The next day, Ding Sha got up early. When passing by the construction site, she asked the gatekeeper to tell them that she would not come to sell meals today. Xiao Jun rode an electric bike and drove Ding Sha into the city with a puttering sound.
First they went to the bank to open an account and deposit money. The account holder was Ding Sha, and the password was also Ding Sha's birthday.
The bank teller looked at Ding Sha somewhat enviously, "You and your husband have such a good relationship. You deposited more than 500,000 yuan under your name just like that."
Ding Sha smiled shyly. Xiao Jun saw her get up and hurriedly held her arm.
"You don't have to be so careful. I'm only four months pregnant," Ding Sha was amused by his stance of being heavily guarded.
"That won't do," Xiao Jun refused to agree. In his opinion, no matter big or small, they were all his treasures, and there couldn't be any accidents.
Ding Sha took him to the obstetrics and gynecology hospital she had previously gone to. She had set up a maternity file there, which would be more convenient for checks and examinations.
The corridors were full of pairs of new parent couples, sitting happily side by side on the chairs in the hallway, heads touching as they whispered to each other.
As soon as Ding Sha and Xiao Jun appeared, they attracted the attention of everyone present. Many pregnant women with bulging bellies thought enviously that with such good looks of the parents, the child born must be very beautiful...
Thinking about their own silly-looking husbands beside them like pig heads, they rolled their eyes, secretly hoping that the child would not take after their father's silliness...
Xiao Jun helped Ding Sha sit down on the only seat available, and squatted beside her, holding her hand, "Sit for a while, it'll be our turn soon."
Ding Sha stared at his caring look looking up at her, and felt a little emotional. The last time she came here alone to hear the news of her pregnancy.
Although she looked very calm, she was also afraid.
A girl in the prime of her youth suddenly became a single mother with a child, how could she not be afraid...
But today with Xiao Jun accompanying her, it seemed that physically and mentally, she could breathe a little, and rely on him.
Ding Sha unconsciously held Xiao Jun's hand tighter. If...if she could get through the difficulties of childbirth...
Would she be able to live well with Xiao Jun?
Ding Sha didn't dare think about it.
Xiao Jun felt her grip tighten, "What's wrong?"
Ding Sha came back to her senses, shook her head, and forced a smile.
Xiao Jun stood up and opened his arms for her to lean against his embrace, speaking gently, "Scared? Be good, don't be afraid, I'm with you. If you're afraid, call me, I'm here."
Ding Sha didn't speak, just buried her head in his arms.
Xiao Jun gently patted her shoulders.
"Number eighty-five, Ding Sha, are you here?"
It was soon their turn. Xiao Jun gently led her into the room.
It was still the same doctor as last time. She obviously also remembered Ding Sha, after all a beautiful young girl coming to the hospital alone for an examination left a deep impression.
But fortunately someone accompanied her this time.
The female doctor glanced at Xiao Jun who was adjusting the stool for Ding Sha, and was slightly more at ease.
"You're here? How have you been recently?" The doctor smiled and greeted her.
"Pretty good. I've been taking the medicine you prescribed on time," Ding Sha had a good impression of this well-meaning doctor. "I came this time to do a routine prenatal checkup."
The female doctor asked routinely for a while, then issued several forms, "Seventeen weeks, you can already do the Down screening test, as well as some routine checks that need to be done."
She explained in detail the content and importance of each check.
Xiao Jun listened even more carefully than Ding Sha.
As a result, the female doctor's liking for him grew even more. The two looked very young and immature. What was worrying was that they were still children who might make mistakes and couldn't afford a new life.
But now it seemed that both were sensible and serious about their lives.
Xiao Jun first dashed to pay the fees, then asked the nurses clearly which departments were where before coming back to take Ding Sha along.
Holding his hand, Ding Sha was a little afraid, thinking back to the last time she came alone, she suddenly felt a little wronged, "If you let me come alone again this time..."
Xiao Jun immediately saw his pretty, well-behaved wife with tears in her eyes, and hurriedly kissed her nose, "I was wrong, I was wrong, I shouldn't have left you. Didn't I come back? I swear to you that I will never leave you again in this lifetime, okay?"
Ding Sha cried while listening to his gentle and patient coaxing. When her emotions were in place, she felt a little embarrassed. She wiped away her tears, "Let's go...there will be more people later."
Xiao Jun also indulged her, while chatting about future plans and guesses, while paying attention to his footsteps.
After the checkups, they returned to the female doctor's office. The test results came out faster than expected. The female doctor looked at them for a long time with some gravity.
Xiao Jun was also nervous, "How is it, doctor?"
"Judging from the test reports, your wife has symptoms of anemia. And I personally suggest that you should also find a good traditional Chinese medicine doctor to take a look at your wife." The female doctor put down the report.
"There are those who study traditional Chinese medicine in my family, so I also understand some. Your wife doesn't seem to be very good in all aspects. If you can, I suggest you go take a look."
"And she has already shown signs of threatened miscarriage."
Xiao Jun was shocked, "We have the means! We'll go see now! Do you have any recommended doctors?"
"Just go to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital," the female doctor waved her hand. "She also said she occasionally has bleeding symptoms and lower abdominal pain. I suggest giving her a shot to protect the fetus first, and taking progesterone orally. Wait for her condition to improve before you take her there."
Xiao Jun didn't say anything more and went straight to get her hospitalized.
Ding Sha didn't object.
The child had been in her belly for more than a month, and she was used to being in pain and vomiting every day.
She really hoped the child would be okay.
By the time they were actually hospitalized, it was almost past noon. After asking the female doctor about dietary restrictions, Xiao Jun bought a meal at the hospital canteen. Ding Sha took two bites.
Tasteless.
Seeing her lack of interest, Xiao Jun felt a little distressed.
After Ding Sha fell asleep after getting the shot, Xiao Jun took the opportunity to go to the farmer's market and herbal medicine store, and borrowed the stove directly at a small inn next to the hospital.
Stewing slowly for an afternoon, high quality Cordyceps flowers stewed with freshly slaughtered old hen, grabbing a handful of mushrooms and throwing them in to stew together.
Bubbling away, the sandpot lid couldn't contain the rich aroma of the chicken soup, and many guests came to ask the boss what smelled so good.
The boss patiently explained over and over that someone was borrowing the kitchen to stew soup.
When Xiao Jun carried out the sandpot, he saw a group of people with greedy looks waiting in the lobby staring over.
Xiao Jun didn't care about them at all. He directly brought the sandpot in front of Ding Sha, completely ignoring the other patients in the ward.
Ding Sha drank the soup feeling very satisfied but also a little embarrassed.
The chicken was soft and flavorful, the mushrooms fresh and sweet, and there was also the nourishing effect of the Cordyceps flowers. Drinking it was not greasy at all.
Xiao Jun had learned to cook soup for Ding Sha.
She loved drinking soups and waters, but was too skinny. So Xiao Jun went to learn how to cook soup in order to fatten her up a bit.
After the two of them had eaten their fill, Xiao Jun brought up the idea he had been brewing all afternoon.
"Sha Sha, shall we move to live in the city?"
