89 Full of Hur (1/2)

When Wang Yao arrived at home and his mother had cooked dinner, everyone in the family was waiting for him.

”Here you are. Take one small cup of the decoction within one and a half hours after dinner, and take the rest of the decoction tomorrow.” Wang Yao gave the white porcelain bottle to his sister.

”This is what you did on the hill just now!” said Wang Ru in surprise.

”Yes, take the decoction while it is still warm. Be careful with what you eat, try to avoid spicy, oily and cold food in the next few days,” said Wang Yao.

”Is this going to work?” asked Wang Ru.

Wang Yao thought his sister would be very appreciative and touched as he made the decoction specifically for her, but she was full of doubt instead. Wang Yao was upset.

”Haha, I was pulling your leg, Yao! Don't worry, I'll take it even it is poison!” Wang Ru patted her own chest and said.

Wang Yao was speechless when he heard the word poison. Although he didn't add any licorice roots in the decoction, the herbs he used to brew the decoction were of high quality. There may be mild side effects, but it was nowhere near poison.

”Don't worry, the decoction made by your brother is effective,” said Zhang Xiuying.

”Really? Has he made it for you before?” asked Wang Ru in surprise.

”Not for me. He made some for your Uncle Fengshou's wife, who had an upset stomach a few days ago. The hospital couldn't find anything wrong with her so your uncle came here to ask Yao to prescribe an herbal formula for her. It took effect just after one dose. They dropped by the other day to thank us!” said Zhang Xiuying proudly.

”Really? Since when was Yao so capable?” asked Wang Ru in surprise.

”You'll know after you try my decoction after dinner. For your peace of mind, it doesn't have any side effect,” said Wang Yao while eating.

Wang Ru didn't eat much due to her upset stomach. She really wanted to eat a lot as her mom cooked a full table of delicious dishes. Wang Yao also asked her not to overeat.

Wang Ru heated the decoction slightly and drank a small cup of it as instructed by Wang Yao one and a half hours after dinner.

The decoction was nice and warm. She could feel a warm current going from her throat to her belly and then it started to spread inside her body, as if she had a warm water bag on her belly. She felt very comfortable.

”Looks like it does have an effect on me!” said Wang Ru, who looked at Wang Yao in surprise.

”Of course!” said Wang Yao calmly.

It was a piece of cake for Wang Yao to make a decoction like this.

”You should become a doctor. Don't bother to grow herbs on the hill,” said Wang Ru.

”But I don't have a medical certificate,” said Wang Yao.

”Well, go and get one!” said Wang Ru.

”I'm considering it.”

Wang Yao looked at the light from his sister's eyes and started to doubt if he had made any mistakes when brewing the decoction. He thought he should add something to calm his sister the next time he made a decoction for her.

”Today is Little New Year, will you still go to Nanshan hill?” asked Wang Fenghua, who lit a cigarette after dinner.

”Yes,” said Wang Yao after some thinking.
