In November, autumn, the leaves on the road begin to turn yellow.

On the weekend, Chang An and Zhou Wei went to Fengli, and Chang An drove the car, so they drove the G500 that Zhou Wei gave her but had been idle in the garage for a long time.

Chang An was an "apprentice", and Zhou Wei sat in the co-pilot to be a "coach" for her.

Ben's more than an hour's drive was forced by her to drive two hours away, and there was a mountain road in the middle, Chang An drove in fear, and after climbing the mountain, he realized that his palms were already sweaty.

It was close to noon when the two arrived in the countryside, and Wei Suying had already prepared the meal, but she was the only one who sat down to accompany Chang An and Zhou Wei to eat.

Chang Wangde was no longer able to eat normally for three meals, and Wei Suying needed to make another portion of what he ate.

After dinner, Chang An went to the room to sit with him for a while, and he looked much thinner than the last time he came to see him, but he seemed to be in good spirits.

Before leaving, Chang An wanted to ask Wei Suying about his father's condition, but after thinking about it, he still didn't ask.

In fact, since Chang Wangde gave up surgery and chemotherapy, the results have been there, like a road that has seen the end, the difference is only how far this road is still to come to an end.

"Your father's condition is stable now, and there is no unbearable pain, you can relax a little. In the end, it turned into Wei Suying comforting Chang An.

Chang An answered, but was speechless.

Wei Suying said again: "Jiahui came back last week and said that you went out to work, how is it?"

Probably everyone thinks that Chang An must have a lot of discomfort when he shows up and goes out to work, Chang An replied: "It's good." ”

"That's fine, I didn't tell your dad about this, for fear he would worry. ”

"Worried about what?"

"I'm afraid you've been wronged outside. ”

Chang An smiled, "No, I can balance it myself." ”

Wei Suying didn't ask much, only looked up at Zhou Wei, who was standing not far away and talking on the phone, "Actually, it doesn't matter if you have a job, it doesn't matter how much you earn, and now it's not easy to compare with the family before, but the most important thing for a woman is marriage, you and Ah Yan... Aren't you planning to have a baby?"

Chang An was stunned.

Wei Suying thought she didn't understand, and asked again, "Do you understand my words?"

After a while, Chang An responded: "Understood!"

How can you not understand it?

In the past, the Zhou family and the Chang family were quite good matches, and even Zhou Wei had a bit of a high climb, but now it is different, the Chang family seems to have been beaten into the eighteenth layer of hell at once.

What Chang An has left is this marriage, Wei Suying is reminding her to maintain it well, and the most useful way to maintain a marriage is to conceive children together.

On the way back, Chang An didn't talk much all the way, and when he got home, he just sat on the sofa with a pillow in a daze.

Zhou Wei didn't care about it at first, there happened to be an urgent document to deal with, so he went to the study to do something for a while, but after more than an hour of coming out, it was dark outside, and Chang An was still sitting on the sofa.

Zhou Wei turned on the light and asked, "What do you want to eat for dinner?"

Chang An didn't squeak, and Zhou Wei found that something was wrong.

"What's wrong, what's on your mind?"

Chang An turned around and glanced at him, his eyes were gloomy, "I..."

Zhou Wei smiled bitterly: "What's wrong?"

"I want to get my body checked!"

Zhou Wei was shocked, "What's uncomfortable?"

"No, I want to find out why I've never been pregnant. ”

“……”

At that moment, Zhou Yan was really surprised, happy and a little sad, as if he had mixed tastes, and slowed down for a few seconds before shaking Chang An's hand, "How could you suddenly have this thought?"

"It's not sudden, my mother mentioned it to me before, and I didn't agree. ”

Zhou Wei naturally knew about this, and even when Liu Shulan called him recently, he hinted intentionally or unintentionally that he should persuade Chang An to go for a check-up, but he knew in his heart that she was resistant, so he blocked it every time.

"Why do you want to go again now?"

"Because..."

She didn't resist before, but she had taken contraceptive pills for a period of time, and she thought that her body must be fine, but now she has stopped taking the pill for a long time, and Zhou Yan has not taken measures in recent months, but she still hasn't been pregnant.

Chang An suddenly became a little anxious, but these reasons, including the fact that he secretly took birth control pills before, couldn't tell Zhou Mingming.

Chang An pursed his lower lip, "Didn't my mother say that there were people I knew before, why don't you go and check, and you will accompany me then?"

Zhou Wei gently rubbed her hand and thought for a while: "Okay!"

……

The next day, Zhou Wei called Liu Shulan, and Liu Shulan was very happy to learn that Chang An was willing to go for a check-up, and contacted her old classmate in the gynecology department that afternoon to make an appointment.

Before, Chang An thought that it was not a particularly troublesome matter, it was just a day off to go to the hospital, but when he really started, he realized that it would take a long and complicated process.

The man needs to abstain from sex for three to five days, the woman needs to have an endocrine examination about three days of menstruation, and a salpingogram and four-dimensional color ultrasound for about three days of clean menstruation, followed by hysteroscopy, laparoscopy, and the whole series of checks, it has reached the middle of December.

The temperature in Yunling plummeted, and Chang An was afraid of the cold, so he was basically too lazy to go downstairs to eat at noon, sometimes ordering takeout with colleagues, and sometimes bringing food from home.

That day, there happened to be a colleague's birthday, and I ordered food on the Internet and gathered together in the "small canteen" to eat, and Chang An suddenly received a strange phone call on the way, an indoor landline.

At that time, it was too noisy in the "small cafeteria", so she took her mobile phone and walked to the corridor outside to pick it up.

"Hey, Miss Chang, I'm Dr. Xu!"

Chang Anxin was relieved, and Liu Shulan's old classmate was surnamed Xu.

"Hello Aunt Xu, is the inspection report out?"

"Yes, I've got it all here. ”

"What is the result? Do I have any problems?"

There was a pause obviously, and after an interval of two seconds, he said, "Is it convenient for you in the afternoon? If you want to be convenient, you'd better come over!"

……

ZHOU WEI HAD A HIGH-LEVEL MEETING IN THE AFTERNOON, WHICH STARTED AT TWO O'CLOCK AND LASTED UNTIL FOUR O'CLOCK, AND AS A RESULT, LIU SHULAN CALLED HIM SEVEN OR EIGHT TIMES WITHIN TWO HOURS, MAKING IT SEEM LIKE A DEADLY SERIES OF CALLS.

Zhou Xun ignored it, and he didn't dial it until he returned to the office after the meeting.

"Mom, what's the matter with you calling me so much in the afternoon?"

Liu Shulan shouted over there: "It's not me who has something, it's Xiao An, your wife, she has something!"

Zhou Wei was shocked, "What's wrong with Chang An?"

Liu Shulan: "Didn't she tell you yet? The results of the examination at the hospital have come out, do you know, Xiao An, it's your wife, she can't give birth to children!"

……

“… Miss Chang, there are many reasons for a woman's infertility, environment, reproductive organs, endocrine disorders, etc. may cause infertility, according to your current report, except for the corpus luteum is somewhat deficient, there is nothing wrong with your other organs, but you and your husband have not been conceived successfully for four years of marriage, indicating that it should not be an organ and endocrine problem, plus you said that your mother has not been pregnant for many years after marriage, so you may need to consider another possibility- Hereditary infertility, hereditary infertility is mainly caused by genetic factors, especially chromosomal diseases in hereditary diseases......"

The doctor talked to Chang An a lot of science, from the causes of infertility to the treatment methods, to the classification and structure of various chromosomal lesions, and explained to her for about ten minutes.

Chang An just listened, didn't ask anything, and couldn't remember how the conversation ended in the end, but vaguely remembered that she walked out of the doctor's office in a daze, went out in a daze, and bumped into someone on the stairs, the other party scolded her, and she didn't say sorry, her mind was full of what the doctor said just now, just like a slow-motion playback.

In the end, how did she get out of the hospital, and how did she walk along the road in front of the hospital, getting farther and farther, and when she came back to her senses, she had no idea where she had gone.

……

Zhou Wei hung up Liu Shulan's phone and dialed Chang'an's number directly, but no one answered at first, and it took two repeated dials to connect.

"Hey, Chang'an, are you still in the hospital?"

Chang An shook his head, and after shaking it, he remembered that he couldn't see it over there.

"No, it's already out. ”

Zhou Wei also heard the sound of the wind coming from the other end.

"Are you out there?"

Chang An glanced at the dirty streets and roads around him, and took a breath: "I don't know where this is." ”

"Don't know?"

Chang settled for a moment, his eyes squinted at the dust that was kicked up.

"Zhou, I seem to be lost. ”

“……”

After helping for more than an hour, Chang An saw Zhou Wei appear at the entrance of the alley.

She remembered that Rong Bang should be quite far away from here, and she didn't know how he galloped all the way to the road during the rush hour after work, and it only took half an hour to appear in front of her.

I saw that he was panting badly when he ran over, and the tie around his neck was flying, but when he ran to the alley, he suddenly stood there.

It was almost six o'clock, the days were short in winter, the twilight was sinking, there was still a small halo of light left in the sunset to the west, and a street lamp at the end of the alley was already lit.

Chang An was squatting in the corner to get a kitten.

The cat is beige and has some dirt on its body, so it should be a stray cat in the neighborhood.

"Wait a little longer, I'll go back after feeding the sausages in my hand!"

The sausage was bought by Chang An who just ran to the small supermarket across the street, the cat was too small, and it was hard to gnaw on it, so Chang An used his fingernails to pinch it into minced meat and throw it on the ground for it to eat.

After feeding half of it, the cat didn't want to eat it, and began to circle around Chang'an's ankle.

She was still wearing a skirt that day, and the cat turned around and drilled into her skirt once, back and forth, and never tired of it.

Until Zhou Wei walked into the alley, Chang An didn't look up, just stared at the black shadow cast on the ground, and suddenly got up with a smile.

"Don't feed it, too many snacks may break your stomach. ”

She tossed half of the sausage in her hand into the trash can next to her, along with the wipes.

Zhou Wei responded, "Then let's go, go back first!"

He led Chang An out of the alley.

The night was already completely dark, and the traffic on the road outside was speeding fast, and Zhou Wei's car was parked across the road.

The green light flashes, wait for the red light.

Zhou Wei glanced at her.

"Is it cold or not?"

"It's a little bit—" she craned her neck and smiled back at Zhou Wei, her hair brushing her face.

Zhou Wei also raised his lips, took her hand and put it into his coat pocket.
