The Pretty Military Wife

Chapter 259 Sliding Veins

When Doctor Liao heard that Zou Wenqing was feeling unwell, he stopped joking and took Zou Wenqing's pulse seriously.

I tried to hold it with my left hand, but seemed unsure, so I switched to my right hand.

After taking the pulse of both hands, Doctor Liao didn't know what to say.

This made Gu Sanding very anxious.

Gu Sanding's mother's family is a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners and they know some things about taking the pulse, but he himself cannot do it.

"What's going on? Please tell me. It's getting so frustrating if you don't tell me."

Doctor Liao smiled and said;

"It's not that I don't want to tell you, my technique is not good enough. It feels a bit like a slippery pulse, but it's very weak. It doesn't feel like it, but everything else is fine."

"Slippery pulse?"

Zou Wenqing didn’t know what slippery pulse was, but Gu Sanding did.

Gu Sanding looked around in surprise, then said in a trembling voice:

"Try it again. Come on, try it again."

He grabbed Zou Wenqing's hand and placed it on the table, cushioned it with a book, and asked Doctor Liao to hold it again.

Doctor Liao gave a bitter smile and then really started to treat the patient seriously again.

While doing so, he looked at Zou Wenqing, which made Zou Wenqing a little confused.

At first, Liang Xinyue guessed that she might be pregnant, and she was very happy at that time.

Now I didn’t understand what Doctor Liao said about slippery pulse, but Gu Sanding asked him to take the pulse again. So is this pulse good or bad?

Was he sick? Doctor Liao was looking at him like that. This made Zou Wenqing feel very nervous.

Doctor Liao cleared his throat:

"Ahem... Ahem...! Um... Captain Gu, Sister Zou, I want to ask you something."

Doctor Liao still felt it was a bit awkward to ask, but he asked anyway:

"Is Mrs. Zou's menstruation normal recently?"

Although Zou Wenqing felt a little embarrassed, he still knew that this was a medical consultation, so he replied:

"I'm not very normal usually. I'm always a little late. If I was going to come, it should have come in the next two days."

Doctor Liao said "oh" twice and asked:

"Have you been feeling anything wrong lately? Did you feel uncomfortable tonight?"

Zou Wenqing shook his head and said:

"I didn't feel sick at first. I just felt the loach was too fishy and wanted to vomit, so I came back and Sister Xinyue prepared another dish for me. I probably forgot to cover myself with a blanket when I took a nap at noon today. Did I catch a cold?"

Doctor Liao withdrew his hand and said seriously:

"It's like this. When I mentioned slippery pulse just now, I felt that your pulse seemed to be slippery, but I was not sure. So, wait a few days and see. If your period has not come, you can go to the county hospital to see a gynecologist. After all, I am not a professional gynecologist."

Zou Wenqing looked at Gu Sanding:

"What is a slippery pulse?"

Doctor Liao added:

"Slippery pulse is a way of feeling the pulse, also called happy pulse, which means that you may be pregnant, but the baby may still be small, or there may be some physical changes due to the absence of menstruation. So, it is not certain yet."

"It's mainly because I'm not very professional in this field. As you all know, they all call me an orthopedic surgeon."

Gu Sanding stood there in a daze. He was so excited that he didn't know how to react.

It seems that there is a real possibility of having a child. No, he doesn't want to delay for a moment, he wants to know immediately.

"Wenqing, let's go to the county and the county hospital to check if it's true... really pregnant?"

As he said this, he looked at Zou Wenqing's belly.

Zou Wenqing rolled his eyes at him. This guy looked very anxious. It was already dark, but he was still running to the county. It was already midnight when he arrived.

"I'll go tomorrow if I have to. Why would I be in such a hurry to go in the middle of the night? Besides, I'm not sure. I usually go a few days late every month. I can go in a few days. I'm in good spirits now. It's okay."

Military doctor Liao looked at Gu Sanding with amusement. When Battalion Commander Gu was on the training ground, he was a violent killer. The soldiers in the battalion he led were afraid of being led by Battalion Commander Gu during training.

Because as long as Captain Gu is leading them, their training attitude is: train to death as long as they don't die.

Now that Zou Wenqing rolled his eyes, he immediately agreed:

"Okay, okay, then tomorrow. No, I have to tell Political Commissar Xu first that I need to use the car. Also, I have to ask for leave tomorrow. And...!"

"Stop!"

Zou Wenqing glared at him again, then looked at Doctor Liao and said:

"Thank you, Doctor Liao. I'm just not sure right now, so don't tell me for now. Otherwise, I'd be embarrassed if it turns out to be the case."

Doctor Liao knew what Zou Wenqing meant, nodded and said:

"Even if it's true, the old folks said that you can't just say it in the first three months. It's better to wait for a while and then go to the county to check it ten days later. That way it will be accurate. You just happened to get it right on the date, so you may not be able to check it now."

Zou Wenqing nodded, but Gu Sanding frowned and said:

"If only it were my mom."

Zou Wenqing patted him. Gu Sanding calmed down a bit, and then he sent Doctor Liao away and came back to circle around Zou Wenqing:

"Wife, are you feeling unwell?"

Zou Wenqing glared at him:

"I feel uncomfortable looking at you."

Gu Sanding was startled at first, then smiled gently and said:

"Okay, okay, you look uncomfortable to me. I know you are speaking sarcastically. What Lao Zhou said is that women often speak in the opposite way."

Zou Wenqing ignored him and continued eating. He glared at him and said:

"I can't stand the smell, but you have to help. We can't just sit there and do nothing."

Gu Sanding immediately responded:

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll go right away. You take a good rest first. I'll pour you a cup of water and put it here."

Gu Sanding worked quickly and carefully added some sugar to the boiling water.

Then he went out. They were still eating and bragging, but Doctor Liao went back to the army.

Gu Sanding sat down and Xiao Shun asked him where he had been.

Gu Sanding whispered:

"Wenqing felt a little uncomfortable. I went back to check on him and he's fine now."

Xiao Shun gave a warning:

"You have to be careful. People are chasing you here from the city."

Gu Sanding nodded.

The children at that table finished eating first. After they finished eating, they ran next door to play with Teacher Zou.

Long Xiaomei and Qiu Yue'e began to clean up the dishes on the table where the children had eaten. Aunt Li had already prepared hot water in the pot for washing the dishes.

They took two large basins and placed them next to the well, so they could draw water directly from the well. Qiu Yue'e was more labor-intensive, so she took a bucket home and brought back a bucket of hot water.

The two of them were just starting to wash. Liang Xinyue and her table had finished eating, so it was time to clean up and wash what needed to be washed. Everyone was proceeding in an orderly manner.

Everyone could find something to do, some cleaned the table, some swept the bones on the floor, and some helped return the stools on the table.

The matter of returning the tables and chairs was left to the Liu Liang brothers.
