At the very beginning of the year, Dean Hu received a secret mission that required a group of highly skilled professionals, and Qin Nian's name was prominently listed among them.
Dean Hu reported the situation to his superiors, but the task was arduous, and the feedback from above was that they hoped Qin Nian would participate.
Dean Hu had no choice but to come to Qin Nian.
Yang Yufen was not home, so Dean Hu told Qin Nian what had happened.
"No wonder my teacher's wife found these books for me. I'm willing to do so and am always ready."
Qin Nian made a firm statement.
"I know you would be willing, but what about your mother-in-law?"
"I support Niannian."
Yang Yufen had been listening for a while when she returned to the door.
"Remember her mother-in-law."
Dean Hu did not expect Yang Yufen to return at this time.
"Tomorrow I'll take Niannian to the hospital for a check-up. I'll also prepare some more things for her. I'll ask Dean Hu to take care of her then. When the baby is about to be born, I'll go to be with her during the delivery. Then I'll bring the baby back to take care of her, so Niannian can focus on her work."
"Grandma Niannian, don't worry. The organization is aware of Niannian's situation. This time, Niannian can only work remotely as long as she can't leave the research institute. But she will definitely need to go there later."
There are about three months left, but since twins will arrive earlier, it might be less than three months.
With Yang Yufen's support, Qin Nian felt relieved. Although she was half sure that her mother-in-law wouldn't stop her, the baby in her belly was also very important.
The next day, Yang Yufen took Qin Nian to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said that the due date was around the beginning of April.
"It's okay. I asked the doctor, and newborns can grow strong just like babies who drink formula. You're already thin, so you definitely can't feed two babies. It's better if they drink formula together to save trouble."
Yang Yufen, in turn, comforted Qin Nian.
"Mom, I'm sorry to have troubled you by coming here."
Qin Nian lowered her head.
"What's so tiring about it? It's just that your mother doesn't have the brains for it. Otherwise, I would have gone too. This is for the country's development! Ordinary people would want to go but can't!"
Yang Yufen thought about how harsh the conditions were in some places, and she didn't know where her daughter-in-law would be transferred. Her body was weak after giving birth, and not only the newborn baby needed care, but the mother also needed care.
Yang Yufen began to intentionally collect and accumulate eggs, milk powder, malted milk powder, red dates, goji berries, and ginseng slices.
It's okay if the money is spent, as long as the people are good.
Candy and cookies are also essential; even though she's still at home, Yang Yufen feels that no amount of preparation is enough.
However, Qin Nian was unaware of this, because she returned to the research institute the next day to start working, and every day after work she would come back and read books.
"Hey Yang, you went to the department store again today?"
As the weather warms up, Aunt Liu has started going out for some exercise.
"Well, I'm bored at home, so I'm going out for a walk. Do you want to come?"
"Hey, wanna hitch a ride? How's your daughter Niannian doing?"
Aunt Liu was helped onto the truck bed.
"Work is tiring, but thankfully the child is well-behaved and cares about her mother. However, she has clearly lost weight, so I need to buy her some good food to help her recover."
“You also care about your daughter-in-law. It’s a blessing for Niannian to have a mother-in-law like you.”
"That depends on what kind of daughter-in-law she is. Niannian is sensible, filial, and smart. Who wouldn't like her!"
Yes, yes, yes.
The two talked back and forth, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the department store.
The sales clerks at the department store were all familiar with Yang Yufen.
"Aunt Yang, your order has arrived. Would you like to look at the item first, or go look at something else?"
What good stuff have you got lately?
Yang Yufen asked with a smile.
