Chapter 248: Hardships Don’t Break Up

Taotao held the little bear in his gauze-wrapped hands, caressing the little bear's round head and limbs of varying lengths.

"Thank you, sister."

"You're welcome. I'm glad you like them." Ning Xiyue stroked his furry head and said, "Sister will make them kittens next time. Let them stay with Taotao forever. As long as Taotao doesn't abandon them, they can stay with Taotao forever."

Taotao looked at them carefully and nodded firmly: "Yes, Taotao will not give up on them. Let them stay with Taotao forever."

The little bear seemed to have opened Taotao's heart, making him much more lively and talkative than before, so much so that Comrade Li and Taotao's parents couldn't believe it was real.

Ning Xiyue also successfully touched Taotao's hands and legs.

He also got Taotao's consent and let her take a look at it.

Ning Xiyue spoke to Taotao soothingly while examining him.

"Sister will help you. Let Taotao get better soon. When he gets better, he can come and play with sister. Sister will take you fishing and take you to play with your brother..."

This diverted Taotao's attention, allowing her to investigate the condition of Taotao's hands and feet without any hindrance.

The bones are not broken, and the doctors in the hospital have already straightened them for him. The only problems left are blocked meridians and some ruptured tendons in his hands and feet.

She came to the conclusion that it can be cured. The whole set of acupuncture techniques that suddenly dawned on her mind included methods for unblocking blood vessels and promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, which could be effective for Taotao's current condition. If combined with the use of the Bone-setting and Tendon-renewing Powder, it would be cured without a doubt.

Moreover, children are growing every day, and their bones have not yet taken shape, so it is only a matter of time before they recover.

Judging from Taotao's condition, if acupuncture is given once every five days, he will be fully recovered in two months.

The three adults looked at Ning Xiyue expectantly and nervously, trying to see some result from her face, but her expression did not change and they could not tell what was going on.

Mayor Huang saw Ning Xiyue stop and asked tentatively, "How is it?"

“You can try.”

Ning Xiyue gave an ambiguous answer. She had now learned the doctors' tricks: nothing is so absolute. The more absolute something is, the less people will believe it. One has to leave room for doubt.

"Thank you so much, Comrade Xiyue. I have to thank you no matter what. Taotao has changed so much today. His mother and I are very grateful. Thank you."

Mayor Huang held Ning Xiyue's hand and thanked her excitedly, while Sister Li bowed with a smile on her face.

"You don't have to be like that. Taotao and I are destined to be together. I will do my best."

Whether for the sake of Comrade Li, the mayor, or her fate with Taotao, she will do her best to treat him.

The little turtle stood on Ning Xiyue's shoulder and said, "Host, why do I feel that you think more of Taotao's family background (Mayor Huang)."

"What nonsense are you talking about? It's half and half. When I wanted to help Taotao, I didn't know he was the mayor's child. Look, I made the medicine before that. I didn't even know Taotao's father at that time."

"Isn't it because you want to exchange the medicine for money from the troops?"

“…”

Cough, cough, a mouthful of old blood got stuck in her throat.

"Tongzi, don't tear down people when they are in trouble."

She just wanted to gain some benefits for herself. These days are so difficult and she has to make a living. It is not shameful to ask for money, connections, and protection.

The emperor is far away and the town mayor is the biggest local emperor here. If she has a good relationship with the town mayor, she will be able to walk like a crab in Yongchuan Commune in the future, which will bring her great benefits.

"Okay host, I understand."

Tongzi saluted and then lay obediently on his shoulder without saying anything.

Ning Xiyue took out a set of silver needles and looked at Taotao's parents, mainly looking at Mayor Huang for advice: "I'll start now."

Sister Li looked at Mayor Huang, but Mayor Huang did not answer immediately. He was very cautious about matters concerning children. He did not know Ning Xiyue's medical skills, so he was naturally worried, but he believed in his friends.

So I looked at Comrade Li again to confirm, and felt relieved only after getting his firm nod.

Ning Xiyue suddenly felt that not having a medical qualification certificate was a hassle. If she had a certificate, she could take it out when encountering such a situation. With the certificate, she would be more persuasive. Unfortunately, the physician qualification examination was not promulgated and implemented until 1998.

The certificate of the military medical adviser cannot be taken out casually.

She would have to ask the team leader why the barefoot doctor's certificate had not been issued yet. She would then ask Comrade Li about the situation later, perhaps he knew the situation.

Although it is similar to a work badge, it is at least a certificate that can prove her identity, and it is also a symbol and recognition of professionalism.

While Ning Xiyue was thinking, the mayor confirmed with Comrade Li and discussed it with his wife, then looked at Ning Xiyue and solemnly agreed: "Okay, let's get started. Is there anything you need us to do? Can we stay?"

Ning Xiyue opened the silver needle bag and looked at the three adults present:

"You can stay. You don't need to do anything big, but you must keep quiet and don't let anyone disturb you. Just watch quietly and don't make any noise."

"I'll leave it to you."

Mayor Huang nodded, holding Comrade Li with one hand and his wife with the other, and stepped back to the door, watching Taotao and Ning Xiyue's actions from a distance.

Ning Xiyue: There’s no need to retreat so far.

Ning Xiyue was too lazy to care about them and didn't have the energy to do so.

He concentrated on holding the silver needle and following the steps he had learned in his mind. Based on the feel he had gained from practicing with the drug-testing robot during this period, he focused his mind and applied the needle slowly and steadily.

This thing is not like other things. It involves human life and we cannot be careless about it.
