Lin Xiaoxiao also had a good impression of Li Qiutang. After seeing how Li Qiutang handled that matter last time, she felt that she was decisive and efficient, and also very good-looking. Just her face alone would make her stand out in a crowd. But it was her personal charm that Lin Xiaoxiao found most admirable.
The four of them chatted for a few minutes, but Li Qiutang still had work to do and couldn't stay there for long. "Xiaoxiao, you can come find me next time you need a check-up, and I can help you get in line first."
Lin Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded: "Okay, then I'll trouble you."
After finishing her conversation, Li Qiutang said goodbye and headed into the hospital. Han Qiulin said, "Wait for me," and immediately chased after Li Qiutang. They chatted for quite a while before Han Qiulin reluctantly got into the car.
The atmosphere in Han Qiulin's car was very high throughout the journey. Lin Xiaoxiao was pregnant with twins, and Han Qiulin's pursuit of his girlfriend was going well, so it was a double celebration.
Back home, Han Qiulin, always the loudest voice, shouted, "Mom!!"
"All you do all day is call for Mom, call for Mom. What's going on?" Bai Hehua came out to see what was happening and saw that everyone had bright smiles on their faces. She smiled back and said, "You're all smiling like flowers. What good thing has happened?"
Han Qiulin quickly stopped Lin Xiaoxiao and Han Qiushi, and said with a grin to Bai Hehua, "Guess?"
"Guess, guess, guess my ass! If you're not going to tell me, fine, you're busy all day long." Bai Hehua went up and slapped Han Qiulin twice.
"Mom, you're not fun at all," Han Qiulin said, dodging Bai Hehua's hand, sounding aggrieved.
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at her and laughed, "Mom, Qiushi and I went to the hospital for a checkup. I'm pregnant with twins."
"Huh?" Bai Hehua was stunned upon hearing this. She had been chasing after Han Qiulin, but now she suddenly stopped, her expression unusually excited: "Xiaoxiao, you mean... you're pregnant with twins?"
"Yes, when I went for my prenatal checkup, the doctor said there were two embryos in my belly and that the two babies were very healthy."
"Thank God! We have twins in our family! This is truly... truly..." Bai Hehua was so excited that she couldn't speak coherently.
Seeing Grandpa Han come out, she couldn't help but excitedly tell him, "Dad, Xiaoxiao is carrying twins."
"What?" Upon hearing this, Grandpa Han stopped in his tracks and quickly walked towards Lin Xiaoxiao and the others. "Really?"
Seeing them all nod, Old Master Han was overjoyed: "Good, good, good! Our Han family is truly blessed!" After saying this, he gave Xiaoxiao several words of advice, then, thinking of the twins the Han family had produced, Old Master Han let out a long sigh of relief.
"Hmph, those old men are shameless, saying that my Han family is small. I'll tell them about these twins right now and see who envies whom." After saying that, Old Master Han puffed out his chest and walked outside impatiently.
Those old men always show off in front of him, now it's his turn to show off.
After the group returned to the house, Bai Hehua ruthlessly shooed Han Qiushi away from sitting next to Lin Xiaoxiao, and sat down next to Lin Xiaoxiao herself. After hesitating for two seconds, she said, "Xiaoxiao, having twins is a wonderful thing, but double the surprise also brings double the hardship."
"Don't schedule too many things for yourself during this period. Make sure to rest well. If you want to eat something, just tell me, and Mom will get it for you. If you need any help, don't be shy about asking."
"Mom, I'm really healthy. You and Qiushi are both too nervous. Don't worry, I'll definitely tell you if anything happens." Lin Xiaoxiao genuinely felt that the lack of physical strain during her twin pregnancy was probably due to drinking too much spiritual spring water, which made her constitution exceptionally good.
Seeing that Lin Xiaoxiao looked well and was eating and drinking well, Bai Hehua didn't say anything to spoil the mood. She simply called Han Qiushi out alone, gave him some instructions, and went back to the kitchen to prepare food for Xiaoxiao.
Not long after, Han Chengjun and the others also learned that Lin Xiaoxiao was pregnant with twins, and they quickly congratulated Han Qiushi and his wife.
"Qiushi, Xiaoxiao, is there anything you need at home? I'll send it to you when I get back." Han Chengjun brought back quite a few things this time, including grain coupons and cloth coupons, and gave a lot to the Central Bank.
"Uncle, we don't need anything right now. We'll ask you when we really need something," Han Qiushi replied with a smile.
Summer Day also offered a few words of congratulations. Seeing that Bai Hehua had brought out all sorts of delicious food, and thinking that her family could also benefit from the feast, she generously took some things out of her own room.
Bai Hehua was genuinely happy, completely forgetting the old man's words about living frugally for the next few days. She cooked lunch almost like it was New Year's Day.
She first made a stew, which included not only pork belly but also two high-quality spare ribs, and several eggs.
They also stewed the goose that Xiaoxiao had brought back a few days ago. Because there were many people, they cooked the whole goose.
The third dish is made from sea shrimp brought over in the summer, all of which were steamed.
In addition to shrimp, Bai Hehua also prepared fish, and finally a vegetarian dish.
Han Qiushi also went out and bought a bottle of wine and a beverage.
This meal was the most sumptuous in a while. Before we started eating, everyone raised their glasses in a very ceremonial way, happily wishing the couple well.
"With a child, it will truly be a proper family, Qiushi. The responsibilities on your shoulders will become heavier in the future. Be careful when you go on missions, and don't forget that your wife and children are waiting for you at home." Old Master Han said, taking a sip of his wine.
Han Qiushi nodded in agreement, "Grandpa, I know, I will be more careful in the future."
Grandpa didn't actually need to remind him of these things; he had already considered many of them.
Seeing that Han Qiushi understood, Old Master Han turned his gaze to Han Qiulin, who was engrossed in eating, and seeing that the boy still looked clueless, asked, "Qiulin, what are your plans? Your brother already has a child, what about you?"
"Grandpa, didn't I tell you? I'm pursuing someone, and it takes time to formally acknowledge someone's marriage." Han Qiulin quickly explained, trying to shut the old man up, seeing the pressure to get married directed at him.
"So tell me, when are you going to get married this year?"
Han Qiulin felt that the old man's question was unreasonable. "Grandpa, how can you say for sure about this?"
"You're usually so shameless, why don't you use that same shamelessness when you're pursuing someone?"
"It's not the right time yet. When the time comes, I will definitely bring him back immediately." Putting aside Han Qiulin's previous actions at the hospital, the fact that he went to see her today and brought her gifts makes his meaning very clear.
Seeing his tactful refusal, Li Qiutang didn't do it for any other reason than that she had just experienced betrayal from a scumbag boyfriend and her sister. She couldn't accept another man so quickly. Even if she wanted to start a new relationship, she needed time to think things through carefully.
The reason Li Qiutang still communicates with Han Qiulin is because Han Qiulin's persistent pursuit and assertiveness give Li Qiutang a strange sense of security, making it impossible for her to push him away.
