Qi Shufang thought about it and agreed.

Even if Mother Qi didn't bring it up, she was also going to quietly find Granny Jin to diagnose her pulse, and by the way, she would also show He Jianguo? It had been a long time since the camphor wood box was removed, and she was more anxious than Mother Qi.

Childbirth is inherently related to both men and women, not a one-person problem.

Let's look for Qi Yufang first, and then go to Granny Jin, and find two people who understand medical skills, it should be more accurate, right?

Qi Yufang is the daughter of the Qi Ji Brigade, and she also married into the Qi Brigade, not far from the Qi family, Qi's mother took Qi Shufang to find her, she just came back from delivering someone else, and she was bloody.

He Jianguo planned to follow, but was stopped by Qi Shufang.

Qi Yufang hadn't seen Qi Shufang for a long time, her attitude was very enthusiastic, after listening to the intention, she asked the month letter as usual, and immediately washed her hands and checked her pulse, "You, it's a deficiency of qi and blood, and the accumulation is not smooth, I'll give you some medicine to invigorate blood and dispel blood stasis and go back to boil it." ”

"There's nothing wrong with it, right?" Qi Mu asked worriedly.

"There's nothing wrong with it, it's just that I suffered when I was a child, and now my body is not strong enough, so I just need to make up for it. ”

Qi Shufang didn't believe in this cousin's diagnosis, she had eaten and drunk well this year, her face was ruddy, and her blood was full, how could she be deficient? If she really lost money, Granny Jin would definitely not hide it from her. Moreover, she is very anxious and wants to have a child as soon as possible, but she knows very well that she is still young and is not in a hurry to the point of becoming ill.

After spending two cents and carrying a bag of traditional Chinese medicine, He Jianguo was shocked when he saw it, and hurriedly asked what was going on.

Before Qi Shufang could speak, Qi's mother hurriedly repeated Qi Yufang's diagnosis, showing her motherly demeanor in a serious manner, "Jianguo, when you were not at home, Shufang suffered a lot, and now that you are back, you can have a snack." ”

"Mother, don't worry, I will treat Shufang well. ”

Leaving the Qi family, He Jianguo asked Qi Shufang impatiently.

"Sister Yufang's diagnosis may not be accurate, have you forgotten that I told you what my wife said to you last time? Qi Shufang raised her hand and shook the medicine bag, "It's a medicine that is three points poisonous, and I don't plan to take this medicine." ”

What is a barefoot doctor?

Barefoot doctors are rural medical personnel who have not undergone formal medical training, practicing medicine while farming, without a fixed salary, some of them come from medical families, this number is very small, because the medical family itself has been hit to a certain extent, especially those who study traditional Chinese medicine, and the other part is junior high school and high school graduates, who have received a short training in the county health school, and they have mastered some general health knowledge, treated some common diseases, or delivered babies, and some even only have a primary school education.

That said, most barefoot doctors are half-.

Of course, even if it is a half-hanger, the Helou brigade does not, usually everyone has a headache and brain fever, either endure it, or go to the barefoot doctor of the production brigade next door to see a doctor, or go to the commune to find it.

Granny Jin only knows a little about the skin of traditional Chinese medicine, but it is enough to take Qi Shufang's pulse, "What kind of medicine to take? Don't take it! You have nothing wrong with you, fortunately you came to me, if you eat indiscriminately, who will you blame if you don't get sick and get sick? I hate some quacks the most, they don't have that level of indiscriminate medicine, and they are not responsible for their lives." Here, a woman named Jiuya, has not been pregnant for more than half a year, and the monthly letter is not allowed, her mother-in-law was in a hurry, and went to a barefoot doctor to prescribe medicine and conditioning, but she took the medicine, but she lost the fetus, and she has not been well until now. ”

After flipping through the Chinese medicine in the paper bag, Granny Jin looked disgusted, "What kind of medicine is this? In traditional Chinese medicine, the difference is a thousand miles, and the consequences are very severe. ”

"Master, I didn't plan to take medicine indiscriminately. Qi Shufang just couldn't wipe her face, and spent two cents in vain.

"Well, that's right, medicine must not be eaten indiscriminately, and you must pay attention to mutual restraint in your diet, just like 'dog meat rolls, and the gods can't stand steadily', but with mung bean soup that clears heat and relieves the heat, the gods have to pull their feet soft. Granny Jin kindly explained some dietary knowledge to them, and then said: "Shufang, I see that your pulse is slightly heavy, and your ulnar pulse is slightly floating, but the pulse is too shallow, I am not very sure, you can come to me again in half a month." ”

Qi Shufang was confused: "Master, what is the inch pulse sinking and the ruler pulse floating?"

He Jianguo followed Professor Jin to learn some medical theory, and was surprised and delighted: "Master, seriously?"

"The inch pulse is heavy, and the ulnar pulse is floating, which is the phenomenon caused by the accumulation of blood and the fetal qi agitating the kidney qi. Granny Jin explained to Qi Shufang first, and then answered He Jianguo's question: "I just said, the date is too short, I can't be sure, you can wait for half a month, don't use it to find me, I guess I can be sure." ”

Qi Shufang took a long time to understand that she might be pregnant?

There were still two days left after the monthly letter, and she had a normal diet and no symptoms of early pregnancy, so she didn't expect this.

"Master, is it really?" put her hands on her lower abdomen, Qi Shufang couldn't believe the sudden surprise, looked down at the position of her hands, and unconsciously, the surprise had come?

Granny Jin hurriedly said: "Not necessarily, I said it, I can't be sure." ”

She was afraid that He Jianguo and Qi Shufang would be happy, so she reiterated three times in a row, "The days are too short, the pulse is too shallow, you wait for half a month to go directly to the hospital in the city for examination, the doctors there are a hundred times stronger than me, I know a little bit of fur." ”

Although they can't be sure, He Jianguo and Qi Shufang are very careful.

When Qi Shufang came, she sat on the back seat of the bicycle, and when she went back, the husband and wife changed to walking, He Jianguo pushed the bicycle, Qi Shufang was empty-handed, relaxed, and the New Year's goods given by He Jianjian's family and He Jianjun's family were piled up in the bamboo basket in the back seat. Among them, Zhang Cuihua fulfilled her original promise and killed a chicken for them, slaughtered a duck, and sent a lot of dried vegetables.

Qi Shufang originally refused, but Zhang Cuihua mentioned that the chickens and ducks were still assigned to her family before work, and she had been free-range, and she didn't waste her own food, if she didn't accept it, she would look down on herself.

The chicken, as soon as he got home, was stewed by He Jianguo, and he didn't ask Qi Shufang to do a little housework.

Compared with pheasants, home-raised chickens have another flavor, and they are full of oil, water, and fragrant! Pheasants are all thin, no fat, and the meat is firewood, and the stewed pheasant soup is a little better, but the fried ones are not as good as domestic chickens.

Speaking of fat, or pork is the most fragrant, Qi Shufang likes to eat braised pork stewed from fresh pork belly, but unfortunately the two of them only have two and a half pounds of meat a month, this month's meat was finally snapped up, cut more than half a pound for Qi's father and Qi's mother, and the rest was collected in a jar with ice cubes, ready to make dumplings on Chinese New Year's Eve.

Two days later, Qi Shufang's letter did not arrive, and the chance of pregnancy increased slightly, the two of them were very happy, and they were more cautious, and when Qi Shufang went to work, she still didn't come, and the prepared sanitary products were pressed at the bottom of the box and were useless.

The 27th, 28th, 29th, and 30th of the lunar month are Qi Shufang's working hours, and it is almost the Spring Festival, and there are a lot of passengers on the car, and it is not the same as usual because the military cadres and others have no holidays, and most of the people who return to their hometowns to visit relatives in the car are intellectual youths who have gone to the mountains and countryside or some soldiers and workers who have taken home leave.

Qi Shufang did not have any symptoms of early pregnancy, and worked as usual, but she was careful when doing things, and her movements were smooth and calm, she remembered that the book said that the first three months were more dangerous, and it was only after three months that she could stabilize her life.

However, too many passenger guides do not deliver meals to the car, but instead invite passengers who need a meal to the restaurant.

The same is true for the leaders, the passengers in the various carriages are crowded together, and the dining car can no longer reach the sleeper compartment through the guò compartment.

How crowded are the crowds? Count the number of educated youth.

According to later statistics and records, there are more than one million educated youths who go to the mountains and countryside in Shanghai alone!

There are more than 100,000 of them in Xinjiang alone, some of them voluntarily and some of them are forced, and at present there are not many educated youths in the rural areas below Gupeng City that have been sent from Shanghai, and even if not everyone has the opportunity to visit their relatives, the number of educated youths who have the opportunity to go home in the car is enough.

There are more and more diners, and it is getting more and more noisy, and there are not enough seats, many people are standing to eat, and many people are returning to the seats of the hard seats after eating.

In this way, the waiters in the restaurant were also busy and lacked skills, and Sister Wang hurriedly dispatched some conductors to support.

Qi Shufang held her waist, avoided the crowd, and gasped in the corner.

"Sister Shufang, come on!"

Ou Mingxiang's voice was very anxious, and Qi Shufang walked over, "What's wrong?"

Ou Mingxiang pulled her to the door of the bathroom, Yun Bai guarded and did not let people enter casually, Ou Mingxiang pushed open the door of the bathroom with a trembling hand, Qi Shufang went in and saw a female intellectual, leaning in the corner and unconscious, with a lot of blood stains on her body, and on the ground was a fetus that had been formed, which was shocking.

"Go find Sister Wang, find two older female conductors, and bring my pot of hot water. Qi Shufang was also at a loss, she had never encountered this kind of thing and didn't know how to solve it, so she could only try to stay calm and ask Sister Wang for help.

"I'll go now!" Ou Mingxiang turned around and ran away.

Qi Shufang endured the nausea in her chest, stretched out her hand and tried the breath of the female intellectual, fortunately, the breathing was not weak, "Yunbai, you look at the door, if someone comes to the toilet, ask them to go to another bathroom, saying that this place needs to be cleaned." ”

"Got it, I'm watching. ”

Knowing that such a big thing happened on the train, Sister Wang immediately handed over the work in her hand to the deputy, rushed over in a hurry, took two middle-aged female conductors, cleaned up the female intellectuals, and asked Qi Shufang and others to clean the toilets, and the three of them helped the female intellectuals to their offices.

As soon as the others left, Qi Shufang let out a whoop and vomited dimly.

The fetus that had been shed had already taken shape, a little bigger than Qi Shufang's slap, curled up in blood stains bloody.

After arriving at the destination and arranging for all the passengers to get off the train, Sister Wang did not ask Qi Shufang, Yunbai and Ou Mingxiang to stay in the carriage to clean, but asked them to send the female intellectuals named Lu Hongping home.

Because it was discovered in time, Sister Wang did not experience this kind of scene, and she saved Lu Hongping's life very well, and there were no symptoms such as postpartum hemorrhage. In order not to affect the other passengers, she asked Qi Shufang and the three of them, who found out about the incident, to put down their work in the restaurant and take care of Lu Hongping until she woke up.

When Lu Hongping woke up and learned that she had arrived in Shanghai, she struggled to go home.

In addition to her name and home address, she couldn't ask for any information at first, but Sister Wang checked the letter of introduction she brought with her and knew that she was an educated youth who cut into the queue and gathered in the brigade, and this time she was returning to her hometown to visit relatives.

Moreover, she is unmarried.

She is unmarried, and the origin of her children is intriguing.

Qi Shufang saw that Lu Hongping was about to collapse, and softly persuaded Sister Wang to get to the bottom of her plan, Lu Hongping was so sad, the inside story must be very tragic.

Looking at the haggard and speechless Lu Hongping, Qi Shufang suddenly remembered that she had read the records about the educated youth, and the original owner had usually heard a little gossip, in order to visit relatives, in order to return to her hometown, including in order to return to the city at the end of the 70s, many female intellectuals paid an unimaginable price, becoming a lifetime of pain, unwilling to look back, this era did not curb the hooliganism of some cadres bullying the educated youth because the crime of hooliganism was very strict, and many cadres relied on their power to do whatever they wanted.

Living in a village with simple folk customs, the local cadres are upright, which is definitely the luck of female intellectuals, and vice versa, it is a nightmare.

Although there are female intellectuals who voluntarily do it in order to achieve their goals, most of them are forced, and they never mention it after returning to the city, and some female intellectuals and local farmers are married and not bullied.

On the way to send Lu Hongping home, Ou Mingxiang couldn't suppress the doubts in his heart, and opened his mouth to ask, but Qi Shufang opened his mouth to stop him.

"Mingxiang, don't ask. It's so cold, hurry up and send Comrade Hongping home. ”

"Oh. ”

Qi Shufang turned to Lu Hongping and said: "Comrade Hongping, we don't ask anything, but the level of hospitals in Shanghai is much more advanced than that in Gupeng City. "It's her mother's side again, Qi Shufang sighed, I don't know who did the evil this time.

Qi Shufang's behavior made Lu Hongping's expression a little better and slightly relieved, but she only asked Qi Shufang and the others to send her to her own alley, thanked her politely, and did not mention the intention of letting them go to her house to drink hot water.

Seeing her staggering into the alley, Qi Shufang turned around with confidence.

Ou Mingxiang pouted: "What, braving the cold wind to send her home, or Sister Shufang, you gave her the bus ticket money, she doesn't even plan to invite us to drink a sip of hot water." ”

"Okay, Mingxiang, everyone has their own difficulties, so there's no need to worry about it. After Yun Bai finished speaking, he took Ou Mingxiang back to the train station, "Shufang, you vomited a lot today, are you okay? Do you need to take you to the hospital to see, do you have a bad stomach? Or go back to the hospital of our unit after returning to Gupeng City?"

"No, I just feel uncomfortable seeing that kind of scene. "It's too early to go to the hospital for a check-up in ten days and half a month, and it may not be possible to find any eyebrows.

"Oh well. ”
