"What?" Suga Akemi thought she had misheard and asked again in disbelief.
"Mom, I'm pregnant. I went to the hospital for a checkup today, and I'm two months along."
"Is she really pregnant?"
"Yes, really."
"Qiu Mei, is Xiao Zhen pregnant?" Hu Jinlong turned his wheelchair over himself.
"Grandpa." Suga Akemi hadn't reacted yet.
Hu Jinlong answered the phone, "Xiao Zhen."
"Grandpa, I went to the hospital for a check-up today, and I'm two months pregnant."
"Haha, that's good. You need to be careful." After saying that, Hu Jinlong handed the phone to his still somewhat dazed granddaughter-in-law.
Suga Akemi took two deep breaths. "Xiao Zhen, are you feeling unwell?"
"Mom, I'm fine, I don't have any symptoms at all. If my mother-in-law hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have known. I was thinking that I hadn't had my period for two months, so Ping An took me to the hospital for a checkup this morning."
"Okay, that's good. It means you're in good health."
"Mom, Ping An said he'll be home early tonight and take me with him."
"Okay, Mom understands. Is there anything you'd like to eat?"
"Mom, I can eat anything. I don't have any particular cravings or dislikes."
"Okay, I'll go buy the groceries and make you some stewed ribs."
"Mom, it's so late at night, let's eat something lighter."
"Shall I steam the fish for you, with fermented black beans?"
"Okay, Mom, I'll go home tonight."
Only after hanging up the phone did a surprised smile appear on Suga Akemi's face.
"Grandpa, that's great! Our Xiaozhen is pregnant. I can finally relax now."
The father and son were so happy that they ate a little more at lunch.
Er Ya came back from grocery shopping. Today she had a rooster, pork ribs, and crucian carp.
"Xiao Zhen, I'll go cook. You go and rest. I'll call you when the food is ready."
"Mom, I'm really fine, I'm perfectly healthy, let me help you."
"Need not."
"Then I'll stay with you. Otherwise, I'll feel uncomfortable. I don't think it's right for you to serve me."
Er Ya laughed, "You can stay with your grandma for a while. I'll call your dad now."
Li Cuihua and Liu Maocai were overjoyed. Their daughter-in-law, Ping An, was truly lovable, and they had a child right after getting married.
Er Ya called her parents out and asked the three of them to sit down and watch TV.
Today, Cheng Guangxu was in a meeting and hadn't even entered the lab when a young woman in the office called out to him, "Vice Dean Cheng, here's your home phone number."
Cheng Guangxu was taken aback. Calling at this time?
"Hello!"
"Cheng Guangxu, you're going to be a grandfather."
"Is Ping An's wife pregnant?"
"Yeah, I found out today. It's been two months. I won't tell you now. Call me when you get off work tonight, and I'll go cook dinner."
"Okay, go ahead."
Cheng Guangxu was so happy that he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
Zeng Zhongkang happened to pass by and saw Cheng Guangxu grinning foolishly at his phone.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"Zeng Zhongkang, I'm going to be a grandfather. Ping An's wife is two months pregnant."
Hahaha, you got married before me, but I had a son and grandson before you.
Enraged, Zeng Zhongkang swung his fist at Cheng Guangxu and said, "Are you looking for a beating?"
"To be honest. But aren't you envious?"
"Get out, don't let me see you today." Zeng Zhongkang said angrily and left, while Cheng Guangxu laughed triumphantly behind him.
The young woman in the office was a little shocked by the sight of these two leaders. Were these the same strict leaders she knew? No way! She rubbed her eyes, while the vice president was still laughing wildly.
The world is going to the dogs; anything can happen.
Zeng Zhongkang saw Cai Peilin; this time, the two of them led the team together.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"I want to punch Cheng Guangxu whenever I see him."
Cai Peilin raised an eyebrow. "What did he do this time?"
"Ping An's wife is two months pregnant. He's acting arrogantly in the office, a petty person who's gotten his way."
"That's all?"
"He asked me if I envied him? I was furious! Zhiyu is coming back too. The first thing he'll do is get married."
Cai Peilin shook his head, seeing Zeng Zhongkang's reaction to the incident. Two childish fools.
Lunch was especially lavish, and the three elderly people watched as Hu Peizhen ate heartily and with relish. They were all very happy, for being able to eat so much was a blessing.
After finishing her meal, Hu Peizhen rubbed her stomach and said, "Mom, I'm full. I didn't even know what it felt like to be full the past two days."
When Li Cuihua remembered to help her mother-in-law tidy up, she didn't stop her. It's good to get some exercise after dinner.
The mother and daughter were cleaning in the kitchen. "Xiao Zhen, what do you want to eat tonight?"
"Mom, Ping An, we'll go back to my mom's house for two nights."
"Yes, that's how it should be. Okay, it's been twenty minutes. Go and rest. You need to eat and sleep more so the baby can grow faster."
Er Ya watched as her daughter-in-law went into the room, and the two elderly people were resting. Only then did she sit down and call Zhang Hongmei.
"Hongmei, Xiaozhen is pregnant, two months along."
"Hehe, that's good news. You'll be a grandma in eight months too."
"Yes, I'm so excited just thinking about it. You don't know, I've been envious of Ruiyang and the others. Now I'm going to be a grandma too."
"Congratulations, Sister Er Ya!"
"Hmm, Hongmei, what should I do if I'm super excited right now?"
"This is a happy thing, we should be excited."
The two then discussed the points to pay attention to during the two-month mark. Er Ya wrote them all down.
After hanging up, she called Sanya again. "Xiaozhen is pregnant. Two months along."
"Sis, why are you so excited? How did you find out?"
"I just noticed that Xiao Zhen eats so much, it seems like she can never get enough to eat."
"Mom and Dad must be so happy, right?"
"That's right, especially Mom, she's practically revolving around Xiao Zhen."
The two sisters chatted for a while longer before Er Ya finally hung up the phone. After thinking for a moment, she called Liu Xu to tell her the good news, and also informed her older brother's family. Finally, she called Wang Ying.
"Sister Er Ya, congratulations! I'm so envious. You're going to be a grandma, and my Zhiyu still doesn't have a wife."
"Isn't Zhiyu coming back too? You should go and find some girls beforehand, so Zhiyu can choose for himself when he gets back."
"Yes, that's what I'm thinking too. I'll start looking for a daughter-in-law after the New Year."
Er Ya made a round of phone calls, but she still felt incredibly excited and couldn't calm down. She sat in the living room for a while, but no, her heart was still pounding.
I checked the time; the old lady should be resting now, right? After thinking about it, I dialed the number anyway.
"Auntie, Xiao Zhen is pregnant, she's two months along."
"Really? Are you sure?" Hu Aifen was overjoyed to hear that.
"Yes, it's confirmed. I went to the hospital for a checkup this morning."
"Good, good, now your mom is happy."
"That's right, my dad and his wife both ate a bit too much at lunch today."
"Please take good care of Xiao Zhen."
“I know, but Xiao Zhen said there’s only one month left before the holidays, so she’ll finish this semester.”
