Lin Jin has transmigrated. She has traveled to the 1970s and is now a girl with the same name.
As the sole inheritor of a traditional Chinese medicine family and having studied Western medici...
Finally, class ended. There were no evening classes tonight. Lin Jin pushed her bicycle towards the school gate when someone called out to her. She turned around and saw Jin Yuanyuan. Curious, she stopped and asked, "Yuanyuan, what's wrong?" Jin Yuanyuan quickly walked up to her, her face showing urgency. "My grandma is sick, and it's quite serious. I heard you're a very good doctor, and I'd like you to come and see her." Lin Jin quickly asked, "You didn't come this morning because your grandma is sick?" Jin Yuanyuan nodded, her eyes red. Then she added, "Let's go! I'll take you. Show me the way."
"Okay!" Jin Yuanyuan, like a light bird, quickly and nimbly jumped onto the back seat of Lin Jin's bicycle.
The wheels started turning, and Lin Jin pedaled hard, the bike slowly moving forward. Lin Jin asked with a puzzled look:
"Yuanyuan, who told you I have medical skills? I never said I had medical skills!"
Jin Yuanyuan seemed to have expected this, and she quickly explained, "Our two families don't live far apart, and you're quite famous in that area! Everyone knows you have excellent medical skills, how could I not know?"
Lin Jin's doubts hadn't completely dissipated after hearing Jin Yuanyuan's words. She couldn't help but ask, "It's not far! How come I haven't seen you here before?"
Jin Yuanyuan continued, "I rarely go out. Since after the New Year, my grandma hasn't been feeling well. Whenever I have a holiday, I'm usually at home or accompanying her to the hospital. But even after visiting several hospitals, her condition keeps recurring! I've wanted to ask you to come and see my grandma for a while now. But I was afraid of interfering with your studies, so it wasn't until today, when my grandma's condition worsened, that I finally mustered the courage to come to you." As she finished speaking, Jin Yuanyuan tightened her grip on Lin Jin's clothes.
Lin Jin replied, "We're classmates. Helping your grandma with her medical treatment is no trouble at all, and it won't take up much time! You don't need to feel guilty. Besides, I'm a doctor, and this is my duty!" Jin Yuanyuan simply said, "Whether it's your duty or not, I just know that you're willing to help my grandma with her medical treatment, and I should thank you!"
The two rode their bicycles to the alley where Jin Yuanyuan lived, only a few hundred meters from Yuehe Alley where Lin Jin lived! This area was also full of courtyard houses, but this one was much larger, as you could tell from the gate! The gate was open, and the two went straight in. Several women inside greeted Jin Yuanyuan, and she responded to each one.
Jin Yuanyuan led Lin Jin to the two rooms where she and her grandmother lived, and then explained, "These are all the residents of this courtyard, and they're all very nice!" Lin Jin nodded to indicate that she understood.
As soon as Lin Jin entered the room, she saw an elderly woman lying on the bed with a pale face, but her eyes were fixed on the doorway. When she saw Jin Yuanyuan bring in a little girl, she tried to sit up, but couldn't manage it no matter how hard she tried!
Seeing this, Jin Yuanyuan quickly walked to the bedside and said, "Grandma, don't move! This is my classmate! She's very skilled in medicine! She came here specifically to take a look at you!" Lin Jin also took a few steps closer to the bedside and then said to the old woman, "Grandma, let me take your pulse first!"
Jin Yuanyuan quickly stood up and moved a chair to the bedside. Lin Jin sat down without hesitation and carefully took the old man's pulse, observing his complexion and tongue coating. After a while, she had a general idea of what was going on. Jin Yuanyuan stared intently at Lin Jin as she took the pulse!
The old lady smiled as she watched Lin Jin finish taking her pulse. Then she said to Lin Jin, "Child, this is an old ailment of mine. Yuanyuan felt sorry for me and insisted on bringing you here. But seeing how composed you are at such a young age, I imagine your medical skills are quite good." Lin Jin smiled and replied, "Grandma, your illness isn't difficult to treat. It's just that your body is already weak, and you caught a cold, which made it worse. I'll give you a couple of acupuncture needles first, then write a prescription. Take the medicine on time, and pay attention to your diet and rest. You'll get better in a while." As she spoke, she took out the silver needles, disinfected them, and inserted two needles into Grandma Jin's head. In less than fifteen minutes, Lin Jin removed the needles and said, "That's enough!" Upon hearing this, Jin Yuanyuan's face lit up with joy: "Really? Lin Jin, thank you so much!"
Lin Jin pulled Jin Yuanyuan outside under the pretext of getting a prescription for her grandmother, and asked in a somewhat urgent tone, "Where are your parents? Although Grandma is not in any life-threatening danger, she needs someone to stay by her side and take care of her all day long!"
Jin Yuanyuan slowly raised her head, her eyes somewhat dim. After a long silence, she said softly, "They are usually very busy with work and rarely come home. It's basically just me and my grandma at home. But it's okay, I can take care of grandma."
