Pregnancy test strips are very cheap, only one dollar each.

Why not buy a more expensive pregnancy test stick? Of course, the pregnancy test stick is too big and difficult to destroy.

The pregnancy test strip is small and the packaging bag is also small. After use, throw it into the stove and it will be burned clean in less than a minute.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that pregnancy test strips are cheap, as they contain all the necessary instructions clearly written on them.

Su Ruanruan studied the instructions and quickly figured out how to use it.

The instructions say to observe results within five minutes.

But almost the moment Su Ruanruan put the test paper flat, she saw two bright red lines on it.

Two bars mean pregnancy.

At this moment, Su Runruan was neither surprised nor happy, but only had a feeling that everything had settled.

After staring at the pregnancy test paper for a long time, Su Runrun finally burned it and its packaging.

Su Ruanruan was sure of it, and she thought about waiting for Fu Wenjing to come back and tell him.

But when Fu Wenjing got home at noon, Su Runruan hadn't had time to speak before Fu Wenjing spoke first.

"Wife, I bought some food. Let's eat first, and then we'll go to the hospital. I've already made arrangements with the doctor in advance."

Su Ruanruan was a little confused, "What did you agree on?"

"I want to check you out. You've been feeling groggy lately. I'm worried there might be something wrong with your body."

Su Ruanruan smiled and said, "It's been ten days. I can confirm that I'm pregnant. The inability to wake up should be due to sleepiness during pregnancy."

"Then we have to go get checked. It will make us feel more at ease. I have already made arrangements with the hospital, so don't worry, wife! Just come with me, and I will take care of the rest."

Su Ruanruan also knew that Fu Wenjing did this for her own good, so she did not refuse Fu Wenjing's kindness and nodded in agreement.

During the past ten days, Su Runrun has been a little sleepy, but her appetite is very good, even better than before.

Not only did she eat more, but when Fu Wenjing was not at home, Su Runrun would buy herself some snacks.

Fu Wenjing had a big appetite to begin with, and since Su Runrun also ate a lot, he bought a lot of food.

These two lunch boxes are no longer enough, now we need four.

There were dishes, soup and rice, and the two of them ate everything up.

After the meal, Fu Wenjing quickly cleaned the lunch box and went out with Su Ruanruan.

The military hospital is very close to the compound, just one bus stop away. Su Runruan had seen it before while sitting on the bus, but this was the first time she had gone inside.

As soon as I entered the hospital, I smelled disinfectant.

Fu Wenjing must have been here before and was familiar with the hospital. He took Su Ruanruan directly to the gynecology department.

This was the first time in Su Ruanruan's two lives that she had a gynecological examination. She felt a little embarrassed, but it was not unacceptable.

Because it was lunch time, no one else was tested except them, and the results came out very quickly.

The female doctor held the test results and congratulated them with a smile.

"Congratulations, you are pregnant, a little over a month."

Su Ruanruan had already confirmed that she was pregnant in the morning, so she didn't feel anything special when she heard this.

Fu Wenjing was happy, but also very nervous.

"She's been very sleepy lately. Will sleeping too much cause any harm to her body?"

The doctors were amused by Fu Wenjing's question, "Sleepiness is a normal reaction. Getting more sleep and rest is good for both pregnant women and children. What harm can it cause?

There is nothing special to pay attention to in normal times. Don't get tired, don't get hurt, don't eat anything cold, and take more nutrition, such as eggs, meat, milk, and milk powder for pregnant women. If you have the conditions, you can take them."

"Milk powder is hard to buy. Doctor, can you write me a prescription?" Fu Wenjing asked.

The doctor was probably just giving the reminder out of habit, and he didn't expect Fu Wenjing to actually buy it. He looked at Fu Wenjing with some surprise.

But soon, the doctor came back to his senses and nodded, "Of course! Why not! This comrade is really good. There are really not many people who love their wives as much as you do."

Supplies were really scarce in that era. For example, if you wanted to buy milk powder without a ticket, you needed a slip from the hospital.

After the doctor wrote the note, he stamped it and then handed it to the two people.

Su Runrun carefully examined the note in her hand and found it very novel.

Even though I have been in this era for more than a month, I still feel a sense of novelty when I see notes or tickets that I have never seen before.

The note says one can of milk powder for pregnant women, so you can only buy one can.

Even if you have money, you can't buy a second can.

After leaving the hospital, Fu Wenjing said, "Wife, I will take you home first, and then go to the commune to buy milk powder."

"Don't bother. I'll go with you. I want to go to the commune, too."

Fu Wenjing would basically never refuse Su Ruanruan's request, and this time was no exception.

But when getting on and off the car, Fu Wenjing always stood behind Su Ruanruan, fearing that others would accidentally bump into her.

When they arrived at the department store, they saw that there was no one in front of the milk powder counter, so Fu Wenjing dared to lead Su Ruanruan over.

His cautious look made Su Runrun feel like laughing and warmed her heart.

"A can of milk powder won't last long, but don't worry, wife, I'll find a way to exchange it for some milk powder tickets."

Su Ruanruan knew how hard it was to get milk powder tickets, so she quickly dissuaded him, "It's okay without milk powder. I'm in good health and don't need milk powder."

"Wife, don't worry about these things, just leave them to me. Since we are here, let's go shopping and see if there is anything you want to buy."

Su Ruanruan didn't want to buy anything.

What’s more important is that she can’t buy what she wants now.

Now that you are confirmed to be pregnant, you need to prepare some things.

It's still summer now and she's just gotten pregnant, so her belly isn't noticeable and the clothes she made before can still be worn.

But when autumn and winter come, my belly gets bigger and I need to make new clothes.

There was some cloth at home, but it was not enough, not to mention there was no cotton at all.

In addition to thick clothes, thick quilts also need to be prepared.

According to the calculation, she should be born in March or April next year, and it will probably still be cold here by then.

The cotton-padded clothes that children need to wear, the swaddles they need to wear, and the diapers they need to wear all need to be prepared in advance.

Adding all these together, it would take dozens of kilograms of cotton and dozens of feet of cloth.

Fu Wenjing could get 16 feet of cloth coupons every year.

He collected all the cloth coupons for this year at once, and exchanged a lot with other people in the army. He gave part of these cloth coupons to Wang Maoni and used part to buy cloth for Su Ruanruan.

It is not so easy to get dozens of feet of cloth coupons now.

Compared with cloth coupons, cotton coupons are more difficult to get.

Su Ruanruan had thought before that she should visit the commune more often or go to the county town once in a while, and bring back some cloth and cotton each time, so that a little bit can add up to a lot.

But now she is pregnant and Fu Wenjing must be worried about her going out frequently alone.

So how do we solve this problem?
