As expected, the moment the news broke the next day, the entrance to Shili Xiang was practically swarmed with people.
Besides those who knew they had spent enough money, a large crowd of onlookers had gathered around.
A long table was set up at the entrance, with a large wooden box placed steadily on it, and Wang Lin stood behind the table, holding a booklet in her hand.
"Ladies and gentlemen, now we are announcing the list of those who have met the criteria for the first two months. When I call your name, please come forward and draw a wooden stick from the box. If you draw a stick with a stamp on it, you are the winner of this prize."
"There are five wooden tags with stamps in this box, which means that there are five distinguished guests present today who will receive a medium-sized pregnancy result."
"The number of wooden sticks is the same as the number of people who have met the target. To ensure fairness, we will determine the order of the draw based on the amount of spending, from most to least."
Good luck to everyone!
After Wang Lin finished speaking, there was another uproar around her, with some complaining and others cheering.
As the event began, Wang Lin read out the first person's name.
"The head of the Li family." She looked into the crowd.
A middle-aged woman squeezed out.
"Manager Wang, I am the steward of the Li family. You should still remember me, right? I'm drawing lots for our master."
She walked over with a grin, rubbed her hands together, slowly reached inside, stirred them around for a while, and then took them out.
The first thing you see is a splash of red.
"Congratulations, Steward Qian, congratulations, Patriarch Li, you won on the first draw."
Wang Lin's eyes lit up, and she happily took the wooden skewer from her hand to show it to everyone before finally placing it on a tray beside her.
He lifted the red cloth from another tray and took a fruit from it for her.
"And congratulations to the Li family head on the birth of his daughter!"
"!"
"What incredible luck! Getting it on the very first draw! It must be a joke!"
As the plump, pregnant fruit fell into the hands of the steward of the Li family, the surrounding people widened their eyes, their longing palpable.
The surrounding area became noisy and bustling.
These ordinary people usually could only buy inferior fruits by chance. Apart from the government distributing them when they came of age, they never thought that they would be so close to getting medium-grade pregnant fruits like they are today.
Those who met the requirements were eager to try their luck, while those who did not meet the requirements were determined to invest heavily in Shili Xiang.
The event went very smoothly, and more and more people gathered around. Some were happy while others were sad. The "Ten Mile Fragrance" event spread throughout Tianhe County and, within a few days, even reached outside the city.
Both the main store and its branches made a fortune.
Looking down at the bustling crowd, Su Qinghe closed the window and gave Wang Lin a thumbs up for registering the information of regular customers.
...
Half of the first month of the new year has passed in the blink of an eye. In the past few days, apart from being busy with the restaurant business and preparing for the wedding banquet, Su Qinghe has spent all her remaining time taking care of the two men who are pregnant.
Since men here only need seven months to give birth, the two of them are now almost two months along, and their bellies are already showing obvious signs of pregnancy.
Ji Yuan is also starting to experience pregnancy symptoms. He has recently developed a strong craving for sour foods, while Lin Xi remains as sleepy as ever.
Nighttime, Wei Rui Pavilion.
Ji Qingyu opened the door furtively. He peeked out from the doorway and saw Sanqi running in, panting heavily. He quickly went up to ask her what was wrong.
"So? Did you see her?"
Sanqi took a few deep breaths and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Phew... My lord, the head of the family is already on his way..."
"Oh? Then let's hurry, I need to go to my brother's place!"
Ji Qingyu let out a wail, grabbed Sanqi who had just caught her breath, and ran along another path to Ji Yuan's courtyard.
Inside the Qu Shui Xuan Pavilion.
Bored, Ji Qingyu lay down next to Ji Yuan and watched him do the accounts.
"What are you doing here so late?" Ji Yuan looked up at him with a puzzled expression.
"Of course it's because I miss my brother!"
Ji Qingyu blinked twice and grinned. "Brother, I want to sleep with you tonight."
"No way." Ji Yuan refused without looking up. "You sleep restlessly, you'll kick me."
Ji Qingyu's face fell, and she tugged at his sleeve, shaking it gently. "Then I can sleep on the small couch next to you, is that alright, brother?"
Just as Ji Yuan was about to speak, Su Qinghe's voice came from outside the door.
“That’s where Mu Dong has been sleeping recently. It’s inconvenient for your brother to get up at night, so Mu Dong has to take care of him at night.”
As Su Qinghe stepped into the room, she immediately saw Ji Qingyu looking at her in a panic.
"I bet you're here!"
She curled her lips into a smile and walked a few steps to the two of them.
"The wife."
Ji Yuan put down the ledger in his hand, looked up and looked at her gently.
Su Qinghe's heart softened, and she went over to massage his shoulders.
“Ah Yuan, don’t overwork yourself. There’s no rush to finish reading the account books in a few days. If you really don’t want to read them, just give them to Zhang Fu.”
"Don't worry, my lady, I know what I'm doing." Feeling the gentle touch on his shoulder, Ji Yuan gratefully patted Su Qinghe's hand.
"My lady must be here to keep my brother company tonight, right? Then I won't disturb you any longer and will head back now!"
Seeing the intimate atmosphere between the two, Ji Qingyu's eyes darted around, and she quickly got up, said something, and was about to run outside.
"stop."
Su Qinghe spoke slowly, glancing at him. Only after he turned around did she speak again with a smile.
“I came here specifically to find you. Let me talk to your brother for a while, and then we’ll leave together.”
Seeing Su Qinghe's innocent expression, Ji Qingyu stiffly forced a smile.
“Since my wife is not staying with my brother tonight, I would like to stay with him tonight. I can sleep in the small room next door. I’m afraid I can’t stay with my wife tonight.”
