Chapter 251: Elderly Pregnant Women
"Aunt, are you hungry? Have some porridge!" Su Ying came in with a bowl of warm porridge.
"Thank you, Aying!" Yang Chunhua stood up and brought the porridge.
Yang Chunhua found the tasteless white rice porridge particularly appetizing at the moment. After taking a few mouthfuls, she suddenly realized how hungry she was.
"Are you not full? I'll get some more!" Su Ying took the bowl and prepared to add more.
"Aying, no need!" After sitting for a while, Yang Chunhua felt dizzy and uncomfortable.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable again?" Su Ying saw Yang Chunhua frowning and looking uncomfortable.
"Well, I'll lie down for a while!" Yang Chunhua lay down and felt better.
"This person is so hypocritical! She didn't have enough to eat at the time, and she didn't feel any discomfort during her pregnancy. She worked all day until she gave birth.
Now, I feel dizzy and uncomfortable after sitting for a while! Sigh!" Yang Chunhua smiled bitterly.
"It's like this when you're pregnant!" Su Ying comforted.
Yang Chunhua is considered lucky. In modern society, some pregnant women have drastic changes in temperament after pregnancy, their emotions fluctuate greatly, and they often cry for no reason.
"You are still a child, how can you understand these things?" Yang Chunhua laughed.
"Gurgle!" Yang Chunhua blushed as her stomach rumbled.
"Look, Second Aunt, the brothers and sisters in my belly are not full and are clamoring for food!" Su Ying joked, holding the bowl and getting another one.
This time, Su Ying also brought a small bowl of pickled beans. "Second Aunt, would you like some pickled beans to go with your porridge?"
"It smells so good!" Yang Chunhua couldn't help but drool when she smelled the sour beans.
I put a sour bean in my mouth, and the bland taste came to my mouth. I ate a bowl of porridge with the sour bean, and I ate all the sour bean.
"I'm really full now!" Yang Chunhua regained some strength.
"Madam, madam, the doctor is here!" Su Laoer rushed into the yard shouting.
The doctor felt dizzy and shaken all the way, but fortunately when he entered the village, the road became flat and not so bumpy anymore.
Su Laoer pulled the doctor inside.
"Sir, please have some water!" Su Ying brought warm honey water.
The doctor drank it all in one gulp. Oh my God, he was almost dying of thirst.
When the man entered the clinic, he simply asked who the doctor was. The doctor asked what he wanted. The man didn't say much, just asked them to pack up their medicine boxes and leave.
After they left the house, they rode together on one horse and headed towards Huanggou Village.
Everyone knows that Huanggou Village is poor and has rarely been able to afford a doctor in recent years. However, in the second half of last year, the production of vermicelli, honey, and tea oil in Huanggou Village suddenly became popular and the village became wealthy.
The doctor came here once a few years ago. When he came again this time, he was amazed at how much the place has changed!
The road is flat, hard and wide, with bamboo water pipes on the roadside, and clear mountain spring water flowing.
Once you enter the village, you will see bamboo water pipes running in all directions, which supply water to every household, so there is no need to fetch water from the stream.
Smoke was rising from a spacious vermicelli factory, and vermicelli of varying shades were hung on bamboo poles on the dam.
The rice fields are lush and green, better than those in other villages, and many villagers are harvesting wheat and plowing the fields.
There is no poverty and decline here as there were a few years ago. Everyone has a smile on their face and light in their eyes.
This, this is simply a paradise! The doctor was jealous.
When Su Laoer brought him to Su's house, he was even more surprised. Such a nice house is rare in the countryside!
I could also hear the children reading aloud and the teacher lecturing in a rhythmic voice. The doctor really didn't expect that there would be so many surprises in Huanggou Village!
Whether a place has development potential or not, running schools is an important indicator.
Luxurious food and plenty of fish and meat are but temporary, fleeting prosperity. Only by running schools and ensuring that children can afford to go to school can we have a promising future.
The doctor forgot his own fatigue. After drinking a bowl of honey water, he realized that he was tired and thirsty.
"Sir, please have your meal first!" It was lunch time, and one couldn't have someone's pulse taken while he was hungry.
"Oh! Saving lives is important! Let's see the patient first!" The doctor couldn't sit still, fearing that the treatment would be delayed. He rode his horse in a hurry.
"No hurry! Let's eat first!" Su Ying found it funny. Her second uncle really acted like a little boy at this moment.
"That's right, sir, please have your meal first!" The old lady also advised with a smile.
The food was served, including meat, egg custard, brown sugar steamed cake, and rice.
"This, this! Such a sumptuous feast, I really don't deserve it!" This was the first time that the doctor had seen such a luxurious feast in all the years he had been seeing patients.
"Sir, please eat as much as you want! It's not a big deal to invite you here." The old lady smiled when she saw the doctor was frightened.
The doctor didn't see the patient, but he was always thinking about him. Even though the food was delicious, he only tasted it briefly.
"Where is the patient? Let me go and see him!" The doctor put down his bowl and chopsticks.
"Sir, please follow me!" Su Laoer led the doctor to the bedroom.
Yang Chunhua was half lying on the bed, in a light sleep. She would open her eyes at the first sound, "My husband is back?"
"Madam, the doctor is here!" Su Laoer helped Yang Chunhua get up and sit at the table.
The doctor took out a pulse pillow, placed it under the patient's left wrist, put a silk handkerchief on it, and then extended two fingers to take the patient's pulse.
Then switch to your right hand.
"Hmm!" After a long moment, the doctor smiled and bowed to Su Lao Er, "Congratulations, sir, congratulations, sir, your wife is pregnant!"
Yang Chunhua was really relieved now. She had been nervous when she took the patient's pulse just now, fearing that her celebration would be in vain. But now that the diagnosis was confirmed, she was really happy.
"My dear wife, lie down quickly!" Su Laoer carefully helped his wife onto the bed.
"Sir, does my wife need some nourishing medicine?" Su Lao Er asked with concern.
"No need. Madam, you just need to have three meals a day, both meat and vegetables. Move around appropriately and don't lie down for too long!" The doctor waved his hand and packed up the medicine box.
"But my wife is weak. If she doesn't take some supplements, how can she support two people?" Su Laoer was worried.
“My dear, although your wife is thin and petite, she is in good health and does not need any major supplements, otherwise the fetus will be too large and the mother will have a difficult delivery.
"My wife is not young anymore, so the fetus shouldn't be too large. Just eat three meals a day as usual!" the doctor advised.
"Ah?" Su Laoer was stunned. He thought that the more refined food he ate, the better. However, he didn't expect that the fetus would be too large, which would be bad for the mother.
After having four children, Su Laoer learned about these things for the first time, and he almost ended up doing something worse with good intentions!
"Thank you, sir, for your reminder, otherwise I would have harmed my wife!" Su Laoer bowed to the doctor to express his gratitude.
"It's okay. This is a woman's matter, and men know very little about it!" The doctor smiled and came out carrying a medicine box.
Su Ying paid a generous amount for the consultation and also gave a packet of brown sugar.
"Oh, my lady, no, no, the consultation fee is enough, how can you give me brown sugar?" The doctor declined.
"Please accept it, sir. My second aunt still needs your care. When the due date is approaching, please come to her house and take good care of her." Su Ying stuffed the brown sugar into the doctor's hand.
Yang Chunhua was thirty-one or thirty-two years old, which was considered an advanced age for pregnant women in ancient times. To be on the safe side, she had to hire a doctor to take charge of her.
"You are too polite, young lady. I will definitely keep you safe!" This was the first time the doctor charged such a high consultation fee.
