Chapter Seventy-Six: Two Little Gatherings (Happy New Year)

After the guests were gone, the family hurriedly cleaned up the party scene and went to rest. It's really this period of preparation and the busy day today, and everyone feels tired as soon as they relax.

After a good night's sleep, the family gathered at the dining table in good spirits. The dishes prepared for the party yesterday were actually almost eaten, and the rest of the cleaning was poured over to Shi Lei's pet dogs.

The rest of the meat, whether grilled or not, was also given to the hairball, so that the big-bellied man quickly got it done. Shi Lei also thoughtfully selected some ungrilled meat strips and went to the artificial lake to give them to Xiaojin and Xiaoyin.

Jin and Silver have now made their home by the artificial lake, and the huge nest on the tallest tree can be seen from afar, and now under the care of their male and female, there are obviously fewer wild animals in the pasture, and coyotes have never appeared again.

Seeing Shi Lei coming, Xiao Jin and Xiao Yin were obviously happy, slipped down from the tree, fell to the ground in front of Shi Lei, and rubbed Shi Lei very affectionately.

Shi Lei held the specially selected meat strip with his right hand with thick special gloves, and watched Xiao Jin and Xiao Yin gobble up the meat in their hands.

After the two eagles were finished, Shi Lei was ready to go back. Xiao Jin quacked a few times, Shi Lei understood what Xiao Jin meant through spiritual communication, and wanted him to wait here, they were going to catch some prey as a return gift to Shi Lei.

Soon Xiao Jin and Xiao Yin had their own harvests.

Jin caught a fat hare, it seems that this thing is indeed very happy to live in the pasture, even if there are two eagles who use the pasture as their territory and hunting ground, they can't get all these guys to move out of the pasture.

And Xiaoyin caught a big fish from the artificial lake that looked dozens of pounds, and the tenacious vitality made this big fish still struggle.

Shi Lei happily looked at the return gift of the two eagles, and he could add dinner at noon today.

After saying goodbye to the two eagles, Shi Lei returned to the main room with the return gift they gave.

Put the two things in the kitchen, my mother is already a little accustomed to this, of course, she still praised Xiao Jin and Xiao Yin a few words, and then unceremoniously kicked Shi Lei, a greedy cat, out of the kitchen.

The future in-laws are coming soon, and my mother has to prepare some fruits to put in the living room to entertain the guests. After that, you have to choose the dishes again and prepare them for lunch.

My mother has always felt that cooking a sumptuous meal at home is the greatest respect for the guests, and of course, it also shows that she does not treat the other party as an outsider.

Shi Lei took advantage of his mother's lack of attention, picked up a fruit and ran out while nibbling on it, causing his mother to scold him a few words, but he still ran outside with a smile on his face, making Laura shake her head funny.

It didn't take long for Colin and Emily to come to the ranch together, this time of course, they didn't have to come with gifts like last night, yesterday was a more formal invitation, and today is a gathering between relatives and friends, the nature is still different.

After entering the door, the two families chatted warmly. Colin mainly chatted with Shi Lei's father, Shi Yi, about teaching, while Emily and her mother mainly talked about children's education, how to cook, how to choose clothes, and so on.

Of course, the choice of vegetables and the like is in charge of my sister Shi Lan. When there are guests at home, my sister and mother are also responsible for this, and when my mother goes out to chat with guests, my sister is also responsible for doing a good job of logistics.

As for Shi Lei, he is generally only responsible for eating at home, and he needs to be in charge of liquidation at the end, killing all the leftovers, of course, Shi Lei is also responsible for washing and brushing the dishes and other work, who let him not contribute when cooking.

Emily and her mother chatted for a while, and then they proposed to let Shi Lei give her acupuncture, this morning she had pharyngitis, and she was uncomfortable for a long time, and she hoped to end this pain as soon as possible.

Of course, Shi Lei said yes, took out a set of sterilized silver needles that had been prepared a long time ago, and began to treat Emily in the living room.

The process is still similar to when he treated his parents and them before, Shi Lei applied needles up and down the appropriate acupuncture points, and then massaged several related acupuncture points around, and at the same time began the most important transformation.

The first treatment couldn't be cured immediately, so this treatment only alleviated some symptoms, and Shi Lei also told Emily that it was impossible to cure it at one time.

This time it's just a relief, and it will take a few more times to completely solve it. And in the future, you should pay more attention to maintenance, otherwise there is still a certain chance of recurrence, because her throat is still tired after all.

Emily also understands that such a chronic disease cannot be cured simply once, so she expresses her understanding. When Shi Lei's first treatment for Emily was over, the results were still very concerned by everyone.

"How's it going, Emily, are you feeling better?" Mom asked with concern next to her, and Dad and Colin looked at Emily curiously.

"Well, I feel very comfortable now, my throat doesn't have the feeling of being itchy all the time, like entering a foreign body like cotton wool, and I haven't felt the feeling of relief and comfort for a long time.

I didn't expect the technique of the stone to be so powerful, and it only once achieved such an effect. "Emily feels clearly good and highly rated.

"Actually, it's not much stronger, but my parents have also treated this problem, so it's more familiar to treat it again. But I didn't know you had these problems before, or I would have treated you a long time ago. ”

Shi Lei said modestly that he couldn't get color in front of his mother-in-law in the future.

"It's okay, we didn't know you knew you knew the magic of Chinese medicine. By the way, Colin also has pharyngitis, and he also has some lumbar disc herniation, you can see if you can treat him all. Emily looked at Shi Lei expectantly.

"Pharyngitis is definitely fine. I can't guarantee the problem of lumbar disc herniation. Does he have osteoporosis? If not, I'll give him a few more massages and it will have some effect.

If there is, it will be more troublesome, and he must first regulate his osteoporosis, otherwise the bone will not dare to move, for fear of causing other problems. Shi Lei asked seriously.

"I don't have osteoporosis, you just give me a massage. It's just that I've found a few Chinese medicine practitioners to massage me before, but they can only alleviate some symptoms, and I can't cure them. Colin, who had been watching from the side, replied.

"As long as there is no osteoporosis, there is still hope for a radical cure if I give you a massage and acupuncture. However, in the future, you have to pay attention not to sit for a long time, and strengthen the muscles in the lower back, especially the muscles that are directly attached to the spine such as the erector spinae.

They all have a stretching effect on the spine, and many lumbar disc herniations actually occur due to the long-term fatigue of these muscles. Shi Lei replied seriously.

"Okay, I'll pay attention to it later. You can start treating me now. After the treatment, you can tell me some suitable exercises to exercise. Colin said happily.

Shi Lei immediately began to administer needles to Colin, partly to treat laryngitis, and partly to treat lumbar disc herniation. After all the needles were raised, the massage of the waist began.

Especially for the massage of the protruding spine, Shi Lei was very careful, and carried out transformation while massaging, and began to increase the intensity of the massage when he felt that it was almost over.

"Well, I'm feeling a lot more comfortable, too. Whether it is the throat or the waist, I feel a lot more relaxed, especially the waist, which is better than the previous Chinese medicine treatment, and the effect of stretching is much better than going to the hospital.

The technique of the stone is really good. It's a pity that you don't have a medical license, otherwise you would definitely not have a shortage of customers to see a doctor just by relying on this hand. Colin did seem to be very comfortable, and joked with Shi Lei.

"It's good that you feel comfortable, it means that my method is still effective, but you will have to come back a few more times in the future. Also pay more attention to exercise. Come, I'll give you a few simple exercises. Shi Lei said happily to Colin.

Being praised by Colin made Shi Lei very happy. Since it has been affirmed by others, it is necessary to serve people dutifully, not to mention that the object is still the future father-in-law, which must be done well.

"I'll introduce you to a few movements that you can do at any time in your daily life, which are very simple but more symptomatic.

The first action is the kick, but unlike a normal kick, you have to kick one leg back, kick a few more times, then switch the legs, and then kick the other leg, don't use too much force at first, but a little bit of afterburner.

In the beginning, you mainly do this movement, because your spine may not be able to withstand the amount of exercise. ”

Shi Lei said while demonstrating it seriously, and watched Colin do it again before continuing.

"The second movement is also very simple, which is to stand and bend down and press down, and this movement can be done in conjunction with the first movement. And there are several variants of movements, which can turn the upper body and so on.

Don't be too intense at first, and don't push too hard for too long, your waist may not be able to bear it. Just take your time and don't last too long each time.

The third movement is the action of leaning over and lifting things, bending your legs slightly when bending over, and slowly straightening your legs when you get up, which is obviously to exercise the erector spinae.

You can slowly increase the weight of the object you are lifting, and you can do this all the time, but the weight must be small at first.

There are also two movements that can be done on the bed.

One is Xiao Yanfei's movement, which is the same as the one in yoga, lying on the bed and then trying to lift all the limbs off the bed, the longer the better. Again, don't start with too much force, or you might hurt your back.

The other is a sit-up-like movement in reverse. Get on the bed, then stretch your upper body out of the edge of the bed and ask Emily to help you hold your legs, then repeat the movement of leaning over and lifting your upper body. It is also a matter of intensity.

Others, such as push-ups, all movements that can use the core strength of the waist and abdomen have a certain exercise effect, and you can choose which movements to do according to your habits.

Be sure to stick to it, as long as you stick to these activities for a period of time, and when the binding force of your spine is strong enough, the possibility of problems such as lumbar disc herniation will be very low. Shi Lei explained in detail.

"Okay, I'll keep exercising in the future." Colin affirmed.

After that, the two families had a happy meal together, and Colin and Emily kept praising Shi Lei's mother for her delicious cooking, and felt that with her cooking skills, she could open a high-end restaurant by herself.

After the meal, Colin and Emily chatted with Shi Lei's family for a while, and then lost no time in saying goodbye and leaving.
