Siheyuan: 55 years, starting from a buyer

Chapter 18 No Need to Be Modest

Although she is over 70 years old, she is still in good health and the examination results show nothing serious.

"You are in fairly good health."

Mr. Chen informed.

The old lady was in a good mood when she heard that he was fine, and she temporarily stopped pretending to be deaf.

"Ma'am, please wait on the side.

Uncle, Aunt, which one do you want me to help first? I am quite interested in these two childless old people. "

The two looked at each other, and Yi Zhonghai said, "We are all fine, let others take their turn first."

“It’s okay, seeing a doctor is saving lives.

Uncle Yi, you can sit first, no need to be polite."

Mr. Chen persisted in persuading him.

After Chen Sheng's persuasion, Yi Zhonghai finally sat down, unable to resist the sincerity and enthusiasm of this doctor.

Chinese medicine doctor Chen carefully diagnosed for a while, and then said: "Uncle, your physical condition is generally good, only a little kidney essence loss, this condition has existed for some time, and it does not affect your normal life at present."

Faced with these words, Yi Zhonghai did not express his opinion immediately, probably because he already knew about his own physical condition.

When the old lady sat down, Mr. Chen felt her pulse silently for a long time, and then started asking questions.

"Old lady, it seems that there is something wrong with your heart. You should keep a happy mood every day, try to be tolerant when encountering things, and don't get angry or overly anxious.

This problem is not very serious.”

"In addition, your Qi and blood are slightly insufficient, so I need to replenish your nutrients.

It will improve in about half a year, so don’t take it lightly, as the impact on your health cannot be ignored.”

After hearing these remarks, a trace of uneasiness flashed through the three people's hearts. Heart problems were undoubtedly a serious issue.

Yi Zhonghai asked tremblingly, "Xiao Chen, there won't be any danger, right?"

He is lonely and helpless, and he would be at a loss what to do if his partner were to fail.

Mr. Chen replied: "It mainly depends on conditioning. First stabilize the physical condition and then use medicine as appropriate to prevent overwork and mood swings.

Taking time out to see a Western doctor may also help, but they may not be able to provide the best solution.”

Mr. Chen gave some advice, but he didn't have much hope that Yi Zhonghai would completely believe it.

Finally, Yi Zhonghai pleaded: "Xiao Chen, please prescribe some medicine."

Mr. Chen agreed, "Okay, Auntie, I will prepare some medicine for you to recuperate, but I must remind you that the medicine is expensive.

Let the body recover gradually first, and then discuss further treatment."

He stressed that although medication is important, maintaining physical and mental health is even more fundamental.

After giving her the precautions for taking the medicine, Mr. Chen realized that the old lady was kind-hearted, and if there was anything he could do, he would try his best to lend her a helping hand.

Next, he explains some health-preserving strategies that were proven effective in his time.

He believes that although Chinese medicine cannot completely cure heart disease, it can alleviate the condition through a simple and light diet low in salt and fat, and eating more fruits and vegetables and less oil and spicy food.

The three of them left with heavy expressions. Yi Zhonghai's worry was obviously due to his concern for his wife's safety, while the deaf old lady felt lost, probably because she realized that Yi Zhonghai didn't want her to work hard every day and was only willing to help occasionally.

Immediately afterwards, Yan Fugui's family members were examined one by one. Yan Fugui kept asking questions and paid attention to the various minor ailments of his family.

Mr. Chen pointed out with a hint of helplessness: "Grandpa, your whole family is in good health, but you need to focus on replenishing nutrients. Now everyone seems to be malnourished."

In fact, Mr. Chen has already figured out the financial situation of Yan Fugui's family. Taking into account factors such as subsidies, the income of about 60 or 70 yuan is enough to support the whole family, so there is no need to be so frugal.

Although TV dramas often mention "thirty or forty"

Mr. Chen guessed that the salary might be to express poverty, but in fact he might be used to saving.

Mr. Chen made a guess about Yan Jiecheng's decision: his fertility problem might be related to long-term nutritional deficiency.

But he also understood that his advice might not be effective unless he could help them change their habit of saving.

As for Jia's family, they came to visit on their own initiative when Yi Zhonghai might have already prescribed the medicine.

As soon as Jia Zhang entered the room, she sat down casually and stretched out her hand for Mr. Chen to take her pulse.

After the diagnosis, Mr. Chen said, "Brother Dongxu, Auntie is fine. She just needs to control the amount of painkillers she takes.

"Maybe I've really been infected now, and I won't feel comfortable if I don't eat it."

Mr. Chen's attitude towards Jia Zhang was a little cold. He speculated that she might have been addicted to smoking in the past, but now she could only rely on painkillers to maintain her addiction because she could not get tobacco.

"Brother Chen Sheng, please save my life!"

One day, Mr. Chen was taking a nap at home. Suddenly, Xu Damao broke into the room and shouted for help.

"What happened, Brother Damao? Don't be impatient, tell me slowly,"

Faced with the sudden situation, although he was alert, Chen Sheng's calming emotions were not shaken.

"Mr. Chen, where did my master go?"

Xu Damao seemed extremely nervous.

"Master? You mean Master?"

Chen Sheng was stunned for a moment when he first heard it, but he quickly understood what Xu Damao meant.

"Ah, my master asked the boss to take him to the south to handle some important matters."

"Then... when will Master be able to come back?" Xu Damao's anxious eyes revealed impatience.

"Oh, I'm not sure... I guess I won't be back for three months to six months."

Chen was afraid that Xu Damao would be anxious, so he tried to give an optimistic estimate.

Mr. Chen did not ask about the specific situation, but he had heard that his master was called out to deal with important matters.

"Brother Damao, tell me what happened in detail, I may be able to help.

"Seeing Xu Damao so anxious, Chen Sheng couldn't help but feel at a loss.

"Originally, your master has been helping me with my treatment, but he has been away recently, so I found someone else to take his place... but it didn't work, and the situation has become even more different."

Xu Damao looked extremely painful as he told the story.

Seeing his friend in trouble, Chen Sheng could only lend a helping hand to the best of his ability, "Well, take off your pants first so I can take a look.

"

Hearing this, Xu Damao hesitated for a moment with some embarrassment, but finally took off his pants.

Mr. Chen knew the cause of the disease at a glance.

“Okay, I understand the problem, put on your pants quickly.

There is no cure for this disease, we can only try to contain it.”

As he spoke, Mr. Chen felt helpless about Xu Damao's unhealthy lifestyle.

"Go to the hospital and get antibiotics. Maybe an injection of penicillin will give you some relief.

After your condition has stabilized, I will help you prepare a long-term regimen.

As long as you don't do anything reckless, there won't be any big problems."

He provided Xu Damao with a practical suggestion. After all, penicillin was already quite readily available and cheap at that time.

Xu Damao was puzzled: "What about penicillin? Is it something very valuable?"

"It's actually penicillin." Chen corrected quickly for fear of causing confusion.

"Hiss, such a precious thing, it is said to be priceless..." It seems that Xu Damao has some misunderstandings about this medicine.

In fact, with the large-scale promotion of penicillin during this period, it was already very affordable.

Mr. Chen chuckled and corrected him: "That's outdated information.

Penicillin is very cheap now, so go to the hospital quickly and control the inflammation as soon as possible to avoid it getting too bad.

Otherwise, you will need major surgery, such as surgery."

Jokes aside, he was indeed reminding Xu Damao that the situation was urgent.

This warning made Xu Damao feel relieved instantly.

If Xu Damao had not been resistant to traditional Chinese medicine, Mr. Chen could have treated him from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine. Although the treatment would take a longer time, it could ensure recovery.

No herb or preparation can match penicillin in terms of its anti-inflammatory effects.

Finally, Xu Damao was persuaded to face the reality and urged to get injection treatment immediately.

Under the control of continuous medication, Mr. Chen is confident in his ability to cure the disease because his school has rich experience in treating such diseases.

A week later, Xu Damao regained a lot of energy and returned to the yard full of energy.

He was holding a bottle of wine in one hand and some local specialties, and he arrived at Mr. Chen's door with a slightly drunken step.

"Brother Chen, you are my savior and have helped me a lot. I have been getting a lot better after receiving the IV drip for a few days."

He expressed his heartfelt gratitude to his benefactor and placed his thank-you gift in the kitchen.

“We are brothers, so don’t be polite.

When you recover, we can have a toast and talk again."

Chen Sheng agreed with full energy, as if they had forgotten all the worries just now.

It is undeniable that Xu Damao is indeed good at communication, generous and understands investment, which is part of the reason why he was able to win the trust and favor of his leaders.

"Still waiting until tomorrow? Why not have a couple of drinks now?"

Xu Damao seemed to be itching to do something.

Chen Chengcheng became a new laughing stock and a helpless figure for Xu Damao, a hot-tempered man.

This guy really didn't learn his lesson even after suffering a loss. "Lao Xu, you have been vaccinated and cannot drink alcohol. You must remember this.

Although there won't be much danger to your life, you will still be the one who feels uncomfortable.

"

Xu Damao shrugged slightly in disappointment, then regained his energy.

"Well, wait for two more days, and then I'll treat you to a proper celebration."

In fact, there is a reason behind Chen Sheng and Xu Damao's close relationship: the two have different images in the eyes of outsiders.

Although Xu Damao is greedy, lustful, selfish, and speaks without thinking, to some extent, their personalities are similar.

However, unlike Xu Damao, who was clearly known and understood by the people in the compound, Chen Sheng was a master of hiding and was good at disguising himself.

"I noticed that the atmosphere in the store seems to be a bit bad recently."

Mr. Chen, who has been lazy recently, was not very clear about the current situation in the store. When he came here today, he found something unusual and asked Mr. Li directly about the whole story.

Purchasing Manager Li hesitated for a moment.

"How can I explain this matter..."

He obviously didn't want to talk about it too much.

"Recently, the higher-ups have been emphasizing conservation, so..."

After listening to Li Caigou's explanation, Mr. Chen understood.

In times like these, frugality is always mentioned, and it is not a bad thing; however, it is sometimes implemented too harshly.

In the past, whenever Chen Shengsheng requested a new broom, he would receive one that was in tatters.

Nowadays, people are too stingy, which has led to a reduction in welfare for everyone, and people naturally tend to be selfish.

Employees were used to small favors from time to time, and now that they have nothing, their morale is inevitably low.

"Are you planning to go out today?" Purchasing Manager Li asked with concern. He usually wouldn't bother Mr. Chen too much, as long as it didn't affect the performance. The relationship between the two has always been harmonious.

"I don't think there's anything urgent right now, so just stay in the store."

Mr. Chen also knows his limits. It's okay to slack off occasionally, but it would be bad if he does it too frequently.

---

"Hey, bro, let me tell you something new. My mom recently introduced me to a girl who's the daughter of a very wealthy family."

Xu Damao's drunken show-off strikes again.

"Lao Xu, don't forget me when you become rich.

"Mr. Chen guessed that maybe that family had contacted Xu's mother.

"I know. The woman in the big house will be the daughter-in-law of my Xu family sooner or later."

Xu Damao's tongue was twitching, and his words were a little out of control: "It hasn't been finalized yet, but people have begun to loosen up.

With my charm, she is like a toy."

Speaking of this, Mr. Chen couldn't help but believe it: think about the widows he had fooled one after another in the countryside, and then Yu Haitang and Qin Jingru.

If Xu Damao had not indulged himself to the point of being physically weak or having no offspring, he might have been considered a successful person.

I once had wealth, women, and a free life.

Mr. Chen never intended to save anyone. To be frank, how many good people can there be in a rich and powerful family? After all, in the game of power and wealth, it is often difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

Chen Sheng does not intend to work like a slave for others, nor does he want to be involved in the complicated relationships of a wealthy family like the Lou family. He just wants to live an ordinary daily life.

"Come on, drink! Drink! Drink!" Xu Damao has a special ability - he can get people drunk, which is a skill that Chen Sheng admires very much.

"I give up. I really can't drink anymore. How about we play another game another day?" Seeing that Xu Damao was unable to control himself, Chen Sheng could only arrange for him to fall asleep before leaving.

Two days later, Xu Damao found Chen Sheng again and shouted excitedly: "Brother! My blind date was successful! Here is the wine to celebrate!"

“That is indeed something to celebrate.

"Recently, Mr. Chen found that he actually enjoyed Xu Damao's bragging, perhaps because it was a little fun in his ordinary life.

This guy is really capable.

"Tell me more about it.

"Mr. Chen was also curious about this news.

"You may not know much about it. Have you heard of the Lou family?" Xu Damao asked somewhat complacently.

Mr. Chen said frankly: "I have never heard of it, so you can just think of me as a loyal audience member.

"

“Hehe, their family is a legend in half the city.

Although they donated most of their property, their status is still top-notch.

"Xu Damao poured himself a cup of tea, drank it in one gulp, and then continued to narrate with excitement on his face.

“I heard that your mother works for the Lou family. You said it so well, it seems that she has a good relationship with them.

"Mr. Chen responded, intending to ease the atmosphere.

“Yes, my mother and Mrs. Lou have a very good relationship.

She helped to put in some good words, and the other party agreed to let us meet.

After we met, she told me that Lou Da was very satisfied with me, and that the marriage should be fine this time! "Xu Damao asked excitedly: "How is it? What do you think?"

Mr. Chen reminded him, "Keep your voice down. It won't be good if the wedding news spreads too early."

After hearing this, Xu Damao quickly lowered his voice and assured, "That's true. If those idle people knew about it, they would definitely spread it around, especially that guy Sha Zhu, he loves to stir up trouble.

"

"Brother, I need your help with something.

I want to set up a few tables in the yard, can you help me prepare some goods? "He made a new request.

"Are you still missing something? I see you always bring a lot with you. If you go to the countryside, there will always be folks who can help you.

"Mr. Chen was puzzled.

Xu Damao spread his hands and explained, "The things I brought back before have been exchanged for cash. I don't need that much, and I'm often not at home.

Time is running out and I'm afraid I can't find good things in the city. Please be kind and help me. I need more meat. I have meat coupons but good quality ones are hard to find, especially elbows, ribs, pork heads, and some other varieties. Please help me get them.

“He looked a little embarrassed when he spoke.

Mr. Chen didn't mind, because after all, they were friends, so it was no problem for him to help with the preparations.

So, ask: "How many people are you going to prepare food for?"

"We plan to host six tables, and each table will order pork elbows, spare ribs, pork heads, and other meats.

"Mr. Chen was a little surprised when he heard this. At that time, there were usually only six simple dishes at the wedding, with a combination of hot and cold dishes, very little meat, and mainly vegetables and tofu. Even in big cities like Beijing, neighbors often brought their own food to get married.

Mr. Chen could only sigh: "Are you planning a grand banquet?...Okay, I will prepare it for you.
