"Wife, from now on, you need to make a few more of those little clothes you prepared."
"Yes!" Ding Qiunan nodded blankly. Now that there are two children, they have to prepare more of everything.
"Ah..." The girl scratched her hair and looked at Li Chu pitifully.
"What's wrong? Are you still worried?" Li Chu asked, ruffling the girl's hair.
"With you here, I'm not worried, but it's a bit of a hassle because there's so much to prepare."
"It's okay, I'll call my sister later and ask her, as my aunt, to help with the preparations too."
I need to tell my sister as soon as possible, otherwise I'll get scolded again.
I need to write another letter to Uncle Wang to explain that both Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang are very concerned about Ding Qiunan's pregnancy.
Li Chu pulled her back to sit on the sofa in the living room and then called his brother-in-law's house.
The call was answered quickly, and my brother-in-law's voice came through the phone.
"Brother-in-law, it's me, Xiao Chu. Have you eaten yet?"
The phone's sound is distorted and has a lot of static, so I have to shout every time I make a call.
Li Chu genuinely dislikes current telephones, but having one at home is indeed quite convenient.
"Brother-in-law, let my sister answer the phone. I need to tell her something."
"What's the matter that you need to call me about?" came the voice of her older sister, Li Qin, from the other end of the phone.
"Sis, I have some good news for you."
"What good news? You've become the director of your hospital?" Li Qin joked on the other end of the phone.
After hearing her sister's words, Li Chu felt a wave of exasperation. How could her sister be talking so recklessly these days?
"Sister, what are you saying? How could that be? It's about Qiu Nan. Qiu Nan is pregnant with twins."
Li Chu didn't keep them in suspense and told them directly.
"What what what? Xiao Chu, say it again."
The voice on the other end of the phone rose in disbelief. The volume made Li Chu's head buzz.
As Li Qin spoke, a loud crashing sound came from a chair falling to the ground.
"What's wrong? What happened to Xiao Chu?" Wang Ziwen's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Li Qin's appearance startled Wang Ziwen, who thought something had happened to Li Chu.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'll tell you later," Li Qin explained to Wang Ziwen before speaking into the phone.
"Xiao Chu, was what you just said true or false?"
"Sis, this is no joke. I only told you after I confirmed it."
Li Chu glanced at his wife and smiled wryly. Ding Qiunan was also sitting there smiling at him. She could hear Li Qin's loud voice clearly from her side.
"I'm coming right now." Before she could finish speaking, Li Qin hung up the phone.
Li Chu shook his head helplessly; his sister was always so energetic and efficient.
He didn't waste any time and quickly dialed back.
Li Qin hung up the phone and went straight to the door, took her coat from the hook, and prepared to get dressed and go out.
"Ziwen, I'm going to Xiao Chu's place. He said on the phone that Qiu Nan is pregnant with twins, and I'm a little worried. I'm going to check on her."
Before Wang Ziwen could say anything, the phone rang again.
"Xiaoqin, don't worry, it must be Xiao Chu calling again," Wang Ziwen said while answering the phone.
"Xiao Chu, okay, I'll have her answer."
Wang Ziwen, holding the phone receiver, said to Li Qin, "Come answer the phone quickly."
"What's wrong? Didn't I tell you I'd be right there?" Li Qin said hurriedly as she answered the phone.
"Sis, I didn't call to ask you to come over right now; it's already dark outside. I just wanted to let you know. We live so close; we can see each other all day long, so don't bother running around at night."
Listening to her brother's words, Li Qin gradually calmed down and asked, "Xiao Chu, when did you find out? Are you sure?"
"I was taking Qiu Nan's pulse today to check her health and I only discovered it by chance. The pulse I felt at noon and just now was the same, so there shouldn't be any problem."
"Is Qiu Nan here? Let her answer the phone."
Li Chu handed the phone to the girl: "Here, I want to talk to you."
After Ding Qiunan answered the phone, Li Qin said, "Qiunan, your task now is to rest well and not overthink things. Let Xiao Chu do all the housework and stuff; he's a grown man, he won't get tired..."
Li Qin was giving the girl detailed instructions over the phone. I don't know if she was tired from talking, but Li Chu, who was listening nearby, was tired of listening too.
Finally hanging up the phone, Ding Qiunan and Li Chu both breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at each other and smiled.
At Li Qin's house, Wang Ziwen saw her finally hang up the phone and had the same reaction, which Li Qin overheard and glared at him fiercely.
Jiayuan and Jiadong were inside when they heard their mother talking on the phone outside, so they ran to the living room.
"Mom, does Auntie have two babies in her belly?" Jia Yuan asked, leaning closer to Li Qin.
"Yes, in a few months you'll have two younger brothers at the same time. Aren't you happy?"
“But…” Jia Yuan looked at her mother’s belly: “How can such a small belly hold two babies?”
"Oh dear, Yuanyuan, you're so silly. Your aunt's belly will get bigger and then it will be able to fit." Jiadong interrupted before his mother could speak, sticking out his belly as he spoke and gesturing with both hands in front of it.
Everyone was amused by Wang Jiadong's actions, but Li Qin's brows still held a lingering sadness as she laughed.
After sending the two little ones into the house, Wang Ziwen looked at Li Qin and said, "Why are you still worried? Twins are a good thing."
Li Qin rolled her eyes at her husband: "It's a good thing, that's true, but it's dangerous."
"Xiao Chu is a doctor himself, how could he not take good care of his wife?"
“He’s a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, not an obstetrician. Besides, he’s never taken care of pregnant women before. Look how thin Qiu Nan is.”
Wang Ziwen walked over and put her arm around Li Qin's shoulder: "You, you just worry too much and make a mistake. Have you forgotten the medicine Xiao Chu prescribed for us? After taking it for so long, you should know what your body is like, right?"
After hearing his words, Li Qin's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and the sorrow in her brows slowly faded away.

After hanging up the phone, Ding Qiunan leaned on Li Chu's shoulder and whispered, "Li Chu, how come there are two babies?"
"I don't understand this either. I was shocked when I found out at noon."
"Let's go back to my home this week when we have time off, and let my parents know too."
"I'd better go back by myself. You know what's been going on along the way. I'm a little worried about you coming back with me."
Ding Qiunan thought for a moment and nodded helplessly. For the sake of the two children in her belly, she had to be extremely careful in everything she did.
The two sat on the sofa chatting until the girl finished the milk powder they had made for her, and then they went into the bedroom to rest.
