I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Chapter 679: Chapter 678

The medical exchange conference is a great opportunity for those who are prepared to gain fame and a large platform for those with other motives. Usually, so many clan sects of the Xuan Medical Family would not gather together like this.

For this reason, the exchange conference has become a grand event for the mystic doctors, the most anticipated occasion every four years.

Beisitian, inadvertently, or rather under someone’s deliberate act, obtained the qualification token to participate in the competition. Her initial intention was not to stand out too much, but Beijiale’s words changed her mindset, turning it into an opportunity instead.

On the third day, Beisitian did not go because the stored milk had run out. The weather was still quite cold, and the extra milk could be stored for a few days. Mrs. Qin thought about whether to buy a refrigerator.

”I think we should buy one. Otherwise, how will we store the milk for the baby? When I went to Xiao Zhou’s house the other day, they had a green refrigerator with upper and lower doors. It was really nice,” Mrs. Qin said.

She had wanted to buy one for a long time, but she didn’t earn money, and the refrigerator was so expensive. How could she bear to buy it? Besides, a while ago, Beisitian, afraid she might get bored, bought two large peony color TVs for the two courtyards, replacing the old second-hand black-and-white ones, which cost a lot of money.

Fortunately, Luo Anguo’s calligraphy and painting shop had started making a profit. Although the initial expenses were borne by the son and daughter-in-law, it wasn’t in vain to open such a shop after all. Mrs. Qin was thinking of filling up Beisitian’s courtyard with a refrigerator.

By then, whenever Beisitian was busy with something, having ready-made milk heated up meant the three little ones wouldn’t go hungry. From the bottom of her heart, Mrs. Qin didn’t like using formula milk; it was best for the children to drink breast milk.

What’s more, Beisitian was in good health and knew how to take care of her body. The nutrition from breast milk far exceeded that of formula, so Mrs. Qin mainly let the children drink breast milk, except for the evening formula feeding.

Without a refrigerator, the milk couldn’t be stored for even two days. The past couple of days, Beisitian had been out running around every day, and the ’food reserves’ for the three children were quickly running out.

Today, Mrs. Qin insisted on not letting Beisitian leave. If she left again, what would the three kids eat?

Of course, Beisitian couldn’t just watch the three babies go without food, so she obediently stayed and spent a day with the precious ones.

She watched the three little ones arching their bodies on the big bed, trying to sit up, laughing so hard she bent over backwards.

As she laughed, the three little ones looked at her with their black-grape-like eyes, full of confusion and curiosity.

Witnessing the little ones’ dumb-cute expressions, Beisitian’s heart was nearly melted by their cuteness.

Luo Yixuan and Luo Yiqian were separated by their brother Luo Yirui. Since the little ones couldn’t move on their own yet, there wasn’t any major danger, but this wasn’t a long-term solution. Once the children could walk and run, two adults might not be able to keep an eye on them.

Thinking of this, Beisitian’s smile faded considerably, staring at the three children. Every time this happened, she felt a sense of urgency, hoping to find a solution quickly.

Mrs. Qin stepped in, seeing Beisitian lost in thought and glancing at the three soft, adorable babies, she sighed. If it weren’t for this ailment, how happy a big family they would be, so joyous!

Mrs. Qin didn’t say it out loud because the most troubled and worried one here was undoubtedly Beisitian, the mother. How could she add to her woes? All she could do was share some of her burdens, giving her more time to attend to her matters.

If it weren’t for the fact that the children were really out of milk, she wouldn’t have kept Beisitian home today.

But without reserves, there wouldn’t be milk tomorrow either...

Mrs. Qin raised her head, wondering what to do?

Keeping Beisitian for a day was okay, but these days were crucial, and she couldn’t keep her every day.

”Good thing we started the children on formula from the beginning, otherwise they wouldn’t have adapted to drinking formula suddenly,” Mrs. Qin said.

Now, the children’s poop was golden, which was good. Initially, when they started on formula, it was green but improved after switching to a different formula.

”Alright, if you’re too busy, you can leave. There’s me and Gao Ma at home,” said Mrs. Qin.

”It’s okay, it’s just a good time to take a break,” replied Beisitian.

She wanted to take today to prepare a bit, since in a competition, only experts appeared, and she never underestimated any opponent. After all, she wasn’t truly twenty, full of youthful exuberance and ignorance.

After drinking packets of milk, the three children finally drifted off to sleep on the bed. Compared to many children, their ability to eat and sleep made them much less worrisome.

Mrs. Qin watched the children here while Gao Ma was washing diapers and little clothes. Beisitian went to the west room to prepare some things she would need.

Beisitian had a special small storeroom, located between her and Luo Xudong’s bedroom. It was a small partition created by Luo Xudong, using a hidden door lock.

So what is a hidden door lock? In Beisitian and Luo Xudong’s bedroom, there were hanging paintings and calligraphy. On the symmetrical wall at home, there were two full landscape paintings. One side was at the head of the bed, and hidden in the landscape painting was a door, the seam concealed in the painting, the lock hole hidden too. Even if someone knew it existed and searched, they might not find it.

The big bed looked like a single unit, but it was foldable. This was replaced especially for placing precious herbs in the small warehouse later on.

Both Mrs. Qin and Luo Anguo knew about this. They wouldn’t generally let Gao Ma and the others stay alone in the bedroom. There were always people at home, and since the children arrived, Mrs. Qin stayed here long-term, so there was no worry about anyone discovering anything.

Beisitian entered and exited her small storeroom at night, after Gao Ma and others got off work. This small storeroom was quite hidden.

The herbs inside either bought by Beisitian herself or given by others, families like the Wei Family or the Tian Family would send some. Also, Ma Tianlai and Peng Baolai gathered some precious herbs for her. It’s safe to say that taking out just one kind from inside could cover an ordinary family’s two-year expenses.

To prepare items for the competition, Beisitian had to think about what kind of Xuan Talisman she needed to make and what kind of herbs to integrate, preparing them in advance.

The quantity of herbs was usually not much, but there were many types. Moreover, during the integration, there was a sequence to follow, and time was very short, requiring a mystic doctor to have a high command over herbs.

Once she decided on what Xuan Talisman to make, Beisitian began to match the herbs.

Many outsiders only knew that the number of herbs integrated could reflect a mystic doctor’s abilities, but this was actually a major scholarly subject for mystic doctors!

The more herbs integrated, the better, but the more herbs integrated, the stricter the types and the higher demands on the proportions of quantity. The series of combinations needs to be meticulous without any conflict or resistance, and the amount control must be proper. Only then can a mystic doctor’s true skills be seen.
