Chapter 194: Special Treatment for Acclimatization

"It's my mother's fault. She didn't even notice that Xiaobao had chilblains. It's my mother's fault." Su Qingyu hugged Xiaobao and coaxed him, walking around with him in her arms, and started to cry.

While Xiaobao was crying, he stretched out his little hands to touch her face, held her head, and cried with her.

Crying and complaining about itchiness.

This made Su Qingyu feel very distressed.

Su Qingnao had never had chilblains before, and she had never had chilblains in Fengting Town. The climate in Fengting Town is warm, and Xiaobao didn't suffer from chilblains last year.

She herself didn't know what frostbite looked like, so she didn't pay attention to Xiaobao.

This year Xiaobao followed her to Renzhou and to the mountains.

The mountains were always humid. Ever since she asked Siyuan Siyuan to take the mountain spring water in the yard, Xiaobao loved playing in the water in the yard. With Lu and Ruyi watching him, and being in her own home, she didn't pay much attention to him. .

Unexpectedly, Xiaobao would develop frostbite in just a few days.

Not only had the child endured many hardships along the way with her, she was living in the mountains for the first time. She was not accustomed to the soil and climate, and she didn't even notice.

"It's my mother's fault. Xiaobao won't cry..."

Su Qingyu patted and coaxed him, crying.

Xiaobao gradually calmed down under her comfort and stopped crying loudly. But the tears still didn't stop, and I just sobbed quietly. Lying softly on her shoulder.

Mother Lu and her daughter came in quickly. Holding a bowl of roasted hot ginger slices.

"Miss, there is no ointment now, let's try the local method first. Rub this hot ginger slice to relieve the itching."

Su Qingyu nodded. Holding Xiaobao in his arms, he held his Xiaobao to Lu and Ruyi.

"Auntie and aunt, please wipe Xiaobao's face. Just wipe it and it'll be fine." Su Qingyu coaxed him.

Lu said with distress while wiping: "It's all my fault. I didn't even notice Xiaobao's condition. Xiaobao has never lived in the mountains. He can't adapt to the climate in the mountains. It's all my fault."

Mr. Lu shed tears as he spoke.

The child, who is usually lively and well-behaved, rarely cries. It's so tiny, so uncomfortable, and I'm still crying because of the painful itching of frostbite.

Mrs. Lu usually loves Xiaobao very much, but now she saw that he had no energy at all and was lying in Su Qingyu's arms, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.

Ruyi also felt extremely uncomfortable. Her mother was usually busy with housework, and she took care of Xiaobao. She didn't even notice that Xiaobao had frostbite.

"Miss, I'm sorry. It's my fault that I didn't notice Xiaobao's condition."

Su Qingyu shook her head: "It's okay. Everyone is too busy during this period, and we have all neglected him. I sleep with him every day and I don't notice that he is uncomfortable. It's my fault as a mother."

Seeing Mrs. Lu's mother and daughter wiping Xiaobao's little hands and feet, she didn't know whether this traditional method was effective, so she asked: "Is this ginger slice useful?"

Mr. Lu nodded: "When people in our village have chilblains, they always use local methods to relieve the itching. Roasted hot ginger slices, radish, or garlic can relieve the itching. Like Xiaobao, it's still in the early stages. It should have some effect. But it’s cold in the mountains, and I don’t know if Xiaobao can adapt to it. It’s better for Siyuan and the others to go out and buy some chilblain cream.”

Su Qingyu nodded.

I sent Siyuan and the others out to buy quilts two days ago, so they didn't notice the frostbite. It seems that when they come back, they will have to go out again. I also have to buy some commonly used medicines to prepare.

If there is a heavy snowfall in winter and the mountains are closed, there is a possibility, which is not a joke.

After wiping for a while, Mother Lu and her daughter also wiped Xiaobao's face and ears.

Gradually Xiaobao stopped crying. It seems to have some effect.

The roasted ginger slices seem to be somewhat effective in relieving itchiness, but I don't know how long the effect will be. It seems that if you want to cure it, you need to replace chilblain ointment from your system.

"Is Xiaobao still itchy?"

"It doesn't itch anymore."

Su Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that he was no longer itchy. Lu and Ruyi also breathed a sigh of relief. This time they failed in their duty. Such a cute and sensible child, but they neglected him.

It will definitely not be possible in the future.

Su Qingyu held Xiaobao in her arms and saw that he was no longer crying, so she said to the Lu family and her daughter: "I still have some cloth here given by the governor's wife. You two can take the time to help Xiaobao sew some thicker winter clothes. Look. It’s hard for Xiaobao to adapt to the climate in this mountain.”

The mother and daughter nodded: "Okay. Miss, please give it to us now. We will start doing it now."

"Okay. Then you go pick out the cloth yourself. We also made winter coats for the three of us. We also made them for Siyuan Siyuan. This is the first time for everyone to live in this big mountain, and we don't know how cold it will be in winter. ”

"yes."

When going to bed at night, Su Qingyu coaxed Xiaobao for a long time and told him fairy tales for a long time. Seeing that he was sleeping deeply, she checked him carefully, replaced chilblain ointment from the system, and gave it to his little hands and feet. The ears were carefully painted.

Watching the child's breathing become more and more steady. Su Qingyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Touching Xiaobao's tender little face and watching his little chest rise and fall rhythmically, her heart felt full. After staring at the child for a long time, he lay down next to him and fell asleep.

The next day, the village leader Zhong and some village residents came over after learning that Xiaobao had frostbite.

He pulled Xiaobao and screamed, feeling sorry for him suffering hardships in the mountains with adults at such a young age.

"This is the first time this child has lived in this mountain. It is bound to be unaccustomed to the soil and environment. I will boil some village soil and boil it into water and feed it to him."

The leader of Zhongzhai felt heartbroken when he saw Xiaobao, who was usually smart and lively, now looking quiet and wilted.

However, his words frightened Su Qingmei.

"Drink the village soil boiled water?"

Zhaizhu Zhong and several villagers nodded: "Yes, yes. In our mountains, there are some folk remedies to treat water and soil incompatibility. Find some local soil, add water and boil it, and it will be fine."

Su Qingmei was angry for a while. Turning around, she saw that Lu was also eager to find village soil, and she didn't know how to refuse.

Fortunately, an aunt said: "It's better not to drink it carelessly. Children's stomachs are not as good as adults. What if they get sick from drinking? In our mountains, even to invite a doctor, you have to climb several mountains. I'm afraid it will be bad by then."

"Yes, yes. It's better for children not to drink it carelessly."

Su Qingmei breathed a sigh of relief.

Several aunts said that they should keep the children warm. It's because of cold and dampness that they get frostbite. They all shared their experience with Su Qingmei and Lu's mother and daughter.

"The clothes should be made thicker. Make face-covering hats and earmuffs for children. Children's ears are the softest and can freeze off when it's cold..."

"You don't have a brazier yet? Find a carpenter in the village to make some. It's cold in the mountains in winter, wet and cold. Clothes can't dry even after ten days or half a month of washing and drying. They are dried on the brazier."

These words made Lu very anxious and she wanted to go out and make arrangements immediately.
