Chapter 30 Section VIII

When she was most depressed, Gu Xiaoying went online again and opened that familiar forum.What a coincidence, she saw the post that was pushed up again.However, to her surprise, in that post, the poster happily announced that she was indeed pregnant, but because of the pain reaction during the implantation of the fertilized egg, she is now "painful and happy"! Gu Xiaoying's eyes grew bigger with the words "there will be a pain response during the implantation of the fertilized egg", until she couldn't stare any wider. A few minutes later, Gu Xiaoying grabbed her wallet again and rushed out, heading straight to the hospital of traditional Chinese medicine. When she saw Jiang Mingbo, she blurted out: "Doctor, do you think the early pregnancy test strips worth twenty yuan a piece are unreliable?"

Jiang Mingbo pushed his glasses and smiled: "Then you can use the five yuan test strips we have here to try." Ten minutes later, after paying the fee, taking out the test strips, and testing, Gu Xiaoying walked up to Jiang Mingbo while holding the test strips, looking left and right, and asked wonderingly: "Why does this happen every time? I can't see clearly whether it is one line or two lines. Strictly speaking, it seems that there is a line that is not clear to the naked eye..." Jiang Mingbo took a look at the test paper, and smiled big: "Congratulations, you are pregnant."

"What?" Gu Xiaoying was stunned, the good news came too suddenly, her fragile little nerves couldn't bear it, she couldn't help asking, "There is still a line on the twenty yuan test paper, does your five yuan work?" Jiang Mingbo raised his eyebrows: "Don't believe me? Then go for a blood test, which is the most authoritative." Unexpectedly, Gu Xiaoying said without hesitation: "No problem, you can make an order." Jiang Mingbo joked while filling out the form: "You don't trust our test strips too much." "I don't trust myself," Gu Xiaoying sighed, "To be honest, I still don't believe what you said is true. I don't believe it at all!"

Jiang Mingbo shook his head and handed the list to Gu Xiaoying with a look of no surprise: "It doesn't matter, the people who come to us are all people who have been numb from the blow. Look, there are five waiting in the B-ultrasound room next to you." Those who do B-ultrasound, I have to go and have a look, they have all made appointments for artificial insemination." Gu Xiaoying couldn't help shivering, thinking that if the five yuan test paper was a fake product, would she have to have such a day? However, God must have heard her prayers—one hour later, the test results showed that progesterone was 41.2ng/ml, and total B human chorionic gonadotropin was 138.42mIU/ml.

Jiang Mingbo pointed to the test results with a smile and sighed: "You are really lucky, you are pregnant after only one monitoring." Gu Xiaoying was dumbfounded by the joy and disbelief, her usual eloquence was gone, not only did she not know what to say to express the indescribable feelings she remembered at this moment, but she just stepped on the cotton all the way to leave In Jiang Mingbo's clinic... A long time later, whenever Gu Xiaoying thinks of this scene, she can't help but think: I really don't know if I don't experience it. It turns out that the most confusing thing in the world is not the blow from the sky, but the joy from the sky.

She couldn't remember how she stuttered through the phone and told Guan Tong, "I... am pregnant." After the last phone call, Guan Tong finally accepted the fact that he failed again this month, and finally received another completely subversive phone call. He almost couldn't breathe, and said after a while: "What did you say?" "I said, this time... you're not bragging," Gu Xiaoying swallowed, "Well... I'm actually pregnant." "Yesterday you told me that you were not pregnant." Guan Tong couldn't believe the truth of the news.

For example, it may be an expired product, it may be a fake product, or it may be a gimmick... In short, blind faith in test strips can only prove that the earth is very dangerous! Guan Tong was dizzy at first, but he was even more dizzy when Gu Xiaoying said this: "Don't talk about using it, just say you are really pregnant, right?" "Yes!" Gu Xiaoying grinned, "Congratulations, Comrade Guan Tong, you are going to be a father!" A few hundred kilometers away, listening to the uncontrollable laughter coming from the mobile phone, Guan Tong blinked, and then blinked again.It took a long time to come back to his senses, and gradually some jokers came to his face——he realized that it turned out that knowing that he was going to be a father was such a magical feeling!

It's like a stream of blood, climbing all the way up from the soles of the feet, to the heart, flowing in a circle, and then rushing to the brain, stirring repeatedly, the feeling is amazing.He didn't know how to describe it more specifically.He just stood blankly in the corridor outside the venue, staring at the dense green trees outside the window, and there was a mass of joy in his heart that was scrambling to grow like a mess of weeds. It was the first time he had such a miraculous fantasy: in his wife's belly There is actually a seed, and it will grow up slowly, and finally become a doll that can cry and laugh and call "Mom and Dad"?

Guan Tong looked at the phone that had been hung up in his hand, and finally felt an uncontrollable excitement—the excitement made him wish he could fly home immediately, and hug his little wife for a few laps—this is true Are they really going to have a baby? ! The joy is overwhelming, and after countless desperate blows, it comes slowly. In this way, Gu Xiaoying finally used her own experience to prove what it means to "suppress before you want to rise" and "twists and turns"-it is precisely because you have avoided the blow of extinction that you appear so grand in joy!

On Saturday night, Gu Xiaoying sat on the bed and waited for Guan Tong while reading a magazine, waiting until she was sleepy.It was already eleven o'clock in the evening when Guan Tong entered the house. When he walked downstairs and looked up and saw the light in the bedroom, Guan Tong felt that the blood in his whole body boiled a little.With the luggage bag in his hand, he almost ran upstairs in three steps at a time. He took the wrong key when he opened the door, and it took him a long time to open the door. After finally entering the door, Guan Tong excitedly looked into the bedroom, and sure enough, he saw Gu Xiaoying leaning against the bedside with a smile, looking at him with a magazine in his hand.The moment their eyes collided, Gu Xiaoying waved her hand: "Baby's father!"

Guan Tong was happy. When Guan Tong finally put his luggage away, washed and lay down on the bed, the hour hand had already reached twelve o'clock, the joy was too strong, and he didn't feel sleepy, instead he couldn't wait to lift off the thin quilt and said, "Let me touch it. " "Touch the belly?" Gu Xiaoying said with a smile, "Your child is still young, so you can't see it with the naked eye." "How many days?" Guan Tong raised his head and asked. "It's thirty-five days from the first day of the last menstrual period, and the actual pregnancy is only about twenty days." Gu Xiaoying shook her little finger, "It's probably not as big as a fingernail now," "Then I'll buy a few books tomorrow and come back to study, and see what precautions pregnant women have." Once Guan Tong entered the role of "dad-to-be", he rambled like never before. "Buy books?" Gu Xiaoying glanced at Guan Tong and smiled, "Go to my desk and have a look. There are at least a dozen books related to pregnancy preparation and prenatal education. How dare you know nothing about what I have learned in the past seven months. Pay attention! Forget it, don’t buy books, you can be guaranteed to be an excellent father-to-be after reading the books on my desk.” Guan Tong was a little surprised: "Really? Why didn't I notice?" "In your eyes, you only see big policies for the national economy and the people's livelihood. How can there be ordinary things like the birth, old age, sickness and death of us ordinary people?" Gu Xiaoying teased him. Guan Tong smiled "hehe", put his arms around his wife and asked, "Did you tell your parents?" "My mother was very excited and said she wanted to come right away. I said there was no need. I'm fine now. She decided to come during a few days of public vacation. They can take three weeks," Gu Xiaoying said into Guan Tong's arms Shrinking, "Did you tell your parents?" "They are also very happy," Guan Tong looked at Gu Xiaoying, "Do you need my mother to take care of you?" "Take care of me?" Gu Xiaoying was amused, "Who do you think takes care of whom? I can't read the labels in the supermarket, and I can't read the signs at the bus stop... Forget it, I'm pretty good at supporting myself." "Can it work?" Guan Tong admitted that what she said was the truth, and didn't care too much, but was very worried, "You haven't responded yet, what should you do after eating in a few days? Didn't you vomit badly last time?" "Then I'll go to a restaurant outside to buy food." Gu Xiaoying was quite optimistic, "As long as you have money, there will always be someone who will serve you as much as you want." "Although the food in the restaurant is delicious, it's not healthy," Guan Tong frowned, "It's better to have the food at home so you can rest assured." "I can hold on!" Gu Xiaoying clenched her fists and swore! Seeing her serious expression, Guan Tong shook his head helplessly and smiled. However, whether you can hold it or not, it really doesn't depend entirely on your personal will. Because there are all kinds of wonders in the world, not to mention that there will always be some unforeseen circumstances in the homes of ordinary people, for example-Guan Liming is injured. This was a completely unexpected incident: One day, Guan Liming fell from his own ladder and hurt his waist. At first, he thought nothing was wrong, so he didn't pay much attention to it. He didn't think of going to the hospital until his back hurt so badly that he couldn't straighten up. , took over the hospital and asked for hospitalization.Xie Jiarong called Guan Tong, and Guan Tong became anxious when he heard it. He would only bring his father to the provincial capital for an inspection. Gu Xiaoying could not disagree, and he had to fully support it.So Guan Liming and Xie Jiarong came to the provincial capital as a matter of course, and then Guan Liming was admitted to the hospital of traditional Chinese medicine, and Xie Jiarong lived in Guan Tong's house.Then, the burden of taking care of the patients fell on the shoulders of Xie Jiarong and Gu Xiaoying, because Guan Tong was going on a business trip again. Gu Xiaoying has never taken care of patients at such an age, so she was a little confused when she heard about it, and asked Guan Tong: "What do you need me to do?" Guan Tong was on the train on a business trip, so he could only explain on the phone: "You are pregnant, don't tire yourself out, or cook some food at home and ask my mother to go to the hospital to deliver the food. If you have dirty clothes back, you can use them." Wash the washing machine, and pay the fee when you need to pay. My mother can’t do it, she can’t sign. She can’t understand the doctor’s explanation of the condition. You go to see it every morning during the rounds and listen to what the doctor says. " Gu Xiaoying nodded, feeling an indescribable feeling in her heart - before that, she didn't know that being illiterate was such an inconvenient thing, and she never thought that people under the age of sixty would be so inconvenient. Literacy, she thought that this kind of thing only happened when the country was first founded. So Gu Xiaoying started to run around on the way from home to the hospital—because she was not at a high level before pregnancy, she was deprived of the right to drive after pregnancy, so she could only take a bus or a taxi. She originally planned to teach How did Xie Jiarong take a taxi, but after a few times of teaching, she was completely discouraged: Xie Jiarong either shrank on the side of the road and did not dare to reach out to stop the car, or she managed to stop the car but did not send a message to the taxi driver. Where to go... Every time this happens, Gu Xiaoying sits in the co-pilot seat and covers her head, speechless. What can she say?If it were in the past, when she saw such details in the book, she would just laugh and accuse the novel of being a lie, and he would use Guan Tong's theory to prove that these passages must be written by the author in order to strengthen family conflicts and exaggerate family crises. It's made up... But she has to experience it herself to know that life is much more complicated than the novel, and the details in life are far more unexpected than the plots in the novel. However, it was Xie Jiarong who did not choose a taxi as the daily means of transportation. Gu Xiaoying did not expect that it would cost 12 yuan to go from the Chinese Medicine Hospital to the dormitory of the Provincial Party Committee!Twelve yuan, this is almost the price of a catty of pork ribs!Think about it, she, Xie Jiarong, has to take a taxi at least once a day to go back and forth, that is to eat two catties of ribs a day! Twelve yuan is actually too common in the eyes of people in big cities.But when Gu Xiaoying heard Xie Jiarong settle accounts like this, she felt so bitter.She couldn't even tell Xie Jiarong that in a bigger city, 12 yuan was almost just the starting price of a taxi—because of their backgrounds, the difference in consumption concepts between the two of them was no longer a little bit. Thus began the bus career of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law—Gu Xiaoying took Xie Jiarong to the bus station, pointed to the stop sign with the Arabic numeral "19" and asked Xie Jiarong: "Mom, do you know this number?" Xie Jiarong was a little uncertain and said, "This is... Nineteen?" Gu Xiaoying nodded, and breathed a sigh of relief: "By the way, this is the No. 19 bus. Mom, you can get on this bus, take four stops, and then get off. Let's go to the No. 302 bus." Xie Jiarong was at a loss: "Transfer?" "There is no direct bus from our family to the Chinese Medicine Hospital," Gu Xiaoying explained. When she looked up, she saw a No. 19 bus coming from a distance. She hurriedly pulled Xie Jiarong to the parking direction, and gave Xie Jiarong a card while walking. , "This is a bus card, mom, when you get on the bus, shake this card in front of the small fare machine." "Oh, okay." Xie Jiarong agreed with a smile. Gu Xiaoying looked at the simple and honest smile on Xie Jiarong's face, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, she held Xie Jiarong with one hand, and got into the car with not too many people, and when it was Gu Xiaoying's turn, she used her card I swiped it in front of the card reader, then turned to look at Xie Jiarong, Xie Jiarong swiped it, but didn't. Gu Xiaoying hurriedly shouted: "Come closer." Xie Jiarong looked at Gu Xiaoying impressively, and moved closer, but she hadn't brushed it yet. Gu Xiaoying took a step forward and held Xie Jiarong's hand: "A little lower, it's too high." "Oh." Xie Jiarong swiped the bus card according to Gu Xiaoying's posture, and smiled honestly. The people behind had already started to shout anxiously, "Hurry up, don't block the door", and the driver was also a little anxious, "Hey you guys Are you done brushing, hurry up and go in after you finish brushing"...a little chaos unfolded. Standing on the bus, Gu Xiaoying looked at the awkward Xie Jiarong beside her, and didn't know what to say... She seemed to have a premonition that all the troubles had just begun.
