Heading to the Hospital
Chapter 1164 Heading to the Hospital
After starting the car, Wang An parked it in front of Mu Xueqing, got out, and helped her into the car. Then, Wang An said to Liu Guilan, who was about to get in:
"Mom, why don't you just stay home? I'll have Xiaoli come with us. We don't even know when Xueqing will give birth yet. There will be doctors at the hospital. Going to the hospital with so many people won't help at all."
Actually, there's something else Wang An didn't say: his two younger sisters are still quite young, and if Liu Guilan isn't home, she'll definitely be worried about them. In short, there's no need for Liu Guilan to go to the hospital.
Liu Guilan thought for a moment and said:
“That’s fine too. Then wait until Xueqing gives birth, and then you can come back and pick me up.”
Wang An nodded and said:
"We'll see. Maybe she'll be discharged and come back after giving birth."
After loading his belongings, which he had already packed, into the car, Wang An also brought along a dried ginseng with six leaves. He even went to the backyard of the old house and dug up a fresh ginseng with five leaves using a shovel.
Ginseng is something you should have on hand just in case. It's said that if a woman is too weak during childbirth, eating ginseng will really help, making her feel incredibly strong and energetic.
Of course, Wang An didn't want Mu Xueqing to use this stuff. The fact that she needed ginseng to give birth meant that Mu Xueqing's condition was definitely not good.
After getting into the car, Wang An suddenly said to Huang Zhong:
"Xiao Zhong, go to Wang Li's house in a little while, and then tell him that I said to have Wang Li go to Sujiatun tomorrow and tell Xue Li's family that your sister-in-law is about to give birth."
It's only right to inform her family when she gives birth.
Huang Zhong agreed upon hearing this:
"Okay, brother, I'll go right away."
After giving Huang Zhong his instructions, Wang An drove the car out of the yard.
It has to be admitted that the power and off-road capability of this GAZ are truly amazing. With more than 20 centimeters of snow, walking on it is basically no different from walking normally, and there is no slippage at all.
Wang An drove, constantly observing Mu Xueqing's facial expressions, while muttering words of comfort to her.
However, unlike Wang An's nervousness, Mu Xueqing, although she looked to be in pain, had a happy smile on her face.
Of course, Mu Xueqing was able to laugh partly because Wang An was nervous about her.
On the other hand, Mu Xueqing's face was full of anticipation about becoming a mother.
He sped along without delay, but the less than 20-minute journey felt like an eternity to Wang An.
The main reason is that Mu Xueqing's belly is very large, which basically confirms that she is carrying twins. Compared with giving birth to a single child, the risks of having twins are undoubtedly much higher. Most importantly, this is Mu Xueqing's first pregnancy, which adds even more uncertainty.
Fortunately, the road to the county town wasn't that far, and the gas was very reliable, so we arrived at the hospital smoothly.
Upon entering the hospital, Wang An went straight to Fang Xiu'e's office. It was clear that Fang Xiu'e had only recently started working there, as she was tidying up her desk.
Upon seeing Wang An, Fang Xiu'e was immediately overjoyed. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Wang An anxiously say:
"Quick, Sister Fang, my wife seems to be going into labor. Can you take a look and tell me what's going on?"
Wang An had great trust in Fang Xiue's medical skills, but he didn't know if Fang Xiue could deliver babies.
After Wang An finished speaking, Fang Xiu'e's expression immediately froze, and she quickly followed Wang An out of the office.
Fang Xiu'e simply took Mu Xueqing's pulse and touched her belly before confidently saying, "She'll be in labor at the earliest tonight. Let's get her admitted to the hospital first."
To be fair, doctors at that time relied on their medical experience and extensive medical knowledge to treat patients and examine pregnant women. This was completely different from doctors in later generations who relied on instruments for everything.
And so, under Fang Xiue's arrangement, Mu Xueqing moved into a ward with three beds.
In the ward, Fang Xiu'e examined Mu Xueqing's abdomen again, listened carefully with a stethoscope, and checked a certain part of Mu Xueqing's body.
It must be said that Fang Xiue's examination was very thorough and she appeared very professional.
Fang Xiu'e and her sister were sent-down youths in Sujiatun, so she and Mu Xueqing knew each other before.
Furthermore, Wang An had also told Mu Xueqing about Fang Xiu'e's situation, so Mu Xueqing was aware of Fang Xiu'e's existence.
Of course, Fang Xiu'e also knew about Mu Xueqing's marriage to Wang An.
Although both women knew each other and had been intimate with Wang An, they didn't reveal these things at the moment. Instead, they chatted intimately for a while, like fellow villagers who had met by chance.
After lighting the stove in the ward and settling Mu Xueqing in, Wang An went to Fang Xiu'e's office.
Upon seeing Wang An, Fang Xiu'e said with a smile:
"You're pretty good, you hit two right away, hehehehe."
Having arrived at the hospital, Wang An's anxiety had largely subsided, so upon hearing Fang Xiu'e's teasing remark, he chuckled and whispered:
"Absolutely! Don't you know how good I am? Hehehehe."
Fang Xiu'e glanced at the other doctors in the office, blushed, and gave Wang An a glare. She looked incredibly charming.
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that his child was about to be born, which put Wang An out of the mood for nonsense, he would have definitely dragged Fang Xiu'e into the car and had a real car sex session with her.
To be honest, once this idea came to mind, Wang An really kept it in mind. When he had the chance in the future, he had to have a real battle with Fang Xiu'e, Shen Wei and Sun Nian, one by one.
After flirting with Fang Xiu'e for a while, Wang An asked her:
"Sister Fang, doesn't your hospital have ultrasound machines? How about we get my wife scanned, and then check if the baby is in the right position or something?"
Fang Xiu'e rolled her eyes at Wang An again, and said with slight dissatisfaction:
"Didn't I just let Xueqing touch me? What? Don't you trust my medical skills?"
Upon hearing this, Wang An immediately shook his head and said:
"No, no, don't misunderstand, I'm just worried and confused. Look at you every day."
Highly skilled doctors have absolute confidence in their abilities, and they are usually unhappy if a layperson contradicts them.
Fang Xiu'e suppressed her emotions and calmly said to Wang An:
"Xueqing is so healthy, well-nourished, and gets enough exercise, don't worry, she won't have any problems. By the way, don't prepare brown sugar or anything like that. I'll make some herbal soup for Xueqing when I get home tonight and bring it over tomorrow. She can just heat it up and drink it then."
Wang An nodded and stopped arguing with Fang Xiu'e.
Thank you "Mengpotang" for the donation, thank you so much!
