"They're getting old, so it's best not to worry them too much. You young people are much more considerate of the bigger picture. I must say, your aunt is getting old."
Upon hearing this, Ding Yi smiled and said, "Auntie doesn't look old at all. She looks about the same age as Yi'er."
Dongfang Tinglan said with a smile, "Yi'er has such a sweet tongue. Auntie is getting old and can't compare to you young people."
"These are freshly picked organic fruits. You young people have a good chat while I go to the vegetable garden to check on your uncle."
Dongfang Yi asked in surprise, "What is Uncle doing in the vegetable garden? Could it be that Uncle knows how to grow vegetables?"
Dongfang Tinglan said, "Yes, your uncle is a master at growing vegetables. All the vegetables we eat now are grown by him. I never knew he had this side to him after he quit his job."
"Alright, you young people keep chatting, I'm going now."
After saying that, he got up and left.
After Dongfang Tinglan passed by, Gong Yixue asked, "Did you have your prenatal checkups on time? Do you know how the fetus is developing?"
Ding Yi nodded and said, "I've had it done, and it's all good. Ever since he found out I was pregnant, he's had a doctor stationed at Shennong Pavilion. He wants to check the baby every day, afraid that there might be something wrong with the baby. I told him that too many ultrasounds are bad for the baby, and that's when he stopped. Besides, I know a little about medicine, so the baby's development should be fine."
Upon hearing this, Gong Yixue hummed in agreement and said, "That's good then."
Then he looked at Dongfang Yi and said, "The first three months are quite sensitive. Although there is no research data yet showing what impact it will have on the baby, no one can say for sure about these things."
Yi'er's approach is correct; following the standard prenatal checkup schedule is sufficient. Doing more than necessary doesn't offer any additional benefit.
Dongfang Yi felt a little embarrassed by what was said, scratched his head and nodded, saying, "Cousin, I know. The doctor also told me. This is my first time being a father, and I can't help but worry when I see that Yi'er is experiencing severe morning sickness."
Gong Yixue nodded, "I understand."
Gong Yixue looked at Ding Yi and said, "Sister-in-law, you've traveled a long way, go and rest first."
As someone who has been through it, she knows all too well how difficult pregnancy is.
Upon hearing this, Ding Yi nodded.
Although I came by private jet and slept and rested on the plane, I always felt particularly tired after becoming pregnant.
Dongfang Yi said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, cousin."
Gong Yixue: "We're family, let's not talk about these things."
Dongfang Yi nodded and stood up to help Ding Yi up.
Gong Yixue called over a servant to take them upstairs to rest.
In the evening, Dongfang Tinglan prepared a large table of delicious food to entertain the two of them.
Dongfang Tinglan said with a smile, "Yi'er, these are free-range chickens that we raise ourselves. They are very nutritious and don't have that chicken smell."
My aunt even specially added some medicinal herbs to the soup to nourish the fetus. Now that you're pregnant, you need to eat something nutritious.
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yi wanted to refuse, "Auntie, she can't stand the smell..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ding Yi stopped him.
Ding Yi accepted the chicken soup from Dongfang Tinglan and said, "Thank you, Auntie."
Seeing this, Dongfang Yi asked worriedly, "Yi'er, are you sure there's nothing wrong?"
He was worried that if Ding Yi ate some chicken soup, she would experience morning sickness, and that morning sickness would cause her to vomit everything up.
That would be a losing proposition.
Ding Yi took a sniff and said, "This chicken soup doesn't make me nauseous at all; in fact, it smells delicious. I can't wait to try it."
Hearing Ding Yi say this, Dongfang Yi's worries lessened considerably, and he said, "Then give it a try. If it doesn't work, don't force yourself. Your aunt won't blame you."
Hearing this, Dongfang Tinglan chimed in, "Yi'er, you try it first. If you can eat it, then eat it. If not, we'll eat something else. Your aunt won't mind."
Ding Yi nodded, then picked up the bowl, scooped up a spoonful, and swallowed it without feeling any discomfort.
Ding Yi nodded to Dongfang Yi, then looked at Dongfang Tinglan and said, "It's delicious. Aunt's cooking is really good."
Dongfang Tinglan said, "I'm glad you like it. Your aunt will make you other soups later and make sure you're well taken care of."
Ding Yi said, "Thank you, Auntie."
Seeing that Ding Yi liked to eat, Dongfang Yi said, "Yi'er, if you can eat, then we'll eat more."
Seeing this, Sweetie asked curiously, "Grandma, is Auntie pregnant?"
The two children had just come home from school, and no one had told them.
Dongfang Tinglan looked at Tianxin and said with a smile, "Tianxin is so smart. How did you guess that your aunt and uncle are pregnant?"
Sweetheart said in a serious tone, "That's how it's always portrayed on TV. Everyone is happy when someone on TV gets pregnant, and pregnant women can't eat and will vomit."
Dongfang Tinglan smiled and said, "Hmm, Sweetheart is so smart."
Then, as if remembering something, she said, "Sweetie, tell me, is your aunt a little sister or a little brother in her belly?"
Upon hearing the voice, Sweetie innocently replied, "It's my little sister."
Dongfang Tinglan looked at Ye Yuchen and said, "What do you think, Xiao Chen?"
Ye Yuchen said, "Sister."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yi was overjoyed.
“Sweetheart Xiao Chen, if your aunt and uncle really have a little sister, your uncle will definitely give you a big red envelope.”
He dreamed of having a daughter.
My daughter is such a sweet little angel.
The reason he didn't want a son was because he had seen other people's sons, and they were so naughty it made people want to vomit blood.
Ding Yi looked at Dongfang Yi helplessly.
Ever since she became pregnant, Dongfang Yi had been constantly telling her that it absolutely had to be a girl.
He was afraid he would be driven crazy if he said the boy was too naughty.
They even said that girls are meant to be pampered, while boys are meant to do hard labor.
She was both amused and exasperated when she heard this.
For her, as long as the child is born safe and healthy, the gender doesn't matter.
They are all her flesh and blood, and she loves them all.
Compared to Dongfang Yi wanting a daughter, she wanted a boy more.
Unlike girls, boys don't have to endure a life of constant ups and downs. If they marry well, great; if not... they don't have to go through the pain of childbirth either.
Hearing this, Dongfang Tinglan smiled and said, "You, it doesn't matter whether you have a boy or a girl, they're all children of the Dongfang family anyway."
However, for some reason, it seems that the Dongfang family members all have a particular fondness for their daughters.
Of the two, she was the one who received more of her parents' love and affection.
This is probably a tradition passed down in the Eastern family.
That evening, Ye Mohan, having exercised several times, lay contentedly with Gong Yixue in his arms.
Ye Mohan spoke, "Xue'er."
"Mmm." Gong Yixue felt so tired that she was drowsy, and even her voice sounded sleepy.
Ye Mohan said, "Let's take wedding photos tomorrow."
He didn't know it before; a wedding photography message suddenly popped up on his phone screen not long ago.
He then realized that he and Gong Yixue had been together for so long, and their child was already so big, yet they didn't even have a decent set of wedding photos.
