Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 595: Can you tell the gender of the fetus by taking the pulse? The whole street helps with the admission ceremony

At 11 o'clock in the morning, my younger brother Fang Chen came to Union Hospital to find Fang Yan and reported to him the situation at his doorstep.

"The school staff even used a truck to come over and set up a stage. It looked like a big show was going to be held in front of our house."

"Today, Director Feng brought people from the street office to help, and some neighbors on the street also came. There were several banners hung on the street. I felt it was more lively than the day you and your sister-in-law got married."

Listening to his younger brother's words, Meng Jimin, who was also admitted to the Capital Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, asked with envy and curiosity:
"Don't you have any pigeons and balloons ready to be released?"

The younger brother responded:
"That's not true..."

"But I got a lot of fake flowers and filled the streets with them."

Meng Jimin felt it was awesome just thinking about it, he exclaimed:

"Good fellow! Lao Fang, your ceremony of handing out admission letters to the top scorer is really different."

"I don't know who will be invited to the scene to give you the notice yet?"

Then he said:

"After dinner, I will definitely go and join in the fun!"

Fang Yan heard what Meng Jimin said and said to him:
"Didn't I tell you a long time ago? The school just wants to use this opportunity to promote the school itself and Chinese medicine. Don't make such a fuss. Everyone knows it's just a formality. I'm just there to serve as a tool today."

This was the first time Meng Jimin heard the term "tool man".

After a moment of hesitation, he finally reacted.

Fang Yan then said to him:
"Also, didn't you get the notice as well? You ranked fifth in the school in terms of admission score. You were invited to visit the school, and then a ceremony was held on site to present the admission letter in front of the media and leaders of the Ministry of Health."

Meng Jimin shook his head and said:

"How can it be the same as yours? You came here alone, and I came a few days later, with a dozen other people."

Fangyan heard him say this and said:

"If you're really envious, come up with me later."

"As long as you keep quiet, others will definitely not chase you down."

Meng Jimin smiled and said:

"Hey, that's not impossible. As long as the school leaders don't let me get out, I will shamelessly stand behind you, and then they can take pictures of me."

After that, he also started to imagine:
"Many years later, you will be able to see my image in the memoirs, and I will be able to brag to my sons and grandsons that I interviewed you first, the No. 1, and then I interviewed me, the No. 2."

At this time, my younger brother Fang Chen reminded:
"Brother Meng, I remember you gave birth to two girls, you still have to work hard to give birth to a son."

Meng Jimin was embarrassed and said:

"Go away, stop bringing up irrelevant issues here."

"I will give birth to a son sooner or later."

Although Meng Jimin's wife is very strong, it still can't stop Meng Jimin from wanting his wife to give him a son.

But now the couple are both in their 30s, so if they want to have a child, they have to hurry up.

But now Fangyan also knows the situation of their family. His wife has been putting it off, saying that she doesn't have time. Meng Jimin is also a little distressed about this.

We were chatting happily just now, but as soon as this happened, we became completely depressed, like an eggplant hit by frost.

Fang Yan comforted him:

"It's okay, just take your time. Look at Mr. Hu and his wife, they are already in their 40s, and they still haven't given up."

At this point, Meng Jimin asked in dialect:

"Hey, do you think they can get pregnant in this situation?"

Fang Yan took out the records of Hu Daohu and his wife from the drawer, looked at them, and then said to Meng Jimin:
"From the current perspective, the chances of pregnancy are still very high. Maybe there will be good news after the Spring Festival."

Meng Jimin nodded thoughtfully when he heard this, and then slapped his thigh again:
"Well, even if she's pregnant, it doesn't necessarily mean it's a boy. There's a chance it could be a girl..."

The younger brother at the side said to Meng Jimin:
"Brother Meng, you are biased towards boys over girls. This is unacceptable!"

Meng Jimin turned around and said to his younger brother with a serious face:
"You haven't gotten married yet, what do you know? Let me tell you, rich families like theirs are more likely to have a son inherit the family property. If they have a daughter, they can only find a son-in-law, and in the end the family property will still be passed on to outsiders."

"Look at the Zhou family. They love their daughter, don't they?"

"But they still have two sons at home."

"So, as long as there is something left in the family to pass on, I have to give birth to a son no matter what."

"You are still young and your perception is not deep enough. When you reach my age, get married and have two children, both of whom are girls, you will understand the importance of family inheritance."

"Really?" The younger brother frowned and looked at Meng Jimin with some disbelief.

Meng Jimin said to Fang Chen:

"Just think about it. If you continue to develop as you are now, you will definitely become an excellent and famous writer in the future. With a few or a dozen famous books in your hands, you will earn a lot of publishing fees every year. This money will snowball as you write more books."

"But after you get married, all the children you give birth to are girls. When your girls grow up to be in their twenties, about your age, they get together with a young man, and then they get married. Then you will find that there is no one at home. You don't know who to give your money to. What should you do?"

"Stop!" Fang Yan called out to the obsessed Old Meng to stop. This guy was obviously obsessed with the idea of ​​having a son, and now he started to output his thoughts to poison Fang Chen.

The younger brother said to Meng Jimin:
"Brother Meng, the way you spoke just now was really creepy..."

Meng Jimin waved his hand and smiled:
"Hey, this is just the beginning. I haven't told you the scarier things yet..."

"Anyway, when you are in your 30s, my age, you will understand why the ancients said that having many children means more blessings..."

After that, he turned to Fangyan and asked:
"By the way, Lao Fang, this is your wife's first baby. With your pulse-taking skills, can you tell the gender of the baby now?"

"Yes, twins, a boy and a girl." Fangyan said casually.

In traditional Chinese medicine, there is indeed a saying about judging the sex of the fetus by the pulse, such as "boy is yang, girl is yin; left is yang, right is yin. During pregnancy, a slippery and rapid left pulse is a boy, and a slippery and rapid right pulse is a girl." It is believed that the subtle difference in the left and right pulses of a pregnant woman can reflect the sex of the fetus.

After hearing this, Meng Jimin almost jumped up and asked excitedly to Fang Yan:

"Oh my god, Brother Fang, twins, boy and girl? Can you really encounter such a thing?"

"A man and a woman make a good word!" "Brother Fang, you are awesome! It's you who are in trouble! Otherwise, everyone would say you are the reincarnation of a lucky star! No one can compare to your luck!"

After saying that, he started to touch Fangyan:

"Oh, come and give me some good luck! I will give birth to a son in the future."

Fang Yan slapped his salty hands away and said unhappily:

"Of course it's fake. You're crazy about wanting to have a son."

Meng Jimin was startled, then said:

"Oh, you... made me so happy for nothing."

Then he muttered again:
"But you are really young, so there is really no need to worry about this now. Even if the first one gives birth to a daughter, the second one will give birth to a son. You two are both young, so you still have plenty of time to have children."

Fangyan rolled his eyes and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

In Meng Jimin's situation, either his wife gives birth to a son for him, or he has to figure it out on his own.

Anyway, no matter how others try to persuade him, it will be useless.

The situation of favoring boys over girls is actually still very common in this era. Sometimes it is not just Meng Jimin's problem, but also the people around him.

Fangyan didn't believe that Meng Jimin was so crazy without any pressure from his family members.

It was soon lunch time. The younger brother went to the kindergarten to pick up Zhengyi and Mingzhu, while Fangyan went to pick up his wife Zhu Lin.

As soon as the couple walked to the entrance of Union Hospital, they saw the situation on the street across from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

It was just as my little brother said. Director Feng on the street arranged people to clean up all the snow and ice that had accumulated in the morning. Even the icicles under the eaves were knocked down.

Then there were several banners hanging on the street, all of which read:
“Warmly congratulate Fang Yan, the top scorer in the college entrance examination, for being admitted to Capital University of Chinese Medicine!”

About a meter or two away, there was a bunch of fake flowers on the ground.

Two trucks were parked in front of the gate of Fang Yan's courtyard. The fences on the truck beds were removed, and ladders were put up and a red carpet was laid, turning it into a stage.

What’s even more exaggerated is that there is also a banner hanging on the car, which also says:
“Warmly congratulate Fang Yan, the top scorer in the college entrance examination, for being admitted to Capital University of Chinese Medicine!”

There were still people at the scene pulling electrical wires from the street office to connect microphones and loudspeakers. The ceremony would be held after lunch, and they were now making the final arrangements.

Zhu Lin said to Fang Yan in surprise:

"The whole street has been decorated. Isn't this too grand?"

Fang Yan looked at the exaggerated scene in front of him, nodded in agreement and said:

"I now suspect that they will give me a pure gold acceptance letter later. Otherwise, I would feel it would be a shame for them to make such a fuss."

Then Fangyan walked over with his wife, and people on the street greeted them when they saw them:

"Comrade Dialect."

"Doctor Fang!"

"Doctor Fang."

"The Number One Scholar!"

There were all kinds of names for people, and the neighbors, both adults and children, seemed happier than hearing the dialect.

Show him a smiling face.

Most of the people here helped to set up the scene today and followed Director Feng's instructions to clean the entire street.

Keep this place clean.

The purpose is to make it easier to be photographed during the promotion later.

Before today, everyone in Beijing only knew that there was a top scorer in the liberal arts college entrance examination named Fangyan who had scored full marks.

After today, everyone knows that the dialect originated from this Ministry of Foreign Affairs Street.

And the neighbors who live on the same street as the top scorer in the college entrance examination can also benefit from it.

Speaking of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Street where we live, there was a top scorer in the college entrance examination who got full marks there.

The newspaper has said that this is the only one in the country with full marks in five subjects.

And it has been published in today's magazines and newspapers. His answer was really beautiful.

So everyone greeted today's protagonist very enthusiastically, and some even acted happier than the dialect.

Today the school is promoting the dialect here, and it is also promoting this street and bringing glory to these neighbors.

This is what we call a sense of honor.

Watching dialects now is like watching your own well-behaved child.

Even the dialect secretly sighed, saying that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors.

Today's situation is all thanks to the help of these neighbors.

Look how clean this street is.

When Fangyan and his friends returned home, they found that many people had come to their house.

My father and father-in-law, who are already on winter vacation, are greeting us.

Professor Yuchuan, who had not been seen for a long time, also showed up, and he was surrounded by many school leaders and reporters from the People's Medical Publishing House.

As soon as Fangyan entered the door, someone greeted him:
"Look, our number one scholar is back!"

PS: The 6000-word basic chapter has been updated.

There will be more updates later.
