Jing Shao is infertile, but his nanny is pregnant with his child.

After breakfast, Lu Yan said to Zhou Jianguo, "Commander, I'm almost fully recovered. The weather is nice today. If you're free, we can have acupuncture this morning."

Zhou Jianguo: "Okay."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Nuannuan finished eating and stood up. "Mom and Dad, I'm going to school now."

Jin Aiyun: "Eat with your fourth brother, Yanxing, eat faster."

Zhou Yanxing quickly wiped his mouth. "I'm full, let's go."

Zhou Nuannuan blinked. "Let's go then."

The siblings went outside, and Zhou Nuannuan said to Zhou Yanxing, "Fourth brother, wait for me a moment, I need to tell Jingru something."

After saying that, fearing that Zhou Yanxing would follow, Zhou Nuannuan quickly walked into the courtyard, said a few words to Zhu Jingru, and then hurried out.

Zhou Yanxing glanced at her. "What were you talking about with Brother Jingru?"

Zhou Nuannuan walked forward, "It's nothing, let's hurry up and go, we're going to be late."

Zhou Yanxing didn't think much of it and followed her.

Lu Yan was disinfecting the needle when Zhu Jingru came in and said something as soon as he entered.

"Uncle, is your shoulder feeling any better?"

"Jing Ru has arrived."

Jin Aiyun gestured for him to sit down, "He's not done yet, Xiao Lu is giving him acupuncture."

Zhu Jingru looked at Lu Yan and said, "Comrade Lu Yan knows quite a lot."

Lu Yan glanced at him; now there was another person coming to inquire.

"Sir, you can start the intubation now."

Zhou Jianguo lay down properly.

Today, Lu Yan took out ten needles and inserted them around her shoulders one by one.

Zhu Jingru was completely dumbfounded.

This doesn't seem like something a novice would do.

Lu Yan does seem to have some skills.

Zhu Jingru said, seemingly casually, "Comrade Lu Yan, I saw you make medicinal paste yesterday. When can my uncle use it?"

"Tomorrow," Lu Yan said, "Chief, starting tomorrow we will stop acupuncture and apply medicated mud every day. We will resume acupuncture after five days."

Zhou Jianguo: "Okay."

After the acupuncture treatment, Zhou Jianguo sat up, moved his shoulders, and let out a soft "Eh!"

"What's wrong?"

Jin Aiyun quickly came over and asked him.

Zhou Jianguo: "I feel much better this time."

Jin Aiyun: "Really?"

Zhou Jianguo nodded. "I can't quite put my finger on it, but I just feel like I've relaxed a lot."

Lu Yan put away the gold needles and explained, "Chief, because of your previous injury, your meridians were blocked for so many years. Your body has long been used to the feeling of heaviness. Now that they are slightly unblocked, you can feel the difference. You will feel even more comfortable after applying the medicinal mud."

Zhou Jianguo stretched his shoulders again. "I really forgot when my shoulders didn't hurt when I was young. It's a bit hard to get used to this comfort."

"Sir, please do not do heavy work unless absolutely necessary during your treatment, as it will affect the treatment outcome."

Zhou Jianguo: "Okay."

Lu Yan took the gold needles and went back.

Zhu Jingru fell into deep thought.

At noon, Chen Yuhong arrived right on time, having just finished lunch.

"Xiao Lu, do you have time to give my wife a leg massage lately?"

Lu Yan neither nodded nor shook her head, but simply said, "Madam, may I give you an answer tonight?"

Since she was working here, she couldn't just take on private jobs in front of the boss. She had to tell Jin Aiyun first. Although Jin Aiyun would definitely agree, Lu Yan felt she still had to tell her.

Chen Yuhong: "Okay, could my husband try the medicinal mud you made first?"

Fearing Lu Yan would refuse, Chen Yuhong said, "We won't use it for free. How much is a box? We'll buy it."

Lu Yan made mud moxibustion with the intention of selling it. If people actively wanted to buy it, Lu Yan was definitely willing to sell it.

"Madam, I just made two boxes. Each box can be used 30 times. It costs 50 yuan per box. If you are worried about the effectiveness, you can buy it by the number of times you use it. It costs 2 yuan per application."

Chen Yuhong: "Can we not buy the whole box?"

Fifty yuan a box is not cheap.

If it doesn't work, then it's all for nothing. If she says she'll back out, Jin Aiyun will definitely get angry with her.

"Okay, you can have the political commissar try it for five consecutive days. If you find it effective, I'll give you the rest of the medicine mud at the price of one box. If you don't find it good, just pay me for the five treatments."

Worried that Chen Yuhong might misunderstand, Lu Yan explained, "Because the political commissar's old ailment is more serious than the chief's, applying the medicine once or twice won't have any effect. But I want to tell you in advance that applying the medicinal mud can only relieve the symptoms. If you want a better effect, you need to combine it with acupuncture and massage. And I can't guarantee that it will definitely cure you, but it's true that you won't be in so much pain that you can't sleep like before."

Unlike Jin Aiyun, Chen Yuhong didn't trust her unconditionally, so she laid out the unpleasant truths beforehand to avoid Chen Yuhong thinking she was exaggerating later.

Chen Yuhong: "He's so old, we didn't expect to be cured. We just hope to reduce his suffering. Does this medicinal mud need to be applied every day?"

"At first, apply it for seven consecutive days, then once every three days, then once every five days. Next summer, when the optimal treatment time arrives, repeat this cycle. Next winter, you definitely won't be in so much pain that you can't sleep."

Chen Yuhong gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, we'll buy one box first, but we don't know how to use it."

"Tell me when the political commissar will have time, and I will go over to apply it to him."

Chen Yuhong was relieved and said, "Okay, okay."

Seeing that they had reached an agreement, Jin Aiyun glared at Chen Yuhong and said, "You old man, didn't you not trust Xiao Lu? How come you changed your mind so quickly?"

Chen Yuhong pointed at her with her finger, "You're really old but you still can't shake your habit of teasing people."

She didn't really believe in Lu Yan's abilities, but her son said that Lu Yan seemed to have some skills.

Her son is also a doctor, so you can definitely believe what he says.

After Chen Yuhong returned, Lu Yan then discussed it with Jin Aiyun.

"Auntie, I'd like to discuss something with you."

"you say."

"I want to set aside an hour and a half each day for Political Commissar Zhu to receive acupuncture, and applying the medicinal mud may also take an hour and a half."

Upon hearing this, Jin Aiyun laughed, "I thought it was something serious. Go ahead and do it. Just charge her what she's supposed to charge. Don't let her get away with it."

Lu Yan looked grateful. "Thank you, Auntie. Don't worry, I will definitely not delay the cooking, nor will I take up Mr. Zhou's massage time."

Jin Aiyun understood what she meant and said, "Xiao Lu, in my eyes you are almost like my child. You have the ability to treat people's illnesses, so you should go out and realize your value. You don't need to worry about things at home."

Lu Yan felt a warmth in her heart again. "Thank you, Auntie."

After discussing it with Jin Aiyun, Lu Yan went to Political Commissar Zhu's house, saying that she had time to get acupuncture recently.

However, she had to give Zhou Yanchen a massage in the afternoon, so she could only spare time in the morning. Lu Yan told her which day Political Commissar Zhu would be available in the morning and let her know a day in advance. If it was a sunny day, she could have acupuncture, which would cost two yuan per session.

Chen Yuhong thought it was a bit expensive, but she gritted her teeth and agreed.
