As Su Nuo spoke, she ordered. "You can't just order the white radish that comes with the set meal. You have to order fried chicken and rice cakes too."
"So what do you want to eat then?"
"That's a lot, and there will be things we don't usually eat, but we'll crave them then."
"So, what do you suddenly crave: snacks or things you'd rather avoid?"
"I don't know about others, but I ate them all. I ate spicy snacks, cola, and ice cream. Pregnancy is already hard enough. If I can't eat what I want, what's the fun in it?"
"That makes a lot of sense."
"Just like with dieting, long-term self-restraint can easily lead to binge eating, so it's better to eat normally from the beginning. However, it also depends on your physical condition."
Su Nuo didn't know what others were like, and didn't dare to say anything recklessly. She only talked about her own situation at the time, since she was the only one among the seven who had given birth, and she was just sharing some experience.
Will your parents stop you?
"No, only the nanny knows. She said it's best not to eat it and she'll call back to the old house to tell them."
"Is it the one who was transferred from President Zhou's family?"
"Um"
"And then what? Did you call home, and then your parents tried to stop you?"
Qin Zifu was not in the capital at the time; she only heard a little about it from her occasionally and did not know the specifics.
"No, they didn't tell me what I couldn't eat. Even if they did, I probably wouldn't listen. So I sent that nanny back. I told her to wait until her daughter marries Mr. Zhou and gets pregnant with his child before she takes over. By the way, what kind of sauce do you want for the fried chicken? Honey mustard or sweet and spicy?"
"Sweet and spicy, right? It's not good if it's not spicy. Does that nanny's daughter really think that way?"
Qin Zifu lowered her voice to the lowest level and asked Su Nuo, who nodded.
"Yes, that's the idea; it shows ambition."
"Does Mr. Zhou know about this?"
"I don't know if he knows or hasn't thought about this issue."
The three chatted and ordered food. What was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener. Without Qin Zifu and Tang Shuyu, Zhou Yixing couldn't hear anything about Su Nuo from her, so he cherished every opportunity to talk about her.
Zhou Yixing frowned. For years, he had no idea that a nanny had ever wanted to take care of him. The key question was, what had she just said? Who would have his child? He hadn't heard clearly.
What should my son eat? I'm too lazy to go downstairs and cook, and even if I did, he wouldn't eat well.
Do you offer baby meals for delivery?
"I don't know, I haven't seen it."
Su Nuo searched it up and was surprised to find that things had become so convenient.
"Wow, there really is one! Does that mean I won't have to cook for him anymore?"
Su Nuo quickly ordered a steamed egg custard set meal, which also included spinach pancakes and pork floss porridge.
After the food arrived, Qin Zifu ate half of a hamburger with pickles, which she found very appetizing.
"These white radishes are delicious too, sweet and sour."
"I think this white radish tastes good because it's soaked in Sprite; you just want a drink, right?"
"See through it but don't say it."
Qin Zifu put the radish in her mouth; it was sweet, sour, and crisp, making her feel like she could eat a few more bites of her hamburger.
"It's been a long time since I've had this burger."
Ling Zhiyi never expected that there would be another day when seven people would be eating hamburgers together.
"Mr. Ling usually eats too much good food, can't handle simple meals anymore?"
"No, no, we don't have that. I think the hamburger is quite delicious."
What's there to complain about when it's free?
None of us are pretentious people; pretentious people wouldn't get along, and we don't have any inhibitions.
"I'm learning prenatal yoga, do you want to practice with me?"
"Yes, exercising helps maintain my figure and makes childbirth easier."
"Then we'll train with you."
Su Nuo and Tang Shuyu have been getting more and more into yoga lately.
Qin Zifu was about to agree immediately.
Let's stop there.
Qi Jingchen was initially embarrassed to interrupt, since it was his best friend's good intention, but he was genuinely afraid of these two half-baked individuals. Su Nuo was slightly better, but Tang Shuyu was even worse.
Three people were looking at him—no, six people were looking at him.
"It's not that they can't practice, but should we see how far they've progressed before deciding?"
Qi Jingchen tried to be as tactful as possible.
"Oh, while the two of us might not be up to it, our teacher is! We can ask her for help; she's incredibly capable."
So that's what I was worried about. Are those two really that unreliable? Even if you asked them to train Qin Zifu, they wouldn't dare.
"That's a good idea. I'll look into it then."
"Can we continue our conversation now?"
Tang Shuyu waited for Qi Jingchen's reply.
"Okay, you can continue. I won't bother you any longer."
I don't know why, but the last two sentences were quite polite.
The rhythm of gatherings with pregnant women is such that it can't be late; after a short get-together during the day, we disperse early in the evening.
Qin Zifu herself has no feeling about it, but now everyone treats her as a key person to protect.
She needs to go to bed early and get up early, have a balanced diet, and be in a good mood. She shouldn't be tired or busy. If you arrange everything for her clearly, she will be happy to be carefree and at ease. It would be best if you could arrange everything for her.
On the seventh week, Qi Jingchen accompanied Qin Zifu to the hospital again, as they were going to have an ultrasound that day.
This was Qin Zifu's first time having a transvaginal ultrasound.
"Dr. Qin, relax."
The ultrasound doctor sat beside them, while Qin Qingwan and Qi Jingchen stood to the side watching the screen, and Qin Zifu lay on the bed.
"Relax!"
"good"
"ah"
"Yo"
The ultrasound doctor and Qin Qingwan exclaimed almost simultaneously, while Qi Jingchen, who was also looking at the screen, did not react because he did not understand it.
"What's wrong?"
"Double Cashmere Double Sheep"
The ultrasound technician explained the measurements while the assistant recorded them, including the size of the two gestational sacs, the size of the yolk sac, and the length of the embryo.
"Primitive cardiac tube pulsations are visible in both cases, and their size is generally consistent with the gestational age (7 weeks + 1 day)."
Twins?
"Yes, twins. Director Qin also has this gene."
The ultrasound doctor has been working here for over ten years and is a long-time colleague of Qin Qingwan. He also knows a bit about her family.
"thank you"
"Don't be so polite, child. Just wipe yourself down and get up slowly."
The ultrasound doctor pulled out a piece of paper for her.
She got up and dressed. The ultrasound report had already been printed out in duplicate. She needed to keep one copy, and she also needed one copy for her medical record.
Why are you two so silent?
The three of them came out and walked towards Qin Qingwan's office.
"I was pleasantly surprised. Just a few days ago, Tuanzi said I was having a younger brother or sister, but we all thought he hadn't understood our question."
Qin Zifu sat in her office chair, touching her lower abdomen.
"Children are sometimes quite accurate in these things; the due date is earlier than previously calculated, and twins tend to be born earlier."
When would that be?
"Let's see if we can reach 36 weeks, that would be June."
"Okay, the month doesn't matter, as long as it's safe."
Qi Jingchen was naturally happy to be pregnant with twins, but along with her happiness, she also thought that the risks of twins were higher than those of a single pregnancy, and that it would take a lot of strain on her body. No wonder she was sleeping all day long. If the babies grew up, she would be so sleepy that she wouldn't be able to wake up.
