Chapter 72: Marrying her is like a smoke rising from the ancestral grave
The second prenatal check-up is coming soon, and Xu Muchuan asked for leave from the factory yesterday. He is now the deputy factory director, so he still has to contact the finance department in advance to arrange the day of the leave, so as to treat other workers equally and not give them any special treatment.

This was the first B-ultrasound and she was able to get an accurate picture of the situation. Shen Qingli felt a cool touch and her body trembled unconsciously, perhaps because she was so nervous.

Xu Muchuan noticed Shen Qingli's "small movements" and held her white and tender little hand tightly, his palms full of sweat.

The man was more nervous than she was.

Shen Qingli noticed this and felt more relaxed.

"Hmm?" The doctor frowned in confusion. Xu Muchuan was so frightened by the word "Hmm" that he was almost panicked. He did not dare to ask what was going on, for fear of affecting the doctor's examination.

Shen Qingli blinked, "Doctor?"

"It's okay, I'll take another look," the doctor consoled her, confirming once again that she was not mistaken, "You are pregnant with twins!"

Shen Qingli twitched the corners of her lips and looked up to see Xu Muchuan's reaction. Compared to his expressionless face when he found out she was pregnant, this time Xu Muchuan's breathing stagnated slightly and he muttered woodenly, "What?"

"Yes, they are twins." The doctor nodded, reached out and grabbed the tissue next to him and handed it to Shen Qingli, indicating that she could get up. "Who in your family has given birth to twins?"

Twins are very likely to inherit the trait.

Xu Muchuan was shocked, but he quickly took the tissue and wiped her belly clean, then carefully helped her sit up.

"I don't have any at home," Shen Qingli looked at the man with an inquiring look.

Xu Muchuan shook his head, "Neither does my family..." Pregnant with twins? Two daughters?

Realizing this, Xu Muchuan's heart began to beat wildly and he took a deep breath, "Qingli, did you hear that? The doctor said it's twins."

"There's nothing wrong with my ears. I heard it." Shen Qingli was amused by his reaction, and the doctor chuckled and said, "It seems that the expectant father is so happy that he has lost his mind!"

Xu Muchuan was still a little confused.

Looking at Shen Qingli again, she didn't seem to react much.

"I guess they might be twins," Shen Qingli curved the corners of her lips, "It seems my feeling is correct."

"Why didn't you tell me?" He was really not prepared at all.

Xu Muchuan swallowed and said, "My parents don't know yet. I will go back this afternoon to tell them the good news!"

"Okay~" Shen Qingli listened to the doctor's advice again, "Being pregnant with twins is definitely harder than being pregnant with one. I see that you are already showing your pregnancy at only about two months.

You will definitely be more tired in the second and third trimesters, but as long as you can get through it, you will have two babies. Pregnant mothers have the hardest time, so future fathers should remember to give pregnant mothers timely nutritional supplements. It is best to start drinking bone soup from now on to supplement calcium!"

Xu Muchuan took note of it carefully. After coming out of the hospital, his mind became clearer.

"Didn't you say you would go back?" Shen Qingli reminded him when she saw him standing there in a daze.

"Do you want to go back with me?" Xu Muchuan planned to go back alone. Shen Qingli was pregnant with twins, and he couldn't let her get tired.

"I haven't been back for a long time. I'm still young now, but I won't be able to go back in the future." Shen Qingli said.

Xu Muchuan nodded, "Okay, then we won't ride bicycles back today. I'll go borrow a tricycle."

The tricycle's cabin was covered with thick mats so Shen Qingli would be more comfortable sitting on it.

I rode as slowly as possible. Normally it would take me about an hour to get there, but today it took me two hours.

As soon as they arrived at the door of their house, they happened to meet their parents-in-law who were returning from the fields.

"Qingli is back!" Mother-in-law Zhao Lanxia happily walked towards her daughter-in-law, "If I had known you were coming back today, I would have made delicious food for you at home!"

"Mom, I have something happy to share today," Xu Muchuan couldn't help but say, "Qingli and I went for a prenatal checkup." "What's going on? The baby is fine, right?" Zhao Lanxia happily led Shen Qingli into the house, "What did the doctor say?"

"The doctor said everything is fine." Shen Qingli smiled, "The doctor also said I'm not pregnant with just one child,"

"What do you mean? It's not a baby?!" Father Xu was scared!
"Shut up your crow mouth! If it's not a child, what else could it be?" Zhao Lanxia glared at him unhappily and continued to ask, "Qingli, not one? What do you mean?"

"It means twins!"

Xu Muchuan took over.

"Ah!" Zhao Lanxia was so excited that she couldn't speak. She was thinking that their Xu family was a single-line family and this baby would most likely be a son, but she didn't expect it to be two!

Whether it’s two sons, two daughters, or even one boy and one girl, it’s all fine!
Zhao Lanxia was so excited that she started to cry, "Great! Great, our family married Qingli, the Xu family's ancestral graves are really filled with smoke!"

Having two kids is great!

It's just that Qingli will have a harder time.

"Well, Lao Xu, don't just stand there. We're having dumplings for lunch today. Let's go to the vegetable garden and cut some leeks."

Zhao Lanxia stood up hurriedly, "Qingli, you are pregnant with twins, so you need someone to take care of you. The work in the fields is almost done, I will go to the store to take care of you!"

Need close care!
"Okay, I'll go right away," Father Xu received the instructions and turned around and went to the vegetable garden outside. He really didn't expect that his daughter-in-law was pregnant with twins.

Father Xu raised his hand and punched Xu Muchuan on the shoulder, "Great!"

Xu Muchuan: “…”

"Mom, we'll move to the residential building in a few days," as it will be more spacious there than in the dance hall.

"Which floor?" Zhao Lanxia frowned.

"Third floor."

The room is in a great location, especially with plenty of light.

Shen Qingli likes places with plenty of light.

"We can't wait until after the baby is born to move." Zhao Lanxia expressed her concerns, "If we live in a residential building, there will be people everywhere. What if we accidentally bump into Qingli?"

Neither Shen Qingli nor Xu Muchuan thought about it in this way.

"If you feel that the dance hall is not spacious enough, we can just rent a house nearby. It will be better than living in a residential building now!"

Zhao Lanxia said, "Don't worry about the money. Your father and I still have some savings!"

"Mom, we have money." Shen Qingli doesn't want her mother-in-law.

"The money is yours. It's our old couple's wish. As long as you can live a good life, that's all!"

Zhao Lanxia couldn't help but sigh: "That's great, twins. They will look the same in the future. It's fun to think about it."

"Mom, it's possible they are fraternal twins."

"Twins are twins, how can they be different?" Zhao Lanxia didn't quite understand.

"Some twins look the same, and some twins look different. They are divided into fraternal twins and identical twins."

"Anything is fine." Zhao Lanxia raised her hand and patted Qingli's hand. "Just tell me what you want to eat in the future. I'll ask your father to raise a few more chickens at home. At least one chicken a day during the confinement period!"
