Chapter 119: Busy raising a family in a foreign land 119
Wei Miao signaled Lu Pingsheng to step back, and the only thing revealed in his eyes was that they were as bright and calm as ever, with no discernible difference.
She said to Lu Pingsheng who was standing at the door:
"Brother Lu, what you think is what I think, but we can't both take risks at the same time. Now find someone to get a batch of syringes in. The more the better."
Whether it was cholera or dysentery, Wei Miao thought it was a gastrointestinal problem.
The cause of the problem is the invasion of bacteria into the intestines. In this case, wouldn’t it be enough to kill the bacteria?
In the laboratory on the second floor of Lu Pingsheng's home, she has been cultivating penicillin continuously.
In theory, both diseases can be quickly treated with drugs such as penicillin.
If penicillin doesn't work, sulfa drugs are also possible.
During this time, she carefully studied the clinical trial data that Lu Pingsheng gave her.
The medicine that Lu Pingsheng said could make her the richest person is indeed amazing. This highly effective, low-toxic element is almost a suit of armor tailor-made for the human body.
After hearing this, Lu Pingsheng seemed to think of the penicillin on the second floor.
Yes, how could he forget that penicillin is the ancestor of antibiotics, and common bacterial infectious diseases are nothing but younger brothers in front of it.
"Ah Miao, then can sulfamethoxazole also..."
Wei Miao nodded, but compared with penicillin, sulfonamide had too great a side effect. She couldn't give it to Wei Ling and Wei Ran unless it was absolutely necessary.
As if he knew what she was thinking, Lu Pingsheng did not continue the topic but asked:
"Do you need anything else besides this?"
Wei Miao thought for a moment and said, "I want as many Chinese herbs as I can get, such as montmorillonite, coptis root, costusroot, evodia rutaecarpa, and white peony root."
Lu Pingsheng nodded and pointed to a large bowl of water on the ground:
"This is electrolyte water made by mixing three spoons of sugar and one spoon of salt with boiled water. Give it to Lingmei to drink."
After seeing Wei Miao nod, he added:
"Your father has already fed Brother Ran."
After Wei Miao nodded, he looked up and said to Lu Pingsheng seriously: "Brother Lu, thank you very much."
Lu Pingsheng could have stayed out of this matter, but he followed him into the house without hesitation.
For this kind of infectious disease, contact with the pathogen means there is a 50% chance of being infected.
Wei Miao understood those obscure principles, but he did not agree with them.
In her world, I will be nice to whoever is nice to me, and I will be happy with whoever makes me happy.
Lu Pingsheng looked at the little boy's clear and clean eyes which were full of trust and sincerity. Faced with such sincere gratitude, his nose felt slightly sore.
When he turned around and left, he felt that although this world was cruel, there was still a glimmer of hope everywhere.
The alley was sealed off and every household stayed indoors. Only the sound of humming tunes could be heard from the upstairs of the barber shop.
Occasionally, there could be heard Mrs. Dong's cries of pain and Master Dong's scolding.
In the past, there would still be people who would come out and shout a few words, but now everyone is in danger, so no one has the time to care about this.
Lu Pingsheng thought about Wei Miao's instructions and called Dr. Ding.
"Mr. Lu, the alleyway where I live has also been sealed off. Based on my experience, it should be infected with cholera." Dr. Ding said in a very tired tone.
The question that Lu Pingsheng was worried about was answered in the affirmative, and he finally felt relieved.
"How is Huihui?" Lu Pingsheng thought about Dr. Ding's smart and lively daughter, and felt a little worried.
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone. Just when Lu Pingsheng thought he would not get an answer, Dr. Ding said dully:
"It's more bad than good."
Lu Pingsheng didn't have time to think about it. "Doctor Ding, do you have any sulfa? That can also treat cholera."
"what?"
Doctor Ding was short of breath and said sulfa could treat cholera.
He studied medicine and quickly figured out the key.
"Mr. Lu, I can't chat with you anymore, I..."
Lu Pingsheng listened to Dr. Ding's anxious words and said quickly:
"Doctor Ding, don't panic. Listen to me. Sixty grams of sugar, thirty grams of salt, add one thousand milliliters of boiled water, stir, and give it to Huihui to drink every day."
This is the easiest way to make electrolyte water that Lu Pingsheng knows. Vomiting and diarrhea are the easiest causes of dehydration, and severe dehydration can be fatal.
So you need to replenish water.
"Mr. Ding, Ah Miao's uncle is also in your alley. If you, if you have time, can you go and see her family's situation? If you have extra sulfa, give some to her family. Ah Miao and I will never forget your kindness."
"Mr. Lu, I know, thank you, thank you, Mr. Lu..." Dr. Ding said and quickly hung up the phone.
Lu Pingsheng listened to the busy tone on the phone and smiled bitterly.
Then continue to dial...
Wei Miao looked at Wei Ling who fell into a deep sleep after drinking the water, then he carried her vomit out of the room.
Xu Ayu was wearing a mask and looking around in the yard with her small belly.
"Mom, don't come over." Wei Miao stopped Xu Ayu from coming over.
Xu Ayu's face was filled with sorrow. "Ah Miao, it's all because of your useless mother. I let a half-grown child like you work so hard."
"Mom, did Adong, Laba and Range sleep together last night?"
Xu Ayu shook his head and said, "Aran and A Ling felt unwell after returning from school yesterday. Your father was afraid that they might get sick, so he didn't let the kids have any contact with them."
The key point is that Wei Ada didn’t sleep all night in order to take care of the two little ones.
Wei Miao breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Xu Ayu was pregnant, so Wei Ada took care of the two children alone.
She is pregnant and has the weakest immunity. If she is not careful...
Thinking of this, Wei Miao said to Wei Li and Wei Ping who were also wearing masks and looking at her under the eaves:
"You two should stay in your rooms today like Adong and Laba, and don't run around."
Wei Li nodded obediently, and Wei Ping was puzzled, "I want to take care of Sister Ling together with Da Guo."
Xu Ayu said sternly: "Listen to what Big Brother Nong says, otherwise you will vomit out everything you eat just like Sister Ling..."
When Wei Ping heard this, she immediately covered her mouth with her hands, but found that she was wearing a mask. Her eyes rolled around and she nodded rapidly.
Wei Miao was amused by the little kid and laughed out loud, "Be good and listen to me, and I'll take you out to eat in a restaurant when the time comes."
When Wei Ping heard this, she nodded hurriedly, "Big Pot, Pingmei is obedient and listens to Big Pot the most."
Seeing her two daughters making a fuss, Xu Ayu felt less anxious.
After Ah Da was shot in self-defense, the eldest daughter has become the pillar of the family.
As for making money, she and Wei Ada are not afraid of hard work. They prepare braised meat until the early morning, sleep for a few hours and then get up to sell or deliver it.
What I’m afraid of is having no way out, no way to make a living.
But the eldest daughter is their livelihood. Mr. Lu, whom they know, provides a living for their family. Brother Cai is also polite to them, and that inspector also supports their family in a big way.
All this was something Xu Ayu had never dared to imagine in his dreams.
"Mom, you have to be obedient and stay in your room. Dad and I will take care of Ran Ge and A Ling. In two or three days, they will become troublemakers that give you headaches again."
Xu Ayu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Was she being treated like a little girl like this?
"Ah Ma knows the situation is serious. Ah Ala is in the kitchen and will cook for you."
Wei Miao wanted to say no.
But Xu Ayu was very persistent. She stubbornly believed that only by eating and drinking well could one be healthier.
