Chapter 353 Le Zhi's Talent

Jiang Ning's hands didn't stop moving, but suddenly two fluffy little heads appeared beside her.

Seeing that their mother was busy, Lezhi and Nanxing did not disturb her.

Lezhi watched Jiang Ning's hand movements very carefully.

Ten minutes later, Jiang Ning put away the silver needles.

He said to Sister Li, "Sister Li, I'll get you some herbal poultices to wrap your feet. The pain will go away in a day."

Sister-in-law Li nodded repeatedly, "Okay, thank you, Sister Jiang."

Jiang Ning glanced at the Chinese herbs planted in the yard. Since she had to take care of both the hospital and the school, she really didn't have the energy to manage the vegetable garden in the yard.

After finishing the vegetables, she simply stopped growing vegetables and instead planted some common and frequently used herbs in the yard.

However, the herbs grown at home are still limited, so some modifications need to be made to the herbs used for foot compresses.

Jiang Ning took out a pen and paper and wrote down which herbs she needed.

Panax notoginseng, Achyranthes bidentata, Angelica sinensis, Ligusticum chuanxiong, etc.

Sister-in-law Li also watched Jiang Ning write.

Jiang Ning wrote as Li Saozi read aloud.

Sister-in-law Li had never been to school before, but in recent years a college student came to her family, so she has been learning to read and write out of boredom.

“Sanqi, Chuan Niu…” The character “Xi” in Chuan Niu Xi is quite complicated, and Sister Li got stuck halfway through reciting it.

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Sichuan Achyranthes bidentata."

Sister-in-law Li looked like she suddenly understood. "Oh, it's pronounced 'xi' (膝). I'll go back and write it ten times to remember it."

Sister-in-law Li is over forty years old. She didn't have the opportunity to study as a child, and now she feels that her memory is not as good as that of young people.

But she is willing to learn.

There's a college student in the family now, so she can't let her daughter down.

Looking at the characters for "chuanxiong" (川芎), Sister Li asked, "Is this pronounced 'gong'?"

Jiang Ning, "It's Sichuan lovage root."

Sister-in-law Li nodded repeatedly, indicating that she had learned something.

Jiang Ning carefully revised the prescription, but she included all the medicinal herbs she had at home that she could use.

Just as she finished revising the prescription and was about to go to the ground to pick herbs, a chubby little hand covered in mud suddenly reached out.

The chubby boy clutched a handful of bright green herbs. "Mom, these are Panax notoginseng and Achyranthes bidentata."

After placing the herbs on the table, Lezhi walked straight towards the field where Sichuan lovage was planted.

She plucked a Sichuan lovage plant, then ran over to Jiang Ning on her short legs.

"Mom, Sichuan lovage."

Jiang Ning stared blankly as her daughter found the corresponding herb without a trace of doubt.

After a while, Jiang Ning looked at her daughter with a look of surprise and delight.

"Lezhi, do you recognize these herbs?"

Lezhi looked bewildered, but she still tilted her head back and said, "When I saw Mom planting this, she told Dad its name. When Brother Zhiqi was studying, Mom also told him about it."

Jiang Ning thought for a moment. Before, when she had cleared all the vegetables in the house and planted these herbs, Shen Mo would help her weed and dig holes.

To avoid being bored, she would chat with Shen Mo about the names and effects of the herbs.

When she and Shen Mo were planting these herbs, the children were there to supervise.

Later, when the herbs had grown well, she would sometimes talk to Zhiqi about basic herbal knowledge when she had free time.

However, Zhiqi was very serious about his studies, but he had no interest in herbs.

I just can't seem to get into studying.

After that, Jiang Ning stopped forcing Zhiqi to study.

She will encourage her child's studies, but she will not force him to study.

Let the children learn whatever they like and whatever they are willing to learn.

Jiang Ning's eyes lit up, and she pointed to the Sichuan lovage in Le Zhi's hand, "Zhi Zhi, do you know its effects?"

Lezhi tilted her little head and thought for a while. After a long time, her childish voice rang out, "Relieve... pain, improve blood circulation."

After saying a somewhat convoluted sentence, she concluded, "Mom, you said you can use it when your body aches."

After listening for a while, Sister-in-law Li understood what was going on, and she looked at Lezhi with surprise.

"Jiang Meizi, your daughter is so smart! She actually recognizes these herbs!"

Jiang Ning said, "The child has been influenced by what he sees and hears at home."

Lezhi is indeed talented at recognizing herbs, and the fact that she can remember these herbs at such a young age shows that she is interested.

But being interested is one thing; whether you will study it seriously is another.

Jiang Ning decided to teach Lezhi more about Chinese herbal medicine. If the child could learn it, it would prove that she had a talent for medicine.

But the child is still too young to tell whether it's just a passing fancy or a genuine talent.

After crushing several herbs, Jiang Ning applied them directly to Sister Li's legs.

After her leg was treated, Sister Li got up and moved around a bit.

Feeling that her leg wasn't hurting as badly as before, she smiled and said, "Jiang Meizi, your medical skills are truly amazing."

After praising him, he took his leave.

Before leaving, she took out some money from her pocket, which Jiang Ning quickly refused.

"We don't do that kind of thing with our neighbors."

Li's sister-in-law just felt embarrassed; Jiang Ning could refuse, but she couldn't leave without making a gesture.

In dealing with people, one should not take advantage of a good relationship.

Otherwise, the relationship will become distant.

When Sister-in-law Li saw that Jiang Ning wouldn't accept the money, she went back to her own yard and picked a lot of vegetables she had grown herself to give to Jiang Ning.

When Shen Mo returned from training that day, Jiang Ning told him about Le Zhi's ability to identify medicinal herbs.

Shen Mo was surprised to hear this.

He smiled and hugged his wife, saying, "My wife is a doctor with exceptional talent, so our child will naturally inherit your talent and might even become a genius in the medical field in the future."

Jiang Ning was completely infatuated with Shen Mo.

Which parent doesn't want their child to succeed?

Even the couple themselves naturally hope that their child can forge their own path.

After that, Jiang Ning would teach Le Zhi about herbs whenever she had a spare moment.

She had some illustrated medical books in her hand, and she gave them to Lezhi so that he could look at the pictures.

If she sees a picture that interests her, she will proactively ask Jiang Ning about the herbs.

However, we only have a limited supply of herbs at home, and some of the herbs listed in medical books are not available in our household.

Finally, Jiang Ning thought of a place.

Although we don't have that many medicinal herbs at home, the hospital does.

In the Chinese medicine pharmacy of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department, Dean Kong spent a lot of effort finding almost all the medicines except for some rare and precious ones.
