Chapter 19 He is a doctor

Apart from Dang Xianghong, none of the other people in the private room had experience with childbirth.

She quickly sorted out her thoughts and methodically assigned tasks to the group.

"Go to the train attendant and ask for some clean towels and sheets."

"There's also boiling water, scissors, and rope."

"Young lady, go find Train Chief Zhang and make an announcement to find a doctor to come over."

Seeing that the pregnant woman's body was soaked, Shen Wanjun nodded and ran out quickly.

I almost tripped and fell because I was in such a hurry.

The man with the yellow teeth reacted quickly and helped her up.

Shen Wanjun didn't have time to think much. She pushed through the crowded people and ran towards the train's office area.

Soon the broadcast came on:

Attention passengers! Attention passengers!

There is a pregnant woman on the train who is about to give birth. The situation is urgent!

Doctors and nurses among the passengers, please proceed immediately to compartment 3 of carriage 5.

Upon hearing the broadcast, Dang Xianghong breathed a sigh of relief. "Little sister, hang in there."

Shen Wanjun silently held the pregnant woman's hand, believing that a doctor would arrive soon.

They waited and waited, for a long time, but no one came.

Dang Xianghong gritted her teeth and said, "We won't wait any longer, we'll do it ourselves."

I guess there are no doctors on this train.

Shen Wanjun asked with a worried look, "Big sister, have you delivered babies before?"

Dang Xianghong thought for a moment and asked, "Does helping a pig give birth count?"

Shen Wanjun was speechless. Does this count?

Pigs can easily have more than a dozen offspring in one litter, while a human struggles to even have one.

The man with yellow teeth suddenly spoke up: "That's different. Don't mess around, let me handle it."

"You? Don't cause trouble!" Dang Xianghong refused without even thinking.

"If you hadn't upset her, she wouldn't be going into labor so soon."

"It's all your fault, you made her miscarry."

Dang Xianghong's words put the man with yellow teeth in the spotlight.

The people in the private room looked at him with resentment. This guy had no skills, all he did was smoke and bully the women.

The man with yellow teeth didn't argue, he just kept rummaging in his pocket.

He pulled out a small, dark blue notebook with the words "Work Permit" embossed in gold on the cover.

“I am a doctor, and I am in this private room.”

After he finished speaking, the room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Dang Xianghong didn't believe it, and neither did Shen Wanjun. Could someone as unreliable as him be a doctor?

Yeah, right.

Shen Wanjun ran to find the train attendant.

The train attendant took the yellow-toothed man's work ID and looked at it carefully. The black and white photo with the official seal on it was indeed him.

Dang Xianghong still didn't believe it, so she snatched the work permit and showed it to Shen Wanjun, "Sister, you're experienced and knowledgeable, see if he's trying to fool people."

For some reason, she felt that Shen Wanjun was a remarkable person; she could read lips and speak foreign languages.

Shen Wanjun opened her notebook: Huang Ya, an internal medicine doctor at Shanghai People's Hospital.

Um, okay, the guy with the yellow teeth is called Huang Ya!

"Dr. Huang, thank you for your help." Shen Wanjun's attitude softened.

Being a doctor was a highly coveted profession in those days, so she had to look up to him.

"No trouble at all." Huang Ya waved his work badge, on which the slogan "Serve the People" was very eye-catching.

"No, I don't want him to touch me!" the pregnant woman suddenly shouted, her emotions running high and her chest heaving.

Dang Xianghong advised, "Girl, don't get agitated, he's a doctor."

"I don't care, I don't want other men to touch me."

Huang Ya smiled wryly, "How about this, I'll give the instructions verbally, and the rest of you can operate it inside."

As he spoke, he used a bed sheet to block the glass door above the private room.

All bystanders were driven outside, leaving only Dang Xianghong and Shen Wanjun inside.

Shen Wanjun was terrified, but Dang Xianghong specifically asked her to stay. It was a matter of life and death, and she couldn't refuse.

A deep, yellow-toothed voice came from outside the door, "Now have the pregnant woman lie on her side and adjust her breathing."

"Don't exert force yet, save your strength for later."

Dang Xianghong nodded; it seemed the doctor said the same thing when she gave birth.

If you exert force too early, the child will run out of energy and may suffer from brain hypoxia, potentially leading to intellectual disability.

"Hey little sister, how's it going?"

Shen Wanjun lifted the pregnant woman's loose clothes and saw a pitch-black mass.

"I'm not sure, it seems to be hair."

She glanced at it again. "It's the head. The head is out."

Huang Ya continued to instruct: "Support the mother's head and gently rotate her shoulders."

"Wait for the next contraction before pushing."

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Wanjun was so exhausted that she was almost collapsing when a loud cry finally rang out.

"She gave birth, it's a girl."

Huang Ya: "Very good. Now, immediately clean the mucus from the child's mouth and nose, and pat the soles of the feet to stimulate crying."

"Gently pull the umbilical cord to check if the placenta is intact."

"Massaging the uterus reduces bleeding."

"Tie the umbilical cord with a boiled rope about 2cm from the baby's abdomen, and then cut it."

Shen Wanjun hugged the baby with her red scarf, laughing like a fool.

She was terrified; her mind went completely blank.

Even when reporters came to take pictures and conduct interviews, she still acted like this, looking completely bewildered.

When the train arrived at the station, the pregnant woman was transferred to the hospital. She was in good spirits and even smiled as she said goodbye to everyone.

"Thank you all, thank you Dr. Huang."

Huang Ya nodded slightly and packed her things to get off at the next stop.

Using the box, Shen Wanjun took out toothpaste and a toothbrush from her spatial storage. "Dr. Huang, this is for you. I'm sorry for what I did before."

"Well, smoking is bad for your health."

Huangya awkwardly accepted the toothbrush and toothpaste, saying, "Thank you."

Dang Xianghong handed Shen Wanjun a few bottles of pickled vegetables, saying, "Take these and eat them. If you need more, come find me at the military compound."

Shen Wanjun nodded, picked up a newspaper, and leisurely began to read it. One article in particular caught her attention.

[Zhong Ming, former director of a Shanghai steel plant, is suspected of colluding with the enemy and attempting to flee to Hong Kong with his entire family. He has been arrested and is currently under investigation after being dismissed from his post.]

[Wang Fang (Zhong Ming's wife), who amassed over 100,000 yuan by abusing her husband's power, may face more than 10 years in prison.]

Zhong Yaozu (Zhong Ming's son) participated in an illegal fight that resulted in the other party losing their fertility; he may face more than three years in prison.

Putting down the newspaper, Shen Wanjun frowned. There was no report about Zhong Chuchu!

She is a reborn woman, and selfish and self-serving; she would probably stop at nothing to clear herself of any wrongdoing.

So she should be going to the countryside now.

Shen Wanjun personally signed up for her to go to the countryside, so it should be a done deal.

Shen Wanjun breathed a sigh of relief, just as the broadcast suddenly started.

"Attention passengers! Attention passengers!"

This train is about to arrive at the station. Those who are getting off, please take your luggage, letter of introduction, and ticket with you and prepare to disembark!

Comrades, welcome to the Great Northwest to participate in socialist construction and carry forward the spirit of "hard work and self-reliance"!

The temperature difference between day and night is significant in Northwest China, so please take precautions against the cold!

Shen Wanjun and Dang Xianghong squeezed into the crowd, and in a daze, she saw a familiar figure.

Is that... Zhong Chuchu?!

She actually came to Northwest China?!
