Chapter 1004 Extra 2: Tell you a good news
Qiao Xi smiled and said, "Yes. Your rheumatism isn't particularly severe. It's just that you haven't taken good care of yourself during the recent rainy season, so it's become a bit more severe. Stick out your tongue again and let me see."
Zhao Zhongguo stuck out his tongue obediently.
Qiao Xi withdrew her hand and wrote down Zhao Zhongguo's symptoms on the pulse record.
"You usually like spicy food, right?"
"Oh yes, Doctor Qiao, how did you know that? Just by looking at it, do you know everything?"
"You can't eat spicy food anymore, at least not for the next three years. Your rheumatism is still manageable. I'll write you a prescription. You can go outside and pay the bill and someone will take you to the pharmacy to get the medicine. If you need it prepared for you, please let them know."
"Is that all?"
Qiao Xi looked up at him and said, "Of course it's not healed. This prescription is for internal use, and this one is for external use. If you have the conditions at home, buy a bathtub or a tub for bathing. This is a month's supply of medicine, and you must remember to come for a checkup when the time comes. During this period, you can't eat raw, spicy food, or high-fat or high-sugar food. You must control your diet and don't walk too much."
"I understand health preservation. I...I must remember what Dr. Qiao said."
"Remember to come for a checkup. Don't take it lightly. That's how minor illnesses can turn into major ones, you know?"
"Oh, I understand."
"If you have any questions, you can contact the front desk of our Chinese medicine clinic. If you look for me, the front desk will pass on the message." This is because some patients have to travel long distances, and Qiao Xi has no other choice but to try her best to provide them with convenience.
Zhao Zhongguo nodded quickly and walked out with the prescription.
There were volunteers outside teaching him how to operate and where to go to the pharmacy.
The service was excellent. He handed over the prescription and was asked if he needed it boiled. He quickly said yes, and the herbs were placed on the other side. Soon, a small stove belonging to him was lit.
"Why don't they use machines to boil the medicine here?"
"Doctor Qiao said that boiling medicine on a stove can better stimulate the medicinal properties. We apprentices have all received training. We start by identifying the medicine and memorizing the prescription, then go to the pharmacy to get the medicine, and then boil the medicine. Finally, once we are familiar with these processes, we can follow Doctor Qiao to see patients and learn."
Zhao Zhongguo nodded. No wonder there were a few greenhorns in Dr. Qiao's office.
Those people are Dr. Qiao’s apprentices.
Zhao Zhongguo looked around at the brightly lit Chinese medicine hall, and his heart also felt bright.
This trip was the right one!
The scenery in Haicheng is nice. He was thinking about renting a house in a remote suburb or small town, curing his rheumatism, and then returning to the capital?
Thinking of this, the idea was like a spark that began to spread like wildfire.
He immediately called his wife who was far away in the imperial capital and asked her to come to Haicheng with him. The old couple would stay here for a while to relax. Now that their son was married, their mission was considered completed.
Next, just take good care of yourself and enjoy life. Isn’t the purpose of life to pursue peace and happiness?
Zhao Zhongguo waited in the hall of the traditional Chinese medicine clinic for more than two hours, and the Chinese medicine was finally ready.
He took the Chinese medicine and went out happily. He felt that his legs didn't hurt anymore!
…
In the clinic.
I saw the last patient of the morning.
Qiao Xi stood up, rubbed her aching neck, and relaxed her legs. Only then did she feel better.
"Master, this is a call from the Imperial Capital. You were too busy with your consultations before, and your phone kept ringing. I'm following your instructions. Apart from Mr. Huo's calls, I won't answer any other calls while you're seeing patients. But this number has been called several times, and it shows it's from the Imperial Capital, but there's no note. Would you like to call back?"
Qiao Xi's most proud disciple is a top student from the medical school named Zhou Qing.
After graduation, she could have been assigned to a department in a good hospital, but she chose to come to the Chinese medicine hall to start as an apprentice. She came here three years ago and has been with her since she started seeing patients at the Chinese medicine hall, step by step to where she is today.
Qiao Xi has allowed her to handle some minor problems herself.
Qiao Xi took the phone and said, "Zhou Qing, you should go to the clinic next door to register for consultations starting next week. If you encounter anything you don't understand, come and ask me. You already have a solid foundation, and you've studied here for three years. You're very conscientious and meticulous in your work, and the next step is practical training."
"But I feel... I'm not good enough. I'm really worried that I'll delay the patient."
"I have to take this step. You've been doing great when you've been with me before. I'm very optimistic about you. Why don't you just share my burden? Besides, there are more and more patients. If I were to treat them alone, I don't know how long it would take. Their conditions can't wait."
Zhou Qing nodded when he heard this: "Okay, but I still need to study hard with Master. If you have any difficult or complicated cases in the future, Master must ask me to observe."
"knew."
Zhou Qing is not much younger than Qiao Xi, but he respects her as his young master very much and sometimes even regards her words as imperial decrees.
With Zhou Qing's help, Qiao Xi felt much more relaxed.
She watched Zhou Qing leave, then picked up her phone and took a look at the several missed calls from the imperial capital.
Qiao Xi called back.
Someone on the other end of the phone quickly picked up.
"Hello, is this Doctor Qiao Xiqiao?"
"It's me. You called me a few times before and I didn't answer. I wanted to ask if there is anything urgent?"
There was a flurry of activity on the other end of the line.
Qiao Xi even heard Shen Xuanzhi's voice.
Soon someone else answered the phone, "Hello, this is Shen Xuanzhi."
Shen Xuanzhi's familiar voice came from the other end of the phone, and a smile appeared on Qiao Xi's cheek unconsciously: "Shen Xuanzhi, long time no see. I almost forgot your voice. Congratulations on becoming the president of the Chinese Medicine Association."
Yes.
Not long ago, during the change of leadership, Shen Xuanzhi was promoted from vice president to full president.
Mr. Xiao retired because he was too old.
"You should know that the president's influence is not as great as it used to be. The Chinese Medicine Association is no longer a one-man show, but has become your management and service organization. I am only responsible for managing some trivial matters. Actually, I... I prefer to treat illnesses."
But Shen Xuan knew his own talent. He could not compare to Qiao Xi, and perhaps he would never be able to achieve such success in his life.
Moreover, he accepted the other path that fate had arranged for him.
Qiao Xi said softly: "Are you calling to tell me your good news?"
"It's just by the way. Guan Jingtan and I remarried. I took the initiative."
"Then... congratulations on finally letting it go." He let go of Huo Sijiao.
Shen Xuanzhi laughed and said, "When I was young and frivolous, I wanted to like someone but couldn't catch him. Now I realize that I actually need a suitable partner. But this time I'm not here to tell you my good news. I have good news for you too."
Qiao Xi asked curiously, "What's my good news?"
