90s Left-Behind Mother Decides to Change

At sixteen, Liu Suqin graduated from junior high and went south with her cousin to work. Like most factory girls, she met a young male colleague she liked, quickly fell in love, got married, and th...

Chapter 137 Chapter 137 Hospital Physical Examination.

Liu Suqin remembers very clearly that her second child, Lin Yuqiang, was born after the Mid-Autumn Festival, which seemed to be several days earlier than the expected date given by the hospital. She stayed in the health center for three days after giving birth. During that time, she asked the doctors and nurses many questions, fearing that her youngest son was considered premature and might not be in good health in the future.

The medical staff had seen this happen many times, and they told her lightly that premature birth was very common. The baby was in good condition, and she had been pregnant for nine months, so it was a full-term birth, and nothing would be wrong. She just needed to go home and recuperate.

It was at that time that Liu Suqin learned that a pregnancy of nine months is considered full-term, and she also learned from the young nurse how to calculate the due date.

However, after she mastered this little trick in her previous life, she never used it again. She herself had no intention of having a third child, and she couldn't calculate the due date for her daughter and future daughter-in-law. Both of them had no interest in dating and were focused on their careers.

As the old saying goes, it is better to rely on yourself than on others. Liu Suqin used the knowledge she learned in her previous life to start calculating the time when she would conceive her second child.

It's very simple. The child's father works outside all year round. He can only come back to have a baby with her when the factory starts to close at the end of the year.

During those years, their relationship was good. Lin Nanjiang, even while away from home, longed for a warm home with his wife and children, and was always among the first to return to the village. But no matter how eager he was to return, the factory's holiday wouldn't begin until the twelfth lunar month. For him to be able to be home and have a full nine-month pregnancy, the pregnancy would have to have occurred within the first few days of his return.

Knowing the approximate time, Liu Suqin assigned the work to her subordinates two months in advance.

The operation of the photography studio has been normal. She has been a hands-off boss for nearly a year, and the business is still booming. Occasionally there are personnel changes, and Li Hong and Zhang Mingliang will replenish fresh blood in time. Liu Suqin only needs to pay more bonuses and benefits.

So this year, in addition to regular team building, Liu Suqin also added a benefit. Every month, the employees with the most outstanding performance can come to her beauty salon to experience all the services. The girls are very enthusiastic about this benefit, and they have been like chicken blood for the past few months.

Even boys who don't have any beauty needs did not miss this reward. Most of them have partners, like Zhang Mingliang. Once he stood out in the competition, he gave this opportunity to his fiancée. His girlfriend liked him for a long time and did not complain that he was busy with work every day and did not accompany her.

Zhang Mingliang also took it out to share with his male colleagues during breaks at work. This thing is more effective than giving clothes or bags to your partner. It encourages them to perform well and strive for it actively. The benefits given by the boss are meaningful.

In this way, Liu Suqin didn't often go to the photography studio, but the employees' work enthusiasm remained the same, and they were even more enthusiastic than before. She also trusted them more and was more generous with her money, which became a virtuous circle.

As for the beauty salon, she is not yet able to completely become a hands-off boss, but Liu Suqin let the assistant who followed her at the beginning be the store manager. After observing and training for a few months, the other party can basically take charge of the business on his own. Liu Suqin no longer needs to sit in the store every day. She only needs to clock in every few days to deal with difficult tasks, or if there is an emergency, the store manager can call her at any time.

Due to work needs, Liu Suqin and Lin Nanjiang both got mobile phones this year.

There was no way. The mobile phone she had been longing for, Xiaolingtong, seemed to have been invented, but it would take several years for it to be officially introduced into the country. The signal had not been rolled out yet. Even if she could buy it outside, she would not be able to use it in the country.

It’s better to just carry the mobile phone for a few years.

Unlike Liu Suqin who was reluctant, Lin Nanjiang was very generous. He would carry his big phone around the city all day long, even when he went out to buy vegetables. Then, after he was almost stolen by a thief one time, he became honest and learned from his wife that when he needed it, he would put his phone in his bag and carry it out in a low-key manner. Even his voice when making calls returned to normal.

No matter how much Liu Suqin disliked the big guy being too bulky, she had to admit that with the mobile phone, her work and life became much more convenient. Sometimes she could just answer the phone at home and handle things without having to go to the store in person.

That's why she could arrange things with peace of mind and start to get Lin Nanjiang to prepare for pregnancy with her.

Before this, Liu Suqin had already consciously taken Lin Nanjiang to exercise together. As a rapidly developing city, Shenzhen's changes can be described as changing with each passing day. Even if you live in it and haven't paid close attention to the streets and alleys for a while, you can still discover many new things if you pay attention again.

Like a gym that quietly opens near their home.

Of course, there are many names for gyms nowadays. Some are called fitness clubs, some are clubs, and some are called fitness centers and so on. The names are different, but the essence remains the same. The store is equipped with basic fitness equipment and fairly professional coaches to provide guidance. Some large gyms also have swimming pools, and there will also be aerobics and dance classes for female customers.

Liu Suqin signed up for an aerobics class at a nearby gym. When she was alone, she would go to the coach to learn aerobics. The couple would use the treadmill and exercise bike in the public area, chatting while exercising. The process was quite enjoyable.

Of course, Lin Nanjiang also did not go to the gym only with his wife. He gradually developed an interest in exercise and wanted to develop what they called eight-pack abs. Sometimes he would go alone, or call his good friends and brother-in-law. At that time, they preferred to take off their shirts and exercise on the horizontal bar with dumbbells.

Liu Suqin did not do all these just to prepare for pregnancy. Exercise is good for their bodies, and they have the conditions now. After exercising for a while, she found that her physical condition was much better than before, and she had more energy. She even took Lin Nanjiang to the hospital for a physical examination.

Of course, they don't have any serious problems, but they are busy with work and don't pay much attention to health care. Maybe their bodies are lacking in some nutrients or trace elements. Since this condition exists, of course they have to adjust their bodies to the best condition before starting to have children.

Liu Suqin not only had the physical examination herself, but also brought her parents along.

The old couple lived relatively long lives in their previous lives, but when they were in their seventies and eighties, they both had a lot of minor ailments. If they had gone to the hospital to check them out earlier, maybe they could have been prevented in advance.

With this plan in mind, Liu Suqin did not forget to remind Lin Nanjiang, "Speaking of it, my parents have worked hard all their lives. Now that our family is well off, we can't usually be around to fulfill our filial duties. If we have time someday, we can take them to the hospital for a checkup. It can also be considered as a way of showing our gratitude."

"Oh, my wife is so beautiful and kind-hearted, she's filial and generous, and she always takes care of the old and young at home." Lin Nanjiang was deeply moved when he heard this. He hugged his wife and sighed, then he started to think, "But there's no need to wait until we get back. Didn't the fourth son and his wife get a house? I heard it's quite large. If the young couple start living alone again, my parents will definitely be worried and will have to come to the city from time to time to visit. Then I can ask them to take the old couple to the county hospital when they have time."

This time, Lin Nanhe's wife's unit is raising funds to build houses. Unlike in the past, the allocated housing area is not determined solely by qualifications and family size. Employees who can afford to pay more can choose a larger area.

It just so happened that the couple had plenty of money, so they booked the largest apartment.

Of course, the so-called "large apartment" is less than 100 square meters, with three bedrooms and a living room. But considering that they can only have one child in their lifetime, a family of three living in an apartment of this size can indeed be considered a "luxury house."

The place is spacious, so Mr. and Mrs. Lin can stay there for a while when they are free.

Although the house was allocated by the daughter-in-law's unit, it was their youngest son who paid for it. Before Lin Nanhe paid for the house, he also returned the dowry he had borrowed from his wife to buy shares, along with interest.

Although a family should not be so clear about the accounts, everyone in the old Lin family did stand up straight because he paid for it. Lin's father and mother would also call Liu Suqin to talk about the decoration of the house, and they were looking forward to occasionally going to the city to live with their youngest son.

Lin Nanjiang was very pleased to see that his parents and brothers who were far away in his hometown were getting better and better. He thought that although his home was far away, his younger brother was able to fulfill his filial duties by being with his parents. He had nothing to worry about when he handed over the task to them.

Liu Suqin also didn't care about Lin Nanjiang's filial piety being outsourced. After all, it wasn't outsourced to her. She smiled and praised him for being thoughtful. "This is the thing. If we take time off, it will be the Chinese New Year soon. Going to the hospital in the first month of the year is not a good idea. The key is to be healthy. My parents are also taboo about it. It's better to ask Nanhe and the others to pick a better time."

The couple happily agreed on this, and Lin Nanjiang said that he would call his parents and younger brother to tell them about it.

However, before he took any action, Lin Quansheng found out first. He also thought that his mother-in-law had helped take care of the children in the past two years and had made great contributions, so he asked Liu Suqin and Lin Nanjiang to take his mother-in-law to have the experience as well.

Whether it was one sheep, or two or three sheep, they would be released. Liu Suqin and Lin Nanjiang agreed readily. Because of Lin Quansheng's reminder, they also included Aunt Zhang in the physical examination team.

On the contrary, Li's mother was very resistant to this and made all kinds of excuses. She felt that it was a waste of money and that she was causing trouble for Liu Suqin and others. She just didn't want to go to the hospital.

But her daughter and son-in-law didn't want to miss this opportunity. Lin Quansheng didn't have time, but Li Xiaoqing did. So she simply followed the group to the hospital, and now her mother had no excuse.

In this way, Liu Suqin took everyone to the hospital.

Most people's physical examination results were normal, with only a few minor issues, which the doctors said were nothing to worry about. However, Li Xiaoqing, who was the last one to join in the fun, was found to be one month pregnant.
