Chapter 203 Director Lin of Obstetrics and Gynecology
"The river water was about 10 degrees below zero, and I fell into a coma soon. Zhiye carried me across the Taedong River on his back with one breath.

Soon after we got ashore, our comrades came to pick us up and we were successfully rescued. However, Zhiye was severely frostbitten because he had been in the ice water for too long and was in a coma for three days before he woke up.

This kid is really lucky, luckily someone came to his rescue at that time, otherwise..." Old Ge said with a sob.

Gan Ning burst into tears and was deeply moved by their stories. This reminded her of the description in the article "Who are the Loveliest People" published by Teacher Wei Wei in the RMX Newspaper: Their qualities are so pure and noble, their wills are so tenacious and strong, their temperaments are so simple and humble, and their minds are so beautiful and broad!
That night, Liu Zhiye asked Lao Ge to stay at his house for one night, and the two of them talked for a long time by candlelight.

The next day.

At Beijing's Yongdingmen Station (South Station), Liu Zhiye saw Lao Ge off on a green steam train heading south to Shishi City.

Finally, he urged: "Old Ge, don't dawdle when you go back. Go early and come back early so that we two brothers can be reunited in the capital soon."

"Hey! Zhiye, don't worry! I will go back and settle my family, and come back as soon as possible." Lao Ge nodded in agreement.

Liu Zhiye gave him a few more instructions before letting him go. Lao Ge climbed onto the train window and waved goodbye to him, while Liu Zhiye stood on the platform, watching the train go farther and farther until it disappeared from his sight.

It is said that Lao Ge returned home that night.

His home is a two-bedroom "tube building" allocated by the cotton mill to his wife. This is a preferential treatment given by the mill to military families. According to the rank, only cadres at the section level can live in such a house. This "tube building" is simple and clear, but full of warmth and intimacy.

The architectural feature of this "tube building" is a long corridor connecting many single rooms. Because the long corridor is ventilated at both ends and looks like a tube, it is named "tube building".

This kind of house has a long corridor, and the bathroom and toilet are shared.

The area of ​​the "tube building" is small, and each single room is generally about 10 square meters. The old Ge family's house is a cadre's house, which is nearly 40 square meters.

Lao Ge’s wife is a hardworking and virtuous woman. The layout and cleanliness of the home are inseparable from her hard work.

As soon as he entered the house, Lao Ge shouted loudly: "Dujuan, I'm back!"

Du Juan came out of the bedroom and whispered, "Keep your voice down. The children are all asleep. Don't wake them up."

She then asked in confusion: "Didn't you say you were going to Beijing to visit your comrades and have fun for two days? Why did you go home after only two days?"

Lao Ge responded to him: "This kid has no mother - it's a long story! Go make me a pot of tea, I'm so thirsty, I'll tell you slowly later." As he spoke, he threw his suitcase bag next to the sofa.

Dujuan turned around and quickly made him a pot of tea, then went to pack his luggage.

She took out her clothes one by one and folded them, and then packed up some of her personal belongings and put them away.

Du Juan suddenly found a thick envelope in her bag, on which was written in a flamboyant style: "Written by Ge Shuping, kept by Liu Zhiye."

She was a woman who had received primary school education and had a certain level of cultural literacy. When she saw the handwriting, she immediately concluded that the writer was an educated person.

Du Juan said to Lao Ge in surprise: "Hey! You have a bulging letter here. How come it feels like a bag of money?"

Hearing this, Lao Ge was a little confused. When did he find a letter in his bag? How come he didn't know about it? "Give it to me and let me have a look..."

Then, he took the envelope and looked at it, "Hey! Did Zhiye leave it for me?"

He opened the envelope and the couple were stunned. It turned out that there were dozens of Great Unity notes in the envelope, totaling more than 500 yuan, and 20 to 30 national food coupons, meat coupons and other bills.

Du Juan exclaimed: "This...what's going on, Lao Ge?"

Old Ge vaguely guessed something in his heart, so he said, "Don't worry, let me see what's written in the letter first..."

After reading Liu Zhiye's letter, he understood the deep meaning. It turned out that this letter was specially prepared by Liu Zhiye for him to use when his family moved to the capital. This was undoubtedly a gift for the poor and the rich, and it would always be useful.

Liu Zhiye knew that if he gave the letter to him in person, he might be rejected, so he secretly put the letter into his package. This kind of attentiveness and consideration made people feel warm.

"You are so good, Liu Zhiye, you are ambushing me here!" After reading the letter, Lao Ge was filled with emotion.

Then he calmed down, took Du Juan's hand, and said, "Wife, come and sit down. I have something to discuss with you."

Du Juan looked at Lao Ge's serious expression and asked in confusion, "Lao Ge, what on earth is making you so cautious?"

"Hey! It's good news! Listen to me..." Lao Ge then told Dujuan the whole story.

Du Juanwen said in surprise: "Really? Then we can live in the capital in the future!" Who doesn't want to live in the capital? People all over the country yearn for it. Imagine the bustling streets, the lively markets, and the towering palaces. They are all fascinating. However, living in the capital is not an easy thing, and you need to be fully prepared.

Du Juan asked worriedly, "Lao Ge, what should we do if the factory doesn't cooperate?"

Old Ge smiled and comforted her, "I haven't officially started working at the factory yet, so it's not a problem. And you're only in charge of the Women's Federation, not a critical department, so just relax!"

After hearing his answer, Du Juan finally put aside her worries and looked forward to the upcoming life in the capital with great joy.

"Oh! We have to prepare early for a place far away from home!"

----

After that, another ten days passed.

That morning, Liu Zhiye drove Gan Ning to Union Hospital.

"Comrade! Excuse me! Shall we go to the obstetrics and gynecology department?" Liu Zhiye stopped a young nurse and asked.

As soon as the young nurse took one look at the two of them, she understood why they were there.

"Comrades, please follow me, this way..." She greeted them briefly and led them through the corridor.

They came to the door of Director Ke Lin's office, and Liu Zhiye helped Gan Ning sit on the lounge chair outside. Then, he knocked on the door and walked in.

"Hello! Director Lin! I am Liu Zhiye. I contacted you a few days ago! Do you still remember me?" As soon as Liu Zhiye entered the room, he greeted Director Lin with a smile.

Director Lin smiled and responded, "Of course I remember. Comrade Xiao Liu, please sit down and talk."

Director Lin is almost sixty years old this year. She is a pioneer and one of the founders of obstetrics and gynecology in China, the former director of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Union Hospital, the first female academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the most beautiful fighter.

She is not only an excellent doctor, but also a kind-hearted doctor.

Director Lin once treated a pregnant woman who had been married for six years before she became pregnant, but was diagnosed with a cervical mass. The best solution at the time was to remove her uterus, but Lin Qiaozhi could not bear to see the patient's dream of becoming a mother shattered.

After repeated examinations and consultations with experts, she boldly inferred that this might be a special pregnancy reaction that would disappear on its own as the pregnancy progressed.

Director Lin resisted the pressure and decided not to remove the uterus for the time being, and only needed to check on time every week. Her speculation was proved by the fact that the pregnant woman gave birth to a 6-pound girl as she wished and named her "Nianlin".

But this outstanding woman never married or had children. She said, "My only companion is the phone next to my bed. I am a doctor on duty all my life." When facing patients, she often said, "Doctors treat real people... Treating patients is not like repairing machines. Doctors cannot be pure technical experts. They must go to the patients and do face-to-face work."

It was through the relationship between Liu Zhitai's future father-in-law, Vice President He, that Liu Zhiye got to know this great obstetrician and gynecologist in the medical field.

Director Lin smiled kindly and said, "Comrade Xiao Liu, have you brought your family members?"

"I have it, Director Lin! I brought it in for you to take a look." Liu Zhiye responded immediately.

When Liu Zhiye brought Gan Ning in, he greeted them warmly, "Xiao Ning, this is Director Lin. Ask her to help you take a good look at the situation. She is a famous expert in obstetrics and gynecology."

Gan Ning greeted Director Lin with a smile: "Director Lin, thank you for your help!"

Director Lin smiled and nodded, waving at her, "Gan Ning, come with me for a checkup first. Xiao Liu, you wait here for a while."

Afterwards, Director Lin led Gan Ning into the examination room. While waiting, Liu Zhiye couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Although he had been a father in his previous life, he was still full of expectations for the child who was about to be born.

After a while, Director Lin came back with Gan Ning and a nurse. Gan Ning was supported and walked, looking a little excited and nervous.

Seeing this, Liu Zhiye anxiously asked Director Lin: "Director Lin, how is Xiao Ning doing now?"

Director Lin smiled and said, "Don't worry, the situation is good. Comrade Xiao Gan and the fetus are all normal. It's just that the baby is about to be born, so we have to prepare in advance."

Liu Zhiye asked again: "What is your suggestion?"

Director Lin pondered for a moment and suggested, "If your situation allows, you should be hospitalized today to wait for delivery. It will only take a day or two, and the hospital is much more convenient than home. Don't be caught off guard when the time comes."
