Chapter 602: Low Sperm Viability
After watching Old Xia's wife walk around twice, Bai Zhi said, "Then it should be the restoration of the throne."
"Sister-in-law, but you can't do any strenuous exercise for now to prevent a relapse."
Bai Zhi gestured for her to lie back down on the bed, "From now on, use a high pillow when you sleep, and raise your head by about 30-45 degrees."
"Also, avoid sleeping on the affected side, and avoid sudden head movements such as bending down, tilting your head back, or turning over quickly. You will fully recover after a few days of rest."
Upon hearing Bai Zhi's words, Lao Xia quickly went over and put another pillow under his wife's pillow.
Old Xia's wife, lying in bed, was overjoyed. "Young lady Bai, how can your medical skills be so amazing? No injections, no medicine, I just did a few simple movements and I recovered?"
Bai Zhi smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, not all diseases require injections and medicine. The most important thing is to make a clear diagnosis and treat the symptoms accordingly."
"Then what about all the medicine I've been taking lately?"
Old Xia's wife looked annoyed.
Why didn't I meet Bai Zhi sooner?
Bai Zhi smiled and comforted her, "It's not a waste of money. It's good for women to replenish their qi and blood. Look at your rosy and radiant complexion now. That's a sign of sufficient qi and blood."
Old Xia's wife laughed and said, "Now that you say that, I feel better."
She has indeed taken a lot of tonics these past two months, and her husband, Lao Xia, even made her black chicken soup.
I almost got a nosebleed from the injection.
The dizziness symptoms have not improved at all.
"Alright, now that your sister-in-law's illness is cured, let's sign the contract."
Old Xia's wife lay on the bed and said to Old Xia, "Dr. Xiao Bai has cured my illness, so please give him a smaller rent."
Old Xia looked at his wife lying on the bed and wanted to ask, "Are you really okay?"
But with Bai Zhi and Lu Ye in front of him, he was too embarrassed to ask the question directly.
Instead, another question immediately came out: "Then how much less?"
"Didn't you say the rent would be 1000 yuan?"
Old Xia's wife lay there with a high pillow, her body motionless, only her mouth speaking, "Eight hundred yuan is enough for the first year."
The proprietress immediately lowered the price by 200 yuan.
In this day and age, that's quite a lot.
Old Xia readily agreed. "Okay, then we'll do as my wife says. Whatever the contract says, one thousand, you can just give eight hundred this time."
"Thank you, Boss Xia, thank you, sister-in-law."
Bai Zhi gladly accepted the 200 yuan rent reduction, which she earned by using her medical skills.
She quickly relieved the patients' pain, and they repaid her with 200 yuan, which was very fair.
Old Xia handed the contract to Bai Zhi, saying, "Take a look at the contract first. If there are no problems, we'll sign it."
The contract was printed by Lao Xia, and the terms and conditions were listed very clearly.
Bai Zhi opened the contract and carefully reviewed it; all the necessary clauses were there. The contract also fully guaranteed the rights and obligations of both parties.
No problem, she readily wrote her name.
After Boss Xia finished signing, he gave Bai Zhi one copy of the contract, making two copies in total.
He paid a deposit of 100 yuan yesterday, and Bai Zhi gave him 700 yuan today.
Old Xia followed them out of the house and went to the shop. He explained the plumbing and electrical systems in the house to them in detail again, as well as some things they should pay attention to, and then handed them the keys.
He smiled and said, "You can start the renovations now."
"good."
The building used to be a restaurant, and the walls were blackened with soot.
The ground was also paved with red bricks, which were uneven and pitted over the years.
Bai Zhi plans to pry up all these bricks and lay them as wooden flooring.
Paint the walls white.
Then build another wall to create a partitioned physiotherapy room.
That's all there is to it in terms of hard furnishings.
The rest is just buying cabinets and stocking up on medicinal herbs.
She asked Old Xia, "Boss Xia, you should be familiar with the county town. Do you know any skilled tile setters? I want to replace all the floors here with wooden flooring."
Old Xia said, "Yes, I'll get in touch with them for you."
"Thank you so much."
"Then you'll have to pry all these bricks off the ground, right?"
"right."
Bai Zhi glanced at Lu Ye and said, "We'll do this ourselves."
She and Lu Ye will come over on the weekend, along with Shen Qian, and with some tools, they can pry all the bricks off in a day.
Right now, I have to save money and do the work myself.
"Okay, I'll call you after I've contacted the driver."
Old Xia was still thinking about his wife at home. After giving her important instructions, he left.
Lu Ye and Bai Zhi also planned to go back.
Today, we treated Old Xia's wife's illness, saving two hundred yuan on rent. Bai Zhi glanced at her watch and asked Lu Ye, "Are you going back to the army this afternoon?"
Lu Ye nodded, "Yes, I need to go back."
She sighed regretfully, "I was planning to treat you to a meal at a restaurant."
They should use that money to have a big meal.
Upon hearing this, Lu Ye patted his wife's head and chuckled, "Let's eat out after the shop is renovated."
"Okay, let's go back first."
The two had just come out of the shop and were about to ride their bikes when Lu Ye saw a familiar figure walking towards them.
"Company Commander Zhou, are you out on business?"
Zhou Jianmin strolled slowly down the street with his head down, seemingly lost in thought. He only snapped out of his reverie and turned to look when he suddenly heard Lu Ye's voice.
He was clearly surprised to see Lu Ye here. "Deputy Battalion Commander Lu."
"Company Commander Zhou, are you in the county town on business?" Lu Ye asked.
"Um. Something came up."
As Zhou Jianmin spoke, his gaze inadvertently drifted to the woman beside Lu Ye.
Because of what Political Commissar Zhang said last night, he couldn't help but take a second look at Bai Zhi when he saw her.
How could such a young girl, who is still so innocent, possess medical skills?
He asked, "Are you here on business too?"
Lu Ye responded, "Yes."
"Is it done?"
"Yes, I plan to go back."
The two exchanged a few casual greetings in a nonchalant tone before running out of things to say.
Just as Lu Ye was about to say goodbye and leave, the cheerful voice of Boss Zhao from the shop next door came over, "Miss Bai, I heard you've already signed the contract, when are you going to start the renovation?"
Bai Zhi replied, "Boss Zhao, we'll come over on Sunday to remove the old bricks from the ground."
Boss Zhao said, "Okay, just let me know if you need any help later."
Upon hearing Bai Zhi's conversation with Boss Zhao, Company Commander Zhou looked at Lu Ye with a puzzled expression.
"Is your spouse going to open a shop?" he asked.
"Yes, open a traditional Chinese medicine clinic."
Upon hearing Lu Ye's words, Zhou Jianmin's expression became even more peculiar.
Is this young wife going to open a traditional Chinese medicine clinic?
Could it be that she actually has some skills?
He recalled that after his hospital check-up today, the doctor said something about his low sperm motility and advised him to find a reliable traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for treatment. His gaze involuntarily turned to Bai Zhi again.
Zhou Jianmin blatantly and repeatedly glanced at his wife's face, which made Lu Ye uncomfortable.
He took Bai Zhi's hand and said, "Then we'll be going now."
This time, he simply rode the motorcycle and had his wife sit in the back.
