Lu Hongjun asked someone to find out about an experienced Chinese doctor who was good at treating people's health. He made arrangements with Lu Jiaxin in advance and came to pick her up the next morning.

Lu Jiaxin originally wanted to ask Xue Mao to go with her, as the boy had been wandering outside for five years and his health was weak inside. But Xue Mao refused to go, saying that he didn't want to take Chinese medicine. Lu Jiaxin had no choice but to go with Lu Hongjun.

The old doctor's surname was He, and his temperament was just as amiable as his surname. He had done many favors to many people in the past few years. When he knew someone was going to harm him, he took the initiative to request to be transferred to the countryside.

More than 10 years ago, rural areas lacked medical care and medicine, and the government had been encouraging urban hospitals to support rural medical care. He took the initiative to go to the health center in his hometown, and the relevant departments quickly approved it. He has treated countless people in his hometown for more than 10 years. He is almost 70 years old, but he still has black hair and is energetic.

After checking Lu Jiaxin's pulse, the old doctor said that she was overly worried and depressed, and then her qi and blood were severely depleted: "Girl, you must take good care of yourself, otherwise it will affect your fertility and lifespan in the future."

She knew that she was suffering from insufficient qi and blood, and her hands and feet were very cold even in the summer, but she did not expect that this little girl actually suffered from depression.

She recalled carefully that her original self had been very depressed since Ding Jing came into the family. When she was bullied by Zhao Siyi and could not speak out, she even felt disgusted with the world and did not want to live anymore. These symptoms are indeed manifestations of depression. Alas, children from unfortunate families are indeed prone to psychological problems.

Lu Hongjun was terrified: "Doctor, my daughter is still young, please cure her."

The old doctor smiled and said, "As long as she is willing to follow the doctor's advice and take the medicine every day, she will be cured in about a year. However, her prescription requires two precious medicinal materials, and the cost is not small in a year."

If a woman cannot have children, her life is ruined. This time, Lu Hongjun said without hesitation: "No matter how much it costs, even if I have to sell everything I have, I will treat her."

Lu Jiaxin looked up at him, then quickly lowered her eyes.

Lu Hongjun asked again: "Doctor He, my daughter failed the college entrance examination this year. I want her to repeat the year. Can you tell me how long she needs to take the medicine before she can go back to school?"

Dr. He’s opinion was the same as that doctor’s. He felt that the intensity and pressure of study in the third year of high school were too high for Lu Jiaxin to handle given her current physical condition.

Lu Hongjun knew that it was impossible to repeat the year this month.

The old doctor lived in the suburbs, so it was not easy for him to come here, so he prescribed twelve prescriptions. When he handed them to Lu Jiaxin, he reminded her, "Come back for a checkup after taking the medicine, and I will adjust the prescription when the time comes."

"Thank you, Doc."

After leaving He's house, Lu Jiaxin asked about the tutor: "Dad, it's been three days, haven't you found a suitable one yet?"

She learned English quite well and could communicate with foreigners. But she originally learned dumb English, so her skill must have a source. These days, she learned English by following the tape recorder after getting up. However, with the guidance of an oral teacher, the two-pronged approach is more convincing.

Lu Hongjun said: "Your requirements are too high. It will take some time."

There are many excellent students in the Foreign Languages ​​College, but those who come from poor families and have to work as tutors to supplement their livings have all settled down early on; people from well-off families cannot do this either.

Lu Jiaxin said, "It's Sunday's housewarming party, come early."

"good."

Lu Hongjun has already made arrangements. When the time comes, Lu Jiajie and Ma Lili will bring the necessary things over and he will just have to go there to eat.

Because Ma Lili was an employee of the department store, the news that Lu Jiaxin was going to hold a housewarming party quickly spread throughout the staff quarters.

Ding Jing knew that he wanted to make fun of her, so she shook her head and said, "I don't know, Lao Lu didn't tell me."

"You are Xinxin's mother, how could you not know?"

This word "Mom" is full of irony.

Ding Jing secretly hated that when she entered the house, the girl didn't want to call her mom. She said she would give the child time to adapt to the situation in order to be magnanimous. However, she didn't expect that she failed to win her over, so that the girl has never called her mom until now. People in the family compound used this to attack her a lot before, and now it's even worse.

Aunt Xue pretended to be surprised and asked, "Hey, Xiao Ding, didn't Jiaxin tell you?"

Ding Jing ignored her and went upstairs in her high heels.

Aunt Xue made a sound of "Puh" and cursed, "You vixen, why are you putting on airs? You'll be struck by lightning sooner or later for doing such vicious things."

On Sunday, Lu Jiajie and Ma Lili came early in the morning. They brought not only chicken, duck, fish, pork belly, mutton and other dishes, but also fruits and various dried fruits.

After looking at the vegetables they bought, Lu Jiaxin and Xue Mao said, "Go to the market and see if there are any prawns and crabs for sale. If there are, buy some."

Her favorite foods are prawns and crabs. Now that early September is the season for eating crabs, she wants to enjoy them to her heart's content.

Lu Hongjun knew that she liked to eat prawns, so he explained, "Zhenzhen is allergic to shrimps. If we cook this, she won't be able to control her appetite and will have to go to the hospital again. Xinxin, if you want to eat it, I'll buy it for you in two days."

Xue Mao interjected, "Sister, I heard that when taking medicine, you can't eat irritating foods or cold foods. Shrimp is an irritating food, and crabs are cold. These foods will affect the properties of the medicine."

Lu Jiaxin thought for a moment: "The doctor didn't say anything?"

Lu Jiajie thought it was better to be cautious and not eat it, otherwise the medicine would be in vain: "Just bear with it for now, and you can eat whatever you want when your body is well."

As far as he knew, the medicine Lu Jiaxin took cost more than four yuan per set. If she took it for a year, the medicine alone would cost more than a thousand yuan. It was also because his uncle had a high position, not only did he have a good salary and benefits, but he could also make some money. If it were him, he wouldn't be able to afford it.

Lu Jiaxin gave up as soon as she heard this. Wasting money was one thing, but the most important thing was that the Chinese medicine tasted too bad. Every time she drank the medicine, she wanted to vomit, but she had to endure it in order not to take more medicine.

The chickens, ducks and fish were all bought alive. Lu Jiaxin wanted to work with Ma Lili, but unfortunately she was pushed out of the kitchen: "You go and take a rest. I, your fifth brother and Xue Mao are enough."

Lu Jiaxin couldn't persuade her, so she washed her hands, went into the house and took out White Rabbit milk candy, peanuts, melon seeds and red date cake for the two children to eat.

Xiaofeng is young, and her eyes light up when she sees the White Rabbit candies: "Aunt, you have so many candies here. Can I take two back home for my good friend to eat?"

Lu Jiaxin couldn't help but pinch her fair and round face, and said with a smile: "Of course. My Xiaofeng is really great. She knows how to share delicious food with her good friends."

Xiao Feng, who was praised, smiled widely, revealing her small teeth. As for Qiang Qiang, he was busy eating red date cake and had no time to talk.
