Chapter 195 What a coincidence!
After talking for almost an hour, the examination report finally came out.
Dr. Jiang took a look at it, smiled and said, "Congratulations, you're going to be parents."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Si and Huo Tingzhou exchanged a glance.
They had already guessed the outcome on the way here, but at this moment they still couldn't control their excitement.
"Thank you, Dr. Jiang," the two said in unison.
Dr. Jiang waved his hand, "You're too kind."
Knowing that Commander Huo wasn't that kind of person, Dr. Jiang still had to give the two of them a brief explanation, as was customary.
She had encountered several cases before where young couples came for checkups happily the day before.
Two days later, the child was gone.
She only found out after asking that the man had hit her.
When asked why he hit her, the man brazenly replied, "She cheated on me with another man; I'm already being lenient by not killing her."
He added, "I only had sex with her at the end of the month, and she's almost two months pregnant. What else could she be but cheating on me?"
So from then on, Dr. Jiang had to explain all of this properly.
"The number of days of pregnancy is not determined by the date of intercourse, but by the first day of the last menstrual period."
“Your wife had her period on the 2nd of last month. Based on the date, she is about a month and a half pregnant now.”
"It's not very meaningful to have an ultrasound at this stage of pregnancy. If you want to hear the fetal heartbeat, you can come next month, then it will be clearer."
After saying this, Dr. Jiang looked at Jiang Si and said, "Your physical data are all quite good, but you still need to be careful during the first three months. Don't overwork yourself, and remember not to have sex."
"Just make sure you get enough nutrition, don't take unnecessary supplements, and don't eat too much."
"Otherwise, the child will suffer more when giving birth later in life."
"Pay more attention to your health, avoid getting chilled, and if you feel unwell, go to the hospital promptly. Don't take medicine at home without consulting a doctor."
"Most importantly, keep a cheerful mood."
"Knock knock knock—"
Just then, there was a knock on the door. "Dr. Jiang."
This voice sounds so familiar.
Jiang Si subconsciously looked over, "Sister-in-law Xu?"
"Hey, you guys are here too..."
Their eyes met, and both of them were stunned for a moment: What a coincidence!
Seeing that Huo Tingzhou was holding a report, Deputy Regiment Commander Lei walked straight over to him.
"The test results are out?"
"Yes, I'm a month and a half pregnant."
As he said this, the corners of Huo Tingzhou's mouth unconsciously began to turn up.
Thinking about what his wife had said on the way, he nudged Deputy Regiment Commander Lei's arm.
"So you have good news too?"
Deputy Regiment Commander Lei touched his nose somewhat awkwardly, "It shouldn't be... that fast."
"snort!"
Xu Mingjuan couldn't help but glare at him.
She said those words just half an hour ago.
But this person went crazy and insisted on coming to the hospital for a checkup.
He was unhappy when I told him I would come for the check-up a few days later, and he even carried me out of the room.
Fortunately, everyone was cooking at this time.
Otherwise, if those older women saw it, they'd laugh at us to death.
Deputy Regiment Commander Lei felt a little guilty after being glared at.
Thinking that the doctor might ask some private questions later, he said to Huo Tingzhou.
"Let's go outside and chat for a bit."
Huo Tingzhou glanced at his wife and then nodded.
After the two grown men went to the corridor, Jiang Si looked over with a look of surprise and delight.
"Sister-in-law, are you pregnant?"
"I'm not sure either."
Xu Mingjuan frankly said, "My period has never been very regular. It used to come three to five days early every month, and I couldn't get it to stay regular no matter what I tried."
"I don't know what happened this month, it was postponed."
Although it was only delayed by one day, it was still delayed nonetheless.
"I originally said I would come a couple of days later, but Lao Lei disagreed and insisted on coming to take a look."
"That's because Deputy Commander Lei cares about you," Jiang Si said with a smile.
That's true. Xu Mingjuan said, "We didn't have any expectations. We just came here for a check-up."
After saying that, she looked at Dr. Jiang rather apologetically and said, "Dr. Jiang, could you please take a look at me?"
"Why are you being so polite with me?"
For the past few years, Xu Mingjuan has been receiving treatment at a military hospital, and no one understands her physical condition better than Dr. Jiang.
Dr. Jiang was quite surprised to hear that her period was delayed this month.
"Besides your period being a day late, are there any other symptoms you're experiencing?"
"For example, feeling sleepy, weak, frequent urination, or a sudden change in appetite."
Xu Mingjuan: "Everything else is fine, but I've been feeling lower back pain these past two days."
At first, she thought she had twisted her waist, but later she realized that it wasn't a twist, but rather a backache.
She paused, then added, "I've been gagging a bit when I brush my teeth in the mornings these past two days."
Dr. Jiang then asked a few more personal questions.
Xu Mingjuan told the whole story.
"Dr. Jiang, given my situation, is it possible that I'm pregnant?"
She found it funny after asking the question.
Last month, the doctor announced that her condition had improved, and she was already thinking that everything would be perfect in one fell swoop.
Dr. Jiang's tone was as gentle as ever, "Considering your symptoms and the fact that your period is delayed, this could indeed be good news."
"But it's too early in the pregnancy, so the urine test results might not be accurate."
"Besides, at this time, the people in the lab should have already left work."
Xu Mingjuan nodded.
She had said this to her husband Lei before she came, but he was very stubborn.
After saying a few more words, she got up to leave.
At this moment, Dr. Jiang called her over. Like Hu Meili, she also stared at Xu Mingjuan for a long time.
However, she wasn't as straightforward as Hu Meili.
He first comforted her with a few words, and then said, "Dr. Li from the Traditional Chinese Medicine department should still be on duty. His pulse-taking skills are a family tradition."
"If you really want to know the answer, go and have him take a look for you."
"Okay, I understand."
As soon as I stepped out of the room, two men in the hallway hurried over.
"How is it going?" Deputy Commander Lei asked.
Xu Mingjuan shook her head, "The doctor said the pregnancy is too early, and the urine test results won't be accurate."
After saying that, he repeated Dr. Jiang's words verbatim.
"Should we take a look?" Deputy Commander Lei wasn't just trying to put his mind at ease.
He felt that his wife had been noticeably anxious these past few days.
Instead of overthinking like this, it's better to just cut it off and be done with it.
Jiang Si only said four words to this: "Since we're already here."
A few minutes later, the group knocked on the door of the innermost room on the west side of the second floor.
The door opened, and inside sat an elderly man with gray hair.
After hearing the purpose of their visit, the old man raised his chin and said, "You two, please sit down."
Jiang Si was taken aback. Did she want to sit down too?
But seeing the old man's serious expression, she sat down without saying a word.
Before the group could speak, the old man said again, "You two, reach out your hands."
This time, Jiang Si didn't hesitate and obediently reached out her hand.
Old Li closed his eyes and focused his mind, placing the pads of his fingers on the wrists of the two men, one on each side.
A moment later, Old Li's fingertips paused almost imperceptibly.
He frowned and increased the pressure on his fingers.
This was repeated several times before Old Li looked up at the two people in front of him—
The baby's formal name was decided before this article was published, but we haven't decided on a nickname yet.
Liu Yifei and Daniel Wu, who are reading books, feel free to leave a comment if you have any good nicknames for them.
We won't have many children, we won't have many children, we won't have many children—I'll say it three times because it's important!
Also, the female lead won't give up her career or become a housewife just because she has a child.
There are just things to be done at each stage.
At this stage, the female protagonist has both money and time, so it's perfectly normal for her to have a child for fun, right?
