Chapter 83

I have something on my mind and it feels like time is passing very slowly.

Xu Di counted on his fingers several times and felt that the time was about right. It had been almost a month since Zhang Chaoyang passed away.

During that period, when he first arrived at the army, he called home to report that he was safe.

After that, there was no more news, and I didn’t know if he had another mission.

I don’t know if my arm can be used again. It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. That’s only a short time!

Xu Di muttered to himself, but he could only mutter a few words in his heart.

It's April now, the snow has melted and the weather has turned warmer.

There was not much to do in the morning, so Xu Di and the team leader took an hour off and went to a nearby hospital alone.

There were not many people in the obstetrics and gynecology department, so Xu Di didn't have to wait long before her first line was waiting.

"Xu Di, what's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"Doctor, my period has been late for a while. I want to see if I am pregnant?"

"Pregnant? You are married, did you bring your marriage certificate?"

Xu Di was really glad that she brought the marriage certificate with her when she went out in the morning.

She had heard that in the 1960s and 1970s, couples needed to bring their marriage certificate when they went out together.

"Doctor, I brought it."

Xu Di took out his marriage certificate and handed it to the doctor.

"You really are married. You don't look that old."

The doctor asked some routine questions, such as when was your last period, when did it end, and whether you had any other symptoms besides being late.

Finally, Xu Di was given a prescription and asked to have her blood drawn for testing.

Xu Di went to have his blood drawn, but the result would not be available until the afternoon.

An hour was almost up, so Xu Di hurried back to work and found time in the afternoon to pick up the test results.

Now, Xu Di goes home to eat lunch every day and doesn’t have to go to the cafeteria.

Aunt Wu prepares meals every day, and grandma waits for Xu Di to get off work so they can eat together.

Xu Di has a big appetite, and with her joining the group, grandma can eat a little more at every meal.

"Grandma, I'm going to sleep for a while. I set the alarm."

Xu Di didn’t have an alarm clock before, so her grandmother would help her keep track of the time when she took a nap at noon. If she didn't wake up in time, grandma would tell her to get up.

After Xu Di found out, he quickly used his industrial coupons to buy an alarm clock so as not to disturb his grandmother’s lunch break.

"Okay, I get it. You go to sleep. I'll take a nap too."

Grandma also knew that Xiaodi was afraid of disturbing her lunch break. Not really. I’m old and I basically can’t sleep during the day.

In the afternoon, Xu Di took time to go to the hospital and get the test results.

Xu Di recognized all the words on the test report, but when they were put together, she didn’t quite understand. Did it mean that she was pregnant or not?

Forget it, I'll just take it to the doctor.

"Doctor, the test results are out."

"I took a look and, um, I'm pregnant."

The doctor took a look and gave a positive answer.

"Are you really pregnant? Is the baby okay? Are there any problems? What should I pay attention to? How often should I check?"

Xu Di asked a lot of questions in a row. The shock of having her wish come true made her mind a little confused.

"Calm down, take a deep breath, calm yourself down, and I'll take your pulse."

The female doctor in her fifties looked at the excited new mother and suddenly remembered her first pregnancy, when she was also surprised and happy.

Xu Di took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and stopped being so excited.

"Okay, doctor. Thank you for your help."

Xu Di stretched out his right hand and placed it in front of the doctor.

The doctor placed his fingers on Xu Di's pulse and waited quietly.

“It’s been more than a month, and the pulse is good, steady and strong.

You don't need to be too nervous, just treat it calmly. Eat more nutritious foods, but be careful not to overdo it.

The fetus is too big, so it is difficult to give birth. ”

The conditions at that time were limited, and there was no folic acid or anything like that. Xu Di didn't even know if there were calcium tablets at that time.

After calming down and no longer panicking, I asked when the next prenatal check-up would be.

"Come over in two months. Your pregnancy will be obvious by then. I'll tell you what it is like."

"Thank you, doctor."

Xu Di walked out of the hospital and felt that the sky was particularly blue today.

I’m pregnant, really pregnant, haha. Zhang Chaoyang’s abilities are quite good.

It's April now and her baby will be born at the end of this year or early next year.

Xu Di subconsciously touched her belly. She knew it was only the size of a fingertip and she couldn't feel anything, but she still felt like she was there.

Xu Di returned to the office with brisk steps and did not tell anyone about this.

It is said that you should not make any announcement during the early stages of pregnancy. Xu Di knows that this is a superstitious belief, but subconsciously, she still believes it.

After finally getting off work, Xu Di packed up and prepared to go home.

She wants to share her pregnancy with her grandmother.

"Xiao Di, you're back. Wash your hands and get ready to eat. Your Aunt Wu made dumplings."

"Grandma, come here, I have something to tell you."

After Xu Di changed his shoes, his grandmother came out of the kitchen. She didn't know what happened to the child as he didn't even have time to eat.

"What's wrong? Chaoyang called you?"

"No, Grandma, look."

Xu Di pulled his grandmother to sit on the sofa and put the test report in her hand.

"Xiao Di, what's wrong with you?"

Grandma looked at the test report in her hand and looked at Xu Di anxiously.

"Grandma, I'm not sick. I'm pregnant for more than a month."

"I'm not sick, I'm fine, I'm fine. What, you're pregnant?"

Grandma reacted immediately and raised her voice a lot.

"Aunt Qian, what's wrong?"

Aunt Wu was startled when she heard Grandma Qian's shouting in the kitchen, but she didn't hear clearly what she was shouting.

"Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu, Xiao Di is pregnant, pregnant, Chao Yang is going to be a father."

"Really, oh, what a happy occasion!

Xiaodi, what do you want to eat? Can Aunt Wu make it for you? ”

Aunt Wu was also very excited. She thought her new daughter-in-law was really amazing. She got pregnant so quickly. How great!

“Auntie Wu, it’s only been over a month, and I haven’t had any reaction yet.

After a while, you may have to work hard. I don’t know if the little one will cause trouble to you. ”

"Yes, the month is still young. I was so excited that I forgot about it."

Aunt Wu was also excited. With a baby in the house, it would be much more lively.

"Xiao Di, you have to be more careful in the future, especially in the first three months. Don't stretch or bump it.

Chaoyang, by the way, did you call Chaoyang? I don’t know if I can contact him, he’s going to be a father. ”

Grandma was happy. It was the first time Xu Di saw her express her emotions.

"Grandma, let's call Chaoyang later. If he's not here, I'll write him a letter."

Xu Di comforted her grandmother, knowing that she was happy, and she was happy too.

Xu Di called the Chaoyang unit and was told that Comrade Zhang Chaoyang was on a mission and was not in the unit.

Xu Di hung up the phone and looked at his grandmother.

"Alas, there is no other way. He can't know the good news first."

"It's okay, grandma. I'll write him a letter and mail it tomorrow."

"Okay, let's ignore him for now. What did the doctor say? Do I need nutritional supplements? What can't I eat?

My grandmother’s conditions were limited at that time and she was still young. From pregnancy to childbirth, she was completely confused. ”

Grandma didn't want Xiaodi to suffer the same hardships she had suffered. It was hard enough when she was pregnant without a man around, so she had to enjoy the rest.

"Grandma, the doctor said that we should increase nutrition appropriately, but not too much. The fetus is too big and it will be difficult to deliver."

Xu Di told her grandmother what the doctor said, and Aunt Wu was also listening.

Three women from three generations, old, middle-aged and young, are making preparations for the little embryo in their bellies.
