Song Lan smiled and said, "Mom, you should rest now. We're leaving."
"Don't throw tantrums at Yan Zheng!"
Li Jumei gave instructions.
"How about I swear it?"
As she was speaking, Song Lan was about to raise her hand, but Qin Yanzheng said at this moment, "Mom, Lanlan is very good. She has never been angry with me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he smiled at Li Jumei, then helped Song Lan back to their bedroom.
...
"What did you talk about with Mom?"
The couple lay down on the bed, and Qin Yanzheng casually asked Song Lan.
"Regarding the matter of Dad recognizing his relatives with Grandpa and Grandma Chen today, Mom is worried that if Dad goes to live in Beijing, people in the village will gossip and say that Dad no longer cares about Grandma."
After briefly recounting her conversation with Li Jumei, Song Lan paused and then said, "I advised Mom not to overthink it. After all, given Dad's character, he would never do such a thing."
Besides, Dad has lived in Shisong Village for many years, and it's impossible for him to give up everything here and go to live in a strange place.
Of course, nothing is absolute. Later, when we returned to work in Beijing, my older brother and younger brother also went to Beijing to develop their careers.
"By then, Mom and Dad will definitely go with us, their children, but Grandma will be left behind."
“You’re right. If that day ever comes, even if Mom and Dad don’t want to leave the village, my older brother and the others will talk to them and get them and Grandma to go with them.”
Qin Yanzheng agreed with what Song Lan said. Upon hearing this, Song Lan smiled and asked, "Do you think that day will come?"
"Naturally. As the country develops, policies change accordingly, and Beijing, being the capital, undoubtedly develops faster in every aspect."
Or perhaps there will be more opportunities. As long as the elder brother and his brothers are not content with mediocrity, they will inevitably leave the village and go to big cities to develop their careers.
Perhaps my elder brother and the others won't go to Beijing, but leaving the village to seek their fortunes elsewhere is inevitable!
If things go well in a big city, settling down there is a certainty. In that case, there will be no doubt that you can bring your elderly parents to live with you and take care of them.
As elderly people, they don't want their children to worry about them while they're away. Even if they're reluctant to leave their hometown, they will choose to stay with their children.
On the one hand, it's about the whole family being together; on the other hand, it's undoubtedly about putting the children at ease!
“Actually, there’s nothing wrong with living in the village except for the inconvenience of transportation and the lack of information. If my parents insist on staying in our hometown in the future, we can visit them more often during holidays.”
In terms of interpersonal relationships, Song Lan wouldn't say she was an expert, but she had a basic understanding of what was necessary. She knew that some elderly people didn't like moving, just like the old saying goes: "There's no place like home."
No matter how good things are outside, they can't compare to your hometown. Even if your hometown is poor in material resources, it gives you a sense of belonging and makes you feel relatively safe and comfortable.
"I'll listen to you."
Qin Yanzheng replied softly.
"Yeah?"
Song Lan and Qin Yanzheng lay facing each other on their sides. At this moment, she smiled slightly and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Listen to me, then why did you tattle on me to my mother?"
"Honey, you've wronged me. I didn't tell Mom about you. I just felt sorry for you and didn't want you to work too hard!"
Qin Yanzheng had expected his wife to settle scores with him, but he didn't expect her to do it so quickly. They were talking about other things, so why did she suddenly launch a surprise attack?
Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough and didn't stammer or look dumb in front of his wife.
"But I promised you that I would finish my work as soon as possible and then go home to prepare for childbirth, but you don't seem to trust me. What should I do with you now?"
Song Lan looked with great interest at the man so close to her, at his flawless handsome face, at his jet-black skin.
But with a hint of unease in his eyes, he said, "Why don't you give me some advice on how to resolve my dissatisfaction?"
"Wife~"
Qin Yanzheng grasped Song Lan's hand and pressed it against his chest: "I really just feel sorry for you. You don't know, lately every time I take you to the hospital, I can't help but worry that something might happen to you while you're at work. The more I think about it..."
I feel my heart pounding faster and faster, and I feel like I can't breathe. Can you feel it now? Even now, lying in bed with you, I'm still incredibly worried about your safety!
"He did jump really fast!"
Feeling that the man's heart rate was indeed faster at this moment, Song Lan couldn't help but twitch her lips and said, "Pregnancy and childbirth are normal things for women. Do you have to make yourself so nervous?"
"Wife, that's true, but there's another saying that childbirth is like walking through the gates of hell for a woman, especially since you're carrying twins."
How could I not be nervous in this situation? Let me tell you the truth: I'd rather live a life without children than without you!
Qin Yanzheng spoke earnestly, and upon hearing this, Song Lan's eyes softened. She withdrew her hand from the man's palm.
She gently traced his eyebrows and eyes with the tip of her index finger, then her soft hand caressed his handsome face, and two words slowly escaped from her lips: "Fool!"
Before Qin Yanzheng could speak, she continued, "I am pregnant with twins, but as a doctor, do you think I don't know what it means to be pregnant with twins? Yes, childbirth with twins is more dangerous than for mothers carrying a single child."
But I check my pulse every morning and evening, and if I feel any discomfort, I will definitely take care of myself immediately. As for childbirth, you don't need to worry at all. If the baby's position is fine...
"Vaginal delivery usually doesn't encounter any problems. Even if an abnormal fetal position is discovered before delivery, with my medical skills, adjusting it shouldn't be difficult. And in the worst-case scenario, there's always the option of a cesarean section, isn't there?"
"A doctor cannot heal himself."
Qin Yanzheng blurted out this sentence without thinking.
Song Lan smiled and said, "Your statement has a long history, especially in ancient times, and some people quite agree with it. But you should know that..."
That's because of the professional limitations of some doctors in ancient times, as well as factors such as their personal emotions and physical conditions, which led to the saying "a doctor cannot heal himself" being passed down.
To put it simply, the saying "a doctor cannot heal himself" is not absolute. For example, I have enough confidence to treat my family and myself. Do you still have any objections?
Qin Yanzheng pursed his lips and remained silent.
"Alright, think about yourself and Xiao Liu, and then think about my grandma. I cured you all. You can't deny that, can you?"
The saying "a doctor cannot heal himself" means that a doctor cannot treat himself or his close relatives, for reasons mentioned earlier, due to the limitations of his profession.
If a doctor is only skilled in internal medicine, then he will naturally be unable to treat other surgical or gynecological diseases that affect his family members or himself.
Another factor is the influence of emotions. Doctors are also ordinary people. When they or their loved ones fall ill, their emotions inevitably fluctuate, which may lead to incorrect diagnoses.
As for physical condition, that's easy to say about leaving home. But if the doctor himself is feeling unwell, how can he effectively treat himself?
