Wu Yao was also eating. "My family also grows some small melons and cantaloupes every year, but they are not as sweet as this one. I have to save some seeds and send them home for my mother to plant. Then we can eat such delicious melons and cantaloupes next year."

Han Xiaorui smiled and said, "Okay, pick some plump melon seeds, wash them, dry them, and wrap them in wood ash. They can be preserved for a long time."

Wu Yao was surprised, "Sister Xiaorui, do you also preserve melon seeds this way?"

"Yes, there were no vacuum packaging or plastic bags before. Sometimes the fruits would get damp when placed in the jar, so we used wood ash to absorb moisture." Han Xiaorui smiled, "If there is vacant land in the local area, we can grow fruits and sell them to increase our income."

Wu Yao's eyes lit up, "Yeah, why didn't I think of it?"

At this time, Wu Jiao washed her hands and took a piece of melon to eat. "Your idea is good, but if one family in a village grows melons, there is not enough to steal. We send money to mom every month, which is enough for her to spend. Don't cause her so much trouble."

Wu Yao thought about it and said, "That's true. We can't let mom get too tired. We all left, but mom was reluctant to leave her hometown. Especially after meeting my eldest brother, mom was even more reluctant to leave dad. Sometimes when she went to work in the fields, she would pass by my father's grave and say a few words to him."

Wu Jiao smiled, "Now the main reason is that my brother is not yet grown up and has not yet mastered martial arts, so my mother doesn't want to come out. But don't worry, have you forgotten our aunt?"

"Our aunt is divorced and our mother is a widow. The two sisters will definitely live together in the future. Don't worry about it now. Relax."

Han Xiaorui nodded with a smile, "Yes, when I have more money in the future, it will be convenient for me to go back and pay respects to the deceased. Distance is not a problem."

"Yes, yes!" Wu Jiao smiled. She had already saved a lot of money in the passbook, and things would get better and better in the future.

In the afternoon, Pingping and Anan finished school. Han Xiaorui took the children and got into the car driven by Xu's driver and went back to the city.

Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu are old, and as a junior, Han Xiaorui would bring her children over to accompany the elderly whenever she is free.

After get off work, Ye Feng doesn’t have to run to Jinshan Bay, he can go directly back to Xu’s house.

After not seeing each other for only two weeks, Han Xiaorui discovered that Xu Yingying had become much rounder. "Aunt, you... have gained a lot of weight. Have you eaten less at home?"

Xu Yingying touched her face and then her waist. "I've gained weight. My mom always tells me to eat more to replenish my body."

Han Xiaorui looked at Xu Yingying's belly and said, "You are only two months pregnant. The fetus is probably the size of a date. Why would it need so much nutrition?"

Xu Yingying was stunned, "Isn't it good to replenish the body?"

"It's good to nourish your body, but don't overdo it." Han Xiaorui pinched the little flesh on Xu Yingying's belly. "The fetus is very small, and all the flesh is growing on you. It will be difficult to lose weight in the future."

"Besides, you're taking so many supplements now. If you keep taking them, you'll get fat, and the fetus will get fat too. By then, the fetus will be too big to deliver. I guess I'll have to have a cesarean section, and there'll be a long cut on your stomach, leaving a long scar."

Xu Yingying blinked, looked at Han Xiaorui, then looked at her waist, "Xiaorui, how much weight have you gained during your pregnancy?"

Han Xiaorui replied: "I gained ten kilograms, but I only have two fetuses in my belly, and they are now four and a half months old, so I didn't actually gain much weight."

Xu Yingying didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "It's my first pregnancy, I have no experience."

Han Xiaorui smiled and said, "After taking the supplements, you should eat less. In fact, with the food at the Xu family, it's enough to eat normally. Don't take too many supplements."

Xu Yingying nodded, "Okay, I understand. I'm going to the prenatal checkup tomorrow, are you going?"

"That's great." Han Xiaorui replied.

Xu Yingying explained, "I'll take you there. There's a hospital that's specially prepared for overseas Chinese. They can check the gender. Xiaorui, don't think too much. We don't favor boys over girls. We just want to check if it's a boy or a girl, and then prepare a baby room and baby supplies."

Han Xiaorui thought for a moment and said, "Okay, otherwise the old man will be thinking about it all day long, and it's hard to ask too much."

When Mrs. Xu heard that Han Xiaorui was willing to investigate, she was also very happy.

The next day, I insisted on going with him.

Pingping and Anan are playing in the garden at home.

Old Madam Xu has a white dog that loves to play frisbee, which is just right for Pingping and Anan to play with.

Arrived at the hospital.

The hospital here is different from the simple public hospitals and is beautifully decorated everywhere.

There is also a lounge where the smell of disinfectant is not strong but rather a bit fragrant.

After an ultrasound examination, the doctor carefully checked the child's hands, feet and body and found everything was normal.

Madam Xu asked again, "Shall we go back and prepare clothes for the little girl and the little brother?"

The doctor was startled, then smiled and said, "Then you have to be more careful and prepare everything!"

Old Madam Xu understood instantly that these were twins, a boy and a girl!

The old lady smiled brightly, "Okay, thank you for your help. I am glad to do that. Thank you, doctor."

"You're welcome. Both the pregnant woman and the fetus are healthy. Just keep going like this," the doctor said.

Han Xiaorui nodded, "I understand, thank you."

I originally thought that like Pingping and Anan, it would be either two girls or two sons, but I didn’t expect that this time it would be twins, a boy and a girl.

When Xu Yingying arrived, the doctor examined her and said, "The fetus is in good condition, but you should eat less. You are an older mother, and if you eat too much and get fat, it will be difficult for you to have a baby."

Xu Yingying thought of Han Xiaorui's words, which were the same as what the doctor said, and nodded repeatedly, "I didn't have experience before, but now I know, I will definitely follow the doctor's advice."

When she came back, Xu Yingying saw that Han Xiaorui was very calm, and asked excitedly: "Xiaorui, you are pregnant with twins, aren't you happy?"

Han Xiaorui shook her head and laughed, "As long as the child is healthy, I'm happy. Boy or girl, isn't it mine and Ye Feng's child?"

"Oh my god, twins, a boy and a girl. I'm so excited just thinking about it. Look at mom, she can't stop smiling." Xu Yingying smiled, "Go back and tell dad, he will be very happy too."

Madam Xu sighed, "We old people love to see children. When we see children, our aging becomes less scary!"

"What I fear most is that we will grow older day by day, and there will be no children growing up, and the Xu family will not be able to continue. Suddenly, I feel that making so much money is not very meaningful."

This is the traditional Chinese way of thinking.

With offspring, there is hope.

Rich people, or some intellectuals, hope that their wealth and knowledge will be passed on.

Ordinary people also want to have many children. Among several children, there is always one smart and clever one who can support the family.

However, now that the process of industrialization is accelerating, the fragmentation brought about by industrial civilization has broken through the shackles of agricultural civilization and is developing towards a more diverse society.

As they walked and talked, they did not notice that in the corner, a man in a blue cleaning uniform, a hat and a mask was looking at their backs with vicious eyes.
