Chapter 1121 Learning Chinese Medicine is Difficult
A luncheon was held to celebrate the opening ceremony of the Liyang County Liaison Office in Binhai, with a total of 18 tables set up in the banquet hall.
Yu Zhiming and his family, including Zeng Yan and Xiao Bo's girlfriend Jiang Feng, were all present, a total of twenty people.
They sat at two tables.
Yu Xinyue, the third daughter of the Yu family, and her husband took the initiative to sit at the table for the younger generation, using the excuse of taking care of their youngest seven-year-old daughter, Song Qiao.
As for Zhou Mo and Sun Lin, they sat at the table next to Yu Zhiming to prevent any unexpected situations.
Yu Zhiming and Qing Ning are located on the left side of Yu's father and mother, and to the left are Yu Xiangwan, the fourth child of the Yu family, and Zhang Bai.
Yu Zhiming exchanged a few words of greeting with the two people who came over to say hello. As soon as he sat down, he saw his fourth sister rubbing her eyebrows.
Only then did he notice that his fourth sister's thin face was full of fatigue and her complexion looked a little bad.
"Fourth sister, are you still so busy lately? So tired?"
Yu Xiangwan put down her hand, smiled gently at Yu Zhiming, and said, "It's been okay lately. It's been a bit easier. A lot of the work has become routine. It's mainly because I stayed up late last night after checking the accounts."
"Fourth sister, your health is important, don't rush your work."
Yu Zhiming said with concern, then stretched out his hand and said, "Fourth sister, let me check your hand!"
"Old Five, have you made progress again? Can you tell whether someone is in good health just by shaking hands?" Yu Xiangwan asked with a smile, extending his hand at the same time.
Yu Zhiming held Fourth Sister's hand across the lime and explained, "It's mainly to understand the heart through the pulse."
"At our age, as long as the heart is fine, even if there are problems with other organs, it won't be a big deal."
At this point, Yu Zhiming's expression froze, and he said to Qing Ning beside him, "Let's change seats."
Qing Ning didn't know what problem Yu Zhiming had discovered, so she quickly stood up and gave up her seat.
Yu Zhiming moved his butt and sat next to Yu Xiangwan, reaching out and touching her lower abdomen.
The next moment, Yu Xiangwan felt her brother's hands patting and pressing her lower abdomen, and she couldn't help but feel worried.
She lowered her voice and asked, "Old Five, um, is there really something wrong with my body?"
"Don't scare me!"
Yu Zhiming did not answer until more than ten seconds later, when he withdrew his hand from checking.
He faced Yu Xiangwan and the worried gazes of everyone at the table, then suddenly smiled and said, "Fourth sister, there's something wrong with your health..."
Yu Zhiming didn't keep the secret and said immediately, "Fourth sister, you are pregnant."
"Pregnant?"
Yu Xiangwan's eyes instantly widened twice as wide as before, questioning, "How is that possible? Your brother-in-law and I have both noticed this!"
She suddenly thought of something and asked anxiously, "Lao Wu, how long have I been pregnant? Be more precise."
"About ten days." Yu Zhiming gave a number.
Yu Xiangwan immediately turned to Zhang Bai on his left, reached out and twisted the soft flesh on his waist, and said angrily, "Didn't you promise that it would be okay if you didn't use it once in a while?"
"I'll screw you to death! I'll screw you to death!"
Yu Zhiming and Yu Xiangwan did not lower their voices during their conversation just now, so everyone at the table knew about it.
Zhang Bai, who only knew how to grin and smile, seemed to be completely unaware of the pain in his body. He chuckled, "I didn't expect that I would be so powerful. That time..."
"Blame me! Blame me!"
Yu Ma, her worries gone, said happily, "Fourth Brother, this is a good thing. You'll have to have a child sooner or later."
“It’s better to get pregnant early than late.”
Yu Xiangwan released Zhang Bai's hand and said with a look of grievance, "Mom, there's so much work to do at the company. My original plan was to wait a year or two until the company was on track before having a child."
"This time, the plan is completely messed up."
Zhang Bai quickly stated, "Xiang Wan, I will definitely take care of the company's affairs. Just focus on your pregnancy."
He then asked Yu Zhiming, "Your fourth sister has been very busy lately and has lost a lot of weight. How is her health?"
Yu Zhiming nodded gently and said, "I am indeed a little weak and need to take good care of myself."
Yu Ma decided, "It just so happens that Lao Wu and Qing Ning are going on vacation. Lao Si, you should move in with Lao Wu first. During this time, Lao Da and I will take good care of you."
Yu Chaoxia also spoke, but she was talking to Zhang Bai.
"Brother-in-law, the fourth child is pregnant now. It's not suitable for her to live in such a small rental house anymore. Is this a problem with the house?"
Yu Zhiming followed suit, suggesting, "Since you're pregnant, don't consider a new house. Not only does renovations take a long time, but newly renovated houses are polluted, which is bad for pregnant women and children."
"Just buy a well-decorated second-hand house that's ready for you to move into."
Yu Zhiming added, "Fourth sister, fourth brother-in-law, as for the money to buy a house, if you don't have it right now, you can ask me for it first."
Zhang Bai said, "Zhiming, the company is developing rapidly, and money is really tight. Your fourth sister is pregnant now, so I won't be polite to you."
He added confidently, "In two years at most, I will pay back the money with interest."
Qing Ning chuckled and asked, "Fourth sister, fourth brother-in-law, do you have a target for this house?"
"If not, I can help look for it."
Zhang Bai glanced at Yu Xiangwan and said, "Xiangwan and I have had a serious discussion about this house. We both think..."
"Qingning, the Four Seasons Residences where your house is located is quite good. The schools nearby are good, and the facilities are all good and complete!"
After a pause, Zhang Bai continued, "Of course, we don't need to buy such a big house. I saw that the All Seasons Mansion also has relatively smaller three- and four-bedroom units."
Yu Zhiming said generously: "Since you like that community, let the real estate agent help find a suitable one in the community. As long as it's not a particularly luxurious mansion, money is not a problem."
At this moment, the magnetic male commentary voice suddenly sounded.
A promotional video about Liyang County started playing on the big screen in the banquet hall.
This also means that the reception luncheon is about to officially begin.
The discussions in the banquet hall quickly died down, and the guests who were chatting with each other returned to their tables and sat down.
The seats at Yu Zhiming's table were also adjusted appropriately. Yu Xiangwan, the expectant mother who had been promoted to a key protected person, sat between Yu Ma and Yu Zhaoxia to listen to their experiences.
Yu Zhiming and Qing Ning's seats were not changed back.
"Zhi Ming..."
Qing Ning moved closer to Yu Zhiming and asked curiously in a low voice, "When did you learn how to take a pulse in Traditional Chinese Medicine?"
"Otherwise, how come you knew Fourth Sister was pregnant just by shaking her hand?"
Yu Zhiming shook his head and said, "I don't know how to take a pulse."
"However, taking a pulse is about detecting changes in the pulse. I just detected changes in Fourth Sister's pulse."
Yu Zhiming then softly explained to Qing Ning, "As the saying goes, if you read a book a hundred times, its meaning will become clear. I have examined countless pregnant women, and I am very familiar with the changes in their pulse."
"When I checked Fourth Sister's pulse just now, it gave me a sense of familiarity, so I checked her lower abdomen."
Qing Ning chuckled and said, "It seems that girls can't just let you touch their hands. It would be bad if you found out about their private matters."
Yu Zhi understood her at a glance and proved his innocence by saying, "I rarely touch girls' hands..."
After the seven- to eight-minute promotional video concluded, County Mayor Cheng gave a five- to six-minute speech, and then the luncheon officially began...
More than half an hour later, Yu Zhiming, who was still eating and drinking, noticed someone poking him.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw a little guy with a greasy mouth, and quickly looked at the little guy's hands...
Yu Zhiming breathed a sigh of relief. His little hands were still quite clean and not greasy.
He tore off a napkin and wiped the little guy's mouth.
"Xiao Qiao, are you full?"
Song Qiao nodded, then pouting, he stretched out his right hand and said pitifully, "Uncle, just yesterday, my master hit my hand with a ruler."
Yu Zhiming looked at Song Qiao's right hand, but didn't find anything wrong. He asked, "Why did I hit you?"
Song Qiao hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Master said I wasn't serious enough."
Yu Zhiming asked again: "Did it hurt?"
Song Qiao nodded and then shook his head, saying, "It hurt a little at the time, but Grandmaster said that if you do it again next time, I'll be beating you really hard."
"Uncle, could you please tell Master Grandpa to stop using corporal punishment and try something else?"
Yu Zhiming smiled and said, "That's your master's grandfather, and also my teacher. My words are useless."
"If you don't do it next time, you won't be beaten, right?"
Song Qiao said with a bitter face, "Uncle, learning Chinese medicine is so difficult. There are so many things to remember, and sometimes I can't remember them all."
Yu Zhiming touched her head and said, "If you want to heal illnesses and save lives like me when you grow up, you must study hard."
Song Qiao looked like he was about to cry, and complained, "But, but, it's really difficult. Many characters have strokes that are difficult to write and remember."
"And, and..."
Song Qiao gestured with his hands and said, "With such a long needle, my uncle said that we should prick ourselves with it when we learn."
"Uncle, I'm scared and don't want to study Chinese medicine anymore." Song Qiao finally started crying.
Yu Zhiming finally understood that the little guy was not afraid of difficulty, but was afraid of pricking himself with the needle.
This little girl has always been afraid of injections.
Yu Zhiming suppressed his laughter, reached out and embraced the little guy, and said, "That was just Uncle Shifu trying to scare you. In Chinese medicine, acupuncture is for others, not for yourself."
"Really?" Song Qiao asked for confirmation!
Yu Zhiming said seriously, "Of course it's true. Have I ever lied to you before?"
He said in his heart, this is a white lie. After all, it is impossible to learn acupuncture so early. It will take at least three to five years.
At that time, Xiao Qiao, who was in his teens, had already overcome his fear of injections.
However, Yu Zhiming needed to check with Mr. Ye to prevent anyone from Gancaotang from deliberately using acupuncture to scare Xiaoqiao.
At this moment, Yu Zhiming suddenly heard someone in the banquet hall shouting, "Doctor Yu, Doctor Yu, come and help."
"Someone here is having a heart attack..."
