"It's okay, Mom. I don't eat all the time. It's just that I was suddenly hungry last night." Xia Yingying sat down and drank a little porridge.
About half a month passed, and one evening, Xia Yingying hugged Chen Feng's neck and gently kissed him.
"Hey, didn't you say you couldn't today?" Chen Feng instinctively greeted him, only realizing what was happening after the kiss, and couldn't help but say.
He couldn't resist such temptation; he wouldn't be able to bear it if Xia Yingying left without a reason.
"It's okay, there's no reaction today, it might be delayed." Xia Yingying shook her head and kissed him again.
"He's usually quite punctual, why is he late this time?" Chen Feng was still puzzled.
"Oh well, who cares, we'll talk about it when we get here." Xia Yingying didn't say anything and directly pushed Chen Feng onto the bed.
Several days passed like this, and Xia Yingying showed no reaction whatsoever. Not to mention Chen Feng, even she herself was puzzled as to what was going on.
"vomit…"
Xia Yingying was eating when she suddenly couldn't hold it in and ran into the bathroom again.
The three of them were used to this at the dinner table; after all, they had cried wolf so many times that they had gotten used to it.
"Does this dish also have Sichuan peppercorns?" Chen Feng asked, looking at the steamed egg custard.
"Is it because the scallions are spicy?" Liu Ping asked, puzzled.
"This scallion isn't spicy, it's sweet," Chen Jianguo said, taking a big bite of the raw scallion to prove it.
"What's going on?" Liu Ping asked, puzzled.
After a while, before Xia Yingying could even come back, she covered her mouth, turned around, and ran back to the toilet.
"What's going on?" Chen Feng stood up and followed him into the restroom.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Chen Feng asked, squatting down.
"Actually, I don't feel unwell anywhere, I just feel nauseous and want to vomit." Xia Yingying paused for a moment, took a deep breath, felt better, and rinsed her mouth.
"You're not really pregnant, are you...?" Chen Feng had a bad feeling about this.
"No way?" Xia Yingying wiped her face and turned to look at Chen Feng with the same puzzlement.
"Let's go to the hospital this afternoon. Even if you're not pregnant, we need to find out why you keep gagging," Chen Feng said.
"Okay." Xia Yingying nodded and walked out. She had been enjoying her meal, but now she had no appetite for anything.
"Let's go take a look and see what's going on," Liu Ping suggested as they came out.
"I told you, I'll take her to see her this afternoon." Chen Feng picked up his chopsticks and continued eating.
After Chen Feng finished eating, the two of them drove to the hospital and registered.
After the examination was completed, the doctor looked at the report and said to Chen Feng and the other person.
Congratulations, you're pregnant, and it's twins!
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng and Xia Yingying both raised their eyebrows and slowly exchanged a glance.
"Twins?" Xia Yingying couldn't believe it.
"Two at once?" Chen Feng was equally shocked.
"Doctor, her eating habits have been extremely irregular lately, with binge eating. And last night at four in the morning... or rather, four this morning, she ate two packets of instant noodles and two eggs. Will that have any effect?" Chen Feng turned to look at the doctor.
"Why are you saying this!" Xia Yingying angrily slapped Chen Feng.
You can just talk about my binge eating, why are you talking about me eating instant noodles at four in the morning?
"Um... try to eat more regularly, but being able to eat is a good thing, of course you should also control your intake. There's nothing seriously wrong, don't worry," the doctor replied.
"That's good. Is there anything we need to be careful about afterward?" Chen Feng asked.
"Have regular prenatal checkups, and call me anytime if you have any problems." The doctor left his phone number.
"Thank you, doctor. But may I ask, is it a boy or a girl?" Chen Feng stood up and turned around, asking with curiosity in his eyes.
"According to regulations, we can't say, and besides, they're too young to be seen," the doctor replied helplessly.
"Okay, okay, thank you, doctor." Chen Feng nodded and left the hospital with Xia Yingying.
"That's ridiculous! I'm going to be a mom, and I'm not prepared at all!" Xia Yingying said, touching her belly with a worried expression.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here with you," Chen Feng said, holding her hand tightly.
"Do you have experience being a mother?" Xia Yingying asked him, squinting one eye.
Chen Feng: "..."
"I'd better go home and ask my mom. I think she's reliable because she raised me all these years." After making up his mind, Chen Feng took her home.
While in the car, Xia Yingying had already started researching tips for expectant mothers.
The two arrived home quickly. Liu Ping was mopping the floor when she saw them return and couldn't help but ask, "How did the checkup go?"
“Yes, you’re going to be a mother-in-law… no, you’re going to be a grandmother.” Chen Feng said directly.
Upon hearing this, Liu Ping and Chen Jianguo were stunned for a moment, and then rushed over.
"Wow, really? You're not kidding me, I'm going to be a grandma?" Liu Ping was overjoyed and kept patting Chen Feng's arm.
"What's going on? You're not kidding us this time, are you?" Chen Jianguo asked worriedly.
"What are you talking about? When have I ever lied to you two? Look for yourselves, this is the medical report." Chen Feng handed the report directly to them, letting them look at it themselves.
They looked through the list for a while, and when they saw that it was twins, they were overjoyed and almost jumped for joy!
"Haha, that's great! They're twins! Girl, don't stand up, you'll get tired. Come and sit down."
Liu Ping and Chen Jianguo pulled Xia Yingying onto the sofa without saying a word, leaving Chen Feng alone at the door, bewildered.
No, I'm a father too, can't you at least give me some basic respect?
“Now you two have something to do. You each take one of the two kids and just watch over them,” Chen Feng said as he walked over.
"Don't just say one, any number is fine." Liu Ping took on the task directly.
"Are we not allowed to tell whether it's a boy or a girl now?" Liu Ping asked, remembering the question.
"No, and it's too small to be seen," Chen Feng replied.
"Hmm, it would be best if it were a man and a woman, that would be perfect," Liu Ping said expectantly.
Chen Feng had a premonition that these were definitely twins, a boy and a girl.
"What names should we give these two children? You went to university, so think about it carefully," Liu Ping said, looking at Chen Feng.
"This... I haven't really thought about it. How about we name him Chen An or Chen Ning?" Chen Feng grinned.
"This name is really good, Anning. How about we call it that?" Chen Jianguo thought it was a good idea.
"Give me a break! I know what you're up to. This name is definitely not going to work!" Xia Yingying rolled her eyes and said.
The name was clearly chosen to resemble Teacher Chen, whose name is Chen An and whose sister is Chen Ning.
"Hehe, then let's choose another one. I'll think about it carefully later." Chen Feng was just joking; he definitely couldn't call it that.
Eight months have passed in the blink of an eye. Chen Feng, with a scruffy beard, sits by the hospital bed, holding Xia Yingying's hand.
Xia Yingying was in so much pain that her face turned pale and she was covered in cold sweat.
It was indeed a man and a woman, and it happened suddenly; the due date was earlier than expected, so they drove straight over.
Chen Feng looked at Xia Yingying with heartache and gently wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.
Several hours later, Chen Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief after the doctor confirmed that both mother and child were safe.
Xia Yingying was exhausted. She looked at the baby the nurse brought over with a look of disgust.
"So ugly, it doesn't look like me at all."
These words made everyone present burst into laughter, and Chen Feng also laughed.
"Who came out first?" Xia Yingying asked Chen Feng in a soft voice.
"Brother, just as I guessed."
"It's fine." Xia Yingying nodded, and the nurse wheeled her to a ward.
A year later, Chen Feng sat at the gate of the courtyard smoking. Two little ones, who could barely walk properly, were playing in the sand, getting themselves covered in dirt.
"Giggle giggle~"
"Giggle~"
"Chen Feng, keep an eye on them, don't let them play in the sand, it's dirty." Xia Yingying's voice came from inside the house.
Chen Feng nodded as he looked at the two of them, who were covered in dirt and having a great time.
"Don't worry, I didn't play."
Children shouldn't be raised too delicately; they need to be a bit resilient.
If you like playing, then play. You can always wash up later.
This is how you strengthen your immune system; if you can't be exposed to anything, that would be terrible.
However, it seems that only Chen Feng in the family thinks this way, and every time Chen Feng does this, he gets scolded by the three of them.
The little girl held sand in her hand, glanced at Chen Feng furtively, and when he wasn't paying attention, she stuffed it into her mouth.
"Holy crap!"
Chen Feng caught a glimpse of this scene, threw away his cigarette, rushed over, and stopped her just before she could stuff the sand into her mouth.
"Girl, I've told you so many times that you can't eat this, why do you always want to try it?"
Chen Feng brushed the sand from her hand onto the ground and said helplessly.
"Giggle giggle~"
My daughter was overjoyed and skipped off to catch chickens again.
Just as Chen Feng was watching the girl's back, he was suddenly kicked in the buttocks.
Looking back, he saw Xia Yingying wearing an apron and holding a spatula. Xia Yingying was glaring at him fiercely.
"Playing in the sand is good," Chen Feng explained helplessly.
"Good my ass! If it's so good, why don't you play in the sand every day? Hurry up and wash them clean, then we'll eat right away." Xia Yingying snorted and turned to walk away.
Chen Feng quietly stuck out his tongue behind her back, then reached for his two children.
The method of grabbing them is also very simple: grab one in each hand, hold the straps on their backs, and lift them up directly.
"Let's go, let's change clothes and wash our hands."
The two children were not afraid at all; on the contrary, they laughed happily, waving their arms and legs, a trait they may have inherited from Chen Feng.
After finishing their meal, Liu Ping and Chen Jianguo tidied up the house, their faces beaming as they watched the children playing wildly in the yard.
Chen Feng and Xia Yingying sat at the door, watching the two children rolling around together, both with smiles on their faces.
As the sun sets, the courtyard is bathed in golden sunlight, creating an incredibly heartwarming scene.
“We’ll keep going like this, right?” Xia Yingying looked at Chen Feng and asked gently.
"Of course." Chen Feng put his arm around her waist, gently kissed Xia Yingying's cheek, and answered with a smile.
(The Finale)
Author's Closing Remarks
I'm suddenly writing this and I don't know what to say. Thank you all for your continued support.
Without you all, this book wouldn't be where it is today.
The success of this book has truly exceeded my expectations. I never imagined so many friends would like it. I am extremely grateful.
Actually, when some friends noticed the Easter egg about Teacher Chen that I wrote in the book, I was really happy and excited. He was the protagonist of my previous book, so perhaps it was a feeling of reuniting with an old friend.
Whether you are a new friend or an old friend, thank you again for your support and love.
The new book is currently in preparation and I believe it will be available to everyone soon.
One more thing, this book has been adapted into a short drama, which should be released soon. The main character is quite handsome, so if you're interested, you can check it out. You should be able to find it on Hongguo or other platforms; it's likely to be a drama with the same title.
Well, we'll meet again someday. I hope to see your names in the next book. Goodbye.
