Chapter 22 022 Uncle Xu saw it & Is it because he urinates too much or...
"What's wrong Jin Yue? Is he... not feeling well?" Feng Chunxia suddenly became nervous. Although she knew that she would probably not get better, Jin Yue's expression made her heart sink to the bottom.
For a moment, when she heard that Jin Yue could cure difficult and complicated diseases, she also had a fantasy that maybe she could become that lucky person.
Jin Yue was stunned for a moment, then realized that his expression had caused her trouble, and quickly explained: "It's not Sister Chunxia's fault, I just suddenly remembered that I forgot to ask for a receipt when I sent the document just now, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain if the leader asks about it."
She spoke with such conviction that Feng Chunxia had no doubts and breathed a sigh of relief. "Why don't you go get the receipt first? My business is not urgent."
Jin Yue shook his head, "No need. At worst I can go back tomorrow morning. Everyone over there is out doing business. I won't be able to get it if I go now."
Feng Chunxia said "Oh", she didn't have any important work in the official newspaper, and she was not assigned any interview tasks. The most she could do was an easy job like text editing. She seldom dealt with outside units, and she really didn't understand these things.
"Sister Chunxia, besides headache, thirst, and frequent urination, do you have any other symptoms now?"
Feng Chunxia thought about it and shook her head.
Some patients are like this. They feel uncomfortable all over at home and have a lot of symptoms, but when they face the doctor, they always can't remember them. Only when they leave the clinic do they regret not telling them about those symptoms.
When facing such patients, Jin Yue likes to ask questions based on the pulse: "Sister Chunxia, think about it again. Is your stool dry and difficult to defecate recently? Is your breath bad? Do you have a lot of eye mucus when you wake up in the morning?"
Feng Chunxia shook her head, "No, I have bowel movements once a day, and they are neither dry nor watery."
Jin Yue thought about it, "Do you still feel hot now?"
"It's not hot at all, just cold. I feel cold even to the bones. Several doctors said I caught a cold during the postpartum period and it's not fully healed yet."
You see, all her subjective symptoms are opposite to her pulse. But if we say that she is suffering from deficiency of body's body and excess of evil or hyperactivity of yang, her mental state does not seem to indicate that.
Jin Yue even doubted whether she had taken the pulse correctly. She put her hand on it again and took it for ten minutes. Whether she took the pulse from the surface or from the bottom, it was a strong pulse, a genuine strong pulse.
"What's wrong? Am I really not feeling well?" Feng Chunxia asked cautiously, hoping that Shu Jinyue, as a doctor, could give her a negative answer.
However, Jin Yue just told the truth: "It's not good or bad, I need time to think about it, how about Sister Chunxia go home and rest for a while, I will come to you later?"
Feng Chunxia didn't know whether she should be happy or sad. She could only walk slowly back to her home in a numb state.
Inside the room, the fifth sister was sitting on the kang, gnawing on half a boiled sweet potato, which was soft and sweet. The sixth little sister was being held by Aunt Feng, who was feeding her rice soup spoonful by spoonful.
Since her condition worsened, she stopped breastfeeding, and her milk stopped flowing within a few days. Now, even if the baby wants to eat, she has no food. There was no other choice but to feed the child rice porridge. Occasionally, my husband would get some cow's milk or goat's milk and mix them together.
But little Laoliu had a picky appetite and could actually taste the difference between rice soup and milk. She drank the milk with great relish, but cried heart-wrenchingly when she drank the rice soup. No matter how we fed her, she wouldn't eat it. We had to wait until she was so hungry that she couldn't bear it any longer before we could force her to eat some.
Due to such chaotic feeding method, the child became as thin as a little mouse.
And now, I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but this “little mouse” seems very happy and is drinking particularly happily?
It seems that today's rice soup is particularly delicious. Little Laoliu eats it with relish and waits with his mouth wide open. It is completely different from the heart-wrenching feeling he feels at home.
"Mom, my sister wants to drink milk, grandma." The fifth sister said in a low voice.
Feng Chunxia corrected him: "It's rice soup."
"No, no, grandma, grandma." The fifth sister waved her hands anxiously. Her mother taught her not to lie and she must tell the truth.
Feng Chunxia found it funny but was in no mood to correct her. She just wanted to lie down as it would be less tiring and more comfortable.
"It's milk powder. Your aunt Shu gave it to me. She said Jin Yuerang sent it."
"She felt sorry for our little six and said that eating rice soup all the time was not nutritious. She asked you to tell the child's father to think of a way out. No matter how hard or tiring it is, the child must not suffer."
Feng Chunxia was stunned, and her heart was warm at first. Why is Jin Yue a little awkward now? He used to like someone and be happy, but now his face is tense and he seems difficult to talk to, but his heart is still soft.
Then she felt sad because she knew that milk powder was better than rice soup, but they had no money to buy it.
"They gave me half a can of milk from a can, which is enough for three meals. You can take it back and feed it to the child later. Hurry up and ask her father to get some milk powder tickets."
In the old man’s mind, his son-in-law is a cadre, so how could a cadre not be able to find milk powder tickets? It's just that he didn't pay enough attention to her. He thought that she was just a girl and he should just raise her casually like the previous five girls.
The mother-in-law is resentful of her son-in-law. Just like Jin Yue said, it was he who made Chunxia pregnant, not his parents. So don't push everything onto the old people.
Feng Chunxia wanted to explain a few words, but suddenly felt very tired. She has been acting as a peacemaker between her husband and his parents, and has been explaining things for her husband for more than ten years. She is tired of it.
The old couple of the Feng family looked at each other and sighed secretly. They didn't say that their son-in-law was bad. His son-in-law was good. He was considerate to Chunxia, took care of the children and did housework, and would fight against his parents for Chunxia. He was also filial to his father-in-law and mother-in-law. But it seemed that he was not good enough, as Chunxia gave birth to many children and her body was broken.
Even Jin Yue, an unmarried girl, understood this truth, so naturally they also knew it.
Well, after all, isn't he so positive because he wants a son?
At the Shu family's side, Jin Yue sat in front of the window and pondered. When the pulse and symptoms are completely opposite, which one should be based on? Most of the time, the pulse should be based on the symptoms, as the pulse will not lie. However, Jin Yue had encountered a time in his previous life when the pulse was inaccurate and he almost made a misdiagnosis.
She always felt that Feng Chunxia's condition needed further consideration.
"Jin Yue, help mom watch the fire in the stove. I'm going to go to the bathroom." There was a pot of red beans boiling on the stove. No one knew where Shu Wenming got it from. He said he wanted to eat red bean paste buns. Zhao Wanqiu planned to boil some red bean paste first to make buns.
I don’t know what’s wrong with these three children. Ever since Jin Yue bought them leather shoes, Wenming and Wenyun also started to buy things for their home one after another. Sometimes it was a bag of slightly rotten apples, which could be eaten after the rotten parts were cut out; sometimes it was a few pairs of rubber gloves, which they said were issued by the unit, and they could be worn by her when washing dishes and clothes in winter to keep her hands from getting cold.
Jin Yue was afraid that the red beans would overflow, so he simply went to the stove to stir them. Zhao Wanqiu moved quickly and came back in less than five minutes. She washed her hands under the eaves first, muttering, "Chunxia is really strange."
But Jin Yue didn't hear what she said, but went back to his room to look for a book. She had already finished reading the book she borrowed from the medical school last time, but she still wanted to read it again to find some ideas from it.
It was really inconvenient for three siblings to live in a small room. After she came back, Teacher Shu asked someone to buy steel bars and wooden boards, and asked Uncle Zhao to help weld a simple bunk bed. It was not until a few days ago that all the materials were pieced together. Jin Yue finally had an independent bed that belonged to her completely.
Since she was a child, she has always slept in the same bed with Shu Wenyun. It was warm in the winter, but she would wake up with back pain. It was terrible in the summer. Coupled with the smell from Shu Wenming's side, the whole room was smelly and hot.
If I open the window, there will be mosquitoes. If I don’t open the window, it will be like steaming buns.
Shu Wenming was not actually unhygienic. He brushed his teeth and washed his feet every day, and took a cold shower every day in the summer. But the house was too small, and with three men and women in their prime with the fastest metabolism living together, the house somehow became smelly.
Jin Yue felt that she had wronged her second brother in the past. She did not understand this truth until she moved into the educated youth camp.
In the evening, Jin Yue went to Feng's house and told them that she really hadn't come up with any ideas yet. If Sister Chunxia was busy, she could go home first and she would think about it for a few days. When the time came, she would go to their house to help her no matter whether she had any ideas or not.
Feng Chunxia came with hope, but didn't want to go back with disappointment. She was also a little angry with her husband, so she simply stayed at her parents' home.
"Do Brother Xiao Feng and sister-in-law have any objections?" Jin Yue looked up and asked Zhao Wanqiu.
"Well, this couple is actually pretty nice people. They just didn't think things through before. It's been so many years now. There's so much hatred between the brothers and sisters."
Besides, Uncle Feng and his friends are not subsidizing Chunxia at the expense of their own lives. They are subsidizing Chunxia with all their heart and soul, and they are only doing what they can so that their daughter-in-law will feel better. "Chunxia's husband is a good man. He never comes empty-handed, and my brother-in-law often smokes his cigarettes."
While everyone was listening, Zhao Wanqiu's buns came out of the steamer. The white and plump big buns, when bitten open, reveal the semi-fluid hot bean paste filling——
"It's delicious and sweet."
"I remember the red bean paste we ate when we were young was not this sweet. Did Auntie add sugar?" Shu Wenyun asked curiously.
"The sugar in our house is not enough for your eldest brother to take away. He said he had low blood sugar and wanted to soak the sugar in water." Teacher Shu was furious. She got angry when she mentioned her eldest son. He really felt justified in taking advantage of the family.
Shu Wenyun stopped talking. She has always been a calm person who never likes to take the lead in anything and doesn't like to gossip about others behind their backs. After what happened last time, she became even more silent, and her eyes were complicated when she looked at everyone, especially Jin Yue.
"It was Jin Yue who contributed his own honey and added several tablespoons of it."
Shu Wenming smacked another one, "No wonder, I said it tasted very sweet."
He looked at Shu Jinyue and asked, "Where did you get the honey?"
"Someone gave it to me."
Shu Wenming's eyes widened. "Who is this? You just gave me something so good. This isn't honey from a bee farm. It must be wild honey, right? I remember a few kilograms of wild honey came to our store last year. It was so expensive that the manager ordered it in half an hour. I guess they gave it to me to buy something for me."
Jin Yue blinked.
"Who gave it to you? How generous." Even Teacher Shu was curious. "We can't just accept something this valuable, especially if it's from a girl. Don't let people misunderstand us."
"A friend." She didn't want to say "an uncle" as it would make the person sound old. Xu Duan was only a few years older than her, not old at all.
"Which friend? I know all your friends. It's just Yao Qingqing and Huang Mei. Could it be that Yao Qingqing gave it to him?" Shu Wenming wanted to get to the bottom of it, but Shu Jinyue ran away with the bun in his mouth.
Humph, second brother is so annoying. We are all adults, but he has no sense of boundaries at all.
***
The children all went to work, and Zhao Wanqiu went out for a walk as usual, buying some vegetables before coming back.
"Isn't your teacher Shu with you?" This is what I would ask every time I meet an acquaintance.
"He is playing chess with Old Li today. I am eager to wait for him."
Everyone laughed. In fact, the couple had a pretty good relationship and rarely got angry. Although Zhao Wanqiu had a quick temper, Teacher Shu was tolerant. She got angry and scolded him, but he didn't talk back. He didn't take it seriously afterwards. He would wait until she calmed down and then approached her and started talking to her.
"When a couple lives together, they need to be quick-tempered and patient, otherwise they can't get along."
As everyone was chatting, Zhao Wanqiu suddenly heard someone calling her. She turned around and thought to herself, oh no! She really shouldn't talk about people behind their backs. She had just told the children yesterday about the head nurse's sister who died of diabetes, and today when she went out she ran into the head nurse herself.
She walked over reluctantly, "Boss, are you buying groceries?"
The head nurse looked at the few shabby vegetables in her basket and deliberately raised the pork in her hand. "Just buy some. My husband likes braised pork, and it can't be too lean. Hey, why don't you buy some meat? How can we eat only vegetables?"
Zhao Wanqiu cursed in her heart but suppressed her anger on the surface.
Bah, is it that I was born not to like eating meat? !
"Oh, look at me. Didn't your daughter say last time that she wanted to stay in the city? Oh, why didn't you tell me earlier? Not long after you asked, my niece came to our department as a temporary worker. She has a poor understanding and doesn't like to study. She needs to be taught every day. If your daughter came, she would definitely be as capable as you."
Zhao Wanqiu let out a "Pooh" sound and really wanted to tear her stinky face apart.
She was reluctant to arrange the appointment for Jin Yue, but her niece, a fool, was accepted. Isn't this meant to piss her off?
It’s not like she hasn’t seen her niece before. When she was in middle school, she couldn’t even speak complete sentences when she came to see her and could get lost outside her home. How could she arrange for her to give injections and dispense medicine to patients? Isn't this just a scam?
Zhao Wanqiu had been cultivating herself for several years and didn't want to bother with her, but when she thought of the small shove she had suffered in the past, she thought to herself, "I'm retired now, what can you do to me?" She immediately put her hands on her hips and wanted to have a quarrel with her.
Fortunately, they were pulled apart by the neighbors in Liuye Hutong.
"She's still working in the hospital. When your family members are sick, you'll always need her help. Stop arguing. If you lose the argument, you'll be angry. If you win, your family will suffer in the future."
When Zhao Wanqiu returned home, she was still exhausted and had no mood to cook. She just fell asleep.
***
Shu Jinyue didn't go home for dinner because he had something to do, so he didn't know about this. Not finding any ideas in the existing books, she went to medical school again.
She said hello to Zhu Daqiang before leaving. If she didn't get back in time after get off work, Old Zhu wouldn't bother her. Anyway, the three of them who were exiled to the streets were far away from the emperor and no one would care about them.
The second time he came to the medical school, Jin Yue was much more familiar with the place. He went straight to the library, returned the books he borrowed last time, and then started looking for books. Today's college students love studying so much that there are not enough books to borrow in the library. When they come across a good book, it is often borrowed by the next person who is waiting as soon as the previous book is returned and before it is even put on the bookshelf.
However, only clinical books are treated this way, and Chinese medicine books are basically ignored. Jin Yue found the bookshelf where she was last time. Most of the books on it were still there. She picked out two or three books and spent about half an hour taking them to the registration desk.
"Comrade, you are not a student of our school, you cannot borrow it."
Jin Yue was stunned. "I was able to borrow it last time. Can I use my work ID? I'm in Xinqiao Street..."
"No, the rules were changed just last week. From now on, students who are not from our school can't borrow it."
Jin Yue was dumbfounded and said pitifully, "Big sister, can you please be flexible? I really need these books."
The eldest sister was also soft-hearted. "It's not that I don't want to lend it to you, but the rules are like this. If I lend it to you, I will be criticized. Do you understand?"
Jin Yue quickly expressed her understanding, thinking that if she couldn't borrow the book, she would just read it in the library, and try to finish it before the library closed, and just memorize it in her mind. She just had to skip work, and she felt a little guilty.
Although she is not a very law-abiding person, she still has to work for a day's salary, right?
Just as she was about to turn around and find a place to sit and watch, someone suddenly called her name from behind, "Shu Jinyue?"
"I finally meet you again, Comrade Shu Jinyue." Qin Haiyang's ears turned red.
The more I think about it, this is the boy I bumped into on campus last time. At that time, she even said she would treat him to a meal...
"Are you here to borrow a book? Teacher, I'll help her borrow it. I'll use my ID."
After registering, the two walked out of the library. Jin Yue felt that she couldn't avoid this meal today. After all, the other person had helped her twice in a row. If she didn't treat him again, she would be taking advantage of him.
"I didn't ask clearly last time, so I went to the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine to look for you... but I couldn't find you. Are you a worker-peasant-soldier student planning to study at our school?" My roommates laughed at me for several days.
Later he thought of another idea. Shu Jinyue was not a student of their school, but he would definitely come to return the books. His feet seemed to be disobedient and he would go to the library from time to time.
Qin Haiyang scratched the back of his head, afraid that he would miss the opportunity to introduce himself again. "My name is Qin Haiyang. I'm a third-year student. I'm going to the hospital for internship starting next month."
"Which unit are you from?"
The other person was so sincere, it would be unfair for Jin Yue to deceive him again, so she told him her information honestly.
"You work at the epidemic prevention station, so we are in the same line of work!" Qin Haiyang immediately started to talk about more topics. He asked Jin Yue about his work, then about his school, and then about his previous work.
He was a member of the first batch of workers, peasants and soldiers who graduated from college in 1970. After graduating from high school, he worked in the Municipal Public Security Bureau for two years before being recommended to go to school.
Jin Yue was curious, "What do you do at the Public Security Bureau?"
“At first, I followed my father to become a forensic doctor, but it was too professional.”
"Forensic doctor, you are so amazing." Jin Yue is also a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old. She also likes to watch TV series, especially criminal investigation dramas, in which there is always a very amazing forensic doctor who solves many strange cases.
"I...I lacked professional knowledge at that time, so I just helped out, and no important work was given to me." Qin Haiyang scratched his head, "But it was those two years of work experience that made me determined to study medicine."
"Then why didn't you study forensic medicine?" Instead, you studied obstetrics and gynecology.
Qin Haiyang's originally glowing face dimmed in an instant, "Later, my sister died of complications during childbirth, and I..."
Jin Yue understood, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned this."
Many medical experts studied medicine because of the death of their relatives, which inspired their love and interest in medicine. The spirit of research of these people is remarkable, and it is even more admirable that he, a man, actually chose obstetrics and gynecology for this reason.
Jin Yue felt guilty for being perfunctory to him before, "You are really excellent, and you will definitely achieve great things in the future."
"Thank you Comrade Shu Jinyue for your encouragement. I will definitely work hard."
"I'm going to treat you to a meal today to thank you for your help. Please don't be polite to me. We'll be in your school cafeteria, okay?"
She couldn't afford the food in the state-owned canteen outside, so she thought the one in school would definitely be cheaper.
"Okay." Qin Haiyang's face turned red again. He knew Shu Jinyue was different after just one meeting. She seemed bolder and braver than many female comrades. She spoke straightforwardly. Although she was young, she was full of ideas and had rich clinical experience. She was his role model.
"The plain noodles in our cafeteria are delicious, would you like to try some?"
The two of them went to the noodle window and ordered a bowl each. Jin Yueren had a small appetite but ordered three taels of noodle soup, and asked for half a catty for Qin Haiyang.
"I promised to treat you, so I will definitely make sure you are well fed."
Not to mention, the noodles in the medical school cafeteria are really chewy and refreshing, and even the soup is fresh. Combined with the food coupons, the price is also cheap. Jin Yue feels that if he wants to eat there in the future, he can sneak in. It is much cheaper than eating in restaurants outside.
It may be sold to students. It is not only affordable but also has a large portion.
Alas, it’s another day when I envy college students for being able to eat in the cafeteria!
The two of them ate and chatted, mainly Jin Yue asked him about the interesting things in his previous job. The public security is good now. Although it is a municipal bureau, there are only a few criminal cases involving homicides a year, and even fewer cases that require forensic autopsies. It is not like the criminal investigation dramas where there are cases of dismembered corpses and headless corpses every now and then.
Qin Haiyang was also happy to share, and the two of them chatted for more than two hours without realizing it. When they realized what was happening, it was already dark.
"It's my fault for not paying attention to the time and delaying your studies."
"It's okay. We're about to start our internship, and we don't have classes in the evening." Qin Haiyang pushed his bicycle. "It's getting dark, and there should be no buses to your Liuye Hutong. I'll take you home."
Jin Yue thought that if he reversed the car, he could also get home, but it was late after all, and he was not sure if he would miss the last bus, so safety came first. "good."
It was rare to come across a topic that interested him, so Jin Yue was extremely excited and kept asking about forensic medicine all the way. When he returned to Liuye Hutong, he still felt unsatisfied.
"Thank you, Comrade Qin Haiyang."
"I should be the one thanking you. You treated me to noodles."
Thinking back to the first time they met, they were so polite to each other, and they both laughed, "You go in quickly, I'll be back to school soon."
"Okay, then you should be careful and you are welcome to come and play with me when you are free in the future."
"Okay, if you need to borrow another book someday, just come to me directly." He was already looking forward to it before they even parted. Shu Jinyue would have to return the book after reading it, and he would definitely come to him then. If he continued to borrow... well, it would be great that they would have many opportunities to meet each other.
Jin Yue held his schoolbag tightly and walked a distance inside. When he came under a big pomegranate tree, he suddenly saw a dark shadow walking out and was almost scared.
"You're back?"
Xu Duan's face was hidden in the darkness, so she couldn't see it clearly, nor could she hear any emotion in his voice.
"I just came back, why are you here?" Jin Yue suddenly became happy again. Although she still hadn't found a breakthrough in Sister Chunxia's condition, she felt better when she saw him who was easy to talk to.
"Just your friend?"
Obviously, he not only saw people, but also saw them standing at the entrance of the alley and talking for a long time. With his hearing ability, he could even hear the content clearly.
"Yeah, I just met him. He's a very good and interesting guy."
Xu Duan disagreed, a little worried about the child's poor judgment of people, "Don't be too confident when you just met. You still need to be careful about safety."
"I know, I know. They even sent me back." Jin Yue yawned, "Do you want to come to my house and sit for a while?"
"I have something to do and I'll leave first. Please keep the things." He handed over a cotton bag, which was very heavy.
Jin Yue only had time to say thank you before he left. He walked two steps and turned back, saying gently, "Be careful in the future, don't play so late, and don't skip work casually."
Jin Yue just thought that he was nagging at this moment, but when he got home and thought about it, he knew that he had skipped work, which meant that he came here before he got off work, went to the unit to find her, and then waited until now?
Her family knew that she was now bold and independent-minded, so they didn't say anything about her not coming home for dinner. After all, the child was grown up and would have her own social life. Teacher Shu and Zhao Wanqiu were both very open-minded and didn't care.
Jin Yue successfully returned to his room. Shu Wenyun bought two pieces of small floral cloth and hung bed curtains on the bunk beds. This way, they both had privacy, which was great.
She took off her coat, changed into the clothes she had been wearing on the bed, climbed onto the upper bunk, and then opened her pockets. With a "rustle" sound -
The bed was immediately covered with all kinds of chocolates! There is also a pair of small leather shoes with a little thick heel!
Shu Jinyue's mouth curled up, "You really treat me like a child. Who would love chocolate so much?"
That night, she hid in her bed and ate two pieces of chocolate, telling herself that just two pieces would not damage her teeth. She tried on the leather shoes several times and they fit her feet better than the shoes she bought herself. What's more, they were very beautiful, simple and elegant. She could already foresee what a sensation it would cause when the girls in the compound saw them.
On the other side of Goldfish Alley, Xu Duan entered the house and Zhang Zhen was setting the table. "Are you back?"
"Sister-in-law." He greeted her and helped go to the kitchen to serve the dishes.
"Uncle is back, try the braised hairtail fish made by my father." This meal was actually prepared by Xu Siqi and Xu Ping together. Ms. Zhang Zhen in their family has always been a business backbone in the department and has no time to go into the kitchen, so they developed the tradition of men cooking.
"I went to the company to look for my uncle this afternoon, and they said he had to leave first because of something. What took you so long?"
Xu Siqi just asked casually, but Xu Duan's face looked a little unnatural, but he never showed his emotions on his face, so no one could tell.
"Did he encounter any difficult problems?" Xu Ping shoveled the food into the plate, muttering to himself. Since his brother was demobilized, he seldom came home so late. He must have been delayed by something important.
"It's okay, it's just... forget it, it's nothing." Xu sat at the table with a calm expression, just a child.
Xu Ping and his wife looked at each other. Although this younger brother was a younger brother, he was almost like their son and was raised by them.
The couple didn't ask any further questions at the dinner table. When they were lying in bed at night, Xu Ping was a little worried, "Did he encounter any difficulties?"
Zhang Zhen rubbed his waist while removing his hair, "I don't think it's a difficult matter, but I'm afraid you have something on your mind."
"What could he be worried about? He is more than capable of handling his job." Xu Ping took over and massaged her waist. His wife was the vice president of the hospital, but she had to work in the clinic. She was good at surgical operations, and she would stand for three or four hours for one operation. Sometimes, when the patient's condition was complicated, she would stand for eight or nine hours.
After standing for a long time, the most uncomfortable part is the waist.
"Twenty-six, almost twenty-seven. When you were his age, Siqi could already help out."
Xu Ping was suddenly stunned, "You mean he's dating someone?"
Zhang Zhen shook her head. "It's hard to say. Let's observe for a while. If it's suitable, we'll take him home. His parents are gone, so we have to worry about him more."
***
In the next two days, Shu Jinyue was absent-minded at work, thinking about Feng Chunxia's condition all the time. Fortunately, her illness was not serious and it would be fine if she took a few days off. But she was in pain, and Jinyue felt bad.
She stayed at Feng's house and waited for news from her because she trusted me.
In the past two days, her husband came to pick her up twice, but she didn't go back. Aunt Li said that the couple had a conflict and that it was all her fault for not being able to conceive or something like that. Aunt Feng was so angry that she had two fights with her.
Later, when Mrs. Feng came home from get off work, she heard that she had also had a fight with her.
As a result, just as Xiao Feng's wife had just finished quarreling with her, her own daughter-in-law and Xiao Feng's wife became so close that they wore the same pants and went to the toilet hand in hand. Don't you think it's infuriating?
Aunt Li was so angry that she threw things at home. Brother Li saw this and tried to reason with her, but she didn't accept his words and they started quarreling again.
Well, for the neighbors in the compound, they watched three big battles in one day, and the main villain was always Aunt Li. The key point was that she was the losing party in every battle. All the dogs in this lively compound loved to watch it!
As soon as Jin Yue entered the house, Zhao Wanqiu discussed this matter with Aunt Zhao, and scolded Aunt Li for what she deserved. If she continued to make trouble like this, not only would people dislike her, but even her own son would be pushed further and further away from her.
"She doesn't understand this. In her mind, as long as she gives birth to a son, he will be tied to her belt for the rest of his life."
"I think Xiao Li is different from his sisters. He won't hit anyone who points his finger at him."
Speaking of the Li family's daughters who support their brothers, we have to mention Aunt Li's "achievements". She once single-handedly broke up the marriages of two of the daughters, just because the sons-in-law were normal people who were unwilling to unconditionally support their brothers-in-law.
The two girls had nowhere to go after their divorce, and she didn't let them eat the food at home for too long. She introduced them to two well-known old bachelors and asked for a large sum of money as a dowry.
"Just wait and see. If you keep being so immoral, one day you will get your comeuppance." Aunt Zhao said this and went home leisurely to cook.
Jin Yue heard a lot of gossip and felt a little regretful. Why didn’t Teacher Shu tell her about Aunt Li’s ending when she visited her in her previous life? She really wanted to know whether she would get her retribution.
"Stop listening and come peel the potatoes. I'm going to the bathroom." Zhao Wanqiu wiped her hands and ran to the bathroom.
Jin Yue was puzzled. "Mom, what's wrong with you recently? Do you have diarrhea?"
"Don't mention it. I've had diarrhea since the day Chunxia came back. It's all your dad's fault. He couldn't bear to throw away the pickled cucumbers left over from the day before, so I ate them with him. He was fine, but I've had diarrhea for several days."
"How about I prescribe some medicine for you? It's not a good idea to keep having diarrhea like this."
"Why spend that money? It's not like I have diarrhea so badly, only three times a day. It's just good for clearing my stomach, which is a good thing."
Jin Yue knew how stubborn she was. She was a medical worker, but she still took medicine that was one year expired.
"In our compound, Chunxia and I are the ones who go to the toilet most frequently. I have met her in the toilet several times, but she is faster than me... Oh, by the way, why did you all say that she urinated a lot last time? When I met her these few times, she went to the toilet very quickly, just a few drops and she was done, unlike me who had to squat for several minutes."
Jin Yue said, "Ah!" "Mom, what did you say? Say it again."
"I wonder why you say she urinates a lot? She doesn't pee a lot at all. She only pee a few drops. But she goes to the toilet frequently..."
yes!
Jin Yue suddenly had an idea. The common people, especially those in Shilan Province, use the local dialect to say "frequent urination" which does not necessarily mean a large amount of urine in a single time, but also a large number of times. Anyway, for the common people, as long as they are not sick, it does not matter whether the amount of urine in a single time is large or the number of times is large, so no one emphasizes it.
But Zhao Wanqiu is a nurse, and observing urine volume is her basic job. She knows exactly what amount of urine is considered a lot.
"It was just a tiny drip. If it didn't look like she was struggling, I would have suspected she had a urinary tract infection."
She has come into contact with many patients in clinical practice and knows a lot.
If the urine is less, it is consistent with a strong pulse!
Jin Yue suddenly understood and finally knew why something was wrong. Feng Chunxia's pulse was correct, but her description of the symptoms was wrong! This description misled the doctor who treated her from the very beginning... No, maybe it was not misleading at the beginning, she did have a lot of urine output, but it just gradually decreased later.
Sure enough, ten minutes later, Feng Chunxia confirmed that she was in the second case.
"At the beginning, I could pee a lot every time, but then it became less and less, so I didn't take it seriously." It was mainly because she wasn't swollen and there was no urinary retention in her body. She was concentrating on taking care of the newborn and her mother-in-law, so she didn't pay attention to it.
In addition to urine, the human body also excretes water through sweat, vomiting, etc., but Chunxia didn't sweat much, let alone vomit.
"Whether it is traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine, they all emphasize the basic energy conservation. You drink so much water, the intake remains unchanged, but the excretion is significantly reduced, and at the same time, no edema is formed, which means that your body consumes a lot of water."
This is what Chinese medicine calls the burning of body fluids, just like the water in a pot has been boiled dry.
The only thing that can boil water dry is fire and heat!
Shu Jinyue was certain that his pulse diagnosis was correct, and that the pulse and symptoms matched each other. "We must use a very cold medicine to eliminate the internal heat."
Zhao Wanqiu heard this and said, "But your sister Chunxia is so afraid of the cold. She dares not go out without a cotton coat, and she only dares to drink hot water. Her hands and feet are also cold. If she takes cold medicine, won't it make the situation worse?"
Feng Chunxia also had the same concern and looked at Jin Yue eagerly.
"Sister Chunxia, this is a typical case of true heat but false cold. Because the heat in the body blocks the Qi flow, it creates abnormal weather like snow in summer. But in fact, the root cause is still the internal heat. As long as the heat is cleared and the Qi flow is unblocked, the body's normal cold and heat sensations will be restored."
Zhao Wanqiu seemed to understand what he said, but not quite.
Feng Chunxia didn't have a Western medical mindset, so she understood this simple and easy-to-understand principle. "Then let me try it, Jinyue. It's not that bad to take medicine. It's just a cold medicine. At most, I'll have diarrhea for a few days. It's okay. I can handle it."
She now wants to cure this strange disease as soon as possible.
"Then I'll prescribe you a Baihu plus ginseng soup." Jin Yue took out a pen and paper, wrote down the prescription, added or subtracted the appropriate amount, and asked Uncle Feng to take it to the hospital to get the medicine. "After drinking the medicine, the amount of urine should increase, but don't worry, this is a normal reaction."
After the Feng family left, Zhao Wanqiu started asking questions, such as how to take a pulse, how to make sure the pulse is accurate, which one to follow when the pulse and symptoms are contrary to each other, and even why Baihu Decoction is called Baihu Decoction.
"Mom, since you are so curious, why don't you come and learn Chinese medicine? I will teach you for free."
"Fuck you, your mom is busy enough every day, how can she have time to learn this."
Teacher Shu suddenly said, "I think what Jin Yue said makes sense. Wanqiu, you should learn it. After all, learning one more skill doesn't take up much space. At our age, we are idle anyway."
Shu Wenyun changed her recent silence and actively persuaded: "I agree, Auntie, if you like, go and learn. We will do the housework when we come back."
"No need for you, I'll do it." Teacher Shu made the final decision, "Wanqiu, go and learn. You have a basic knowledge of medicine, so it will be easier for you than for us. Once you learn it, you can take care of our whole family."
Jin Yue looked at him gratefully. She knew that the body conditioning thing was actually fake. He just wanted his mother to have something to do so that she could regain her confidence.
Zhao Wanqiu used to be a battlefield nurse. She followed the People's Liberation Army to several major battlefields that appeared in history books. Because of traveling all over the country, her lifelong event was delayed. When the world was at peace, she was already 34 years old.
When she met Su Limin, who was also unmarried at an advanced age, the two of them didn't have much emotional foundation. She thought that since they were old enough and were introduced by the organization, it was enough, so she just let it go.
Originally, Zhao Wanqiu's professional skills were not bad, and she had a good reputation among patients. In addition, she always passed the professional title examination. Logically, her promotion was a natural thing. However, she was not very good at speaking and often offended people because of her work. In other words, she had low emotional intelligence as later generations said. For example, when a colleague was giving an IV to a patient and she discovered that the IV was wrong, she would speak out in front of the patient's family. In this way, she was upholding justice, but it caused a lot of trouble for the colleague who made the mistake. She often had to write a self-criticism, was punished, and was even scolded by the patient's family.
But did she get any benefit from it? I got nothing but complaints from my colleagues.
There shouldn't be too many such things. After a while, no one wants to work with her. When they talk about her, they frown and say that she has no sense of collective honor and is a sloppy, selfish and individualistic hero.
Whenever there was a vacancy in a job title, it was given to someone who was more capable than her.
Whenever there is an industry competition or a professional skills contest, everyone in the department would sign up for someone else's event, and she wouldn't even have the chance to participate.
What does it matter if you pass the professional title exam? If you are not hired, it is useless. You can only hold on until retirement, and barely get an intermediate professional title.
It would be a lie to say that she didn't feel lost. She had fought in the rear areas under hail of bullets and had endured one night shift after another in the clinic. Yet, those people who had never suffered any hardship and who were ranked below her in terms of seniority became leaders. How could she be mentally balanced?
In addition, she had just been ridiculed by the head nurse a few days ago, and she was still angry.
Her children may not know this, but Teacher Shu knows that she would secretly read old professional books from time to time. If someone in the compound was sick, she would give some ideas and suggestions. Sometimes when they brought back prescriptions for injections, she would take the initiative to help give them.
"Learn, it's settled. Jin Yue will teach your mother well."
