"I go there once a month. I just went there. It will be next month." Zhong Yuxiu said.
Old Master Yan smiled and nodded. "Just let me know before the checkup. I'll ask someone to make an appointment. It would be inconvenient for you with your big belly."
It's not easy to be happy in a military hospital. Most of the people who receive treatment there are soldiers and their families. Which one of them doesn't have some status?
"Thank you for your kindness, Grandpa. I don't need to make an appointment for the prenatal checkup. I'll have to trouble you to come when I give birth." Even if she had to queue up for a prenatal checkup, the wait wouldn't be long. She would be relieved if she could make an appointment when she gave birth.
"That's fine. Dashan will be with you then, so I won't interfere. Did the doctor tell you the specific date of your due date when you went for your prenatal checkup?"
Zhong Yuxiu said, "As I said, it's June now, so the delivery will probably be between mid-September and the end of September. Since it's the third child, it might be earlier."
It’s hard to decide on a date.
"Let me put it this way. I have a good friend here whose wife is the chief physician of Western medicine in the military hospital. She is about to retire, so I will go visit her tomorrow before she retires." Old Master Yan said with a smile, with Chen Suan in his mind.
Before you retire, hurry up and recycle it.
Zhong Yuxiu shook her head in amusement, "She must be quite old, right?"
"It's okay to be old. She specializes in obstetrics, gynecology, and surgery. When she was young, she was known as Luo Yidao. She's skilled in both natural births and cesarean sections." Old Master Yan's smile persisted as he continued, "I also survived her care. We've been friends for a long time, and this might be the only time she can be of use to me. When you give birth safely, I'll bring some gifts to thank you."
"Listen to grandpa." During childbirth, having an experienced doctor around can at least give you half peace of mind.
"That's right."
As the two of them talked, the food was served. Yan Rushan and the other two came to the table and sat down. "Grandpa, what were you and Yuxiu talking about?"
"When it comes to making an appointment with a doctor for delivery, you don't have the time to be meticulous. Your wife is pregnant with her third child. If you don't think about hiring an experienced doctor now, when will you wait?" Speaking of this, Grandpa Yan couldn't help but dislike his eldest grandson.
Yan Rushan's eyes froze for a moment, then returned to normal in an instant. "How did the discussion go?"
"Do you still remember your Grandpa Qiu?"
"Remember, you wanted to ask Grandma Luo for help?" Yan Rushan's eyes flickered, as if he was thinking. "Grandma Luo is old and basically doesn't perform surgery anymore. It's not easy to ask her to come forward."
Old Master Yan didn't take it seriously. "What's so difficult about me stepping in? Although your grandmother Luo is old, her eyesight is not blurry. Besides, by then, we don't know whether your wife will have a natural birth or a caesarian section."
The third child is hard to predict before it happens.
Today's hospital equipment is not as good as that of later generations. We can only do prenatal examinations to simply check whether the baby is healthy and whether the umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck, and then decide whether to have a caesarean section. In later generations, medical plans are prepared three days in advance. Whether it is a natural birth or a caesarean section, the hospital will give the most appropriate plan.
"Then, I'll go with you." Yan Rushan picked up his chopsticks, "Grandpa should eat first. Remember to call me when you go to see Grandpa Qiu."
"become."
After the grandfather and grandson finished talking, the old man picked up the chopsticks first to pick up the dishes, followed by Yan Rushan, Haonan and Tian Shangguo; the first thing Yan Rushan did was to pick up the dishes for Zhong Yuxiu, choosing the meat slices she liked, and after seeing that she had eaten them, he picked up the pickled fish slices.
"Yuxiu, try to see if you can eat fish. If you can, I'll buy some fish and cook for you tomorrow."
Zhong Yuxiu nodded slightly, picked up the chopsticks and brought the fish fillet to her mouth, chewing it slowly in small bites. It was not that she had to chew it slowly, but there were some broken bones embedded in the fish fillet, which could be swallowed if one was not careful. In serious cases, the bones might get stuck in the throat and could not be passed in or out.
"It tastes great, spicy and sour, the fish is tender and smooth, and there's no fishy smell."
Yan Rushan smiled and said, "I'll buy some for you tomorrow and ask Goudan to make it again. I heard that eating fish is good for you and the baby."
"What's the good way?" Zhong Yuxiu looked up and asked.
"It's good for your brain and the baby as well." Yan Rushan's heart softened when she looked at him. "I'll see if there's any boneless fish tomorrow." It was uncomfortable to see her eating cautiously.
Zhong Yuxiu pursed her lips and smiled, feeling very touched by his thoughtfulness. "If you can't find any, just buy a few big silver carp and ask Goudan to make fish balls so he doesn't have to worry about the bones."
"That's a good idea." Yan Rushan repeatedly picked the meat from the fish belly for her, and never let her pick up the parts on the fish's back that had many bones.
Zhong Yuxiu was enjoying the meal, and the old man was very satisfied. "Dashan, pick out a few more pieces of fish belly meat for Yuxiu. Where there are no bones in the meat?"
"Okay." He picked out several pieces of meat from the fish belly for his wife before he started eating.
Old Master Yan said, "Yuxiu, the pickled fish made by your Goudan is delicious, but the pickled cabbage isn't very authentic. It's not the pickled cabbage from Province S, so it always lacks a unique flavor. I can't explain it, but anyway, when I can't eat it, I just crave it."
"It will happen." Zhong Yuxiu said with a smile.
Yan Rushan took the matter of sauerkraut to heart. He would do anything as long as his wife could eat more.
After dinner, considering that the old man would be alone when he returned home, Zhong Yuxiu persuaded him to rest at home; it was better than going back in the middle of the night and facing a deserted home. At least he would have a hot meal the next morning.
"My granddaughter-in-law is still the best. What's the point of having a grandson? He's so careless and useless."
Yan Rushan: “….” Feeling sad because of the connotation.
Zhong Yuxiu couldn't help laughing, "Grandpa, Xiao Hai is not at home, you can stay at my house. It's inconvenient to take care of you during meals, and we still have Goudan to cook, right?"
"I want to, too! I'm just afraid Dashan won't." Old Master Yan's expression softened, his dignity and solemnity gone. "They say raising a son is a way to prepare for old age. Yuxiu, tell me, can we really prepare for old age in my family's situation? Your father is busy with work and is away from home all day long. He only comes home a few times a year. My eldest grandson is busy with his career, and my youngest grandson is busy with his studies. So it's only my eldest grandson's wife who cares about me."
Especially aggrieved.
Yan Rushan:?!
"Grandpa, you also support my career." Don't act like you've suffered a great injustice. We all live in the same compound, and I can go back to see him from time to time. From time to time, I invite him home to have dinner and stay overnight. How can that be a injustice to him?
"Support, support, why not support! Why not seize the good policy opportunities and wait until the future to fight?" Old Master Yan contradicted himself, but he was willing not to do so.
The grandfather and grandson both bickered with each other and protected each other, which was quite funny. Zhong Yuxiu was very amused watching it.
"You can come and stay at our house whenever you want. We have enough rooms, so you can always find a place to sleep. We have dog eggs to cook at home, which is better than eating at work. It's more lively when we have more people."
As soon as Yuxiu finished speaking, Yan Rushan nodded and continued, "It all depends on you, old man."
Old Master Yan narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Okay, I'll stay here today. I want to stay here for a long time!"
