Just as Yunqi finished eating the barbecue he had brought back, there was a knock on the door. The moment he opened the door and saw Sicheng, Yunqi rushed over and hugged Sicheng's waist.
"Be careful, take care of your health, and check on your condition."
"You're yelling at me? Does having a baby mean I'm no longer the most important person to you?" Yunqi's eyes reddened as she finished speaking.
"How could that be? In my heart, you are the most important person, and I want to spend my whole life with you. I just want you to be careful not to hurt yourself."
"I don't know why I'm like this. I suddenly became sentimental. I was probably too excited. I'll definitely be back to normal in a couple of days," Yun Qi said after calming down and reflecting on his actions.
"Don't worry, honey. I'll take good care of you. I'll do whatever you need to do from now on. You can also vent your anger on me."
"Honey, I still want to eat the meat dumplings from South Street."
"Okay, I'll go buy it in a bit. Is there anything else you want to eat? I'll buy a lot while I'm here so I can have it whenever I want." After thinking for a moment, Si Cheng felt that this was not quite right. "I'd rather go to the hotel and order some food for you. I don't know how clean food outside is. It's okay to eat it occasionally, but you should eat it less often in your condition."
"It's okay, you buy more, I'll just eat less. We can store the leftovers there, and it'll be hard to find these local specialties again."
When Si Cheng brought home a lot of groceries, Yun Qi started another round of eating. Seeing that Yun Qi ate more than twice the usual amount, Si Cheng quickly stopped her, telling her to eat smaller, more frequent meals, and took her for a walk downstairs.
"Qibao, have you called and told your parents yet?"
"Oh! I forgot." She said, picking up her phone to dial her home number.
"Mom, what are you doing? Have you eaten yet?" It was Yun's mother who answered the phone.
"We just finished eating. How's Xiao Qi doing lately? Has Si Cheng come to see you?"
"Cheng is with me now, Mom. Where's Dad?"
"Your father went to your second grandfather's house. Your cousin's family has all moved back. It seems he was transferred to the military unit here."
"That's great! We can take care of Second Grandfather and the others nearby. Oh, and I have some good news for you. Can you guess what it is?"
"What good news? You won the grand prize!" Mother Yun guessed, her imagination running wild.
"We've won the grand prize! Our family is going to have a new member."
"..." There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, then the mother excitedly said, "Xiaoqi, are you pregnant?"
"Yes, are you happy?"
"Happy, happy." Mother Yun nodded happily, forgetting that Yun Qi couldn't see.
"There's something even more exciting," Yunqi said, keeping everyone in suspense.
"This is already the happiest thing! Wait a moment, I'll go and call your dad back right away." Mother Yun couldn't wait to share the good news with Father Yun. Before Yun Qi could reply, she ran off to find Father Yun.
"Mom was so excited that she didn't even let me finish speaking," Yunqi complained, turning back to look at Cheng Ge.
"Mom is so happy, why don't I tell her later?"
"Okay, I guess I'll definitely have to tell Dad later." After saying that, she covered her mouth and laughed.
"Xiao Qi, am I going to be a grandfather?"
"Dad, it's my Sicheng."
"Oh, it's Sicheng. How's Xiaoqi? Is she alright? How many months pregnant is she? You need to take good care of her." Yun's father asked several questions in quick succession.
"Everything is fine, it's been over two months already. And they're twins."
"Twins, great! Great!" Upon hearing this, Yun's father could only excitedly say "great, great, great!"
"Are they twins?" Mother Yun snatched the phone. "Should we go and take care of them?"
"No need, I already resigned last month, and I can complete the formalities next week. I'll move in with Brother Cheng then, so you don't need to worry," Yunqi said as he took the phone. "Besides, I just had a check-up today, and the doctor said everything is fine."
After giving a long list of instructions, Yun's mother hung up the phone.
"Honey, I'm so happy." Although his mother was a little nagging, Yunqi could feel his parents' love.
"I am very happy, it's so good to have you all."
"Does that mean we'll have to buy a lot of baby supplies? I suddenly feel like no matter how much we buy, it won't be enough, what should we do?"
"Don't be too nervous. If you don't want to rest right now, let's make a schedule." Si Cheng knew that Yun Qi was starting to get stuck on a rut again, so he skillfully changed the subject.
Sure enough, upon hearing Si Cheng's suggestion, she immediately took out a notebook from her spatial storage and began to write and draw, while Si Cheng offered his advice from the side.
"By the way, I just heard my mom say that my second grandfather's cousin's whole family has been transferred to the military unit back in their hometown. Do you think it might be related to the construction of a security base?"
"That's right. Many projects here have been halted, even those that were only half-finished are now abandoned. It seems quite a few people have received the news." She then looked at Yun Qi, "Qi Bao, have you finished handing things over at your company? Can you leave early?"
"It's probably not ready yet; there are still some things that haven't been handed over. What's wrong? Is there something you need?"
"I was planning to take you to pick up a batch of goods this weekend. I had Monkey place an order for this batch of goods under their company's name. Monkey will handle the process for me. We just need to pick up the goods before their company receives them. It's going to be this Sunday afternoon. But time is too tight. I'm worried that traveling between two places like this will take a toll on your health."
"I'm not that fragile. If a colleague hadn't commented on my weight gain today, I wouldn't have realized I was pregnant. I don't have any symptoms right now, I'm just eating more. You don't need to be too nervous, I'll go with you after work tomorrow."
"If you feel unwell at all, you must tell me." Si Cheng was still a little worried.
"Will your order for this batch of goods affect Brother Monkey?"
"No, he will handle it well. Monkey and Angkor have both purchased some of these. They have also sensed something unusual, and they have been gradually expanding eastward during this period."
Won't this attract attention?
"Silly Xiaoqi, do you think the country doesn't know? It's just that the power of the masses is great. At this time, as long as we can bring in supplies from outside, they will always end up in the pockets of our people. What's the difference between collective and individual?"
"That's right. At this time, it doesn't matter if it's a white cat or a black cat, as long as it can catch mice, it's a good cat."
