The life of a female cannon fodder

80

Li Qiu and Lu Zhan did not choose to go to the military hospital, but chose the county hospital which was closer. A pregnancy checkup can be done at the county hospital in Qingshan County, and the technology is pretty good. There is no need to go all the way to the military hospital to waste resources.

When they arrived at the hospital, it didn't take long to register for the checkup and get the results. People nowadays are not like people in later generations, who have to go to the hospital for any checkup or illness. Now, people generally don't go to the hospital unless they have a serious illness, as it costs money. Especially in the countryside, for things like giving birth, they usually find a midwife, and some even have their mother-in-law and sister-in-law take care of them at home, and some even give birth directly in the field.

This is not an exaggeration. There is a real story like this in the Tuanjie Brigade. Shi Xiaolian's sister Shi Laidi was born directly in the ground. Li Qiu was also quite glad that she did not live in the Tuanjie Brigade or the family area, otherwise she would not know how many people would gossip about her behind her back when she went to the hospital for a prenatal checkup.

After the two got the results, they heard the doctor from the obstetrics and gynecology department congratulating them before they had time to look at them.

Li Qiu was pregnant with twins.

Then the doctor gave them a serious and detailed warning that twins were different from single babies, and it was more difficult to give birth. Moreover, this was Li Qiu's first child, so she needed to pay more attention.

The old doctor is not young anymore, with a pair of glasses on her nose. When she is serious, she looks very imposing, which makes people listen to her unconsciously. No matter when, it seems that people want to recruit young people. In the future, many companies and enterprises still have age restrictions, but doctors are just the opposite. The older they are, the more convincing they are.

"You are twins, and it's your first child. I don't think you are unprepared. I personally suggest that you come for a checkup every month, so that you can feel more at ease, and we can also know the condition of the fetus. Although it sounds bad, twins do need to be more careful than single babies. If there are any problems during the checkup, we can find and solve them as soon as possible." The old doctor's surname is Zhong. He was not afraid of offending people when he spoke. Instead, he explained the problem to them clearly.

Li Qiu and Lu Zhan nodded frequently, and Lu Zhan took a pen and paper to take notes. If he had any questions, he would take the initiative to ask, and Dr. Zhong would patiently answer him.

At the end, Lu Zhan took the examination report and a few pieces of paper with the best notes and said goodbye to Dr. Zhong with Li Qiu.

The time spent on registering for the examination and getting the results was not as long as the time Lu Zhan spent communicating with Dr. Zhong. It was almost twelve o'clock when the two of them left the hospital. Lu Zhan looked at Li Qiu who was not in a good mood and raised his hand to pat her back: "Let's go to the state-owned hotel for lunch at noon, okay? After lunch, you can go back to sleep by then, so you don't have to cook again."

Li Qiu nodded. She was hungry. She had eaten a piece of rice cake to fill her stomach, but she didn't expect to be hungry so quickly.

Arriving at the state-owned hotel, Li Qiu saw the waiter who asked her if she wanted beef buns again. The latter smiled at her, and she also curled her lips.

Lu Zhan pulled Li Qiu to her seat and sat her down, then turned around to order food. It was almost time to go to the hotel. There were quite a few people in the state-owned hotel. More than half of the tables were occupied, and people were still coming in. Although the food in the state-owned hotel was not cheap, the city people could get much more money than the rural people, so they were willing to come and have a bite occasionally.
