Chapter 92
Chen Shengqing said: "My wife is eight months pregnant. She is isolated in there alone, which will be inconvenient. I have to go in and accompany her. If she has an accident in there alone, I will not forgive myself or you. I will apply to your dean to let me go in and accompany her, and I hope you will not make it difficult for me."
After he finished speaking, he went to the hospital's communication room, borrowed a phone to call the Border Defense Department to ask for leave, and then called the hospital director's office to explain the situation.
Taking into account the many inconveniences Yang Qiujin was experiencing, the other party agreed to let him stay in the isolation room to accompany her, with the requirement that during the isolation period, he could only enter but not leave.
When Yang Qiujin saw Chen Shengqing, her jaw dropped in surprise: "Why are you here?"
"You are in poor health now. I am worried about leaving you alone in the hospital, so I came to accompany you." Chen Shengqing took a look at the isolation room arranged by the hospital for Yang Qiujin. It was like a normal hospital bed, with a bed, a window, and an independent bathroom. It was quite good.
"You are crazy! If I get infected with the plague and you come in to accompany me, you will also be infected and die." Yang Qiujin was anxious and reached out to push him: "Get out quickly, the family still needs you."
"Qiu Jin, it's too late." Chen Shengqing strode up to her, held her cheeks with his slender hands, and kissed her red lips deeply. His narrow eyes were full of tenderness. "Now, I have been infected by you and breathe with you. I will not leave you and let you face fear and danger alone. I will always be by your side, regardless of life or death. I owed you too much in the past. I always left you and your son behind because of military missions. This time I won't do that."
Yang Qiujin's eyes instantly turned red, "You are so stupid."
No matter how strong she pretended to be in front of others, only she knew how terrified she was when the emergency doctor told her that she might be infected with the plague.
When she was a child, she saw the neighboring village infected with the plague. The scene of the bodies of those who died of the plague being moved into the pit and burned one by one was still vivid in her mind. How could she not be afraid?
She had a baby in her belly, so no matter how scared she was, she had to force herself to comfort herself that everything was fine and she would definitely get through it.
But when Chen Shengqing appeared in front of her and told her that the medicine would live and die with her and would always be with her, she could no longer hold back and threw herself into Chen Shengqing's arms, crying bitterly: "Shengqing, I'm so scared. I clearly told Wu Ping and the others again and again to burn the sick pig, but I didn't expect them to eat the sick pig meat, and I didn't expect to run into them in the hospital by such a coincidence. If I had left later, it wouldn't have turned out like this, and let Xiao Xingxing suffer in my stomach."
"It's not your fault." Chen Shengqing reached out and patted her back gently, whispering to comfort her: "Our country has certain vaccines and medicines for most existing diseases. Now the farm hospital is trying to test and disinfect the relevant personnel. I believe they will definitely prepare the corresponding epidemic medicines to treat the infected. You didn't eat the diseased pork, but whether you were infected with the disease is still a question, so don't worry too much."
He was right. The farm hospital is now in a state of emergency. The entire hospital has been sealed off, the door of the infectious disease department has been locked, and the medical staff of the relevant departments have all put on protective clothing to conduct blood, urine, feces, etc. tests on the infected people.
At the same time, the hospital director did not hide the news. He made a phone call to the Awa District General Hospital and the Border Defense Military District Hospital, reporting the matter to them and asking them to send infectious disease experts to help.
Soon, several vehicles carrying experts from both sides arrived at the farm hospital. An old expert with gray hair and high moral character got off the car. The first thing he did was to ask everyone to put on protective clothing. At the same time, he asked the hospital to use disinfectant to disinfect all parts of the hospital over and over again. Then he led several experts to the hospital's laboratory to check the test results.
When Yang Qiuyue learned that her sister was isolated in the hospital because she was infected with the plague, and the source of the plague was the stupid things done by those farm workers, she was so angry that she jumped to her feet and rushed to the hospital with a package.
Fan Sui stopped her and said, "What are you doing? The hospital is under martial law now. You can't get in even if you go there. Don't worry."
"How can I not be anxious? That's my sister, she's eight months pregnant and about to give birth!" Yang Qiuyue shook off his hand, "I want to go see her. She's my only sister and she's always been so kind to me. If I don't go see her, am I still a human being? How could she have to encounter such a thing?"
At the end, she couldn't help crying: "She was still so young, why did God treat her like this? Why didn't those idiots listen to her?"
Fan Sui hugged her and comforted her, saying, "Director Yang is a great person. She has survived all the hardships. This time, she will be lucky and everything will be fine. If you really want to visit her, it's not impossible. I'll go with you. The hospital is under martial law, and the food in the hospital cafeteria is the same every time. It's not delicious. You should feel sorry for your sister. You can make some delicious food and send it to the hospital. Ask the medical staff to deliver it to you. Then your sister will know that you visited her."
"You're right." Yang Qiuyue wiped away her tears, turned around and ran to the grocery store, bought a lot of meat and vegetables, cooked some of Yang Qiujin's favorite meals, got on the tractor driven by Fan Sui, and rushed to the hospital.
On the way, she seemed to remember something and slapped Fan Sui on the back of his head, "Stop, I want to get off and walk by myself."
"What's wrong with you?" Fan Chong was slapped by her unexpectedly. He stopped the car with a creak, covered the back of his head and looked back at her.
Yang Qiuyue looked at him coldly, "What is our relationship now? What qualifications do you have to take me to the hospital? If we walk alone, people will gossip about us. I don't need Section Chief Fan to be so kind as to take me."
She picked up her lunch box, jumped off the tractor, and walked towards the hospital.
Fan Chong got out of the car and chased after her, "Yang Qiuyue, how long are you going to keep quarreling with me? It's been going on for half a year, and I've said everything I need to say. What do you want me to do to forgive me?"
Yang Qiuyue ignored him and just walked forward.
Fan Chong really had no way to deal with her, so he grabbed her hand, picked her up by the waist, and pressed her down on the grass beside the road. He looked at her seriously and said, "Yang Qiuyue, I told you that I want to marry you. If you are willing, I will ask my sister to propose to your sister. I have asked someone to repair the house, and the betrothal gift will be in accordance with the customs of your hometown. I will borrow money to buy you the three major items. Why don't you listen to me?"
Yang Qiuyue was suddenly held down on the ground. Seeing that the lunch box was about to fall, she struggled hard while holding the lunch box steady. "Fan Sui, you son of a bitch, let me go! You're holding me down on the street. Aren't you afraid of being seen and laughed at?"
"I am the son of a bitch, and you have been fucked by a dog. The first time I fucked you on the street, you were not afraid of being seen and laughed at. Today, you are wearing clothes and I am pressing you, and you are still afraid of being laughed at? If you don't agree to marry me, I will fuck you here." Fan Sui pressed her body and refused to get up.
Yang Qiuyue laughed angrily, "Not caring about a woman's strong will is called rape, don't you understand? Do you want to be shot for breaking the law?"
Fan Sui pursed his lips, pulled her up from the ground, reached out to pick the weeds from her hair, and said with a face full of pain: "Qiuyue, what do you want me to forgive me, what do you want me to marry? We have been torturing each other for almost a year, how long are you going to torture me? Do you want to wait until I die before you forgive me?"
Yang Qiuyue was silent for a while, "Do you know where you went wrong?"
"I know. Your sister once told me that when you first brought me to see her, my attitude did not satisfy you. You mistakenly thought that I was just playing around with you and that I was not sincere to you.
Qiuyue, I swear to God, I fell in love with you and wanted to marry you from the first moment I saw you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been so worried about you during the Chinese New Year that year that I specially went to the farm to stand guard and just happened to save you from charcoal poisoning.
You know me. I am usually not very talkative. I didn't know why you were angry before, and I didn't know how to comfort you. Ever since your sister reminded me, I have been trying to comfort you and make you happy. You have to believe that I am sincere to you. If you don't believe me, I can exchange my life for yours. I can go to the hospital and get infected with the disease, so that those experts can test and test drugs on me, and use my life to exchange for your sister's safe return."
After Fan Sui finished speaking, he stood up, drove the tractor, and walked towards the hospital.
Yang Qiuyue caught up with him, "What are you crazy about? My sister is in the hospital and it's already annoying enough for me, why are you causing more trouble?"
"You and I are strangers now. What does my life or death have to do with you?" Fan Sui said without turning his head: "Anyway, I am alone now and have nothing left to lose. It's okay for me to go to the hospital and make a contribution. If I die, maybe you will still remember me."
"Don't be silly." Yang Qiuyue was convinced. "I'm just throwing a tantrum, can't you just give in to me? Why are you making such a fuss?"
"For you." Fan Sui turned around and looked at her, his eyes full of helplessness. "You have been raging for a year. I am tortured to death by you. I have no desire to live. If you promise to marry me and stop making trouble with me, I will not torture myself."
"You're just taking advantage of the situation. Don't think I don't know that you're just playing a trick on me." Yang Qiuyue snorted coldly and climbed onto the tractor. "Okay, if you want to get infected with the disease, then go ahead. Don't try to play tricks on me here."
"Okay, sit tight and hold on tight." Fan Sui turned the turntable of the tractor and continued to move towards the farm hospital. "When your sister gets better, we can hold the wedding at the farm, okay?"
"When did I agree to marry you? Don't be so conceited." Yang Qiuyue said while fixing her hair that was messed up by the wind.
"It's okay if you don't want to get married. My little red brick house has been renovated. It's wide and big, with a small yard. The kang bed in the master bedroom is covered with thick felt. It's very comfortable to sleep on in winter and very cool in summer. Don't you want to come over and sleep with me, and have a fight with me to taste me? My muscles feel very comfortable to touch..." Fan Sui said seriously.
Yang Qiuyue blushed uncontrollably when she heard him say those explicit words, and spat at him, "You rascal!"
Both of them were young and energetic, and were particularly obsessed with that thing. They had been arguing for more than a year and neither of them had done that thing again. Not to mention Fan Sui, even Yang Qiuyue missed Fan Sui's strong and sweaty body very much at midnight.
So what if she is still angry? Yang Qiuyue understands that things in the world are unpredictable. Just like her sister, she was fine yesterday, but today she is isolated and her life or death is unknown. She and Fan Chong have been awkward for so long, it is time to let go of the grudge and live a normal life.
Yang Qiuyue and Fan Sui arrived at the hospital, and indeed they could not get in. However, the medical staff were able to help deliver the lunch box. Yang Qiuyue thanked the medical staff again and again and asked her to help pass the message to Yang Qiujin that no matter what happened, Yang Qiuyue would be with her.
Yang Qiujin saw that the lunch box contained a box of rice, a serving of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, a serving of stir-fried pork with green peppers, and a serving of mapo tofu, all of which were her favorites. She was very moved. “I wonder how Mom and Tianyou felt when they received the news.”
How could one feel? When Li Xiu'e learned that her daughter-in-law might have been infected with the plague and was quarantined, her son went to take care of her without hesitation. She felt like the sky was falling.
She took Chen Tianyou, who was also in disbelief, to the hospital in a hurry. They were also unable to enter the hospital, so they could only ask the medical staff to take good care of themselves, prepare meals for them every day, and run back and forth to deliver meals.
Others, such as Secretary Zhai from the farm, Han Yongxin, Ren Ying and the like, and Fan Hui, Song Zhaodi, Yu Cong and others from the farm, upon learning that Yang Qiujin had been quarantined, were not afraid of the risk of infection and came to visit Yang Qiujin one after another. Of course, they were also stopped outside the hospital.
With so many people caring about her and her own husband by her side, Yang Qiujin's panic and fear gradually subsided. She cooperated with the medical staff to complete the tests and kept walking around in the small ward.
In the late stage of pregnancy, in order to avoid a difficult delivery like when she gave birth to Chen Tianyou, Yang Qiujin followed the advice of her obstetrician and gynecologist and kept exercising to prepare for a smooth delivery.
Chen Shengqing, who had not slept for two consecutive nights, lay down on the only bed in the ward. His sleeping posture was just like him, very straight, with his legs stretched out, his hands on his waist, and he slept upright, making people feel tired for him just by looking at him.
Yang Qiujin walked very quietly, but she still woke him up. He opened his eyes and looked at her with some fatigue: "You've been walking for almost an hour, aren't you tired?"
"I walk so quietly, can you hear it?" Yang Qiujin was surprised.
"When I am on a mission in the wild, any slight movement around me could be an enemy or a snake or beast that could kill me at any time, so no matter what environment I am in, I am very sensitive to any slight sound." Chen Shengqing got up from the bed, reached out and pulled Yang Qiujin into his arms, and kissed her forehead: "I am very sleepy now, can you sleep with me for a while?"
Yang Qiujin avoided his kiss, "I've already told you that I might have been infected, so don't keep kissing me and stay so close to me. If you want to sleep, go ahead and sleep. I won't move and won't disturb you."
The ward was very narrow and the bed was very small. It was too crowded for two people to sleep in it. Yang Qiujin felt sorry for the man and knew that he had not slept well for two days, so she let him sleep alone.
"You are my wife. Even if you are infected, in my eyes, you are still you. I want to kiss you just following my heart." Chen Shengqing pulled her into his arms again and continued kissing.
Since she became pregnant, Yang Qiujin has been busy at home and at work. She no longer cuts her hair short every month like before. Now her hair is much longer. With her delicate features, fair skin, big and bright eyes, and her pregnancy, her whole temperament has become gentle and charming.
The more Chen Shengqing kissed her, the more distressed he felt. How could his woman have such a bad fate? She always encountered this or that thing to test her. God was so unfair to her.
Yang Qiujin was dizzy from his kiss. She looked at the man's handsome eyes and eyebrows that were magnified when he was so close to her, and felt helpless. This man was really stubborn. He wouldn't listen to her and she could only let him do what he wanted.
As the two were kissing passionately, a nurse in protective clothing knocked on the door and pushed it open and came in.
Seeing them hugging and kissing, the nurse was stunned for a moment, her face turned red, she said sorry, left the ward, and knocked on the door again.
"Come in." Yang Qiujin separated from the man and tidied her clothes uncomfortably. She looked at the nurse who pushed the door open and asked, "Comrade, what can I do for you?"
"Your test results are out." The nurse took out a test sheet, handed it to her and said, "You are not infected with the plague at the moment, but you still need to stay in the hospital for a week for observation. If you don't feel any discomfort after a week, you can be discharged."
"Thank you." Yang Qiujin held the test report and saw the words "No symptoms found" on it. She excitedly showed the report to Chen Shengqing, "Look, I'm not infected."
"Yes, I see. Once the observation period is over, we will go home." Chen Shengqing smiled.
In fact, he had never worried that Yang Qiujin would be infected with the plague. Although the plague was highly contagious, there were some differences between swine fever and plague. Yang Qiujin did not eat diseased pork, but only had brief contact with the infected person, so the possibility of her being infected was very low.
Even if Yang Qiujin was really infected, he was prepared to be infected by Yang Qiujin. He would take the initiative to apply to hospital experts for drug trials and be prepared to find the best injection for Yang Qiujin to treat the disease.
She had given so much for him. At this life-threatening moment, all he could do was to disregard everything about himself and do his best to protect the safety of her and the child.
Fortunately, God was kind and did not let Yang Qiujin be infected with the disease.
A day later, two deaths occurred among those infected. People suddenly fell into panic. Patients in other inpatient departments of the hospital could not sit still for fear of being infected. They were emotionally agitated and wanted to be discharged. As a result, they were forced to go back by armed armed forces personnel led by Han Yongxin.
When an epidemic occurs, the most important thing to avoid is the possibility of someone carrying the disease and spreading the infection everywhere, causing more serious consequences.
Before the hospital developed a medicine to treat the epidemic, no one was allowed to leave the hospital, resulting in disastrous consequences.
Under such circumstances, even though Yang Qiujin was not infected with the disease, the hospital still required her to remain hospitalized for observation a week later.
Yang Qiujin also knew that this matter could be a big deal or a small one. Although she wanted to leave, she was also afraid that if she set a precedent, others would use her as an example and leave the hospital in the same way, causing even worse consequences. So she endured the discomfort of staying in the cramped ward and actively cooperated with the hospital's work.
Fortunately, during this period, there was good news that Ruan Xiangming, who had been lying in the intensive care unit of the hospital, woke up.
The hospital's experts also worked overtime to develop an injection. Finally, half a month later, they developed an injection specifically for the epidemic and injected it into two patients who had fallen into a coma due to the epidemic. They gradually woke up and recovered. The director then announced that the crisis was over and allowed patients who were not infected with the epidemic to be discharged from the hospital one after another.
On the day Yang Qiujin was discharged from the hospital, a group of people stood at the hospital entrance to greet her.
Friends and relatives, farm workers, and people familiar with the farm, including Professor Zheng and Professor Cai who had been abused by Xiang Anfu and other revolutionary groups, all greeted her at the door.
Seeing her coming out, everyone came up to greet her: "Xiao Yang, you are finally out. How do you feel? Are you feeling unwell? Are you used to staying in there? You look a lot thinner..."
Facing the concerned greetings from the crowd, Yang Qiujin was filled with warmth. She answered their questions one by one, and finally her eyes turned to Professor Zheng and Professor Cai, who were thin, wearing ragged clothes, and whose cheeks were so thin that their bones were protruding. "Professor Zheng, Professor Cai, are you all right?"
Professor Zheng replied: "We are fine. The test field has been reopened. We have food and drink now. We don't have to be beaten every day. You don't have to worry about us."
Professor Cai looked at her round belly and said gently, "Xiao Yang, you've been pregnant for nine months. You're going to give birth soon. You've suffered a lot during this period. When you give birth and the baby is one month old, you must treat me and Lao Zheng to a drink. We can't give you anything else, but we have something to give to you and the baby."
Yang Qiujin was curious: "What is it?"
Others were also very curious. After all, these two professors came from bad backgrounds and were tortured to pieces by the revolutionaries. They had nothing left, so what good things could they give to Yang Qiujin?
Professor Cai smiled mysteriously: "When your baby is one month old, you will know."
When Yang Qiujin returned to her unit's home, her neighbors came to greet her again. Yang Qiujin responded to them one by one. She felt very tired, so she took a shower, lay down in the house and fell into a deep sleep.
Since she became pregnant, she became more and more sleepy as time went on. Sometimes she would feel tired after just a little bit of activity, and she slept more and more.
The next morning, she woke up and had breakfast. She saw Chen Shengqing hurried back in his military uniform, holding a telegram in his hand. He handed it to her and said, "My mother-in-law sent a telegram. She calculated the time and said that you will give birth soon. She is worried that you will have a difficult birth like last time. She is afraid that our mother can't handle it alone. She asked me to apply for family visitation rights from the army. She is already on the way to our border defense department. According to the time, she will arrive in the next two days."
Yang Qiujin took it and looked at it. It was true. She immediately felt mixed emotions.
She has been with the army at the border for nearly five years and she hasn't seen her mother for five years, so naturally she misses her very much.
She kept writing letters asking her mother to come to the army to play for a while, but her mother always made excuses for not coming.
Yang Qiujin knew very well that with her mother's weak character, if he asked her to come to the army for no reason, her father would definitely make trouble, and her mother was too soft-hearted to come.
However, since she became pregnant, she often wrote to her mother, and her mother replied more often than before, so she vaguely guessed that her mother would come to see her.
Now seeing the telegram her mother sent, Yang Qiujin cried uncontrollably, perhaps because she missed her too much, or perhaps because of her pregnancy.
Chen Shengqing had no choice but to hold her in his arms and comfort her softly, "It's a good thing that your mother-in-law can come. Don't cry. It will hurt your body if you cry. Your mother-in-law will feel bad when she sees you. I will go to the army to write an application for family visitation. When your mother-in-law arrives, she will live in the same room with our mother. When you give birth, they will help take care of you, and you will feel more at ease."
