After traveling through time, she took her husband to be a food doctor

"Xiaobao, where do you feel uncomfortable?" Lin Mingxuan asked.

"I'm not Xiaobao, I'm Tongtong."

"Okay, Tongtong." Lin Mingxuan smiled, feeling a little embarrassed. The child was about five or six years old and looked short, but he already thought of himself as a little adult.

"Tongtong, tell your uncle where you feel uncomfortable?"

"stomachache."

"Did it hurt when you were playing in the yard just now?"

"It doesn't hurt."

"Does it hurt this morning?"

“It doesn’t hurt…it hurts…”

Young children usually just say they have a stomachache. They probably don't really feel pain, but they know they need to see a doctor because they feel uncomfortable, so they always have to say where they feel uncomfortable.

"Open your mouth and let your uncle see."

The child did as he was told, as if he was playing a game.

"Let uncle take your pulse."

"What is taking a pulse?"

"Touch it yourself," Lin Mingxuan picked up his left hand and placed it on his right wrist.

"Wow, something is jumping." He turned his head, "Mom, something is jumping."

"Yes, this is the pulse. Uncle will help Tongtong feel the pulse to see whether it is fast or slow, heavy or light, and whether it beats evenly or not. This will tell you if Tongtong is sick."

"it is good."

The child stretched out his hand to Lin Mingxuan, full of curiosity. His mother sat in the back, smiled, and felt relieved - this child had been naughty for several days, and she was worried.

Lin Mingxuan calmed down and slowly felt the beating of the child's pulse. His pulse was a little weak, but better than the previous two children.

"All right."

"Uncle, am I sick?"

"Tongtong's illness is very mild, and he will be fine after taking some medicine." Lin Mingxuan touched his head.

"Doctor, what's wrong with my son?"

"Sister-in-law, you came here with Sister-in-law Li yesterday, right?"

"Correct."

"Children's illnesses are the same as adults', but because of their age differences, the symptoms are different. They are all yin diseases."

“Is it heavy?”

"It's not serious. Your condition is not serious. Take a few doses of medicine to adjust."

"That's good." The eldest sister-in-law smiled slightly and patted the child's arm. "Doctor, is there something wrong with our Feng Shui? The old and the young are suffering from the same disease."

"I don't understand feng shui, it may be a problem with the local water and soil. The cold and damp air is too heavy, there is a lot of miasma, and in winter, there are few sunny days and not enough food."

"Hey! Our ancestors have been here for generations, there's nothing we can do."

Ding Xirui went a step further and said:

"Sister-in-law, stretching and sweating every day is good for your health. You can come with Sister Li and the others to learn Ba Duan Jin tomorrow."

"It's okay for me to come, can the child learn?"

"The child is not suitable yet..." Lin Mingxuan waved his hand, "Sister-in-law, as long as the child can play well, eat well, and sleep well, he doesn't need it."

"No need."

"Yes, when he is older and can do manual labor, you can teach him."

"it is good."

"It's a little different from adults. Children are more susceptible to illness in spring and autumn, so please pay more attention."

"Well, thank you, doctor." The sister-in-law nodded, and then sighed, "Who doesn't want their children to be healthy? We don't have doctors here easily. We have to go a long way to see a doctor, and we don't have enough money. Whether it's adults or children, they have to bear the minor illnesses and pains by themselves. If they are really uncomfortable, they will ask the elderly for help, and at most they can drink ginger soup and rub their bodies. There are two stupid children in the village. They said that they had a fever when they were young, but they didn't have time to see a doctor, and their brains were burned."

"Sister-in-law, are there no medicinal herbs in the mountains?" Ding Xirui asked.

The eldest sister-in-law shook her head. "I don't dare to go. There was an old man in the village who worked as an apprentice in the county medicine store for two years. He knew some herbs, but he was unlucky. One day, he was bitten by a poisonous snake when he was going up the mountain to collect herbs."

"Oh, I see." Ding Xirui sighed.

"Yes." The sister-in-law sighed again.

Xiaoqiang came to get the prescription and boiled the medicine. The eldest sister-in-law thanked him and took the children to the courtyard to wait. The other children came forward and continued to treat them. Two children had mild diarrhea symptoms, and the other three were just in the early stages of the disease, with loss of appetite and some irritability. They were busy until dinner time, and then the children followed the family out noisily. Before leaving, each of them drank a bowl of seaweed soup.

The medicine for lunch was already prepared. The brothers with more severe arthritis came in to take the medicine and took some firewood. Dashi also helped to fetch water. Ding Xirui sighed silently. He looked like the most timid and afraid of pain, but he turned out to be the most reliable.

"That 'skinny monkey' brother hasn't come yet?" Ding Xirui asked, looking around.

"No," Oishi also looked around, "How strange, he finished the housework yesterday."

Several other men also found it a bit strange:

"Yeah, he usually hangs out on the street when he has nothing to do, maybe he'll go to someone's place to get some free food and drinks."

"That's right. He came to eat the porridge and rice gruel the past two days. Today's seaweed soup is so delicious, but it didn't attract him."

Ding Xirui frowned, thinking of the thief from last night. But Xiaohu and Xiaobao said that the thief was a strong man. The reason why "Skinny Monkey" got this nickname is because he is very dark and thin, so he can't be a "strong" man.

Maybe he was just delayed by something, Ding Xirui shook his head and prepared to go to his house after lunch.
