185: Enviable friendship

"I never thought breast engorgement could be a disease. I really don't know what to say."

Liu Yan subconsciously looked down.

If she had a Little Girl in the future, would she also encounter this problem?

Qin Jiang said while drinking tea, "Her situation is actually relatively rare."

"Most people don't produce enough milk, and even if they have breast engorgement, their husbands usually help, and few are unwilling."

"It can only be said that her husband might have some psychological barrier he can't overcome."

Liu Yan understood what Qin Jiang was saying, and her pretty face immediately flushed.

After all, she had never been married, so she didn't know much about such things.

Just as the two were chatting, two men and two women walked in from outside.

This combination made Qin Jiang feel a bit strange.

Because the two men and two women were all quite young, and one pair of men and women were holding a child, could they be a family?

"Who is here for a consultation?"

Hearing Qin Jiang ask this, the woman in red smiled and said, "Let's treat the child first, the child is important."

The other couple smiled in thanks, then said to Qin Jiang, "Dr., please treat my son first."

After having them swipe their ID cards, Qin Jiang asked, "What is your relationship?"

The woman holding the child said, "The four of us were university classmates, and our relationship has always been very good."

"We saw your live stream online and thought your medical skills were excellent, so we wanted to come and see you for a consultation."

When the woman said this, Qin Jiang let out an "Oh," indicating understanding.

All four were university classmates, and after graduation, they all kept in touch and each started their own families.

This kind of bond is probably something many people never encounter in their lifetime.

Netizens in the live stream were also envious.

"What kind of divine friendship is this? This is too enviable."

"I used to have a few good friends in high school, the kind of close Buddy, but later, I don't know what happened, we just suddenly lost touch."

"Isn't there a song that goes like that? Many old friends ultimately don't become lifelong companions, not because of any animosity, but just slowly lose touch."

"With such a good relationship, don't they get to reminisce about their university days every time they gather for a meal? This is fantastic!"

Qin Jiang also felt that the relationship between these four was very rare.

If their feelings weren't genuinely good, they wouldn't have made an appointment to see a Dr. together.

After all, seeing a Dr. is a relatively private matter.

The fact that they could make an appointment to see a Dr. together showed that their friendship was already quite deep.

The couple with the child, the man was named Huang Shao, and he worked at a winery.

The woman was named Ding Fang, and she was a cosmetics salesperson.

Although their jobs weren't particularly high-end, their combined income was quite good.

So they got married early and had a child, whose name was Huang Xing.

The other couple, the man was named Meng Fan, and the woman was named Gao Man.

They were both highly educated intellectuals, married relatively late, and were still newlywed.

After having Ding Fang remove the blanket wrapped around the child, Qin Jiang took one look and immediately put on gloves and a mask.

Seeing Qin Jiang do this, all four of them were a bit confused.

"Dr., what are you..."

Qin Jiang said calmly, "Didn't you see that this child's skin has many red blisters?"

"These are shingles, and they are somewhat contagious."

Hearing Qin Jiang say this, Huang Shao and Ding Fang immediately looked a bit embarrassed.

"So, should we also wear masks or something?"

Qin Jiang explained, "You didn't know before, did you? Now that you know, you do indeed need to wear them."

"Come, let the child open his mouth, I'll check his oral cavity."

With Ding Fang's help, Qin Jiang examined the child's entire body.

"Preliminary diagnosis is hand-foot-and-mouth disease. There are obvious shingles on his hands, mouth, and feet."

"This disease is highly contagious, but generally speaking, it only infects Little Girl, or adults with relatively low immunity."

"He needs further examination here, so you'll have to wait outside for a bit."

Huang Shao and Ding Fang nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, Dr. Qin, we are willing to wait, as long as my son's illness can be cured."

Qin Jiang made a gesture, signaling Ding Fang to hand the child to him. Then, he carried him into the pharmacy for further examination.

As soon as Qin Jiang left with the child, Huang Shao and Ding Fang started blaming each other.

Huang Shao said discontentedly, "I knew we shouldn't have signed up for that baby swimming class. Where is the water outside as clean as the water at home?"

"And there are so many Little Girl outside, no one knows if they have any illnesses. Maybe our son's illness was transmitted by other children."

Hearing Huang Shao say this, Ding Fang immediately became unhappy.

"What's wrong with signing up for a swimming class? This is to help him get familiar with water in advance, cultivate his water skills, and teach him a self-preservation skill."

"That way, when he grows up, he'll learn to swim faster and more smoothly."

Huang Shao still didn't understand.

"Wife, if we lived in a coastal city, I could understand you sending our son to that swimming class, but we live in an inland city."

"There's no sea around here at all, so why learn to swim?"

"Short-sighted."

Ding Fang rolled her eyes at Huang Shao.

"Even if there's no sea near us, aren't there lakes? Aren't there rivers?"

"Do you know how many people drown in our area every year? Anyway, I don't want anything to happen to my son, he must learn this life-saving skill."

Seeing the couple arguing over such a small matter, the netizens in the live stream were a bit confused.

"I thought their relationship was very good, but now it doesn't seem to be the case?"

"You're wrong about that. It's normal for couples to bicker daily. This has nothing to do with whether their relationship is good or not."

"That's true. I also often argue with my wife over small things. Now, the two of us can't even communicate properly anymore."

"But I think the man isn't wrong either. The child is still so small, he can't even speak, sending him to learn to swim so early seems a bit too soon, what can he even learn?"

"Many parents nowadays have this kind of educational anxiety. It's very normal. One can only say to be understanding of each other, after all, it's all for the child's good."

Soon, Qin Jiang walked out of the pharmacy with the child, holding a medical report in his hand.

"It's confirmed, it's hand-foot-and-mouth disease. This disease is relatively easy to treat, I'll just prescribe some medicine for him."

"During the treatment period, you need to pay attention to disinfecting and sanitizing your home, and also feed him things that boost his immunity to speed up his recovery."
