I'm not confident in treating acute abdomen.
It'll be troublesome if it festers and perforates.
I'll take you to the hospital.
Three hours.
Night traveling and perforation are both risky.
Tian Zhen.
You prescribe medicine.
I'll eat.
Boss, do you have a needle?
I'll get acupuncture treatment first.
I have.
Do you know how to do it?
I know.
Prescribe the medicine.
This...
He is a TCM practitioner.
A very good one.
You can trust him.
He's so young. He doesn't look like one.
It has been running in his family for 14 generations.
His father is Ren Xin Zheng.
He is studying for a Ph.D. at University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
This...
You're Ren Xin Zheng's son?
Yes.
Your dad's book is very famous.
What's its name?
"Understanding of TCM", right?
Yes.
We have one at home.
Later, please sign the book for me.
-Okay. -Old He.
Hurry up! Grab the medicine and cook it!
-Okay, okay. -He's really great!
Girl. Go knock on Uncle Niu's door.
Tell him that his illness can be treated.
We have a great doctor here!
Alright, I'll go now.
Tou Tou.
I've never given this prescription to anyone before.
Its dose is too strong.
Let's go to the hospital.
I'm not going to the hospital.
I trust you.
Tou Tou.
Do you feel better after getting acupuncture?
I feel like you can make it to the hospital.
I'll go and drive the car over.
Don't drink this medicine.
What happened?
It's bitter.
The after-taste is strong.
Let me tell you.
If you become a great doctor in the future,
don't you forget about me.
I'm the first one who tried your medicine.
I tried it with my life.
Understand?
This is very important.
Sun Tou Tou.
Tou Tou, what's wrong with you?
Tou Tou!
Tou Tou, don't scare me!
Tou Tou, wake up.
Tou Tou! Tou Tou!
Tou Tou, don't scare me!
Tou Tou, what's the situation now?
Why are you messing around?
I didn't.
I just think that the atmosphere is tense.
I just want it to be exciting.
I do not like this.
How do you feel now?
Panic.
Why are you panicking?
I...
I'm afraid I'd die before inheriting the sect.
No, no.
Let's go to the hospital now, okay?
No, listen to me.
If I die...
I say, if...
You must take over as the inheritor.
And bury me next to my great-grandma.
Then, carved this on the tomb.
"Sacrifice by testing medicine
for a great doctor."
Understand?
I won't.
I will bury you in the graveyard at my house.
And carved this on the tomb.
"Ma'am, you should take your medicine."
No.
Why am I buried in the graveyard in your house?
Is it appropriate?
Your life is mine.
Whether you are alive or dead,
you are mine.
What's wrong?
What's the matter, Tou Tou?
Stomach?
Don't close the door.
What's wrong?
I'm afraid you'll fall into the pit.
I'm a doctor and I'm responsible for you.
In case you faint, I'll catch you.
Don't you think it stinks?
If it smells good, that'd be a problem.
I'll leave a gap then.
Okay.
Have you
figured it out?
This...
About what?
Be mine.
What do you mean?
No one has ever profess his love to you before?
Profess your love?
I really haven't seen
someone professes love during defecating.
Well, think about it then.
Do you want Uncle Niu to come now
and let Mr. Ren have a look?
No, no.
This is not the time.
We'll do it tomorrow.
Tomorrow? Isn't he leaving tomorrow?
He can't leave now.
The two of them are professing their love in the toilet.
Dating in the toilet?
That's right.
-No. -What's wrong?
You're easily impressed.
I really don't understand about today's young people.
Don't you like Meng Meng?
You were dying for her before.
Why did you...
This...
This... Me...
She is just a patient.
A younger sister to me.
But it shouldn't be me.
What do you like about me?
What are you trying to get from me?
I eat a lot.
I love to fight.
I don't have a father or mother.
Then...
I like everything about you.
I like that you can cook for me
and protect me.
And you don't have Mr. Right yet.
You're out of your mind.
You are.
Well, it's not that I'm out of my mind.
Everything has come to light now.
I've been holding this back for a long time in my heart.
I thought
I would never be able to say it in my life.
Why did you still say it?
That's because when I didn't believe in myself,
you were willing to trust me with your life.
I have no choice but to give my heart to you.
Goethe said this before.
"I love you, but it has nothing to do with you."
You can don't like me
if that's how you feel.
But don't tell me about it.
The thing is,
is it ethically appropriate?
Based on our seniority,
I am your grandma.
You are my grandson.
If we...
If I'm your girlfriend...
It's appropriate.
Why is it inappropriate?
There's a very practical issue.
Your mom can't even accept Meng Meng.
Would she accept me?
I'm the one dating, not her.
Don't bother her.
Well, can we
not tell her about this?
Can we not tell her?
Cough,
poor,
and love can't be hidden.
Well, we're classmates and fellow friends then.
So, you're
rejecting me?
I want to stand upright by your side.
Just wait until I become the inheritor.
You can also introduce me openly
to your family
and friends.
By that time,
it would be better.
Okay.
I promise you.
It's so late now.
Tou Tou didn't even call us.
We couldn't contact both of them.
That means they're together.
Tou Tou isn't afraid of anything.
If Tian Zhen is with her,
there shouldn't be a problem.
No news is good news.
What's the matter, Tou Tou?
Does it still hurt?
How does it feel compared to just now?
It hurts more than before.
This...
Let's go to the ER. It's very dangerous.
No need for that.
I know how things stand.
How about this?
I'll call my dad.
Lie down and wait for me.
Who is it?
I don't know.
Take the call.
Hello.
Hello, Dad. Please save Tou Tou.
Speak slowly. What happened to Tou Tou?
She has sudden abdominal pain.
Her tongue is in red, coated in yellow.
She has a string-like, rapid pulse.
I think it may be appendicitis.
(And, I'm afraid it has festered and perforated.)
Have you done acupuncture on her?
Yes. And she had taken the medicine.
What medicine did you prescribe?
(Rhubarb, 30g.)
Rhubarb, 30g.
-(Tree peony bark, 12g.) -Tree peony bark, 12g.
(Peach kernel.) (Ten grams.)
Peach kernel, 10g.
(Winter melon seeds, 20g.)
Winter melon seeds, 20g.
(Tian Zhen.)
(Your rhubarb and peony prescription is not bad. )
But you used a lot of rhubarb.
Why is that?
She is an the emergency!
I think it's necessary to use a stronger dose for emergency cases.
-That's why I... -This is not medical science.
The most important thing in TCM treatment
is based on syndrome differentiation!
How could you add or reduce the dose without differentiating the syndrome?
(Take her to the ER now. The sooner the better)
Okay, I'll do it right away.
Tou Tou, what are you doing?
Tian Zhen...
I'm not going to the hospital.
I've told you, I know where it stands.
You don't even listen to my dad now?
Let's go now. I don't know where it stands now.
I've told you, I'm not going!
What am I going to do with my life
if something happens to you? Let's go!
I really don't want to go!
Just believe in yourself, Ren Tian Zhen!
If you're going to do this again, just go outside!
Just wait outside!
What happened to Tian Zhen? Where are they?
What's wrong with Tou Tou?
Your son is fine.
I...
What about Tou Tou?
Is Tian Zhen back?
Mrs. Song.
I'm looking for my master.
He's looking for you.
Acute abdomen?
Yes.
Has it festered?
I have no idea.
Why use such a strong dose then?
Who prescribed this?
Tian Zhen.
Who is the patient?
Sun Tou Tou.
Tou Tou?
Then this prescription will work.
"Overkill to right a wrong."
For Tou Tou, this prescription
is just nice.
Go and sleep without worries.
Thank you, Master.
Tian Zhen.
Let's go.
Let's go to the hospital now.
Bring that medicine over.
Do you still want to drink it?
Just bring it over.
No!
I think before we start dating,
we should set some rules.
If we don't set the rules, we can't be good.
What rules?
For major matters, listen to me.
For minor matters, listen to you.
What is considered a major or minor matter then?
I'll make the call on the standards of it.
Like this situation now,
a matter of life and death,
it's a major matter, right?
Listen to me, okay?
Go get the medicine.
No.
What if you're dead after taking the medicine?
If I'm dead after taking the medicine,
then congratulations.
This is your shortest-term girlfriend.
Go now.
Please come in.
I'm sorry.
Sorry for troubling you.
-You tell them. -Okay.
I think you should tell them.
It's okay, just say it.
Well, it's like this.
There is an Uncle Niu in the town.
He has psoriasis.
He has been treated for decades, but he hasn't recovered.
The thing is, he feels itchy at night that he can't sleep at all.
-Am I right? -Yes.
We've persuaded him
and asked him not to come now.
-But he has come and will never leave. -That's right.
So, we have to trouble you to go and check him.
Please check him.
Actually, it's like this.
Psoriasis is a chronic disease.
It may take a while to treat him.
But Tou Tou and I won't stay here for long.
Well, it's not easy to treat psoriasis.
But you can treat insomnia.
Alright, I'll go with you.
-Okay. -Auntie.
Please get the medicine for Tou Tou.
Okay.
Alright.
Sleep early.
You can't sleep either, right?
Are you worried about your son?
Look. He treated a patient.
But that has scared me.
That almost took half of my life.
I felt tenser
than I treat patients on my own.
Raising a son
is no fun.
That's right.
You're heartless.
How could you still sleep?
He is considered good.
He knew
he should use rhubarb and tree peony bark.
It's just that the doses were slightly higher.
Can the tiny Tou Tou
bear it?
She can bear it.
You are so confident.
If she can't bear it,
she can't be the inheritor.
Tou Tou has a tough life.
Since she was young,
she has gone through many ups and downs.
It's a lot more than Tian Zhen.
"Heaven sent a big responsibility to a man."
This difficulty from Tian Zhen doesn't matter.
Think about this.
Back then, to test Emperor Shun, Emperor Yao
put him in the forest
to wrestle with the beasts.
Compared to this,
Tou Tou's tests are nothing.
That's why you think Tou Tou will be fine?
What reasoning is that?
And you're a TCM practitioner.
Back then, to test Emperor Shun,
Emperor Yao
even married off his two daughters to him.
Why didn't you mention the sweet part as well?
Well, I don't have two daughters.
I only have a grandson.
You,
me
and
Ling Lan, and Xin Zheng.
We practice medicine all our lives and abide by medical ethics.
Just this fact alone,
our descendants will be good.
Don't worry.
Go to sleep.
I can't sleep.
Good morning, Auntie.
Good morning.
How is she?
I saw her go to the toilet many times last night.
How is she now?
Auntie, she was fine after that.
I think she should be fine.
If one survives a catastrophe, she is bound to have great fortune later on.
With a boyfriend like you,
no matter what happens, God will avoid her.
Don't be shy.
I've been there.
The look in your eyes when you carried her here,
I understood everything when I saw it.
Auntie, is it so obvious?
Do you need my help?
No, no.
I don't need your help here.
You'll be busy later.
Later?
What am I busy with?
Well, she still needs to take medicine for a few days.
You definitely won't be able to leave for the time being.
Look.
Can you please treat all the sick people in this town?
Auntie, I'm worried that my medical skills are not good enough.
No problem.
You're good.
I went to buy groceries just now.
When I passed by Uncle Niu's house,
I heard his loud snoring sound.
I think all his neighbors could hear.
As long as it's effective.
Auntie, I'm alone and I'm inexperienced.
You can.
Auntie.
He can do it.
Yes.
Auntie, let me tell you.
He is a great doctor.
It's a great bargain that you found him.
That's right.
This is great.
We finally got a doctor to help us
with the consultation from the first-tier city.
Our pharmacy will be famous too.
It's like it's consecrated.
You're too kind.
Doctor.
How much is your consultation fee?
It's a free consultation.
No money is required.
-A free consultation? -That's right.
A free consultation?
That's great.
I'll tell Old He about this.
-Slow down! -Slow down!
Tou Tou.
A free consultation?
A free consultation.
We'll do it together then.
Take this.
Listen to me.
It's not easy to invite the great doctor here.
He hasn't had breakfast yet.
He'll treat everyone after breakfast, okay?
We'll do this according to the number.
Everyone will get a number.
We'll call the number and see the doctor, okay?
Come and get the number.
Uncle He!
Tao Zi, come here.
Come here, quick!
Come here. I'll give you a number.
Go and bring your grandma over.
She'll see a doctor to treat her rheumatism with this number.
How much does it cost to see a doctor?
No money is needed.
This is a free consultation.
My grandma isn't willing to spend money on medical treatment.
I'll bear it.
Come on, let me tell you. Look.
The doctor brought it from the city.
It's a black sesame ball. Try it.
It's delicious and healthy.
It smells good.
It's molten sesame filling!
Uncle He, you must keep your word.
I'm going to ask my grandma to come over.
Go now.
Go.
-Aunt Zhang, here you go. -Hello.
-Distribute this to everyone. -Okay.
Come and get this.
Hold it.
Line up.
This is very good for the body.
After the doctor checks you,
only us...
Whoever needs or wants it,
you can buy some and eat it for your health.
This is just like a general hospital.
There are so many of them.
Girl, doctor.
Come and eat.
You should eat more today.
Whoever needs or wants it,
you can buy some and eat it for your health.
Am I right?
Let's go and eat.
Tell me. Why Tian Zhen and Tou Tou
aren't home yet?
The two of them are doing good deeds now.
What good deed?
Tou Tou called me just now.
She said she hasn't fully recovered yet.
She still needs to rest for a few days.
It just so happens that
Tian Zhen will provide a free consultation.
They said that in the village,
the queue line is very long.
There are all kinds of diseases.
Right now, when your son
goes to the washroom,
he needs to finish it in seconds.
Don't underestimate people at the countryside.
They have many kinds of diseases and a history of that.
It's not easy to treat them.
Don't worry.
If he encounters any problems,
he will call and ask us.
How about
we go there too?
We might as well
provide free consultation on a big scale.
Just believe in your son.
He is launching his career now.
We must trust him.
Did you
eat anything delicious today?
You've never trusted him.
We should ask Tian Zhen
to write down all prescriptions
and send them all back for us to have a look.
When you first checked a patient,
was your dad with you?
No.
Well, this is what your dad said.
"Distrust of children
is a curse on children."
Trust that our son
will surpass us in the future.
You two are chit-chatting.
Shan Dao.
Your lecture is in Room 203.
Let me take you there.
I know. Don't rush about it.
I just came over to say hello
and give him a card.
What card?
From the alumni association.
Don't we have a gathering every year?
This is strange.
He has never praised his son but he just did it.
He has never joined the reunion class
but he's going now.
And pigs might fly.
Is there anything?
Nothing, nothing.
Continue with your talk.
I'm going to the class now.
I'm going now.
The class reunion... Almost thirty years.
Little Lark is going too.
I'm attending Shan Dao's class.
Ms. Song.
Mr. Ren asked me to invite you
to Prof. Wu's class.
I'm ordering lunch.
Yesterday, didn't you ask me to order
a stomach-nourishing soup for Mr. Ren?
What soup nourishes the stomach?
There are papaya chicken soup
and keel...
Ms. Song.
What's with her?
I don't know.
Did Prof. Ren make her angry?
Should I order this stomach-nourishing soup?
Of course, order it.
She ignored me.
It's alright.
She will forget after a while.
I've never seen anyone who loves her husband more than her.
What else?
Who ordered sesame paste?
Order one for me too.
I ordered it for you.
Didn't you say you like it?
I saw it, so I ordered it for you.
Thank you.
There's no class tomorrow afternoon, right?
How about coming to my house?
The model you made with Le Le hasn't been completed, right?
He keeps asking me
when will that uncle who doesn't talk come.
So, we've decided.
Have dinner at our house.
I should talk more.
You're home.
Gosh, it's so sumptuous.
Do you have good news?
Yes, there is something to celebrate.
Really?
What a coincidence.
I have good news to share with you too.
Really?
It's double happiness then!
Go wash your hands and eat.
Cut.
Cut, cut.
Cut.
What are you doing?
Got into a fight with Xin Zheng again?
Who is Xin Zheng? I don't know him.
Don't get mad at my flowers.
You...
It's mine.
It's all mine!
Let me tell you.
Sulking will block the mammary gland.
Mom.
Tell me. Are men
children who will never grow?
You put your heart and soul into them,
but they would never appreciate it.
Stop it, stop it.
You make me dizzy.
Are you talking about the old or young one?
Both are the same.
Let's talk about the young one.
He's like doesn't have a family.
He's not like Tou Tou
who would call and tell us that she was fine.
Look at him.
It's been days
but he didn't call us at all.
That old...
Let's not talk about the old one.
I...
I don't even want to talk about it.
Well, you're like a young girl.
It's okay to say that to me.
If you tell your dad that,
he'll say that you...
Have improper thoughts.
Well,
whether it's the husband or the son,
including this house and plants,
in the end, it won't be yours alone.
Since this is the case,
why must you make them live according to your wishes?
Mom.
How did you spend your lifetime with Dad?
I've spent half my life with Xin Zheng.
But I feel that
I still can't understand his mind.
A lifetime is so long.
Why do you want to understand his mind?
He is by your side.
That's the best thing.
Let me tell you.
A marriage
is actually paddling a tandem paddle board.
You must find someone
who rows in the same direction as you,
not someone holding you back.
I think Xin Zheng is very good.
You two have common topics to talk about
and have careers together, right?
You two are a couple for life.
But why do I feel like
I'm on the paddle board by myself
while he is on the shore.
He didn't board at all.
Well, who was it then
that cried so hard and said wanted to marry him?
It was me.
Well, I think
what really touched me was
his belief in traditional Chinese medicine.
You know what?
At that time, I firmly believed that
he needs a good wife like me.
That's it.
Let's not say something great.
Don't you like him at all?
Back then, so many people liked you.
Even Wu Shan Dao
brought you to smell the flowers
and see the spring cherry.
He was busy all around
for one whole year but it was fruitless,
because you don't love him, am I right?
That's right.
Xin Zheng is firm and unwavering.
He's not like Wu Shan Dao
who was cunning.
Well, I think
it was Xin Zheng who didn't take a closer look at you.
When he reached our house,
he went straight to his master's study.
I wonder who was it that
sent an apple
and then a cup of tea to the study.
I didn't.
I...
I was being a good daughter to my dad.
So, after he has become my son-in-law,
you've stopped being a good daughter to your dad?
Why are you so annoying?
