Chapter 139 Shen Yanchen's Inquiry
Mr. Mu prescribed a total of 7 prescriptions, which I should take twice a day and then come back for a follow-up visit.
Xu Si originally wanted to pay for the consultation and medicine himself, but Lou Yuexin refused, so she paid for it in the end, spending 580 coins.
Xu Si was very emotional. A dose of medicine cost 80 wen, which was equivalent to two or three days' wages for an average person, but he could only drink it for one day.
Since ancient times, medical treatment has been expensive and difficult to obtain.
The so-called fear of being diagnosed with an illness and avoiding medical treatment is not only because one is afraid of being diagnosed with an illness, but also because one is afraid of not being able to afford medical treatment.
Because of this, many people delay seeking medical treatment when they are sick, and in the end, no medicine can cure them.
If she hadn't made some money from her business, she would probably have chosen not to see a doctor.
Therefore, Uncle Yang's mother was bedridden all year round. Although she drank cheaper medicine, she was able to take it continuously. It can be seen that he was really a filial son.
Worried that if he and Qinghuan used the same pot to boil medicine, there might be some residual medicine residue in the clay pot, which might cause the medicinal properties to conflict, the three of them bought a new clay pot on the way, which would serve as Xu Si's exclusive medicine pot.
After returning to the store, everyone else knew about the medical consultation and came up to ask about it.
"What did the doctor say?"
Xu Si said in a relaxed tone, "Just take some medicine and be careful in your daily life."
Qing Huan saw the medicine in her hand and said softly, "Second sister-in-law, I will help you cook the medicine in the future. I have to cook mine too, so I can just watch at the same time."
She can't usually help much, but she can still do this.
"Okay, then I'll trouble Qinghuan."
Qinghuan gave a faint smile, took the medicine bag from her hand and put it next to her own medicine.
Xu Si planned to start taking the medicine tomorrow. It was already afternoon today anyway, and he felt it would be more of a ritual to drink the medicine twice together starting from tomorrow.
After a short rest, it is time to prepare dinner.
Xu Si was about to take action when Lou Yuexin stopped him. "Mr. Mu said that you should be careful not to overwork yourself or catch a cold. If you have time, take more rest. We can do these things, so don't start."
Su Jinyue also advised, "Just take a rest. It's not like we can't survive without your help. Health is more important."
Their relationship is good now, so she doesn't have to worry about how to say nice things.
An Yu also knew that she had gone to see a doctor, but he didn't know the details. At this moment, after listening to Lou Yuexin's words, he said, "Master Xu, don't do it. I'll do it faster."
Although Xu Si is not much older than him, in his heart, he treats her like an elder and he sincerely hopes that she can be healthy.
Xu Si was helpless, "Okay, then I'll light the fire."
"There's no need for you to light the fire. Go and study with Qi Ning." Lou Yuexin paid special attention to her health and said after thinking for a while.
"what?"
Xu Si had a bitter face. She would rather be a fire-making maid than go to school.
Su Jinyue smiled secretly at her expression, held her shoulders and pushed her out of the kitchen.
Xu Si looked back and slowly walked into the house.
Qi Ning was reading the Three Character Classic that she had given him as a birthday gift.
The weather was cold, so Qi Ning decided not to go out and play, and started studying in advance.
He will be 5 years old next year, and when he is old enough to go to school, Su Jinyue and his wife will teach him in their free time, and he will study very hard.
Whenever they saw his progress, they felt proud and sad.
Seeing Xu Si sitting next to him with his head towards the book, Qi Ning consciously put the book between them.
Of course Xu Si could recite "Three Character Classic". Although he was not familiar with the characters, he knew which ones they were and he could learn by comparing them.
Her butt was sore from sitting for a whole afternoon, and after learning 5 words, she was also numb.
She clearly wrote it down, but she kept thinking of the simplified Chinese character. The two characters appeared in her mind again and again, gradually forming another weird character.
When it was time for dinner, she let out a sigh of relief, closed the book, and happily called Qinghuan and Qining to go eat with her.
She felt that she should first learn two words as her other name, which were "fantong".
It is not easy to be a glutton. Just eating and doing nothing will only result in an Engel coefficient.
From this perspective, she is not qualified, after all, she also has to do work.
But if you look at it from another perspective, those who are good-looking are called foodies, and those who are not good-looking are called gluttons, so she qualifies.
Shen Yanchen has been thinking about many things ever since Xu Si and the others went to see the doctor.
After returning home in the evening, when Xu Si finished washing his feet, Shen Yanchen had already helped fill the hot water bottle and placed it in the quilt to keep it warm.
He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What disease did you see this afternoon?"
Xu Si stared at the ceiling, feeling too comfortable to move, and answered casually, "Didn't mom say it? It's just to take care of the body."
There's no need to tell Shen Yanchen about this, it feels weird.
"After all, it's because you're feeling uncomfortable somewhere that you need to adjust your body."
Xu Si made a joke, "Really? How about we have a fight? I'm in good health."
Shen Yanchen was speechless for a moment, "How can I beat you? Are you hiding something from me? Is it difficult to cure? You didn't tell me what mother and sister-in-law knew."
He was very resentful. They were obviously husband and wife, but he seemed like an outsider.
"Have you read too many storybooks?"
She couldn't do the kind of thing where she was afraid of worrying her family, so she didn't tell anyone and secretly digested the pain.
If it were her, she would tell everyone she knew so that everyone could try their best to cherish the last moments together, so as to avoid regrets later.
The most important thing is to spend more of your savings and buy things that you usually don’t want to buy and enjoy them.
Shen Yanchen raised his upper body, determined to get an answer, "Then tell me."
Xu Si was a little annoyed, so he simply said, "Okay, okay, I'll tell you, my period hasn't come yet, so I can go to sleep now."
"Which one?"
"It's Yue Xin. You know it now, right?"
Shen Yanchen didn't react at first, but when he realized it, his face turned red and he stammered what to say.
Xu Si rolled his eyes at him and asked him to be honest this time if he had to ask.
"go to bed!"
"Oh oh," Shen Yanchen blew out the oil lamp stiffly, and the room fell into darkness.
In ancient times, women’s menstruation was a private matter. Although it has become much more open nowadays, many girls still feel ashamed of it.
When I go to the supermarket to buy sanitary napkins, I will remember to take the black plastic bag. When I take them to the toilet, I will also hide them and be careful not to get them on the stool.
The rules were even stricter in ancient times. Menstruation was considered a dirty and unlucky thing by most men. Conservative women usually made their own menstrual belts, and they were very careful in cleaning and storing them. The making method was basically passed down from mother to daughter.
Rich people use expensive silk and satin, which is more comfortable, while ordinary people use rough cloth.
Xu Si turned his head slightly towards Shen Yanchen. He couldn't see his face clearly, nor did he know what he was thinking, or whether he had the same idea as most men nowadays.
