Zhang Erni looked towards Jiangnan secretly.

This is the man Ye Xiaoxiao brought. Could it be that she has changed her boyfriend?

It looks weird.

Zhang Erni asked in a low voice who this was.

Ye Xiaoxiao could only say that this was her cousin who came here to play for a few days.

"Cousin, I thought she was your partner."

Ye Xiaoxiao: "No, my partner didn't come back this time."

Zhang Erni gossiped, "Then you are not in a hurry to get married. Look, I am pregnant, and you are still a virgin."

Ye Xiaoxiao finally understood how Ye Changning felt about being urged to get married. She held Zhang Erni's wrist and changed the subject: "Let me show you the condition of the fetus."

Zhang Erni really didn't bother to repeat what she had just said: "Oh, I forgot you're a doctor."

Ye Xiaoxiao placed her fingers on Zhang Erni's wrist and made a careful diagnosis.

"The fetus is developing well."

Zhang Erni asked in a low voice: "Can you tell whether it's a boy or a girl?"

Ye Xiaoxiao could tell, but she didn't say it directly. Instead, she asked, "Do you want a boy or a girl?"

Zhang Erni: "Fei Qing and I are both fine, and my parents-in-law also think it's okay to have a boy or a girl. But even though they say that, if this baby is a girl, they will definitely urge me to have a second one.

I don't want to get pregnant in the short term, I just want to get it done in one go.

If I hadn’t met you today, I would have wanted to go to the hospital for a checkup.”

Nowadays, the sex of the fetus is not so secretive, and many hospitals can tell pregnant women.

Ye Xiaoxiao reminded her, "Go to a regular hospital for a checkup, don't go to some small, black clinic."

Zhang Erni: "That's for sure. Whether it's a boy or a girl, I have to give birth to it safely."

Ye Xiaoxiao told her partner, "From the pulse, the probability of it being a girl is relatively high, but it is not 100% certain. The most important thing for you now is to take good care of the baby."

Zhang Erni touched her belly and said, "It's a girl. I like girls too, but I hope they don't look too much like me. Tall and strong ones don't look good."

Ye Xiaoxiao felt that Zhang Erni had misunderstood her. She was very tall, good-looking, and had a definite aura of beauty.

After Ye Xiaoxiao praised her a few words, Zhang Erni's worries disappeared and she was completely immersed in the joy of having a daughter.

"Come to my house for dinner later."

"No, my brother and I will go shopping again."

"How many days will you stay here? We can always have some time to have a meal together."

"I'll only stay for three to five days this time. We'll meet again next time, after you have your baby."

If they went out to eat, Ye Xiaoxiao would not dare to take the pregnant woman with her, so they could only make an appointment for dinner next time.

Although Zhang Erni was a little disappointed, she expressed her understanding.

After meeting her friends, Ye Xiaoxiao went to the local supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things to take home.

Because she hadn't been back for a few days, Ye Xiaoxiao did not return to Bai Village.

I only stayed at my eldest brother's house for a few days, during which time I visited my grandmother and my eldest and second sisters respectively.

Ye Changqing also came back.

놛I haven't seen Xiaoxiao for two years, and I've always been worried about her.

Ye Changqing has made good progress in mining in the past two years, and the mines in this mountain can be mined for at least another ten years.

However, as he got more and more involved in the mining industry and became more proficient in the business, he began to think about going it alone.

It's just that I'm lacking the right opportunity right now.

As long as he sees a suitable mine, Ye Changqing will find a way to contract it and develop it himself.

Ye Changqing had never told anyone about this idea, but only chatted with Ye Xiaoxiao for a few words when Ye Xiaoxiao asked about his current situation.

Ye Xiaoxiao understood what Ye Changqing meant.

"Brother, if you really want to work alone, then we also have mines at home."

Ye Xiaoxiao thought hard and wondered if there was any famous mining area in the future that had not yet been developed.

But she didn't care about the country's mining development in her previous life and couldn't remember a single place.

Ye Changqing didn't know that his family had a mine, so he just smiled and said, "It's just an idea, but it still requires a lot of funds to support it."

Ye Xiaoxiao: "You can get a loan now. I'll pool the remaining money with my third brother. Call me when you need it, eldest brother."

If Ye Xiaoxiao hadn't been abroad for two years, she really wouldn't have been able to save any money and would have probably used it to buy a house.

Fortunately, she didn't ask for specific fees and didn't spend money recklessly in the past two years.

Ye Changqing: "Don't worry about it. I have a way to solve the funding problem. If you really need it, I won't be polite to you."

"I heard that you did an internship. Was it in a unit in Beijing?"

Ye Changqing finally got to the point.

Ye Xiaoxiao looked at her father who was chopping wood in the yard, and her mother and sister-in-law who were picking vegetables and chatting in the outer room.

Ye Changqing had a bad feeling when he saw the sneaky look on his face.

"Actually, I want to go to the northwest." Ye Xiaoxiao said embarrassedly.

Ye Changqing frowned: "Where is the northwest? It can't be a vast desert with no smoke."

Ye Xiaoxiao: "There are grasslands and oases there too."

Ye Changqing snorted coldly, "It's definitely not there where you went."

Ye Xiaoxiao smiled ingratiatingly, "I don't know yet, but I want to go and take a look."

Ye Changqing looked at his fair and clean sister with long flowing hair.

Ye Xiaoxiao was not raised in our home before, so we don't know how she lived, but I believe she was not bad.

After returning home, I haven't even washed the dishes, let alone doing heavy work.

Ye Changqing asked her to think about it carefully. "There might not even be water there. Can you bear it?"

Ye Xiaoxiao nodded hesitantly.

"I haven't told my parents yet."

Ye Changqing sighed, "How long will it take?"

Ye Xiaoxiao: "About six or seven months. I have to go back to school in May next year to handle graduation matters."

Ye Changqing couldn't persuade her, and it seemed that the little girl didn't want to tell her parents.

Ye Changqing could understand this. His parents were getting older, and they would definitely be worried if they knew that Xiaoxiao was going to such a far place, thinking it would be bad for her health.

Ye Changqing: "Even if you go to the northwest, you have to write a letter home every month. I didn't receive the letter, and I will definitely not hide it from you."

This is what it means to agree to help Ye Xiaoxiao keep it a secret.

Ye Xiaoxiao saluted her elder brother with a standard military salute, "Yes, I promise to complete the task."

Zhang Xue just came in from outside. "What mission? You two siblings seem to be having a good chat."

"My eldest brother asked me to write more letters home."

Zhang Xue: "We have a phone at home. If you have any urgent matters, please call us directly and I will pass the message to you."

Ye Xiaoxiao thought of something and said, "Brother, you should also get a mobile phone."

Ye Changqing: "We can't get signals from that thing here, it's not as convenient as a phone. Did you see the third brother showing off with a cell phone?"

"Yes, Third Brother is very fashionable now, a trendsetter."

These words happened to be heard by Ye Jianguo who had just entered the room.

"You're just messing around, running around outside all day and not even going home."

Ye Jianguo complained, but in fact he missed his son and was just too embarrassed to say it.
