Chapter 36: The First Visit

Woke up by Danya in the morning, "Peng, I'll go to work, it's still early, you can sleep for a while, this is the key to the room, I still have one, see you at night." "Tanya kissed me and went out. I looked at the time and saw that it was only seven o'clock, and I went back to her room with Tanya last night, and we went to bed very late in the night, and now I haven't fully woken up, so I set the alarm clock at the bedside to eight o'clock and fall asleep again. Ringing rings, the alarm clock woke me up from my deep sleep, and I thought that Roman would come to pick me up at nine o'clock, which was the first time I went to the clinic for acupuncture, so I strongly restrained my sleepiness and got up.

When I returned to the door of my room, I was afraid that Brother Chao and Natasha were inside, so I didn't dare to go in lightly, I knocked on the door and no one answered, and then I knocked on the door and no one answered, I opened the door and entered the room, and saw that the bedroom door in the room was open, and there was no one inside, I thought Brother Chao should have stayed in Natasha's room at night. I took a quick shower, had a brief breakfast, prepared the acupuncture needles, found the ginseng promised to Roman, put these in my bag, and went downstairs to see that the time was almost there.

When I got out of the door of the youth apartment, I saw a BMW sedan parked at the door, and Roman stood next to the car and smoked. Walking up and shaking Roman's hand, I said, "Good morning, Roman, have you been waiting for a long time?" Roman said, "Good morning! Peng, I just arrived, why didn't I see Vanya, where is he? I pointed upstairs and smiled, "Vanya is sleeping with her bride in her arms." Roman laughed when he heard this, "Yes, yes, it should be like this, there are a lot of brides in this building, and Sasha asked for a room here because he wanted Vanya to have more opportunities to contact Russian beauties, if I guessed correctly, Tanya, who went to my restaurant with you to eat on Sunday, should also be here." I replied, "Yes, my next-door neighbor." Roman nodded and said, "Peng, you have a good eye, a standard Russian beauty, and she seems to have a good personality." "I said yes. Roman finished smoking and asked me to get into the car, he started the car, kicked the accelerator, and the BMW with excellent performance scurried out on the unmanned road.

Roman's home is located on the outskirts of the river, a small three-story wooden building with a large yard and a vegetable patch, which is now covered with snow. A big dog with a chain as strong as a calf lying in the wooden nest on the edge of the vegetable field, saw me get out of the car and barked a few times, saw his master get out of the car and the big dog returned to the nest, Roman said that this is the Caucasian shepherd, is one of the largest dogs in the world, very loyal to its owner, the most suitable for the care of the home. Roman's home is similar to Sasha's, with a large living room and kitchen on the first floor. In the middle of the living room, charcoal burns in the fireplace, and in front of the fireplace is a set of leather sofas, under which a whole bearskin is spread, and a pair of Caucasian people in their sixties sit on the sofa and drink tea. Roman introduced me to his parents and wife, both of whom are retired and who are dedicated housewives without going out to work.

Roman's wife, Lyuda, brought me a cup of hot tea, and Roman's father, Tamaz, warmly asked me to sit down for tea, and as soon as I sat down, he asked me: "Peng, do you know Stalin?" A friend of Chinese Mao. I replied: "I know Stalin, I studied history when I was in school, Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin, ** ideology." "Tamaz shook my hand excitedly when he heard this" Stalin is a great man of our Georgians, an iron-fisted figure of the Second World War. After speaking, Tamaz also symbolically clenched his fist with his left hand, "Peng, I am an old ** member, and I was the secretary of a large enterprise before I retired, and I was still in the Soviet Union at that time." "Father, don't talk about your previous history, now it's Russia, not the Soviet Union, it's the era of a free economy, and no one wants to go back to the past. Peng is here to give you acupuncture, not to listen to your story. Roman interjected, "What's wrong with me telling my history?" I talk about what happened to the USSR? The Soviet Union is better than Russia, the planned economy is better than the free economy, there was order in the Soviet Union, there was no crime, there was no **, everyone had a job, and all factories were opened. In the era of the liberal economy, you look at what kind of mess is going on now, as soon as you turn on the TV and newspapers, except for crimes, crimes are crimes, factories are sold, workers are unemployed, and government officials are getting better than one **. "Tamaz stood up and waved his hands a little excitedly, Roman looked at me helplessly, and I could only watch silently from the sidelines, not knowing what to say, thinking that the old man was still living in the previous era, unwilling to accept the reality, maybe many elderly Russians have this mentality." Okay, okay, old man, don't get excited, otherwise your blood pressure will rise, you can drink tea with the doctor. Roman's mother, Ania pressed her husband to the couch, "Whether it's the Soviet era or the Russian era, as long as the people live well." In the Soviet Union, money could not buy things, everything had to be supplied by ticket, but now there are more things on the market, but ordinary people have no money to buy them. We can't care so much when we retire, as long as God bless us Roman is safe and sound, and our old fellows live a few more years. After saying that, the old lady drew a cross on her chest.

I opened the bag I was carrying, took out the ginseng and handed it to Roman, "Roman, here are eighteen ginseng trees, I have brought all the ginseng here, and there is one one that I promised to give to you." Roman took the ginseng and said to his parents, "This is the magic ginseng, you can drink it with Qiaqia to ensure that you live to be 100 years old." Tamaz put on his reading glasses and carefully studied the ginseng, and Roman squeezed his eyes at me, "Look, where is there ginseng without a free economy?" Where is the dollar without Russia? Tamaz didn't even lift his head, as if he hadn't heard Roman's words.

Roman took out a stack of dollars from his body, counted out a dozen and handed them to me, "Peng, this is 1,300 US dollars, 800 US dollars is the money for ginseng, and the remaining 500 US dollars is the money paid for you to acupuncture for my parents." I hurriedly handed the money back, "Roman, I only charge $750 for fifteen ginseng trees, and I don't charge for acupuncture." Roman waved his hand and asked me to put the money away, "Peng, you have already given me a ginseng in the restaurant, you don't need to give me any more, you must accept the money for my parents' acupuncture, otherwise I won't be able to invite you over again." I accepted the money and said to Roman: "Thank you, I will only accept the money for acupuncture this time, and don't give me any more money for acupuncture in the future, otherwise I won't be able to come again." Roman smiled and shook my hand, "Okay, let's settle it like this, you don't have to pay when you go to my restaurant to eat in the future, but you have to meet my request, you have to bring a beautiful woman there." I laughed too, "Don't worry, I'll meet your request." ”

Going up to Roman's parents' room on the second floor, I started to give acupuncture to the two elderly people. Ania worked as an accountant before retirement, and had some cervical spondylosis and lumbar muscle strain, so I had acupuncture on both sides of the kidney acupoints, Quchi acupoint and Weizhong acupoint.

Tamaz has some rheumatic pain in his back, especially the left shoulder is often numb and painful, I touched it with my hand, I felt that the skin on the left shoulder is cooler than the skin on the right shoulder, I asked him if he had a cold on the left shoulder before, he thought about it and said, he used to drive a truck for seven or eight years, and he likes to smoke often with the window open in winter. I said that it must have been the time when my left shoulder was blown by the cold wind and I had rheumatism. I put seven or eight Ah Shi points on the back of Tamaz's shoulder, and added two Waiguan points. Twenty minutes later, I gave the two elderly people the needles. Then he asked Roman's wife Lyuda to find two clean glass cans and bottles, and pulled out two fire cups on the position where Tamaz had been acupunctured on his left shoulder, and pulled out the black viscous blood of the small half-can bottle at once, and Roman exclaimed in surprise. As soon as Tamaz got up from the bed, he moved his shoulders and said, "It's alive, it's alive, it's alive, it's alive, my shoulders used to be numb and cold, and I feel like I'm dead, but now my shoulders are warm and I feel alive again." Ania also said that the lower back and cervical spine are less painful.

Roman was very happy to see this, and praised me repeatedly, saying that not only did he want acupuncture and his wife also wanted acupuncture, but also planned to introduce his friends to me for acupuncture, and I thought that I would soon become a famous doctor.
