As Dr. Ma watched Gu An'an's composure fade and be replaced by shock and joy, a smile unconsciously appeared on his face as well. "In my experience, it's probably very close. To be 100% certain, we can verify it with an ultrasound, but we don't have that kind of machine here yet."
Actually, she went there to learn about this kind of knowledge, but it will still be some time before the hospital introduces that kind of equipment. By then, this young girl in front of me will probably have already given birth.
"If you want to have an ultrasound, I can recommend a hospital to you."
"No need, it's just that my belly is bigger than usual, and I'm a little worried. As long as the baby is healthy, that's all that matters, and I trust Dr. Ma's medical skills."
Xiao Yuheng had told her about Dr. Ma's background; his ancestors were imperial physicians, so he was truly skilled.
She said she was having twins, so it's practically certain.
No one dislikes being trusted, and Dr. Ma is no exception. "You are indeed a blessed child. Now that you are pregnant with twins, you need to be even more careful. The next few months will be more difficult than with a single pregnancy, so you need to be mentally prepared."
"Furthermore, twin pregnancies tend to occur earlier than usual, so it's important to come to the hospital promptly if any problems arise."
Gu An'an nodded to each doctor's order, and then walked home with the help of the village chief's wife.
"An'an, the doctor said you have two in your belly."
The village chief's wife was a little slow to realize that her joke had actually come true.
Twins! Not everyone is fortunate enough to have that.
"Hmm, Dr. Ma is quite experienced in this area. It seems I really do have two troublemakers in my belly. No wonder I vomited so badly before."
Although it was meant as a complaint, Gu An'an looked blissful.
"Great, great, twins are wonderful, whether they're boys or girls. Our family loves them all."
"Oh dear, if those old women in the village knew, they'd be so jealous! Hahaha, all the good things have been taken by the Wang and Xiao families."
Gu An'an felt that the village chief's wife was exaggerating a bit, but she didn't say anything to spoil the mood.
There's nothing we can do; she thinks she's really that great.
"How about we make a phone call before going home?"
The village chief's wife contacted her, saying that she really wanted to tell her family the good news as soon as possible, but ever since she learned that Gu An'an was pregnant with twins, she dared not let her go out alone, for fear that something might happen to Gu An'an where she couldn't see her, and then she would be a sinner for all eternity.
"good".
It's been almost a week, and it's time to make the call. She doesn't mind letting her family know the good news a day earlier.
Judging by the time, Xiao's parents should still be at the factory, so I'll just give them a call.
Hello, who is this?
"It's me!"
The phone rang before the agreed time, startling Xiao's mother who thought something had happened. "Sister-in-law, why are you calling now? What happened? Is An'an alright?"
The village chief's wife understood her thoughts and quickly said, "It's alright, An'an is fine, don't worry! I called today to tell you some good news."
"What good news?"
The village chief's wife wanted to speak herself, but then swallowed her words. "Let An'an tell you. Wait a moment."
The microphone fell into Gu An'an's hands, and before she could speak, Xiao's mother on the other end of the line was already impatiently asking, "An'an, how have you been lately? Has the baby been fussy?"
"No, they've been behaving quite well lately."
Xiao's mother was quite perceptive and immediately seized on the loophole in her words, "Them?"
Gu An'an smiled and said, "Yes, Dr. Ma is back. I just went to see her, and she said I might be carrying twins."
"What? Two?"
Xiao Ma's face was filled with joy, her voice unconsciously rose, and she stood up. The poor chair was not prepared and unexpectedly fell backward with a loud "bang".
There were two other people in the office who looked at her when they heard the noise, wondering what had happened that could surprise their factory director's wife so much.
"That's what Dr. Ma said, but it was ultimately confirmed that I had to go to another hospital for an ultrasound. However, the baby is very healthy now, so I don't want to go through any more trouble."
After calming down a bit, Xiao's mother immediately said, "Okay, if you don't want to film, then don't film. Whether it's one or two, Mom is happy. The most important thing is that they are healthy."
"Do you feel any different now?"
"Nothing is different, except that my belly is a size bigger than normal. Dr. Ma said that I might go into labor earlier than usual."
Xiao's mother was both happy and worried. Pregnant with twins at once was no joke. Back then, she had a tough time even with just one child, so you can imagine how tiring it would be to be pregnant and give birth to twins.
"An'an, you've really worked hard this time. If there's anything you need, be sure to tell us. If you have any requests, just tell us directly. Don't skimp on food and drinks. I'll find some more tickets and send them to you later."
Gu An'an immediately refused, "No need, I just finished translating the manuscript, and they settled my payment and gave me a bunch of receipts. I don't need anything. You can keep the money for yourselves and don't skimp on food and drink."
These words warmed Xiao's mother's heart. She felt proud but also a little sorry for her. "You're pregnant, it must be so hard for you. Put the translation work aside for now, your health is more important."
Gu An'an agreed quickly, "I know, it's just that I'm bored at home with nothing to do, so this is a good way to pass the time. I'll rest when I'm tired, and my aunt is keeping an eye on me, so don't worry."
"Okay, okay, as long as you're happy."
"Wait a minute, I'll have your dad come over and answer the phone, don't hang up."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao's mother flew out like a gust of wind. On the way, she told Xiao's father about the matter in a few words. When Xiao's father came to answer the phone, he was radiant. He praised Gu An'an into the phone, describing her as the best daughter-in-law of the modern era.
To be honest, Gu An'an felt a little embarrassed listening to this, but the couple spoke very fluently.
After the call ended, the other people in the office started gossiping.
"Director Wang, was that your daughter-in-law's phone call just now?"
Xiao's mother nodded with a beaming smile, "Yes, this child calls us whenever something happens. She's even more considerate than a daughter. She also tells us not to skimp on food and drink at home."
"Oh dear, that's really a case of comparing goods and throwing them away. My heartless wife has even forgotten about her mother after she got married."
"Director Wang, I just heard you say 'two,' does that mean your daughter-in-law is pregnant with twins?"
Xiao's mother was waiting for these words. Upon hearing them, she pursed her lips and said, "You all heard that? I didn't want to say it, afraid you would think I was showing off. The child went for a prenatal checkup today, and the doctor said she's pregnant with twins. I've never had twins before, so I called back."
