"You are not yet 70 or 80 years old, and you are so thin. Do you have a weak spleen?"
50-year-old Aunt Ma finally finished taking care of her daughter-in-law's confinement. After dinner last night, she went to the square to dance non-stop. I have endured it for more than a month and it is really frustrating.
But when my old friends were dancing with me, they would touch my waist and say how thin I was.

Save personnel.
Just like that, during the more than a month of her daughter-in-law's confinement period, Lao Ma looked forward and backward, and he also found that he had lost a lot of weight. Then while dancing, I told my friends that my stomach hurt again, so I ran to the public toilet. My friends saw that Lao Ma didn’t look good, so they said, "Hey, Lao Ma, you Why are you so tired of serving your daughter-in-law? You are clearly suffering from spleen deficiency!"
Aunt Ma saw her friends saying this and didn't know what spleen deficiency was, so she asked anxiously what should I do? One of them knew something about health preservation.
