The medicine of rebirth

Chapter 235 Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Smallpox
The sun was setting on the western mountain, and the sky was getting darker. Then everyone packed up their tools and carried a large basket of potatoes they had dug on their backs, stepping on the paved road and preparing to go back. Naturally, Su Banxi and Ye Sang were not idle. , each carrying a small basket, which was filled with potatoes. At the beginning, Su Wen and Ning Chen both asked Su Banxi, and they both wanted to take over the bamboo basket on her back, but she shook her head and refused.

"Let's go, let's go, I can still carry this weight, you two don't talk too much, let's go, it depends on your mother and they have gone a long way." Su Banxi kept urging the two people standing in front of her, In the end, both of them couldn't resist Su Banxi, so they could only walk slowly with Su Banxi and Ye Sang in the middle.

In the evening, the villagers who had eaten and came out to enjoy the shade all saw that Shanming Qiuming and others were carrying a bamboo basket slowly on their backs. The plant leaves that have been used have made everyone curious and asked:

"Qiuming, what are you carrying on your backs?"

"Aunt Zhu, what are you doing now? You don't feel tired when you come back with so many dirty things!"

There were different opinions, but Qiuming, Aunt Zhu and others just smiled and did not answer, but hurried to their home. They had been down from the mountain for almost an hour, and they didn't have the saliva to talk to them. The potatoes on the table were unbearable, even Zhu Jian and Su Wen, who were used to farm work, strode out panting, ignoring the villagers who surrounded them wanting to know what they were carrying. .

Both Su Banxi and Ye Sang couldn't move their legs. In the end, Ning Chen couldn't see it and asked Su Banxi to hug the small bamboo basket on her back, and quickly followed Su Wen's footsteps. Ye Sang pouted but He didn't complain, and avoided Ye Wang's hand, "I can do it, look!"

Ye Wang laughed lightly and shook the basket on his back and walked towards Su's house. Su Banxi's shoulders were so sore, but he never thought that Ning Chen was so strong, and he could carry the basket on his back better than Su Wen. Not much, but now that she still has the basket that belongs to her, she can walk so fast. After a while, she hurriedly chased after her.

Big Zhuang and Xiao Zhuang teased the two sheep in front of the sheepfold with grass, causing them to bleat. Su Banxi opened the door first, and then quickly let the person carrying potatoes in behind, Su Shi hurriedly saw it. He got up and went to help them unload the potatoes from their backs and lean against the corner. Except for Ye Wang and Ye Sang and his son, the rest went back to their homes.

Su Shi couldn't help being a little dumbfounded seeing the same things in the baskets of several people, "You went to the mountain for a long time and came back with these things on your back. Can you eat the dirty ones?" No wonder Su Shi would be like this The doubt is that the shape of the potatoes is really irregular, and the outer layer of the skin was stained with a lot of mud not long after it was unearthed, so it looks really dirty.

Can it be eaten? Is it good? Except for the three of Su Shi Da Zhuang and Xiao Zhuang, everyone who has gone to the mountain to dig potatoes has tasted this taste. It is absolutely delicious. Dip some chili noodles so that they can eat their stomachs After some support, they took a leisurely rest for a while and started to move, but now everyone is tired, sitting on the steps and chairs and waving at Su Shi without image, while the big and small are tiptoeing to look at the Potatoes in a basket.

Before Su Shi went to the kitchen to pour water out, he yelled, and all the potatoes in the basket were knocked to the ground, and the two children, big and small, were buried in the pile of potatoes and screamed, Su asked Ning Chenye Sang laughed so hard that his stomach twitched, but it was Mrs. Zhao who hurried forward and pulled the big and small Zhuang out of the potato pile, with a lot of dirt on their faces and clothes, making it even more ridiculous.

Seeing them like this, Mrs. Zhao poked their foreheads, dumbfounded, "What do you think you two are going to look through, it's all right now, dirty your clothes, let your mother know and look at her How about cleaning up you two little naughty ghosts, go to the basin and wash your hands."

Big Zhuang and Xiao Zhuang also knew that they had done something wrong, so they obediently scooped water from the water tank on tiptoe and poured it into the basin to wash their hands. Finally, they also looked at the dirty hands of several people and thought: In order to pour out the dirty water from the two of them, he scooped up a lot of water in the water tank again and poured it in front of Su Banxi. He smiled at Su Banxi with his face that was still stained with a lot of dust. : "Sister Xizi, wash your hands."

Su Banxi had just recovered her breath when she saw the basin of clear water in front of her. She smiled and said thank you to the two of them before washing her hands. He went to cook, and told them to drink water after they had recovered their breath so that they would not suffer from bronchitis. Su Shi bent down and picked up all the potatoes that had rolled away one by one. When Su Banxi got a headache, how would he peel the potatoes? At that time, Ning Chen, who had already cleaned up, came in and blocked her light.

"Xixi, can I help you?" Ning Chen moved aside to let the light covered by him flow on Su Banxi's body again, which was very warm.

Su Banxi was worrying about not being able to find someone to peel the potatoes, so she raised her eyes and smiled, "Of course, we will have a whole potato feast tonight, but I can't peel the potatoes, so I can only trouble you, Chenchen." .” After speaking, he handed over the potatoes and a knife smaller than a kitchen knife to signal Ning Chen to start work quickly, otherwise they will not be able to eat this meal until very late.

Ning Chen learned a lot about carving during that time, so peeling potatoes is naturally difficult... difficult.

Looking at the potato with only a little bit of potato meat left in his hand, Ning Chen's face was hot and shy, and when Su Banxi looked over, he reflexively hid the little potato in his hand behind him, coughed and said nothing , Su Banxi's eyes moved from his face to the thick potato skin on the ground, and couldn't help laughing out loud. It wasn't until Ning Chen's eyes flickered fiercely, and the heat on his face became even hotter, that he couldn't hold back his smile. Ning Chen discussed and said, "Why don't you go and call my brother here!"

Although Ning Chen didn't want anyone to disturb the solitude between him and Su Banxi, his eyes silently shifted to the thick potato skin on the ground, he stood up silently, turned around and went out, and there seemed to be faint signs behind him. Su Banxi's laughter made Ning Chen walk faster and faster, and found Su Wen in the small room where the Su family kept farm tools and sundries. It turned out that he was bringing in the potatoes they carried back with Su Shi and the Zhao family.

"What's wrong with Xiaochen?" Mrs. Zhao asked, wiping the sweat from her head. Ye Wang just carried the last potato back and dumped it in the place surrounded by several big stones by Su Shi and Su Wen. Ning Chen After hesitating for a while, he finally looked up at Su Wen and said, "Brother Wenzi, Xixi has something to do with you." As for what it was, Ning Chen really didn't want to say it. He clearly did a good job in sculpting, but why? It's just that he can't solve a potato, and still makes Xixi laugh like that.

Zhao Shi and Su Shi asked Su Wen to go to the kitchen to help Su Banxi without thinking too much, a few of them would be enough here, and Su Wen didn't ask Ning Chen what Su Banxi wanted from him, and waited until the kitchen looked at him. When there was a pile of potato peels, he glanced sideways at Ning Chen who was beside him with his head bowed and silent, as if he understood something, and there was a faint suppressed smile on the corner of his mouth.

Su Banxi has cleaned the polished round-grained rice and steamed it in a pot, because the Yulan Festival is spent in Yuning Town, and there is no food prepared at home. She and Ning Chen have finished eating the pork they brought back from the town last time. , now there are only some common seasonal vegetables left. The green peppers picked from the vegetable bed became silky under the force of the kitchen knife and put aside. Seeing Su Wen come in, he put down the kitchen knife in his hand and pointed at the pile of potatoes on the ground and said: " Brother, peel your potatoes! The more the merrier!"

Su Wen smiled and agreed. At the beginning, he couldn't grasp the strength properly. The potatoes he peeled were only a little bigger than the potatoes Ning Chen peeled before, but the latter ones began to get better gradually. Su Wen's movements of peeling potatoes became more and more proficient, and his movements were also very fast. Naturally, it was impossible for Ning Chen to stand aside and do nothing. If he couldn't peel potatoes, he could still wash them.

Pass the washed potatoes to Su Banxi, and watch the white potatoes form into slices, shreds, or chunks under Su Banxi's hands. Heat the pan and put oil in it to make it all in one go. First, add shredded green peppers and stir-fry until they are half-cooked Add potato slices at a time, stir-fry with minced garlic, coarse salt and soy sauce for a few turns. When you see that the potato slices are cooked, you can take them out of the pan and put them on a plate.

The next step is to pour out an appropriate amount of flour and mix it with cold water to make a batter. Put the potato shreds that have been cut into shreds in a bowl and pour the batter on top. Use chopsticks to turn it over several times so that all the potato shreds are covered with the batter. The mushy shredded potatoes were made into balls and put into the hot oil pan one by one. The hot oil splattered a lot on the back of Su Banxi's hand. She didn't care, she saw the shredded potatoes were almost fried One by one, drain the oil with a strainer, put them on a plate, and sprinkle with the chili powder she made earlier.

Ning Chen and Su Wen brought a series of delicacies made of potatoes to the table, and they could smell the aroma from a long distance away. Before Su Banxi served the food, the people over there couldn't wait to pick up their chopsticks and start cooking. Enjoy it, while Su Banxi is still cooking the last dish in the kitchen.

Peel the garlic and cut it into pieces, put the peeled and washed potatoes into the pot, add water and cook them on high heat, then make the boiled potatoes into mashed potatoes, add appropriate amount of coarse salt and pepper, mix well, say Su Banxi accidentally discovered that this pepper was sold by a small vendor, so she bought it all, and she didn't need it all. She put the mashed potatoes mixed with coarse salt and pepper on the plate, and heated it with a hot pot. The hot lard fry the minced garlic and pour it on the mashed potatoes. This garlic mashed potatoes is complete.

"Xiaoxi, don't be too busy, come out to eat soon, today is a busy day." Outside the kitchen, Mrs. Zhao shouted loudly, the voice was full of joy, and there were two children's voices, big and small, Su Banxi also replied and hurried out with this plate of garlic mashed potatoes.

This meal made everyone burp, except for the overcooked potato chips, almost everything else was cleaned up. After eating for a while, everyone who was full was not idle. Those who washed the dishes washed the dishes. Those who cleaned the kitchen cleaned the kitchen, and took back the lotus, lotus leaves, white daisies and isatid roots that were almost sun-dried to the house. Seeing that there was nothing to be busy with, Ye Wang and his son got up to leave, and Su Banxi did not keep them.

Before leaving, Ye Wang asked Su Banxi and Ning Chen when they were going to leave for Yuning Town. Su Banxi thought about it and said it after two days. Ye Wang didn't continue to ask and smiled and took Ye Sang away. up.

Ye Wang was also the father and son who hadn't left for a long time. Aunt Zhu Zhang and others over there came to the door as if they had made an appointment. The two children, big and small, were sitting in the yard enjoying the cool. When they saw Aunt Zhu Zhu Jian coming Suddenly, the two of them rushed forward at the same time, one of them hugged Aunt Zhu's arm and said with a smile, "Mother, mother, Sister Xizi gave us a lot of delicious food just now! It's more delicious than mother." What you cook is even more delicious, and it's made of that gray stuff." After speaking, she licked the corner of her mouth, as if there were still potato shreds left there, making Aunt Zhu annoyed and nodded. Forehead scolded:

"You stinky child knows how to eat. Did you make trouble at your Uncle Da Lang's house today? Didn't you cause trouble for your Uncle Da Lang?" Most of them stayed at Su's house, and Su Shi's legs and feet were not fully healed, so it must be a headache for these two.

Su Shi quickly said: "Both of them, big and small, are very good. They didn't make trouble or cause trouble, but they have been helping me with work today. Look at the two of them who cleaned up the yard. Help me feed the sheep!"

How could Aunt Zhu not know that Su Shi was saying good things for her two children again, and she explained that she was looking for Su Banxi after she said something troublesome. At this time, Su Banxi was cleaning up with Mrs. Zhao in the kitchen, waiting for her and When Ning Chen came back to the town, he asked old man Liu to bring blue bricks and gray tiles to their house. The potatoes at home seemed to be moved to other places, but they also had to take some with them. The town asked Uncle Jin Zhou and others to try it. While talking with Mrs. Zhao, Aunt Zhu's voice came in.

"Yo, this fragrance is really fragrant, Xizi, what did you guys eat tonight?"

Su Banxi said with a smile in his eyes: "Naturally, those potatoes." In fact, there are many ways to eat potatoes. They can be fried, boiled, stewed, etc., and the taste is very good. There is no need for her to teach, but it is the initial stage It's normal for Aunt Zhu and the others not to know how to eat. Just as they were wondering if anyone would come later, Shan Ming's rough voice rang out, followed by Qiuming's slightly shy voice, mixed with To the cry of a child.

Da Zhuang and Xiao Zhuang were playing with the sheep at first, but when they heard the cry, they immediately gave up on the sheep and ran to Qiuming's side without being afraid of him. The restless little doll let Da Zhuang and Xiao Zhuang take a look, and I don’t know if it’s hungry or what’s wrong. Anyway, the little doll just kept crying, her face was flushed, and it’s better to transfer it to Zhang Dongmei’s hands, but still From time to time, Qiuming slapped once or twice, and Qiuming was also full of helplessness.

"Auntie, why is the little baby crying all the time?" Xiao Zhuang asked with his fingers in his mouth. This little baby looks so small and soft, but why is he crying all the time.

Zhang Dongmei checked the condition of the baby in her arms. She didn't have a fever, she didn't poop or urinate, she just kept crying and couldn't be coaxed, "Qiuming, have you fed the baby yet?" It's impossible to keep crying like this!Children with weak constitutions are prone to cry badly.

Qiuming was also at a loss, "He couldn't eat a lot after feeding him, but he didn't know why he was just crying like this. I've coaxed him before but it didn't help." At first I thought it was because he hadn't brought this little boy before. The child has no experience, but judging from Zhang Dongmei's face, I'm afraid the child seems to have something that he doesn't know!
It just so happened that Su Banxi came out of the kitchen with Aunt Zhu after tidying up. Hearing the sound, Su Banxi was stunned and quickly stepped forward to take the child from Zhang Dongmei's arms. Qiuming suddenly remembered that the youngest daughter of the Su family seemed to be a The doctor was taught by Sun Huai, but the child probably cried like this because he was hungry. He just wanted to tell Su Banxi that he would take the child back first, but he didn't want Su Banxi to take a step back and not let Qiuming touch the child.

Su Banxi's actions aroused everyone's doubts, Zhang looked at Qiuming's expression and asked Su Banxi, "Xizi, what's wrong?"

"Has anyone been in contact with a child before?" This child is obviously suffering from smallpox. Although the symptoms are not very obvious, most people can't see it, but as a doctor, she can tell it at a glance. The child is obviously crying and panting. The heartbeat was abnormally fast, and his forehead and cheeks had light-colored and hard-to-find rashes. Su Banxi was also a little irritable, because there was no way to cure smallpox in ancient or modern times, and once infected Unless the smallpox is injected with the vaccinia vaccine, otherwise, the only way is to wait for death.

What's more, even if she knew that she had to be vaccinated against smallpox, where could she get the vaccinia now?

Adults infected with smallpox will die within forty days, let alone such a small child, the hands holding the child in his arms are tight, Su Banxi's eyes are dim, and when Ning Chen is about to come over, he drinks him away. Su Banxi had no choice but to say: "The child is sick, suffering from smallpox!"

At first, Qiuming thought that the child was just a minor illness, but he didn't want it to be smallpox, which killed people. He shook his body and stared at Su Banxi with wide eyes: "This is impossible, Xiao Ba was obviously fine before, how could he be infected with smallpox?" What!" Xiao Ba is the youngest of the eight children, and the children above Xiao Ba love Xiao Ba very much, if they know that Xiao Ba has smallpox, the shock will definitely not be less than him.

"It's true that he was infected with smallpox, and his symptoms are relatively mild, so you can't tell that he just thought the child was hungry or what happened, but I'm a doctor, and I can still know even the slightest symptoms. There are light-colored rashes on the forehead and cheeks, which will turn into pimples after two or three days. I don’t know if you had smallpox when you were young. In short, if you have had smallpox when you were young, if you have had close contact with children If you haven’t had smallpox, please don’t get in too much contact with your family.” This is why she stopped Ning Chen suddenly, she didn’t know if Ning Chen had smallpox when she was a child, what if she didn’t? Not to make him sick again.

Zhang Dongmei was the one who hugged the children, but Mrs. Zhang knew that Zhang Dongmei had smallpox when she was a child, so she was fine. Aunt Zhu also hugged her two children quickly. Xiao Zhuang also suffered from smallpox when he was very young, because at that time Aunt Zhu didn't care too much about it, but she infected Da Zhuang unexpectedly. The two children were indeed quite dangerous during that time. Fortunately, both of them had smallpox. Otherwise, Aunt Zhu would have cried out if they were so close to the children just now. up.

Qiuming hesitated for a long time, and finally Shanming stood up and said, "Qiuming has never had smallpox. As for the children in his family who have been in contact with Xiaoba, I don't know." Qiuming and Shanming always looked at each other when they met. The other party was not pleasing to the eye, but the two of them did not have hatred for killing their father or taking away their wives. Shan Ming was still quite worried about Qiuming. After all, his physical fitness was really not that good. With no parents, there are only children who are backed by Qiuming.

Mrs. Zhao also suddenly recalled that Su Banxi had never had smallpox when she was a child, and her eyes instantly looked complicatedly at the child in her arms who had gradually stopped crying because of her gentle touch, her hands were trembling slightly.

Smallpox is a terrible word. In the past years, most of the children or adults who had smallpox in the village passed away without getting over it. Her Xiao Xizai never had smallpox even though she was a doctor. Being in such close contact with children, As a result, Mrs. Zhao couldn't imagine it anymore.

Qiuming gritted his teeth and watched as Xiao Ba was about to go forward and bring him back. No matter what, he picked him up. Even if he had smallpox, he would take him back and take good care of him. He knew very well that the smallpox patients in the village could be treated. , Most of them died because of being isolated, one infected two, two infected four, and such a small child couldn't survive at all. If others knew about it, he would definitely bury the child alive.

"Brother, Chenchen stop him." People who have never had smallpox can only die if they touch children like this. Looking at Qiuming who was being held by Ning Chen, Su Wen and Shan Mingla, Su Banxi sighed and said, "Brother Qiuming, calm down." Come on down and let me finish what I have to say. I am not the kind of person who is so ruthless to attack children. Although I can't think of a way to cure smallpox for a while, I will find a way. If you believe me, I will Put the children with me first, and then bring your children over to my master tomorrow morning to see if any are infected with smallpox, and if there are any, send them to me to take care of them."

As soon as these words came out, Qiuming, who was about to break free, was stunned for a moment. He looked at Su Banxi with red eyes, and then at Xiaoba who was no longer crying in his arms. He was silent for a long time before nodding, biting Lip petals said thank you, and now everyone had no desire to stay and talk, and they all took their leave and left.

Except for Su Banxi and Ning Chen, the rest of the Zhao family, Su Shi and Su Wen, are all people who have had smallpox, so Su Banxi is not afraid that smallpox will infect them again, so she first put Xiao Ba in Zhao's arms, wrinkled Frowning at Ning Chen, he said, "If you haven't found a cure for smallpox yet, you should stay away from me and the child. Don't be disobedient!" After speaking, she told Su Wen that she wanted some hot water for the child to wash. Taking a bath, Su Wen nodded and went to the kitchen to boil water, and pulled Ning Chen over by the way.

"Mother, didn't you tell me last time that a ewe had just given birth and had plenty of milk, right? You can squeeze some for me and boil a lot of almonds left in my room, and put them in when the goat milk is boiled. Click it to get rid of the mutton smell, and then I will trouble you to send it to my room." After speaking, he carried the child into the room, Qiuming was still worried, to see whether Su Banxi's room still dared not go in directly, Su Shi looked at it from the sidelines and felt quite uncomfortable, "Qiuming go in and have a look!" Then he took the lead into Su Banxi's room.

In fact, after all, it was not okay for a father like him to enter the daughter's room like this, but it was better than letting Qiuming in alone. With him, at least outsiders would not spread any nasty rumors after they knew about it.

Su Banxi didn't say anything when she saw Qiuming and Su Shi come in. Her mind kept turning the books on traditional Chinese medicine that she had read before, but they didn't gain much. Xiao Ba kept her eyes open when she stopped crying. The mouth with two small white teeth looked at Su Banxi cheerfully, spitting bubbles from time to time, and it was because of this that Qiuming, who was standing aside, saw the light red mark on Xiao Ba's face.

He has never had smallpox, although he heard about it, but he didn't pay too much attention to it, so he ignored the problem, so that he didn't pay much attention when he saw the light red mark on Xiaoba's face for the first time, Fortunately, he took Xiaoba with him when he went out today, otherwise...

"There is nothing serious about the child at the moment, but I can't guarantee too much about what will happen in two or three days. During this time, brother Qiuming, you don't have to worry too much. You can go back and take care of the group of children in your family first. Put it here with me, and when he is completely healed, it won't be too late for you to take him back!" Xiao Ba had heard Qiuming shout just now.

Xiaoba is really a lovely name, and the person is also quite cute!
Thinking about it, he stretched out his fingers and gently poked Xiao Ba's cheeks. The flushed cheeks were soft and very pleasant to the touch. I don't know what Qiuming fed him, so the flesh on his cheeks sank when touched. It made Su Shi a little helpless to look at the child who seemed to be addicted to playing, but Xiao Ba also grinned cheerfully without any appearance of crying, which made Qiuming's heart a little relieved.

Thinking of the remaining seven children in the family, his eyes softened, "Then please, Xizi, take care of Xiao Ba, and just tell me what you need, I just want Xiao Ba to be safe and sound." Before Su Banxi could speak, he turned around and left, but Su Shi who was beside him could see clearly that the reason why Qiuming left so quickly was because he didn't want Su Banxi and Su Shi to see the impending tears in his eyes. The tears that fell.

Looking at the soft smile on Su Banxi's face, it seemed that he didn't take this appalling smallpox seriously at all, so Su Shi couldn't say anything stuck in his throat, "Father, if you have anything to say, just say it." !" Su Banxi said as if seeing the hesitation in Su Shi's heart, but she continued to tease the child, making the soft little laughter sound.

"Xiaoxi, you are really sure to cure this smallpox, and this smallpox is not a joke. You are the only one in our family who has never had smallpox. You can easily get infected like this." Su Shi's tone was a little exasperated, When facing Qiuming just now, he couldn't speak out, now only Su Banxi, him, and the child on the kang were left, so he vomited out the anxiety in his heart.

Su Banxi hugged Xiao Ba in his arms and said with a smile: "I will always find a way!" Su Shi was speechless after just seven words. Rou Rou teased the child with a smile. The technique of holding the child is not proficient, but it will not make the child feel uncomfortable and cause suffocation. Su Shi raised his hand and rubbed his temples. When he wanted to say something else, the fire was already over. Su Wen, who was in hot water, brought in a basin filled with hot water.

Ning Chen was blocked by Mrs. Zhao and refused to let her in. She tried her best to persuade her, "Xiao Chen, listen to your aunt's advice and go wash up before going to bed! You don't want to go in. What if you get smallpox?"

Tunjiawan said it was not big, but it was not small. Everyone in the village knew who had smallpox when they were young, and she had never heard anyone mention whether Ning Chen had smallpox, so she still Insurance not letting him in.

Standing outside the door, Ning Chen clenched her fists, lowered her head and listened to what Zhao said, and suddenly blurted out, "Auntie, just let me in. In fact, I also had smallpox when I was young, so I'm not afraid of contagion." He almost bit off his own tongue as soon as the words came out. This is obviously a lie, but if he wants to leave Su Banxi alone with the child, he can't be at ease. He has seen Zhao's reaction just now. Xixi has never had smallpox, so it doesn't matter if he goes in.

Mrs. Zhao was stunned for a moment and then said: "Nonsense, you have never had smallpox, how can auntie not know, Xiaochen, auntie knows that you are worried about Xiaoxi, and also afraid that Xiaoxi will be infected with smallpox because of this, but auntie also has it in her heart." I'm worried, but you've seen Xiaoxi change the decision she made, since she told you not to approach her, she must have her own ideas, so don't make things difficult for Xiaoxi!"

The two children are so concerned about each other, she is actually very happy in her heart, but now she can't laugh at all, the stubborn temper of the two children makes her a headache, not to mention that she just squeezed The goat milk that came down was still boiling on the stove, she thought that she came out of the kitchen without taking the almonds, and just in time saw Ning Chen was about to enter Su Banxi's room, so she stopped him loudly.

Su Banxi could hear it clearly in the room, feeling moved and helpless in her heart, she had no choice but to say: "Chenchen, you are tired all day today, go and rest, Xiaoba and I will be fine, if you come in, if you get infected If you have smallpox, don’t I have to take care of you and Xiaoba, I will be too busy, if you don’t want me to be tired and sleep well, then you can come in!”

Ning Chen nunu lips are still reluctant to let Su Banxi take care of him and Xiaoba because he is tired and can't sleep well, so he can only look back at Su Banxi's room three times, making Zhao twitch his mouth, and suddenly smell a very strong smell of mutton He slapped his head, "It's broken, the goat's milk is still on fire, Dalang, don't stand around in the room, hurry up and bring me the almonds, the goat's milk is boiled, I'll go and see!"

Su Banxi first took a refreshing bath for Xiao Ba, dried him and wrapped him in a small quilt, then Mrs. Zhao came over with the goat's milk that smelled like milk. Seeing Su Banxi wrapping the child like this, she immediately put the goat milk bowl on the On the cabinet, I couldn't help but go forward to untie the quilt and put on the clothes for Xiao Ba while saying to Su Banxi: "If you wrap the child like this, he will be very uncomfortable. You have to wrap him like this. I remember you brothers and sisters." The old clothes I wore when I was two children are still there, I will go to look through them later and find them for Xiaoba to change."

After Mrs. Zhao dressed Xiao Ba and wrapped it up, she put it in Su Banxi's arms, blinked her eyes and said, "Xiao Xi, why don't I take Xiao Ba to my and your father's room to take care of it, anyway, I and I Your father has been born with smallpox, so he is not afraid of the infection." She was still worried that Su Banxi would be infected with smallpox because of this, and that feeling was extremely uncomfortable.

Su Banxi glanced at the steaming goat's milk and shook her head, "Mother, there's no need, you can go back to the house, I can take care of the child, I know you are worried that I will get smallpox, but I am It's really all right, besides, I know a lot about smallpox, and I can take care of Xiaoba when I'm by my side, don't you guys have to go up the mountain tomorrow to dig the leftover potatoes? Leave me alone, go to sleep now !"

Mrs. Zhao was about to speak out, and she didn't see that Su Banxi was half-compromising. When she was about to get angry, Su Wen, who walked in at some time, called her mother, which extinguished Mrs. Zhao's anger a lot, and she turned her head to look Asked Su, then looked at Su Banxi, who lowered his head and concentrated on feeding Xiaoba goat's milk, finally sighed and left without saying anything.

"Xiao Xi, is the child okay?" Su Wen stepped forward and asked.

Su Banxi just happened to feed the cold goat's milk into Xiaoba's mouth. Seeing Xiaoba's cheerfulness, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "It's nothing right now, but you have to pay more attention in the next few days. During this period, I will trouble you to send the food to my room, and put the bowls, chopsticks and spoons that Xiaoba and I have eaten aside and boil them separately in boiling hot water for disinfection. Don’t mix yours, I know you I have had smallpox before and am not afraid of contagion, but I am still worried about Chenchen, so brother, you have to work harder."

Su Wen shook his head and wrote down Su Banxi's words. There was nothing he could do to help, so he went out and closed the door. Turning around, he saw Ning Chen quietly standing behind him. He almost slapped him in fright. He fell over and said angrily, "Ning Chen, what are you doing? If you don't sleep, you come out to scare people. I said you can't make a sound when you walk!"

Ning Chen silently glanced at Su Banxi's room where the lights were still on, and said in a wrong voice, "What did Xixi say?"

How to say?
What did Xiaoxi say?

Su Wen was confused, then looked at Ning Chen's gloomy eyes, looked away uncomfortably, and said, "What can I say, it's like that, mother almost got angry just now, if I didn't go in in time, I'm afraid mother would make a fuss Woke up, but Xiaoxi is still stubborn and refuses to let her parents take the child, she insists on taking it by herself, but I can understand her thoughts, after all, such a young child has smallpox. Pay attention, my parents are not doctors, although I have taken care of smallpox, but after all, I have not taken care of a child as young as Xiaoba, no wonder Xiaoxi is worried, she also said that you must not leave her too much To avoid getting infected, after all, she is doing it for your own good, so don't mess with her at this stall, I see that she seems to be in a bad mood."

Although she kept smiling, Su Wen could barely feel that Su Banxi's mood was not very good at the moment, perhaps because she couldn't think of any good way to treat Xiao Ba's smallpox for a while, if Ning Chen Su Banxi would really be angry if he rushed in regardless.

Ning Chen lowered his eyelashes and said that when he knew, he turned around and returned to the room leisurely, leaving Su Wen standing alone and looking at Ning Chen's back wondering what he was thinking. To be honest, he thought that Ning Chen Chen really will not listen to Su Banxi's words and rush in, then it's better for him to stop or not.

But obviously Ning Chen didn't give him the chance to choose and just turned around and left.

Su Banxi has no experience in taking care of children. She fell asleep in a daze in the middle of the night when she heard Xiaoba crying. She rubbed her eyes and sat up and lit the kerosene lamp to hug him, but her hands were wet, and the faint smell of urine was pungent. Su Banxi couldn't help being happy, it turned out that he peed his pants, probably because he drank too much goat milk before going to bed, otherwise he wouldn't pee like this, no wonder he cried so hard.

Wipe Xiaoba's red butt with the soft cloth next to him, imitate Zhao Shi, put cloth diapers on him and clumsily put on his little clothes, more than half of the night has passed, and then It will be dawn soon, and Su Banxi didn't go to sleep at all, moved Xiao Ba, who fell asleep after urinating, to a place where she slept warmly before, put on her mountain clothes, got off the kang, took out the medical books that had been turned over several times, and continued to read Got up, trying to find some effective way to treat smallpox.

However, Su Banxi didn't read anything. She kept thinking about the various medical books she had read in this world. She seemed to think of something suddenly. She kept rubbing her chin with her fingers and thinking hard, and suddenly recalled her The instructor once mentioned to her that Emperor Kangxi had smallpox when he was young. At that time, smallpox was prevalent in the Qing Dynasty and threatened the lives of many people. It made people change their faces. Su Banxi couldn't remember what he mentioned at the end. , because the year and month have been long.

What happened in the end, it seems that after Emperor Kangxi succeeded to the throne, the outbreak of smallpox has gradually weakened, and the traditional folk method of vaccination against smallpox has also spread.

Vaccination.

Why do I forget what kind of vaccination method is at this time!
