The group went inside and sat down. They had just taken their first bite of food when Wang Aifang rushed over in a flurry.
"Grandpa, Grandma, my older brother and sister-in-law are eating! I've come to pick up Xiaoxuan."
"Aifang! Why don't we eat something together, and then go back?" Grandpa said, putting down his chopsticks.
"No, Grandpa, the meal is already prepared at home, we can't waste it."
After Wang Aifang finished speaking, she seemed to have something more to say, but was too embarrassed to say it.
Anyone in the room could see her distress.
"Aifang, what's wrong? Is there something you can't tell me?" Grandpa asked, puzzled.
"Grandpa and Grandma, it's like this, I'm not planning to send Xiaoxuan over tomorrow. My aunt lives in that courtyard, and she said she'd be willing to help me take care of her. What do you think...?"
Wang Aifang hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth.
After she finished speaking, she secretly glanced at her grandparents, afraid that the two elderly people would be angry.
"Haha! I thought it was nothing. Since we have relatives helping out, that's a good thing. Let me tell you, Xiaowei might be pregnant again. We're under a lot of pressure, and now that someone is sharing the burden, isn't that great!"
Grandpa said with a smile.
They're not stubborn old folks. Since someone is helping them, they won't complain. After all, they're all real relatives, so it doesn't matter who takes care of them.
"What?" Wang Aifang's eyes widened. "Sister-in-law, you're pregnant?"
"Hey! Aifang, don't be like your older brother, all jumpy. We haven't even investigated yet!" Ning Xiaowei couldn't stop smiling.
"Alright, I'll take Xiaoxuan back first and tell Auntie the good news so she can be happy!"
Wang Aifang arrived quickly and left quickly, especially after hearing the good news. She immediately picked up her daughter and returned to the courtyard house.
After Wang Aifang left, the group finished their dinner quietly. Just as Ning Xiaowei was about to clear the dishes, her grandmother shooed her aside, and she became the focus of attention again.
Sun Zhengguo smiled and shook his head, then picked up his son, led his wife, and walked to Doctor Hu's house without even riding a bicycle.
Before long, the family of three arrived at Dr. Hu's house, where they had just finished dinner.
"Uncle Hu and Aunt Hu, you're here! My wife might be pregnant again. Could you please take her pulse?"
As soon as he entered, Sun Zhengguo explained his purpose.
"You're something else! You're still holding her in your arms! Your wife is pregnant again."
Before Dr. Hu could even speak, his son, Hu Shuangquan, started teasing him.
"What nonsense are you spouting? You still call him 'kid'? Look at Zheng Guo, he's already a full-fledged department-level official. And look at you, you can't even handle a book like 'Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases'. If I had an old classmate like you, I'd be ashamed."
Dr. Hu scolded his son, then smiled apologetically, "Zhengguo, I'm sorry you had to see this."
"Uncle Hu, don't be so serious. Shuangquan and I are old classmates, so it doesn't matter how you address me. I'm used to it. Besides, we have different roles in the revolution, so there's no such thing as high or low status."
"That's right, Dad. Look how eloquent Zhengguo is. Unlike you, you either don't say anything at all, or when you do, you're sure to choke people to death."
Seeing that his son did not understand his good intentions, Dr. Hu shook his head without saying a word, but sighed inwardly, "This child lacks experience and needs more guidance in the future."
Afterwards, Dr. Hu led Sun Zhengguo and the others to a small room next door and began to take Ning Xiaowei's pulse.
First, he checked the pulse in the left hand, then the pulse in the right hand. After taking the pulses, Dr. Hu smiled.
"Zhengguo, congratulations! Your wife is pregnant again. Her pulse is stable, which means there are no problems with her health."
"Thank you, Uncle Hu!"
Although Sun Zhengguo was happy, he was not like the first time, so he appeared very calm.
"Well! In that case, I'll prescribe a few more doses of tonics to help with pregnancy. Whether you use them or not depends on your individual situation."
After Dr. Hu finished speaking, he took out a piece of paper and began to write with a brush.
After the prescription was written, Sun Zhengguo took it and, as usual, paid a one-cent consultation fee.
Dr. Hu did not refuse. After all, he was such a high-ranking official, would he really owe you a favor just to save a penny?
"Thank you, Uncle Hu. I'll head back now to tell my mom the good news."
After paying the consultation fee, Sun Zhengguo thanked him again and prepared to go home.
"You're welcome, it's my pleasure," Dr. Hu said politely as he saw Sun Zhengguo and his family to the door.
Because the two courtyards are next to each other, Sun Zhengguo returned to the courtyard in just a few steps.
Meanwhile, the Sun family was already quite a few people sitting there. Besides their own family members, Aunt Chen from the backyard was also visiting with her daughter-in-law.
The reason everyone was there was simple: they knew that Sun Zhengguo would definitely come tonight.
Sure enough, speak of the devil and he appears. When Lin Wencui saw Sun Zhengguo and his family of three, she first snatched her grandson away before asking about the important matter.
"Zhengguo, have you been to Doctor Hu's? What was the result?"
"Mom, congratulations! You're going to be a grandma again, aren't you happy?" Sun Zhengguo was in a good mood and rarely joked with his mother.
"Hehehe! You child, aren't you happy? You're even teasing your mother."
Lin Wencui first rolled her eyes at her son, then warmly inquired about her daughter-in-law.
"Xiaowei, how are you feeling? Is there anything bothering you?"
"Mom, it's the same as always. Apart from feeling nauseous, everything else is fine."
Hearing her daughter-in-law say that, Lin Wencui felt much more at ease. However, she still instructed Sun Zhengguo to accompany his wife to the hospital for a check-up the next day.
Next, a group of women chattered together, talking about nothing but having children.
Unable to get a word in edgewise, Sun Zhengguo decided to ignore the noise and called his younger brother to come to Sun Zhengdong's room. The three of them then started playing cards.
More than an hour later, when Ning Xiaowei came to call him, Sun Zhengguo took his wife and children back to his own courtyard.
The next day was the weekend. Sun Zhengguo's original plan was to break through his current cultivation technique, but now that his wife was pregnant, the cultivation technique had to be put on hold. The important thing was to accompany his wife to the hospital first.
So, early in the morning, the couple handed their son over to his grandparents before riding their bikes to the Sixth People's Hospital.
After arriving at the hospital, I queued up to register. After a series of examinations, it was finally confirmed that the fetus in my womb was 9 weeks old and everything was normal.
After the examination, the two left the hospital. Sun Zhengguo looked at his watch and realized it was still early, just over 9 o'clock, so he said...
"Honey, it's still early. Why don't we go back and pick up Xiao Jie, then take you to your parents' house so Mom can be happy too?"
"Okay! Then hurry up, don't delay my mom from killing the chicken."
"Hahaha!"
Seeing Ning Xiaowei's exaggerated expression, Sun Zhengguo couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Then the two of them got on their bikes, took his wife with them, and headed home.
