Chapter 82 One of the prescriptions for depression)

Lawrence didn't know why his old classmate valued the young Mr. Yan so much, but he didn't ask.

He was worried about the condition of his relatives: "Milton, Mr. Yan, my mother and my aunt, they both live in Milwaukee. But they don't interact with each other. The main reason is that my aunt doesn't like to deal with people, so she has no friends.

.Except for a few servants, she hardly talked to anyone. My aunt, how should I say, was in a deep depression for almost nine months. Everyone was worried about her."

Lawrence paused and then said: "Relatively speaking, my aunt likes me a little, but she doesn't accept that I go there too often. Once a year is the limit."

Only allowed to see her once a year? How much she dislikes seeing people. This lady is obviously mentally lonely, and mental loneliness is the root of all neuroses. Yan Zixiu thought to himself.

Lawrence continued to introduce the situation: "I'm quite worried about her. Some time ago, I happened to know that you were going to Milwaukee to give a speech, Milton, so I contacted you on the phone, hoping to ask for your help."

Milton asked: "Does your aunt live alone?"

"Yes. My aunt usually lives alone in her mansion. She has a housekeeper and a maid. The maid comes to the house every morning, mainly doing housework, cooking and washing dishes, etc., and does not leave until evening. The housekeeper is responsible for shopping

For daily necessities, sometimes a gardener will be hired to beautify the yard," Lawrence said.

It seems that there are three people living with her, but in fact they are all parallel to each other and have no intersection. Yan Zixiu analyzed in his heart.

Soon, the car came to an area with beautiful scenery and fresh air, and stopped in front of a mansion.

There is a wide lawn in front of the mansion and a parking lot.

Lawrence went and rang the doorbell.

A woman who looked like a housekeeper came and opened the door: "Ah, it turns out to be Mr. Lawrence."

"Rita, this is my classmate, Mr. Milton, the master of psychology. This is his friend, Dr. Yan Zixiu. You know why I'm here." Lawrence introduced.

"Yes. We are all concerned about the health of the master. Then please come with me." Rita, the housekeeper, said politely.

"I won't go, so that my aunt won't bother me." Lawrence shook his head and did not move.

"Okay, gentlemen, please follow me." Housekeeper Rita led the way.

They walked through the courtyard. The green plants in the courtyard were quite pleasing to the eye.

Under a flower stand, there was a woman about fifty years old sitting in a daze.

She heard someone coming and looked up.

Yan Zixiu saw that her eyes were quite big and her complexion was gray with a layer of gray-black air. She looked impatient.

"Master, this is Mr. Milton, Mr. Lawrence's classmate. This is Mr. Milton's friend, Dr. Yan Zixiu." Rita introduced.

Milton and Yan Zixiu nodded slightly: "Ms. Beth." They learned how to call Lawrence's aunt on the way.

Beth nodded indifferently, indicating that she understood.

Milton said: "Ms. Beth, I see that your house is very uniquely decorated. I wonder if you could give us a tour?"

Yan Zixiu knew that patients with depression have insufficient yang energy and cannot move even if they can.

As expected, Ms. Beth looked very reluctant.

But on the one hand, the guests were friends of her nephew Lawrence, and on the other hand, they also looked up to her and praised her for the uniqueness of her house.

The most important thing is that she knows that they are helping her treat her mental illness. When a distinguished guest comes to your door, you can't just let the housekeeper handle it.

So she reluctantly agreed, stood up and led Milton and Yan Zixiu around unhappily.

Rita followed behind.

In a glass sunroom, Milton and Yan Zixiu noticed three pots of African violets of different colors in full bloom.

This kind of flower is small and exquisite, colorful and very poetic. It is an internationally famous potted flower. Its flower language and symbolic meaning are: friendly and lush, eternal beauty, eternal beauty, tiny love, and endearing. You can use leaves for reproduction.

Insertion method.

Seeing that the guests noticed African violets, lazy Ms. Beth took the initiative to plant a violet leaf in an empty flower pot for the first time.

Milton's eyes lit up and he said to Ms. Beth: "I found a way to help you. All you have to do is do it."

Ms. Beth looked at Milton, but said nothing or objected.

He said to Rita: "I remember that there are about 13 different colors of violets. I hope you will buy a violet of other colors that you don't have at home yet. You can also buy 50 potted plants and some soil from the nursery.

.In addition, buy another 200 gift flower pots.”

Rita said: "I will do as you are told."

Milton said to Ms. Beth: "My method is: these flowers need your own hands to reproduce and maintain. Whenever someone gives birth to a child, you give the child a pot of mature African violets. In addition, whenever someone is sick,

Or when a girl announces her engagement, or when a couple gets married, you give a pot of violets. Every time there is a charity sale, you take out 10 to 20 pots of violets as charity items. In short, give a pot of violets at every appropriate opportunity.

Violet out."

When Milton said these words, Ms. Beth seemed to see those scenes. Someone was born, someone was sick, got engaged, got married. At that time, she sent a pot of violets that she had planted herself, and people greeted her with smiles.

Her eyes gradually became brighter: "Okay, Mr. Milton."

Yan Zixiu secretly confirmed in his heart that when he was at Xinzheng Airport, he asked Tian Yayun to look forward to the future. Isn't it the same? It can be seen that the wisdom of the East and the West is interlinked.

As Yang Qi lasts a lifetime, depression will disappear on its own.

Now that the prescription has been prescribed, Milton and Yan Zixiu are ready to say goodbye and leave.

Ms. Beth asked Housekeeper Rita to pay the consultation fee: "Thank you two gentlemen. I will send you there just a short distance away."

Lawrence saw Milton and Yan Zixiu coming out and heard that his aunt had made some positive changes. He was very happy and enthusiastically invited them to lunch.

On the way, Yan Zixiu talked about his understanding of Milton's prescription: "Mr. Milton, there is a Confucian sage in the East named Mencius. He said a saying, 'Happiness alone is not as good as happiness for everyone'. I think you give Beth

The prescription prescribed by the lady is very consistent with this concept. It allows the client to turn his own likes into everyone's joy. In this way, the spiritual isolation of patients with depression is opened. "

"It is better to enjoy it alone than to enjoy it together. Turn your own likes into everyone's joy." Milton repeated it refiningly, and couldn't help but applaud lightly, "Okay. Well said."

Milton added. "Yan, one more thing. African violets are very delicate plants. They can't survive if you don't pay attention. The light must be just right and the amount of watering must be just right. So I asked her to take care of about 200 plants."

The violet is equivalent to arranging a day's workload for her, so that she has no time to fall into depression. Because she is busy early in the morning every day, she will be busy until very late. "

Lawrence laughed and said: "You are all right. Her problem is partly loneliness, and partly just being free."
