Chapter 1101: Chapter 1100: Are They Twins 3

Living at Wanglou Brigade, He Qingyin felt much more comfortable than in Shanghai.

Though daily necessities weren’t as abundant, He Hongjun would send some every month, and here she didn’t have to worry about the endless criticism and self-criticism, nor about He Hongjun getting himself into trouble to protect her.

The ration provided by Wanglou Brigade was ample; the elderly sent down were able to receive a portion of the ration immediately until the end-of-year distribution. Officially it was said to be half the amount of the locals, but in reality, nothing was lacking. With the additional support from Father Lu and Feng Qingxue, He Qingyin hadn’t used any of the Grain Tickets sent by He Hongjun.

No need to!

Feng Qingxue didn’t stand on ceremony with He Qingyin either, taking them and pocketing them, "Then thank you, senior sister. Tomorrow I’ll go visit Doctor Wu in the city and bring back some tasty treats for you."

"Mommy, I want canned fruit!" Xibao raised his hand.

Fubao was a step slower and looked displeased at her brother, coquettishly saying, "Mommy, I want to go with you to buy tasty treats."

Patting the children’s heads, Feng Qingxue spoke gently, "It’s too hot outside, there’s so much to do at home, and you two are so little. If you get tired from walking, mommy can’t carry you, so is it okay to wait at home for mommy?"

Xibao and Fubao pouted but still agreed.

Feng Qingxue wanted to bring back some delicious food to replenish her family, which is why she was reluctant to take the children with her. The next day, just after four o’clock while they were still asleep, she left a message with Guan Cheng and Feng Qingyun and headed out.

Although there was the bicycle Chen Xueniang had given, she didn’t ride it, worried about jostling her belly.

She prepared some items in her carrying basket and managed to arrive at Wu Zheng’s residence before his work hours, which was fortuitous. The door was opened by Huzi again, who had grown into a tall young man.

Huzi recognized Feng Qingxue immediately and said warmly, "Are you here to see Doctor Wu? He’s not working today."

"Yes, I came to see Doctor Wu," Feng Qingxue patted her forehead, her mind really wasn’t what it used to be. She had chosen today to visit Wu Zheng because it was the weekend, but once she left the house she was still thinking about catching him before work.

Wu Zheng and his wife, hearing the noise, came out and were happy to see Feng Qingxue.

"You’re usually so busy, how come you have time to come by?" Wu Zheng pretended to frown, but actually, he was quite happy. Feng Qingxue often visited him when she was with the military, and when she was not, there wasn’t a year without several letters being exchanged. She also sent many specialties from the border area of Tibet, something not even their own children had done.

Feng Qingxue helped him into the house, smiling, "How dare I claim to be busy in front of you, sir? I wouldn’t come to the Three Treasures Hall without a reason, I’m here for you to take my pulse."

Once inside, Wu Zheng placed his fingers on her pulse and made a curious sound.

"Did you find something?"

Wu Zheng glanced at her, "You walked such a long distance while pregnant, aren’t you tired?"

"Pregnant for over two months," Feng Qingxue reminded him.

Wu Zheng was startled, looked down at her belly, but since she was wearing very loose cotton and linen clothing, the old man couldn’t see anything. Luckily, Feng Qingxue continued, "It seems more like three or four months, but I can’t quite figure it out."

"Being over two months pregnant but having the appearance of a four-month pregnancy, what else is there to ask? It’s definitely more than one baby," Wu Zheng asserted without hesitation. "Although my medical skills are decent, at this early stage of your pregnancy, I can diagnose that you are pregnant but can’t determine if it’s twins; we’ll have to wait until three or four months to listen to the fetal heartbeat to be sure."
