Chapter 563: Taking the Pulse After a Meal
Chapter 563: Taking the Pulse After a Meal
Xiaomai went downstairs first and just as she reached the restaurant, she heard Youyou's voice outside the door, "Xiaomi, Xiaomai, you're finally here. I thought you weren't coming back."
"Youyou, come and sit down and have dinner." Mother Lu hurriedly called out when she heard her daughter-in-law's voice.
"Okay, thank you, auntie! How do you know I haven't had lunch yet?" Youyou said.
"Your wedding is tomorrow. I heard from Haotian that you have two operations in the hospital today. I think you should be lucky enough to finish them now. How will you have time to eat?" Mother Lu analyzed.
"Wow, Mom, you're almost a detective now, your reasoning is so accurate!" Xiaomai said jokingly.
"Oh! Happy Xiaomai, you're back, that's great!" Youyou also said happily.
"Of course. Don't you see who's back?" As soon as Youyou finished speaking, Haotian came down from upstairs with He Lingting and said.
Youyou looked over and shouted in surprise, "Wow! It turns out that your man is back. No wonder. By the way, Haotian, you searched for a month and couldn't find him. Who found him?"
"No one, Ting found it himself." Haotian said with heartache. Ting really suffered a lot these days. As a brother, he really felt sorry to hear it.
"Yes! Youyou, please check on my husband and see if there is anything else in his body that needs treatment. He was covered in wounds and had a fever when he came back." Xiaomai said anxiously, pulling Youyou. She was eager to know the uncle's current physical condition.
"Don't worry, Xiaomai, I'll check him right away, but..." Youyou said hesitantly. There was no problem in taking He Lingting's pulse, but she didn't dare to touch him because of his mysophobia!
"Well," Xiaomai was a little embarrassed, and then she thought about it and said to Lu's mother: "Mom, please lend me one of your scarves!"
"Okay, Mom will get it for you right away." After saying this, Mother Lu got up and went back to her room.
Haotian hurriedly stopped her and said, "Mom, let's go after dinner! It won't take a while, come on, let's have a meal!"
After Haotian finished speaking, he pulled Youyou to sit on the dining chair, then lowered his head and asked Youyou: "Is the operation completed?"
"Yeah." Youyou nodded in response.
"You must be hungry! Let's eat first and talk about other things after we're full." Haotian said.
"Oh, brother, it turns out that you are worried about your wife not having eaten. Okay! Let's eat first! It's us who have to use her. Husband, let's eat first and then watch!" Xiaomai said teasingly.
"Xiaomi, it's okay to watch it now." Youyou said with a red face.
"No, no, Dad, Mom, let's start the meal! My brother will be heartbroken if my sister-in-law gets hungry later." Xiaomai said mischievously.
"Xiaomi, have you forgotten how miserable you were before? Now that you have a man backing you up, you come here to laugh at me, right?" Youyouyang said in pretended anger.
"No way, I dare not. I am counting on you to take the pulse of my family member." Xiaomai said again.
"Don't give me that. What are you afraid of?" Youyou said unhappily.
"Okay, stop making trouble and eat! The food is getting cold." Seeing Xiaomai and Youyou having fun, Mother Lu was also very happy in her heart. Her son and daughter-in-law will have their wedding tomorrow, and her daughter and son-in-law are safe and happy again.
After hearing what Mother Lu said, everyone stopped joking and started their lunch time.
After lunch, Xiaomai tied a scarf around the uncle's wrist and then Youyou held the wheat through the scarf for He Lingting. Although He Lingting was still a little uncomfortable, it was okay and he didn't react too much.
Youyou concentrated for a while, then let go of Xiaomai's hand and said, "Is his wound infected? Is his lung infected? Is he suffering from stomach problems?"
"Well, he was running a fever when we went to pick him up, and Bai Chen went with us. When we came back, Bai Chen took him to the hospital for a check-up. Just like you said, he was in the hospital on IV drip for a week before being discharged." Xiaomai said that the uncle was really sick when he first came back.
“Well, although I feel better now, I still have to pay attention to my lungs and stomach in the future. A cold may trigger the infection.” Youyou said. In fact, this is what Chinese medicine calls the root of the disease.
Xiaomai asked worriedly after hearing this: "Ah! What should we do to get rid of the root of Bai Neng?"
"Well, there is no absolute method. The main thing is to take care of it. I'll prescribe you a prescription later. You give it to him for a while and I'll check his pulse." Youyou said seriously.
"Okay, thank you! Youyou." Xiaomai said gratefully.
"Silly girl, why are you being so polite to me?" Youyou said, patting Xiaomai's shoulder.
"Okay, then I won't be polite." Xiaomai said with a smile.
"That's right. That's right. Come here, Xiaomai, let me show you." Youyou said as she grabbed Xiaomai's wrist and held it up carefully.
"What are you doing? I'm fine. I'm fine." Xiaomai said.
Youyou was concentrating on listening to Xiaomai's pulse. Xiaomai said a lot, and Youyou was a little annoyed. She said seriously, "Shut up."
Xiaomai was startled, and immediately closed her mouth. She raised her hand and said leisurely, "It's much more stable now, but you must pay attention to supplementing your nutrition."
"I understand, Doctor Ji." Xiaomai said mischievously.
"Stop talking so much. Remember what I said. Don't take it lightly. It's really not easy for this baby to survive. You don't know how bad the pulse was at the beginning. If you keep being so depressed, you will lose the baby sooner or later. Fortunately, you have adjusted your mood." Youyou said.
He Lingting listened to Youyou's words and felt particularly guilty. Fortunately, the girl was fine, otherwise what would be the point of him coming back alive! He hugged Xiaomai distressedly and said in a low voice: "Baby, I'm sorry for making you suffer."
Xiaomai reached out and hugged the uncle back, comforting He Lingting and saying, "Why are you so hard? Husband, don't listen to her nonsense, it's not that heavy at all."
"Who is talking nonsense? You have been in a daze for the past few days. Who fainted after hearing that your man was in trouble? If I hadn't been with you, who knows what would have happened." Youyou said.
After hearing what Youyou said, Xiaomai glared at her fiercely and said, "You are so quick to talk."
"No way, I'm just telling the truth, He Lingting. Really, Xiaomai has shed too many tears for you. If you can come back safely, you must be nice to Xiaomai." Youyou said.
He Lingting took Xiaomai's hand and kissed it, frowning and saying, "Yes, she will always be my life, and loving her is my lifelong wish."
"Okay, we feel relieved with your words." Youyou said with relief.
"Youyou, thank you. I'm sorry for making you worry about me. I really am not upset." Xiaomai thanked her gratefully.
Although the two sisters have not known each other for long, they appreciate and love each other...
