Bai Yajing has been living in the military family compound recently. Apart from taking walks outside the compound every day, she spends the rest of her time in the compound reading books and doing whatever she can.

On the contrary, the three elderly people, in order to build good relationships with her in the residential compound, would go out for walks every day except to take care of her granddaughter, and became close friends with the elderly people in the compound.

Letting them stay here didn't affect Bai Yajing's reputation.

Bai Yajing has recently prepared all the thick cotton-padded clothes for her family. The elders in her family tried them on and they all fit perfectly, making everyone very happy.

The Xiao family of three, in particular, acted childishly for once, wearing the clothes and showing them off everywhere, saying that the new bride had made new clothes for the three elders.

Suddenly, everyone in the family compound was praising Bai Yajing.

Xiao Che also lived in the military region's family compound, but in order to lure the enemy out, he would occasionally go back to the Ministry of State Security's family compound when he worked overtime late.

Bai Yajing experienced no morning sickness or loss of appetite during her first pregnancy, likely because she was in good health and Xiao Che was also in good physical condition, resulting in a very high-quality pregnancy.

With the meticulous care of her mother and grandmother, she had a very comfortable pregnancy.

Grandpa Bai, her maternal grandfather, and Grandpa Xiao also went out of their way to find food for her to nourish her body. She is now five months pregnant, and instead of losing weight, she has gained weight. Her complexion is rosy and she is full of energy.

However, Xiao Che was still somewhat worried when he saw that her belly was quite large.

Just then, Xiao's mother made chicken soup and asked her to eat it in the living room, which made him even more anxious.

Since learning that Bai Yajing was pregnant, he had looked for many books on this topic and even went to the military hospital to ask the doctors how to take care of pregnant women and what precautions to take.

"Ya Jing, your belly is bigger than other pregnant women of similar stages. Why don't you stop taking those supplements? I'm worried that if the baby is too big, you'll suffer during childbirth!"

"After you give birth, we can have some proper nourishment, okay?"

He had read the book; if the fetus is too big, the child is prone to difficult labor, and the mother will not only suffer during childbirth but also be more likely to encounter problems!

Bai Yajing felt a warmth in her heart when she saw his worried expression. Few men would notice these things. He had been busy with work lately and had even been reading books to figure out how to take good care of her. She couldn't help but be touched.

She reached out, pulled his hand over, and placed it on her stomach, smiling happily.

"You forgot? Grandma and I are professional doctors. We know what we should pay attention to. We only take supplements when needed, and we know how to do it properly."

Don't worry, my belly is bigger than other pregnant women's because I'm carrying more than one baby—I'm having twins. The nutritional needs are doubled. If we don't ensure adequate nutrition, my body will be deficient, which is actually bad for me.

There's nothing that can be done about it. Pregnant with twins is more difficult than with a singleton, as both require double the nutrition, putting a greater burden on the mother's body.

The elders in the family all knew this, which is why they went out of their way to find food for her.

These days, resources are scarce, and it's hard to buy good things even if you have money. In order to get her nutritious food, the elders have been pulling strings everywhere.

Xiao Che stared blankly at her stomach with his mouth agape, then gently touched it with trembling hands.

"Yes, you have two babies? Ya Jing, I, I have two babies?"

The way he said that made anyone who didn't know better think he was pregnant with twins! Coupled with his dazed expression, it made Bai Yajing laugh so hard she was bent over.

Startled, Xiao Che quickly supported her, afraid she would fall.

"Wife, why didn't you tell me?" He approached Bai Yajing with a pitiful expression, massaging her aching back as he did so.

Bai Yajing felt like teasing him.

He shrugged and said, "Well, there's nothing I can do about it. You're not around, so I can only send a telegram after you've almost finished your mission."

I was afraid of delaying your plans.
