"Mom... let's go visit her. After all, you've been taking care of the baby for me for several months now."
Even disregarding what you said, as her sister-in-law, I should have brought some gifts and visited her after learning of her pregnancy.
After a pause, in order to persuade Li Jumei, Song Lan added, "During my pregnancies with my first and second children, my elder brother and sister-in-law often came to visit me on weekends."
Upon hearing this, Li Jumei did not respond.
"Mom~"
Song Lan felt rather helpless. She dragged out her words and said in a coquettish tone, "I have to reciprocate. Otherwise, if outsiders find out, they'll say I'm rude!"
"Fine, fine, whatever you say."
Li Jumei had no choice but to agree.
"I knew Mom was the best!"
Song Lan smiled broadly, her eyes crinkling.
"I just can't do anything with you!"
Li Jumei shook her head, her eyes filled with undisguised doting affection.
Before I knew it, it was the weekend.
With Qin Yanzheng, Qin Yaqing, and Qin Yaxin at home taking care of the two children, and Aunt Liu, whom we hired before, also there, things are going well.
Song Lan and Li Jumei had nothing to worry about. After breakfast, Song Lan rode her bicycle with Li Jumei to the Feng family's house in town.
Seeing that Li Jumei's hands were full, and that Song Lan's bicycle handlebars had a net bag of gifts hanging from them,
Mr. and Mrs. Feng were naturally overjoyed, feeling that their mother-in-law, Li Jumei, valued their daughter, and that their daughter's kindness to her sister-in-law, Song Lan, had not been in vain.
As for Feng Yuanyuan, she was undoubtedly very moved.
It should be noted that Song Qingbin was not at the Feng family's house. Yesterday was Saturday, and thinking that his elderly father was home alone, Song Qingbin picked up Song Guoqing from school at the town's middle school in the afternoon.
First, they went to the Feng family home to greet Mr. and Mrs. Feng, as well as Feng Yuanyuan, and then rode their bicycles to take Song Guoqing back to Shisong Village.
That's why I missed seeing Song Lan and Li Jumei at the Feng family's house today.
"Sister-in-law, let me take your pulse!"
After chatting for about half an hour, Song Lan was led by Feng Yuanyuan to the room she had left home before her marriage. Before she could say anything, Song Lan's smiling voice came out.
"good!"
Feng Yuanyuan was very happy to agree, after all, Song Lan's medical skills were excellent, and within a radius of about a hundred miles centered on the Red Star Machinery Factory...
No, even people in the provincial capital know about Song Lan; in fact, everyone calls him a "miracle doctor."
People who had heard of Song Lan's reputation lined up early in the morning to seek her treatment at the machinery factory's staff hospital.
This clearly shows that Song Lan's medical skills are not just empty boasts!
Time passed by, and after Song Lan finished taking Feng Yuanyuan's pulse, she withdrew her hand and said, "The fetus is developing very well in the mother's body."
Feng Yuanyuan instantly felt at ease. With a smile, she asked, "Is there anything I should be careful about?"
Even though she went to the town's health center for a checkup, and the doctor said that she and the baby in her womb were fine, she was still a little worried.
She was thinking of finding some time to go to the machinery factory's staff hospital and have her sister-in-law, this "miracle doctor," personally examine her.
Unexpectedly, her sister-in-law and mother-in-law suddenly came to visit her at her parents' home.
"Given your stage of pregnancy, the fetus is currently developing rapidly. You can eat more good food, but remember to maintain a balanced diet."
In addition, emotional stability is necessary; in other words, one should avoid extreme joy or sorrow, and protect oneself by avoiding contact with dangerous things…
Song Lan gently recounted many points to note, and finally said, "Of course, sister-in-law, there's no need to be too nervous, lest you create anxiety for yourself."
Let me put it this way, pregnancy and childbirth are perfectly normal things for women. As long as you have your prenatal checkups on time, and the baby is born naturally, there shouldn't be any problems.
As she listened, Feng Yuanyuan nodded and hummed in agreement. After Song Lan finished speaking, she hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Little sister, is childbirth very painful?"
"A little."
Song Lan smiled: "Just grit your teeth, you'll get through this soon."
"I'm not kidding you, lately whenever I think about having a baby, I... I can't help but feel scared."
Feng Yuanyuan said, "In our town, I've heard of two pregnant women who suffered complications during childbirth in the past two years, one of whom lost both her and her unborn child..."
A woman gave birth with all her might, but suffered severe bleeding and died en route due to excessive blood loss before she could be reached by a major hospital.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, that kind of thing will never happen to you. When you give birth, just come to our staff hospital."
If dystocia occurs, we can perform a cesarean section.
Song Lan's smile was reassuring. Hearing her words, Feng Yuanyuan had no more worries. She smiled with relief and said, "Then I'll go to your hospital for my prenatal checkup. When I give birth, you can deliver my baby."
“No problem, I will personally welcome my little nephew into this world.”
Upon hearing Song Lan's words, Feng Yuanyuan was stunned. After a long while, she asked, "Little sister, you just...you just mentioned your nephew?"
"……Um."
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Song Lan realized what Feng Yuanyuan meant by her question.
So she nodded in affirmation.
To be honest, Song Lan wasn't sexist, but she knew that the idea of male superiority had existed since ancient times, even in today's society where "gender equality" is prevalent.
However, when it comes to the birth of a newborn, the joy of "having a precious child" still brings more happiness to everyone.
In other words, the feudal idea of "preferring sons to daughters" still lingers to some extent in people's minds.
Especially in rural areas, in backward and ignorant remote mountain villages, having a son is equivalent to adding labor to the family, which is a great joy for the whole family.
If a girl is born, better families might not value her, treating her like cattle or horses, and then send her away to exchange for a dowry when she reaches marriageable age.
