Chapter 149: The Past

At the dinner table, Zhang Xin asked: "Mom, what do pregnant women need to pay attention to? I read online that you should pay attention to this and that. There are so many taboos, so why not go out at all."

He Cuizhen said: "Oh, don't listen to the nonsense on the Internet. As long as pregnant women pay attention not to fall, they basically don't have any scruples about other things. Of course, there are some things that pregnant women really need to pay attention to, such as some medicines and so on."

During the meal, He Cuizhen served Li Xueer with great enthusiasm. For the simple "love" of the elders, Li Xueer couldn't refuse for a while, so she could only look at Zhang Xin for help.

Seeing this, Zhang Xin said: "Mom, don't pick it up. You know what you want to eat. It's not that there are too few dishes and too many people to share."

He Cuizhen stopped picking up vegetables and said, "Sorry, I'm used to it."

After Zhang Xin finished eating, he remembered that there were still thirty or forty copper coins in his pocket, so he took them out on the dining table to play with.

When He Cuizhen saw it, she said, "What did you buy so many copper coins for? Grandma used to have a bunch of them at home, but I couldn't find them afterwards."

Zhang Xin picked up a Kangxi Tongbao and said, "Mom, I heard that wearing copper coins can ward off disasters and evil spirits, so I went to Panjiayuan to buy some copper coins."

He Cuizhen said: "Didn't you wear it when you were young? It turned out to be able to prevent disasters, but I didn't expect you to be so capable of causing disasters. You almost missed it several times."

"And what about the copper coin I'm wearing?"

"It broke when you were five years old, don't you remember? The copper coin fell from the red string, and you cried a lot at that time."

Zhang Xin said with a smile: "Mom, please stop joking, I am only so young, how can I remember so clearly."

While eating, Li Xueer listened to the two talking about Zhang Xin's childhood.

"By the way, Mom, let me ask you something. Before I was born, did you ever think about abortion?"

Zhang Xin glanced at Li Xueer, and suddenly remembered something that Daoist Songfeng said when he told his fortune.

He Cuizhen said in surprise: "Huh? How did you know about this? I remember that the two of us never talked about it in front of you?"

Zhang Xin hurriedly urged: "Just tell me if there is any!"

"It's not just an idea. We had already decided to have an abortion operation. Your father signed it, and I was pushed into the operating room. As a result, the doctor who treated me, Wang Xiaobing, suddenly canceled the abortion operation."

Zhang Xin was also very curious about this, and hurriedly asked the reason for canceling the abortion.

He Cuizhen then said slowly: "At that time, I happened to have gallstones. The technology in that era was not as advanced as it is now. If I had gallstones, I had to undergo surgery, but it turned out that I was pregnant."

Zhang Xin found a suspicious point and asked, "Mom, you don't even know you're pregnant, do you?"

"At that time, I didn't think about it. I thought it was because I gained weight, and I grew flesh on my stomach."

Zhang Xin glanced at Li Xueer and asked, "Don't you have morning sickness?"

"Do you think that every pregnant woman will have morning sickness?"

"Well, when I didn't ask, you continued."

"At that time, your dad and I happened to be transporting a batch of yellow sand to Jiaxing. On the way back, I suddenly felt a pain in my stomach. I didn't pay attention to it at first, but it became more and more painful. In the middle of the night, I couldn't sleep because of the pain. Your dad hurriedly got up in the middle of the night to start the engine. The device rushed back overnight."

"When I arrived in Tanqiu City, Zhejiang Province, I couldn't stand the pain. Your father had to quickly dock the boat and take me to the hospital."

"As a result, a group of doctors in the hospital didn't see what disease I had. Later, Dr. Wang Xiaobing came forward and said that it might be gallstones. Later, after an examination, it was indeed true, so he was arranged to be hospitalized that day."

He Cuizhen took a sip of the soup, and then said: "Dr. Wang Xiaobing is my attending physician. When he was preparing for the operation, he found out that I was still pregnant. This disrupted the previous treatment plan, because my family was poor at that time, so Usually the nutrition can’t keep up, the body is weak, if the operation is performed immediately, the fetus may not be saved, and other problems may be caused later, so the treatment has been put on hold.”

Zhang Xin interjected again: "Mom, didn't you say you gained weight? Why are you still not well nourished?"

"Who says gaining weight means eating well? When your sister was young, she was able to gain weight by eating only Malantou. Do you think she was nutritious at that time?"

He Cuizhen was very dissatisfied with Zhang Xin's interruption, and directly replied to him.

"At that time, I couldn't bear it any longer. My skin started to turn yellow. It would be dangerous if I didn't have an operation. My body can only bear one operation. To ensure the safety of adults, the doctors decided to abort first and then operate."

"At that time, your father signed everything, but Dr. Wang Xiaobing strongly opposed this treatment plan, saying that a miscarriage first would make me very weak, and in the end it was very likely that I would not be able to bear even an operation, so the hospital suspended the treatment plan. "

Then He Cuizhen said proudly: "At that time, your mother's situation was considered an intractable disease. People from the whole hospital and even the province came down, and they felt helpless."

Zhang Xin said speechlessly, "Mom, what do you have to show off?"

He Cuizhen didn't answer, and continued: "Later, the hospital gave me painkilling injections every day, and took various medicines and nutritional supplements to maintain my body. Until one and a half months later, you have already had more than seven months, and Dr. Wang decided to start the operation. , and two operations were performed at the same time, one was to remove the gallbladder, and the other was a caesarean section.”

"Dr. Wang was under a lot of pressure at that time. When I entered the operating room, I was prepared to be separated from your father. God bless you, the operation was successfully completed, and your child was born safely. At that time, you slapped me The older one stayed in the nursery box for a full month, and was finally taken out after it was determined that there was no danger."

He Cuizhen asked: "Tell me, are you destined to have an abortion, but it didn't work out? I took so many medicines, and people in the same ward said that the child might have mental problems in the future, or that you You will be weak and sick, but you, a brat, are not only healthy, but you have never been sick since you were a child, which is also miraculous."

Zhang Xin retorted: "Nonsense, I don't look mentally retarded. Look at how smart I am. My family counts me as the smartest."

"Yes, please, you are the smartest. The doctor said so at the time."

"Where is that doctor, I'll go to him right away and prove him wrong to his face."

Seeing Zhang Xin's reaction, Li Xueer was amused and giggled.

"Your placenta is buried under a pagoda in Tanqiu City. I don't know if the pagoda is still there."

He Cuizhen then said something unexpected.

Zhang Xin asked puzzledly, "Ah? Generally, isn't the placenta processed by the hospital when the fetus is born? Why are you being taken out of the hospital?"

He Cuizhen said: "At that time, a fortune teller instructed your father to do this, and the hospital also allowed the placenta to be taken away."

"Oh, I see."

However, Zhang Xin had doubts in his heart again, that is why a fortune teller appeared again and why he deliberately buried his placenta under the stupa.
