Cheng Mingzhong frowned and didn't speak for a long time. In comparison, he admired Sheng Anning's biological father more, an upright and responsible man.
However, he could not stop his sister from remarrying. After all, the person was already dead, and he could not let Cheng Mingyue be a widow for the rest of her life. The only objection he had was that she remarried too quickly.
Also, after she remarried, she didn't care about her previous daughter at all, which made him somewhat dissatisfied.
Now that I heard that Sheng An Ning is married, I don’t know what to feel.
Seeing that her elder brother was silent, Cheng Mingyue quickly explained: "You also know that An Ning didn't grow up by my side, and she didn't have much affection for me. After she came back at the age of fifteen, she was not very obedient. I was always afraid that she would make some bad friends. Later, she wanted to get married, so I let her get married."
Cheng Mingzhong remained silent for a while before he said, "An Ning is disobedient. It's your fault as a mother. You never cared for her or raised her since she was a child. How can you expect her to be obedient? I wrote to you before to ask you to pay more attention to and take care of An Ning. You are a mother, and that's your child. You should be responsible."
Cheng Mingyue also felt that she was quite wronged: "At that time, I also had to take care of Dalong and Hongying, so I didn't have that much energy to look after her. Besides, she lived a better life with her parents than with me. I did this for her own good."
Cheng Mingzhong shook his head: "Mingyue, you are the mother. If you divide half of your thoughts on Dalong and Hongying and focus on An Ning, you won't say that she is immature."
Cheng Mingyue knew that Cheng Mingzhong didn't like her current man, and he was always dissatisfied with her leaving Sheng Anning with her parents. If she continued with this topic, it would only make her eldest brother angrier, so she quickly changed the subject: "Brother, I know, I will definitely treat Anning well in the future. This time we came here to tell you something."
Then he pulled Sheng Dalong beside him and said, "Dalong is eighteen this year. He can take the college entrance examination this year. He usually studies very hard, but he didn't perform well in the exam and didn't pass. So I thought of coming to you to see if you can find a school for Dalong."
Cheng Mingzhong looked at Cheng Mingyue in surprise: "What are you thinking about? I own the school, so I can easily arrange for him to go to school? And for this matter, you can just write to me and tell me, there is no need for you to come here."
Of course Cheng Mingyue knew that she should write a letter to ask about this matter first, but if that was the case, how could Cheng Mingzhong take it to heart? Thinking that Sheng Anning would soon be a student at a prestigious university, she felt uncomfortable.
I decided to bring the kids here and send them to school no matter what.
"Brother, you must have a way. Didn't you recommend our neighbor's child to go to college a few years ago?"
Cheng Mingzhong was somewhat speechless. Although he was affiliated with the logistics headquarters and was a small section chief, he did not have the power to decide the number of students who could go to school. "That was because the child was excellent and performed outstandingly in the unit, so after a meeting to discuss and decide, we voted unanimously to recommend him."
Cheng Mingyue didn't say anything, obviously she didn't believe it. But since they were already here, she had to make sure her son could go to school.
…
Sheng An Ning didn't know that she was living in the same compound with Cheng Mingyue.
After taking a shower and having a comfortable sleep, it was already dark outside.
This kind of comfortable life with heating made her squint her eyes with joy. It was much better than lighting a stove, but her stomach felt tight and uncomfortable from time to time.
Sheng An Ning touched her belly and thought. According to her calculations, the due date should be in early April.
It's almost February, and I'm already seven months pregnant. I'm having twins, so premature birth is not impossible. Could it be that I'm going to give birth now?
The more I think about it, the more I feel that I should be prepared for both situations. Maybe the two naughty little ones in my belly will come out to join in the fun during the New Year.
She propped herself up on the bed and waited for a while but still didn't see Zhou Shixun coming back. She held her belly and went out to look for someone. She decided to tell him and Zhong Wenqing to be prepared to welcome the arrival of the two little ones at any time.
Just as I came out of the room, I met Zhou Beiqing coming out of the room.
Zhou Beiqing was stunned when she saw Sheng An Ning. Because there was no one around, she didn't want to say hello to Sheng An Ning. She felt a little inferior in her heart. After all, her experiences with Hu Yaozong were like parasitic vines, tightly wrapped around her.
She felt inferior all the time, and her parents' attitude made her feel even worse. She lowered her head and walked past Sheng An Ning.
Sheng Anning shrugged. Since Zhou Beiqing ignored her, she naturally wouldn't pay attention to her either. After all, she was the eldest sister-in-law.
I walked down the stairs slowly, holding my belly, taking each step very carefully.
Zhong Wenqing and his friends were sitting in the living room discussing what to eat in the evening, how to plan for the New Year, and whether to invite all the relatives to meet Zhou Shixun and his wife.
When I looked up, I saw Sheng An Ning holding the handrail of the stairs, walking down carefully, and quickly standing up.
Zhou Shixun had already walked over quickly and helped Sheng Anning down the stairs.
It was warm at home, so Sheng Anning wore a pair of corduroy overalls with a sweater knitted by Zhong Wenqing underneath, which made her belly look bigger and made her look very clumsy.
Zhong Wenqing smiled and said, "You slept for quite a long time. I just told Shi Xun to wake you up if you don't wake up, so that you won't be unable to sleep at night."
Sheng Anning smiled: "I haven't slept so well in a long time. I was still dazed when I woke up. I thought I was still in the family compound."
Zhong Wenqing smiled and went to pour fruit tea for Sheng An Ning. In the afternoon, he had nothing to do and took out some sweet water made from apples from the vegetable cellar.
Zhou Beiqing sat on the sofa, silently watching the family busying around Sheng An Ning, and couldn't help but stare at Sheng An Ning's belly.
No one knows what she is thinking.
After dinner, Sheng Anning whispered to Zhong Wenqing that she always felt that she would give birth early, so she had to be mentally prepared.
Zhong Wenqing became nervous upon hearing this: "Why don't we go to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow? The doctors here are pretty good. They should be able to tell if I'm going to have a baby soon."
Sheng An Ning thought about it and said, "Okay, let's check it out tomorrow so that we can have a peaceful New Year."
Zhong Wenqing told Zhou Nanguang about this again, and Zhou Nanguang took it to heart. He arranged a car in the evening and sent Sheng Anning to the hospital early the next morning.
Sheng An Ning giving birth to a child is currently the top priority for the Zhou family.
So the next morning, when Sheng An Ning and Zhou Shixun set out for the hospital, Zhong Wenqing was still worried: "I'd better go with you to Union Hospital. I have a cousin who works there. We can try to find a connection."
Sheng Anning thought it was not necessary. There were fewer people going to the hospital for prenatal checkups now, so it would not be that difficult to see a doctor. "Just wait for me at home. We'll go check it out and come back soon."
Zhong Wenqing was worried and followed him to the gate.
Cheng Mingyue took Sheng Dalong and Sheng Hongying out early in the morning, preparing to go to the mall to buy some things for Wang Da, otherwise they would not be able to stay if he looked too ugly.
Who would have thought that when I walked to the small western-style building, I would actually see Sheng An Ning!
