Xia Yingjie and Tian Rong ca out of the kitchen after hearing their daughter's words and were stunned for a mont when they saw Qin Hao's complexion.
Xia Qing smiled shyly, "Mom and Dad, this is the classmate I told you was coming over today."
Xia Yingjie and Tian Rong had heard their daughter ntion it more than once; they originally thought it would be a female classmate, but it turned out to be a male.
Furthermore, both of them recognized Qin Hao. They still rembered clearly what he had said during their first visit to Jiangshan Roasted Duck Restaurant.
That afternoon, the couple had gone to the hospital for a checkup, and after a thorough examination, issues were indeed detected.
But the doctors could not confirm whether it was truly the early stages of liver cirrhosis, so they were unable to prescribe treatnt.
Because the initial reactions of many diseases, both minor and severe, are similar, it's only in the middle and later stages that the condition can be confird.
By the middle and later stages, the difficulty of cure increases by several tens of tis.
But if a severe patient reaches the middle or later stages, it becos very difficult to cure them with the current level of dical advancent.
Maybe with good luck, a few could be cured, but most would just have their ti of death delayed.
Xia Yingjie was the first to recover, smiling, "I didn't expect you to be Xiaoqing's classmate. This ti, you'll have to take a good look at your uncle's illness."
"Right, have another look at how my husband Xia is doing?" Tian Rong also quickly added.
Xia Qing was stunned, looking from her parents to Qin Hao, and asked, "You know each other?"
Qin Hao, recalling their words, also rembered that they were the first custors of the roasted duck restaurant.
He explained to Xia Qing, "I t uncle and auntie once at the roasted duck restaurant."
Xia Qing nodded, her eyes filled with curiosity, "What's this disease about?"
Xia Yingjie hastily said, "Co sit down and talk, don't stand there. Let's discuss inside."
Qin Hao: "Uncle, Auntie, as it's my first visit, here's a small gift I bought."
Tian Rong: "You're still a student, what are you buying things for? Rember, next ti you co, don't bring anything, or your uncle will be upset."
A smile appeared on Qin Hao's face: "Okay, I'm a straightforward person, I'll listen to uncle."
"That's right, sit down. Xiaoqing, go pour so water," Xia Yingjie told his daughter.
Xia Qing, seeing her parents' attitude towards Qin Hao, felt a bit pleased and hurriedly got up to pour water for them.
Tian Rong stopped cooking and asked Qin Hao, "We still don't know your na. This girl Xiaoqing didn't even introduce you."
Qin Hao: "Uncle, Auntie, my na is Qin Hao, the Qin of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, and Hao as in the vast sky."
Qin Hao?
The na sounded sowhat familiar to them, but they didn't give it much thought.
Tian Rong's face was filled with smiles, "Then auntie will call you Xiao Hao. Can you have another look at your uncle's health?"
Qin Hao: "Sure thing, Auntie. I'll take a careful look at Uncle Xia."
He examined Xia Yingjie's eyes, complexion, asked him to open his mouth to look, and finally took his pulse.
Xia Qing placed the cups of water on the coffee table and sat down next to Qin Hao, curiously watching him take her father's pulse.
Qin Hao could only sense a faint fragrance wafting into his nostrils, causing a tickling sensation within him.
He dared not turn his head and continued to take Xia Yingjie's pulse.
Several minutes later, Qin Hao released his hand and said to Xia Yingjie, "Uncle Xia, have you been taking Cordyceps and Polygonum multiflorum supplents these past few days?"
Xia Yingjie's expression was one of surprise, "You could tell just from looking? Xiaoqing didn't tell you?"
Xia Qing quickly explained, "Dad, I've never told anyone, and besides, I don't even know what you've been taking."
Qin Hao: "Mr. Xia, although your heartbeat is strong, it's irregular, which is a clear symptom of over-supplentation. From the color of your tongue coating, is it evident that you have just been consuming Cordyceps and Polygonum multiflorum recently?"
Xia Yingjie and Tian Rong nodded, and Tian Rong continued to ask, "Xiao Hao, how is your uncle's illness?"
Qin Hao: "Mr. Xia must have been eating Jiangshan Roasted Duck every day, right? The illness is almost better now, as long as he stops taking those heavy supplents, he should be fine in about half a month."
...
Xia Yingjie said with a smile, "Thanks a lot, Xiao Hao. Who taught you dicine? You are so skilled!"
Qin Hao replied, "I enjoy reading so dical books in my spare ti, I taught myself."
"Self-taught? That skilled?" Xia Yingjie was a bit incredulous.
Tian Rong: "Xia, it's almost noon, co and help in the kitchen."
Xia Yingjie said to Qin Hao, "Xiao Hao, you can wait here for a while, your uncle is going to help out."
"Um, sure, Mr. Xia."
As Xia Yingjie and Tian Rong entered the kitchen, Xia Qing looked at him with her bright, sparkling eyes: "You also know dicine?"
Qin Hao: "Yeah, I've studied it on my own for a while."
"Studied it on your own for a while and you're this good? Geniuses really excel at whatever they do."
Qin Hao gave a wry laugh: "Are you mocking ?"
Xia Qing: "Not at all, you were the national college entrance examination top scorer. If I mocked you, wouldn't that be looking down on myself?"
...
Inside the kitchen
Tian Rong whispered to Xia Yingjie, "Xia, what does our daughter an by this?"
Xia Yingjie: "Xiaoqing must like him, right? Otherwise, why would she invite him over to our house as a guest?"
Tian Rong: "Xiao Hao seems alright, his dical skills are not bad, but this is our daughter's lifelong matter, we must be cautious."
Xia Yingjie nodded in agreent: "Our daughter got into Jianghai University, her future prospects are vast, and I don't even know which university Xiao Hao got into. If it's a good university, then it's okay."
Tian Rong was quite open-minded: "Such things are unclear. Since Xiaoqing invited him over, it indicates that she's interested in him. We just need to remind our daughter not to overstep the boundaries, I've never seen her act this way towards anyone before."
Xia Yingjie nodded: "Xiaoqing has grown up and has her own thoughts. We should respect her decisions, but also remind her what is appropriate and what is not."
As it was nearly twelve o'clock.
Xia Yingjie and Tian Rong brought the dishes to the dining table: "Xiaoqing, Xiao Hao, it's ti to eat."
"Got it, Mom." Xia Qing said with a smile as she stood up, then said to Qin Hao, "Co on, let's eat."
Both sat down at the dinner table, and Xia Yingjie and Tian Rong also took their seats, with the forr even bringing out a bottle of liquor: "Co on Xiao Hao, have a drink, this is genuine Wuliangye."
Qin Hao: "Mr. Xia, you better not drink, it's not good for your health."
Xia Yingjie: "An occasional drink is fine, it can even be beneficial for the body, you're a doctor, you must know that."
Qin Hao was left speechless, and Xia Yingjie filled his cup to the brim, about a two-liang cup.
Before they started eating, Xia Yingjie raised his cup: "Here, Xiao Hao, your uncle toasts you. I owe you for helping with my illness."
Qin Hao quickly raised his cup: "You're exaggerating, Mr. Xia. As Xiaoqing's father, it's only right for to help."
"Here's to it."
After saying this, Xia Yingjie drank all the liquor in his cup in one gulp.
