"Aunt Jiang, you are so angry. Who did you quarrel with these days?" Mu Huaixi sat under the parasol, holding the curly-haired aunt's wrist with his left hand and pushing the cradle where Xiao Huihui was sleeping with his right hand.
Aunt Jiang was the beauty of the alley next door. She had curly hair and wore a fashionable Dacron shirt. It was said that her husband was virtuous and her daughter was filial, but she was so angry that she felt dizzy and kept sighing.
"It's my damn daughter! After graduation, she was assigned to a newspaper in Haicheng, but she insisted on staying in Shengjing. Shengjing is so crowded now, how can we find her a job?" Aunt Jiang gritted her teeth and covered her face. "Oh my god, my teeth are swollen too! That damn girl is so mad at me!"
"Young people, you have a lot of ideas. Let's talk more." Mu Huaixi changed her hand to feel the pulse. "Auntie, don't be angry. Has your menstruation been less recently?"
"Yeah, I should be dead at my age." Aunt Jiang is retired. She especially likes to chat with people. She is Mu Huaixi's favorite person to talk to.
"There are many symptoms before and after menopause, you have to pay attention." Mu Huaixi withdrew his hand from taking the pulse, lowered his head and concentrated on prescribing a prescription, which scared Aunt Jiang.
"Xiao, no, Doctor Mu, isn't this just a toothache from anger? How can it be something else, pre- and post-menopausal symptoms? What kind of disease is this?"
"It's menopause," Mu Huaixi said, smiling as she handed over the prescription. "Think about it, you've had your period every month for decades. If it suddenly stops, your body won't be used to it. You might experience symptoms like palpitations, hot flashes, insomnia, and so on."
"These symptoms are all minor things, but like a toothache, they gradually become major issues."
Aunt Jiang understood immediately, "Then, what should I do?"
"Relax, have a good chat with your child, then take three doses according to my prescription, go to bed early and get up early, eat and drink well, and be happy, and you will definitely be fine." Mu Huaixi prescribed Zengfang Xiaoyao Decoction and added some liver-soothing and qi-regulating medicines.
When she mentioned menopause, the aunts, sisters-in-law, and other girls sitting next to her all felt the same way. One said she had menstrual pain, another said she was approaching menopause, and another said she couldn't eat or sleep well during pregnancy. In the end, they all sighed, "Why do women have to bear all these things?"
Mu Huaixi smiled. Perhaps because she was a woman, most of the people who came to her "Xinglin Miaoshou" to chat and see doctors were women.
Women have to take care of household chores, prepare meals, and take care of children. They are extremely busy, but since they are living together, there are bound to be bumps and bruises. When men are unhappy, they will call their friends for a drink. Women will at most go back to their parents' home to complain a few times. If their parents' home is really far away, they will find a friend to talk to, or just cry here.
There are very few families as harmonious as the Ying family. After all, few families can live alone in a mansion as big as the royal palace. Most of them have several generations squeezed into one or two rooms. They may bump into others when stretching. How can there be no friction?
The old saying "smells good from a distance but stinks up close" is exactly this truth.
Mu Huaixi couldn't solve these problems either. She could only persuade her aunts and sisters with words, "Don't be angry. If you get angry and become sick, no one can replace you. If he gets angry with you but you don't, you can live many more years than him, right?"
Her words caused a group of women nearby to burst into laughter.
"Xiao Mu is young, but he's very insightful!"
"It seems that Dr. Mu is not bullied at home. Women, you still have to be capable!"
Mu Huaixi listened to their chatter with a smile, without interrupting. She just sorted out today's medical records. When everyone had finished speaking, she spoke again, "Of course, you can't just not get angry about everything. If you encounter something serious, you can't endure it. Forbearance is harmful to your health. As the saying goes, take a step back for breast hyperplasia and endure uterine fibroids for a while. If you have anything to do, come here and hang out. Let's chat and relax. Don't cry alone at home."
Nowadays, there are not only parasols, tables, chairs, benches, watermelon tea, but also tires, wooden horses and other toys for children at the side door of the Ying family. If it weren't for the sign of Xinglin Miaoshou hanging on the tree on the side, it would almost look like a tea stall.
Mu Huaixi's summer vacation was leisurely and fulfilling.
She spent most of her time at the small clinic stall at the door, and the rest of her time was spent reading, organizing, summarizing and writing.
The last published article made her very enthusiastic. In the past two months, she compiled six manuscripts and submitted them all.
Mu Huaixi did not expect to make money from publishing, but she found that summarizing and generalizing like this could give her a deeper and more thorough understanding of the Six-Channel Syndrome Differentiation, and help her better distinguish how to use different medications for the same disease with different symptoms.
Before she knew it, Mu Huaixi had filled the eight-page notebook her grandfather had given her with her work. Her fame in the surrounding alleys had spread, and some people even came from the other side of Shengjing specifically to see her for medical treatment.
When the hibiscus flowers bloomed in the yard, she rode her bike to school again.
But after only three days of classes, he received news from Hua Yingbiao that Jiangcheng Military Hospital had begun mobilizing military doctors to go to the front line.
"Really?" Mu Huaixi didn't disbelieve Hua Yingbiao, but his sources of information were so diverse and varied that he often passed on messy news. This summer alone, he had mentioned the military doctor mobilization three times.
Hua Yingbiao patted his chest and assured, "It's guaranteed to be genuine!"
Mu Huaixi actually had a vague feeling. The last time she spoke to Ying Mingcheng on the phone, the other party had already started to give her a "vaccination", saying that there would be a big task coming up and she might not be able to go back for the New Year.
Hua Yingbiao was still discussing his analysis. "Hey, sister-in-law, do you think we should start working on that southeast corner? I heard from Jiangcheng that many of the medicines and items they're collecting need to be waterproof, and even food needs to be sealed. I even helped the cannery here produce a batch of canned salted fish a few days ago."
"The southeast corner?" Mu Huaixi was stunned for a moment before realizing what he was talking about. She shook her head and replied, "No, it should be the southwest corner. It's Ying Mingcheng and the others' turn."
"Southwest," Hua Yingbiao glanced at her in surprise, his expression suddenly changing. "Sister-in-law, you asked me to help you keep an eye on the news from the military doctor. Could it be..."
"Yes." Mu Huaixi did not hide it from him. Ever since she dreamed of Ying Mingcheng's previous life, she had been planning something - she was going to the battlefield, she was going to be a military doctor, and she was going to bring her man back safely.
There are too many changes in this life compared to the previous one, but the battlefield is changing rapidly. Even though she made obstacle-clearing pills and golden spear ointment, she still can't feel at ease. She is afraid that fate will not favor her again, that her lover will be left behind in the man-eating rainforest, and that she will regret it for the rest of her life if she doesn't go.
She was going, and she had to bring gold needles and medicine with her. In addition to saving Ying Mingcheng, she also had to save more people!
