Chapter 151 Slip

Lingling and Wanli were a little curious. They lay on the edge of the kang and watched the two people busy. Wanli asked, "Mom, what are you planting? Are you going to make maltose?" He remembered that the last time they planted something in winter was when they were making maltose.

Lin Yue smiled and said, "Let's grow some vegetables, and we'll have vegetables to eat after a while."

The two children were very happy, not because they could eat fresh vegetables, but because they were curious about the new things. Lingling asked quickly: "Mom, have you planted chives? I want to eat dumplings stuffed with chives."

Lin Yue smiled: "We are planting chives now, but it will take a long time before we can eat them. When the weather warms up, chives will be everywhere."

The child thought quickly, "Then we can eat the chives we grow ourselves. How great is it that we can grow and eat them at the same time!"

Leeks need to grow roots, so they can’t be harvested in the first year. Lin Yue was about to shake his head, but after thinking for a while he said, “It’s not impossible, but if you want to eat your own leeks this year, you can’t use seeds to grow them, you have to use leek roots. I’m new here, and I don’t know as many people as you do. Otherwise, you two can be responsible for asking around, who has suitable leek roots, and can sell us a few tons?①”

The two children were quite happy. They were not afraid of trouble and found it quite interesting. They agreed with a smile and ran out the door immediately.

Lin Yue quickly stopped the two of them and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? We are about to have dinner. You can slowly ask around tomorrow!"

Little Mushroom tugged at Lin Yue's clothes, raised his head and shouted, "Mom, Mom!" When Lin Yue looked at him, he continued, "I want to be with my brother and sister too!"

Lin Yue smiled and said, "Then you have to ask your sister and brother and discuss it with them."

Little Mushroom turned around and looked at his brothers and sisters. Actually, he didn't quite understand what they were going to do, but he just felt that what his brothers and sisters were doing must be very interesting.

Wanli had always doted on his younger brother, and when he saw him looking at him pitifully, he immediately agreed. Lingling frowned, but didn't say much, just said: "I can take you with me, but you have to be obedient, otherwise I won't take you to play in the future!"

Little Mushroom nodded vigorously.

We had hotpot in the evening. Zhang Yuandong prepared the food and invited everyone to come over for dinner.

The hot pot was placed on the iron stove. Lin Yue brought it from her previous military region. After coming here, she found an opportunity to take it out and placed it next to the stove at the door so blatantly. No one suspected anything.

Because the whole family loves to eat hot pot, when making the furniture, she simply drew a picture and asked the logistics department to make a foldable round table with an empty space in the middle, which is just enough to put the hot pot.

Wang Tingting walked to the round table, held the table with one hand, and said with a smile: "This table is quite interesting. It is very convenient for eating hot pot."

Lin Yue washed his hands with the four children, arranged for them to sit down, and replied: "There are many children in the family. When they grow up, it will be inconvenient for them to eat on the kang. It will be more convenient to have a table."

Wang Tingting agreed very much. She was not used to eating on the kang at all, especially now that her belly was big, she couldn't sit still on the kang anymore.

Lin Yue didn't prepare too many dishes, only potatoes, cabbage and some dried mushrooms, but there was a lot of meat, including lamb, chicken and roe deer meat. Everyone was very satisfied with the meal, except for little Sisi. Sisi was less than two years old and couldn't eat many seasonings. To her, hot pot was not as delicious as stir-fry.

The nights in the camp were boring, especially when it was freezing cold. The space in the house was too narrow for the children, but it did not prevent the four of them from playing hide-and-seek.

Sisi and Little Mushroom were at an age when they loved playing hide-and-seek the most, and that was also the time when they were the worst at it. Little Mushroom always liked to hide in the same place, so others could find him without having to use their brains. Sisi was not like that. Although she was young, she knew how to seek help from others, such as her parents. However, she was easier to find than Little Mushroom. As long as someone asked, "Where is Sisi?" she would immediately answer, "I'm here!" It always worked.

Wang Tingting happily watched the children making noises, and her hands unconsciously touched her belly. It's not that she didn't feel angry about the baby in her belly, but as the months went by, she began to look forward to the arrival of this child more and more, wondering if the baby in her belly would be as lively and cute as the four children.

Suddenly there was a scream from next door, followed by the panicked voices of a man and a child. Even in the bustling house, it could be heard clearly.

Next door lived Zhou Aixiang's family. She was pregnant, so maybe she had an accident. Lin Yue and Zhang Yuandong looked at each other, quickly got off the kang, and rushed out the door. Lin Yue didn't bother to put on his coat, and walked out while saying, "Lingling and Wanli, take good care of your brothers and sisters at home, don't go out! Tingting, don't go out either, it's dark outside and the road is slippery, it's not safe."

Before he finished speaking, the man had already hurried out of the house.

Zhou Aixiang had indeed slipped in the yard. When Lin Yue and Zhang Yuandong rushed over, they saw her husband Lu Mangang pulling her arm hard, trying to pull her up.

Lin Yue was about to step forward to help, but he heard Wang Tingting's voice coming from behind. She was holding onto the door frame, her breathing a little uneven, and she stopped him in a sharp voice: "Don't pull her!"

Lin Yue paused, and Lu Mangang was also shaken by the shouting. He turned around and saw that it was the pregnant relative next door. He frowned and said, "What are you doing..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Wang Tingting again. She quickly came to Zhou Aixiang's side, slowly squatted down, and checked her condition. Zhang Yuandong grabbed Lu Mangang's arm, pulled him aside, and explained in a low voice: "She is a nurse, she has more experience than us, let her take a look first."

While examining her, Wang Tingting quickly explained: "A pregnant woman is heavy. If she falls, you can't just pull her arms rashly. What if she slips again?"

She looked up at the bewildered father and son next to her, took a deep breath, and asked, "How many months have you been pregnant? When is the estimated time of delivery?"

Lu Mangang said hurriedly: "It should, it should be next month! Nurse, how is my wife, is she okay?" His eldest son is already eleven years old this year. After so many years, he finally got pregnant with his second child. He was really worried.

Zhou Aixiang was really hit hard that time, and she hasn't recovered yet. She looked up at her husband and son, both of whom looked worried, and forced a smile: "I'm fine, it's just a fall, how can it be..."

Before she finished speaking, she felt something flowing out of her lower abdomen. Wang Tingting stopped her and said, "Try not to talk now!"

She happened to check the lower body. Zhou Aixiang was wearing a lot of clothes, so her pants were just a little wet. If she hadn't been lying in the snow and the red color on the snow was too glaring, it might not have been easily discovered.

She didn't care about that. Amid Zhou Aixiang's scream, she reached in and felt something sticky. She said anxiously, "It's bleeding. Send him to the hospital!"

Everyone panicked when they heard this. Lu Mangang was about to pick up his wife and run to the hospital, but was stopped by Zhang Yuandong.

It was inappropriate for him, a grown man, to stand here, so he stepped back when Wang Tingting was giving the formal examination. He stood facing the wall, with a small sled for children in front of him. When he heard Wang Tingting shouting, he immediately took it.

Wang Tingting quickly said to Lu Mangang, "Don't worry, it's not that serious. Put the person on the sled. It's dark outside and the road is slippery. If she falls while you're holding her, it will be troublesome!"

Lu Mangang was already panicking and at a loss of what to do. He only listened to what the nurse Wang Tingting said. He quickly did as she said and was about to put his wife on the sled when he heard his son shout, "Dad, wait a minute. I'll go get a blanket for Mom!"

The group hurried out of the house and saw Zhang Yulan, who lived next door to Zhou Aixiang, standing outside the wall, looking hesitant. Zhang Yulan saw people coming out with flashlights and asked nervously, "Mrs. Zhou, I just heard some noise and came out to see if you're okay. Where are you going?"

This person has always been timid and introverted. She probably heard that there were many people inside and was embarrassed to go in. Zhou Aixiang was not in a position to speak, so Lin Yue spoke for her: "Mrs. Zhou fell down. Let's take her to the hospital."

When Zhang Yulan heard this, she hurriedly made way and said stiffly, "Then, then go quickly!"

Lin Yue nodded to her, told Zhang Yuandong to go home and take good care of the child, and they hurried to the hospital.

Because there are many family members accompanying the border troops, the hospital has set up obstetrics and gynecology and pediatrics departments, which were not available in the previous large military regions. Zhou Aixiang was pushed into the obstetrics and gynecology department. After a detailed examination, the doctor asked her to stay in the hospital for observation, as it seemed that she might give birth early.

Zhou Aixiang only felt a dull pain in her stomach at this moment, but there was no sign of contraction. She was now afraid, her face turned pale, and cold sweat appeared on her forehead. She grabbed Lu Mangang's hand, her lips trembling: "If only I had been more careful..."

Lu Mangang quickly interrupted her: "Bah, bah, bah, stop talking nonsense, the doctor hasn't said anything yet, you are just scaring yourself!"

After this trip, Wang Tingting was a little tired. She patted Zhou Aixiang's arm and comforted her: "You have already given birth to a child, why are you still saying such things! The most important thing for you now is to have a good rest and stop thinking about it. There are so many doctors and nurses in the hospital, it's okay!"

Lin Yue brought her a glass of water and comforted her, "You are just too nervous. Drink some water to calm your nerves and you will be fine after a good sleep."

Zhou Aixiang was at a loss right now. She just listened to whatever others said and drank a glass of water from Lin Yue's hand. She didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but soon after drinking the water, she felt very sleepy. Although she was still uneasy, she couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep.

The doctor came to check every once in a while. When they confirmed that Zhou Aixiang was fine, Lu Mangang and his son Lu Bing finally breathed a sigh of relief. Lu Mangang finally breathed a sigh of relief and said to Lin Yue and Wang Tingting: "Thank you so much tonight. Thanks to your help, my wife is fine. It's so late now, you should go back and rest, don't suffer here!"

With both father and son present here, there was really nothing for them to do. Besides, Wang Tingting was a pregnant woman and couldn't get tired, so Lin Yue simply agreed.

Before leaving, Lu Mangang asked, "Sister Lin, I have to ask Captain Zhang to pass on a message for me. I have to stay in the hospital to take care of my wife these days. Please ask Captain Zhang to ask for leave for me!"

Lin Yue nodded in agreement and helped Wang Tingting back.

The next morning, Lin Yue got up early and made breakfast. He specially made chicken soup for Zhou Aixiang. After breakfast, he took the chicken soup and went to the hospital with Wang Tingting.

Lu Mangang rushed his son to school early in the morning. The hospital provided inpatient meals. When Lin Yue arrived, he was feeding Zhou Aixiang millet porridge.

Zhou Aixiang looked well and had no more bleeding symptoms, but she was still very worried. She asked the doctor this morning, and the doctor said that in her case, she would usually give birth within two days.

But until now, her stomach still had no movement, and she didn't even feel any pain. This scared her so much that she was afraid that something unexpected would happen to the baby in her stomach. So when Lin Yue saw her, her face was full of worry.

After Lin Yue knew the situation, he felt helpless. The medical technology at that time was still very backward. He didn't know if there was any B-ultrasound or something like that to check her. Lin Yue really didn't know how to comfort her.

Fortunately, not long after, Lu Mangang came with an old doctor with completely white hair. Although Lin Yue had not been to the military hospital very often, she knew from the old doctor's appearance that this was Doctor Ma, the best old Chinese medicine doctor in the hospital. She quickly made room for the old man to make it easier for him to see her.
