Yaxiang Street

The return to Nantian lasted for four or five days. In the first two days, Huimin's fever became longer and longer every day, but from the third day onwards, the fever basically disappeared.Ting Fang felt relieved, and was glad that he met Liu Xiyan that day.On the afternoon of the third day, Ting Fang arranged an obstetrical ultrasound according to Hui Min's request. It was done by Chen Jingsheng, Ting Fang's colleague. He didn't say anything, after Ting Fang and Hui Min returned to the ward, he called Ting Fang and asked Ting Fang to listen to the phone in a place where no one was around.

Ting Fang's heart sank.

Chen Jingsheng said: "Old Wu, it's true that it's not time to do an abnormality treatment now, but it looks a little bit wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"There is a duplicate kidney on the right side, and the genitals are not normal. The heart is so small that it is not accurate. I didn't look carefully, but it doesn't seem right either."

Ting Fang didn't ask what to do, he was an obstetrician, he knew it would be hypocritical to ask.

Chen Jingsheng continued: "Why don't you discuss it with Huimin and come here for the treatment of abnormalities earlier? She will be mentally prepared by then, so let me take a closer look."

Chen Jingsheng knew how hard-won their child was. Hearing that Ting Fang didn't answer, he said, "Why don't you go to Lao Liu's to have a non-invasive test. Have you done the Tang's screening?"

"Tang is fine."

"You two discuss it." Chen Jingsheng cautiously said, "I'm free anytime."

For some reason, Wu Tingfang who hung up the phone was not as angry as he imagined. He went to Chen Ze's place every day and played back the phrase "a woman has a son" over and over again in his mind. He didn't dare to think deeply. But he always felt that one day there would be an ending telling him what was going on with this sentence.

He didn't want to believe him, he only believed [-]% of what he said.However, that is still more believe than not believe.

He guessed his world was falling apart.

In the evening, Tingfang Che Huimin went home and went to the room on the second floor, Tingfang closed the door.

When he told Huimin, Huimin didn't cry, she looked so quiet.Ting Fang repeated Chen Jingsheng's words to Hui Min in the room where the sunshine from the southern sky came in from the large window on the second floor. The room was cold and cold, without any warmth at all.

This is probably the only time of the year when the sun is shining in the house and there is nothing but cold in the house.

After hearing what he said, Hui Min said, "There is no need to do non-invasive work, right? Let Lao Chen take another look."

What about after that?

Tingfang didn't ask, and Huimin didn't say anything.

The next day they made an appointment with Chen Jingsheng. Chen Jingsheng used a large abnormality removal machine to look carefully for nearly half an hour, and issued a report: two chambers of the heart, no atrium, and malformation of large blood vessels.The right kidney duplicated the kidney.External genital deformities.

As for whether it is male or female, the fetus cannot judge the sex at all.

The heart and great vessels were born with a deformity that could not be saved, even if they decided to have a sexless child.

Hui Min hardly thought about it, and asked for an abortion. She never had a bad mood again. After the court signed the operation consent form as usual, Hui Min even laughed at herself: "I don't know how many times I have eaten mifepristone. Now even Rivano is used." Ting Fang heard this and didn't know how to answer.

23-year-old Ting Fang and 23-year-old Hui Min met on the first day they entered the hospital. At that time, Hui Min was a very lively girl, smiling at everyone, with a little baby fat on her face, and a bruise on her right cheek. There is a shallow dimple.In front of her, life was bright and beautiful, and she never cried at that time.

Now 37-year-old Hui Min cried many times, but smiled when Ting Fang was about to kneel down to life.When Huimin's first test-tube baby failed, Ting Fang once suggested that it is better not to have a child. The two of them lived like this, and there was nothing wrong with it. However, Hui Min said: "Ting Fang, there is only my father in this world. My mother loves me, now there is one more you, but if you are all gone, who will love me? Just think of someone, you give birth to him, he will love you until you die, there are others I miss you—otherwise, who would have known that you lived this life! I must have a child, even if it is difficult."

Has Huimin changed?Huimin is also old, and she has wrinkles.She looked older than him, and he hadn't seen her dimples in a long time.

Ting Fang hugged Hui Min, but she stood there without moving or speaking.

"Don't get pregnant again, we can live well together." 37-year-old Wu Tingfang said this to Hui Min, but Hui Min still didn't speak.

The day that Huimin's labor pains started was Qingming Festival.When you wake up early in the morning, you can hear the sound of firecrackers. Every year at this time, you have to go up to the mountain to worship the festival. The sound of gunpowder and firecrackers starts at five or six in the morning and can last until one or two in the afternoon. "Going up the mountain" is the saying in Dongxiang. In fact, there are no mountains in the water town area. The villagers just split an open space by the river to build a cemetery, and put the ashes of the ancestors of the village's surnames in urns.The surname Wu is the common surname in the village, and more than half of the cemeteries belong to Wu's ancestors.

Dad called Tingfang one day earlier and asked if they could hurry back from the hospital to pay their respects.Two days ago, Ting Fang told his family members Huimin to induce labor. His mother was very anxious and asked what was going on. Ting Fang said that the fetus was deformed and neither male nor female. Let’s do it again, anyway, the fortune-teller said that she is going to have a son, so the fortune-teller can’t make a mistake.” As for the other things, they didn’t even bother to ask about the medical decisions made by the two doctors.Huimin's induction of labor was not as important to them as worshiping their ancestors.

The parents were somewhat indifferent to their situation, and Ting Fang felt that these emotions were also caused by themselves.Because they are all doctors, the family always thinks that you can solve it by yourself.

But the doctor induced labor will also be painful.

Huimin also didn't tell her parents, she didn't even tell them about her pregnancy this time, she thought it would be useless to tell her elders, it would only increase her worry.

Tingfang saw the tiny baby in the delivery room when it was born. Its face had a nose, eyes, and ears. It looked so normal that it didn't move.It's purple and it has no loops.

Hui Min didn't ask to see it. She and he had seen so many induced abortions whose parents didn't want them, and they all looked so similar.This one was theirs, but it was no different.

But the knife-like pain is so real, it reminds Tingfang that it is different, because he feels that looking at it one more time is like being mutilated.

He had never been in so much pain in his life.

The sound of firecrackers for ancestor worship pierced the sky, and the dull sound shook the world.Hui Min once said: If you have no offspring, who would know that you have lived this life?

Who will worship you in the future?
