Chapter 334: 334: Pregnant
Once he left, Liu Sisi couldn’t stay any longer and hurriedly took Old Uncle Wang’s bull-cart to the small town.
However, this time visiting a clinic, Liu Sisi subconsciously chose another clinic to have her pulse checked.
She naturally trusted Old Doctor He ‘s medical skills, but since she noticed an abnormality in her body, she felt uneasy meeting an acquaintance. So she consciously avoided Old Doctor He’s Clinic.
The business at this clinic was also quite good. By the time it was Liu Sisi’s turn, nearly an hour had passed.
The elder doctor put a handkerchief on her wrist before beginning to take her pulse.
Liu Sisi’s heart pounded like thunder, and her chaotic thoughts made it impossible for her to calm down. She held her breath and waited quietly for the elder doctor’s final verdict.
“Congratulations, Madam, although it’s still early in your pregnancy, it is indeed a happy pulse without a doubt.”
The elder doctor released her arm and spoke with a smiling face.
Feeling as if her brain’s blood vessels had exploded, Liu Sisi felt all her blood rushing to her head, her vision suddenly darkened, and she could hardly remain seated.
When the elder doctor saw Liu Sisi’s excited expression, he thought that she was overwhelmed with joy, and hastily tried to comfort her.
“Please, Madam, do not get too excited! Since you are still young, this pregnancy is not stable. A little carelessness could lead to a miscarriage. During normal days, Madam, you should rest in bed as much as possible, avoid overworking, don’t carry heavy objects, and strictly prohibit bedroom activities. Remember! Remember!”
After finishing his words, the elder doctor started to write a prescription.
Liu Sisi was shocked and rendered speechless; her brain took a while to process the information.
Her cheeks flushed explosively!
Did the elder doctor… find out that they had shared a room the previous night through her pulse and purposely mentioned it? Liu Sisi felt so embarrassed that she almost buried her face in her chest.
It took her quite a while to recover her stolen tongue, and she gathered the courage to ask, “Doctor, can’t I move around? Do I have to lie in bed all day and recuperate?”
Only after the elder doctor had written the prescription did he hand it to an apprentice beside him to prepare the medicine.
“Madam, don’t panic. You just need to be more cautious when walking, sitting, and lying down. Especially in bedroom affairs, be sure to remember moderation!”
The elder doctor spoke meaningfully.
These young people! He really didn’t understand what was on their minds?
They didn’t even know how to take care of their own bodies, still messing around during pregnancy! When a big problem arises, there would be nowhere to cry!
Although the elder doctor’s silent criticism wasn’t spoken aloud, his shakes of the head and sighs left Liu Sisi feeling as if she was on pins and needles.
Once the medicine was prepared, Liu Sisi quickly grabbed the medicine and put down the silver before leaving hastily.
After walking quite a distance, she finally had time to slowly digest the meaning behind the elder doctor’s words.
She couldn’t help but gently protect her lower abdomen with her hand and smiled!
A little life was growing inside!
A child connected to her by blood, she wondered if they would be more like him or more like her in the future?
After thinking about it, she made a detour to the bookstore, checked the account books and the stocks in and out, and confirmed that there was no problem. Then she went to the grocery store and bought some suitable food. Di Yelei now brought rice and grain home on his way back, but today she suddenly felt a craving and wanted to make a cake.
However, after buying the necessary items, Liu Sisi discovered another issue.
Before, the elder doctor had cautioned her not to lift heavy things. Although all these things together only weighed just over a dozen pounds, what if something went wrong?
Liu Sisi was in a dilemma!
After some thought, she simply bought two more cotton quilts, and then had Old Wang drive the bull-cart slowly back home.
Halfway there, she suddenly wondered if driving a bull-cart might also be a problem.
Suddenly, she felt that pregnancy wasn’t so beautiful after all!
Finally arriving at the foot of the mountain with trepidation, Liu Sisi pretended to have injured her ankle and asked Old Wang to help deliver the items to the courtyard.
When paying for the ride, she gave an extra 10 copper coins as a tip: “Uncle Wang, thank you for your help and for bringing these things up here for me. Why don’t you go in and have a couple of drinks of water before you leave?”
Old Uncle Wang took one look at the double fare and quickly declined: “No need for water, I still have to hurry and deliver some goods! What’s a little distance like this among fellow villagers? You should take back these extra coins. Next time you need a ride, just remember to use Old Uncle Wang’s service. Go inside! Your ankle might be a small issue or a big one; you need to rest it for a few days to heal.”
After saying that, he took his rightful share and left down the hill.
Old Uncle Wang is a pretty good guy!
Liu Sisi sighed, picked up her big and small packages, and prepared to enter the yard.
She happened to see Liu Zhi’er passing by the yard door and hurriedly called her: “Second Sister.”
Liu Zhi’er came back and saw Liu Sisi had bought a lot of small things. She quickly went forward and took them: “What’s wrong? Does your ankle still hurt?”
“No… I mean, it still hurts a bit…”
Liu Sisi didn’t know how to break the news to Liu Zhi’er, so she took back her denial and allowed Liu Zhi’er to take everything before heading to the inner room.
Perhaps knowing she was pregnant made her feel particularly drowsy. She lay down on the makeshift bed in the kitchen and fell into a deep sleep.
It wasn’t until Liu Zhi’er had cooked their meal and called Liu Sisi to get up that she sluggishly ate while dozing off.
Several times she almost dropped her chopsticks with food into the fire, frightening the others eating nearby.
After forcing herself to finish eating, she tossed her bowl and chopsticks aside and went back to sleep.
She didn’t wake up until dark.
In her daze, she seemed to hear people talking by her ear.
“What’s wrong with her? Why can’t we wake her up no matter how much we call?”
“Today she came back and went straight to bed. I asked her but she didn’t say anything. She did bring back some medicine bags, but I don’t know how to cook them and I didn’t dare try.”
“Give the medicine bags to me! I’ll go ask Zhang Peng about them and see what kind of medicine they are.”
Then there was some rustling, and Liu Sisi wanted to wake up. Her consciousness was clear but her body seemed incredibly heavy and unresponsive; she couldn’t open her eyes no matter how hard she tried.
She could only let herself be immersed in her dreams…
It seemed like a long time had passed, or perhaps just a moment, when she heard someone calling her name by her ear.
Frowning, she waved her arm to brush away the annoying mosquito.
Then, a bitter medicine liquid flowed into her mouth. Instinctively, she wanted to spit it out, but she heard Di Yelei’s familiar coaxing voice by her ear.
