Bai Jiaojiao tried to kick Shen Heng away, but Shen Heng grabbed her ankle. Bai Jiaojiao couldn't see inside the blanket, but she felt Shen Heng kiss her soft thigh.

"Heng-ge, stop messing around, I have to go out tomorrow."

Bai Jiaojiao reached in and pushed Shen Heng's shoulder. Shen Heng asked seriously, "Can I turn on the lamp to take a look?"

Bai Jiaojiao's voice went hoarse, and her neck and head flushed bright red in an instant: "No way!"

"What's wrong with letting me see? I'm your man, and I'm the most qualified person in the whole world to see."

Shen Heng was still trying to reason with Bai Jiaojiao. Bai Jiaojiao was both ashamed and angry. She wanted to kick him off the kang (a heated brick bed), but Shen Heng was too big. He remained kneeling steadily on the kang. The force of the impact almost made her head hit the wall, but Shen Heng didn't budge.

"Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao," Shen Heng grabbed Bai Jiaojiao's leg and pulled her into the quilt, "Brother Heng really likes you."

Shen Heng's kisses fell like raindrops, scattered and chaotic, making Bai Jiaojiao's consciousness somewhat confused.

Bai Jiaojiao didn't remember how she fell asleep in a daze yesterday. When she woke up in the morning, she found that Shen Heng's face was pressed against her lower abdomen, and he was fast asleep with his arms around her waist.

Bai Jiaojiao's eyes softened, and she reached out to pat Shen Heng's head.

His hair was very stiff and prickly, and Bai Jiaojiao had to stroke it a couple of times before it finally fell to one side.

It was rare for Shen Heng to sleep in, so Bai Jiaojiao played with his hair and found that he was quite well-behaved when he was asleep.

Shen Heng slept in Bai Jiaojiao's warm and soft embrace. He dreamed that the dough for steamed buns at home had risen too much and filled the entire kang (a heated brick bed). He lay on it and tried to eat, but no matter how he opened his mouth, he couldn't get any food.

Shen Heng took a deep breath, woke up, and before he could fully regain his senses, he found himself lying in his wife's bed.

Bai Jiaojiao looked down at Shen Heng with deep affection in her eyes. Shen Heng, still a little groggy from just waking up, climbed up to her and nuzzled her head against Bai Jiaojiao's: "Can you not go to town with your sister? I want you, Jiaojiao."

"You're acting like a child."

Bai Jiaojiao was both amused and exasperated. She pushed Shen Heng's head onto the pillow and said, "Can you come back tonight? I'll do whatever you say tonight."

"You'll listen to me?"

Shen Heng's eyes lit up, and seeing Bai Jiaojiao nod again, he immediately smiled and said, "I will definitely not let you down."

Bai Jiaojiao felt helpless; she actually hoped that Shen Heng would have an off day.

Bai Shiqing asked her team leader for leave after work last night. Although her team leader thought that her family was making a mountain out of a molehill, since other people's children are born at home, she went to the hospital twice when her child was only a few months old.

However, no matter what you think in your heart, you can't refuse when it comes to the child, otherwise they might blame you if the child gets sick in the future.

Bai Jiaojiao was worried that Bai Shiqing would be anxious, so she ate breakfast with Shen Heng and then rode her bicycle to the Li family to pick up Bai Shiqing.

At first, Bai Shiqing was hesitant to ride on Bai Jiaojiao's bike. But after Bai Jiaojiao's repeated assurances, she rode it halfway with trepidation. They chatted along the way, and she gradually felt more at ease.

Because the road in Shili Village was just repaired in winter, there were no small stones and no bumps along the way. There used to be a steep slope on the road, but it has been leveled, so it's very smooth to ride.

Upon arriving in town, the two headed straight to the People's Hospital. Bai Jiaojiao skillfully helped Bai Shiqing with the arrangements, and they were quickly seen at the hospital.

These days, how many ordinary farmers have prenatal checkups? The doctor saw that Bai Jiaojiao and her sister were beautiful and well-dressed, so he assumed they were relatives of some high-ranking official and was very attentive to them.

Bai Shiqing had an ultrasound, and the results showed that she was carrying twins, a boy and a girl.

“Look here, it’s obvious this is a daughter, and this is a son.”

These days, there's no such thing as not telling the man or woman; the doctor just told Bai Shiqing the good news directly.

Bai Shiqing was stunned when she heard this, and she couldn't recover on the way home.

"Sis, you're really something." Bai Jiaojiao found Bai Shiqing's expression amusing. "What's wrong? Aren't you happy?"

"Why wouldn't I be happy? Others need to have two births, but I gave birth to them all at once."

Bai Shiqing had already gotten used to being pregnant, but when she was suddenly told that she was carrying twins, she started to feel uneasy again.

A moment later: "Oh my god, if I give birth to twins at once, I'll suffer so much!"

After a while, she said, "I heard that people who have children with big breasts make their sons the eldest. What if a girl comes out first? Should I switch them too? It's good for a boy to be the older brother; he's responsible and will protect his younger sister."

A moment later: "I don't think my mother-in-law has prepared enough diapers. How are we going to take care of the two kids? His aunt just brought the baby back home a couple of days ago, and now the whole family has to start washing diapers again."

Bai Jiaojiao found Bai Shiqing's behavior somewhat amusing: "She's only a few months old, why are you starting to prepare diapers so early?"

“My mother-in-law has arranged everything and is currently sewing small quilts at home. Luckily, we prepared in advance; otherwise, it would have taken forever to sew these two quilts.”

Bai Shiqing was very excited, so she became more talkative: "How can I tell your brother-in-law? I feel so embarrassed."

“What’s there to be embarrassed about? If my brother-in-law knew, he’d treat you like royalty. There’s never been a case of twins in our village before.”

"Twins, you really know how to name them."

In Shili Village, twins are called "double sticks," and twins of different genders are called "flower sticks." They are not in the same league as the "dragon and phoenix twins" that Bai Jiaojiao mentioned.

That's what they call it in the books.

"That's pretty good. They were born with one named Li Dalong and the other Li Erfeng."

"......"

Bai Jiaojiao almost lost her balance while riding the bike.

When Bai Jiaojiao didn't respond to her comment, Bai Shiqing laughed and said, "I was just kidding. How could I just pick a name like that?"

"Sister, I was really worried about my nephews just now."

Seeing that Bai Shiqing was in such a good mood and even had time to joke with her, Bai Jiaojiao couldn't help but feel much happier as well.

After returning to the village, he took Bai Shiqing directly to the field where Li Shuxian was working and called out, "Brother-in-law, come home quickly, I have something to tell you!"

"What's wrong?"

Li Shuxian knew that the two sisters were going to town for a prenatal checkup today. When he heard Bai Jiaojiao's words, his eyelids twitched in fright.

Bai Jiaojiao kept everyone in suspense for a moment, then rode off on her bike.

"You should go home right away." His team members were also worried that something might happen to his wife, so they all urged him to go back immediately.

Li Shuxian threw down the rake in his hand and ran back. Bai Jiaojiao had just parked her bicycle in front of the Li family's house when Li Shuxian arrived. He grabbed Bai Shiqing and looked her around, asking, "What's wrong? Did they find a problem during the checkup?"

"There is a problem. You come in and explain."

Seeing Li Shuxian's anxious expression, Bai Shiqing found it difficult to speak.

If she said she was carrying twins, wouldn't this kid be so excited he'd fly to the heavens?
