"Director Shen is not at work today?" asked a colleague in the hospital.
"Ah, yes, my daughter-in-law is pregnant. I accompanied her to the prenatal checkup. Director Fu felt her and said she was expecting twins. So, I sent her back to rest."
"Oh, twins! That's not easy! Congratulations!"
"Haha, congratulations!" Shen Congying, who was laughing so hard that she was silly, didn't know what to say at all.
Fifty-year-old doctor: ...
She has no children and is still unable to have one at the age of fifty. It's really heartbreaking.
This is how Shen Congying chatted with people along the way.
"Ah, I don't have work today. My daughter-in-law is pregnant with twins, and I'm going to accompany her for the prenatal checkup!"
"Hey, I originally thought that one grandson would be enough, regardless of gender, but I ended up getting two. Now I have to rush back to prepare more things for the children. Since there are two of them, I'd better hurry up and retire because I have to take care of the children in the future." Shen Congying smiled so hard that her teeth were showing.
When I returned to the compound, I met Zhou Hongying head-on. Although the two families had different political views, they did not completely avoid talking to each other outside. She looked at Ji Xia deeply. This girl looked bright and generous. After she became pregnant, her face became more rosy, her skin was fair and her face was beautiful. Standing in the crowd, she was definitely the most eye-catching one.
"Director Shen, this is my daughter-in-law. Her belly is so big. When will she give birth?" Zhou Hongying thought of the plan of her grandfather and daughter, and a trace of regret flashed in her eyes.
What a pity, such a good girl, and the baby in her belly. Alas, if you want to blame someone, you can only blame their bad luck. Country girls should marry country men. Why try to climb up the social ladder? If they fall, they can only blame themselves in the end.
"Yes, she's pregnant with twins. Her belly looks bigger than usual. Oh, enough, I have to go back. Xia Xia has been out for so long and hasn't even had a sip of water."
After saying that, he came over and held Ji Xia's hand, with one arm around Ji Xia's shoulder. Chen Congying looked like he was protecting his child, which made Zhou Hongying's eyes twitch.
Ji Xia looked at Zhou Hongying and did not miss the regret in her eyes. She didn't quite understand in her heart who this person was and why he felt sorry for her?
Inside the compound, the people around gathered around Chen Congying and her mother-in-law. When they heard that Ji Xia was pregnant with twins, they all came over to congratulate her. Seeing Chen Congying happy, they kept saying nice things to her without asking for any money.
After a delay of about three to five minutes, Chen Congyingcai protected Ji Xia and broke out of the encirclement, heading towards their door.
Behind me, there were voices of discussion.
"This girl is also very lucky. She married the second son of the Qin family and got pregnant with twins right away."
"I thought the second son of the Qin family would be a bachelor for the rest of his life. He had never taken a fancy to any of the girls in the compound before, but after choosing so many, he finally chose a country girl."
"Don't even mention the country girls. This girl looks pretty good. That face, that figure, that demeanor. There are so many girls in our courtyard, but no one can compare to her."
"What do you mean by figure? Your belly is like a basin. I don't know how you know you have a good figure. To please the Qin family, I think you can make up any lies." Zhou Hongying said unhappily.
This person didn't say anything, but as soon as Zhou Hongying walked away, he started spreading gossip. "Tsk, there's no point in being unconvinced. I miss Han Xuelan and Qin Xiao so much that I'm almost lovesick. I'm so angry because I see there's no hope."
"Oh, really?"
"Why isn't it true? Yesterday, when Han Xuelan saw the aunt and sister-in-law come back, she rushed over and called the Qin family's second daughter-in-law all names. Today, Han Xuelan ran to the Qin family again. I don't know what she said, but when she came out, I saw her tears wiping away, just like rain."
"Oh my god, isn't this a problem of conduct? Qin Lao Er is already married, and she's about to give birth. Oh my god, hitting her in front of her wife, is that shameless? This is totally shameless!"
"That's right!" Everyone around agreed. Nowadays, when a couple is in love, they can't be intimate with each other in public. Although adultery is no longer punishable by being thrown into a pig cage, it is not much better than being thrown into a pig cage.
Han Xuelan is not leaving any way for herself to survive.
Han Xuelan stopped nearby. She was so angry that she was shaking all over. She almost pulled the crape myrtle tree next to her bare. She really wanted to rush out and tear the mouths of these gossipers apart, but she couldn't take on so many people alone.
She secretly made up her mind that she must marry Qin Xiao and blind the eyes of these people in the future.
She memorized these people one by one and thought about how to take revenge in the future.
At the Qin family, after Shen Congying came back, she went into the kitchen and hummed a song while arranging the ingredients. She then instructed Aunt Liu,
"From today on, the family should buy less meat and eggs. We should only buy enough for Grandpa and Xia Xia. Save the rest of the money. Xia Xia is pregnant with two babies. Oh, why didn't I think of saving the meat and egg coupons before?"
When Aunt Liu heard that Ji Xia was pregnant with twins, she smiled and said, "I was saying before that Xia Xia's belly was unusually large. It turns out to be twins, meaning two babies in a lifetime. Pregnancy is already tiring, and this saves her another pregnancy."
Chen Congying laughed, "Why not? Xia Xia is a blessed person."
At dinner time, there were always one or two meat dishes at home, but today there was only a bowl of twice-cooked pork, which was divided into two portions and placed in front of Ji Xia and the old man. It was obvious that it was not intended for anyone else to eat.
Qin Wangdong looked at the table, which was filled with either cabbage or radishes. He didn't really want to eat meat, but he felt that this matter was strange and asked, "What's going on? Has our house been robbed, or are we no longer worthy of eating meat?"
The whole family has high salaries, and Ji Xia still gets several salaries. Although she donated all the money, the proportion is still there. So, the old man and Xia Xia have made greater contributions, and only these two people deserve to eat meat?
In fact, although the Qin family has a great influence in Beijing, these days, even the highest-ranking person cannot eat meat as he pleases, let alone the Qin family.
There are two meat dishes every time, and you can see a few slices of meat added to the dishes. If you want to eat it, you can take one or two slices. But today, you are not allowed to eat it at all?
Qin Changshuo thought it was directed at him, and hurriedly said, "Mom, I will pay for your living expenses."
Qin Wanxue was also a little confused. "Mom, you are not complaining about me not being able to get married again, are you?"
Only Qin Xiao, seeing his grandfather pick up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of food. Then, his wife picked up three pieces of braised pork for him.
Chen Congying looked at her eldest son and daughter with a pale face, and said to Qin Wangdong with a smile, "Oh, you don't know, isn't Xia Xia about to give birth? I was thinking of saving up all the meat and egg coupons.
I was worried that the money I saved wasn't enough, but today, when I checked, they said I'm pregnant with two babies. I'm going to have to take good care of myself during the confinement period!"
"Puff, cough, cough!" Qin Xiao almost choked himself to death. Ji Xia patted his back and didn't notice that everyone at the table was looking at her.
