Chapter 292: Chapter 15 Ultrasound B_2
"Really, can Wanwan eat that?" Luo Yufang asked excitedly. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
Shen Chi nodded and added, "But just eating beef jerky won’t work, otherwise the nutrition will be unbalanced."
"Would pork floss be okay? I saw it for sale at the department store last time, although it was a bit pricey," Zheng Cuicui suggested.
"I’ll go buy some and try it out," Shen Chi responded upon hearing this.
"I remember last time I visited J province, they had something called pork strips, very similar to beef jerky; the taste is quite good. You could also try that, though I’m not sure if it’s available in the Capital," Han Shouxin chimed in.
"That’s simple, Wanwan has a classmate in J province, I’ll call her and ask her to send some over," said Shen Chi, referring to Yang Xiaoli.
"Also, since beef jerky is edible, what about other similar stuff like dried tofu and bamboo shoot?"
...
In order to ensure that Lin Xiaoguai could eat, everyone really racked their brains.
Lin Xiaoguai didn’t know about the discussion downstairs. After Shen Chi got her to lie down, she closed her eyes to rest for a while. Although she felt sleepy, the discomfort in her stomach kept her awake.
She took out some white dates from the space and nibbled them gently, feeling her stomach no longer so empty. She then quietly took a book from beside her pillow and began to read.
Compared to the tension of those around her, she herself was calmer. She knew that giving birth to this child safely wouldn’t be easy, but she was actually quite indifferent.
Having struggled with infertility in her previous life, this small sacrifice seemed inconsequential to her.
As the days went by, Lin Xiaoguai’s condition remained unchanged but also didn’t weaken as others feared; it seemed to stay constant.
Shen Chi, while relieved, was increasingly eager for the first three months to pass quickly.
The doctor’s words were pretty valuable; after the first three months, Lin Xiaoguai’s appetite recovered very significantly, and the family finally felt a huge relief.
"Ultrasound!?" Lin Xiaoguai’s eyes widened.
Zheng Cuicui nodded, "It’s medical equipment imported from abroad and not yet popular among civilians. It can show the condition of the baby inside, so we thought to give it a try."
"Will it affect my health?" Shen Chi asked worriedly.
"Don’t worry, I wouldn’t dare take Wanwan if I hadn’t found out it was safe," Zheng Cuicui reassured as she looked toward Lin Xiaoguai, "Wanwan, shall we go?"
Zheng Cuicui thought Lin Xiaoguai was hesitant, but she was actually wondering if ultrasound was already available in China at this time.
She knew ultrasound had been clinically used since 1958 globally, but she wasn’t clear when it started in China.
"Let’s go then," Lin Xiaoguai replied.
She also wanted to know exactly how many children she was carrying.
When they got to the hospital, to keep Lin Xiaoguai’s pregnancy confidential, Zheng Cuicui had already arranged everything, allowing them to enter the ultrasound room discreetly.
Lying down, Lin Xiaoguai was very nervous, but when Zheng Cuicui revealed the results, she became calm.
"What, why are there three gestational sacs!?" Zheng Cuicui stared in shock at the screen that appeared completely dark to Shen Chi.
"What!?" Shen Chi was stunned, his eyes wide as he said, "Do you mean Wanwan is carrying triplets?"
Zheng Cuicui nodded and swallowed before saying, "The embryos are developing very well, you can vaguely see the main internal organs already, and the heartbeat is strong, with no disparities common in multiple births."
She was utterly excited, triplets! This could mean the Han Family might suddenly gain three grandsons, and even if they weren’t that lucky, securing at least one had become thrice as likely.
"Can Wanwan’s body handle three children?" Shen Chi’s focus was elsewhere.
He had seen the condition of Xiao’an’s three children; even though they survived because of the medicine Wanwan prepared, their health was somewhat below their peers. Wanwan had been sending tonic medication annually, and over the years, they had just reached the average children’s health level.
And he remembered Xiao’an’s sister-in-law was barely saved from a life-threatening hemorrhage; he certainly didn’t want Wanwan to face the same risk.
"It should be fine," Zheng Cuicui considered and reassured, "The fetuses in Wanwan’s womb are exceptionally healthy, and despite her currently weak appearance, she actually has very good physical attributes. Moreover, this isn’t her first pregnancy. Being careful shouldn’t be too big an issue."
Shen Chi felt slightly reassured by her words and couldn’t help but feel excited — those were three children!
Even though he didn’t have the same yearning for children as Lin Xiaoguai did, no man wouldn’t love his own children, especially those borne by the woman he loves.
Luo Yufang and the others were stunned when they got the news.
"Chi, are you saying I’m about to gain three great-grandchildren?"
Shen Chi nodded and smiled, "The three babies are fine, but Wanwan needs to eat more from now on, otherwise the fetuses might stop growing due to lack of nutrition."
"Don’t worry, now that Wanwan can eat, I’ll make sure to feed her five meals a day to catch up on what she missed in the past three months," Luo Yufang was overjoyed.
Finished, she eagerly asked Lin Xiaoguai, "Wanwan, what do you want to eat? Grandma will make it for you."
An equally delighted but slightly overwhelmed Shen Zhangming also hurriedly added, "Right, right, I just bought some fresh ribs, do you want sweet and sour ribs or rib soup? Let your grandma make it for you."
The typically reserved old gentleman also chattered happily.
Surrounded by a warm family, Lin Xiaoguai touched her abdomen and couldn’t help but reveal a faint smile. (To be continued. If you like this work, please support by casting your recommendation votes and monthly tickets at Qidian (qidian.com). Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
