Fang Yu's period was late this month, and she was too embarrassed to buy a pregnancy test herself, so Lei Feng went to the pharmacy and bought her a test strip.
On Saturday morning, Lei Feng followed the instructions to take a urine sample. "Honey, are you disgusted? Don't you think it's dirty?"
“What haven’t I touched? I’ve even touched your menstrual blood,” Lei Feng said, while intently staring at the test strip.
Fang Yu grinned and stood close to Lei Feng, and two red lines slowly appeared on the test strip.
The two looked at each other and exclaimed in unison, "Got it?"
"Dad, Mom, we have a baby!" Lei Feng shouted downstairs as he opened the bathroom door.
"Don't shout so loudly, go downstairs and talk." Fang Yu patted his arm.
"Okay, let's go downstairs and talk. Honey, let me help you back to your room first, then we'll go downstairs and talk to Mom and Dad."
"It's not that serious, I can walk by myself." Fang Yu pushed him away. But when she returned to her room and saw the medicine on the table, she was stunned. She had taken cold medicine this month.
Lei Feng had already excitedly brought Yu Jihong and his father up.
Fang Yu was looking at the instructions on the cold medicine when Lei Feng suddenly remembered that she had taken the medicine.
"Mom, I took some medicine this month, and the instructions say that pregnant women are prohibited from taking it." Fang Yu panicked, clutching the instructions.
Lei Feng took it and looked at it. "We're going to the hospital this morning."
Yu Jihong patted Fang Yu on the shoulder, "It's okay, it's okay, don't worry, let's go ask the doctor."
“Her period started on the 12th of last month. She caught a cold near the end of her period. Her period usually lasts 5 or 6 days. She took this medicine around the 17th or 18th.” Lei Feng took out the medicine. “Doctor, this is the medicine. She took it for about three days.”
Fang Yu didn't say a word, but the doctor knew about her condition.
"It's not a big problem; she wasn't pregnant when she ate it."
“She wasn’t feeling well those few days, and we didn’t have sex when her period ended. We only had sex after she finished taking the medication.” Lei Feng told the doctor everything in detail.
Fang Yu patted the back of his hand, her face turning bright red.
"You have to tell the doctor everything." Lei Feng didn't shy away from asking, "Doctor, won't there be any medicine residue left inside? Is there any way to check it now?"
"I understand the situation. It's okay. It's only been a few days, so we can't do an ultrasound or anything like that yet. As long as there's no bleeding or other abnormalities, we can come back for a check-up in a while."
"Okay, what else do we need to pay attention to?" Lei Feng continued to ask, afraid of missing anything important.
Yu Jihong stood to the side without saying a word, but seeing how meticulously Lei Feng cared for his daughter, she felt relieved.
Yu Jihong returned from the hospital. First, she went to a yarn shop to buy yarn, choosing yellow and blue, which would be suitable for both boys and girls.
In the afternoon, when there were no customers in the shop, she focused intently on knitting a small sweater, the yarn twirling around her fingertips.
Suddenly, a figure entered through the doorway. Yu Jihong looked up, her heart sinking – it was Lian Wuliang.
"Ji Hong, I came from the city this morning." Lian Wuliang's voice was somewhat flustered.
Yu Jihong did not respond to him, but simply lowered her head and continued knitting.
Lian Wuliang took a black plastic bag out of his bag. "Fang Yu is all grown up now. This is for her dowry."
"No need, I'll arrange it myself," Yu Jihong said coldly.
"It's the weekend today, may I see her?" Lian Wuliang's voice carried a hint of humility.
"No." Yu Jihong refused decisively.
Lian Wuliang tried to pull up a chair and sit down, but said, "Don't come here again. I'm married now and doing very well. Don't disturb my life." Yu Jihong didn't want to talk to Lian Wuliang about Fang Yu's situation.
Lian Wuliang withdrew his hand from the chair, stood there stunned for a moment, and sighed, "As long as you're doing well, that's enough."
He placed the black plastic bag containing the money on the table. "This is what I saved up on my own. Take it and let me make up for it and lessen my sins."
"I don't need your apologies. We have our own lives now, and we never want to see each other again in this lifetime." Compared to their last meeting, Yu Jihong was much calmer. Was it because they had met once and the doubts in her heart had been dispelled? Was it because she was completely disappointed and heartbroken in him? Or was it because she now had a peaceful and happy life? Perhaps all of the above.
"Go away! Don't come back. Live a good life with your wife. We can manage on our own."
Lian Wuliang gripped his handbag tightly, his eyes reddening as he stared at Yu Jihong.
Yu Jihong also looked at him, "You can leave now!"
Lian Wuliang's lips moved slightly, and he nodded.
Watching Lian Wuliang walk out of the store, Yu Jihong turned her head to the side, blinked, and wiped her eyes with her hands.
The black plastic bag lay quietly on the table.
Fang Yu worked until the end of this semester, and her belly was already showing. Next year, she will not go to work and will stay at home to prepare for childbirth.
