The Pretty Military Wife

In the evening, Captain Long and Zhou Guoliang returned to the family compound together. When they passed by Liang Xinyue's house, Liang Xinyue stopped Captain Long.

"Captain Long, come here first so I can talk to you."

Captain Long nodded and followed Zhou Guoliang into the house.

Liang Xinyue pointed to the stools placed in the yard and said:

"Please take a seat."

"What's the matter, sister-in-law? I feel a little nervous when you do this."

Although he was joking, Captain Long was actually a little nervous. But he still sat down.

Liang Xinyue held a little kid in her arms, handed it to Zhou Guoliang and said:

"It's not a big deal, but we need to take it seriously. Today I took Sister Zhu and Wenqing to the county hospital for a checkup. Your sister Zhu is malnourished and anemic, did you know that?"

From Captain Long’s expression, you can tell that he doesn’t even know that anemia is very bad for pregnant women.

Liang Xinyue then carefully told Captain Long what the doctor had told them:

"I know that when she was in my hometown, Sister Zhu was a very frugal person, so she always ate sparingly. My younger sister once said that if your family fried meat, she would hardly touch it. At worst, if you didn't eat it, she would use the leftover soup to mix with rice."

"I'm sorry, I was a little blunt, but Captain Long, we are all people who have come out of hardships. Before, before Lao Zhou took me out, I couldn't even have enough food, let alone oil soup."

"Captain Gu knows how thin I was when I first came to the family compound, and so did Sister Zhu. Life was harder before, and I thought it was okay if it was a little hard, but now, we get a lot of money every month."

"Of course, I don't mean to tell you how to spend your money. I mainly want to say that you don't have to be so frugal now. The doctor said that if the anemia continues, the only option is to terminate the pregnancy, that is, to have an abortion."

"Because the baby born this way will not be healthy. Wenqing and I tried to persuade her on the way back. She promised us that she would eat well."

"The doctor said that if conditions permit, it would be best for your family to have meat every day for the next few months to nourish her body. The child is only two months old now, and she should slowly gain weight. If she continues to be anemic, she won't be able to handle it, and the child won't develop well."

Captain Long's face darkened, he wiped his face with both hands and said:

"Thank you for your concern, sister-in-law. You are right to remind me. I have advised her, but... I know what she is thinking. She just wants to save the money. When our family was divided, my brother and his family said that I had a job, so they only gave us a side room, only one room."

"When my family and my younger sister go back, we only have one room. So, she wants to save some money so that she can renovate the house in the future."

"Especially after following you for the past two months, she has money in her hands. She is even happier. She saves all the money she gets from you. Sometimes, she only eats the steamed buns I bought from the group in the morning."

"We all told her about it, but she said it was white flour steamed buns, and she never had such good steamed buns at home before."

"I saw that she was eating happily and in good spirits every day. I...I lacked the care and concern for her. I didn't even know that she was suffering from anemia and malnutrition."

Zhou Guoliang also said:

"This needs to be taken seriously. If she is already anemic, every woman loses a lot of blood when giving birth. How much blood do you think a person has? Your sister Zhu is already thin and her face is pale. You need to take this matter seriously."

Liang Xinyue added:

"I've already made arrangements with her. From now on, I'll buy her some meat when I deliver groceries the next day. It's hot now, so she can't eat leftovers, so we'll just eat meat every other day. Next time I see chicks, I'll buy some and raise them. Don't be reluctant to eat them. When she's well, she'll take good care of the children and the home for you, so you can do a better job in the army."

Captain Long stood up and saluted Liang Xinyue:

"Thank you for your reminder, sister-in-law! I will definitely take care of this matter. I hope you will take care of it in the future. We can't go into the city at any time, so I hope you can help us."

Liang Xinyue smiled and said:

"You've made my youngest Ting know what to say. Why thank me? I've already warned her seriously that if she doesn't eat well and take good care of her body, I won't allow her to work again. Otherwise, what if she faints on the ground?"

"I'm telling you this just to ask you to remind her again."

When Captain Long returned home, Zhu Guixiang hurriedly asked her younger sister to bring the dishes to the table. The family was ready to eat.

There was a plate of vegetables on the table, and a plate of leftover pork liver from lunch, but there wasn't much left.

She finally came out of the kitchen, carrying two bowls, one of which was steamed eggs, and the other was an untouched pork liver:

"Dacheng, try this. This is the pork liver we fried at noon. I left a portion for you."

Long Dacheng smiled and sat down. He picked up a piece for his son first, and then picked up a piece for his little sister:

"You guys should eat too."

Then he began to pick up the pieces for Zhu Guixiang:

"No, no, I've already eaten at noon, and you haven't had it yet."

Zhu Guixiang hurriedly blocked the bowl because she had given a portion to Liang Xinyue and the others, and there wasn't much left for Long Dacheng, so she didn't want any.

But Long Dacheng said seriously:

"Guixiang, when I came back just now, Sister Xinyue talked to me. I know the results of your examination. In the future, you can't leave food for me like this. Eat as much as you can, don't save it."

"It's me, Long Dacheng, who's sorry for you. You've always been the one supporting this family. Not only have you taken good care of our son, you've also taken good care of our younger sister. The only thing you haven't taken good care of is yourself."

Long Xiaomei was stunned when she heard this. She actually didn't know that her sister-in-law had been diagnosed with malnutrition.

But she was very sensitive, looked around and asked:

"What's wrong, sister?"

"Nothing, nothing, come and eat."

Zhu Guixiang said a little unhappy. She felt that Liang Xinyue was a little nosy, and she went to a man to talk about such a small matter, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

But Long Dacheng said to Long Xiaomei:

"Your sister-in-law usually saves all the delicious food at home for us to eat. She went for a checkup today and the doctor said she is malnourished and anemic. If she continues like this, the mother will not be able to bear it and may end up having a miscarriage."

When Long Xiaomei heard this, her face turned pale and her eyes immediately reddened.

She naturally knew that her sister-in-law usually left all the delicious food at home for her and Xiaobing.

"sister."

Long Xiaomei choked up a little.

Zhu Guixiang said hurriedly:

"Look at you guys. I don't have any pain or any problem. I have good hands and feet. I can do everything well every day. What's wrong with me? Don't be scared by the doctor. I'm really fine."
