Qiao Lanshu opened the door to the small house and asked Yang Wenyan with a smile, "Factory Director, what brings you here? Do you have any work-related instructions?"

When Yang Wenyan saw Qiao Lanshu, he smiled, rubbed his hands together, and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Little Qiao, well, it's like this."

Yang Wenyan was getting impatient, so he spoke more directly, asking, "I heard from Yuanzheng that you're pregnant?"

When Xiao Qiao heard Yang Wenyan ask this question, she was stunned. She saw Qin Yuanzheng walking towards her from a distance and knew that Qin Yuanzheng hadn't left but had gone to the factory director's office.

Qiao Lanshu nodded somewhat embarrassedly and said, "Yes, I just went to the hospital today. The doctor said I'm two months pregnant."

A look of surprise immediately appeared on Yang Wenyan's face.

I was pleasantly surprised, but also a little excited.

In the past, Qin Yuanzheng's marriage was the biggest worry for the Qin family.

After Qin Yuanzheng finally married Qiao Lanshu, Qin's parents were overjoyed. If they hadn't thought they couldn't leave for a while, they probably would have come to see their daughter-in-law.

However, due to heavy snow and the suspension of train services, Yang Wenyan wrote a letter to Qin's parents, advising them not to come, and suggesting that Qin Yuanzheng bring Qiao Lanshu home to visit relatives during the Spring Festival.

Now that Qiao Lanshu is pregnant, Qin Yuanzheng probably won't be able to go back to visit his family this year.

Yang Wenyan: "This is a good thing!"

Yang Wenyan clenched his fist excitedly and repeated several times, "Great news! This is fantastic news!"

After his initial excitement, Yang Wenyan felt a pang of regret.

Qin Yuanzheng, who was diagnosed with infertility, already has a child.

Despite not being diagnosed, he has never had children.

So, which of them is actually infertile?

Qin Yuanzheng arrived at this time as well.

He stood at the doorway, looking at Qiao Lanshu with Yang Wenyan.

Qiao Lanshu blushed as they stared at her.

Qin Yuanzheng knew that his wife was just embarrassed.

So Qin Yuanzheng pulled Yang Wenyan away, and whispered, "Cousin, let's not talk about this yet. The fewer people who know, the better."

Yang Wenyan nodded excitedly: "Yes, yes, yes, saying this kind of thing out loud will only affect Xiao Qiao's rest. After all, you have a good reputation, right? We don't want people to gossip about it."

Qin Yuanzheng: "..."

Yang Wenyan thought for a moment and then said, "Pregnant women should eat more nutritious food. Tomorrow I will ask the logistics department to apply for an egg for Comrade Xiao Qiao every day to help her recover."

These days, food is so precious.

People don't eat meat except during the Lunar New Year, and eggs are also very rare, usually reserved for children and pregnant women.

Even the elderly mostly don't have eggs to eat.

Qiao Lanshu is now pregnant and can eat one egg every day. She can also get an extra pound of wheat flour in her monthly food allowance.

Of course, she could also choose not to use that pound of white flour and exchange it for five pounds of mixed grains, or red flour or something similar.

In short, because of the pregnancy, the food subsidy is higher than usual.

Qin Yuanzheng didn't know either, so he asked, "What should pregnant women generally pay attention to? What can they eat and what can't they eat? What do I need to do?"

Yang Wenyan: "..."

Yang Wenyan glanced at him and said irritably, "You're asking me? I don't have any children, how would I know? You might as well ask your good neighbor, that officer surnamed Zhao, he'll definitely know more than we do."

Qin Yuanzheng nodded seriously: "Yes, I almost forgot about him. I'll go find him right now."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Yang Wenyan quickly reminded him, "By the way, Yuanzheng, don't tell your parents about this yet."

Qin Yuanzheng's parents only had him as their son.

They've been worried sick about Qin Yuanzheng's marriage for years.

The elderly couple had finally accepted the fact that Qin Yuanzheng was infertile.

We can't let them get their hopes up for nothing.

Yang Wenyan walked up to Qin Yuanzheng and lowered his voice to say, "Let's keep this matter quiet for now. Wait until Xiao Qiao is more stable, around six or seven months, or maybe eight months, when she's close to giving birth. Then send them a telegram. Do you understand what I mean?"

In those days, many girls had difficulty getting pregnant because of malnutrition or frostbite from the cold winter.

Even if you get pregnant, the first pregnancy is not guaranteed to be successful.

Miscarriage is actually quite common.

As the factory director, Yang Wenyan knew about all the female workers in the food factory.

It's good news that Qiao Lanshu is pregnant, but I'm worried that the pregnancy might not be stable and something unexpected might happen...

Yang Wenyan didn't go into too much detail, but Qin Yuanzheng understood what he meant.

He nodded, his expression turning serious, and said, "I understand, cousin. I've only told you about this; I haven't told anyone else, so no one else knows."

Yang Wenyan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, that's good, then I'm relieved. Okay, leave Xiao Qiao to me. If there's nothing else, you can go to work. It seems your cousin's family raises a few hens. I'll ask them if they have any free-range eggs and buy some for you. When she's three or four months old, I'll buy another hen from them so you can make some nourishing soup for Xiao Qiao."

There weren't many hens. Deng Xiaozhen's family raised four or five hens, all for laying eggs; they couldn't bear to kill them for meat.

It's not easy to find anywhere else.

Yang Wenyan pondered and decided to buy two from them.

One is for nourishing the body during pregnancy, and the other is for consumption during postpartum confinement.

Hearing this, Qin Yuanzheng nodded and said, "Thank you, cousin. I'll pay for it. Could you also ask around and see where I can buy a hen? Xiao Qiao likes to drink soup too."

Yang Wenyan nodded: "Okay, I understand. You can go to work now, don't worry."

Qin Yuanzheng nodded; this time, he was really leaving.

Their troops can find ranches to buy mutton.

He pondered where to buy meat, eggs, goat milk, and fruit to nourish Comrade Xiao Qiao's body.

He arrived at the entrance of the mine with a heavy heart. Just as he got out of the car, a group of soldiers suddenly appeared.

startled him.

He frowned as he looked at the dozen or so comrades surrounding him and asked in a deep voice, "What are you doing? What happened?"

Lin Yucheng leaned closer and asked loudly, "Reporting, Commander, we heard your wife is pregnant! We came especially to celebrate for you!"

Then, with a "bang," a small firework made by the military exploded above Qin Yuanzheng's head.

Qin Yuanzheng: "..."
