The two exchanged a glance and sighed in unison.

So it probably wasn't that person.

It's boring, there's no excitement to be had.

The good mood of getting a beating vanished instantly. The two took off their clothes and lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed). They put out a small electric fan from the room and took out a large block of ice, put it in a basin, and placed it in the center of the room. The room quickly cooled down, and the two fell asleep in no time.

The next day, as the first bell rang, Qin Xiaoxiao opened her eyes, rubbing them sleepily. "Honey, what's for breakfast?"

Su Lu walked in from the outer room holding a spatula. "Egg pancakes, millet porridge, and some kimchi from your space. Is this enough?"

Qin Xiaoxiao nodded, "That's about enough. Let's boil two more eggs, one for each of us."

With a wave of his hand, two eggs appeared on the table.

Without saying a word, Su Lu grabbed the eggs and rushed outside, washed them, and put them into the millet porridge that was cooking.

After washing up, she tossed the towel into her spatial storage and said to Su Lu, "Honey, where are the clothes you changed out of yesterday? I washed them when I got back at noon, and they were dry this afternoon."

"While you're at it, take the blankets and quilts out to air them. The weather's nice, they'll feel warm and cozy after being aired out, and they'll smell like sunshine."

Qin Xiaoxiao pouted, "Come on, describe it, what does the sun taste like? Tell me."

Su Lu blinked. "It's what the book says. Did I remember it wrong?"

Qin Xiaoxiao shook her head, "That's right, I've never understood what the sun smells like, and who has ever smelled it?"

Su Lu couldn't answer. He scratched his head, frowned, and muttered, "What's written in the book isn't necessarily all correct. We should rely on the actual situation from now on."

After breakfast, Su Lu changed out of the clothes he had worn during the day and the night before and threw them on the kang (a heated brick bed), then quickly got Qin Xiaoxiao into the car.

Qin Xiaoxiao put Su Lu's clothes into her spatial storage, then put her own clothes in as well. She prepared the water, added some laundry detergent, and let it wash itself. Then, she turned around and sat on the back of Su Lu's bicycle.

The two had agreed to go to the hospital today. Since Su Lu hadn't asked for leave yet, they went to the transportation team first. Su Lu then asked for half a day off and went straight to the county hospital.

When they arrived at the hospital, Qin Xiaoxiao went to the gynecology department to wait, while Su Lu went to register. By the time Su Lu had registered, it was almost time for Qin Xiaoxiao to get her turn.

The two entered the doctor's office one after the other. When Qin Xiaoxiao saw that the doctor on duty was an old man with a white beard, her eyes lit up.

Without a doubt, it must be an old Chinese medicine doctor, and specifically the kind of old Chinese medicine doctor mentioned in Mu Jin's book who really likes Mu Jin.

This veteran traditional Chinese medicine doctor comes from a family of doctors and has made remarkable achievements in pulse diagnosis and acupuncture.

Where do you feel unwell?

While Qin Xiaoxiao was still in a daze, the old doctor had been examining her for quite some time.

"Irregular periods, are you married?"

The old doctor glanced at Su Lu.

Qin Xiaoxiao snapped out of her daze and quickly nodded, "We're married, this is my husband."

The old doctor nodded. "Stretch out your hand."

Qin Xiaoxiao stretched out her hand for the old doctor to take her pulse. After a while, he said, "Switch hands."

He then reached out his other hand, and after another minute or so, the old doctor finally let go and began writing and drawing on his prescription.

"It's nothing serious. You weren't feeling well before, were you?"

Qin Xiaoxiao leaned closer to the old doctor, staring at him with wide eyes, "Yes, yes, I had a difficult birth, so my health isn't very good."

"Your heart problem has been well managed over the past two years and is fine now. In principle, I don't recommend you get pregnant now, but you can't have an abortion if you do. So, I'll prescribe some medication to help maintain the pregnancy. Go get the medicine according to this prescription in a bit. You don't need much, just three doses will be enough."

Qin Xiaoxiao and Su Lu were still in a daze when the old doctor finished speaking, staring at him blankly.

After writing the prescription, the old doctor looked up at the two people and saw them staring at him with their four big eyes blinking, without saying a word. He was startled and leaned back in his chair.

"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

Qin Xiaoxiao blinked. "Doctor, I understood every word you said, and they all applied to my symptoms, but I don't quite understand them all together. Do you mean I'm pregnant?"

The old doctor blinked at the couple, and said, "Give me your hand."

Qin Xiaoxiao reached out her hand again, and after a while, the old doctor said to the two of them with certainty, "That's right, she's pregnant. Why do you two look so surprised?"

Qin Xiaoxiao looked up and stared at Su Lu for a long while before they both looked at the old doctor again.

"Doctor, my wife hasn't had her period for a while. She's only had it twice before. How can she still get pregnant?"

Don't lie to me. I may not be well-educated, but I still know that irregular periods make it difficult to get pregnant.

The old doctor chuckled, "Who told you that irregular periods prevent you from getting pregnant? It's not that you can't get pregnant, it's that it's harder to conceive. You just happen to get pregnant by chance!"

How is he supposed to explain this?

The old doctor was at a loss for words, and it took him a long time to explain it to them in the simplest and most understandable way.

"Your period is due this month. If you're not pregnant, it should be in about three or four days."

In theory, the period before and after menstruation is considered a safe period, making it less likely to get pregnant. However, this is not absolute, and your situation is not uncommon.

You are currently healthy and do not have any issues with uterine coldness, so your chances of getting pregnant are still quite high.

Some women are naturally fertile, and if I'm not mistaken, you are one of them.

It's quite rare for someone with irregular periods to get pregnant even during their safe period.

Another situation is that some women have their periods every two or three months, and it is very regular. In this case, it is not easy to get pregnant, but they can still get pregnant if they have no other health problems.

Qin Xiaoxiao looked at Su Lu with a completely bewildered expression.

"So, that means I'm really pregnant?"

Su Lu blinked, finally snapping out of her daze. She carefully helped Qin Xiaoxiao sit on the examination bed to the side, then moved the chair next to the old doctor. Without any hesitation, she pulled a blank sheet of paper from his desk and took the pen from his hand, then looked obediently at the old doctor.

"Doctor, please tell me, what should I do to ensure my wife has a smooth delivery?"

Please tell me about the reactions of pregnant women and what to pay attention to during pregnancy from the beginning, so I can take notes.

By the way, what should pregnant women eat? What can they eat, what can't they eat, and what should they absolutely avoid? Also, what can I do to help my wife during her pregnancy?

Su, a model student, kept asking questions, then looked at the old doctor with a sincere expression.

The old doctor burst into laughter at Su Lu's antics, saying, "In all my years as a doctor, I've rarely had a husband like you."

You care so much about your wife, you're a good man.

Okay, I'll take some time to talk to you about it.

For the next half hour, Su Lu listened and took notes, occasionally asking questions and writing down the answers on paper.

After the doctor finished speaking, Su Lu had almost finished remembering everything.

Qin Xiaoxiao curiously picked it up and took a look.

Good heavens! The entire sheet of paper was filled with writing, and it wasn't enough; the back was also covered in writing.
