Chapter 90 Chapter 90 Family scandal exposed
After October, the review entered another stage.
According to the priorities, Xinglin Medical Assistant has developed a complete review plan:
In the first three months, the focus is on the knowledge points in the books, and the review is mainly based on the contents of medical classics and medical books. The purpose is to consolidate the foundation and fill in the gaps.
In the next month or so, the teacher will focus on pharmacology and medicinal properties, and take everyone to go through hundreds of Chinese medicinal materials one by one. It will not be until the last month that we will focus on practical exercises.
Each stage has a different focus, which allows the complex knowledge to be integrated together to form a complete system.
Because the focus of the review changed, the class schedule also changed. The theory classes were reduced from 28 classes a week to 15 classes, while the pharmacology classes were increased from 10 classes a week to 30 classes.
This means that they spend almost half of their time every week staying with the Chinese medicine cabinet.
Qin Xiaokun lectured very quickly during the theory class. He could finish a book of more than 100 pages in just two days. After all, it was all basic knowledge. He would only repeat the difficult points that were easy to make mistakes and were often tested, and just mark the others and let them review them by themselves.
Qian Hui's lectures in pharmacology class were extremely slow. Sometimes he would spend an entire class talking about just one herb, breaking it up into pieces and crushing it into pieces. He would explain its medicinal properties and toxicity, how to use it and how to combine it, and he would even like to list out the dosages to be used.
There is no other way. The most important thing in Chinese medicine is the medicinal materials. No medicinal material is unimportant, so you must master every medicinal material firmly to avoid making mistakes when using them.
The teacher explains in detail, so everyone has to remember a lot.
Shen Miao followed Qin Xiaokun's pace for three months, and her brain was able to keep up, but her hands still couldn't learn to abbreviate like them, and she had to write each character clearly.
It doesn’t matter if you are slow in remembering the knowledge in theoretical courses. Just continue marking it by referring to the book after class. But this doesn’t work for pharmacology courses.
Qian Hui's discussions on medicinal materials often involve many books. He would combine a paragraph from one book with a sentence from another book, and finally write them down together. This not only allows for a comprehensive understanding, but also facilitates future review and use.
Now I couldn’t draw wavy lines on the book like I did before, so I could only write each word one by one in my notebook.
This summary is good, but it wastes the pen, the notebook, and even more the hands. Shen Miao finished two whole notebooks in one week, and every time after class, she felt that her hands did not belong to her.
Lu Xin wanted to help her save some effort, but even if he wrote down the points that he had not had time to record, she still had to copy them down herself after class. So, the necessary effort had to be done and no effort could be saved.
"hiss……"
When the class was over, Shen Miao was copying the notes on the blackboard. Just as she was about to move her wrist, she felt a pain in the thenar of her right hand again.
The thenar eminence is the area where the thumb connects to the base of the palm. The pain is just as its name suggests, as if a fish suddenly swings its tail there, violently whipping a nerve, causing a sore and numb feeling.
Even if I move a little, I will feel the pain as if my muscles are torn.
"It hurts again," Lu Xin held her hand and gently rubbed the painful area with his thumb, "Have you taken the medicine I bought for you?"
Lu Xin’s massage was very comfortable. He rubbed his thumb in circles and quickly rubbed away the numbness and soreness that had accumulated.
"It's useless. It still hurts after taking it."
This is what happens when tenosynovitis attacks. Taking medicine or applying medicine can only provide little relief. Using a hot towel for compress is the most effective method, but you can't keep wrapping it like this all the time.
Thinking back to the last time she had tendonitis, it was eight or nine years ago. At that time, she wrote too much in a few days and her wrist couldn't bear it, so it happened. The last time, it seemed to be a few days before school started, and she was frantically catching up on summer homework...
It’s not a good idea to keep feeling the pain, so Shen Miao took the initiative to suggest, “How about you give me some moxibustion?”
"Acupuncture?" Lu Xin frowned. "It probably won't be very effective."
Shen Miao: “I mean the needle knife, just stab it in with the needle knife and cut it twice.”
This is the most effective way to treat tenosynovitis.
The last time Shen Miao had tendonitis, it was Shen Wanshan who cured it with two pricks of the needle knife.
Tenosynovitis is actually the compression of the tendon by the swelling of the tendon sheath. The pain can be significantly relieved by piercing the tendon sheath with a needle knife to loosen the thickened and adhered tendon sheath.
The acupotomy is very similar to a needle, except that the head is modified into the shape of a knife. Using a knife to cut open the tendon sheath may sound scary, but it is actually a minimally invasive surgery with only a needle hole as the wound.
"Then I'll accompany you to the hospital after school." Lu Xin suggested.
Shen Miao took her hand back, “Why waste that money? You can do it yourself by just picking it with a needle.”
Tenosynovitis is one of the most common diseases among rural people, especially during the busy farming months every year. Shen Miao almost always has to help "pick a few pieces" for the aunts, uncles and uncles in the village.
Find the painful area, inject some anesthetic nearby, and then prick it twice with the needle knife...the whole process will be done in at most ten minutes.
The only thing you need to pay attention to is that it may depend more on the doctor's skills and experience.
The first time Shen Miao treated someone with acupuncture knife, she was a little unfamiliar with it, but she became proficient after doing it many times.
Lu Xin's eyes widened in surprise, "You want to do it yourself?"
“Nonsense, I’m not left-handed, how can I do it myself?” Shen Miao stood up and stretched her stiff neck, “I’ll go to the nursing class to borrow some anesthetics, and you can help me when I come back.”
Luxin: "Ah? Me?"
A chill suddenly ran down Lu Xin's back, and the back of his neck felt as if someone had grabbed it.
Before Lu Xin could say anything else, Shen Miao had already run out in a flash.
After about ten minutes, Shen Miao came back carrying a small bag of things.
Iodine solution, alcohol, syringes, anesthetics, needle knives, cotton swabs... these are all you need.
Putting the things from the bag on the table one by one, Shen Miao casually said, “Have you ever used a needle knife?”
"No." Looking at the things on the table, Lu Xin was sweating profusely. "I have only given acupuncture to others, and acupuncture knife..."
As he said that, Shen Miao stuffed the anesthetic and syringe into his hands: “Actually, it’s almost the same. Since you’ve performed acupuncture, then needle knife will be no problem.”
Luxin: …
He was sweating more on his back.
Seeing that Lu Xin was always dithering, Shen Miao did not think much about it, she just thought that he was worried and afraid of hurting herself, and did not notice the awkwardness and confusion in his eyes at all.
Pressing the painful spot on the thenar of his right hand, Shen Miao pointed to a spot and said, “It hurts here, just insert the needle from here.”
"Why don't you just stop using needles?" Lu Xin was still trying to persuade her. "Acupuncture is effective, but it can also cause damage to the body. Since it's not that serious, just take conservative medication."
"Taking medicine is useless. I've been in pain for several days."
Shen Miao put her hand closer, "Medicine is three-quarters poison. If it can be cured with a few picks, there is no need to take medicine. Besides, I have borrowed all the things, so please hurry up, I have to return them after I use them."
Shen Miao had made up her mind and would not be moved by Lu Xin.
In this case, Lu Xin had no choice but to bite the bullet and tear open the packaging of the syringe, and then broke open the ampoule containing anesthetic.
Lu Xin had these "experiences" before, but the subjects he used for the experiments were vegetables like carrots and pumpkins, or dummies with school positions marked on their bodies...
This was the first time he gave acupuncture to a real person.
"Are you ready?"
"Um."
"It might hurt, just bear with it." "Okay."
"Then I'm going to give you the needle."
"... Stop dawdling and hurry up."
Lu Xin was still dithering, if it was Shen Miao, she would have finished the conversation long ago.
Holding Shen Miao's hand, Lu Xin gritted his teeth, wiped the skin with iodine solution and alcohol, then held the syringe and inserted the needle into the place where her finger had just been.
“Don’t just push the medicine in one place,” Shen Miao said, holding his hand and adjusting the angle left and right, “If you don’t turn it around, how can you prescribe the medicine?”
While enduring the pain and helping Lu Xin give herself anesthesia, Shen Miao felt like she was a mother, teaching her child how to eat step by step.
While waiting for the anesthetic to take effect, Lu Xin pressed Shen Miao's hand to speed up the spread of the anesthetic, and then tore open the packaging of the needle knife.
"No, that's not how you pinch a needle knife."
Seeing that Lu Xin was pinching the handle of the needle knife like pinching a needle in acupuncture, Shen Miao helped him adjust the correct technique, "You have to pinch it like this, so that your hand can exert strength when cutting the knife, otherwise it will slip easily."
"Oh, okay."
Acupuncture knife is similar to acupuncture. The key is to be steady, accurate and ruthless. The faster and more decisive the speed, the less pain the process can cause.
And Lu Xin gave the needle...
It feels like cutting tofu with a dull knife. Every step is correct, but every step is slow. Especially when using the tip of the knife to scrape across the painful area, it is as if a retardant has been taken, and each scrape is extremely slow.
Those who knew him would think that he was cutting the tendon sheath, while those who didn’t would think that he was carving patterns on tofu.
"alright."
The moment the needle knife was finally pulled out, Lu Xin breathed a sigh of relief.
When he used a cotton swab to press the wound for her, his frowning brows finally relaxed a little, and his stiff neck became relaxed again.
"How are you? Are you feeling better?" Lu Xin asked.
Shen Miao: “…The effect of the anesthetic hasn’t worn off yet.”
Acupuncture knife is effective in treating tenosynovitis, but the effect can only be felt after the numbness disappears. Now her hands are still numb. Although she can move them, there is no particularly obvious pain.
Seeing that he looked like he had just finished an exam, Shen Miao couldn’t help but doubt his skills.
"Lu Xin, have you ever given an injection or treated someone before? I feel like you're a rookie with no experience."
"Yes, of course." Lu Xin immediately answered affirmatively.
"Then why were you so hesitant when you inserted the needle just now? Your hands were shaking."
Holding Shen Miao's hand again, the palm that was a little cold just now returned to its normal warmth again, "Because I'm going to give you an acupuncture needle, I'm afraid I can't do it well."
Putting her hand on his face, Lu Xin blinked sincerely, "What if I accidentally slip and make you more injured? After all, my sister trusts me so much."
Shen Miao: …
Taking the opportunity to pinch his face, this sudden act of coquetry made Shen Miao’s heart surge with sweetness again.
Oh~ This obedient "puppy" is really good at licking!

After working hard for half a year, all the preparatory work before the demolition was finally completed.
In recent months, compensation money has been deposited into the accounts of various villages, and compensation for some special cases has also been finalized. All we have to do is wait until after the Spring Festival of 1999, and then the urban villages in Yu City and the villages on the edge of the city to the east can officially start construction.
It is only October now, and there are still four months until the Chinese New Year, which is just the right amount of time for the villagers to find a new home to relocate to.
With the help of Yao Heng, and after many on-site comparisons by Shen Shansheng and Wang Dongmei, they finally decided on a house in Beiguan Village.
The house has a total of six floors, each floor has one big room and two small rooms. The Shen family rented the entire second floor. The big floor is occupied by Shen Shansheng and his wife, and Shen Wanshan and Shen Miao each live in one room, which is just right for a family of four.
But the room hasn’t been cleaned yet, so I’m afraid I won’t be able to move in until November.
On the weekend, Shen Miao was going to go home to help pack up. She originally planned to come back by herself, but Lu Xin insisted on coming with her, saying that he wanted to help her. Thinking that it would be a waste to use the free labor, she agreed to his request.
"First, you can't tell my parents that you're pursuing me. We are just friends + brother + friends now."
"rest assured."
"Second, try not to mention too much about your grandfather and Teacher Qin. You know the reason."
"no problem."
"Third, don't tell your grandfather about your visit to my house when you go back, no..."
"Okay, okay, I promise you, sister. Let's go quickly. If we don't leave now, we won't have time for lunch."
Lu Xin was a person who always played by unconventional means. Shen Miao was really afraid that he would say or do something wrong, so she had to explain every detail clearly in advance to feel at ease.
The first time he went to Shen Miao's house, Lu Xin was not nervous at all, and was even a little excited.
He had agreed to behave normally, but while walking on the road in the village, he jumped up and shot basketballs into the air several times...
Shen Miao was really afraid that he would have another “freak out” after meeting his family, which would be really embarrassing.
“Hello uncle, hello auntie, hello grandpa, my name is Lu Xin, and I’m a classmate of Sister Shen Miao.”
Lu Xin was like two different people before and after entering the door. One second he was jumping up and down like a monkey, and the next second he immediately turned into a sunny boy with clear eyes and well-behaved and obedient behavior.
Luxin?
They recognized the name, the grandson of Lu Jianghai, the legendary medical genius, most of the papers Shen Miao took when registering had his name on them.
Shen Miao would mention him every week when she went home for dinner, but she had never seen him.
When we met for the first time, I didn’t expect that Lu Xin was just like his name. He is indeed a very clean and upright boy.
Shen Shansheng and Wang Dongmei had no prejudice against him and only regarded him as an ordinary school classmate. Shen Wanshan was also polite to him. After all, no matter how unhappy he and Lu Jianghai were, it was a matter of the older generation and there was no need to involve the younger generation.
Lu Xin kept his word and said that he was here to help Shen Miao pack up her things, and he had indeed been helping to pack up the books and sundries in the house.
Although Lu Xin is not very strong, he is full of energy. If he cannot handle heavy work, he will divide it into several tasks. He will run up and down the stairs several times in one breath without taking a rest.
"You've been busy for so long, take a break." Shen Shansheng poured Lu Xin a glass of water and asked him to sit down and rest.
"Yeah, come on, have some snacks and watch some TV. Just come to my house and play, why do you have to work all the time?"
As Wang Dongmei spoke, she pushed Shen Miao who was leaning on the sofa watching TV, “You too, you don’t organize your own things, but ask others to help you tidy them up. You really think you are the empress dowager.”
"ah?"
Shen Miao was concentrating on watching the TV series and didn't pay any attention to what Wang Dongmei was saying. Putting down the shrimp chips in her hand, Shen Miao said slowly: "Well, I just want to train him. He is young, so he needs to do more work."
Empress Dowager? Not really. At most, she was just a little emperor.
As she spoke, she raised her chin to Lu Xin again, "Am I right?"
Lu Xin, who was drinking water, nodded rapidly. After his bulging cheeks shrank, he answered obediently, "Yes, sister is right. I should exercise more."
The shrimp chips made her mouth a little salty. After picking up the remote control and changing a few channels, Shen Miao pushed the melon seeds on the table towards Lu Xin, "Eat some melon seeds. These fried melon seeds taste good. Peel some for me after you finish eating."
Luxin: “Okay.”
Wang Dongmei: ???
Shen Shansheng:? ? ?
Seeing how Lu Xin listened to Shen Miao and took care of her like a little follower, the two of them didn't think of being in a relationship at all. Instead, they thought that Shen Miao must have something on Lu Xin that made him so obedient.
"Xiao Xin, did Miao Miao bully you at school?" Wang Dongmei asked tentatively, "If she does anything to you, you must tell your auntie, and I will definitely help you."
Shen Miao: ???
Oh my god, am I that kind of person?!
Lu Xin shook his head quickly, "No, no, no, Auntie, you misunderstood. Sister Miaomiao has always taken good care of me at school, so I also want to be nicer to her."
After saying that, Lu Xin obediently placed a handful of freshly peeled melon seeds on a corner of the table.
Xinhua does not allow slaves, but some people insist on being slaves...
Well, since he wanted to hear Shen Miao’s words so much, what else could they do?
While eating the melon seeds peeled by Lu Xin, Shen Miao asked Shen Shansheng in a low voice: "Dad, I see that Grandpa seems unhappy today? Is there something wrong?"
Chen Shansheng glanced at Lu Xin subconsciously, his expression a little embarrassed, "I happened to meet Grandpa Lu when I went to see the house a few days ago. He said that his grandson would be turning one next month, and he invited Grandpa to eat at the table. The two of them stood there and chatted for a while, but when he came back, Grandpa was not very happy."
Shen Shansheng said it simply, but in fact he concealed a lot of things.
For example, when they met, Lu Jianghai "pretended to be casual" to show him his happy life, showing him how perfect his life was and how successful his family was.
After hearing so many sour words, it would be strange if Shen Wanshan could be happy.
I guess it was because I saw Lu Xin today that I remembered what Lu Jianghai said that day.
"My grandfather is like this, he has a very strong temper." While peeling the melon seeds in his hand, Lu Xin said leisurely, "Even if his life is not so good, no one will notice the difference."
Lu Xin knew that it was not nice to speak ill of elders behind their backs, but he was resentful towards Lu Jianghai in his heart, so he couldn't help but want to agree with him.
"Your family is really living a good life, so it's okay for you to show off to others." Wang Dongmei peeled an orange for him, "Look at your father, he is the deputy chief physician of the Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, it will be very impressive if you tell others about it."
Lu Xin curled his lips and said, "It sounds like a grand ceremony, but in fact, he was almost demoted several times. It was only because of my grandfather that he was allowed to continue to be a deputy director."
Doesn’t Lu Xin know what the situation is at home?
Lu Xin's father's medical skills were mediocre, so it was easy for him to get into a traditional Chinese medicine hospital, but he was always an attending physician and was not promoted to deputy director until he was almost 40 years old.
After becoming an associate chief physician, his medical skills did not improve, and he was not able to guide students and interns well. He was just occupying the position in vain. He almost failed the professional title assessment several times. If Lu Jianghai had not been in the hospital at the time, he would have been demoted long ago.
Pomp? Oh, not at all.
"Your grandfather has achieved great success. He has many students all over the world, and each of them is very talented." Shen Shansheng continued.
While eating the orange peeled by Wang Dongmei, Lu Xin's tone was still indifferent: "That's true. My grandfather has quite a few students. If not a hundred, there must be eighty, right? But I feel that their greatness should have little to do with my grandfather..."
Lu Jianghai does have quite a few students, but he is not the only teacher for those students.
Lu Jianghai basically just guides them into the field and teaches them some relatively simple skills. When their level is improved, their other teachers will continue to guide them in further study.
It’s a bit like a Chinese teacher in an elementary school. He has many students all over the world, but if his students can get into college and achieve higher achievements in the future... it seems that it can’t be entirely due to his credit.
Shen Miao: "What about your aunt? I heard that she is doing business in the south. She is a very capable woman."
"My aunt... I remember that before I was born, she severed her relationship with my grandfather."
Shen Miao: ???
Listen to Lu Jianghai's nonsense, saying that his daughter has a business mind, and even if she has only been to school for a few days, she is very smart and has established herself in the south very early.
In fact, she was kicked out of the house by Lu Jianghai. If she could go to school, who would go to the south to work at such a young age?
Fortunately, she was lucky and reaped the benefits of the times, but she would not be grateful to Lu Jianghai for this. They had not been in touch for more than 20 years, and God knew how Lu Jianghai knew her current situation.
After eating so much gossip from Lu Xin in one go, Shen Shansheng was a little overwhelmed.
“What about the birthday party? Do you want to go?” Shen Miao asked them.
Shen Shansheng: "No, I don't want to go."
Lu Xin agreed: "Well, it's right not to go. There's really nothing to eat at our banquet."
Shen Miao: …
It is said that family disgrace should not be made public, but Lu Xin was so good that he tore off Lu Jianghai's "mask" so easily.
"Oh, I won't talk about adult matters anymore. Fortunately, you have a promising future." Wang Dongmei kept praising him, "You are so talented in studying medicine. It's enough to have you bring honor to your family."
Lu Xin didn't answer, but just smiled and silently stuffed another orange slice into his mouth.
