Jiang Jun sat on a bench in the lounge, holding the physical examination form and test results, feeling worried. His heart was as tight as a small boat in the stormy sea.
The union chairwoman, Dong Ma, asked her, "When is your menstrual period? Don't you have any idea?"
When other people get pregnant, they are either nervous or surprised, and there is always a bit of shyness that cannot be concealed.
Only this proud girl in front of me, who should have held her head high, acted like a child who had made a mistake. It was really heartbreaking to watch.
"Never on time!" Jiang Jun's face turned pale. "Every time I have my period, my stomach hurts like a knife. If it's late, I'm secretly glad that I can save myself a few days of torture."
In the past two months, she often felt sleepy and drowsy, and she thought it was because the preparatory group was too tired from working too much.
Dong's mother found it amusing and, using her experience as a person, demonstrated the organization's care: "Well, it's okay. Your stomach won't hurt anymore after you give birth, and your period will be regular. Your situation is already good, and you haven't had any early pregnancy symptoms. When I was pregnant with our eldest son, I was vomiting all the time and could only drink water."
Jiang Jun suddenly thought of something and frowned. She also had early pregnancy symptoms, but she had ignored them. "I've been staying up late preparing for class lately, and I have a baby at home who's less than three months old. I get nauseous when I smell diapers, and I thought..."
There are now four permanent residents in the courtyard, including the old, middle-aged, young and children.
After 52 days of maternity leave, Gao Shengmei hurried to become an independent director, and left the child to Ye Qingyin without any worries.
Ye Qingyin was at home, and the nanny was experienced and busy in an orderly manner. Jiang Jun went back just to help hold the child out of courtesy.
Dong's mother laughed out loud: "You young people, really! Baby's milk smells so good! Although, babies who drink milk powder have diapers that smell a little, that's nothing. Wait until you give birth to the baby, and you can eat while he poops."
Jiang Jun couldn't help but feel a churning in his stomach when he heard this. "Hey, that kid's been crying a lot these past few days, and I'm worried my mom will be tired. It just so happens that I stay up late preparing for class, so sometimes I go and help soothe the kid."
Dong's mother slapped her thigh and said, "Oh no! You're pregnant and you can't hold a baby who hasn't grown teeth yet. The old people say that babies without teeth are very smart. If you hold him with your four eyes, he will definitely cry in the middle of the night."
Jiang Jun was completely confused. "What should I do? I'm a light sleeper. When he cries, I can't fall asleep at all."
Severe lack of sleep affects her intuition and judgment, which is why she makes mistakes again and again, to an outrageous degree.
Dong's mother asked, "Pregnant women shouldn't be so tired. It's not good for the baby. I think I'll ask the doctor to write you a sick leave note. You can go back home and rest for a few days. You're preparing for class anyway. You can read in the office or at home. It won't interfere with your work at all."
Since they are running a union, they have to pay attention to every detail to ensure the work enthusiasm of every employee.
Jiang Jun raised her head and said, "Mom Dong, please don't tell anyone about my pregnancy."
Dong's mother laughed: "Oh, I know. In our hometown, pregnancy is usually not announced until it's more than three or four months. Don't worry, I will keep it a secret for you!"
Jiang Jun smiled weakly and stood up: "Then I'll go straight to the hospital and see the doctor as soon as he opens this afternoon. Bring me the sick leave note later!"
Dong's mother was very enthusiastic: "Go quickly. Well, go home directly after you see the doctor. Just call and tell me. You can hand in the sick leave note when you come back to work."
Being able to give guidance to such an outstanding employee in life, I felt that the two of us became closer instantly.
Ever since the union organized the garden party, everyone knew that Jiang Jun was married and her husband was in the army. Just by looking at her husband's younger brother, one could guess that her husband's family held high-ranking positions in the army.
Such an ambitious and low-key girl is particularly likable. Dong's mother felt very warm in her heart. After seeing Jiang Jun leave, she was still worried. After thinking about it, she went to the hospital in person.
As a result, I didn't meet Jiang Jun in the hospital. Instead, I heard the doctor say that he had written a sick leave note that required three days of rest for the abortion and recommended a full seven days of rest. I was shocked and immediately went back to the unit to report to my leader with my pounding heart. Jiang Jun was a military dependent, and the child in her belly was the offspring of a soldier. Having an abortion was no longer a private matter that could be decided by a single person.
Jiang Jun returned to her home and fell into a deep sleep on the bed. She was worried and couldn't sleep well. She stared at the ceiling, wondering how to go to the office to get a certificate from the unit agreeing to her surgery.
Before she could think of an excuse, the door of her house was knocked one after another.
These people came to her to do ideological work.
First, it was Mo, who worked in the same office as Chen Yuanwu. She had only met him a few times and nodded to him. He came to her eagerly and told her that Chen Yuanwu would not go on business trips again after this period of busyness. She was confused by what he said.
Then came Secretary Nie from the logistics department, who came with a bunch of nutritional supplements and said they were special foods that had just arrived from the supply and marketing cooperative. If anyone needed anything, just go find his wife, Long Xiaomin, and he would find a way to get her anything she could eat or use.
She was completely confused by what she said and kept suspecting that Chen Yuanwu was injured again and something had happened to him. These people were there to make her mentally prepared in advance.
Then it was Chen Zhenbao who came over with hot meals and dishes, saying more bluntly: "Teacher Xiao Jiang, Li Caixia has taken a few days off to take care of you. She'll be there tonight!"
Jiang Yun was sweating: "What are you doing?"
Why does everyone seem to know that she is pregnant?
Chen Zhenbao spoke with the same level of skill as his sniper, never wasting words: "Staff Officer Chen won't be home for three days at the earliest. He told us to keep an eye on you and to make sure the baby in your belly is safe."
Jiang Jun was stunned. "How did you know that?" He immediately started to suspect that Chen Zhenbao and Li Caixia had something going on. Why did they seem so familiar with each other? "Li Caixia is only eighteen years old. You didn't make a mistake, did you?"
Chen Zhenbao quickly assured: "It was someone from the Political Department who notified Staff Officer Chen. He asked me to come and see you. Li Caixia is always at work, so I don't have time to make mistakes."
Hey, what is going on? The teacher's brain is too quick to react, which caused him to say the wrong thing.
Jiang Yun had no intention of catching Chen Zhenbao's grammatical errors. She was almost fainting. "Captain Chen, how did the people in the Political Department know this?"
She came back from the hospital and hadn't told her workplace yet, so Dong's mother didn't know about her decision to have the surgery.
Also, if Li Caixia asked for leave, she would definitely tell Jiang Yonghua, and Jiang Yonghua would call Siheyuan. If she was not at Siheyuan, Ye Qingyin or Aunt Liu would answer the phone. Then, her pregnancy would be announced to the world!
How can she go for surgery then?
