After taking Ding Ma's pulse, Li Chu asked his brother-in-law to bring him paper and pen, wrote down a prescription, and gave it to Ding Ma.

"Mom, you only need to take this medicine once a day, after meals, for seven consecutive days."

Then he said to Ding Qiunan, "I'll point out two acupoints for you, and you can give Mom acupuncture later."

"Ah, I...I can't...I can't, can I? I've never had acupuncture before."

"It's alright, Qiu Nan, don't be nervous, I'll teach you." As he spoke, Li Chu pointed to two acupoints on his wife's abdomen. Indeed, it was not convenient for him to perform acupuncture on his mother-in-law in such positions.

After saying that, Li Chu went to the outer room, took out acupuncture needles from his bag, and then asked Ding's father for some white wine to disinfect the needles.

Ding Qiunan's hands trembled slightly as she held the needle, and her eyes looked flustered as she looked at her husband.

Li Chu smiled and squeezed her hand: "Don't be nervous, it's okay even if you prick the wrong person, don't worry."

"Xiao Chu, can Nan Nan get her injections now?" Ding's mother was also a little worried.

"Mom, don't worry. I only let Qiu Nan do it because there were no problems. You two can rest assured."

After saying that, he encouraged his wife again before leaving the inner room.

Ding's father had been keeping an eye on the movements inside the room, and when he saw Li Chu come out, he looked at him with concern.

"Dad, don't worry, Qiu Nan will be fine."

Although it was Ding Qiunan's first time giving acupuncture to someone else, and it was her own mother, her palms were sweating and her hands were trembling a little.

But when she heard Li Chu's confident voice from outside, she seemed to calm down immediately and successfully gave Ding Ma the acupuncture.

After the acupuncture was finished, she hurriedly came out and pulled Li Chu aside. Behind Ding's father's back, she pointed out the acupuncture points on her body, still a little worried that she had acupunctured the wrong places.

"Don't worry, it's on point, you did a great job." Li Chu smiled and touched his wife's face.

"Hey, what are you doing!" Ding Qiunan blushed and ran into the inner room after her husband touched her face in front of her father.

Ding's father turned his head to the side, said nothing, and pretended that he hadn't seen anything.

"Qiu Nan, keep an eye on your watch and turn the hands every five minutes," Li Chu said loudly.

After saying that, he sat down in the chair and said to Ding's father, "Dad, what my mother has isn't really an illness. Everyone gets it when they get older, regardless of gender. It's just that it's usually not as obvious in men, but it's a little more obvious in women."

"At home, you and Jianguo should be more accommodating to her and try not to make my mom angry. Talk to her more often and talk about happy things. Don't let her overthink things. It will pass quickly."

After listening to Li Chu's words, Ding's father and Ding Jianguo both nodded.

Only now has Mr. Ding truly realized how reassuring it is to have a doctor in the family.

Half an hour passed quickly, and Ding Qiunan was finally relieved after the needle was removed.

Whether it was psychological or truly miraculous, Ding's mother felt that the lower abdominal pain had subsided, and her lower back felt much lighter.

Standing on the ground, Ding Ma twisted her waist and said with a smile, "Nan Nan, Xiao Chu's medical skills are really amazing."

"Of course, Mom. He's the one who helps with problems in other departments at the hospital."

When Ding Qiunan talks about her husband, her eyes are full of admiration. Her husband is her pride. She didn't know this before she started working at the hospital, but she has come to understand her man's influence in the hospital.

Putting everything else aside, just look at her pregnancy and childbirth this time. She took almost a year off at home. Who else could do that?

At the hospital, the department heads always greeted her with smiles and treated her with great courtesy because she was Li Chu's wife.

Now, no one in the hospital brings up Li Chu's age anymore.

Behind Ding Ma's back, Li Chu gave his wife some more instructions.

"Qiu Nan, tell Mom later that her period may be irregular these past few months, sometimes heavy and sometimes light, and the duration may also vary. This is all normal, so tell her not to worry."

Ding Qiunan nodded: "Is there anything else?"

"It's nothing. I've already told Dad and Jianguo. Mom is taking her medicine and taking care of herself. This phase will pass quickly, she'll be fine."

With Li Chu's assurance, Ding Qiunan felt relieved about her mother's health.

Holding their two children who had already woken up, the family sat in the shade by the door chatting.

Having finalized their son's future path today, Mr. and Mrs. Ding felt relieved of their heavy burden, and the afternoon was filled with laughter and joy.

Even when Ding Jianguo sneaked out to play, Ding's mother didn't care.

After having lunch at home in the afternoon, the family of four, along with Xiao Hei, got into Zhang Meng's car and went home.

In the evening, in the living room, Li Chu was drying his wife's hair.

When they got back, they were busy taking care of the two kids. First, they gave the two children a bath, and then they washed all three dogs.

After taking a shower, Ding Qiunan was so tired that she didn't want to move a single finger.

After drying his hair, Li Chu carried his wife to bed and then took a shower himself.

When he finished washing up and came out, the one adult and two children on the bed were already fast asleep.

Xiao Hei was also fast asleep on the floor next to the bed. Ever since the two puppies moved into the kennel, it had been sleeping on the floor of the bedroom every night. Ding Qiunan even sewed a new mat for it.

Li Chu did not go to bed to rest. Instead, he went to his study and took out the information he had compiled about the signs of kidney failure at various stages, preparing to summarize it.

The patient's test results should be available tomorrow. If they match my assessment, I'll fill in the data and then prepare to submit the report.

This report is somewhat rough and will certainly spark debate, but it does point the way forward. The remaining work will require a large amount of patient data and time, which is not something he can do alone.

After writing the last word on the paper, Li Chu let out a soft breath, shook his slightly sore wrist, and realized that it was already past midnight.

Ignoring the research report, I got up and went to the living room to make formula for the child.

After serving the two little darlings until they finished drinking milk and urinating, I finally went to bed to rest.

As soon as she lay down on the bed, Ding Qiunan coiled around her like a beautiful snake.

She nestled in his arms for a while before finally finding a comfortable position.

Li Chu was somewhat exasperated by her antics. He had been feeling sleepy, but this immediately woke him up.

My wife is great in every way, except for her sleeping posture, which is not flattering. She doesn't seem to care at all whether he's uncomfortable or not.

He even wanted to carry her straight to the small bed in the study and give her a good beating.

I looked at the time and gave up again. If I keep going like this, I won't get any sleep tonight.

He angrily rubbed his wife's breasts before turning off the light and preparing to count sheep before going to sleep.
