Go to the countryside

Before the list of free clinics for the first week was finalized, Ye Min received good news that Qian Xiaoyun had started the movement.

Ding Yang's parents arrived at their place of residence a few days ago. After they arrived, they originally wanted Qian Xiaoyun to take a leave to rest at home. After all, she is now pregnant and cannot be careless.

But Qian Xiaoyun convinced them by saying that it would be more convenient to launch the operation in the hospital, and they insisted on working until the very last moment.

She was lucky that the attack happened during work. After she felt the contraction, it took her less than three minutes to walk from the office building to the obstetrics and gynecology department.

It was also very convenient to contact her family. There was a telephone in the hospital. After she called, Ding Yang arrived at the hospital in less than ten minutes.

Qian Xiaoyun was just having contractions and it was not time for her to be put on the delivery bed. After Ding Yang arrived at the obstetrics and gynecology department, she was taken directly to the ward by the nurse.

When I entered the ward, I saw Qian Xiaoyun being supported by a nurse, walking back and forth in the ward. Because of the pain, every step was difficult for her. Her eyebrows were tightly wrinkled and beads of sweat were already appearing on her forehead.

Ding Yang quickly stepped forward to support Qian Xiaoyun and asked, "Aren't you about to give birth? Why are you still walking around?"

Qian Xiaoyun said patiently: "The doctor said this will help with childbirth."

However, although walking is beneficial for childbirth, it also consumes physical energy. Giving birth is a tough battle, and she needs to conserve her energy before going to the delivery bed. After Qian Xiaoyun continued to walk for a few minutes with Ding Yang's support, she returned to the bed to rest.

It was only then that Ding Yang noticed that there was nothing in the ward. He wanted to pour a glass of water for Qian Xiaoyun but failed, so he asked, "Dad and Mom haven't come yet?"

"We haven't had time to notify them yet." Qian Xiaoyun said.

Ding Yang wanted to go back to inform his parents and pack some things, but he was worried about Qian Xiaoyun staying alone in the ward, so he asked, "Does your sister-in-law know about what you did?"

"I haven't had time to inform her yet."

Although they both worked in the hospital, they were in different departments and did not work together. After she started, she was directly supported by her colleagues in the finance department to go to the obstetrics and gynecology department. She was sweating all the way from the office building to the obstetrics and gynecology department, and she really did not have the energy to look for Ye Min.

It's not that he couldn't ask a colleague to help call her, but she was at work and there must be patients, so after consideration, Qian Xiaoyun didn't specifically ask someone to notify Ye Min.

But news spread quickly in the hospital. Ye Min had already heard about Qian Xiaoyun's action. Taking advantage of the fact that there were only a few patients on hand, she took some time out to visit the ward.

Upon learning that Qian Xiaoyun was just experiencing cramps and that it would take some time before she gave birth, Ye Min did not stay in the ward for long. She spoke to the couple for a few words, went to the Finance Department to pour Qian Xiaoyun a cup of hot water, and then returned to the Internal Medicine Department to continue her work.

After get off work, Ye Min went to wait outside the hospital first. When she saw Meng Cheng, she told him about Qian Xiaoyun's incident and asked him to go back to get food for the two children and notify Ding Yang's parents. After that, she went to the obstetrics ward again.

After entering the ward, Ye Min said, "I told Meng Cheng to go back and tell your parents to pack some clothes and come over." She then asked what the couple wanted to eat, and she went to the cafeteria to get some food.

Even though the baby is about to be born, I still need to have dinner. If I am hungry, I might run out of energy halfway through the birth.

Although the two families had a good relationship, Ding Yang still felt embarrassed to bother Ye Min too much, so he quickly said, "I'll go get some food, you stay here with Xiaoyun."

After hearing this, Qian Xiaoyun also suggested that he go run errands. Ye Min did not refuse and stayed in the ward to accompany his friend.

When Ding Yang was around, Qian Xiaoyun looked very calm, but as soon as he left, she showed some uneasiness in her eyes. Ye Min saw this and comforted her, "Sister Xu from the obstetrics department is an expert. She has delivered hundreds of babies since she started working. With her around, you will definitely be able to give birth safely."

There may not be other benefits to working in a hospital, but it is not difficult to find a good doctor to help with the delivery. Qian Xiaoyun had considered asking Dr. Xu to help with the delivery and naturally trusted him.

But... she said with a wry smile: "I know it clearly in my heart, but when it comes to this moment, I can't help but feel nervous."

"It's inevitable to be nervous. I was also very nervous when I gave birth to An An. But the more nervous you are, the more you need to eat and drink enough so that you can have the strength to give birth to a child. Don't you agree?"

Qian Xiaoyun actually had no appetite, but she knew that what Ye Min said made sense. Dr. Xu had just come to see her and reminded her to rest well, so she said, "I'll try to eat more."

Pregnant women are very particular about what they eat during labor. The diet must be balanced and easy to digest, so Ding Yang ordered hot soup noodles. The soup noodles were very large, Qian Xiaoyun ate half of it, and the rest went into Ding Yang's stomach.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Ding Yang's parents also came over. The old couple carried large and small bags. In addition to Qian Xiaoyun's clothes, they also brought clothes, diapers, milk powder, bottles, as well as a washbasin, foot basin, and warm water kettle for the child.

After they arrived, Qian Xiaoyun asked Ye Min to go back and rest. It might take more than ten hours from starting to giving birth. She started at around three in the afternoon and might not give birth until the early morning. Ye Min still had to go to work tomorrow, so there was no need for her to stay here all the time. Besides, she was not unattended.

Ye Min was persuaded and sat in the ward for a while, then left at a little after seven o'clock.

After returning home, Meng Cheng asked about Qian Xiaoyun's condition and learned that she might not give birth until the early morning. He asked, "Are you still going over later?"

Ye Min said, "I can't go. Ding Yang and his parents are here. I'll just sit there and do nothing."

Meng Cheng suggested, "Okay, let's go to bed early today, get up early tomorrow, and go to the hospital to see my sister-in-law after dinner?"

"Um."

…

Because she was worried about Qian Xiaoyun, Ye Min did not sleep well that night and got up very early the next day.

Considering that she had to go to the hospital to visit a good friend, she did not exercise in the morning. After washing up, she went to the cafeteria with Meng Cheng to buy breakfast, and came back to wake up the two children and wash them.

After breakfast, Ye Min first sent Meng Zheng to the next door and asked him to wait for Dongdong to go to the seedling class together, and then sent An An to her home to help take care of her.

When they arrived at the hospital, Meng Cheng did not go to the army as usual, but went into the hospital with Ye Min to visit Qian Xiaoyun in the obstetrics and gynecology department.

It was already past seven o'clock, and many patients in the inpatient department were getting up one after another. The corridor was not quiet, and people were walking through it all the time. The ward where Qian Xiaoyun lived was very quiet. Her child, who was born at around four in the morning, was sleeping now.

Ding Yang's father had gone home, but his mother was there, but she obviously didn't sleep well last night and was lying on the empty bed. Ding Yang was lying next to Qian Xiaoyun's bed, but he was not sleeping that soundly. He woke up when he heard the knock on the door, raised his hand to rub his eyes, and got up to open the door.

Seeing Ye Min and his wife, he smiled unconsciously and said, "You guys are here?"

Ye Min glanced into the ward: "Xiao Yun is still sleeping? Is the baby born?"

Although he was very sleepy, Ding Yang's eyes lit up when he thought of his wife and child. He said with a smile, "It's born. It was born at around 4 o'clock in the morning. It weighed 5.82 kilograms. It's a fat boy."

5.8 kg is not considered heavy for a newborn, but it is not thin either, so it is not a problem for Ding Yang to say so. Ye Min was very happy for him and Qian Xiaoyun, and said, "It's good that the child is healthy. What about Xiaoyun? How is she?"

"It's fine, but he fell asleep after feeding the baby at around five o'clock..." Ding Yang said hesitantly. He wanted to invite them in to sit down, but he was a little worried about waking up his wife and child.

Ye Min didn't want to disturb Qian Xiaoyun and the child from sleeping, so she stepped back and said, "In that case, let's not go in. I'll come see her in the morning when I'm free."

Ding Yang quickly said, "Okay."

Although she didn't see Qian Xiaoyun and the baby in the morning, Ye Min was very happy to know that they were safe. When she was not so busy in the morning, she went to the obstetrics ward.

Qian Xiaoyun was awake this time. She had just given birth and was in pain down there. She had been sleeping intermittently. Although she was awake, she was very sleepy. However, she was in good spirits and smiled when she saw Ye Min coming in.

Because Ding's mother was still sleeping, Ye Min walked into the ward and asked Qian Xiaoyun a few questions in a low voice about her physical condition. After making sure that she was fine, she lowered her head to look at the child.

The newborn boy has reddish, wrinkled skin, and it's hard to tell whether he's good-looking or not, but you can see that his facial features combine the best features of Qian Xiaoyun and Ding Yang: long eyes, a straight nose, and thick black eyebrows and hair.

"This child will definitely be good-looking when he grows up." After praising the child, Ye Min asked him if he had chosen a name.

Parents love to hear people praise their children. Qian Xiaoyun smiled with narrowed eyes: "It's confirmed, his name is Ding Chaoyang. I hope his future will be bright and warm."

Ye Min nodded in agreement: "This name has a good meaning."

Because she had work to do, Ye Min didn't stay in the ward for long and returned to her job soon. In the afternoon, Ye Min also visited Qian Xiaoyun and her son, so she went home directly after get off work in the evening.

However, when Meng Zheng and his sister learned that Qian Xiaoyun had given birth to a younger brother, they both wanted to go to the hospital to visit. So after dinner, Ye Min's family all came to the hospital.

When An An saw Ding Chaoyang's appearance, her eyebrows were tightly wrinkled. She thought her brother was so ugly, not at all like the soft, fair and tender brother she had imagined.

Meng Zheng was very calm, because he also thought his sister was not pretty when she was born, but she became pretty as she grew up, so he believed that his brother would also become pretty.

The bullet screen was filled with emotion:

[Who would have thought that in the original novel, Ding Yang and Qian Xiaoyun, two people who had nothing in common, actually got married in the plot simulation! ]

[Not only are they married, but they also have a very good relationship. In the original novel, they each got married and divorced, and they didn't have children in middle age. Their lives are quite fulfilling.]

[Actually, if you think about it, it is not impossible that they met in the original novel. They didn't know each other before because Qian Xiaoyun might not have joined the army, and their hometowns were not in the same place. After they became rich, they both looked for Meng Zheng and his sister. Later, Meng Zheng was released from prison and started a successful business, which was also inseparable from their help. Maybe they will meet one day]

[Don't tell me, this is really possible! ]

[Ding Yang and Qian Xiaoyun's family is reunited. When will Ye Min and Meng Cheng's family of four be reunited? Can Meng Cheng really survive the mission in May? ]

[I also want to know if Meng Cheng can survive, but if Ye Min is really reborn, she should do something, right? But now I haven't seen her take any action! ]

[Fuck! Stop talking, it’s so scary! I don’t want to be tortured…]

Looking at the bullet screen above An An's head, Ye Min unconsciously held Meng Cheng's hand. She also hoped that their family could be happy.

…

Considering that it is relatively convenient to see a doctor in a commune close to the place of residence or the county seat, this free clinic started from remote areas.

It's too far to travel back and forth. Yunnan Province itself is mountainous and it's difficult to access roads. So the two places may be only a few dozen kilometers apart on the map, but to drive there, you have to take a detour of hundreds of kilometers.

It takes several hours to drive hundreds of kilometers. In order to save time and for safety reasons, the free clinic had to stay in the homes of local villagers during the first month. Later, the teams that were not so far away could go back and forth on the same day.

Just looking at the accommodation, you can tell that the conditions in the first month are more difficult, so there are relatively fewer people signing up. But correspondingly, those who are willing to participate in the free clinic in the first month are more hardworking, and the petty ones will choose to sign up for the free clinic in the second month. Unless there are too many people signing up for the second month, they will be transferred over.

However, not many people are willing to take the medicine. After all, the hospital organizes free clinics to cure diseases and save lives. If the medical staff involved are too petty, they may not only be unable to help, but also hinder the progress of the free clinic.

The personnel who participated in the free clinic changed every week, so Ye Min would not be back until six days later. Moreover, she was the team leader, so she could only stay at home for one day after returning, and had to set out again the next day.

Therefore, although Meng Cheng changed his mind and decided to support Ye Min to go to the free clinic, it was hard not to worry when he knew that she would have to stay away for the previous month.

Meng Zheng and An An also couldn't bear to part with Ye Min.

Because of work reasons, Meng Cheng always has to go out on missions several times a year, and when there is a zipper, he often comes back for a few days, so now the brother and sister are accustomed to going out for a few days from time to time.

But Ye Min has never been separated from her two children for more than a day since they were born, so the siblings rely more on their mother than their father.

The two children were very sad to learn that Ye Min was going away. In the days before she left, they would snuggle up with her to sleep every night.

Meng Cheng originally wanted to get closer to Ye Min while she was not busy, but who would have thought that let alone getting close, the two of them could hardly talk to each other in the nights before Ye Min left home because there were two chattering light bulbs between them.

On the day of departure, except for the lack of training, everything was normal for the family of four. However, on the way to the hospital, Meng Cheng was carrying a backpack in his hand.

The backpack belonged to Ye Min. They were going to a free clinic, not an autumn outing, so they kept their luggage simple. She only brought one set of outer clothes.

The couple walked side by side to the hospital entrance and stopped.

Meng Cheng handed the backpack to Ye Min and said, "Be careful on the road. Don't trust strangers easily. If anything happens, contact me immediately."

Ye Min also said solemnly: "Don't worry, I will act prudently and return safely."

After they finished talking, the two hugged each other for a while, and after they separated, Ye Min carried her luggage to the department.

After showing up at the department, Ye Min went to the conference room to meet with the medical staff who were participating in the free clinic for the first time. After taking attendance, the group went outside to catch a bus.

The driver's surname is Zhou, he is 22 years old this year. Although he is not very old, he has been in the army for five years and he speaks and acts in an orderly manner.

They set out at around eight in the morning and arrived at around twelve, just in time for lunch.

The hospital communicated with the local commune in advance, and the commune leaders also welcomed Ye Min and his team's arrival. This was because their commune was too remote. Although there was a health hospital, there was only one formal doctor with not very good medical skills. The people in the brigades below had to go to the barefoot doctors for medical treatment, and difficulty in seeing a doctor had long been a chronic problem.

In order to welcome Ye Min and his group, the local commune specially prepared lunch. After they had their meal, they took a military truck and continued to go to the countryside.

The commune had already communicated with the brigade secretaries about the medical treatment. In order not to waste time, the brigades they were going to had their holidays early. A group of people were gathered at the brigade for the sunbathing. Ye Min and his colleagues went straight to work as soon as they got off the bus.

Country people are thankful if they can find a barefoot doctor for medical treatment. Most people may not have the opportunity to go to a hospital for several years, dozens of years, or even their entire lives.

This time the military hospital went to the countryside to provide free medical treatment, so naturally everyone would not miss this opportunity. Regardless of whether they were sick or not, they all lined up.

Fortunately, each doctor brought a nurse to assist in this free clinic. With their help in registration, the doctors only needed to see patients, which saved a lot of time.

Although there were many people lining up, most of them were simply malnourished, with less than half actually being sick. So the line looked long, but it actually moved very quickly.

There were at least a hundred families in one brigade, and many people were having children at that time, so there were at least four or five hundred people in one brigade. It was impossible to see all the patients in one afternoon, so the free clinic lasted until nine o'clock in the evening.

The educated youth lined up at the end of the free clinic. Although they had been in the countryside for several years, they had basically learned the local dialect and looked no different from the locals, except that they looked more polite. But they were outsiders after all, and rarely took the lead in doing things, and rarely acted alone.

Before coming here, Ye Min had looked at the list. There were three educated youths named Tian who were sent to work in the countryside here, two men and one woman.

Because Ye Min was a general practitioner of internal medicine, the three of them lined up in front of her. There were not many people seeing the doctor at that time, so Ye Min had time to talk to them.

Among the three educated youth, the two male ones were quite tall and did not look like they could pretend to be pregnant women. However, Ye Min did not take it lightly. She asked them one by one and roughly figured out their identities.

Two of the three were born into working-class families, and one, like Qian Xiaoyun, had parents who made a living by setting up stalls before the founding of the People's Republic of China and was not considered a capitalist.

After finishing the free clinic, Ye Min returned to the villager's home where he was staying. After a simple wash and returning to his room, he took out a transcribed list of educated youth and noted the situation of the three people at the back.

The next morning, after a quick breakfast, the group hurried to the next group.

The next group was adjacent to the group that received medical treatment on the first day, so the journey did not take too long. However, there were many people in this group, and they did not finish the medical consultation until around seven or eight in the evening.

There were two educated youth named Tian in this brigade, both men. One of them was not tall, only about 1.6 meters tall, and looked very thin, but his facial features looked very rough, and he didn't look like someone who could play a pregnant woman.

Ask about the ingredients and there will be no problem.

For the next month, Ye Min didn't meet anyone who met the requirements.

There are two possibilities for this situation. One is that they have not yet arrived at the brigade where that person is. The other is that the place where that person went to work in the countryside is not Donghe County. On the day when Meng Cheng had the accident in his previous life, that person took a bus from other counties and cities to Donghe.

Ye Min hoped it was the former, otherwise they would have to start the second plan.

During this time, Ye Min and Meng Cheng discussed the second plan, which was to pretend to receive secret information two or three days in advance and take control of the Donghe County Bus Station in advance.

The time cannot be too early. Although it is secret information, the troops need to verify it. If the problem is found too early, the army leaders may not take it seriously. It cannot be too late either. If the extremists also gather at the bus station in advance, the two sides may accidentally meet each other and no one knows what will happen.

Although theoretically the second plan could successfully destroy their actions, it would certainly not be as good as catching the educated youth named Tian.

Therefore, although Ye Min still had nothing to show for it after April, she did not give up. Every time she went to a brigade, she would try to get information from the families of the brigade leaders or the educated youth.

It wasn't until early April that things finally began to take shape.
