I'm almost 45 and the system is just coming

Chapter 34 Mother's Tears

"Practice Tai Chi? No, no."

My mother shook her head repeatedly: "We are old and weak, but we are practicing Tai Chi. Aren't you afraid that your mother will be ruined?"

Zhang Yingchun is well aware of her own body. If she were to do square dance, it might be okay, but if she were to practice Tai Chi, it would be a big challenge for her body.

"Mom! If you want to get better, you must practice Tai Chi with me, and take your medicine on time. I'll give you a massage first! It can relax your body joints! I'll buy medicine in the evening!"

Having said that, without caring whether my mother agreed or not, he asked my mother to lie down and started massaging.

Since his mother's condition was similar to his wife's, Zhou Tian started pressing the acupoints with ease. In a short while, he saw his mother fell asleep comfortably.

Half an hour later, Zhou Tian got up and walked out of the room carefully, put on his clothes, left home, left the community, and went to the pharmacy outside.

Most of the pharmacies in Wenying Lake are Western medicine pharmacies. After searching for a long time, he finally found a Chinese medicine pharmacy in front of the vegetable market.

The medicinal materials were all Chinese herbal medicines that could promote blood circulation and were not expensive. After packing the herbs, he returned home, only to find that his mother had woken up.

With a slightly flushed face, she looked at him happily.

"Xiaotian, my legs feel much better now after your massage just now, and the pain has been relieved a lot!"

Originally, she didn't believe how advanced her son's Chinese medicine skills were, but after her son's massage, she felt as if her body had come back to life, and now she couldn't help but start to look forward to it.

She hoped that her son could really cure her illness. You know, she had tried everything to treat her lumbar disease, including massage, Chinese medicine, and Western medicine, and had consulted a bunch of famous doctors, but there was still no way. She had been desperate, but she didn't expect that her son could alleviate her condition a lot.

"Mom, don't worry! As long as you follow your son's instructions, you will recover soon!"

Zhou Tian said, shaking the herbs in his hand: "With these herbs, your illness will heal faster!"

Although Zhou Tian’s current Chinese medicine skills are only an ability of the protagonist in his book, compared with Chinese martial arts, his Chinese medicine skills have only reached the master level.

But even so, in today's society, he is enough to kill most of the masters of traditional Chinese medicine in seconds, and he actually has faster treatment methods. But he knows one thing more, that is, when doing anything, he must leave room for himself.

Acupuncture would definitely be more effective, but he didn't dare. If it was an outsider, he might not care, but he felt a little guilty about giving acupuncture to his parents.

"Really? That's good! How do I make this medicine?"

After taking the herbs from Zhou Tian's hand, Zhang Yingchun was slightly stunned and couldn't help asking.

"Mom, this is a course of treatment. You only need to endure one tenth of the pain each time."

As Zhou Tian spoke, he and his mother went to the kitchen, used a small ceramic pot, mixed the herbs according to the proportions, and then began to boil them.

The temperature of the fire does not need to be high, but rather warm. According to his estimation, it will take about thirty minutes to cook it.

Zhou Tian explained while showing it to his mother.

"Since the medicinal properties of some of these herbs are not strong, in order to fully exert their medicinal properties, different temperatures are needed to blend their medicinal properties, which tests a person's control over temperature."

"The medicinal materials in the pharmacy are basically only one-third of the efficacy of wild medicinal materials, so I added a few more medicinal materials to the prescription, which can maximize the effect of the herbs." "Mom. If you boil it in the future, you must be careful not to put out the fire too early or too late. This will greatly damage the medicinal properties of the medicinal materials. If you do it too early, the medicinal materials may become poison. Remember, if you can't control it, I will boil the medicine in the future, and you must not interfere!"

Although he explained, Zhou Tian was still worried and spoke directly.

"Okay! You underestimated your mother! It's not like I haven't boiled medicine before, don't worry!"

Zhang Yingchun said somewhat dissatisfiedly that although she could not become a doctor due to her long-term illness, she felt that she could still do the job of decocting medicine.

Half an hour later, a strong bitter smell instantly filled the entire kitchen.

Zhou Tian felt the temperature changes and smelled the scent of the simmering herbs. He turned off the fire only when he felt the changes in the herbs had met his requirements.

He took out a bowl from the cupboard, then wrapped the ceramic pot lid with a wet towel, lifted the ceramic pot, and poured out the boiled black potion from the opening of the pot.

He didn't put it back on the gas stove until he had poured a full bowl.

Then he dipped a drop with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and tried it. Feeling the taste on the tip of his tongue, he nodded slightly.

"Okay! Mom, just drink the medicine. It should take some effect by evening!"

Zhou Tian said as he placed the bowl on the dining table.

Hearing this, the mother nodded, looked at the herbs on the table, then looked at her son, and tears flashed in her eyes.

An indescribable feeling arises spontaneously.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Zhou Tian suddenly noticed his mother's abnormality and asked with concern.

"Nothing, I'm just happy!"

My mother said in a low voice and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Okay, Mom, I know what you're thinking. Isn't it a son's job to take care of you? Besides, your son has no future, so it's enough for him to just stay with you and Dad!"

He knew that his mother must have been touched by the fact that he boiled medicine for her, but in Zhou Tian's heart, this was the first step he wanted to take to change.

To be honest, Zhou Tian sometimes complained about his parents. After all, he had thought about going out to explore the world when he was young, but because his sister was restless, she left home before he was ready to go out.

He was actually a little resentful at the time, but every time he saw his mother crying and missing her sister, his desire to go out and explore the world sank.

Because he knew that from childhood to adulthood, his parents had basically given all their love to him, although every time he did not study well, he would feel his mother's painful love.

But he had a big heart and never felt jealous.

Later, when he got married and started a family, he understood even more how difficult it was for his parents. People often say that raising children is a way to provide for your old age. If he really died, the blow to his parents might be beyond his imagination.
