Rebirth Era: The Miracle Doctor Jiaojiao is Beautiful and Cool

Chapter 41 Accompanying Grandpa on a Medical Visit

After seeing Xi Zhifan off, Auntie also packed up some leftover pork elbows to take back home so as not to upset her mother-in-law.

Lu Yuzhu accompanied her two good sisters to clean up the kitchen leftovers until dark before returning home.

Old Master Gu and his daughter-in-law returned the borrowed pots, tables and chairs to each household.

Gu Nanxing and Li Tianjiao were sweeping the yard, while the naughty Xuanxuan was happily stepping on the melon seed shells on the ground and spinning in circles, having a lot of fun.

They officially moved into the new house today. Tianjiao slept in the guest room next to Gu Nanxing. She felt too empty sleeping alone today, so she went to accompany Nanxing to read until very late.

As the Chinese New Year approaches, you can see young people returning home from work carrying large and small bags on the village roads. The bright smiles on their faces are undoubtedly because they have made a lot of money this year.

Gu Nanxing closed the window, and there was finally a little warmth in the room.

"Ancestor"

Someone outside the house called Grandpa, Gu Nanxing opened the window again, and Yaya, the village chief's daughter, was standing at the door.

Old Mrs. Wang downstairs went out to open the door with a bowl of porridge in her hand. "Ya Ya, have you had breakfast? Your grandfather went to the bathroom. What's the matter?"

Yaya's face flushed red as she ran, and she cried, "Grandpa, no matter how much I called you this morning, you wouldn't respond. You kept moaning that your stomach hurt!"

How could you hum if I said no? The little girl's words were incoherent, and Old Lady Wang was completely bewildered. She squatted down and carried the girl into the kitchen, "Warm up the fire first, and wait for your ancestor to come out of the toilet and go over and take a look."

"Yeah, thank you, Grandpa Wang." The little girl buried her head in the old lady's neck. She was so scared that her best grandfather couldn't get up to play with her.

The little girl is younger than Gu Nanxing and the others, and she calls all the elders in the village "ancestors."

Gu Nanxing went into the space to wash up, changed into pajamas and went downstairs to the kitchen.

Waiting for grandpa to come out of the toilet.

The village chief takes them to school and picks them up from school every day. He resolves all conflicts and disputes in the village impartially, never showing favoritism or indulging anyone who takes shortcuts.

She plans to go and have a look with her grandfather later.

"Nanxing, we're having shepherd's purse stew today, come quickly." Li Tianjiao saw her come in, gave the small bowl to Yaya, and filled another bowl.

She was so diligent that Old Lady Wang and Zhou Xiaoqing didn't have to do much. Tianjiao was Nanxing's good friend. She was a poor child. Now that she wasn't taking care of her uncle and aunt, she could stay at home as long as she wanted. They were happy to see it happen. It was just another mouth to feed.

"Sister, you eat."

Xuanxuan used his own spoon to scoop up some cold porridge that his mother had blown down and fed it to his sister.

Gu Nanxing smiled and sat over, eating it in one mouthful without hesitation.

After finishing breakfast, Mr. Gu still didn't show up. Yaya was so anxious that she pursed her lips and was about to cry.

Mrs. Wang was so angry that she ran to knock on the toilet door and said, "Did you fall into the toilet or something? It took you half an hour to take a shit."

The door opened with a bang, and Mr. Gu came out with a smile.

The smell was too strong, and Old Lady Wang glared at him and turned away.

Hearing that the village chief was not feeling well, Mr. Gu picked up his small medicine box, gathered all the bottles and jars of medicine he had made, and took Yaya out.

"Grandpa, wait for me."

Gu Nanxing and Li Tianjiao followed.

The little girl is going to study medicine in the future, so Mr. Gu will go with her and see some patients and see the world.

The village chief's wife, Zhang Lan, had been waiting at the door for a long time. When she saw someone coming, she hurried to greet him, "Uncle Gu, Lao Jiao went to Chen's house to eat donkey meat yesterday. Chen Dong came back from work and said he wanted to celebrate."

"Last night, Lao Jiao kept running to the bathroom. I guessed he had diarrhea, so I found some Xie Li Ting for him to take."

"I kept complaining of stomachache in the middle of the night. What should I do?" Zhang Lan told the whole story in a panic.

"Well, let me see him first." Old Master Gu walked into the main room carrying a medicine box.

Zhang Lan took Yaya back from Uncle Gu's arms, "Hold her, we won't interfere with the old man's treatment."

Yaya nodded obediently.

The village chief was a man, so Li Tianjiao stopped in the main hall and didn't want to follow him in.

Gu Nanxing didn't care about these things and followed his grandfather into the village chief's room.

The village chief lay on the bed with a pale face, holding his stomach and groaning.

Old Master Gu touched his forehead and found his temperature was normal. "Lao Jiao, this is Uncle Gu. Besides your stomach, do you feel any pain elsewhere?"

Hearing Uncle Gu's voice, Jiao Changlin opened his eyes, "Uncle Gu is here. I seem to have had a stomach upset yesterday. Could you please prescribe some warming and nourishing herbal medicine for me?"

Gu Nanxing found a stool by the door and placed it next to the bed so that his grandfather could take his pulse. He stood behind him and observed the village chief's expression.

The eye sockets are dark and sunken, caused by diarrhea and exhaustion last night.

Grandpa checked his tongue coating, which was waxy yellow with beads. When he pressed his mid-abdomen, the village chief showed no reaction.

He touched the area around his belly button, but before he could press it, the village chief's face changed drastically. "Ouch! It hurts!"

Old Man Gu moved to the right lower abdomen again, and the village chief screamed even louder.

"Ah~ Lao Jiao, you have acute appendicitis. You need to go to the hospital for surgery immediately."

Gu Nanxing: “.”

She overestimated her grandfather's medical skills!

Because of my grandfather's mediocre skills, everyone goes to him for help with any illness, big or small. They really trust him and are not afraid that he might make things worse.

Zhang Lan and Tianjiao were chatting in the main room while holding Yaya. When they heard that she needed surgery, they gasped. Is it so serious?

"Uncle Gu, you said it's appendicitis. Then I'll call Chen Dong and ask him to come over and take us to the hospital on a tricycle." As he said that, he handed Yaya to Tianjiao and took out his cell phone from his pocket and dialed a number.

Gu Nanxing stopped her and said, "Aunt Lan, don't call yet. Uncle doesn't have appendicitis."

As she spoke, she walked to the bedside and pressed her grandfather's hand on the actual location of the appendix. "Grandpa, you touched the wrong spot. The appendix is here. Where you pressed belongs to the large intestine. Uncle ate something unclean, so he had diarrhea last night. He has a bit of enteritis. He took Xieliting on an empty stomach, and his stomach couldn't stand it and had stomach cramps."

The village chief was sweating from the pain!
"Aunt Lan, come back with me and grandpa to get the medicine." Gu Nanxing was sure that there was no stomach medicine in grandpa's medicine box.

Zhang Lan looked at Uncle Gu and then at Nanxing. The little girl's words made sense. Who should she believe?
Her mind raced, and she finally put away her phone. "Girl, I'll listen to you. I'll go with you."

As long as you don't have surgery, try taking medicine first. If it doesn't work, we can think of another way.

Old Master Gu stood up stiffly, looked at his granddaughter and felt a little embarrassed for a moment. Damn, he almost made a misdiagnosis.

The village chief's two sons have not returned for the New Year. The village chief is sick, and Aunt Lan went to get medicine. There are only two little grandchildren at home, and Tianjiao took the initiative to stay and help Aunt Lan take care of the children.

In the big pharmacy on the first floor of the Gu family, Old Man Gu followed his granddaughter with a small bamboo dustpan, watching her get the medicine without blinking.

"Nanxing, there is a small scale over there, let's weigh it." Old Master Gu saw her grabbing handfuls of dried and uncut herbs, and then he roughly broke them with his hands.
Gu Nanxing looked back at his grandfather and said, "My hand is a scale. I can tell the dosage just by grabbing it."

Just kidding, I've been practicing alchemy for more than a thousand years, so I should have developed the feel for it long ago.

Old Master Gu frowned slightly. Why did he feel that his granddaughter was so powerful?

After wrapping the two pieces of medicine in yellow paper and handing them to Aunt Lan, Gu Nanxing instructed, "Aunt Lan, go back and boil the medicine in a clay pot. Give Uncle something to eat before he drinks the medicine."
