"Congratulations."
As the doctor finished speaking, Zong Shao let out the breath he had been holding back due to nervousness, and asked hurriedly, "Does this mean you are pregnant?"
"Of course, it's been a month and a half." Dr. Gao smiled.
The doctors in the military hospital are all military doctors and they also live in the family quarters. However, Dr. Gao's home is in the townhouse, and because of his busy work, he doesn't have much contact with the military wives who live far away.
But even though they had no contact with each other, they were bound to run into each other on their way to and from get off work or on vacation. Therefore, although Dr. Gao and the Lin Wei couple were not familiar with each other, they were not strangers either.
Thinking about the time when he saw Zong Shao, he was always straight and serious. Now he looked anxious and asked silly questions. Doctor Gao couldn't help laughing: "This isn't the first time you have a child. Why are you still so nervous?"
"Weiwei was in her hometown when she was pregnant with twins. I only found out about it when I received the letter." Zong Shao said as he gently held Lin Wei's hand.
Doctor Gao understood. This was a common situation in military families. Lin Wei's case was considered good. There were families in the family quarters where there were three or four children, and some of them had their husbands never around.
Lin Wei shook Zong Shao's hand in return and asked about something she was concerned about: "Doctor Gao, can you tell now whether I am pregnant with a single baby or twins?"
"From the results, it should be a single baby." Doctor Gao knew that Lin Wei had given birth to twins before, and thought that she hoped to have two babies this time, so he added, "But you are still a little bit pregnant, so the results are not that accurate. If you check again next month, it will be more accurate."
Lin Wei was still young when she was pregnant with Mingming and Ruirui, and she didn’t have any reaction during the pregnancy, except that her menstrual period was delayed. But she was young at that time, and her menstrual period was less regular than it is now. Once, her grandmother asked her if she hadn't had her period for a long time, and she said it had always been like this. When she went to the hospital for a check-up, she found out she was three months pregnant.
For this, Lin's mother scolded her daughter, saying that she was too careless and didn't even know if there was anything wrong with her body.
Therefore, although Lin Wei had been pregnant with twins, she was not sure how many months it would take to get an accurate diagnosis. After hearing what the doctor said, she became nervous: "In other words, we won't know the results until next month?"
"If you think waiting until next month is too long, you can come back for another checkup at the end of the month. By then, the fetus will be basically stable and the results will be accurate," said Dr. Gao. "But for the third and last three months of pregnancy, I suggest you come for a checkup every month."
Although Dr. Gao made such a suggestion, he did not have any expectations for Lin Wei and Zong Shao.
She has been a doctor for more than ten years and has seen many pregnant women who never entered the hospital during their pregnancy, and even had to find a midwife to give birth. In the end, they had to be rushed to the hospital because of a difficult delivery.
Not to mention last month, she received a pregnant woman like this. She had come to the hospital for a check-up in the early stages of her pregnancy. Because her pregnancy signs were not very good, she asked her to be hospitalized for a few days of observation. But the young girl had no idea what to do. Those who had an idea were reluctant to spend the money and said that doctors were just trying to scare people. They coaxed the girl into asking the doctor to prescribe some medicine and go home to take care of her.
Although she was a doctor, she had become open-minded after practicing medicine for so many years. Seeing that persuasion was futile, she prescribed some medicine for her. But later she still asked her to come to the hospital for regular check-ups so that any problems could be discovered in time.
The result was obvious. After that incident, she never saw the girl in the hospital again. When she saw her again, the girl was sent there with heavy bleeding. In the end, not only did the baby not survive, but it also became difficult for the girl to get pregnant again.
Although the girl in the accident was from a nearby brigade, the rural environment is isolated and pregnant women mainly rely on midwives for childbirth and have no awareness of seeing a doctor. But even people in the county town and the wives of soldiers in the family quarters would come to the hospital to give birth when they got pregnant, and few of them took her advice to have a prenatal checkup seriously.
As time went by, she became somewhat discouraged, but she was a doctor after all, and even if it was just routine work, she still had to explain what needed to be done.
Lin Wei didn't do any checkups when she was pregnant with Mingming and Ruirui. She checked once for pregnancy, and went again when she was five or six months pregnant. The next time she went to the hospital was when she was about to give birth.
In fact, Zong's mother was planning to have Lin Wei admitted to the hospital in advance to give birth, because she had to go to work during the day and Zong Shao was not at home. She was afraid that if Lin Wei went into labor, nothing would happen to anyone at home.
But plans cannot keep up with changes, and the day before going to the hospital, Lin Wei started the war.
Fortunately, that day was Sunday, and her mother-in-law and biological mother were both there. There were also many people in the cotton mill’s family compound. Someone borrowed a tricycle and took her to the hospital in time, so she was able to give birth smoothly.
Although she had never had this happen before, after having the dream, Lin Wei now cherished her life very much and immediately decided to listen to the doctor and said, "Then I will come back for a check-up next month."
Hearing this, Dr. Gao's smile became more sincere: "Okay."
…
Because the doctor said eating fruit is good for pregnant women, before going home, Zong Shao took Lin Wei to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some fruit.
There were not many people in the supply and marketing cooperative at this time. Zhao Li, who was standing behind the fruit counter, looked up and saw them. She smiled and asked, "Why are you here?"
When Lin Wei and Zong Shao go out and meet mutual acquaintances, Lin Wei is usually the first to say hello and she talks more, with Zong Shao only occasionally interjecting a few words.
It was the same today. Lin Wei walked up to the counter and said, "Come and buy some fruit. Aren't you going to take a break today?"
"I took a break yesterday, did you forget?"
Lin Wei smiled: "I thought you were taking two days off." The supply and marketing cooperatives have relatively free time off. As long as the employees are willing, their shifts can be adjusted, and they can even take four consecutive days off.
"After taking two days off, I will have to work for half a month straight. I can't bear it." Zhao Li said as she looked at Lin Wei.
Zhao Li has been feeling uneasy since leaving Lin Wei's house last night. Although Lin Wei said she was fine, no matter how she thought about it, she felt that something serious had happened to Lin Wei.
Originally, Zhao Li planned to visit Lin Wei at home after get off work in the evening, but she didn't expect that she came to the supply and marketing cooperative by herself, and she looked like she was really fine.
Looking at Lin Wei again, she is wearing a sun hat, which is the attire she only wears when she recently leaves the family quarters. Because the temperature hasn't risen recently and the sun isn't that strong, Lin Wei isn't bothered to wear a hat unless she's going somewhere far.
Thinking of this, Zhao Li asked, "Where did you go just now?"
Although Shicheng has a custom that pregnancy cannot be told to anyone in the first three months, the rules are not that strict. When Lin Wei was pregnant with Mingming and Ruirui, her mother did not hide it from relatives and friends. As long as it was not told to anyone, it was fine.
In addition, Zhao Li had guessed it yesterday, so Lin Wei did not hide it: "Just came back from the hospital."
Seeing the smile on Lin Wei's face, Zhao Li felt relieved.
She said that when they talked about having another child before the New Year, Lin Wei didn't seem to be unwilling, so why did she react like that yesterday? It must have been because I was too surprised. I couldn't react for a moment and my emotions got out of control.
Most people would be overjoyed when encountering happy events, but Lin Wei's face turned pale. Zhao Li didn't think much about it and couldn't understand why.
Anyway, no matter what Lin Wei's mood was at that time, as long as the couple are happy now, it is enough.
There were not many varieties of fruits on the island in March, but Zong Shao’s style of buying fruits was that if the variety was insufficient, he would make up for it with quantity. He would just ask for two kilograms of this or two kilograms of that.
Lin Wei felt overwhelmed when she heard this and quickly said, "Stop! Two kilograms of bananas, and half a kilogram of wax apples and strawberries each." She then said to Zong Shao, "Wax apples and strawberries don't keep well, so don't buy so many and eat half and throw away the other half."
Zong Shao said, "If you can't finish it, I'll buy it all."
Lin Wei thought, if you pay for everything, I still have to worry about you getting diarrhea, so she decided to let Zhao Li weigh it as she said.
After buying the fruit, the two went to Zhou's house to pick up the children.
After arriving at Zhou's house, the first thing Deng Xiangyun and his wife asked when they saw them was: "What did the doctor say?"
In fact, they didn't know what disease Lin Wei went to the hospital for, but no matter what the disease was, it was right to ask this question. After asking, the couple looked at each other and smiled because they thought it was such a coincidence.
Lin Wei ate a mouthful of dog food and said, "The doctor said it's fine."
Deng Xiangyun breathed a sigh of relief. She had been worried for most of the day. Zhou Jianhai asked, "Did the doctor say what the problem was?"
"Yes, yes, this is very important." Deng Xiangyun said.
"Actually, I'm not feeling unwell, I'm just..."
Because Zhao Li had guessed it yesterday, so Lin Wei only needed to give a slight hint, but Deng Xiangyun and his wife knew nothing, so Lin Wei needed to say it explicitly.
But as for the pregnancy, it was a bit embarrassing to talk about it out loud, so Lin Wei was a little hesitant.
Lin Wei felt embarrassed, but Zong Shao didn't. He put his arm around his wife's shoulders and said, "Weiwei is pregnant."
Deng Xiangyun and his wife both had the same surprised expression: "Really?"
"Well, it's been a month and a half." Zong Shao curled his lips, but his tone was deliberately calm, and he couldn't hide his intention to show off.
Deng Xiangyun calculated in her mind and asked, "That was before the New Year, right?"
Lin Wei nodded: "Almost."
Zhou Jianhai complained with a smile: "You two are the same. When we sent Mingming and Ruirui here this morning, we just said we were going to the hospital for a checkup. We thought something was wrong with you and were worried for most of the day."
“It’s not easy for us to publicize the results until they are out,” Zong Shao explained.
As they were talking, Mingming and Ruirui came over from the backyard. When they saw their parents, both children's faces lit up with joy. Mingming even ran towards them, wanting to throw himself into Lin Wei's arms out of habit.
When Zong Shao saw this, he quickly bent down and pulled his son into his arms.
Mingming felt dizzy and closed his eyes reflexively. When he opened them again, he found that he was hugged by his father. After a moment of shock, his eyes lit up and he asked, "Dad, how did you do that?"
"What?"
“This one!”
Mingming said this as he jumped out of Zong Shao's arms, pretending to pounce on Lin Wei, but the next second he hugged her tightly in his arms again. Mingming said cheerfully, "That's it! I want more!" and was about to get out of Zong Shao's arms again.
But this time Zong Shao didn't let him move. He hugged him and said, "Don't jump into your mother's arms from now on."
Mingming turned his head, looked at his father's big face and asked puzzledly: "Why?"
“Because it’s dangerous.”
Mingming was not convinced and said, "But I always threw myself into mom's arms before, and you didn't stop me at that time."
Zong Shao said with a straight face: "The past was the past, and the present is the present."
“Why was it possible before but not now?” Mingming still didn’t understand.
Ruirui raised her hand and said, "I know! It must be because mom is sick, so don't do this again!"
Mingming opened his mouth wide, turned his head and asked Lin Wei: "Mom, are you seriously ill?"
"Mom is not sick," Lin Wei said quickly when she saw Mingming's eyes were red, "Mom is pregnant."
Although she had stopped crying, the confusion on her face did not diminish: "Why can't I hug my mother now that I have a baby?"
Zong Shao corrected him, “It’s not that you can’t hug her, it’s that you can’t rush over to hug her like you did just now. It’s easy to bump into her belly, which is very dangerous.”
Listening to his father's stern words, Mingming vaguely understood what they meant. His eyes fell on Lin Wei's belly and asked, "Is the baby in the mother's belly?"
Ruirui also came over to look at Lin Wei's belly, and carefully reached out to touch it, but felt nothing: "Why don't I feel anything?"
Listening to the innocent words of the two children, the adults laughed. Deng Xiangyun explained: "It is still developing, so you can't feel anything. After a few months, your mother's belly will get bigger and the baby will move, and you will be able to hear the sound."
"So that's how it is."
The three children suddenly realized what was going on. Ruirui remembered and asked, "When will the baby come out?"
"It will probably take another eight or nine months," said Lin Wei.
Mingming was disappointed: "It takes so long to wait!"
Lin Wei said: "It takes this long. You also stayed in your mother's belly for this long."
Mingming was surprised when he heard this: "We were also in our mother's belly?"
"Of course, how else were you born?"
"We are not this... that..." He clearly couldn't say it, so he used this and that to make up for it, "So it came out?"
Lin Wei asked with amusement: "How about this or that?"
Mingming blinked his eyes and said innocently, "That's it." He had given up thinking about such a complicated question.
Ruirui quickly accepted the fact that he had been in his mother's belly. What he was more concerned about now was whether the baby in his mother's belly was a brother or a sister.
Hearing this, Deng Xiangyun smiled and asked, "Rui Rui, do you want a brother or a sister?"
Ruirui thought for a moment and said, "I want a sister."
"Why?" Zhou Jianhai asked.
Ruirui thought of the children younger than him in the family quarters. Even if the girls' clothes were dirty, their faces were clean, but it was different for the boys. Many of them always had snot hanging from their noses. So he said, "Because the sisters are clean, and the brothers... are not clean."
After hearing Ruirui's words, Mingming and Xiao Shitou couldn't help but look down at themselves, and silently put their hands behind their backs and patted the dust off their hands.
They don’t want to be disliked by their younger brothers/friends!
