Professor Gu's daily life in the countryside after his rebirth

Gu Zhan and Liu Xiaoxi rushed to the hospital during the opening hours.

The county hospital is a three-story building with old-style granular water-brushed stone decoration on the exterior. It stands out in the county town full of bungalows.

Gu Zhan took Liu Xiaoxi's hand and walked into the first floor lobby, and the first thing that caught their eyes was the payment counter.

Liu Xiaoxi held Gu Zhan's hand, her little face full of nervousness: "Gu Zhan, let's not go. I think the child is fine."

Gu Zhan touched Liu Xiaoxi's smiling face and whispered, "Since we're already here, let's go take a look. We'll feel relieved after just one look."

After asking the nurse in the hall, Gu Zhan asked Liu Xiaoxi to wait on the side while he went to queue up for registration.

The two of them arrived early, and as soon as the doctor came to work, they could go in for the examination after writing a prescription and paying the fee.

Although Gu Zhan had seen all kinds of cutting-edge medical equipment and various examination items in his previous life, and had also undergone various physical examinations, he had never been so nervous.

He forced himself to stay calm and consulted the doctor in detail about the items that needed to be checked.

When he mentioned the B-ultrasound, the doctor looked at him with a strange look: "Young man, you have to go to the provincial capital hospital for a B-ultrasound. Our county hospital doesn't have such advanced equipment."

Gu Zhan reacted and was stunned for a moment.

Yes, at that time, county-level hospitals did not have medical imaging equipment as common as in later generations. All B-ultrasound equipment had to be imported, and at least only provincial-level hospitals had it.

Gu Zhan had to give up the ultrasound examination.

Fortunately, the female doctor in charge of the examination was very experienced. She first took Liu Xiaoxi's pulse, then listened to the baby with a stethoscope, and told the young couple: "Judging from the pulse, the baby is very healthy."

Gu Zhan didn't believe it. In his previous life, his daughter had been sickly since birth, causing his wife a lot of worry. Now when he heard the doctor say that the child was healthy, Gu Zhan was a little bit unconvinced.

"Doctor, can you take another look?" Gu Zhan said embarrassedly.

The middle-aged female doctor glanced at the nervous young man in front of her and said unhappily, "If I say healthy, then it's healthy. What parent wants their child to be unhealthy?"

Gu Zhan was at a loss for words and could only defend himself: "I just want to ensure the health of my child!"

"You are a caring person. Go back and give your wife some good nutrition. The baby she will give birth to will naturally be plump and white."

The female doctor's words were like a bolt of enlightenment to Gu Zhan, instantly bringing back his sanity after being tense for several days.

In the previous life, the daughter was sickly. Could it be because Liu Xiaoxi did not rest well during her pregnancy?

At that time, she worked in the fields during the day and had endless housework to do at night. She never had a good night's sleep or a full meal. How could her child be healthy if her mother was mistreated?

Before leaving, the doctor gave Gu Zhan many instructions, which he wrote down one by one. Finally, the female doctor sternly told Gu Zhan, "Please note that you cannot have sex in the first three months."

Gu Zhan nodded seriously, and Liu Xiaoxi's face was already red.

After a tense morning, I suddenly relaxed and was left with only hunger.

Gu Zhan took Liu Xiaoxi to buy buns nearby, and after eating, they went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative.

The county town is not large and the various units are relatively concentrated. The supply and marketing cooperative is only a ten-minute walk away.

The line at the door had formed into a long queue. Gu Zhan pulled Liu Xiaoxi to follow the line. After a while, there was also a long queue behind them.

The entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative was crowded with people coming in and out. Gu Zhan carefully protected Liu Xiaoxi, trying his best to prevent others from bumping into her. He finally squeezed in.

Liu Xiaoxi thought about it and decided that the most important thing now was to buy a piece of cloth to make clothes for Gu Zhan. She didn't need anything else for the time being.

Liu Xiaoxi didn't know she would be visiting the supply and marketing cooperative again, so she didn't bring her cloth coupons with her. What should she do?

Gu Zhan was originally looking at the merchandise inside. When he looked down, he saw Liu Xiaoxi's eyebrows slightly frowned. He freed his hand and touched Liu Xiaoxi's forehead: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"I'm not feeling unwell. I didn't know you were coming to the supply and marketing cooperative, so I didn't bring the cloth coupons from home."

She said that these were the family's cloth coupons, which her mother had secretly given them to her when she got married. Since she married into the Gu family, she had never seen what a cloth coupon looked like, let alone where there were any cloth coupons.

Gu Zhan touched the cloth coupons in his pocket unnaturally, and then his expression became natural: "What do you want to buy cloth coupons for?"

"I'll buy you some cloth to make you some clothes. Your clothes are too torn to mend."

Except for the one he wore at his wedding which had fewer patches, Gu Zhan's other clothes were either discarded or given to him by villagers, and they were almost all patched up.

This time when Gu Zhan went out, he was only concerned with buying things for her and didn't buy anything for himself. It seems that he only has two sets of old coarse cloth clothes whether he goes out or stays at home. How can this be possible?

Gu Zhan was touched by what he heard. He never wastes time on unimportant things. As for his own attire, he really didn't pay attention to it, nor did he mind what kind of clothes he wore.

"I have clothes to wear, so I don't need them for now."

Liu Xiaoxi tugged at the sleeve of his shirt, which had a noticeable hole in it. "It's too torn to be mended. I need it."

"Okay, listen to my wife and buy some cloth to make clothes."

After hearing what Gu Zhan said, Liu Xiaoxi felt like a deflated balloon. How could she buy clothes without cloth coupons?

Seeing his wife's frustrated expression, Gu Zhan mysteriously took out a stack of bills from his jacket pocket and waved them in front of Liu Xiaoxi: "Don't these mean cloth coupons?"

Liu Xiaoxi looked at the cloth coupons in Gu Zhan's hand in surprise: "Where did this come from?"

Liu Xiaoxi's voice was a little loud, causing people around to look at the two of them.

Gu Zhan turned around, held the person in his arms, and moved Liu Xiaoxi towards the fabric area.

People were so close together that it was hard not to feel hot in the June sun. Finally, when Liu Xiaoxi was sweating profusely, they arrived at the fabric area.

Compared to the daily necessities area, there were relatively few people in the fabric area, and it wasn't long before it was their turn.

Liu Xiaoxi had just entered the fabric area and had begun looking at the various fabrics displayed on the counter. Her gaze now focused on several batches of black and navy blue fabrics.

Although most people nowadays wear gray-blue fabrics, Liu Xiaoxi inexplicably feels that clothes of these two colors would look good on Gu Zhan.

"I want this navy blue one, two meters and seven meters long."

The salesperson did not expect that Liu Xiaoxi would want so much clothing fabric at once. Looking at Gu Zhan beside him, his clothes were tattered and he did not look like someone who could afford so much fabric. It would be troublesome if he did not have money to buy more after cutting it up.

"This fabric is new and not cheap."

When the salesperson said this, Liu Xiaoxi was unsure. She didn't know how many cloth coupons Gu Zhan had and whether they were enough to buy so much cloth.
