"Or perhaps, Comrade Liu, or if the child is experiencing some kind of problem and needs to continue taking medication, please let me know what you need later?"
I will make arrangements immediately and will ensure that their treatment is not delayed.”
Dean Ding thought there was something wrong with the mother and baby.
"No, please sit down and listen to me."
Soon, Sister Fang recounted everything that had happened that morning.
"That shouldn't be the case. I can still understand Comrade Zhao Meilan to some extent; she's a top student who graduated from a proper medical university."
Only after passing the internship assessment at our military region hospital can one officially start working as a doctor.
Moreover, she couldn't possibly be unaware that a newborn baby's skin is delicate and shouldn't be touched by hand, especially since the hands are cold.
"This is a very basic mistake. How could she make such a mistake?" Dean Ding asked in bewilderment.
"Don't even mention the doctor, even I, a grown man, know this! Old Ding, go and get Comrade Zhao Meilan's file for me to see," Minister Chen said sternly.
“Okay, but I just can’t understand it. If she wanted to harm the child, why would she do it in front of both of you? It’s hard to imagine what her purpose is,” Dean Ding said.
"That's exactly what I was wondering about, which is why I came to look at her file," said Sister Fang.
"Okay, but the records should be fine, right? Even if there are any problems, they won't be written in the records!" Dean Ding quickly stood up, speaking as he walked.
"What are you thinking now?" Minister Chen asked, looking at his partner.
"I don't know, but from the current situation, I just feel that something is wrong with Zhao Meilan."
If she were to have any issues while in the hospital, Xiao Liu would surely have noticed; after all, she's a seasoned veteran with extensive experience.
Besides, even if she really had a problem, Xiao Liu might not have noticed because of her work, but Xiao Zhou was outside. She was the head nurse, and it was impossible for her not to notice anything either.
Besides, this is a military hospital. Even if not all the doctors here are from the revolutionary ranks, at least 80% of them are.
They had all experienced the horrors of war and were extremely vigilant in this regard; it was impossible for Zhao Meilan to have remained undetected for so long in the hospital,” said Sister Fang.
"But don't let her go. The enemy isn't cunning. Maybe she's just been lying in wait all along, which is why no one has discovered her."
"It's not that it's impossible, but Comrade Zhao Meilan is not very old. It's impossible for her to do something flawlessly, right?"
"I don't know, but whether there's a problem or not, we can find out by checking, right?" Minister Chen said.
"You're right!"
Dean Ding returned quickly: "Give this to Old Chen."
"Didn't we alert them?" Minister Chen asked, still worried.
"No, it's just that there's a last-minute task to assign, but we don't know who to send. That's why I brought another file with me," Dean Ding said.
"That's fine then," he said, opening the file folder and taking out the files to look at. He also showed them to Sister Fang and Dean Ding.
"There's absolutely no problem with the records!" said Sister Fang.
"There's absolutely no problem!" Dean Ding said.
"Give me this file for a few days, I'll bring it back to you in three days, is that alright, Lao Ding?" Minister Chen said to Dean Ding as he put the file in his briefcase.
"No problem, just bring it over on time in three days," Dean Ding said.
"Are you busy? We'll be going now," said Sister Fang.
Everyone who knows about this is wondering what Zhao Meilan's motives really are.
But I just can't figure it out, and I don't understand why she did that.
"You stay with Xiao Liu for now and take care of him. I'll handle this matter!" Minister Chen said, still worried.
"Okay, I don't have much to do these days, so I'll stay at the hospital with Xiao Liu," said Sister Fang, before quickly returning to the ward.
"Big sister, you're back. Where's Minister Chen?" Zhou Tao asked, looking at Sister Fang.
"He had something to do, so he went to take care of it first. It's getting late, Xiao Zhou, you should go back and cook first!"
"I'm here to take care of them!" What Sister Fang meant was that Minister Chen knew about what happened this morning, and that he was probably dealing with it now.
“Aunt Fang, how is this inappropriate? How can we let you take care of my daughter and me?” Liu Linjuan said.
"It's alright. Nothing much's going on at home lately, and Xiao Zhou can't manage all this alone. I'll stay with you while you're in the hospital, and I can lend a hand if anything happens!" said Sister Fang.
Zhou Tao and Liu Linjuan exchanged a glance and knew that this matter was very serious.
"Okay, Sister Fang, I'll go back and make dinner now. I'll be back in less than two hours," Zhou Tao said.
"Xiao Zhou, don't rush, just take your time."
"Okay, I got it, big sister!"
"Let's go back!"
"Has someone else moved in?" Sister Fang said, noticing the luggage on the bed next to her.
"Yes! She just checked in and went to the delivery room. It seems the baby is breech. She almost had a difficult delivery at home, or something like that. I don't know the specifics!" Liu Linjuan said.
"Really? How could it be so serious?" Sister Fang said.
“Who can argue with that? Everyone says that childbirth is like walking through the gates of hell for a woman!” Liu Linjuan said.
"By the way, Xiao Liu, who will take care of you during your postpartum period after you are discharged from the hospital?"
I heard from Xiao Zhou that she only took three days off, which means she can only lend you a hand in the evenings. Sister Fang suddenly remembered and said...
"It's alright, I can take care of myself!" Liu Linjuan said.
"You're not planning to have postpartum confinement? That's unacceptable!"
"Didn't everyone get through it this way back when we were in the rear?"
"When was that? What time is it now? How can you compare them?"
"Aunt Fang, I'm just seeing that you're all alright."
"How can you say nothing's wrong? Who told you nothing's wrong?"
To be honest, my feet don't sweat all year round now. I used to have sweaty feet, and in winter, my feet below the ankles would be ice cold no matter what I did. Even if I soaked my feet in hot water at night, my calves would still be ice cold in the middle of the night.
I'm happy to tell you, these are all the lingering health problems caused by not taking proper care of myself during postpartum period. It's been like this since last summer.
"Since last summer, I've been taking Chinese medicine for a few days every month, and I haven't stopped yet."
Are your legs still cold?
"After taking Chinese medicine for so long, I feel a little better, but it will probably take two or three years to cure me completely."
"How did it get so serious?"
"What do you think? Let me tell you, you have to take good care of yourself during this postpartum period. You can't neglect your health for the sake of anything else."
Besides, things aren't like they used to be. Even though we don't have many good things to nourish you, you still can't catch a cold, you know?
"Yes, I understand, Aunt Fang."
"And don't think I'm lying to you. You're still young. If you don't pay attention to these things, you'll realize how serious postpartum illnesses can be when you get older. So you must take good care of yourself during your postpartum period."
"But I'm all alone at home, and Zilong is still on the battlefield. What should I do?"
"How about we hire a nanny?"
"Is that feasible? Wouldn't that make us capitalists? That would have such a negative impact!"
"How long is your vacation?"
"Three months, but I'm worried about what might happen at the hospital by then. You know, there aren't many people in our hospital who can perform major surgeries!"
"If it's three months, then we'll hire a nanny to take care of you for a few months."
Once the child is a bit older, you can have them taken care of by Xiao Zhou's children. By then, the child won't be eating anything else.
When you go to work in the morning, express your breast milk into a ceramic jar beforehand. When she wants to drink it, put some hot water in a large basin, heat it up, and she can drink it. This way, she can drink it until she is four months old.
When the weather gets warmer, you can have Xiao Zhou's eldest son go to the hospital for the middle meal, and you can squeeze some for her to drink. She won't be able to drink it for long. When she is six months old, you can steam egg custard for her to eat.
Logically, a six-month-old baby can eat some egg custard, but the weather was hot and it wouldn't keep well, so after cooking it, I put the yolk in a bowl, added some water, mashed it, and fed it to her with a spoon.
"Once her teeth come in, you can give her eggs or rice cereal directly. The older the child gets, the easier they are to care for, understand?" Sister Fang said.
"I'll remember, Aunt Fang," Liu Linjuan said.
"That's good. I'll find you a nanny later."
"How could I possibly accept that?"
"Don't be shy, I'll bring the right person over for you to see!"
"good"
Just then, they saw the woman who had just given birth in the next bed return, followed by two people: a man and an elderly woman carrying a swaddle blanket, but she didn't look too happy.
Soon, the nurse came over to give the mother an IV drip and said, "The mother had a severe hemorrhage, but fortunately she was rescued in time. She needs an IV drip, and we need to pay close attention to her."
At the same time, the father should pay attention to the newborn baby. The baby has been in the mother's womb for too long and is a little suffocated. He must be careful when feeding the baby.
Another point is that we mustn't let her choke while breastfeeding, otherwise it will be a real problem, do you understand?
"Understood!" the man replied.
Liu Linjuan looked at the family next door. The man seemed like an honest man, but when she looked at the old woman holding the baby, she noticed that the old woman's eyes were darting around in her direction. She didn't seem like a good person at all; she gave off the impression of being dishonest.
However, as long as they don't provoke me, it's fine. But if they dare to provoke me, I will definitely not be polite.
Because of what happened during the day, Liu Linjuan couldn't sleep at night, but she couldn't chat with Aunt Fang and Sister Zhou, since they had taken care of her and her child for a whole day and night and must be very tired.
There was nothing I could do. So I closed my eyes and tried to figure out why Zhao Meilan had hurt the child and what was wrong with her.
But before she could figure it out, she suddenly heard footsteps slowly approaching her hospital bed.
I suddenly opened my eyes and saw the old lady next door, reaching out her arms to hug the child in front of her.
