As the days passed, the weather gradually became warmer. Zhou Jiao took off her thick coat and wore only a loose jacket, and her belly became more and more obvious.
Even Old Lady Cheng could tell they were definitely twins. Even after her nephew reminded her, she feigned ignorance, then flashed a look of shock when Zhou Jiao announced it herself.
Fortunately, Zhou Jiao, who was pregnant, looked rosy and moved freely. Apart from the unsightly belly, she looked like a normal person. This made the family, who were anxious, feel relieved at the same time.
In the laboratory, Qiao Na quickly cleaned up and nervously guarded Zhou Jiao, making a clicking sound and shaking her head again and again.
"What the hell is this?"
"I won't get married in the future. It's too scary."
Zhou Jiao chuckled and said, "I feel fine. You don't need to be so nervous. Don't you see I'm not tired at all."
Zhang Guoqing, who was walking behind, frowned. He hated it most when someone chatted with his wife while she was walking. What if she fell down accidentally?
"Xiaowu, do you feel weird?"
Zhang Guoqing paid attention to his wife in front of him and replied absentmindedly, "What's the matter?"
Yi Jiefang and the others have known about his character for a long time. Since the beginning of this semester, this guy has been on high alert. But everyone also understands, what about the twins?
"My sister stood there, and from behind she didn't look like a pregnant woman at all. I saw that those old women on the street were not like this. Let's not talk about others, just look at Sister Xiaomin at that time, she looked like a gasoline barrel."
"Yes, my aunt is also very fat now, and her face is as big as a basin. The last time I saw her, I thought my uncle had changed his wife."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the students around who could hear them burst into laughter.
Zhang Guoqing looked at Zhou Jiao nervously, his face tense, worried that she would turn her head to watch the fun. Fortunately, his wife was smart and went her own way.
Arriving at the dormitory, Zhou Jiao saw that no one was there. She glanced at him helplessly and muttered, "I'm fine at all."
"Yes, my wife is amazing. It's all my fault."
"fool!"
Zhang Guoqing curled his lips and smiled, stretched out his arms to hug her, looked down at her belly between them, and whispered to himself: "It's time."
Zhou Jiao raised her head and looked at him in confusion.
"Little fool."
Looking at the doting look in her man's eyes, Zhou Jiao smiled happily and didn't plan to ask any more questions. She would just let him arrange it and cooperate with him when the time came.
After that day, every time Zhou Jiao had lunch break, Zhang Guoqing would go out for a few hours, and then return to school drenched in sweat in the early spring season.
Zhou Jiao asked a few times, but after he mysteriously said he had a surprise for her, she stopped asking. After all, being pregnant often made her feel mentally exhausted, and now that she couldn't go back to see her father and son every few days, she was secretly feeling a little uneasy.
Every week, watching her son reluctantly return to the compound, she wished the days would pass faster so that she could have a child sooner and be with her son sooner.
She hid these emotions well in her heart and continued to go to school without any hesitation. She just didn't want to see Zhang Guoqing worry. Now that she saw that he was no longer so nervous that he wanted to stay by her side, she felt pretty good.
No wonder there’s a saying that goes, “One pregnancy makes you stupid for three years.”
That weekend, Zhang Guoqing, contrary to his usual behavior, did not go to the gate to wait for his son. After washing up, he smiled and said that he would take her somewhere.
"Acceptance surprise?"
"Well, I wonder if this would be to your liking?"
"What is it? Can't we bring it up? Where is it now? Should we go home?"
Zhang Guoqing looked at the confused man with a smile. If it were normal, his wife would have guessed the answer long ago with her attentiveness. This was a rare scene, and if she hadn't been in a hurry, she really wanted to take a picture of it as a souvenir.
"elder brother?"
"Uh, it's quite big. I'll take you over to have a look."
"Have you told your family? They'd be so sad if Ping An came over and didn't see us. Last week, it was my aunt who came over, and I don't know who's coming with him this time."
Zhang Guoqing carefully helped her out of the dormitory. After closing the door, he looked ahead to see if there were any small obstacles on the ground before replying, "I've arranged everything."
After going downstairs, Zhang Guoqing didn't dare let her sit on the back of the bicycle, so he helped her walk slowly on the path.
As they walked, Zhou Jiao exclaimed, "Isn't this the road we took when we first came to school and planned to rent a yard? Did you rent a yard?"
It wasn't easy, but I finally woke up now.
Hearing this, Zhang Guoqing laughed and said, "When the weather gets hot, we can't light the stove in the house. It will be inconvenient to eat in the future. We can't eat the food in there every day. Besides, the smell is too much, which will easily arouse suspicion."
"That's true, especially with more and more students coming to play lately."
"That's reserved for rainy days and lunch breaks. We usually live outside so you can have more peace and quiet. And our son can stay longer here too."
Zhou Jiao smiled at him without saying anything, but secretly felt guilty. She had considered this method before, but it would make Zhang Guoqing even more tired.
"I've thought about it. Living out here will be much more convenient when my family comes over. That way, there won't be a commotion caused by a small car or a few people. I've also mentioned this to the counselor. If there are any school activities in the future, he'll have someone come over and shout, which will be more convenient."
"This is a great idea, I like it very much. The villages ahead are also quite close. If you have meetings next time, I can come back alone. Brother, you are really smart. I like this surprise very much."
Zhang Guoqing smiled knowingly. This was just the beginning. Wouldn't it be a real surprise when his parents come over later?
"Jiaojiao, Master wanted to come over, but I refused. It's even more inconvenient for him to go to the hospital to work from here. I asked him to come over in a month. Is that okay?"
"It's not a big deal. I'm not thinking straight right now. Just take care of it."
After walking for fifteen minutes, they soon arrived at a village. Zhang Guoqing led her to a fenced-off earthen house yard. From the next door, an old lady in her fifties or sixties, wearing a blue-gray cotton and linen double-breasted jacket, came out.
The other person walked towards them with a smile: "Xiao Wu, are you going to move in?"
Zhang Guoqing quickly replied, "Yes, Aunt Qian, have you eaten? This is my wife Zhou Jiao. Jiaojiao, this is Aunt Qian from Captain Qian's family. She's very kind and this courtyard belongs to her."
Zhou Jiao immediately realized that this was the female family of the most important person in the team: "Auntie, we will have to trouble you from now on. If we do anything wrong, we will have to trouble you to point it out."
"Don't be polite, you're still pregnant. If you have anything, just shout in the yard. I'll be at home taking care of my grandson." Aunt Qian looked at Zhou Jiao and said with a smile.
"Well, let me thank you first."
"Then I won't delay you from packing up. You still have to clean up the vegetable garden here first. If you need vegetables, you can go to my yard to pick them. You're welcome."
"Okay, that's all. Auntie, come visit more often when you have time."
After watching Aunt Qian leave and enter the next yard, Zhang Guoqing helped Zhou Jiao into the main room.
After a short break, Zhou Jiao began to wander around the yard with great interest. It wasn't a big yard, just three adobe houses and two side rooms.
