In the past, I don’t know when, when passing my house, the Chay River was split in two. The other half is straight, meek and smooth, creating an alluvial side, this side is curved, curvaceous, hooked to the mainland, forming a landslide. In the middle of the murky stream is Bai Giua, serenely rocky, serenely sandy, at that time, it was paradise, the residence of many storks, dadas, and shrimps. The beginning of the beach is rapids. The rock outstretched its chest to protect the gentle waist, carrying on its back trees, sands, crabs and mussels. From time to time, every time the hydroelectric power plant closes all three machines for repair, the river will dry up, only close to the protrusions, slippery mosses and boulders covered with shells and shells. mussels. At that time, we, the buffalo children, the butterfly children, the mothers, the sisters, the young teachers, the boarding students of the high school, often used to rush to call each other when the water was dry. pounce on. Daughters are baskets, pot people, eager to trick shrimp, catch crabs, scratch mussels. The son ignores the squealing, clattering, flapping wings of his parents, searching for eggs. Nature is so clever for the animals to camouflage and protect themselves. Bird eggs are the color of reed, while shrimp and crabs live in the waterholes, each child wears the same color of the rock. But it’s nothing! Just by looking deeply into the hollows of trees, bushes, crouching, looking closely at the clear water, you can see through the nests of eggs, the vibrating beards, the mechanical claws. Eggs are in the pocket. Shrimp then put the mouth of the basket into the flooded rock cavity, spread their hands in the shape of a bow, and slowly closed. The fan-shaped tails appeared, receded, receded, and then “Smashed” the whole shrimp body to snap into the mouth of the basket. One lift! In the basket, there are some three or four squishy shrimp! Catching crabs is not difficult, just gently put the small stones lying on top of each other in the heart of the pool to the side, waiting for the sand to settle down to see the bulging eyes. Trick your fingers into the two shells, grab them, and then raise all eight legs and two claws out of the water. Those shrimp and crabs put them in pots, break a few branches and leaves to cover them so that they don’t jump out, at night they will be red on the frugal tray of rice in each house, floating on the bowl of sweet jute vegetable soup, or soon after, it will be yellow, bare, and fall off on the coals of fire, in the bamboo tongs, blackening our young lips. Those eggs, put in a fresh bamboo tube with one end, add a little river water, set up next to the fire. Xo Xo… that’s it! The food of young buffaloes is often delicious and makes people remember for a long time! The sand spreads, hugs the body of the beach, stretches to the back and sinks under the pool. That place, I don’t know if it’s a bomb crater, but even though it has been deposited for a long time, even though the river has dried up, it is still deep and green. My children, being reminded by their mothers, watch out for anyone who dares to come close! Under those sand dunes, we caught mussels. The mussel catcher is a basket and a pot. Children carry small pots, big ones carry big pots. I, although tiny, always carry a large Soviet pot with me (once, when the factory flushed, because I was trying to keep the pot from drifting, I was almost swept into the hole) . Lazy mussels refuse to enter the cave to live, they live right under the sand. Well, old mussels, cavalier mussels, grandmother mussels, grandson mussels, and mussels are all equally lazy, so, just after a swipe of a hand in the sand, a series of belly-swallows will be exposed. If you like, pick up the water and pick it up, so you will get many big mussels! If you don’t like it, treat it, treat it, both big and small! Treating mussels is also simple: grab a basket of sand, bring it to a deep water, swirl it, shake it a few times, the sand will pass through the basket, leaving only the mussels, and put them in the pot. Done! Because it’s so easy to catch, all of us are greedy and like it. But if you like it, you’ll love it, if you like it, you’ll catch it, too much, too heavy, who can bring it back! But if you bring it back, then get someone to sell it, and when you sell it, no one will buy it! Therefore, there are times when we catch and release, release and catch again tomorrow, as a hobby of poor children. Saying not many people buy it is because every house can have a kid to catch! But if you have to buy it (although it’s very cheap, now it’s only from 8 to 10 thousand VND per kilogram, but the price in the past I don’t remember), then buying mussels back must be treated, cooked, smart, but not smart. It’s time to pick up and pick up, hunchback to get a bowl of soup, a bowl of porridge, then eat another dish quickly, to have time to rest, and still work tomorrow! Talking about making mussels, cooking mussels! The house is right next to the beach, and the big sisters often follow me, so whenever the water dries up, I go to catch mussels. Parents are busy, they can do it themselves! Under the guidance of my mother, after a few times of bewildered, while treating and pouring a few pots of mussels, my sisters and I became masters of mussel processing, indeed! Hey, baby mussels are thin-mouthed, easy to break, and easily scratched, so every time you go to catch them, you need to bring a big basket to treat big mussels. Once you’re done, you should wash the mussels right in the river so you don’t have to go home to draw water. Rub it hard, like washing peanuts. Thoroughly rub many times to make the mussel shells clean and shiny, then the pot of boiling water will be clear and fresh! Wash mussels, put in a large pot, pour water like cooking rice (as high as a knuckle), bring to a boil. When the pot of mussels starts to foam, put in a pinch of granulated salt, use chopsticks to stir vigorously and quickly with high heat. When mussels are hot, open their mouth, meet salt, add high heat, stir vigorously, meat will shrink, leave the shell and fall to the bottom of the pot. If you forget to slow down at this moment, you will have to sit down and pick up each mussel, your back will be tired! The splintering only takes a few minutes. Lower the pot, put a small strainer on the mouth of another pot, pour in the mussels. Water will trickle down. Decant this water to get really clear water, if you cook porridge, put it in a pressure cooker, drop the cleaned rice (remember to add a pinch of sticky rice to make it fragrant), boil until smoldering and then let it smolder for fifteen minutes, then turn off the heat. If cooking soup, just boil some tomatoes, pour in mussels, wait for it to boil, add the prepared mussels (only for the mussels at this moment, if you add them from the beginning, the soup will be elegant), add onions smell, eat hot is done. The mussels are rubbed, squeezed hard to remove all the meat from the shell, and then don’t like a gravel. The mussel meat is lighter than the shell, floats, collects in a corner, picks it up, and puts it in a small bowl. Rub the mussel meat to break the intestines with a sieve, wash, squeeze out the water, fry the onions, add the mussel intestines, season with a little fish sauce, pepper, and a little herbs, flip the edges, that’s the mussel filling. Wait for the pressure in the pot to run out, drop in the mussels and herbs (fresh onions, Chinese herbs, finely chopped coriander) in, season with some spices, scoop into the bowl, add a few slices of bamboo shoots and chili, sprinkle hot pepper on top. .. I once told someone I love about mussel porridge. I once taught him to cook mussel porridge. There was also a time when I sent a picture of a bowl of cooked mussel porridge to my very dear uncle. Every time, the aftertaste of mussel porridge remains on the lips and in the eyes. Away from my hometown, I no longer go catching mussels like the old days. Every time I come back, I can’t help but look at Bai Giua, seeing that Bai Giua is only a small area after the flood discharge, the trees are blooming, I see that the old sand has been exploited almost by people, and I look at the river trying to make up for it. Can’t hold back the tears…

Last year, Le Thuy flooded, the water was immense, fish, shrimp, and alluvium also followed the water and stayed in the fields. After the flood, the land is fertile, most of the crops grown down are green. I remember when I went back to my hometown after Tet, I went to the market to buy a bunch of big, young green cabbage that was delicious to the eyes, but had 2,000 VND. Buying 10,000 cucumbers, the old lady selling melons filled a basket. I said : – Your teeth give a lot? She laughs: -Like I sold it, one day she sold nearly 1 basket but got 6,000.. The immense rice fields in the countryside this year also have a good harvest, a yellow color stretching to the foot of the distant mountain. The rice heads bowed heavily, covering the whole road separating the fields. The wind about the rice waves keeps undulating, it feels like standing in front of the sea but the waves are peaceful and golden. In my hometown, many houses still keep the new custom of offering rice. Every season of ripe rice, people reap the first field, after threshing (previously using human power or cattle to pedal, later with a continuous harvester, only packed grain rice was brought back). let the rice dry in the sun. Select the field with good rice varieties, then threshing and drying separately. When the rice is dried (in the sun and dry enough for long-term storage), it is milled, pounded, gradually, sieved (later milled by machine), giving white rice grains. Use that rice to wash with clear stone well water and then blow the rice with a wood stove. You have to be careful with the fire so that the top rice grains are white and fragrant, and the bottom is just scorched yellow. Choose a young hen to start jumping (the new hens begin to lay the first eggs), at this time there have been a few thunderstorms at the beginning of the season, when it rains, the termites fly out, the villagers are used to thunderstorms. When I see termites flying out, I know that after 5 to 10 minutes, it will stop raining. The termites flew out, met the wet rain, swooped down to the ground, lost their wings and ran away like small round meatballs. Chickens eat that termite, the meat is fragrant and golden. A new tray of rice is placed to worship heaven and earth, the gods, the ancestors only have a large plate of white new rice mixed with pieces of yellow burnt rice, on top of which is left over a fertile yellow boiled hen and a A plate of crushed roasted seeds with chili peppers accompanied by 1 lemon cut in half. The owner lights 3 incense sticks to pray to Heaven, Earth, Gods, and Ancestors to come back to eat a new meal, to bless and protect the whole family for a year of peace, a bountiful and prosperous next season. Looking at the new tray of rice, though simple but full of herbs, farmers still tell each other that when making new rice, people must be clean and clean in their thoughts, and the mind must be good to cook a full fragrant, boiled meal. The hen is brightly colored and neatly shaped. Old farmers looking at the tray of rice can know the happiness of the house, know if the next year’s crop is better or worse. With the new tray of rice used for offerings, the elderly eat first, then the people who work in the fields have the most merit, then divide it among the children and divide it equally among all members of the family. have his share. Fresh and fragrant rice, sweet and fatty chicken pieces, roasted salt seeds pounded with hot, spicy chili peppers, crispy golden pieces call back a whole heaven of memories of the new rice seasons that have passed in life. In the new meal, family members remind about the lost family members, those who are far away from home… So many people keep holding a bowl of rice and remember to eat. My family also grows rice, so since I was young, I always eat new rice. Eat from when you know how to eat, from the time when your grandparents are still there until your grandparents return to the crane world in turn. Every new rice season, I try to arrange to bring my baby home. Show me the ripe rice season, let me know my hometown. My father sometimes asked his grandchildren to burn incense on the ancestral altar during the new meal, without a word of instruction, the children just followed, but now everyone knows how to light incense sticks straight, not letting the incense fall go out. The children always know how old their great-grandparents died, who went away in the family, who died… I remember that every year when we offer new rice, we share our chicken meat with our children. Ma said: – Ma doesn’t like chicken, I hate eating chicken… The chicken was delicious, but there was little, so the kids were very happy, and saved for a bigger piece compared to each other. Later, when I grew up, I knew how to give a little bit of delicious fat to my children. My health is not good, or I am sick. Every time the plating hurts, the kids often cook chicken porridge for the plating. Ma only eats porridge with water. Chicken doesn’t really like to eat now because it’s old now, has weak teeth, and hates eating chicken because it has teeth. I just wish, if there is no disease, I will take my children home. In the middle of the field, stop and fill your chest with the new scent of rice. And come back to eat new rice. New rice for me now is also eating, remembering… eating love…

We all know that Chengdu is the No. 1 city in the new first-tier. It is the “Fourth City” in China with infinite charm and many characteristics described by Mr. Zhu Ziqing. It has a comfortable and pleasant climate, a lazy atmosphere of life, and rich and colorful tourism resources. The “Gourmet City” is a “net celebrity city” full of memories and longings, and the most important stop on the travel list of countless people. Although the scenes in the film are full of life in the 70s and 80s of the last century, it is difficult for us to believe that this is Chengdu, but it makes people feel ordinary and real, just like the stories that happened around us, which can be seen in Chengdu. The atmosphere of the market was fully demonstrated by the director.

“Grandma Wang is selling tea, three Guanyin come to eat tea; three horses in the back garden, two children beat each other.” This is the old Chengdu nursery rhyme that my sister sings with gestures in the film safely. As one of the most prestigious and characteristic cultures in Chengdu, it is very necessary to come to Chengdu to experience the locals’ favorite tea drinking! Go to the Heming Tea House in People’s Park, order a pot of tea, and enjoy the warm sunshine in the afternoon, read books, read newspapers, and set your sights on the front door. You can experience the breath of life in old Chengdu. An afternoon has passed so leisurely and leisurely. It makes people feel a little bit reluctant, just want to stay in these years. The Daci Temple, which is separated by a wall from Taikoo Li, is also a good place to enjoy tea and meditation, and feel the true meaning of “the city of leisure”. Sitting in the once largest Buddhist temple in the middle of Sichuan, smelling the fragrance of tea, and enjoying the tranquility of the most bustling city in Chengdu, the kind of leisure and fun is indescribable.

Remember the movie poster that the younger brother hid behind the older sister? The background is the mandarin duck building, an internet celebrity check-in place in Jinjiang District, Chengdu. It used to be the faculty and staff dormitory of Sichuan University. It was built by the school for the faculty and staff of married families. It was named because it lived in a couple. After the baptism of time, now there are only old people and migrant workers who live here. “Zigzag”-shaped stairs, shabby corridor furnishings, messy clothes line… Does it look like scenes in many classic Hong Kong movies at first glance? However, it is also a pleasant surprise to have such a place outside of the bustling city. Nowadays, it is an out-and-out “net celebrity attraction”. Many people come here to take pictures and check in to explore the story here.

“Walk with me on the streets of Chengdu until all the lights are off and don’t stay here…” In Chengdu, every street and lane is full of the flavor of old Sichuan, which makes people linger and not to be missed. The wide and narrow alleys in the morning light echoed with the moving songs of old Sichuan, and the depths of Jinli under the bright lights reflected the old Shu days of Jincheng. There is also the bustling Chunxi Road where beautiful women gather. If you don’t go shopping in Chengdu, it will be a great regret in life. There are so many attractions in Chengdu that people can remember, so many people can’t count them. For example, the red wall of Wuhou Temple, the green bamboo and flower path of Du Fu’s Thatched Cottage, the Taoism of Qingyang Palace, the heavy history of the Jinsha Site, the majesty of Dujiangyan, the classical mystery of Qingcheng Mountain and so on. Of course, there are also the famous Sichuan delicacies and the cute baby pandas, which must not be missed.

Then tears can no longer drain down the nose as usual and will cause live tearing symptoms, irritating or causing chronic eye infections.

The pupil is a tubular system, with a special structure that begins with a scale in the inner corner of the eyelid and ends at the lower nasal slit.

Due to the anatomical feature of the tubular system, the most common pathology in the tears is obstruction. When there is an obstruction, tears are not drained down the nose, so it will flow out. Therefore, the most common symptom is watery eyes. If the obstruction process lasts for a long time, then the tear can build up in the tear duct, which can cause an infection in the tear duct. Religious practice can cause inflammation, pain …, if left for a long time, it will lead to complications in the eye.

Anyone can get sick

Pathology that causes morbidity can be found in all ages, from infants to teenagers, and the elderly. Babies after birth (especially premature babies) can also have a blocked religion, called congenital obstruction. The principle is usually caused by the process of forming the vagina in the fetus is incomplete, so the lower end of the nasal tear duct remains the obstructive membrane. Most of these cases go away on their own as they get older.

The cases of obstruction are often caused by trauma to the eye, sinuses or after surgery in the jaw sinus. Chronic eye infections such as trachoma, conjunctivitis can cause tears narrowed. Religious practice is more common in women than in men.

Image of rule of law.

Common complications

When there is an obstruction, especially an obstruction of the nasal tear duct, it can cause chronic cholecystitis. Patients often have watery eyes, accompanied by purulent discharge. The corner area in the eye can be lighter and tighter. Pressing into this area has pus oozing at the corner of the eye. If left untreated, chronic inflammation can progress to acute inflammation, causing a tear abscess, even leakage, drainage of pus. The patient often aches a lot, the corner in the eye is swollen and red.

The methods of rule of law

Many cases of congenital obstruction will improve on their own within a few months after birth when the baby’s tear drainage system is more complete or when the nasal tear duct opens. In some cases, the ophthalmologist will show you how to press the edge of your baby’s nose to dislodge the membrane.

Most cases of obstruction after a facial injury will not require supportive treatment because the tear drainage system usually takes several months to start working on its own. Therefore, the ophthalmologist will likely suggest the patient wait several months before considering surgery.

In children where the blockage does not improve on its own, or in cases of adults with semi-morbid obstruction, the doctor will intervene with a traditional method. An instrument will be used to dilate the ratio before inserting the catheter into the tear duct through this scale. The stick will be threaded down to the nose and withdrawn. After that, the religion will be pumped with normal saline to flush away the stuffy stagnant substances.

For cases where the vagina is blocked due to inflammation or scar tissue, the doctor will use a small tube thread inserted into the canal down to the nasal tear duct, inflating the balloon at the tip of the tube to expand into a narrow space. , then blow off the ball. This method requires general anesthesia.

Another method, which also requires general anesthesia, is called intubation. The doctor will insert a small piece of the tube into the tear duct through 1 or both of the tear points in the inner corner of the eye, then insert it completely down the nose and remain there for 3 – 4 months. The tip of the tube at the rate is knotted to keep the wire from falling off. This constriction will not cause discomfort.

Surgery is often the option of progressive obstruction. This method is also quite effective for young children with congenital morbidity. However, it is applied after the above methods have failed.

Nasal tear bags are often used to treat most cases of obstruction. The doctor will create a junction between the tear bag and the nose. Therefore, tears will no longer flow down the nasal tear duct, where the obstruction, as before, but flows straight into the nose with a new route. To stabilize the connection, the doctor will put the tube in and save the tube for 3 – 4 months before taking it out.

To prevent postoperative infection, nasal vasoconstrictors and eye drops will be needed. After 3-6 months, the tube placed inside is removed.

If the obstruction is caused by a compression of the tumor, surgery to remove the tumor or other methods to reduce the size of the tumor will be performed to address the cause.
