Chapter 209 Fetal Movement
Xiong Jianguo was truly enraged. He stood up and slapped each of them, yelling, "Unfilial sons! Unfilial sons!"
"Get out! All of you get out! From now on, don't even think about taking a single penny or a single ticket from home!"
Xiong Da glared at Xiong Jianguo: "If you don't give us money and tickets now, don't expect us brothers to take care of you in your old age and see you off when you die."
Xiong Jianguo was trembling with anger. Gan Haixiu patted the back of his hand and said, "Old Xiong, don't be angry. It's not worth ruining your health."
Xiong Jianguo never expected that his two sons would turn out so badly.
In a fit of anger, he said, "Fine, I'll pretend I don't have two unfilial sons. Get out!"
Xiong Jianguo is a boiler operator at a metallurgical plant, earning 35 yuan a month. Gan Haixiu is the workshop director of the metallurgical chain workshop, earning 68 yuan a month.
The retirement pension is also around 50 yuan.
The combined salaries of the two of them are enough to ensure they live comfortably.
However, Gan Haixiu wanted to be a good stepmother, so the elderly couple didn't spend much of their own wages, saving it all to help Xiong Da and Xiong Er.
Xiong Jianguo recalled how he and Gan Haixiu had scrimped and saved over the years to support their two sons, only to find that they had raised two ungrateful wretches.
Can you expect sons like that to support you in your old age? Can you expect them to see you off in your final days?
Xiong Jianguo couldn't imagine how his two sons would treat him after he lost his ability to take care of himself.
Since that's the case, it's better to keep the retirement pension and enjoy a few good years with Gan Haixiu.
There were other people in the ward besides them. Xiong Er felt ashamed and dragged Xiong Da away in a panic.
Gan Haixiu said embarrassedly, "Dean Lin, I'm sorry you had to see this."
Mr. Lin waved his hand, confirming again, "You've decided to have the surgery, right?"
Gan Haixiu nodded firmly, and Xiong Jianguo followed suit, saying, "Dean Lin, please do your best."
Lin's father is the vice president of the hospital and also the best chief surgeon in the hospital. This time, it's his daughter's case again, so he will definitely be the one to perform the surgery.
Lin's father replied, "Don't worry, I will definitely do my best."
Lin Shanshan spoke up at the opportune moment: "If it's confirmed, I'll prepare the agreement for you to sign."
"Okay, how much do we need to prepare for the surgery?" Xiong Jianguo asked.
Lin Shanshan shook her head: "No need, it's all free for us."
......
When Lin Shanshan left the ward, she was surprised that things went so smoothly.
After hearing Gan Haixiu's experience, I felt that it was reasonable for her to agree so readily.
When Gan Haixiu was 20 years old, she was preparing to get married. At that time, premarital checkups were not required, but the groom's mother was a doctor and insisted that she undergo the checkup.
After examination, it was discovered that she was infertile and had a congenital uterine malformation. The man then broke off the engagement.
Despite being jilted, Gan Haixiu didn't give up. Instead, she worked even harder, determined to do her best since the marriage was over.
Relying on mountains is risky; even men can run away. It's better to have your own abilities.
Her unwavering spirit touched Xiong Jianguo, a widow, who began to pursue her. After a while, Gan Haixiu discovered that Xiong Jianguo was honest and kind, so they got married.
After getting married, in addition to taking care of her children, she did not give up learning and eventually became the workshop director with her outstanding professional skills.
Gan Haixiu is decisive, willing to give up yesterday, dare to try new things, and is also very bold, so of course she would not let go of the opportunity to have surgery.
Lin Shanshan printed out the surgical agreement in triplicate and had Gan Haixiu sign it.
Gan Haixiu kept one copy, Lin's father kept one copy for his records at the hospital, and Lin Shanshan took one copy back to school.
In the vice president's office, Lin Shanshan held the agreement and said, "Dad, when do you plan to schedule the surgery? I need to go back and talk to Elder Tong to prepare the artificial heart."
Mr. Lin flipped through his notebook and said, "Next Tuesday morning, I'm free that day."
Today is Thursday, and there are still four days left, enough time for Mr. Tong to prepare.
Lin Shanshan said, "Okay, I'm eager to go back to school and tell Teacher Tong the good news."
Lin's father said, "You must not go back alone. Before A-Ye left this morning, he repeatedly told me and your mother to take good care of you. He will come to pick you up tonight."
Lin Shanshan smiled brightly. This Gu Yiye!
Lin's father continued, "What are you saying, A-Ye? Do you think your mother and I wouldn't take good care of our own daughter?"
He expressed his dissatisfaction verbally, but was secretly pleased.
The old father felt comforted that his daughter hadn't married the wrong person.
Lin Shanshan was busy all morning and was both hungry and sleepy. She ate lunch at the hospital cafeteria and then went home for a nap.
I got up in the afternoon and took out some snacks and milk from my room for afternoon tea.
Bored, she stayed home watching TV, waiting for Gu Yiye to pick her up.
The television was black and white. Lin Shanshan watched it for a while, then started to doze off again, and before she knew it, she had fallen asleep on the sofa.
When Gu Yiye came in, Lin Shanshan was sleeping with her face flushed, her mouth slightly open, and a little bit of drool glistening at the corner of her mouth.
Gu Yiye gently wiped her clean with a handkerchief, and Lin Shanshan woke up at that moment.
I opened my eyes and saw my husband's handsome face. I grinned foolishly and gave him a quick kiss.
Gu Yiye responded for a while, then, worried that Lin Shanshan might be uncomfortable kissing while lying down, he helped her sit up.
Lin Shanshan had just sat down when she suddenly looked startled!
Gu Yiye asked, "Wife, what's wrong?"
Lin Shanshan: "Honey, it's moving."
"The baby moved, quickly feel it."
Gu Yiye hurriedly placed his hand on Lin Shanshan's stomach, held his breath, and felt it.
Five minutes passed, and there was still no movement.
Lin Shanshan asked in confusion, "I clearly felt it! Am I just confused from sleeping?"
Gu Yiye removed his hand from Lin Shanshan's belly and said, "She's only four months pregnant, so the movements are probably too small. She's not moving much."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Shanshan felt her belly move, as if she had been kicked by her baby's little leg.
"Honey, it's moving again."
Gu Yiye quickly placed his hand on it, and the fetal movement immediately stopped.
This process repeated itself; whenever Gu Yiye loosened his grip, the movement would begin, but when Gu Yiye placed his hand on it, the movement would cease.
Finally, Gu Yiye squatted down and said to Lin Shanshan's belly, "Babies, are you playing hide-and-seek with Daddy?"
