The Yangcheng Railway Station was packed with people. As they were carrying so much luggage, it took a lot of effort for the group to squeeze through the ticket gate and onto the train.
Fortunately, He Ting and Shen Junqian were both very skilled, and Su Changyao was also tall and strong, so they protected Tao Xiaotong and Lu Baiwei who was holding the child, and finally squeezed onto the train.
When we got to the sleeper car, it became much quieter.
Although Shen Junqian was protecting her all the time, Tao Xiaotong was exhausted from squeezing into the train. By the time she sat on the berth, her face was extremely pale.
“Drink some water!”
Shen Junqian quickly turned on the kettle and asked her to drink some water.
The kettle was bought in Pengcheng. Unlike ordinary cups, this cup is like a small thermos and can keep things warm.
The hot water I filled up at the hotel when I set out was still hot.
Shen Junqian poured the water in the kettle onto the cup lid and handed it to Tao Xiaotong.
Tao Xiaotong blew the water to cool it down a little, and after taking a gulp of warm water, she felt warm in her stomach and felt much better.
"I feel much better."
Lu Baiwei held Chengcheng and squeezed onto the train, and nothing happened.
Afraid that her companions would think she was being too pretentious, Tao Xiaotong smiled apologetically.
She had just waved her hands to say that everything was fine, but suddenly she felt overwhelmed again. She couldn't help but dry heave and almost vomited the acid in her stomach.
"Did you catch a cold?"
Ever since he got seasick and vomited on the cruise ship in Shekou that day, Tao Xiaotong has been retching when he gets up these past two days.
She has a weak spleen and stomach.
Shen Junqian was worried that she had caught a cold, so he hurriedly rummaged through her luggage bag to find medicine for her.
However, Lu Baiwei felt that Tao Xiaotong did not look like she had caught a cold, so she asked He Ting to carry Cheng Cheng over and took Tao Xiaotong's pulse.
When Shen Junqian found the medicine in the luggage bag, Lu Baiwei, who was holding Tao Xiaotong's wrist, shook her head at him.
Lu Baiwei asked Tao Xiaotong: "How long have you been like this?"
"I've been feeling sick and retching since I came to Pengcheng, and I felt even worse after getting seasick on the cruise that day."
Lu Baiwei nodded: "That's right, you are pregnant, but it's still early."
Because there were no plans to have children for the time being, Tao Xiaotong was always very careful when sleeping with Shen Junqian.
At this moment, Lu Baiwei said that she was pregnant, and Tao Xiaotong blushed.
"Isn't this possible?"
Ignoring the dumbfounded Shen Junqian, Tao Xiaotong asked curiously, "Can you tell if you're pregnant even though the pregnancy is early in the month?"
"Don't doubt my professional ability. I learned the pulse diagnosis technique from Grandpa Shen."
"Grandpa Shen's special skill is pulse diagnosis. He is well-known in our county hospital for this technique. Ask your brother Jun Qian. It was Grandpa Shen who diagnosed the triplets in my belly."
Now Tao Xiaotong no longer had any doubts.
Although this child came unexpectedly and was not in her and Shen Junqian's plan, Tao Xiaotong felt indescribable joy when she thought about becoming a mother.
She even subconsciously touched her belly, as if feeling the magic of life.
Shen Junqian was as surprised as she was.
She and Tao Xiaotong had already obtained a marriage certificate, and they took the time to hold their wedding ceremony a few years ago, which was the perfect time for them to have a child.
Moreover, his grandfather came to Beijing to attend his wedding a few years ago, saying that he would retire in half a year. The people he missed, his grandchildren and their wives, and Lu Baiwei were all in Beijing, so he planned to live in Beijing in his old age.
Tao Xiaotong has relatives in Beijing, but Tao's father, mother, and brother are now working in other provinces.
After witnessing Tang Yunling's pregnancy and seeing what the Zhou family and the old Tang family did, Shen Junqian was thinking about how to take care of the pregnant Tao Xiaotong.
In fact, his grandfather should have retired last year, but the county hospital tried hard to retain him and delayed his retirement by one year.
Given his grandfather's situation, it is not impossible for him to complete the retirement procedures early.
If Xiaotong had her grandfather, a master of traditional Chinese medicine, by her side, she would have been well taken care of during her pregnancy.
The train headed north. After one more station, Su Changyao was about to get off, so Shen Junqian made a temporary decision.
"Xiaotong, do you want to go back to the provincial capital to see your parents?"
"We just met them when they came to Beijing for their wedding before the New Year."
Having said that, Tao Xiaotong was filled with joy at the thought of seeing her parents soon.
Anyway, there are still four or five days left before school starts.
I got off the train and stayed in the provincial capital for a night or two, then returned to Beijing just in time for the start of school.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m pregnant and I’m greedy, but Tao Xiaotong misses her mother’s cooking very much.
Shen Junqian said that she could get off the bus halfway and go to the provincial capital to visit her parents.
Tao Xiaotong was very happy: "Then let's get off with Master Su?"
"Well, go down with Master Su."
Shen Junqian not only planned to get off the bus with Su Changyao, he also planned to accompany Su Changyao by bus from the provincial capital to the county town to discuss early retirement with Mr. Shen.
I heard that Shen Junqian really planned to get off at the provincial capital station ahead and go home with her to see her parents.
Tao Xiaotong was so happy that she was silly.
Regardless of the fact that everyone was watching, she hugged Shen Junqian and said, "Shen Junqian, you are so good to me."
It's so disgusting and unbearable to watch.
Xiao Chengzi, who was held by Lu Baiwei, turned his head and looked at the scenery outside through the car window.
Seeing that the little guy almost covered his eyes, He Ting and Lu Baiwei couldn't help laughing.
Soon they arrived at the provincial capital railway station. When Tao Xiaotong and Shen Junqian got off the train, Lu Baiwei gave them some instructions.
"Be careful, don't get squeezed."
Lu Baiwei instructed her: "You can just follow Brother Shen empty-handed, and Brother Shen will carry the luggage."
"You must be careful in the first three months."
Tao Xiaotong was very happy that she would be able to see her parents soon.
"Okay, thank you Sister Weiwei."
"Then see you in the capital when school starts!"
The train station was too crowded, luckily Shen Junqian was there to protect us, and Su Changyao could also help look after us.
While in the car, Lu Baiwei gave Tao Xiaotong some dried plums, tangerine peel, sugar, salt and ginger to eat to suppress her nausea and vomiting feelings.
Now that she had squeezed out of the car and breathed in the fresh air, she felt much better.
Su Changyao was about to take a bus to the bus station and transfer to the county town where Lu Baiwei's uncle lived, but Shen Junqian stopped him.
"Master Su, if you rush to the bus station now, you may not be able to catch the last bus."
Shen Junqian suggested: "You come with me to Xiaotong's house and stay for one night. Tomorrow morning, I will go to the county town with you."
"I will go back to the county tomorrow and discuss with grandpa about letting him retire from the county hospital early."
Shen Junqian explained to Tao Xiaotong: "You are pregnant, and with your grandfather, a master of traditional Chinese medicine, by your side, you don't have to worry about anything going wrong."
Tao Xiaotong was puzzled. Didn't he say he would accompany her back to her parents' home? Why did he have to go to the county town?
Knowing that Shen Junqian had considered her to this extent and had a sudden idea to let Mr. Shen retire early and move to Beijing, Tao Xiaotong was deeply moved. She also tried her best to invite Su Changyao to stay at her house for one night.
"Master Su, please stay at my house. Shen Junqian will accompany you back to the county town tomorrow morning. When we get there, ask him to find someone to send you to the Xiangyang Brigade."
