Chapter 316
Sure enough, Shitou's father and Shitou felt both guilty and moved, just as Tang Wan thought.
At this time Captain Hu happened to come over and saw them putting aside their grudges with a smile. He admired Tang Wan very much.
"It's great that you can all come to your senses. Go back and take good care of your children."
Captain Hu looked at the stone and said, "Don't go to that dangerous place in the future, understand?"
"Yeah, I see."
Shitou was so scared that he dared not go to such a dangerous place again.
Finally, Xiaohu's father carried Xiaohu back home, and they took care of their own household chores.
Tang Wan looked at the dirty quilt in the room and said to Captain Hu with apologetic look:
"Uncle, I'll wash this quilt and send it back to you."
“No, no.”
Captain Hu waved his hand quickly and said, "Leave this quilt with you. It will be useful to people from our team who come to see a doctor in the future."
"Then I have to help clean it up first."
Aunt Hu came in smiling, and when she saw the bloodstains on the quilt, she frowned slightly.
"Xiao Tang, I'll wash it and bring it back to you."
"No need, auntie, the cotton is so thick in this life, you can keep it for yourselves."
Tang Wan felt a little embarrassed. It seemed that she would have to put another set of bedding in the next room.
Aunt Hu laughed and said, "Xiao Tang, I took this quilt back because I couldn't bear to part with it.
I know you doctors like cleanliness and are particular about it, so washing it clean will make it more convenient for you to use it later."
She really didn't mean anything else, and Captain Hu also laughed, "We are all from the same brigade.
It's OK, Xiaohu, it's just a quilt. I'll collect some cotton tickets and come back to make another one for our family."
Captain Hu’s family is not actually rich, but he is the captain and he should set an example in many things.
He is indeed a good captain, and even his wife supports him.
Hearing this, Tang Wan no longer insisted and just asked them to notify the pregnant women in the team to come for the consultation.
She went into the house and ate the eggs given by Xiaohu's father, and also made a cup of maltose and drank it.
Afraid that she would be too busy to have time for lunch, Tang Wan made a cup of cereal and went to the kitchen to cook some porridge.
By the time everything was ready, many people had already arrived in the yard.
I didn’t expect that there were eight or nine pregnant women in the small Huzhuang Brigade.
Come to think of it, there is no family planning in this era, so as long as you get pregnant, you basically have the baby.
Tang Wan remembered that almost every family in that era had many children.
Tang Wan noticed Captain Hu’s eldest daughter-in-law Zhang Xiaoju with her sharp eyes, probably because of her father-in-law’s status in the brigade.
So all these pregnant women stood behind her, feeling as if they were holding her in their arms.
"Come one by one."
Tang Wan placed a table and stools in the main room, and prepared paper and pen, "It's inconvenient for you both because you are pregnant.
You can go get a stool from home and sit and wait. It’s not that fast to be alone.”
"Go get it at my house. It's close."
Zhang Xiaoju was somewhat proud. After all, her father-in-law was the team leader and her family conditions were the best in the Huzhuang Brigade.
Compared to those pregnant women with sallow complexion, big belly and little fat on their body.
This Xiaoju looks much better.
Aunt Hu seemed to have heard the commotion and brought a lot of stools from home. She smiled and said to Tang Wan:
"Xiao Tang, don't be anxious, take your time."
"Thank you, Auntie."
Tang Wan nodded slightly and took the pulses of each pregnant woman. The common problem they all had was malnutrition.
Think about it, this is actually normal in this poor era.
I don’t know what Zhang Xiaoju was thinking. She always gave way to other pregnant women and sat at the back.
"Xiao Ju, what are you doing sitting there like an idiot?"
Aunt Hu was a little puzzled. Her daughter-in-law was usually so active, so why was she hiding now?
"Mom, I'm a little tired. Let them watch first."
Zhang Xiaoju sat there, holding her waist. It was such a cold day, and Tang Wan vaguely saw that she seemed to be wiping the sweat from her palms.
"It's okay. I'm here today anyway."
Tang Wan smiled at Aunt Hu and asked about the height, weight and month of pregnancy of the pregnant woman in front of her.
And then he carefully examined her pulse.
After recording everything, Tang Wan told her how to adjust her diet based on her symptoms.
After hearing this, the pregnant woman looked very unhappy and Deng Xiaomei pursed her lips.
"Will my malnutrition affect my child?"
"Of course it will affect the child's development."
Tang Wan whispered to Deng Xiaomei: "To have a child, you also need the mother's Qi and blood.
The one in front of you is just slightly malnourished, but your problem is more serious.
If this continues, it will be bad for you and the child."
"My family is so poor, how can I get the money to help them?"
Deng Xiaomei muttered something, didn't say any more to Tang Wan, got up and left, obviously not taking Tang Wan's words to heart.
Looking at her back, Aunt Hu said unhappily, "Doctor Xiao Tang, don't take it to heart.
The conditions of our team members are really not that good. I will talk about Xiaomei later."
"I know, auntie."
Tang Wan sighed, "It's just that her condition is a little serious. If it continues like this, it will affect the development of the fetus.
The fetus may not be able to stay in her body until full term."
As soon as she finished saying this, Deng Xiaomei, who hadn't even reached the gate of the courtyard, almost stumbled and fell.
She stood there dazed, holding onto the gate, her face pale.
"Xiaomei!"
The people in the brigade were simple and kind. Those who were close to her hurriedly supported Deng Xiaomei, while Tang Wan had already walked away quickly.
Judging from her condition, it is obvious that she has hypoglycemia.
"You have low blood sugar."
Tang Wan took out a candy from her pocket. She didn't dare to buy White Rabbit or something like that.
It was just some ordinary candy delivered to Deng Xiaomei by the supply and marketing cooperative.
"I bought this for my child. You can eat one first."
"Um."
Deng Xiaomei took the candy with her black paws, tore open the package and put it into her mouth.
After eating the candy, her expression gradually eased. Aunt Hu really couldn't help it.
"Xiaomei, you are pregnant now, so ask your family to keep a close eye on you. It would be no joke if you fainted."
"Thank you, Auntie. This is not the first time. I was fine before. Don't worry, I'm fine."
Deng Xiaomei didn't take it seriously and smiled at Tang Wan, "Thank you, Doctor Tang.
The kids at home are waiting for me to cook, so I’ll go back first.”
She couldn't wait to leave. Tang Wan watched her steps from a distance and felt a little unsteady.
This person is really stubborn.
Aunt Hu couldn't help shaking her head, "Give birth, give birth. She's already had so many babies and she's still going to have more. She's going to break down sooner or later!"
There was obviously something behind this statement. As a stranger, Tang Wan naturally did not want to ask too much and just went back to the main room and sat down.
"Xiaoju, it's your turn."
Aunt Hu was obviously very concerned about her daughter-in-law's health, so she didn't leave.
She helped Zhang Xiaoju sit down in front of Tang Wan, and Zhang Xiaoju reported her age, month and weight.
Tang Wan's hand fell on her pulse, and seeing that she kept her mouth open and pursed her lips, she asked:
"Are you thirsty now?"
"Well, I've been feeling thirsty lately, and I tend to sweat easily when I move."
Zhang Xiaoju didn't think it was a big deal, after all, all pregnant women should be like this.
