Yan Xiaonan completely lost her freedom. Like a little pig, she not only had to eat a lot of supplements every day, but she was also kept in a pen.
Ye Chenming became even busier. He not only had to be responsible for his own scientific research, but also had to inspect clothing factories, furniture stores, and clubs.
Fortunately, Yi Genjin and Xinan are particularly helpful now. After learning that Yan Xiaonan was pregnant, they both took on a lot of work.
Yan Aidang and the Shen family father and daughter have devoted themselves to the club. Nan Nan owns half of the club, so they must be taking good care of her.
While feeling grateful, Yan Xiaonan also began to truly rest, as she hadn't had a proper break since the college entrance examination.
Over the years, I have been working tirelessly to develop my career and studies, which has been both mentally and physically exhausting.
She gently stroked her belly and murmured to herself, "Baby, you need to take good care of yourself. A bright future awaits you."
Suddenly, I felt a faint flow of energy churning within my body; it was my long-lost superpower.
She was already three months pregnant. Could it be that her supernatural abilities had returned? Yan Xiaonan became nervous and sat in a chair, concentrating on sensing the changes.
After a long while, the current of air slowly reappeared, but it was so faint that it would be impossible to detect without careful attention.
Yan Xiaonan was overjoyed. If her superpowers returned, she could continue to serve her country and people.
At least it can stimulate the production of grain and cotton. Although everyone's lives are gradually getting better now, there is still a large shortage of grain and cotton.
As time passed, Yan Xiaonan finally discovered the pattern: her superpowers would increase as her pregnancy progressed.
There would be a noticeable improvement every month, and by the time she was six months pregnant, her powers had almost recovered to half their original level.
Grandma Yan was overjoyed when she found out. Her precious grandson's magical power had returned, which meant her little grandson would be even healthier in the future.
The grandmother and grandson chatted happily, and Grandma Yan picked up a knitting needle to knit a sweater for her unborn grandson.
Yan Xiaonan was also holding a small shoe in her hand. She wanted to imitate Cuihua and embroider a pattern on the shoe.
Grandma Yan pricked her hand with a needle, and blood seeped out. She quickly put down her sweater and went to find some mercurochrome.
Yan Xiaonan put her hand in her mouth, and suddenly felt flustered. She quickly closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
A pang of fear shot through her heart. She sensed the presence of the Tiger King of Mushroom Mountain, a sign that his time was up. She had to make a trip to Mushroom Village.
When Ye Chenming and his family heard that Yan Xiaonan wanted to return to Mushroom Mountain, they all disagreed. Only Grandma Yan felt that her granddaughter must have something important to do.
"My sweet baby, is there something you need to take care of? Should I ask your dad to go?"
Yan Xiaonan shook her head: "Grandma, do you still remember Tiger King? I think it's about time, I have to go see him off."
Upon hearing this, Grandma Yan's heart skipped a beat. She glanced at Yan Xiaonan's belly and said, "Nannan, you're pregnant."
Yan Xiaonan nodded and comforted her belly, saying, "Grandma, I know. I'm six months pregnant now, so going back home shouldn't be a problem."
Ye Chenming stood up and said, "Since Nannan wants to go back, I will ask for leave and go back with her."
Bei Nan stood up. He was getting married in two months, and he had enough time to accompany Nan Nan on a round trip.
Cuihua also stood up. Rather than worrying about her daughter, she thought it was better to go along, at least someone would cook for them.
So Ye Chenming asked for leave and bought a train ticket. He went out shopping in Bei Nan to buy some things to take back to his hometown.
Cuihua went into the kitchen. She needed to bring plenty of food for the journey, as a pregnant woman's nutrition was essential.
Although Fu Qingping and Ye Ren were worried, they didn't say anything to stop her, knowing that Nan Nan knew what she was doing.
Two days later, Yan Aidang saw them off on the train, telling them not to worry and that he was there for them.
Yan Xiaonan nodded with a smile. With Ye Ren and Yan Aidang keeping an eye on things in the capital, she really wasn't worried.
The train started moving with a clatter. Village Chief Ma of Mushroom Village had already received a call from Yan Xiaoqiang, informing him that Nan Nan was coming back to inspect the logging team.
They quickly convened a village meeting, and the old bachelor hurriedly found Ma Da Sao and asked her to bring people to clean the Yan family's house.
Mrs. Ma readily agreed, knowing that the old bachelor would go to the Yan family's old house every week to open the windows for ventilation and to clean and tidy it up.
"Old bachelor, how's that thing I told you about last time? If you're willing, Nan Nan can come back and attend your wedding."
The old bachelor blushed a little. Sister-in-law Ma introduced him to a distant relative from her maternal family, a widow who had lost her husband years ago.
The widow's name is Douhua. She is in her forties. Her only daughter is already married, and she is now living alone, which is quite difficult for her.
Thinking that I'm over fifty years old, being all alone is really boring.
So he agreed to Mrs. Ma's suggestion and met with the tofu pudding vendor a few times.
She's such an honest woman, she doesn't even dare to speak loudly, no wonder she gets bullied.
The old bachelor's protective instincts were fully aroused, and he would visit Douhua's family every month with gifts.
For several months, everyone in the village knew that Douhua had found a partner, an old bachelor from Mushroom Village.
Speaking of Mushroom Village, the villagers became kinder to Douhua. If Douhua married into Mushroom Village, it would mean that they would also have a connection with Mushroom Village.
Mushroom Village is the richest village in this remote corner, and unmarried men and women all want to marry there or marry a girl from Mushroom Village.
The old bachelor calculated the dates, nodded resolutely, and sent a matchmaker to propose marriage that very day.
As for the bride price, the old bachelor didn't want to be too ostentatious, so he gave three hundred yuan and a watch.
The matchmaker made a high-profile appearance at Douhua's house to propose marriage for the people of Mushroom Village, which was quite prestigious.
When she handed three hundred yuan and a watch to Douhua, the people around her gasped.
It's astonishing that a widow could receive such a large dowry. You should know that when she married into the family, the groom's family gave her fifty catties of cornmeal.
Douhua accepted the watch and three hundred yuan, but immediately handed them over to the matchmaker.
The matchmaker and everyone else were startled, thinking that Douhua disagreed with the marriage. The matchmaker, in particular, looked quite displeased.
Douhua realized the matchmaker had misunderstood and quickly explained, "Auntie, it's not that I disagree, it's just that the money is too much and I don't dare to accept it. Also, I'm the only woman in my family, and I'm worried I can't protect myself."
Upon hearing this, the matchmaker immediately understood what kind of life Douhua was living in this village.
Looking back at the group, some of them lowered their heads; Douhua's words had embarrassed them.
A hand reached out and took the money and watch, startling both Douhua and the matchmaker.
"I'll keep an eye on it for you, and I'll bring it to you on your wedding day," the village chief's voice rang out.
