Chapter 16: Can she treat illnesses?
The eldest brother and his wife were married to my aunt, but their son and daughter look very normal. Both children are tall with long legs. The Han brothers are all tall and good-looking. The wives they married are all beautiful and good-looking, and their children are also good-looking. Especially the twins, a boy and a girl, of Huo Qingqing's family are simply stars in the village. The two children are called "little educated youth" by the villagers when they go out. Huo Qingqing has been teaching the two children to speak Mandarin and dress them neatly and beautifully. They are undoubtedly little educated youth.
But Huo Qingqing knew that the two children in her eldest brother's family were only falsely normal, that is, they looked normal in the eyes of the villagers, not stupid or crooked, but people with a little life experience could see the clues at a glance, and they were invisible people in the eyes of Huo Qingqing, a top doctor. How could the two children be more than just unhealthy? But the problem is very big. The daughter is slightly better than the son. The son’s problem is very serious. From the first two items of Chinese medicine's observation, auscultation, questioning and palpation, Huo Qingqing had already determined that her sister-in-law's son had fertility problems. But she could never say this out loud. He was already eighteen or nineteen years old, and it was probably an incurable problem. The child's grandparents and parents must be very clear about this.
If she could ask, Huo Qingqing would be able to completely determine Baolin's specific problem.
Just looking at the face of the eldest sister-in-law's daughter Baorong, Huo Qingqing felt that it was related to Xuerong. Congenital anemia was confirmed without a doubt, but the girl looked listless and lazy all day long, so there must be other problems.
My eldest sister-in-law's two children did not graduate from elementary school. They seemed to be very smart, but their brains were like a mess when it came to studying. They went back home after the third grade. My son is already earning work points, and my daughter is at home cooking and doing housework. She found her in-laws last year and will probably get married when she turns 18.
Everyone in the Han family looked gloomy and the problem seemed serious. Huo Qingqing asked the third sister-in-law, "Have you called a doctor?"
Sanshang doesn't like her mother-in-law. The old woman is partial to the eldest brother's family, so let her be partial to him! She curled her lips and said, "Because the old lady is so angry that she can't get up from the bed every other day, we used to live together, and she would always invite doctors to show her kindness, for fear of being accused of being unfilial. Now, who will invite a doctor for her? Who will pay for it?"
Huo Qingqing, "Who paid for it before?"
The third sister-in-law looked at Huo Qingqing as if she were a fool and said, "Go home and ask your husband!" Except for Han Laosi, who was truly filial, the others were only filial in words. Anyway, the fourth son was the most capable in the family, and the second son, who was a team leader, was not as rich as the fourth son.
Han Jianwu was indeed able to get money, bills and strange objects, but he was not stupid, and he would not have handed them all over to his family before. He had his own money, but after the family division this time, he renovated the broken house and bought new belongings, and cleaned up the backyard. Not only did he spend all his own savings, he also used some of Huo Qingqing's money and bills!
There was a lot of noise in the north room. The third sister-in-law was playing with Huo Qingqing's dragon and phoenix babies and her third child. She sat very still, as if she could not hear anything happening in the north room.
Huo Qingqing said, "Third sister-in-law, don't we really need to take a look?"
The third sister-in-law smiled beautifully, her eyes blooming like flowers, "Can't you see I'm busy looking after three babies!"
Huo Qingqing, "..."
The eldest brother yelled in the yard and asked people to go to the backyard to find the fourth brother to take the old lady to the commune's clinic in a horse-drawn carriage. Huo Qingqing and the third sister-in-law looked at each other, and the third sister-in-law asked Huo Qingqing, "I haven't seen the fourth brother all day today. Where has he been?" People rarely use horse-drawn carriages on rainy days! On rainy days, the work usually involves cleaning out livestock manure or pig pens. Han Jianwu would never go out to earn those work points. It would be strange if Huo Qingqing would let him in if he came home smelly.
Huo Qingqing said, "He went to the county town."
The third sister-in-law said, "Go out and tell the eldest brother that the fourth brother is not in the room. Don't worry about what they are doing."
Han Jianwu went to the county town today not only to send a telegram to Huo Qingqing's family, but also to do a lot of his own things. He has a comrade-in-arms near the county town who does some business back and forth between the city and the county town. Han Jianwu has also joined him recently. He plans to get goods from his comrade-in-arms and trade them at the commune's big market. This is a legitimate business and does not count as speculation as long as the items are allowed to be traded at the big market. This time he also brought some medicinal materials that Huo Qingqing got to his comrade-in-arms, and his comrade-in-arms has channels to help them sell them.
Now that the family has split up, he has become independent. He has a wife and children to support, and he can't always rely on Huo Qingqing for the babies' milk powder and malted milk. She will leave here sooner or later anyway.
Huo Qingqing had seldom interacted with her eldest brother and his wife before, but now she could no longer avoid them. She handed the child to her third sister-in-law and went out and said, "The fourth brother is not at home. What happened?"
The eldest brother ignored Huo Qingqing with a gloomy face, and said to the eldest sister-in-law who was spinning around anxiously, "The baby's nanny fainted. He looks very dangerous now."
Huo Qingqing said, "Didn't you go to the medical station to see a doctor?"
"The doctor didn't come today." The doctor was from the next village. He was too lazy to climb the slope on rainy days. Anyway, this collective big pot meal was just a way to get by. People just do farm work to get by, work in drug stores, medical stations, sales outlets, and even as school teachers, they all just do it to get by and get work points. Who would really work hard? Everyone is afraid of suffering losses.
Huo Qingqing, "Let me see?"
The eldest brother who stepped into the threshold of the north room turned his head and asked, "Can you treat illnesses?"
Huo Qingqing said, "It's okay."
Rural people still have a filter for these educated city people. They think that these young people from the city all have some fancy skills. After all, they have seen more than farmers!
"Why don't you say something earlier?" the boss said fiercely.
Huo Qingqing didn't want to waste time talking to him, so she said, "I'll go home and get the medicine box."
Everyone who heard it was shocked. She actually had a medicine box?
Of course, Huo Qingqing's medicine box was not a real medicine box. It was just a small leather suitcase similar to a medicine box that she bought in the county town.
The old lady was lying on the kang, rolling her eyes and foaming at the mouth. She was stiff and looked quite scary. The eldest son's wife and the fifth son's wife were serving her. As soon as she saw Huo Qingqing, Liu Chunyan became sarcastic and only shut up after her sister-in-law glared at her.
Everyone found that the things in Huo Qingqing's box were quite complete, but why hadn't they seen her treating patients in all these years?
That's right. In the past few years, her relationship with the fourth brother has been bad. She always has a cold and resentful face, as if the old Han family owes her something. Naturally, no one wants to pay attention to her, and she doesn't want to pay attention to anyone in the old Han family.
The old lady's philtrum was pinched until it turned red, but she still didn't wake up. Huo Qingqing felt her pulse and took out a silver needle. After three injections, the old lady woke up.
After examining Han's mother, Huo Qingqing discovered that the old lady had a bad heart, shortness of breath, and many other ailments. If she stopped worrying about them, they might be better, but she had no time to think about the eldest son's family right now, so it was impossible for her not to worry about them.
He took out a bottle of pills and gave the old lady a few pills, leaving the rest to her, saying, "I only have this finished medicine here, take it first. Given her physical condition, it would be best if she had an injection for a few days."
Everyone knows that the current drip is very effective, but who will pay for it? Everyone now automatically thinks that the fourth brother is rich and can make money himself, and his wife also has money to lend to her mistress, the educated youth, so she lent so much money at once and didn't give it to them to use.
Liu Chunyan asked sarcastically, "You can treat illnesses, so why do you never care or ask when someone in your family is sick?"
Huo Qingqing didn't even bother to look at Liu Chunyan and said, "It's useless to see a doctor if I don't have any medicine. That's one reason. Second, I'm worried that someone will report me for treating others privately. My mother-in-law is in critical condition today, so I have no choice but to do this."
