After the New Year, time seems to pass a lot faster.
There was still not much snow, but it was better than the previous two years, with snowflakes occasionally floating in the sky.
But it melted as soon as it hit the ground. The weather was not as cold as in Northeast China, but it was still difficult to fall asleep at night without heating the kang.
After a period of bustling activity after the Chinese New Year, the family compound gradually returned to peace.
In March, Gu Qingbei received an order to lead troops on a mission, and his return date was uncertain.
This is a military order and cannot be changed for personal reasons.
Jiang Mengxue understood the nature of his job and didn't say anything.
Gu Qingbei took some time to go home, explained things to his family and was about to leave.
Jiang Mengxue looked at Gu Qingbei with eyes full of reluctance. Seeing this, Li Cuiying took Mo Bao out and left the space in the house to the couple.
Gu Qingbei felt full of apologies. He had not expected to go on a mission at this juncture. In his position, he did not need to lead people on a mission personally.
However, due to Qi Jiajun's command mistakes, everything in the army was decided by Deputy Commander Yang Qingfeng, and Qi Jiajun was temporarily suspended and returned to Kyoto to receive punishment.
Gu Qingbei had to clean up the mess. Because the matter was serious, he couldn't let his subordinates handle it.
"I'll try to come back before your due date. In fact, I was planning to send you to the military district hospital at the headquarters. My mother is there, and both the hospital conditions and the doctors' experience are better.
After all, this place is not a health center. We can handle minor ailments, but I'm not sure if it's for major surgeries."
Although Jiang Mengxue had thought so, Luan Huiying and the obstetrics and gynecology expert would come over when her due date came, and her current condition was not suitable for a long journey.
"Don't worry about me. I know what's going on. You have to come back safely. If you really encounter danger, you must hide immediately. There are many bulletproof vests in the space. Remember to put them on."
Gu Qingbei was well aware that hiding in space was the safest option when necessary.
But Jiang Mengxue was still worried and kept reminding him again and again.
They had just taken some time to come back, and after they exchanged a few words, Gu Qingbei walked forward and gently held the person in his arms, touching her bulging belly and whispering instructions.
"Take care of yourself, and baby, take care of mom and don't make too much noise."
"Well, let's go and come back safely."
Watching the people walking further and further away, Xie Yu'an was left to take care of the family, and Guan Dapeng took him away.
Back in the house, Jiang Mengxue thought about General Qi's wife Ning Dehua, who had a big fight at home some time ago and packed up and left that night.
Jiang Mengxue didn't have much contact with this person. Every time she met him outside, she would just say hello at most. Most of the time, Ning Dehua would just look at her and snort before walking away.
From the beginning, she knew that this person was not on the same path as her, so Jiang Mengxue was just doing it to save face. She didn't care about the other party's attitude at all.
It's not like everyone is blind. Ning Dehua looks down on the people in the family compound, so naturally no one will come to him over time.
Only Yang Chuyue from the art troupe would come to visit occasionally. The two of them were considered relatives and got along pretty well.
Ning Dehua is the eldest daughter of Ning Guofeng's third wife, and Yang Chuyue's sister-in-law is Ning Dehua's second sister with the same father and mother.
In addition, Yang Chuyue's aunt is Ning Guofeng's fourth wife and the legitimate one now. Ning Dehua and her two younger sisters grew up with this stepmother, so they have a close relationship with the Yang family.
Perhaps because he knew that Yang Chuyue was interested in Gu Qingbei, Ning Dehua didn't have a good impression of Jiang Mengxue.
Every time I meet Jiang Mengxue outside, she always looks at her strangely.
Could it be that the couple quarreled because of this incident?
Ning Dehua's father holds a high position, so it is normal for him to know the news about many things in advance.
So she knew what Qi Jiajun had done that caused her to quarrel and leave at this time.
After a while, Jiang Mengxue learned from Wang Yajun that Qi Jiajun had returned to the capital. Ning Dehua immediately filed for divorce and the divorce was completed quickly. Among the children, only the youngest daughter was taken away.
Presumably, what Qi Jiajun did was not a small crime, but the specific details were confidential, and even the deputy commander's wife didn't know.
As a soldier and also a soldier's family member, Wang Yajun naturally knows what can be said and what absolutely cannot be revealed, even if the other party is also a soldier's family member.
The days passed one by one, and Jiang Mengxue was worried but couldn't show it.
She knew that both her second uncle and her second mother had the same mentality. Only Mobao was still so innocent, eating, sleeping, and eating again all day long.
Calm days make people feel uneasy. An inexplicable panic hangs over Jiang Mengxue's head, which is hard to explain.
There has been no news from Gu Qingbei. Jiang Mengxue occasionally receives letters to assure him that he is safe, but there is no other unnecessary information.
This made Jiang Mengxue feel a little uneasy, but as long as there was news, it was a good thing, wasn't it?
Two months passed quickly, and Luan Huiying and two other doctors arrived ahead of schedule.
At this time, Jiang Mengxue was more than seven months pregnant and almost eight months pregnant. It was very inconvenient for her to move around. She needed someone to help her every time she sat down or stood up.
Li Cuiying also stayed in Jiang Mengxue's room at night so that she could help when she got up at night. Otherwise, it would be difficult for Jiang Mengxue to turn over.
Even people who often see her would marvel at the exaggerated size of her belly, not to mention Luan Huiying who saw her for the first time and the two experienced obstetricians and gynecologists behind her.
The clothes Jiang Mengxue was wearing at the moment were all made later. Her previous clothes couldn't fit her at all, so now she could only wear a skirt which was more convenient.
"My God, your belly is so big. Are you feeling any discomfort or anything particularly uncomfortable during the late stages of pregnancy?"
Luan Huiying's heart was pounding. She could give birth at any time at this time. She couldn't help but feel lucky that she came early. If it was next month, the baby might have been born already.
Seeing that they were still carrying their luggage and looked exhausted, Jiang Mengxue quickly asked them to go home and wash up first, and then deal with anything after they had a good rest.
Luan Huiying nodded. Seeing that she was indeed fine, she was not in a hurry. After all, there were colleagues around, and it was still polite to ask them to come over for help.
"Lao Liu, Lao Qin, let's go back and have some rest first, and then go to the health center tomorrow."
They came here not just for Jiang Mengxue's matter.
The establishment of a family compound also means that the number of departments in the health center will increase.
The simplest thing is to have gynecological and pediatric experts. Just like in Jiang Mengxue's case, when she is pregnant and giving birth, or when she has gynecological or pediatric diseases, she needs to have a corresponding doctor.
The two people who came with us this time are experts in this field.
Liu Wanping is very good at pediatrics. Many newborn or premature babies have grown up healthily after being treated by her.
Qin Lanyan specializes in gynecology and obstetrics, and is particularly adept at caesarean sections, with very few failure records.
