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

Chapter 87 Congratulations, it's a happy pulse!
During this time, both Yang Manman and Gu Yunting were looking forward to it.

However, the two also knew that getting pregnant, even if they were healthy and had no problems, was not an easy thing; it also depended on fate.

So, although she was anxious and hopeful, she told herself and her husband to be patient.

And now...

"Mother, are you... are you telling the truth?"

"Eldest daughter-in-law, were you feeling nauseous and vomiting because you were eating roast duck and it was too greasy? Have you been feeling sleepy and wanting to sleep a lot lately?"

Yang Manman nodded blankly, "Yes."

"That's right, she must be pregnant. Let's go find Old Zhang to check her pulse and confirm."

Without a second thought, Yao Chunhua led Yang Manman straight to Old Zhang's clinic. Gu Yunting, as her husband, naturally came as well, also filled with anticipation.

"Old Zhang, come and check on my eldest daughter-in-law, is she pregnant?" Yao Chunhua asked hurriedly as soon as she entered the door.

They completely forgot to look around and see that there were other people in the infirmary.

And this other person was Wu Meili, who came to see Old Zhang because she had a stomachache from eating leftovers the night before.

Upon hearing Yao Chunhua's words, Wu Meili immediately laughed and said sarcastically, "Sister Yao, your eldest daughter-in-law has been married into the family for so many years, and she has never been able to get pregnant. How could this be possible this time?"

If it weren't for the fact that Old Man Gu was the village chief and she was afraid of being retaliated against, Wu Meili would have directly called Yang Manman a hen that couldn't lay eggs, since that's what she usually mocked.

Yao Chunhua glanced at Wu Meili with a cold look in her eyes, "Wu Meili, if you can't speak properly, then don't speak, or I'll tear your mouth apart."

“You…” Wu Meili wanted to retort, but she held back.

Fine, she won't argue back. She'll just see if Yang Manman is really pregnant.

As long as Yang Manman wasn't pregnant, she turned around and went out, revealing that Yao Chunhua had developed hysteria and was desperately wanting her daughter-in-law to get pregnant.

Over here, Old Zhang had already placed his hand on Yang Manman's wrist and was asking her about her recent situation.

He was somewhat aware of Yang Manman's physical condition, since Yao Chunhua had previously asked him to examine Yang Manman, but his medical skills were mediocre, and he couldn't diagnose the cause or treat her.

But he still knows how to take a pulse and diagnose whether someone is pregnant.

While Old Zhang was taking her pulse, the clinic fell silent. Both Yao Chunhua and her husband, as well as Yang Manman and her husband, were waiting anxiously.

Soon, Old Zhang looked up, smiled, and said, "Congratulations, it's a positive pregnancy test. You are indeed pregnant, and it's been more than a month."

"She's pregnant! That's wonderful!" Yao Chunhua exclaimed with joy.

Yang Manman looked at her husband, her eyes reddening, "Brother Yunting, did you hear that? I... I'm pregnant, we're having a baby."

Gu Yunting grasped her hand, his eyes also reddening with excitement. "Yes, I heard you, Manman, we finally have a child."

Finally, the emperor pays off.

"How could this be? Yang Manman isn't... she's not..." Wu Meili stared wide-eyed, muttering in disbelief.

Yao Chunhua and the other two were immersed in joy and didn't care about Wu Meili. However, before leaving, Yao Chunhua still glared at her sharply, making the latter shrink back involuntarily.

After asking Old Zhang about some precautions, they immediately went home to share their joy with their family and others.

"I need to write to Ningning, no, I need to call her and tell her the good news." After all, Yang Manman was able to get pregnant thanks to her daughter's treatment.
-
Heavy snow has blocked the mountains, and everything in the Northwest region is covered in silver.

The temperature has dropped even lower. Now, Sheng Zexi only needs to train for half a day and then come back, and this pattern has been going on for half a month.

In the past two weeks, the once bustling military region has become completely quiet, with residents staying home unless absolutely necessary.

The food available in the cafeteria has decreased.

Gu Jianing didn't let Sheng Zexi go to the cafeteria for meals anymore. Anyway, her family had already stored up a lot of food and various supplies, which was more than enough for the winter.

"I wonder if my parents received the letter and package I sent last time." Sitting on the warm kang, Gu Jianing leaned on Sheng Zexi's shoulder and looked at the snow outside, murmuring to herself.

"Judging by the time, it should be time," Sheng Zexi replied.

My maternal grandparents' side, however, is closer, so they arrived first.

Two days ago, Sheng Zexi received a phone call from his maternal grandparents, whose words were full of affection and love for Ningning.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Who could it be at this time?"

Sheng Zexi got up to open the door and came in a moment later. He said to Gu Jianing, "Your parents are calling. Do you want to go and answer it?"

If he's not going, then he will go, since it's cold.

"Is that my parents calling? Yes, I want to go." Because phone calls are expensive, it's rare for her parents to call, so even if it's cold, Gu Jianing is determined to go.

She hadn't heard her parents' and family's voices in so long; she missed them too.

“Okay, let’s go together.” Sheng Zexi immediately brought out a military overcoat, scarf, hat, boots, etc., and put them on her one by one, wrapping her up tightly. He also brought an umbrella to shield her from the snow.

Wrapped up tightly, Sheng Zexi held an umbrella and shielded the petite Gu Jianing, who was still quite small despite being wrapped up, with his arm around her side as the two headed towards the communications area.

Not long after I arrived, the phone rang again.

Gu Jianing quickly answered the call.

"Hello, is this Ningning?" Hearing her mother Yao Chunhua's familiar voice on the other end, Gu Jianing almost burst into tears.

Perhaps, only when we leave our parents and are far away do we realize how deep our longing for them is.

These past few days, Gu Jianing had been missing her mother, but she had been suppressing it. But now, hearing her mother's familiar voice, she could no longer hold back.

"Mother!" Gu Jianing called out, her voice trembling with sobs, "It's me, Ningning."

"Hey, honey, are you crying? Did Zexi make you suffer?" Even though they were on the other end of the phone, Yao Chunhua could hear the slight change in her daughter's tone.

The thought that her daughter might have been bullied by Sheng Zexi made her furious.

"No, no, Brother Xi didn't bully me. He's very good to me. I... I just missed you all." Afraid that her parents would misunderstand, Gu Jianing quickly explained.

After hearing this, Yao Chunhua breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that she hadn't been bullied. After all, she trusted Zexi's character; he was a good person.

When Yao Chunhua heard her daughter say that she missed them, her heart softened, her eyes reddened, and she almost cried.

She misses her daughter too, her only daughter.

However, Yao Chunhua ultimately held back.
