I had a lot of strange little questions on my mind before going to bed, but I ended up sleeping soundly all night.
Jiang Si woke up to the army's reveille in the morning. When she was almost finished washing up, Huo Tingzhou came over.
The military hospital was not far away, and it only took the two of them less than ten minutes to walk there.
Because of military regulations, pilots must undergo a physical examination at the military hospital every three months, and Huo Tingzhou is quite familiar with the area.
Upon arriving at the hospital, he first took Jiang Si to the second floor.
"Don't be nervous when you go in. After the check-up, you can sit and rest in the lounge next door for a while. I might be a little late."
"I put some food in your bag, and this is your water bottle."
Jiang Si nodded and took the things.
On the way here, Huo Tingzhou had already told him in advance what items would be included in this premarital checkup.
Her situation was relatively simpler, unlike Huo Tingzhou, whose side required several more tests than hers.
"I understand, you can go upstairs now."
After saying that, Jiang Si knocked on the door and entered the room. She was greeted by a middle-aged doctor in his fifties, who introduced himself as Jiang.
"Hello, Dr. Jiang."
"Sit down, don't be nervous."
Dr. Jiang smiled and then asked Jiang Si a routine question.
There is only one question: does she or her family members have any genetic diseases?
For example, mental illness, hemophilia, congenital deafness, etc.
After Jiang Si answered truthfully, Dr. Jiang nodded, then measured her height, weight, and blood pressure, and also did a simple cardiopulmonary function test.
“Everything is fine, but you’re a little thin. You’re 168 cm tall and your weight is just 98 catties.”
Dr. Jiang took a pen and rewrote a prescription. "I'll give you a certificate. Take the certificate to the military service center and buy two bags of milk powder. Remember to drink one cup in the morning and one cup at night."
Jiang Si took the form, but before she could even express her gratitude, Dr. Jiang had already moved on to the next step.
She changed into a pair of rubber gloves and then disinfected them with alcohol.
Pointing to the folding hospital bed inside, "Come on, lie down on that..."
Jiang Si: "..."
Although I already knew in advance that the examination would be gynecological, Dr. Jiang is also a woman.
But when she lay there and people were staring down at her, Jiang Si still felt a little uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Dr. Jiang only did a routine check-up.
After all, young women are usually shy, so "good enough" is fine.
Next, Jiang Si followed the nurse's instructions and had an X-ray and an ultrasound examination.
The first few procedures went smoothly, but when it came to the last step—the blood test—Jiang Si suffered quite a bit.
Although her skin was very fair, the veins on her hands were not very noticeable, and they were very thin.
The nurse who was giving her the injection could only keep patting the back of her hand.
After slapping for a long time, they still couldn't find any veins, and Jiang Si's hand was bruised and red.
Seeing this, the nurse could only take out a latex tube and tie it to her arm. After doing this for a few minutes,
The nurse finally found a suitable spot to insert the needle.
But the needle still missed its mark, and the pain almost brought tears to Jiang Si's eyes.
You should know that in those days, blood was drawn using stainless steel needles with thick tips, and they were the kind that could be reused.
It hurt terribly when it was pricked on the back of my hand, even more than when Jiang Si had her skin test done before.
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry." The nurse almost cried.
Just as she was about to try again, an older nurse took the steel needle from her hand.
Fortunately, this time it was a success on the first try!
"Okay, just press it down a little yourself."
The nurse reminded Jiang Si to hold the cotton ball in place, and then said, "The test results should be available tomorrow afternoon. Come pick up the report early the day after tomorrow."
Jiang Si nodded.
Her examination concluded smoothly, but Huo Tingzhou encountered a minor issue.
The doctor who performed the reproductive health checkup on Huo Tingzhou was Dr. Liang, the most senior military doctor in the hospital.
Seeing that Huo Tingzhou had been in the room for a long time without coming out, Old Liang frowned and knocked on the door.
"What, it's not ready yet?"
After a long pause, Huo Tingzhou's slightly hoarse voice came from inside, "Not yet—"
"..." Old Liang was shocked.
Most people go in and come out in 10 to 20 minutes at most, but this person stayed inside for almost an hour!
Could it be that this kid has never even touched a gun?
The more Liang thought about it, the more convinced he felt he had the truth. Helpless, he went back to his office, retrieved a booklet, and slipped it into Huo Tingzhou's pocket.
"I'll give you another half hour. If that doesn't work, think about your wife. If that still doesn't work..."
If that still doesn't work, he's out of ideas.
Whether it was Old Liang's words or not, Huo Tingzhou finally completed the task with difficulty half an hour later.
Just as he was about to go downstairs, Old Liang called him back.
They stuffed a few more packages into his hands, saying, "Take these. These are the largest sizes available. We don't have any more. These are all we have."
When Huo Tingzhou saw what was in his hand, his face froze.
When I went downstairs, it was already past ten o'clock.
Huo Tingzhou rushed to the lounge, where Jiang Si was leaning against the wall with her eyes closed, resting.
Hearing footsteps, she lifted her eyelids.
"How long have you been waiting? Have you eaten what's in your bag?" Huo Tingzhou asked.
"Not long."
Jiang Si handed him the water bottle, and was about to say that she had eaten a piece of sponge cake and two pieces of chocolate that he had brought.
But when he looked up, he noticed that something was wrong with Huo Tingzhou.
In the past, his gaze was always fixed on me.
Unlike now, his eyes and brows have been downcast ever since he entered the room.
And his ears were now so red they looked like they were about to bleed.
His green military uniform was soaked with sweat.
Even his voice was much deeper and heavier than before.
If she didn't know him well enough, Jiang Si would have suspected that he had done something to wrong her.
Just then, Dr. Jiang, who had examined Jiang Si earlier, came over.
Upon seeing Huo Tingzhou, he jokingly said, "Commander Huo, your wife is too thin. You'll have to make sure she gets some extra nutrition when you get back."
Huo Tingzhou glanced at Jiang Si and realized she really needed to replenish her energy.
"Thank you, Dr. Jiang."
"Okay, remember to come pick up the report first thing the day after tomorrow."
Huo Tingzhou took Dr. Jiang's words to heart, and after leaving the military hospital, he went straight to the service center.
I bought the milk powder as Dr. Jiang requested, and also bought several kilograms of pork belly.
I plan to make her some Shanghai-style braised pork when I get back.
He doesn't find cooking tiring, so Jiang Si naturally wouldn't undermine his confidence.
She was a little worried because it was such a waste to just leave all those things stored in her space.
No, she had to think of a way quickly—
