As expected—

For the next week, Feng Zhiyi lived a life where everything was done for her!

When she woke up in the morning, her devoted husband, Lu Lingxiao, helped her get dressed and put on her shoes. Even when they went out into the living room, he insisted on carrying her.

Feeling sleepy at noon and wanting to take a nap, he stayed in the room reading and keeping her company.

Just like now—

As soon as he saw that she was awake, the man who had been watching over her immediately put down his book and went to her, asking gently, "Wife, are you awake? Did you sleep well? Are you hungry?"

"Tell me what you'd like to eat, and I'll get it for you."

Feng Zhiyi was still a little sleepy. After catching her breath, she replied, "Just wash a bunch of grapes and warm a cup of milk."

If it weren't for the man insisting that the weather was still too cold and that drinking cold things was bad for the body and the fetus, plus the cooperation of Lu's mother and Grandma Feng, she would have actually wanted to drink cold milk directly.

She's not some pampered girl.

The body isn't really that delicate.

Unfortunately, my family wouldn't allow it, so I had no choice but to let them have their way.

"Then I'll carry you up and help you get dressed," Lu Lingxiao said, reaching out to pick her up.

Feng Zhiyi quickly waved her hand at him, not letting him carry her. "I can do it myself. You go out and wash the fruit first, then warm up the milk, and then drive to the factory to get me some documents. They're locked in the safe in my office."

"You know the password, I don't need to tell you again, right?"

"No need, I remember." Lu Lingxiao thought for a moment and then reminded her, "Then take your time, I'll go out and warm up some milk for you."

Feng Zhiyi gave a soft "hmm" and then picked up the sweater and started putting it on.

Lu Lingxiao glanced at her to make sure she was okay before striding out of the room.

Watching him leave, Feng Zhiyi also threw off the covers and got out of bed.

When she finished tidying up and came out of the living room, Lu Lingxiao had already washed the grapes and placed them on the coffee table, with a glass of pure milk next to them.

"Zhizhi, you're up."

"Yes, I just got up."

Feng Zhiyi looked at Lu's mother and grandmother and asked them with a smile, "Mom, Grandma, the sun is so strong today, didn't you go outside to soak up some sun?"

Shen Yaqin immediately smiled and said, "We went there. We heard from Ling Xiao that you were awake, so your grandma and I came in to see you."

"You've had a nap, are you hungry? Come over and drink your milk, then have some fruit."

Grandma Feng took her granddaughter's hand and led her towards the sofa, saying as they walked, "Your grandfather just called to say that your fourth brother and Alice's marriage is settled."

"The wedding date is set for May 21st, and it will be held in Country Y."

"real?"

Upon hearing that her fourth brother's marriage had been arranged, Feng Zhiyi's eyes crinkled with a smile. "That's wonderful! Fourth brother and Alice's relationship has finally come to fruition!"

"Both sets of parents approve of the marriage and are very optimistic about it. They believe that my fourth brother and sister-in-law will be happy for the rest of their lives!"

"Yes," Grandma Feng said with a smile, "At first we were worried that Lady Elsa and Duke Greenster would object and make things difficult for your fourth brother, but we didn't expect it to go so smoothly."

With her fourth grandson's marriage arranged and her granddaughter now pregnant, she and her husband can finally enjoy their retirement in peace!

She had previously worried that her granddaughter would regret not having a child of her own.

After all, what woman doesn't long to be a mother?

Although Zhizhi doesn't say anything usually, she definitely hopes to have a child of her own!

But then again, her grandson-in-law is really something! There were rumors that he had been seriously injured and lost his fertility, but he quietly gave everyone such a big surprise!

Multiple births at once!

How many people must be so envious of this?!

Feng Zhiyi was also somewhat surprised, not expecting things to go even more smoothly than she had anticipated.

But this is good, both sides are happy.

When Lin Dong saw Lu Lingxiao arrive at the factory, he instinctively gave Lu Lingxiao a military salute, "Greetings, Brigade Commander!"

Lu Lingxiao returned his salute and then asked him a question.

"How are you doing? Are you settling in well with work here?"

"I'm used to it, I'm used to it." Lin Dong nodded with a smile. "The brothers all like this job. The salary at the factory is high, the benefits are good, and they even provide room and board. It's much better than farming in the countryside."

"I heard your wife also works at the factory?"

He only found out about Lin Dong's wife working at the factory after Feng Zhiyi mentioned it before. Thinking that he had mentored Lin Dong for a year or two when he was in the army, he casually asked about it.

Lin Dong quickly replied, "Yes, I asked my sister-in-law before, and she said that my wife could come and give it a try, and if she passes, she can stay."

"Hey, I didn't expect her to be so capable; she passed the interview right away."

"She's learning to sew clothes at a garment factory now."

She was very quick and efficient, and her mentor really liked her.

They said she was hardworking, capable, and could endure hardship, and encouraged her to work hard so that she could earn a high salary every month.

In the factories that Feng Zhiyi runs, ordinary workers are paid on a piece-rate basis, in addition to a fixed base salary.

The more you do, the more you get.

Do less, get less.

A person who is quick-witted and hardworking can easily earn a high salary of 200 yuan a month.

In other words, if you are lazy and can't endure any hardship, then the monthly salary you receive will naturally be the lowest in the factory.

Lu Lingxiao patted his shoulder and said, "Tell everyone to do a good job. Even though you've all retired, you can't let the military down."

"Yes! Brigade Commander!"

Lin Dong responded firmly and resolutely.

Upon hearing this, Lu Lingxiao patted him on the shoulder again, and then walked into Feng Zhiyi's office.

He took the documents, locked the safe, and drove back to the military base.

The next day, after breakfast, Feng Zhiyi, accompanied by Lu Lingxiao, Lu's mother, Feng's grandmother, and the three children, went to the military hospital for a check-up.

Everyone stared intently at the ultrasound machine.

Looking at the little tadpole in Feng Zhiyi's belly, Lu's mother and Feng's grandmother were so nervous that they kept clenching and unclenching their hands until their palms started to sweat.

Just as everyone was tense and anxiously awaiting the answer, Director Hong finally finished examining Feng Zhiyi. She took out a tissue and asked Lu Lingxiao to wipe Feng Zhiyi's abdomen.

After Lu Lingxiao helped Feng Zhiyi stand up, she smiled and announced the answer.

Congratulations! It's been confirmed that it's a multiple pregnancy, and—it's triplets!

"What?"

Triplets?

"Huh? Director Hong, you mean... you mean my wife is pregnant with triplets?"

The group of people were stunned, completely taken aback by the good news announced by Director Hong.
