After Chuxia submitted her application form, she was assigned to an aid area the next day.
She and Feng Xiaoyuan were both in a county further south of the southern suburbs of Beijing. Chuxia felt that Director Lin might have taken good care of her because this county was closer to the hospital affiliated with the institute than other areas.
If she was assigned to a county in another suburb, it would be far away from the institute.
Feng Xiaoyuan was very happy and ran into Chuxia's clinic with her medical record book: "Senior sister! Let's go to the same place! I don't have to worry at all with you here!"
Chuxia nodded and wrote down in the book what she needed to bring when she went to the aid area.
Medicinal materials, drugs, and some medical equipment that could be brought. It would be troublesome to come back and get them when she got there.
"Sister, aren't you happy?"
"Happy." Chu Xia finally looked up at her: "But I think, Xiao Yuan, you can go and get ready, we'll set off tomorrow."
"Yes, yes, yes! I still have to say goodbye to Dr. Bai."
Feng Xiao Yuan ran away again, Chu Xia shook her head, if Feng Xiao Yuan wants to become an independent doctor, she has to change her unstable temper.
But Chu Xia now thinks she is pretty good like this, carefree, and can be happy with a little simple things.
The next day, Chu Xia pulled her suitcase and prepared to go to the hospital, Cen Zhengnian and Cen Huaian saw her off.
"I'm leaving."
Chu Xia stood at the door, looking at the two of them, the feeling of reluctance gradually spread in her heart, and her steps to the outside suddenly couldn't move.
Cen Zhengnian walked forward, buttoned her coat with his slender fingers, and adjusted the collar of her sweater.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of An'an. When you settle down, An'an and I will come to see you when we are free."
When they worked in the county, they sometimes had to go to the countryside, and they had no idea how late they would be back, and they had no time to go home.
Chuxia let go of the suitcase, raised her hands and hugged Cen Zhengnian, whispering "hmm".
She let go of him, looked at Cen Huaian again, and stretched out her hands to him: "An'an."
Cen Huaian walked over, and the look in his eyes was also depressed.
His mother went out to help for a long time and couldn't come back. Except for the time when his mother took the college entrance examination, he had never been separated from his mother for such a long time.
Cen Huaian lowered his head and hugged Chuxia tightly, burying his head on her shoulder, and said in a muffled voice: "Mom."
Chuxia patted his back: "If there is anything, tell your father, Mom will miss you."
Then Chuxia let go of him, holding back the sourness in her nose, and tried to raise a smile and waved to Cen Zhengnian and Cen Huaian: "I'm leaving, don't see me off!"
Chuxia didn't let Cen Zhengnian and Cen Huaian take her to the hospital, she was afraid that she would cry on the bus.
Sitting on the bus from the hospital to the county town below, Chuxia put her medical kit on her lap, her eyes looked out the window, and her emotions couldn't completely get out of the separation.
Feng Xiaoyuan happily carried her luggage and got on the bus. When she saw Chuxia, she waved to her excitedly, "Senior sister! I'm here!"
Most of the doctors on the bus were calm, but some looked reluctant, perhaps because they were forced to come by the director.
Only Feng Xiaoyuan had a particularly lively expression on her face, as if a colorful bird had suddenly fallen into the gray world.
Chuxia watched her happily running towards her, and the feeling of parting that she had just felt was somewhat diluted.
Feng Xiaoyuan sat next to Chuxia, patted her chest and said: "Fortunately, fortunately, I was afraid that I would be late and there would be someone sitting next to you, senior sister."
Chuxia glanced at her: "There are only two of us in the Chinese medicine clinic, who will sit next to me?"
She and Feng Xiaoyuan have only been in the hospital for more than half a year, and they are not familiar with many doctors in other clinics.
Feng Xiaoyuan laughed twice: "That's right."
With Feng Xiaoyuan here, Chuxia's place became completely lively. She couldn't stop talking at all. She asked Chuxia if she wanted to eat this, then asked her if she wanted to eat that, and then said that there were two people outside.
"A man with a child, wow! That man looks better than Doctor Bai!"
Two people?
Chuxia's eyes widened suddenly, and she immediately turned to look out the window, only to see Cen Zhengnian wearing a black windbreaker jacket, standing on the side of the road outside the bus with his hands in his pockets. The shirt he wore underneath was still the dark blue shirt she had picked for him.
Cen Huaian was standing next to him, wearing the school uniform of the affiliated junior high school, with a schoolbag on his shoulder.
Chuxia was surprised and happy, and she opened the window and waved at them: "An An! Zhengnian!"
Cen Zhengnian and Cen Huaian responded to her. Chuxia smiled, stood up from her seat and walked out.
At this time, a doctor came up. He was the person in charge of their aid project this time. He took the list and started to call out names.
Chu Xia quickly walked to his side and said quickly: "My name is Luo Chu Xia."
Then she ran down like a gust of wind and ran directly to Cen Zhengnian and Cen Huaian, with the joy on her face undisguised: "How did you know I was in this car?"
"I asked the old man guarding the hospital gate."
The old man at the hospital gate knew the most. Chu Xia's smile became even bigger. She held Cen Huaian with one hand and Cen Zhengnian with the other hand and kept talking, unwilling to let go of the two.
The leader who was about to call the roll in the car was confused by Chu Xia's behavior. It was not until he saw Chu Xia running to Cen Zhengnian that he understood. He shook his head and continued to call the roll with the list.
After making sure that everyone had arrived, the leader opened the window and shouted to Chu Xia: "Luo Chu Xia, let's go!"
The smile on Chu Xia's face froze, and she slowly let go of Cen Zhengnian and Cen Huaian's hands.
"Go ahead."
Cen Zhengnian rubbed her head. Chu Xia looked back
every few steps as she got on the bus, feeling reluctant again. The leader on the bus called out again, and Chu Xia couldn't let everyone wait for her, so she quickened her pace and ran to the bus, sat on her seat, and continued to look at Cen Zhengnian and Cen Huaian outside the window. "You guys go back!" Chu Xia leaned her hands on the window and shouted at the two of them. Cen Zhengnian and Cen Huaian didn't move, and kept watching the bus start and drive away, their sights still staying in the direction of where Chu Xia was sitting. Chu Xia also kept looking back at the father and son through the window, until the bus turned and they couldn't see each other anymore, then Chu Xia sat up straight, and her breath became low again.
Feng Xiaoyuan turned her head and kept looking at Chuxia, the curiosity in her eyes could not be hidden at all, and she looked like she had something to ask Chuxia.
But Chuxia was immersed in her own emotions and did not notice her hesitation. It was not
until Chuxia sorted out her mood and became the calm and gentle Chuxia during the consultation that Feng Xiaoyuan boldly approached her and asked her with a pair of big eyes: "Senior sister, were those really your husband and son just now?" Chuxia nodded: "Yes." Feng Xiaoyuan exclaimed: "Senior sister, you are really a hidden talent! Your husband and son are so outstanding, senior sister, you will be my role model in the future!" Chuxia: "I hope you take me as a role model because of my medical skills." "Same, same." Feng Xiaoyuan said with a smile and tilted her head. It took nearly two hours to drive from the affiliated hospital to the county town where Chuxia and her friends were helping. The buildings here were very old, surrounded by low tiled houses, and the gate of the county hospital was even more dilapidated, with some marks on it, obviously damaged by a sharp weapon. "Could it have been chopped down in the past?" Feng Xiaoyuan stared at the door with her eyes wide open, guessing in disbelief. "It's possible." A doctor replied. At this time, someone had already walked out of the hospital, wearing the same white coat as Chuxia and her friends, walking quickly, with a look of hurry on their faces. "Are you the doctor from the hospital affiliated with the institute?" The leader of the team stepped forward and nodded: "Yes, we..." "Stop talking, follow me!" The doctor pulled the leader and ran into the hospital. The leader was forced to follow him and shouted anxiously: "Hey, hey, hey! My luggage!" "Human lives are at stake, why do you care about luggage!" Chuxia and the others who were left there looked at each other, blinked, and had the same confused look on their faces. Chuxia also ran into the hospital with the luggage: "Xiaoyuan, follow me!" The other doctors also hurriedly followed, and the doctor behind brought the leader's luggage in together. The doctor who just ran in probably said something to the people in the hospital. As soon as Chuxia and the others came in, they were taken to the emergency room by the nurse. "Hurry, hurry, hurry! Fortunately you arrived in time. There was a group of people who suffered serious external injuries and we couldn't save them." Chuxia and her friends didn't have time to catch their breath before they were taken to the emergency room, where there were countless men lying and sitting with their mouths groaning. Most of them were wearing black, blue, and gray homespun clothes, and their shoes were still covered with mud. They had all kinds of injuries on their bodies. Chuxia and other doctors didn't bother to ask what happened. After washing and disinfecting their hands, they immediately started to treat the wounds with first aid bandages. Some of the injured were seriously injured and needed surgery, and there was no guarantee that they could be saved. Chuxia is not a surgeon now. She and Xiaoyuan are only responsible for helping patients stop bleeding, apply medicine and bandage. If the bleeding cannot be stopped with medicine, needles will be used. The surgery was performed by the leader who came with them and other western doctors. When all the wounds on the patients were finally treated, Chu Xia and Feng Xiaoyuan were so tired that they sat on the chairs in the hospital, not wanting to move at all. At this time, a nurse came with a pot of water, poured water for all the doctors who were resting, and said, "I'm sorry, our director didn't expect to encounter such a sudden large-scale casualty situation, and asked you to be busy as soon as you arrived." The leader and others were still in the operating room. Chu Xia took the water and shook her head, too tired to say anything. Others told the nurse that it didn't matter, after all, saving lives was important, and they were here to help the hospital treat patients. After drinking half of her own water bottle, Chuxia recovered some of her strength. Then she heard Feng Xiaoyuan curiously ask the nurse: "Their injuries seem to be from fighting? What happened?" "Two families in two villages were fighting over land. In the end, the people from the two villages started fighting. I don't know who killed the other, and it turned out like this." The other nurses didn't know either, but she had received the order from the director. After the doctors supporting the county hospital had a good rest, she would take them to settle down. The county hospital also has its own staff dormitory and a family courtyard, but the house is very old and dilapidated, and the lighting is not good. Chuxia and Feng Xiaoyuan shared a dormitory. In addition to them, there were two other doctors, and everyone had four people in one room. In early summer, their house was on the first floor. As soon as they entered, a moldy smell immediately hit their faces, making them frown. On the cement floor in the house, there were large and small stains of moisture. Feng Xiaoyuan's face fell, and she reached out to touch the bunk bed. The wood on it was damp. "How long has this house been unoccupied? The conditions are much worse than our hospital dormitories, right?!" Chuxia had already put her luggage in a slightly drier place in the house, and looked up at Feng Xiaoyuan and said, "It's much better than I thought. At least there aren't more than a dozen people crammed into one room." The other two doctors were older than Chuxia and Feng Xiaoyuan. They had probably seen everything before, and they also accepted it calmly. Chuxia rolled up her sleeves, took the basin and walked out, ready to get the basin of water to clean up the house: "Xiaoyuan, don't just stand there, sweep the house first. If you don't clean it up, you can't live here at all." Feng Xiaoyuan's eyebrows and eyes drooped, and she pouted and sighed, "It's all moldy. What should I do?" "Open the window, wipe it clean, disinfect it, and wait for it to slowly dissipate." The other two doctors followed suit. The dormitory is not a dormitory for one person, and people cannot sleep if their beds are not made up. Not only Chuxia and her friends were cleaning the dormitory, but other doctors who came to assist were also cleaning the room. Chuxia, Feng Xiaoyuan, and the other two roommates spent a long time cleaning the dormitory. Fortunately, they all brought their own bedding so that they would not have to sleep on an empty bed at night. Chuxia spent the first day in the county town in such a busy manner. The moldy smell in the room had not completely dissipated when she went to bed at night. Chuxia hung up bags of medicinal herbs in the room and at the head of the bed. She asked Feng Xiaoyuan and the other two roommates, and they also needed one, so she gave one to each of them. With the smell of Chinese medicinal herbs, the moldy smell in the room did not seem so heavy. But Chuxia didn't care about these things. She was too tired and fell asleep right away on the bed. She slept until dawn. The next day, the doctors who came to assist were assigned to different clinics in the county hospital and officially began to provide assistance in the county hospital.
The news that doctors from the capital city were coming to the county hospital to treat patients for free spread to the villages under the county city through various channels.
Chuxia and her friends became busy all of a sudden. People who couldn't afford medical treatment around the county city now all came to the county hospital.
Even the Chinese medicine clinic where Chuxia and Feng Xiaoyuan were was full of people that day.
Most of the people who came to see the two of them were women and children from the village. They were dressed simply and looked reserved when they entered the clinic. When they saw Chuxia, the doctor, their eyes were full of respect and pleading.
They didn't mind Chuxia's age, nor did they ask about her medical skills. They only knew that doctors like Chuxia from the capital city could treat them for free.
Most of these women have gynecological diseases, and the children's diseases are caused by malnutrition and other symptoms.
Gynecological diseases are mostly caused by not paying attention to the mother's health, not taking good care of the baby after giving birth, and going to work in the fields regardless of whether the baby is well.
This is not a disease of women in one place, but many rural women have it.
Of course, there are many other diseases, some have breast discomfort, some have stomach and abdominal discomfort, and some have back and leg pain.
Every day in Chuxia, from sitting in the clinic to the end of the night, there is no rest time except eating, drinking water and going to the toilet, but she clearly feels that her medical skills are improving at a very fast speed.
This day, a patient with a big belly came. Her lower body was also swollen. When she lifted her clothes, her belly was stretched to a transparent level.
Chuxia frowned and looked at the patient's complexion. She was suffering from this disease. Her complexion was dark and sallow, and her skin was a little yellow.
As soon as she saw these, Chuxia knew that she had liver problems. The most difficult one was liver cancer. If it was liver cancer with ascites, it would be basically difficult to cure.
The woman was brought here by her husband. Both of them had sad expressions on their faces. They looked at Chuxia as if they were grasping at the last straw. Chuxia was under great pressure.
She asked the woman to put her hand on the pillow and feel her pulse carefully.
"Change your other hand."
The woman changed her hand obediently, looked at Chuxia hopefully, and asked weakly: "Doctor, can I still be saved?"
Chuxia breathed a sigh of relief after feeling her pulse. If it was not liver cancer, there was still hope of cure, but she did not dare to guarantee it.
"You should be able to feel something uncomfortable, right?"
The woman nodded hesitantly: "I often feel nauseous and vomit now."
Chuxia wrote the prescription and said: "It's normal, there is something wrong with your liver. But fortunately, it is not ascites caused by malignant liver disease such as liver cancer. It is benign, and it is only in the middle stage now, and it may be cured. I will mainly prescribe Chinese medicine for you for treatment. This must be stated in advance."
"Just take Chinese medicine, we will take Chinese medicine. Doctor, we don't have much money."
Chuxia: "I know, I try not to prescribe expensive medicine for you. But you must follow the doctor's instructions, don't take what you are not allowed to take, take the medicine on time, and come back in a week."
It is indeed free to let Chuxia and the others see a doctor, but the medicine costs money, otherwise the hospital's finances can't support it.
Chuxia handed the prescription to the two of them, and reminded them three times what they could and could not eat before letting them leave.
The two of them took the prescription and nodded repeatedly, with gratitude to Chuxia on their faces, as if she had saved her life.
Chuxia's mood suddenly became a little heavy. She had never felt at this moment how heavy the burden on her as a doctor was.
A thought could mean a life.
Chuxia took a deep breath and looked at the door: "Next!"
The most difficult patient Chuxia treated that day was the patient with mid-stage hepatic ascites. She also circled her out repeatedly in her medical record.
While lying on the bed, Chuxia was still thinking that she hoped this patient would listen to her. Only patients who cooperate with doctors can be cured quickly.
The free clinic in the countryside will not end in a short time. The initial attachment is planned to last for a month. Chuxia is also prepared to stay here for a long time.
Unlike the affiliated hospitals, which have rest days, there are no rest days during the free clinic because there are too many people coming to see the doctor, and there are doctors from villages who come to learn. In
early summer, there is also a barefoot doctor from the village below who has come to see how she treats patients these days.
The barefoot doctor was much older than Chuxia. He told Chuxia, "I have never learned medicine from anyone. I didn't have the conditions to do so before. I just learned to read from a Red Army soldier hiding in the village, learned a little about bandaging and applying medicine, read a medical book, and then started to treat people."
The barefoot doctor sighed and said, "I didn't dare to treat people at that time. I was unsure and afraid of killing people. But the villagers came to me for help, and the children would die if they were not saved. I had no choice but to bite the bullet, read the book, and became a barefoot doctor."
He has been cautious all his life and would never treat people he could not cure, so he has seen many people die in front of him.
"Although I didn't kill them, whenever I think that it was my poor medical skills that prevented them from being cured, I feel like I'm bitten by all kinds of bugs every day when I go to sleep. I'm so uncomfortable that I can't sleep!"
"So when I heard that the county hospital had a doctor from Beijing who provided free clinics and taught other doctors for free, I came here to learn. Doctor Luo, you are a capable person. I have learned more from following you in these few days than I have learned from treating patients in my entire life!"
The barefoot doctor was so happy that his dark face was glowing red, and he looked into Chuxia's eyes as if he were looking at a guiding light.
Chuxia waved her hand: "Let's learn from each other. I have also learned a lot from your experience in curing diseases and saving lives."
In the evening, Chuxia dragged her tired body back to the dormitory, washed up, lay down on the bed and closed her eyes, her hand still touching a photo under the pillow.
"Senior sister." Feng Xiaoyuan suddenly pushed the door open, her voice was confused and heavy.
Chuxia's sleepiness disappeared a little, and she opened her eyes and looked in her direction.
"What's wrong?"
"A patient I treated a few days ago came to see me today with a basket of eggs. When she saw me, she knelt down and said that I saved her life."
It was the first time that Feng Xiaoyuan encountered such a situation. It was lunch time at noon, and Chuxia was not with Feng Xiaoyuan, so she didn't see the scene.
"She waited in the hospital for a whole morning, and finally waited for me at noon."
Chu Xia looked at her: "Do you feel like you are carrying a heavy burden now? That burden is human life."
"Senior Sister, how did you know?" Feng Xiaoyuan immediately looked at her with her eyes wide open.
"Because the stages you have gone through are all the ones I have gone through before. It seems that the teacher was right to ask you to come to the county free clinic. You have grown up slowly. It is normal to feel serious, but you must learn to keep a calm mind, otherwise it will affect your treatment of patients."
Feng Xiaoyuan couldn't adjust herself all at once as Chuxia said.
She and Chuxia sat in the same clinic. Feng Xiaoyuan would prescribe medicine for the patients she was sure of. If she was not sure, she would ask Chuxia for help.
After she arrived in the county, she saw so many patients without any mistakes. She could feel the progress of medical technology herself. She was purely happy at that time.
But the behavior of the recovered patient today shocked Feng Xiaoyuan. She began to think about the true value of her being a doctor.
The pressure at this stage was very high. Seeing Feng Xiaoyuan still frowning, Chuxia shared with her her mental journey when she just treated the patient.
The other two experienced doctors in the dormitory also comforted Feng Xiaoyuan, allowing her to slowly adjust her mentality and turn pressure into motivation.
Chuxia breathed a sigh of relief, closed her eyes and continued to sleep. Doctor Yan asked her to take care of her junior sister, and she felt that she had done her best.
The next day was Sunday. Chuxia and Feng Xiaoyuan were going to the clinic for a consultation after breakfast. When she looked up, she saw two people, one big and one small, standing outside the clinic, facing Chuxia against the light.
Chu Xia's voice suddenly stopped, and she blinked hard to make sure she was not seeing wrong. A big smile immediately appeared on her face: "An An! Zheng Nian!"
"Mom." Cen Huaian called out and walked towards Chu Xia. Cen
Zheng Nian looked at Chu Xia with a smile on his face and nodded gently: "Well, we're here to see you."
Feng Xiaoyuan looked at Chu Xia's family of three, no one kept their eyes on her, she waved to Chu Xia with a tactful look, and went into the clinic first.
"When did you come here? How did you know this was my clinic?"
Chu Xia's voice was a little excited. She was so busy here that she didn't remember what day it was, and she didn't rest. She just felt that many days had passed.
Cen Zhengnian touched Chuxia's head: "We just arrived."
Cen Huaian said on the side: "Ask the nurse and you will know that mom is here."
"Have you eaten?" There is a cafeteria in the hospital.
"I have eaten."
Chuxia talked to Cen Zhengnian and Cen Huaian for a few words. She lowered her head to look at the time on the watch. She needed to see a doctor.
"There is a small lounge in the clinic. You can rest inside and wait for me."
Chuxia took them in. She had already seen a patient coming.
Cen Zhengnian and Cen Huaian knew that Chuxia would be very busy, but they didn't expect her to be so busy.
The lounge was not closed. There was a sky blue curtain blocking it. Cen Zhengnian and Cen Huaian could see and hear the process of Chuxia's consultation through the curtain.
She didn't even have time to drink water the whole morning, as patients came one after another. Chuxia was patient and gave careful instructions to each patient. By the end of her conversation, her throat was a little hoarse, so she lowered her head to drink a sip of water.
Cen Huaian stood at the door of the lounge, looking at Chuxia who was seeing the doctor with distressed eyes, his wrinkled brows never relaxed.
"Dad, Mom is so tired."
Cen Huaian even wanted to do something to help Chuxia, but neither he nor his father knew anything about traditional Chinese medicine, so they couldn't help Chuxia.
Cen Zhengnian's eyes were full of distress, his brows were knitted, and he didn't feel much better than Cen Huaian.
He sighed in his heart: "Yes, and your mother is great."
Cen Huaian nodded. What his mother did was a great thing, but in his heart he just hoped that his mother would not be so tired.
At lunch time, when Chu Xia stood up and stretched her arms, she felt sore in her back and waist. This was a symptom of her sitting for a long time.
"Is it uncomfortable here?" Two broad palms suddenly fell on Chu Xia's shoulders and neck, and a familiar gentle male voice came from behind her.
Chu Xia's whole body relaxed and she said "hmm".
Cen Zhengnian began to massage her shoulders, neck and back, while An An took her hand and massaged her.
Chu Xia was so comfortable that she wanted to "hum". When she was particularly tired before, she just wanted Cen Zhengnian and Cen Huaian to be there and give her a massage. Now it has come true.
Feng Xiaoyuan was standing at the table across the aisle, and saw what Cen Zhengnian and Cen Huaian were doing, as well as Chu Xia's look of enjoyment. Her mouth opened wide involuntarily.
Then envy appeared in her eyes. Senior sister was so lucky to have such a husband and son!
However, Feng Xiaoyuan only saw how Chu Xia and her family of three were getting along in the hospital. She didn't know how Chu Xia and Cen Huaian lived when Cen Zhengnian was not at home.
So it is said that every family is different, and you can't tell anything just by looking at the outside. But it is true that Chu Xia is really happy at this moment.
Chu Xia only enjoyed it for a while, and when she relaxed, she let Cen Zhengnian and Cen Huaian stop.
If we don't go to eat, all the delicious food in the cafeteria will be eaten up at noon.
While eating, Chuxia's other colleagues in the hospital also knew that her husband and son came to see her specially, and they were very envious.
Chuxia and the other two could also feel the gazes of the hospital's doctors and nurses, and the three of them ate much faster.
Chuxia had time to rest at noon. Usually she would go to the dormitory to sleep for a while. But she was not the only one living in the dormitory, and she couldn't take Cen Zhengnian and Cen Huaian to the girls' dormitory, so the three of them returned to the hospital's lounge, which also had beds.
Feng Xiaoyuan rested in the dormitory at noon.
Chuxia wanted to talk to Cen Zhengnian and Cen Huaian for a while. After all, it was quite troublesome for them to come here, and it took a long time to take the car.
But she was really tired. Lying on the small bed in the lounge, talking to Cen Zhengnian and the others, her voice became smaller and smaller, and finally her consciousness fell into sleep.
Cen Zhengnian and Cen Huaian looked at each other, and they all stopped talking, and covered Chuxia with the small quilt on the bed.
The two sat quietly by the bed, and no one spoke. Cen Huaian took out a book to read, and Cen Zhengnian looked at Chuxia's beautiful sleeping face, and the affection in his eyes flowed out without reservation.
After seeing off Cen Zhengnian and Cen Huaian in the afternoon, Chuxia was even more listless after the consultation.
Feng Xiaoyuan was still saying to Chuxia: "Senior sister, I want to find a husband like yours who loves his wife in the future, not the kind of man who beats his wife every day!"
Chuxia nodded, "Yeah," and had no extra energy to reply her. Feng Xiaoyuan didn't mind, all she needed was a listener and a supporter.
Every week that followed, Cen Zhengnian and Cen Huaian would come over on Sundays, bringing food, drinks, and daily necessities to Chuxia, and also showing her An An's test scores.
Every time Cen Zhengnian came, he would ask Chuxia to check if he had taken good care of An An.
Feng Xiaoyuan had become envious to the point of numbness, and she felt the most as she sat next to Chuxia. Every time she saw Chuxia getting along with Cen Zhengnian and Cen Huaian, she felt like that extra stray dog on the street, who shouldn't be in the clinic at all.
In fact, they didn't do anything intimate, but there was a warm atmosphere that no one else could get into, which made people yearn for it.
In the second week, the woman with mid-stage ascites came over again with her husband. Her complexion didn't look as bad as last time, and her stomach had gone down a little.
Chinese medicine takes a long time to take effect. Chuxia told the two that it would conservatively take three months for them to recover, or at least two months.
The couple was not in a hurry. As long as they could be cured, they would be willing to wait a year.
Chuxia felt the woman's pulse and confirmed that she was getting better. She smiled and said, "You are doing very well. Keep it up. I will adjust the prescription. Take it for half a month and come back for a follow-up visit."
The woman felt the effect of Chuxia's medicine. She was not as uncomfortable as before. So they were more convinced of Chuxia now and took the prescription and thanked her repeatedly.
The leader said that they would have to stay for a month during the free clinic.
However, because there were too many people coming to see the doctor and the county hospital strongly requested, Chuxia and her friends stayed for another half a month.
Most patients were almost cured in this one and a half months. However, there are also patients who do not have enough time to recuperate.
It is not easy for these patients to come to the county town, let alone take a bus to the capital.
Chuxia is not the only one in this situation, so the leader decided to come to the county town once every half a month to cure the subsequent patients first.
Doctors cannot abandon their patients.
But what Chuxia did not expect was that the woman with ascites and her husband actually came to the affiliated hospital to find her.
At this time, the woman's belly had shrunk by more than half, and compared with the initial meeting, her whole complexion was different, and the swelling of her face and lower limbs was much better.
Seeing Chuxia, the two of them were like seeing a savior. They reached out and took out the sacks in their hands and were about to give the bags to Chuxia.
"This is a chicken we raised ourselves. Doctor Luo, take it home and stew it. It's delicious."
"I can't take it. The hospital has a rule. If I accept it, I'll lose my job."
The couple looked flustered: "We... we don't know, Doctor Luo, we haven't sent it out yet. Is it okay?"
"It's okay. Just don't send it out in the future. Let me see how you are."
After taking the pulse, Chuxia's smile got bigger: "You're recovering very well. Your hope of recovery is just around the corner."
The woman showed an excited and happy expression on her face. Her husband was as happy as she was. The simple joy also made Chuxia feel very good.
Not only the couple with ascites, but also other patients came to Beijing to see Chuxia. Chuxia's clinic became lively and no longer as deserted as before.
After Chuxia came back, Cen Zhengnian's vacation was long gone. He only had half a month off, and the institute would never let them rest for a long time.
So Cen Zhengnian's wish to take Chuxia and An'an out to play could only wait for the holiday.
On Sunday, Chuxia went to Grandpa Jiang's house with Cen Huaian and Cen Zhengnian. She was holding a bottle of medicinal wine.
As soon as the three entered Grandpa Jiang's house, they found that the atmosphere in the house was not right. Jiang Zhida stood next to the slot machine with a frown on his face, and opposite him was Jiang's second aunt Zhou Huaying, and her daughter-in-law Bai Han.
"Da Zi, you can put the slot machine in your own home, not in your grandpa's."
"Auntie, it's in grandpa's house for Lulu and An'an to play with."
Zhou Huaying: "Then move it back to your home and let them play. Weixian has learned bad habits in your grandpa's house."
Jiang Zhida looked at Jiang Weixian, then at Zhou Huaying: "It's only played once a week, and with grandpa watching, it didn't play for a long time, the consequences shouldn't be that serious."
At this time, Bai Han spoke, her appearance gave people a cold feeling, and so did her speech. But she didn't have Zhou Huaying's arrogance, and her speech was more organized.
"If Weixian only played at Grandpa's house, my mother and I wouldn't say anything." Bai Han frowned and said, "But after playing slot machines at Grandpa's house, Weixian has learned to secretly go to the street to play every day. When he loses money, he lies to me and his father in order to have money to play. If the slot machines are still here, he will never be able to quit playing games, and Weixian will be ruined."
Jiang Zhida looked at Jiang Weixian, and the anger in his eyes made his neck shrink, and fear appeared on his face.
