Chapter 45 Section Eleven

But pregnancy is not a matter of happiness after all. When Gu Xiaoying was five months pregnant, the climax of H1N1 finally came. If everyone thought it was a small challenge that was completely different from SARS, then the death of several pregnant women nationwide This winter has cast a haze over the hearts of all pregnant women, and Gu Xiaoying is no exception. Although she didn't have to go to work and avoided contact with the outside world, Guan Liming and Xie Jiarong went out to buy groceries every day, and chatted with the old men and women in the yard by the way.Not only that, but Guan Liming and Xie Jiarong also like to go to the crowded supermarkets to buy limited-price eggs and cheap pork every morning. As long as they can grab them, they will be in a good mood!In addition, perhaps because he is not used to the dry air of G City, Guan Liming always coughs non-stop. Although it is not violent, Gu Xiaoying avoids the saliva that gushes out every time, and he is terrified every day.

In this increasingly fearful atmosphere, one day, Guan Liming finally caught a cold - at that moment, Gu Xiaoying felt that the sky was about to collapse. She didn't know what she could do, and strictly speaking she was just wandering around in her room, bewildered and confused.She was afraid of catching a cold, and even more afraid that Guan Liming was not a common cold, but H1N1.She was so anxious that she wanted to cry, so she had no choice but to call Guan Tong again, but when she heard Guan Tong's voice, she couldn't help but shed tears. Guan Tong hastily comforted: "It's okay, the vast majority of people who catch a cold are not H1N1."

"But most of the people infected with influenza are infected with H1N1," Gu Xiaoying cried bitterly, "What should I do, Guan Tong, I'm afraid, the baby is still so young, and I don't have the ability to survive independently..." "Isolation?" Guan Tong was actually also afraid, "If it doesn't work, let Dad live in another house for a few days?" "But that house has been rented out, and the contract hasn't expired yet. Even if I drive him away now, he can't find a house to live in." Gu Xiaoying actually still had the heart to think so far.

"Let me think about it...don't worry, I'll go back in the afternoon, you close the door yourself, I'll call and tell my dad to have a good rest, and see if the fever goes down, if it goes down, it's fine." Guan Tong hung up the phone in a hurry, then dialed his fixed phone, and waited for Guan Liming to answer, and then told him: "Dad, you should stay in your room first, if Xiaoying is infected, the consequences will be too serious .” Guan Liming also watched some news in the past few days, and knew about the deaths of several pregnant women, so he was very easy to talk to, so he agreed immediately.But his self-isolation did not dispel any of Gu Xiaoying's fears—for a long time after that, Gu Xiaoying felt that the surroundings were full of H1N1 germs, and she wanted to hide in the bedroom and wash her hands every day. , burning vinegar, like suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder.

According to Guan Liming's personality, it would definitely be intolerable for Gu Xiaoying to treat him like a bunch of bacteria.However, he was exhausted looking forward to his grandchildren, so this time he could only suppress the anger in his heart and reluctantly cooperate with the whole family's "quarantine" plan.Occasionally he would complain loudly, but Gu Xiaoying’s countermeasure was to play the video clips about the death of pregnant women and fetuses caused by H1N1 through computers and speakers in another room... It's time to flatter Gu Xiaoying, because at this point it's obvious that it's head-to-head.

So apart from his talkative and unhygienic habits, Guan Liming is really a generous old man - he doesn't remember Gu Xiaoying's grudges, and after the quarantine is over, he still doesn't forget to go out and buy Gu Xiaoying her favorite dishes.Gu Xiaoying's mouth is not untouched, but every time she thinks of the miserable days before, she can only find one adjective, that is: unbearable to look back on. Of course, accompanied by a self-deprecating wry smile. However, although Guan Liming has recovered, the H1N1 outbreak has not passed.Gu Xiaoying's nerves are tense, which makes Guan Tong very worried-the emotional tension will undoubtedly affect the health of pregnant women and fetuses, but besides making comforting calls to Gu Xiaoying and sending downloaded popular science materials every day, he also There is no other countermeasure.

Just at this time, Gu Xiaoying went for fetal heart ultrasound again, and witnessed several real-life cases: the first one was that a pregnant woman found out that the fetus was "straw sandal feet" at the 26th week of pregnancy, which means that even if the baby It is also possible to be born with mental retardation. The doctor suggested another hospital to make a diagnosis, and choose to induce labor or give birth to the child who may have congenital defects according to the family's wishes; The fetal spine is abnormal, and it is also possible to induce labor; another case is a expectant mother who was 28 weeks pregnant, and was diagnosed with fetal congenital heart disease (Farot's quadruple linkage) in this hospital. Before that, they had been to two This time the result destroyed even the last hope for the whole family... Especially when the third mother-to-be came out of the B-ultrasound room, Gu Xiaoying was sitting in the waiting area waiting for her number to be called. I witnessed a woman with a stomach a little bigger than myself crying as soon as she walked up to her husband, and a little girl next to her in a pink nurse uniform whispered to her colleagues, "Did you see it? It's the fourth one this week. I really don't know." What’s the matter, almost every day there are abortions that need to be induced due to abnormal fetal heart..."

Hearing these words, Gu Xiaoying's heart was suspended in the air "suddenly". She unconsciously clenched Guan Tong's hand, and Guan Tong held her in his arms worriedly, comforting her: "It's okay, you must be fine, you've always been healthy, and I've been healthy too..." As a result, the chatter of two expectant mothers came from behind, and one of them asked, "Can I induce labor? Now that medicine is advanced, maybe it can be cured after birth." The other replied: "That's enough. This happened to a friend of mine. The child was born with a congenital heart disease. He underwent two major operations within six months, costing 200,000 yuan, but he still died. In fact, it’s not about money, the key is the feeling that you finally got it and then lost it, which is unimaginably tragic for a mother.”

Gu Xiaoying didn't dare to turn her head, but froze in Guan Tong's arms, pricking up her ears to listen. A mother-to-be sighed: "Twenty-eight weeks... If this is a boy, he can touch a penis. How do you think this is happening?" "Oh, this world is not safe, with too much pollution and too many hidden dangers," another mother-to-be also sighed, "so we must do all the inspections during pregnancy, and treat each inspection result with caution, because this Not only responsible for yourself, but also responsible for the baby!" ... Gu Xiaoying couldn't listen anymore.She buried her head deeply in Guan Tong's arms. Guan Tong patted her on the back lightly, leaned down, and whispered in her ear: "Actually... this natural law is survival of the fittest. You have to think about it from another angle. The advancement of medicine has avoided some tragedies in advance. Although it is unacceptable, it has reduced the longer tragedies in the future. Everyone is so young, and there are still many opportunities to have a healthy child."

"Different Guan Tong, if you haven't experienced it, you won't know how wonderful it feels to have a child in your womb." Gu Xiaoying raised her head and looked at Guan Tong sadly, "He (she) just Like the most important part of your life, you want to protect him (her) to the best, you really don’t care if he (her) is a boy or a girl, you just want him (her) to be healthy, really, as long as he is healthy , good health..." Guan Tong looked at Gu Xiaoying worriedly, and wanted to say a few more words of comfort, but Gu Xiaoying couldn't listen at all.Guan Tong could only hug her tightly, give her strength, support her, and accompany her to wait for the result—fortunately, Gu Xiaoying's examination result was normal, which eased her fear to a certain extent.

But remission does not mean elimination——Gu Xiaoying still has a sudden feeling of uneasiness every moment, as if she always doubted whether she would be able to conceive in this life before she became pregnant, and now she is still thinking about it when she is pregnant Is the child in the womb developing normally, and is the nutrition sufficient... Even if many people comfort me and say "don't be nervous, take it easy, the child will be healthy", but the effect is very limited. Guan Tong thought of Xu Xin when he was most helpless, so he decided to quietly go to rescue soldiers. But he didn't expect that the rescuer was so accurate - because not long after New Year's Day, Xu Xin found out in horror that she was pregnant! It was the coldest day in the city since the beginning of winter. The cold current brought about a sharp drop in temperature, and all the fountains and pools in the community were covered with a layer of ice.Standing on the balcony, Xu Xin didn't know what she was looking at. Anyway, she was only wearing a sweater, and she didn't move. When Du Yibei entered the door, he saw such a scene and was shocked. He quickly changed his shoes and walked behind Xu Xin, looked at her dull eyes, wondering what kind of blow she had received, and touched her again, her face was cold, and hurriedly dragged her back into the room, closed the door, and hugged her tightly. live.When their cheeks touched each other, Xu Xin's icy skin even made Du Yibei tremble. He lowered his head in fear and asked, "What's wrong with you?" Xu Xin didn't answer, but just leaned against Du Yibei's arms motionless.Du Yibei became anxious, and asked while touching her forehead, "What's wrong with you?" "I'm pregnant." After at least five seconds, Xu Xin looked up expressionlessly and stared at Du Yibei. "What?" Du Yibei obviously didn't expect it either, he looked at Xu Xin in a little astonishment, "When did you find out?" "Just now," Xu Xin nestled weakly in Du Yibei's arms, "You killed me, Du Yibei..." "Then you're still standing on the balcony blowing air?" Du Yibei was angry, "Xu Xin, you're out of your mind, aren't you?" "Who has no brains?!" Xu Xin instantly changed from being weak just now to being full of fighting spirit, and suddenly raised his voice three steps higher than Du Yibei, staring and shouting, "Du Yibei, tell me the truth, what did you do to condoms?" What's wrong?" "What can I do?" Du Yibei couldn't tell, "It's not that you said you were afraid of pain, and you caught up with the safety period, and it was useless later..." "But you are a doctor! As a doctor, don't you know that the safe period is not safe? We are not married yet, if people know that I am pregnant before we are married, I will really be ashamed to see others," Xu Xin thought about his parents before I couldn't help crying again, "Mom, I'm sorry for you, and I didn't listen to you, woo woo woo..." Du Yibei hugged the woman who had a snot and tears in his arms again, sat down on the sofa, and comforted him in a nice voice while passing a tissue: "Don't cry, daughter-in-law, anyway, we cook raw rice When you are mature, you will be wronged and wronged, will you marry me?" "Not good!" Xu Xin continued to cry, "If you make a mistake, you will be hated forever! I knew you had no good intentions, you did it on purpose, you deliberately made me pregnant, and I can only marry you..." "Who else do you want to marry?" Du Yibei couldn't laugh or cry when he heard Xu Xin's words, "Are you saying I'm not good enough for you? You work overtime and I'll deliver meals, and I'll buy you whatever you want, but you say no Go home and live here, and I will live here with you, and you say you get married on National Day, and I will follow you...My grandparents put so much pressure on me, and I can withstand it." "Hold your ass!" Xu Xin became even angrier when he heard this, and simply stopped being civilized, "That's why you tricked me into getting pregnant, you big bad wolf, you look gentle on the outside, but deep down Insidious and cunning! If I marry you, I will be mentally sick, who knows how you will deal with me after marriage!" "Xu Xin, you're just out of your mind!" Du Yibei didn't know how to communicate with her, stood up depressed, and walked around the room, "Can you stop being so mediocre? How sincere am I to you?" Can't you see it! Yes, I admit that I didn't use contraceptives before and caused this accident, but this is a little life after all, it is your and my child, and he (she) will grow up in the future and will Laugh, I will call your mother to call me dad. Isn’t this a wonderful accident? You are a children’s book maker, so you should feel happier! And you don’t have to tell me stories in the future, you tell your baby Isn't the story better?" "I make children's books, but I don't like children!" Xu Xin struggled as she tore off the tissue paper, "I haven't lived a world of two, and I'm not ready to accept a child... The most important thing is that I'm still not married!" "First, you, Mr. Ye, are good dragons; second, we can get married right away;" Du Yibei said calmly, "Third, you don't have to worry about raising children. My parents are waiting in line. That's not a problem." "But, I'm really not ready. I still feel that I am my mother's daughter. I can't imagine that I will be someone else's mother." Xu Xin vented her fighting spirit when she thought of this, and collapsed on the sofa. Muttering, "I'm going to be a mother at such a young age..." "Actually, we are not very young anymore." Du Yibei sat back on the sofa, took Xu Xin into his arms again, lowered his head and wiped away the tears on her face, and gently kissed her forehead, "Xin Xin, Marry me, have a baby, and let's live happily together, okay?" "Du Yibei, I really want to bite you to death..." Xu Xin closed her eyes and sighed softly.
