Lin Li inserted the moxa stick into the silver moxibustion device, and the smoke drifted out through the gaps in the window frame.
"Your illness is caused by worry damaging your spleen; it's not a serious problem..."
Hearing Lin Li say that, Chen Xue felt relieved.
Her father had heard everywhere that Dr. Lin's acupuncture skills were superb, and even Dr. Yu from B University Medical School praised him highly. That's why he swallowed his pride and asked Lin Laosan to help him make an appointment with Dr. Lin.
"Is your spouse living in another city?"
After hearing this, Chen Xue nodded blankly.
"Have your spouse come back next month. The supply and marketing cooperative has just received a new batch of Dacron fabric; make a new shirt with it."
Chen Xue didn't seem to understand Lin Li's words. After thinking for a while, she suddenly grabbed Lin Li's hand, her palms covered in sweat.
"Dr. Lin, I really can..."
Lin Li smiled at her, counted the silver needles and put them back in the box, the red silk thread wrapping around her finger three times.
"It's not a big problem. I'll prescribe some medicine for you; take it first..."
Upon hearing Lin Li's words, Chen Xue's eyes lit up, and the corners of her mouth turned up in a smile.
"Wait for me a moment, I'll go get your medicine!"
Chen Xue immediately nodded, sat up from the bed, and walked briskly back to the main room.
Professor Chen sat in the main room, and seeing the smile on her face, his own lips involuntarily turned up as well.
"How is it? Can it be cured?"
Chen Xue walked quickly to Professor Chen and nodded vigorously.
"Dr. Lin told me to call my partner back next month..."
Upon hearing Chen Xue's words, Professor Chen's smile deepened.
"That's good, that's good!"
The father and daughter were talking in the main room when Lin Li called Lin Laosan into the bedroom.
He took out the medicinal herbs from his spatial storage and placed them on the table, then started preparing the medicine with Lin Laosan.
"Mom, these herbs are so fresh, and they smell so fragrant."
During this time, Lin Laosan has learned a lot about pharmacology from Lin Li and has also gained some understanding of the properties and quality of traditional Chinese medicine.
"Of course!"
Lin Li answered, her hands still moving.
“I’ll be going to Hong Kong soon, and I’ll prepare several extra portions of the medicine. If I’m too busy there to come back, you can just give the rest of the medicine directly to Professor Chen.”
"OK!"
"Chen Xue's illness should be cured in a month, but I'm just worried about what might happen..."
Lin Laosan: Mom, don't you have enough confidence in your medical skills?
Lin Li was unaware of Lin Laosan's thoughts. She always preferred to be cautious, down-to-earth, and not reckless in her actions.
"Once I've settled things in Hong Kong, I can come right back. But they all know I'm in Hong Kong, so I won't be able to show my face outside. You'll have to take better care of the business in Beijing!"
Lin Li was like a mother who was about to leave home for a long time, constantly giving Lin Laosan instructions.
Lin Laosan listened and smiled as he agreed.
It's so nice to have my mom's care!
"By the way, how's that girl you're in love with doing? I haven't heard you mention her since you came back."
I suddenly remembered what Lin Laosan said when he talked about the reason for wanting to make money in Shenzhen.
Upon hearing Lin Li's words, Lin Laosan's hands suddenly paused, and his eyes darkened instantly.
He doesn't know if the other person is attracted to him for who he is, or if they are just being competitive!
Lin Li glanced at Lin Laosan's expression and then shut her mouth.
It seems he's experiencing some emotional turmoil; now is not the time for her to inquire.
Thirty minutes later, the mother and son packed the medicinal herbs into different portions and carried them into the main room.
After handing over the medicinal herbs and explaining the process of decocting the medicine and the heat, Professor Chen took out several hundred yuan from his bag and handed it over.
"Thank you so much, Dr. Lin! You've really gone to a lot of trouble this time!"
Lin Li took out 100 yuan from it and pushed the rest back into his hand.
"I also want to thank you for helping my two grandsons find such a good school. This time I'll only charge the cost price..."
Professor Chen hesitated for a moment, then readily put the money back into his bag.
“That works too. If there’s anything at the child’s school in the future, Lin Laosan can come to me anytime.”
Lin Li smiled and nodded, "You're also welcome to visit my home!"
Professor Chen nodded immediately after hearing this and said, "Our two families should visit each other more often."
Lin Laosan: ...Do parents and teachers visit each other frequently? He felt a little uneasy listening to this.
After seeing Professor Chen off, Lin Li called Mr. Yu to tell him that the matter was settled and she was ready to leave for Hong Kong at any time.
After receiving the notification, Mr. Yu sped up his actions.
The next afternoon, he called Lin Li and said that his flight to Hong Kong was at 10:00 AM the next day.
After setting the time, Lin Li called Lin Laosan and Xiao Liangliang to her side and gave them some detailed instructions, which made the three of them smile happily the whole time.
The two little ones: Grandma has finally taken us to heart.
Lin Laosan: Mom still loves me the most!
The next day.
Before eight o'clock, the car arranged by Mr. Yu was already parked at the entrance of the courtyard house.
Upon hearing the car arrive, Lin Li picked up her suitcase, opened the door, and went out.
"Dr. Lin!"
Awei stood next to the car, opened the back door, and politely bowed to Lin Li as she walked over.
Fortunately, last time at Teacher Zhou's place, they listened to the boss's advice and didn't try to take that courtyard house from her, otherwise they would really be embarrassed to ask her to treat the old man now.
Lin Li ignored his slightly awkward smile, simply nodded kindly to him, and then got into the back seat.
After watching Lin Li sit down, Awei opened the passenger door and got in.
"Dr. Lin, I'm really sorry to have troubled you this time!"
"It's okay, I also want to go to Hong Kong to have a look!"
"That's great, Hong Kong is beautiful..."
Mr. Yu began to enthusiastically introduce Hong Kong, continuing his conversation until they boarded the plane.
Lin Li: Finally, it's quiet!
Mr. Yu: Finally, I can stop introducing myself!
Awei: ...
Lin Li sat by the window, her fingers unconsciously tracing the condensation on the porthole, leaving winding streaks on the glass.
When we took off from Beijing, the sky was still overcast.
But not long after, the plane broke through the clouds, and the view outside the window changed completely.
Large swaths of white clouds seemed to pile up below, and sunlight streamed in through the porthole, casting dappled shadows on Lin Li's clothes.
She squinted slightly, admiring this scene she hadn't seen in so long.
Mr. Yu sat next to her, closing his eyes to rest.
He was still wearing that dark gray jacket, but the zipper was only half-zipped up, revealing the white shirt collar underneath.
Lin Li noticed that his brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.
Is this your first time flying?
Mr. Yu suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Lin Li.
Lin Li paused for a moment, then nodded hesitantly.
This was indeed my first time flying in an airplane during this era.
Mr. Yu's lips seemed to curl up slightly.
"Flying is faster and saves a lot of time compared to taking a boat. I can't afford to delay things for my father."
