Ma Guangnian agreed and quickly issued the request.

Starting tomorrow, everyone who goes out to see patients must carry protective clothing with them.

There is a limited supply of protective clothing, so those who carry it must keep it carefully and be careful not to lose it.

After half a month of busy work, Academician Li's research project was temporarily completed, and Jiang Ning and Ma Guangnian went to Guangdong City Plaza to see patients.

Not knowing when the acid rain would come, Jiang Ning did not dare to take it lightly. She asked Ma Guangnian for leave, saying that something happened at home and she would need to take a few months off after the seeing patients.

She was not a staff member of the research institute, and it was already very good that she had the perseverance to persist in learning. Ma Guangnian readily agreed, "Don't forget to consolidate your knowledge when you go back. You can come back anytime to ask if you don't understand something."

The weather was sultry, and several people went out to Guangdong City Plaza early.

The radio broadcast sounded, and the relevant official departments predicted that due to the influence of air currents, it might rain in the next few months. The air was affected by volcanic ash for a long time. Once it rained, it would most likely be acid rain. Citizens were advised not to go out unless necessary, to bring protective equipment when going out, and not to stay outdoors for too long.

The news was reported in the morning, noon and evening, reminding citizens at all times.

Jiang Ning, Ma Guangnian and others set up a stall on the first floor of the square in the scorching heat. Since they could only come once every half a month, there were quite a lot of people coming to see a doctor.

The research institute is not a charity foundation. Medical treatment is charged. Each patient is charged two taels of food, and acupuncture and massage are charged separately. Elderly people over 60 years old and children under five years old are free.

If the research institute has medicine, the doctor will also write a prescription according to the patient's condition, and they need to take the prescription to pick it up themselves.

Medicines are in short supply, and doctors won't prescribe unnecessary medicines.

The weather is as hot as a furnace, and patients keep coming in, some suffering from heat stroke, some lacking vitamins, some lacking oil and salt, some lacking various mineral elements...

Natural disasters continue to torture humanity, and physical problems are endless, and all kinds of problems have come out.

Jiang Ning was so busy that he was sweating profusely, and he wanted to go into the space to turn on the air conditioner or get some ice watermelon, but the reality was that he was so busy that he had no time to rest, and occasionally he could only steal a few sips of ice water in the thermos to quench his thirst.

After finally getting through a wave, just when he was about to take a break, another patient came over, "Doctor, please take a look at the child."

The voice sounded familiar, and when he looked up, it turned out to be Zhong's mother, holding a child in her arms.

The child is over one year old, and it should be the one that Xiao Min exchanged her life for.

"Xiao Jiang?" Zhong's mother was surprised. She didn't expect to meet her in Yuecheng.

After not seeing her for almost two years, Zhong's mother has aged a lot. Not only is she haggard, but she also has white hair.

Jiang Ning nodded and said, "Is the child sick?"

Zhong's mother said anxiously, "The child has no appetite. He didn't eat much, but his stomach is bloated badly."

It's okay for adults to suffer, but children are particularly fragile .

Unfortunately, there is no doctor in Fengcheng, so they can only rush to Yuecheng to find one. I hope everything is fine. This is the child that Xiao Min exchanged her life for, and there can't be any mistakes.

"Don't worry, let me take a look."

Jiang Ning brought the child over. His eyes were timid and afraid, and his body was struggling slightly. "Grandma."

Judging from his reaction, his intelligence was not affected, which was a blessing in disguise.

"Don't be afraid, Xiaobao." Zhong's mother comforted him softly, "Aunt is a good person. She was the one who saved you. Be good and call me aunt."

The child was naive and nervously pulled his grandmother's sleeve, looking at Jiang Ning with dark eyes.

He was still relatively obedient, "Aunt."

Jiang Ning smiled and took out a stale candy from his pocket.

The child had never seen candy before. He glanced at his grandmother and took it after getting her consent.

Pediatric diagnosis and medication are different from those for adults. Jiang Ning did not have much experience in this area, so he deliberately switched places with Ma Guangnian.

Since the natural disaster, the survivors have not had enough food or warm clothes, and many women of childbearing age have stopped menstruating, let alone giving birth.

The fertility rate in recent years has been frighteningly low.

Ma Guangnian carefully examined the child. "No big problem. It's a common pediatric case of bloating. The weather has been hot recently and children tend to have a poor appetite. Feed them something that is easy to digest. Don't force them to eat if they don't want to. Just eat small meals frequently."

It's not convenient for children to be injected with needles, so Ma Guangnian asked Jiang Ning to give the child acupuncture points massage.

Zhong's mother asked nervously, "Can you prescribe medicine?"

Ma Guangnian counseled, "The situation is not serious, there is no need to prescribe medicine. Let Dr. Jiang teach you a few simple massages later. Observe for a few days first."

He told Jiang Ning the massage points and continued to work.

Jiang Ning found that the child had prickly heat. "The weather is too hot. Covering the child too much will make him sick. Just do it appropriately."

She gently massaged the child's acupuncture points while letting Zhong's mother learn beside her.

Xiaobao's IQ is fine, but a child born in the end times is short of food and drink, so how can his health be good?

The Zhong family's life is better than that of ordinary people, but not much better. The child is malnourished, and it is estimated that illness is commonplace.

Raising this child may have emptied the family.

Jiang Ning told Zhong's mother about common pediatric diseases, as well as treatment methods and massage methods. As for how much she can understand, it depends on herself.

"Is Grandma Zhong okay?"

"My health has been a little worse in the past two years, but it's still okay."

Every family has its own problems, so Jiang Ning didn't chat too much.

After the massage, the child's stomach was not so bloated, and Zhong's mother was relieved and took out food from her bag.

As money is not to be exposed, Jiang Ning immediately stopped them and said, "The child's medical treatment is free. You can go back and take care of him slowly and observe for a few days. Take the child home as soon as possible. The weather is very hot and humid these days. It will be troublesome if it rains on the road."

The weather bureau said that acid rain might fall. The Zhong family worked in a scientific research unit, so they naturally knew about it.

"Xiao Jiang, thank you." Zhong's mother hurriedly left with the child.

Several people continued to be busy, and they had coarse grain steamed bread and black moss soup for lunch.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, there was a sudden commotion outside, "It's raining, it's raining!"

Jiang Ning stomped his tongue. Acid rain is coming!

She stood up suddenly and quickly put the medical money into her bag. This was the operating fund of the Chinese Medicine Research Institute. If someone took advantage of the chaos to steal it, it would be troublesome. She

moved so fast that Ma Guangnian and others were stunned.

Xiao Jiang's family is well-off, how come he is like... a starving ghost.

Several people were not idle either, and they started to clean up.

Raindrops as big as beans fell on the faces and bodies of pedestrians, and they shouted and ran quickly into the square to take shelter from the rain.

Some panicked and even wiped the rain off their faces with their hands.

It's over, it's over, my face is ruined!

Eh, I don't feel anything.

I rubbed it, but still didn't feel anything.

I got brave enough and put it in my mouth to taste it, and it didn't taste sour.

The Meteorological Bureau is talking nonsense, it's just volcanic ash, but they make it seem like sulfuric acid is being thrown, making everyone nervous.

What a mess!
