"My level of understanding is not as high as yours, and my ideological awareness is not as high as yours either."
Wang Ping felt ashamed.
"We were just chatting casually, but you're making this conversation a bit awkward for me."
Song Lan smiled and shook her head, then changed the subject: "In another two months or so, you'll probably have to take maternity leave too."
"I plan to rest a month before giving birth."
Wang Ping's eyes showed a hint of worry: "Although my husband and I both have jobs, it costs a lot of money to raise a child. If I go home to prepare for childbirth too early, I will receive much less salary."
What kind of child do we need to raise well?
Song Lan's beautiful eyebrows were slightly raised.
Without a second thought, Wang Ping replied, "We must not skimp on food and clothing, and we must receive the best education when we reach the appropriate age."
"What you said about not depriving people of food and clothing is something that I think is not difficult to achieve as long as there are not many children in the family. After all, our country will develop better and better, and as a result, our wages and benefits will naturally increase."
But when you say "the best education," am I sure you're referring to local education or comparing it to education nationwide?
After listening to Song Lan's words, Wang Ping waved her hand and laughed, "I don't have such a big heart. Why would I compare education across the country? When my son or daughter reaches school age, if they can study in our county town, that will be the best education for me."
"That's not difficult."
In a few years, with the reform and opening up, people will have more ways to make money, and they won't need certificates to go out. As long as they manage to buy a house in the county town, they can transfer their children's household registration there, and then their children can naturally go to school in the county town.
Thinking this to herself, Song Lan said, "If you have the chance later, you and your husband could try to buy a house in the county town."
Even if it's small, in a remote location, or a bit dilapidated, as long as you can buy the house and transfer it to your name, you can naturally transfer your child's household registration there.
"With our household registration in the county seat, getting our child of school age won't be a problem at all."
After a pause, Song Lan continued, "However, if you have savings, you should naturally choose a house in a good location, such as one that is on a main street and has convenient transportation..."
Offering her own perspective, Song Lan smiled as she saw Wang Ping nodding repeatedly: "I'm just giving you my opinion; don't take everything I say to heart."
“What you said makes a lot of sense. If my husband and I were to buy a house in the county town, we would definitely take your advice.”
Wang Ping looked quite serious.
Song Lan said jokingly, "No, my opinion is just for reference. If you take it directly and something happens later, to tell you the truth, don't even think about holding me responsible!"
"I'm not stupid, I can tell right from wrong!"
Wang Ping glared at Song Lan.
"I was blind; I didn't realize that our Nurse Wang is quite intelligent."
Song Lan laughed and said, and upon hearing this, Wang Ping was amused: "Even if I'm very smart, I'm not as smart as you."
"You flatter me!"
Song Lan bowed to Wang Ping, a gesture that undoubtedly amused Wang Ping again. She said, "You're quite good at taking advantage of situations."
"What? Were you just being insincere in praising me?!"
Song Lan's smile vanished, her eyes filled with "I'm very disappointed in you." Seeing this, Wang Ping rolled her eyes and said, "If you're such a good actress, why don't you become one?"
"What are you thinking? With my rudimentary skills, I probably wouldn't even be able to cross the threshold into acting." Song Lan glanced at the other person nonchalantly, then said:
"Let's stop talking. If a patient comes in for a checkup and sees us chatting endlessly during working hours, it will really damage the hospital's image, and we might even get a complaint."
"It's not as serious as you make it out to be."
Wang Ping seemed indifferent, but she really didn't change the subject and chat with Song Lan anymore. Just then, footsteps came from outside the consultation room, followed by a smiling female voice: "Dr. Song!"
"You're here, have a seat."
Song Lan greeted the other party with a smile.
"good."
The person who came to see Song Lan was a familiar face. Well, to be precise, there were two people in Song Lan's clinic at that moment. Both of them were familiar to Song Lan: one was Wei Hongjuan, and the other was Wei Hongjuan's husband, Sun Hao.
The couple came for a prenatal checkup.
Normally, prenatal checkups should be done at the obstetrics and gynecology department, but it was truly remarkable that Wei Hongjuan and her husband were able to conceive this child, especially since Song Lan had treated and regulated their health.
Both Wei Hongjuan and Sun Hao trusted Song Lan far more than the obstetricians and gynecologists. Therefore, every time they came to the machinery factory's staff hospital for prenatal checkups,
They always come to the Traditional Chinese Medicine department to see Song Lan. Only after Song Lan examines them and says that the mother and fetus are both fine can the couple feel at ease.
Song Lan first took Wei Hongjuan's pulse, then had Wei Hongjuan stand on the scale. After recording her pulse and weight, she measured her waist circumference with a soft measuring tape.
"Alright, now lie down on the examination bed."
Song Lan casually wrote down her waist measurement in her notebook. Before Wei Hongjuan could speak, her husband Sun Hao said, "I'll help Juan'er over there."
He moved with extreme caution, fearing that something might happen to his wife.
After Wei Hongjuan lay down, Song Lan began to touch her abdomen to obtain information such as the size, location, and position of the fetus. However, Song Lan also activated her "Golden Eyes" at the same time.
Having confirmed that the fetus was developing normally, Song Lan withdrew her hand, a faint smile in her voice: "Everything is normal."
"Thank you, Dr. Song!"
Sun Hao thanked him, then helped his wife Wei Hongjuan sit up and helped her put on her shoes.
"It's my duty."
Song Lan responded softly, and then she told Wei Hongjuan and her husband a few things to note. After she finished speaking, Wei Hongjuan suddenly asked, "Dr. Song, are you going home to prepare for childbirth?"
Upon hearing this, Song Lan hummed in agreement and said, "Next time you come to the hospital for a prenatal checkup, go directly to the obstetrics and gynecology department. I will go home to rest after finishing my work for the next two days. I won't be able to return to work until after my postpartum period."
"You need to go to the OB/GYN for a prenatal checkup..."
Wei Hongjuan's voice was hesitant.
Song Lan: "Don't worry, the doctors in our hospital's obstetrics and gynecology department are very professional, and there won't be any problems with your past checkups."
Wei Hongjuan: "Then... then can you, Dr. Song, deliver my baby?"
Just as Song Lan was about to speak, Wei Hongjuan's voice rang out again: "Dr. Song, you should have already returned to work by the time my due date arrives, right?"
"More or less. Our due dates are about a month apart, and we're both carrying twins. I might even give birth earlier."
In short, based on the timeline, I'll most likely be back at work by the time you give birth. So, if you need me to deliver the baby, I certainly won't refuse.
As Song Lan finished speaking, Wei Hongjuan smiled: "Dr. Song, then it's settled. I definitely want you to deliver my baby."
It's not that I doubt the competence of the obstetricians and gynecologists at our hospital, it's just... I just feel more at ease with you around."
