Chapter 22 Practicing Tai Chi

Wang Chengqing and Wang Chengyu were talking about their mother. Now they had both accepted the fact that their mother had cancer, unlike when they first found out and would burst into tears at the drop of a hat.

We must look forward to the future and experience all the joys and sorrows of life.

He chatted with his mother for a while longer. Seeing that his mother was tired, Wang Chengyu went home.

After returning home, she couldn't wait to enter the library in the space and search for books on qigong on the search board.

After looking around, I finally decided to practice Tai Chi. Everyone in the country, from adults to children, knows Tai Chi, so it's not surprising that I'm practicing it.

Click on Tai Chi, and a line of text will appear.

Reading this book requires six merit points. Please confirm whether you wish to spend six merit points to read this book.

Ah! Even reading books costs merit points? These merit points disappear so quickly! Wang Chengyu wanted to cry but had no tears. He gritted his teeth and clicked "Confirm."

Earning merit points is urgent. I need to speed up my learning.

After clicking "OK", a book flew from one of the bookshelves in the library to Wang Chengyu's front.

Wang Chengyu took it and saw that it was indeed the "Tai Chi Chuan" manual that had cost her six merit points.

He took the book to the peach tree and read it through first, just about to start practicing according to the contents of the book.

Yao Yao has appeared!

"Choosing Tai Chi is a good choice. I will guide your practice from now on. You should set aside two hours each day to practice in this space. Consistency is key to seeing results, so I hope you can stick with it."

"I'm so happy to be personally taught by the fairy, Yaoyao. Don't worry, I will definitely persevere."

Spending those six merit points is incredibly worthwhile; to receive personal instruction from a fairy is simply amazing.

Under Yao Yao's guidance, Wang Chengyu first practiced standing meditation for half an hour. During his first practice, he would stop and start frequently, which made the Fairy of Herbs frown.

"Your constitution is too weak. Let's stop practicing standing meditation here for now. Remember to drink the spiritual spring water every day. Now I'll explain it to you."

……

After being tormented by the Fairy of Herbs for two hours in the space, Wang Chengyu was exhausted, his legs and arms weak. He drank a large cup of spiritual spring water to replenish his strength.

Two hours in the space is equivalent to forty minutes in reality.

With this time difference, she can learn a lot more in the future.

From now on, I'll only drink spiritual spring water; I refuse to believe my physical condition won't improve.

She took a bath and scrubbed herself with a bath towel for another half hour. She found that her skin was no longer red and itchy after scrubbing with the bath towel. The spring water was really effective.

I spent two merit points to buy Xu Wen another math lesson that evening.

At this point, she had ninety merit points remaining.

She slept soundly through the night without any dreams. Upon waking, she first drank a cup of spiritual spring water. After dropping off Xu Yao, she went straight to work at the postpartum recovery store.

This postpartum care center is considered a relatively reputable one in the area, with eight full-time employees plus a store manager, totaling nine people, and several apprentices.

Apprentices have more freedom because they don't receive a salary, and those who really want to learn a skill will naturally study diligently.

Those who just coast along will find that the money in this line of work isn't as easy to earn as they imagined after a few days, and naturally they'll disappear.

There were ten apprentices who came around the same time as Wang Chengyu, but now there are only three left, including Wang Chengyu.

Another one is named Zhu Meihua. Zhu Meihua is forty years old this year. She worked as a maternity nurse for several years, but she found staying up all night too tiring, so she wanted to switch careers to learn postpartum recovery.

There was another one named Li Xin, who was thirty years old and the youngest among the apprentices, about the same age as Wang Chengyu. She had no one to pick up her child and wanted to learn a trade. She was also here to learn postpartum recovery.

Those who work in this industry tend to be older, and almost all of them are married and have children.

Young people can't endure this hardship.

For breastfeeding guidance and postpartum recovery, those who have given birth have an advantage in this area.

Having experienced it myself, I can naturally empathize. Many issues become clear once explained.

Of the three apprentices, the other two learned all the skills.

Only Wang Chengyu intends to learn breastfeeding guidance; as for postpartum recovery, she'll deal with that after she learns breastfeeding guidance—don't try to do too much at once.

All three apprentices are here today. Each of them has their own assigned teacher. Since Wang Chengyu is only learning breastfeeding guidance, her teacher is Zhao Jing, who specializes in breastfeeding guidance at the store.

The shop has two instructors who specialize in breastfeeding guidance, and six other instructors who specialize in postpartum recovery.

The owner of this postpartum care center is the head of the obstetrics and gynecology department at a local hospital, so the center never lacks customers.

When Wang Chengyu arrived at the store, Zhao Jing was already busy. Wang Chengyu quickly changed into his work clothes and went over to help.

Zhao Jing saw her coming and took the initiative to ask.

"Xiao Wang, how is your mother's health?"

Zhao Jing is 45 years old this year and has been in this line of work for almost ten years. She is very experienced.

Many customers come from the county below to find her. Right now, she is serving one customer, and another is waiting next to her.

"Thank you for your concern, teacher. My mother was discharged from the hospital today. She will rest at home for a week before going back to the hospital for chemotherapy."

While answering Zhao Jing's questions, he carefully watched Zhao Jing's movements, observing how she located the blocked milk ducts and how she cleared them.

"Sigh, don't be sad. Everyone gets old eventually. Just do your best and leave the rest to fate!"

While offering words of comfort to Wang Chengyu, Zhao Jing skillfully helped the customer with unclogging.

This customer has very narrow milk ducts, which can easily become blocked if she is not careful. For example, improper diet, anger, or depression can easily cause blocked milk ducts.

"Yes, we did our best!"

The two didn't say anything more. It's fine to chat briefly during work hours, but if you chat too much, the customer will feel that you don't value her.

At this moment, receptionist Li Lingyu brought in another customer who needed a drain cleaning.

Wang Chengyu had met this customer before; she also had a tendency to experience frequent milk duct blockages. She had purchased a full-service package, which meant that she wouldn't have to pay extra for any breastfeeding issues throughout the entire breastfeeding period.

To prevent blocked milk ducts, this customer comes in for a patency test every one to two weeks.

"There are still so many people in line!"

Dissatisfied customers often grumble and complain. It's common to spend at least forty minutes with one customer, and sometimes more than an hour with a complicated case.

Zhao Jing was working on one task while another waited beside her; it would take at least an hour for them to finish.

Another teacher, Ms. Bai, was also serving a customer, with one person waiting next to her.

Seeing that the customer was unhappy, receptionist Li Lingyu quickly spoke up.

"Sister Ji, next time you come, you can call us to make an appointment in advance, so you won't have to wait."

"I can't be sure when I'll have time," the customer said irritably.

This customer has a bad temper, and she never makes an appointment in advance; she always comes out of the blue. The two teachers usually don't like to serve her.

Except for customers with acute mastitis who can come directly to their shop without an appointment, other customers, such as those who need routine massage or postpartum recovery, need to make an appointment in advance.

Because most of the customers who come for the service are recent postpartum women, with children waiting at home, or bringing their babies along. They don't want to wait too long!

The child cries and fusses, and the adults also lose patience.

"Ms. Ji, if you're in a hurry, let Xiao Wang do it for you. You're just doing unblocking, it doesn't require much skill."

"Xiao Wang was a bit soft-hearted, but she did a pretty good job."

Zhao Jing spoke up to help Wang Chengyu get a chance to practice.
