Chapter 26 Pain Relief Formula and Amber Powder
Chen Ruogu has a rich inner world and the determination to not be disturbed by the outside world.
She knows how to keep her inner peace and clarity, so she will never be fooled by this short-lived happiness.
She looked out the window and said in a calm and deep tone:
"I like Zheng Zheng very much. I believe that I will have a different sense of beauty in her lens."
Yu Yuan's mouth curled up when he heard that. Ruogu was someone who could be in sync with him. They didn't need to say much to understand each other's thoughts. This was a communication that transcended words.
He said calmly, "I don't plan to leave her out alone. She will still film for you. The team is only responsible for editing and reviewing the video and guiding public opinion."
The Internet is not a lawless place. Yu Yuan must ensure that speech is within a safe and controllable range. In his subconscious, Ruogu needs his protection at all times.
Chen Ruogu did not object. She knew nothing about incubating internet celebrities. Moreover, her main focus was on the clinic. How to treat difficult and complicated diseases was what she needed to consider.
After finishing the business, there was a moment of silence, and only the other party's shallow breathing could be heard. Yu Yuan said, "I will be home in two days. Do you and Huaixi want any gifts?"
Chen Ruogu had been mentally prepared for this matter, and she did not panic when she heard it. She said in a gentle tone:
"As long as you come back safely, we have everything we need."
In addition to his superb acting skills, Yu Yuan is also an eagle soaring in the business world. He can accurately seize opportunities every time and continuously bring more wealth to the mother and daughter. They have endless money to spend, so how could they lack anything?
Yu Yuan felt warmed by her words, and he said gently:
"Then wait until I come back and I'll accompany you and Huaixi to choose jewelry. You haven't bought new ones in a long time, and Huaixi should also collect some different styles."
Yu Yuan automatically ignored the various jade hairpins that he had asked people to send back some time ago. He only had Huaixi as his daughter, so naturally he loved her as much as Ruogu.
Chen Ruogu dressed simply in daily life and never wore too much jewelry. Huaixi didn't need to dress up fancy at the moment, but when it came to jewelry, no woman would have too much.
She didn't bother to be polite with Yu Yuan, and said naturally: "Of course, Huaixi likes playing with beautiful and expensive jewelry the most."
Yu Yuan laughed softly, "Her hobby is indeed unique, but it doesn't matter. I will work hard to earn money and try to buy everything she likes."
Chen Ruogu felt a little sad when she heard this. Her Huaixi was now cared for and loved by her father. She was finally no longer the only one who had to worry about and plan for her daughter. Just for this reason, she should be more tolerant of Yu Yuan.
Suddenly, raindrops hit the window, softly and pleasantly. The window glass was covered with small water droplets, like a hazy ink painting.
Chen Ruogu opened the window and looked out. Raindrops fell like silk, wetting her cheeks. She whispered softly, "It's raining outside. Huaixi didn't bring an umbrella to school."
Yu Yuan said in a deep voice, "Won't she be caught in the rain when she goes home at noon? Let He Hui drive to pick her up."
Chen Ruogu chuckled and said, "You may have forgotten that Wanling Middle School is only one street away from our home. I have nothing else to do, so I'll go pick her up myself."
Yu Yuan had only been to Wanling twice. The first time was to visit his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and the second time was to send them back to their hometown. Both times he had mixed feelings and had never really gotten to know this small town.
"I checked the weather forecast and it's going to rain and the temperature will drop. You and Huaixi should add or remove clothes appropriately. It's easy to catch a cold in this kind of weather."
Chen Ruogu hummed, closed the window, and said to Yu Yuan: "The get out of class is about to end. If you go too late, Huaixi will get wet in the rain."
Yu Yuan said gently: "Then go ahead. It's raining, so walk slowly. Don't be in a hurry."
After experiencing the ups and downs of life, Yu Yuan finally understood how to love the people around him. It was not too late for him to realize it.
As soon as Chen Ruogu came down the stairs, Sister Yang said anxiously:
"Madam, Xixi didn't bring an umbrella. I'll go pick her up. There are two more dishes to cook when we get back."
Chi Zhengzheng said hurriedly: "I'll go, Sister Yang will cook at home."
Chen Ruogu said with a smile: "Stop arguing, I'll go take it."
He Hui turned around and took out an umbrella from the drawer and handed it to her, "Sister-in-law, it's not raining heavily, it's enough for you and Xixi."
Chen Ruogu nodded. She walked alone in the rain holding an umbrella. The raindrops hit the umbrella, making soft sounds, and it seemed that the whole world had become quiet.
When she arrived at the school gate, the school had not yet been dismissed. Many parents were waiting patiently with umbrellas like her, and some familiar parents were chatting together.
When the bell rang, the children rushed out and the parents rushed to the school gate to greet their children. Ruogu stood aside and searched around.
Yu Huaixi covered her eyes with her hands and ran forward quickly. As soon as she walked out of the school gate, she saw her mother. The corners of her lips curled slightly and she ran over faster. She stood under an umbrella, wiped her hair, and asked:
"Why didn't Uncle He come? This rain may not seem like a big one, but it can easily wet your clothes. The road is wet, and there are many people at the school gate. What if you fall or get hurt?"
Chen Ruogu took a tissue to wipe her daughter's face and said softly:
"I wanted to come here on my own. This drizzle looks pleasant. I'm not weak and fragile. You're just worrying about nothing."
Yu Huaixi held her mother's arm with a faint smile, not even looking aloof at all.
"Anyway, I can't argue with you. Are there any patients coming to the clinic this morning?"
Chen Ruogu moved the umbrella toward his daughter and said calmly:
"There was only one patient with lumbar disc herniation this morning. He was in unbearable pain, so I gave him acupuncture to relieve the pain..."
The mother and daughter snuggled under the umbrella, sharing their experiences with each other. Their laughter and conversation floated in the air, conveying the simplest joy and happiness.
Fang Mingxu's hair was wet and stuck to his forehead. He didn't have an umbrella and no one came to pick him up. He just followed the mother and daughter silently.
He was like a clown spying on other people's happiness. He didn't turn around and walk away until the mother and daughter entered Jishitang...
When they got home, the meal had just been served on the table. Yu Yuan said that Sister Yang's cooking skills were not an exaggeration. Now there are no leftovers in the family's three meals a day, and they are all eaten up every time.
At the dinner table, Ruogu conveyed Yu Yuan's intention to Chi Zhengzheng. She wanted to hear Huai Xi's opinion.
Huai Xi was naturally happy to see this happen. No one wants to hide behind the scenes forever. Huai Xi did not covet the title of a second-generation star, he just wanted a legitimate identity.
Besides, they have experienced cyber violence from anti-fans before.
In the past, the girls in the mansion had fought for power and used many mean means, but none of them could shake my mother in the slightest. She didn't believe that posting a few videos would do anything to my mother. They were never flowers in a greenhouse.
This result was much better than Chi Zhengzheng had expected. Yu Yuan was known to be smart and capable, so how could he hand over key accounts to others?
With the cooperation of a professional team, her overall strength will be enhanced. At least she doesn't have to fight alone in the live broadcast, and she has found a strong backer.
Sister Yang and He Hui were simply happy for Ruogu. If her identity was revealed, no one would dare to question or provoke her, and their marriage would be more solid.
Chen Ruogu was always calm. Her gentleness was just a protective color, and it was definitely not a compromise. As long as her daughter's interests were not affected, no matter what happened, she would remain calm and steady...
People’s sorrows and joys are not shared. When some are happy, others will be sad.
Teacher Huang only had two classes today. After class, she ran straight to the pharmacy in the rain. After swiping a few pregnancy test sticks with her medical insurance card, she hurried home.
When she entered the house, she didn't even bother to wipe the rain off her body and hurried to the bathroom. After busying herself for a long time, she looked at the red line on the pregnancy test stick and her eyes turned red with disappointment.
When she was not in a hurry to have a child, she never doubted her physical condition. She had a regular schedule, a normal diet, and a clean and simple private life. She felt that having a child was the simplest thing.
During the summer vacation, she stayed at her husband's residence for a while, planning to come back with a baby. When her husband heard the news, he laughed happily, and she also wished she could get pregnant immediately.
After the holiday, her period was delayed for three days. She couldn't wait to use a pregnancy test stick, but was disappointed. She thought that the period might not be able to show anything because of the short time, so she waited until seven days later before taking another test.
She looked at the pregnancy test stick in frustration, and suddenly felt a cramp in her abdomen and something flowed out. She looked down and saw that her period, which had been delayed for seven days, had arrived as expected.
Huang Jufen called her husband helplessly. Teacher Huang, who was domineering in the classroom, was just a little woman who needed care in front of her husband.
When the call was connected, she choked up and said, "Husband, I'm not pregnant this time..."
Although her husband was disappointed, he did not blame his wife, but comforted her with a good temper:
"Children are precious, it's not easy to have them. My comrades-in-arms tried to get pregnant for several years before they got pregnant. You should take good care of yourself at home. Maybe you will get pregnant when I come back for the New Year holiday."
The prerequisite for a woman to get pregnant is that there is no physical problem. Huang Jufen didn't know why, but suddenly she remembered what Chen Ruogu had hesitated to say when he took her pulse.
She didn't have time to chat with her husband, and said hurriedly: "I remembered that I still have some test papers to mark, and I have to go to school, so I won't tell you for now."
She has always been like this, and her husband is used to it. He kindly reminded her: "Drive safely and don't be too anxious."
Teacher Huang hung up the phone and just walked to the door but stopped. Yu Huaixi should be taking a nap at home at this time, so it would be a bit awkward for her to see her.
Her clothes were wet and uncomfortable, so she simply took a shower and changed her clothes before going.
She knows how to adjust her mindset. It doesn't matter if she didn't get pregnant this time. Her husband will be back at the end of the year, and this period of time is enough for her to take care of her body.
After taking a shower, Teacher Huang lay down for a while. Every time she had menstrual cramps, she felt so uncomfortable that she couldn't straighten her back. In addition, she had been nervous in the past few days, and she felt very uncomfortable when she suddenly let out her tension.
It is better to see a doctor as early as possible. Last time, Chen Ruogu cured her illness with a decoction. She began to believe in Chinese medicine. As far as she knew, Chinese medicine was more gentle and reliable for regulating the body.
By the time she went out, the rain had stopped. She felt very uncomfortable in her abdomen. She didn't want to ride the electric scooter in the wind, so she drove straight over.
When she arrived at Jishidiang, there happened to be a patient being seen. Chen Ruogu greeted her politely and asked her to wait for a moment. It was her turn only after the previous patient left.
After Teacher Huang sat down, without Chen Ruogu speaking, he asked anxiously:
"Mom Huaixi, did you find any other problems with me last time you checked me out?"
Chen Ruogu said without changing his expression, "I did feel something was wrong last time, but I took your pulse for a short time and didn't make a careful diagnosis, so I didn't tell you."
Teacher Huang thought there was no need to hide it from her, and said bitterly:
"Huaixi's mother, I suspect I have infertility. This time I stayed with my husband for a month and there was no movement in my stomach. We have been together for many years and have never been pregnant, so I think I may have infertility."
Her face was full of frustration, and Chen Ruogu comforted her softly:
"You just started trying to get pregnant, so it's normal that you didn't get pregnant. Let me take your pulse first, and then I'll know what's going on."
Teacher Huang placed his wrist on the pulse pillow. Chen Ruogu raised his hand to take his pulse. After carefully feeling it for a moment, he said softly:
"You are in your menstrual period. Are you usually impatient, irritable, sleep poorly, and have menstrual cramps?"
Teacher Huang nodded somewhat embarrassedly. She could control her temper at work, but was very impatient in life. Chen Ruogu looked at her tongue coating again.
"A dark tongue with petechiae, white fur, and a deep, stringy pulse indicate infertility caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis. In Western medicine, this is adenomyosis. If you have any doubts, go to the hospital for a gynecological examination."
Teacher Huang looked pale and asked fearfully, "Doctor Chen, can my disease be cured? Do I still have the chance to be a mother in this life?"
She felt as if a huge rock was pressing on her chest, and she couldn't breathe. Chen Ruogu gently patted her shoulder and comforted her:
"It's not that bad. I'll treat you with a combination of acupuncture and medicine. You'll be fully recovered in three months at most."
This made Teacher Huang feel like a drowning person holding onto a piece of driftwood. She said excitedly:
"Really? As long as it can cure my illness and allow me to get pregnant smoothly, I'm willing to spend any amount of money. When can I have acupuncture? What medicine should I take?"
Chen Ruogu could understand her feelings and said calmly:
"We first use Chinese medicine to relieve dysmenorrhea. During menstruation, we take the pain-relieving prescription, and during non-menstrual periods, we take amber powder. Amber enters the heart and has the effect of calming the nerves, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Then we combine it with acupuncture treatment."
Teacher Huang felt extremely peaceful and relieved when she heard her slow and steady voice. She asked shyly, "Can I have acupuncture today? I want to be treated as soon as possible."
Chen Ruogu followed her wishes and led her to the ward at the back. Chi Zhengzheng also followed. She first made the preparations for acupuncture before starting.
Huang Jufen lay on the hospital bed with her eyes closed, allowing Chen Ruogu to insert needles into her Zhongji, uterus, Zusanli, Sanyinjiao and other acupoints.
There was no pain when the needle entered the body. As she gently twisted the silver needle, she could clearly feel a warm current flowing into her lower abdomen.
Her abdomen, which had been cramping, suddenly felt relieved and comfortable. She seemed to be immersed in warm water. Her whole body relaxed and she fell asleep unknowingly.
Chen Ruogu did not wake her up after the acupuncture. The cause of her illness was emotional injury, liver qi stagnation, and the inability of qi to push forward, which led to internal blood stasis. Adequate sleep can help regulate qi and blood.
