Year: I planted trees in Saihanba

the next day.

"Engineer Chen, this is your medicine!"

In the office of the technical department.

Xia Tian handed the medicine she had picked up in Chengde yesterday to Engineer Chen, who was reading the newspaper.

"Xia, are you serious?"

Engineer Chen looked at the medicine Xia Tian handed him and his expression became serious.

"Of course, Engineer Chen!"

"Take this medicine I prescribed for you. I guarantee you won't make a sound once you take it."

Xia Tian looked at Engineer Chen and said with some pride.

"Okay, then I'll try it!"

Mr. Chen took the medicine and planned to try it when he got home.

Whether it's useful or not, we can't let Xia's good intentions go to waste.

Engineer Chen did not believe Xia Tian.

The main problem is that this whole thing is just too damn surreal!

A college student majoring in forestry also knows medicine; judging from his appearance, he's a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine.

Even novels wouldn't dare to write something like this, okay?

"Alright, Engineer Chen, let me tell you how to take this medicine."

"Engineer Chen, please make a note of this. I will do it as follows...!"

"Decoct this packet of medicine first, boil it for half an hour, and then add the rest."

"Just cook it until it's about the size of a regular rice bowl."

"Boil it until it's done, then boil it again until you have another bowl."

"Mix the two bowls of medicine together, then divide them into two bowls and take them in the morning and evening!"

"While taking this medication, avoid raw, cold, and spicy foods, and do not smoke!"

"..."

Xia Tian explained the precautions for taking the medication to Engineer Chen one by one.

Seeing that Xia Tian's words made perfect sense, Engineer Chen secretly made a mental note of them.

Regardless, we'll give it a shot, even if it seems hopeless.

"Alright, Engineer Chen, I won't disturb you reading the newspaper any longer."

"Okay, Xia, thank you!"

That night.

Chen then borrowed a clay pot from Old Liu.

I started brewing the medicine according to the method Xia Tian had instructed me to use.

For a while.

The strong aroma of traditional Chinese medicine permeated the entire forestry bureau.

That means most of the forestry bureau employees went home; otherwise, who knows what might have happened.

The forestry bureau's employees are mostly locals from Weichang County.

Except for summer, which is an outsider.

Only a few leaders of the Forestry Bureau have dormitories.

Because sometimes, when there's an urgent meeting, it ends very late.

That's why they arranged a dormitory for me.

However, most leaders still go home to live normally.

"Old Chen, are you holding on?"

After finishing his work at the canteen, Old Liu headed towards the dormitory.

"Yes, it's just Xia's kind gesture!"

"We can't let the children down!"

Engineer Chen smiled.

"Let me tell you, you absolutely mustn't underestimate Xia!"

"Xia is very capable."

Old Liu suddenly pulled Chen aside and said to him mysteriously.

He gave a thumbs-up as he spoke.

"How do you say this?"

Old Liu then recounted the events of yesterday to Engineer Chen.

Especially the acupuncture I gave him last night last summer.

"This problem has plagued me for many years, and I can't sleep well at night."

“Last night, after Xia gave me acupuncture.”

"I slept soundly until dawn, it was so comfortable."

As Chen listened to Old Liu's introduction, his eyes widened in shock.

He originally came here hoping to live up to Xia Tian's expectations and give it a try.

Now that I've heard what Old Liu said, this medicine might actually be effective.

"Old Liu, you can't be lying to me, can you?"

"Hey, would I joke about something like this with you?"

Old Liu was immediately displeased when he heard what Engineer Chen said.

"I'm not talking to you anymore, I have to go find Xia."

As Old Liu spoke, he walked to Xia Tian's dormitory door and knocked.

"Uncle Liu, what's wrong?"

When Xia Tian opened the door, she saw Old Liu and was a little curious.

"Xia, I just wanted to thank you, and while I'm at it, I thought I'd give you a couple more acupuncture treatments?"

Old Liu smiled somewhat obsequiously.

Old Liu felt a little nauseous.

I've never smiled so obsequiously when I first went to my future father-in-law's house to propose marriage.

But thinking about his legs, Old Liu felt at ease again.

I don't think my smile is strange at all.

Seeing Old Liu's smile, Xia Tian stepped aside to let him in.

He slightly raised his eyes and twitched his nose.

"Hey, Engineer Chen, you've got it ready?"

I watched as Engineer Chen fanned the fire with a fan.

He smiled and then closed the door.

Looking at the closed door, Chen felt a strange sense of loss.

"Uncle Liu, I think you're not really here to thank me, but to ask me to give you a couple more acupuncture treatments, right?"

In the summer, he pulled out a stool and let Old Liu sit down first.

While pouring water for Old Liu, he made a joke.

Old Liu couldn't help but blush as he listened to Xia Tian's teasing.

"Hehe, Xia, it's just that I don't have anything good to give you!"

"Okay, this Sunday, you'll come home with me and I'll let you try your aunt's cooking."

Old Liu suppressed his embarrassment and spoke to Xia Tian.

"It probably won't work this week. In a couple of days, I'll have to go to the dam with Engineer Chen."

"Judging by the time, the things I need to set up the lab should be in place within the next couple of days!"

"That's it!"

Old Liu nodded and then spoke.

"Then we'll go to your grandpa's house whenever you have time."

"it is good!"

Summer agreed without hesitation.

"Sir, how did you feel after the acupuncture yesterday?"

After chatting about everyday things, Xia Tian got down to business.

"Yes, you wouldn't believe it, I've been tormented by this leg for over ten years."

"I've never had a good night's sleep."

"Guess what happened after you gave me acupuncture last night?"

"I slept soundly until dawn."

"That feeling was so comfortable."

"Look, tonight, the old man shamelessly came to see you again!"

"Alright, sir, it works!"

"I'll give you two more acupuncture needles, and I guarantee you'll be able to sleep well for the next six months or so."

"After about half a year, I'll be able to relax a bit."

"I'll completely cure this problem for you once I'm fully free."

Xia Tian looked at Old Liu and spoke.

"That's a good feeling!"

Old Liu was very happy to hear what Xia Tian said.

After half an hour.

Summer is the time to put away needles.

"Sir, once you go back, keep the same routine: avoid wind and water!"

Summer gave Old Liu a few more instructions.

"Come see me again tomorrow night."

"I'll give you one more treatment, and that should be enough."

Old Liu was very happy to hear this.

I wondered how I could repay summer.

"Thank you, Xia!"

"Hey, Uncle Liu, why are you saying all this!"

"Alright, Xia, then I won't bother you anymore!"

"Alright, Uncle Liu, take care!"

Old Liu closed the door to Xia Tian's dormitory and prepared to go back to sleep.

As a result, they found Engineer Chen still squatting there, brewing medicine.

After exchanging a few more words with Engineer Chen, I returned to my dormitory to sleep, completely satisfied.
