After breakfast, Shen Shuyi and Yan Zheng discussed serious matters.
She sat on the swing bench, and Yan Zheng sat next to her, using his feet to swing the swing.
"Brother Zheng, I'm pregnant."
"Wh-what?" Yan Zheng was instantly speechless, stuttering as he spoke.
Shen Shuyi turned slightly to the side and took Yan Zheng's hand, placing it on her stomach. "I'm telling you, you're going to be a father. The fetus is already more than two months along."
Yan Zheng's mind was still blank, almost overwhelmed by joy.
His Adam's apple bobbed, and his eyes were fixed on Shen Shuyi.
"Shuyi, you mean we have a child?!"
The man placed his palm against the soft, supple belly through a layer of clothing.
Shen Shuyi felt a hand exploring her warm belly and chuckled, "It's only two months old, the baby can't move yet."
Yan Zheng was stunned until Shen Shuyi kissed her heavily on the cheek and brought him back to his senses.
He pulled his beloved wife into his arms and gently stroked her long hair.
Shen Shuyi continued, "I checked their pulses; they are twins."
Yan Zheng felt like he was about to faint.
They're twins!
He tenderly stroked Shen Shuyi's belly, "Won't it be too dangerous to give birth to two children?"
Shen Shuyi said, "Don't worry, I'm perfectly healthy, and the baby is healthy too."
Yan Zheng's joy turned into deep guilt, which he suppressed and did not show.
He vowed in his heart to treat Shuyi even better.
Seeing his reaction, Shen Shu deliberately tried to distract him, saying:
"If the twins are a boy and a girl, the boy is very likely to grow up to be as strong as you."
"Girls can be just as pretty and smart as me!"
She didn't hold back in praising herself.
Seeing her proud little face, Yan Zheng's heart softened, and he said, "That's really great."
"The thought of having two children who are related to you by blood makes me so happy that I don't know how to describe it."
Yan Zheng cupped Shen Shuyi's face in his hands and kissed her cheeks several times.
He even patted his chest and promised, "I'll take care of the kids from now on!"
"Can you do it?" Shen Shuyi asked with a smile.
"Why not?" Yan Zheng felt that he was not a stupid person. As long as he studied hard and was careful, he would definitely be able to do it well.
"I will take good care of the children and you."
"Should we go to the hospital to see what we need to pay attention to and how to help you recover?"
"Besides that, I also need to buy a few books on pregnant women and childcare!"
Yan Zheng suddenly remembered something very important. He grasped Shen Shuyi's hand and asked guiltily, "Shuyi, last night...did I hurt you last night? How are you feeling now?"
"Does your stomach hurt?"
"I heard that you can't..."
Shen Shuyi reached out and placed her fingers on his lips. "It's nothing, just a little soreness in my back."
Yan Zheng recalled how he had held Chen Shuyi's waist and done this and that last night... His resolute face flushed red.
The man coughed lightly, "I promise, it really won't happen again!"
"Shuyi, let me help you back to your room to catch up on some sleep. I'll massage your back for you."
Shen Shuyi slapped his hand away, "I'm not even showing yet, why are you helping me? I can walk by myself."
She glanced at the vigorous man. "Is your injury healed?"
"It's all healed!" Yan Zheng saluted. "Wife, please let me know if you need anything!"
Shen Shuyi burst out laughing, "Big dummy."
"Relax and don't be nervous."
Yan Zheng grinned and busied himself, getting Shen Shuyi asleep before getting to work.
First, he went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a chicken to stew. He also bought a lot of dishes that Shen Shuyi liked. He spent the whole morning preparing food, with a smile always on his lips, sweeter than eating candy.
A few days later, news came that Yan Zheng had been promoted for his meritorious service.
Neighbors came to offer their congratulations, and the eldest uncle even invited Shen Shuyi and Yan Zheng to his home for dinner.
Chen Lian and Lin Chan, along with some of their comrades, brought congratulatory gifts and had dinner at their home.
Congratulations!
"Commander Yan has been officially promoted to division commander!"
It was no easy feat for Yan Zheng to rise from regimental commander to division commander, mainly because he had made extraordinary contributions, an honor that was almost earned with his life.
Everyone present admired him and offered him a toast.
A 25-year-old division commander is unprecedented in this military region!
While no one else was watching, Shen Shu quietly kissed Yan Zheng's cheek, "Brother Zheng, you're awesome!"
Yan Zheng smiled and squeezed her hand. "Don't drink any alcohol later, I'll drink it."
"Okay!" Shen Shuyi went out with him, and soon others knew she was pregnant. She didn't drink any alcohol and didn't need to make up any other excuses; she just told them about her pregnancy.
"This is truly a double celebration!" The soldiers wanted to get Yan Zheng to drink, but their families reminded them, "Commander Yan is still injured. Let's have tea instead of alcohol today!"
"Alright, alright, let's use tea instead of wine."
Everyone's just trying to have a good time; when the atmosphere is right, it doesn't matter what you drink.
The meal lasted from 5 pm until 7 or 8 pm. Before leaving, Lin Chan and Chen Lian congratulated Shen Shuyi and said they would come to help her with postpartum care and make pig's feet with ginger for her after she gave birth.
Shen Shuyi chuckled, "Okay, then I'll thank you in advance."
After the guests left, Yan Zheng carried the boiling water from the pot to the bathroom and filled a large bathtub for Shen Shuyi to take a bath.
When Shen Shuyi saw him follow her in, she blinked and asked, "What...are you doing here?"
"I'll help you wash. You're pregnant now, what if you fall?" The man said without changing his expression, still very serious.
