Qi Mengmeng was wondering why Qi Huilan came so quickly. When she got closer, she realized that it was Grandpa Jiang and Zhang Meiling.
"Aunt Ling, uncle?"
Zhang Meiling quickly stepped forward to support Qi Mengmeng, looking at her belly with surprise in her eyes: "Mengmeng, you only said that you are pregnant, but why is your belly so big?"
Qi Mengmeng: I seem to have forgotten to tell them about the twins.
Mr. Jiang and Qi Mengmeng had the same expression. He felt that Qi Mengmeng looked more bloated than any pregnant woman he had seen who was about to give birth.
Qi Mengmeng didn't say much, opened the door and let the two in. Lu Xiaochun didn't follow them in. She told Qi Mengmeng that she wanted to go back and tell the Shu family.
Today she just wanted to help Qi Mengmeng sweep the snow, but she didn't expect to have breakfast at Qi Mengmeng's house and then go to the factory to handle the work handover. Now it's lunch time, and if she doesn't go back, she's afraid that the Shu family will have opinions.
Qi Mengmeng handed her the lunch box in her hand: "You haven't eaten lunch yet, so I'll give you this lunch box."
Lu Xiaochun didn't answer, but ran away quickly. After running a distance, she turned back and said, "Sister Mengmeng, I'll come back in two days to help you pack your things."
Zhang Meiling looked at Lu Xiaochun's back and asked Qi Mengmeng, "Mengmeng, who is this girl?"
"This is my colleague's sister. She will be taking my place starting tomorrow."
She wanted to help carry the things, but Zhang Meiling quickly took them away: "You have such a big belly, we can just carry it ourselves."
They said so much, but they had so much stuff that it took two people two trips to get everything in.
After entering the house, Qi Mengmeng first poured hot water for the two elderly people and then put brown sugar in it.
"Aunt Ling, Uncle, when did you get here? Drink some hot water first."
Due to heavy snow, the train that Zhang Meiling and Grandpa Jiang were riding was delayed. They finally found a car at the train station to help them move their belongings over, but it only arrived about ten minutes later.
"The train is late, we just arrived." Zhang Meiling said happily.
After returning to the capital, she felt much better, without any pressure, and her diet and drinking habits were also normal. She now looked much better than when she was in the village.
Zhang Meiling took a sip of brown sugar water and then started rummaging for something.
"Mengmeng, this is the fabric I bought. It's very warm and perfect for a newborn baby."
"These are two small mattresses I made. I'm old now, and I can't make as good a front as I did when I was young. Please don't despise them."
"Your belly is getting bigger and you need nutrition. Here are the milk powder and malted milk I bought."
"This is the donkey-hide gelatin I asked someone to buy from another place. We women have to eat this."
"This is the skin cream I bought at the Friendship Store. It's just right for you now that the weather is cold."
"This is……"
Zhang Meiling opened the two boxes and two large bags she brought with her and took out all the food and daily necessities inside.
The things she brought included not only those for adults but also for children. They were exactly what she had prepared when her daughter was pregnant, only more and less.
"Auntie Ling, isn't this too much?"
Qi Mengmeng originally thought that they brought only clothes, but she didn't expect that they were things prepared for her, and there were so many and so complete.
"What's more? It's just that our physical strength is not good. Otherwise, we can bring more. But it doesn't matter. I brought a lot of money and tickets. We can buy whatever we need when the time comes."
Zhang Meiling winked at Qi Mengmeng, then patted her bag.
Qi Mengmeng: ...That’s not necessary.
Mr. Jiang kept staring at Qi Mengmeng and asked doubtfully, "Mengmeng, have you gained some weight?"
Before Qi Mengmeng could say anything, Zhang Meiling became unhappy, "What are you talking about? Which woman doesn't gain weight when she's pregnant? How can the baby grow if she doesn't gain weight?"
What Mr. Jiang wanted to say was rejected, so he could only shut up.
Qi Mengmeng quickly said, "Aunt Ling, Uncle, there is something I haven't had time to tell you. I am pregnant with twins."
When Qi Mengmeng entered the house just now, she took off her big cotton jacket. She was wearing a small jacket inside, which made her belly more obvious.
Just now, Zhang Meiling was busy getting things out and didn't pay attention. When Qi Mengmeng stood up, she found that Qi Mengmeng's belly was really big, even bigger than her biological daughter's when she was about to give birth.
"They are really twins. The doctor has confirmed it." Zhang Meiling asked in disbelief. She had never seen twins before.
"They are twins." Qi Mengmeng nodded with a smile.
"Oh," Zhang Meiling exclaimed, "All the things I prepared are for one child. This is definitely not enough. I have to buy some cloth tomorrow to make a few more clothes. But I don't know if cotton is easy to buy here."
Zhang Meiling started to worry when she talked about this.
"Auntie Ling, my mother prepared this for me, and I also prepared a lot of things myself. These are enough, enough."
It's freezing cold outside now, and Qi Mengmeng doesn't dare let Zhang Meiling and the others go out to buy things. If they fall, it will be no joke.
"Let's go buy some milk powder and malted milk for Mengmeng tomorrow. I think Mengmeng needs some nourishment. Look at her, except for her big belly, her face has become thinner."
Mr. Jiang was also very excited when he heard that Qi Mengmeng was pregnant with twins.
Qi Mengmeng: Who said I was fat just now?
"Aunt Ling, Uncle, how long do you plan to stay this time?"
Qi Mengmeng quickly changed the subject to prevent the two from going shopping and never looking back.
"He can only stay for a week." Zhang Meiling was very unhappy when she talked about this, and glared at Mr. Jiang: "He still has to go back to edit a book. What book do you think is so important? All..."
"Cough cough..." Old Master Jiang coughed a few times. There are some things that he'd better not say.
Zhang Meiling also knew that there were some things she couldn't say, so she sighed.
"Let's not talk about this, Mengmeng, have you eaten?"
Qi Mengmeng immediately shook her head. She had felt hungry just now.
"Auntie Ling, can we have some noodles for lunch? Beat two eggs in it and cut some of the braised meat into it. Do you think it's okay?"
It was really because her health was not good enough that she was already tired after walking to the factory. Otherwise, she would have to take the two elderly people to a state-owned restaurant for a meal.
"What's wrong with eating instant noodles?" Zhang Meiling said quickly, "Your belly is big, I'll make you whatever you want to eat."
Before Zhang Meiling came, she just wanted to take care of Qi Mengmeng for a few days.
They have been in the village for more than a year, and Qi Mengmeng has been the one taking care of them most of the time. Now that Qi Mengmeng is pregnant, it is only appropriate for her as an aunt to come over and take care of them for a few days.
Qi Mengmeng and Zhang Meiling went to the kitchen together. Qi Mengmeng took out noodles, smoked bacon, sausages, braised meat, and a pot of eggs from the cupboard.
Zhang Meiling knew that Qi Mengmeng came from a wealthy family, but she was still a little surprised to see her take out so many things.
