"Grandma, how long has this been going on?"
"It's only been a few days, what's wrong, Aunt Ding?" An Ran asked in confusion.
"Grandma isn't here this month. I'm sure she's really pregnant. Let's ask a doctor to take a look."
An Ran counted the days carefully, and she really didn't come. During this time, she was listening to the news about the Ding family and worrying about her son, so she forgot about it.
Mrs. Ding immediately asked Old Ding to set up a car and pick up the doctor.
"Don't worry, Aunt Ding. Let's go tomorrow. I'll go to the town to see a doctor tomorrow, and I'll also go to the drugstore to buy some medicinal materials. It's just convenient."
An Ran also planned to go to town in the next few days to buy some white bamboo powder. This should be mixed with winter flowers in proportion to stop bleeding and reduce inflammation.
Sister Chen is also happy for An Ran. If she has another child, An Ran's status will be more stable. No matter how many beautiful concubines there are in his backyard, they are all empty without children.
The next day, Sister Chen packed the car with thick cushions and accompanied An Ran to the town.
Shopkeeper Liu from the drugstore saw that An Ran was coming and said hurriedly: "Are you here to deliver medicinal materials today?"
An Ran smiled and bowed, and said, "Shopkeeper Liu, I'm here to buy medicinal materials today. I want white bamboo powder. How much do you have?"
The amount of this medicinal material is not large, and the drug store does not have much stock. Shopkeeper Liu asked the waiter to take inventory.
"What do you want from me, madam?"
"With the hemostatic medicine, if it's convenient for Shopkeeper Liu to get more, send me a message when you get there and I'll come and get it."
Since there was business to be done, Shopkeeper Liu would not refuse. Then An Ran asked for a few more medicinal ingredients, and Shopkeeper Liu asked the waiter to wrap them up for An Ran.
Finally, An Ran said: "Please, Shopkeeper Liu, please help me find out my veins."
Shopkeeper Liu didn't ask her any more questions about her symptoms. Please sit down quietly and take a closer look at her pulse.
After a while, shopkeeper Liu said with a smile: "Congratulations, madam, you are pregnant."
really.
Sister Chen stood by and asked quickly: "Shopkeeper Liu, does my eldest grandma need to prescribe some miscarriage pills?"
Shopkeeper Liu shook his head, "No, Mrs. An is in good health. Pay attention to your diet. Don't be too tired every day. You don't need to take any fetal medicine."
An Ran knew in her heart that any medicine would cause damage to the body. I thanked Shopkeeper Liu and asked for payment of medical fees, but was refused.
"My wife has always sent me medicinal materials. Besides, she is still my big client today, so how can I collect any more medical fees?"
An Ran thanked shopkeeper Liu, and she and Sister Chen took the purchased medicinal materials and put them on the donkey cart outside.
The two went to the grain store to buy some refined rice and noodles. Now the conditions are better than before. Now that they are pregnant, they eat more refined food.
We didn't get home until after noon. Mrs. Ding stayed here and made chicken soup for An Ran.
When she got the confirmation that An Ran was really pregnant, Mrs. Ding bowed her hands and chanted Amitabha.
"Grandma, from now on the medicine field will be handed over to Sister Chen. If you are too busy to find someone for help, please don't go."
An Ran smiled and said, "Ms. Ding, what didn't I do when I was pregnant with Little Shitou? I didn't see anything wrong. I'm not that delicate. It's okay."
Mrs. Ding said disapprovingly: "How can it be the same? If you want to go, I won't let you go if I know about it. Why bother to have another argument over this? It's not wrong."
An Ran thought to himself, now that he has a lot of beautiful concubines in his house, he is not sure whether they will come again?
Although the man belongs to others, the child is his own. In such a difficult environment back then, she gritted her teeth and kept the little stone. Now that the conditions are better, she will raise this child well.
Sister Chen from the medicine field did not allow An Ran to go back. She just let her tidy up the small vegetable garden in the courtyard when she was free. She was not allowed to do any heavy work again.
Chen Erlang's wife knew that An Ran was pregnant, so she came to see An Ran with an old hen and sat with her in the courtyard chatting for a long time.
"Second sister-in-law, don't take any more things next time you come here. The chickens you raise here are for laying eggs and selling them for money. How can you kill them and eat them now?"
Chen Erlang's daughter-in-law smiled and said: "What the farmer can have is this old hen that can be used to replenish your health. You usually give us less. I have never refused, and don't say this to me." ”
An Ran smiled and didn't refuse any more. When she left, she gave Chen Erlang's wife some pieces of commonly used fabrics and asked her to make two sets of clothes for her child.
This was much more expensive than an old hen. Chen Erlang's wife asked An Ran to put it in her basket at all costs.
"Second sister-in-law, don't be polite to me. I will be inconvenient in the future and I will not be able to protect myself, so I have to ask you to help me. If you don't take it, I won't be able to say anything."
Chen Erlang's wife smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take it. If you are so polite to me again, I will be really embarrassed to come here again."
After sending Chen Erlang's wife away, An Ran felt that she couldn't open her eyes again, so she went back to the house and lay down without forcing herself.
An Ran felt someone touching her face in a daze.
When she tried to wake herself up and stood up, she realized that it was already dark outside.
Looking at his figure, he knew that Ding Changhe was back. He sat on the edge of the Kang and couldn't help but joke, "I'm going to sleep now at what time."
An Ran rubbed his head and asked, "When did the uncle come back?"
"When I arrived a while ago, there was no one in the courtyard. I didn't see you sleeping until I entered the house."
"Sister Chen, isn't she here?"
"Here, wash clothes in the backyard."
An Ran said: "Master, you haven't eaten yet."
"I haven't eaten yet."
"Then uncle, wait a moment, let me see
