Chapter 109 Can you grow taller by eating while standing?

"Aunt..." Si Xiaoshun touched his swollen buttocks and was about to complain when he received a warning look from his mother.

Mrs. Zhao smiled and said: "Auntie, I don't know where this child heard that standing up to eat can make you grow taller, but she refuses to sit down to eat."

"Can it still be like this? Really? Si Xiaoshun, have you grown taller?"

Si Qing was immediately interested. She wanted to grow taller. Really, she was really annoyed with how short-handed and short-footed she was now.

Si Xiaoshun:......

He glanced at Zhao with a resentful look.

Mrs. Zhao quickly said: "Don't believe it, auntie, this is a lie. How can anyone grow taller while eating while standing?"

"Okay." Si Qing looked disappointed.

After a while, Mr. He brought tender steamed eggs and placed them in front of Si Qing.

The steamed eggs made for Si Qing were filled with plenty of sesame oil and chopped green onions. As soon as it was served, several children looked at it with eager eyes and almost drooled all over the floor.

But no matter how greedy they are, these children still want to eat the egg custard without any fuss.

Instead, he inhaled the aroma on the dinner table, ate two wild vegetable steamed buns in one go, and drank a large bowl of wild vegetable soup.

Halfway through the meal, Si Jinbai rushed back with Doctor Jin from the neighboring village.

After a lot of trouble, Doctor Jin said that it was cold air entering the body and causing typhoid fever. As for the injuries on the faces of several adults, it was not a big problem and they would just heal.

Doctor Jin wrote a prescription and asked Si Jinbai to take it.

A pair of medicines is not expensive, only about ten cents. The medicine for Liu Changgen's son Goudan is more expensive, costing sixteen cents a set.

Mainly because he was too young and had a high fever. Dr. Jin was afraid of causing problems, so he prescribed more expensive medicines.

Because they suffered from severe cold this time, Doctor Jin told Si Jinbai to take at least fifteen medicines before stopping.

Several families were silent after hearing this.

A dose of medicine costs ten cents. How much does it cost for fifteen doses?

The farmers didn't know how to count, so they couldn't figure out how much it would cost, but they knew it would cost at least a few hundred cents.

"Jinbai, why don't you give me medicine for my wife and children? I won't need it. I'm always in good health."

Liu Changgen had a sad look on his face.

His parents left early and left him with nothing but their own small shabby courtyard.

When he got a wife, he went to work in the town, saved several hundred coins and hired matchmakers, and then he married Mr. Feng. In recent years, taxes have increased, and the family's life has become even more difficult.

Liu Changgen worked in the town from dawn to dusk, but he didn't save much money.

This illness has almost wiped out all of his wealth over the years, and Liu Changgen's heart aches when he thinks about it.

But his son-in-law is seriously ill and it won't work without treatment. As for himself, Liu Changgen feels that he is still young and can just get over it.

Si Jinbai understood his difficulty, sighed and patted his shoulder: "It's okay, you also need to be treated. Don't let the root cause of the disease get to you. I will pay for the medicine first, and you will pay me back when you have it."

"Thank you for your hard work." Liu Changgen felt a little dizzy at the moment. He was listening to Si Jinbai's words in a daze, feeling that his voice came from a very far away place and he couldn't hear clearly.

He just nodded confusedly and went top-heavy into the house to take care of his son. Goudan was running a high fever, so Doctor Jin asked him to rub Goudan with warm water to cool him down.

His wife was taking care of her at the moment, and he was afraid that her daughter-in-law wouldn't be able to bear it anymore, so he went over to take care of her so that she could rest for a while because of the cold.

Compared with Liu Changgen's embarrassment, Liu Damu's family and Si Shanhe's family were slightly better off.

However, the money for medicine for a family of several people was not a small amount, and both Liu Damu's family and Si Shanhe's family were sighing.

"This plagued God, it's almost October, and it's raining heavily. Isn't this intentional to kill people?"
