Chapter 106 Health Lecture
"Everyone please be quiet, our health lecture is about to begin." Lin Qing smiled slightly, his voice as clear and pleasant as morning dew, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
"Ms. Lin, what do you want to tell us today?" Aunt Zhang, who was sitting in the front row, asked with a smile. Her eyes were full of wrinkles, making her look kind and warm.
"Today we are mainly discussing how to prevent the common flu and cough in autumn and winter." Lin Qing pointed to the prepared herbs and books, "I have prepared some simple and practical prescriptions here, which are suitable for people in our village."
"Influenza is no small matter. A few days ago, Xiao Li from the east end of the village coughed for a whole month!" Uncle Wang next to him also interrupted, his tone full of worry.
"Yes, I have heard about what Uncle Wang mentioned before. If the flu is not treated in time, it will indeed become very serious." Lin Qing nodded and continued, "So, everyone should keep warm and wash their hands frequently. In addition, in terms of diet, you should also eat more foods that help improve immunity, such as longan, red dates, yam, etc."
"Longan? Red dates? I've rarely seen these good things. It would be a dream to eat them normally." Old Chen let out a long breath, obviously feeling helpless about the food shortage.
"Old Chen, you can use some simple local health-preserving ingredients, such as white radish and ginger, to boil water and drink it, which can also strengthen your physical fitness." Lin Qing encouraged, "As we often say, food therapy is also a good way."
"Come to think of it, I once boiled some white radish in water and I really felt much better, and my cough was relieved a lot as well." Xiao Linzi responded seriously, with a gleam in his big watery eyes.
"Yes, that's what I want to emphasize. It's not difficult to cure diseases with diet therapy. Everyone should pay more attention to it and do more practice." Lin Qing glanced at every villager and found that they all looked thoughtful, and his heart warmed slightly.
"But I still think that if you are sick, it is best to see a doctor." The waiter sitting in the back interrupted, his attitude seemed a little hesitant, his fingers polished the bowl clean, as if he was thinking about something.
"I totally agree with this." Lin Qing nodded slightly, his expression becoming serious. "Going to the doctor is a good choice, but for some minor illnesses and pains, as long as we have some basic nursing knowledge, we can also take care of ourselves at home."
"I've heard that eating some onions, ginger and garlic can ward off the cold." Aunt Li from the village suddenly interrupted. Her job was weaving, and she was quite knowledgeable about health.
"Yes, especially the herbs commonly used by the people, most of them are very effective." Lin Qing was pleased to see the audience gradually warming up, "But remember, you still have to choose according to your personal physical condition."
As time went by, the lecture gradually reached its climax.
"Xiaoqing, if we catch a cold, can we drink some hot soup to keep warm?" The young farmer Li Xiaowu asked a little nervously when he heard this.
"Of course you can. Hot soup can effectively relieve physical discomfort and make us sweat, which helps improve blood circulation. But be careful not to drink it too hot, as it can easily cause burns." As soon as Lin Qing finished speaking, everyone nodded in agreement.
"Ms. Lin, I want to ask, my wife always has headaches, is there any good folk remedy?" Old man Li, who was sitting in the back, had a worried look on his face.
"Old man Li, there are many reasons for headaches. You can try boiling water with mint and chrysanthemum and making it into tea. It can both cool you down and relieve pain." Lin Qing explained patiently, with meticulous concern in his eyes.
"Thank you so much, Miss Lin!" Old Man Li was grateful. "Our small village is so lucky to have a female doctor like you."
"Everyone's health is my biggest wish. I hope that through these lectures, more people can master the ability to take care of themselves independently." Lin Qing said modestly, his eyes firm and warm.
"Good morning, Miss Lin. There must be a lot of people here today, right?" Aunt Zhang pushed open the door of the clinic with a smile on her face and a basket of fresh vegetables in her hands.
"Good morning, Aunt Zhang! There should be a few patients coming today, and I happen to have some new prescriptions that I want to share with you." Lin Qing walked out from behind the table, took the vegetable basket from Aunt Zhang, and busied himself preparing breakfast.
"Everyone has been talking about your great medical skills these days. Even Chen Laoer from the village came to praise you." Aunt Zhang helped with joy in her eyes. "I wonder what happened to him?"
"I heard that he had severe leg pain recently, so he came to see me." Lin Qing responded with a smile, but in his heart he was relieved that he could gain the trust of the villagers. "Maybe he is old, he should be more careful."
At this moment, Li Xiaowu hurried in, looking anxious: "Miss Lin, have you seen Xiaohua? She suddenly had a fever again and couldn't eat!"
"Don't worry, Li Xiaowu, take me to see Xiaohua." Lin Qing immediately picked up the medicine box and walked out. Aunt Zhang followed her out and said with concern: "I happen to have some antipyretic medicine, give it to her."
"Thank you, Aunt Zhang!" Li Xiaowu showed a look of relief on his face and took the lead to walk towards Xiaohua's house.
Soon after, they arrived in front of Li Xiaowu's room. Inside the room, Xiaohua curled up in the quilt, her face ruddy and pale. Lin Qing stepped forward and asked softly: "Xiaohua, where do you feel uncomfortable?"
"Head...head hurts, and I feel cold..." Xiaohua answered weakly, with tears in her eyes, looking a little helpless.
"It's okay, I'll help you." Lin Qing carefully felt Xiaohua's pulse, his expression becoming more serious. "Aunt Zhang, please bring the chicken soup and the medicine you mentioned, I need to mix them."
"Okay, I'll go right away!" Aunt Zhang walked over quickly and responded repeatedly.
"But, Xiaohua, you have to take the medicine obediently and drink more water, okay?" Lin Qing comforted gently, with meticulous concern in his eyes.
"I understand, Miss Lin, I will be good..." Xiaohua blinked her big eyes coquettishly, and seemed to feel that Lin Qing's comfort made her calm down a little.
Soon, Aunt Zhang brought hot chicken soup. Lin Qing first let Xiaohua drink some of the soup, then mixed the medicine for her and fed it to her gently. After some twists and turns, Xiaohua finally stopped making a fuss and lay down quietly.
"Thank you so much, Miss Lin! I have been feeling anxious these past few days and just didn't know what to do." Li Xiaowu breathed a sigh of relief and held Lin Qing's hand with gratitude.
"You're welcome, Xiaowu. This is what I should do." Lin Qing responded with a smile, feeling sincerely relieved for Xiaohua's improvement.
Not far away, villagers gathered together to chat about things, nodding their heads frequently when talking about the reputation of the clinic: "Do you know? Miss Lin's medical skills are really amazing. Last time I treated the elderly in her family, the prescription she used was really good!"
"I heard about it too. She cured Old Li a few days ago and everyone is praising her!" A voice sounded, and everyone expressed their opinions, revealing their recognition and admiration for Lin Qing in their words.
At this time, Uncle Wang said loudly: "Not only does she teach us medical skills, she also teaches us a lot of health knowledge. We are so lucky!"
"Yes, for these country people, Miss Lin is our lucky star!" Another villager echoed, his excited tone full of gratitude.
As people actively discussed the issue, more and more villagers regarded the clinic as their health center. As time went by, Lin Qing's clinic business became better and better.
Lin Qing is still full of enthusiasm and treats every patient seriously. She continues to expand her medical knowledge, sometimes borrowing books to study, or seeking advice from outsiders, hoping to better serve the villagers.
Another evening, Lin Qing's face was full of smiles, and her heart was full of longing for the future. She looked up at the afterglow of the sunset, and secretly vowed in her heart to continue working hard for the health of the villagers and let more people enjoy the glory of treatment.
