Beisitian went back and went straight to bed. Since she didn’t have too many reactions, her sleep quality was always quite good, otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to maintain her energy during the day.
When she woke up, it was already getting a bit dark. Mrs. Qin was tidying up the house and said, "If it’s too much, you shouldn’t go to work. I think you’re too tired."
Beisitian was slightly stunned and suddenly felt that Mrs. Qin’s suggestion was not bad. She had previously only enjoyed so peace and had no reason to have to work. Now, with three kids in her belly, once they were born, Mrs. Qin wouldn’t be able to manage them alone, and she wouldn’t be able to go back to work either.
With this thought in mind, Beisitian started to seriously consider it. She originally took up the job as a military doctor because of the old man’s suggestion and because having a job would help her understand this society better. She wondered if leaving now would cause any trouble.
Even with such thoughts, whenever Beisitian thought of those patients who always ca to her for treatnt, she felt a bit reluctant. What would happen to those people if she left?
Now, with her belly getting bigger day by day, going to work required persistence. Master Qin, though always told her to leave early, could only help to a certain degree. And once her belly got even bigger, she would undoubtedly be more exhausted.
Beisitian was a bit conflicted, so she decided to put this matter aside for now.
The front door sounded, and Zhuangzhuang barked a couple of tis before quieting down, which indicated a familiar face had co.
Beisitian went out to have a look, and it turned out Luo Jiali and Tian Lei had co over, both with smiles on their faces.
Looking at the pink bubbles floating between them, Beisitian raised an eyebrow and said, "You two are progressing quite fast."
Luo Jiali blushed and gave Beisitian a look of feigned annoyance, while Tian Lei chuckled and walked up to Beisitian, saying softly, "I’ll make sure your baby gets a little buddy soon."
Beisitian replied with a blank face, "What did you say? I didn’t hear it."
Tian Lei was forced to repeat it a little louder.
"Don’t you know that pregnancy can reduce hearing? Can you say it louder?"
Tian Lei frowned, thinking if there was such a saying. Helplessly, he said it once more, only to realize sothing was off. He turned to see Luo Jiali’s pretty face, red and filled with anger.
Tian Lei suddenly realized that Beisitian was ssing with him and turned back to her in disbelief, "You’ve beco mischievous since you got pregnant!"
"See, you have to say things straight out, you can’t always keep them bottled up," Beisitian shrugged.
Luo Jiali stepped forward, stomping firmly on Tian Lei’s foot. Tian Lei howled in pain but couldn’t be bothered about the hurt and hurriedly tried to pacify Luo Jiali.
The courtyard imdiately turned chaotic with chickens and dogs running everywhere.
Beisitian watched with a beaming smile; a lively atmosphere indeed was better, much more cheerful this way!
Tian Lei and Luo Jiali, having mutual affections, were progressing rapidly. They were like glue, sticking together all day and spreading their lovey-dovey antics to annoy the single folks.
Wei Zhongyuan truly ignored this couple while Wei Zhongxun, trying to pretend he didn’t see them, found them an eyesore.
So what, having a girlfriend is a big deal!
If he wanted, he could easily get a heap of them!
Seeing the pair reporting every day, though there wasn’t much for them to do, Beisitian straightforwardly told Wei Zhongyuan not to keep doing this, yet Wei Zhongyuan insisted.
Lately, Beisitian started feeling hot. The weather was turning into fall, but she felt hot, obviously because of the babies.
Professor Qiu ntioned that during the fifth month and afterward, the babies start growing hair, making the mother feel internally hot and crave cold foods. During this ti, one mustn’t overindulge in cold, though eating so to relieve the heat is acceptable but excessive consumption isn’t advised.
Beisitian felt notably overwrought, probably due to having three children, and constantly wanted to eat cold things. Even though her stomach would feel uncomfortable, she still wanted to eat them.
Moreover, her taste was changing. Previously, she liked salty and slightly spicy food, but now sotis she wanted to eat cakes and sweet treats.
"Now you can check whether it’s going to be boys or girls. Haven’t you always wanted to know?" Professor Qiu said with a smile.
When she had spare ti, she would co and visit Beisitian. Although traditional and western dicine were different, she found Beisitian to be a very capable traditional dicine practitioner, a talented young doctor, she was also willing to exchange experiences with her.
However, Beisitian shook her head, "No need to check, let’s leave it as a suspense for ourselves." She didn’t know why, but she didn’t feel like checking now, probably because of what Beidewang said.
"I’d like to have a deformity scan, Professor Qiu," Beisitian said.
Actually, the technology for deformity screening in the country wasn’t very advanced yet, and very few people did prenatal check-ups. One reason was a lack of awareness, and another was the belief that such big machines, various machines, were bad for the body. Lastly, many viewed such check-ups as a waste of money with no real use.
The most common mindset was that everyone gave birth this way, others had no issues, so her family wouldn’t either; what are the odds? Hospitals just tried to scam money.
This examination is for the sake of the future of the adults and children, to avoid various tragedies.
Professor Qiu nodded, pleased with Beisitian’s willingness to accept prenatal check-up awareness, promised to arrange a ti, and then went ho.
Just as Professor Qiu left, Dong Fengzhen ca over carrying a thermal box, accompanied by Su Lan. Su Lan ran into Dong Fengzhen at the entrance, and they ca in together.
Dong Fengzhen brought so chicken soup for Beisitian, boiled for over five hours, the bones nearly dissolved, making this bowl of chicken soup very nutritious.
"After all, it’s three kids, you must ensure adequate nutrition. I say, better a caesarean section. It’s very difficult with three," Dong Fengzhen suggested.
Beisitian smiled, "If I can give birth naturally, I’d prefer to. It’s better for the babies and ."
Passing through the birth canal benefits the fetus’s body, while the mother’s vertebrae don’t have to take anesthetic.
Therefore, if possible, Beisitian wanted a natural delivery.
Mrs. Qin handed out water to Dong Fengzhen and sat down with a smile, "In-law grandma, that chicken soup is so well-boiled. I thought my skills were decent, but compared to you, I’m far behind."
Dong Fengzhen laughed, "You’re being modest, Beibei always praises your cooking."
Chatting, they started exchanging new experiences on making dicinal dishes. Dong Fengzhen noticed Mrs. Qin wanted to cook better for Beisitian, so she earnestly taught her. Her skill, indeed, surpassed Mrs. Qin’s significantly.
anwhile, Su Lan reported to Beisitian on the opening matters of Heavenly Blessing.
"In another half month, we can officially open. When the ti cos, we’ll need our largest shareholder to make an appearance. Boss Ma has drafted a guest list and will possibly co here to discuss it with you in the coming days," Su Lan said.
Tian Qingyun constantly followed Ma Tianlai, so he was clear about these matters, but due to his busy schedule, Su Lan ca to report.
