Xu Xingguo was so surprised that he lost his composure, his mouth wide open enough to fit an egg in it:
"You just learned this last year, and now you dare to give someone an acupuncture needle?"
Su Yuhe smiled meaningfully, "Yes, Xiaoxu is still my first patient."
Xu Xingguo swallowed, thinking, wow, his son was so lucky.
However, if he had known from the beginning that Su Yuhe had just started learning, he might not have allowed Su Yuhe to give Xiaoxu acupuncture.
Xiaoxu was so excited when he saw Su Yuhe that he almost jumped up: "Sister Su! Sister Su! You finally came to see Xiaoxu."
Su Yuhe rubbed his head and said, "Yes, come and see Xiaoxu. Xiaoxu seems to be taller than when we first met."
Xu Xu pulled Su Yuhe to the door of his house and pointed at the pencil marks on the door frame: "Sister Su, look, I'm so much taller."
Su Yuhe smiled and said, "Oh, it's really high. Let me take your pulse and see how it is."
Xu Xu automatically extended his hand without saying anything.
Ji Shanfang washed a plate of grapes and saw Su Yuhe carefully taking Xu Xu's pulse. She stopped herself from saying anything for fear of disturbing Su Yuhe.
After three or five minutes, Su Yuhe asked Xiaoxu to change to the other hand. After checking, Su Yuhe had a better idea in her mind and then looked at Xiaoxu's tongue coating condition.
Pretty good.
"Xiao Xu is in good condition. He shouldn't have had a relapse, right?"
Ji Shanfang nodded quickly. "Yes, it's all thanks to you. Old Xu said you were coming over today, so I told him to have you over. My relatives brought some grapes. Come and try some. They're in season now, and they're so sweet."
Su Yuhe looked at the dark purple and round grapes with white frost on them, they looked very sweet!
What a nice family! They even have grapes.
Su Yuhe pinched one and tasted it. It was extremely sweet: "This grape is really delicious."
"If it tastes good, eat more," Ji Shanfang smiled, "I'll bring you a small box later."
"Oh, thanks." Su Yuhe felt a little embarrassed. She thought it was the grape season, so she would go to the department store to see if they had any. She would rather spend some money herself than take Ji Shanfang's.
Ji Shanfang pretended to be unhappy: "You kid, it's just a few grapes, grown by my relatives. I have some extra, so just take them if you want."
She asked again: "Should Xiaoxu continue to take his medicine?"
"Yes, but I'll write you a new prescription. This time it's mainly for conditioning, so you don't need to take the previous medicine for too long."
Ji Shanfang handed Su Yuhe a pen and paper, and watched Su Yuhe write down the prescription in beautiful handwriting.
She couldn't help but sigh: "I also saw a Chinese doctor when I was a child, and the prescriptions were usually not shared with others. You are really honest, kid."
Su Yuhe smiled without saying anything. After finishing her writing, she put down her pen and said, "I've also written down some food recipes that are suitable for Xiaoxu. If you spend more time on it, it can be considered a dietary therapy and will be good for Xiaoxu's health."
"Hey." Ji Shanfang smiled happily and said to Su Yuhe, "Xiaoxu will be able to go back to school in September this year. I can finally put my mind at ease."
When it comes to going to school, Dandan is old enough.
Su Yuhe almost forgot about this.
There is no primary school in the village, only in the commune. Children from several villages go to school there, and the teachers there are educated youth who have been sent to the countryside from the city.
Being a teacher is better paid than working as an employee, is less tiring, and doesn't require exposure to the sun and rain. It is a popular job among rural workers.
Whenever there is a vacancy, it is fiercely sought after.
Su Yuhe did not join in the fun. To be honest, it would be better for her to focus on the black soil beneath her feet than to take care of a bunch of children.
Because she had to take a bus back to the county town, Su Yuhe didn't stay at the Xu family for long. When she left, she didn't mention anything and planned to just leave.
Unexpectedly, Ji Shanfang still remembered it. She waited for Su Yuhe to get in the car with a box of grapes in her hand and stuffed it into her hand: "Come to our house to play again next time."
Uncle Liu took Su Yuhe to the station. When she got off the bus, Su Yuhe tried to drop some grapes on the bus, but Uncle Liu noticed her and said, "Hey, Miss Su, these are given to you by the Madam, so just take them! If I take them back, it would be considered a mistake at work, and not only the Madam, but the Madam would also scold me."
He added, "These are really grown by Madam's relatives. I have some too."
Su Yuhe then accepted it, not wanting to embarrass Uncle Liu.
I took the bus back to the county town, and as soon as I got off the bus, I saw Jiang Lin standing at the station door looking for the bus coming from the city.
Seeing Su Yuhe, his eyes lit up and he strode towards her.
Su Yuhe's lips curled up unconsciously. After a few steps, Jiang Lin arrived in front of her. Her eyebrows curved and she asked, "How did you know I would come back at this time?"
Jiang Lin: "Just these few trains."
Noticing she was carrying a box, Jiang Lin took it and asked, "What is this?"
"Grapes, Madam Ji insisted on giving them to me."
"Just take it if you give it to me." Jiang Lin said to Su Yuhe, "Let's go home first."
Jiang Lin bought some vegetables at the free market, so the two of them went straight back to Dajiang Village.
"What's the patient's illness today?"
Su Yuhe climbed onto Jiang Lin's shoulders and said, "Heart and lung problems, bronchitis and coronary heart disease."
Jiang Lin was a little confused: "What kind of disease is this? It's related to the heart. Is it serious?"
"That person is an old lady. She is elderly and a bit dangerous."
Jiang Lin said "oh" and didn't ask any more questions.
Back home, Su Yuhe rolled up her sleeves and prepared to cook, but Jiang Lin chased her away: "You've been busy all day, I'll just go and help Mom."
Su Yuhe nodded and was called over by Shi Kangyuan again.
"What's wrong, Grandpa Shi?"
Shi Kangyuan gave Su Yuhe a thread-bound book that she had never seen before. The gray-blue appearance showed that it was very old, and one could smell the dusty scent when holding it in the hand.
Su Yuhe flipped through a few pages and saw that they were all patterns of human bodies in various shapes, with annotations.
She took a quick look and also touched upon acupuncture points.
But she knew that this was not an acupuncture book, and Shi Kangyuan had shown Su Yuhe all his acupuncture books.
"What is this?" Su Yuhe asked when she couldn't understand it.
Shi Kangyuan stroked his beard and said, "This is massage, and it's also a craft."
Massage?
This is something Su Yuhe has never encountered before.
Shi Kangyuan saw that she was a little confused, and finally felt like a master again. He slowly and methodically explained to Su Yuhe the origin of massage...
After he finished speaking, he picked up the enamel teacup beside him and took a sip of boiled water.
Su Yuhe still had a vague understanding after hearing this: "So this massage can also be considered a method of treatment?"
"It's okay if you think so. Massage is also part of Chinese medicine. Some people have opened large shops just by relying on this skill. I'll teach you a massage technique to relieve fatigue. You can try it on Jiang kid tonight."
Shi Kangyuan snorted, "Jiang has been very irritable lately. Let him calm down. Also, he always goes out in the middle of the night. The old lady and Xiao Ye don't know, but I know everything. Take care of yourself. You can't make enough money. Don't work so hard."
