"Is everything really okay?"
Seeing Xu Huizhen's uncomfortable expression, Liu Guangqi asked doubtfully.
"It's okay, it just hurts a little."
In order to dispel Liu Guangqi's doubts, Xu Huizhen said.
"The pain is normal. Your delivery process was too fast and the wound tear was serious. It will be fine in a few days."
After explaining to Xu Huizhen, an awkward silence fell between the two of them. After all, they were not very close and had only met each other a few times.
"Dr. Liu, can you call the nurse for me?"
After a while, Xu Huizhen suddenly called Liu Guangqi.
"Ah, what's wrong? Why is your face so red? It's not a fever, is it?"
Liu Guangqi, who was about to fall asleep while leaning on the back of the chair, woke up immediately when he heard Xu Huizhen calling him. Looking at Xu Huizhen's red cheeks, he immediately felt something bad. He quickly touched the other person's forehead and was relieved after confirming that there was no fever. In this day and age, postpartum infection would be a big problem. These days, New China cannot produce penicillin on its own, and anti-inflammatory drugs are extremely expensive.
"If anything happens, just tell me. The nurses are probably asleep at this point."
"Just call the nurse for me."
At Xu Huizhen's repeated request, Liu Guangqi went outside to look for the nurse, but after searching for a long time, he could not find the nurse.
"The nurse is not here. If you have anything to say, please tell me."
Liu Guangqi, who returned to the ward, said to Xu Huizhen who was lying on the hospital bed.
"ah."
Hearing that Liu Guangqi had not found the nurse, Xu Huizhen became flustered again.
"Why don't you tell me what's wrong with you? I don't shy away from medical treatment. I'm a doctor after all. If there's anything you can't tell me, there's no problem."
When Liu Guangqi saw Xu Huizhen's appearance, he walked directly to her and took her pulse, but although the pulse was weak, there was no problem at all. But if there was no problem, why would Xu Huizhen find a nurse? This really confused Liu Guangqi.
"I want to go to the toilet. Doctor Liu, can you help me go to the toilet?"
At the end, perhaps because she couldn't hold it in any longer, Xu Huizhen blushed and squeezed out a sentence, her voice as quiet as a mosquito buzzing.
"ah"
Liu Guangqi was stunned when he heard this, and instantly understood why Xu Huizhen looked so ugly just now. When helping a woman to go to the toilet, it's okay if the two of them are related, but the problem is that they have no relationship at all.
"I'd better go find a nurse."
Liu Guangqi said as he prepared to go find the nurse again.
"No, I can't hold it in anymore."
As soon as Liu Guangqi stood up, Xu Huizhen grabbed him.
"That's not okay. You are a married woman, and I am a married man. I sent you here and kept you under guard all night. It's enough for people to gossip. If you let others know that I help you go to the toilet, then The saliva will drown us both."
"If you don't tell, I won't tell, no one will know. I really can't bear it anymore, please."
Xu Huizhen was so tight that she held Liu Guangqi by the arm, and her strong self-esteem did not allow her to pee on the bed.
"Fine,"
Seeing Xu Huizhen's painful appearance, Liu Guangqi sighed and agreed. At the same time, he despised himself in his heart. How could he be so easy-hearted?
"You wait, I'll put the child aside."
After putting the child on the small bed aside, Liu Guangqi helped Xu Huizhen sit up. However, when Liu Guangqi lifted the quilt, both of them were dumbfounded. Xu Huizhen's cheeks, which were already blushing from shame, were so red that they were about to smoke. I saw that Xu Huizhen's lower body was naked and she was not wearing anything.
Only then did Liu Guangqi remember that after giving birth, women would wear no clothes in order to facilitate the removal of lochia and the doctor's examination.
"ah"
After regaining consciousness, Xu Huizhen immediately pulled the quilt over herself and buried her head in the pillow.
"Sorry, I didn't know it would be like this."
Liu Guangqi looked at the crying Xu Huizhen and apologized. Although he was not wrong, in the final analysis, he took advantage of the matter and showed everyone's most private place.
"It's okay. I don't want you anymore. You're right. I asked you to help me."
After crying for a while, Xu Huizhen sat up straight and wiped the tears from her face and said.
"Just don't blame me. I'll give you that list."
Having learned the lesson just now, Liu Guangqi pulled out a sheet from his side and handed it to Xu Huizhen. After the other party had wrapped Xu Huizhen's lower body, he helped him walk towards the toilet.
Thanks to Liu Guangqi, the hospital arranged a single ward for Xu Huizhen with a built-in toilet, which saved Xu Huizhen the time of running back and forth to the toilet outside.
After struggling to help Xu Huizhen to the toilet, the problem came again. It was a squatting toilet. Xu Huizhen couldn't squat down because of the stitches on the wound.
"How about you just stand and deal with it? You can wipe it with the towel later."
Liu Guangqi thought about it for a long time and came up with a bad idea. It can't be said to be a bad idea. There was really nothing he could do about it. He couldn't hold Xu Huizhen like a child to urinate. He couldn't do it, and Xu Huizhen probably didn't want to. .
"No, how about you support me from behind?"
Now that everyone has seen it all, Xu Huizhen is also in despair. She believed that Liu Guangqi would not tell anyone what happened today.
"Okay, since you said it, then I'll do as you said."
After a period of pattering, Xu Huizhen was finally relieved. After wrapping the order, Liu Guangqi helped Xu Huizhen out.
"Wait a moment, let me take a moment."
Seeing the lochia all over the bed, Liu Guangqi picked up the knife and paper on the side and cleaned it up. Xu Huizhen looked at Liu Guangqi who was busy with her and was confused for a while. She couldn't help but think in her heart that it would be better if Liu Guangqi was her husband. Why didn't she expect that the husband she had picked out from so many people would actually fall in love with her cousin. It would be great if I could meet Dr. Liu earlier.
Xu Huizhen was shocked as soon as this thought came up, and she quickly shook her head to get rid of the thought.
"It's almost dawn, and I should go back. It's not convenient for you now. When the nurse changes your dressing when there are many people, remember to ask the nurse to find a caregiver for you. I'm leaving."
After settling Xu Huizhen, Liu Guangqi left the hospital with Xu Huizhen's thanks. After finding a secluded place and sleeping in the space, an energetic Liu Guangqi walked towards his home.
Halfway through, Liu Guangqi thought of Xu Huizhen's father-in-law. Lao He seemed to be very angry with He Yongqiang, and he didn't know what was going on. He Yongqiang ran away with his sister-in-law, and he was alone at home with no one to take care of him. Don't die.
"Forget it, whether he dies or not has nothing to do with you."
Liu Guangqi, who was about to turn around, suddenly slapped himself, and then strode towards his home. There were so many injustices in the world, how could he handle it?
Seven days passed in the blink of an eye. Although Liu Guangqi didn't pay special attention, he still learned the news about Xu Huizhen's discharge from his teacher.
At the same time, Niu Ye and other neighbors also knew that Lao He was seriously ill. If Niu Ye hadn't seen Lao He for several days and felt that something was wrong, he went to his house to take a look and found the old man slumped on the bed. The old man had long since starved to death.
Speaking of which, the old He family was miserable enough. The whole family could run away from illness or be hospitalized, and they couldn't even take care of each other. After learning the news, Xu Huizhen couldn't stay in the hospital for a moment, so she hurriedly left the hospital.
A few days later, Liu Guangqi, who had just arrived at the hospital, learned about Lao He's death from Mr. Liu. As a neighbor, Liu Guangqi naturally went to express his condolences at Lao He's funeral.
"If you really want to be pretty, be filial."
Looking at Xu Huizhen, who was wearing white cloth and no makeup, Liu Guangqi, who had always had no feelings for Xu Huizhen, actually had a slight desire to become a Cao thief, but this idea was quickly given up by Liu Guangqi. The woman who should be captured was Liu Guangqi. Liu Guangqi would never let go of a woman who shouldn't be touched.
"My condolences. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to the hospital to see Mr. Liu and I. We will do our best and we may not refuse."
After bowing to Lao He's body, Liu Guangqi came to Xu Huizhen and comforted him.
"Thank you very much"
Xu Huizhen wiped her tears and nodded to Liu Guangqi, her eyes full of gratitude. There was a hint of shyness in her gratitude. Although others didn't notice, Liu Guangqi could see it. After all, neither of them mentioned it, but what happened cannot be forgotten even if it happened.
"Where's Yongqiang, why isn't he here on such an important occasion? Isn't it appropriate for a woman like you to come out to support the occasion?"
After the condolences ended, Pian'erye, who had never seen He Yongqiang, asked.
