Jian Anping was quite quick; he installed the outer door in less than half an hour. He then came over and helped Jian Ji'an carry the generator inside, installing it on the protruding balcony of the south-facing bedroom.

Although he wasn't an electrician and had never done this before, after seeing Xiao Lingfeng do it and looking at the instructions, he and Jian Jian worked together to figure it out, and they managed to install it.

After some adjustments, the house was soon powered on. When the air conditioner blew out cool air, Jian Xueqing burst into tears.

There's finally something to look forward to. I wish I could just crawl inside the air conditioner.

Jian Ning then handed the wire to Jian Anping.

"Brother, turn on the power to the door too. Do the same to the windows, to prevent anyone from coming in through the windows, since this floor is low."

"You're right. It will be much safer to keep the electricity on day and night from now on. Ji'an, I'm leaving this to you. Make sure to check it carefully before you go to sleep."

"Brother Anping, I understand. Don't worry, I will definitely protect this family." Jian Ji'an said very solemnly. Now that his father was also injured, he had to stand up and support this family.

Jian Ning waited until Jian Anping finished before going back to the sixteenth floor with him.

“You’ve been practicing martial arts for over a month now? You haven’t come out to eat. My father-in-law has asked you several times, and all I can say is that you’ve gone out.”

"When I went to your house, he asked me how my sister-in-law was doing lately, since she was inside." Jian Ning was quite concerned about Li Mengyao's health.

Being pregnant is not easy. Luckily, she married Jian Anping. Otherwise, in this apocalypse, it would be difficult for adults to survive, let alone someone who is pregnant.

"She's doing well, eating and sleeping well, but her belly is getting bigger every day, and she's always worried that she won't be able to have a natural birth, so she hasn't had any prenatal checkups. I don't know if the baby is normal." Jian Anping was also a little worried when she talked about this.

Recently, Li Mengyao has been having nightmares every night, waking up in terror. She dreams that her baby's umbilical cord is wrapped around its neck and she can't give birth naturally no matter what she does. She's also worried because there are no doctors around.

"I have an ultrasound machine, I'll go over tomorrow and get one done. I can probably understand some of it."

"Girl, you're amazing! That's wonderful. I'll go back and tell your sister-in-law right now. I bet she'll get a good night's sleep tonight."

Jian Anping was so happy he couldn't stop smiling. It was his first child, and he was especially looking forward to the safe arrival of the baby.

Just as I stepped upstairs, there was a loud rumble outside, followed by large raindrops falling.

"A little rain will cool things down a bit; the weather is so unpredictable."

"I wonder when this will end. Xiao Ning, have you had dinner? Want to come over for something to eat?" Jian Anping stopped and asked.

"I'm not going. I'm going back to lie down for a while. There's food at home."

Jian Ning didn't want to go eat there anymore, so she went back to her room and took out some restaurant-cooked dishes from her spatial storage. Then she returned to her immortal abode.

Practice cannot be neglected. Every available moment must be seized, for half a year will pass in the blink of an eye.

She didn't want to be sitting on a mountain of treasures, only to get nothing in return.

However, remembering that he was going to examine Li Mengyao the next day, he left the immortal mansion before seven o'clock in the morning.

The air conditioner was turned on and set to dehumidification. It must have rained all night yesterday, as the air inside was damp and stuffy.

I took out some yogurt and a sandwich and ate a little. Then I sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) and meditated. It was almost nine o'clock when the walkie-talkie finally rang.

"Xiao Ning, are you up yet? Your sister-in-law and I are coming over now."

“Okay, come on over.” Jian Ning walked over and waited for a while before opening the door when she heard their footsteps approaching.

"Why have you lost weight? I haven't seen you for over a month!" As soon as Li Mengyao came in, she wanted to hug Jian Ning.

Yesterday, when Jian Anping said that she could have an ultrasound today to check on the baby's condition, she cried with joy.

I've been feeling noticeably depressed lately, always thinking negatively, which might be related to staying indoors all the time. This is Jian Ning's house, which is only separated by a wall.

After walking through it, it felt like entering a different space, and my heart suddenly felt incredibly open and bright.

"I haven't lost much weight, but you've gained quite a bit. Your belly is so big, are you carrying twins?" Jian Ning said, sounding a little incredulous.

"No way, this one is almost killing me, how am I supposed to feed two? Xiao Ning, don't scare me. It must be because you've been eating well and not exercising lately that your belly is so big."

Li Mengyao can't even see her toes through her belly now. She'd rather believe it's just weight gain than have two children.

"You'll know once you come and see for yourself. This is the most advanced color Doppler ultrasound; it can tell whether it's a boy or a girl. But my skills aren't great; I'll be lucky if I can get a general idea. Don't have too high expectations, sister-in-law."

"Boy or girl doesn't matter, as long as there are no problems and the baby can be born smoothly, that's all that matters." Li Mengyao didn't have any preference for boys over girls. As long as the child was healthy, that was all that mattered.

Since it was their own home, there weren't many formalities, and Jian Anping went over with her, helping Li Mengyao lie down on the examination bed.

Jian Ning started the machine, applied a layer of coupling gel to Li Mengyao's large belly, and then began the examination.

"I see it! Is that the child's head?" Jian Anping, sitting next to her, stared at the screen, unable to contain her joy.

"Brother, keep your voice down, you scared me." Jian Ning was only operating the device based on the original owner's memories; she didn't really understand it herself.

"Oh, oh, I see. You're just too excited. This is the baby's heartbeat, right? It's quite strong!" Jian Anping's mouth was practically stretched to her ears in a wide grin.

"It's a heartbeat, I was right. Sister-in-law, you're carrying twins, and they're both in the right positions, so you can have a natural birth."

“It really is two, Xiao Ning. I don’t want so many. There’s no twin gene in my family. Do you have one?” Li Yanran almost cried after hearing Jian Ning’s words.

She's never taken care of children before, and now there are two all at once, how is she going to manage?

“I don’t have any at home either, it’s okay, sister-in-law. We have Aunt Li and Uncle Li, and my brother is free too. They can help you look after them. These two kids bring a lot of joy to the family, at least we won’t be lonely.”

Jian Ning kept comforting Li Mengyao.

“Xiao Ning is right. I will definitely help you take care of the baby. You just need to focus on giving birth and breastfeeding. You don’t need to worry about the rest.”

Jian Anping was the happiest of them all, gently stroking Li Mengyao's belly, eager to see what the two children looked like right now.

Jian Ning printed out the ultrasound report and handed it to Li Mengyao.

"Sister-in-law, keep it; it's a keepsake."
