Chapter 559 Coke for a Fleet
When Sheng Yunfang called back, she naturally told her mother about her pregnancy.
She has been feeling unwell for the past few days, often feeling nauseous and wanting to vomit, and sometimes also experiencing dizziness and discomfort.
Sheng Yunfang went to the hospital for a checkup, and after the examination, the doctor said she was pregnant.
Jiang Yanbin accompanied Sheng Yunfang to the hospital and was so happy to learn that his wife was pregnant that he almost jumped for joy.
So when Sheng Xiping called him, Jiang Yanbin couldn't wait to tell his brother-in-law the good news.
When Zhang Shuzhen learned that her daughter was only a few days pregnant, she couldn't help but give her some advice.
During the first three months of pregnancy, it is important to avoid strenuous physical activity, get plenty of rest, and minimize sexual intercourse to prevent accidents.
Sheng Yunfang kept everything her mother said in mind. The mother and daughter chatted for a while longer before hanging up the phone.
"Mom, didn't you ask Fourth Sister whether she was pregnant with one or twins when she went to the hospital for her checkup?"
The two kids sang with great enthusiasm, and everyone was very supportive, clapping and keeping time. After the two girls finished singing, they didn't forget to applaud.
Everyone chatted for a while, and just then the news broadcast ended.
Sweet potatoes, potatoes, sunflower heads, peanuts, pumpkins, and the last batch of green beans, eggplants, and peppers—a considerable amount of all sorts of food was packed in.
With no other option, Sheng Xiping could only drive his parents back to the forest farm, and then accompany them to the fields to harvest the crops.
So Sheng Xiping worked with his parents to dig up sweet potatoes, peanuts, corn, sunflowers, and beans.
Mooncakes at this time of year are large; four of them weigh one pound.
Just as Zhou Qinglan hung up the phone, she suddenly asked a question.
Before leaving, Sheng Liancheng and Zhang Shuzhen filled the trunk of Sheng Xiping's car to the brim again.
Alexander was still on his way. He arranged for people to bring Sheng Xiping and his party to Chita and settle them in his manor.
Sheng Xiping shook his head and smiled. Twins aren't like radishes and cabbages in a field; you can't just have them whenever you want.
Zhou Qinglan thought about it for a moment and realized that her husband was right. They couldn't let their family have all the good things.
Sheng Liancheng and Zhang Shuzhen smiled broadly, praising their granddaughter.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it's time to harvest the crops in the fields.
The Forestry Bureau has several grain stores, which not only sell grain but also make a variety of snacks.
Well, we can't go to Guangzhou again, so we arranged for Zheng Hua to lead the team. He led the group and drove straight to Harbin, and then took a car from Harbin to the border.
Everyone was quite full after dinner, and no one could finish a whole mooncake, so we simply cut it in half and shared it with each person as a token gesture.
Mooncakes these days don't have as many fillings; they're mostly filled with five kinds of nuts and candied fruit peel.
The kids love this stuff; they always pull out the candied fruit and peel separately and chew it carefully.
On October 14, Sheng Xiping and his entourage crossed the border from Manzhouli to Zabaikalsk.
"The moon is bright on the fifteenth of August, Grandpa makes mooncakes for me..." Sheng Xinyue and Sheng Xinqi, the two children, even sang this song in a very appropriate manner.
Sheng Liancheng was preoccupied with his small plot of land and was unwilling to stay in Songjianghe for long. However, he managed to stay in Songjianghe for another day before insisting on going back.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Xiping knew it must be a big deal.
Now they only allow one child, but if you could have twins, that would be even better.
When Zhou Qinglan said that, everyone realized, "Oh right, how could we have forgotten about that?"
"Honey, you're overthinking it. Twins aren't that easy to come by."
Besides, if it were really twins, wouldn't the fourth son and his wife have mentioned it? The fact that they haven't said anything means she's pregnant with only one.
Everyone ate a mooncake, some fruit, and admired the moon for a while before it got late.
On the morning of the 16th, Alexander arrived in Chita with his men.
After returning to Songjianghe, Sheng Xiping began preparing for the Autumn Trade Fair.
The Sheng family has a history of twins, especially since Sheng Yunfang herself is one of twins.
The chances of it being inherited are greater.
"Great, you sang really well. Our Yueyue and Qiqi have grown up and are getting better and better."
"I heard that big cities now have something called ultrasound, which can tell you how many babies you have, and even the sex of the baby when you're further along in the pregnancy."
After most of the work was recovered, the remaining odds and ends were left to Sheng Liancheng.
Sticky corn, sweet potatoes, millet, red beans, peanuts, sunflower seeds, soybeans—it has all sorts of things.
The children have to go to school tomorrow, so they can't miss their rest. They packed their things and went back to their rooms to sleep.
Normally, we make bread, peach crisps, oven-baked cakes, twisted dough sticks, and steamed rice cakes to supply various stores. We also make glutinous rice balls for the Lantern Festival and bake mooncakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival to distribute as employee benefits to various organizations.
Originally, Sheng Xiping planned to attend the Autumn Trade Fair and had already booked his tickets, but then he suddenly received a call from Alexander.
"Sheng, could you come to Chita? There's something I need to discuss with you. It's not convenient to talk on the phone, so please come over so we can meet and talk."
There are still many things to do on the other side of the Songjiang River, and Sheng Xiping can't afford to be delayed for too long.
Zhang Shuzhen and Zhou Qinglan took the table out and set it in the courtyard, where they also placed mooncakes, fruits, and other items under the full moon.
After four or five days of hard work, which exhausted Sheng Xiping, they finally finished most of the work.
The Sheng family had no shortage of food and drink, and they farmed simply because they liked it, so the five or six acres of land that Sheng Liancheng cultivated were quite lucrative.
The furniture products will be on display in the second phase, in late October, but we need to prepare all the samples, brochures, and various souvenirs in advance.
Upon meeting, Alexander gave Sheng Xiping a very warm hug.
