Chapter 39 So That's It
Qin Ju is just a doctor, not a police officer. Since the patient and his family are unwilling to tell the truth, it is even more impossible for her to chase them and ask what disease they have. After all, the body belongs to Zhang Yuehong herself.
She has been very busy recently and has no time to take care of it. There are many people helping to plant the herbs. After a few days, the herbs were planted, and it happened to rain, which moistened the dry land. The herbs grew naturally. After seeing this, Professor Zhong felt relieved and prepared to return to the provincial capital. His business trip was long enough.
Since they didn't know when he would be able to come in again, Director Qian and the factory leaders naturally wanted to thank him and treat him to a meal.
Qin Ju was also called by Director Qian. They met in the small canteen in the factory. The chef cooked several dishes. It couldn't be compared with the banquets in later generations, but it was definitely more sumptuous than most people's New Year's Eve dinners in that era. In addition to the main dishes of braised lamb and a large plate of chicken, what was rare was that there was even a bottle of Xifeng wine!
Qin Ju herself could drink. In her previous life, Zhao Qingsong was often not at home, so she had to find something to entertain herself when she was alone at home. When she was in a good mood, she would have a half-cup of drink. As time went by, she developed her drinking capacity.
As the youngest person at the banquet, she naturally had to take the initiative to help pour the wine. When it was her turn, she also poured half a cup. This action surprised even the factory director, "Xiao Qin can drink?"
"A little, but I can't drink."
The young and beautiful lesbian was popular with both men and women. She spoke in a refreshing manner, so the leaders were impressed by her and asked her a lot about her situation.
Knowing that she is the lover of Xiao He who has made great achievements recently, they can't help but look at her with more respect. Although they won't say too many flattering words, they all know in their hearts that the future of this young couple will definitely not be simple.
"Xiao Qin, work hard. If you have any difficulties at home, you can report them to the factory. You should treat 412 as your second home."
"Okay, I'll follow your instructions and eat to my heart's content today!"
Everyone was amused by her. "Old Li, it seems that we are incompetent. How could we let these young comrades go hungry? I think we should grant them a larger private plot."
Following the deputy director's words, another person also said, "That's right. I think the land-for-work program implemented by Political Commissar Liu is very good. It has fully mobilized the enthusiasm of the masses."
Director Qian added a few words at the right time, and then pretended to be nonchalant, "When Xiao Qin proposed to exchange work for land, I thought it was feasible. This young comrade has broad ideas and dares to think and act, unlike us old people..."
"Was it Xiao Qin who proposed this idea?" Director Li looked at Qin Ju in surprise.
Qin Ju knew that Director Qian was intentionally trying to show off his abilities. After this incident of reclaiming the medicinal fields, he should have come to trust his abilities and wanted to push himself closer to the leadership.
Qin Ju naturally would not miss such an opportunity, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Yes, I also heard that the old ladies in our neighborhood often go to the desert to find food, so I boldly thought that if I had a private plot to grow vegetables, the old ladies would not go to the desert anymore."
Several factory leaders nodded repeatedly. They knew about the incident but there was no way to stop it.
"It seems that this private plot is a good idea." The factory director said thoughtfully, "In the future, we should listen more to the opinions and suggestions of young comrades. Progressive young people like Xiao Qin are rare talents."
Everyone present exchanged glances with each other, unable to conceal their surprise.
You know, Director Li rarely exaggerates, especially to young people. He calls them "progressive youth" and "rare talents", and the evaluation is really high. Is this some kind of signal?
Then he thought that Xiao He, who has made great achievements recently, is also a talented person, but he does not ask for promotion, wealth or salary increase, but only has that one request. The two grandparents and grandchildren who transferred their household registration are still relatives on Xiao Qin's side. The relationship between the young couple seems to be very good?
Such a young couple may have great fortune in the future!
Qin Ju looked around and listened to everyone's reactions, but she didn't show it on her face, just a few polite words. Soon the banquet started, she didn't drink big gulps, but sipped it in small sips. Every time the leaders wanted to add more wine, they saw that she still had some in her glass, so they just poured her some out of courtesy. In addition, she occasionally made witty remarks. With decades of life experience in the future, it was not difficult for her to say a few funny things.
Of course, her nickname "Little Hot Pepper" is not for nothing. She is very quick in both her brain and her mouth! Whether the leaders are talking about history, economy, culture or geography, she can always join in a few words at the right time. She can also bring up today's protagonist, Professor Zhong, and get him to say a lot more. Her performance throughout the whole process is both decent and not too exaggerated, so as not to make people feel that she is stealing the show.
After the meal, the leaders of Factory 412 all remembered the capable comrade Xiao Qin.
Of course, Qin Ju did not think that this was a social drinking party, because everyone present, whether the leaders or Professor Zhong, were very polite, and they talked about work and the future of the factory and Lenghe Town. There was no obscene jokes or scenes of forcing girls to drink that she had seen on TV.
It was part of the job and she embraced it.
At the same time, it is also a way for her to participate in society and democracy. Why wouldn't she like it?
When they had almost finished eating, the secretary and the factory director were the first to ask to leave, and everyone followed suit. Qin Ju stayed with Zhong Weimin until the end, and had planned to walk him back to the guesthouse. She was grateful to Professor Zhong from the bottom of her heart. It was his hard-working spirit that had made this medicine possible, and had also made her appearance tonight possible.
But Zhong Weimin was not someone who liked to hear nice words. After just a few words, he told Qin Ju not to send him off and that he could go for a walk on his own.
"Go back. Your child is still young and needs a mother."
Qin Ju felt soft in her heart when she thought of Dou Dou's well-behaved little appearance. She felt that kissing and hugging her every day would never be enough.
After walking for a while, I suddenly heard a flashlight from behind me and a steady and even sound of footsteps approaching. "Comrade Xiao Qin?"
"Why are you here?" Although Qin Ju was a little tipsy, she remembered that this man had gone out with the supply car to do some business.
"Let's go home and tell me when you go out next time." The man breathed a sigh of relief. He got home after dark, but she was not there. When he asked, he found out that she was out to entertain people. He immediately went to the canteen with a flashlight to wait for people.
In fact, he had been there for a while, but when he heard that the dinner was not over yet, he never went in.
Qin Ju didn't know, and then he talked about something else. Mr. Chen was going to Beijing next month to attend a very important ministerial meeting. "Does he specify that you go with him this time?"
He Liansheng shook his head, then thought that she might not be able to see clearly in the dark, so he said, "No, it's Zhao Qingsong."
Qin Jue said "Oh" and was not interested in Zhao Qingsong's affairs. In the past six months, there was only one thing she heard about him, which was a quarrel. The couple next door always quarreled, and Qin Jue was also very distressed.
"Mr. Chen asked me to stay in the factory to finish the final issues of the black and white picture tube technology improvement. Some foreign language materials need to be translated. This meeting may take some time, so I can come back to check on my work progress."
It seems that the reason why He Liansheng was left alone was to let him focus on his technology.
Well, it feels good to have two of us moving forward together.
Qin Ju's hand hung at her side, and she touched him vaguely, then he immediately grasped it, slowly interlocking their fingers.
When they both returned home, the water for foot washing was still hot in the pot. Qin Jue had just changed her outer clothes when he brought the water in. "Do you want to take a bath?"
Under the dim light, my wife's cheeks were flushed with a light red cloud, a color more beautiful than a rose.
"No, it's too late. Do you think I stink?"
Before He Liansheng could say anything, a childish voice suddenly rang out: "Stinky!"
The young couple was stunned and looked towards the bed. A pair of big dark eyes were looking at them.
What shocked them was not when the child woke up, but that she could actually speak!
"Doudou, can you please tell mom again?"
But Doudou had already turned his head, grabbed a corner of the quilt, and started playing by himself.
He Liansheng: “…”

When tender green seedlings sprouted from the yellow sandy land, Qin Ju passed the examination for practicing physicians with high scores and successfully obtained the certificate for practicing physicians of traditional Chinese medicine. Originally, in the future, with such a low starting point of education, she should only be able to take the examination for assistant physician first, and must have practiced for five years before she could take the examination for practicing physician. However, the new policy issued by the province now allows her to take the examination for practicing physicians directly as a medical and health personnel in a special area and special unit, which is considered a roundabout way to overtake.
Although she had passed the exam in her previous life, she was only an assistant doctor, so this time it was a great improvement. Qin Ju happily took the red and green books, and wanted to kiss them. These two lost certificates finally returned to her hands again, how great!
Just as I was thinking about it, a head suddenly popped in through the door.
"Doctor Qin, are you busy?" It was Zhang Yuehong again.
Qin Ju has been taken away by the mother and daughter for several days. I wonder what happened today. Could she be here to "see a doctor" again?
"No hurry, Sister Yuehong, come in, what can I do for you?"
After two months of recuperation, Zhang Yuehong's complexion became much more rosy and her spirits improved a lot. She smiled shyly, as if she had made a great determination, "I feel a little uncomfortable, I would like you to help me."
"Okay, sit down and close the door." It seems that she really wants to see the doctor, but I don't know if she will tell the truth this time.
"What's wrong?"
"I, I didn't have my period." Zhang Yuehong bit her lip, extremely shy.
Qin Ju was stunned. If a woman of childbearing age did not have her menstrual period, her first reaction would be pregnancy. But she was sure that was not the case with Zhang Yuehong. Not to mention whether she had any pregnancy reactions or not, she was a chaste woman and had no man, so how could she be pregnant!
"How long have you been here?"
"It's been...more than half a year..."
Qin Ju breathed a sigh of relief. It was exactly as he had thought. But the next second he wanted to sigh. This had reached the point of amenorrhea.
After looking at her carefully for a while, Qin Jue frowned - although some patients with amenorrhea are related to malnutrition, her complexion has improved a lot in the past few months, and it seems that her nutrition has also been improved. It would be a bit strange if she didn't come yet.
What's even more strange is her next sentence - "Also, I don't have any hair there."
Qin Ju was stunned. "Where are you talking about?"
"Right, right there, right below." Zhang Yuehong bit her lip and pointed to the location of her crotch.
Afraid that she was too young to understand, he explained in a low voice, "It's that place. Normal women like us have it, but I just, just..."
Qin Ju was stunned for only half a second. After all, she was a doctor, so she couldn't say she was surprised, just a little surprised. She didn't expect it.
"Sister Yuehong, do you mind letting me take a look?" This vague answer was not clear, so what if it was a misdiagnosis?
Zhang Yuehong's body tensed up and she shook her head like a toss, "No, no, it's so embarrassing and unlucky..." She seemed to be thinking of some bad memory, and her face turned red and white.
Qin Jue probably could have guessed it, because she said the three words "unlucky".
In some rural areas, her condition is called "white tiger". There is a feudal superstition saying that such women have a strong fate and are specifically unlucky for men. Some families are very taboo about it. But the fact is, this is all bullshit!
This situation can be physiological, where the person is born like this, just like how much hair or beard a man has, which is completely determined by genes. Of course, there are also pathological reasons, because some acquired disease causes the hair to not sprout or fall out... yes, fall out!
Qin Ju thought of the last time he saw Zhang Yuehong's half-bald head, and suddenly an idea came to him, "If you mind, I won't look at it, but I still want to take a look at your armpits, okay?"
Although Zhang Yuehong is still shy, her armpits are not that private by comparison.
I saw her take off her coat, revealing a patched shirt underneath. She then took off the shirt, revealing a white vest with more patches and yellowed from washing. She raised her arms - there was nothing in her armpits.
Qinji looked carefully and searched for it, but there was not a single one. However, the pores were coarser and darker than other places, indicating that they had grown there before.
"Sister Yuehong, put on your clothes. You used to have hair in these places, right?"
"Yes, it started to fall out seven years ago. The man behind me first said that I might have some serious illness, but when I went to the clinic, all the doctors were male and I was too embarrassed to show them. Later, I applied ginger but it didn't grow back. He scolded me for being an unlucky star, a death star, and someone who was specifically sent to bring bad luck to him..." Zhang Yuehong wiped away her tears, "In the past few years, even my hair has fallen out. I didn't dare tell anyone, not even my mother. She kept trying to arrange a marriage for me, but she didn't know which man would dare to marry someone like me."
"Wuwu..." She was sent to the clinic after fainting last time. She knew there was a female doctor with excellent medical skills, so she thought of giving it a try.
Qin Ju frowned slightly, "I've seen situations like yours before, and this isn't some unlucky star or a jinx at all."
Zhang Yuehong looked up, "Really?"
"Our teacher talked about it, and it's also introduced in the book."
Zhang Yuehong finally felt that someone could understand her, and hurriedly wiped her tears, "You won't tell anyone else about my situation, will you, Doctor Qin?"
Qin Ju didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She still had some professional ethics. "Put your hand over here. Let me check your pulse."
Although Zhang Yuehong's hands were dry and old, at least there was still some flesh on them, so she wasn't that severely malnourished. Her pulse was also calm, gentle, and strong, and didn't seem like she was severely malnourished...
"How's your appetite lately, Sister Yuehong?"
"It's very good. Everything I eat tastes delicious."
“Can you all eat enough?”
"Of course I can. My mother and I help you manage the medicinal fields. We get paid several yuan a month. My sister-in-law doesn't complain either, and we have enough food." Occasionally, he could eat a little meat, although not much, but it was still a good taste.
In fact, whole grains are the most nourishing. As long as you eat enough, your Qi and blood will be activated, and the symptoms of malnutrition will be significantly improved.
"What about pee and poop?"
“That’s normal.”
Qin Ju frowned, knowing that she would not get any useful information from this. "How was your period before? Was it light?"
"At the beginning, there were quite a lot of girls, and there were also quite a few with the man in front. It was later..."
"What happened next?"
Zhang Yuehong hesitated again.
Qin Ju was a little angry. It was already such a time and she still didn't want to tell the truth. If she had told her the truth a few months ago, the disease wouldn't have been delayed until now.
"It was later when I was having my baby, and I had a few surgeries, and then it gradually became less."
Qin Ju understood. In the Shilan dialect, "da wa wa" means miscarriage or abortion. "How many have you had?"
"Seven."
Qin Ju was drinking water, and when he heard the number, he almost spit out the tea.
