At twenty-three years old, Shen Fenghua was plagued by infertility, making her marriage unstable. She had thought she could live her whole life alone, but the organization, hoping to give her a sta...
"Grandma."
Qi Ye returned and looked at Shen Fenghua sleeping in the courtyard. Qi Ye frowned and looked at her belly. "Grandma, don't you think Fenghua's belly is a bit too big?"
Shen Fenghua is almost four months pregnant now. Logically, at four months, even if she were showing, her pregnancy shouldn't be very noticeable, but Shen Fenghua…
Perhaps it's because I'm too thin; my slender limbs paired with my noticeably protruding belly make me look like I'm almost five months pregnant, not less than four months.
Upon hearing Qi Ye's words, Grandma frowned. As a woman in the village, she had seen far more than just one or two pregnant women; there were dozens, even hundreds.
There was something clearly wrong with her daughter's stomach.
"It's a bit too big. Why don't we take her to see it? Otherwise, I'll keep having this on my mind and won't feel at ease doing anything."
So, the two of them dug Shen Fenghua, who was still half asleep, out of the rattan chair, dressed her properly, and sped to the hospital.
She arrived at the hospital, but her mind was still at home. Shen Fenghua asked somewhat bewilderedly, "It's not a holiday, and I don't feel unwell, so why did I come to the hospital?"
Qi Ye didn't want Shen Fenghua to worry too much, so he sincerely said, "I think you're sleeping a bit too much right now. Let the doctor check if it's normal."
Shen Fenghua: "..."
You're the abnormal one, your whole family is abnormal.
She's pregnant.
It's perfectly normal for a pregnant woman to be able to sleep, isn't it? Besides, she's eating even more than before, let alone sleeping.
I used to eat three meals a day.
Shen Fenghua now eats five meals a day plus afternoon tea.
Even so, her mouth was never idle. She always had snacks in her pocket, like peanuts, red dates, or melon seeds. She ate whatever was available.
Shen Fenghua got angry. She pouted and glanced at Qi Ye with some displeasure, muttering, "She complains that I sleep too much. I wonder who it is that sleeps like a log in the middle of the night."
Qi Ye smiled helplessly. Well, this means they've made a mental note of me.
“It’s my fault, and I didn’t mean to look down on you. It’s just that you’re pregnant now, so bringing you here to see us makes us feel more at ease.”
Listening to Qi Ye's patient explanation, and with his voice giving Shen Fenghua a sense of security, she suddenly became less anxious, watching her grandmother craning her neck to see how many people were ahead.
Shen Fenghua chuckled and leaned closer, secretly taking his hand. "Okay, okay, I know you're doing this for my own good."
"Hmm, don't be angry, are you tired?"
Shen Fenghua shook her head. "I'm not tired. I just took a nap at home. They woke me up a bit suddenly, which is why I'm a little grumpy now."
Looking at his adorable wife, Qi Ye was speechless. Moreover, he wasn't angry at all in the first place; he just found her even more adorable as he watched her eyes darting around.
"It's okay, you're awake now. You can be angry with me, but we can't be angry with the doctor."
"I still know my limits."
Shen Fenghua chuckled, revealing two sharp little tiger teeth on his lips. "You know me too, I'm good for nothing, but I'm number one at home."
Qi Ye: "..."
He chuckled.
The wait was quick. The doctor ordered tests, including blood tests, and everything came back normal.
Qi Ye felt much relieved, but when he passed by the TCM department, he couldn't resist and turned around to take Shen Fenghua to the old TCM doctor.
"Doctor, could you please take a look at my boyfriend's health?"
The old Chinese medicine doctor, wearing glasses, calmly placed his pulse pillow on the table and tapped it. "Put your hand on it."
Although Shen Fenghua didn't understand why Qi Ye was acting strangely, she obediently did as she was told.
Five seconds later, the old Chinese medicine doctor looked up, glanced at Shen Fenghua, and then at her stomach.
Shen Fenghua: "..."
For some reason, she, who is usually quite bold, was somewhat frightened by this glance.
"Almost four months?"
"right."
"You're usually very sleepy, and your appetite has increased quite a bit, hasn't it? Your temper is unpredictable, and you're easily irritable and angry? I'm absolutely right."
Shen Fenghua: "..."
Although I don't want to admit it, every word I said was true.
"Yes."
"It's nothing serious, just a bit weak. Eat and drink as usual, eat more nutritious food, but don't stay sedentary all the time, walking and exercising are essential."
Still want to eat?
Qi Ye was dumbfounded. "Isn't this belly a little too big?"
The old Chinese medicine doctor glanced at Qi Ye and calmly said, "Two children are definitely older than one child. Isn't that common sense?"
The whole family: "???"
"What the hell?" Before anyone else could react, Shen Fenghua, the person directly involved, exploded. She was so excited that she was almost incoherent. "Twins? How is that possible?"
"Why not?"
The old Chinese medicine doctor lived up to his reputation; he was knowledgeable and experienced. With just a few words, he calmed Shen Fenghua down and also completely convinced the two people behind him.
"Everyone can get pregnant. Chickens can lay double-yolk eggs, so why can't humans have twins?"
Everyone: "..."
Ah, that does seem to make sense.
The family walked out in a daze.
Shen Fenghua still felt that this world was a bit magical.
“Wait a minute,” Shen Fenghua stopped in her tracks, “This still doesn’t make sense. Even if someone else is pregnant with twins, it shouldn’t be me.”
Qi Ye thought the old Chinese medicine doctor made sense, "But chickens can lay double-yolk eggs, so why can't people have twins?"
Shen Fenghua: "..."
She didn't hold back with Qi Ye, raising her hand and slapping him on the shoulder. "How can that be the same?"
"Then how is it different?"
Qi Ye's mind went blank for a moment. He never expected his wife to be so capable, giving birth to a double-yolk egg, or rather, twins.
He felt he was lucky he hadn't gone crazy with joy on the spot. Now, he wanted to think rationally about why his wife was pregnant with twins.
Oh, that's impossible.
Shen Fenghua: "..."
Looking at Qi Ye's silly appearance, she said with some disdain, "Come on, twins are already hard to come by, not to mention I've damaged my health and vitality before, so getting pregnant is a long shot."
"Didn't you get pregnant later?"
Qi Ye countered with a question, and Shen Fenghua fell silent, seemingly agreeing.
"So, let's not worry about the kids anymore. Once they're here, they're all our precious children."
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Grandma wiped away her tears; she wished she could sprout wings and fly back to offer incense to her ancestors.
This is fantastic news!
A double-yolk egg!
Oh no, they're twins.
