Xue's daughter-in-law

Chapter 42

Xue Shu swam in the water for a long time, only caught a river fish slightly bigger than the palm of his hand, he surfaced with some disappointment, and found that the sun was almost sinking.

While putting on his trousers, he looked towards the ground, but there was no one there. Could it be that the elder brother and his wife went back to cook first?

Xue Shu didn't think much, and walked back carrying the short jacket that was twisted and twisted by the river fish.He wanted to go straight home, but he didn't want to see the wooden barrel at home when he was about to turn the corner, standing alone on the edge of the ground.He scratched his head in wonder, not understanding why his wife left the bucket here, and then when he went to pick up the bucket, he found that there was still a field ridge that had not been watered, so he simply put his clothes on the ground, ran to fetch water, and went back and forth After running three times, the newly planted seedlings were finally watered.He smiled contentedly, ran home with a bucket in one hand and clothes in the other, and told his wife when he went back, she would definitely praise him.

The journey of two miles was nothing to him, and soon he ran to the door of the house, and saw his little daughter-in-law squatting in front of the stove to light the fire.

"Daughter-in-law, I caught a fish!" He yelled and ran in.

Ye Ya was taken aback by him, and the ashes in her hand almost spilled out. Before he came in, she quickly packed it up, stood up with difficulty while supporting the pot, and moved in crookedly, because the menstruation happened so suddenly She didn't make any preparations. Just after Xue Song left, she lay down for a while and then got up and sewed two cloth belts. She didn't even have time to change her clothes. Besides, without cloth belts, it would be useless to change them.

She didn't want him to see this kind of thing, so she pushed the door behind her back after entering the house. After changing into clean clothes, she rolled up the dirty clothes and stuffed them in the corner of the closet, planning to wash them after dark .

"Daughter-in-law, why are you inserting the door, let me in!" Xue Shu knocked on the door wonderingly.

Ye Ya clutched her stomach and opened the door bolt, didn't bother to explain to him, climbed back to the kang, and lay down wrapped in a quilt, she was very cold, even though it was midsummer now.

"Daughter-in-law, why did you go to bed so early?" Xue Shu leaned down on the edge of the kang, looked at her brightly, but when he saw her pale face in pain, he was so frightened that he couldn't even speak. After a long pause, he touched her forehead tremblingly, "Daughter-in-law, are you sick?" The daughter-in-law looked so pitiful, and he felt very uncomfortable looking at it, with tightness in his chest.

His hands were big and warm, and Ye Ya's tears fell, "Ashu, I'm not sick, but my stomach hurts..."

As soon as she cried, Xue Shu's tears fell, "Then what should I do? I'll go to that old man, can he cure you?"

Ye Ya was nostalgic for the warmth of his hands, she held his hands against her face, and then smiled at him, "It's not that I'm sick, it's just that it hurts a little now, and it will be fine the day after tomorrow, but you have to cook tonight Now, you can make porridge and drink, there are still a few cakes left in the morning, enough to eat."

Her face was covered with sweat, her brows were furrowed from beginning to end, and she smiled so weakly that Xue Shu didn't believe her words at all.He wanted to go to the old man from last time, but his wife took his hand and pressed her cool face against him, as if it would be more comfortable.He was out of ideas, wondering if he should leave or not.

Ye Ya quickly let go of him, "Ah Shu, let's go cook, I'll sleep for a while..." Before she finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps in the yard, she panicked and struggled to sit up, But the next moment the door curtain was lifted, and a pair of big hands pressed on her shoulders, "Sister and brother, lie down and let Uncle Sun show you."

After Xue Song finished speaking, he withdrew his hand, pulled Xue Shu aside, and then opened the door curtain to invite Sun Langzhong to come in.

There are so many rules in the peasant family, Sun Langzhong didn't think there was anything wrong with Xue Song entering his sibling's room, and Xue Shu was also there.

As for Ye Ya's illness, Langzhong Sun had already guessed a bit from Xue Song's description, but now that he saw Ye Ya's appearance, he felt that it was almost the same.However, it is still necessary to take the pulse.

He sat down in front of the kang, and said to Ye Ya, whose face was flushed abnormally, "Extend your arm, and the old man will feel your pulse."

Ye Ya knew that her menstruation was abnormal, but she had never seen the doctor before. Unless the maids of the Sun House were particularly embarrassing in front of the master, they were not qualified to ask the master to ask the doctor to help him diagnose and treat minor illnesses. I asked someone to buy some medicine according to the local prescription, and I had to secretly ask the mother-in-law in the kitchen to help me accommodate, and I borrowed a small pot to boil the medicine.Once she had a seizure and was seen by her master, and the master only told her to be careful not to catch a cold in the future, maybe it would be fine in a year or two, so Ye Ya felt that this is just a problem that all women have.

Now that all the old doctors are here, she can't say that she doesn't need to watch it, can she?

But, that kind of thing... She glanced secretly at Xue Shu and Xue Song. The former looked at her with worried faces, and the latter also looked at her with those deep eyes. Their eyes met. She thought he would be like She avoided it as usual, but Xue Song nodded slightly at her, as if to persuade her to be obedient!

Ye Ya's heart trembled, did the elder brother coax her like a child?
She pursed her lips, summoned up her courage and said to Xue Song, "Brother, can you go out first?"

Xue Song was stunned, he really didn't expect her to say such words suddenly, did he not want him to listen?

He couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, but he respected her decision, took one last look at her sweaty temple hair, her tearful eyes, turned and left.However, when he walked to the door of the kitchen, he paused again, thought for a while, and walked back to the door of the west house lightly. The second brother didn't understand anything. He had to know what kind of disease she was suffering from, so he could know in the future how to take care of her.

There was a conversation between the two in the room.

"Girl, when was the first time you came to Kuishui, did you feel so uncomfortable then?"

"Yes, it came when I was 12 years old. It hurt a little at the time, but not as bad as it is now."

"Oh, did you catch cold later? Eat something raw and cold?"

"No, I, I washed the clothes in cold water. It was the twelfth lunar month..." Ye Ya closed her eyes and said, at that time she was just a little maid in charge of washing clothes, and when she came to the sunflower water just in time to wash a lot of clothes, She was very uncomfortable, but the woman in charge ordered that she wash it that day, and she worked with another little maid until dark, her hands were so cold that she couldn't even hold the chopsticks, and she was in so much pain that night...

Sun Langzhong nodded, glanced at Xue Shu who was beside him with a blank face, and asked again: "Then do you come to Kuishui regularly? Besides stomach pain, do you have any other symptoms?" But small, if it is not carefully adjusted, it may affect conception.

Ye Ya thought for a while, "It's pretty regular, I come once every two months, sometimes it's later, just my back is sore and my stomach hurts, but everything else is fine." Feeling nervous and embarrassed, she replied very attentively, and she also hoped that this problem could be cured.

Sun Langzhong stopped talking and felt her pulse again with a solemn expression.

Ye Ya is scared, is she seriously ill?
There was no sound in the room for a long time, Xue Song's heart was raised, suddenly the door was dark, he looked sideways, and saw Xue Bai looking at him suspiciously.Xue Song quickly made a silent gesture to him, afraid that he would expose himself by making a sound.

The doubts in Xue Bai's eyes were even worse, the elder brother actually hid at the door of the West House and eavesdropped, could it be that the second brother and the second sister-in-law were inside...it shouldn't be?

Just as he was nervous, an old voice came from inside.

"Girl, you really don't care about yourself. Didn't your mother tell you that when you come to sunflower water, you can't even get cold in summer, so how can you wash clothes in cold water in winter? You are a cold evil invader." , cold palace syndrome! Normal women, come here once a month, and may occasionally feel abdominal pain and backache at first, but it is definitely not as serious as yours, oh, what a nonsense!"

Hearing what Sun Langzhong said, Ye Ya felt cold all over, "Uncle Sun, then, can my illness be cured? What will happen if it can't be cured?"

Both people outside the house pricked up their ears.

"Don't worry, your condition is not too bad. You can still recuperate after a year or two of recuperation, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to conceive in these two years. Fortunately, you are still young, so don't rush, let's recuperate your body first. Okay. I’ll give you a prescription right now. Next time you’re in unbearable pain, just follow the prescription and grab the medicine. And then you usually eat more things that invigorate your Qi and warm your body, such as walnuts, red dates, and peanuts. These are the things we farmers can afford Yes, especially the red dates soaked in water or decocted for consumption, which can invigorate Qi and regulate blood."

Sun Langzhong said slowly, let Ye Ya have time to remember that the rich have better cures for this disease, and the available materials are bird's nest, abalone and other villagers who may not see it in their lifetime, and he didn't say it. use.However, thinking that Xue’s family only had a few dozen pennies when he came last time, and now they are starting to build a new house, he added, “If the family has spare money, it’s best to buy a few black-bone chickens and stew them to nourish blood and drive away the cold. There is also drinking honey, buy jujube honey, usually drink more ginger syrup, by the way, don’t get too cold, don’t be too tired, rest when you should rest, nothing is as important as taking care of your body, this is It's a lifetime thing, remember?"

Ye Ya nodded numbly. Although the other party said so much, she only understood one thing. If she didn't manage well, she wouldn't be able to conceive a child...

She glanced at Xue Shu and tried not to cry, "Ashu, take Uncle Sun to the East Room to write a prescription."

Seeing the tears in her eyes, Xue Shu stretched out his hand and grabbed Langzhong Sun who got up and was about to go out: "Why don't you apply medicine to my daughter-in-law?" Last time he applied the medicine to the elder brother, and the eldest brother will recover soon!

Sun Langzhong looked at the little daughter-in-law who was crying under the quilt, and then at the stupid man in front of him, and sighed silently.

After a while, Xue Song and Xue Bai brought Sun Langzhong to the door, and it was already dark.

The two stood silently for a moment, Xue Song folded the prescription and put it in his sleeve pocket suddenly, and said to Xue Bai: "Your second sister-in-law is in so much pain that she passed out from the pain before, I'm afraid it will be even more uncomfortable at night. I'd better take advantage of the dark Go to the town to grab the medicine, you go in first, don't let her know, if she knows about her temperament, she will have trouble sleeping at night."
