After treating everyone to lunch, Su Lu, seeing that there was no work due to the heavy snow, simply told the team leader and ran off.
The captain had just accepted his favor, so of course he turned a blind eye. Once Su Lu left, he went all the way and let everyone go, leaving only another veteran driver to keep watch.
Su Lu ignored Qin Xiaoxiao's advice and went to Qin Hai's place to order two servings of braised pork and a serving of pork bone soup. She also bought two large bowls of shredded pork noodles. Qin Hai was worried that the noodles would clump together and become inedible when they got home, so he used his own lunchbox and the restaurant's lunchbox to separate the noodles and soup. He figured that once they got home, they could just heat up the soup and eat it.
Su Lu paid the money and rode his bike home at breakneck speed. When he got home, Qin Xiaoxiao was thinking about making tofu. Hearing a noise at the door, she looked up and saw Su Lu returning in the pouring rain.
Su Lu stood at the doorway, looking at Qin Xiaoxiao with a bright smile, "Wife, I bought you something delicious."
Sunny and handsome, tall and dashing, with red lips and white teeth, a jade-faced enchantress—how to describe him? Qin Xiaoxiao felt that no beautiful words were worthy of describing Su Lu. She felt that this face should only exist in heaven and should not be used to harm her on earth.
Qin Xiaoxiao sighed, stood up with her hand on her belly, quietly walked to Su Lu, looked up into his eyes, and stretched out her arms to hug him around the waist.
Wow, even though it's a bit cold, that waistline... wow, wasp waist, narrow hips, and eight-pack abs, wow!
Fortunately, only she can see it, otherwise how many women's eyes would she have gouged out?
Su Lu, who was suddenly embraced, dared not move, but he was afraid that the coldness on his body would upset Qin Xiaoxiao, and he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
Fortunately, Qin Xiaoxiao knew she was pregnant and, fearing she might fall on her devilish husband, swallowed a couple of times before letting go of him.
Relieved to be free, Su Lu put his lunchbox on the table, quickly took off his coat, and went shirtless to warm himself by the stove.
"Honey, wait a moment. Once I'm warm by the fire, you can hug me."
Qin Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. "Who wants to hug you! I just... I was seduced by your face, that's why I was so confused and hugged you."
Despite saying that, Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes never left Su Lu, staring intently at his eight-pack abs.
Su Lu felt hot all over under Qin Xiaoxiao's gaze, but dared not move. He could only awkwardly change his posture and turn his back to Qin Xiaoxiao.
"Honey, if we keep watching like this, something bad will happen. You're pregnant. Let's talk about it when we go to the hospital."
If you look closely, you'll see that Su Lu's entire back is red, and the base of his ears is so red it looks like it could bleed.
Seeing Su Lu's appearance, Qin Xiaoxiao secretly chuckled, but still turned her head away with heartache.
The gaze that had been fixed on him disappeared, and Su Lu breathed a sigh of relief. After a long while, he was finally able to turn around and look his wife in the eye.
"Why are you home so early again today?"
Su Lu smiled and said, "It was raining today, so the captain released everyone early, and we've all come back."
Su Lu only found out about this when she ran into a colleague at Qin Hai's place.
Qin Xiaoxiao nodded, glancing at the lunchbox on the table. "So you still went to my second uncle's place after all?"
Su Lu's face tightened, and he leaned close to Qin Xiaoxiao with a fawning smile, "It's because I was afraid that what I made wouldn't suit your taste. If you don't eat enough, your body can't handle it. Now you're eating for two people, so you need to supplement your nutrition. Only when you have enough nutrition can you and the baby both be healthy."
Qin Xiaoxiao didn't say anything more this time, just nodded, agreeing with his statement.
Su Lu breathed a sigh of relief again; he knew he had passed the hurdle of the morning.
The two ate the shredded pork noodles, but didn't drink the remaining bone broth, planning to save it for when Qin Xiaoxiao got hungry later that night. They also didn't eat the braised pork, as Qin Xiaoxiao felt nauseous just looking at it.
Upon learning that Qin Xiaoxiao felt nauseous, Su Lu became anxious again, circling around her all night until he finally fell asleep peacefully under her glare at nightfall.
Three more days passed, and finally the weather cleared up. Early in the morning, Qin Feng rang the village bell with great enthusiasm.
As soon as the bell rang, everyone in the village knew that they could go to work today.
Smoke rose from every household's chimney, and the aroma of food filled the village. Qin Xiaoxiao, after being strongly persuaded by Su Lu, gnawed on two large bones. Then Su Lu took her to the county hospital.
It was the same old Chinese medicine doctor from last time. He still remembered Su Lu and Qin Xiaoxiao, especially when Su Lu took out a notebook and started taking notes seriously, the old doctor's bad memories were completely revived.
Qin Xiaoxiao looked at the old Chinese medicine doctor embarrassedly, "Ahem, doctor, we left in a hurry last time and forgot to ask how many months pregnant I am?"
The old Chinese medicine doctor's face darkened, and he almost chased the two of them out.
What a disgrace! The only stain on my career is this young couple in front of me.
When someone is pregnant, wouldn't they proactively ask how many months along they are and what their due date is? But this couple was different; they forgot to ask and didn't even bother to come back and ask him. Instead, they waited more than a month before remembering to ask.
The old Chinese medicine doctor suppressed his anger and said, "You're four months along now. Your belly is big because you're carrying twins. Remember to come to the hospital when you give birth, or there will be danger."
Furthermore, twin pregnancies usually result in earlier due dates, so the normal calculation method doesn't apply. Your due date is after New Year's Day, so there's no rush.
Before Su Lu could ask any questions, the old Chinese medicine doctor wrote down the precautions for twin pregnancy and handed them to Su Lu.
"Your pregnancy looks good. Just remember not to eat too well, move around often, and don't do heavy work, or you'll suffer during childbirth."
Qin Xiaoxiao knew that if you eat too well, the baby will get too big and it will be difficult to give birth. It's hard to give birth to even one child, let alone two. There would definitely be dangers then.
Upon hearing that there was danger, Su Lu's joy at his wife's recent twin pregnancy vanished completely. He stared nervously at the doctor, "Doctor, does that mean as long as my wife eats less, doesn't eat too well, and doesn't let the babies get too big, she'll be safe?"
The old Chinese medicine doctor's face darkened again. "There are risks involved in childbirth. I've never heard of childbirth being a ghost... Ah, ah? ~ So, whether it's one, two, or three, there are risks. It's best to come to the hospital to prepare for delivery when you reach your due date."
This time, Su Lu understood. Basically, childbirth is dangerous, so coming to the hospital was the right thing to do.
Amidst Su Lu's incessant nagging, the old doctor took Qin Xiaoxiao's pulse again and told the two that both the child and the adult were fine and should go home and rest well.
The couple came out of the hospital, looked at each other, and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Okay, now I know when I'll give birth. I just need to come to the hospital early.
Su Lu has already started planning what to prepare for the child.
Things like swaddle blankets and baby clothes should be prepared in pairs, preferably in green or blue, just in case both are boys.
Of course, Su Lu hoped that both children would be girls, but he was afraid that Qin Xiaoxiao would get angry if he said it, so he didn't mention it. However, he still decided to prepare two sets of pink clothes for the children to wear.
