Xu Damao looked at the few small medicine bottles in his hand and shook them.

"Brother Chu, is there any more?"

"What? You think these are candies? You can't just pop a couple in your mouth and try them out."

“But didn’t you tell me to find more people? These two bottles only contain two hundred pills. If you find ten people, each person will only have ten pills, and they’ll be gone in twenty days.”

Looking at Xu Damao's matter-of-fact attitude, Li Chu really wanted to spit in his face.

"You're really planning to take one every other day? Aren't you afraid of ruining your kidneys?"

"Then... then how should I take it? Didn't you say one pill every two days?"

"I was talking about the maximum dosage, not that you have to take it every other day. Don't you think about how old you are? You've really had enough of life. Just take two pills a week."

"Okay, whatever you say." Xu Damao didn't ask for more this time and obediently put the two bottles of medicine he was holding into his pocket.

"Go back and ask your wife again. See if any of her girlfriends have mentioned that their husbands are completely unusable. If so, give her a few pills and let her husband try them."

Then he repeated the precautions he had mentioned to Chen He that day to Xu Damao.

"Don't mention Brother Chu, I seem to recall Xiao'e mentioning one to me before, but I remember her saying that her man was touched or something and he couldn't perform."

"Bumped? If it was caused by external force, then it might not work. Let him try it, and remember to have him make a record. If it really doesn't work, come over and I'll take a look."

"Don't worry about that, Brother Chu." Xu Damao said with a grin, picking up a stack of records that Li Chu had prepared from his desk.

"Then I'll head back first. The seafood they contacted in Jinshi is being delivered today, so I need to go back and wait for it."

"Okay, go ahead and do your thing. Just remember, don't overeat."

Alright!

After giving the pills to Xu Damao, Li Chu only had a few dozen pills left. He needed to give some to his wife, as someone had approached her earlier, and then give some to Jianguo and Jiadong.

After this trial, as long as the results they recorded were not significantly different from the previous data, he planned to submit the prescription.

My Healing Game

He's not sure what he'll get in return this time, but he's quite looking forward to it.

He then thought of George John from the United States. He was now the former president, but although he had completed his resignation procedures, his company's investment negotiations with China were progressing quite smoothly. It was estimated that the contract could be signed by the end of this year, or at the latest by the beginning of next year.

George has completely let loose now. Whenever he doesn't need to come to the hospital for a check-up, he goes to visit famous historical sites with a translator and a map. In the past few months, he has traveled all over China and can even speak a few words of Chinese.

As for Angel, she no longer needs to travel here and can live peacefully in her own country.

Just as she was sitting in her chair lost in thought, Ding Qiunan pushed open the office door and walked in.

"I'm waiting for you to come down and bring me medicine. Xu Damao has been gone for ages and you still haven't come."

"I was thinking of giving it to you at lunchtime."

"Alright, here you go. Hongying came to see me again this morning. She didn't mention medicine once, but every sentence she spoke was about medicine."

"Why are you in such a hurry? We can't even get any food now."

"Who knows? Her house is right behind our hospital. Maybe she'll be able to get lunch there."

...

Li Chu silently took a small bottle of medicine from the drawer and handed it over, along with a registration form.

"Make it clear to her that she should take it with warm water half an hour to an hour in advance, and take one pill every two days at most. It should be taken gradually and steadily, so that she doesn't take it all at once."

"I know, you've told me this countless times," Ding Qiunan said impatiently.

"This is medicine, after all, not some kind of health supplement. Of course I have to make that clear. If any problems arise from taking it, I'll be responsible."

Ding Qiunan was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then she pursed her lips and nodded: "I'll remember what you said."

"There's no need to be so serious." Li Chu stood up with a smile, walked over to his wife, and hugged her.

"Under normal circumstances there won't be any problems, but if you eat too much, it can cause insufficient qi and blood in the body."

Ding Qiunan nestled in her man's arms and nodded. Then, as if remembering something, she looked up and said, "Since the day before yesterday, I've been feeling a bit irritable. If I say the wrong thing, I feel like snapping at someone."

Li Chu leaned over and kissed her forehead: "It's okay, sit down and let me feel your pulse. Why didn't you say so when we were at home?"

"I didn't take it seriously, but when you were reminding me of the precautions just now, I unconsciously felt a little irritated, so I snapped at you."

"Little things"

He sat back down in his chair, took out a pulse pillow from the cabinet under his desk, placed it on the table, and began to take his wife's pulse.

He could hardly remember the last time his wife had taken his pulse. Because of him, everyone in the family was in good health. Except for the time when Ding's mother fainted, everyone else was healthy. The most frequently used medicine in the family was the liniment he had prepared, which was only used occasionally when someone accidentally twisted their ankle or leg during morning exercise.

"Um?"

After touching her for less than a minute, a strange look appeared on Li Chu's face. He looked at Ding Qiunan with disbelief.

"Switch hands."

"What happened? What's going on?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing. Let me finish taking your pulse first."

He touched his left hand for a full five minutes, and the strange expression on his face grew increasingly intense. Ding Qiunan was truly impatient this time and directly pulled her hand away.

"You don't forget how to see a doctor during the New Year holiday, do you?"

"No, I just can't believe it."

"What? Do I have some incurable disease?" Ding Qiunan looked at her husband's strange expression and panicked a little.

"Pah, pah, pah, what nonsense are you talking about? What incurable disease? I meant to say, darling, congratulations, you're going to be a mom again."

"You let go... what did you say?"

The office was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Although Ding Qiunan only asked a question, her right hand had already touched her abdomen.

"That's not right, I remember coming here last month."

"Did you get your period this month?"

"It's not time yet, it should be another week."

"But your pulse tells me you are indeed pregnant, darling."

"You didn't touch the wrong thing, did you?" Ding Qiunan still couldn't believe it.

"I'm already a grandmother, my grandson is five months old, and you're telling me I'm pregnant? Li Chu, are you kidding me?"
