Chapter 91
Hearing that Sun Xin was going to send Mrs. Le Zhang back, Hu Sanniang was a little worried. She whispered to Sun Xin, "Sister-in-law will be beaten when she goes back now?"

Sun Xin looked at Hu Sanniang with a smile and said: "If she didn't want to go back, she would have gone back to her mother's house long ago. The reason why she came to us is because she didn't want to go back to her mother's house in Laizhou. It would be difficult to get down the steps, and it was not easy to go to her brother Sun Li's house to have a good time with her." He's elder sister, Mrs. Le, came because of embarrassment, sister-in-law, she lacks a reason to go back."

After hearing Sun Xin's explanation, Hu Sanniang was still a little worried. Sun Xin asked the farmer to set up a car. Hu Sanniang looked at Mrs. Le Zhang, but she saw Mrs. Le Zhang silently following Sun Xin out. Only then did she understand what Sun Xin said seemed like That's right.

When Sun Xin asked the farmer to help set up the car, he went to the warehouse next to the granary and picked up a bottle of distilled wine and a bottle of tiger penis wine to take with him.

The farmer quickly set up the car, and Mrs. Le Zhang got into the car with the help of Sun Xin. Sun Xin sat in front of the car by himself, and Sun Xin drove the car to Dengzhou City.

Along the way, Sun Xin chatted with Le Zhang from time to time, which eased the tension in Le Zhang's heart.

Le Zhang quarreled with her husband Le He last night when she couldn't speak well, and she was so suppressed that she couldn't help but say something bad, but her husband hit her with his face reeking of alcohol.

After so many years, this was the first time her husband had done anything, and Mrs. Le Zhang got angry and ran out of the house.

After running out of the house, Mrs. Zhang thought about it and didn't want to really go back to her mother's house, so she had nowhere to go, so she went to Sun Xin's place crying.

She was also worried about the next step, but she didn't expect Sun Xin to make up her mind for her. At this time, Sun Xin was still sending words in front of the car to reassure him. Although he is young, he has good ideas. Maybe Sun Xin can really say something nice for him when he goes back this time.

Sun Xin drove the car very quickly and entered Dengzhou City in the middle of the afternoon.

The two arrived at Lehe's house all the way, only to see three prefabricated houses without corridors in front of them. There was a small yard with a gourd stand in the yard, and there were no chickens under it, just a reclining chair. I usually enjoy it quite a lot, even if the conditions at home are average, I like to sit leisurely under this gourd stand for a while.

There was no one at home in the middle of the afternoon, so Mrs. Le Zhang got out of the car and opened the door to invite Sun Xin in.

Sun Xin followed Le Zhang into the fence, deliberately not closing the door.

Mrs. Le Zhang yelled twice when he entered the door. It took a long time before a small head poked out from behind the door. He blinked his eyes and saw that Mrs. Le Zhang was coming, so the child ran out quickly and jumped into Mr. Le Zhang In Shi's arms, crying: "Mother, you are back."

It was Le Cheng, the seven-year-old son of Le He and Le Zhang.

Sun Xin knew that Le He had this child when he was in his thirties, and he usually doted on him very much. He had seen him a few times before, and in his memory, Le Cheng had inherited his father's cleverness. , but now Le Cheng has lost a lot of weight, and his stomach is also swollen. After watching for a while, Sun Xin couldn't help frowning slightly.

Le Cheng threw himself into Le Zhang's arms and said: "Mother, you ran out yesterday, and Dad went out angrily last night to search for the whole night and didn't come back. He just locked me at home, and no one cares about me until today. You are hungry and no one cooks. You put out the fire in the hearth last night, Dad took the fire scythe, and Le Cheng couldn't make a fire, and broke a lot of firewood."

As he spoke, Le Cheng burst into tears, and Sun Xin sighed secretly, this child also committed crimes, obviously one night after his father and mother quarreled and left, no one cared about him, he felt very scared.

Listening to her son crying and talking, Mrs. Le Zhang couldn't help crying.

It's not a problem for the two of them to hug and cry, so Sun Xin quickly said to Le Zhang: "Sister-in-law, why don't you cook some food for the child first, the child is also hungry."

He reminded Le Zhang only now that he remembered, wiped away his tears and said "Hey", and said to Le Cheng, "Mother will cook for you right now."

Sun Xin followed them into the kitchen and saw that there was no preparation for the cold pots and stoves in the kitchen. Mrs. Le Zhang said that she was going to cook, so Le Cheng was very sensible and took a knife to the garden to cut some vegetables for washing. .

Sun Xin was very weak when he saw Le Cheng walking up and down.

He washed the dishes and took them to the kitchen, Mrs. Le Zhang went to the kitchen to light a fire to prepare, and Sun Xin sat on the recliner in the courtyard and said to Le Cheng, "Le Cheng, come here and let me see."

Le Cheng walked over obediently, Sun Xin watched his gait for a while, and his brows became more and more wrinkled.

"Le Cheng, have you been sick these few days?"

Le Cheng replied honestly: "Last month, I had a fever, my stomach hurts and I have a cough."

"And then your stomach swelled up?"

Le Cheng nodded: "Uncle Sun Xin, how do you know?"

Sun Xin took a deep breath, "You have been in the water in summer."

Le Cheng thought carefully for a while before saying to Sun Xin: "When it was hot, I went to the river with my father to take a bath."

"It's not just bathing in the river, is it?"

Le Cheng faltered for a long time, and then whispered to Sun Xin under Sun Xin's strict questioning: "I also went to touch the snails with a few partners."

Sun Xin secretly sighed, that's right.

In the course of the barefoot doctor he studied in his previous life, many of the infectious diseases that were highlighted were eliminated in several sanitation campaigns after the founding of New China. When Sun Xin came to learn, there were already very few patients, such as smallpox Basically, it is useless to learn. Even if there are, many of them have not appeared in Sun Xin's area for many years.

And now Le Cheng's disease is such a kind, what he has is obviously the schistosomiasis mentioned in the previous life textbook.

Schistosomiasis once ravaged the whole country before liberation in the previous life, but after several large-scale prevention and control campaigns after liberation, it has become rare in Sun Xin's hometown.Because the pathogen of this disease is schistosomiasis hidden in fresh water, it is usually acquired by farmers who often come into contact with fresh water bodies. Farmers in the south need to plant rice in paddy fields, so there are still cases in later generations. In agricultural areas, this disease has basically been extinct.

Sun Xin did not expect that children as young as Le Cheng would suffer from schistosomiasis in this era.

"Daddy asked the doctor in Guangjifang to prescribe me medicine, but my stomach still hurts after taking it. I told my mother that my mother went to find my father. The crying father was annoying, so my mother and father started arguing. We Then I didn’t dare to say it.”

As he spoke, Le Cheng sniffled a little aggrieved.

Sun Xin helped Le Cheng wipe away his tears with his fingers and said to Le Cheng, "Take out your medicine, uncle, and have a look."

Le Cheng ran into the room weakly and quickly brought a pack of medicine.

Sun Xin opened it, took out the powder inside, smelled it, and then nodded. This is the dried powder of shelled pumpkin seeds. It cannot cure the root cause.

Pumpkin is a crop introduced from Africa. It was only popularized in the Ming Dynasty and was not widely planted in the Song Dynasty. Lehe's ability to get this medicine for his children shows that he really searched for it with all his heart, but I'm afraid that's all he can do.
