Doctor Gu, who was pushing the carriage with his apprentices, saw two familiar figures running from a distance and called out suspiciously.
Soon, he saw people on horseback waving to him.
Doctor Gu's face was filled with joy, "It's really the Xu Yue brothers and sisters, now it's better, someone can help push the cart!"
Xu Dalang was so powerful that the carriage stuck in the snow could be easily lifted out.
"Doctor Gu, is everyone okay?" Brother and sister Xu Yue got off their horses and trotted over.
When the apprentices saw their leader, their originally wilted faces immediately burst into excited smiles.
"Leader, General Xu!" the apprentices shouted excitedly, shaking their heads to express that they and others were fine.
Xu Yue nodded to everyone, and Xu Dalang responded with a cold hum.
Looking up, they saw the wheels stuck in the snow. Regardless of what the doctor and others said, Xu Yue and Xu Dalang strode forward, and the brother and sister quickly lifted the car.
The apprentices made a sound of wow and looked at the brothers and sisters with even more enthusiastic eyes.
Doctor Gu happily stroked his long beard on his chin. Along the way, his anxious heart finally settled.
"Why are you here in person? Are you here specifically to pick us up?" Dr. Gu asked tentatively.
Xu Yue smiled and said: "Everyone is waiting for you to come over."
Doctor Gu smiled, half-convinced and did not ask further questions. He asked Xu Yue brother and sister if they wanted to ride in the carriage together.
The brother and sister shook their heads, and the group of people rode horses and cars and rushed towards the county seat of Juyong County.
With the Xu Yue brothers and sisters coming to help, the speed has been significantly accelerated. There is no need to be afraid when passing through the deep snow, since there are people to help carry it.
After stopping and walking like this, when the sky was dark, the group finally arrived at the county town smoothly.
The leader came to greet him in person, but Doctor Gu felt that he was not so dignified.
After entering the city, he asked the apprentices to settle in the health center. He carried the medicine box on his back and didn't even take a bite of food. He raised his chin to the Xu Yue brothers and sisters, "Where are you going?"
Xu Yue and Xu Dalang looked at each other and took Doctor Gu to the yard where they now live.
The lights have been lit in the house, and there are three figures inside. They are Wang Pingping and Xu Da who have received the news.
Xu Erniang lay on the table with a look of helplessness. The concern of her family made her feel a lot of pressure.
When Dr. Gu walked into the room, he saw this strange scene and already felt something bad in his heart. When he took a closer look, Xu Erniang's bulging belly, which had removed the cover-up, startled him greatly.
"Second Miss, you, this..." Dr. Gu was so horrified that he could not speak.
Xu Yue closed the door and motioned for Doctor Gu to sit down.
A family of five sat together, five pairs of big eyes looked at him innocently, and then they all smiled at him.
Doctor Gu suddenly felt his hair standing on end, "Is it still too late for me to leave now?"
He really doesn't want to know these secrets!
Whose child is it?
With such a big belly, it looks like she has been pregnant for a long time, but the outside world has no news at all!
At this moment, Doctor Gu already knew why the Xu Yue brothers and sisters came out of the city to greet him in person.
"Don't be nervous, Doctor Gu. You've come all the way and don't have time to rest. Please sit down and have some snacks." Xu Da enthusiastically pushed the pastry in front of Doctor Gu.
You smiling tiger! Doctor Gu silently stepped back a little.
Xu Dalang put his hand on his back and forcefully brought a bowl of hot ginger soup to him, "Doctor Gu, drink the soup to ward off the cold."
My God, Xu Dalang is so polite to me!
"I made you laugh." Wang Pingping smiled gently.
Doctor Gu felt that he was now trapped in a tiger's mouth and could not escape.
"Alas~" Doctor Gu let out a long sigh, took the ginger soup, drank it, and ate two more snacks. His body gradually warmed up, and his shocked mood had calmed down.
Doctor Gu opened the medicine box, took out the small pillow bag, and motioned to Xu Erniang to put her hand up.
Under the gaze of her family members, Xu Erniang put her hand up helplessly, "I told you I'm fine..."
Before he finished speaking, Doctor Gu suddenly made a long face, "Are they twins?!"
He seemed a little unsure, so he asked the Xu Yue family to keep quiet and took his pulse again.
After a while, he let go of Xu Erniang's hand and said solemnly: "Second Miss is pregnant with two children. Both the adult and the child are fine now, but..."
"I'm afraid it will be difficult to give birth to twins. Even if the second lady is healthier than ordinary people, I'm afraid there will still be great risks."
They were really afraid of what would happen! Xu Yue and others, who had already made guesses, frowned.
Only Xu Erniang laughed in surprise, "That's great!"
Xu Yue glared at her, and then looked at Dr. Gu, "How big is the risk?"
Doctor Gu said solemnly: "I have also given birth to twins. Among the three ladies, only one mother and child survived. But that lady was also bedridden all year round due to the loss during childbirth."
"What about caesarean section?" Xu Yue asked.
Doctor Gu became nervous instantly. Although he had learned this medical skill, he had not yet tested it on people.
Doctor Gu looked troubled, and the success rate of the operation on Xu Erniang was undoubtedly much higher than that of ordinary mothers.
Having been with the Xu family for many years, he is not worried that the Xu family will kill him because the operation is unsuccessful.
But after all, it was his first time, and he was really a little scared.
Because if something happens, it will cost three lives!
"Looking at the second lady's condition, it will definitely be too much for adults in two months. If a caesarean section is performed, I'm afraid we can't wait until full term. We have to have a caesarean section in advance. This way, it will be safer for adults."
"I agree!" Xu Erniang said calmly.
Xu Yue and others were still considering the risks. After hearing Xu Erniang's words, they also made a choice in their hearts and respected Xu Erniang's opinion.
There are risks, but they will find ways to minimize them.
Doctor Gu looked at the family in front of him, suppressed his curiosity, and did not ask who the child in Xu Erniang's belly was.
He ate a few more snacks to calm down his shock, then stood up and left.
After returning to the clinic, I did not rest. Instead, I reviewed everything I had learned before and made several surgical plans overnight.
Fortunately, there was still plenty of time left for him, and he could continue to revise the plan according to Xu Erniang's situation.
...
The snow in Juyong County did not stop until the first lunar month. After the New Year, as soon as the snow melted, Xu Yue ordered the three brothers Zhao Bei to go south to recover the remaining counties in Youzhou.
Wang Pingping and Xu Da then led three thousand frontier cavalry to the three counties of Youbeiping, Liaoxi and Liaodong located to the west of Youzhou.
The Great Plains of Northeast China is a good place that Xu Yue has been thinking about for a long time.
With this great plain, there will be a grain production base in the north. With the help of hybrid rice, Youzhou's food crisis can be solved.
In a blink of an eye, the time came to March, when the spring flowers bloomed, Xu Erniang's birth time also came.
March 5th was the final surgery time determined by Dr. Gu after discussion with the apprentices.
