Ye Zhaozhao had Zhou Jiashu carry Zhao Hong into the house, examined her, and then told her what happened.
"You'll have to wait a while longer before you give birth."
Zhao Hong breathed a sigh of relief. She thought the severe abdominal pain meant she was about to give birth, and she was worried that something might happen to the baby inside her.
"My stomach started hurting before I was about to give birth. Is the baby okay?"
Seeing how nervous she was, Ye Zhaozhao told her to relax.
"It's normal to experience contractions before your due date; these are called Braxton Hicks contractions. Don't be too nervous."
After hearing Ye Zhaozhao's words, Zhao Hongxin was completely relieved. Zhou Jiashu, upon hearing that everything was alright, carried Zhao Hongxin back to rest.
After everyone finished eating the peach shortbread, they left. Ye Zhaozhao tidied up the gifts she had brought for everyone and went to give them to Sun Xiuhua first.
"Zhaozhao, you're finally back! We've all missed you."
“I miss you all too, Sister-in-law Sun. This is some shampoo I brought for everyone, one pack for each person. You can share it with everyone later.”
Sun Xiuhua has never used this product before. She usually uses bar soap, and it's already a good thing that she can use bar soap. There aren't many people in this residential compound who can afford shampoo.
"I've heard this shampoo is great for washing hair, so I'll try it today."
The two chatted for a while longer before Ye Zhaozhao went home. That night, after Tuantuan and Yuanyuan had fallen asleep, Gu Yunduan came over.
After not seeing each other for two months, Ye Zhaozhao missed Gu Yunduan, so she simply let him have his way, and the two of them didn't go to sleep until the early hours of the morning.
The next day, Tuantuan and Yuanyuan were sent to the nursery. Gu Yunduan went to the military region, leaving breakfast for her on the table: two eggs, steamed buns, and millet porridge.
After eating and drinking her fill, Ye Zhaozhao went to work at the hospital. Although the hospital director said he was willing to let her go for training, he was still a little worried.
He was worried that Ye Zhaozhao would be too busy to come to work at the hospital, but seeing her come to work now made him smile so hard his crow's feet appeared.
"Dr. Ye, there haven't been many patients lately, you should take a rest. If there's anything, just let Director Xue and Section Chief Lu handle it."
"Understood, Dean."
The happiest people to see Ye Zhaozhao return were Xue Qi and Lu Moxuan, and Ye Zhaozhao gave them the gifts she had brought for them.
Xue Qi received cosmetics from Pechoin, while Lu Moxuan received a fountain pen. Both of them were very happy to receive their gifts.
Just then, a woman carrying a child came in.
"Doctor, my child has a persistent fever."
Xue Qi immediately took the child for a check-up. After the check-up, she handed the child over to Ye Zhaozhao, who began to examine the child. Suddenly, a nurse rushed out.
"Director Xue, you can't bully people just because you're the director. My patient has been waiting in line for a long time, and I have to see him first today."
Ye Zhaozhao was a well-known good doctor at the hospital, so many people waited for her to come back for a check-up after they knew she was gone. This patient was one of them.
"Nurse Jiang, I'm fine. Let's take care of the child first."
Since the patient had already said that, Jiang Xiaomin didn't know what else to say. She rolled her eyes at Xue Qi and Ye Zhaozhao, and then remained silent. Ye Zhaozhao, however, wouldn't tolerate her behavior.
"I am a doctor, and it is my freedom to treat patients. If you want to see them, then see them; if you don't want to see them, then get out."
Jiang Xiaomin never expected Ye Zhaozhao to say that. No one had ever been so fierce to her since she was a child.
I felt very wronged for a moment, thinking to myself, wasn't she doing it for the patient's own good?
The child only had a common cold and fever, plus tonsillitis, so Ye Zhaozhao prescribed medicine for both of them.
The woman thanked her and left with her child.
Jiang Xiaomin left early, still angry. Ye Zhaozhao ignored her and continued seeing patients until everyone was gone, at which point Ye Zhaozhao finally asked Xue Qi.
"Is this Nurse Jiang new?"
"Yes, but she got in through connections. I heard her family is powerful and influential, and even the hospital director has to give her face."
Jiang Xiaomin disregarded Xue Qi, the director, precisely because of this; otherwise, how could a nurse dare to yell at the director?
“She’s been here for five days, and every day it’s either this or that. Nobody in our hospital likes her.”
With Jiang Xiaomin's personality, it would be strange if she didn't offend people.
Ye Zhaozhao was thinking about expanding the farm, so she wrote a report to Director Cui. In addition to expanding the farm, she also wanted to raise ducks.
Ducks and rabbits are suitable to be raised together. Ye Zhaozhao spent three days writing a report. After seeing the report, Commander Cui had a lot of confidence in Ye Zhaozhao.
I believe she can run the farm well. The matter of purchasing ducks can be left to the logistics department of the military region. Ye Zhaozhao and the others can just take care of raising them.
Ye Zhaozhao left the military office and went home to her family compound. She saw Su Lingling dressed up in a flamboyant manner and then took a boat to the county town.
With nothing else to do, Ye Zhaozhao went to find Sun Xiuhua.
"Zhaozhao, I bought some seafood and seaweed from the fishermen. Take some back with you."
"good."
"Sister-in-law Sun, does Su Lingling go out often? I just saw her go on a boat."
The purchasing vehicle only goes to the county town once every two weeks, so she has to take a boat instead. Speaking of this, Sun Xiuhua seemed to remember something.
“People in the family compound have seen her go out often. Zhao Zhao, have you noticed that Su Lingling is dressed better than before?”
Not only her clothes, but Su Lingling has been eating meat almost every day for the past two months. Everyone thinks she's going crazy, that she can't live like this every day.
Ye Zhaozhao sensed that something was wrong with Su Lingling, but before she could figure it out, Zhou Jiashu came to call her.
Zhao Hong was really going into labor this time. Sun Xiuhua thought she would be fine, after all, she had been through it herself, so she followed Ye Zhaozhao to the hospital.
Entering the delivery room, Zhao Hong was sweating profusely from the pain. After Ye Zhaozhao discovered that the cervix was fully dilated, she told Zhao Hong to push harder, and Zhao Hong trusted Ye Zhaozhao.
So even though it was her first child, it didn't take her very long to give birth.
