Upon hearing that Song Chunli and Zhao Huanhuan had arrived, He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie personally came out to greet them.
"Auntie, it's so late, thank you for making this trip. It's too much trouble for you," He Tiantian said gratefully. She must have come at this hour because of her.
With a beaming smile, Song Chunli sat down and took out a brown paper bag from her purse, saying, "Yingjie, Tiantian, all the certificates are in here. I've already been to Director Wang's house at the neighborhood office. She registered them for you before she left work, proving that you were pregnant before the one-child policy. With these, you can rest assured at home and recover without having to hide anymore."
"Thank you so much, Aunt and Sister-in-law," He Tiantian said gratefully. "Yingjie and I are such idiots, we couldn't have thought of such a good method. Aunt is so amazing."
"Hehe, it's nothing," Song Chunli laughed. "By the way, according to the certificate, you are already three months pregnant. Under normal circumstances, you should be showing, but you are actually only a little over a month pregnant, so it's best to stay home and rest as much as possible."
"I've got it, Aunt and Sister-in-law," He Tiantian replied. Staying at home was better than hiding in the Taoist temple.
Looking back now, it seems that her and Huo Yingjie's way of thinking was a bit off!
Seeing that it was getting late and the business was done, Song Chunli smiled and said, "Tian Tian, Ying Jie, it's getting late. Your sister-in-law and I are going back now. You should get some rest."
"We have rooms at home, so why don't you stay here with us, Auntie and Sister-in-law, and go back tomorrow?" He Tiantian said. Although she knew that her aunt and sister-in-law wouldn't stay, she still wanted to persuade them to stay.
"No, I have two kids at home and I have to go to work tomorrow," Zhao Huanhuan said. "Anyway, it's not far from the old house, and we came back by car, so it doesn't matter if it gets dark."
"Alright, Aunt and Sister-in-law, please be careful on the road," He Tiantian said with a smile. "This weekend, Yingjie and I will take the children to visit everyone at the old house."
“Sure, you can come anytime,” Song Chunli said with a smile, her heart filled with joy.
Song Chunli also sensed that He Tiantian's attitude towards her this time was much better and more sincere than before.
Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian personally saw Song Chunli and Zhao Huanhuan off.
Back inside, seeing the stack of certificates, He Tiantian could finally relax.
Sure enough, the family planning commission from the neighborhood committee never came to send any more notices about gynecological examinations or IUD insertions, so He Tiantian was able to stay home and rest during her pregnancy.
Since it wasn't actually March yet, they weren't going to tell anyone else, only saying they weren't feeling well and were resting at home.
Qi Xiaoyan, Qi Zhengmin, and Jiang Wenwen thought He Tiantian was really unwell, so they came to visit her.
He Tiantian looked great, and seemed to have gained some weight.
"Sister Tian, are you pregnant?" Qi Xiaoyan asked. Knowing Sister Tian as she did, this was definitely not just a feeling of discomfort!
The other three people were also staring at He Tiantian.
Seeing that she couldn't hide it any longer, He Tiantian smiled awkwardly and said, "It's enough that you know, just don't talk about it outside."
"I won't tell, I won't tell." Qi Xiaoyan nodded. "How old are you?"
“It’s been a month and a half, but the official documents say it’s been almost three months. Just keep that to yourselves, don’t tell anyone else,” He Tiantian instructed. “This is a critical time, you can’t cause any trouble for me.”
"Don't worry, sister-in-law," Jiang Wenwen said. "I won't tell anyone about this. We'll talk about it after you give birth."
Qi Zhengmin asked, puzzled, "Isn't being pregnant a good thing? Why are you all so afraid? It's like there's going to be a lot of trouble?"
It's understandable that Qi Zhengmin is unaware of the situation in China.
There's no such thing as family planning in other countries; they might even encourage having children!
“Starting this year, China is implementing a family planning policy. Couples who already have children are not allowed to have any more. Couples who have not yet had children are only allowed to have one child, and a second child is not permitted,” He Tiantian explained. “This is a policy that has to be implemented in order to curb the rapid increase in China’s population.”
"I see." Qi Zhengmin nodded. "Although I don't agree, I understand. This little guy's arrival is very timely!"
"Yes, that's why I quit my job," He Tiantian said. "Now I'm staying home to rest and prepare for childbirth. If you need anything, you can come to my house. I won't go out until the baby is born."
“Okay,” Qi Zhengmin said. “My brother asked me to be in charge of sales in Yanjing and nationwide promotion. Tang Qian and I will handle things here, so you don’t need to worry.”
Tang Qian?
That's what she's worried about!
He Tiantian smiled bitterly to herself, but she also understood that some things were beyond her control and that everything depended on Qi Zhengmin himself.
At noon, the four sisters ate and chatted together. They didn't leave until the afternoon, and they planned to throw a celebration party for He Tiantian three months later.
So, He Tiantian usually stayed at home, reading books and looking at account books.
Whenever there was something that needed to be discussed with He Tiantian, Niu Dajun, Li Yunfeng, Jiang Wenwen, and Qi Xiaoyan would come over to discuss it with her.
On weekends, I visit the Huo family's old residence.
Grateful for Song Chunli's kindness, He Tiantian received the gifts from her mother. She picked out a black shoulder bag for Song Chunli and a peach-colored shoulder bag for Zhao Huanhuan.
Because of the family planning policy, He Tiantian's relationship with Song Chunli and Zhao Huanhuan has improved somewhat.
Whenever He Tiantian gets something fun, she shares some with them.
He Tiantian even had Jiang Wenwen design clothes for Song Chunli herself, and paired with the bag He Tiantian gave her, she looked like a dignified and elegant lady.
Song Chunli liked it even more, and with money in hand, she lived a very enjoyable life.
Madam Huo was also very happy; she was pleased that the family was so harmonious.
When Qi Zhengmin returned to Nanshi from a business trip and went to the government office, he met Huo Zhekun privately.
"Uncle Huo, I have some good news for you." Qi Zhengmin smiled, acting like a well-behaved junior in front of Huo Zhekun.
"Hehe, your brother has already told me. There are five sales outlets across the country, with a total of two thousand cars in stock, and more than three thousand cars have already been pre-ordered. It's quite a hit in the country," Huo Zhekun laughed. This was an achievement he had personally accomplished.
The better the sales, the more impressive his political achievements.
"No," Qi Zhengmin said with a smile. "My brother can tell you about this. What I want to talk about is a private matter."
"Oh? A personal matter?" Huo Zhekun asked curiously. "Tell me quickly, so I can share in your joy."
