It is not easy to be a doctor. Even for Western medicine, one has to go through four years of professional training before being competent. This is still the fastest way. If you need to learn more professionally, you will need to study for a longer time.
For example, if you want to study Chinese medicine, it is impossible to become a master without 10 to 20 years of study. As for Chinese medicine taught in schools, not only are there very few schools offering it, but even fewer can achieve success. Most people have to be exposed to Western medicine before they graduate.
Yang Qi is so young and he said that he is the most difficult Chinese medicine to learn. Chen Kang is naturally relieved, after all, Yang Qi is not a medical student.
Chen Kang just watched without saying anything, waiting to see Yang Qi make a fool of himself.
"There is indeed nothing serious wrong with grandma's health." Yang Qi checked for a moment and then said with a smile.
Although Yang Qi's words were almost the same as Chen Kang's before, at the old woman's age, when the doctor said that she was in good health, not only she herself, but also her children beside her had a smile on their faces. This was not said by one doctor, but by two doctors together.
"I didn't expect Mr. Yang is also proficient in Chinese medicine." Chen Kang on the side said with emotion.
After these words were spoken, everyone remembered that Chen Kang had already concluded that the old man was in good health and had no serious illness.
In comparison, Yang Qi was just repeating what others had said. Before Chen Kang didn't speak, no one thought much of it. Now that Chen Kang said this, everyone understood that Yang Qi's level of Chinese medicine was probably not very high, and he was simply following Chen Kang's words. If there was no problem, both he and Chen Kang were fine. If there was a problem, both he and Chen Kang were not good enough, no wonder Chen Kang suddenly spoke.
Although the women present were all rural women who had never experienced any intrigue, they had lived for decades and had seen countless family affairs. They immediately understood what Chen Kang was thinking. However, Chen Kang could not be blamed for thinking about this. It was really because Yang Qi copied his words completely, so it was no wonder that she was a little angry.
"This guy..." Yang Qi felt the unhappy looks on the old man and Zhao Yixin's aunts' faces, and he knew Chen Kang's sinister intentions.
"Dr. Chen, you are too kind. My knowledge of Chinese medicine is very limited, but..." Yang Qi said here, looking at the old woman, "But grandma should have some minor problems with her stomach."
Hearing this, the expressions of the old man and several middle-aged women beside him changed slightly. Not many people knew that the old man had stomach problems. In fact, this was a disease left over from earlier years.
The time when the old man was born was the most frequent period of war in China. Although the Japanese did not invade Qingchuan Province at that time, there were various heavy taxes and insufficient food, so the old man basically never had enough to eat when he was a child. Later, when Taizu founded the country, although the situation was better, before the reform, people could only be said to be not starving to death. In addition, there were several children in the family, so the old man ate less and gave the saved food to several children, which led to stomach problems.
However, as conditions improved later, the old man's stomach problems only occurred occasionally and were not a big problem.
In fact, not to mention the old people’s generation, even in Zhao Yixin’s parents’ generation, there was not enough food.
When Yang Qi was young, he was often scolded by his parents for wasting food. His parents even often told him about their childhood. At that time, sweet potatoes and wheat were the main food because they could be eaten even if they were not fully mature. There were even more people in the family and there was not enough food, so they had to eat Guanyin soil.
The so-called Guanyin soil is white mud, mixed with wheat pulp, and it is food to fill the stomach. Very few people who lived through that era have a healthy stomach!
"Is there something wrong with the old man's stomach?" Chen Kang was stunned. He was unable to find out the problem. The old man's stomach problem was not serious. Without any equipment, he could only rely on his own experience to do a simple examination. However, he could still barely detect some major illnesses, but not minor ones.
"Yang Qi, does grandma really have stomach problems?" Zhao Yixin, who was standing by, quickly asked when she heard this.
When she was a child, her grandmother would save any good things for her to eat. Even the candies and other things that her daughters brought when they came to pay New Year's greetings went into the stomachs of the three siblings.
"Yes, but it's not serious." Yang Qi nodded.
The old man’s stomach problem is indeed not serious. Although he didn’t eat enough when he was young, he was not too hungry, otherwise his stomach problem would be more serious.
“These are all illnesses left over from my early years. Now I can eat and sleep well, so it’s not a big problem,” the old man said with a smile.
At her age, what she fears most is not death, but getting a serious illness. Even if she dies, it will be painful.
Chen Kang was embarrassed. The old man admitted that he really had a stomach problem. However, he, as a doctor, didn't see it, but Yang Qi saw it. This was a bit embarrassing. You know, he is a real professional doctor, and he is a doctor at the Municipal Hospital.
The medical skills displayed by Yang Qi greatly changed the old woman's impression of Yang Qi. The old woman had been optimistic about Chen Kang before because of his profession. Now her granddaughter has found a boyfriend who is not only better than Chen Kang in other aspects, but also has better medical skills than Chen Kang. She can't help but dislike him.
During the following conversation, the old man's attitude became obviously more friendly, and he was less enthusiastic towards Chen Kang.
After chatting with the old man for a while, Zhao Yixin's father Zhao Yong and Zhao Yiwei rushed back from preparing tomorrow's dishes.
"Xiao Yang, would you like a cigarette?" Zhao Yiwei handed Yang Qi a Yunnan Yunnan cigarette.
"No, I don't smoke." Yang Qi waved his hand. He used to smoke, but after being with Luo Rong, he quit and has not smoked for a long time now.
Zhao Yiwei lit one up and started smoking. Zhao Yiwei was a bit dark and thin. After all, he was working on a plantation and often ran around the mountains.
"Xinxin has had a bad temper since she was a child. You have to be more tolerant of her." Zhao Yiwei has been married for a long time, but his family conditions are not good. It was Zhao Yixin who paid the down payment for the house in the county town last time, which made him feel that he owed his sister a little.
"Xinxin has a good temper." Yang Qi said quickly. He noticed that Zhao Yixin was not far away, so he didn't dare to say anything bad about her.
"Haha~" Zhao Yiwei couldn't help but smile when he heard that, and continued, "It seems that you have been bullied by her a lot. This girl has been like a wild boy since she was a child. Even when she grows up, she is not much better."
Yang Qi nodded in agreement in his heart, but did not show it on his face. The two chatted for a while, and Zhao Yiwei mostly talked to him about Zhao Yixin, and occasionally asked about Yang Qi's situation.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, the table had been set up in the courtyard, ready for the feast, and then Zhao Yiwei went to greet other people.
"What did my brother say to you?" Zhao Yixin asked as soon as Zhao Yiwei left.
"What can I say? It's just that you were like a wild boy when you were a child." Yang Qi curled his lips.
"Really? How come Big Brother told you all these things?" Zhao Yixin said with some dissatisfaction. (To be continued)
