“It’s nothing, I just saw someone planning to harm my family, and I thought I could give them a heads-up by calling later.” Gu Jia Ning said simply.
“Okay.” Because it involved Gu Jia Ning’s secret, Sheng Ze Xi didn’t ask any more questions.
After breakfast, the couple went to the Communications Office and quickly called the Huaihua Village Committee’s telephone.
-
In Huaihua Village, Yang Manman, pregnant, was seeing off her husband, Gu Yunting, who was going to work.
Now, Yang Manman was already 5 months pregnant.
“You go in, I’m going to work.” Gu Yunting waved his hand and then rode his bicycle towards the county town.
Only after seeing her husband disappear from sight did Yang Manman turn around and go back to the house. Unexpectedly, at this moment, she saw Father Gu rushing over.
“Eldest Daughter-in-law, tell your mother and the rest of the family, Ningning called, quickly come to the Village Committee to answer the telephone.”
Her younger sister-in-law called?!
Yang Manman’s face lit up, “Okay, I’ll go tell them now.”
Not long after, the Gu family, except for Gu Yunting who had already gone to work, Yao Chunhua who was doing housework at home, Su Miao who was with the children, and Gu Yunnan and Gu Yunzhou brothers who had already gone to work, all arrived at the Village Committee.
Huaihua Village only had this one telephone, and every time Gu Jia Ning called, everyone in the Gu family, as long as they were at home, would come to listen.
The first to answer the telephone was naturally Yao Chunhua, the head of the household.
As soon as Yao Chunhua answered her daughter’s call, her eyes turned red. Her daughter had been gone to the Northwest Military Region for almost half a year, and she missed her.
As soon as she picked up the phone, she immediately asked with concern if Gu Jia Ning had enough to eat and wear warm clothes, how she was doing in the Northwest Military Region, whether she was being bullied, and whether Sheng Ze Xi was treating her well…
Every word was a mother’s concern for her married daughter.
“Mother, don’t worry, I’m fine, Xi Ge is also very good to me.”
“I’m fine, really, I have enough to eat and wear warm clothes. You and Father, and my older brothers and sisters-in-law, must also take care of yourselves.”
“We will, we will, we are all fine.”
“Mother, I’m calling to tell you some good news.”
“What good news?”
“Mother, I’m pregnant, it’s been three months, it’s twins, you and Father are going to be grandparents, and my older brothers and sisters-in-law are going to be uncles and aunts.”
“What! You’re pregnant, and it’s twins!” The shocked Yao Chunhua didn’t control her voice, and her voice suddenly rose, and the other Gu family members nearby heard it.
After a moment of stunned silence, there was ecstatic joy.
Ningning/Younger Sister is pregnant, and it’s twins, that’s wonderful!
Yao Chunhua was overjoyed and wept, “That’s great, that’s great.”
Her voice was slightly choked. When she let Gu Jia Ning marry Sheng Ze Xi, Yao Chunhua was nine-tenths satisfied. The only one-tenth she wasn’t satisfied with was Sheng Ze Xi’s infertility.
When he proposed marriage, Sheng Ze Xi had said so.
Later, Ningning said she had a way to cure Sheng Ze Xi’s condition, and Yao Chunhua, seeing that Sheng Ze Xi was indeed a good man, agreed to let her daughter marry him.
After their marriage, Yao Chunhua’s greatest hope was that Ningning could quickly cure Sheng Ze Xi’s condition and conceive a child.
Even if Yao Chunhua’s thoughts were more open, in this era, she still knew that if her daughter married Sheng Ze Xi and wanted to live a better life, having a child, whether a boy or a girl, would be more secure than having no children. Of course, if it were a boy, or if they could have more than one child, that would be even better.
She had been hoping, but she didn’t dare to ask.
Unexpectedly, Ningning suddenly told her this good news, the baby was already three months old.
Yao Chunhua didn’t blame Gu Jia Ning for only telling her after three months, because she knew that a woman’s pregnancy in the first three months isn’t stable, so it’s better to wait until it's stable before telling others.
Twins are also good, two children at once, but…
“Ningning, having twins at once, you must be very tired.” As a mother, she had also been pregnant, and she knew the hardships of pregnancy. Moreover, Ningning had two babies in her belly, and Ningning was also delicate.
“Ningning, should I go to the Northwest Military Region to take care of you?” Yao Chunhua asked.
The more she thought about it, the more it made sense.
Anyway, Ningning’s mother-in-law had passed away, so she couldn’t ask Sheng Ze Xi’s grandmother to take care of her, could she? The elderly woman is also old.
It would be more appropriate for her, as her mother, to take care of her.
“Mother, no need for now, I’m still in good shape, I don’t need special care. If you want to come, come when I’m about to give birth. By then, you’ll probably have finished helping Sister-in-law with her confinement.”
After Gu Jia Ning said this, Yao Chunhua realized.
That’s right, the eldest daughter-in-law is pregnant, when she gives birth, she, as the mother-in-law, will also have to serve her confinement.
Yao Chunhua calculated the time, the eldest daughter-in-law is now 5 months pregnant, and there are still 5 months until she gives birth. Ningning is now 3 months pregnant, which will be about 8 months by then. After she finishes taking care of Manman’s confinement, Ningning will be 9 months pregnant. Generally, twins are born early, so Ningning will also be about to give birth by then. It’s okay to go then, she can just take care of Ningning's confinement, but the timing is a bit tight.
But that’s the only way.
Although Yao Chunhua wanted to go and take care of her daughter earlier, she couldn’t forget about the eldest daughter-in-law. After all, Manman is also carrying on the Gu family line.
“Okay, let’s settle it this way.”
“By the way, have you called to tell Xi Ge’s grandparents the good news?” Yao Chunhua asked again.
“I’ll call them later.”
“Okay.”
Afterward, Father Gu and the other Gu family members also came forward to chat for a while. Gu Jia Ning also mentioned that she became a doctor at the Military Region Hospital, and her family was very happy for her. Afterward, Gu Jia Ning didn’t forget another important matter.
Finally, Gu Yunzhou answered the phone. She asked, “Third Brother, do you know the situation of Wen Zhuqing and Bao Shan Yan couple?”
As soon as Gu Yunzhou heard his younger sister’s words, his expression immediately became strange.
“Younger Sister, why are you asking about this? You’re already married to your brother-in-law and pregnant, you wouldn’t still be thinking about that Good Cop Wen Zhuqing, would you? Is your brother-in-law not by your side right now?”
Although it was his beloved younger sister on the other end of the phone, Gu Yunzhou felt that some immoral things shouldn’t be done.
Gu Jia Ning was amused, and looking at Sheng Ze Xi beside her, the three words Wen Zhuqing were like a warning, as soon as she heard them, they immediately touched his nerves, causing him to look up at her with a resentful look in his eyes.
Sheng Ze Xi naturally believed Gu Jia Ning, he could feel her growing love for him.
But Wen Zhuqing, he was Ningning’s first love, wasn’t he? He seemed to have heard that most people have a different feeling for their first love, which means first love is special?
What is Ningning trying to do by mentioning Wen Zhuqing now?
Gu Jia Ning understood the meaning in Sheng Ze Xi’s eyes, gritting her teeth, if she wasn’t on the phone right now, she would have grabbed his shoulders and shook him, saying I mentioned Wen Zhuqing and Bao Shan Yan, why are you only focusing on Wen Zhuqing and forgetting Bao Shan Yan?
