"Oh my God!" Zhang's mother exclaimed in surprise.

"Good boy!" Zhang Fusheng also exclaimed.

"Ancestors bless, ancestors bless!" Zhang's mother clasped her hands together and bowed to the sky.

In the eyes of ordinary people, there is really no other reason why such a big child can be born smoothly except for the blessing of the ancestors.

In a normal birth, if the fetus weighs more than seven pounds, the birth will be much more painful.

If it weighs more than eight kilograms, it is basically the same degree of dystocia as transverse and inverse positions. Without a skilled mother-in-law, it is basically one dead and two lives. If you are good, you can save the big one or the small one.

It’s not that ancient medical skills are incompetent, it’s actually the limitations of ancient conditions in various aspects.

How many famous doctors can there be?

How many families can afford a doctor?

Some people ask, if Chinese medicine is so great, why was the average life expectancy so low in ancient times?

This is really not the responsibility of Chinese medicine.

Traditional Chinese medicine can treat diseases and save people, but it cannot change the current social situation. They are also a vulnerable group facing those in power or the powerful gentry.

"Where is Meimei? How is Meimei?" Mother Zhang muttered for a while and then began to care about her daughter-in-law.

After all, Mrs. Zhang is a kind-hearted person.

"Tong Mei is fine, she was already asleep when I came out." Zhang Yan replied with a smile.

"If you're not staying with your wife inside, why are you coming out?" Zhang Fusheng scolded Zhang Yan dissatisfied.

"I'm going to make a medicinal soup for Tong Mei. It will be better to drink when she wakes up." Zhang Yan replied with a smile.

Zhang Fusheng is quite concerned about his daughter-in-law and grandson, and can be called a qualified husband and grandfather.

"Then go ahead!" Hearing that he was making soup for his daughter-in-law, Zhang Fusheng waved his hand and said.

Tong Mei is now postpartum and suffers from both Qi and blood deficiency and blood stasis. These are the symptoms that most women will experience after giving birth.

It's just that some have weak Qi and blood, while others have Qi stagnation and blood stasis.

Tong Mei, on the other hand, has symptoms of Qi and blood weakness as well as Qi stagnation and blood stasis.

This is also because the baby is too big, which leads to excessive bleeding during delivery.

Medicinal diet during lactation should not only consider the mother's constitution, but also the baby's constitution and tolerance.

Because part of the medicated food taken by the mother will turn into milk and be absorbed by the baby.

Therefore, medicated diet during lactation requires special attention.

Zhang Yan was worried about letting others do it for him, so he planned to cook the medicinal food himself.

Fortunately, this is Xicheng Hospital, where all kinds of medicinal materials are available, and there is a small canteen for him to use as he wishes.

By the time Zhang Yan had cooked the medicinal meal, Tong Mei had already returned to the ward.

Zhang Yan came directly to the ward with the medicinal diet.

Zhang Fusheng was squatting in the corridor outside, smoking a pipe.

In this era, in later generations, nurses would have come to drive people away.

"Has the medicinal meal been cooked?" Zhang Fusheng asked when he saw Zhang Yan.

"It's cooked! Why don't you go in?" Zhang Yan asked with a smile.

"I'm going to take two puffs of cigarette outside. Don't smoke the child inside." Zhang Fusheng took another puff, and then remembered Zhang Yan's naming of the child, and angrily scolded: "What name did you give your child? How can you?"

Called Qi Er? Such a weird name. Do you want my grandson to be laughed at for the rest of his life?

Also, I’m still here! When will it be your turn to choose a name?”

"..." Zhang Yan looked at the angry Zhang Fusheng, "Good guy, this is for Sun Xiong."

Zhang Fusheng didn't give Zhang Yan a chance to speak, and directly told Zhang Yan in an informing tone: "I have already chosen a name for the child. From now on, the child's nickname will be Zhuangzhuang!

A child weighing only nine pounds is called a strong boy, and he is worthy of his name!"

"Okay, if you want to call me Zhuangzhuang, just call me Zhuangzhuang!" Zhang Yan agreed with a smile.

In fact, the so-called "Qi Er" was originally said by Zhang Yan casually and should not be taken seriously.

"That's pretty much it! Have you decided on the child's name?"

"The child was born in the year of Wuxu, in the month of Bingchen, on the day of Jiayin. He has the fate of fire and earth, and he was born at noon, when the yang energy is at its strongest. It can be said that there is a lack of water in his life.

So, call me Zhang Fan!

The five elements of "Fan" belong to water, which can be regarded as replenishing the water that is lacking in life."

Zhang Yan had already chosen the name of his son. As a student of traditional Chinese medicine, he would naturally also study the Eight Trigrams of the Book of Changes, so Zhang Yan had already calculated the name for his son.

"Yeah! Zhang Fan, Zhang Tongfan, that's a good name!" Zhang Fusheng nodded with satisfaction.

As for the Wuxu years, Bingchen months, and Jiayin days that Zhang Yan mentioned, he didn't understand, but they sounded awesome. The name Zhang Fan also sounded good, so Zhang Fusheng agreed.

.

Zhang Yan did not continue chatting with Zhang Fusheng, and Tong Mei was still waiting for the medicinal meal he cooked.

Open the door and walk into the ward.

"Are you back? Our father is still outside?" Tong Mei asked in a low voice.

"Why did you come back? I didn't know that Meimei had just given birth and needed to supplement her nutrition." Zhang's mother scolded softly.

Zhang Yan was speechless. Now that he had a grandson, his son was forgotten and his family status was reduced by one.

He had been busy since the morning and had only drank some tea in the clinic, but he hadn't eaten anything yet.

"Cooking medicinal food requires heat. I've finished cooking it, so I'll hurry up and come here.

Eat it while it's hot!" Zhang Yan quickly handed the large enamel jar to Tong Mei.

Then, like magic, he took out a spoon and handed it to Tong Mei.

"This is authentic volcanic millet. It has been boiled for nearly an hour. It contains jujube, angelica and other medicinal materials, which can replenish qi and blood.

Drink it while it’s hot!”

Tong Mei took the large enamel jar and drank slowly.

As the medicinal porridge was taken down, a trace of blood gradually appeared on Tong Mei's pale face.

This is the reaction that occurs after Qi and blood are replenished.

Some people may say that the effects of traditional Chinese medicine are so fast?

In fact, symptomatic Chinese medicine is so quick.

Youdao can be seen by covering the bowl.

That is, you can see the effect of the medicine as soon as you put down the bowl after drinking it.

The idea that Chinese medicine is good, but the effects are too slow, and that it can treat chronic diseases but cannot cure rapid diseases is a complete lack of understanding of Chinese medicine.

This is also what Zhang Yan emphasized before. If no effect is seen in three days, up to seven days, the dressing must be changed decisively.

If no effect is seen in three days, it means that the medicine is not very symptomatic. If no effect is seen in seven days, it means that the diagnosis is wrong and it is not symptomatic at all.

"I can't drink, you drink!" Tong Mei drank half of the drink and handed the enamel jar to Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan didn't show any politeness and drank all the remaining medicinal food directly, taking a comfortable hit.

At this moment, the son started crying.

After checking, there was no urine, so she was hungry. Tong Mei took the baby, untied her arms and started breastfeeding, but after feeding for a while, the baby still kept crying.

Can't suck milk out.

"Zhang Yan, I haven't given birth yet, what should I do?" Tong Mei looked at Zhang Yan anxiously and said.

Mother Zhang was busy making milk powder for her grandson.
