Chapter 242 243 Smallpox

   Mrs. Liu held a tray with the freshly simmered tonic soup on it, and smiled: "Madam, the chicken soup that the ginseng brought me by the old man made me stew, I skimmed the grease and brought it to you."

  Li Yu took the soup and scooped it with a spoon. It was just right if it was neither cold nor hot, but the taste of the food in this month was really not flattering, so Li Yu simply picked up the bowl and drank it.

   At this moment, the child started to cry loudly. Li Yu picked up the child distressedly and coaxed him for a while, but there was no sign of the child stopping at all, and his voice became louder.

   Zhou Jia also panicked: "What's wrong? Why do you keep crying?"

Mrs. Liu hesitated for a while and said, "Madam, sir, the child will cry when he is hungry, but we don't seem to be looking for a nurse in our house."

   Li Yu said: "I plan to feed myself, so I didn't ask for a nurse, Xiaoxi, do you want to ask Mr. to take medicine?"

"Okay, I'll go ask." Zhou Jia mentioned the matter of inviting a nanny a few months ago. Li Yu said it righteously even if he didn't agree. Zhou Jia felt that what Li Yu said also made some sense, so she left it to her. .

   After a while, Zhou Jia came back with a blushing face, and waved her hand to let Madam Liu go out.

   After a while, the child finally lay in his mother's arms and ate the first breast milk. Zhou Jia smiled softly when he saw his son's anxious look.

  On the third day of washing, Zhou Jia only invited Tu Dianshi, Yu's family, and Zhong's family, meaning it was over.

   In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve. After Zhou Jia paid tribute to his grandfather and mother, he went to the study, spread out the paper and began to draw family portraits.

Two hours later, Zhou Jia showed the family portrait in front of Li Yu and smiled: "Yu'er, starting from this year, I will draw a family portrait every New Year's Eve, and when my son grows up to our age, we will know him when we see the family portrait. From such a small doll to such a big one every year."

Li Yu looked at the woman in the painting who was standing in front of the flowers with her child in her arms and smiling happily, and Zhou Jia, who was also standing beside her with a happy face, looked at Zhou Jia and said softly, "Xiao Xi, Thank you."

Zhou Jiajuan was ready to paint, sat beside Li Yu, hugged her shoulders, lowered her head to her forehead and said, "It's me who should say thank you, Yu'er, thank you!" The couple put their heads against each other and smiled at each other. .

On the day of the child's full moon, the couple didn't plan to handle the full moon ceremony. They were afraid that those merchants would come to give gifts, so they invited Tu Dianshi and called the Ruyi family back from the village. Everyone sat down to celebrate, even if it was done. It's full moon wine.

After the    year, Zhou Jia started to get busy, Mr. Qian was busy buying credit loans to those poor families, seeds, farm tools and cattle. Zhou Jia and Tu Dianshi took the fish scale book and were busy dividing the land for the people who reclaimed the wasteland. The relocated families had to re-register their household registration. It took them a month and traveled to several towns to settle those people.

  In a blink of an eye, when the family was busy in the spring of March, Yang Weinian took Uncle Dashui to Da'ao Village to open up wasteland, and Ruyi took over the management of things in Zhuangzi.

After the child is three months old, he can play with Li Yu for a while every day. Zhou Jia looks at his plump son, and laughs whenever he is teased. Every day when he comes back from office, he will watch it after washing his hands. Son, father and son babbled non-stop.

Mr. Wen also likes Yangyang. Every day when he comes back from the free clinic, he has to take him to see the herbs and explain the uses of various herbs. Li Yu thinks that the older the child, I am afraid that he will be able to know a lot of herbs. He also knows Medicinal properties and uses of various herbs.

   Zhou Jia and Li Yu received the emperor's award again. The emperor gave a box of antique calligraphy and paintings, and a box of gold and silver. The queen gave Li Yu two sets of heads, a box of the same size Dongzhu, and several pieces of silk brocade. The emperor ordered Zhou Jia to produce as many kinds of corn as possible, and someone would come to pull the corn seeds after the autumn harvest.

  When the millet seeds were soaked, Li Yu took Yangyang to Zhuangzishang. The people who settled the grain seeds with Li Yu last year came. Li Yu kept his promise and exchanged the grain seeds to those people.

  Yang Wei came back from Dayao Village and reported to Li Yuqi: "Madam, more than 200 mu of land and 100 mu of mountainous area have been opened, and the rest of the land will have to wait for busy farming before starting work."

  Li Yu looked at Yang Wei's black and thin appearance, and said with pity: "You child, you are black and thin, it's just when you are growing, why don't you hire more people?"

  Yang Wei scratched his head and said with a smile: "Madam, don't worry, I am strong! There are less than twenty families in Da'ao Village, and I have hired all of them who can work."

   "Okay! You go to rest first and then go back to Da'ao Village early in the morning." Yang Wei responded and withdrew.

Ruyi's seven jins are already nine months old, and drooling at Yang Yang in the cradle, he poked Yang Yang's chubby cheeks with his fat fingers and snickered when he succeeded. .

   Two children, you wow, I wow, and others can't understand the child's words, Yangyang yawns after a while, closes his eyes and ignores Qijin.

  Qijin burst into tears when he saw that Yangyang didn't play with him anymore. Li Yu picked up Qijin and coaxed: "My brother needs to sleep, sleep more, and grow faster. When my brother grows up, I will go to school with Qijin." Qijin nodded and stopped crying.

   Zhou Jia became more and more busy when planting rice, and often went to the countryside to go around the fields, especially those who had just opened up wasteland and cultivated land. Zhou Jia often took people from the village to guide them.

Li Yu returned to the county government office from Zhuangzi, and Mr. Wen came back from the free clinic. He did not approach the mother and son, but stood in the yard watching from a distance, and said with a heavy face: "Xiaoyu, today I have seen a child, It was confirmed that the child had smallpox. The child lives at the end of Dongjie Street. I have asked Tu Dianshi to take someone to deal with it. Don’t take Yangyang outside these days, and the children of Ruyi’s family will also be brought back to the county from Zhuangzi. Ya come to live, and Yu Niang, you can also send someone to say hello."

   "Smallpox" Li Yu screamed, thinking that this is a deadly virus in this world, Li Yu nodded and immediately sent someone to notify Xiaoyu and Yuniang.

  Mr. Wen said to Li Yu: "Yes, everyone should be careful, especially the children. I will go back and look through the medical books to find useful prescriptions."

   "Okay, be careful too, don't be too tired." Mr. Wen waved his hand, pointed to the robe on his body and said, "The clothes on my body also have to be changed and burned."

  Li Yu nodded, went into the room with the sleeping Yangyang on the bed, sat on the edge of the bed and looked at his red face, recalling the situation when he was vaccinated when he was a child.

  Although most people in later generations know that cowpox was taken from cows that had suffered from smallpox, the question is, how was it taken out? Will the effect be the same as future vaccines? How toxic is it?
