Qi Jingchen called his mother and said that Qin Zifu was hungry. Yan Li hung up the phone and started telling the housekeeper and nanny to start cooking, and the house instantly became lively.
"What's going on? Is there a war?"
"War has broken out! War has broken out!"
"Qi Zheng, just shut up those two birds, they're so annoying, they learn everything."
Qi Zheng silently placed the two birds in the yard and then returned.
"What's wrong? Why are you cooking so early? Didn't you just finish breakfast?"
Your son and daughter-in-law will be back soon.
"...Isn't your daughter-in-law my daughter-in-law?"
What kind of word game is this?
"Fufu is hungry. Jingchen said he had over ten vials of blood drawn on an empty stomach."
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"The file has been created; many tests are needed now."
"Set up files? Oh, okay, then hurry up and do it, do a lot of them."
Qi Zheng didn't understand these things very well; he only knew that he had drawn too much blood and needed to replenish it.
Qi Jingchen and Qin Zifu arrived at the Qi family home in less than an hour. Yan Li had someone prepare six dishes and a soup at that time, but the meat dishes were delivered from the restaurant.
"I didn't have time to make braised pork; it would have taken at least two hours to stew, so I went out to buy it."
"That's enough, Mom. You've made so many dishes in such a short time."
"Sit down and eat. Have a bowl of soup first. It's easy to catch a cold breeze coming in from outside, which can upset your stomach. Pregnant women are most afraid of getting an upset stomach; it's so uncomfortable."
Thank you, Mom.
Qin Zifu took the soup and drank half a bowl.
"When is the next prenatal checkup after I register for prenatal care today?"
"The next NT scan will be done around 12 weeks, probably on New Year's Day. The baby will be much clearer then."
"Oh, did you have an ultrasound today?"
"We took pictures. Jingchen said they look more like human now."
"What are you saying? What do you mean by 'act like a human being'?"
Yan Li glared at Qi Jingchen, but Qi Jingchen acted as if he didn't see it and continued eating.
Qin Zifu took out the ultrasound report from her bag and gave it to Yan Li.
"They're actually starting to look like something else, unlike last time, when one looked like a bean and the other like an eggplant. Old Qi, take a look."
Let me see.
The two took turns looking at it, and it really did look like a human being.
"Do you have anything else planned for this afternoon?"
"I have to go back to the hospital this afternoon; the medical records aren't finished yet."
I'll go with you later.
"You still don't feel at ease with me here?"
Qi Jingchen raised an eyebrow. Didn't she say a few years ago that she, as his mother-in-law, would definitely keep her distance after he got married? What happened to the distance?
"What? I haven't accompanied Fufu to her prenatal checkup yet! I don't have anything to do at home."
"That works too, let's go together this afternoon."
"See, Fufu is so much better. What's wrong with me accompanying Fufu to her prenatal checkups? You're just blocking my way."
"What language are you speaking? What dialect are you using?"
"I've been watching too much Douyin lately, and I've mixed up all the local dialects."
Ever since Qin Zifu recommended online shopping through live streaming, Yan Li has enjoyed watching videos and buying things from live streams whenever she has free time.
"Come on, Fufu, have some roast duck."
Yan Li rolled up a roast duck roll, put cucumber strips, cantaloupe strips, and two slices of meat inside, dipped it in some sauce, rolled it up, and handed it to her. She could eat meat again without feeling too greasy.
"Thank you, Mom. You and Dad should eat too."
"Yes, these shrimp pastes were made by our housekeeper using fresh shrimp, they're very fresh, you should try some."
Yan Li then placed another plate of shrimp stuffed with chili peppers on her plate.
"It's delicious. I've been eating too much lately, and I'm wondering if I should control my weight. I heard that you have to control your weight if you're pregnant with twins."
"You don't look like you've gained weight, so you should be fine, right?"
"It's said that you don't need to gain weight in the first three months because the embryo is very small and doesn't need much nutrition, so there's no need to deliberately increase your food intake."
"Then eat until you're about 70-80% full at each meal. Eat a little when you're hungry, don't push yourself too hard, as low blood sugar is common during pregnancy."
When Yan Li was pregnant, she was quite busy with work and once suffered from hypoglycemia. After that, Qi Zheng took good care of her and made sure she ate well every day.
"Yes, I've almost returned to my normal appetite recently."
Qin Zifu's appetite has been incredibly good lately.
She hadn't eaten breakfast, so Qi Jingchen hadn't eaten either, sitting next to her and eating slowly. Qin Zifu didn't need his help at the moment, but Qin Zifu herself even put some stir-fried shrimp balls in his bowl.
"This is delicious."
"Are you sure you don't need to hire a nanny to take care of you?"
Yan Li was genuinely worried that Qin Zifu wouldn't be able to eat anything she liked every day. She didn't know if her son's cooking was really that good, and sometimes she felt that her daughter-in-law's standards were too low.
"How about we arrange one?"
Qin Zifu thought about it for a moment. She knew she would have to make arrangements sooner or later. This way, Qi Jingchen wouldn't have to cook all the time, and Xiaoqi wouldn't have to be so nervous every time she ate Qi Jingchen's cooking.
"Okay, I'll make the arrangements. After you finish eating, go back to your rooms and rest for a while. We'll go to the hospital together this afternoon."
"OK"
After finishing her meal, Qin Zifu went out to play with the two parrots for a while.
"If you want to play with them, take them inside; it's cold outside."
"It's okay, we'll be inside soon, I'm done playing."
Parrot: I'm cold, I want to go inside!
Qin Zifu and Qi Jingchen turned around and went back, leaving the two parrots bewildered in the wind.
After resting for a while, Qin Zifu, Qi Jingchen, and Yan Li went to the hospital together.
First, they went to the machine to pick up the results, and then the three of them went to Qin Qingwan's office.
"Mother-in-law"
When Yan Li entered, she greeted Qin Qingwan first. Qin Qingwan looked up when she heard the voice and then saw Yan Li.
"Why did you come along? Please have a seat."
The two didn't have many opportunities to meet, and were still in a relatively polite phase, addressing each other with respectful terms like "you" and "you".
"I came to see them; they said Fufu had a lot of blood drawn today during her registration period."
"They drew quite a lot of blood, but that's how it is when you first register for prenatal care. It'll get better in the future. This is the most blood they've drawn in all my prenatal checkups."
"After receiving the call, I quickly made them something nice to eat to help them recover."
"So that's why they left; they went to your place for a nice meal."
"I should have brought some; look at my memory, I forgot."
"No need, no need to bring me any, I can eat in the cafeteria."
Qin Zifu and Qi Jingchen listened quietly to the two exchanging polite pleasantries, unable to get a word in edgewise.
After exchanging pleasantries, the two began to get down to business.
"Here's a folder. You'll put all your prenatal checkup reports in here. Take it with you every time you have a checkup."
"oh"
Qin Zifu took the clip and put the examination forms she had received into it one by one in chronological order.
"Is Fufu alright?"
Yan Li found it quite amusing that the mother and daughter really acted like a doctor and patient.
"There shouldn't be any problem. I'm young, usually in good health, and I didn't experience any discomfort during my previous pregnancy, so there's no genetic issue."
"That's good, that's good. Although I've never been pregnant with twins, I know how difficult and risky it is."
Don't be too nervous, modern medicine is very advanced.
"well"
Yan Li was relieved. Qin Zifu secretly smiled, feeling that Yan Li was like her own mother, constantly asking questions, while Qin Qingwan remained calm.
