Chapter Thirty-Eight: Are You Really Willing?

Looking at the last villager to leave, Xu Zhengdao, who was standing in front of the courtyard gate, also seemed relieved. As far as his current medical skills are concerned, he can basically get rid of the slightest problem that comes to the villagers to consult them.

But he knew in his heart that some minor problems could be treated, but similar to the pneumoconiosis suffered by villager Zhong Younian, it would be relatively troublesome. You must know that even with the development of medical technology in later generations, it is extremely difficult to cure such diseases.

However, in Xu Zhengdao's opinion, with the acupuncture and moxibustion techniques he learned from his master, coupled with traditional Chinese medicine, the disease should be completely cured. The question is, to let others know that he can cure this disease, then will he still have peace?

"It's not that you don't have a cure, but that you have to treat it selectively. When he comes back from the hospital, I'll give him some better care. Not to mention that it will be completely cured, as long as he takes the Chinese medicine I prepared well, he should be fine for another thirty-four years. ”

Compared with the treatment that is effective with a needle, Xu Zhengdao feels that the treatment of boiling frogs in warm water is better. In that case, even if others knew, it wouldn't be too strange. In recent years, it is common for Chinese medicine to cure some incurable diseases.

By checking the pulse of the villagers today, he believes that in the future, there should be no hatred or resistance in the village. As long as the villagers are not stupid, they should know in their hearts how lucky they are to have someone in the village who knows how good they are.

Although he took the pulse and prescribed medicine to the villagers today, he also collected some money from the villagers. But the villagers who were charged money didn't think he should take the money. On the contrary, they all knew that they really didn't charge more money for these medicines they took from the Xu family.

By the afternoon of the next day, Xu Zhengdao, who had just returned from the city, saw a child and said happily: "Uncle Xu is back!" Quick, go and tell Erniu that Uncle Xu is back from the city. ”

Xu Zhengdao, who heard this, was a little surprised, but he quickly remembered that the Erniu in the child's mouth was Zhong Younian's grandson. Don't look at Zhong Younian, he is not very old, but he is also in the same house for four generations, with an old mother and a grandson.

Sure enough, not long after Xu Zhengdao went home, Zhong Younian's family came over. Seeing Zhong Younian's wife's happy and helpless expression, he knew in his heart that Zhong Younian's disease would not be treated by the hospital.

Zhong Jianguo, who is the eldest grandson of the Zhong family, also stepped forward gratefully and said, "Doctor Xu, you are back." My dad went to the city to shoot a film, and as you said, he had a lung problem. Listen to my mother, can you treat this disease? ”

Seeing Zhong Younian, who was obviously much weaker than yesterday, Xu Zhengdao also said in a timely manner: "Brother Zhong, what did the doctor in the city say?" Also, did you get your film back? Show me the film first, will you? ”

"Done! The film is here, I'm tired of you working hard to help watch it. The doctor in the city said that my father's illness had dragged on for too long. If I had been treated in a hospital, I am afraid my family would not have been able to afford the medical expenses. My dad's disease can only be slowly regulated by nourishment. ”

"Hmm!"

Xu Zhengdao, who didn't speak much, took the film handed by Zhong Jianguo and asked the Zhong family to sit down. Seeing Zhong Jianguo's son, who was also full of worry, Xu Zhengdao also smiled and said, "Erniu, are you obedient today?" ”

"Obedient! Uncle Xu, can you cure my grandfather? I don't want to live without grandpa, I love grandpa! ”

Looking at the four-year-old child, saying such sad and sincere words, several women of the Zhong family couldn't help but shed tears in an instant. Thinking about coming to the city, the doctor also told them how difficult it was to treat the disease that Zhong Younian had.

Although you can't die in a short time, if you don't get effective control and treatment, I'm afraid the disease will only get worse. This also means that at any time, Zhong Younian may die of illness. How did the Zhong family accept this?

Even if Zhong Jianguo has already married and has children, but at the moment, the Zhong family is still Zhong Younian's family!

Xu Zhengdao, who was touched by this innocent heart, immediately smiled and said: "Erniu, don't worry, Uncle Xu will do his best." Grandpa's illness is not a serious illness. In the future, he will definitely be able to watch you grow up safely. ”

"Thank you, Uncle Xu!"

"Well, Erniu is really good, uncle gave you a toffee and rewarded you, okay?"

Seeing the candy handed over, the little guy glanced at his father very sensibly. As a father, Zhong Jianguo also felt very relieved in his heart. In these years, children with filial piety are naturally more loved by their parents and elders.

And Xu Zhengdao believes that the filial son who comes out of the poor family, as long as he is willing to work hard, will eventually come out!

From the diagnosis report given by the doctor, Xu Zhengdao confirmed the results of his diagnosis. As he had expected, Zhong Younian was suffering from pneumoconiosis, a disease that is very common among coal miners.

This disease is basically not visible when you are young. But as he gets older, the dangers of this disease gradually become apparent. In later generations, some quarries or people engaged in dusty work were also prone to this intractable disease.

Putting down the diagnosis issued by the hospital, Xu Zhengdao also said directly: "Uncle Zhong, your disease is very tricky, I believe the doctors in the city have also told you." But I would like to say that although this disease is difficult to cure, it is not that scary.

In my early years, when I was practicing medicine with my master, I also heard him talk about this disease. Although my master didn't cure him in the end, after he prescribed medicine, the person should be alive and well by now. It's just that you won't be able to do heavy work in the future. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhong Younian's eyes suddenly lit up, and Zhong Jianguo was even more delighted: "Doctor Xu, can this disease really be cured?" ”

"Since it's a disease, there must be a way to cure it. In fact, if this disease is detected early, it is relatively easy to treat. Uncle Zhong's disease has dragged on for too long, so it is a bit serious and very tricky to treat.

I definitely don't dare to say such a big word of complete healing, and you may not believe it if you say it. But Uncle Zhong adjusted according to what I said, and drank a little more of the Chinese medicine I prescribed. A two-pronged approach should be effective in alleviating the condition.

As long as the lung problem is alleviated, Uncle Zhong's life should be worry-free. If you want to prescribe it, I'll give it to you later, and I'll drink it for three weeks in the first minute. After drinking, Uncle Zhong will come back for a follow-up visit, and I will see how the effect is.

But Uncle Zhong should remember that you can't smoke a cigarette, and try to avoid places with heavy kitchen fumes. Also, if you encounter wheat harvesting or dusty work in the village, you can't do it either. Otherwise, I can't help it! ”

Seeing that Xu Zhengdao was talking about the Tao, Zhong Younian's wife hurriedly said: "Xiao Xu, don't worry, when I go back, I will burn his cigarette pouch and tobacco." In the back kitchen, he must not enter. I'll help you keep an eye on him. ”

"That's good! Uncle Zhong, your disease is a stubborn disease, it is very troublesome to treat, and maintenance is also very important. Therefore, if you really want to see Erniu grow up and even give birth to a big fat great-grandson, then you must drink medicine and maintain it. ”

"Cheng, as long as I can live, I will listen to you in everything."

"Not really! When you say this, my aunt will have an opinion. In fact, it's not too late to find out about this disease, so you have to stay optimistic. If you have a sad face every day, and your aunts look worried, you must be uncomfortable yourself, right? ”

Taking the opportunity, Xu Zhengdao also lit Zhong Younian's sentence. If you want to take care of your illness, your mindset is really important. If you give up on yourself, it will only worsen your condition. With these words, Zhong Younian's expression instantly relaxed a lot.

Who wants to die if they can live?

Moreover, as a grandfather and son, he didn't send away his parents who gave birth to him, and he didn't see his baby grandson and granddaughter getting married, is he really willing?

After the medicine was ready, Zhong Jianguo asked cautiously, "Ah Zheng, how much is this medicine?" ”

"This medicine is slightly more expensive than other drugs. I need to go to the pharmacy in the city to buy some of these herbs. For the first three weeks, you'll need to prepare about twenty dollars. If it works well, it will be cheaper later.

I still say the same thing, Uncle Zhong's disease should not only be treated with medicine, but also pay attention to self-maintenance. In the later stage, he needs to drink Chinese medicine for at least one year. Simply calculated, a hundred yuan a year of medicine should be enough. ”

Hearing that a year's treatment would probably cost a hundred yuan, the Zhong family also breathed a sigh of relief. Although this more than 100 yuan is not a small amount for the Zhong family, they naturally feel that it is worth it to continue the life of Zhong Younian, the head of the family!
