After all, if people find out that you eat too well, you will be beaten.
"Chicken stewed in pig's stomach, fish soup, meat, dumplings, bacon..."
Qin Li saw Chen Tan's concerns and told him the food he had eaten during this period as if he was naming dishes.
Xie Shuijun, who was standing by, drooled as he listened, muttering to himself, "I'm so hungry!"
Xie Junqian patted his grandson's head lovingly and took out a piece of glutinous rice sticks from the drawer and gave it to him.
He handed another one to Chen Tan and said, "No wonder you've changed so much. It's nothing. I'll give you some medicine. When you become a mother, you won't feel any pain."
Chen Tan waved his hand and didn't want the glutinous rice noodles.
Qin Li didn't understand the hidden meaning of Xie Junqian's words and asked anxiously, "Can't it be cured in one go?"
Xie Junqian said without hesitation: "Of course, after she gets married and has sex with a man, that will be fine."
"Don't spend the wedding night with her, Brother Li. Sister Caihua is so small, you can't spend the wedding night with her."
Xie Shuijun stood up and tried to stop him fiercely, but his soft voice had no deterrent effect at all.
Chen Tan blushed when he heard this and could only lower his head and remain silent.
"You are disrespectful to the elderly. Hurry up and get the medicine." Qin Li's face flushed suddenly, and he snorted in embarrassment. He looked at Xie Shuijun with a much softer expression, "Is there any meat at home?"
"there is none left."
Xie Shuijun shook his head, a look of grievance in his clear eyes.
Chen Tan looked at her, feeling pity in his heart. He moved his fingers, wanting to pinch her fair and pretty face.
"I understand." Qin Li nodded, his calm tone hiding care.
He secretly regretted that his attention had been on Shen Tan all this time and he had forgotten about these two men.
Xie Shuijun looked at Chen Tan and said, "Sister Caihua, you are married to Brother Li, you can't look at other men anymore!"
Chen Tan was stunned for a moment, and quickly looked away from him.
Social death!
I want to crush his face!
Then he raised his head and smiled brightly, stretched out his hand to Xie Shuijun and changed the subject.
"Hello, I changed my name to Chen Tan. I'm Brother Li's younger sister. I'm older than you. You can call me Sister Tan."
"Sister Tan, I like you very much," Xie Shuijun said with a completely childish heart. He held Chen Tan's hand and smiled like a fool. "Can I go play with you?"
"Of course, you're welcome to go," Chen Tan said sincerely, "I don't have any friends. If you don't mind that I'm ugly, I'm happy to be your friend."
"Don't mind, don't mind. I will be your best friend from now on."
As Xie Shuijun spoke, he hugged Chen Tan.
"Haha, Shuijun, go to the back and cook." Xie Junqian saw Qin Li's face turn as dark as the bottom of a pot after the two of them hugged him, and quickly sent his grandson away. "I have a recipe for scar treatment, would you like it?"
"want!"
"don't want!"
Qin Li and Shen Tan said in unison.
After saying that, the two looked at each other.
Chen Tan turned his face away guiltily.
Qin Li puffed out his cheeks. She was afraid that if she became pretty, he would do something to her.
Humph, I really underestimated him.
A gentleman never regrets his word.
"If she doesn't want it, forget it."
"Sister Tan, don't you want to be beautiful?" Xie Shuijun did not leave.
Chen Tan felt like a friend had stabbed him in the back. He pointed at the medicine cabinet with a sneer and said, "Shui Jun, do you have any medicine for frostbite here?"
She saw that Aunt Wu and Sister Liu Xu's hands were severely chapped, and she happened to have a recipe for an ointment to treat chapped hands.
But there needs to be a reason to bring it up.
Qin Li was slightly surprised by her words. His hands had been cracked by the cold in previous years.
This year it seems to be alright.
He quietly raised his hand and took a look. It seemed quite smooth.
Xie Shuijun has been learning medicine from his grandfather for many years. He understands the preparation and pharmacology of herbal medicine, but he cannot treat patients because he is considered a fool in the eyes of outsiders.
After listening to Chen Tan's words, he shook his head in frustration, "No, when they are sick, they go to the commune to buy medicine. They don't like to come to us and take bitter medicine."
Looking at his lost eyes, Chen Tan felt a little distressed.
There is no information about these two people in the book.
However, the original owner had heard about the past of the grandfather and grandson from those gossipy women.
The Xie family's ancestors have been practicing medicine for generations, and their family business is prosperous. They are also considered a famous family in the province.
Unfortunately, after that turbulent era, he and his grandson were the only ones left, hiding in this remote countryside and working as barefoot doctors.
But these days, farmers have no money.
For minor disasters and pains, you can just dig some herbs, boil them into water, or just endure it and it will go away. No one is willing to spend money on medicine.
If it's a serious illness, go to the hospital.
On the contrary, fewer and fewer people are interested in pure traditional Chinese medicine treatment.
Fortunately, Xie Junqian is a good acupuncturist.
Especially for women with difficult labor, he only needs to give them a few injections and the baby will be born safely.
Therefore, the brigade was happy to support the father and son.
But the food distributed to them was only enough for one person, so they lived a very difficult life.
Xie Junqian handed the weighed herbs to Qin Li and also expressed his feelings.
"Nowadays, people believe what doctors say. Herbal medicine is no longer popular among the people."
"I think the ability to observe, smell, ask and palpate is a remarkable skill. Just by feeling a person's pulse, you can tell what disease they have. This is the greatest legacy our ancestors left us!"
As Chen Tan spoke, he made no secret of his admiration for Chinese medicine and continued, "Doctor Xie, you, like my grandmother, are both truly remarkable people. You have passed down the essence of medicine that our ancestors have explored for thousands of years. You are worthy of learning and admiration from future generations."
"Oh, you're a very smart kid. Old Lady Qin's unique skills have been passed down to a successor."
Xie Junqian felt relieved after hearing what he said, and his affection for Chen Tan doubled.
But when he looked at his grandson, his eyes dimmed again. Even if he passed all his skills to him, he couldn't pass them on.
After thinking for a moment, he looked at Chen Tan and said solemnly, "Little girl, are you interested in learning medicine? I will teach you everything I know."
"Can I learn it too?" Chen Tan was a doctor in his previous life and was very interested in Chinese medicine.
It’s just that the pace of life in my previous life was fast, and in order to make ends meet, I didn’t have enough time to study, so I only understood the basics.
It will take another four years before I leave here. It would be a great thing if I could study Chinese medicine with Dr. Xie.
"As long as this brat agrees, I'd be more than happy to do it," Xie Junqian said, looking at Qin Li. "I have one more request. Please take good care of Shui Jun for me."
Life is hard nowadays, and no one wants to learn a job that doesn't pay.
He has always wanted to find a smart apprentice to pass on the Xie family's medical skills, so that his grandson can have someone to rely on.
The girl in front of him was full of tricks, but he liked her, and Qin Li was a man who valued friendship. He would die with peace of mind if he entrusted Shui Jun to the couple.
Chen Tan knew what Xie Junqian meant. She followed him to study medicine without any work points or money, and Qin Li couldn't keep supporting her like this forever.
Once the farming season gets busy, I have no energy to study medicine, and in the end, I can only learn the basics.
It seems that I still have to find a way to make money.
As for Xie Shuijun, she will not only take good care of him, but for the sake of the original owner, she will also spare no effort to cure him.
