"Zhilan, you're eight months along now; have you gone for a check-up at the hospital?" The commissar's wife knows a bit more about these things than He Zhilan, being someone who has been through it herself. "Eight months is long enough, you should start preparing for a lot of things now, like which hospital you'll give birth in. As someone who's gone through it, don't mind me nagging. I suggest you give birth at a hospital. Hospitals have better equipment and doctors, and it's definitely safer than giving birth at home in the countryside."
"Of course I'll give birth at a hospital." He Zhilan didn't even need to think about it; she would never give birth at home. There's no doctor, not to mention the lack of facilities. Newborn babies are particularly fragile; any carelessness can lead to bacterial infections and illness. Moreover, giving birth at a hospital benefits the mother as well, providing more comprehensive assistance during delivery.
