At 8:10 in the morning, Su Tiantian had finished having her blood drawn and was sitting on a chair, pressing the needle hole, while Liu Jingze half-knelt to feed her porridge, which was in an insulated lunch box brought from home.
Su Tiantian said: "Brother Jing, no need, I will eat it myself in a few minutes."
Liu Jingze said, "You haven't eaten anything since 10 o'clock last night. You must be hungry. You just drank two sips of water. Eat some porridge first and then eat other things later."
Su Tiantian said, "Then stand up first. It's too uncomfortable for you to squat like this." Liu Jingze felt sorry for her, and she also felt sorry for Liu Jingze.
Liu Jingze stood up and bent over, and Su Tiantian swallowed the porridge Liu Jingze fed him mouthful by mouthful.
Jiang Sihui said, "We have two assistants here, but we still want Mr. Liu to do it himself. It seems we are not very competent."
Lan Quancong, who was standing nearby holding a canvas bag, said, "Of course, Mr. Liu has to come personally to feed Mrs. Liu porridge. Miss Jiang, look at how many people around are looking at Mrs. Liu with envy."
This is the hospital's laboratory department. There are really a lot of people. Liu Jingze and the other two have no seats to sit on and can only stand like this. Su Tiantian, the pregnant woman, only got a seat because she came early.
Liu Jingze didn't care about what they said and said calmly, "You two wanted to follow me, as if you were afraid that I really wouldn't go to work."
Jiang Sihui said, "It's an hour's drive, and we can still talk about work in the car, which can be considered work efficiency. Tiantian, don't just focus on eating porridge, here are some snacks."
Su Tiantian swallowed the porridge in her mouth and said, "I'll eat later. I'm just hungry. It's nothing. Why are you guys so nervous?"
Lan Quancong looked around and whispered, "Even if the big ones don't eat, the small ones should eat too. I just heard someone say that. Mrs. Liu, you're not in good health right now, so you can't starve."
Liu Jingze said, "On an empty stomach, you have to draw blood. That's the only way. I just heard a pregnant woman say there's a more difficult blood test, like the glucose tolerance test. You have to drink sugar water first, which is unpalatable, and then you have to draw blood every hour."
Su Tiantian said, "I'll have to do this checkup in about two months. Brother Jing, my needle hole is fine now. Let me have breakfast by myself."
Lan Quancong took the cotton swab that Su Tiantian was holding on the needle hole and walked over to throw it into the trash can.
Su Tiantian saw that some pregnant women came for check-ups alone, and then she looked at herself. She was accompanied by three people. It should be said that she had someone to accompany her every time she came for a check-up. She felt really comfortable in her heart. Someone took good care of her daily life and diet. Although the days of pregnancy were tiring, they were also happy.
Jiang Sihui deliberately said: "After all, it's still Jingze's fault. Tiantian didn't eat breakfast, so why did he eat it himself? Otherwise, he could have eaten with Tiantian now."
Su Tiantian disagreed. "That's not right. I skipped breakfast because I was fasting for the blood draw. How can I let Brother Jing skip breakfast too? Besides, Brother Jing works so hard every day."
Jiang Sihui said: "Jingze, congratulations on marrying a modest and virtuous woman. Look over there."
It turned out that Jiang Sihui said this just now because a pregnant woman not far away was complaining about her husband who was only concerned with eating breakfast and didn't care about her feelings.
The man remained silent, but the woman grew increasingly saddened as she spoke, her voice rising as she spoke: "Do you have any conscience? You've had breakfast, but I haven't. Can't you be like other husbands and buy breakfast for me to eat right after my blood is drawn?"
The man still didn't speak.
The woman continued, "You say you're busy with work every day. You finally come with me for a prenatal checkup, but you act so reluctant. I'm carrying your child, and it's so hard every day, but you don't show any consideration for me at all. Look, you're sitting, and I, a pregnant woman, am standing."
The woman was already crying, and there were many onlookers. Some people were also discussing: "Indeed, a pregnant woman standing while her husband is sitting, it's so heartbreaking."
Someone said: "If you are too lazy to buy breakfast, you will definitely not be able to take care of your children when you have them."
One woman said, "Men should pay more attention to their wives. Pregnancy is hard for women."
Su Tiantian didn't care about that and continued to eat breakfast.
The man being talked about didn't show any emotion. He would glance at his phone from time to time, a hint of annoyance between his brows. Then he said loudly, "Considerate? How can you ask me to be considerate? Others go to work every day when they're pregnant, but you resigned on the first day of your pregnancy and always ask me to accompany you. Don't I need to work?"
A woman's sobbing could be heard.
The man's tone was filled with anger, and his voice grew louder and louder. "Are prenatal checkups free? And why are you buying maternity skincare products and expensive clothes? Do you think you're a queen just because you're pregnant? I'm telling you, if you want to stay in a confinement center, you have to pay for it. I can't afford to support someone as delicate as you."
The woman felt aggrieved: "Do you know how miserable I am? I vomit every day, can't eat or sleep well. Other pregnant women have their families to take care of them, but what about yours?"
The quarrel between the two attracted the attention of the nurse, who came over to persuade them. After all, there were so many patients around and it was not good for them to behave like this.
Su Tiantian wiped the corner of her mouth with a tissue and said, "Brother Jing, should we go see Director Wu?"
Liu Jingze said: "Yes, is it enough for you to eat so little?"
Su Tiantian said: "Maybe I've been hungry for too long. I don't want to eat too much at once. I'll eat later."
Liu Jingze said: "Then let's eat later."
Liu Jingze helped Su Tiantian up and walked towards the obstetrics department. Jiang Sihui and Lan Quancong walked slowly. The two people in front walked slowly, so they also walked slowly.
Director Wu of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department listened to Su Tiantian's description of the fetal movement, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly. "You are now 16 weeks and 5 days pregnant. It is normal to have fetal movement. Come in and lie on the bed. I will listen to your fetal heart rate."
