Reborn, taking my wife to college

Li Changyan's cousin Lin Xiaowei is four or five years older than Li Changyan and also suffers from dysmenorrhea.

I don't know where my aunt got the information about a retired Chinese medicine doctor.

She took her cousin to see a doctor twice and took Chinese medicine twice, and now she hasn't heard her say she feels pain anymore.

After Xu Hui found out the old Chinese doctor's home address from her sister, she called her husband Li Ziqiang to tell him about it.

She plans to take her daughter to the hospital with Li Ziqiang tomorrow, Saturday, and check if there are any other problems.

It is best to cure any illness while you are still young so that you won’t have to suffer too much when you get married, have children, and grow old.

After dinner, Li Changyan washed up and went to bed early.

Early on Saturday morning, Li Changyan was dug out of bed by Xu Hui.

Urge her to brush her teeth, wash her face, tie her hair, and eat breakfast.

After breakfast, the family of three set out to see the old Chinese doctor.

The old Chinese doctor’s home is in another town, which takes more than 40 minutes to drive there.

When Li Changyan and his friends arrived, the old Chinese medicine shop had not yet opened its door, but there were already four or five people queuing at the door.

At nine o'clock, the old Chinese doctor opened the door.

The old man was seventy-three years old, with a half-grown grey beard and grey hair.

Her skin is fair and lustrous, her face is rosy, and her blood is abundant. At first sight, one can't help but sigh: She is worthy of studying medicine!

The old Chinese doctor himself is a living signboard. He is in his seventies but looks only sixty years old.

The place where the old Chinese doctor sees patients is his own home, a self-built house in the countryside with four or five floors, and the first floor has been converted into a Chinese medicine clinic.

It is divided into two rooms, the one for consultation is in the inner room and the one for waiting is in the outer room.

I didn't see a pharmacy. It is said that the old Chinese doctor only prescribes medicine but doesn't dispense it.

Everyone goes in for consultation in the order they line up.

Li Changyan and the others were waiting outside.

Not to mention, Chinese medicine doesn’t taste good.

Li Changyan took a deep breath and smelled the fragrance of Chinese medicine, which was quite comfortable.

When it was Li Changyan and his friends' turn, it was almost ten o'clock.

When entering the inner room, the old Chinese doctor signaled to the person who wanted to see the doctor to sit down.

Li Changyan handed the bag to his father and sat on the stool.

The old Chinese doctor pushed the pulse pillow on the table and motioned Li Changyan to put his hand on it.

Look, smell, ask and feel.

The old Chinese doctor observed Li Changyan's face and asked her, "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

Xu Hui: "Doctor, my daughter has severe dysmenorrhea. I would like you to see how to treat her. And please check if there are any other problems and see if they can be treated together."

The old Chinese doctor concentrated on feeling the pulse: "Qi deficiency, phlegm-damp constitution... Just control your weight a little bit, that's enough, don't gain any more weight."

"You also have chronic gastritis. Remember to eat less spicy and irritating foods..."

“When was your last period?”

Li Changyan: "Four or five days ago, today is the fifth day, and it will end tomorrow."

"Cold uterus, insufficient blood and qi, irregular menstruation, it seems that you usually eat a lot of cold food, and avoid drinking ice water in winter..."

Li Changyan lowered his head silently, not daring to look back at his parents for fear of being scolded.

Xu Hui thought to herself, "I must be more strict with my daughter's diet in the future. I'll go find Jia Jia and ask her to help look after my daughter while she's at school."

The old Chinese doctor continued: "Have you also had insomnia symptoms recently?"

Li Changyan answered honestly: "Yes, I didn't sleep well in the past week."

"I can't fall asleep at night. I can't fall asleep until one or two o'clock. My sleep is shallow. The slightest movement will wake me up. After waking up, I can't fall asleep again..."

The old Chinese doctor signaled Li Changyan with his eyes to put his other hand on the pulse pillow, close his eyes, and concentrate on taking the pulse for a while.

Open your eyes and nod to indicate that it is okay.

Li Changyan put his hand down.

The three people and six pairs of eyes all looked at the old Chinese doctor, waiting for what to say next.

The old man looked up and asked Li Ziqiang, Xu Hui, and Li Changyan:

"There are two prominent problems now, and it will take some time to adjust them."

"One is to regulate the stomach, the other is to regulate menstruation..."

"I suggest you regulate your menstruation first. Stomach problems will take longer to resolve. While regulating your menstruation, pay attention to your diet and take care of your stomach first."

Xu Hui: "Okay, okay, we'll follow your instructions."

The old Chinese doctor said: "First prescribe a course of treatment, 21 days of Chinese medicine. After you take the medicine, boil it with three bowls of water into one bowl..."

"Start drinking it three days after your period ends."

Xu Hui: "Doctor, my daughter is in the first year of high school and lives in the school dormitory. Can I boil the medicine and freeze it, and then heat it up when I want to drink it later? Will this affect the efficacy of the medicine?"

The old Chinese doctor said: "I don't help you boil medicine here. You can go to the pharmacy to get the medicine. Some pharmacies can help you boil medicine, and some don't..."

"But I suggest you go back and endure it on your own. After all, this is only the first course of treatment, and you still need to regulate your stomach later..."

After hearing what the old man said, Xu Hui had no choice but to go to the pharmacy to get the medicine, then take it home to boil it, package it, and freeze it.

When Li Changyan goes to school, ask her to take it to school, pay some money, and leave it in the canteen or cafeteria refrigerator.

"Follow this prescription and go to a pharmacy to get the medicine. Then boil three bowls of water into one bowl as I said above. Start the treatment three days after your period ends."

"One course of treatment lasts twenty-one days. Come back to me after the course is over and I'll see how things go."

"If the situation is good, I will start to treat the stomach problem..."

"During this period, please be careful and eat less spicy and cold food..."

"Pay attention to regular diet and avoid overeating..."

……

After coming out from the old Chinese doctor, Li Ziqiang navigated to the nearest Chinese medicine pharmacy and handed the prescription to the pharmacist to get the medicine.

Then I went to the department store and bought a clay pot for cooking Chinese medicine, and some bags for packaging the Chinese medicine.

On the way back, the three of them found a dumpling restaurant to eat dumplings.

After returning home, Li Ziqiang went to the store to work.

Xu Hui asked Li Changyan to rest while she prepared the Chinese medicine for Li Changyan.

After boiling one pot, pour it into another pot and let it cool, then continue to boil the next pot.

When it has cooled down, pour it into a Chinese medicine bag and freeze it in the refrigerator.

After cooking enough for a week, it’s almost ready for dinner.

Li Changyan stayed at home for a while and then went next door to find Li Jia.

"How are you? Are you still feeling uncomfortable today?" Li Jia asked Li Changyan with concern as soon as he saw her.

"It doesn't hurt anymore. Jiajia..." Li Changyan hugged Li Jia with his arms, rested his head on her shoulder, and acted coquettishly towards her.

"What's wrong? Where did you go today?"

Li Jia patted Li Changyan's head on his shoulder.

"I didn't go out to play. My mom asked my aunt about an old Chinese doctor. She said he had great medical skills, so she took me to have a checkup."

"I originally wanted to treat my dysmenorrhea, but the old Chinese doctor said that in addition to my irregular menstruation, I also had chronic gastritis and qi deficiency..."

"My mother has strictly prohibited me from eating anything spicy, sour, or irritating, or anything too sweet..."
