Chapter 465: Double Happiness

Sang Zhixia was very tired when she got home yesterday. Her family didn't dare to bother her and postponed the time to invite Mr. Hu to come and take her pulse.

After all, Mr. Hu is a great imperial physician, and his words are more trusted by the Xu family.

As long as this old man has taken a look, the rest of the people will feel at ease.

Xu Yanran came with Old Master Hu. She entered the main hall and served tea very smoothly. She was very respectful and humble. "Master, please have some tea."

Mr. Hu looked at his favorite disciple, who was grinning so hard he couldn't open his eyes, and said cheerfully, "We are all at home now, don't be restrained."

"You go play with your brothers and sisters, I'll just wait here for your sister-in-law."

Mr. Hu meant well, but Xu Yanran refused to leave.

Xu Yanran said persistently: "I want to accompany Master to check my sister-in-law's pulse. I also want to know her condition."

"I don't think you want to accompany your sister-in-law at all. You are obviously curious about the little nephew in your sister-in-law's belly, right?"

After making the joke, Aunt Xu couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh: "Oh, I just remembered it now."

"When Xia Xia's baby is born, the younger ones in our family will all become aunts and uncles. Our Yanran will be the eldest aunt."

Xu Yanran's eyes lit up with excitement.

Xu Jinxi still couldn't figure out how the generations were calculated. She grabbed the candy given by Mr. Hu and asked eagerly, "Aunt San, what about me?"

"What kind of aunt is Jinxi?"

Aunt Xu smiled from ear to ear and said, "Jinxi, Jinxi is my aunt."

"It's not easy, it's not easy. Our Jinxi is only this young, but she's already going to be an aunt."

The adults in the room laughed out loud at Xu Jinxi's confused look.

Xu Jinxi smacked the words "little aunt" a few times, straightened her body with an effort, and said as if to promise, "Jinxi will definitely be a good little aunt!"

"I gave all my candies to my nephew!"

As soon as the children uttered these childish words, the adults couldn't help but burst into laughter.

When Sang Zhixia got the news that Mr. Hu had arrived, she hurried over to see Second Aunt Xu bending over and teasing Xu Mingxu, whose face was flushed red: "Mingxu, you're going to be an uncle soon."

"Aunt Jinxi has already taken out her own candy. What is uncle going to give her?"

Xu Mingxu grunted for a long time, thinking that eating too much candy would damage his teeth, which was not the best thing to do. His face flushed red and he emphasized seriously, "I'm reading to my nephew."

“Read lots of books!”

My grandfather said that books are golden houses!

Second Aunt Xu couldn't help but burst out laughing. Xu Mingxu turned around and saw Sang Zhixia, and ran towards Sang Zhixia.

"Sister-in-law, I will teach my nephew to read!"

Sang Zhixia rubbed his raised head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and said with a smile: "It may not be my nephew."

"What if it's my little niece?"

Xu Mingxu said seriously, "I'll teach my niece to read too."

"Sister-in-law, please believe me. Grandfather and my second brother both said I can read. I will definitely be able to teach you well!"

Sang Zhixia nodded with a smile, and when she entered the room, she did not sit down first. Instead, she stood side by side with Xu Yu and bowed to Mr. Hu.

Old Master Hu quickly called someone over to sit down. His eyebrows raised at the sight of Sang Zhixia, and he gestured for her to place her hand on the pillow before saying, "I heard from your mother-in-law that the doctor examined you and said you're five months pregnant."

Sang Zhixia nodded, but before she could respond, she heard Xu Yu repeat what Mr. Qi had said, word for word.

Hearing this, Mr. Hu's eyes lit up with interest. He put his fingers on Sang Zhixia's wrist and moved them up and down. He suppressed a smile and said, "Change your hand."

Sang Zhixia did as she was told, and seeing the increasingly intense smile on Mr. Hu's face, she subconsciously looked towards Xu Yu for some reason.

Xu Yu slowly held Sang Zhixia's hand, and after Grandpa Hu moved his hand away, he said, "Grandpa Hu, is Zhizhi okay?"

"This baby has been taken very good care of, and it's safe, but..."

In the suddenly quiet atmosphere, Mr. Hu stroked his beard and said meaningfully, "Twins require more care than singletons. Even if you take good care of them now, you can't be careless before the birth."

Xu Yu selectively caught the words he wanted to hear, and nodded and said yes without thinking too much, but in a flash, the smile that had just overflowed was completely frozen on his face.

Xu Yu looked up stiffly as if frightened, and bumped into Sang Zhixia's eyes, which were also filled with shock.

Second Aunt Xu reacted faster and immediately suppressed her excitement and asked, "Grandpa Hu, are you saying that Xia Xia's pregnancy is..."

"They are twins."

Mr. Hu took a sip of the tea on the table and said slowly, "Isn't this obvious?"

"It's only been five months, but she's already so pregnant. There's no way she's wrong."

After saying this, Mr. Hu glanced at the stiff Xu Yu with a half-smile, and almost guessed why the person who adjusted Sang Zhixia's body did not tell Xu Yu that she was pregnant with twins.

Considering Xu Yu's condition, wouldn't he have been even more frightened if he had told him earlier?

Old Master Hu suppressed his laughter and coughed before saying, "Although the person who helped this girl adjust her body is an excellent doctor, she is pregnant with two babies at once, which is not comparable to ordinary situations."

“So we need to be more cautious and careful in the later stages and must not be careless.”

"Okay, okay, we will be careful."

Xu Wenxiu was surprised and delighted. In her great joy, she quickly chased after him and asked, "Does Xia Xia need any supplements now?"

"I've prepared a lot of supplements, but I'm not sure if they'll work, so I didn't dare give them to her rashly."

"How about you make a list of what I can and can't eat, so I can have a plan in mind?"

"No need to eat extra tonic food."

Mr. Hu said with a smile: "Pregnancy of twins is more difficult than that of a single baby. In order to ensure a smooth delivery, it is not good to take too many supplements."

"When it comes to food, avoid wild game, avoid spicy food, get plenty of rest, and you'll be fine if you take good care of yourself."

Xu Wenxiu nodded repeatedly as if she suddenly understood.

Second Aunt Xu and Third Aunt Xu couldn't help but clap their hands and laugh: "This is truly a double blessing!"

"Mingxu, go tell your grandfather quickly. He's waiting for you back there. He'll definitely be delighted if he knows!"

Xu Mingxu ran to report the news, seemingly understanding it.

Xu Yanran looked at the motionless Xu Yu blankly and asked curiously, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Why did he react like he had lost his soul after Mr. Hu revealed that Sang Zhixia was pregnant with twins?

Aunt Xu tilted her head to glance at Xu Yu, who seemed to be at a loss as to what to do with his hands and feet, and said with a smile, "What's wrong?"

"Your eldest brother is so happy that he's dumbfounded!"

"Two babies in one pregnancy, how could this foolish father not be happy?"

Xu Wenxiu turned her head and couldn't help laughing.

"My eyes are wide open, I'm so happy I'm stupid."

Xu Wenxiu couldn't stand it any longer and pinched Xu Yu, saying angrily, "This foolish child."

"Your Grandpa Hu said that Xia Xia needs to rest well now. Why don't you help her back to the house? What are you still standing there for?"

Xu Yu suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly tried to help Sang Zhixia get up.

Sang Zhixia pressed the back of his trembling hand and said, "Mother-in-law, didn't you say you wanted me to look at the materials? Since I'm already here, why not look at them all at once?"

"Oh, then you don't have to watch it."

Xu Wenxiu smiled lovingly, carefully helped Sang Zhixia up and said, "I was worried that you would be bored in the house, so I wanted to find something to keep you occupied."

"But since you can't stand the fatigue, we won't bother you with that. We've chosen one and will show it to you in the North Courtyard. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

"Hurry up and go back with Yu'er to rest. If you need anything to eat or anything, send Yu'er to tell me."

Xu Wenxiu kept a close eye on Xu Yu as if he was holding a piece of fragile porcelain, and instructed him to take Sang Zhixia away. Then she clapped her hands and happily went to choose something suitable.

On the way back to the North Courtyard, Xu Yu and Sang Zhixia happened to meet Old Qi who was coming back from a walk. When Old Qi saw that Xu Yu looked as if his soul had been beaten away, he snorted.

"Isn't it just being a father of two kids at once? Look at how useless you are."

Xu Yu was in a daze and couldn't retort.

Sang Zhixia held his hand and said with a smile, "Mr. Qi, he didn't sleep well last night. You can ridicule him another day."

Sang Zhixia didn't say why she didn't sleep well, but Old Qi subtly said, "I know you're protecting this kid, but there's no need to rush."

"You came back just to rest. It won't do you any good if you stay here for a long time. Come with me and I'll teach you something to pass the time."

What Mr. Qi said was exactly what Sang Zhixia wanted.

Xu Yu said subconsciously: "Zhizhi, but you..."

"Girl, don't be that stupid boy."

Old Qi gave Xu Yu a look of disdain and said to himself, "Follow me."
