Rebirth of Guardian Happiness

Chapter 3

"Sister, you can really sleep, but dad won't let you!" Xiaohu complained with his mouth pouted.

Xiao Hua rubbed his face with her hands, and said jokingly, "If you pout your little mouth again, you can hang an oil pot on it!" Hee hee, children's skin is good, and it feels so good to the touch.

Xiaohu managed to break free from Xiaohua's clutches, and shouted, "Dad left you food and milk!"

Xiaohua didn't care about it yesterday, but today I heard Xiaohu talking about how she drank milk every day when she was a child, but her younger brother didn't. I remember she asked her father why?Dad said that my younger brother will not go to school, and I will arrange it for him when he goes to school.

Xiaohua pulled Xiaohu closer and said, "Yesterday I slept all day and ate a meal. I want to eat today. You can drink the milk!"

"When I go to school, I will drink it every day. It's really delicious and sweet." Xiaohu picked up the jar and drank it when he heard his sister's words.

Xiaohua looked at him distressedly, other people's families were patriarchal, but her father treated her much better than Xiaohu.I remember that at this time, the milk was only drunk by the workers, and the rural people ordered it for themselves~~
Xiaohua saw that the sun was good outside, and there was no need to heat up rice in summer, so she scooped a bowl of braised noodle slices from the pot and ate them. There is also the matter of the old Chinese medicine practitioner, Xu Shi still has the memory in his mind, often when Xiaohu mentions the name of a person, Xiaohua can vaguely see the person's appearance in his mind.

After dinner, I cleaned up the pots and bowls, sent Xiaohu to play with Xiaomei next door, and Xiaohua went to her parents' room. She wanted to find out her father's case and see what's going on now.

After much difficulty, she found her father's case in the prescribed tin box and opened it tremblingly. Xiao Hua's mind went 'boom--', and after that there were only the five words "advanced gastric cancer".There was still a glimmer of hope, but the hope was that the early wishes were dashed.

Calm down, put the case away, and put the tin box back in its original place.Dad must be treated as soon as possible, maybe there will be a miracle.

Called Xiaohu back from the next door, told him to stay in the yard not to run away, and watch the door, Xiaohua hurried to the old doctor's house.

"Grandma Zhao, is Grandpa Zhao there?" Not far from the door of the old Chinese doctor's house, Xiao Hua asked with a smile when she saw the old Chinese doctor's wife sitting on a stone chatting with a few old ladies.

Grandma Zhao nodded and said, "Yes, yes, he is dumping his precious herbs in the yard!"

Xiaohua said politely: "Thank you, Grandma Zhao, I'm going to look for Grandpa, Mam, Auntie, and Grandma Li, so you can talk."

After finishing speaking, Xiaohua walked to the house of Grandpa Zhao, an old Chinese doctor, and could hear the voices of several old ladies talking in the distance.

"Look at this little flower, she's so sensible, alas... Poor baby, she's also a motherless child now, and that little tiger is also a good boy, tsk tsk... so pitiful..."

"Isn't it? I was sick two days ago, so it seems to be fine..."

……

Walking into the yard of Grandpa Zhao’s house, I saw Grandpa Zhao squatting on the ground with a stone mirror carefully looking at the herbs in the frame. Xiaohua didn’t bother him, and kept waiting. When Grandpa Zhao was about to get up, he hurried up hold him up.

"Xiao Hua! Are you cured?" Grandpa Zhao saw Xiao Hua, first took her hand and felt her pulse. "Well~~Okay, Western medicine is good for you quickly, but it's just a temporary solution, Xiaohua~ From now on, you should eat more and exercise more, you understand?"

"Well, I see!" Xiao Hua nodded.

Grandpa Zhao sat on the rocking chair beside Zhao's house. There was a big tree outside Zhao's house. The sun shone through the leaves. It wasn't very hot, but very comfortable. Grandpa Zhao held a cattail fan while shaking.Seeing that Xiao Hua didn't leave, Grandpa Zhao asked curiously, "Xiao Hua, do you need to find Grandpa?"

Xiao Hua bit her lip and said, "Grandpa, can Chinese medicine cure advanced gastric cancer?"

Grandpa Zhao paused, looked at Xiao Hua, and slowly shook his head. When he saw Jiang Zi some time ago, he found that his expression was not right. He didn't want to feel his pulse. He didn't expect it to be so serious.

Seeing the other party shaking her head, Xiao Hua's tears rolled down, and Grandpa Zhao wiped her tears with distress. Poor child, just after mother left, father just...

"Grandpa, tell me, how long does it take to start treatment now?" Xiao Hua asked with her eyes closed.

Grandpa Zhao said helplessly: "Grandpa can't tell. It's just that in the middle and late stages, Western medicine is no longer effective, and only chemotherapy is available. If Chinese medicine and acupuncture are treated properly, some people can live for a long time."

"Then grandpa, will you cure my dad?" Xiao Hua begged, tugging at Grandpa Zhao's sleeve.

Grandpa Zhao nodded and said, "As long as you bring your father over, I will treat him as much as possible."

Xiao Hua bowed deeply to Grandpa Zhao, choked up and said, "Thank you, Grandpa. I will try to convince Dad as soon as possible. Grandpa, can you tell me about the taboos of this disease?"

……

After leaving Grandpa Zhao's house, Xiaohua's heart was very heavy, and she was not even in the mood to fight with Xiaohu when she got home.

Xiaohu saw that his sister was in a bad mood, so he didn't dare to make a fuss. He was already able to read people's faces at a young age.Seeing my sister picking up the broom and sweeping the floor, I obediently ran to the side and picked up the dustpan and handed it to her. The siblings cleaned all three rooms, and wiped the tables and stools. Although Xiaohua was doing it, Xiaohu just Running around.

After doing this, Xiaohua saw that she and Xiaohu were dirty, and saw that her father was drying two large basins of water in the yard. In her memory, she and her younger brother used this to take a bath.

Test the water temperature, pull up a basin of water, put the water under the sun, take out the soap from the house, and take Xiaohu's clean clothes, put them aside, and insert the door from the inside.

"Sister, do you want to bathe me?" Xiaohu asked.

Xiao Hua helped her take off her clothes, and said, "Ask the question when you know it, even if you know it all, but you have to ask again, understand?"

Xiaohu grinned and didn't speak, but took off his clothes obediently, and put half of the water in the big basin into the washbasin. Fortunately, the washbasin is not small. Instruct Xiaohu to sit in the big basin, and use a towel to cover his body first. Wet, Xiaohu was not very quiet, he kept thumping in the water, the angry Xiaohua pulled him up and slapped him hard on the buttocks, and then he calmed down.

First use the shredded loofah to wipe Xiaohu's body little by little. Fortunately, Xiaohu is only 5 years old, and Xiaohua has no defense against him.

When bathing Xiaohu, I rubbed his itchy flesh, which made Xiaohu giggle and Xiaohua amused.After wiping, he wiped the shredded melon with soap, and then wiped it again on Xiaohu's body, and of course his bald head.Then use the dirty water in the basin to roughly wash off the soap scum on Xiaohu's body, and drag the basin to the sink to pour out the dirty water.Finally, pour the water in the washbasin back into the large basin, and rinse the body again with clean water.Dry him with a dry towel and change him into clean clothes.

Xiao Hua stretched her waist, she was so tired~~ Looking at herself getting wet by Xiao Hu, she unceremoniously brought him a small bench, opened the door and asked Xiao Hu to sit outside and help her to hold the door, the door was still inside Plug it in.

Looking at the basin of water, and then touching her hair, Xiaohua sighed, and filled the basin with the water that Xiaohu flushed the last time, but poured as much clear water as possible, who is quite clear, Xiaohua shook her head with a smile.Take down the bottle with shampoo written on it from the window sill. I remember that in the beginning, shampoo was only for women. Dad bought it for mom and myself, right?

With the basin of water and the remaining basin of water, Xiaohua tried her best to wash herself clean, put on clean clothes after washing, and combed her hair with a wooden comb. There was no conditioner. Not convenient?As soon as Xiaohua finished expressing her feelings, she saw a new bottle of bee flower hair conditioner next to the wooden comb, and a black line appeared on her forehead.

After combing his hair, he opened the door for Xiaohu to let him in, "Sister, are you really slow?"

Gently tapped his head with a wooden comb, and said disapprovingly: "If I were bald like you, I would take a shower quickly. Let me tell you, don't run around after washing."

"I see—" Xiaohu said mischievously.

Xiaohua put the dirty clothes that she and Xiaohu had changed into the basin, and then washed them. Fortunately, the clothes were thin in summer, so she finished washing them in a short while. Sticking out my tongue, I have to work hard for my father to catch the water again.Fortunately, the faucet in the village is not far from her home. Xiaohua’s hometown is not very backward. There are unified water pipes in the village, with 5 faucets in a row, which is very similar to the water room in the university later, but it is open-air. Washing clothes there saves a lot of energy and can fetch water nearby, but Xiaohua never thought that she could wash clothes there.

After finishing all this, I wanted to help my father cook, but looking at the pot and stove, Xiaohua was dumbfounded. The most popular "Western Stove" was used at home. The fire was lit in the stove, and when the door was closed, there was no smoke at all. Although it is much more convenient than a bellows stove, Xiaohua can't light a fire. After washing and cutting vegetables aside, Xiaohua can't.

Seeing Xiaohu running around entertaining himself, Xiaohua rolled her eyes, can she play like this?Call Xiaohu over, go to the stone table next to the yard, take out a finished book from the room, turn the book over, write Jiang Lin and Xiaohu's name on the back, and start teaching him how to write Come.Xiaohua went to school at the age of six, and there is no kindergarten. She will be in fourth grade next semester. She just passed her 8th birthday, and now she is 9 years old.

In Xiao Hua's hometown, there is an arsenal that manufactures some mechanical parts and so on. Jiang's father works as a quality inspector and works nine to five. Can be busy.One day, when Father Jiang came home from get off work, he saw clean clothes hanging on the iron wires in the yard. I saw my daughter teaching my son how to read.Jiang's father's heart was slowly rising. How wonderful would it be if his wife was still there?

Without disturbing the two children, he went back to the house and lit a fire to cook.After the family finished their meal happily, Xiao Huafei rushed to wash the dishes and wasted a lot of water. Jiang's father saw that there was not much water in the water jar, so he picked up a pole and returned with two buckets of water.

It was getting dark, coaxing Xiaohu to sleep, Xiaohua walked to the door of her father's room and knocked on the door.
