Chapter 64 Twins

This was the most comfortable New Year Gu Ye and Shen Zhiyu had ever spent. They had no missions besides training, and school wouldn’t start until after the Lantern Festival. The two of them stayed at home, sleeping until they woke up naturally, and Gu Ye would cook after they got up, and then they would go for a walk. It was comfortable and carefree. But she didn’t know if it was because this New Year was too comfortable, when they went back to school, the teachers in the office were shocked when they saw Shen Zhiyu’s belly.

“Xiao Shen, how many months are you? Why is your belly so big?” Shen Zhiyu calculated, “Seven months.” She hadn’t felt that her belly was that big. And according to Fu Chunmei, her fetal position was considered posterior. Those with anterior fetal positions, their bellies would be huge in the late stages of pregnancy, like they were about to fall off.

Yi Dehua couldn’t say for sure, Shen Zhiyu’s belly wasn’t actually that big, but because her fetal position was posterior, her belly shouldn’t be this big now. But he didn’t know what to say, so he tactfully reminded her that she could go to the hospital for a check-up. “Now, pregnant women in the city will go to the hospital for a prenatal check-up, it’s good for both the mother and the child.” She had heard Chen Cui Juan say before that the doctors in the hospital were much more skilled than the midwives in the village. This was their first child, although Shen Zhiyu still did what she had to do every day, she was also very careful, hearing her colleague’s words, she went back and told Gu Ye. She had thought about going this weekend when they had a day off. Who knew, after the man heard this, he didn’t even eat dinner, he went to the hospital for a check-up first.

 As Yi Dehua said, many people in the city would go for a check-up before they were about to give birth. This way, they could know the child’s condition and more accurately estimate the due date, so they could stay in the hospital beforehand. When they arrived, there was a young couple in front of them who had just finished their check-up. “Why are you coming now, you’re about to give birth, hurry up, why are you still standing there, go and register for admission.” Shen Zhiyu and Gu Ye looked at each other, they both saw nervousness in each other’s eyes.

Especially Shen Zhiyu, she was a little uneasy. Gu Ye held her hand, “It’s okay, we’ll come for regular check-ups later.” Shen Zhiyu agreed, and after the people inside came out, they stood up and walked in. “How many months are you?” “Seven months.”

After asking some basic questions, the doctor took out a blood pressure meter and first took Shen Zhiyu’s blood pressure, then listened to her heartbeat. Everything was fine so far. She even praised Shen Zhiyu for her good health, and told her to keep it up. Shen Zhiyu couldn’t help but smile, she smiled at Gu Ye a little smugly. She had always said so, her body was very good. It was just that Gu Ye was scared by Chen Cui Juan saying that she was a premature baby and her body was weaker than others, and he was nervous whenever she sneezed.

 Seeing her like this, Gu Ye also smiled. But they hadn’t finished being happy yet, when the doctor took the stethoscope and listened to her fetal heartbeat, the smiles on both of their faces disappeared. “Have you been for check-ups before?” The doctor suddenly became serious, Shen Zhiyu and Gu Ye also became nervous, they shook their heads, “Doctor, is there a problem?

” “There’s no problem, but haven’t you noticed anything wrong?” The doctors in the army hospital had also come down from the battlefield before. When they spoke expressionlessly, their aura made Shen Zhiyu, a teacher, feel like a student who had met the head teacher, she sat up straight, “No, I’ve been eating well, sleeping well, and every time I finish eating, the baby is happy, it’s moving in my belly and playing with me.” Doctor: “…….There are two babies in your belly.”

Shen Zhiyu, Gu Ye: “…….???” Two babies? What did that mean? She was having twins?!

Shen Zhiyu’s heart skipped a beat, the doctor’s eyelids twitched, “Why are you so excited, twins are good, both the child and the adult are fine, but you need to prepare more things, and one more thing.

” The doctor paused, both of them held their breath and listened carefully to what the doctor said. “Twins are rarely full-term, they will often go into labor early, it’s best to come for a check-up every two weeks later, and be prepared to be admitted to the hospital at any time.” The two of them were still a little dazed. It was just that her belly was bigger than other people’s, how could it be twins? And her belly wasn’t that big. Shen Zhiyu swallowed, “Are twins difficult to give birth to?

” In their village, almost no one went to the hospital to give birth, they would call a midwife to help them deliver the baby at home. The only one who went to the hospital to give birth was also having twins. Shen Zhiyu had heard people say since she was a child that not everyone could have the fortune of having twins. It was too much fortune, and you had to see if you could handle it. Some people were weak, they couldn’t handle this fortune, and they would die.

Shen Zhiyu tremblingly said her thoughts, the doctor glared at her, “This is an army hospital, we have very advanced modern medical technology and equipment, what midwife, midwife.” “Pay more attention to yourself later, eat more nutritious food to nourish the babies in your belly, but control the amount, it’s not good to have babies that are too big, exercise more and move around more, it will be easier to give birth.

” Shen Zhiyu and Gu Ye took careful notes. On the way back, neither of them said anything. But they both walked slower unconsciously. When they finally got home, she took a deep breath, sat down in a chair, and felt a little dazed, “How could I be pregnant with two at once?” Gu Ye pursed his lips, “Should I go ask for leave from the school for you?”

 Shen Zhiyu shook her head, “It’s okay, the doctor also said that I can continue to work for another month, then I’ll ask for leave.”

She actually quite liked teaching at school. And teaching wasn’t tiring, the school was also very considerate of pregnant women, they arranged her classes to be relatively open, giving her enough time to rest. Of course, she had to write a letter home about this. After telling her family the good news, Shen Zhiyu quickly urged Gu Ye to get some cloth tickets and buy some cloth. Two children, they would definitely need to prepare double the clothes and diapers!

Zhu Fang, who lived not far from them, heard from her husband that Shen Zhiyu was having twins, and she proactively went to ask Shen Zhiyu if she needed any cloth. Her family had someone working in a textile factory, and they were just dealing with a batch of defective cloth. Defective cloth was cloth that hadn’t been dyed properly, and there were also some scraps left over from cutting. This cloth wouldn’t be sold to the public, the price was also lower, and it didn’t require cloth tickets, it was almost all consumed internally by the textile factory employees.

When Shen Zhiyu heard this, she immediately nodded, “Yes, yes, yes, how much do you have, I want it all, Zhu Fang, you’re so good.” Zhu Fang was a little embarrassed by her praise, she smiled and lowered her head, “It’s okay, I’ll bring it back to you tomorrow.” “Okay, thank you so much, really thank you so much.” Cloth was very precious now.

Shen Zhiyu first gave Zhu Fang thirty yuan, and she would give her the change or ask for more if needed. After giving her the money, she also gave her some of the pastries she had made and some pickled vegetables made by Chen Cui Juan, Zhu Fang couldn’t refuse. She had come to ask if she could help, but when she went back, both her hands were full, Zhu Fang was a little embarrassed. It was the first time that Political Commissar Zhou had seen Zhu Fang proactively interact with the military wives here, he was surprised and said, “Xiao Gu’s wife is pretty good, you should interact with her more.”

Zhu Fang “Hmm”ed, she also thought Shen Zhiyu was good, so she proactively went to her door and said that she had a way to get cloth. Zhu Fang was very reliable, and the next day she brought back a pile of cloth for Shen Zhiyu. It was more than enough to make clothes for two children, she could even make two sets of clothes for adults! But looking at so much cloth, Shen Zhiyu didn’t know where to start. Just as she was thinking about whether to ask a tailor to help her rush the work, someone knocked on the door, saluted, and said, “Tuan Zhang Gu, there is a middle-aged woman outside the army, she claims to be your mother-in-law.”

Shen Zhiyu stood up suddenly, she exclaimed, “My mom?!”
