Liquid of love

By linda swaniganPublished 3 years ago • 3 min read

To a friend's house to visit, just entered the door, encountered such a scene: friends are breaking son's eyes, with the tip of the tongue licking son's eyes. I was very surprised and quickly asked what was going on. The friend stopped, moved the spittoon next to his foot, and spat a mouthful of slime into his stomach.

After listening to my friends, I realized that, on the eve of the college entrance examination, her son was unfortunately infected by his classmates and got a serious pink eye, saw several doctors, and did not get better for two weeks, she was anxious, and asked about it in many ways, and then got such an earthwork - pink eye can be treated with saliva, because the man told her that saliva can be disinfected.

The college entrance examination is around the corner, so she cleans her son's eyes with saliva every day. At first, she was not adapted to it, because, in the face of the yellow sticky substance in the corner of her son's eyes, coupled with her son's sour tears, she felt unable to "speak". However, every time she saw her son's red eyes and pained expression, all concerns were dispelled by love. Therefore, three times a day to wash the child's eyes with her tongue has become a thing she is never tired of. Later, her son's eye disease did improve, and soon recovered, but because of close contact with her son, she also suffered from serious pink eye, went to the hospital for several weeks to get a drip to recover.

Almost the same thing happened to my husband. But it wasn't pink eye, it was a sore throat.

This summer, my husband's work organized a trip. My husband and some colleagues went to Tibet. When I went, my husband was still hale and hearty, but when he came back, he became pale and thin. As soon as I heard the news, I knew that the continuous altitude sickness made him vomit badly, and he could not eat, and soon his throat was on fire and his throat was swollen and sore. It lasted until a few days after I got back.

One morning, the mother-in-law in the countryside suddenly called to hear her son's weak breath and hoarse voice, and quickly asked what was going on. When she learned that her son's throat was swollen and sore, she quickly said that she would come to the city to see. When my husband and I heard this, we panicked. Because her mother-in-law is old, it is nearly 50 kilometers from the countryside to the city, and her mother-in-law has the problem of car sickness. After our repeated dissuasion, she agreed, because my husband and I also told her that we would go back to see her this weekend.

It was at that hot noon that the doorbell rang, pushed the door and saw that it was her mother-in-law. She is holding a bundle of green "grass", full of ditches with a smile on the face, beans large beads of sweat rolling down, is dripping on the "grass" in her arms. Later, listening to my husband said I knew that it was the bamboo leaves of the husband's garden in the countryside, using it to boil tea can remove the fire, especially for sore throat is very effective, the husband often tonsil inflammation when he was a child, so at that time, the mother-in-law always ran to the bamboo forest in the back garden to break a few branches of green bamboo leaves, boiled into "green tea" to take it, and recovered soon.

That day, my mother-in-law didn't even bother to wash her face, and she made bamboo leaf tea for her son and my husband in our kitchen. Looking at her mother-in-law busy figure in the kitchen, at that moment, as a daughter-in-law, I felt that I was useless, or not filial, because I did not take good care of her son. However, the bamboo green tea was really delicious that day! May be mother-in-law's sweat fell on the bamboo leaves, I have always thought so, because, I am afraid that is a mother in addition to milk, the most sweet jade liquid AGAR!

Later, the husband's illness soon recovered, but the mother-in-law's few drops of bean sweat still beat in my memories, I firmly believe that the sweat and friends' saliva, should be the world's most valuable medicine, because they can "cure" all diseases.

(Once the beautiful fleeting years are missed, once the priceless affection is lost, let you be rich, you can not buy back a mountain of father's love!)
