In the early morning, when the sun had just risen and the sky was still a little pale, Zhu Qingqing led her father, mother and sister back to the quiet courtyard.

Suddenly, a clear and loud cry of a baby came from the next room, breaking the silence of the courtyard and showing the vitality of new life.

Upon hearing the noise, Mother Zhu quickly said, "I'll go take a look." As she spoke, she gently pushed open the door of the wing room and walked in. She saw the mother inside the room frantically changing the diaper of the little one. It turned out that the cute little baby was feeling uncomfortable because he had pooped, so he started crying loudly.

The little guy's chubby legs kept kicking and waving his two little hands in the air. He cried so hard that his face turned red and his eyes were full of tears. It was really heartbreaking to see him.

At this time, Chunmei came over quickly with a stack of diapers in her hands and handed them to the woman in labor. She smiled and said, "Sister Xu, these diapers were carefully prepared by the sisters-in-law in our warehouse who took apart old clothes and pants! I boiled them in boiling water. The sun was strong yesterday, so they have dried out and are perfect for use."

Xu was filled with gratitude and quickly thanked everyone: "Thank you so much! If it weren't for your help, I don't know what I would do."

When the flood came, she ran out in a hurry, bringing only some food with her and supporting her mother-in-law. She had no time to pack clothes and children's things. Here she relies on everyone's help.

Chunmei waved her hands repeatedly and responded enthusiastically: "Hey, Sister Xu, why are you so polite to us? If there is anything you need help with in the future, just let me know." Before she finished speaking, she turned around and brought a basin of steaming hot water into the room, apparently intending to help the baby wash his little butt.

However, upon seeing this, Madam Xu hurriedly stopped Chunmei and said with concern, "Sister Chunmei, please stop now and let me do it! You are pregnant now, so you have to be careful and pay attention to everything!"

Chunmei, however, didn't take it seriously. She smiled nonchalantly and said, "Look at what you said. You're not that delicate at all! This little thing won't faze me."

Just as the two were pushing each other, Mother Zhu stepped forward and said, "Alright, alright, stop arguing, let me do it!" After that, she carefully picked up the child, gently washed and dried his little butt, then skillfully changed him into a clean diaper, wrapped the child tightly with a soft quilt, and finally gently put him back on the bed.

After everything was cleaned up, Mother Zhu stood up again, picked up the basin of water, walked outside, and poured the dirty water into the flower bed in the corner of the yard.

He turned to Chunmei, who looked shy, and whispered, "Oh, my dear girl, how many months has it been? Have you seen a doctor? You know, you have to be very careful in the first few months! Come, let my old man take your pulse first. Later, I will examine you carefully myself."

Hearing this, Chunmei was filled with joy and hurriedly thanked them: "Thank you, Dr. Chen, and Dr. Zhu, thank you both so much!" In fact, she had just realized that she was pregnant and had not had time to see a doctor.

Mother Zhu enthusiastically took Chunmei's hand, slowly walked out of the house, and shouted towards her house: "Doctor Zhu, come and take Chunmei's pulse!"

Before he finished speaking, Mr. Zhu came out quickly with Zhu Qingqing and Zhu Yingying.

Upon seeing Chunmei, Zhu's father asked with concern, "Chunmei, what's wrong? Your face looks red. Are you feeling unwell?"

Mother Zhu replied with a smile: "Haha, Chunmei, you're pregnant!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Qingqing immediately congratulated Chunmei with a face full of joy: "Oh my, this is such a great joyous event, congratulations, Chunmei!" Zhu Yingying beside her also echoed: "Yes, yes, congratulations!"

Faced with everyone's blessings and care, Chunmei couldn't help blushing, lowered her head and muttered softly: "Stop teasing me..." Her appearance made her look more and more cute and lovely, making everyone laugh.

Father Zhu looked at Chunmei with a smile and said gently, "Come, child, let's go to the front and I'll take your pulse." After that, he took the lead and walked forward.

Their house was filled with all kinds of things, looking a bit messy and not suitable for Chunmei to enter.

Mother Zhu quickly reached out and pulled Chunmei, saying softly, "Let's go to the living room in front first."

Arriving in the living room, Mother Zhu warmly invited Chunmei to sit down, while Father Zhu sat opposite her and felt her pulse. As time passed, the atmosphere was quiet and peaceful.

After a long while, Father Zhu finally released his fingers from Chunmei's wrist and slowly said, "Well, judging by your pulse, you're probably over forty days pregnant. The fetus is doing fine, but you're a little weak."

Chunmei: ...What should we do then?

Father Zhu: "Don't worry too much. I will prescribe a prescription for you now. You should take good care of yourself according to the instructions above. As long as your body is healthy, the fetus will naturally thrive."

Zhu Qingqing on the side quickly brought the pen, ink, paper and inkstone to the table and placed them neatly.

Seeing this, Mr. Zhu gave her a look of praise, picked up the pen on the table, thought for a moment, and then began to write the prescription carefully.

After a while, a neatly written prescription appeared before his eyes.

Father Zhu put down his pen, pointed at the prescription, and patiently explained to Chunmei, "The herbs used here are all very affordable. When you have time, go to the pharmacy and get them all, then take them home and boil them for consumption. Remember, drink it three times a day, morning, noon, and evening. Also, before I leave Yucheng, I'll leave you two more prescriptions. As long as you follow them, I guarantee you'll give birth to a healthy baby."

Chunmei clenched the prescription in her hand and thanked him four times, "Thank you, Doctor Zhu."

Mother Zhu added, "Also, there are a lot of things you need to pay attention to during pregnancy. Time is tight now, so I'll tell you in detail when I come back in the evening."

Hearing this, Chunmei burst into tears of gratitude. She quickly stood up, bowed deeply to Mr. and Mrs. Zhu, and said sincerely, "Thank you, Dr. Zhu! Thank you, Dr. Chen! You are such kind people!"

Mother Zhu quickly stepped forward to help Chunmei up, smiled and waved her hands, saying, "Oh, what are you thanking me for? This is just a piece of cake for us."
