Chapter 60 Pregnancy
Tang Yue was sleeping soundly in the middle of the night when she was woken up by the alarm clock. She quickly turned it off, put on her clothes in a daze, walked to the outside and put all the buckets and basins into the space. She entered the space with her mental power and separated the ice cubes from the containers. She put the ice cubes into the warehouse and stacked them one by one. This piece of land was used to collect ice cubes. The containers were filled with water from the river again. After withdrawing her mental power, she put all the buckets filled with water in the space in the yard. After she was done, she quickly ran into bed. Although it was water from the river, it was sweeter than the water in the well outside.
Although she got up once in the middle of the night, Tang Yue got up at about six o'clock the next day. After washing and having breakfast, she first packed the woven clothes and hat in a cloth bag, collected the ice in the yard, filled it with water and put it in the yard to freeze.
Tang Yue was going to the commune as soon as possible so that she could come back in time to eat the pig-killing meal that she had prepared. She heard that it was delicious. She didn't know if it was true, but for some reason she seemed to like it so much.
Tang Yue heard a commotion at the foot of the west mountain from a distance, but she continued walking without paying any attention. She knew that the team leader and his men were catching pigs. Some of the money would have to be handed over, and some could be exchanged for money with the commune. When they came back, they should be able to distribute dividends to the members.
Tang Yue tried her best to hurry on her way, but it still took her two hours to arrive. There was too much snow on the road and she was afraid of falling, so she entered the commune and walked towards the post office. When she passed the hospital, she met a pregnant woman who was going to the hospital to give birth. Tang Yue felt as if she was hit by a stick and suddenly felt dizzy.
Tang Yue remembered that when she first met Brother Zhao, it had been half a month since her period ended. Then she counted again and found that more than a month and a half had passed. During this time, she had been thinking about knitting sweaters as New Year gifts for her parents-in-law and Brother Zhao, and had forgotten such an important matter.
Tang Yue recalled herself during this period of time. She especially liked to eat hot and sour food, loved to sleep, always felt sleepy, and never felt full. What else was there that she didn't understand? After all, she had grown to 26 years old. Although she had not experienced it, she should understand it as an adult.
Tang Yue touched the mask on her face and went straight into the hospital. After asking the nurse, she directly registered for the best number. Perhaps this doctor's medical skills were really great, so she waited for more than ten minutes before it was her turn.
Tang Yue walked in. There was an old man inside. After Tang Yue entered, he said directly: "Sit down and stretch out your body."
Tang Yue knew that the old doctor wanted to take her pulse, so she obediently stretched out her hand.
"Are you getting married, little girl?" it sounded like a casual remark.
Tang Yue didn't dare to let others blame her for not being married. "Doctor, I am married. I have been married for about a month."
"Hmm," and then the old doctor stopped talking and began to feel the patient's pulse quietly.
Tang Yue felt the pulse for about ten minutes, and felt a little panicked. Was there something serious going on? She felt uneasy.
After a while, I finally let go and asked, "What question do you want to ask?"
"Doctor, I want to ask if I am pregnant."
"You are indeed pregnant, but..."
The old doctor paused for a moment, which made Tang Yue very anxious. "Why don't you say it? Why do you pause at the critical moment?"
"What is it, doctor? Tell me," Tang Yue urged hurriedly.
The old doctor looked at Tang Yue unhappily and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? I just want to tell you something."
"Just say it directly. I can accept both good and bad things."
"Okay, I'll tell you, I did feel a pregnancy pulse just now, but I found that there was more than one pulse. Now I can tell that it's twins, but I found that there was a very weak pulse on the side. I couldn't tell how many there were. It may be because the pregnancy is still in the early stage, so I'm a little uncertain."
Tang Yue was first surprised by the twins, and then she was shocked to hear that even the old doctor was not sure how many babies it was.
Tang Yue knew that it must be because she drank too much spiritual water to keep her body in good shape. Zhao Shengrui's physique was even better as a soldier, so she could get so many babies at once.
Then the old doctor said, "The hospital has a B-ultrasound machine imported from abroad, which is very valuable. If your conditions permit, you can go and have one, so that you can see clearly how many babies you are pregnant with."
When Tang Yue heard that there were B-ultrasound machines in China, she felt reluctant and had to take a scan. "Doctor, I want to take a scan to see how many babies I am pregnant with. Give me a prescription and I'll pay the fee."
"Okay, since you agree, I'll write you a prescription. I've been practicing medicine for decades, and I've seen a lot of twins. I've seen triplets, but I've never seen quadruplets. I just took your pulse and found that you're in good health, and there aren't any major problems." The old doctor was a good person. He always saved the dying and healed the wounded. He was afraid that the little girl would feel burdened. After all, having three or four babies in one baby is indeed a heavy burden these days.
Tang Yue took the prescription written by the old doctor and went to pay first. Looking at the number on it, it was no wonder that the old doctor said it was very expensive, almost a worker's monthly salary. She asked several people along the way before she got to the examination room.
Fortunately, the person doing the examination was a woman. Tang Yue handed the form to her, lay down on the bed as she instructed, and lifted up her clothes.
"Hello, comrade, don't be nervous. This machine of ours has just been imported from abroad. It is very safe, don't worry," the female doctor introduced skillfully. After all, people would be afraid of strange things moving around in their stomachs.
Tang Yue was not nervous. After all, there was nothing to worry about in the modern world. She lay on the small bed and waited quietly, listening to the occasional exclamations from the people around her.
"Wow, they are triplets. I think I see three embryos."
"No, no, it should be four embryos, and there is a little shadow on the edge."
"Comrade, please move to the side."
Tang Yue quickly turned sideways.
"Wow, comrade, I found four embryos. Congratulations on having four babies. I have never seen quadruplets before. But comrade, it will be very hard for you when the time comes," said the female doctor who did the examination, who looked to be in her 20s, with a look of surprise and worry on her face.
Tang Yue tidied herself up and thanked the doctor, "Excuse me, doctor. This is the first time I've heard of this. Thank you for your concern." She took the medical examination form and went to the old doctor again.
Tang Yue handed over the list and sat on the stool waiting to see if the old doctor had any instructions.
The old doctor took the pulse and looked at it. "Little girl, when I took your pulse just now, only two pulses were relatively strong, and the other two pulses were a little weak. You have to take good care of yourself during this period, otherwise the other two pulses will be miscarried inadvertently. I have delivered many multiple births before, but in the end they were all single or twins. It's because the fetuses were too weak to compete with the nutrients from the mother, so they miscarried before they reached three months. This is the reason why many women still have menstruation when they are pregnant. Of course, some people will have menstruation in the first few months of pregnancy due to personal physical reasons. I tell you this because I hope you will pay more attention and don't take it lightly."
Tang Yue was touched by the kindness of the old doctor, after all, they were just strangers.
