After walking for more than half an hour, Kong Wanwan finally arrived at the fourth production team and asked around to find out where the barefoot doctor's home was.
I saw a middle-aged woman holding a large plastic bathtub and pouring water at the door. She was about to turn around and go into the house. I guessed that she must be the barefoot doctor's wife.
She hurried over and asked, "Hello, Auntie! Is Doctor Cao home? I'm an educated youth living in the educated youth camp next door in the Fifth Production Team. One of our educated youth is sick, and I'd like to ask Doctor Cao to come and see her!"
"Oh, you're the educated youth from the Fifth Production Team. I was thinking you looked familiar! But girl, you've come at a bad time. My husband, Lao Cao, has gone to another team to see a doctor. He probably won't be back for a while!"
"Or, you go back first, and when he comes back, I'll let him go to your place!"
"Ah? Is that so? Well, then I'll trouble you, Auntie! When Doctor Cao comes back, Auntie, please remember to tell him to come over as soon as possible. Our educated youth has a high fever, it's quite serious!"
"Oh, don't worry, girl. Seeing a doctor is such an important matter. Auntie has never forgotten to tell him!"
"Okay, thank you, Auntie. I'll be leaving now!"
"Hey, okay! Take care!"
After exchanging polite greetings with Dr. Cao's wife, Kong Wanwan turned around and a look of loss and disappointment immediately appeared on her face.
It was such bad luck that Dr. Cao was not at home.
If Doctor Cao was really allowed to go down to the educated youth point to take her pulse, no matter what the result was, the matter would probably become known to everyone.
She didn't want to become a laughing stock at the educated youth center, production team, and the entire Baiju Brigade.
So, halfway back to the fifth production team, Kong Wanwan sat down on the side of the road, ready to intercept Doctor Cao halfway.
I sat on the roadside for a long time and was bitten by mosquitoes in the wild, so that several bumps appeared on my face and back of my hands.
She was almost unable to sit still and wanted to go home when she finally saw someone walking towards her with a medicine box on his back.
"Doctor Cao!"
When the man came closer, she immediately stood up and waved to him excitedly.
"Doctor Cao, you're finally here. I thought I wouldn't see you again!"
"Girl, are you the educated youth who came to my house tonight and asked me to go to the educated youth clinic of the Fifth Production Team for medical treatment? Why are you staying here alone?"
"Yes, Doctor Cao, that's me! You don't have to go to our educated youth clinic to see a doctor, you can just see him here on the roadside!"
"ah?"
"Doctor Cao, it's me who's treating you!"
"Girl, what's going on? Why do you want to see a doctor yourself? What's wrong with you?"
Doctor Cao was a little confused by Kong Wanwan.
This was the first time he had encountered someone sitting on the roadside waiting for him at night so that he could treat her right there.
"Doctor Cao, I'm not sick. I'm just... I suspect I might be pregnant! So, I'd like you to take my pulse to see if it's true!"
"Oh, so that's how it is!"
Hearing Kong Wanwan's words, Doctor Cao immediately subconsciously took a look at her belly.
He knew that all the educated youth who came to the countryside were unmarried. He could understand that the girl suspected that she was pregnant before marriage, so she acted strangely and hesitated.
However, understanding does not mean approval.
In his opinion, getting pregnant before marriage is a sign of youthful impulsiveness and irresponsibility towards one's own life and the life of the child.
But as a barefoot doctor, he knew that his only responsibility was to treat patients.
He usually doesn't talk much about gossip.
"Doctor Cao, could you please take my pulse carefully? It would be good for me so I can have a better idea of what's going on."
"Oh, okay! Then sit down first and let me take your pulse!"
"Okay, thank you, Doctor Cao!"
Seeing that Doctor Cao agreed, Kong Wanwan thanked him excitedly and immediately sat down.
Doctor Cao then sat down next to her, put down the medicine box, and began to take her pulse carefully.
After thinking for a while, he couldn't help but frowned slightly.
Then he asked Kong Wanwan to stretch out her other hand and held it carefully for a while.
After the examination, Doctor Cao said solemnly, "Miss, judging from your pulse, you should be pregnant!"
"Ah? Doctor Cao, are you sure?"
"Miss, doctors never lie to patients. I won't make any rash statements about uncertain symptoms! However, if you're really worried, you can go to the county hospital for confirmation."
"Hearing what Doctor Cao said, I am really pregnant, really pregnant..."
Hearing Doctor Cao's affirmation again, Kong Wanwan suddenly muttered to herself in a daze.
Yes, it’s true!
So what should I do next?
Should he abort the baby, or force Du Wenli to marry her immediately in the countryside?
Kong Wanwan only felt that her brain was like a ball of paste at this moment!
"Girl, I've taken your pulse. If there's really no one sick at your educated youth camp, then I'll go back and won't visit you anymore!"
"Okay, Doctor Cao, you don't have to go. No one is sick here. Doctor Cao, I hope you can keep the fact that you took my pulse tonight a secret for me and don't tell anyone!"
"Don't worry, girl. This kind of thing concerns my reputation, so I won't say anything careless. It's getting late, so you should go back quickly. No matter how serious the matter is, it's not too late to think about it tomorrow after you get a good night's sleep!"
"Yes, thank you, Doctor Cao, I know, I know..."
Seeing Kong Wanwan looking at a loss, Doctor Cao shook his head, sighed lightly, then turned around and left with his medicine box on his back.
