An old doctor Zhang blushed and didn't hear it, rubbed his hands and asked if he would go home and talk or rest in the health center, "If you are not tired, let's talk while walking, go back early so that your sister can cook more rice, there are not many dishes, just the freshly pickled salted duck eggs can be eaten, all of them are oily, and they are fragrant with rice." Did Ah Jiu give you those to eat? Unfortunately, he couldn't take too much, just enough to taste them. You should be able to stay for a few more days when you come back this time, right? Let your sister get some delicious supplements, one to eat two supplements, this is a critical time......

How could he have said so many things in one breath, and it was also the apprentice who came back and was in a happy mood, so he didn't finish chattering.

Yingfang loved to listen, took the master's arm, walked all the way to the master's house, and at the same time introduced her father, mother, grandfather, as well as Comrade Xiao Li and sister-in-law Fu to the master.

When he was introduced to Old Man Xiao, Zhang Youkang's eyes widened with joy: "Oh, it turned out to be Commander Xiao, my old Zhang, you don't recognize me? You and Chairman Xia led the troops to pass through our county back then, and I also gave the soldiers dysentery decoction and needles." ”

After he said this, Old Man Xiao also recognized the other party, and excitedly hugged Old Doctor Zhang's shoulder: "Youkang? Comrade Zhang? Hey, this is really a coincidence! I said that I am familiar with Ninghe County, and a few stinky boys still don't believe it, do you believe it now?"

Everyone was stunned.

No one expected that the old man had really come to Ninghe and knew the only doctor in Yanqi Commune. I thought he was trying to find an excuse when he came.

In this way, there is no need for each other.

The laughter along the way became louder.

Let the villagers who rolled up their trousers and carried hoes and iron rakes go home from work have turned their eyes sideways.

Grandma Zhang heard from the villagers passing by that the old man led a group of guests from other places to walk home, wondering what kind of guests it would be, put down the lentils that had been selected in half, lifted the apron and wiped his hands, walked to the gate of the courtyard, and looked in the direction of the village road.

"Master!"

Ying Fang saw her from afar and waved her arm happily.

Grandma Zhang's eyes were happily rippling with chrysanthemum folds: "Girl, come back, come in, come in and sit down! Old man, don't worry about talking, welcome the guests into the house, I'll make a stove and stew rice." The rice in the big stove is already cooked, so eat it first and add it after eating. ”

"Master, don't be busy, we made a lot of food before we went out, and we ate some on the train, and there is not a lot left. You can taste this meat wheat cake, my mother's unique craft. ”

Yingfang gave a rabbit meat pie to the master, and took another one to the master: "Master, you can also taste it, pad your stomach first." ”

I rushed to do it before I went out in the morning, it was already cold at this time, but it was hot, and everyone didn't care about it. When you take a bite, the marinated rabbit meat is mixed with sour bamboo shoots and garlic in sauce, which really makes your taste buds flutter.

The others, because they had eaten on the train, and only wanted to drink water and eat something refreshing to quench their thirst, were welcomed into the gate, put down their luggage, and ran to the well, scooped a spoonful of cool well water with a gourd, and drank it happily.

Yingfang was pregnant, Jiang Xinrou didn't dare to let her drink raw water, and was looking for a cup to pour cold and white, but saw Grandma Zhang come out with a watermelon.

"Your Aunt Deng sent it the day before yesterday, and your master and I are worried about such a big melon, and we are afraid of wasting it if we can't finish eating, so we put it in a cool corner, thinking that one day there will be a guest at home to split it and eat it. ”

Aunt Deng's family will plant a few watermelons in their own land every year to satisfy their grandson's hunger, and the former child got a thank you gift from Yingfang to Jiu, and picked a melon to relieve the heat of the second elder the next day. Gifts are still exchanged.

In fact, the fruit Yingfang and his party also brought a lot, plums, peaches, and big pears. But when it comes to quenching thirst, watermelon has a good effect.

Everyone sighed "comfortable" while eating.

Zhang Youkang happily looked at his apprentice's belly and quipped: "In a few months, your belly will be as big as this watermelon." He asked again, "Last time you wrote that you said that when you were pregnant with a child, you especially like spicy food, and your master and mother plan to save all the chili peppers in the field until they are red, and boil two cans of chili sauce for you and send them." As a result, this time Ah Jiu came back and said, you start to like to eat sour, sour plums, sour plums, they are as sweet as sweet in your mouth, is it true?"

As soon as she talked about this, Yingfang couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed: "Master, I don't know what's going on, in the first two months, I vomited what I ate, once I tasted spicy fried dishes, I felt that it was very good, and I didn't vomit much after eating, so I liked to eat chili." Until recently, the morning sickness was gone, and I wanted to eat sour. Golden Retriever, oh, just a little monkey adopted by my family, picking wild plums from the mountains that are not yet ripe, my mother and Brother Gangzi They taste a small bite and their teeth are sour, but I feel very refreshing. ”

"That's not it. Jiang Xinrou added, "The sour and astringent wild plum, don't stare at her, you will eat a bowl." The neighbor in the next unit sent sour jujube cakes, which have become her favorite in the past few days. I wonder if I am pregnant with twins, one is spicy, the other is sour, but this belly is not very similar, twins have more bellies than singles. So I want to wait for the weather to be cooler, and the fetus is more stable, and take her to the big hospital in Shanghai to take a B-ultrasound. ”

"What is B-ultrasound?" Grandma Zhang looked confused, she hadn't heard of it at all.

Also, there is not even a big hospital in the provincial capital, let alone a small county town of Ninghe's scale.

In addition, when rural women become pregnant, they have always obeyed the principle of ripening melons and midwife, and few of them go to the hospital.

But when it came to single or twin births, she pointed at the old man with her hand: "Isn't there a ready-made barefoot doctor? Let your master give you a pulse, you should be able to build it in four months, right?"

"Well, sit down, I'll see. Zhang Youkang took out two hand pillows, one on Yingfang's left wrist and the other on her right wrist.

Seeing this, everyone fell silent.

Zhang Youkang closed his eyes, first took the left side for a while, then took the right side for a while, and then returned to the left side when he was done.

Just when everyone was about to lose their breath and wanted to ask, he opened his eyes and nodded at Yingfang: "Judging from the pulse, there is indeed a possibility of twins." The male pulse is strong, the female pulse is weak, and in the case of twins, the female baby is relatively weak, and the nutrition must be strengthened in the later stage. ”

When the Xiao family heard this, they first felt a burst of joy, and then they couldn't help but worry: "The nutrition will definitely be strengthened, but if the girl is really too weak, will it lead to premature birth?"

Jiang Xinrou recalled that the twins of the fourth uncle were typical premature babies. When the brothers were born, they were as thin as red-haired mice, the big one was three pounds and eight taels, and the small one was only two pounds and six taels, not only small, but also weak. Not long after I was born, I had an illness and contracted pneumonia.
