In the obstetrics and gynecology office of the Sixth People's Hospital, a doctor is holding a film and carefully examining the images on it.
The person sitting opposite her was Ning Xiaowei, while Sun Zhengguo stood nervously to the side, his eyes fixed on the doctor.
They had been at the hospital for over an hour, and after a series of tedious tests, they finally received the report.
"You're Ning Xiaowei?"
After reviewing the images, the doctor took off his reading glasses and asked slowly.
"Yes, doctor, my name is Ning Xiaowei. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Ning Xiaowei's voice trembled slightly, and Sun Zhengguo looked at the doctor nervously, afraid of hearing bad news.
"Oh! Don't worry, the X-ray shows that your baby is over two months along and is doing well."
The doctor smiled and comforted him.
Hearing this, the young couple felt relieved and let out a long sigh of relief. Their hearts, which had been hanging in suspense, could finally be put at ease for the time being.
"As for what you just said, not feeling pregnant, this is actually quite common. After all, everyone's pregnancy reaction is different, and there is no absolute standard."
"Some people may not experience a strong reaction until delivery, while others experience unusually strong reactions as soon as they conceive."
"Isn't this better? It saves us from suffering those hardships again."
After hearing the doctor's explanation, the young couple smiled at each other.
"Another point that must be emphasized is that you must not have sex during the first and last three months of pregnancy, for the safety of the fetus."
When the doctor mentioned this point, Ning Xiaowei couldn't help but blush, but the doctor didn't seem to notice and continued:
"During these months, if you do have intercourse, you must be careful to control the intensity and avoid acting rashly. Otherwise, if it leads to a miscarriage, you won't even have a place to cry."
The doctor's words were directed at Sun Zhengguo, and even with his thick skin, he couldn't help but feel somewhat embarrassed and awkward.
Sun Zhengguo quickly spoke up.
"No, no, doctor. Are there any other things I need to be careful about? For example, are there any dietary restrictions or suggestions?"
His question surprised the doctor slightly, not because there were no dietary requirements, but because these requirements were not easy for most people to meet.
These days, it's already a blessing that people have something to eat, and even fewer people can have enough to eat.
In many places, people are even facing the threat of hunger, so how can they dare to ask for too much food?
However, when the doctor saw the young couple's attire, he realized that their family's financial situation was probably relatively good.
So the doctor replied.
"Try to avoid eating raw, cold, and greasy foods. If possible, drink more chicken soup and fish soup, and eat more eggs and vegetables. As for staple foods, you can mix in some refined grains."
"Thank you, doctor. I understand. So when is our next appointment for a checkup?"
Sun Zhengguo's words surprised the doctor. Usually, people would wait until they were about to give birth after completing their examinations before coming to the hospital again.
After all, the cost of ultrasound machines, such expensive medical equipment, is simply unaffordable for most people.
"If conditions permit, you can come for a check-up every one or two months."
The doctor kindly offered his advice.
"Okay, no problem, we understand, thank you very much, doctor."
Sun Zhengguo responded politely.
After expressing his gratitude to the doctor, Sun Zhengguo carefully helped Ning Xiaowei up and slowly walked out of the office.
After leaving the hospital, Sun Zhengguo took his wife and slowly drove towards the courtyard house.
At the main gate of the courtyard house, Yan Bugui and Sun Dajiang were playing chess, while Liu Haizhong and several others watched from the side.
"General, his third uncle, is he out of moves this time?"
Yan Bugui pushed up his glasses and realized it was indeed a dead end, so he said helplessly.
"Old Liu! I'm leaving it to you."
Liu Haizhong had been waiting for this very sentence, so he quickly sat down, and the two sides began a new round of play.
At this moment, Sun Zhengguo, who had just returned from the hospital, also arrived at the door. Upon seeing this, Yan Bugui felt that he could take advantage of the situation again.
"Zhengguo, I heard from your dad that your checkup today went well. I'm sure it went smoothly."
"Uncle, we did go to the hospital for a check-up today. My wife's baby is already over two months old, and everything is fine."
Sun Zhengguo replied with a broad smile.
This is nothing shameful, there's no need to hide it.
"Oh! That's wonderful! Congratulations in advance, Uncle! I really hope our family can have some joy like yours someday!"
Yan Bugui said meaningfully.
As soon as Yan Bugui said this, Sun Zhengguo immediately understood his meaning.
They've made it so obvious. I'm not stupid; they're clearly just asking for the red egg!
Under normal circumstances, giving a few red eggs wouldn't be a problem, just to share in the good fortune!
But with supplies so scarce right now, if we give them red eggs, what if we encounter greedy and insatiable people? They might even report us and ask where we got so many egg coupons.
Sun Dajiang, who was playing chess nearby, also overheard the conversation between Yan Bugui and Sun Zhengguo.
Worried that her son might agree without thinking, she quickly interjected.
"Jung-guk, your mother has been talking about you two! You should go home and see her, maybe she has something important to tell you?"
"Okay! I'll go back right away."
"Uncle, I won't disturb your chess game or watch the game. I'll go back first so my mother won't get impatient."
I was originally thinking about how to deal with Yan Bugui, but now my dad has even come up with a reason for him.
To avoid further entanglement, Sun Zhengguo simply led Ning Xiaowei home.
When I got home, my younger brother and sister were also home today. My brother was fine and offered a few words of blessing.
But my younger sister was overjoyed and kept shouting, "I'm going to be an aunt! I'm going to be an aunt! I'm not the youngest in this family anymore!"
Looking at his younger sister's innocent and adorable appearance, Sun Zhengguo couldn't help but smile.
Then I sat down with my mom and gave her a detailed report on the hospital examination.
Upon hearing the test results, Lin Wencui was completely relieved, and the family began chatting happily, all speculating whether their first child was a boy or a girl.
Sun Dajiang, who was playing chess at the door, lost his interest in the game when he saw his son and daughter-in-law return. He quickly lost the game and hurried home.
