Yang Niannian's heart tightened when she saw this, she grabbed his arm and asked, "What happened? Why did you come alone? Where's Yueyue?"

Although Jiang Yang is not very old, he has experienced a lot. He has been dependent on his sister for many years. Unless something happens to his sister, he will not be so fragile.

Especially since Jiang Yang came here without any prior notice, Yang Niannian felt very uneasy, fearing that something might happen to Yueyue.

Jiang Yang saw Yang Niannian's face turn pale all of a sudden. He was afraid of scaring her and affecting the baby in her belly, so he quickly adjusted his mood, sniffed, and answered.

"Sister Nian, don't worry, Yueyue is fine, she is in school."

Yang Niannian felt relieved and asked, "What's wrong with you? Who bullied you? What wronged you?"

Seeing that he looked tired, he was about to pull him into the yard, "Let's go into the yard first."

Jiang Yang stood still, his eyelids red.

"Sister Nian, I won't go in. It's unlucky."

"..." Yang Niannian raised her eyebrows in confusion and asked, "Why is it unlucky?"

Jiang Yang cleared his throat and said, "Sister Nian, do you still remember your classmate who was trafficked to Qingcheng? The gang that sold her has been arrested."

Yang Niannian suddenly had a bad feeling and asked, "Is there any news about your mother?"

Jiang Yang had nothing to do with Meng Ziyu, so it was impossible for her to be sad about Meng Ziyu's affairs. This matter involved the case of trafficking in women, so she guessed it was Jiang Yang's mother.

Jiang Yang nodded, and two big tears rolled down his strong cheeks. He wiped his nose and said.

“The Jingshi police station contacted me and confirmed that my mother was abducted by the same gang that abducted Meng Ziyu… When she ran away, she was caught and beaten to death by those people. Her remains have been dug out from under the bridge pillar.”

He choked up for a moment and continued, "I came here to claim the ashes, which are now in the car. According to the rules of my hometown, I am in mourning now, so it is not appropriate for me to enter your yard directly. It is unlucky."

Yang Niannian guessed the result from Jiang Yang's expression, but she was still a little surprised when she heard him say it.

Seeing Jiang Yang's sad look, she felt bad too.

Jiang Yang couldn't avoid being sad without his biological mother, no matter how much he was persuaded. Yang Niannian could only give Jiang Yang more warmth.

"I don't care about that. Since you call me sister, we are a family. Your mother is my mother. You must be tired after traveling all the way. Let's go to the yard and eat something first."

Jiang Yang was deeply moved, and tears flowed down his face like crazy. He had few relatives in this world, and the better Yang Niannian treated him, the more he didn't want to do anything that might bring bad luck to Yang Niannian.

No matter what, he refused to go in.

He wiped away his tears and said.

"Sister Nian, I'm not going in. I just came to tell you and I'll leave in a moment."

Since he didn't have many relatives at home, he didn't care about things like funerals. He just wanted to burn more paper money and let his mother live a better life in the other world.

Seeing that Jiang Yang was unwilling to enter the yard, Yang Niannian asked Sister Qian to pour him a cup of tea and cook him a large bowl of noodles.

After Jiang Yang got the news, he went straight to Beijing. He hadn't eaten anything during the period. Now he was really hungry, so he took the bowl and chopsticks and ate a big bowl of food.

When Sister Qian saw that he had finished eating, she said.

"There's still some in the pot. I'll serve you another bowl."

Jiang Yang wiped his mouth and said, "No need to serve more. I'm full."

Upon hearing this, Sister Qian didn't say anything else and went into the kitchen with her dishes and chopsticks.

Yang Niannian looked at Jiang Yang's red eyes and felt extremely uncomfortable. Thinking that Jiang Yang and Jiang Yueyue would settle in Beijing in the future, she said.

"I'll help you contact a cemetery so that Auntie can rest in peace first!"

Jiang Yang sniffed and shook his head.

"Country people believe in returning to one's roots, so I'd better take her back and bury her next to my dad! My parents have a pretty good relationship, and I think she wants to be buried with my dad."

Since Jiang Yang had already made a decision, Yang Niannian didn't say much and just comforted him.

"The dead cannot be resurrected, so please take care of yourself. Yueyue is waiting for you to take care of her."

Jiang Yang nodded, thought for a moment and said, "Sister Nian, although Yueyue didn't mention it, I know she always misses her mother. If she knew her mother was gone, she would definitely not be able to accept the blow. I want to wait until she is an adult before telling her about this."

Yang Niannian understood what Jiang Yang meant and nodded.

"That's good. The courtyard here has been renovated. When this semester is over, you can transfer Yueyue to Beijing City to study!"

Jiang Yang was in a better mood than before. He nodded and glanced at his watch.

"Then I'll go back to Haicheng first. Please take care of yourself."

Yang Niannian reminded, "Drive slowly and be careful."

"Okay." Jiang Yang didn't waste any time. He turned around, got into the car, and drove away.

After what Jiang Yang did, Yang Niannian no longer wanted to go to the construction site. Anyway, the house on Chengqian Road was being built very quickly and would be completed in two months. The decoration would also take three or four months, so the antiques could be moved there in October.

Children have weak resistance, so she will wait until the house is vacant for a year or two before moving in.

The urban area is expanding towards Sanyuan Road. In less than two years, the houses there can be rented out. She will be a real landlady and will not have to worry about raising children.

After another two months, she will find a finance officer for the factory, and then she will focus on taking care of her baby and supervise Yueyue's studies...

The weather was a bit hot in May, so she planned to change into thinner pajamas and go to bed for a nap. But when she took out last year's clothes, she found that the waistline was too small.

Just then Qian Hongzhi came in from outside collecting clothes, and Yang Niannian asked.

"Sister Qian, have I gained a lot of weight? I just compared last year's clothes on my body and found that the waist is much smaller."

Qian Hongzhi smiled and said, "Actually, I've wanted to tell you this these past few days. Your belly is growing very fast. Wearing tight clothes is not good for the development of the fetus. It's best to buy some loose clothes."

Yang Niannian touched her belly thoughtfully, "Do you also think my belly is growing fast?"

Qian Hongzhi answered seriously.

"Come on, my sister is as thin as you. When she was four or five months pregnant, her belly wasn't very noticeable, it was almost like she had gained a little weight. Your belly is bigger than hers when she was more than six months pregnant. Are you having twins?"

Yang Niannian's eyes lit up, and she felt a little excited. "That would be great if it were true. I'll go to the hospital for a checkup in a few days."

I just don't know if the instruments of this era can detect twins.

When Qian Hongzhi thought that Yang Niannian might be pregnant with twins, she became even more excited than Yang Niannian and nodded.

"Yes, my previous employer was also a pregnant woman. She said the hospital has an ultrasound test that can tell how many babies are pregnant. It's amazing."

Yang Niannian blinked. She guessed that Sister Qian was talking about B-ultrasound. As far as she knew, the B-ultrasound machine was introduced into China in 1978. She just didn't know if the current equipment and technology could detect it.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Qian Hongzhi ask again.

"Are you experiencing fetal movement now? Do you feel any big movements? Can you feel how many babies are moving?"

Yang Niannian said awkwardly, "There has been some movement in my stomach these past two days, but I'm not sure if it's fetal movement because it's not very obvious."

Qian Hongzhi said confidently, "That must be fetal movement. How about I go to the hospital with you tomorrow? But for now, you should buy some clothes that fit you better. The waistband of the clothes and pants you are wearing is too tight."
