1970s Spicy Mom: Marrying a Military Officer and Having Twins

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...

Chapter 163 Buying Gifts

After eating and drinking their fill, Shen Fenghua followed Qi Ye to the hospital. Coincidentally, the doctor who had briefly spoken with Qi Ye that day was there, so Qi Ye naturally approached her again. "Doctor, this is my wife. Could you please take a look at her?"

When the doctor looked up, he was first taken aback by Shen Fenghua's beautiful face. Goodness, this little girl's face is really pretty.

Seeing beautiful things always lifts one's spirits, let alone a pretty young woman. The doctor couldn't help but smile. "Let me take a look."

After briefly inquiring about Shen Fenghua's daily life, the doctor asked her to lift up her clothes. Through a thin sweater, the doctor touched Shen Fenghua's belly and said, "Not bad, everything is going well. You look radiant. You didn't suffer much during your pregnancy, did you?"

"I didn't suffer much," Shen Fenghua said. During her pregnancy, apart from swollen hands and feet and morning sickness at the beginning, she didn't experience any discomfort.

"That's good. If things continue like this, you shouldn't have any major problems if you have a natural birth."

As Shen Fenghua was pondering, Qi Ye, standing beside her, asked in a deep voice, "Is there any danger in natural childbirth?"

"Whether it's a vaginal delivery or a cesarean section, there are certain risks involved."

"But this is our first child. I've heard that childbirth is difficult enough, let alone twins. Wouldn't that be even more dangerous?"

Looking at Shen Fenghua's age on the form, the doctor said in a deep voice, "Most of those who die in childbirth are too young to have children and become mothers. Their bodies haven't fully developed before they come to give birth. Isn't that like gambling with the King of Hell? I see that your wife is in good health and is old enough. Once she's fully developed, the delivery won't be so difficult."

It's not that difficult.

That means there are still some difficulties.

"Let's have a C-section," Qi Ye said in a deep voice. "I only care about safety. I don't care about anything else. I don't need the money. I just want my mother and child to be safe."

The doctor was stunned by Qi Ye's words; she hadn't expected it.

Logically speaking, given that things have come to this point, many families would choose to have a natural birth. Firstly, this is a tradition passed down for thousands of years, and secondly, many people are afraid of the unknown possibility of a cesarean section and dare not try it.

I never expected this...

"Okay, then I'll make a prediction for you. Since you're having a C-section, come over early. Maybe you can even pick a good day yourself."

Good days don't matter; when the time is right, the child will be born.

Shen Fenghua pondered, "How about we come over after the New Year?"

"Well, I still recommend coming here for a C-section. After all, it's a big city. It's not that we're arrogant, but our technology is superior."

"Of course, of course."

After thanking the doctor, the young couple left empty-handed, having not spent a single penny on the consultation fee. In the end, Shen Fenghua still felt a little guilty and stuffed the two tea eggs she had in her pocket into the doctor's hands.

That's why they ran out in a panic.

What to do?

Qi Ye looked around and, upon hearing Shen Fenghua's question, casually replied, "What do we do?"

"Oh dear, we were planning to go back tomorrow, but it's all done so quickly now. Should we go back now, or..."

"Why go back?" Qi Ye finally decided where to go, put his arm around Shen Fenghua's shoulder and walked forward. "It's a pity to leave without looking around after finally getting out here."

Qi Ye himself has been out and about quite a bit, but Shen Fenghua rarely has the opportunity to come out.

These days, if you're just visiting someone's home or staying at a guesthouse, you won't get a place to stay without a letter of introduction. If you don't have a place to stay by nightfall, you're likely to be arrested as a vagrant.

Moreover, these letters of introduction aren't issued on a whim; there must be a legitimate reason. Otherwise, if letters of introduction were issued arbitrarily, wouldn't that create chaos?

"I'll show you around here. Remember, if you get tired, just let me know in advance. We'll go back and rest after one round, and we can go around again tomorrow."

Shen Fenghua was happy, but then she remembered the old and young at home, "What about my maternal grandmother and the two children?"

"It's alright," Qi Ye said calmly. He had already arranged everything when he came out. "I brought back a military dog ​​from the military compound. I'll use it for my business trip. If there's any noise tonight, it'll be perfectly safe."

Shen Fenghua breathed a sigh of relief, "Alright, let's go out and have some fun, explore this area, and then I'll take Grandma around again next time she comes."

The two walked together affectionately, very close to each other, attracting a lot of attention along the way.

After all, this is about the differences between men and women. Although free love is encouraged, self-respect and self-love are even more important. People generally disapprove of men and women pulling and tugging at each other in the street.

But when he turned his head and saw Shen Fenghua's belly: "..."

Oh, well, with such a big belly, she should be helped up carefully.

The supply and marketing cooperative here is much more impressive than the one back home; it's called a department store.

Looking at the three-story building, Shen Fenghua could hardly contain her excitement. "I want to go and see it."

Qi Ye patted his pockets to make sure he had enough money and tickets for the trip, then nodded with a nonchalant expression, "Buy them all. I'm not looking for the most economical option today, I just want you to be happy, okay?"

Shen Fenghua's eyes shone brightly, as if stars were shining within them. She looked at Qi Ye, feeling dizzy, and said, "You're so kind."

"Yes, I'm fine, and you're fine too. Let's go in and take a look."

Although that's what she said, Shen Fenghua still restrained herself a bit when buying things. It wasn't that she was afraid of anything else, but mainly because she didn't have enough hands to carry them after buying them.

First, buy a dictionary for each of the two children. Of course, Shen Fenghua didn't show any favoritism in this regard, so she also bought one for He Dongdong. Then there were hard-cover notebooks, black, elegant and understated. Shen Fenghua took six of them at once, three for each child.

Then there's the silk scarf I prepared for my grandmother. She's getting old and gets cold easily. In winter, if her neck is bare, she always feels the cold wind seeping in.

She picked up a scarf, including the silk scarf used in spring and autumn, and Shen Fenghua didn't miss it either.

Looking at the elegant silk scarf with green leaves and white flowers, Shen Fenghua could almost see her grandmother wearing it around her neck.

She didn't know why, but she felt that her maternal grandmother was different from ordinary old women in the countryside.

The main difference is in temperament.

Of course, you shouldn't forget the man who's always by your side.

She brought gifts for everyone, and Shen Fenghua was as busy as a butterfly.

She walked gracefully through the department store with her big pregnant belly, leaving the sales clerks stunned. Goodness, this was the first time they had ever seen a pregnant woman like this; she was truly unique.
