Ye Xingguo felt relieved after hearing that his daughter was fine. "Shaozhong, don't let Xiaoning do heavy work while she's pregnant. Don't let her get angry. Please take care of anything that happens."

Li Shaozhong assured his father-in-law, "Dad, don't worry. I will take good care of Xiao Ning. I told you about the situation here last time. Xiao Ning will have no problem taking care of her pregnancy here. I'll take her back when she's a little older and the fetus is stable. By then, this place will be back on track, and I can hand it over to someone else to take care of it."

Ye Xingguo said: "Yes, Xiao Ning still has to come back to give birth. After all, giving birth is too dangerous. It is safer to go to a hospital in a big city."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Xingguo happily walked around the office for a few laps. Li Shaoyang came in and saw Ye Xingguo and asked, "Uncle Ye, what good thing happened that makes you so happy?"

Ye Xingguo smiled and said, "Shaozhong just called and said Xiaoning is pregnant. I'm going to be a grandfather."

Li Shaoyang was also very happy when he heard this. "Really? That's great. I'll be the second uncle then. Hehe, they're pretty quick."

Ye Xingguo said, "It's better to have a baby earlier. The country may soon implement family planning. If Xiao Ning and her family had had one earlier, they might have been able to have another child. One child is still too few."

Li Shaoyang had also heard of this rumor. It was still under discussion at the higher-ups. He didn't know when it would be implemented, but it shouldn't be too far away.

Li Shaoyang said, "The conditions in Shaozhong are not good. We need to buy them some nutritional supplements and fine grains."

Ye Xingguo took out the money and tickets he had on him and stuffed them into Li Shaoyang's pockets. "Please buy some for me and send them to Xiao Ning and the others."

When Li Jianye came home that night, he saw his wife fiddling with a bunch of things in the living room. He asked curiously, "Where did all these things come from?"

Yang Jinping said happily, "I bought it today and was planning to send it to Shaozhong and his family. Shaozhong called home today and said Xiaoning is pregnant. Are we going to be grandparents again?"

Li Jianye was delighted when he heard this and laughed, "Hahaha, Shaozhong and Xiaoning are awesome! This is a great event for our family. Jingyu will have brothers and sisters now. He won't be alone in this life anymore."

Yang Jinping nodded happily, "Yes, I've been looking forward to becoming a grandmother again, and now my wish has finally come true. We can finally have another child in our family."

At this time, Li Shaoting came back and asked, "Mom and Dad, what are you so happy about?"

Yang Jinping smiled and said, "Xiao Ning is pregnant. Tell me, are we happy?"

Li Shaoting smiled and said, "You should be happy. Now you've got what you wanted and are going to be a grandmother again. Go buy them some more nutritional supplements and send them over. Pregnant women need more nutrition."

Yang Jinping patted the things on the coffee table and said, "I bought some today, and I'm sorting them out now. I also need to prepare the child's quilt and other things in advance."

Thinking of her second son, Yang Jinping, who is still single, she sighed, "Alas, I don't know when the second son will find a partner to get married."

Li Shaoting sat on the sofa and looked at his mother. "Don't worry so much. If the second son meets someone he likes, he'll get married naturally. You can't force him, right?"

Besides, the second brother is so busy now, he doesn't have time to think about these things. His mind is not on this."

Yang Jinping said worriedly, "It's because he's not focused on this. If I don't push him a little, he'll never find a partner."

Li Jianye said, "That's enough. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Even if he never finds a partner to marry, that's his choice."

Yang Jinping pursed her lips and looked at her eldest son, "Shao Ting, you're only in your thirties, are you really not going to look for someone else?"

Seeing his mother targeting him again, Li Shaoting shook his head helplessly and said, "Mom, I already have Jingyu, and I don't want to find him a stepmother. If I find another one and don't let her have children, it would be unfair to her. If she has children, she will definitely treat her own children better and will definitely be biased. This is human nature. I don't want my son to live with unfair treatment in the future."

Li Jianye said, "Shao Ting's considerations make sense. There are examples of children marrying stepmothers in our compound. Look at which children have a good life under their stepmothers. Many have stepfathers after stepmothers. Although our Shao Ting won't become like that, women still have the greatest influence on children in a family.

There are many people in our compound who secretly abuse their husbands’ ex-wives’ children. Who knows if there are any more who haven’t been exposed? Besides, even if the ex-wife’s children are not abused in the family, being ignored and neglected is enough for the children to suffer.”

Yang Jinping didn't know everything about the families in the compound, but she knew a lot. "Yes, there are only a few stepmothers who can treat their stepchildren well. It's rare to see someone like Xiao Ning taking such good care of other people's children."

Li Jianye said with a smile, "Now you know Xiao Ning is fine, right?"

Yang Jinping rolled her eyes at her husband. "When did I ever say Xiao Ning was bad? I just made a mistake once before, but you can't forget it. You always bring it up to mock me. You're so petty."

Seeing his wife's frustration, Li Jianye said with a smile, "I'm not mocking you. I'm saying I have good taste."

Yang Jinping curled her lips. "What do you mean by good taste? Xiao Ning was chosen by Shaozhong himself. What does it have to do with you?"

Upon hearing this, Li Jianye said, "Why is it not a problem? If it weren't for my relationship with Xingguo, how could Shaozhong have passed Xingguo's test so easily? Xingguo really values ​​his daughter and would never give her to someone else just for family background and status."

Yang Jinping said, "That's because Shaozhong is an excellent man, a steady person, and a good person. That's why Xingguo agreed to marry his daughter to Shaozhong. You're the only one who flatters yourself."

Li Shaoting looked at the bickering parents and shook his head in amusement. Although his parents bickered frequently, they never hurt each other and neither of them took it personally. Furthermore, the two of them had a good relationship for so many years, and he envied his parents' love.

Thinking that his younger brother, whom he had taken care of since childhood, was about to become a father, Li Shaoting was happy for him. He had to decide what to buy and send to him.

His younger brother had called and told him not to buy anything for him anymore, so he'd just listened. After all, the conditions in Kyoto were better than those in the northwest. Besides, his younger sister-in-law had spent so much time in Nangang, experiencing the prosperity of the big city, it was rare for her to endure the harsh conditions of the northwest.

Even more remarkable was her initiative to go to the northwest, something most girls wouldn't be able to do. I hope their trial planting of mushroom grass succeeds quickly and they can return soon.
