When the first gentle spring breeze swept across Shenzhen, people hadn't even had a chance to properly appreciate the spring air before the sweltering summer arrived.
Meanwhile, Qian Duoduo's originally flat stomach began to swell, and the protrusion was quite noticeable. Upon closer inspection, her belly was much larger than that of a typical six-month pregnant woman.
At this moment, Jin Jinxiu was carefully helping Qian Duoduo take a slow walk in her own yard. Looking at Qian Duoduo's huge belly, Jin Jinxiu couldn't help but worry and said, "Duoduo, you're pregnant with several babies at once. This pregnancy must be really tough."
Qian Duoduo nodded slightly, a smile appearing on her face, and replied softly, "Actually, it's alright. Although it's a bit tiring now, at least I only have to endure this once. If I could only get pregnant with one child at a time, then with so many babies in my belly, I would have to suffer four times over. Just thinking about it is terrifying. And it's only a short ten months. I'll get through it. Otherwise, if I really had to give birth one by one, wouldn't it take me a whole four years?"
That's right, Qian Duoduo has hit the jackpot this time, she's pregnant with quadruplets! This news has made Lu Yiheng and Wen Ya extremely happy.
For the Lu family, this was an unprecedented and joyous occasion, the first time they had ever welcomed twins. If it weren't for their current status preventing them from freely leaving Beijing, they would likely be rushing to Shenzhen right now to be by Qian Duoduo's side, eagerly awaiting the arrival of their new life. Such a momentous occasion was bound to cause them immense joy and excitement.
Jin Jinxiu smiled, gently patted Qian Duoduo's hand, and said, "You've been spouting nonsense all day. I can't argue with you. We've had enough. Let's go back!"
Qian Duoduo nodded slightly in agreement, saying, "Yes, I'm exhausted!" Dragging her weary body, she had just stepped into the living room when the familiar, urgent ringing of the telephone suddenly sounded. However, the mother and daughter didn't appear overly panicked or anxious. They knew very well that if the caller truly had something extremely urgent, they would definitely call back.
And so, the mother and daughter walked leisurely toward the sofa. Just as they were about to reach the edge, the shrill ringing of the telephone abruptly stopped. At that moment, Qian Duoduo slowly sat down on the soft, comfortable sofa, casually placing the cushion behind her and adjusting herself to a relatively comfortable position. She then said to Jin Jinxiu beside her, "Mom, please sit for a while. If the phone rings again later, I can just reach out and answer it." She then smiled and nodded to Jin Jinxiu.
Jin Jinxiu slowly turned around, walked lightly to the table, picked up the kettle and carefully poured a glass of water. She picked up the glass, walked steadily to Qian Duoduo's side, and gently placed it within Qian Duoduo's reach.
Then, Jin Jinxiu slowly sat down beside her. She stretched out her hands and gently and carefully lifted Qian Duoduo's slightly heavy legs, placing them lightly on her thighs. She began to slowly knead Qian Duoduo's swollen leg muscles. Each kneading motion was accompanied by just the right amount of pressure and rhythm, as if playing a silent melody of care.
Qian Duoduo, who had been watching Jin Jinxiu's every move, couldn't help but feel a surge of indescribable emotion. She looked affectionately at her busy yet ever-smiling mother and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Mom, it's so good to have you here with me and taking care of me. Otherwise, if I encountered any unexpected situations or difficulties, I really wouldn't know how to deal with them."
Jin Jinxiu, who was intently massaging her daughter's legs, suddenly heard her daughter's words, full of gratitude and dependence. A radiant smile immediately bloomed on her face. She raised her head slightly, meeting Qian Duoduo's loving gaze, and softly replied, "Silly child, what are you saying? You're my daughter! Taking care of you is a mother's duty. But, I never imagined you'd be carrying four babies! Look at your round belly now, it's almost as big as a woman about to give birth!"
Hearing her mother say this, Qian Duoduo couldn't help but smile wryly and reply, "Mom, please don't tease me. Actually, even I'm quite surprised myself. But thankfully, my sister-in-law's mother has already contacted a hospital for me, and I heard that she's found the top gynecologist in Guangzhou. Given my current condition, it would indeed be quite difficult for me to give birth smoothly on my own. So, having the help of a professional doctor is always reassuring."
Jin Jinxiu nodded slightly in agreement, saying, "That's true. Both babies are more likely to be born prematurely, let alone the fact that you're carrying four this time!"
Qian Duoduo sighed with a hint of helplessness, then replied, "There's really no way to control these things, but luckily my mother-in-law told me that there's a leading expert in obstetrics and gynecology in Beijing who will be coming here to conduct academic research in the next two months. If everything goes smoothly, we should be able to make it."
After listening, Jin Jinxiu nodded and comforted her, "It seems your mother-in-law cares a lot about you and the babies!"
Just as Qian Duoduo was about to continue speaking, the phone suddenly rang urgently again. She reached out to pick it up and softly replied, "Hello."
All that could be heard on the other end of the phone was Lu Yuan's familiar yet slightly anxious voice: "Honey, how are you feeling right now? Is anything bothering you? Please take good care of yourself..."
Qian Duoduo was quite surprised to hear Lu Yuan's voice. She knew that their experiment usually didn't involve contact with the outside world. She was secretly pleased and chatted with Lu Yuan, offering him words of concern. She replied casually, but their conversation didn't last long before she heard the relentless countdown from the other end of the line. Finally, before Lu Yuan could finish speaking, the call abruptly ended.
Jin Jinxiu noticed that Qian Duoduo's expression suddenly turned a little pale, and quickly comforted her, "Yuanzi's work has always been like this, he's always incredibly busy. Didn't you know that when you chose to be with him? The fact that he took the time to call you is already quite good, it's enough to prove that he still cares about you a lot."
Qian Duoduo smiled and said, "I know, Mom, I was mentally prepared, but now that I'm pregnant, my feelings have changed a bit."
