“Does your family like rapeseed oil?”

The young woman nodded and said, "Yes, my relatives gave us a lot of rapeseed oil this year. We use rapeseed oil mixed with lard when cooking."

"That's right. Your child's reaction is due to internal heat causing tonsillitis. For the sake of your child's health, it's best not to use rapeseed oil for cooking."

"But everyone in our family is fine!" The young woman looked puzzled.

Zhong Yuxiu said: "Some people cannot eat rapeseed oil due to physical problems. They will get internal heat after eating it. For example, eating rapeseed oil can cause mouth ulcers, tonsillitis, swollen and painful gums, and internal heat. Some people don't have such problems with rapeseed oil. It all depends on the individual."

"I understand. I'm glad we found the cause. I won't give my child rapeseed oil anymore." The young woman said with a lingering fear. "Then the medicine she took before didn't work. Could it be the rapeseed oil that caused it?"

"That's right." Zhong Yuxiu nodded and continued, "But the main reason is that your child's internal heat hasn't been relieved. I'll prescribe a dose of medicine later. After one day of it, your child will be fine. For the next two days, try to keep his diet light. Avoid eggs for three days, and don't eat goose meat."

The young woman nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Zhong Yuxiu prescribed a medicine for the child and gave it to the young woman. "This medicine should be taken in the same way as the old lady's prescription. Take it after meals. Don't use mealtimes to buy medicine for the child, or it will ruin his appetite."

"I'll remember that. Thank you, Dr. Zhong." The young woman was full of gratitude. She picked up her child, took the prescription and left.

After two patients left, she saw eight more patients one after another, all of whom were her repeat customers. When they knew she was back to work, they all chose to see Zhong Yuxiu first.

Near noon, Yan Rushan arrived as promised; sitting in the office was a man with a sallow face, thin and weak.

"daughter in law."

"Wait a moment, I'll be leaving right away." Zhong Yuxiu didn't even look up as she quickly wrote a prescription and handed it to the waiting patient. "Your condition isn't too serious. You have liver problems that need to be treated. Keep this prescription after boiling the medicine. You need to take it for about a month. During this time, you can't drink alcohol, smoke, or eat spicy or fishy foods, and avoid allergic foods."

The male patient took the prescription and nodded in thanks, "Thank you, Dr. Zhong. Can I take this medicine for a month to be cured?"

"No matter whether you are better or not, come back in a month and I will give you a follow-up consultation. My working hours will be every Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoon." Saturday and Sunday will depend on the situation.

"Okay." The male patient walked past Yan Rushan and walked out of the office holding the prescription.

Yan Rushan walked over to her, put his hands on the edge of the desk, leaned over to her and said, "Why are there still patients in the middle of the day?"

"I haven't been to work for several months, and now many patients have come to see me since I returned. Just this afternoon, I saw eleven patients." It was quite tiring. "The patient just now was referred by someone else. His illness was caused by drinking, and it damaged his liver."

"Is drinking alcohol such a serious problem? He's not very old, right? Most people who get this kind of disease are elderly."

Yan Rushan's words were correct, but "illness doesn't discriminate between the elderly, the young, or even children. Some people have physical problems and can't drink too much. If they do, their bodies will be extremely damaged. Just like some children who get drunk easily after just one sip of alcohol, which can even damage their internal organs."

"Is that so?" Yan Rushan seemed to be lost in thought, but he quickly calmed down. "Never mind. I only have a limited understanding of medicine, so I'm not as knowledgeable as you are about these situations. Can we go now? I bought you three roast ducks, enough for you to eat as much as you want."

"Let's go home." Yuxiu casually stuffed the medical records into the drawer and excitedly stood up to pull him out. Turning back to close the office, she felt around to see if she had brought the key with her. When she touched the key to the original office, she realized, "Oh no! The key to the previous office is still with me."

Yan Rushan said, "Go upstairs. Dean Zhang should not have left yet."

"This is the only way." Fortunately, the teacher's office was not far from Dean Zhang's office, and it was just a matter of walking up the stairs. When he arrived at Dean Zhang's office, he saw Dean Zhang signing a contract with Ji Liangcai and Liang Mingke.

Zhong Yuxiu paused and waited for them to finish signing. After some politeness, the two of them walked out of Dean Zhang's office. Zhong Yuxiu nodded and took a step back to make way for them.

"Doctor Zhong, you are here too. Dean Zhang is inside." Liang Mingke smiled, as if the previous contempt did not exist.

"I see. Thank you."

"You're so polite. We'll all be colleagues and comrades when we work together from now on." Liang Mingke said with a smile, as if waking from a dream. "I have to go home now. Doctor Zhong and this comrade can get busy."

Liang Mingke finished speaking and walked away. Ji Liangcai didn't find a chance to speak, so he could only nod at them and leave.

Yan Rushan lowered his head and said, "Keep your distance from them at work from now on. There's something strange about these two."

"Why do you think so?" Zhong Yuxiu frowned frivolously, her eyes dim.

"When we first arrived, they were obviously contemptuous, but now they are a little overly enthusiastic." The change from contempt and indifference to enthusiasm took only half a day; the key point was that Yuxiu did not have much contact with them.

Zhong Yuxiu nodded, "Indeed, but I know what I'm doing; Brother Yan, don't worry, as long as everything is peaceful..." Anyone who wants to plot against her will be retaliated against.

"Of course I believe you. Let's go, return the key and go home for dinner."

"Um."

The two walked to the office together. Yan Rushan raised his hand and knocked on the door. Dean Zhang, who was inside the office, looked over and smiled. "You haven't finished get off work yet? Why are you here?"

"I'm here to return the keys." Yuxiu took out a key and handed it to him. "This is the key to my old office. I forgot to give it to you."

Dean Zhang took it and said, "You can give it to me anytime. There's no need to send it specially."

"I'm giving it back to you now. I can rest assured that I'll have one less thing to worry about." Zhong Yuxiu smiled. "Director Zhang, we have to go home. The child is still at home. When you're done, go home for dinner and take care of yourself."

"Okay, take care, both of you."

After sending the person to the door, Dean Zhang looked down at the key in his hand, shook his head silently, and smiled after a moment; Comrade Zhong Yuxiu was a serious person.

When they went downstairs and out of the hospital, they unexpectedly met Ji Liangcai and Liang Mingke again; the two of them also saw them.

"Comrade Zhong, comrade, hello, are you going home?" Liang Mingke walked forward and asked.

Ji Liangcai followed closely behind and said, "Where does Comrade Zhong live? We live in Shunzi Hutong in the south of the city. If it's convenient, we can go together."

Zhong Yuxiu paused and shook her head, "That's not on the way. We don't live in the south of the city."

"What a pity. Let's go outside together and then go our separate ways." Ji Liangcai thought he knew what to do.

Yan Rushan glanced at him, took Yuxiu's hand and said, "We'll leave first and go back to eat. Please forgive me, both of you."
