As winter faded and spring arrived, the cumbersome winter clothes were shed and replaced with simple spring attire, giving everyone a stronger understanding of Shen Fenghua's twins.
There was no other reason than that her belly was alarmingly large beneath her slender limbs.
Qi Ye saw it, frowned, and felt even more depressed.
Shen Fenghua felt it was alright. Under normal circumstances, a pregnant woman's belly is more or less just for show. The reason she looked scary was mainly because she was too thin.
My stomach is full.
"It's alright, it's nothing."
Qi Ye said in a deep voice, "I'm not at ease."
"You're still worried?" Shen Fenghua laughed. "So you're just going to do nothing but hang around me all day?"
"I think so." Qi Ye took a deep breath. "I'll arrange what I'm doing now, and I'll stay home with you during this time."
"No way," Shen Fenghua said, feeling pressured. "Just do what you're supposed to do. It's not the time when we need you the most yet. If you don't work now, what am I supposed to do when I need you and you have a mission to go on a long trip?"
"But……"
As Shen Fenghua packed up the clothes, she said, "I don't feel anything is wrong. We'll continue with our lives as usual. If you're really worried about me, why don't you do more things now and take leave later to be with me when I have my baby? Wouldn't that be better?"
Qi Ye frowned, "I just feel like I can't help, I..."
Yes, pregnancy and childbirth are naturally a woman's business, but Qi Ye's actions are already much better than most men these days.
In other families, even if a woman is pregnant, she still has to do all the things that are expected to be done.
It's extremely rare for someone like Shen Fenghua to return home and become a hands-off manager, pampered by the whole family. You couldn't find many like that in the entire county.
People should be content with what they have and be happy.
"Your presence has been a huge help to me," Shen Fenghua said to Qi Ye from the bottom of her heart. "Thank you."
Thank you for taking the first step on her blind date.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have everything she has now, wouldn't have her own cozy little courtyard, wouldn't have two lovely children, and most importantly...
Her maternal grandmother.
If she hadn't taken Qi Ye back to see her grandmother at that time, she wouldn't have known even if her grandmother had died in the countryside.
When this happened, Shen Fenghua would wake up from her dreams countless times in the middle of the night. Her grandmother was her only relative and pillar of support in the world. She couldn't imagine whether she would go crazy if she lost her grandmother.
Shen Fenghua was lost in thought. After a while, she lowered her head, cupped Qi Ye's face, and placed a devout kiss on his lips. "Qi Ye, I am so grateful to you. Thank you for coming into my life. Thank you."
Her eyes were warm, and after a long while, a tear fell and landed on Qi Ye's face.
Qi Ye's heart was breaking. He carefully wrapped his arms around Shen Fenghua's body. "Don't cry. There's nothing to thank me for. If anyone should thank you, it should be me thanking you. You gave me a home and a place to stay."
"I used to feel that life was dull and I never thought about changing anything. It was you, it was your existence that gave me the desire to move forward. It is because of your existence that we all have a home, a home where we don't have to be tired of wandering."
It was a home that, despite his utter exhaustion, would give him a sudden burst of energy whenever it appeared in his mind.
Among the thousands of lights, so many lights flickering in the city, he had never imagined that one of them would be his.
But now we have it.
Not only were there lights, but there was also a table of fragrant food. Sitting at the table were a kind old lady, a beautiful and lovely wife, a sensible and obedient young son, and two unborn children.
He is now incredibly grateful for the courage he had back then.
The two leaned against each other, their hearts touching, and felt their relationship grow even closer.
As time passed and the sweltering heat arrived, Shen Fenghua's belly stopped growing much in the end, which made everyone both happy and scared.
Later, unable to put his mind at ease, he took Shen Fenghua on another trip to the city.
Qi Ye was still with them, sitting on the swaying, almost falling apart bus. The two looked at each other and burst out laughing. It was just like this last time. They didn't expect that the same scene would repeat itself so soon.
"By the way, did you finish the malted milk powder from last time?"
"There's half a jar left. Grandma should have some left too."
Sister Hong is worth quite a bit. When the military region came to ask the young couple what they wanted, they thought and thought but didn't really want anything, mainly because they were both the type to just get by.
Although Qi Ye wanted to give Shen Fenghua a better life, this matter was somewhat accidental. Besides, thinking about it, it was also a way of eliminating a scourge for the people.
Unable to come up with anything, the two simply stopped thinking about it and said, "Anything is fine with me, anything will do."
This is great! The city was afraid they wouldn't give us enough, so they brought five cans of malted milk powder, five bags of milk powder, a bag full of dried meat, canned goods, and crispy fruit, as well as various local specialties and mountain products.
That wasn't enough; they gave us twenty catties of meat coupons and an additional fifty yuan.
That's quite a lot.
The two were laughing and chatting happily; apart from the hot weather, there was nothing wrong with them.
When they arrived at the hospital, the same doctor was there. The couple was overjoyed and had the doctor examine them. "Everything is normal, and your nutrition is just right. Keep it up, and you can have a C-section in a while."
After confirming that everything was alright, Qi Ye finally felt relieved. This time, he wasn't as carefree as last time, and the two of them strolled around for a while before eating and returning to the guesthouse to rest.
After recovering from my exhaustion, I boarded the bus home early the next morning.
It would be best if nothing happened, but Shen Fenghua has entered the next stage, the sweltering summer.
I have no appetite for anything, and I'm not even hungry. In the morning, I drink a couple of sips of brown sugar, egg, tea, or wine, but I refuse, saying it's too sticky.
Seeing this, Qi Ye finally pulled out the ultimate weapon in his household.
A cellar full of ice.
Looking at the ice block emitting a white, misty aura, Shen Fenghua felt a surge of joy rush to her head. "How did you do that?"
"I'm just giving it a try."
He noticed while cleaning that the cellar was two-story and quite large. Since there were few people in the family, they didn't need the second floor at all. He started to speculate and remembered what people had said about the ice cellar.
In the past, during winter, there were ice blocks everywhere. Since it didn't cost much money, just a bit of effort, Qi Ye managed to get quite a lot of them in.
Looking at Shen Fenghua's smiling face, he suddenly felt, "Hmm, this was done quite well."
Shen Fenghua's family was completely liberated. After checking the stock in the cellar, adhering to the principle of thinking of her sisters when good things happen, Shen Fenghua secretly sent some to Li Yanran's family. When Li Yanran saw it, she exclaimed that she was amazing. Of course, she only accepted it that one time. She refused to accept any more offers.
but……
Looking at the three children sleeping soundly in the room, Shen Fenghua shook her head and chuckled.
She tossed her precious possession over.
