Great Medicine Without Borders

Mr. Qiao's attitude was much kinder than Xu Chunliang expected. Judging from the old man's complexion, his physical condition was very poor, and his cough and asthma were very serious.

Even Ye Qingya, an outsider, could sense it and reminded Mr. Qiao with concern: "Grandpa Qiao, you should go to the hospital to recuperate."

Mr. Qiao said: "Anyway, we take medicine, the same at home." He has suffered from bronchial asthma for more than 50 years. It will occur every autumn and winter. This year is particularly serious. He was hospitalized for drug treatment, but it was only relieved at the time. After stopping the medicine, he started coughing and asthma again.

In addition to drug treatment, the doctor's advice to Mr. Qiao is to rest more and strengthen his physical fitness. Mr. Qiao believes that it is because of his advanced age. As he grows older, his health will only get worse. People can't refuse to accept old age.

Ye Qingya said: "Have you seen a Chinese medicine doctor?"

Mr. Qiao said: "I have. Rulong introduced a Chinese medicine doctor to me."

Xu Chunliang was startled when he heard this. Could the Chinese medicine doctor introduced to him by Qiao Rulong be Huang Youlong? In the past, Xu Chunliang might have offered to help Old Qiao take his pulse, but now he seemed to have no need to be so attentive, as the medical resources available to the Qiao family were already top-notch in the country.

Old Qiao looked at Xu Chunliang, who was cautious in his words and deeds, and felt that this young man had drifted away from the Qiao family. Of course, he could not blame him, but the Qiao family really owed him.

Old Qiao asked the nanny to bring the prescription written by the Chinese medicine doctor, and offered to let Xu Chunliang help take a look.

Xu Chunliang was humble at first, but still took the prescription and looked at it. This was the prescription for Jiebiao Huatan Pingchuan Decoction, which had the effects of warming and relieving exterior symptoms, regulating qi and lowering adverse reactions, and resolving phlegm and relieving asthma.

Judging from the composition and compatibility of the prescription, the prescriber did have a deep skill. Xu Chunliang paid attention to the prescriber, and the three big characters Huang Youlong were clearly visible. Sure enough, it was Huang Youlong who was introduced to Old Qiao by Qiao Rulong.

Xu Chunliang said, "Mr. Qiao, you just said it was Chinese medicine. This doctor seems to be a Korean doctor from Mingde Hospital."

Mr. Qiao said, "This doctor Huang is a Chinese medicine doctor. Later, he became a Korean citizen. By the way, Rulong said that he has excellent medical skills. He also cured Wang Zhengdao's stubborn disease."

Xu Chunliang said, "I have heard of this."

Mr. Qiao said, "What do you think of this prescription?"

Xu Chunliang smiled calmly and said, "Mr. Qiao, I am just a beginner in Chinese medicine. I dare not comment on the prescription of such a famous doctor."

Mr. Qiao sighed in his heart. It seems that the grudge in his heart cannot be eliminated.

Ye Qingya saw that Xu Chunliang was not comfortable and took the initiative to say goodbye. Mr. Qiao did not keep them.

When they came outside, they happened to meet Qiao Yuanjiang coming in from outside. Ye Qingya called him Uncle Qiao.

Qiao Yuanjiang said, "You are leaving so soon?"

Ye Qingya said, "You still have to go to the Wang family."

Qiao Yuanjiang nodded. The relationship between the three families has always been good. Ye Qingya will naturally go to the Wang family when she comes to the Qiao family.

After watching them drive away, Qiao Yuanjiang returned to the living room and saw his father still sitting there, staring blankly at the prescription on the coffee table.

Qiao Yuanjiang walked over quietly and said respectfully: "Dad, go back to your room and rest first."

Qiao Lao glanced at him: "Yuanjiang, do you think I don't have much time left?"

Qiao Yuanjiang smiled and said: "Look at what you said, it's just a minor problem. You have it every year. This is not what you said."

Qiao Lao sighed and said: "Everyone will have that day sooner or later, no one can escape it."

Qiao Yuanjiang said: "Dad, don't think about it, go and rest."

Qiao Lao said: "I have been thinking about the past recently. I remember someone said that when a person always recalls the past, it means that he is about to leave this world."

Qiao Yuanjiang did not speak. His father's words did not cause much waves in his heart. If it were a few years ago, he would definitely feel nervous. He would think that if his father left, he would lose the strongest backer, which means that there would be no room for improvement in his institutional path.

Now Qiao Yuanjiang's career in the system has come to an end. He is in semi-retirement. His father was right. Sooner or later, everyone will have that day. Qiao Yuanjiang unknowingly accepted his mediocrity and the reality of the Qiao family's desolation.

Qiao Laodao: "I only have one wish now..." He didn't finish his words.

Qiao Yuanjiang already understood that his father's wish was probably to see Qiao Yuanshan, who had been with him for many years, before leaving this world.

Qiao Yuanjiang didn't care. His father and brothers had long become the shackles that trapped his heart. For him, only when they all left could he get real relief.

On the way back, Xu Chunliang became a little silent.

While driving, Ye Qingya secretly glanced at him with the corner of her eyes and whispered: "Does it affect your mood?" She certainly knew that Xu Chunliang didn't want to go to the Qiao family.

Xu Chunliang shook his head: "No, I'm thinking about Mr. Qiao's illness."

"Is it serious?"

"Not serious, but Mr. Qiao probably won't have much time left."

Ye Qingya exclaimed: "Isn't that serious?"

Xu Chunliang said: "It's not the disease itself that's serious, but his will. I can't see the fighting spirit in Mr. Qiao's eyes. For someone like him, losing fighting spirit means losing vitality."

Ye Qingya fell silent. Xu Chunliang's words reminded her of her grandfather. Whether she was willing or not, she would eventually face the reality of their aging.

When Xu Chunliang and Ye Qingya returned to the Ye family, Secretary Zhou and his wife were there. They came to visit Mr. Ye in advance this time, but Mr. Ye did not mention Xu Chunliang in the conversation just now, so Secretary Zhou did not know that Xu Chunliang would come.

Mr. Ye smiled and said, "You two should stay and have dinner together. Chunliang is here too. You haven't seen each other for a long time, right?"

Secretary Zhou said, "Not long, Mr. Ye. I also want to stay, but there has been heavy snow in the south recently. I have to leave today to direct the disaster relief work."

Mr. Ye nodded, and couldn't help but think of his son who died in the line of duty, and whispered, "Be careful."

Secretary Zhou said, "I understand."

He glanced at his wife Shu Yao, and the two stood up to say goodbye. Mr. Ye asked Xu Chunliang and Ye Qingya to see him off.

Ye Qingya accompanied Shu Yao, and Secretary Zhou and Xu Chunliang walked together.

Because Zhou Deming and Xu Chunliang's cousin Zhen Chun have already established a romantic relationship, Secretary Zhou also knows about Xu Chunliang's recent situation. Facing this junior, Secretary Zhou did not say much to him: "Chunliang, if you are not satisfied with your work in Dongzhou, transfer to Beijing, continue to do civil affairs work, and help me."

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "Thank you, Uncle Zhou." The change of address from Secretary Zhou to Uncle Zhou happened after the last grandfather's funeral, which also represents the extraordinary relationship between the two families.

Secretary Zhou said, "We are family, what are you thanking?"

Xu Chunliang said, "I decided to go to Jeju to work in cultural tourism."

Secretary Zhou nodded, knowing that Xu Chunliang's job destination had been arranged, and he didn't need to worry about it. Mr. Ye would not sit idly by and watch this godson.

Secretary Zhou said, "Not bad, you have expertise in cultural tourism." He immediately understood the deep meaning of such an arrangement. The foresight of the older generation is still beyond his reach.

Xu Chunliang said, "I was originally planning to go to your home to wish you a happy new year."

Secretary Zhou smiled and said, "Unfortunately, I'm afraid I can't go back to Beijing this Spring Festival. Even if I finish my work, I still have to go to Nan'an. The old lady has returned to her hometown, and as a son, I have to go there to see her."

Xu Chunliang said, "I haven't seen Grandma Zhou for a while."

Secretary Zhou said, "She often talks about you. If you have time, you can take the time to visit. I'll give you the address. My hometown is beautiful and it's simply a paradise. You are not busy at work now, so just take a vacation. By the way, Deming and Zhenchun will go back to their hometown for the Spring Festival this year. They should leave after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."

After hearing what he said, Xu Chunliang had the idea of ​​going there.

Ye Qingya and Shu Yao chatted very well. It was not until Secretary Zhou urged her that Shu Yao stopped talking, waved to Xu Chunliang, and got in the car.

Ye Qingya watched them go away and whispered, "I feel they have become younger."

Xu Chunliang said, "Power makes people younger."

Ye Qingya couldn't help laughing, "When did you learn to pretend to be deep?"

Xu Chunliang really didn't pretend to be deep. He also felt that Secretary Zhou had become younger. When Secretary Zhou went from Dongzhou to the province, he had seen his state during that period, which was completely different from now.

Even Secretary Zhou himself didn't expect that his career, which was originally at the end, would be revived because of Ye Changyuan's accidental death. It was Old Ye who pushed him to his current position.

Xu Chunliang brought a lot of New Year's goods to Old Ye, including the Baotian Pill he made by himself. It was a carefully selected medicine for Old Ye's physical condition. Regular use can prevent diseases, strengthen the body, and prolong life.

Xu Chunliang carefully told Old Ye the method of taking and precautions, and Ye Qingya was listening on the side.

Old Ye knew Xu Chunliang's medical skills very well, and he also asked about the main ingredients of the medicine. From the ingredients alone, it can be known that it is extremely precious. It seems that he spent a lot of thought on making these medicines.

Old Ye said, "Chunliang is really thoughtful."

Ye Qingya said, "Of course, these herbs are carefully selected by him, and they are not easy to come by. Grandpa, you must be obedient and take them on time."

Old Ye nodded and said, "Good! Good! Good!" He said three good words in a row.

Ye Qingya let the two of them talk, and got up to prepare a room for Xu Chunliang.

Old Ye stretched out his left hand and held Xu Chunliang's right hand: "Chunliang, you stay at home for a few more days and talk to grandpa, okay?"

Xu Chunliang said, "Grandpa, I will stay at home with you these few days."

Old Ye pursed his lips and said softly, "Good boy."

Xu Chunliang took the opportunity to offer to take his pulse. After checking Old Ye, he found that he was in good health and felt comforted.

Old Ye knew that he was worried about his health, so he told Xu Chunliang that his mood had calmed down and told him not to worry about himself.
