"It's nothing. I just saw someone trying to harm my family, so I thought I could give them a heads up by calling them later." Gu Jianing said simply.
"Okay." Because it involved Gu Jianing's secret, Sheng Zexi didn't ask any more questions.
After breakfast, the couple went to the communications office and quickly dialed the number of the Huaihua Village Committee.
-
In Huaihua Village, Yang Manman, who was pregnant, was sending her husband Gu Yunting to work.
Yang Manman's belly is now 5 months big.
"You go in, I'm going to work." Gu Yunting waved his hand and rode his bicycle towards the county town.
Yang Manman didn't open the door until she saw her husband disappear from her sight. Then she turned around and went back to the house. Unexpectedly, at this moment, she saw her father-in-law, Old Man Gu, running towards her in a hurry.
"Old family, tell your mother and the rest of the family that Ningning is calling. Come to the village committee to answer the phone."
My sister-in-law called?!
Yang Manman's face lit up with joy, "Well, OK, I'll go and notify them now."
Not long after, the Gu family, except Gu Yunting who had already gone to work, Yao Chunhua who was doing housework at home, Su Miao who was taking care of the children, and the brothers Gu Yunnan and Gu Yunzhou who had already started working, all arrived at the village committee.
There was only this one phone in Huaihua Village, and every time Gu Jianing called, everyone in the Gu family, as long as they were at home, would come to answer the call.
The first person to answer the phone was of course Yao Chunhua, the head of the family.
As soon as Yao Chunhua received the call from her daughter, her eyes became red. Her daughter had been in the Northwest Military Region for nearly half a year, and she missed her very much.
As soon as she received the call, she immediately asked Gu Jianing whether she had enough food and clothes, how she was doing in the Northwest Military Region, whether she was bullied, and whether Sheng Zexi was good to her...
Every word and sentence expresses the concern of a mother for her daughter who married far away.
"Mom, don't worry, I'm fine, and Brother Xi treats me very well too."
"I'm fine, really. I have enough food and clothes. You, Dad, and your brothers and sisters-in-law should also take care of yourselves."
"Yes, yes, we are fine."
"Mom, I'm calling you this time because I have good news for you."
"What good news?"
"Mom, I'm pregnant for three months now. I'm having twins. You and Dad are going to be grandparents, and my brother and sister-in-law are going to be uncles and aunts."
"What! You're pregnant, and with twins!" Yao Chunhua was so shocked that she couldn't hold back and raised her voice so high that everyone else in the Gu family could hear it.
After seeing each other's faces, I felt ecstasy.
Ningning/My little sister is pregnant with twins, that’s great!
Yao Chunhua was so happy that she cried, "It's good to hold the baby in your arms, it's good to hold the baby in your arms."
Her voice was slightly choked with sobs. At first, Yao Chunhua was 90% satisfied with letting Gu Jianing marry Sheng Zexi. The only thing she was dissatisfied with was Sheng Zexi's infertility.
Sheng Zexi said this when he proposed to her.
Later, Ning Ning said that she had a way to cure Sheng Zexi's health, and Yao Chunhua thought that Sheng Zexi was really good, so she agreed to let her daughter marry him.
After the two got married, Yao Chunhua's biggest hope was that Ning Ning could recover from Sheng Zexi's illness as soon as possible and have a child.
Even if Yao Chunhua was open-minded, she still knew in that era that if a girl wanted to have a better life after marrying Sheng Zexi, she had to have a child. Whether it was a boy or a girl, it would be more secure than having no child at all. Of course, it would be even better if it was a boy, or if she could have two children.
She had been looking forward to it, but she didn't dare to ask.
But unexpectedly, Ningning suddenly told her the good news that the baby was already three months old.
Yao Chunhua did not blame Gu Jianing for not telling her until the third month, because she knew that a woman's pregnancy is not so stable in the first three months, so she would definitely wait until the pregnancy is stable before telling others.
Twins are good, having two children at once is just...
"Ningning, you're carrying twins at once. You must be having a hard time." As a mother, she has also been pregnant before, so she knows how hard it is to be pregnant, not to mention that Ningning has two babies in her belly, and she's a delicate girl.
"Ningning, how about I go to the Northwest Military Region to take care of you?" Yao Chunhua asked.
The more I think about it, the more it makes sense.
Anyway, Ningning's mother-in-law has passed away, so we can't let Sheng Zexi's grandmother take care of her, right? The old lady is old too.
It would be more appropriate for her, as a mother, to take care of him.
"Mom, not for now. I'm fine now, so I don't need your special care. If you want to come over, wait until I'm about to give birth. By then, you will probably have finished helping my sister-in-law with her confinement."
Only after Gu Jianing said this did Yao Chunhua react.
Yes, the eldest daughter-in-law is pregnant, and when she gives birth, she, as the mother-in-law, will also have to take care of her during the confinement period.
Yao Chunhua calculated the time. Her eldest daughter-in-law is now 5 months old, so there are still 5 months before she gives birth. Ningning is now 3 months old, so it will be almost 8 months by then. When she finishes taking care of Manman during the confinement period, Ningning will be 9 months old. Generally, twins are born in advance, so Ningning will be almost due by then. It would be fine for her to go there at that time, as she can just take care of Ningning during the confinement period, but the time would be a bit rushed.
But that's all we can do.
Although Yao Chunhua wanted to go over and take care of her daughter as soon as possible, she couldn't forget her eldest daughter-in-law. After all, Manman was also the one who carried on the old Gu family line.
"Okay, that's settled then."
"By the way, have you called Xiaoxi's grandparents to tell them the good news?" Yao Chunhua asked again.
"I'll hit you later."
"OK."
Afterwards, Gu's father and other members of the Gu family came forward to exchange a few words. Gu Jianing also told them that she was a doctor in a military hospital. Her family members were very happy for her. Then, Gu Jianing did not forget another important thing.
Finally, it was Gu Yunzhou who answered the phone. She asked, "Third brother, do you know the situation of Wen Zhuqing and Bao Shanyan?"
When Gu Yunzhou heard what his younger sister said, his expression suddenly became a little strange.
"Little sister, why are you asking this? You've already married your brother-in-law and are pregnant. You can't be still obsessed with that pretty boy Wen Zhuqing, right? Could it be that your brother-in-law is not with you right now?"
Although the person on the other end of the phone was his beloved younger sister, Gu Yunzhou felt that some immoral things should not be done.
Gu Jianing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He looked at Sheng Zexi standing beside him. The three words "Wen Zhuqing" were like a warning word. When he heard it, it immediately touched his nerves. He raised his head and looked at her with resentment in his eyes.
Sheng Zexi naturally believed in Gu Jianing, and he could feel Gu Jianing's growing love for him.
But Wen Zhuqing is Ningning's first love. He seems to have heard that most people have different feelings about their first love. In other words, first love is special?
What does Ningning want to do when she mentions Wen Zhuqing now?
Gu Jianing understood the meaning in Sheng Zexi's eyes and gritted his teeth. If he wasn't on the phone at that moment, he would have wanted to hold his shoulders with both hands and shake him. I mentioned the names Wen Zhuqing and Bao Shanyan, why do you only care about the name Wen Zhuqing and forget Bao Shanyan?
