The longed-for village system

Chapter 441 Taking Zhao Xiaogu for a Pregnancy Checkup
"Brother Chen, Sister Gu."

The OB-GYN registration nurse immediately stood up to greet the two as they arrived, a little curious as to why they were in their department. Had they come to see the advertising posters? Were they just put up today and they came right away?

Zhao Xiaogu also saw her huge endorsement poster and nodded in satisfaction. She then asked Chen Qing next to her, "Brother Chen, the endorsement poster is out. What do you think? It's alright, isn't it?"

"Of course! The photos are great, but the most important thing is that my wife is beautiful; she looks flawless no matter how you take them." Chen Qing flattered her.

Zhao Xiaogu was very satisfied with Chen Qing's answer, and her smile deepened; anyone could see her happiness.

The nurses, pregnant women, and their families around them were initially happy to see the couple, but in the blink of an eye, the two started showering them with displays of affection. Many of the men who accompanied them were also teased by their wives, who told them to learn from Xiao Chen.

"Please help us make an appointment for a color Doppler ultrasound examination."

As Chen Qing spoke, he handed Zhao Xiaogu's medical card to the nurse, who immediately registered Zhao Xiaogu and arranged for the two of them to have a VIP priority examination. However, this was within the scope of their hospital's procedures, which allowed immediate family members of chief physicians to have priority examinations under non-specific circumstances.

Although Chen Qing's professional title is not chief physician, everyone in their hospital believes that he is not qualified to be chief physician. Don't forget that the reason why this hospital has a chief physician title is entirely because of him. It can be said that this hospital itself serves Dr. Chen.

The dean is very powerful, but if he offends Brother Chen, he will be dismissed tomorrow. No one doubts this, not even the dean himself.

The people around naturally had no objections. The people who came to the obstetrics and gynecology department for check-ups were all pregnant women and not emergency patients, so delaying one check-up would not affect them at all.

Besides, Brother Chen is so busy, he should be given priority for examinations. His time shouldn't be wasted on queuing. He would be better off going back to treat more patients, that would be real life-saving. No one can guarantee that the next patient won't be a relative or friend.

After expressing their gratitude to everyone, Chen Qing and Zhao Xiaogu entered the examination room. The doctor in the examination room was taken aback when he saw Chen Qing and Zhao Xiaogu come in, and then immediately got up to greet them.

"Dr. Chen, Mrs. Chen, what brings you here?"

The doctor in charge of the examination was somewhat puzzled, since with Chen Qing's medical skills, there was no need for him to come here for an examination. He could tell whether there was a problem or not just by taking her pulse, and even if there was a problem, his medical skills would ensure the safety of both mother and child.

"Hello Dr. Wu, we're here for an ultrasound. I'd like to show Xiaogu what the baby in her belly looks like," Chen Qing greeted the doctor in charge with a smile.

Dr. Wu nodded in agreement with Chen Qing's response. It seems that traditional Chinese medicine is not omnipotent! At least Dr. Chen couldn't tell the baby's gender. This visit was probably more about confirming the baby's gender!
After Zhao Xiaogu was told to lie down, the machine started working, and soon an image appeared on the computer next to her. Zhao Xiaogu turned her head and looked at the image of the child on it, feeling very excited. This was the first time she had seen the outline of a child, although she still did not know the gender of the child.

"Brother Chen, is this our child? He's so tiny! I can't tell if it's a boy or a girl!"

"Just as you expected, she's a girl, and very healthy."

Chen Qing wasn't surprised by the test results at all; he already knew the answer. So even seeing the ultrasound, he remained calm, which surprised Dr. Wu and the nurse beside him. In all their years of experience, they'd seen countless fathers' reactions to seeing their children for the first time—excitement, elation, some even shedding tears of joy. But they'd never encountered anyone as composed as Dr. Chen. If they didn't know how loving the couple was, they would have thought they were complete strangers living together!

"Dr. Chen, why aren't you surprised at all? This must be the first time you've seen Little Snowball, right?" the nurse asked with a hint of curiosity.

"Yes! This is the first time I've seen it on the machine, but I already knew the baby's gender and condition when I took the pulse. The baby is quite quiet and hasn't caused any discomfort to her mother. She won't need a spanking after birth."

Zhao Xiaogu has hardly suffered during her pregnancy, except for slight morning sickness at the beginning. After things stabilized, she ate well and slept soundly.

"Brother Chen, don't scare Little Snowball, she can hear you."

The child also gave Chen Qing, his father, face. After hearing his words, the child made a move and gently kicked Zhao Xiaogu's stomach with his little foot, so Zhao Xiaogu felt it very directly.

"Can Dr. Chen determine a child's gender just by taking their pulse? That's amazing!" Dr. Wu once again felt that he had wasted his time studying Western medicine.

He had already conceded defeat in terms of treatment. He had thought that these advanced instruments would at least have an advantage, but now it seemed that he had lost. The other party could know these details just by taking a pulse, which was much more convenient than their instrument examination.

"It's nothing magical. A woman's body undergoes various changes during pregnancy, and the baby's development can also be reflected in the mother's pulse. Anyone with a basic understanding of Traditional Chinese Medicine can diagnose this."

As Chen Qing spoke casually, Dr. Wu and the others felt a Versailles-like wind rushing towards them. Sure enough, the way that arrogant people speak is so unique.

No, no, I can't compare. It's understandable that they're so nonchalant; after all, they're so great!

"Brother Chen, since you can tell by taking a pulse, why didn't you tell me? It made me unsure whether the child was a girl or not."

Zhao Xiaogu looked at Chen Qing with a hint of resentment in her beautiful eyes. How could he not tell her such an important thing?

Chen Qing was somewhat helpless in the face of Zhao Xiaogu's complaints, and explained, "Didn't you always say that Xiaoxueqiu was a girl, and even told you in a dream? I thought you two were telepathically connected! And I didn't deny it later."

This straight man, how can this be the same? That so-called dream was just a beautiful dream he had before they were together, which is completely different from the diagnosis.

"Brother Chen, you should really be grateful that your God has given you enough favoritism, otherwise you'd be destined to be single forever!"

Dr. Wu and the others nodded and smiled at Zhao Xiaogu's sentiments. Dr. Chen's God-like father was indeed very fond of him. Apart from being slightly lacking in emotional intelligence, he was otherwise outstanding.
