There are all kinds of birds in a big forest. Even when you're just queuing up for a number, you can still encounter someone who tries to show off their competence. Yuan Doudou was extremely speechless. The best way to deal with this kind of person is to ignore them. The more agitated you are, the more smug they become.
Yuan Doudou tugged at An Rong, signaling him to ignore her.
"You're henpecked, and you won't even let people talk about you. You even tell me to watch my boundaries. I think it's you who's not watching your boundaries. Doing these sycophantic things in broad daylight is simply detrimental to social harmony." Seeing that An Rong was responding, the woman indeed became smug, and she had a lot to say that she wanted to spill out all at once.
"Why do I hear dogs barking? Did you hear that?" Yuan Doudou asked the woman, her eyes clear.
The woman got angry, jumped up and shouted, "Who are you calling a dog?"
Yuan Doudou said nonchalantly, "Whoever responds will be the one I scold."
I didn't want to stoop to her level, but she's so ungrateful.
"You, you, you! I'll fight you to the death!" The woman mustered all her strength, determined to fight Yuan Doudou to the death.
Her husband grabbed her and scolded, "You wretched woman, you can't even be quiet when you're out for a doctor's visit. I think you should be in so much pain, instead of wasting this money here."
She was afraid of her husband; she would immediately shut up the moment he opened his mouth.
Yuan Doudou never expected that this person would have someone she was afraid of, especially her husband. It was quite pathetic.
They waited in line for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before it was finally their turn.
An Rong paid a tael of silver for the registration fee and continued to queue inside, registering for Li Tianlang's number.
"Dou Dou, I'll take you inside." Tian Qi personally came over to greet her.
Li Tianlang knew early on that Yuan Doudou was queuing outside, and he had told her not to queue, but she still refused, just like last time. She really hasn't changed at all.
Yuan Doudou glanced around and, seeing that there was no one in front of her, felt relieved and followed him inside.
"DouDou, please sit down," Li Tianlang said, feigning composure.
Since leaving the Lu residence, he hadn't dared to visit Dou Dou again, his heart still preoccupied with worry about the baby in her womb, wondering if anything might happen to it.
Now that she has come to his door on her own initiative, he is more worried than happy, guessing that there may be a problem with the fetus.
"Dr. Li, I'm sorry to bother you again." Yuan Doudou felt a little guilty. She hadn't been very nice to her last time they met, and now she was rushing to see him again.
Li Tianlang's face was very ugly. Yuan Doudou and he had become more distant, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
"Hold out your hand." Li Tianlang tried his best to suppress his disappointment and appear calm.
Yuan Doudou maintained her smile and obediently extended her hand.
As before, Li Tianlang covered Yuan Doudou's wrist with a layer of gauze before seriously focusing on taking her pulse.
Have you been feeling unwell these past few days?
"I feel nauseous when I wake up in the morning, and I feel like vomiting but I can't."
After taking your pulse, Li Tianlang frowned. "Judging from your pulse, you have insufficient blood and qi. I will prescribe some blood-tonifying medicine for you, which can both replenish blood and stabilize the pregnancy."
Yuan Doudou was puzzled, "I usually eat very well, how could I be anemic?"
"The fetus needs your blood supply to develop, and its nutritional needs will be higher than before. Many pregnant women experience this symptom. The morning sickness you just mentioned is also common, but the symptoms vary from person to person, some are mild and some are severe. There is no magic cure, but you can try some folk remedies."
Li Tianlang wrote down some precautions on paper, afraid that she would forget them before she even got home. It is common for pregnant women to have poor memory.
"Take this. If you feel unwell later, just come find me and I'll come to your home to take care of you." Running around in this hot weather can easily lead to heatstroke.
Yuan Doudou took the prescription from his hand and wrote down many dense characters.
"Thank you, Dr. Li."
Li Tianlang's enthusiasm was extinguished by her cold water. How much did she hate him to be so distant from him?
You're welcome, take care.
Li Tianlang asked Tian Qi to take her out to get medicine while he waited for the next patient.
With Tianqi there, Anrong quickly got the medicine after paying the bill. The dosage was for one course of treatment, to be taken twice a day, morning and evening.
"Tian Qi, thank you for your trouble." Yuan Doudou thanked Tian Qi and turned to leave.
An Rong followed behind carrying the medicine. He had been watching over Dou Dou the whole time she was seeing the doctor. Li Tianlang was still very considerate of her. Other people's prescriptions were just prescriptions; there was nothing else on them except the names of the medicines.
"DouDou, what do you want to eat for lunch? I'll go buy it." An Rong remembered Li Tianlang saying that DouDou had insufficient blood and qi and should eat more blood-nourishing foods.
Yuan Doudou thought the same way; regardless of whether she liked it or not, she would eat it as long as it was good for her health.
"Okay, then buy some pork liver and spinach, we can stir-fry them or make soup." Pork liver soup is very nutritious, but pork liver can be very fishy if not prepared properly.
An Rong told Dou Dou to wait under the shade of a tree while he went to the pork stall.
"Hey, it's you, bro." Pork butcher Li recognized An Rong; he'd been coming to buy meat from him a lot lately.
"What would you like?" Pork Li greeted him warmly.
An Rong pointed to the pig liver and said, "I'll take all the pig liver."
Pork Li couldn't believe it. Pork liver had a strong fishy smell and a bad taste, so very few people bought it. Even if they did, it was only because it was cheap, and they only bought a small piece.
"Are you sure you want them all?" Pork Li was worried about not being able to sell all the pork livers, and he needed pork livers for lunch. Now he had met his savior. "If you want them all, I'll give you a discount."
"Okay, thank you," An Rong said with a smile.
Four pieces of pig liver, exactly ten catties. Normally it costs ten coins per catty, but Pork Li charges eight coins for it.
"Eighty coins in total, here you go."
After buying the pig liver, An Rong went to the market and bought spinach and a block of tofu.
When he returned to the tree, Yuan Doudou was sitting on the protruding root, fanning herself with a palm leaf fan.
"Alright, let's go back." An Rong reached out her hand, let her hold it, and pulled her up.
Yuan Doudou looked at him, but didn't reach out. She supported herself on the ground to stand up, to prevent herself from straining her back.
"Walk."
Yuan Doudou swaggered ahead.
An Rong followed closely behind.
He wanted to tell the pregnant woman to walk slowly and be careful not to twist her ankle.
Before I could even say it, the person in front of me screamed.
"DouDou." An Rong hurriedly stepped forward.
Yuan Doudou was sweating profusely from the pain. "I twisted my ankle."
An Rong put down the vegetables in his hand and squatted down to check her ankle.
There were no obvious injuries on her ankle, and An Rong gently pressed down on it with her hand.
"pain."
An Rong quickly withdrew his hand, not daring to touch it again.
“I’ll take you to see a doctor.” An Rong squatted down and let her climb on top of him. “I’ll carry you there.”
"No need, I just twisted my ankle, I'll be fine after resting for a while."
Anrong was worried, so he carried DouDou on his back and went to a nearby clinic.
The doctor examined me and said there was nothing wrong.
I said it's alright.
Yuan Doudou lay on An Rong's back, her eyes sparkling.
His back is so strong; it makes me feel very safe to be carried by him.
