Ruan Yunxi politely declined, but gave Xiao Yingtao and the others the fried dough sticks and snacks she had bought in the city: "No need, we bought food and we can just heat it up and eat it."
Sister-in-law Sheng didn't worry about that much and asked, "How did the examination go? What did the doctor say?"
Ruan Yunxi also wanted to share her joy with someone. Even though it wasn't confirmed yet, Ruan Yunxi knew that it was almost certain she was pregnant with twins. She smiled and said, "The doctor said to wait and see what happens after this period of morning sickness."
"I see!"
Ruan Yunxi nodded: "Sister-in-law, I have good news to tell you. Don't tell anyone else. Wait until it's confirmed before you tell me."
Sister-in-law Sheng became interested: "What good news?"
Ruan Yunxi smiled and covered her stomach, saying, "The doctor said I might be having twins."
"Twins?" Sister-in-law Sheng was shocked. Looking at her flat stomach, Ruan Yunxi was thin and her belly was not noticeable. If she hadn't straightened her back, you wouldn't have been able to tell that she was already slightly protruding.
Ruan Yunxi smiled and nodded: "The doctor is not sure yet."
"Those are twins. Doctors are always cautious when they speak." Sister-in-law Sheng knew the doctors' nature; they spoke like this for the sake of the patients, mainly because they were afraid that the patients would have too high expectations. If the diagnosis was wrong, wouldn't it be a waste of their joy?
"That's good to know. We'll confirm it again next month," Ruan Yunxi said happily.
Sister-in-law Sheng patted her hand: "Congratulations! I hope it's twins, a boy and a girl."
"That's what I think too. If I have one boy and one girl, I won't have a second child. I used to want to have more children, but now it seems I was overestimating myself." Ruan Yunxi has been quiet since she got pregnant once.
Sister-in-law Sheng didn't want to have more children. She already had a son and a daughter, and she just wanted to raise them to adulthood.
She's the one who suffers from having so many children, while her in-laws think she's enjoying a life of luxury in the family compound!
Is raising children a blissful experience?
The two chatted for a while, then Gu Weizhou came to call them back for dinner, and Ruan Yunxi finally went home.
As soon as Ruan Yunxi left, Sister-in-law Sheng instructed Xiao Yingtao and the others not to bump into Ruan Yunxi or cause any trouble in front of her, as she was pregnant and needed to be careful.
Little Cherry nodded, and later walked with Ruan Yunxi, wishing she could support her.
Unfortunately, she was so small that Ruan Yunxi had to pull her along.
After Ruan Yunxi returned, she continued to rest and recuperate during her pregnancy. As for food, she could only rely on the nanny.
Ruan Yunxi's tastes are very changeable. One day she wants to eat something sour, the next day she wants something spicy, and the day after that she wants something sticky or chewy. Or she wants something with a strange taste that she used to dislike, such as dandelion, shepherd's purse, and houttuynia cordata.
She ate a cold dish of houttuynia cordata prepared by her sister-in-law in the family compound, and she thought it tasted good.
Unfortunately, there isn't much houttuynia cordata here.
Even if there are any, they are a patch planted by my sister-in-law from your province.
Ruan Yunxi wanted to eat it, so Gu Weizhou had to step in and take the eggs to exchange for houttuynia cordata.
He even went to the field to dig up houttuynia cordata himself, washed it clean, and made a cold salad for Ruan Yunxi to eat.
Gu Weizhou ate a small piece, but the smell was unbearable for him.
Gu Weizhou almost threw up.
Strangely enough, Ruan Yunxi ate with great relish.
She used to be such a picky eater!
They're picky eaters now, just at two extremes.
People used to want to eat good food, but now they want to eat things that taste weird.
She spent her days eating, drinking, and sleeping at home, occasionally causing a little trouble for Gu Weizhou. On the appointed day to go to the hospital, Ruan Yunxi drove herself, with Gu Weizhou in the back and the nanny in the passenger seat. With the car window open, she could no longer smell Gu Weizhou's scent.
It's been about four months now, and Ruan Yunxi's morning sickness isn't as severe anymore. As long as she's careful, she can still tolerate contact with Gu Weizhou.
When they arrived at the hospital, it was the same doctor who had treated Ruan Yunxi.
After taking the pulse and listening to the fetal heartbeats, confirming two heartbeats, the doctor smiled and congratulated, "It's twins! Your belly has grown quite a bit in just one month, and your complexion has improved as well. Keep it up! You're still a bit malnourished, so even if you vomit, you need to eat something nutritious. See if you can get some milk. I'll give you a certificate; with this, you can get a bottle of milk every day!"
"Thank you, doctor." Ruan Yunxi still had milk in her spatial storage; it looked like she would drink it when she got home tonight.
She had tried it before, but couldn't really drink it because it tasted rusty.
Try it tonight and see if the taste has changed.
