Chapter 171 Learning and Growth

"Ms. Chen, I have never tried acupuncture. Is it really effective?" There was a hint of uneasiness in Old Li's voice and doubt in his eyes.

Chen Fang smiled slightly, with a firm look in her eyes: "Lao Li, acupuncture has a long history in ancient times, and many people have relieved various pains through it. Although everyone's physique is different, I believe you can give it a try."

Old Li was silent for a moment, hesitant in his heart: "I heard that acupuncture can be very painful sometimes, I'm afraid I can't stand it."

"I will try my best to make you feel comfortable." Chen Fang said gently, trying to dispel his concerns, "Besides, the pain is temporary, and the comfort after the relief will make you feel it is worth it."

Old Li nodded. Although he was still a little uneasy, he gradually developed a sense of trust in Chen Fang after seeing her serious attitude. “Okay, since you said so, I’ll give it a try.”

"Please relax and sit down." Chen Fang said softly, secretly encouraging herself and trying to make Lao Li feel at ease. She prepared the needles and silently recited the acupuncture points she learned from the book.

"You have to remember that the effects of acupuncture are not immediate. It may take several times to see significant improvement." Chen Fang said as she gently placed the needle on Lao Li's back.

Lao Li closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to relax himself: "I will try my best to cooperate."

"Okay, you can lean forward a little bit so that I can give you acupuncture more easily." Chen Fang instructed softly, with gentle and steady movements. She aimed the needle at Lao Li's back, silently reciting the name of the acupuncture point in her mind, and gently inserted it.

"Ah..." Old Li couldn't help but cry out softly, his body trembled slightly, and then he felt a warm feeling surging in his heart.

"How do you feel?" Chen Fang asked with concern, with gentle care in her eyes.

"It stung a little, but then I felt warm." There was a hint of surprise in Lao Li's voice, "It feels pretty good."

"That's good." Chen Fang smiled and continued to give acupuncture. Her technique became more and more skillful, and she gradually relaxed. While giving acupuncture, she talked to Lao Li: "How are your daily living habits? Do you take care of your rest?"

Old Li sighed, his tone revealing helplessness: "I am busy with farm work every day, and I am often exhausted. How can I have time to take care of these things?"

"Proper rest and conditioning are very important." Chen Fang said seriously, "If you can take some time to relax yourself in your busy life, your body will be better."

"I know, but life is always like this." Lao Li shook his head helplessly, with a hint of fatigue in his eyes.

"Then start from now on and try to change some small habits." Chen Fang encouraged, "For example, taking a little time every day to take a walk, or doing some simple stretching, are both good choices."

Lao Li nodded and thought to himself: "Maybe I should give it a try."

As time went by, Chen Fang's acupuncture became easier and easier, and Lao Li's body gradually relaxed, and the tension on his face gradually disappeared. She whispered, "You have to believe that acupuncture can help you regulate your qi and blood and relieve pain."

"I believe in you." Lao Li's voice was filled with gratitude. "With you by my side, I feel more at ease."

"Thank you for your trust." Chen Fang smiled, feeling warm in her heart. She continued to focus on the work in her hands, observing Lao Li's reaction from time to time.

Finally, Chen Fang pulled out all the needles. Lao Li slowly stood up and tried to move his back. He was surprised to find that the pain seemed to have eased a lot.

"It's amazing!" Old Li exclaimed, his eyes sparkling with surprise, "I feel a lot more relaxed."

"This is just the beginning. We can continue with several treatments." Chen Fang said with a smile, feeling secretly relieved.

"Thank you, Miss Chen." Old Li said gratefully, his eyes full of emotion, "You are really my benefactor."

"Fang'er, what are you thinking about?" Li Ming asked with concern, frowning slightly.

"I'm thinking about how I can better master this skill." Chen Fang turned around with a firm look, "I will try my best, and this is what I'm learning."

Li Ming nodded and walked closer to her, with a hint of admiration in his eyes. "You are always so persistent, no wonder everyone looks at you with new eyes." He smiled slightly, trying to ease her nervousness.

"But I don't think I'm good enough." Chen Fang's voice lowered, and she seemed a little lost. "Whenever I see those people with superb skills, I feel so insignificant."

"Everyone has his or her own starting point." Li Ming comforted him, "You just need to persevere, and time will prove everything."

"But time always seems to pass very slowly for me." Chen Fang sighed and looked out the window, as if searching for some answer.

"It doesn't matter if you're slow. What matters is that you're making progress." Li Ming walked up to her and said softly, "I believe you will surpass yourself."

"You always encourage me like this." Chen Fang smiled slightly, feeling warm in her heart, "But I want more than just encouragement, I hope to have a clear direction."

"Then we can make a plan together." Li Ming suggested, with wisdom in his eyes. "We can set goals every day and achieve them step by step."

"Would you like to study with me?" Chen Fang's eyes sparkled with anticipation.

"Of course, I will do my best to help you." Li Ming answered firmly, and secretly made up his mind, "We can learn from each other and promote each other."

"Then let's start from today." Chen Fang showed a long-lost smile on her face, "I will work hard to make myself better."

"Okay, let's start with the basics." Li Ming began to explain in detail, "First, you need to master the basic principles of this skill. Only when you understand the principles can you use it better."

"I understand." Chen Fang nodded seriously, her heart full of anticipation.

"Next, we can do some simple exercises." Li Ming took out a pen and paper and began to demonstrate to her, "Look, this is how you do this..."

As Li Ming explained, Chen Fang's mind gradually became clear. She observed carefully, trying to remember every detail, and secretly vowed in her heart that she must master this knowledge firmly.

"You're doing great, keep it up!" Li Ming's encouragement made her feel very excited.

"Thank you, Brother Ming." Chen Fang smiled slightly, with a determined light flashing in her eyes, "With you by my side, I don't feel alone anymore."

"We are friends, and it is natural for us to support each other." Li Ming's tone was gentle, and he was secretly relieved in his heart.

Time passed quietly during their conversation, and the sun outside the window gradually sank, reflecting a warm orange color. Chen Fang's heart was full of hope and motivation, and she knew that her efforts would eventually be rewarded.

"Brother Ming, I want to practice for a while longer." There was a hint of persistence in Chen Fang's voice.

"Okay, then let's practice for a while longer." Li Ming readily agreed, secretly proud of her determination.
