Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 976 The Queen's Extra-Long Maternity Leave, Xiao Zhang's Wedding Invitation (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets: 3K Chapters)

"Thank you for your concern, Dean. I feel much better after taking the medicine." In the main hall of Fang Yan's house, Zhu Lin thanked the dean.

When the dean's wife heard that Zhu Lin was getting better, she was surprised, recalling that it had only been an hour from the time she called in Fangyan to when she took the medicine. She exclaimed, "It worked so quickly?"

"Yes, it's much better." Zhu Lin nodded with a smile.

The hospital director looked at his wife, half reproachful and half proud: "Look at what you're saying, how could medicine prescribed by someone with a dialect be bad?"

The lady then realized what had happened and quickly tried to smooth things over with a smile:

"That's right! Fang Yan is a pillar of Peking Union Medical College Hospital's traditional Chinese medicine department. Prescriptions that pass through his hands are effective very quickly!"

"Of course!" the dean said with pride. Fang Yan was now his "golden brand," his reputation even surpassing that of many Western medicine doctors. In his heart, he had long regarded Fang Yan as family, and even his wife's unintentional doubts sounded particularly unpleasant to him.

Fang Yan quickly and modestly replied:

"Dean, you flatter me. There are three main reasons why it was so effective this time: First, Zhu Lin has a good constitution and received timely medical treatment; second, the prescription by Master Zhang Zhongjing is exquisite, and Huanglian Ejiao Tang is a classic prescription specifically for treating 'restlessness and insomnia'; third, we added sweet and cold herbs such as Sha Shen and Yu Zhu to the original prescription, which can replenish the yin fluids lost during pregnancy and avoid the bitter and cold herbs from damaging the spleen and stomach. Of course, the most important thing is that you personally coordinated with the pharmacy, allowing us to use authentic medicinal materials as soon as possible."

In the end, Fang Yan didn't forget to thank the dean.

This pleased the dean, though he outwardly remained completely indifferent.
"Sigh, let's not talk about that. As long as the illness can be cured, that's all that matters."

After saying that, he then asked Fang Yan:

"By the way, how far along is Zhu Lin in her pregnancy?"

He said in dialect:

"It's been four months."

The dean stroked his beard and said:
"Then it's about time to take maternity leave."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Lin exclaimed in surprise:
"Isn't it too early?"

"Isn't maternity leave usually started in the seventh month?"

The dean waved his hand at her and said:

"No need to stay up so late. You're just too busy with work right now and don't have time to take care of yourself. I'll talk to the rehabilitation department tomorrow, and then you can start your maternity leave."

“This…” Zhu Lin looked at Fang Yan, wanting to hear his opinion.

Actually, she wanted to work for a while longer.

Fang Yan understood Zhu Lin's meaning, and he turned to the dean and said:

"Dean, Zhu Lin's job isn't actually that tiring, and she only works half a day and rests in the afternoon."

Then the dean's wife said:
"Oh dear, you don't understand. After four months, the baby in your belly will get bigger and bigger, and you'll feel tired even if you're just lying down."

"I've been through this, I know more than you young people do."

The dean nodded in agreement:

"You can't go wrong by listening to us! Besides, it's going to get hot soon, and the people in the rehabilitation department will start to smell, which pregnant women are very sensitive to."

"That will be bad for both sides."

The dialect makes sense.

How would a retired cadre feel if you vomited in front of them?
That doesn't seem very polite either.

Upon hearing the dean's words, Zhu Lin thought for a moment and immediately replied:

"Then I'll do as you say!"

"Thank you, Dean!"

Upon hearing this, the dean waved his hand:
"Hey, don't be shy. If you're bored, you can come over and visit us!"

The dean's wife also said:
"Yes, yes, this is a good time to teach you how to make some small clothes and shoes for the child."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Lin immediately became interested and nodded in agreement:

"it is good!"

After today, Zhu Lin will begin several months of pregnancy rest and recuperation.

Huang Huijie must be getting bored in the hospital.

Normally, she would only talk to Zhu Lin when she was at work, and she didn't trust anyone else. Now that Zhu Lin was on vacation, she didn't even have anyone to talk to in the rehabilitation department.

However, she definitely won't stay there. Anyway, Fang Yan's house is so close, she'll come out to look for people in a few days.

After chatting for a while, the topic shifted to Peking Union Medical College, also known as the Capital Union Medical College of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, and the resumption of postgraduate enrollment.

After Peking Union Medical College resumed the college entrance examination last year, it mainly focused on recruiting undergraduate students in its advantageous disciplines, including internal medicine, surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, physiology, and biochemistry.

This year's graduate students, relying on the research resources of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, will focus on recruiting graduate students in the fields of medicine, pharmacy, and basic medicine, with a training direction that combines scientific research and clinical practice.

The admission process at Peking Union Medical College was equally rigorous, with only three classes and a little over one hundred students.

The field of Western medicine is also highly competitive.

These days, it's all about real ability.

After a brief moment of reflection, the dean prepared to take his leave.

Fang Yan escorted the elderly couple out of the courtyard house and all the way to the entrance of the Xiehe Villa District across the street.

After saying goodbye, he finally returned home.

It was almost time for everyone to wash up and go to bed. Fang Yan and Zhu Lin washed up and went back to their bedroom.

Fang Yan gently closed the door, turned back to his wife, and asked:
"How is it? This room is rather small. Do you feel restless?"

Whenever his wife says she's annoyed, he immediately prepares to open the door.

Zhu Lin pondered for a moment, then said:
"Yeah...it's okay."

After confirming that everything was alright, Fang Yan returned to the bedside and began massaging his wife's acupoints.

"No matter how busy we are, we should still check every day so that we can make timely adjustments if there are any problems..." he said in dialect.

Her Majesty the Queen nodded:
"Well, it's up to you."

Today's events really scared her; she doesn't even know what happened to her.

"Speaking of which, is this something that will happen to everyone, more or less, once the time comes?" Zhu Lin asked Fang Yan.

"It also depends on individual constitution. Pregnancy nausea and vomiting is similar to morning sickness; not every pregnant woman experiences it. Whether it occurs depends mainly on three factors: First, one's constitution; those with yin deficiency and excessive internal heat are more susceptible. Second, the stage of fetal development; it's most likely to be triggered during the rapid growth phase of the fetus, such as the 4th to 6th months of pregnancy. Third, daily lifestyle; if there is high work pressure and insufficient rest, it's like dry tinder meeting a spark. In short, mood plays a significant role..."

At this point, Fang Yan paused and asked:

"By the way, what's been bothering you lately? Are you under a lot of stress?"

Zhu Lin said:

"We're together every day, what could possibly happen to me that you don't know?" Fang Yan thought for a moment and asked:

"About publishing a book?"

Zhu Lin said:

"Hmm, this is Huang Huijie and her husband's first book publication, and they're even going to publish it internationally. I wonder what will happen..."

Fang Yan quickly encouraged his wife, saying:

I have faith in you!

Although Zhu Lin knew that Fang Yan was trying to comfort her, she felt much better.

He joked in the dialect:
"Haha, when have you ever lacked confidence in me?"

The dialect immediately indicated:

No, I've always had faith in you.

"Hahaha..." Zhu Lin laughed loudly.

……

Time flies, and it was morning in the blink of an eye.

After getting up and doing her morning exercise, Fang Yan put the soaked white fungus and lotus seeds from the night before into a pot and made a white fungus and lotus seed soup. This soup can nourish yin and moisten dryness, moisten the lungs and promote body fluids, nourish the heart and calm the mind, and help with sleep and relieve depression. In addition, adding red dates and goji berries can also replenish blood and promote blood circulation. Of course, if you have a weak spleen and stomach, you should add less lotus seeds and cook them for a longer time until they are soft. (PS: The core of the lotus seeds can be removed to avoid bitterness, or you can keep them for people with excessive heart fire.)
This is suitable as breakfast, afternoon tea, or a late-night snack.

You can drink it while recovering from a cold or during dry seasons. You can choose to add sugar or not, depending on your situation.

For example, today's local dialect drink is mainly for his wife, so he didn't add sugar.

Others who prefer sweet drinks can only drink Zhu Liangchun's health-preserving porridge.

That stuff has red dates in it, it's sweeter than this.

After breakfast, Fang Yan knew that today was a special day because it was for two leaders from the China Academy of Engineering Physics to see a doctor, so he didn't ask Li Zhengji to send anyone over.

So during morning rounds, it was just him, Lao Fan, and Yuan Qingshan together.

After finishing the room check, Fang Yan went downstairs to serve VIP Ma Wenying. As soon as he got downstairs, he ran into an acquaintance he hadn't seen in a long time.

Zhang Zhichao, a police officer.

His future father-in-law was cured at Fangyan's hospital last time. (See Chapter 748)
At that time, his future father-in-law, Old Man Sun, had a stroke, and he brought him over.

After recovering here, Xiao Zhang and his girlfriend Sun Xiaolian were discharged from the hospital.

"Brother Fang!" Xiao Zhang greeted Fang Yan first.

Fang Yan asked him:

"Xiao Zhang, what brings you here so early?"

"I'm looking for you!" Xiao Zhang said.

Fang Yan was taken aback and asked:

"Handling a case?"

His first thought was that the municipal bureau had encountered another problem, one that even trace evidence experts couldn't solve.

Xiao Zhang shook his head and said:

"No, no, it's this."

As he spoke, he took out a simple invitation card.

Upon closer inspection, the sign read "Wedding invitation for Zhang Zhichao and Sun Xiaolian".

"Getting married?" Fang Yan asked.

Xiao Zhang said somewhat embarrassedly:

"Hey, yeah, Xiaolian and I are having a simple wedding next weekend."

Give a thumbs up to the dialect:
"Great, that's fast!"

Xiao Zhang scratched his head:
"Haha, it's all thanks to you. If you hadn't cured his father, things wouldn't have gone so quickly."

"After Xiaolian's father recovered, he kept urging us to get married, saying that you praised me every day while he was in the hospital."

Dialectal wave:
"Oh, it's not that exaggerated, and I don't say it every day..."

Xiao Zhang said:

"Hehe, no matter what, we have to invite you to our wedding!"

Fang Yan checked the time and said:

"Okay, I'll definitely be there then."

Xiao Zhang nodded:
"Well, then I'll go first!"

"See you later, Brother Fang!"

As he was about to leave, Fang Yan noticed that he had arrived in a sidecar motorcycle and waved to him.

"Well, be careful on the road."

"Okay!" Xiao Zhang nodded and then left.

Fang Yan looked at the invitation in her hand and thought:

I received an invitation early this morning, which means today should go smoothly, right?

I wonder what illness those two are treating when they arrive later...

As long as it's not radiation sickness, there shouldn't be any problem.

Next, Fang Yan drove to give Ma Wenying a follow-up visit, and then drove back to Xiehe Hospital.

I looked around the parking lot, and well, the people from the China Academy of Engineering Physics haven't arrived yet.

So Fang Yan slowly locked the car and walked into the outpatient building.

When I arrived at the door of my clinic, I saw two familiar faces that I had seen in textbooks, sitting on chairs by the door.

Fang Yan froze on the spot. No, judging from this... did they come by bus?

PS: After finishing this chapter, I still owe everyone 90000 words.

That's all for today, please come early tomorrow!
Lao Feng is working hard to write tomorrow's!
