Seeing this situation, Ding Qiunan consciously began to help her husband. When a male doctor is treating a female patient, it is best to have a female nurse present.
Director Sun even came over to take a look. He originally planned to have Nurse Su from his office come over to help, but seeing Ding Qiunan here, he went to the pharmacy to tell Director Yang.
In just one afternoon, more than a dozen pregnant women came, all recruited by the obstetrics and gynecology department.
If the mother is in better physical condition, the delivery will naturally be smoother, which is good for both the mother and the child.
So, as long as the obstetrics and gynecology department notifies them, these pregnant women and their in-laws are all willing to have their bodies treated.
As the workday drew to a close and the last patient was seen off, Ding Qiunan plopped down in her chair and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Why are there so many people?"
Li Chu was tidying up the registration tickets on the table when he heard her complaint. Without even looking up, he smiled and said, "Are you tired? I'll give you a massage after I finish writing this."
Ding Qiunan barely sat down all afternoon because the patients were all pregnant women, and there were many restrictions on prescribing medication for them.
She had to accompany almost everyone to the pharmacy to explain things clearly.
"Your legs are so thin from running around, I'm not staying here to help you tomorrow."
Li Chu looked up at his wife and said, "No need, we'll have Director Sun arrange someone else tomorrow."
Ding Qiunan looked at her husband and pursed her lips: "Forget it, I'll stay here with you tomorrow."
"What's wrong? Didn't you say you were too tired?"
"It's not good for the wife to follow the husband's lead!" Ding Qiunan rolled her eyes at him.
"If you want to help me here, you still need to see if Director Yang agrees. After all, you work for the pharmacy."
Ding Qiunan was taken aback for a moment: "Oh, right, then forget it. I'll just go to work."
In fact, Li Chu had considered whether to ask his wife to come to his clinic, but he decided against it after thinking about it.
He only sees patients sporadically, and is often not at the hospital. If we bring Ding Qiunan over, it's no different from giving her a vacation, and people will definitely gossip about it.
"Oh dear, thank goodness I'm not late." The voice from the doorway made Ding Qiunan, who was resting, turn her head to look.
"Hey, Xiao'e, what brings you here?"
"Lou Xiao'e?" Li Chu also stopped writing and looked up at the door. Sure enough, it was her.
At this moment, Ding Qiunan had already reached the door and pulled Lou Xiao'e inside.
"Hello, Brother Chu."
"Where are you, Da Mao, and the child? Why are you all alone?"
"Da Mao went to the countryside. He just left yesterday and probably won't be back for another two days. His mother took the child back to stay for a few days."
"Xiao'e, please sit down." Ding Qiunan led Lou Xiao'e to a chair and then prepared to pour her some water.
"Qiu Nan, don't be busy. I came here today to ask Brother Chu to take a look at me. I seem to have..." Lou Xiao'e seemed a little embarrassed as she said this, her face turning slightly red.
Seeing her appearance, Li Chu and Ding Qiunan immediately realized what was going on.
"Xiao'e, you're pregnant?" Ding Qiunan stopped pouring water, took Lou Xiao'e's hand, and asked with some envy.
"I'm not sure either, so I wanted to let Brother Chu take a look."
"Li Chu, quick, take Xiao'e's pulse." Ding Qiunan turned her head and arranged for her husband to do so.
Li Chu looked at Ding Qiunan and Lou Xiao'e and smiled: "Qiunan, don't you also know how to take a pulse? You try it first and see if you can get the right feeling."
"Ah, I'll do it?" Ding Qiunan looked at her husband in a bit of a panic, then at Lou Xiao'e.
"Qiu Nan, you can take pulses too?" Lou Xiao'e was quite surprised; she really didn't know Ding Qiu Nan could take pulses.
“I studied under him for a while before,” Ding Qiunan said, gesturing with her chin towards her husband.
"Then take my pulse first." With that, Lou Xiao'e stretched out her arm, pulled up her sleeve a little, and placed it on the table.
It's just taking a pulse; even if it's inaccurate, it doesn't matter.
Ding Qiunan looked towards her husband, Li Chu smiled and nodded at her, then handed her the pulse pillow.
Lou Xiao'e placed her hand on the pulse pillow and looked at her best friend with a smile.
After taking a few deep breaths, Ding Qiunan, as if she were about to die, resolutely reached out to take Lou Xiao'e's pulse.
Li Chu ignored what was happening there and focused on writing in his notes. He had gotten into the habit of recording the condition of the patients he saw each day so that he could look it up later or pass it on to his apprentices.
"Li Chu, I'm not sure!"
A few minutes later, Ding Qiunan's dejected voice reached my ears.
Without even looking up, Li Chu asked directly, "What are the signs of a pregnancy pulse?"
"Hmm..." Ding Qiunan thought for a moment before saying, "It should be like a ball rolling back and forth rapidly."
"Don't rush to touch what I've let you touch before. Calm down and experience it carefully."
Today we're meeting acquaintances, which is a rare learning opportunity that we should seize.
After hearing her husband's words, Ding Qiunan looked at Lou Xiao'e with a guilty expression.
Lou Xiao'e didn't think anything of it, and instead comforted her, saying, "It's okay, Qiu Nan, take your time, it's nothing serious anyway."
Ding Qiunan took a few deep breaths, closed her eyes to compose herself, and then resumed taking the pulse.
About ten minutes later, Ding Qiunan exclaimed happily, "I felt it! It's a pregnancy pulse! Li Chu, check again to confirm. Congratulations, Xiao'e!"
Lou Xiao'e smiled, her face slightly flushed.
Li Chu put down his pen, stood up, and sat in the spot his wife had vacated to take his pulse.
"Yes, that's right. Qiu Nan, did you remember the feeling of pregnancy this time?"
"Yes, I remember it clearly." Ding Qiunan was clearly very excited.
Li Chu moved aside and sat back down in his own seat. After thinking for a moment, he wrote a prescription for Lou Xiao'e.
"Xiao'e, you're still a bit malnourished. This shouldn't be the case given your family's circumstances. Are you being too picky about food?"
Lou Xiao'e lowered her head somewhat embarrassed.
Li Chu didn't say much; it was just a personal habit.
“After you go back, eat an egg every day and eat more fruit. I believe your father can definitely get these.”
As he spoke, Li Chu handed the prescription to Lou Xiao'e and added, "Xiao'e, this is your second pregnancy, so I won't say anything more. When Damao comes back, you need to explain it to him clearly."

"Have Qiu Nan take you there to get the medicine."
"Come on, Xiao'e, I'll take you there. It's almost time to get off work. Let's have dinner at my house later, since you're all alone."
Watching the two walk out of the clinic hand in hand, Li Chu smiled and shook his head.
I never imagined that Xu Damao would be having a second child so soon.
He couldn't possibly miss the envious look in his wife's eyes, but he was also puzzled as to why they couldn't conceive a second child.
