Dragging the family to flee famine?Don't be afraid, I have room to fill the granary

Chapter 85 Hypoproteinemia

After Tao Qiqi and the others settled the horses, they brought some grain and two pieces of bacon to the old man.

"Excuse me. This is our kindness, please accept it." After Nangong Ye finished speaking, Tao Qiqi handed over the things.

When the old man saw that it was food and meat, he immediately waved his hand and refused: "No need, no need. It's just a one-night stay. It just so happened that my youngest son took his wife and children back to his parents' home these few days, and their Even if the room is empty, it's still empty, as long as you don't dislike it."

"It's fine to have a place to rest your feet. How can you dislike it? These are our wishes. You should accept them, sir, otherwise we will be very embarrassed."

After Tao Qiqi finished speaking, just when the old man was about to refuse again, another old man on the side smiled and persuaded: "Just accept the wishes of these young masters. From the first look, they must not have had dinner yet. I will cook in a while." Put in more rice and cook two more dishes.”

The old man knew at a glance that she was his wife.

With his wife's persuasion, the old man had no choice but to accept what Tao Qiqi handed over.

"That's fine, then we'll accept it, and I'll add two dishes to you soon."

After the old man finished speaking, Fang Yu behind him hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I'll cook tonight, and we'll eat together later. Let's prepare the meals."

When the old man heard it, he began to refuse again: "How embarrassing."

Fang Yu smiled and replied: "It's okay, we have a lot of people, we also have a lot of men, and we eat a lot, so we should come to cook."

After speaking, Fang Yu took out the food and vegetables that he was going to cook tonight from the carriage.

After her operation, the old man seemed a bit pretentious if he refused, so he had no choice but to arrange for his wife embarrassedly: "Old lady, then you go and help me, light the fire or something."

The old man smiled and responded: "Okay, I'll help light the fire."

As he said that, the old man led Fang Yu to the kitchen.

Tao Qiqi originally wanted to go over and help. After all, there were a lot of people going to eat tonight.

As a result, Chang Wu took her job away.

"Master Peach, you cook lunch at noon, let Xiaoyu and I cook dinner tonight, you go to rest."

After finishing speaking, Chang Wuyi sneaked into the kitchen without giving Tao Qiqi a chance to speak at all.

Seeing this, Tao Qiqi shook her head helplessly, and then let Chang Wu toss about.

The old man asked the eldest son to boil a pot of tea, and then everyone chatted in the yard while drinking tea and resting.

During the chat, everyone learned that this person's surname is Luo, and he is the head of Yunxi Village.

The village chief has two sons and a daughter.

The eldest son is Luo Yang, the second son is Luo Heng, and the youngest daughter is Luo Juan.

Village head Luo went to a private school for a year and a half when he was young, so the names he gave his children were much more pleasant than pillars and stones.

In addition, the eldest son of the Dafang family, Luo Jinglin, is currently 13 years old. He is attending a private school in the county and his grades are not bad.

.......
After getting to know Village Chief Luo's family members, Tao Qiqi didn't see Luo Xiaoyu, the youngest son of the Dafang family, so she accidentally asked: "Then why don't you see Xiaoyu? Isn't he at home either?"

As soon as Tao Qiqi said this, the smile on the face of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Luo family immediately sank.

Seeing this, Tao Qiqi knew that she had said something wrong, and was about to apologize, but Boss Luo explained: "I'm sick, I won't come out of bed for these two days, and I'll rest in my room."

After hearing Boss Luo's explanation, Tao Qiqi finally understood, so she asked with concern: "Have you seen the doctor?"

"I see, but the doctor can't tell what's going on in his situation."

"Well, I'm also a doctor, can you let me have a look?"

After Tao Qiqi finished speaking, Boss Luo's expression did not change much. He just said slowly: "If you don't dislike it, I will trouble you."

After finishing speaking, Boss Luo got up and led Tao Qiqi to their room.

Luo Xiaoyu, who was lying on the bed, was clearly asleep, but was awakened when he heard footsteps.

When he saw it was his father, he shouted weakly: "Dad."

"Xiaoyu, how do you feel now?" Boss Luo looked at his youngest son and asked with concern.

And Tao Qiqi quietly pulled Luo Xiaoyu's hand and began to feel the pulse.

Xiaoyu was very brave, forced himself to show a smile, and then replied: "Father, I'm much better, maybe I'll be fine in two days."

Boss Luo replied happily: "Our Xiaoyu is the bravest. When our Xiaoyu recovers, Dad will take you to the river to catch fish and swim."

Luo Xiaoyu nodded: "Okay, then dad must keep his word."

"It must count."

After Boss Luo made an appointment with his son, Tao Qiqi, who had finished his pulse, looked at Luo Xiaoyu's swollen legs, and then lightly pressed on his calves.

After pressing the button, he slowly spoke: "Did Xiaoyu suffer from hyperthermia (fever) a few days ago?"

"Yes." Boss Luo replied.

"Is Xiaoyu born prematurely, and did Xiaoyu's mother have insufficient milk after birth?" Tao Qiqi asked again.

Xiao Yuniang nodded and replied: "Yes. Is this related to Xiao Yu's current illness?"

Tao Qiqi: "There is a certain relationship."

"Then, can it be cured?" Xiao Yuniang asked nervously and expectantly.

Tao Qiqi looked at Xiao Yuniang and answered affirmatively: "Yes."

As soon as she heard this word, Xiao Yuniang burst into tears.

Fortunately, before Xiao Yu’s mother begged Tao Qiqi to save Xiaoyu, Tao Qiqi hurriedly said: “Xiaoyu’s condition is caused by long-term malnutrition. Let me explain to you in detail. I don’t understand either. But as long as you do what I said and slowly recuperate Xiaoyu’s body, then he will never have such a situation again.”

Because Luo Xiaoyu was malnourished from the beginning of the mother's womb, coupled with premature birth, he had no milk to drink after birth, so he could only rely on rice soup to satisfy his hunger, and when he was older, he could only eat rice cereal.

But the nutrition in these two items is completely insufficient.

What's more, because he was born prematurely, his gastrointestinal tract is not very good, his nutrient absorption is slow, his nutrient supply is insufficient, and his protein is too low.

Explained with modern medicine, this symptom is called 'hypoproteinemia'.

When you have a fever, the protein is lower, which is more likely to cause hydrops, also known as 'nutritional hydrops'.

Nutrition like this must be supplemented, and simple drinking of traditional Chinese medicine cannot solve the problem.

Xiaoyu's situation is not bad. Premature birth itself is very dangerous. Coupled with the lack of nutrition, it is lucky to survive.

What's more, he also suffered from underdeveloped intestines and stomach due to insufficient nutrition, and his nutrient absorption was slow. Fortunately, his heart, liver, and kidneys were fine.

Fortunately, these are no problems, and treatment is not so difficult now.

"Then, what shall we do, how shall we cooperate?" Xiao Yuniang looked at Tao Qiqi nervously and asked.
