"He's back. He just went out again. I guess he went to play with that Han kid up ahead." Commander Guo told the guards who came back with him to eat with them.
Marshal Li's bodyguard, Xiao Liu, was also waiting outside early, otherwise there wouldn't be enough room in the car.
Suti heard that her brother had taken people out again, so it seems that her brother and Baichuan get along quite well!
She knew the Han family; she and his brother used to be classmates, but now she worked in a government agency, taking a different path from his brother.
Suti had only eaten half of his meal when the two of them returned arm in arm, both with smiles on their faces.
"Honey, you're back? Are you tired?" The two, who were just like best buddies a moment ago, parted ways just like that.
Li Baichuan's eyes lit up the moment he saw his wife, and he completely forgot about his brother-in-law.
Su Lin: "..."
He was the one who put his arm around his shoulder just now!
"I'm not tired. Where did you and my brother go today?" Su Ti asked, listening to Li Baichuan while eating.
He told me that her brother took him to People's Park and then to several food alleys, all of which were places that couldn't be openly operated.
However, his brother grew up here and there was no place he didn't know. He even took Baichuan to meet his cronies and then took a walk around his parents' residential compound.
Whenever the two meet, they lean on each other and have endless things to talk about. Their families are secretly delighted to see how well the young couple gets along.
Su Lin snorted as he watched the two of them. This kid wasn't like this in front of him just now; he was so aloof.
He almost thought he was mute, huh!
"I'm finished eating, let's go." Suti eats slowly, while her grandmother and mother had already finished eating and were packing up their things.
Seeing that her family was waiting for her, Suti hurriedly swallowed the last bite of her food and stood up.
"No rush, we can go after we've eaten." Guo Xuqing was genuinely worried; her daughter had always been a slow eater.
Their family was very lively and energetic; she and her brothers used to fight over food when they were little.
When she gave birth to her eldest child, he was a complete glutton, but when it came to her little girl, she was so slow!
She'd been told this, but she just couldn't change. Then her mother said that a little girl has to be like this, otherwise what's the point of being so carefree?
Only Baichuan had the patience; she couldn't help but want to say something several times.
"I'm full." Suti really was full; she knew her mother was hesitant and wanted to say she ate too slowly.
"Alright, bring some cookies and snacks, you can eat them if you get hungry on the way."
Grandma Guo shook her head. It's not a long trip, just to the hospital. If she gets hungry, she can eat when she gets back.
Suti urged everyone to set off quickly, as she wanted to give them a surprise.
Su Ti is very familiar with the Shanghai Military Region Hospital; when she was a child, her grandmother often brought her to work with her.
"Is the little girl here?"
"Girls really do change a lot as they grow up. It's only been a little over a year since I last saw her, and she's become more and more beautiful."
“I look like I’ve gained a lot of weight. It seems like I didn’t suffer in the countryside. Otherwise, your grandma would be heartbroken.”
As soon as Suti arrived at her grandmother's office, a lot of people gathered around.
They were all acquaintances, many of whom had watched her grow up. Except for a few nurses she had never met before, she knew everyone else.
This also included her maternal grandmother's students, who were all about the same age as her parents and addressed her as either "aunt" or "uncle."
"Aren't you busy today?" Grandma Guo asked, seeing everyone sitting in the office, thinking there shouldn't be any surgeries today.
"No rush. There's an operation this morning, so there's nothing to do right now. Is Xiaonannan here for a prenatal checkup? Director Guo, you can take her over first. We'll handle things here."
Even during the Lunar New Year, doctors don't get holidays; at most, they take turns on duty for each other.
Grandma Guo was getting old and was supposed to retire from seeing patients, but due to family matters, she took a leave of absence at the end of the year.
Thinking of her own plans, and realizing this wasn't the time to discuss this, Grandma Guo nodded to them and led her family to the women's department.
Nowadays, there are no gynecology or obstetrics departments; they are all referred to as women's departments.
Commander Guo had already made arrangements, and the director personally conducted the prenatal checkup for Su Ti.
"Director Guo, why did you come in person?" The head of the women's department saw that Director Guo had come in person, and thinking about it, Guo's little girl understood.
Even if they're not from the same department, they're from the same hospital, and she sees the little girl often; she's the Guo family's darling.
“My baby girl is now over three months old, almost four months old, and this is her first formal prenatal checkup. We are worried.”
After Mrs. Guo finished speaking, the director of the women's department realized that there was a crowd of people outside the door.
Goodness, this is a prenatal checkup for one person, and several generations of their family have come.
The head of the women's department wasn't stupid; she had also heard that Director Guo's daughter had become an educated youth in the countryside and married a countryman.
Many people felt it was a pity at the time. They thought that the Guo family was a good match, and if they really wanted to find someone, they could have easily found someone better than that country bumpkin.
They were probably tricked by the country folk, and they all secretly regretted it.
But now it doesn't seem like that at all. The groom's family looks even more imposing than the Guo family.
The head of the women's department thought that rumors were deadly. She said, "How could Guo's little girl have married into the countryside?"
Even if they were outmaneuvered, the Guo family wouldn't care about such things.
"She looks well-cared for, let me take a look." The head of the gynecology department became even more enthusiastic towards Su Ti, and pulled her aside to do a basic examination first.
Finally, they led the person into the ultrasound room. Their machines in Shanghai are the most advanced, and the room has the most complete equipment.
Guo Xuqing and his mother went inside, while the men waited outside.
When Suti revealed her belly, the head of the gynecology department frowned.
"Director Guo, isn't it less than four months?" She wondered if she had misremembered the date. Her belly looked quite large.
"Yes!" Grandma Guo was also taken aback. Having given birth to so many children herself, she knew that Su Ti's belly looked quite big.
For first-time mothers, a girl's belly is usually quite tight; many women don't even show their belly until three or four months into their pregnancy. It looks like she's eaten too much, and her belly is hard.
The belly will only start to grow big after six months. If the pregnancy is going well, the belly may not be big until delivery.
She hadn't noticed her daughter's belly because she was wearing so many clothes in winter, but she realized something was wrong when she took off her clothes.
Her daughter isn't fat at all; her belly looks bigger than five months along.
"Let me take a look first." We're all doctors, not to mention we've all given birth, so some things don't need to be said explicitly; everyone understands.
Suti understood perfectly what they meant.
She pretended not to know anything, lay down obediently, and watched as the director lifted up a dark machine.
Then they put something on her stomach that felt cool and refreshing.
"Huh?" The head of the women's department, who had been worried, burst out laughing.
