The news that Ningcheng Chemical is ready to adjust the leadership of the institute quickly set off a storm in the Provincial Chemical Design Institute. Approaching the end of the year, such an earth-shattering news suddenly appeared, and everyone in the design institute from top to bottom was in danger, after all, no one knew what the unit would become next year.

Yang Wenge was busy drilling around the camp, and he was not seen in the courtyard at all. Mu Fanyu didn't know for what reason, and he rarely showed up in the courtyard, and the design institute suddenly fell into a situation where the dragons were leaderless, and the progress of many works had to be stagnant under the fluctuation of people's hearts.

In the mood of trepidation, the Provincial Chemical Design Institute spent the last month of 2004 and ushered in a new year of 2005.

On the first Friday of 2005, Su Qing, accompanied by her mother, went to Ningcheng Maternal and Child Health Hospital for a routine prenatal checkup. At the beginning of the examination, the blood pressure, fetal heart rate and other indicators were normal, and then she went to the color ultrasound room to wait in line for the fetal B ultrasound examination.

In the prenatal examination before, Su Qing had already done many abdominal B ultrasound examinations, each time it was only about ten minutes at most, but she didn't expect that more than a quarter of an hour had passed this time, and the female doctor in charge of the examination was still repeatedly probing her bulging belly.

After a long while, the female doctor finally stopped the probe in her hand, turned around and whispered to the nurse, "You go and call the director, just say that I have some problems here." ”

Su Qing's heart sank, and he hurriedly asked, "Doctor, what's wrong?"

The female doctor comforted: "Wait a minute, the director is here." ”

Hearing this, Su Qing's heart suddenly pinched, she understood in her heart that ordinary doctors would only turn to the supervisor when they encountered a problem and couldn't make up their minds, could it be that the child in her belly had any incurable diseases that were difficult to solve?

When he was struggling, the director of the color ultrasound room hurriedly walked over. The female doctor in charge of the examination pointed to the screen and whispered: "Director, you see that this child's cerebral ventricles are a little large......

The director leaned in front of the screen to check carefully, turned the probe and looked at it several times before he got up and said, "You checked it right, this child's ventricles are beyond normal values, and it may be hydrocephalus." ”

The three words of hydrocephalus were like a sharp sword, instantly piercing Su Qing's heart. Lying on the examination table, not only did her exposed belly feel cold at this time, but her heart also fell into the ice river, completely cold.

"Doctor, what's wrong with me, can you tell me?" Su Qing asked in fear.

The director and the female doctor looked at each other, and the female doctor explained in embarrassment: "Your child's ventricles are a little wide, and we suspect hydrocephalus. ”

"How could it be?" Su Qing lost her voice and said, "Wasn't the first few inspections good?"

The director said softly: "The fetus is constantly developing, and some problems can only be manifested when they develop to a certain extent, so being okay in the past does not guarantee that there will be no problem in the future." ”

"Then what should I do now?" Su Qing said without giving up: "Isn't this situation curable?"

"If the diagnosis is hydrocephalus, the fetus can only be removed. The female doctor regretted: "Otherwise, there may be intellectual problems when born." ”

The director was relatively safe, and he persuaded: "Machines have errors, maybe the errors in our hospital inspection are a bit large, no, you can go to other big hospitals to do it." ”

Su Qing got off the inspection table in a daze, and walked out of the color ultrasound room with the B checklist in a daze. Liu Yan saw that her daughter's face was very ugly, so she hurriedly supported her and said, "Qingqing, what's wrong with you?"

"Mom......" Su Qing couldn't help but lie into her mother's arms and cry: "The doctor said...... The width of the child's ventricles is somewhat large, and it may be ...... Be...... Hydrocephalus!"

"What!"

Hearing the bad news at first glance, Liu Yan was stunned, but as a mother, she had to act as a strong backing for her daughter, so she forced herself to stabilize her mind and said with relief: "What Dr. B said may not be right, let's go and ask the obstetrics and gynecology doctor." ”

"Hmm!" Su Qing's body was already unsteady, and she had to grab her mother's arm.

Liu Yan helped her daughter to the obstetrics and gynecology clinic, and the doctor frowned for a while after reading the examination report before saying: "Judging from the results of the B-ultrasound examination, your child is likely to have hydrocephalus."

"Doctor, my daughter is twenty-five weeks pregnant, can you find a way to keep the child? Liu Yan begged bitterly.

"This ......" the obstetrician and gynecologist thought for a long time before saying: "If it doesn't work, you can check it again in half a month, if you can absorb it, the problem is not too big." Or you go to the provincial hospital to take a look, we have a limited level here, so we can only give this way. ”

"Well, thank you, doctor!" Seeing this, Liu Yan knew that the doctors here could not do anything, so he had to help Su Qing, who was in a trance, and walked out of the maternal and child health hospital together.

"Mom, what should we do?" Su Qing said with tears in her eyes.

Liu Yan gritted his teeth and said, "Didn't the doctor say, let us go to the provincial hospital to have a look." Let's go to the provincial hospital and find an old specialist to see if there is a way to treat it. ”

Su Qing couldn't drive after she was pregnant, so the mother and son took a taxi and went straight to the obstetrics and gynecology department of the provincial hospital.

Director Zhang is an old lady with gray hair, don't look at her age, she does things vigorously and resolutely. She took a cursory look at the medical records and B-ultrasound results of the Maternal and Child Health Hospital, and then said, "Hydrocephalus? ”

Liu Yan asked hopefully, "Doctor, can we cure this?"

Director Zhang said impatiently: "Go for an inspection first, how can you know if you don't do an inspection?"

Su Qing saw that her expression was bored and disrespectful, for fear that her mother would annoy her by asking again, so she hurriedly dragged Liu Yan and whispered, "Mom, let's go for an examination." ”

"Oh, okay. Liu Yan was secretly unhappy in his heart. As the saying goes, doctors are benevolent, but how can this Director Zhang have such a bad attitude towards patients when he looks old? How can he be worthy of the glorious title of chief physician.

The mother and daughter lined up to finish the B ultrasound, and the time was more than 11 o'clock at noon. The results of the B-ultrasound examination of the provincial hospital were consistent with those of the maternal and child health hospital: the width of the fetal ventricles exceeded the normal value, and hydrocephalus was highly suspected.

Director Zhang picked up the B-ultrasound results and looked at them and said, "It's still hydrocephalus, this kid can't have it." ”

Su Qing couldn't help but ask, "Director Zhang, is there any other way?" I really don't want to kill the child. ”

"What else can I do?" Director Zhang took off his glasses and thought for a while, "Why don't you go for an MRI?"

"MRI?" Su Qing frowned and said, "Isn't there radiation, it has too much impact on the fetus." ”

Director Zhang said: "It's a little impactful, but your child can't be used in the first place, and no matter how accurate an MRI diagnosis is, it can be regarded as the only way to save it in the end." ”

For more than half a year since she was pregnant, Su Qing and the child in her womb have already been connected by mother and child, where can she easily give up? She held back her grief and said: "I won't do MRI, I will never give up my child!"

"Then it's up to you!" Director Zhang saw that she didn't listen to the advice, so he turned around and ignored it.

Su Qing and Liu Yan walked out of the consultation room, Liu Yan saw that her daughter was running around for a long time and looked haggard, and couldn't help but feel distressed: "Qingqing, let's go home first, right?"

"Hmm!" Su Qing was unwilling but had no idea, so she had to follow her mother to take a taxi back to her home in Splendid Garden.

Liu Yan put Su Qing on the sofa to rest, and went to the kitchen to clean up lunch. While busy, she took the time to ask, "Qingqing, why don't you give Xiao Geng a call to see if he has any good ideas?"

"No! Don't!" Su Qing shook his head and said, "It's the New Year soon, don't tell Zhiyuan first." ”

"Why?" Liu Yan was puzzled: "The child belongs to the two of you, can you not tell him about such a big thing?"

Su Qing moved his body and patiently explained: "Mom, Zhiyuan has to go back to Liangcheng to accompany his parents during the New Year." If he told him about this, Zhiyuan would definitely not want to return to Liangcheng. If Zhiyuan doesn't go home for the New Year, can his parents be willing?

"But......" Liu Yan felt sorry for her daughter, and didn't want to embarrass her, so she sighed and said, "That's okay......"

Watching her mother enter the kitchen, Su Qing struggled to get off the sofa and returned to her room. As soon as the door was closed, she could no longer suppress the grief in her heart, holding her stomach and crying: "Child, even if you are a fool, your mother will not give up on you, I will definitely give birth to you." ”

"Son, ......" Thinking of the sad place, Su Qing looked down at her bulging belly and couldn't help crying bitterly. Fortunately, Liu Yan was busy preparing lunch, and the noisy sound of the range hood covered Su Qing's crying.

After crying for a while, Su Qing wiped away her tears, cheered herself up, and said: "I haven't done anything hurtful, why is my child a fool? ”

In the evening, Geng Zhiyuan returned home from work, and his wife and mother-in-law had already prepared dinner. Seeing that his wife's face was a little tired, he asked intimately, "How is the situation when I went to the hospital for examination today?"

Su Qing glanced at her mother and smiled indifferently: "It's okay, it's the same as before, it's normal." ”

"Oh, that's good!" Geng Zhiyuan vaguely felt that his wife's expression was not normal, but he didn't take it to heart. Because he and his wife have a strong relationship and trust each other very much. He believed that if there was any problem with the prenatal examination, Su Qing would definitely not hide it from him.

Besides, what is the need to hide it from the child shared by two people? So Geng Zhiyuan didn't think about anything else at all, just thought that his wife was tired due to pregnancy.

After two weeks of fear, Su Qing and Liu Yan came to the B-ultrasound room of the Maternal and Child Health Hospital for an examination early in the morning of the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Su Qing, as the host of the city TV station, is also well-known in Ningcheng. The triage nurse in the ultrasound room saw that she came to do the examination again, and she wanted not to let her be affected by the queue, so she turned her head and shouted inside: "The hydrocephalus is here again, let her do the examination first." ”

Hydrocephalus! Su Qing was a little annoyed when she heard these three words, and said in her heart: "My child has not been diagnosed yet, how can you shout like that?"
