Chapter 64 Twins

This year was the most comfortable year for Gu Ye and Shen Zhiyou.

There are no tasks other than training, and school will not open until after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

The two of them stayed at home and slept until they woke up naturally every day. When they got up, Gu Ye would cook and then take a walk after dinner.

Comfortable and relaxed.

But I don’t know if it was because she had too comfortable this year, but when she arrived at school, the teacher in the office was shocked when he saw Shen Zhiyou’s belly.

"Xiao Shen, how many months have you been here? How come your belly is so big?"

Shen Zhiyou calculated, "Seven months."

She looked at her belly every day and felt that it was not that big.

And according to Fu Chunmei, her fetal position is relatively posterior.

For those with a forward fetal position, the belly will be so big in the late stages of pregnancy that it seems like it is going to fall off.

Yi Dehua couldn't say for sure. Shen Zhiyou's belly was actually not that big, but because she had a posterior fetal position, her belly shouldn't be as big as it is now.

But it was difficult to say what to say, so I tactfully reminded her that she could go to the hospital for a check-up.

"Nowadays, when lesbians in the city get pregnant, they will go to the hospital for a prenatal check-up, which is good for both the adults and the children."

I had heard from Chen Cuijuan before that the doctors in the hospital were much better than the midwives in the village.

This is the first child for the couple. Although Shen Zhiyou still does what she has to do every day, she is also very careful. After hearing what her colleague said, she went back and told Gu Ye.

I was thinking of going there during my weekend break.

Who would have thought that after hearing this, the man didn't even eat and went to the hospital for a check-up first.

Just like what Yi Dehua said, now many people in the city will go for a check-up before giving birth.

This way you can know the baby's condition and estimate the due date more accurately so you can stay in the hospital in advance.

When they got there, a young couple had just finished their check-up in front of them.

"Why are you here now? The baby is about to be born. Hurry up. Why are you still standing here? Go and get admitted to the hospital."

Shen Zhiyou and Gu Ye looked at each other and saw guilt in each other's eyes.

Shen Zhiyou, in particular, felt a little uneasy.

Gu Ye shook her hand and said, "It's okay. We will come for regular checkups later."

Shen Zhiyou responded, and after the people inside came out, the two of them stood up and walked in.

"How many months?"

"Seven months."

After asking some basic questions, the doctor took out a blood pressure measuring instrument, first measured Shen Zhiyou's blood pressure, and then listened to her heartbeat.

Everything is fine here.

He also praised Shen Zhiyou for being in good physical condition and encouraged her to maintain it.

Shen Zhiyou couldn't help but curl her eyes and smiled at Gu Ye with a bit of pride.

She kept saying that she was in good health.

Gu Ye was frightened when Chen Cuijuan said that she was a premature baby and was weaker than others. Normally, she would get very nervous even if she sneezed.

Seeing her like this, Gu Ye also smiled.

But before they could finish being happy, the smiles on their faces disappeared immediately when the doctor used a stethoscope to listen to the fetal heartbeat on her belly.

"Have you come to check before?"

The doctor suddenly became serious. Shen Zhiyou and Gu Ye also became nervous and shook their heads: "Doctor, is there any problem?"

"Nothing's wrong, but you didn't notice anything wrong?"

The doctors in the military hospital were also former soldiers on the battlefield.

When he spoke expressionlessly, the pressure was so great that Shen Zhiyou, a teacher, felt like a student meeting the dean of studies. He sat up straight and said, "No, he eats well and sleeps well. Every time after dinner, the baby is happy and moves around in my stomach and plays with me."

Doctor: ".......You have two babies in your belly."

Shen Zhiyou, Gu Ye: “.......???”

Two kids?

What does that mean?

She's pregnant with twins?!

Shen Zhiyou's heart skipped a beat, and the doctor's eyelids jumped as well. "Why are you so excited? Twins are great, and both the child and the adult are fine. But we need to prepare more things, and one more thing."

The doctor paused, and both of them held their breath and listened carefully to what the doctor said.

"Twins rarely carry to term, and they often go into labor prematurely. It's best to have them checked every two weeks and be prepared to be hospitalized at any time."

Both of them were still a little dizzy.

It’s just that my belly is a little bigger than others, so how can I be twins?

And her belly isn't that big.

Shen Zhiyou swallowed and said, "Is it difficult to have twins?"

Almost no one in their village goes to the hospital to give birth, so they all invite midwives to their homes to help with the birth.

The only one who went to the hospital to give birth was also twins.

Shen Zhiyou has heard people say since she was a child that not everyone has the blessing of having twins.

It’s such a great blessing, but it depends on whether you can bear it.

Some people are unlucky and cannot bear this blessing, so they die.

Shen Zhiyou trembled as she spoke her thoughts. The doctor gave her an unpleasant look and said, "This is a military hospital. We have very advanced modern medical technology and equipment. There is no need to worry about midwives."

"Pay more attention to yourself in the future, eat more nutritious food to support the baby in your belly, but control the amount. If the baby is too big, it will be difficult to give birth. Exercise more and walk more, and it will be easier to give birth when the time comes."

Shen Zhiyou and Gu Ye took notes carefully.

On the way back, neither of them said a word.

But they all walked slower.

Only when she got home did she heave a sigh of relief and sit on a chair, a little bewildered: "How could I get pregnant with two babies at once?"

Gu Ye pursed his lips and said, "How about I ask for leave from school for you?"

Shen Zhiyou shook her head: "It's okay, the doctor also said that I can continue to work for a month, and then I can take a leave."

She quite likes going to school.

Moreover, the classes are not tiring, and the school is very considerate of pregnant women, scheduling classes for her more regularly so that she has enough time to rest.

Naturally, I also have to write a letter home about this matter.

After telling her family the good news, Shen Zhiyou urged Gu Ye to get some cloth coupons to buy some cloth.

With two children, you will definitely need to prepare double the clothes and diapers!

Zhu Fang, who lived not far from them, heard from her husband that Shen Zhiyou was pregnant with twins, so she took the initiative to come to Shen Zhiyou and ask if she needed cloth.

Someone in her family worked in a textile factory and was dealing with a batch of defective cloth.

Defective cloth refers to cloth that has not been dyed properly, as well as some scraps from cutting.

These cloths will not be sold to the outside world and the prices are relatively low. No cloth coupons are required and they are almost all consumed by the textile factory employees themselves.

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhiyou nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, yes. I want as many as you can get. Zhu Fang, you are so kind."

Zhu Fang felt a little embarrassed by her praise, so she lowered her head and smiled, "It's okay, I'll bring it back to you tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you very much. Thank you very much."

Cloth is very valuable now.

Shen Zhiyou first gave Zhu Fang thirty yuan, and refunded any excess and made up the shortfall.

After giving her the money, he stuffed her with some homemade pastries and pickles made by Chen Cuijuan, and Zhu Fang couldn't refuse.

Zhu Fang originally came to ask her if she could help, but when she left, her hands were full. She felt embarrassed.

It was the first time that Political Commissar Zhou saw Zhu Fang take the initiative. He was surprised and said, "Little Gu's wife is not bad. If you like her, get to know her more."

Zhu Fang said "hmm". She also thought Shen Zhiyou was good, so she took the initiative to come to her and tell her that she had some tricks up her sleeves when dealing with cloth.

Zhu Fang was very reliable and brought back a pile of cloth for Shen Zhiyou the next day.

Not to mention making clothes for two children, it's more than enough to make two sets of clothes for adults!

Just looking at so much cloth, Shen Zhiyou didn't know how to start.

Just when I was thinking about whether to ask a tailor to help me rush the work, someone suddenly knocked on the door, saluted and said, "Commander Gu, there is a middle-aged female comrade outside the army who claims to be your mother-in-law."

Shen Zhiyou stood up suddenly and exclaimed: "My mom?!"
