Zhan Xinyue was troubled by the fact that her grandmother passed away so early even though she was obviously not in serious condition.
As a result, she would hold her grandmother's hand and take her pulse whenever she had free time these two days.
However, no matter how many times I tried, my pulse remained the same. Apart from liver qi stagnation and constipation, there were no major problems.
The herbs had been dried, and Zhan Xinyue did not boil the medicine directly. Instead, she asked her grandmother first if she was willing to try to let her treat her eyes.
"Grandma, when I was a kid, I studied with the team's anti-blind class and learned to read. Later, I felt sorry for the people living in the cowshed, so I secretly delivered firewood to them a few times. An old man gave me a medical book and taught me the three methods of observation, smell, questioning and palpation. Your vision is blurry now. I think it's caused by liver qi stagnation. The book says that Sheng Puhuang Soup and Xuefu Zhuyu Soup can cure it. I have prepared the herbs needed for the soup. Grandma, do you want to try it?"
What Zhan Xinyue said was true. When I was seven or eight years old, the nationwide literacy campaign was launched. The Changhong Brigade was close to the commune and was designated as a key literacy brigade. At that time, everyone, young and old, men, women, and children had to learn it.
The teacher was very responsible. She stayed there for more than a year, but most of the students could not learn. Zhan Xinyue was one of them, smart and hardworking. She cherished the hard-won opportunity and learned most of the Chinese characters. Later, several intellectuals came to the cowshed, and Zhan Xinyue would deliver the firewood she collected, taking the opportunity to learn more knowledge.
He didn't dare to teach Zhan Xinyue at first, but later, seeing that Zhan Xinyue was strict but diligent and sensible, he liked her more and more, so he taught her everything, including Chinese medicine.
After studying for a while, those teachers returned to the city and left some manuscripts for Zhan Xinyue. Their books had been burned long ago, but these manuscripts were still rushed out overnight.
Later, Zhan Xinyue made money and started learning Chinese medicine again. With the foundation she had when she was a child, she learned much faster this time. Even her master praised her for her talent. Throughout her life, Zhan Xinyue had saved many people.
She still has great confidence in her medical skills.
I’m afraid her parents won’t believe it. After all, she is only two years old. Generally speaking, good Chinese doctors are older.
If grandma doesn't believe it, Zhan Xinyue can wait for Sheng Tunan to come back and then take grandma to the hospital for treatment.
"I believe you." Grandma Sheng nodded with a smile, "My Xinyue is good at everything. She will definitely be able to cure me."
That being said, the truth is that the old lady's family had no hope, but she was old, and even if the medicine damaged her health, it was not a big deal.
Her three sons and her husband are all gone. If she hadn't been concerned about Sheng Tunan, grandma might not have been able to hold on for so long.
Now that Sheng Tunan has a wife and Ma Xiaodong is about to start a family, she feels there is nothing to be nostalgic about.
Therefore, the old family doesn't care whether the eyes can be cured or whether there will be any side effects. If Zhan Xinyue can practice more, it will be one of the few things she can do for the younger generation.
Zhan Xinyue had no idea what her grandmother was thinking. She thought her grandmother really trusted her, so she happily hummed "A big river with wide waves, the wind blows the fragrance of rice flowers on both sides..." and went to boil the medicine.
Bring to a boil over high heat and simmer over low heat to keep the medicinal effects relatively intact.
The 70-year-old herbal medicine is free of any pollution and is picked by Zhan Xinyue herself, without any adulteration. Only such herbs can cure diseases immediately.
Two or three hours later, Zhan Xinyue let the medicine cool down a little and brought it to her grandmother.
"Grandma, the medicine is a little bitter. It would be better if you drink it all at once." Otherwise, it would be more bitter if you drink it slowly.
"Okay." The old lady held the bowl in both hands and drank it all in one gulp, looking very proud, as if she had just finished a glass of fine Maotai.
"It's not bitter at all." The old man smiled and said thank you, and washed the medicine bowl by himself.
After drinking it for three consecutive days, Zhan Xinyue took her pulse again and felt that her grandmother's liver qi stagnation had obviously eased a lot. Grandma was surprised to find that her eyes could see more clearly than before.
"Xinyue, it's a blessing for Tunan to marry you. Grandma never thought that you can really cure diseases."
The old man was so happy that he opened his mouth and blurted out everything he had in mind.
"Okay." Zhan Xinyue pretended to be angry, "It turns out that grandma lied to me before and didn't believe me at all."
The old lady was so frightened that she burst into laughter for a while, but in the end, Zhan Xinyue burst into laughter and then she realized that she had been fooled.
Many people have a misunderstanding that Chinese medicine needs to be taken for a long time, so the effect is slow. In fact, a truly symptomatic prescription takes three days to have a significant effect.
Zhan Xinyue is a good doctor, and the 70-year-old medicinal materials are natural and pollution-free with good medicinal effects. Grandma drank it for three days and the effect was obvious. The depression was relieved a lot, and she felt energetic. Today, she didn't sleep, her eyes were bright, and she couldn't sit still, so she sat in the yard to make cloth shoes for Zhan Xinyue.
Anyone who has worn cloth shoes knows that the thousand-layer soles made by local families are the best for feet.
Zhan Xinyue knew that her grandmother's depression was caused by overthinking. Now that she had something to do with her hands, she should focus on her needlework and stop worrying. It was good, so she didn't persuade her and said,
"Grandma, don't keep sewing the soles of your shoes. Look up from time to time and look at the green leaves and the sky. This is good for your eyes and cervical spine."
"I always listen to Xinyue." The old lady smiled like a sunflower: "Girl is still very caring. I am happy to have you by my side."
The future seemed to have hope. It would be nice to be able to take care of Zhan Xinyue's children in the future. Presumably, the children of her and Sheng Tunan would be very cute.
A hundred years later, when I go back to the past, I can tell my old man and three sons that their Sheng family is prosperous.
Over the years, everyone in their family has regarded Sheng Tunan as a real relative.
At the Sheng family, grandma and Zhan Xinyue are getting along well, and everything is moving in a good direction.
However, the Zhan family was in chaos. There were quarrels every day.
Just for the sake of money, Zhan Aiguo forced Zhan Hongyan to ask Li Jian for a betrothal gift every day.
Zhan Hongyan was not willing to go, but she stretched out her hand and said, "Dad, I don't want the 50 yuan from home. You have to give me the 20 yuan that the captain paid for it."
"What did you say? You wicked girl, that's it, that's it," Zhan Aiguo was so angry that he almost choked on his breath, pointing at Zhan Hongyan and cursing, "That's the money your mother earned from selling her body!"
"It's mine!" In order to get the 50 yuan for Li Jian, Zhan Hongyan risked everything and directly admitted: "It was me who was abused by Huang Jianjun that night, and that money must be given to me!"
