Fertile land

Chapter 45

When Luo Zhi'er was about to arrive, Luo Zhi'er asked An Ge'er to look first...

The old man with the white beard is named Du.

There is a man in his eighties, with silver hair like snow.

He looks thin, energetic, and has piercing eyes. I heard that he is here for a special visit today, and he has never come here before... he has retired!

"Doctor Du..."

Before she could finish her words, the woman hurriedly stepped forward and pushed her away, "You're so stupid, get out of the way and let me speak!"

He gave Dr. Du a flattering smile and said,

"Haha, Doctor Du, my brother An was told to wear thick clothes, but that's not true... because he always gets cold..."

Doctor Du raised his eyes and glanced at her impatiently, "Who are you? Do you usually take care of this little baby?"

"That's not true! I am her mother-in-law, and this is my eldest grandson!"

"Then let his mother speak!"

"Ask me the same thing..."

The woman muttered dissatisfiedly!
Doctor Du frowned: "The same thing? Can you take his mother's place?"

"...Then let me ask you, how many times does your eldest grandson urinate in a day? Is it dry or loose? How often does it take to urinate?"

"Is the urine thick or light? How many times do you drink water a day? How many times do you eat food? What do you eat at each meal? How many times do you sleep during the day? How many times do you wake up during the night?"

"Ah...uh...here, doctor, no, why are you asking these questions? I'm here to see my grandson, and you're asking if he has these things? How do I know?"

The old woman was confused by the question... Brother An slept with his mother at night... During the day, her mother took care of him, so she would give guidance from time to time. How could she know the details?
"I don't know? I don't know why you came here to ask? You must understand these basic conditions when seeing a doctor."

"This……"

"What's this, I'm very busy, let his mother explain it to him quickly, stand back!!!"

"Speed, there's someone down there!"

"That's right, you get out of the way! Stop being ink stained!"

Someone is yelling from behind!

The woman was so embarrassed when the doctor scolded her that her face turned red.

She was the hostess of this house, but she was scolded for no reason despite her good behavior, so she had to stand aside awkwardly...

An Ge'er's mother just came over, hugged the baby and said,

"Doctor Du, please help me take a look at my brother An's eyes, and he always has a fever..."

"There are a lot of red rashes on my body, and they are all scratched. I can't sleep well at night and always cry... Also, the skin on my lower body is all broken. Can you prescribe some medicinal powder?"

The old woman suddenly jumped up and down, and her sharp voice made the people in the medicine shop turn around frequently, "What kind of powder should I prescribe? We rural people use mud from the mountains!"

The medicinal powder they are talking about is equivalent to modern prickly heat powder, which is very dry.

Some rural people here use marl, which is said to be a secret recipe handed down from ancestors. This marl comes from different places, and the effect needs to be verified!

"You prodigal bitch, you have a lot of money, right?"

"When I get back, I'll ask An Ge'er's father to divorce you, you bastard!!!"

Luo Zhi'er was also angry after hearing this. This old woman is really as good as Li Sanmao!
Li Sanmao's mother currently has three daughters-in-law, but An Ge'er's mother is the one she is being targeted for.

"To shut up!"

Doctor Du couldn't help it anymore, "Waiter, come here and take this hot-tongued woman out and ask her to wait outside..."

"Yes!"

The younger brother just now quickly called another medicine boy, ran over and took the reluctant old woman out...

The old woman was still cursing when she left, "You have money, you pay for medical treatment yourself, I don't have money to cut your bags for you!" For a while, the patients rolled their eyes at her, shunned her, and dismissed her... "Who is this?"

"It's been eight lifetimes of bad luck to meet a mother-in-law like this. She can't figure out how much she weighs... The child's illness is not something else and can be discussed! Just scold her and it'll be fine?"

Doctor Du's ears were now clear, and he looked carefully at An Geer's eyes... tongue coating... and opened all his clothes to take a look...

An Geerniang felt sad and tears welled up in her eyes.

Mother-in-law doesn’t pay, what will Brother An do when he buys medicine?
Doctor Du looked at An Geer's face and asked, "Madam, how old is this little treasure?"

"Six months."

"Did you drink milk in the morning?"

"I don't have milk...he eats rice juice..."

"This milk needs to keep up, otherwise his resistance will be relatively weak. After all, he is still young..."

"And is the environment where you live relatively humid?"

"There is such a thing!"

"Well, he has a lot of eczema on his body. I'll prescribe some emollient for you and put it on!"

"it is good!"

……

Luo Zhi'er was also more concerned about An Ge'er's eyes and stood behind to listen...

"The skin on your baby's butt is already inflamed. The powder doesn't work. You need a specific ointment to apply it. Keep it clean and dry. Don't cover it with diapers for the time being... Remember not to listen to your mother-in-law and go to the mountain. Putting plaster on it is not clean and will cause infection and make it more troublesome..."

"His eyes are also related to the humid environment. In addition, his resistance is weak, and he has severe conjunctivitis. You see, he is crying all the time, and there are foreign bodies in his eyes. It is difficult to heal on his own!"

"I don't know if he has come into contact with contaminated objects...such as rubbing his eyes with his hands, or a source of infection such as dirty towels..."

An Geerniang thought for a while, but she was not like this. She usually paid more attention to hygiene!
Suddenly I remembered that the last time my mother-in-law used her hands that had been filled with feces, she used her hands to remove the feces from An Geer’s eyes!

There was more and more eye pus in the back, and while he was scolding her for being lazy and harmful, he washed her face with the linen cloth on the table, and her eyes...

She asked her mother-in-law to wash her hands before hugging An Geer. Her mother-in-law was very angry and said that the children they grew up in the countryside were not that delicate!
"Yes, my mother-in-law used her fingers to poke holes in his eyes last time. I wonder if this will have any effect?"

"better not!"

"Brother An, this conjunctivitis is quite serious. He is still young and has high requirements for medicines that cannot harm his body. He needs only good medicinal materials to treat and reduce inflammation."

"This medicine is very expensive, and ordinary medicines are not effective for symptoms like Ang'er's!"

"Doctor Du, how much money do you need?"

"This medicinal ingredient alone costs eight taels of silver. An Ge'er's illness is complicated, and combined, you will have to spend at least ten taels today!"

Doctor Du kindly pointed out that he could tell that the old woman was in charge of the affairs, and An Ge Er Niang probably couldn't get the money!

"What? Doctor Du, can't it be cheaper?" An Ge'er cried.

"I'm too old to decide on this medicine. Seeing that you've been waiting in line for so long, Brother An's condition is quite serious. I'll give you the prescription for free. If you don't like this medicine, go to a nearby drug store to get it!"

"Then I'll trouble Doctor Du!"

Old man Du sighed and buried himself in writing about the pharmacy!

"Remember, if you don't take the medicine Lao Chan prescribed for An Ge'er properly, he may be in danger of going blind in the future!"

"what?"

"This is not alarmist talk!"

Luo Zhi'er saw An Ge'er's wife standing up in despair. It was her turn again, and before she had time to say hello, she went out to find her mother-in-law with the baby in her arms...
