The original plan was to go back after the Lantern Festival, but because Lu Shishen was worried, she stayed in the army for another half a month.

It was not until early February that Lu Shishen sent her back to the courtyard. Before leaving the army, she went to the military doctor to check her pulse. There was no surprise, she was indeed pregnant.

Lu Shishen was worried, so he took her to the hospital for a check-up and hired a nanny. For safety reasons, he asked the nanny to come back home in two days. Two days was enough for him to investigate the other party's family background.

Yang Niannian felt that raising a child was expensive, so she took advantage of Lu Shishen's free time and took him to the antique market.

The two had come here many times. Although they dressed very low-key every time and even wore sunglasses and hats, the antique shop owners were also smart people. They recognized the two but did not show off. They took out new goods as soon as they had them.

Lu Shishen can only identify objects with a long history, and the things the two had collected before were all very valuable.

Now that she is pregnant, Yang Niannian has more ideas, and she even bought a lot of copper coins from the Qing Dynasty and large silver dollars from the Republic of China.

These things might only be worth tens of thousands of yuan at most in the 21st century, but a mosquito is still meat, so she bought a bunch of them.

Yang Niannian looked at the room full of treasures, her eyes narrowed into crescents, "I have to take over the Lingxin land this time, or there will be no room for all these things."

Lu Shishen closed the door and led her to the bedroom door. "You take a rest first. I'll go out and find out about the auction."

Yu Sui only roughly told the registration time for the auction but didn't specify the day. He felt it was inappropriate to bother others all the time, so he decided to go and see it in person.

Yang Niannian has been feeling lazy lately, and since someone else was out doing something, she didn’t want to run around, so she waved her hand.

"Go ahead! I'll call home and tell them the good news."

If you are pregnant, you always have to tell your relatives and friends. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be shocking to announce the good news suddenly after the baby is born?

Lu Shishen nodded, glanced at Xiao Hei who was curled up at Yang Niannian's feet, and gave the order.

"Take good care of the house."

Xiao Hei stood up, wagged his tail, barked, and followed Yang Niannian into the bedroom.

Yang Niannian originally wanted to call Zheng Xinyue first, but then she thought that Zheng Xinyue should still be at work, so she called Jiang Yang first.

Jiang Yang was not at home, and it was Jiang Yueyue who answered the phone. When she heard that Yang Niannian was pregnant, Jiang Yueyue jumped up and down excitedly, asking Jiang Yang to take her to Beijing.

"Sister, I want to go see you with my brother. I saved a lot of New Year's money and will use it to buy toys for the baby."

Yang Niannian was amused by Yueyue's childish words, "You are still a child, just save money and spend it on yourself! Don't think about buying things for the baby."

Jiang Yueyue said in the tone of a little adult.

"No, I'm an aunt now and I have to prepare gifts for the younger generation. I can't eat candy anymore, it's for children."

Yang Niannian laughed out loud, and the two chatted for more than ten minutes before they hung up the phone reluctantly.

She dialed her home number again. Guan Ailian answered the phone. She asked loudly, "Sister-in-law, is that you?"

Yang Niannian's ears were itchy from Guan Ailian's loud voice, so she quickly moved the phone further away. She heard a lot of noise on the other end of the line, all of which were Ma Xiuzhu's insults.

Strangely said.

"Who is the mother-in-law arguing with?"

Guan Ailian covered her left ear with her hand, and could barely hear what Yang Niannian said with her right ear. She spoke in a loud voice.

"Matchmaker Wang from Dawang Village is a bit blind. She actually said that Shi Shen is gone and wanted to introduce you to a husband's family. But my mother-in-law had a quarrel with her."

It was just the beginning of the first month of the year and Wang the matchmaker brought this up. Not only was my mother-in-law angry, she was also very angry.

Yang Niannian's eyes twitched, "Has Wang the matchmaker's information been blocked? Doesn't she know that what happened before the New Year was a misunderstanding?"

Guan Ailian, "Her son opened a steamed bun shop in Jiangcheng. She went there to celebrate the New Year before the Lunar New Year. She just came back a few days ago. I don't know where she heard the news, but she rushed to our house in a hurry."

Yang Niannian, "..."

Fortunately, Lu Shishen didn’t know, otherwise he would be very depressed.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Guan Ailian continued speaking.

"Sister-in-law, it's a good thing you reminded us to ask our family to go and watch over the pond. The temperature warmed up a few days ago, and the ice on the pond melted a lot. My father-in-law thought that no one would go there at noon, so he went home to take a nap. As a result, when he went there in the afternoon, he happened to see a few naughty children from the next village playing in the water. One of them fell into the ice eye. My father fished the child out of the water, and the child's lips were frozen purple."

"If no one found this, the baby would have been left there. I'm scared when I think about it now. My father-in-law didn't even dare to come back for lunch these few days. It was all sent by Qingyuan."

Not to mention that her father-in-law was scared, her legs went limp when she heard about it, and her mother-in-law was so angry that she ran to the other village to curse.

Although there are signs prohibiting people from entering the water in the pond, they are of no use in the countryside. Many people cannot read a single word, and even if they can, they pretend not to see it. The most effective way is to guard against it.

Fortunately, it is winter now and no one goes there at night and in the morning, so we just need to guard it during the day. If it were summer, we would have to guard it all night.

Yang Niannian was also frightened after hearing this. "Fortunately you and your elder brother listened to my advice. Sister-in-law, I asked you to watch the fish pond not only because I was afraid that the children would drown. Another reason was to prevent outsiders from doing bad things and poisoning the pond. People's hearts are hidden, so it's always better to be careful."

Guan Ailian broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this. "Sister-in-law, you are really thoughtful. Why didn't I think of this?"

Yang Niannian, "You and my elder brother are both kind-hearted people. You have never intended to harm anyone, so you don't think human nature is that bad."

Guan Ailian smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, please stop comforting me. In fact, your elder brother and I are both stupid and not smart enough. Fortunately, you and Shi Shen are here to help us steer the ship."

Yang Niannian didn't expect Guan Ailian to describe herself like this. She couldn't help but smile and said casually.

"Sister-in-law, I'm calling you this time to tell you the good news. I just came back from the hospital and I've been confirmed to be pregnant for more than a month."

"What?" Guan Ailian was stunned for a moment, then asked excitedly, "Sister-in-law, are you really pregnant?"

Without waiting for Yang Niannian to answer, she turned around and shouted at Ma Xiuzhu who was arguing in the yard.

"Mom, stop arguing. My sister-in-law called to tell me the good news. She's pregnant."

Ma Xiuzhu was in the middle of a quarrel. When she heard what her eldest daughter-in-law said, she yelled, "It doesn't matter who's pregnant. Today, I..."

Halfway through the conversation, he suddenly realized something, turned around and stared at his eldest daughter-in-law who was answering the phone in the main room and asked, "Who are you saying is pregnant?"

Guan Ailian shouted happily, "My sister-in-law is pregnant."

When Ma Xiuzhu heard this, she no longer cared about arguing with Wang the matchmaker, and ran to the main room with her hips twisted.
