Fish oil...
Seeing the fish oil, Xiaoqiao couldn't help but think back to when she was five years old, she got sick, and her grandmother took her to see the doctor.
The doctor said she was malnourished, weak, which not only would affect her growth but also make her susceptible to illness.
Colds and fevers were as common as daily meals.
Her grandmother, feeling distressed, asked the doctor how she could get nutrition.
The doctor probably saw that they were very poor and didn't ask her grandmother to buy meat and fruit every day.
Instead, she was told, if there's money, buy two bottles of fish oil; one bottle can last a long time...
There wasn't enough money at home to buy a bottle of fish oil.
Xiaoqiao remembered that day the most when her grandmother braved a thunderstorm to collect recyclables, exchanging them for a bottle of fish oil and half a pound of pork belly.
Her grandmother was also malnourished, but she couldn't bear to drink a drop of fish oil.
