Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 355 Family
"I thought about it!"

Looking at his wife's rosy little face, Li Yancheng felt that his jaw was about to hit the ground in surprise.

His wife is good in every way and is a greedy person, but you can't expect her to express it. At most, she will hold your hand before going to bed, or lean into your arms after lying on the bed, but it is impossible for her to express it.

I can actually say this today. I must have been really holding it in. We got married at the end of May and found out we were pregnant in September. Our honeymoon period was actually only three months. It came to an abrupt end just when we were getting a taste of it. I think I have great fortitude to be able to hold it in until now.

Doesn’t Li Yancheng want to?

Of course he wanted to, he wanted to die.

Although as a doctor he knew that the period could come slowly after three months, he didn't dare to do so because that was his wife and unborn child. If anything happened, he wouldn't even have tears to cry, so he would rather hold it in.

Hey?
He should divert this girl's attention and let her stop thinking about it for a while, otherwise he will be the one who suffers in the end.

Thinking of this, Li Yancheng pulled out his right hand and placed it on his wife's wrist.

"Wife, let me take a look at your physical condition first. What our mother said is just the general condition, but there are also special ones."

Seeing that her husband had already started to feel her pulse, Luo Min blinked her eyes and said nothing, just waiting quietly.

As for the question of whose medical skills were better, her mother's or her husband's, she felt that this question didn't need to be considered at all.

Just look at your man who can now take over patients from the health care team experts.

Luo Min just sat obediently on Li Yancheng's lap, her big eyes fixed on the mature face that she had already engraved in her mind and never tired of looking at, her eyes full of admiration and love.

She felt so lucky to have met this man.

Although her job means she often doesn't see people and also brings her some unknown dangers, she has no regrets.

She thought this just showed that she had good vision and that her man was excellent.

Li Yancheng had no idea what his wife was thinking. He was feeling the beating of his wife's pulse, which was flowing smoothly and responsively to his fingers, like beads rolling on a jade plate, one by one sliding under his index finger, middle finger, and ring finger on her wrist.

In Li Shizhen's "Bencao Pulse Science", it is said: The slippery pulse is like beads, moving back and forth fluently but returning to the front. Do not mistake the slippery and rapid pulse for the same thing. Only the beats and the slowness of the rapid pulse can be seen. If it is slippery, it is like beads, and if it is rapid, it means six beats.

Ok?
Suddenly he felt something was wrong, so he looked down and saw that he was touching his wife's right wrist. But why did the pulse feel strange?

He loosened his hand and touched his wife's left wrist again. As soon as he touched it, he felt a very obvious pulse that was steadier and stronger than the right one.

Hey!
This discovery made Li Yancheng raise his eyebrows. No way? His good brother's wish was going to fail, at least for the time being.

In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, men are yin and women are yang, and the same is true for fetuses.

If the left pulse is more steady and stronger than the right pulse, it means the fetus is a boy. If the left pulse is not as steady as the right pulse, it means the pregnant woman is pregnant with a girl. If the strength of the pulses on both sides is not much different, it means the pregnant woman may be pregnant with twins.

Of course, this theory has no scientific basis, and no statistics have been conducted even in later generations.

However, many theories and practical experiences of traditional Chinese medicine cannot be explained by science.

Anyway, after confirming that his wife was in very good health and feeling the obvious difference in the pulses of his left and right hands, Li Yancheng was inclined to believe his own judgment.

Luo Min was now looking down at her husband's hand with some curiosity. It was the first time she saw her man taking her man's pulse for such a long time, and he kept switching his left and right hands.

But looking at his expression, it didn't seem like anything was wrong, so she refrained from asking.

After touching back and forth for a while, Li Yancheng let out a sigh of relief and withdrew his hand. Before his wife could open her mouth, he spoke first.

"wife"

"Huh? What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

"We might be having a son."

"Son...son? Son!"

Luo Min understood. She looked at her husband in surprise, then lowered her head to look at her slightly bulging belly. She raised her right hand and placed it on her belly, then raised her head and asked with a slightly dazed expression.

"Son? Dacheng, are you saying I'm pregnant with a boy?"

"Yes, at least from what I feel from your pulse, it should be a boy."

After receiving an affirmative answer from her husband, a big smile immediately appeared on Luo Min's pretty face, like a blooming flower.

Looking at the smile on his wife's face, Li Yancheng felt his eyes brighten.

Luo Min raised her arms and wrapped them around her man's neck, looking at him and said happily, "Good son, Dacheng, our Li family has an heir."

???

Now it was Li Yancheng's turn to have a dull expression on his face.

This is wrong!

He thought his wife would be disappointed, but she didn't seem disappointed at all. Instead, she looked very happy.

The reason why he thought this way was that ever since she found out she was pregnant, Luo Min had been telling Xing Lihua that they would arrange a baby marriage if she gave birth to a girl, and she even thought of several names for the girl.

"Uh... didn't you and Lihua already agree to arrange a marriage for children? How can we arrange a marriage for a boy now?"

"Oh, if this one can't get married, then let's try the next one." Luo Min shook her head indifferently.

"Sons are the most important. The Li family only has the two of us, which is a bit too thin. Now that we have a son, our family can be passed on."

"Can't daughters inherit it too, wife? I think it's the same for men and women."

As a person from later generations, Li Yancheng really does not have the old-fashioned idea of ​​passing down the family line from male to female. In his opinion, as long as it is his child, it doesn't matter whether it is a boy or a girl.

“Of course I know that men and women are the same, but they are also different.”

At this point, Luo Min leaned her head against her husband's chest and said softly, "I've felt it especially clearly during this week of living here. Although I know this is also my home, I can live however I want.

But the feeling in my heart is different. I just feel like a guest. No. 20, Meishan East Hutong is my home. It seems to give me a warmer feeling there, and I will feel freer. "

Hearing his wife's words, Li Yancheng's heart couldn't help but tremble, and he tightened his arms around her.

"Okay, we'll go home tomorrow, back to our own home."

"Um"

"dong dong dong"

Just when the couple were immersed in their emotions, there was a knock on the window suddenly heard outside.

"Dacheng, are you asleep?"

It’s Luo Yang.

"Not yet, wait a moment and I'll open the door for you."

Li Yancheng lowered his head and kissed his wife lightly on the forehead, then put her on the bed and reached out to pull the quilt over her.

"I'm going to see what's wrong with your brother. Go to bed first and don't get cold."

"go"

At this moment, Luo Min was still very happy about being pregnant with a son, and had long forgotten about what she had just mentioned.

She didn't think that it was already nine o'clock and her brother was not in the room with his sister-in-law, so why did he come to look for her man? After being put on the bed, she slipped into the quilt, smiled silly and nodded in response.

Then she leaned against the head of the bed and looked down at her abdomen, as if she wanted to see her child through her clothes and belly.

Looking at the cheerful Luo Min, Li Yancheng's smile became even wider. He leaned over and kissed his wife on the forehead again, helped her pull the quilt up, then walked out of the inner room and opened the door to the living room.

"Why aren't you resting yet? Didn't you say you'll be on duty tomorrow?"

Luo Yang was wearing a coat. After the door opened, he did not come in. He just glanced into the room and asked, "Is Xiao Min asleep?"

"Not yet. I just laid down on the bed. Come in. Isn't it cold outside?"

"Put on your coat and come out. We can smoke a cigarette outside."

Because of Li Yancheng, everyone is now very careful not to smoke indoors or around pregnant women.

"Okay, wait a minute."

Coming to see him at this time is definitely not just for smoking. After hearing what his brother-in-law said, Li Yancheng turned around and walked to the sofa, picked up the coat that Luo Min had covered herself with when she was sitting here, put it on herself, and walked out.

"what happened?"

He asked after taking the cigarette handed to him by Luo Yang and lighting it.

"The people I arranged have been investigating privately for a week, and there is still no news about Yan Jiaye. His close friends and the Yan family have also not made any moves.

No, I was wrong. It's not that his friends and family members were silent. They were also looking for him everywhere, but they didn't see him.

One of my brothers told me that in addition to the police, the people I arranged, and the friends of the Yan family and Yan Jiaye, there was another group of people who were also asking around.

The search area has now expanded to surrounding provinces and cities, Beihe, Jinshi, Dongshan, Xishan, Nanhe, and the northeast.

Honestly, Dacheng, so many people have been looking for him, but there has been no news for a week. I am increasingly convinced that he is dead and his body is hidden in a relatively secret place. What do you think about this?"

What do I think?
You can watch it standing, sitting, lying down, or any other way you want.

Li Yancheng was of course well aware that even if he turned over and scooped out all the land and sea water on the earth inch by inch, it would be impossible to find Yan Jiaye, but he couldn't tell this to anyone else.

"What can I think?" He shook his head and said, "Yan Jiaye's disappearance this time was obviously premeditated. You just said that there is a group of people looking for him. I'm sure you know who they are. What if they are the ones who are crying thief?
Luo Yang, with those people, it would be very easy for them to hide anyone they want so that others can't find them. They don't even have to go out, they can just stay in the city.

So, what I mean is that you should stop bothering your friends. There is no point in searching for them all the time. Just ask someone to keep an eye on the Yan family.

As long as he is alive, he will contact his family sooner or later.

As for whether he is dead or not, that is not the issue we should consider. Whether he is dead or not has nothing to do with me, and no one can use this to make any articles against me. "Looking at the calm expression on Li Yancheng's face, Luo Yang is now more and more convinced that Yan Jiaye's disappearance should have nothing to do with this brother-in-law.

"You're right. There's really no point in messing around like a headless fly. I'll talk to them tomorrow, but you still have to pay attention to your own safety.

I heard from my wife that Xiao Min wants to go back. Did she tell you?"

"Yes, we were just talking about this." Li Yancheng nodded and continued, "Tomorrow is Sunday. I will go over to clean the house in the morning, and Xiaomin and I will move back in the afternoon."

"Does that mean Xiao Min will go back to work?"

Since the day Yan Jiaye disappeared, Li Yancheng asked for leave from the library for his wife. However, this leave cannot be extended indefinitely, so she still has to go.

"Well, I don't have anything to do for now. I don't have to go to work. I'm basically at the Public Security Hospital every day, so I don't have to go there on time. I can pick her up during this time."

"Since being with you, Xiao Min has more and more facial expressions and says more and more things. My parents and my wife all say so.

I can't remember who told me that living with the person you love will change your personality. I used to scoff at this statement. Why is it so pretentious to be so concerned about love or not? It's just about living your life.

Now I realize that I am still a little shallow. There are some things that my parents are embarrassed to tell you directly, so they asked me to convey them. "

"What?" Li Yancheng turned his head curiously and looked at his brother-in-law beside him, waiting for what he was going to convey next.

My father-in-law and mother-in-law are really interesting. There is nothing they cannot say directly to a younger generation.

"Dacheng, Xiaomin has a stubborn temper. She likes to keep everything to herself and never speak out. Now that she's pregnant, her temper seems to be even worse. My mom says she can't stand her personality.

You are older than her, so you should be more tolerant of her. She is much better now than before, and I believe she will get better slowly..."

"stop stop"

After listening to a few sentences, Li Yancheng felt more and more uncomfortable and interrupted Luo Yang.

"Xiao Min and I got married at the end of May, and you didn't come back until December. We lived together for half a year before you came back, and Xiao Min was four months pregnant at that time.

We get along very happily and live a very happy life. What you said just now, whether it was said by you or your parents, was completely unnecessary.

In my eyes, my wife has good qualities in every aspect, including her little temper, so you don't have to worry about anything or explain anything to me.

Luo Yang, I'm going to say something that you may not like to hear. What is Xiao Min like? I know her personality and temper better than you, her brother."

Luo Yang was not annoyed by being interrupted. After listening, he chuckled and patted Li Yancheng's arm.

"It's good that you know what's going on. I said my parents were worrying about nothing. They were just worried that Xiao Min would be too stubborn and give you a headache."

"Please help my parents rest assured that what they are worried about will not happen. Xiao Min is my wife and the mother of my future child. She can be whatever she wants in front of me.

Our lives will definitely get better and better.”

"Dacheng, how long have we known each other?" Luo Yang smiled slightly and suddenly changed the subject.

"We first met at the end of the 18th year after the founding of the People's Republic of China. At that time, I was providing medical support in Mulin Town, Yishun, and you went over to inspect our work." Although he was a little surprised why he suddenly asked this again, Li Yancheng still responded.

"It's been more than two years. Time flies. When I first met you, I never thought that we would become a family in the future. I never thought that you would not only save me, but also save our family."

Li Yancheng raised his eyebrows. He didn't understand why Luo Yang suddenly brought up this. He took a puff of cigarette and waited quietly for his next words.

He didn't care at all about whether to save him or not, and he never thought of using that to make the Luo family feel that they owed him something.

"Dacheng, what I want to say is that since we are already a family, if we encounter any problems in work or life in the future, we should speak up and work together to find a solution. The old man is still in office and can still help more or less.

If you don't say anything no matter what happens and just try to solve it by yourself, then you don't treat us as a family."

"Uh... why did you suddenly say that?" Li Yancheng was a little confused. He believed that Luo Yang was not saying this without any purpose and that he must have a hidden agenda, but he couldn't figure out what it was referring to. He hadn't encountered any problems recently.

"Pretending to be confused, huh?"

"Why are you pretending to be confused? I really don't understand why you say that."

"Old Liu suddenly asked you to participate in some cancer research project at their headquarters. He wanted to borrow your medical skills and also asked you to put your unique acupuncture skills into written form, but he didn't give you a formal status.

If that damn project has any breakthrough in the future, all the credit will go to them. You have contributed both manpower and effort, but in the end, you get nothing. Isn't that a big deal?

Why, don’t you feel that he is bullying you because you don’t know anything?”

Seeing that Luo Yang was talking about this, Li Yancheng grinned.

Don't you understand? Of course he understood what those people were thinking.

The reason why he doesn't care is because he himself has other intentions than drinking.

Those people wanted to see if they could make a breakthrough in the treatment of cancer with his unique acupuncture technique, or at least let more people learn his acupuncture technique.

He just wanted to attract the attention of his superiors by treating these cancer patients so that he could help cure Mr. Wu.

As for whether those people could learn the acupuncture techniques that he inherited from somewhere, he really didn't care.

If it could really be learned that easily, so many people wouldn't be helpless when faced with that special interrogation method.

But there are some things he can't say now, especially the fact that Mr. Wu is ill. If he dares to let this news come out of his mouth, his life will be over.

He believed that even his father-in-law might not know the news yet.

"What did I think you were talking about? Who did you hear this from?"

"Of course it was from the old man. The old man asked me to tell you that he just learned about this today. Don't worry, no one can take away what belongs to you."

Hearing this, Li Yancheng turned around and looked at the study room on the first floor of the main house where the light was still on.

Whenever his father-in-law is at home, he usually takes a break after midnight, and every day he has to deal with all kinds of documents from the department under his charge.

Or you can just live in the office, which is really hard.

"I remember when we were having dinner just now, Dad said that he could take a half-day break tomorrow morning?"

"right"

"Then I'll go thank him tomorrow morning after I get up, and I won't bother him tonight."

"Is it necessary to be so polite? He is also your father-in-law. We are a family."

"It's because we are a family that we should thank him even more." Li Yancheng shifted his gaze to Luo Yang.

"We need to let our elders know that we don't take their contributions for granted."

"Whatever you want to do, I came here to tell you this. Do you want to thank the old man and think about it yourself? Okay, go to bed early. I'm going back."

"it is good"

"Oh, by the way, are you sure you want to move back tomorrow?" After taking two steps towards his room in the east wing, Luo Yang stopped and turned to ask.

"Well, Xiao Min wants to go back and live here. It's really not very convenient."

"Okay, I don't have anything to do tomorrow. Your house has been unoccupied for such a long time, it must be very dirty. I will go with you to clean it."

"Thank you"

"Go inside"

Li Yancheng stood there without moving. After watching Luo Yang walk into the east wing, he took another puff of the cigarette in his hand, then turned around and put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray he had specially placed on the windowsill. Just as he was about to go into the house, he heard the phone ringing in the main room.

He paused when he heard the phone ring and turned to look towards the main house.

The call at this time must be about something. His father-in-law might have to go out on business again.

Sure enough, less than two minutes after the call was picked up, the lights in the living room of the main house came on, and soon the faint voice of my mother-in-law was heard.

Soon after, there was movement in the front yard. It should be the staff of my father-in-law who lived in the front yard who also started to move.

He stood under the eaves and waited quietly until the old man came out of the house neatly dressed, greeted him, and talked a few words to his mother-in-law before returning to the house.

"My dad is out again?"

Seeing her man come into the room, Luo Min, who was sitting on the bed and reading a book, put down the book and asked.

"Well, he said he had something important to deal with."

"Alas... this happens so often. I think he might as well just retire. He's already 60 and still doing this."

retire?
It's not that easy.

If you don’t move forward, you will regress. At this point, even resting is a luxury, especially in this chaotic period.

Li Yancheng smiled slightly at his wife's childish words.

"Don't look at it anymore. Go to bed early. Your brother will come with me tomorrow to clean up our house. You can go back in the afternoon."

"Why don't I go back with you to clean up?"

"I feel bad for you and don't want you to get tired. Your brother also feels bad for his sister."

"Hmm...okay then."

……

Just as Li Yancheng and his wife were talking privately, someone was also talking about him in another place in the city.

"Old Guan, I personally think that it's a bit risky for you to send someone to do that."
