"Aunt Ding, let Xiao Chu go buy it. It's too much trouble to do it if there are too many people."

Li Qin pulled Ding's mother to sit on the sofa, and then Li Chu went to the kitchen to get a pot and took Xiao Hei out to buy breakfast.

When he returned, everyone except the mother and her two children in the main bedroom was already up.

After breakfast, Jia Dong took Jia Yuan to school.

Zhang Meng also brought Aunt Wang over early in the morning. He left without stopping because he had to take Uncle Wang to a meeting when he got back.

Li Chu took the chicken soup from Aunt Wang and went to the kitchen to put the ginseng root on it and simmered it for a while.

Wang Ziwen and Li Qin have both gone to work. Ding's father will go back in the afternoon; it's not easy for him to get a day off today.

Ding's mother will stay here to help the young couple for a few more days.

Li Chu originally planned to ask for a few days off from the hospital, but Ding Ma and Wang Aunt stopped him. With the two of them there, the family didn't need so many people.

Come to think of it, back then Ding Qiunan had to ask for leave several months in advance because her belly was so big, and the hospital was very accommodating in approving it. Although the hospital hardly cares about Li Chu now, one shouldn't go too far.

By the time Li Chu came to work at the hospital, everyone already knew that his wife had given birth to twins, a boy and a girl, very easily the night before.

His clinic was soon filled with people, all coming to congratulate him.

Although Ding Qiunan had only been working for a few months before taking leave, she seemed to be quite popular. Several female doctors and nurses had arranged to visit her and her child at home that afternoon.

Li Chu did nothing all morning but deal with his colleagues at the hospital, which left him hoarse.

Fortunately, Ding Qiunan went home after giving birth last night. If she had stayed in the hospital, she and her two children probably wouldn't have gotten any sleep today.

Li Chu bought lunch at the cafeteria and delivered it back to his mother-in-law; he had arranged this with her when he left in the morning.

When he got back, both children had just been fed and were asleep.

That's how newborn babies are; they eat and then sleep.

Ding Qiunan was eating noodles cooked in chicken soup, which her mother specially made by hand.

After returning to work in the afternoon, Xu Damao and his wife came over again.

"Da Mao, what are you doing here instead of going to work every day?"

"Hey, Brother Chu, I just got back from the countryside yesterday, so I can take a day off today."

"I brought Xiao'e here today because I wanted you to take a look at her. Xiao'e seems to be..."

Xu Damao didn't finish his sentence, but it wasn't hard to tell something from the couple's excited expressions.

Li Chu didn't say much. Xu Damao's health had been almost fully recovered, so it was normal for him to have sex whenever he wanted.

After asking Lou Xiao'e to sit down, Li Chu immediately took her pulse, which clearly indicated she was pregnant.

"Congratulations to you two!" Without keeping anyone in suspense, Li Chu said it directly after withdrawing his hand.

Xu Damao's face turned bright red with excitement, and his mouth was practically stretched to his ears.

Lou Xiao'e's smile was also revealed without any attempt to hide it.

"Thank you, Brother Chu." Xu Damao's eyes were a little red; he really needed to thank Li Chu.

Li Chu smiled and said, "Alright, what's the point of thanking me like this? I'm a doctor, it's just my duty to treat and save lives."

"Now that your wife is pregnant, you should live your life properly from now on, take good care of Xiao'e, and stop acting like a child and fighting with He Yuzhu all day long."

Xu Damao waved his hand: "Brother Chu, I don't even want to talk to Sha Zhu anymore. I'm a man with children now, while he doesn't even have a girlfriend. What does he have to compare with me?"

Seeing Xu Damao raise his head like a proud rooster, Li Chu shook his head with a wry smile.

Lou Xiao'e raised her hand and slapped Xu Damao: "Look at the way you are. Don't be so cocky when you get back."

Xu Damao wasn't angry at being hit; he just chuckled.

"Brother Chu, is Sister Qiu Nan home?" Lou Xiao'e asked. She had a good relationship with Ding Qiu Nan, and she often went over to chat with her while the girl was on vacation.

“Qiu Nan is at home; she gave birth last night,” Li Chu said with a smile.

"What? She gave birth last night?" Lou Xiao'e stared at Li Chu with wide eyes, feeling somewhat incredulous.

She went over yesterday morning to accompany Ding Qiunan for a stroll in the yard.

Xu Damao looked at Li Chu in surprise: "Brother Chu, they must be two boys."

"Thank you for your kind words, one boy and one girl."

"Hey, you have both a son and a daughter! Congratulations, Brother Chu!" Xu Damao said, slapping his thigh.

Xu Damao was a man of good manners; everyone liked what he said.

"Brother Chu, let's go see Sister Qiu Nan now."

“Go ahead, my mother-in-law and aunt are at home with her, Xiao’e, you can go over and chat with her.”

Just after he saw Xu Damao and his wife off, Director Li from the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department came to see him again. Director Li was also an impatient person, and asked directly as soon as he entered the door.

"Xiao Li, can your method for improving the physical condition of pregnant women be popularized?"

If this method can be popularized, it would truly benefit the masses.

Every year, countless mothers and babies die due to complications during childbirth.

With the current low level of medical care, even if a cesarean section has been performed, hospitals will not recommend it unless absolutely necessary.

Seeing Ding Qiunan give birth to twins so smoothly, Director Li was truly impressed by Li Chu's method of conditioning her body.

She didn't want to keep it for herself; she simply wanted to see if it could be made public so that more families could benefit from it.

Director Li also made a point of explaining his thoughts to him.

After listening to Director Li's words, Li Chu smiled and said, "Director Li, I understand your thoughts. We have worked together in the same hospital for several years, and I admire your character very much."

After pausing, Li Chu continued, "However, I believe you know a little about traditional Chinese medicine. Individual differences between people are too great. What is good medicine for one person may be poison for another. This has been the case countless times throughout history."

Li Chu spread his hands, making a helpless expression.

After hearing his words, Director Li remained silent.

After a long silence, he sighed and said, "I was too naive."

Yes, if something goes wrong with what she eats, she won't be saving people, she'll be harming them, and harming a family, or even several families.

Li Chu waved his hand: "Director Li, you mean well, but that's just how traditional Chinese medicine is. I can only wait until I see the benefit before I act."

Director Li shook his head with a wry smile.

"Director Li, if you have any patients with this condition in the future, please refer them to me. I will do my best to help them."

"That's the only way. Thank you, Comrade Li."

"You're welcome. It's all for the better help of patients. As doctors, treating and saving lives is our job. There's no need to thank us."

"Comrade Xiao Li, is there any way to make the traditional Chinese medicine you prescribe as universally applicable as Western medicine?"

Director Li was still somewhat unwilling to give up.

"Director Li, this is really beyond my knowledge. There may be a way, but it's beyond what a doctor like me can do. Only the researchers at the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine can study it."

Director Li realized that his question was somewhat beyond the scope of the subject, so he didn't say anything more, but stood up and said, "Alright, then..."

"What, Director Li, are you leaving already? You're such a busy person, it's not easy for you to come to our TCM department, you should give us some more guidance on our work."

Director Li was interrupted before he could finish speaking, and Director Liang walked in from outside.

"Old Liang, stop teasing me. I came here today to ask Xiao Li some questions."

Director Liang was a little puzzled. He looked at Li Chu and then at Director Li, saying, "What's going on? Is there a problem that requires you to come all this way in person?"

Without hesitation, Director Li told Director Liang about Ding Qiunan's performance during childbirth last night and the purpose of her visit.

Director Liang nodded after listening: "What Xiao Li said is right. This is the fundamental problem that makes it so difficult for traditional Chinese medicine to develop."

My Healing Game

"Alright, you must have come here to see Xiao Li, so I won't bother you any longer. You two go ahead with your work, I'm leaving now."

After saying her goodbye, Director Li left. Li Chu escorted her to the door before coming in.

"Xiao Li, congratulations on having both a son and a daughter all at once."

"Thank you, Director."

"Oh, is that so? I came here to talk to you about something."
