Chapter 81 Confirmation of Pregnancy
Time Wei Dai stopped here for three seconds.
When Wen Jiajia finished speaking, his mind went blank until he was awakened by the creaking sound of Wen Chun and Wen Xuan pushing open the courtyard door.
His hands went limp and the bowl fell onto the table, with some rice spilling out.
But Wei Dai didn't have time to care. He finally found his voice and asked stupidly, "No, what did you just say?"
Wen Jiajia sighed and leaned back in her chair: "I said I seemed to be pregnant, but I'm not sure. Also, how could you be so stupid? It's completely different from what I imagined." Wouldn't he be so excited that he picked her up and spun around like crazy?
Wei Dai stood up suddenly, stared at her belly for a few seconds, and then the smile on his face gradually widened: "Really? What are you unsure about? I'm sure! You have a very accurate intuition, and I trust your intuition very much."
Then he came to Wen Jiajia, put his hands on the back of her head, and kissed her forehead several times.
He trembled and held Wen Jiajia's hand tightly: "Come on, let's go to the hospital for a check-up. You've been riding a bicycle to and from get off work recently, and you don't know how the child is. This road is really bad, so many people use it every day, and you don't need to repair it... Wait, let's eat first. You have to eat now even if you don't have an appetite. After eating, I'll go buy you some pickled black plums."
He was even talking incoherently. Wen Jiajia covered her forehead with her hands and said, "Don't be so nervous, okay?"
How can I not be nervous!
Wei Dai looked like a balloon that was being inflated wildly, round and floating, as if he was about to explode and fly into the sky.
"What are you doing, uncle?"
At this moment, Wen Chun came bounding in. Wei Dai finally had an outlet for the excitement in his heart. He turned around, picked up Wen Chun from the waist, and held her high up: "What are you doing? I'm happy!"
Wen Xuan exclaimed, "Wow!" and stamped her feet: "I want to play the game of holding high, too."
Wei Dai was full of energy, so he put Wen Chun down and picked up Wen Xuan, then urged, "Eat, eat, and go back to your room after eating. Your aunt and I have something to do tonight, so stay home obediently."
Wen Jiajia was speechless, picked up the chopsticks and said, "I'm hungry, I want to eat."
"Eat quickly." Wei Dai quickly picked up some food for her.
Knowing that she had no appetite for steamed fish, Wei Dai scooped two spoonfuls of spicy and sour tofu for her.
Sure enough, the tender tofu coated with red oil and exuding a sour and spicy flavor is really appetizing and is very good when mixed with rice.
The spicy and sour tofu whetted her appetite, so she could eat the steamed fish.
Wei Dai picked out the bones for her and kept saying, "We should have bought small yellow croaker today. The meat is tender and has fewer bones. I'll make yellow croaker noodles for you some other day."
You know what, Wen Jiajia really wants to eat yellow croaker noodles.
The last time she went on a business trip to Hai City, she had snow vegetable and yellow croaker noodles in a factory, and the taste still haunts her.
After dinner, Wei Dai was about to take her out.
He took a flashlight and a coat, and carefully supported her.
“…”
Wen Jiajia couldn't stand it anymore and said, "I mean, can you be more normal? I'm not an old person or a child who needs help to walk. I was walking just fine yesterday, the day before yesterday, and the day before yesterday."
Wei Dai put her hand on his chest: "Touch my heart, it feels like it's burning. I'm holding you for my own good. If I don't hold you, my legs will be weak and I won't be able to walk."
Wen Jiajia was speechless. It was clearly her who was suspected of being pregnant, so how could it be Wei Dai who was the abnormal one?
"Then don't be so obvious. It's like you're supporting the Queen Mother. Wouldn't people know there's something wrong with me?" Wen Jiajia took his arm directly. "Think about it carefully. Isn't there a saying that you can't publicize a pregnancy before three months?"
Wei Dai nodded quickly: "Yes, then let's walk slowly like this, don't be anxious, don't be anxious, keep your eyes on the road and don't be anxious."
I'm not in a hurry, it's you who is! Wen Jiajia was afraid that Wei Dai would get too anxious and fall down.
I met a lot of people along the way.
"Are you two going out for a walk?"
This is nonsense. Who would bring a flashlight when taking a walk at this time? You think your family has too much money, right?
Wen Jiajia laughed: "Let's go to the hospital."
"What are you going to the hospital for?" someone asked.
Wei Dai immediately responded: "It's been hot lately, and I don't have much appetite. Can you give me some stomach-strengthening soup?"
This is also nonsense.
The person who asked the question curled her lips, thinking that Wei Dai was just perfunctorily answering her. So, who has no appetite when eating now? If you have no appetite, it means you are not hungry enough. If you eat two more meals, your appetite will come back.
In other words, only a couple who are both paid can say such things. If it were someone else who said this, she would have spat and said that he was "pretending to be pretentious with a scallion stuffed in his nose."
More than ten minutes later, Wen Jiajia and Wei Dai arrived at the hospital.
This trip to the hospital took a really long time, mainly because Wei Dai turned into a master of obstacle removal on the road. He kicked all the scattered stones on the road to both sides and cleared them away completely.
There were not many people in the hospital, only doctors and nurses on duty, patients, and their families who came to take care of them.
Wen Jiajia suddenly remembered at this time, "It's not right. The doctors are off duty now. The doctors on duty only deal with emergencies. They probably won't check whether you are pregnant or not."
No one gave me a blood test.
Wei Dai: "Don't worry, I have a way."
Wei Dai took her around the main building of the hospital and came to a bungalow.
This bungalow is quite big. When you walk in, there are rooms on both sides of the corridor. There are 8 rooms on one side and 16 rooms on both sides. There are signs with the clinic numbers on them. It looks a bit like a doctor's clinic in a few decades.
Wei Dai knocked on one of the doors, and someone immediately said, "Come in."
Surprisingly, it was an old man with gray hair.
She must be over 70, right? Why should she be assigned to work at such an old age? Wen Jiajia complained a little about the hospital in her heart.
Wei Dai smiled and said, "Mr. Peng, please check my wife. She seems to be pregnant."
As he said this, he pulled the stool next to the table and asked Wen Jiajia to sit on it.
"Pregnant?" Peng Yikang smiled and said to Wen Jiajia, "Please stretch out your hand."
Looking at the pulse pillow on the table, Wen Jiajia understood that he was an old Chinese medicine doctor. That's right, there are two rows of cabinets in this room, which are obviously medicine cabinets.
She put her hand on the pillow.
After examining her left hand, let her switch to her right hand.
The whole process took less than a minute. Peng Yikang smiled and said, "Congratulations, you must be pregnant."
Wei Dai was anxious: "How can it be a rough estimate?"
Peng Yikang explained: "Because it's shallow, I can't feel it accurately. Generally, pregnancy can only be detected after 40 days. Even if you are sure you are pregnant, it's only a little over a month. I can only be sure after a few days."
Wen Jiajia nodded and said, yes, if she was pregnant, it must have only been a month and a few days. This old Chinese doctor really has something.
Wei Dai was still feeling nervous, but since Mr. Peng had said so, it was very likely that she was pregnant.
So he became happy again and asked Peng Yikang: "Is there anything my wife needs to pay attention to or avoid eating?"
Peng Yikang asked Wen Jiajia to put her hand up again. This time the examination took about three minutes: "Have you ever taken any medicine to regulate your body before?"
Wen Jiajia exclaimed in her heart, and nodded quickly: "Yeah! I caught a severe cold a few years ago, and I also had some stomach problems. I took medicine for a while, but I stopped taking it completely in the middle of last year. Will there be any impact?"
Peng Yikang: "Don't worry, it's okay. You should be more careful in the first three months and don't do strenuous exercise. Your previous doctor was very good and he cured the root of your illness. Otherwise, your pregnancy would not have been so easy."
Wei Dai was just full of joy at this moment, and asked again: "Can the bicycle be ridden?"
Peng Yikang: "You can ride, but be careful not to ride in a bumpy place. Don't ride once your belly gets bigger, because you will be more clumsy then."
Wen Jiajia breathed a sigh of relief, as she still had to go to work.
After leaving the clinic, Wei Dai asked Wen Jiajia to sit at the entrance of the main building of the hospital and wait. He looked at the duty roster and saw that Doctor Liu was on duty today, so he went to find him to buy some black plums.
The hospital was very quiet at night, and the noise during the day disappeared without a trace. The most common sound was footsteps, mixed with occasional coughs.
Wen Jiajia sat in a ventilated place with her hands on her abdomen, still a little dazed.
Wei Dai was excited, and in fact she was also excited in her heart.
It was hard not to be excited, after all, the baby was in her belly and would stay in her belly for nine months. The baby was conceived in her expectation, and she had a close relationship with the baby's father, so this was a happy thing for her.
The moonlight tonight is exceptionally bright, and the scenery ten meters away is illuminated with incredible clarity.
Soon, Wei Dai came running over with a jar of black plums.
Wei Dai said, "I bought two cans. She only has one for now. She will give us another one later."
Wen Jiajia took a look and said, "It's quite a big jar. It should last for a long time."
The jar was a glass jar of canned yellow peaches, and the label on it was still attached. Wen Jiajia opened it and smelled it, and her mouth watered instantly, knowing that this jar of pickled black plums was absolutely authentic.
The couple returned home slowly again.
On the way.
Wen Jiajia asked curiously, "Do you know Dr. Peng?"
Wei Dai: "Yeah. I...I was injured once before, and he helped me recover."
Wen Jiajia stopped and widened her eyes: "Injured?"
Wei Dai hurriedly explained: "It happened a long time ago, probably in my third year of military service. Although the injury was quite serious, fortunately there are no sequelae."
Wen Jiajia finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Indeed, Wei Dai is in very good health.
She began to walk around and asked the question in her heart: "Mr. Peng is so old and still on duty. This hospital is not doing well."
Wei Dai smiled and said, "Mr. Peng has worked in the hospital for many years. Later, because his son got into an accident, he was implicated and transferred to the countryside to work as a doctor. But that countryside is not far from Linhe, and the conditions are not bad. If we go there, we can get there in more than an hour by bicycle."
"After staying in the countryside for a few years, he was transferred back to the hospital. I heard that his son was also transferred back because of him, and now he works in the logistics department of our hospital. Because of this, the hospital couldn't take too much care of him, so they simply arranged for him to work three days a week. Anyway, there are beds in the clinic, and there is a toilet next to it. Once the curtains are drawn, it's no different from home."
Otherwise, why do people say that skills are popular? Even if a doctor with superb medical skills is demoted, he will only be assigned to work as a doctor in the countryside. Wen Jiajia immediately understood the importance of Mr. Peng. No matter how impressive a person is, he still needs to rely on doctors to save his life, so he dare not offend the doctor.
As they were talking, they returned home.
Wen Chun and Wen Xuan heard the noise and ran out. They looked at Wen Jiajia worriedly. Wen Chun asked, "Aunt, are you going to the hospital?"
Wen Jiajia was surprised: "How did you know?"
Wen Chun: "Little Fatty's mom just came to see you and asked if you hadn't returned from the hospital yet?"
Wen Jiajia thought about it and understood.
Someone must have seen her and Wei Dai in the hospital, and then somehow the news got to Sister Jin. Sister Jin happened to have something to look for her, and when she came home she found that she hadn't returned home yet.
"Do you know what Little Fatty's mother wants to talk to me about?" she asked again.
Wen Chun nodded: "Little Fatty's mother asked you to bring her two bags of salt and two bottles of beer tomorrow."
Wen Jiajia patted Wen Chun's head and said, "Okay! Don't worry, I'm going to the hospital for a checkup. You two are probably going to be sisters."
She thought it would be better to tell the two sisters about this matter as soon as possible.
After being together for such a long time, Wen Jiajia has already regarded Wen Chun and Wen Xuan as her own children, no different from her own biological children.
With them, Wen Jiajia was able to quickly cheer up and adapt to this time and space at the beginning of the journey. To her, the two children are also different and special.
Wen Xuan didn't react to her words and was still confused.
But Wen Chun immediately turned his gaze to her belly, his eyes sparkling: "Aunt, are you pregnant?"
Wen Jiajia felt that Wen Chun knew a lot. Just by her mentioning it, Wen Chun knew that she was pregnant.
"Yeah!" Wen Jiajia nodded heavily, "About, but I'm not sure yet."
Wen Chun's nose wrinkled. How could he not be sure of this?
Wen Xuan finally reacted at this time, with a look of surprise on her face. She gently placed her hand on her belly and touched it, then withdrew her hand as if she had received an electric shock. After a second or two, she touched it again.
She couldn't believe it: "I'm going to be a sister!"
After being used to being a younger sister, Wen Xuan finally became a older sister, and she actually found it a bit novel.
Wen Jiajia laughed: "Are you happy to be a big sister?"
Wen Xuan sneered: "I am not the youngest anymore, will you and your husband still like me?"
Wen Jiajia was speechless. "Of course! And what does my liking for you have to do with whether you are the youngest? I like you because of who you are. It has nothing to do with whether you are the oldest or the youngest. Just because I am older than you, does that mean I don't like you anymore?"
Wen Xuan shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes: "But my sister is the oldest."
Wen Jiajia understood what she meant. This girl was afraid that she was the second child stuck in the middle, neither big nor small, and she was afraid that her family would dislike her.
"No, no!" Wen Jiajia hugged her quickly, and also held Wen Chun in her arms, "Don't worry, my uncle-in-law and I will love you as much as we did before."
Wen Chun was originally quite happy, but in this situation, he was inevitably a little sad because of Wen Xuan. It took Wen Jiajia several minutes to comfort the two children.
Wei Dai silently carried the water to the bathroom. No one in the family had taken a shower yet.
It's almost eight o'clock now, and I don't know if I can finish washing the clothes before the power goes out.
One hour later.
I hurried and finally finished washing the clothes before the power went out.
Before going to bed, the two excited people had completely calmed down their emotions.
Wei Dai touched her belly and said, "We need to take out the crib we made earlier, wash it and dry it in the sun."
Wen Jiajia laughed: "There's no need to be so early."
If it really exists, it would be about the size of a soybean.
Wei Dai sighed: "You don't understand, time flies by after a child is born."
He often saw pregnant wives in the army. The last time he saw her, the baby was still in her belly and her belly was only slightly protruding. The next time he saw her, she had already given birth and was already one month pregnant.
Wen Jiajia: "Silly boy, time is objective. No matter how fast you think it goes, nine months is still nine months."
She was really afraid that her child’s IQ would be like Wei Dai’s.
How come she was the one who got pregnant and he was the one who became stupid?
But this is also good. The brain is a good thing, and a smart brain is an even better thing. Wen Jiajia must protect her smart and flexible brain.
——
Ten days later, the two went to the hospital again, and this time they were officially diagnosed.
The days after the diagnosis went on as usual, except that Wei Dai started collecting all kinds of coupons, especially cloth coupons and meat coupons, and he was almost becoming the kind of person that everyone disliked.
Some people even joked to Wen Jiajia: "Other people's first question when they meet is 'Have you eaten?', but your Wei Dai's first question when they meet is 'Do you have a ticket?' I will run away when I see him now."
What else can Wen Jiajia do?
I could only laugh awkwardly.
Then he went home, grabbed Wei Dai's ears and sternly ordered him not to borrow tickets anymore.
Thanks to Wei Dai, many people already knew that she was pregnant.
In his words, "This matter cannot be concealed. The sisters-in-law and aunts in the army have better eyes than Old Peng. They can't diagnose other diseases, but they can tell for sure whether the woman is pregnant or not."
He had only recently realized that this kind of thing often happened in the army.
Wei Dai also said: "Meat coupons are a necessity, you need to supplement your nutrition. Cloth coupons are also a necessity. Children born in winter not only need more cloth for clothes, but also need to prepare more diapers."
It won't do anything to prevent it, right?
Wen Jiajia suppressed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
If she can't get the meat, how can she get the cloth?
Wait until she buys some cotton and then you can make as many diapers as you want.
This is the good thing about the synthesis system. Two kilograms of cotton can produce five kilograms of cloth, and energy is extremely non-conservative.
Because of her pregnancy, Wen Jiajia has to get up earlier every day to go to work.
There is no way. We can no longer ride a bike the same way as before. We have to ride at the speed of an electric bike.
On this day, my belly had just turned three months old, and Lin Yunfei came to me with the latest news.
As soon as Lin Yunfei entered the room, she asked her, "Are you pregnant?"
Wen Jiajia was shocked: "You can tell that! Wait, you're not even married, how did you tell that?"
Lin Yunfei laughed: "My mother saw you when she delivered something to me yesterday, and she told me that you were pregnant in the evening."
Wen Jiajia sighed: "I don't understand how you guys figured it out." If it were her, she wouldn't be able to figure it out even if she blinded her eyes.
Lin Yunfei sat down and said, "It's normal for my mother to see this. After all, she is a police officer."
"By the way, I'm here to talk to you about something serious." Lin Yunfei suddenly became serious, "I think... I think what you said last time might be true."
Wen Jiajia was a little slow to react at first, and only realized half a second later that Lin Yunfei was referring to Lu Yiyuan.
"What do you mean?" she asked hurriedly.
Lin Yunfei frowned: "I told my parents about this when I got home that day. They thought it was ridiculous. At first they were unwilling to spend time to help me find someone to investigate. Later, I begged them again and again before they agreed."
Wen Jiajia nodded. This was normal. After all, any normal person would think such speculation was ridiculous.
"My dad has a friend who works in He Province. The Wanggang you mentioned is not in the same city. But fortunately it's right next door, not too far away, and even closer to Xincheng County."
Wen Jiajia immediately poured some tea to moisten her mouth.
Lin Yunfei was immediately impressed and took a sip: "My father entrusted me with this, so he took it to heart. But my uncle has other things on hand, and it has been more than a month since he finished his work."
Wen Jiajia thought, this is normal, the police also have cases and tasks to do. If it is busy, it is possible to be busy for two or three months.
"It was a coincidence. Half a month ago, he encountered a case that crossed the city and had to go to Wanggang. When he was returning from the case, he stopped in Xincheng to rest and checked the company you mentioned."
"My uncle said that the Li family is quite famous in the local area. There are two promising children in the family. One is an officer in the army, and the other works in a city factory and is also a small leader."
Wen Jiajia moved her chair forward, rested her chin on her hand, and listened with fascination.
"Oh, the Li family has three children. The eldest, the naughty uncle you mentioned, is said to be serving his parents in his hometown, but his reputation is average because he is considered lazy in the village. Fortunately, the second and third children are both promising and send money home every month... Well, he just lives with his parents, and his daily life is better than those who work hard in the fields to earn work points."
"This uncle has three children, the first two are sons, and the last one is a daughter. My uncle has confirmed that his daughter and Comrade Lu's son were indeed born on the same day. This incident is also well-known in the village, because the two sisters-in-law gave birth to their children at the same time. It was at night and it was raining heavily that day. They couldn't find a doctor even if they wanted to go to the commune. Fortunately, their mother-in-law was a midwife. After busying herself with this and that, she delivered the baby."
What a coincidence, Wen Jiajia thought.
"You know, in that case, the sisters-in-law must give birth in the same room."
Wen Jiajia nodded again, because there was only one midwife, so why would she have to run back and forth between the two rooms?
"So exchanging children is actually very convenient."
Wen Jiajia frowned: "I have a question. How can we be sure that Comrade Lu gave birth to a girl? Is it just a coincidence that the two of them not only started at the same time but also gave birth at the same time, one after the other, a boy and a girl, and their mother-in-law suddenly had an idea and committed the crime?"
"Hey!" Lin Yunfei clapped her hands, "Here comes the key point. According to my uncle's investigation, Comrade Lu was not in good health because she was often with the project. She also participated in the work of digging the reservoir, and her body had severe cold symptoms. The hospital has all the records. Comrade Lu gave birth to the child first that day. She bled after giving birth and fainted. The Li family called the neighbors to take her to the hospital. But as I said before, it was raining, and in the end, the team drove a tractor to take her to the hospital. This is another reason why the villagers remember this incident so closely."
Wen Jiajia understood everything and took a deep breath: "So that means the child was left at home after it was born?"
Lin Yunfei nodded twice: "This matter is actually quite easy to investigate, after all, there are many people who know about it. The uncle and his wife are not very kind to the child, but they are particularly kind to their nephew, that naughty child. People in the village also said that the child looks a bit like his uncle. His uncle also publicly said that his nephew looks like him, which is why he likes him more.
After giving birth and recovering from her illness, Comrade Lu returned to work. She would give her family an extra sum of money every month, and would buy meat and eggs for her sister-in-law every now and then, because she said she could help her breastfeed her child... When the villagers heard about this, they were so jealous that their eyes turned red.
"But later, after they raised their nephew to be plump and white, and their own daughter to be as thin as a bamboo pole, their reputation improved a lot. People said that they were kind-hearted and loyal, and that they cared about their brothers and sisters. Otherwise, why would their nephew call them mom and dad? It was obvious that they were not just pretending to be nice. After all, children know best whether they are really nice or fake."
"Oh, there is another thing that is also crucial. In the past two years, their daughter has been raised at my aunt's family home for more than half a year. They said that the child's grandmother liked her very much. If you look into this carefully, isn't it a bit strange? If the child's grandmother really liked the child, why would she raise her to be skinny?"
Wen Jiajia almost vomited after hearing this.
It's not morning sickness, it's vomiting caused by disgust.
She decided to tell Comrade Lu about this matter when she got back. If it was false, then it was false. It didn't matter if it was embarrassing.
But if it was true, Wen Jiajia would have felt guilty if she had told them the story sooner and exposed the couple's immoral behavior, allowing them to be carefree for a longer period of time.
Lin Yunfei sighed: "You should have told Comrade Lu earlier. There must be cats in here. My uncle also said so. But the police can't be sure about this matter. They can't just go and say that your family must have swapped children. Well, Comrade Lu is often away from home for work, and he is in Lushan. If he jumps out to take a look, he will notice something is wrong."
Even someone like Wen Jiajia who just listened to a few words of the conversation could notice something wrong. I don’t understand why the villagers couldn’t notice it.
Wen Jiajia said resolutely: "Speak! I will definitely speak."
As soon as the words fell: "Yue——"
Finally, she couldn't help but vomit.
Lin Yunfei was so scared that she jumped up like a cat and hurriedly brought her a spittoon.
No way, the reaction is so big.
