Chapter 57 Pregnancy

***

After waiting for two weeks, Yu Dong was determined to stop delaying, so she followed Xia Feng to the hospital to know once and for all.

Director Li of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department looked at the restless young couple in front of him. He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he told the two: “If you’re really anxious, I can personally urge them to prioritize your results.

“No!” Xia Feng was just a little nervous; he didn’t want to disrupt his colleagues.

“According to my many years of medical experience, your wife is definitely pregnant.” Director Li laughed, “And I wouldn’t say this for just anyone.”

“R-really…?” Xia Feng and Yu Dong looked at each other in uncertainty.

“When you ask me like that even I get nervous.” Director Li became a little unsure after seeing Xia Feng’s overly cautious expression. “I think we should wait for the test results.”

“Xia Feng, we should go wait outside, we don’t want to keep Director Li from his other patients.” Yu Dong pulled at Xia Feng’s sleeve.

“Don’t worry about it Mrs. Xia, I don’t have any other patients scheduled for today.” Director Li pointed to Xia Feng and laughed, “This boy called me so early in the morning that I had to come to the hospital before my shift. I told him to just buy a pregnancy test in a pharmacy, but he was worried the results might not be as accurate. Asking the director of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department to personally come over, I feel like a sledgehammer cracking a nut.

(T/N   a sledgehammer to crack a nut is an idiom for using a talented person to do an insignificant thing)

Xia Feng listened to Director Li’s half-complaints with some embarrassment: “Director Li I have troubled you.”

“Since you know, send a couple of red eggs my way once it’s born.” Director Li cheerfully said.

“Of course!” Yu Dong laughed.

Then, a nurse came into the room with the results. Seeing Xia Feng, she smiled and giggled before handing the paper to Director Li, saying: “Director, this was the results you requested.”

“Hm.” Director Li took the paper and looked at the results for a long minute, his eyebrow raised.

“How is it, Director?” Xia Feng anxiously asked. Yu Dong also straightened nervously.

“See for yourself?” Director Li handed the results to Xia Feng.

“Director!” Xia Feng was harried, “You can just directly tell us.”

“Ha ha…” Director Li saw Xia Feng’s agitation and couldn’t help but laugh before saying: “Congratulations, you’re going to become parents.”

Although she had been mentally prepared when she heard the doctor’s announcement, Yu Dong was so surprised that her eyes widened and she turned towards Xia Feng with a silly look. Xia Feng was no better, he was so nervous he didn’t know where to put his hands.

“The child is about five weeks old. Everything looks normal, but as a pregnant woman you should pay extra attention to your body from now on, and you can’t do anything strenuous.” Director Li added.
