After emptying her family's fortune, the pampered young lady went to join the army while heavil

Chapter 60: Your medical skills are quite good!

Shi Chunhua smiled shyly and looked around the room somewhat embarrassedly.

Qiao Nian?

After Aunt Liu left the house, Shi Chunhua came in from outside.

"Hey, Comrade Xiao Qiao, I'd like to ask you to take a look at my case."

Qiao Nian was washing her hands when she heard this, and turned to ask Shi Chunhua, "Auntie, is something wrong?"

"Is such that……"

Shi Chunhua was extremely embarrassed and stammered for a while before telling Qiao Nian about her discomfort.

"It...it's so itchy...I want to scratch it every day..."

Qiao Nian?

After thinking for a while, and seeing Shi Chunhua fidgeting and unable to sit still on the stool, she finally understood.

I figured out what was wrong with Shi Chunhua.

She slowly turned around and walked back to her seat.

"Auntie, do you change your underwear often?"

"I……"

Shi Chunhua's dark face flushed slightly, his dark red face filled with embarrassment and awkwardness.

Qiao Nian...

Understood.

"Auntie, besides the itching, do you have any other symptoms? For example, a foul odor, or a cloudy discharge?"

"This……"

Shi Chunhua's face flushed red, her eyes darted around, and she stammered, "Yes..."

It wasn't that she was shy; it was just that it was the first time a young woman like her had ever asked someone to check on her sexual health.

Shi Chunhua was truly inexperienced and too embarrassed to speak up.

If Qiao Nian hadn't been receiving treatment here, she probably would never have told anyone about her sexual problems until she died.

"That's it..."

Qiao Nian understood.

"I'll prescribe some herbs. Take them home, boil them in water, and then use them to wash your face. Wash your face three times a day, morning, noon, and night. After you're done washing, you need to change into clean underwear."

"The underwear I wore before has to be washed with boiling water and then left to dry in the sun."

After Qiao Nian finished speaking, she looked at the sky outside again.

In early February, it's relatively difficult to get a sunny, scorching day.

The only time I can get it to get some sun is around midday.

Not only her underwear, but also her bed sheets and blankets had to be washed and dried in the sun.

"Will this make it better?"

Shi Chunhua was worried that it would cost a lot of money.

However, she can accept washing clothes, underwear, or bed sheets.

Qiao Nian smiled and said, "No, it's not that simple."

"Paying attention to hygiene and preventing cross-infection is only the first step."

"Next, you also need to tell the old man to pay attention to hygiene. If he wants to have sex with you, he must wash himself thoroughly first."

Qiao Nian, who was speaking, didn't blush at all, but Shi Chunhua, who was obedient, blushed completely.

She didn't even dare to look Qiao Nian in the eye.

Well, that's what villagers are like these days. They've been simple and honest their whole lives, and they even feel embarrassed when talking about things that are closely related to their health.

Qiao Nian could understand their thoughts.

Therefore, she showed no disgust or contempt towards Shi Chunhua.

She wrote down a list and asked Shi Chunhua to go to the pharmacy next door and use the list to get some herbs.

These herbs were all found by Li Chunhua in the mountains after the ice thawed in early spring.

Some of them he cultivated in his private plot behind the brigade headquarters. These herbs, unlike the Western medicines in hospitals, were not as expensive.

The herbs that Shi Chunhua picked only cost two cents and could be used to wash the herbs for three days.

This is a benefit provided by the brigade to its members.

We don't make money off our members.

Shi Chunhua took the order, went next door to get the medicine, and paid.

The morning passed, and Qiao Nian had treated three or four patients.

Seeing that it was almost lunchtime, she slowly got up, went next door to call her master, and walked home together to have lunch.

Qiao Nian is now more than five months pregnant with her twins, and will soon be six months along.

Because she was carrying twins, her belly was much larger than that of a typical pregnant woman.

Even though Mr. and Mrs. Qiao Guowen nourished their daughter with good food and drink every day, she didn't gain weight anywhere except for her growing belly.

Those thin arms and legs, supporting a huge belly, were enough to make anyone's heart skip a beat.

I'm afraid my slender legs won't be able to support the weight of my belly.

As the master and apprentice walked, they talked about the cases from that morning. Most of the time, Qiao Nian was reporting to Li Ruihua, and Li Ruihua was pointing out her shortcomings.

The master and apprentice walked slowly along the village road.

Previously, her family had suggested that lunch be delivered to the brigade headquarters so that Qiao Nian could eat there.

This way, she didn't have to travel back and forth, and she wasn't as tired.

However, Qiao Nian thought that it was only almost six months old now, and if she didn't move around at this time, then when she was eight months old, she would be even less likely to be able to move around.

The worst thing to do during pregnancy is to stay still.

Staying still will affect her delivery. If she slacks off now, she will definitely suffer the consequences during childbirth.

Qiao Nian didn't want to be tortured during childbirth.

While you can still walk, take your time and walk slowly.

Besides, there's a three-hour break at noon. You can slowly walk home for lunch, and even take a nap after a full meal.

Li Ruihua supported her decision.

As for Qiao Guowen and Nian Yunci, they couldn't object, so they could only repeatedly tell them to drive slowly, very slowly, on their way home.

Spring is just around the corner, and Qiao Guowen can no longer stay at home every day. He now works with the villagers, going out early and returning late every day to cultivate the land and earn work points.

When it's time to plant sorghum, wheat, and corn, we'll plant them together with the villagers.

Nian Yunci and Wang Xueqin were no exception.

However, the brigade leader took care of their advanced age and poor health, so he arranged for them to raise pigs at the village's pig farm.

There were seven or eight piglets, plus two sows, which were cared for by the two of them, along with two aunties from the village.

The work wasn't particularly tiring, but the work points weren't many either.

They would return home from the pig farm every day at noon and immediately prepare lunch.

Qiao Nian and her master slowly returned home, just as the aroma of food wafted out of the house.

"Mom, hasn't Dad come back yet?" Qiao Nian asked as she entered the room, only to see Nian Yunci busy at work. She was washing her hands with water when she asked.

Nian Yunci smiled faintly, "Yes, I'll be back in a bit."

The mother and daughter had just finished talking when Qiao Guowen came in from outside.

He was covered in sweat, and his tattered old cotton-padded jacket was partially soaked with sweat.

Seeing this, Nian Yunci felt extremely distressed.

He handed the cooled boiled water to Qiao Guowen.

"Why are you in such a hurry? You must be tired after working all morning. Just walk home slowly."

Qiao Guowen listened to his wife's 'complaint' with a smile, took the water she handed him, drank it all in one gulp, and then grinned.

"It's okay, I'm not tired."

After he finished speaking, he put down his bowl and looked at Qiao Nian beside him. "Nian Nian, Dad received a call from Shanghai this morning saying that your uncle was executed. Did you know about this?"
