Chapter 426

The two of them hurriedly put clothes on the child and went to the village doctor's house.

Xiaoman and Chen's mother, who were sleeping next door, were also woken up. They put on their clothes and came out to ask what happened.

Zhong Ruyi hurriedly said that the child had been coughing all night, and followed Chen Dongzhi who was holding the child in front of her.

Now there were two more anxious people. Xiaoman and Chen's mother followed closely behind, and almost forgot to close the gate.

When they arrived at the village doctor's house, Zhong Ruyi went to knock on the door, and slammed it loudly. She had to knock on the door because Miaomiao was coughing and retching, which made people very anxious.

The village doctor was sleeping soundly in the room, but his wife, who was sleeping outside, happened to get up at night and heard the noise. She put on her clothes, stood in the yard and asked loudly, "Who is it?"

"Aunt! Let's go find uncle to treat the disease! My child is coughing so badly!"

The doctor's wife started to grumble: Whose child doesn't get sick in the middle of the night? It's terrible to rush to my house just because of a cough. It really disturbs my sleep!

But every child has a headache or fever sometimes, and her old man depends on this for a living. She has to open the door. If something happens, she can't take the responsibility.

Zhong Ruyi pushed open the door, and Chen Dongzhi, who was following behind her and holding the child, hurried to the small room where the village doctor usually treated patients.

The village doctor had woken up from the noise a long time ago, and was now dressed and sitting in the hut waiting.

Chen Dongzhi put the child who had been coughing non-stop on the crib. The doctor came forward and examined her carefully, pried her mouth open to take a look, and asked Chen Dongzhi to hold the child's hand while he took her pulse.

After a while, the doctor withdrew his hand and asked about the child's symptoms. "Coughing and retching? These symptoms seem like they have eaten some conflicting food. What did you feed the child tonight?"

"He had a bowl of egg custard for dinner and drank goat's milk before bed. It's the same every night." Chen Dongzhi looked at the child's uncomfortable expression and began to wonder if something was wrong. But Miaomiao has been eating these things since she stopped drinking milk, and there has been no problem. Why is it not okay tonight?

Egg custard, goat milk.

The village doctor stroked his beard and said, these are all very good foods for children, so such symptoms should not occur.

"Do you eat egg custard all the time? A few years ago, my great-uncle's little grandson had this symptom. He was about the same age as Miaomiao. His family fed him some eggs, but within half an hour, the child had a rash all over his body. Fortunately, he didn't eat much, otherwise his life would be in danger."

So over the years, my sixth uncle's family has never dared to feed eggs to their grandson because they were scared by this incident.

"I've been eating all the time, but never like tonight." Zhong Ruyi replied after she recovered.

That was strange. The doctor stroked his beard faster, unable to understand the reason.

Chen's mother and Xiaoman, who arrived later, were also puzzled. It was Chen Dongzhi who suddenly remembered that when he was taking a shower, Chen's mother called him from the outer room and said that Miaomiao had eaten the mango on the table.

When he came out, the incident was over and Miaomiao had already been taken into the room to be coaxed to sleep.

Thinking of this, he told Miaomiao about eating a small piece of mango.

Zhong Ruyi then remembered that she was also allergic to mangoes when she was a child, but this problem never occurred again when she grew up.

She felt a little distressed. She didn't expect that her child would inherit her allergy.

After knowing the source, the doctor advised that children should never be allowed to eat these conflicting foods again.

"It may not be a problem for adults, but children are different. If they can't digest many things, it's easy for them to get into trouble. You all know what happened to my sixth uncle's grandson just now. The child is now sixteen or seventeen years old and still doesn't dare to eat eggs. You should pay more attention to him."

He kept chattering as he gave a few injections to the child who was slowly falling asleep on the bed. He told them to watch here and come back to remove the needles after half an hour, as he had to take advantage of this half hour to get some shut-eye.

Zhong Ruyi covered the child with her own coat, fearing that the child would catch a cold after the allergy was gone.

Turning her head, she saw that Chen's mother and Xiaoman were both looking at the little person on the bed with worried expressions. She felt bad and said, "Mom, you and Xiaoman should go back first. Dongzhi and I will take care of him here. Xiaoman has to get up early to go to private school tomorrow. If he doesn't go back and rest now, he will be exhausted."

Chen Dongzhi thought so too. "Ruyi, you should go back too. I'll take care of Miaomiao. I'll take her back when she's fine."

After being persuaded for a while, Chen's mother and her husband went back, but Zhong Ruyi refused to leave. "I can't sleep if I go back, so I might as well stay here with you."

Soon half an hour passed, and before anyone could come to call him, the doctor came over yawning.

After removing the needle, I told them some things they should pay attention to and then let them take the child back home.

As for the medical fee, I'll have to wait until tomorrow. After all, I was in such a hurry just now that I didn't have time to get the money.

The two of them took the child back, but they couldn't sleep. They felt at ease only when they stayed by her bed and watched her.

As soon as she put the child down, Chen's mother knocked on the window and asked about the child's condition through the window.

"It's nothing. The doctor said not to let her eat mangoes in the future. You should go to sleep." Zhong Ruyi said softly.

Seeing that the man had to help Zhao Xiaozheng build a house tomorrow, Zhong Ruyi began to persuade him to go to bed as well, "Don't delay tomorrow's work."

Chen Dongzhi just shook his head and said, "It's okay, I can go there later. I can't sleep now."

For a moment, the two looked at each other in silence and could only lie on their sides and look at the sleeping child.

The next morning, Zhong's mother heard what happened last night and came over in a hurry.

"Why does Miaomiao cough after eating mango? Ruyi used to have this problem when she was a child, but now she's better now that she's grown up." Mother Zhong thought of the time when her little daughter ate a wild mango picked by Father Zhong. As a result, she coughed violently that night and even retched after coughing. It was really scary.

Zhong Ruyi didn't expect that her modern body was allergic. Was it true that her unconscious self was the same?

Fortunately, Miaomiao didn't eat much last night, and she was full of energy when she woke up this morning, without any sign of coughing and choking like she did last night.

Chen's mother, who had been listening to their conversation, was curious, "If you can't eat it when you're young, will it be okay when you grow up?"

How come she remembered what the doctor said last night that Sixth Uncle’s grandson couldn’t eat eggs since he was a child?

"Really?" Zhong Ruyi herself was not sure. She discovered that she was allergic because she ate a piece of cake distributed by the orphanage director. There was a layer of mango on it, and the filling in the middle was also mango. In the second half of the night, she began to feel uncomfortable. Her throat and entire mouth itched uncontrollably, and she kept coughing. It was just a dry cough, but she coughed so hard that she began to feel nauseous and retching.

Her condition was reported to the director by other children, who took her to the clinic to see a doctor, who said it was an allergy.

Since then she has been careful and tries not to eat mangoes.

But when she was in college, a classmate in the dormitory brought back mangoes that he had grown during the summer vacation and enthusiastically invited them to try them.

She refused but decided to take a bite. It was so delicious that she couldn't help but finish the whole thing. However, she didn't have any allergic reaction and she ate it a few more times afterwards and nothing happened.

It seems that this allergy is intermittent and only occurs in childhood.

After this incident, the family pays closer attention to Chen Miaomiao, especially since she is now at a age when she is very curious and likes to try new things.

Mangoes no longer appeared on the table. Although Chen's mother liked to eat them very much, her appetite was not as important as her granddaughter's health.
