Chapter 7 Systematized Western Medicine
Lin Shengsheng was still a little reluctant when he left, as he wanted to stay with his sister for a while longer.
Noticing the fatigue on Lin Xinhuan's face, she obediently followed her mother downstairs.
Later, Lin Xinhuan was awakened by the smell.
This sleep was the most comfortable she had had in recent years.
I lay in bed, thinking I wouldn't be able to sleep.
A quilt filled with the scent of sunshine, a cool mat, and a breeze brought by the electric fan.
I closed my eyes and fell into a deep sleep immediately.
Suddenly I felt my chin was wet, and when I touched it, my face turned black.
I was drooling in my sleep!
Luckily I was sleeping alone, otherwise it would have been extremely embarrassing.
Quickly destroy the evidence and go downstairs in your slippers.
It smelled so delicious that it made her stomach growl.
Coincidentally, I met Lin Shengsheng at the stairs who came to call me for dinner.
Holding his little hand, Lin Shengsheng whispered: "Sister~"
"Yeah." She responded immediately. If it weren't for her good hearing, she would have missed it.
She curled her round head and said, "Sister, I like Shengsheng the most."
When he got to the table, Lin Shengsheng's face was still red.
I glanced at Lin Xinhuan and said to myself: I like this sister so much. She also said that after she opens a supermarket, she can give me snacks for free.
Lin Shengsheng swore that Lin Xinhuan was the most beautiful person in the world at that moment, no doubt about it.
Lin Xinhuan never expected that the promise of a snack would completely win Lin Shengsheng's heart.
Now all she could see was a table full of food.
There was a dish of green pork ribs and winter melon soup covered in oil, a large dish of braised pork ribs, steamed prawns, yellow croaker with scallion oil, fried loofah with eggs, and stir-fried sweet potato leaves.
The seats on the round table were completely occupied, with not a single empty space.
"Mom, this is too rich."
Lin Xinhuan stood in front of the table, staring at the food without moving her eyes.
Inhale, inhale, inhale! Take in all the fragrance.
Wu Xiuli is both funny and sad.
Just by looking at the way my daughter looks, I know how hard her life is in her adoptive father's home.
"Here we go, the last dish is the cucumber salad, all ready."
Lin Zhuangcheng came out carrying the dishes.
Lin Xinhuan looked and wondered why it was her dad wearing an apron.
"Dad? Are you cooking today?"
"Of course, my father's cooking skills are not exaggerated. I am the best cook in this town. If I were not busy with farm work, I would open a restaurant."
Lin Zhuangcheng served meals to them one by one and boasted about himself with a beaming face.
"Of course, without your mother's perfect cooperation, I wouldn't be able to cook such delicious dishes."
He suddenly noticed his wife's expression and immediately went around praising Wu Xiuli.
This time, Wu Xiuli's eyebrows and eyes were curved as she smiled, and her expression was 70% similar to Lin Xinhuan's.
"What your father made is what I made. We are all family. Eat quickly, eat quickly."
He quickly picked up a piece of braised pork ribs for Lin Xinhuan.
She remembered the promise she made to her child at noon, and she didn't pay attention to her mouth, so she went out with a mouthful of food.
If she were really allowed to cook, she would scare the children away.
In her family, even the students who are about to enter junior high school can cook better than her.
So all these years, she has been the one helping out.
Lin Xinhuan felt full and happy.
Her parents really loved each other, and suddenly they understood that home is a safe haven.
She ate the meal without even raising her head.
The braised spareribs are tender and smooth, with a fragrant sauce. The whole piece falls away from the bone when you bite it.
She likes to eat the cartilaginous parts the most, and her teeth make a crackling sound when they touch the bones.
There was no need to peel the prawns. Lin Zhuangcheng washed his hands, peeled them one by one, and placed them on plates for them.
The freshest shrimps are steamed, and the chewy meat has a hint of sweetness.
A little soy sauce and vinegar will enhance the taste, creating a perfect combination of sour, sweet and spicy.
The steamed yellow croaker is sprinkled with chopped green onions and drizzled with hot oil. When it is served on the table, you can still hear the sound of oil splashing.
With one chopstick, a large piece of tender meat is brought up. The fish meat is shaped like garlic cloves, which means it is cooked to the right temperature.
Dip it in the soup on the plate and it's tasty and tender like tofu, opening in your mouth as soon as you sip it.
Yellow croaker has few and large bones, so you don't have to worry about choking.
There were three vegetables that went well with rice. Lin Xinhuan ate one bowl, but it was not enough, so she ordered another bowl of rice.
This is more than what Wu Xiuli eats when she does physical work in the fields.
Because their family works a lot and eats a lot.
The bowls at home are not like the small porcelain bowls in the city, but soup bowls that are twice as big.
Wu Xiuli looked at her daughter's thin body and looked at her belly with concern.
In his heart, he wanted to pull out the child's adoptive father and his family and give them a beating.
Lin Xinhuan ended the event with a bowl of winter melon soup.
"Gulp gulp." He drank a bowl of soup in one breath and collapsed on the chair with happiness.
Life is so comfortable. I haven’t eaten enough in a long time.
In ancient times, it was common to eat only one meal a day.
Even if her cooking skills are good, it would be difficult without the ingredients.
If there was a skill display, she would be sure that her skill in digging wild vegetables must be at the maximum level.
In the evening, after she had boiled the medicine, she assured Wu Xiuli three times that it was just medicine for the body.
Wu Xiuli gave up the idea of taking her to the hospital for a checkup.
With a skilled Chinese doctor at home, there is no need to see a Western doctor.
Most Western medicine relies on machine test results for diagnosis.
The medicines prescribed to each patient are similar.
It's not like Chinese medicine which will treat each patient differently and prescribe the right medicine after careful questioning.
Even for the same prescription, the ingredients and dosage will be changed according to each person's situation.
Generally, a Western doctor would take a whole day to complete an examination, one minute to prescribe medicine, ask a few questions, and then send the patient away.
Hospitals across the country have formed a unified system. No matter which hospital you go to, the medicines prescribed are similar.
She does not think that Western medicine is absolutely bad. With such systematic teaching, a large number of doctors can be trained quickly and in large quantities.
It would be very beneficial to ensure that all diseases can be treated throughout the country.
However, for more severe and variable conditions, it will only cause the patient to waste money, and after a lot of tests, the cause of the disease cannot be found.
In her case, she would definitely need a blood test and X-ray.
Finally, I took a bunch of medicine and took it for a month or two.
She knows her own body best and knows that she will be fine if she takes some medicine and recuperates.
I want to go to the county tomorrow to have a look. I heard that the county is the only place with Chinese medicine stores nearby.
Prepare some medicinal herbs to nourish the family members.
Lin Zhuangcheng's main problem was that he was in a bad mood and worked too much.
Shoulder and leg muscle injuries can be treated with acupuncture.
However, Wu Xiuli did not take good care of herself when she gave birth, and suffered from many postpartum illnesses of varying degrees.
Ordinary people don’t have the time to go to the hospital. They will only go to the hospital for a check-up when the pain becomes unbearable.
However, it may be advanced cancer.
Lin Xinhuan examined Wu Xiuli and found cysts and inflammation in her breasts and genitals.
Fortunately, the diagnosis was made early and the condition can be controlled by taking some medicine.
