In the space, Mao Qiqi’s eyes kept following Su Jin’s every move. Feeling Qiqi’s inquisitive gaze, Su Jin smiled and asked, "Qiqi, what’s the matter?"
"Um, Sister Xiao Jin, I think I can see the baby, but why are there two tiny dots?"
Mao Qiqi said with a puzzled supporting of her cheek.
She initially thought she was seeing things, but after looking for a long time, it seemed there indeed were two.
"Qiqi, are you sure?"
Lu Guanhai, having just passed by with a ring of cucumber vines he had trimmed off himself, asked in surprise.
"Sure, there are two,"
Li Xiuying also stopped the yellow little vest she was knitting. What did Qiqi mean by that?
Su Jin obviously knew what this meant. Recalling the two little dots she always dreamed about whenever she rested lately, she covered her mouth and slowly sat down.
She was carrying twins?!
Lu Hao, who was working outside the Lu Residence, saw his father running over, waving handfuls of cucumber vines.
"Xiao Hao! My daughter-in-law, Xiao Jin, she, she"
Before Lu Guanhai could finish, Lu Hao had turned into a gust of wind and rushed inside the Lu Residence.
"Oh, I wasn’t even done talking yet,"
"What happened to my sister?"
Lin Xiuyuan was also startled. Could it be that she had fallen?
"Tsk tsk tsk, you this boy, always thinking something negative. Your sister is very likely carrying twins! Hahaha"
Lu Guanhai laughed proudly. Was this the reward for all the good deeds their family had done over such a long period?
May the ancestor of the Lu Family bless us!
Lu Hao felt as if he were in a dream. Xiao Jin and his child, were there two?
"Tomorrow, just tomorrow, we can’t wait anymore. Xiao Jin and I will go to the hospital for a checkup to find out,"
Lin Tianhui said excitedly, holding her daughter’s hand. She was eager to take Xiao Jin for the checkup right now, but it was late at night outside the space, and the doctors at the hospital were not on duty.
"Good things come in pairs, good things come in pairs. Little Wu and Little Liu are also good siblings,"
Lin Yunguo said gleefully, watching Little Wu and Little Liu running circles around everyone. He had thought earlier that if Xiao Jin’s child were born, they might not have playmates indefinitely. Now, no need to worry about the lack of playmates anymore.
Watching her family get more and more excited around her, Su Jin said shyly, "I still want to go with mom tomorrow to check. The ultrasound is the most accurate."
The Base Hospital had an ultrasound machine. It had just never been used because there was never the opportunity or personnel to operate it. Early next morning, Lin Tianhui brought the family to the hospital and applied for the check-up with Xu Mingzhi.
The check-up results let Su Jin breathe a sigh of relief. The twins were alive, each had both a yolk sac and heartbeat, and their development was normal—even a week larger than she had calculated.
"That’s wonderful, great. Xiao Jin, getting two at once,"
Huang Yunxiang said, holding Su Jin’s hand. Pregnancy was hard for a woman, and it was great that Xiao Jin could resolve this troublesome matter in one go.
Lu Hao, wearing a smile, took Su Jin’s medical reports to find Liang Jiuhui.
"Claiming a reward? Weren’t last time’s task rewards already settled?"
Liang Jiuhui looked at Lu Hao, who was clearly in a great mood, and thought he might have remembered wrongly.
"A new reward, although it’s only 10,000 crystal cores"
Lu Hao handed the certification over to Liang Jiuhui.
Liang Jiuhui looked at the document Lu Hao handed him in surprise. Su Jin was pregnant?!
Liang Jiuhui was also aware of the current situation. He had once worried that humanity might slowly come to an end without offspring, but surprisingly, Lu Hao and Su Jin had quickly brought him hope.
"I understand. Tell Su Jin to rest at the base. I’ll have them prepare everything and send it over later, including a big red envelope from me, which you must accept."
Liang Jiuhui laughed heartily. Humanity still has hope!
Lu Hao thought about the family’s plans for after. Su Jin probably wouldn’t be willing to just rest at the base.
Afterward, they were going to the bases in City A and City D to sell supplies. It wasn’t entirely because they wanted to gather crystal cores, but because they were worried about the depletion of resources for the survivors in those places.
However, he had no intention of telling Liang Jiuhui about these plans just yet. People unaware of the situation would probably think it inappropriate to take a pregnant woman out. If it weren’t for the Wood Spirit Space, they would never consider taking Su Jin on an adventure.
When Guo Yang and the others learned that Su Jin and Lu Hao were planning to go out for a while, they were all shocked.
"Staying idle at home every day also makes me uncomfortable. Don’t worry, I will only use my Special Ability and Space, and I won’t get out of the car to expose myself to danger," Su Jin reassured them first.
"Su Jin, you’re carrying twins. We really aren’t comfortable with you going out again," Liao Yifan said worriedly. Why push yourselves so hard?
"We’ll be back soon. It’s nice to get out occasionally," even Lin Tianhui began to say, planning to go out with the family this time. She had always heard about the situation outside from others and hadn’t been out in months. Moreover, given Su Jin’s special circumstances, she, as a mother, wanted to stay with her all the time.
"Aunt Lin, how can even you be so relaxed about this?"
Liao Yifan had thought that Lin Tianhui would definitely side with him, but unexpectedly...
Ah, this family truly doesn’t play by common rules.
Mao Qiqi watched Lian Jiyue who had just returned from outside. She realized that in the past few days, Xiao Yue had often been going out alone. Previously, her attention had been drawn away by Lin Xiuyuan and Su Jin’s matters. Only now did she notice that Lian Jiyue seemed a bit different from before.
However, thinking about the upcoming period where she and Lian Jiyue would likely be staying at the base, she didn’t immediately go to ask.
-------------------------------------
Lian Zongren was also quite happy these days.
He never expected Lian Jiyue to take the initiative to come to his place, and he also seemed to have completely recovered.
"Good to have you back, good to have you back,"
Lian Zongren didn’t ask too much, just patting his son’s shoulder deeply moved.
He had only hoped to stay in the same base with his two sons before, but now he had gained an unexpected reward.
Lu Hao and Su Jin of course knew about Lian Jiyue’s visit to Lian Zongren. Su Jin even took out some cigarettes and liquor from the Space to ensure he didn’t go to see his family empty-handed.
You have to remember, Lian Jiyue had just brought back over 700,000 crystal cores. They couldn’t be too stingy in Heart Talk Team.
So, Lian Zongren looked at the famous cigarettes and liquor Lian Jiyue brought and gradually felt relieved. It seems the group of friends Yueer has made are truly sincere. Such expensive liquor was hard to buy even before the apocalypse, let alone now.
