"Want something sour?" Hua Xiuyun was delighted. "Okay, let's make sauerkraut fish tomorrow."
"Does your son crave sour foods?" Jiang Jingzhou's eyes flickered as he cautiously asked Lin Zhaoyue if it was possible his daughter also liked sour foods. Everyone's tastes are different.
Lin Zhaoyue was amused by his tone of voice, "I don't know if it's a boy or a girl, we'll know when it's born, won't we?"
Jiang Jingzhou: "..." He raised his hand and thoughtfully touched his wife's belly.
That evening, Lin Zhaoyue's belly, which was not yet four months along, was already showing some curves. Compared to her first pregnancy, it was showing earlier. She hadn't had any stretch marks even when she was pregnant with twins, so she wasn't too worried about her third pregnancy, which was only one child.
"What's wrong with your stomach?" Jiang Jingzhou asked as soon as he entered the room, noticing Lin Zhaoyue staring at her own stomach. He then sat down next to her.
"Don't you feel that a four-month pregnant belly is about the same size as my five-month twin pregnancy?"
Lin Zhaoyue asked casually, "Could it be that you're pregnant with twins?"
"No way." Jiang Jingzhou still felt that the births of Da Guai and Er Guai were a coincidence, and that the third pregnancy couldn't possibly be twins again. Besides, hadn't they gone to the hospital for a checkup? If it were twins, the doctor would definitely know!
[Haha, baby girl is so cute! The third pregnancy made her belly look bigger because it stretched.]
That's right, a second pregnancy usually shows earlier than a first pregnancy.
I really envy their relationship. Ever since I gave birth, I've had absolutely no interest in that area, and my husband and I have been sleeping in separate rooms since.
[Same here +1. I think this only happens when the relationship is bad. If the two people have a good relationship, they wouldn't even sleep in separate beds, let alone separate rooms.]
[A friendly reminder from my sister: separating rooms now is equivalent to separating your relationship. Your conflicts will only escalate, and it might even lead to divorce.]
[...]
Lin Zhaoyue never intended to sleep in separate rooms. Her reason for wanting separate rooms was that she was worried she would disturb Jiang Jingzhou's rest, but the man firmly opposed it.
Now both children sleep with their nanny, which makes things much easier for them.
This is also why she conceived her third child so quickly.
With Jiang Jingzhou by her side, Lin Zhaoyue has now gotten into the habit of going to bed early and waking up early.
As the weather grew colder, she became increasingly reluctant to get up early. Jiang Jingzhou would always warm up the clothes she was about to wear, so that she would be warm when she put them on and wouldn't get cold.
"When are you going to the hospital for your next prenatal checkup? Remember to let me know in advance, and I'll go with you," Jiang Jingzhou said softly. As a father, he couldn't help his wife give birth, nor could he suffer for her; all he could do was accompany her.
Lin Zhaoyue hasn't decided when to go to the hospital for a check-up yet. Perhaps she'll take advantage of a less busy time at the hospital to get the check-up done.
“I work at the hospital now, which is very convenient. I can go for checkups whenever I want, so you don’t need to come with me.”
"Okay, then let me know when you're done with the checkup." Jiang Jingzhou saw the red mark on her cheek and his heart inexplicably softened. He couldn't help but lean in and kiss her. "I'm leaving."
"Mmm." Lin Zhaoyue felt the warmth on her cheek and watched him leave.
After closing the door, Lin Zhaoyue got up, washed up, and ate breakfast. She would go to the hospital outpatient clinic on time later.
Hua Xiuyun brought her sauerkraut fish and rice, saying, "Just take it to your hospital cafeteria at noon and heat it up a bit. I'm taking the kids back to the old hospital today."
The old courtyard that Hua Xiuyun mentioned was where she took the children to visit Jiang Jingzhou's grandfather, who was also the children's great-grandfather. The old man was in good health and lived alone. Jiang Guofu had suggested more than once that the old man move in, but the old man refused no matter what he said. He only asked that they could bring the two children over to see him from time to time.
"Okay." Lin Zhaoyue nodded slightly. The plate of pickled fish and rice was full. Her mother-in-law always brought food that she couldn't finish. She had complained before, but Ms. Hua said that it was better to have leftovers than not enough.
Moreover, the leftovers wouldn't be thrown away. When Lin Zhaoyue brought them back, Ms. Hua would put them in the leftover food bin in the kitchen, and would occasionally take them to the military dogs in the army.
If you have children at home, you can't keep a dog. Otherwise, it would be more convenient to keep a dog.
It can solve the problem of leftover food and also guard the house.
When Lin Zhaoyue arrived at the hospital, it was already nine o'clock in the morning. She arrived a little later than the professor today, and they hadn't started calling numbers yet.
Director Liao first filled their cups with hot water, saying, "Now that you're pregnant, you should go to the research institute less often; it's inconvenient."
Lin Zhaoyue understood what the professor meant.
Various chemical reagents, some of which can have an impact on the mother.
"I saw Su Zhixiang here when I came in. The surgery should be finalized today. You can participate in the specific surgical plan."
Liao Ping said that Su Zhixiang was a special patient. In fact, patients with congenital heart disease are not easy to operate on, and the success rate of the operation is very low. He was one of those who had no choice but to have the operation.
"I?"
Lin Zhaoyue had only been on the operating table a few times, but her participation in the surgical plan this time was tantamount to Professor Liao's recognition of her.
"Professor, my classmates are still in school, but you've arranged for me to work in the research institute and the hospital outpatient department. You're already several years ahead of them." Lin Zhaoyue didn't mean anything by it; she could tell that Professor Liao was promoting her.
"Your IQ is far superior to theirs. It's useless to keep you in school and make you memorize those professional knowledge."
Professor Liao said seriously, "Now that you're not at school, those messy rumors about the two of us still exist, as long as they don't reach your ears. This isn't the first time I've heard these gossips."
Professor Liao has been teaching at the school for decades. Among the most talented students he has ever encountered, besides Lin Zhaoyue, there are others. He has nurtured others in the same way. Currently, that student is pursuing further studies abroad and has made significant breakthroughs in the field of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. This is his main purpose in cultivating talent.
Anyone can be a doctor, but not everyone can become a top-notch department head.
“I originally wanted to arrange for you to study abroad for a few years. I know you just gave birth and you definitely can’t leave home. Besides, you’re pregnant again now, so you definitely need to prioritize your family.”
Professor Liao smiled slightly, "I'm putting the choice in your own hands now. I'll let you work with me clinically for a few years first. You're doing well at the research institute too. After you give birth, you can decide how to arrange things for yourself."
Lin Zhaoyue unconsciously pursed her lips. "Thank you for your guidance, Professor."
"You don't need to thank me. I just hope that the medical field can have more geniuses who can save more patients."
As Professor Liao was speaking, Su Zhixiang was the first to enter the consultation room, and his complexion was worse than last time.
He slumped weakly in his wheelchair, his lips pale.
