Three days passed in a flash, and before we knew it, it was time to go to the city to pick up Xiuxiu.

Lu Fangfang and Zhuang Mingcheng got up very early in the morning.

Besides picking up Xiuxiu today, I had other things to do, so I was very busy.

"Fangfang, I'm going to the troupe to get the car. You pack your things and I'll call you later."

"Okay, go ahead."

In the inner room, Lu Fangfang opened a drawer and took out the remittance slip sent to her by the Fine Arts Publishing House.

She carefully put the tickets in her pocket, then walked to the wardrobe and took out some more.

Xiuxiu is coming, and there will be one more person in the family, which means more food to eat, so she will have to buy more grain.

Having gathered all the necessary items, she put on her military overcoat and then her military green cotton hat.

"Little Flower, Little Yellow Dog, I'm going to the city today. You two stay home."

"Awoo~"

"Meow~"

"And that stubborn little donkey, don't steal food from the house."

"Oh...ah..."

Lu Fangfang patted the donkey's head and strode out of the yard.

Early in the morning, the residential compound was quiet, and there was no one outside.

She walked to the main road and waited for a while, then saw a military green jeep drive up.

"Fangfang, come up quickly."

"Didn't I tell you to wait at home? It's so cold outside."

Zhuang Mingcheng, sitting in the driver's seat, hurriedly waved to his wife.

Lu Fangfang looked on in surprise. She opened the passenger door and got in.

After the jeep started moving, she propped her head up and curiously looked at her husband.

"Fangfang, why are you looking at me like that?"

"I thought you would have driver Liu take us there, but I didn't expect you to drive here yourself."

Lu Fangfang discovered that her husband was quite skilled at driving.

She leaned back, sat on the car seat, and started kicking her hands.

Cars from that era didn't have heating, and the seals weren't good either. When the car was running on the road, the cold air would seep in, making it feel colder than outside.

Zhuang Mingcheng glanced at it, then took out an orange-red hot water bottle from his military overcoat.

"Here, hold this, it'll keep you warmer."

"When did you take it? I didn't even see it."

Lu Fangfang was quite surprised, and she quickly took it.

She put the hot water bottle in her arms and placed her hands on it, which made her feel a little better.

Beside him, Zhuang Mingcheng smiled and focused on driving again.

The dirt road was uneven, so he didn't drive fast. He only picked up speed when he reached the main road in the county town.

After turning the corner, he drove his jeep north into the city.

Lu Fangfang hugged the hot water bottle, feeling drowsy.

Her husband's driving skills were really good; he drove very steadily. She leaned back and closed her eyes.

When she woke up, she found that she had arrived in the city.

I glanced at my wrist; it was already nine o'clock, which was quite late.

"Mingcheng, let's go to the hospital quickly, and then we'll pick up Xiuxiu from the train station later."

Zhuang Mingcheng nodded, and drove his Jeep, quickly turning into the city hospital.

He helped his wife out of the car, and the two went into the obstetrics and gynecology department.

The female doctor in the obstetrics and gynecology department still remembered the young couple, Lu Fangfang and Zhuang Mingcheng.

Looking at Lu Fangfang's now large belly, she was very surprised, "Comrade, how come your belly is so big? It's not even five months yet, is it?"

"Doctor, my wife's belly has been getting bigger and bigger since she started showing, and people are starting to suspect that she is carrying twins. Could you please take a look?"

Zhuang Mingcheng stood beside his wife, looking quite nervous.

"Twins? Let me hear it."

The doctor put on the stethoscope, wanting to listen to the fetal heartbeat.

In those days, hospitals had no other instruments and relied entirely on this stethoscope.

Forehead……

"Doctor, it's cold now, this thing must be very cold, right? Should I warm it up for you?"

Looking at the metallic stethoscope, Zhuang Mingcheng was afraid it would chill his wife's stomach.

"Okay, then you cover it up and I'll let your partner hear it."

The doctor chuckled, glanced at Lu Fangfang, and teased, "Young lady, your husband is really good to you."

Lu Fangfang blushed slightly, feeling a little embarrassed.

After a while, the doctor picked up his stethoscope and listened attentively.

Zhuang Mingcheng stood to the side, holding his breath, not daring to even breathe loudly.

After a while, the doctor put down his stethoscope and asked Lu Fangfang about her again.

After answering, Lu Fangfang couldn't help but ask, "Doctor, am I having twins?"

Beside him, Zhuang Mingcheng also watched the doctor nervously.

"It's probably twins, young lady. Pregnant with twins is much harder and puts a greater strain on your body. You must get plenty of rest and take good care of yourself."

The doctor gave some instructions, then looked at Zhuang Mingcheng and said, "As her husband, you must take good care of your wife. When the due date arrives, you must come to the hospital. You absolutely cannot give birth at home."

In those days, many families gave birth at home, especially in the countryside, far from the county town. At most, they would call a midwife to stay by their side, but the risks were very high.

Zhuang Mingcheng nodded quickly.

Seeing how meticulous the doctor's instructions were, he felt a little heavy-hearted.

"But don't worry too much. I think this woman is in good physical condition. As long as she pays more attention, there won't be any problems."

Lu Fangfang breathed a slight sigh of relief.

She looked at the doctor and couldn't help but ask again, "Doctor, am I having twins, a boy and a girl? Or are we having a brother and a sister?"

The doctor was taken aback, then looked at her with a rather speechless expression.

Forehead……

"Doctor, we'll be going now. Thank you for your help."
