When the old lady and Nie Fang heard the good news, they were overjoyed. The old lady, in particular, smiled so much that her eyes narrowed. She held Meng Sheng's hand and said "good" seven or eight times in a row, and could hardly say anything else.
Tears seemed to well up in his eyes, but his spirits and energy were much better at that moment, and he was radiant.
"Oh, Mom, this is wonderful news! Please don't cry!" Nie Fang said, supporting her arm and teasing her with a smile. "You're about to have your great-grandchild! Shouldn't you consider moving the wedding date forward and making arrangements as soon as possible?"
The old lady wiped away her tears. "You're right, you're right. I'm getting old, and my tear threshold is too high. Tomorrow, oh no, let's do it this afternoon. There's still plenty of time. Sheng Sheng, is your father home today?"
“She’s at home.” Meng Sheng nodded gently. Seeing the old lady’s eagerness to rush to the North District, she found it amusing. “There’s no need to be in such a hurry, Grandma. You can go tomorrow or next week.”
"That won't do. I'm just killing time this afternoon anyway, I have to go."
The old lady turned to Nie Fang and her husband and said, "Second son, Fangfang, Ayu went to the company this weekend. You two come with me this afternoon. Huanhuan, go find the housekeeper and ask him to prepare a gift list. Tomorrow we'll go to Shengsheng's house to discuss the wedding date with her father and finally set it for next month."
"good."
Nie Fang and Pei Huan had no objection to this happy occasion and agreed with a smile.
Pei Sui added, "I'll come too. I'd like to get our marriage certificate with Sheng Sheng tomorrow morning."
The room fell silent for a moment, then the old lady's laughter rang out. "It's fine as long as you two have discussed it. Go ask Sheng Sheng's father for his opinion this afternoon. If he agrees, then there's no problem."
"Yes, I know."
In the afternoon, Meng Chengli was still rebuilding when he suddenly heard from the steward, Uncle Kang, that people from the Pei family had arrived, and quite a few of them had come. He hurriedly came out to see what was happening and was quite startled to see so many people.
Meng Chengli breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that they had come to discuss the wedding date.
He can walk almost like a normal person now, and he doesn't even need a wheelchair anymore. However, he still can't walk for too long, and he needs to continue rehabilitation until next year.
Upon learning that Meng Sheng was pregnant and that they were to register their marriage the next morning, Meng Chengli remained silent for a long time before speaking, "This is a good thing. It's fine to register first. I have no objection, as long as you two are happy together."
"Thank you, Dad."
"Thank you, Dad."
Pei Sui called out after Meng Sheng.
Meng Chengli gave him a strange look, then laughed and said, "There's no change-of-address fee now, so it doesn't count."
Pei Sui smiled slightly. "Alright, let's settle this... We'll each pay our own way, and we'll settle it again on our wedding day tomorrow."
"Hey, it's not that late," Meng Chengli said. "You and Shengsheng can start calculating tomorrow after you get your marriage certificate. You need to give me some time to prepare the 'change of address' fee, right?"
Everyone in the room laughed.
The wedding date was finally set for the 17th of next month.
The wedding preparations were rushed, but with the Pei family's manpower and financial resources, nearly a month was enough.
The location and wedding venue arrangements were discussed and decided by Meng Sheng and Pei Sui.
Dinner was at the Meng family's house. After dinner, the old lady and the others left. Pei Sui stayed overnight with Meng Sheng. The next morning, after breakfast, they went to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Pei Sui had made an appointment in advance. Once inside the Civil Affairs Bureau, they began filling out forms and taking photos. After the official seal was affixed, the two of them officially became a legally married couple.
When she found out she was pregnant, she was quite calm and didn't experience much emotional fluctuation. But when she saw the official seal on the marriage certificate for the second time, she suddenly felt a surge of excitement, and her heart was beating faster than ever before.
Oh, she got married again.
This is the second time.
It's kind of funny.
It's been a while, and she can't quite remember if she felt this excited on the day she and Shang Boyu got their marriage certificate.
However, that doesn't matter; it's all in the past, while she and Meng Sheng are in the future.
They will be better.

Two days before the wedding, Meng Sheng had her prenatal checkup.
Last time I came for a checkup, the pregnancy was a little early, less than four weeks, but this time it's almost seven weeks.
After reviewing several test reports, the doctor solemnly said, "You're carrying twins. The fetuses are developing well, and the foreign protein levels are higher than normal. This is normal in early pregnancy. Come for a check-up every two weeks. Make sure you get enough nutrition and get plenty of rest..."
Twins!
Meng Sheng clutched her stomach, her eyes wide. "You mean twins?"
Seeing her reaction, and then glancing at Pei Sui, who was equally shocked, the female doctor couldn't help but laugh. "It's twins. Next, I'll tell you some things to pay attention to in the early stages. Please take notes. Be sure to eat plenty of foods rich in calcium, iron, and zinc, and foods with high nutritional value. If you have severe morning sickness, you can eat small, frequent meals."
“Okay, go ahead.” Pei Sui was the first to snap out of his daze, listening intently to the doctor’s instructions.
After leaving the hospital, the good news quickly reached the ears of the old lady and Meng Chengli.
The old lady happily copied scriptures in the Buddhist hall all day long.
Meng Chengli had Kang Bo take him to the cemetery to share the good news with Xu Li. He talked about it for most of the day, and when he got home that night, he video-called Meng Sheng with red eyes.
The following day, on the wedding day, Meng Sheng was dragged out of bed at five in the morning by Qiu Yi to get her makeup done.
At 8:08 a.m., Pei Sui and his groomsmen arrived to pick up the bride.
Meng Sheng and her bridesmaids didn't block the door, but instead set up three game challenges, which left the groomsmen scratching their heads in frustration, thinking that it would have been better to just block the door.
By the time Pei Sui finally won the heart of his beloved, it was already nine o'clock.
He led Meng Sheng by the hand and knelt on the prayer mat in front of Meng Chengli. On the armchair next to them was Xu Li's memorial tablet.
He took a cup of tea from the plate and calmly called out, "Mom and Dad."
Wearing a Zhongshan suit, Meng Chengli smiled, though his eyes were still red. He took the teacup, took a sip, and handed over a thick red envelope. "I drank your mother's tea for her. Ah Sui, I'm entrusting Sheng Sheng to you. You must treat her well and not let her down."
"Dad, don't worry, and thank you for trusting me and entrusting the best Sheng Sheng in the world to me. I will cherish her for the rest of my life."
