Great Xia, in the southwest region, is a remote city whose economy is still underdeveloped.

It is close to the upper reaches of the longest river in the Great Xia Kingdom, with beautiful scenery, beautiful mountains and rivers, rich in fine wine, and famous for wine.

On the 29th day of the lunar month, tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, and Xu Shuang, who works in a suburban hospital, has to stay up late on night duty in addition to worrying about the safety of his husband in the city where he is blocked.

Liu Min, the doctor who changed shifts with her, went on annual leave because of some physical conditions.

In a small hospital like this town, there are only four doctors in the entire obstetrics and gynecology department, except for Liu Min, the department director, Dr. Zhang, who is almost of retirement age, and generally does not work night shifts to take care of her.

There is also a college student who comes for internship, and his business level needs to be improved, so he can't be alone, whether it's the day shift or the night shift, he can only be a foil.

Running errands, occasionally going to check if the mother is in condition, or when she rounds the ward in the morning, follow the attending doctor to make a record and make a start, and the rest is not very expected, and I don't worry about letting her do it.

Giving birth to a child is the most important and hardest thing in a woman's life, even in today's highly developed medicine, there are still risks, and many emergencies are unpredictable.

Especially when you have already come to the hospital and are about to give birth.

Therefore, doctors in obstetrics and gynecology need to be skilled, responsible, clinically experienced, and able to deal with emergencies.

The city is a county-level city, and the districts below it are actually only town-level units, and the district health center is only slightly better than the average town health center in terms of equipment, funds and medical level of doctors.

Everything else is no different.

Now that the standard of living is better, even in relatively remote areas, many families have a stronger sense of safety precautions.

Especially the kind with a better family economy, small hospitals can no longer meet their needs.

Especially in recent years, many mothers have gone to higher hospitals when they give birth.

Only women with less economic conditions go to such hospitals to give birth.

Therefore, Xu Shuang's obstetrics and gynecology department does not deliver many children in a year.

Without business, doctors have begun to streamline, and some of those with qualifications and backgrounds have moved away to better places for development.

Now there are only Xu Shuang, Director Dr. Zhang, and Liu Min in the hospital, plus an intern, who are holding the brand of obstetrics and gynecology.

The reason why Xu Shuang didn't leave was because the working hours were not too long, and secondly, the leaders of the hospital had already passed the wind with her, and when the department director Dr. Zhang retired, let her go up.

In addition, the hospital here is not big, not too far from the river, the environment is quiet, the air is fresh, it is a very nice place.

Walking along the river after work, blowing the river breeze, and feeling the wide river surface will make people open-minded and relaxed.

So Xu Shuang likes it very much.

Working here gives her a sense of comfort and tranquility away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

There are not many women who usually go to the hospital to give birth, but I didn't expect that there would be more when the Chinese New Year was approaching.

At present, two of the obstetrics and gynecology departments have given birth and have not yet been discharged, and two have just been admitted to give birth today, and it is estimated that they will be either today or tomorrow.

Of course, if the due date is exceeded, the natural delivery is not possible, and surgery is required.

Xu Shuang, who graduated from a famous school, has been honed for three or four years, coupled with the unreserved focus of the department director, Dr. Zhang, and now she is very skilled in business, whether it is surgical midwifery or general natural delivery, Xu Shuang is clinically experienced and can be completely independent.

"Xu Shuang, you've worked hard these past few days, and you're really embarrassed that you have to be on duty every day for the Chinese New Year.

Why don't I take a shift tonight? ”

When it was almost time to get off work in the afternoon, in the office, Dr. Zhang, the head of the department, looked at Xu Shuang with a smile and opened his mouth.

Xu Shuang looked at the department director who was the same as his teacher, his heart was warm, but he shook his head slightly.

In the past few years, Xu Shuang has learned a lot of clinical experience from Dr. Zhang, who often explains to her patiently and meticulously without reservation, and teaches her surgery hand-in-hand, which has benefited her a lot and her professional skills have improved by leaps and bounds.

Xu Shuang knew that his skills could improve so quickly, and Dr. Zhang contributed a lot.

So she is very grateful to Dr. Zhang, and has an apprentice-like affection for a master.

Xu Shuang was writing down the information of the hospital mother, she stopped the pen in her hand, looked up to see Dr. Zhang's gray hair, and pressed her waist with her hand.

(Dr. Zhang has a herniated lumbar disc, although he has been treated, it has not been eradicated, and it will recur when the work intensity is high.) )

hurriedly spoke: "Director, don't need it, you are so old, your back hurts, I'm still young, it's okay." ”

"That's really hard work for you, Shuangshuang, because of the unpreparedness of the epidemic, the city where your husband works has been locked down, he shouldn't be able to come back, right? It seems that the two of you will not be able to reunite during the Chinese New Year. ”

After Dr. Zhang finished speaking, he sighed softly, for the people of that city, and for Xu Shuang, whose husband couldn't come back.

"Even if the city is not locked down, he has no intention of coming back."

When it comes to such a topic, Xu Shuang's heart is like knocking over a five-flavor bottle, and there is an indescribable taste.

As a doctor, she didn't know at this moment that it would not be long before there would be symptomatic patients in the area and it would be forbidden to go out.

Everything came so suddenly, and suddenly it made people a little confused.

"What are you doing? You only got married last year, and you haven't seen each other in months, right? Doesn't he want you? ”

In addition to worrying about the city being blocked, Dr. Zhang was even more worried about Xu Shuang, feeling that the two of them should have emotional problems.

What she doesn't understand is that she hasn't been married for too long, she is a newlywed Yan'er, and Xu Shuang is more than one meter tall, fair-skinned and slender, and her appearance is also attractive.

Such a woman's husband should stay by his side every day and be reluctant to leave. But her husband looks like the opposite, in order to work, he doesn't see each other for a few months, and he doesn't even go home to reunite with his daughter-in-law and children during the New Year!

Is this normal? Obviously not normal!

"Who knows if he wants to? Never said that to me anyway. A few days ago, he called and said that he was doing some kind of further study, taking advantage of the Chinese New Year holiday to study more, and he didn't plan to come back. ”

Xu Shuang's bitter words interrupted Dr. Zhang's thoughts.

Dr. Zhang looked at Xu Shuang lovingly, her eyes were a bit like the feeling of a mother looking at her daughter, and it took a long time for her to speak:

"Shuangshuang, I don't know whether to say a sentence or not."

"Director, please say, it's okay, there is a problem between us."

Xu Shuang frowned slightly, his eyes flashed, and he lowered his head a little bitterly.

Dr. Zhang walked behind Xu Shuang, patted her on the back, and stopped talking, "I see that there is not only a situation between you, maybe your husband already has someone outside."

Of course, I'm just guessing, you should be more careful, don't always be harmless to humans and animals all day long, sometimes simplicity and kindness are also a shortcoming. ”

"Thank you Director for reminding me, I think I will come sooner or later."

Xu Shuang and Dr. Zhang were chatting, and intern Xiao Li shouted outside: "Director, quick!" The mother in room 3 suddenly complained of stomach pain, probably in advance. ”
