A few days later, Lu Shiyi accompanied Su Jin to the hospital for a prenatal check-up. After Su Jin entered the door, she found Liu Siying sitting at the desk opposite Wang Boya, helping Wang Boya copy the medical plan.
"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Liu Siying was grateful to the couple. "I've been admitted to the hospital as an intern and will work with Xiaoya in the future."
"Have all the files been transferred?" Lu Shiyi accompanied Su Jin to check and asked after learning that the director of the art troupe was a talkative person.
"Minister Lu, the dean helped to handle it." Wang Boya informed Lu Shiyi, "The head of the group was originally not happy about it, but after the dean put pressure on him from many sides, he had no choice but to sign."
Lu Shiyi hummed: "You write the inspection document and accompany Su Jin to the inspection."
Wang Boya quickly wrote out the orders and handed four orders to Lu Shiyi.
Lu Shiyi first sent her to sit in the corridor where blood was to be drawn. He quickly went to the first floor to negotiate the price. Medical care for family members accompanying the army was free.
Su Jin sat on a bench in the corridor. Most of the people who came for the checkup were military wives from the city. They envied Lu Shiyi for taking leave to accompany her for the prenatal checkup.
"Sister-in-law, how many months have you been here?" a young military wife sitting opposite asked curiously.
Everyone in the family compound was saying that Su Jin was pregnant, so Lu Shiyi took her to the hospital for a check-up in advance. Most of them were skeptical because Su Jin didn't look like a pregnant woman.
"It's been more than two months. Do you also come for prenatal checkups every month?" Su Jin asked the military wives.
"It's just a pre-delivery checkup, and this treatment is considered good." The military wives shook their heads, "Sister-in-law, you are so frail, you still need a checkup. Don't be like last year's sister-in-law, who died in childbirth."
Su Jin heard several family members mention Nian's sister-in-law and hoped that Su Jin would pay attention to the examination. Both of them were equally thin.
After Lu Shiyi came back from bargaining, he listened to the wives' complaints and secretly made a decision in his heart that Su Jin must be admitted to the hospital in advance to give birth.
"The hospitals in the military area are okay. After giving birth, each sister-in-law has a single room. In hospitals outside, babies can get lost." The sisters-in-law began to remind Su Jin to be careful.
When everyone saw Lu Shiyi coming, they stopped chatting and continued to wait in silence for their number to be called.
After Su Jin finished all the examinations, she took the list to find Wang Boya. She looked at the results in her hand and nodded at the two of them.
"The children are very healthy. In a few months, you can apply for an ultrasound here to see how many babies there are." Wang Boya suggested that Su Jin get an ultrasound to check the health of the children in advance, "but you have to pay for the ultrasound yourself."
"No problem!" Lu Shiyi agreed immediately, "Anything that's good for the mother and daughter's health can be arranged."
Uh uh uh!
Su Jin smiled awkwardly at Wang Boya and Liu Siying. When Lu Shiyi learned that she was pregnant, he kept talking about having a daughter.
"Releasing Lu Bu may not be because of a daughter, but a son." Wang Boya reminded Lu Shiyi not to favor one over the other.
"It's the same whether it's a son or a daughter." Su Jin glared at Lu Shiyi, "Doctor Wang, do you want an ultrasound for the next checkup?"
Lu Shiyi was speechless after being rebuked. Because the military region was located in the border area, the military hospital was specially equipped with the most advanced examination equipment.
"Yes, you should come earlier next time. The doctor who will examine you works between 8 and 10 in the morning." Wang Boya told the couple.
Lu Shiyi put the list into the file bag and walked outside with Su Jin.
After leaving the hospital, Su Jin looked at Lu Shiyi, considering whether to get checked.
"Xiao Jin, I don't want you to do an ultrasound. People in the capital say it's bad for the baby." Lu Shiyi had heard from colleagues that this was new equipment and might have an impact on the baby. "Besides, I don't want to know the baby's gender in advance."
The Lu family has high expectations for boys, and they have to start independent training from the age of 3. In addition, there has been no girl in the Lu family for three generations. If Su Jin gives birth to a daughter, she will become the darling of the whole family.
"Let the child be treated as the family's favorite in the past few months. If it's a boy born earlier, he will definitely feel wronged." Lu Shiyi reminded Su Jin of the Lu family's tradition, "Girls are favored in the Lu family, and boys are grassroots in the Lu family."
Su Jin chuckled and said, "Ayi, you have the final say!"
Lu Shiyi received hints from the elders of the Lu family. Grandma Lu and Mother Lu also took the opportunity to talk about the package to ask Lu Shiyi to pay special attention to Su Jin's physical condition and not to be fooled by the prenatal doctor.
"Okay, the package sent to us by family has arrived. Grandma and Mom went to the Friendship Store and bought a lot of things," Lu Shiyi received the order from the post office in the morning and planned to bring it back today.
The post office's order states that the package must be collected within 7 days, otherwise it will be returned directly.
Lu Shiyi put the checked document bag back home, then took Su Jin out with him and rode his bike to the post office in the county town.
The car stopped at the door of the post office. Lu Shiyi went inside to get the package himself, while Su Jin stood beside the bicycle and looked into the distance.
She found that no one went in or out of the alley where Grandpa Qiu and Grandma Qiu lived, and even the shack at the entrance of the alley was gone.
Lu Shiyi came out carrying a large package and tied it to the basket.
"Ayi, the alley where Grandpa Qiu lives is quiet now, and the shack at the entrance is gone." Su Jin whispered to Lu Shiyi.
After hearing her words, Lu Shiyi looked at the alley in the distance and his expression darkened slightly.
"Grandpa Qiu and the others are supposed to leave the day after tomorrow morning. Let's go closer to the alley and take a look." Seeing the worry in her eyes, Lu Shiyi had to compromise.
Su Jin walked beside Lu Shiyi with a smile on her face. As soon as she reached the entrance of the alley, she immediately covered her stomach.
"I want to go to the toilet." Su Jin remembered that there was a toilet in the alley, so she had to find an excuse to go in.
"Let's go!" Lu Shiyi glared at Su Jin angrily and had to follow her into the alley.
The alley is different from the past. All the shacks inside the alley have been demolished and cleaned up, leaving no trace.
Su Jin and Lu Shiyi walked inside and saw an old lady wearing a red armband coming out of a yard.
"Where are you going?" The old lady thought the two looked familiar and remembered that they had visited the old couple from the Qiu family. She whispered to them, "The Qiu family elders were sent on the train yesterday. People of high status are staying here, so they've cleared everyone out. Don't go any further."
"Grandma, my wife is pregnant and wanted to go to the toilet at the entrance of the alley." Lu Shiyi nodded at the old lady, "I accompanied my wife to the toilet and then left."
The old lady felt relieved after hearing this: "Then you should go quickly, otherwise someone will move in soon."
Su Jin hurriedly went inside to find a toilet. The old lady watched Su Jin leave, looked around the alley and saw that there was no one there, so she hurriedly took out a letter from her pocket and stuffed it into his hand.
"Before Old Qiu left, he sent a letter to my husband at night, saying he would give it to him if he came over." The old lady had worked as a maid in the Qiu family. The Qiu family was a kind family, and the old lady had taken good care of the two of them privately. "After Xiaoqiuzi left, their house was targeted."
"I will take care of you two." Lu Shiyi put the letter into his pocket, and the old lady stood aside with a stern face.
In less than a quarter of an hour, a young team member with a red armband came over and asked the old lady Lu Shiyi why she was there.
After the old lady explained that someone had gone to the toilet, he stood aside waiting for Su Jin to come out.
