"It's not that I'm good with words, it's that you're just more knowledgeable."
Wang Ping looked at Song Lan with eyes full of admiration. Seeing this, Song Lan said with a hint of helplessness, "Husband and wife are one. If you want to have a long and lasting marriage, you need to understand and care for each other, as well as be considerate and loving."
Especially during a wife's pregnancy, if even her husband can't be understanding and loving, how will the rest of the family view and act accordingly?
After a pause, Song Lan continued, "For reasonable family members, they will definitely stand up and point out the husband's mistakes. On the contrary, they will inevitably follow suit and not respect the pregnant woman in the family. In this case, regardless of whether the couple can continue to live together, the pregnant woman herself will not benefit at all!"
"You mean pregnant women experience mental health issues, such as anxiety, unease, and other negative emotions?"
Wang Ping shared her understanding.
"Um."
Song Lan nodded and then said, "Being able to be husband and wife is a kind of fate. In my opinion, both husband and wife should cherish and care for each other."
"How cheesy!"
Wang Ping was still a young girl after all, and her cheeks flushed red when she heard what Song Lan said.
"It's already late July, and your special day will be in about two months. You can keep what I'm about to say in mind, as it may be of great help to your married life."
Song Lan smiled, her bright, smiling eyes filled with a profound meaning.
Wang Ping understood perfectly well what she meant—a person about to get married, what's the point of being shy?!
She understood what she saw and heard, but Wang Ping was still incredibly shy. She said, "Should I thank you?"
"No need for that. We're friends, so sharing some of my experience is like giving you a gift before the wedding."
Song Lan spoke with a smile, her eyes curving into crescent moons.
"It seems I have to say thank you," Wang Ping cleared her throat, suppressing her unease, her cheeks flushed, and said, "Thank you, Dr. Song, for your guidance on how to get along with my husband. I will always remember this great kindness!"
As soon as the words were spoken, she and Song Lan burst out laughing simultaneously.
"Okay, I accept your thanks!"
After laughing enough, Song Lan replied to the other person.
Upon hearing this, Wang Ping's laughter, which had just stopped, burst out again: "I didn't expect that our beautiful, kind-hearted, and highly skilled Dr. Song would be so shameless. I have to give her a good talking-to at our hospital later."
Of course, this was just Wang Ping joking.
Do you think I would care?
Song Lan raised an eyebrow, stood up, quickly tidied the consultation table, then took off her white coat, picked up her bag, and asked Wang Ping, "It's time to go home after get off work?"
"Who said that?"
Wang Ping stepped out of the consultation room and waved casually, "Don't wait for me, I don't want to delay your trip to your husband!" She had to go to the duty room to put away her nurse's uniform.
Yes, as soon as Wang Ping stepped out of Song Lan's consultation room, she started unbuttoning her nurse's uniform and rushed towards the duty room as if she were on fire.
Due to the hot weather and Song Lan's pregnancy, she has recently been wearing either a simple and loose-fitting dress to work, or a white short-sleeved top paired with a plain-colored ankle-length skirt.
The dress was a gift from Feng Yuanyuan a month ago, while the short-sleeved shirt and skirt were cut and sewn by Song Lan herself using a sewing machine.
In short, beautiful people look good in anything, even with a big pregnant belly, their beauty is not diminished at all.
"Did the kids cause you any trouble?"
As soon as Qin Yanzheng saw Song Lan, he stepped forward, reached out and supported her. A flash of heartache crossed his eyes, but his tone was full of concern.
Song Lan smiled and shook her head: "They are very well-behaved, don't worry."
"Why don't you just listen to me and do it next month..."
He carefully helped Song Lan into the car, and after Qin Yanzheng was seated, he couldn't help but bring up the old topic again. However, before he could finish speaking, Song Lan interrupted him: "Why did you bring this up again? I've told you more than once that I'm fine. If I go home early to wait for the baby to be born, I'll be bored every day!"
Yang Fan's driving skills were comparable to Wu Dong's; he drove steadily and calmly. He focused on the road ahead and didn't listen to the conversation between Qin Yanzheng and Song Lan.
“But you’re carrying twins, and your belly is huge. I’m really worried about you.”
Qin Yanzheng stared at Song Lan's protruding belly, his dark eyes filled with worry.
"I'm only six months pregnant right now, and I still have at least three months until I give birth. If I listen to you and go home to prepare for childbirth next month, what will happen to my job?"
Twins are usually born prematurely, sometimes by half a month, and sometimes even a month. Therefore, Song Lan knew that her unborn child might not be able to wait until the due date to be born.
Even though the due date might be ten days or half a month earlier, or even a month earlier, it would be difficult for her to put down her work when she was six months pregnant, stay at home eating and drinking, and wait for the birth of her two little ones.
"But your belly looks about the same size as a normal pregnant woman at seven months. Besides, I can afford to support you, so you don't need to work as hard as you are now!"
Qin Yanzheng persisted in persuading Song Lan, but upon hearing this, Song Lan glanced at him and said, "You want to just stay at home doing housework and taking care of the children?"
"Honey, you've misunderstood me. I didn't mean that at all. I just felt sorry for you and didn't want you to go to work with such a big belly."
Fearing his wife would misunderstand, Qin Yanzheng hurriedly explained. Seeing that Song Lan remained silent, he added, "After you give birth safely and finish your postpartum confinement, I won't have any objections to what you want to do. Besides, with your medical skills and current reputation, many hospitals will definitely want to hire you."
He wasn't worried that the factory's staff hospital wouldn't grant his wife a few more months of maternity leave. The reason, of course, was that his wife's medical skills were renowned far and wide, and her medical ethics were praised by everyone, which made the reputation and patient volume of the entire staff hospital, especially the traditional Chinese medicine department, soar to new heights.
It is said that township health centers, county hospitals, and county traditional Chinese medicine hospitals have all been affected, but township health centers are undoubtedly the most severely affected, sometimes going an entire day without seeing a single patient register.
After all, the town health center and the machinery factory staff hospital are not far apart, and neither can compare in terms of land area, medical staff, or medical equipment.
Given this contrast, anyone in the surrounding area who needs medical attention will inevitably choose the machinery factory's staff hospital as their first choice.
The fees are similar, and everyone wants to enjoy good medical resources.
"Let's wait a little longer. I'll definitely stay home and prepare for childbirth when I'm about eight months pregnant."
Song Lan announced her decision.
"Honey, let's discuss this again. How about seven months?"
Qin Yanzheng could see that Song Lan was determined, so he had no choice but to back down and hope that his dear wife would agree.
"There's no room for negotiation."
