"I have been relying on the medicine prescribed by Chuanbai to suppress the pain. This time the medicine ran out and I was delayed on my way back to Beijing. Recently, the pain in my lumbar spine recurred again."

"There are ways to relieve the pain, and it's not impossible to cure it. I have a set of acupuncture points that can completely eliminate your lumbar pain, but your old injury is very serious, so it will take about half a year to heal."

"In the first two months, I need acupuncture twice a week, and then it will depend on the recovery situation."

"If you want to relieve the pain, I have a massage method that is very effective."

Lu Baiwei explained: "Teacher Gu told me that your cervical spine is also leaning forward to a certain extent, which causes dizziness and lack of energy. That's because the lumbar spine can't bear the pressure, resulting in scoliosis."

"Once acupuncture takes effect, these symptoms can be alleviated or even cured."

"What I mean is that your main problem is concentrated in the lumbar spine. The old injury to the lumbar spine has caused other problems."

Through gloves and clothes, Lu Baiwei gently pressed the painful spots on his injuries.

"If there is a problem with this part, it will lead to lesions related to the entire spine, and even cause lower-jiao deficiency heat, kidney deficiency, and respiratory diseases such as coughing."

Lu Baiwei had predicted all his problems. Lu Yuanze looked at Gu Chuanbai, meaning that the person Gu Chuanbai introduced was correct this time. This classmate Lu seemed to be good at bone setting and treating injuries from falls.

Although she is young, she is very proficient in medical skills. Lu Yuanze immediately looks at Lu Baiwei with a higher opinion of her.

In front of the doctor, he is just a patient.

Lu Yuanze temporarily put aside his status and was very humble.

"Student Lu, I'm going to have to trouble you to take care of my old lumbar injury."

"Comrade Lu, you are wrong. You should say thank you to Teacher Gu."

Aunt Miao, who had opened the door for her and Gu Chuanbai before, had been watching from the side since she brought in the tea. Lu Baiwei knew that she was being supervised.

Lu Baiwei went to the patient's home to treat the disease, but was treated so unfriendly. How could she accept the cold shoulder?

She doesn't lack the money from seeing patients.

Lu Baiwei also has a temper.

Her good upbringing and quality allowed her to give Gu Chuanbai some face and not get angry with him.

Lu Yuanze looked at Lu Baiwei in confusion.

Lu Baiwei responded with a smile: "Teacher Gu is also good at acupuncture. I will teach him the acupuncture method for treating the lumbar spine."

"Then he will teach you the massage technique to improve the pain from your old lumbar injury."

She demonstrated the key points of massage to Gu Chuanbai through his clothes. After teaching Gu Chuanbai the key points of massage, Lu Baiwei began to teach him acupuncture methods.

"Select the acupoints of Shenshu, Qihaishu, and Dachangshu. If the back pain is severe, add Shuixi, Houxi, and Jinggu. Then acupuncture the tender point beside Huangtu, and Dazhong acupoint..."

Gu Chuanbai was very surprised that Lu Baiwei would teach him a set of acupuncture methods to treat lumbar spine.

He took the silver needle and pierced Lu Yuanze's acupuncture points one by one. Lu Baiwei reminded him of the key points: "When acupuncture these acupuncture points, in addition to paying attention to the method of tonifying and relieving diarrhea, you must also pay attention to the vibration of the needle to achieve the therapeutic effect."

"If there are any changes in Comrade Lu's condition, we can discuss how to change the acupuncture points."

"Okay, Teacher Gu, you can acupuncture these acupoints for Comrade Lu. Leave the needles in for half an hour. Comrade Lu, you are here. Teacher Gu, I just have to go to Wangfujing to look after the shop for Shiweiji, so I'll leave first."

"Student Lu Baiwei."

"Student Lu..."

Gu Chuanbai and Lu Yuanze were about to ask her to stay, but Lu Baiwei smiled apologetically, said she was busy and left.

As soon as Lu Baiwei left, Lu Yuanze looked at Aunt Miao who was standing beside him and her face turned black.

"Have you had enough of staring?"

Lu Yuanze looked annoyed: "Did Zhang Yulan ask you to come in and keep an eye on people?"

"No, no, Yuanze, you misunderstood. I'm just worried about whether your old injury can be cured. Besides, Yulan is worried about you too."

"I won't tell you anymore. I'll go tell Yu Lan that there's hope that your back injury can be cured."

Under Lu Yuanze's gaze, Aunt Miao retreated guiltily.

After Aunt Miao left, Lu Yuanze said to Gu Chuanbai, "Chuanbai, I'm sorry to make you laugh."

"This is also unfair to Mr. Lu."

What can Gu Chuanbai say?

It was Zhang Yulan who asked him to find someone to treat Lu Yuanze's chronic illness. Now that he has invited that person, Zhang Yulan actually said some nonsense because Lu Baiwei is a lesbian.

He knew very well that if Lu Baiwei hadn't done it for his sake, she would have left long ago, and would not have been so generous as to teach him a set of acupuncture methods for treating the lumbar spine.

Is this still the sister Yu Lan who is the most helpful, gentle and quiet in his impression?

This was the first time that Gu Chuanbai didn't recognize Zhang Yulan.

He couldn't say bad things about his wife in front of Lu Yuanze!

Gu Chuanbai could only reply dryly: "Brother-in-law, Sister Yu Lan may care about you too much."

Wouldn’t this kind of care be suffocating?

Only he himself knew the feeling, and Lu Yuanze didn't know what to say for a moment.

He changed the subject: "Chuanbai, what's the matter with classmate Lu just saying that he was busy going to Wangfujing to look after the shop for Shiweiji?"

"Brother-in-law, Shiweiji was opened by classmate Lu. She was the first one to do physical economy. I was the one who found all the medicinal materials used in Shiweiji's marinade for her."

"It was also because of the success of Shiweiji that the leaders decided to liberalize the individual economy."

After hearing what Gu Chuanbai said, Lu Yuanze knew why Lu Baiwei looked familiar.

He muttered to himself, "I've seen her in the newspaper. No wonder she looks familiar."

Thinking of his wife Zhang Yulan's disrespect towards a young girl, and in order to avoid suspicion, she generously taught Gu Chuanbai the ancestral acupuncture method for treating lumbar vertebrae, asking him to help treat her.

She did not walk away because of the Lu family's rudeness. Lu Yuanze saw the potential in Lu Baiwei.

And what is the relationship between He Ting and Shen Junze, who are accompanying the Ministry of Commerce on the inspection this time, and this classmate Lu?

The old comrade asked He Ting and Shen Junqian to accompany the Ministry of Commerce on an overseas inspection, saying that they were pioneers of individual economy and that they should follow the inspection to learn from the excellent experience of foreign countries in economic development.

Yes!

They went on an overseas inspection trip together. He Ting said that Shiweiji was started by several classmates from Kyoto University who pooled their money to open a shop together.

Knowing that Lu Baiwei and He Ting are partners, and that Lu was probably the student from the countryside where He Ting went to study and was admitted to Kyoto to study at university, Lu Yuanze felt that his wife Zhang Yulan's behavior today was extremely rude.

In order to compensate Lu Baiwei and He Ting, Lu Yuanze asked, "Chuanbai, have you encountered any difficulties in running Shiweiji?"

"It doesn't seem to be difficult, brother-in-law."

"On the way here just now, classmate Lu Baiwei told me that Shiweiji's business is doing very well. In order to develop Shiweiji, we need to expand the store in Wangfujing and develop some kind of franchise chain."

"I don't understand either. What does she mean by franchise chain? Classmate Lu mentioned it to me a few times, but I didn't quite understand it."
