Xu Ning immediately suppressed his laughter and asked, "When did you give birth last night? Was the baby smooth?"
"It was pretty quick. The baby was born in just over an hour. My daughter was very caring and didn't let me suffer."
After that, he looked at Xu Ning's belly and said, "You need to move more in the next few months so that you can give birth faster."
Wei Lanlan also nodded and agreed, "Your belly is too big now, and it's inconvenient for you to work. Walk around in the yard after dinner."
Xu Ning listened very carefully to the experiences shared by the two experienced people.
In the evening, Xu's mother and Lu's mother came quietly with a bag filled with children's clothes and shoes, with two copies of each item. Ever since they knew Xu Ning was pregnant, they had already started preparing.
She looked at the clothes and shoes in the bag and said, "Mom, you guys made too much. Children grow fast and they will be too small to wear by the time they are done."
Xu Ma said, "How can this be considered a lot? There are two children."
Mother Lu also smiled and said, "Don't worry about these things. We are the two of you. Take good care of yourself so that you will suffer less during the birth."
When the spring planting was over, Xu Ning's belly had grown bigger again, and the elders were a little worried when they saw it.
Father Lu said to Xu An, "Xiao An, write a letter to your brother-in-law and tell him your sister's due date and ask him to come back half a month earlier."
Xu An said, "Uncle Lu, my brother-in-law already knows about it. He said he will be back when the time comes."
Father Xu pondered for a moment and said, "Write him another letter and tell him that it was me who said that. Ask him to try not to go on missions during this period and come back early."
Xu An asked in surprise, "Uncle Lu, is there something wrong with my sister?"
Father Xu smiled and said, "It's okay. It's just that your sister is pregnant with two babies at once. How can he not be around to take care of her?"
Xu An nodded and said, "Okay, I'll write it to him when I get back."
"Xiao An, take your sister to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow."
"Okay, Uncle Lu, I understand."
After Xu An left, Xu's father and mother asked nervously, "Brother Lu, is Xiao Ning okay?"
Dad Lu said, "I checked Xiaoning's belly today, I'm afraid she's pregnant with more than two babies."
Father Xu shouted in surprise, "What? More than two? How many are you pregnant with?"
Mother Xu also asked nervously, "Isn't Xiao Ning in danger?"
Mother Lu took Mother Xu's hand and patted it, saying, "If it's a normal birth, it won't be a big deal. Let's not tell her for now, so as not to add to her psychological burden."
Father Lu said, "The medical facilities in the county are not good. When Xiaotang comes back, let him take Xiaoning to Qi City Hospital to give birth. Your eldest sister and I will find a way to go with them then."
Xu Ning knew nothing about this. She only felt that her stomach was much bigger than before and her appetite had increased. Not long after she finished her meal, she felt hungry again.
Xu Mo now cooks five meals a day for her, but never lets her eat enough. This kid is very stubborn and gives her a fixed amount of food, not allowing her to eat more than one bite.
She also said that it was Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu who told her to be good and listen to the doctor.
Xu An came back from work and said to her, "Sister, I'm going to take a day off tomorrow and take you to the hospital for a checkup."
Xu Ning smiled and said, "Xiao An, no need. Didn't you just go for a checkup a while ago? The doctor said there's nothing wrong."
"Sister, let's go take a look. I've already taken a leave. I picked a lot of wild vegetables yesterday, so I'll just bring them to Grandpa Wang."
Xu Ning laughed, looking at the boy in front of him who was almost seventeen years old.
It has been exactly six years since she traveled through time, and most of these six years have been spent with this young man.
Seeing him transform from a man who cried easily to a young man full of vigor and vitality, I feel very relieved.
In Nanshi Military Region, Lu Xiaotang read the letter sent by Xu An and became extremely anxious.
There is still more than a month before Xiaoning's due date, and his father asked him to go back half a month in advance, which means that his father has confirmed that the baby will be born prematurely.
He took the letter and walked towards the chief's office.
Chen Guanghuai asked in disbelief, "Xiaotang, you want to take two months off?"
"Yes, Chief, my wife is about to give birth, and I will go back next month to take care of her."
Chen Guanghuai looked at him speechlessly and said, "Your wife is giving birth, not you to stay in confinement, why are you going back? You're going back for two months, what can a man like you do to help?"
Lu Xiaotang glanced at him and said, "Commander, my wife is an educated youth there. She doesn't have many relatives or friends there. She is pregnant with twins this time. If I don't go there, she will have no one to take care of her."
"Then you can let her come to the army. With your position, you can already bring your family with you. I will ask the logistics department to assign you a better courtyard when the time comes."
Lu Xiaotang said, "Thank you, Commander. Even if I can come with the army, it will be later. Now she is pregnant and it is not convenient for her to travel far. I hope you will allow me to go home."
"Okay, okay, I allow you to go back, but not for two months, one month at most."
"Commander, it takes me ten days to go back and forth. My wife hasn't given birth yet, and I have to rush back. She will be mad at me. You have to let me take care of her after she's given birth, right?"
The two bargained for a long time and finally gave him forty days of vacation.
Xu Ning and Xu An came to the hospital. The doctor who examined her was not there today. Sitting there was a woman in her thirties.
Xu An walked over and asked, "Hello, comrade. Is Doctor Li not here today?"
The woman glanced at him and asked, "He's off today, what's the matter?"
Xu Ning also came over and said with a smile, "Doctor, I'm here for a checkup."
The woman looked at her and asked, "Look at your belly. Are you going to give birth? Are you going to give birth in the hospital or at home?"
Xu Ning smiled and replied, "I'm only seven months pregnant, and I haven't given birth yet."
The woman asked in surprise, "Why is the belly so big? Sit down and I'll listen to it for you."
After that, he took out a stethoscope and placed it on Xu Ning's belly. After listening for a few seconds, he said, "It's okay. It's fine. Go back and have a good rest. You can come back when you give birth."
The brother and sister looked at each other and came out.
Xu An helped her out of the hospital and whispered, "Sister, why do I feel that woman is so unreliable?"
Xu Ning sighed. In recent years, many veteran Chinese medicine practitioners have been demoted. Many people in the hospital got in through connections or were good at scheming. Those who really have medical skills have kept a low profile in recent years.
She smiled and comforted Xu An, "It's okay, I'm fine anyway, we'll come back when Dr. Li is at work."
"Sister, I'll take you to the Guoyun Restaurant in front to rest for a while. You can eat something there. I'll go take the food to Grandpa Wang."
Xu Ning handed him some snack tickets and said, "Buy some more snacks and bring them over. Tell them I'm fine and will go see them after the baby is born."
Xu An ordered her a bowl of shredded pork noodles. Seeing that she was still staring at the meat buns next to her, he smiled and said, "Sister, I'll buy you another bun, but you can't eat more."
Xu Ning thought, Xiao An is really considerate and easier to talk to than Xiao Mo. That brat wouldn't let her have even a sip of soup, let alone a bun.
