My newlywed husband is infertile, but I’m pregnant

Qiao Xi smiled and said, "Yes. Your rheumatism is not particularly serious. It's just that you didn't take good care of yourself during the recent rainy season, so it has become a little more severe. Stick out your tongue again and let me see."

Zhao Zhongguo stuck out his tongue obediently.

Qiao Xi withdrew his hand and wrote down Zhao Zhongguo's symptoms on the pulse record.

"You like spicy food, right?"

"Oh yes, Doctor Qiao, how did you know that? Just by looking at it, do you know everything?"

"You can't eat spicy food in the future, at least not for the next three years. Your rheumatism is still under control now. I'll write you a prescription. You go outside to pay and someone will take you to the pharmacy to get the medicine. If you need it prepared for you, please let them know."

"Is this good?"

Qiao Xi looked up at him and said, "Of course it's not healed. This prescription is for internal use, and this one is for external use. If you have the conditions at home, buy a bathtub or a tub for bathing. This is a month's supply of medicine, and you must remember to come for a checkup when the time comes. During this period, you cannot eat raw, spicy food, or high-fat or high-sugar food. You must control your mouth and don't walk too much."

"Health preservation, I understand. I...I must remember what Dr. Qiao said."

"Remember to come for a follow-up check-up. Don't take it lightly. This is how minor illnesses are delayed and turn into major ones, you know?"

"Hey, I get it."

"If you have any questions, you can contact the front desk of our Chinese medicine clinic. If you look for me, the front desk will pass on the message." This is because some patients have to travel long distances, and Qiao Xi has no other choice but to try her best to provide them with convenience.

Zhao Zhongguo nodded quickly and walked out with the prescription.

There were volunteers outside teaching him how to operate and where to go to the pharmacy.

The service was very good. He sent the prescription over and someone asked him if he needed someone to boil it. He quickly said he did, so the herbs were put on the other side, and soon a small stove belonging to him was lit.

"Why don't you use machines to boil the medicine here?"

"Doctor Qiao said that decocting medicine on a stove can better stimulate the medicinal properties. We apprentices have all received training. We start from recognizing the medicine, memorizing the prescription, picking up the medicine at the pharmacy, and then decocting the medicine. Finally, after becoming familiar with these processes, we can follow Doctor Qiao to see patients and learn."

Zhao Zhongguo nodded. No wonder there were a few greenhorns in formal attire following Dr. Qiao's office.

Those people are Dr. Qiao’s apprentices.

Zhao Zhongguo looked around at the brightly lit traditional Chinese medicine hall, and his heart also felt bright.

This trip was the right one!

The scenery in Haicheng is nice. He was thinking about renting a house in a remote suburb or small town, and then returning to the capital after his rheumatism is almost cured?

Thinking of this, the idea was like a spark that began to spread like wildfire.

He immediately called his wife who was far away in the imperial capital and asked her to come to Haicheng together. The old couple lived here for a while to relax. Their son was married, so their mission was completed.

Next, just take good care of yourself and enjoy life. Isn’t the purpose of life to pursue peace and happiness?

Zhao Zhongguo waited in the hall of the traditional Chinese medicine clinic for more than two hours, and the Chinese medicine was finally ready.

He took the Chinese medicine and went out happily. He felt that his legs didn't hurt anymore!

……

In the clinic.

I saw the last patient of the morning.

Qiao Xi stood up, rubbed her aching neck, and relaxed her legs and feet. Only then did she feel better.

"Master, this is a call from the Imperial Capital. You were too busy with your consultations before, and your phone kept ringing. I'll listen to you and will not answer any calls from anyone other than Mr. Huo's when you're seeing patients. But this number has been called several times, and it says it's from the Imperial Capital, but there's no note. Do you want to call back?"

Qiao Xi's most proud disciple is a top student from the medical school named Zhou Qing.

After graduation, she could have been assigned to a good hospital department, but she chose to come to the Chinese Medicine Hall to start as an apprentice. She came here three years ago, and has been with her since she started seeing patients at the Chinese Medicine Hall, step by step to where she is today.

Qiao Xi has allowed her to handle some minor problems on her own.

Qiao Xi took the phone and said, "Zhou Qing, you can go to the next clinic to register for consultation starting next week. If you encounter something you don't understand, come and ask me. You already have a solid foundation, and you have studied here for three years. You are very serious and careful in your work, and the next step is practical training."

"But I feel... I'm not good enough. I'm really worried that I'll delay the patient."

"I have to take this step. You have been doing very well when you were with me before. I think highly of you. Why don't you share my burden? Besides, there are more and more patients. If I were to treat them alone, I don't know how long I would have to wait. Their conditions can't wait."

Zhou Qing nodded when he heard it: "Okay, but I still have to learn from Master. If there are any difficult and complicated cases in the future, Master must ask me to watch."

"understood."

Zhou Qing is not much younger than Qiao Xi, but he respects his young master very much and sometimes even regards her words as imperial decrees.

With Zhou Qing's help, Qiao Xi felt much more relaxed.

She watched Zhou Qing leave, then picked up her phone and took a look at the several missed calls from the imperial capital.

Qiao Xi called back.

Someone soon picked up the phone.

"Hello, is this Doctor Qiao Xiqiao?"

"It's me. You called me a few times before but I didn't answer. I wanted to ask if you have anything urgent to tell me?"

There was a flurry of activity on the other end of the line.

Qiao Xi even heard Shen Xuanzhi's voice.

Soon someone else answered the phone, "Hello, this is Shen Xuanzhi."

Shen Xuanzhi's familiar voice came from the other end of the phone, and Qiao Xi's cheeks unconsciously showed a smile: "Shen Xuanzhi, long time no see. I almost forgot your voice. Congratulations on becoming the president of the Chinese Medicine Association."

Yes.

Not long ago, during the change of leadership, Shen Xuanzhi was promoted from vice president to full president.

Mr. Xiao retired because he was too old.

"You should know that the president's status is not as high as before. The Chinese Medicine Association is no longer a one-man show, but has become your management service organization. I am only responsible for managing some trivial matters. In fact, I... I prefer to treat illnesses."

But Shen Xuan knew his own talent. He could not compare to Qiao Xi, and perhaps he would never be able to achieve such success in his lifetime.

Moreover, he accepted the other path that fate had arranged for him.

Qiao Xi said softly: "Are you calling to tell me your good news?"

"It's just by the way. Guan Jingtan and I remarried. It was my initiative."

"Then... congratulations on finally letting it go." He let go of Huo Sijiao.

Shen Xuanzhi laughed and said, "When I was young and frivolous, I wanted to like someone but couldn't get him. Now I realize that I actually need a suitable partner. But this time I'm not here to tell you my good news. I have good news for you too."

Qiao Xi asked curiously, "What's my good news?"
