For two consecutive weeks, Li Wei and his mother contacted Jianbo and Shiyun to come to their home for dinner or visit the Tang family, but they both refused for various reasons.
Liu Chunzhi discussed with her daughter afterwards: "Weiwei, it doesn't feel right. Is it because we didn't greet the Tang girl well last time and she got angry and then didn't want to come to our house?"
"Mom, don't think too much, there's nothing wrong with us. They are already busy, and the second brother can't come, so Shiyun naturally can't come here alone."
Li Wei comforted his mother, but secretly thought in his heart: These two people are probably having a conflict.
I couldn't find anyone, so I had to go to the door myself. She was going to have a pregnancy test on the weekend. Li Jianbo picked her up last month, but now she is busy, so she might not be able to come. Li Wei planned to drive there by himself, but Liu Chunzhi stopped him and said, "Why are you driving with a big belly now? Let Sister Jin take you there."
That was all she could do. Li Wei handed the car keys to Sister Jin, took the bag and left.
Liu Chunzhi repeatedly told Li Wei to be careful. If she hadn't been prone to motion sickness, she would have followed him.
Although Sister Jin is a middle-aged woman in her late fifties, she drives very steadily, so there is no need to worry.
"Madam, let's go to the supermarket after we get back from the hospital. We don't have much oil at home."
"Okay." Li Wei looked out the car window, full of thoughts.
Fortunately, it wasn't too much traffic along the way, and we arrived at the hospital not long after. She took the medical record and went straight to the obstetrics and gynecology department.
The doctor who performed her prenatal check-up happened to be here today. He saw her coming and even said hello proactively.
"Ms. Li came here by herself today?"
"yes."
Li Wei queued up to wait for various inspections. The weight was measured, the fetal heart rate was listened to, the abdominal circumference was measured, and the uterine height was measured. The assistant on the side was helping to record it. On the doctor's advice, she went for a blood test.
After the blood routine came out, the doctor looked at the data and said to Li Wei: "The anemia is worse than before. Let me prescribe a bottle of iron for you. Is the cramp in your leg serious?"
Li Wei said: "It happens occasionally, but my feet are so swollen that I can no longer wear the shoes I used to wear."
"This is a normal phenomenon. It seems that calcium supplements should be taken appropriately. Also, your weight gain is too slow. Are you not eating well?"
Li Wei said: "Four meals a day, and snacks every night, no less."
"Looking at your thin arms and legs, you still need to strengthen your nutrition to improve the symptoms of anemia."
Li Wei listened to the doctor's advice carefully and called her brother after coming out of the prenatal checkup.
Li Jianbo answered the call quickly.
"Second brother, where are you now?"
"In the hospital, what?"
"Then I'll be right over."
The other party suddenly hung up the phone, leaving Li Jianbo a little confused. He put down the phone and continued working. The intern he was leading was explaining the medical case to him nearby, and he listened intently. But ten minutes later, a woman with a big belly appeared at the door.
"Second brother!"
Li Jianbo suddenly raised his head, and was a little surprised when he saw his sister right in front of him: "Why did you come here so quickly?"
"I just went for a prenatal check-up and stopped by to see you."
The intern on the side hurriedly moved a chair for Li Wei and asked her to sit down. Li Jianbo suddenly remembered something: "Oh my God, I even forgot to pick you up for your prenatal check-up. How are you doing?"
Li Wei showed the test results to Jian Bo. Jian Bo was not an obstetrician and gynecologist, so some of the data seemed confusing, but the blood routine was clear. Li Wei showed his brother the medicine prescribed by the doctor. Li Jianbo took one look at it, nodded and said, "It's time to replenish it."
"Is the second brother very busy now?"
"Not really, are you okay?"
"I want to have a few words with you."
The intern became interested and said, "Dr. Li, let me go to the ward to have a look."
Li Jianbo waved his hand and the intern went out.
"How are you doing, Mom?"
"It's good. I just miss you and Shiyun all the time and want you to go see her."
Li Jianbo sighed and said, "I've been busy lately and can't leave. Miss Tang has signed up for a weekend class and is going to take the MBA exam. Her schedule is almost full."
"You still call me Miss Tang? Nothing has changed at all."
"I used to call her Anchor Tang, why hasn't she changed?"
"Then what did she call you?"
Li Jianbo replied matter-of-factly: "Of course it's Dr. Li, it's always been like this."
When Li Wei heard about it, he shook his head repeatedly: "You have been dating for so long and your names haven't even changed. You still seem so unfamiliar. Mom said you plan to marry her, are you serious?"
Li Jianbo smiled and said: "How can I not be serious? How can these be jokes? Besides, I have already passed that age. Now, don't all those who fall in love rush to get married?"
"But I feel that you are still very polite to each other. Second brother, tell me the truth. What is going on between you and Shiyun? Are there any conflicts?"
"Contradiction? That's not true..." Li Jianbo glanced at his sister and saw the worry on Li Wei's face. He secretly wondered if Tang Shiyun had said something to his sister, so she came to ask him these words.
"Wei, to tell you the truth, Miss Tang's father seems to be very prejudiced against me and cannot accept me."
After waiting for so long, she finally heard the truth. Li Wei was a little surprised. In her opinion, her second brother was a good enough person. What else was there to be picky about
"How high are Uncle Tang's requirements?"
"I don't know how high his requirements are. Maybe he just looks down on doctors."
"Aren't doctors good enough? Nowadays, the social status of doctors is not low at all. It's not like Daqi. Doctors have little status. Second brother, you have a stable job and now you have students. Just wait for the professional title of professor to be approved. , and his resume is not bad either.”
Li Jianbo smiled bitterly and said, "Don't you understand? The Tang family wanted to find a son-in-law who would be helpful to their business. Obviously, as a doctor, I couldn't do it, so I naturally lost the choice."
"Second brother didn't tell the Tang family about Aunt Qi?"
"She has already cut off contact with me, so what else is there to say? I am me, and my surname is Li now, not Qi."
The discord between their mother and son was obvious to Li Wei, but could it be that just because of this, the relationship would fall apart. Her second brother finally found a girlfriend.
"Second brother, what are you going to do? Are you going to give up on Shiyun?"
"Otherwise, what else do you think I can do? I can't throw away the work I'm doing now."
"But it would be too unwilling to give up like this. Second brother, you said it nicely and said you wanted to marry Shiyun, but you backed down when you encountered difficulties. This is not like you at all!"
Li Jianbo couldn't answer. He didn't know how to save the situation. Li Wei was holding her breath and hurriedly walked out of her brother's office. Now she and Zhao Qian can become a family. The second brother has done a lot in the process. When it is his turn, how can she help. This idea never stopped coming to me. She felt she should do something.
