"Okay." Zhou He had some suspicions in her heart, but without any check-up, she was still not quite sure.
"Sis-in-law, I’ve learned how to check the pulse from my master, let me try." Xu Nian’an looked at Zhou He.
Zhou He smiled and said, "It’s fine, it doesn’t matter if you get the pulse wrong."
Xu Nian’an seriously checked the pulse, and everyone refrained from indulging in the delicious food, wanting to savor the results. Inside the room, besides the sound of Zhuangzhuang eating fish soup mixed with rice, it was exceedingly quiet.
After a long while, Xu Nian’an said, "Big brother, sis-in-law, congratulations! You’re going to have another niece or nephew."
Xu Nian’an’s words immediately brought joy to everyone.
Ji Ying was the first to express herself, saying, "Xiaohe, you don’t have to worry about Zhuangzhuang not being taken care of. I’ll take him."
The Chili Sauce Factory is already very well managed now, and most of the work doesn’t need her oversight anymore. She said confidently, "There’s no need to worry about money either. The family can absolutely manage raising another child."
"Xiaohe, I’m not pressuring you to have the baby right now. If you think it’s too soon, you can wait a few more years." Ji Ying added.
Xu Nianhua couldn’t help but think that next year might be the start of family planning policies!
With sis-in-law pregnant now, just in time to have the baby before family planning kicks in. Orıginal content can be found at 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹~𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮~𝚗𝚎𝚝
"Mom, I..." Zhou He exchanged a glance with Xu Nianji and said, "Mom, we’ll be troubling you more in the future."
Ji Ying’s smile deepened as she said, "We’re one family. Don’t talk about trouble. It’s you who’s going to have a tough pregnancy. Tomorrow, I’ll take Zhuangzhuang."
"Thank you, Mom." Zhou He was very pleased. She had previously guessed this and worried about Zhuangzhuang being too young and her mother-in-law being busy. If she really got pregnant, she might not be able to handle it by herself. Unexpectedly, her mother-in-law took care of all her concerns.
Under such circumstances, Zhou He naturally wanted to have this baby.
"Thank you, Mom!" Xu Nianji was also very much looking forward to the upcoming child. Zhuangzhuang was very cute, and if they could have another adorable daughter, he would be very satisfied. Of course, he would also love a son since they are all his children.
"Good, good." Ji Ying was in a good mood, consistently encouraging Zhou He to eat more dishes, with her gaze unintentionally falling on Zhou He’s still flat belly.
The dining table was even livelier than before, and Xu Nianji took the opportunity to express his idea of buying a truck. Over the past period, he had looked at many cars, both new and used, and inquired about prices. He said, "Dad, Mom, I’ve already asked around about the car prices. Here’s my thought: right now, I’m driving for the Chili Sauce Factory, delivering goods based on volume and earning. Anyone else could drive and deliver too. But if I buy the truck myself, it would be different."
The Chili Sauce Factory is jointly owned with Pei Yicheng. Delivering goods is essentially the factory’s duty, while he receives a driver’s salary, plus additional pay for the amount of goods delivered and carried.
But, if it’s their own truck, the situation changes. He can haul goods himself, establishing a routine route of bringing goods from the county to South City and back, which means even if he runs two round trips a day, it’s profitable.
"I’ve already figured it all out. We can bring fruits from South City to the county. When I drive to South City, I can take goods from the county to South City." Xu Nianji had planned out what they would do with the truck after buying it and added, "Although buying a truck is expensive, with a bit of diligence and running a few extra trips, we’ll definitely make money."
