After Gu Huai'an finished eating and cleared away the dishes, he took Xu Mengying to the clinic. He Chen'an asked, "What brings you two here so late?"
"Dr. He, I feel nauseous and gag when I smell meat, and I'm already married. Could you please check if I'm pregnant?" Xu Mengying sat down happily and stretched out her hand.
"Show me your marriage certificate," He Chen'an said.
Xu Mengying hurriedly took out her marriage certificate and handed it over. He Chen'an looked at it and confirmed that they were husband and wife before showing it to Xu Mengying. After a while, he said, "Judging from the pulse, you are indeed pregnant, about a month and a half. The pulse is good, and there is no problem with the baby. If you still have any concerns, you can go to the hospital for a check-up. My place is rather simple, and I don't have many things here."
After He Chen'an finished speaking, he noticed that Gu Huai'an didn't ask what precautions to take during pregnancy, which showed that this man was not someone who cared much about his wife.
It's true that the well-fed don't know the hunger of the starving, and those with wives don't cherish them.
He wants to get married but can't!
He didn't know when he and Wenxi would reach that point.
Gu Huai'an didn't ask, but He Chen'an still offered a few words of advice. After all, he was a doctor, and even if the male colleagues didn't listen, the female colleagues would definitely listen for the sake of their health and children.
Back home, Xu Mengying threw herself into Gu Huai'an's arms, leaning against his chest and listening to his heartbeat. She said contentedly, "Brother Huai'an, I'm carrying your child! It's so wonderful! Tomorrow I'll call Grandma and tell her the good news. I'm sure she'll be just as happy as we are..."
With the child, her position was secure, and she was no longer afraid of anything.
Gu Huai'an just stared blankly, not knowing what he was looking at or thinking. Who told him to only enjoy the process and not think about the consequences?
His marriage and family could only be pushed forward by Xu Mengying.
The news of Xu Mengying's pregnancy spread the very next day. She herself couldn't wait to show off her pregnancy to everyone because she wanted to deter all the women who had designs on Gu Huai'an.
However, she didn't say how far along she was in her pregnancy, because if she did, people could calculate from their wedding date that they were together before marriage, which would damage their reputation.
When the baby is born, just say it was a few days early, so no one else will know.
Xu Mengying also didn't expect that the baby would arrive when she and Gu Huai'an first got together. It can only be said that one seed is good and the other soil is fertile. As soon as the seed was planted, it naturally took root and sprouted immediately.
Xu Mengying went to the brigade headquarters to borrow a phone to call Grandma Gu and tell her the good news that she was pregnant with Gu Huai'an's child. Grandma Gu was very happy to hear this and repeatedly told Xu Mengying to rest well and take good care of her pregnancy, not to do any work, and to let Gu Huai'an do anything. She even let Gu Huai'an answer the phone and told him to take good care of Xu Mengying and the baby.
In the eyes of the older generation, offspring are the most important thing, so Grandma Gu valued the child in Xu Mengying's belly and even asked Gu Huai'an to apply to the brigade leader to not let Xu Mengying go to work after the New Year, and that the family would pay for and support Xu Mengying and the child.

School is finally out for winter break, and Jin Changqing can go home to see who her older brother's new little sister really is.
Jin Changqing packed her luggage and went to the hospital to find Zhu Ying. She gave Zhu Ying a key and said, "Zhu Ying, I'm going back to my hometown tomorrow. While I'm gone, could you please come over and feed the chickens for me occasionally? That's all. The chickens are the most important thing."
Because she keeps her valuables close to her body, she doesn't need Zhu Ying to watch over them for her.
Zhu Ying took the keys, patted Jin Changqing on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Changqing, don't worry, your problems are my problems. I will definitely take it seriously. I promise you, when you come back, all the chickens you raised will be alive and well."
"Zhu Ying, thank you for your help. I'll treat you to dinner when I get back," Jin Changqing said with a smile, happy that she would soon have such a wonderful sister-in-law.
Zhu Ying smiled and said, "There's no need to treat me to a meal. Just let Jin Changfeng come here. Jin Changfeng is getting on in years. You don't want him to stay single forever, do you? The sooner he settles down, the more at ease you, as his sister, will feel, right?"
Jin Changqing nodded with a smile. She naturally hoped that her older brother could get married and have children soon. Moreover, Zhu Ying was really good, with a good job and a good family background, and she was a good match for her older brother.
"By the way, Changqing, what time is your train? Do you want me to see you off?" Zhu Ying asked.
"No need, you work hard too, take a rest when you have time. I'll stay at a guesthouse near the train station tonight, I won't be late tomorrow." Jin Changqing patted Zhu Ying to reassure her.
After saying goodbye to Zhu Ying, Jin Changqing went home, picked up her pre-packed luggage, added a few days' worth of chicken feed and water, locked the gate, and left.
Little did she know that leaving home was easy, but returning was difficult, and when she came back, the mistress of the house would have changed.
That day, Wenxi had just returned home when she saw a strange woman standing outside her gate. Confused, she asked, "Comrade, who are you looking for?"
"Hello, I am Jin Changfeng's younger sister, Jin Changqing. I'm here to see Wenxi. I heard that my brother entrusted the house to her for care." Jin Changqing looked at the pretty young girl in front of her and was a little surprised. This girl was really good-looking.
"So you're Sister Changqing! Hello, I'm Wenxi." Wenxi said with a smile. "Brother Jin told me about you. Actually, Brother Jin took me in as his sister so that I would have an identity to help him look after the house. I'll go get the key for you now."
Wen Xi took out her key to open the courtyard gate, went back into the house and took out the key to Jin Changfeng's house. "Sister Changqing, would you like to come to my house to rest for a while, or go directly to the house next door?"
"No need, I'll go to my older brother's place instead!" Jin Changqing said resolutely.
She wasn't familiar with Wen Xi, so going to Wen Xi's house would be too awkward!
"Sister Changqing, I often clean the house next door. It's very clean and you can move in right away. You just got back, so if you need any help, you can come and find me." Wenxi escorted Jin Changqing over.
She only showed kindness to Jin Changqing because she saw that Jin Changqing meant her no harm. After all, Jin Changfeng had always treated her like a younger sister, so she should be nicer to Jin Changqing.
