Dr. Chung’s 90s

Chapter 12

Chapter 12: Taking medicine randomly

The sea market in July is getting hotter and hotter, and beads of sweat roll down my back whenever I walk around.

Zhong Yu came out of the hospital and happened to catch the bus back to her home.

When she went out in the morning, Zhou Qin told her to go back.

There are a lot of messy things going on in the Song family, and it won't work if Zhou Qin doesn't go back.

Song Congchun wanted to stay put, but unfortunately his mother didn't agree.

It was only when Zhong Yu said he would go to the Song family for dinner in the evening that he agreed to go with him.

It was exactly 11:30 when I got off the car. At this time, most people would have lunch at home.

When I was a child, I often walked through the halls and alleys here, and I knew many of my old neighbors.

Although Zhong Yu hasn't been back for many years, her face is so beautiful and recognizable that she can still vaguely see the shadow of her father.

At the moment, the entrance to the alley is shady and cool, and there is a gentle breeze blowing through it. It is a rare holy place to enjoy the cool air.

It was the weekend and there was no work required. Many people sat together with their rice bowls in hand to eat and chat, and there were children playing and playing from time to time.

As soon as she walked over, someone recognized her.

"Hey, girl, you look familiar. She's A Yu from Zhong Gong's family, right? Her face looks a bit like him."

Zhong Guoqiang was one of the first batch of college students. He not only had high academic qualifications, but also had excellent skills. He was also a key engineer at Haiying Machinery Factory.

He never looks down on others based on his own ability, and he has pointed out many colleagues' technical problems without any secret. He is also well-known in the machinery factory.

If he were still here, Zhou Qin's life would definitely be better than it is now. She even said this herself.

Because of his outstanding performance and the fact that he died to save talents, the factory treated Zhong Yu particularly kindly.

And the family members of these old colleagues also care about her and are kind to her.

Zhong Yu smiled shyly, her childhood memories were so long ago that she forgot about these people.

But it doesn't matter, she will live back and sooner or later she will become familiar with her again.

"Yes, aunties, my name is Ayu. I haven't been back for many years."

Aunt Fang, who was across from Zhong Yu's house, asked with a smile on her face:
"I keep seeing your mother these days. Are you moving back here?"

The fact that Zhou Qin remarried back then made them gossip a lot after dinner.

Now that I'm older, I can understand a little bit more.

Zhong Yu's face did not have the coldness at work, and he said gently:
"I graduated from college and work at the nearby Nanshan Hospital. It's only two stops away by car. It's more convenient to live here."

The mothers-in-law, who had been listening to them with open ears, immediately asked enthusiastically when they heard that she was working in Nanshan Hospital:
"Ayu girl is a great doctor. It's really amazing. She is as promising as your father. So what department are you a doctor in?"

At this time, many people have never heard of plastic surgery. She patiently explained:
"I mainly treat burns and disfigurement, and repair natural facial deformities. I am also a surgeon."

Although these mothers-in-law did not know much about plastic surgery, they knew that being a surgeon and holding a scalpel was very powerful, and they praised her repeatedly.

Zhong Yu was a little embarrassed to be praised directly by so many people. She said sheepishly:
"I'm just an ordinary doctor. I'm not as powerful as everyone says. I've been busy going to the hospital in the morning and now I have to go back to cook. Please wait and chat~"

How can one not get sick from eating whole grains? In a tertiary hospital like Nanshan, there is an endless stream of patients, and sometimes it is difficult to register.

You must make good friends with the doctor at your doorstep. You might be able to find one soon.

Upon hearing that Zhong Yu was going back to cook, Aunt Fang, who was eating, said enthusiastically:
"Your mother took your brother away this morning. How can you cook by yourself? If you don't mind, you can just have a bite at our house. There is just no food at home."

Zhong Yu didn't like eating at other people's houses, so she waved her hand quickly.

"Thank you Aunt Fang. I still have hand-made noodles from my mother at home. The dishes are all ready-made. The weather is hot and they will go bad if you don't eat them."

Hearing what she said, Aunt Fang wasn't trying to force anything. People at this time cherished food and were not willing to waste anything.

Zhong Yu turned around and walked away, no one could be seen, and the mothers and mothers started gossiping again.

"Zhou Qin is really lucky. When she was young, she was able to marry a bell worker. When she is old, her daughter will be promising. The days of happiness are behind her."

"It's possible. My sister-in-law works in the same textile factory as her. I heard that her second marriage was quite miserable. The man behind her prefers the children she had before."

"That can't be true. It's said that if you have a stepmother, you have a stepfather. With Zhou Qin's ability, he can't subdue an old man?"

Seeing that this topic was about to turn into a messy direction, Aunt Fang quickly interrupted.

"Don't talk nonsense. I remarried openly. My daughter is promising. I heard my son is also smart. Don't offend people to death if you don't keep your mouth shut."

It's not that Aunt Fang is very righteous, it's mainly her instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Zhou Qin is not easy to get along with, and Zhong Yu doesn't look like someone who is easy to bully, so why offend others.

Zhong Yu couldn't hear the comments from outsiders. If he heard them, he probably just smiled indifferently. They were all insignificant people anyway.

After stepping into the house and isolating the noise outside, Zhong Yu relaxed physically and mentally.She will have to live alone for a long time from now on, but fortunately she is used to it.

Just have a quick lunch and take a nap. Anyway, there is nothing much to do in the afternoon.

Later, work will not be so leisurely.

It's not necessary to go to the Song family too early, just to show up and have a meal.

In the past, when she was too young and had to live with her mother, she always suffered a disadvantage when she stayed in other people's territory.

In the eyes of outsiders, Uncle Song is a good man who cares about the family and loves his children, but in Zhong Yu's eyes, he is not even as good as her father's hair.

When her mother wanted to remarry, she couldn't stop her. She was also restless and couldn't sleep all night long.

At the beginning, maybe because of his newlyweds, Uncle Song loved his family and his family, and he was somewhat fatherly to her, which made her a little delusional.

Later, as they got along day by day, whenever there was a conflict between her and Song Meiting, he would always favor his biological daughter. Regardless of right or wrong, he always had a clear attitude.

Family ties that are not related by blood are always like the moon in the mirror, and will dissipate with the slightest touch.

For the sake of her mother and Congchun, she is willing to live in harmony with them.

It's just that she holds a grudge after all, so it's probably a little difficult for her to be truly filial.

Zhong Yu was provided with living expenses during her training period. Although she didn't have a lot of money on hand, she was able to maintain basic living expenses.

Before going to Song's house, she specially bought some fruits that her mother and Congchun loved to eat. It was always awkward to come to the door empty-handed, but there was no need to deliver them in large or small packages. She didn't need to please anyone.

Zhong Yu felt calm, but Song Bingkun was a little restless at home.

Seeing Zhou Qin killing chickens and buying meat, he couldn't help but said:
"A'yu is not an outsider. We are just eating as a family. There is no need to buy so many vegetables."

Zhou Qin was in a good mood, but she wasn't angry with him.

"When your daughter comes back, you know how to buy her groceries and snacks, and before leaving, you plunder all the things in the house and give them to her. My daughter hasn't been back for how many years, why can't I give her a good supplement?"

Song Bingkun pulled his hair and said angrily:
"Well, Mei Ting doesn't have anything to eat in the countryside. A Yu is in the capital, so how can the food be so bad?"

If Zhou Qin had known that he was so clear-cut, she would not have married him in the first place. She would not have spoiled him at all and would have started to fight with him.

"I don't care whether she has food or not when she's not with me. Now that she's back, what's wrong with me, the mother, taking good care of her? I didn't buy it with your money."

Song Bingkun put down the newspaper unhappily, "Why are you talking? We are all a family. Is it necessary to be so outspoken? What's yours and mine, it's not all from our family. I can't explain it to you. I'll go and endure it. medicine."

The older this person gets, the more he cares about everything. Song Bingkun is happy to see Zhong Yu doing well, but when he sees that her achievements are higher than those of his children, he feels a little uncomfortable.

Song Congchun was used to seeing his parents bickering, so he didn't take it to heart at all. He continued to read his book in the room, and didn't come out until he heard Zhong Yu coming.

As soon as Zhong Yu arrived at Song's house, the first thing he saw was Song Bingkun. He was boiling Chinese medicine in the corridor. The smell was strong and intoxicating.

"Uncle Song, are you sick?"

Song Bingkun immediately raised his head when he heard the familiar voice, stopped fanning the flames, and said cheerfully:
"A'yu is back. Your mother is at home. Come in and sit down. I'm just very wet, so I made some Chinese medicine to drink."

Zhong Yu didn't know about his hobby, so he said it casually for professional reasons.

"If you don't feel well, you still have to go to the hospital for a check-up. Although Chinese medicine is good, you can't take it randomly."

Song Bingkun didn't take it seriously. He walked with the boiled Chinese medicine and said:
"These prescriptions of mine are all ready-made in books. This is not just taking medicine randomly. I have studied Chinese medicine for a year. I don't need to go to the hospital for such a trivial matter as removing dampness."

While they were talking, the two entered the room, and Zhou Qin poked her head out after hearing the movement.

"A'yu, leave your Uncle Song alone. He deserves it if he dies from taking medicine."

Song Bingkun frowned displeased.

"What are you talking about? How can Chinese medicine kill people? Western medicine destroys the innate Qi of the human body. It is something passed down from our ancestors. You must not disbelieve it."

Zhou Qin heard these harsh words and was about to refute when she heard Zhong Yu say with a smile:
"Mom, when I was rotating in the Capital Hospital department, I saw an old lady. She was taking Chinese medicine randomly at home and couldn't distinguish her symptoms and measurements. She poisoned what she ate and almost lost it. I don’t care about other people’s lives, but you can’t take medicine indiscriminately, it’s three-part poison.”

Zhou Qin glanced sideways at Lao Song and said, "My mind is not broken, don't worry."

Song Bingkun forced himself to calm down and said confidently:
"I'm studying the "Compendium of Materia Medica", which is not a messy book. I recently soaked my feet with mugwort, which is a treasure for removing moisture."

Zhong Yu smiled and changed the subject: "Whatever you think is good, aren't Brother Song and Sister Mei Ting at home?"

Zhou Qin gave the unpeeled garlic cloves to Zhong Yu and said angrily:
"Mei Ting is staying at school. I told Bo Tao that you would come over for dinner and asked him to help me at home. He ran so fast that he disappeared after lunch."

Song Bingkun drank the Chinese medicine in one breath, put the empty bowl on the table, and explained:
"He is a big guy, how can he help you? He seems to have gone out to find someone. He told me everything, but I couldn't hear him clearly."

Zhou Qin no longer had any hope for the father and son, and calmly said to her daughter:
"He will definitely be back at meal time. His greatest advantage is that he is on time for meals."

As if to prove this ironic statement, Song Botao came back as soon as the food was served.

He wasn't the only one who came back.
