Chapter 289 Routine Prenatal Checkup
After the wedding, life returned to normal again. The old lady and Wang Qun, except for occasionally going to the family compound to deliver some fresh vegetables grown in their own vegetable garden and the prey hunted by Huo Haocheng and his men, never disturbed the couple's life.
Time passed quickly, and it was the end of July in a blink of an eye. Huo Haocheng took his wife to the hospital for a prenatal check-up early in the morning.
As her belly grew bigger, Ruan Ruan felt uncomfortable when she slept. She often woke up in the middle of the night and walked around in the yard to breathe some fresh air. At this time, Huo Haocheng would always stay by her side. Sometimes Ruan Ruan would stand and lean on Huo Haocheng and fall asleep. Huo Haocheng would always carry the three of them back to the room with a distressed look on his face.
Ruan Ruan fell asleep not long after getting in the car. Huo Haocheng, who was driving the car, looked at his wife, who was facing him with a rosy face and sleeping soundly. His eyes were full of tenderness and a warm feeling rose in his heart. He still remembered that when his mother was angry with them when he was a child, she would always scold him: I gave birth to you at the cost of my life, just for you to make me angry now. Thinking of this, Huo Haocheng turned his gaze to his wife's belly, holding the steering wheel with one hand and putting the other hand on his wife's belly. He said, "When you are born, you must treat your mother well. If you dare to make her angry, I will not let you go."
The weather in July had started to get hot, and pregnant women are prone to heat stroke. Before long, beads of sweat began to appear on Ruan Ruan's forehead. Huo Haocheng parked the car aside, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and gently wiped the sweat off his wife's head.
After the two arrived at the hospital, they went directly to the obstetrics and gynecology department to see the doctor for a prenatal checkup. The whole process went very smoothly and the baby was very healthy. After getting the results, the two first went to see Dr. Jiang. It had been another month since they last saw each other. Dr. Jiang's belly was getting bigger and bigger. She was pregnant more than a month earlier than Ruanruan. Calculating the time, it is now seven months. Considering her safety, the hospital no longer arranges her for duty. She just works in the hospital every day and receives ordinary patients. When the time comes, she goes home with Gu Jinghe.
As Dr. Jiang's period got longer, Huo Haocheng tried not to assign Gu Jinghe any missions that required him to be away from home for a long time. Even if there were any missions, they were limited to Yuncheng or its surrounding areas, and the round trip would not take more than a day. When he was not on a mission, he would try to get him back early in the afternoon to take Dr. Jiang home. Gu Jinghe was very grateful for this. In order to express his gratitude to his brothers, Gu Jinghe often brought them braised pork or other snacks made by his mother-in-law.
When they arrived at Dr. Jiang's office, Dr. Jiang had just finished seeing his last patient that morning. This auntie was Dr. Jiang's old customer. She fell ill every other day with headaches and brain fever. The doctor told her to drink less raw water and to boil the water before drinking it, but this auntie wouldn't listen. One reason was that the weather was so hot and it would be painful to drink hot water, and the other was that she wanted to save some charcoal for boiling water, so she kept ignoring the doctor's advice.
After the auntie left, Dr. Jiang talked to Ruanruan about the auntie's condition. Ruanruan didn't understand. Would saving a little money for charcoal cost more than what she spent on the doctor?
After the two pregnant women sat down, they first asked each other a series of questions: "How is the baby? Is he bothering you? Are you feeling well recently? Do you feel uncomfortable?" The two discussed back and forth like this.
"The baby is fine and not feeling unwell, but it's getting bigger and bigger, and moving more and more frequently in my stomach. Sometimes Gu Jinghe would look at the baby's little fists and feet reflected in his stomach, and would ask, "Will your stomach burst?" Every time this happened, I wanted to slap him twice. It was really funny."
Although Dr. Jiang said that she disliked Gu Jinghe, she couldn't hide the smile in the corner of her eyes. Every time she thought of Gu Jinghe greeting the baby for the first time, the big and the small separated by her belly, the little fist or little foot facing a big palm, Dr. Jiang felt particularly happy.
"Don't just talk about me, talk about you too! This is the first time I see a woman pregnant with twins. How is it? How do you feel now?" Doctor Jiang looked at the soft belly across the desk. Her belly was really much bigger than her. He asked curiously.
Listening to Dr. Jiang's questions, Ruan Ruan held her waist with one hand and stroked her belly with the other, and said gently, "I'm fine now. Except that my belly is a little bigger than yours, there's nothing special about it. The only difficulty may be that I often have trouble breathing when I sleep. At this time, I need to walk in the yard, stand for a while, and breathe some fresh air, and I'll be fine."
Ruanruan's words were so casual that even Dr. Jiang thought it was normal for pregnant women. But only Huo Haocheng behind her knew how hard she was working. He knew how uncomfortable his wife had been during this period. Every time she woke up, she would get up with difficulty, put on her shoes with difficulty, and slowly walk to the yard for fear of disturbing his rest.
During this period, her feet also began to swell, and she couldn't wear the shoes she had before. Her original size 36 feet could only wear his size 43 shoes now. Fortunately, her grandmother and the third aunt came over. When he was not at home, she was more relieved to have her grandmother and the third aunt take care of her. Seeing her so hard to get pregnant and give birth to a child for him, Huo Haocheng felt very happy in his heart, but he felt more distressed for his wife.
After chatting for a while, the two sisters realized that it was almost time, so they agreed to go to the cafeteria to have a meal together. After that, Dr. Jiang went back to the office to rest, while Huo Haocheng accompanied Ruan Ruan to the dean's office. She mainly wanted to see if the special cases mentioned by the dean last month had recovered.
I learned from the dean that based on Ruan Ruan's description of the condition and treatment method, Dr. Li and Dr. Zhang worked together to complete the treatment plan and performed surgery on the patients half a month ago. Now their conditions have recovered and they were discharged from the hospital two days ago.
Knowing that they have recovered, Ruanruan was also very happy. After leaving the hospital, the two went to the charity organization again. Since she found out she was pregnant, she had not been there again. Uncle Kun and Uncle De were in charge of handling all the affairs in the organization. If they had something they couldn't decide, they would go to Zheng Xuyang. Gradually, they also learned how to handle the affairs in the organization.
Just like Ruanruan thought, when everything is on track, they only need to report to Zheng Xuyang once a month. Today, she went there just to see Uncle Kun and Uncle De. After all, they came here to help her. Before going to the charity organization, the two of them went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought them some snacks, clothes, and nutritional supplements.
At the same time, Ruanruan also selected suitable fabrics for the two children in her belly to make clothes and blankets for them, and also asked about milk bottles and milk powder. After all, milk bottles are very precious in this era, and there are few of them. After the baby is born, there are even fewer milk powders. In addition, there are not many tickets, and they all need to be booked in advance. So they asked if they could book now, and if not, they could only ask their family to help find it.
