The Peasant Wife: The Prime Minister's Beloved

The woman's face was full of worry. She was worried about her grandson's illness and afraid of being blamed by her children.

Chen Xi carefully pried open the child's eyelids, only to see a few slender white worms wriggling in the clear eyes, which made people feel pity.

"Don't worry, this is a conjunctival sucking nematode. There is a way to remove it safely."

Chen Xi's tone was calm and full of confidence. She knew that there were special eye drops hidden in the villa's pharmacy that could effectively deal with this parasite.

So, she made an excuse to look for medicine, and using her special ability in the space, she quickly found the medicine she needed, carefully poured the medicine into a special vial, and then returned to the clinic.

"Please sit down with your grandson in your arms. I will put some eye drops in his eyes now."

Chen Xi's voice was gentle and firm, like a soothing medicine that eased the woman's nervousness.

The woman quickly lifted the child up gently, and carefully adjusted the height to a safe and easy-to-operate height, fearing that excessive movement would disturb the child.

The cool smell of the medicine permeated the air. Several hair-thin, translucent insects seemed to sense the external stimulation and slowly crawled out from the corners of the child's eyes. Their appearance made the people around them frown.

The soft cotton ball was held by Chen Xi's deft fingers and gently brushed across the child's eyelids, like the gentlest breeze in spring, taking away those uncomfortable bugs.

Then he checked again carefully to make sure that he had not missed any trace of insects. His eyes were focused and determined, as if he was fighting a silent battle.

"Doctor, have all the nematodes you mentioned been removed? Do you want to take a closer look?"

The woman's voice was a little anxious, her expression was uneasy, and she held the child tightly in her arms, as if that was her only support.

Chen Xi smiled gently and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, the bugs have been completely expelled. Now, we need to clean his eyes. Hold the child tightly and don't let him move."

In Renhe Hall, apart from this mother and son, there were no other patients waiting, so the place seemed exceptionally quiet.

Fang Wenfu, Mo Hua, and Mo Qin also gathered around, their eyes filled with curiosity and admiration for Chen Xi's superb medical skills, quietly observing every detail.

Time flowed slowly in silence. After an incense stick of time, Chen Xi finally completed all the processing.

"These two bottles contain my special medicine. Put one drop in the child's eyes every morning and evening."

He pointed to two bottles of potion placed side by side on the table and explained that one bottle exuded a faint herbal aroma and was used to kill bacteria; the other bottle had a subtle luster and had anti-toxic effects.

After this series of treatments, the child's eyes were obviously relieved and no longer itchy.

"Thank you, doctor. I'm so grateful!"

The woman thanked him repeatedly, her tone filled with sincere gratitude.

"You're welcome. I would also like to ask if you have any small animals at home?"

Chen Xi asked immediately, a hint of concern between his brows.

The woman was surprised when she heard this. "Doctor, you are not only a great doctor, but you can also see into people's hearts. Indeed, we have a cat at home. My grandson often plays with it and even hugs it when he sleeps."

Chen Xi sighed inwardly. Conjunctival sucking nematodes often parasitize in the eyes of cats and dogs, and can be transmitted to humans through contact. This situation is not uncommon.

“Want to know why your grandson has bugs in his eyes?”

Upon hearing this, the woman hurriedly shook her head, her heart full of regret. If she had known earlier, she would never have let her grandson suffer such pain.

"The problem is with the cat?"

The woman looked incredulous. "What? I've had this cat for years. Could it be a monster? I've had it for so long. How could it harm my grandson?"

Chen Xi didn't expect that his words would cause such rich associations in the woman, and he secretly admired her imagination.

"That's not the case. These bugs can parasitize cats and dogs. Children often play with cats and may be infected inadvertently."

He patiently explained, "So, in order to avoid this happening again, remember to wash your hands and maintain personal hygiene every time you come into contact with a cat."

The woman suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly, "So that's how it is. Thank you for your reminder, doctor!"

Chen Xi gave a few more instructions, and the woman paid the consultation fee, holding her grandson in her arms and the medicine in her hand, and left Renhetang with gratitude.

"Master, can the bugs on cats and dogs really be transmitted to humans?"

Mo Hua asked curiously.

"Some bugs are zoonotic and can naturally parasitize in the human body."

Chen Xi answered, and Mo Hua nodded, with even greater admiration for his master's knowledge.

"After touching cats and dogs, you must wash your hands frequently to avoid accidentally catching something."

Mo Hua and Mo Qin answered in unison. Chen Xi's eyes accidentally fell on Fang Wenfu who was sitting back in the rocking chair.

"Master, did you hear me? You should wash your hands frequently no matter what you do. Be careful not to let bugs get into your stomach."

Fang Wenfu responded impatiently: "I know, I know, stop nagging."

As the night deepened, the Chen Mansion became quiet.

"Mom, Grandpa Fang said there's a kid with worms in his eyes. Is that true?"

After listening to Fang Wenfu's vivid narration, Xiao Chen couldn't wait to run to Chen Xi to verify it.

"It's true, but mom has helped him remove the worms, and he's fine now."

Chen Xi gently stroked Xiao Chen's head. Xiao Chen nodded as if he understood, his eyes sparkling with curiosity about the unknown world.

Chen Xi then called Xiao Yang over and patiently explained the knowledge about parasites to the two children, and once again emphasized the importance of maintaining hygiene.

Fortunately, the two children usually pay attention to cleanliness and have never been troubled by parasites.

But considering the fragile constitution of children, Chen Xi specially prepared a medicinal soup to enhance immunity and let the children take it at night. Of course, he also prepared a portion for Fang Wenfu, who loves to enjoy life.

Fang Wenfu is a well-known food lover at home. He often strolls into the shop and brings back various delicious cakes. He tastes them while sipping tea, and occasionally pairs them with a dose of medicinal soup to prevent diseases. He lives a leisurely and comfortable life.

"Dad, when are you going to the academy?"

After Xiaoyang and Xiaochen pestered Chen Xi with questions, they turned to Xie Tianyi who was about to leave.

"I'll go tomorrow. Be good at home and don't let your mother worry."

Xie Tianyi said lovingly.

Xiao Chen pouted and said seriously: "We won't make Mom sad. We are Mom's happy pills!"

Xiao Yang also echoed: "Don't worry, Dad, we miss you so much!"

Xie Tianyi smiled and rubbed the two children's heads. To them, the children's laughter was the warmest sunshine in their ordinary days.

Since Xie Tianyi was going to the academy the next day, Chen Xi was busy all day preparing his luggage.
