Section 112: The Next Generation

After Tang Menglong returned to Lingao, he stayed in the second guest house of the general office of Bopu as usual - the veteran quarantine center. It was Liu San who came to check their bodies.

"Welcome heroes returning from behind enemy lines." Liu San smiled and stretched out his hand.

"Where, it's boring in that hellish place in the Jiazi Coal Mine." Tang Menglong said, "In addition to the mountain is coal, at most you can see the Nandu River." ”

Seeing that the waiters who were carrying the luggage had retreated, Tang Menglong whispered to Liu San: "You help me take a look at Jiang Wenli, she seems to be ......."

"I see." Liu San immediately understood, "I'll know in a while." ”

"Did you bring test strips?" Tang Menglong looked very nervous.

"I don't need these things." Liu San raised his hand as he spoke, "That's it." ”

"It's indeed a happy pulse." Liu San withdrew his hand to press the pulse, "Congratulations"

Tang Menglong couldn't hold back the joy in his heart: "Really? ”

"Is this a joke?" Liu San wiped his hands with an alcohol swab, "If you don't believe it, you can go to the general hospital and let her take a B-ultrasound." ”

"This, this, what to do?" Tang Menglong was at a loss for a while, what should a woman do if she is pregnant? According to the general practice of the old time and space, of course, there is a mother-in-law to guide everything. The problem is that Tang Menglong has no mother-in-law to ask for.

Liu San wondered: "What should I do?" ”

"This, how do I arrange her?" Tang Menglong muttered.

If the organization department did not approve of his transfer back to Lingao and wanted him to stay in the Jiazi Coal Mine, he could not take a pregnant woman to the Jiazi Coal Mine, a place where birds do not lay eggs - there was not even a qualified doctor.

If she is not taken back to the Jiazi Coal Mine, Jiang Wenli is a homeless person bought from the mainland, not to mention her parents, and she does not even have any relatives. Since she followed her, there was no place to stay in Lingao-Tang Menglong's dormitory was in Bairen City--she could not be allowed to go back to Fangcaodi to live in the students' collective dormitory.

"You write a submission to the Office." Liu San said, "The next generation of the elders is the future of the regime, and the General Office will never slack off." ”

"Yes, yes, and pregnant women should be more nutritious, right? I heard that pregnant women should take more folic acid, as well as vitamins and cod liver oil...... But there's nothing. ”

Liu Sanzheng said: "Human beings have multiplied for millions of years in the era when there were no folic acid tablets, multivitamin pills and cod liver oil on the earth, and they have evolved like this - you don't have to worry. ”

"Yes, yes, I understand. What to do if you don't get wet? And milk powder, we don't have it here......"

"Diapers and milk powder are only popularized in China in the 21st century, right?" Liu San couldn't help laughing, "The Chinese have existed for at least three or four thousand years. ”

Tang Menglong was already messed up and at a loss. So even the matter of writing the submission was handled by Liu San.

Of course, Xiao Zishan can only be responsible for approving the supply problem, and the specific medical problem still has to be solved by the general hospital. After Liu San asked the correspondent to send a submission, he immediately found Shi Yuanren and reported the situation.

Dr. Shi was in the newly completed 3rd Medical Laboratory at this time, and he had just seen the microscope and was rubbing the corners of his eyes.

Shi Yuanren listened to Liu San's report, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"Really? That's great, I thought the wormhole effect was making us incapacitated. ”

"Is that a possibility?" Liu San asked.

"Wormholes do have an impact on men's reproductive skills." Shi Yuanren smiled, there were many labeled test tubes on the table behind him, Liu San was far away, and he couldn't see what was written on the test tubes, "I had some doubts about this at the beginning, so I did some research in private." ”

"What did you find?"

"Well, the number is too low." "And there's a certain universality – even though I don't have a lot of samples. ”

"You mean, now the numbers are back?"

"Not now. From the time I started this study, it has been going back up month after month. Shi Yuanren had a smile on his face, "It's slow to start. However, the recovery was quicker than I expected. Even so, the old soup is outstanding. If nothing else, next year will usher in our first baby boom. ”

Liu San shook his head and said, "It's really incredible. ”

"It's science: it's based on experiments, and of course it's not clear whether the reason is necessarily wormholes. The mechanism of recovery is also unclear. It's a bit mystic. Shi Yuanren stood up and walked to the sink to wash his hands, "It's always a good thing anyway: there is no hope without offspring, and everyone has no motivation." ”

Liu... Nodded: "I'm going to let Runshitang develop and manufacture more menstrual medicines to supply the elders." Life secretaries definitely need it. ”

"Hehe, you have given them so much tonic ointment, and the land under them is very fertile. It depends on whether the seed is powerful or not. Shi Yuanren joked, "Don't forget to give some medicine to the female patriarchs." ”

"Good. I'll go back and look up the books to see what works best. ”

"Children are our future, and the more the merrier." Shi Yuanren said, "I still have to talk to Director Ai." ”

Abebe has been appointed head of the newly created Department of Gynecology - although her profession is epidemiological research.

Since the beginning of the year, she has been training the first indigenous gynaecologists and midwives. The first midwives had recently been assigned to outpatient clinics to serve the Aborigines. At present, the service objects are mainly the indigenous subjects in the traverser system, but also serve the ordinary people of Lingao.

Aibeibei promotes the concept of "giving birth in the hospital" in Lingao, and midwives can of course provide door-to-door services, but the living environment and sanitary conditions of the local aborigines are mostly very poor, which is much worse than that of the commune residents who are required to check their hygiene. In addition, whether it is the local aborigines or the immigrants who have been transported from the mainland by the crossing group, they have bad birth habits, and there are many customs that can even be said to be harmful. After her first batch of midwives were trained, she spent a lot of time doing it.

Although there is no silver bullet, scientific midwifery and postpartum care can significantly reduce maternal and infant mortality. This is an important livelihood project for the cross-border regime, which hopes to greatly increase the population.

When she heard that a life secretary was pregnant, she was very happy:

"I'm going to have a kid soon. It's really gratifying. She thought for a moment, "This should be our first baby." Let her check her body first, and then I will make a meal plan according to her situation, and suggest that she be given a special meal to increase the nutrition of pregnant women. In this way, a healthy baby can be born. ”

Abebe thought about it again and said, "I have a plan, but I don't know if everyone is willing. ”

"Say it."

"In the future, there will be more and more births for secretaries, and some female elders are likely to give birth. The female senator didn't say anything, of course, she was taken care of by her husband, but the life secretary ...... "Aibeibei didn't continue, and the implication was very clear that the life secretary was assigned to solve physiological needs, and she couldn't talk about how much affection she had with the senator for a while. The patriarch is also the owner of the canteen and dormitory, and he has to serve the secretary himself, so it may be difficult for them to take care of pregnant women.

“…… The patriarchs have a lot of work to do every day. People like Tang Menglong still have to be stationed abroad, and pregnant women lack care. "Of course, it is a common phenomenon that working women in this time and space are hard-working and can go to the fields when they are in labor. ”

Abebebe's proposal was to set up a special sanatorium where pregnant women would be cared for.

"It feels like a reproductive factory...... "I don't like it." ”

At this moment, he thought of Xuanchun - although she was not pregnant, he could not imagine that Xuanchun would have to give birth in such a place. Then he thought of the dark cloud flower again, and suddenly his whole body stopped squeaking like a deflated ball.

"Isn't it?" Abeibei smiled lightly, "This can at least ensure the health of the mother and child." In her opinion, the older patriarchs may still have a little pity for women and are full of expectations for children. Those young boys who haven't graduated from college for a long time are probably not so considerate. For them, having a baby is just a by-product of entertainment.

In this way, the idea of unified infant raising and unified education of children can be extended in the future. I am afraid that there will be a lack of affection between the child raised in this way and the father. Shi Yuanren pondered for a moment, and this didn't seem appropriate. In addition, after all, the life secretary is a member of the patriarchal family, and it seems inappropriate to make the relationship between each other without emotion and pure physiological needs and needs.

Such a society is too cold and rational. It's chilling.

"I think so. Pregnant women still live in their own homes, but they are centrally managed and their meals are specially supplied. Abebe thought for a moment, "Get regular physical check-ups. ”

Shi Yuanren agreed. After discussion, it was decided to set up a "mother and child center" within the Bairen General Hospital -- codenamed the Third Outpatient Department of the Bairen General Hospital. Centralize reproduction, fertility and pediatrics in one place.

It is a reproductive and pediatric center dedicated to the senators, which is personally run by Abebe. To this end, Bairen General Hospital is also preparing to carry out a special expansion project.

Liu San said: "I just have a worry: we don't know how the progress of our bioengineering is? If tetanus serum can be produced, the vaccine should be developed as soon as possible. Otherwise, the rate of child mortality is very high. Smallpox is quite a problem. If cowpox cannot be developed for a while, it will be replaced by traditional human pox surgery - it is more dangerous. ”

"Last time I talked to people in the biology lab," Shi said, "they are already working on some of the necessary vaccine developments." But I'm afraid it can't be too fast. The cowpox problem is relatively easy to solve, so let them solve this first. ”
