People in this era mostly wore cloth shoes they made themselves, as well as the popular Liberation Shoes. Of course, canvas shoes and leather shoes were also common.

Xu Xinning grew up in a military compound, so she is quite familiar with military supplies.

Take the shoes Wang Zhaoguo is wearing now, for example. At first glance, they look like ordinary liberation shoes, but Xu Xinning, who is very familiar with military supplies, can tell at a glance that these shoes are special. These liberation shoes are specially made, and neither the soles nor the uppers can be compared to ordinary liberation shoes. Therefore, these shoes are specially supplied, and not all soldiers can wear them.

Xu Xinning remembered that when Wang Zhaoguo came to her house for dinner last time, he mentioned that he had no military experience, so how could he possibly have these kinds of shoes?

Moreover, Wang Zhaoguo's way of tying his trouser legs was also very professional.

This inevitably made Xu Xinning suspicious of him.

Xu Xinning turned around and looked at the mountain behind her. Could there be some unknown secret hidden in this mountain?

After descending the mountain, Xu Xinning parted ways with Wang Ying at the entrance of the brigade headquarters, and went directly to the medical station.

To Xu Xinning's surprise, Xu Yaoyang's wife was sitting in the sun at the entrance of the medical station, waiting for her.

Xu Yaoyang's wife looked extremely thin, almost skin and bones, with dark circles under her eyes. She looked listless and seemed as if a gust of wind could carry her away.

Xu Xinning lowered her head and smiled, finally finding it.

This guy has good stamina; I didn't expect it to take so long to find him.

Xu Xinning: "Auntie, what brings you here?"

Xu Yaoyang's wife: "What good thing could happen here! Ningning, can you help your auntie see what's wrong? I've been feeling really tired lately."

Overdrafting is fine, but you don't even know why? That's ridiculous.

Xu Yaoyang wasn't seen coming over yet; did he come first to lead the charge?

As Xu Xinning opened the door, she welcomed Xu Yaoyang's wife inside. She wasn't in a hurry; she slowly and methodically arranged the herbs in her basket and laid them out in the bamboo basket used for drying herbs. Then she poured out the mushrooms she had picked. After finishing all that, she washed her hands and sat down opposite Xu Yaoyang's wife.

Although Xu Xinning ignored Xu Yaoyang's wife and went about her own business, Xu Yaoyang's wife didn't show any temper. Normally, she definitely wouldn't react this way.

Xu Yaoyang's wife is a bit scheming. She acts one way in public and another way in private. When she's with people, she's always smiling and saying things that people want to hear. People who don't know her might think she's easy to get along with, but in reality, she's narrow-minded, vindictive, and a typical smiling tiger.

Except for Xu Mingyang, the people from the second wife's family were all very jealous of the people from the first wife's family. They often spoke ill of them behind their backs and loved to put on airs in front of the younger generation.

Normally, Xu Yaoyang's wife would probably react sarcastically to Xu Xinning's disdain, but today she didn't react at all. She was still lost in thought when Xu Xinning sat down opposite her.

Before taking her pulse, Xu Xinning lit a special incense stick and then opened the bottle containing the cute little thing.

Before long, the little cutie returned to the bottle without anyone noticing.

Xu Xinning put the lid on before starting to listen to the pulse.

To Xu Xinning's surprise, Xu Yaoyang's wife was pregnant, probably before the baby entered her body.

Wow, this kid is really tough. He's been through so much trouble and he's still alive. He's a prodigy!

Xu Xinning: "Auntie, do you always feel weak, like you're about to collapse?"

Xu Yaoyang's wife: "Yes, I have no energy during the day and always want to sleep, but I'm full of energy at night and can't fall asleep no matter what."

Haha, how can you fight hard if you're not energetic at night? Then you'll be lacking energy during the day, which is a vicious cycle.

Xu Xinning: "Auntie, you've been pregnant for over a month."

"What?" Xu Yaoyang's wife was very surprised, her eyes wide open, as if her eyeballs were about to pop out.

Xu Xinning kindly repeated, "Auntie, I said you're pregnant."

Xu Yaoyang's wife couldn't help but touch her belly. Thinking back on the crazy nights she and Xu Yaoyang had shared for the past two weeks, she broke out in a cold sweat. She was so lucky!

Was it just good luck?

Actually, that's not the case.

The two of them seemed to be working very hard these past two weeks, but in reality, they were both exhausted. If it weren't for their two adorable little ones, they probably wouldn't even be able to stack up together.

Xu Yaoyang's wife seemed to have finally found the reason for her abnormality, muttering to herself, "No wonder, no wonder this is happening."

Xu Xinning chuckled inwardly and then said, "Auntie, have you and Uncle been having a particularly harmonious sex life lately?"

"What?" Xu Yaoyang's wife didn't react at first.

Xu Xinning then said in a serious tone, "Auntie, I know you and my uncle have a good relationship, but there are some things you still need to control. Cough cough, as an unmarried woman, I don't know how to say it, it's quite embarrassing to talk about, haha!"

Xu Yaoyang's wife seemed to understand what Xu Xinning was talking about at once, and her face turned as red as a boiled shrimp.

I never expected this little girl to be so capable. She could even diagnose this kind of thing with just one pulse. It's so embarrassing!

Although Xu Yaoyang's wife was very embarrassed, she was also very worried about the baby in her belly and asked, "Will my poor condition affect the baby?"

Xu Xinning: "Auntie, the baby is showing signs of threatened miscarriage, but don't worry. I'll prescribe you seven days' worth of medicine to prevent miscarriage. Take it three times a day, boil three bowls of water down to one bowl. I'll check on you again after you finish the medicine."

Xu Yaoyang's wife: "Okay!"

Perhaps because she knew there was a new life in her belly, Xu Yaoyang's wife's spirits improved a lot.

Almost a week later, the medical station's accounts have new entries. The second wife has made a huge contribution to the medical station in the past two weeks. It seems that if they want to get business, they still need to think of some ways!

Because of Xu Yaoyang's wife's unexpected pregnancy, Xu Xinning can't go too far. It seems she'll have to summon the other little cutie back tonight, otherwise, someone's death would be a terrible sin.

However, Xu Yaoyang has really suffered a lot recently. Because he is too busy at night, he can't even ride his bicycle to work in the morning. I heard that he has been taking an oxcart to work recently. He looks terrible, hunched over, and has long lost his handsome appearance.

Speaking of Xu Yaoyang and his wife, Xu Xinning remembered that she needed to help Xu Mingyang and his second wife with a paternity test. Due to her lack of experience, she had tried several times without success and had run out of samples. She would have to find an opportunity to get samples soon.
