As soon as Xiang Jin got home, her grandmother said, "Go and wash up quickly. I'll heat the water for you in the pot."
After saying "Thank you, grandma" to Xiang Jin, he immediately threw down the basket on his back and went to fetch water to wash his hair and take a bath.
Looking at the bamboo basket she threw down casually, her grandmother knew that she was simply out of heat.
Xiang Jin has always been a person who likes to tidy up. Whether it is her own house or other things, she always tidies them up in an orderly manner, which is suitable for Baba.
It's not like today. As soon as I came back, I threw the bamboo pole in the courtyard without even taking it back to the house.
She walked down the stairs, walked over and picked up the bamboo basket, then took it back to the house and put it away.
When Xiang Jin came out of the shower after washing her hair, Aunt Liao saw that her face was still blushing, so she went to the room to make a bowl of fermented glutinous rice water for her and came out, "Here, drink this to cool down."
Xiang Jin hesitated, and Aunt Liao thought she was too hot, so she said, "Don't worry, it's mixed with cold boiled water. Once we get very hot, we'll mix it with a bowl of this and drink it. It helps!"
Xiang Jin reached out and took it, then brought it to his lips and took a sip. Not to mention, it was really cool, um, with a slight smell of wine and a little sweet. Xiang Jin brought it to his lips and said it again and again.
Took two sips.
When Aunt Liao saw that she was not repelled, she said with a proud face, "How is it? Is Auntie right?"
Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, it's not bad," and then took two more sips, then asked, "Why does my aunt still have this at home?"
Aunt Liao said, "It was also yesterday that your uncle Liao Kai brought me some. He said that his wife brought some back when she returned to her parents' home two days ago."
Liao Kai is Aunt Liao's brother from her mother's side and one of the bricklayers who built the house for their family.
Xiang Jin smiled and nodded, then took two more sips.
Aunt Liao saw that she was enjoying the drink, so she said, "If you like it, can I get you another bowl?"
Xiang Jin waved her hand, "No, I'm much better now," and then she said jokingly, "Drink a lot of water, and I won't be able to eat anymore."
Aunt Liao laughed and said, "Okay, then just drink this. If you still want to drink then, just ask Auntie, and Auntie will exchange it for you."
"Thank you, Auntie," Xiang Jin drank the rest of the bowl in one breath, and then went into the kitchen to help her grandmother.
Aunt Liao took the bowl from her hand, and then said, "Don't worry about the kitchen. I'll go help your grandma. You'd better blow dry your hair first, otherwise you'll easily get headaches when you get older."
sick."
"Oh, okay!" Xiang Jin was not polite to her, turned around and went back to his house.
When everyone was eating at noon, Xiang Nan suddenly stared at her sister and said, "Sister, what's going on with you? There are a lot of red rashes on your neck and face. Are you bitten by some insect?"
Xiang Jin tilted his head and looked at her, "You said I have a red rash on my face and neck?"
"Yes, there are quite a few of them, one, two, three, four, five... there are seven or eight on your neck, and five or six on your face," the little girl stared at her and counted carefully.
After a moment, he said, "Don't you feel anything at all?"
Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, it's a little bit itchy," but it's unlikely to be bitten by an insect, right?
After everyone heard this, they all looked towards Xiang Jin. After seeing the red marks on Xiang Jin's face and neck, Yan Chen frowned. At the same time, there was a hint of worry between his eyebrows.
.
The same goes for Grandma Mo and Grandpa Zeng. Grandma Mo asked, "Did you get bitten by some insect when you were helping us break the grain?"
If that were the case, they would be too upset.
Seeing their guilty looks, Xiang Jin denied it without thinking, "No, if I had bitten him right then, I should have been aware of it, and the rash would have started a long time ago."
, and I have been itching for a long time, but when I came back to wash my hair and take a shower, I didn’t have any reaction. Even after washing my hair and taking a shower, I didn’t feel any discomfort. From this, it can be seen that it must not have been in the ground.
Bites by insects.”
Grandma Mo and Grandpa Zeng felt a little more at ease.
Xiang Jin's mother was at another table. She quickly put down her bowls and chopsticks and ran over, hugged her head, and began to examine her carefully, "Let me take a look, let me take a look."
But after looking at it for a while, she frowned and asked, "Did you eat something you shouldn't have?"
"What shouldn't be eaten?" Xiang Jin immediately thought about it, then shook his head, "No, I didn't eat anything."
Then Aunt Liao suddenly asked, "Is this girl not allowed to drink alcohol?"
Yang Juyun nodded, "Yes, she is allergic to alcohol and cannot drink alcohol. If she touches it even slightly, she will get red rashes and red bumps on her body. It will take several days to get better."
Aunt Liao then slapped her thigh and said in annoyance, "Oh no, bad food."
"What's wrong? Did she really drink alcohol today?" Yang Juyun asked.
Aunt Liao said, "She didn't eat wine, she just drank glutinous rice. Didn't Liao Kai bring me a can of glutinous rice yesterday? At that time, I saw that the girl was very hot, so I gave her that and cold boiled water.
She mixed a bowl of it to cool her down. Who knew she was allergic to alcohol? If I had known earlier, I would not have given it to her."
Xiang Jin also looked at her mother with a puzzled face, "Am I allergic to alcohol? Why didn't I know?"
Yang Juyun said, "You are allergic to alcohol. It happened twice when you were very young. Once, your sister-in-law bit you and made your arm bleed. Then I used the liquor at home to disinfect you, and then
You had a red rash on your body. I thought you had chickenpox that time and let you hide from the wind at home for two days. However, after waiting for two days, I didn’t see chickenpox on your body. Instead, the red marks were still there.
Dissipating.
This second time is..."
"Wait a minute, you said I was bitten by Xiang Yan when I was a child. How old was I and how old was she at that time?"
Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Xiang Jin.
Yang Juyun said, "You were three or four years old at that time, and she was thirteen or fourteen."
Xiang Jin then asked, "Then why did she bite me?"
"Said you tore up her homework."
"Does that mean I tore up her homework?"
Yang Juyun's face darkened when she mentioned this, "That was caused by your father. He wanted to smoke at that time, but he couldn't find the paper for rolling cigarette leaves, so he just tore up one of her homeworks."
Xiang Jin curled his lips, "So I'm still a scapegoat?"
Yang Juyun continued the previous topic and said, "There was another time when you drank half a bottle of Huoxiang Zhengqi water when you were five or six years old. At that time, you also developed a red rash, so I took you to see a doctor.
The doctor asked you what you had eaten recently. I thought about it carefully and didn't give you anything to eat. Then he said that you had only drank half a bottle of Huoxiang Zhengqi water. Then he asked me if you had done this before.
I said I had experienced the symptoms once, and then I described the previous symptoms to him, and he said you might be allergic to alcohol.
Then I smeared a little more alcohol on your body, and sure enough, after a while, there were some red marks exactly the same as before on and around the areas where you had been smeared.
It was then that I concluded that you were really allergic to alcohol, so since then, you have never touched wine, Huoxiang Zhengqi Water, or anything that smells like alcohol. I thought you would always remember it."
Xiang Jin lied and said, "How could I remember such a small thing?
The reason why I stopped drinking later was because one time I saw Ai Can’s father beating him when he was drunk. That was not beating a person, it was simply beating a cow.
So I don't like drunk people, so naturally I won't touch wine or food with alcohol in it.
I don’t use Huoxiang Zhengqi Water simply because I don’t like the smell.”
Anyway, people in Wan Tou often say that Ai Can's father often beat his mother in those few years, and he would beat his mother whenever he caught her. He would beat her with all his strength every time, just like beating an animal.
So it shouldn’t be a problem for her to say that now, right?
Aunt Liao said, "You kid, since you don't like things with alcohol, why did you drink at that time? You just didn't drink. You think you're allergic now?"
Xiang Jin smiled and said, "I thought it was just a little glutinous rice water. It shouldn't make me drunk, so I drank it. But don't worry, Auntie, it's probably just a slight allergy. It'll be fine. It'll be fine in two days."
That’ll be fine.”
Yan Chen suddenly stood up from his seat, "I'll get you some medicine."
Xiang Jin looked at him and said, "Do you still need to take medicine? It shouldn't be a problem, right? I only have a slight itchiness."
Besides, do you have medicine for alcohol allergy?"
Yan Chen shook his head, "No, just some vitamin C tablets. This can alleviate some of your symptoms."
Xiang Jin said, "No need, it's not serious. I'll be fine in two days."
Yan Chen said, "You should be more careful. Alcohol allergy can be fatal if it is serious. Although it is not serious this time, you still have to develop the habit of paying attention. Don't think that it is not serious every time, so it doesn't matter."
, if it gets really serious one day and you treat it so casually, that would be bad."
Everyone felt that what he said was very reasonable, so everyone advised Xiang Jin to pay more attention and attract attention.
Xiang Jin had no choice but to agree.
Yan Chen went back to get it, then stared at Xiang Jin as he ate it, and then explained, "People like you who are allergic to alcohol should eat a lighter diet afterwards and avoid spicy food, otherwise it may cause serious illness.
"
Xiang Jin just stared at him, "Do you still know these things?"
Yan Chen said, "I read it in a book!"
If she hadn't known that he usually liked reading, she would have really suspected that he was also a time traveler like herself.
Xiang Jin sighed in his heart: Oh, I didn't expect that this body actually has an allergic constitution.
I thought that although she was not a good drinker in her previous life, she was definitely not allergic. She could touch anything white, red, or yellow.
