After returning to the compound, she wanted to share the good news, but among her close neighbors, only Sister Ma and her family stayed in the army to celebrate the New Year. Jiang Manyue sent some cakes as a New Year gift and told them about her pregnancy.
Sister Ma is also a kind-hearted person. When she learned that Jiang Manyue was pregnant, she taught her a lot of pregnancy experience, including that she should not eat too well, that it would be difficult to give birth if the baby was too big, and that she should walk more in the late pregnancy, otherwise the fetus would easily be in an abnormal position.
Although she didn't know whether it was true or not, Jiang Manyue still took note of it. The experience of those who have experienced it always makes sense.
The family compound was deserted before the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, and it only gradually became lively after the tenth day.
Cheng Jianyong and his family came back on the twelfth day of the first lunar month. Liu Xuemei's belly had already started to bulge and she looked a lot fatter. She must have eaten well during the Chinese New Year.
As soon as Liu Xuemei came back, she saw Jiang Manyue sitting in the yard basking in the sun. She was too lazy to go upstairs, so she pulled her aside to talk about the interesting things that happened at home during the New Year.
Jiang Manyue also started chatting with her with great interest. It was boring to just bask in the sun anyway, so it was quite interesting to listen to Liu Xuemei talk about the interesting stories of Cheng Ge's hometown.
Cheng Bin didn't go upstairs either, but ran in to find Lu Jun'an. The two friends hadn't seen each other for a month and were missing each other very much.
Liu Xuemei and Jiang Manyue sat in the yard, basking in the sun and chatting. As they chatted, Liu Xuemei felt a little hungry and shouted upstairs, "Jianyong! Bring down some food, I'm hungry!"
Cheng Jianyong responded from upstairs and quickly brought down some cakes, passing them to Jiang Manyue. "Would you like some too, sister-in-law?"
Jiang Manyue shook her head. "No, I can't eat it. It's too greasy. I'll vomit if I eat it."
Liu Xuemei found it strange when she heard this. How could one vomit after eating pastries?
Jiang Manyue smiled and said, "I'm pregnant. I've had a strong reaction these days, especially vomiting. I went to the hospital and the doctor said it's normal. I'm pregnant with two, so it's going to be a bit harder."
Liu Xuemei and Cheng Jianyong were stunned for a moment, and then they both started laughing.
"You're amazing! You're pregnant with two babies at once. Do you know if it's a boy or a girl?"
Jiang Manyue shook her head. "The child is too young, and we can't tell the gender yet. But Lu Lin and I like both boys and girls, so it doesn't matter whether he is a boy or a girl."
Liu Xuemei smiled and touched Jiang Manyue's belly. "It would be great if it was a boy and a girl. It would make a perfect couple. Twins, a boy and a girl, are a blessing you can't even ask for."
Cheng Jianyong also laughed and said, "Lu Lin is so lucky. He has become the father of two children in one go."
Lu Lin just walked out of the house. Hearing him say this, he said proudly, "It can't be helped. I'm lucky."
Cheng Jianyong was speechless. "I'm also a father of two children, and I'm not showing off yet."
Lu Lin pointed inside the room and said, "There's another one in the room. My nephew also has half, and I have two and a half."
Liu Xuemei couldn't help but burst into laughter. Lu Lin's mouth was really hard to beat. No matter what he said, he could always get the upper hand.
Jiang Manyue was also laughing. Lu Lin was the kind of person who would never lose in a verbal battle.
Cheng Jianyong was completely speechless and didn't bother to pay attention to Lu Lin. He put the box of pastries in Liu Xuemei's hand and went upstairs to continue packing.
A few days later, Lu Lin's comrades returned to the army, and all three of them brought back good news.
Xie Anbang arranged things in his hometown and when he came back he would apply to bring his wife to join the army.
Kang Laishun's marriage went smoothly. The wedding was arranged during the Chinese New Year. He was just waiting for the busy farming season to pass so that he could take leave and go home to get married.
Qi Xiangrong's blind date at home during the Chinese New Year was successful, and his family is already preparing for the wedding. He will probably go home to get married after the busy farming season.
Lu Lin punched them one by one and said, "Sure, one by one, you all have to start a family."
Qi Xiangrong was proud, "Now I can catch up with you and Anbang soon, and you can stop saying that I'm single every year."
Lu Lin said seriously, "Then you can't catch up with me. My wife is pregnant with twins."
Xie Anbang's eyes lit up when he heard this. Twins! How come all the good things happened to Lu Lin?
Qi Xiangrong rolled up his sleeves and said, "Damn Lu Lin is so lucky, brothers, beat him up!"
Lu Lin, who was showing off, was beaten up by his brothers, but he still didn't change his nature of showing off. "You guys are just jealous of me. Twins are something you can't envy."
After beating Lu Lin, Xie Anbang put his arm around his shoulders sincerely and said, "Brother Lu, please tell me how I can get pregnant with twins."
Lu Lin looked at him sincerely and said, "I don't know, but it's always right if you work harder."
Xie Anbang pushed him away, and it was as if he had said nothing. It was useless. It was probably because his sister-in-law was so powerful.
When his wife comes, she can spend more time with Jiang Manyue, and maybe she can pass on the good luck of having twins.

After the Lantern Festival, the army's training requirements are back on track, and Lu Lin and others will officially return to training.
Cheng Jianyong's application for a transfer to a civilian position was approved, so he stopped training with Lu Lin and the others. He also took a cup of tea and sat in the office.
When Lu Lin and his friends took a break from training, they no longer lay on the grass. Instead, they went directly to Cheng Jianyong's office to sit and drink some tea.
The days passed one by one, and by March, Jiang Manyue's morning sickness finally disappeared and her appetite improved a lot.
Lu Lin was so happy that he spent every day in the kitchen except for training, making delicious food for Jiang Manyue in various ways.
Jiang Manyue's belly also grew as big as a balloon. Maybe because she had two bellies, it looked almost the same as Liu Xuemei's.
After going through the most difficult period, Jiang Manyue now has no discomfort except being lazy and not wanting to move every day. Lu Lin also takes care of all the housework. Not only has her belly become bigger, but she has also gained weight.
One morning, Jiang Manyue woke up and suddenly found that she had become fatter and her clothes were a little tight.
This discovery made Jiang Manyue feel anxious about her figure, and she lost interest in the delicious food Lu Lin fed her.
Lu Lin thought she was not feeling well, but when he found out she just didn't want to gain weight, he felt helpless.
"Wife, pregnant women will get fat. You are eating for three people by yourself. If you don't eat, won't you starve?"
Jiang Manyue thought of what Sister Ma said, "But Sister Ma said that you can't eat too much when you are pregnant, because if the baby grows too big, it will be difficult to give birth."
Lu Lin was skeptical, "Really? Did Sister Ma tell you?"
Jiang Manyue nodded. "I'm already pregnant with two children, and my stomach is already very heavy. If I keep eating, both children will grow very big. Won't my stomach be broken?"
Lu Lin thought about it and it made sense. After consulting a doctor, he decided to reduce the feeding. He couldn't let the baby grow too big, otherwise it would be troublesome if it had a difficult delivery.
