Marrying a childless superior, she became pregnant and lived a carefree life in the 1970s.

Chapter 143 Good News and Warning

"It's nothing. I just saw someone planning to harm my family, and I thought I could warn them by making a phone call later," Gu Jianing said simply.

"Okay." Because it involved Gu Jianing's secret, Sheng Zexi didn't ask any further questions.

After breakfast, the couple went to the communications office and quickly dialed the Huaihua Village Committee.
-
In Huaihua Village, Yang Manman, heavily pregnant, is seeing her husband Gu Yunting off to work.

Yang Manman is now five months pregnant.

"You can go in now, I'm going to work." Gu Yunting waved his hand, then rode his bicycle towards the county town.

Only after her husband's figure disappeared from sight did Yang Manman turn around and go back into the house. Unexpectedly, at this moment, she saw her father-in-law, Old Man Gu, rushing over.

"Eldest son, tell your mother and the rest of the family that Ningning is calling. Come to the village committee to answer the phone."

My sister-in-law called!
Yang Manman's face lit up with joy. "Okay, I'll go and inform them right now."

Not long after, the Gu family members, except for Gu Yunting who had already gone to work, Yao Chunhua who was taking care of household chores at home, Su Miao who was taking care of the child, and Gu Yunnan and Gu Yunzhou who had already started working, all arrived at the village committee.

Huaihua Village only has this one telephone, and every time Gu Jianing calls, everyone in the Gu family who is home will come to answer.

The first person to answer the phone was, of course, Yao Chunhua, the head of the household.

As soon as Yao Chunhua answered her daughter's call, her eyes reddened. Her daughter had been in the Northwest Military Region for almost half a year, and she missed her terribly.

As soon as he received the call, he immediately asked Gu Jianing with concern whether she was eating and dressing warmly, how she was doing in the Northwest Military Region, whether she had been bullied, and whether Sheng Zexi was treating her well...

Every word and sentence reflects a mother's concern for her daughter who has married far away.

"Mom, don't worry, I'm fine, and Brother Xi is very good to me too."

“I’m fine, really. I have enough to eat and wear. You, Dad, and your brothers and sisters-in-law also need to take good care of yourselves.”

"Yes, yes, we are all fine."

"Mom, I'm calling this time because I have good news to tell you."

"What good news?"

"Mom, I'm pregnant. I'm three months along. It's twins. You and Dad are going to be grandparents, and my brothers and sisters-in-law are going to be uncles and aunts."

"What! You're pregnant, and with twins!" Shocked Yao Chunhua couldn't stop herself from exclaiming, her voice rising so loudly that everyone else in the Gu family nearby could hear her.

After looking at each other in disbelief, they were overjoyed.

Ningning/Little Sister is pregnant, and with twins! That's wonderful!
Yao Chunhua burst into tears of joy, exclaiming, "It's so good to be pregnant, so good to be pregnant!"

Her voice was slightly choked with emotion. Back then, Yao Chunhua was nine-tenths satisfied with letting Gu Jianing marry Sheng Zexi. The only thing she was dissatisfied with was Sheng Zexi's infertility.

When he proposed to her, Sheng Zexi said that...

Later, Ningning said she had a way to cure Sheng Zexi's illness, and Yao Chunhua saw that Sheng Zexi was really good, so she finally agreed to let her daughter marry him.

After the two got married, Yao Chunhua's greatest hope was that Ningning could quickly cure Sheng Zexi's illness and conceive a child.

Even if Yao Chunhua was very open-minded, she still knew that in this era, if her daughter married Sheng Zexi, having a child, whether a boy or a girl, would be more secure than having no child. Of course, it would be even better if it was a boy, or if they could have two children.

She had been hoping for it, but dared not ask. Unexpectedly, Ningning suddenly told her the good news: the baby was already three months old.

Yao Chunhua didn't blame Gu Jianing for not telling her until three months into her pregnancy, because she knew that a woman's pregnancy wasn't very stable in the first three months, so she would definitely wait until it was stable before telling others.

Twins are great, having two kids all at once, but...

“Ningning, it must be very hard for you to be pregnant with twins.” As a mother herself, she knew how difficult pregnancy was, especially since Ningning was carrying twins and was a delicate child.

“Ningning, how about I go to the Northwest Military Region to take care of you?” Yao Chunhua asked.

The more I think about it, the more it makes sense.

Anyway, Ningning's mother-in-law has passed away, so we can't let Sheng Zexi's maternal grandmother take care of her, can we? The old lady is getting old.

It's more appropriate for her, as the mother, to take care of her.

"Mom, no need for now. I'm doing fine right now and don't need any special care. If you want to come, wait until I'm close to giving birth. By then, you'll probably have finished helping my sister-in-law with her postpartum care."

Only after Gu Jianing said that did Yao Chunhua realize what was going on.

Yes, my eldest daughter-in-law is pregnant. When she gives birth, I, as her mother-in-law, will have to take care of her during her postpartum period.

Yao Chunhua calculated the time. Her eldest daughter-in-law is currently 5 months pregnant, and there are still 5 months until she gives birth. Ningning is currently 3 months pregnant, and she will be about 8 months pregnant by then. After she finishes taking care of Manman during her postpartum period, Ningning will be 9 months pregnant. Twins usually give birth earlier, so Ningning will be about to give birth by then. It would be fine to go there then, as she can take care of Ningning during her postpartum period. It's just that the time is a bit tight.

But that's all we can do.

Although Yao Chunhua was eager to go and take care of her daughter as soon as possible, she couldn't forget her eldest daughter-in-law, Manman, who was also carrying on the Gu family line.

"Okay, that's settled then."

"By the way, did you call Xiaoxi's maternal grandparents to share the good news?" Yao Chunhua asked again.

"We'll fight in a bit."

"Row."

Afterwards, Old Man Gu and other members of the Gu family came up to exchange a few pleasantries. Gu Jianing also mentioned that she had become a doctor at the military hospital, and her family members were very happy for her. Then, Gu Jianing did not forget another important matter.

Finally, Gu Yunzhou answered the phone. She asked, "Third brother, do you know anything about Wen Zhuqing and Bao Shanyan?"

Upon hearing his younger sister's words, Gu Yunzhou's expression immediately turned somewhat strange.

"Little sister, why are you asking about this? You're already married to your brother-in-law and pregnant. You wouldn't still be thinking about that pretty boy Wen Zhuqing, would you? Is your brother-in-law not with you right now?"

Although the person on the other end of the phone was his beloved younger sister, Gu Yunzhou felt that there were some things that went against morality that he couldn't do.

Gu Jianing was both amused and exasperated. Looking at Sheng Zexi beside her, the name Wen Zhuqing seemed like a warning. Hearing it immediately triggered his nerves, making him look up at her with a sorrowful expression in his eyes.

Sheng Zexi naturally trusted Gu Jianing; he could feel Gu Jianing's growing love for him.

But Wen Zhuqing, who is Ningning's first love, seems to have heard that most people have a different feeling about their first love, that is to say, first love is special.

Why is Ningning mentioning Wen Zhuqing now? What is she trying to do?

Gu Jianing understood the meaning in Sheng Zexi's eyes. She gritted her teeth. If she weren't on the phone, she would have grabbed his shoulders and shaken him. "I mentioned both Wen Zhuqing and Bao Shanyan. Why do you only care about Wen Zhuqing and forget about Bao Shanyan?"
