Chapter 1004 Extra 2: Tell you a good news

Qiao Xi smiled and said, "Yes. Your rheumatism is not particularly serious. It's just that you haven't taken good care of yourself during the recent rainy season, so it has become a little severe. Stick out your tongue again and let's 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 like spicy food, right?"

"Oh yes, Dr. Qiao, how did you know that? Just by looking at it, do you know everything?"

"You can't eat spicy food in the future, at least not for the next three years. Your rheumatism is still under control now, I'll write you a prescription, you go out and pay the fee and someone will take you to the pharmacy to get the medicine. If you need them to make a decoction 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, and this is for bathing. This is a month's supply of medicine, and you must remember to come for a checkup at the appointed time. During this period, you cannot eat raw, spicy food, or high-fat, high-sugar food. You must control your mouth and don't walk too much."

"Health preservation, I understand. I...I must remember what Dr. Qiao said."

"Remember to come for a follow-up check-up. Don't take it lightly. This is how minor illnesses are delayed and turn into major ones. Do you understand?"

"Oh, I see."

"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 provide them with convenience as much as possible.

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 very good. He sent the prescription over and someone asked him if he needed someone to boil the medicine for him. He quickly said that he did, so the herbs were put in another place and soon a small stove belonging to him was lit.

"Why don't you 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 been trained. From recognizing the medicine to memorizing the prescription, to getting the medicine at the pharmacy, and then boiling the medicine. Finally, after becoming familiar with these processes, we can follow Doctor Qiao to see patients and learn."

Zhao Zhongguo nodded. No wonder there were a few green hands in Doctor Qiao's office.

Those people are Dr. Qiao’s apprentices.

Zhao Zhongguo looked around and saw the bright Chinese medicine hall, and his heart also became bright.

This trip is the right one!

The scenery in Haicheng is nice. He was thinking whether he should rent a house in a remote suburb or town to cure his rheumatism before returning to the capital?

Thinking of this, the idea was like a spark that began to spread across the prairie.

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 stayed here for a while to relax. Their son was married, so their mission was 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 Chinese medicine clinic for more than two hours, and the Chinese medicine was finally boiled.

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 sore 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, so your phone kept ringing. I listened to you and will not answer any calls from anyone other than Mr. Huo while you are seeing patients. But this number has been called several times, and it says it is from the Imperial Capital, but there is no note. Do you want to call back?"

Qiao Xi's most proud apprentice is a top student from the medical school named Zhou Qing.

After graduation, she could have been assigned to a good hospital department, but she chose to come to the Chinese Medicine Hall to start as an apprentice. She came here three years ago, and I have been following her since the Chinese Medicine Hall started seeing patients, step by step to where she is today.

Qiao Xi has allowed her to take care of some minor problems herself.

Qiao Xi took the phone and said, "Zhou Qing, you can go to the next clinic to register for consultation starting next week. If you encounter something you don't understand, come and ask me. You already have a solid foundation, and you have studied here for three years. You are very serious and careful in doing things, and the next step is practical training."

"But I feel...I'm not good enough. I'm really worried that I might delay the patient's treatment."

"We have to take this step. You have been doing very well in my previous visits. I think highly of you. Why don't you share some of my burden? Besides, there are more and more patients. If I treat them alone, I don't know how long it will take. Their illnesses can't wait."

Zhou Qing nodded and said, "Okay, but I still need to study hard with Master. If you have any difficult problems in the future, Master must ask me to watch."

"knew."

Zhou Qing was not much younger than Qiao Xi, but he respected her as a junior teacher very much and sometimes even regarded 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 soon picked up the phone.

"Hello, is this Dr. Qiao Xiqiao?"

"It's me. You guys called me a few times before but I didn't answer. I wanted to ask if there's 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 Qiao Xi's face unconsciously showed a smile: "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, Shen Xuanzhi was promoted from vice president to full president.

Mr. Xiao has retired due to his old age.

"You should know that the position of president is not as important as before. The Chinese Medicine Association is no longer a one-man show, but has become a management service organization for you. I am only responsible for managing some trivial matters. In fact, I... I prefer to treat diseases."

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 lifetime.

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 was just by chance. Guan Jingtan and I remarried. It was my initiative."

"Then... congratulations on finally letting it go." Let go of Huo Sijiao.

Shen Xuanzhi smiled and said, "When I was young and frivolous, I couldn't find the one I wanted. 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 another good news for you to tell you."

Qiao Xi asked curiously, "What good news do you have?"
