Chen Fang looked at Jiang Qiao with suspicion. Although the child was asleep, he looked very tired.

Having been through it all, a thought suddenly popped into his head: "Haozi, is your wife pregnant?"

Ning Hao glanced at Chen Fang in surprise. "Really? But you never know. After all, they've been married for almost two months. It's normal for her to have this. I'll take her for a checkup later."

Liu Zhanyu understood Jiang Qiao well. "Stop the examination. Let the old man take Qiao'er's pulse. Both of them are very skilled doctors and can feel it themselves. Okay, stop talking and let Qiao'er get a good night's sleep."

Jiang Qiao didn't even realize she was home; Ning Hao had to carry her back to her room.

Li Meilan thought something had happened to Jiang Qiao, so she rushed over to ask.

"Auntie, it's alright. Qiao'er was too tired and fell asleep. I just wanted her to sleep a little longer, so I didn't wake her up. Could you watch over her for me while I go pick up my Grandpa Qiao?"

After Qiao Jie returned, he immediately took Jiang Qiao's pulse while she was asleep. The old man couldn't hide the smile on his face.

"Good lad, you're going to be a dad, and I'm going to be a great-grandfather. Hurry up and go make something nice for your wife. No, no need for you, I'll do it myself. There are some things I don't know much about."

Li Meilan was dumbfounded. "Grandpa, do you mean Qiao'er is pregnant?"

Qiao Jie smiled and nodded, "Yes, the pregnancy is a bit short, but it's definitely true. Her aunt and daughter are newly pregnant, and the child's parents aren't around. There's no suitable elder in the family to teach the child these things."

Later, you should explain this properly to Lianfeng and Qiao'er. It's true that this girl can cure illnesses, but this is her first time being pregnant. Some things can't be learned from books."

Li Meilan nodded repeatedly, "Grandpa, don't worry. I'll talk to Auntie about this later. You all go ahead with your work. This is a good thing, and I need to have a good talk with Song Lianfeng about it."

Qiao Jie went to the kitchen and made a pot of soup for Jiang Qiao. Don't underestimate this soup; it's full of nourishing ingredients to replenish qi and blood. The girl had worked very hard before and was pregnant, so she needed to replenish her qi quickly. The old man was worried that the girl was too weak and wouldn't be able to support the baby.

Upon learning that Jiang Qiao was pregnant, Song Lianfeng hurriedly came over with Li Meilan.

"Where is Qiao'er?"

Jiang Qiao, who had slept the whole way, opened his eyes when Song Lianfeng entered the room. Seeing Song Lianfeng and Li Meilan come in together, he thought the two of them were just visiting.

"What wind blew you two here, Auntie? Aren't you busy?"

Song Lianfeng stared at Jiang Qiao with a nervous expression, looking her up and down. "Girl, do you feel like there's anything wrong with you? You're pregnant and you don't even know it. What are you doing wandering around like this? Stay home and behave yourself. Do you know that the first three months of pregnancy are the most important period for a woman? Whether the baby can be born safely depends on whether you can take good care of yourself during the first three months."

These words left Jiang Qiao dumbfounded. "Wait, Third Aunt, who are you talking about? Is it me?"

Ning Hao nodded with a smile, "It was you. Grandpa Qiao took your pulse, but you didn't even know it. You were asleep just now. Try taking your pulse yourself—"

When Jiang Qiao took his pulse, she was surprised. "Hehe, it really is. You can tell how careless I am. Haozi, I'm so sorry, I really didn't know."

Ning Hao put his arm around Jiang Qiao's shoulder and said, "It's okay. Now that we know, we'll just be more careful in the future. You two chat first, I'll go help Grandpa Qiao."

Li Meilan chimed in from the side, "It's not too late to know now, girl. You'd better behave yourself. Having a child is no laughing matter. Listen to me..."

Next, it was time for Li Meilan and Song Lianfeng to teach Jiang Qiao some knowledge. Jiang Qiao listened attentively, and even though she was afraid she wouldn't remember, she found a notebook to write it down. Since her mother wasn't around, there were some things she didn't understand, and she really needed guidance from these experienced people on some aspects of childcare.

Although she was a doctor and well-read, there were some things that weren't even written in books, and she learned a lot from these two elders.

Especially Li Meilan, that girl is practically possessed by gossip. She tells Jiang Qiao everything she knows about which child is doing this or that, and why.

"Remember, if there's anything you don't understand, just come and ask us. Don't be shy. We've had several kids, so we're much better than someone like you who has no experience."

Song Lianfeng then lovingly patted Jiang Qiao's hair, saying, "Our little Qiao is going to be a mother soon. Time really flies. We still don't know where Chunming's girlfriend is. This brat, I even suspect he's hiding from me."

He's never home. Look at him, you're even younger than him, you're almost a mother, and Chunming is nowhere to be seen.

Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "Third Aunt, my brother Chunming knows what he's doing. With Master Hou around, what are you worried about?"

Song Lianfeng sighed, "That's true. This Master Hou is quite capable. I guess it's really just a matter of time, just like he said."

Li Meilan chimed in, "Nian Chunming, what are you worried about? You have a good job, you're energetic, and your family is well-off. With such an enlightened mother-in-law like you, any girl who marries into your family should be secretly thrilled."

Unlike me, with my son, there was nothing we could do. We managed to get rid of him when he was little, but over the years I've come to understand. It's also my and my husband's fault for not raising our children well. Fortunately, they're all doing well now. At least they're willing to work hard. As long as they know how to earn money to support the family and stay on the right path, nothing else matters.

The two chatted with Jiang Qiao for a while before going home to prepare dinner.

When she was all alone in the room, Jiang Qiao touched her belly and couldn't help but secretly smile.

Unexpectedly, in this life, she became a mother. A little life was growing inside her. What a miraculous thing! In her previous life, she never dared to even think about it.

When Ning Hao and Qiao Jie brought in the food, they saw Jiang Qiao smiling foolishly by herself.

"Girl, let's eat. Grandpa made you some nourishing soup. Drink more of it. Your blood and energy are still a bit lacking. If the mother's body is lacking something, it will affect the baby in your belly. Your third aunt has explained it to you clearly. From now on, you have to be careful. Don't stay up late anymore, and don't do anything to anyone. The first three months are very important."

Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "Grandpa Qiao, I understand. From now on, I'll wait for Ning Hao to serve me."

Ning Hao smiled and placed the dining table on the kang (a heated brick bed). "Of course, I'll serve my wife and children. Qiao'er, do you want to bring my grandma back?"
