After emptying her family's fortune, the pampered young lady went to join the army while heavil

Chapter 15: She's pregnant with twins!
Nian Yunci tucked herself into Wang Xueqin's arms.

Wang Xueqin waved her hands repeatedly, saying no, she couldn't accept something so valuable.

"Sister, I didn't refuse when you delivered rice to our house yesterday, but you refused when we needed your help today. Don't you want to help us?"

Nian Yunci said this on purpose.

Wang Xueqin was so provoked that he didn't know what to say.

He could only look awkwardly at Li Ruihua standing to the side.

Seeing this, Li Ruihua looked at the pale face, then at his old wife who was so thin she was just skin and bones, her eyes deeply sunken, and he sighed helplessly.

"Brother Qiao, is there something you need?"

"Is such that……"

Nian Yunci stuffed the gluten powder into Wang Xueqin's arms and pulled Qiao Nian forward.

"Professor Li, my daughter is pregnant. We are a little worried about her health and the baby after traveling such a long distance."

"I would like to ask you to take my pulse."

Upon hearing this, Li Ruihua nodded, sat down on the kang (a heated brick bed), and asked Qiao Nian to hand him her hand.

Qiao Nian obediently said, "Thank you for your trouble, Uncle Li," before extending her hand.

Her slender, fair wrists revealed faintly visible veins.

Li Ruihua raised his hand and placed it on her wrist, closing his eyes and listening intently to her pulse.

Qiao Guowen and Nian Yunci, a married couple, stood nervously to the side.

Qiao Nian was also a little nervous.

Place the other hand on the lower abdomen.

It took Li Ruihua a while to open her eyes.

"The adults are in good health, and the two children are also in good health."

"What? Two children?"

Three surprised voices rang out simultaneously from inside the room.

Not only Qiao Guowen and Nian Yunci, but even Qiao Nian herself was shocked.

Is she carrying two children?

Li Ruihua wasn't as surprised as they were. He looked at the Qiao family of three and asked in a calm tone, "You didn't have any checkups before?"

Qiao Guowen, Nian Yunci...

The couple looked at Qiao Nian together.

Qiao Nian shook her head.

She had originally arranged with Lu Xiao that he would come back to accompany her for her prenatal checkup when she was three months pregnant.

Before he could return from the army, he fell off a cliff and woke up five years later...

When Nian Yunci saw her daughter's appearance, she knew exactly what was going on.

She smiled and said to Li Ruihua, "Thank you, Professor Li. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have known that Niannian was pregnant with twins."

Qiao Guowen came to his senses and thanked him repeatedly.

Their daughter was found again, and she brought with her two beloved grandsons.

Even God couldn't bear to see their family line die out!
Li Ruihua waved his hand.

"fine."

"Fortunately, he is young and in good health. As long as he doesn't overwork himself and gets enough nutrition, there won't be any problems with his growth."

The adults will be fine too.

Qiao Guowen and his wife thanked them again.

Qiao Nian also stood up and bowed respectfully to Li Ruihua.

"Thank you, Uncle Li."

A polite little girl is someone everyone would like.

Li Ruihua nodded to Qiao Nian, telling her to come to him anytime if she felt unwell.

"it is good."

"Thank you for your help, Brother Li."

Qiao Nian and Qiao Guowen thanked them together.

Li Ruihua smiled faintly and saw them out.

Back home, Qiao Nian was still thinking about going to collect firewood with Qiao Guowen.

Qiao Guowen and Nian Yunci were both unwilling.

“Niannian, didn’t you hear Uncle Li say that you’re pregnant with twins? It’s dangerous in the snow, so don’t go.”

Nian Yunci stopped Qiao Nian. Qiao Guowen nodded in agreement.

"Mom, Dad, they didn't say that you can't go if you're pregnant. I'm perfectly healthy right now, that's what Uncle Li said."

"And if we don't gather firewood during this time, we won't be able to leave the house when the snow gets even heavier next month."

"Then the three of us adults and two babies will freeze to death at home."

Qiao Nian wants to go to the mountains today while the snow has stopped.

Qiao Guowen and Nian Yunci knew that she was talking about this principle.

The couple had no choice.

Nian Yunci looked outside and saw that the weather had indeed cleared up a bit, so she suggested that she go along.

"Mom, you don't need to go."

"You forgot, you still need to make cotton-padded clothes at home."

Qiao Nian wanted to go to the mountains, firstly because she was worried about her father being alone, and secondly because her space could hold much more than carrying things on her shoulders.

A single trip to the mountains might yield enough firewood to last their family comfortably for ten to fifteen days.

In the end, she and her father took a chipped machete and went out into the distant mountains.

The father and daughter walked along the narrow mountain path.

After walking for about ten kilometers, we finally saw a large area of ​​forest and hills.

The woods were white, and so were the hills.

Qiao Guowen told Qiao Nian that they should just gather firewood in the nearby woods and not go into the woods further away.

There will be wolves and very fierce wild boars inside.

“In winter, not only can people not find food, but wild animals can’t find food either. We can’t trespass into their territory.”

Qiao Guowen, carrying a machete, slowly walked along the edge of the forest, picking up the dead branches that had broken off from the trees under the weight of the snow.

Qiao Nian looked at her father's no longer upright figure walking in the snow, and slowly followed after him.

There weren't many bare branches on the snow, but there was one in the distance.

When Qiao Guowen saw them, he would be very happy to collect them, preparing to bundle them up and carry them back later.

Qiao Nian doesn't dare to use her spatial ability to collect tree branches for the time being.

She wasn't sure if there were other people around, so it was best to be cautious.

The father and daughter walked forward for a while and sure enough, they heard voices coming from the woods.

Qiao Nian couldn't help but feel fortunate that she hadn't rashly reached out to take the things.

Qiao Guowen turned his head and looked at Qiao Nian.

"Niannian, cover your face."

His daughter is beautiful; even if only her eyes are visible, they are the most beautiful eyes in the world.

Qiao Guowen didn't want to cause trouble because of his daughter's appearance.

Qiao Nian nodded.

He covered his face with a scarf, leaving only his eyes visible.

Her cotton-padded coat was tattered and bulky, completely concealing her graceful figure and snow-white skin.

The father and daughter walked a short distance before they saw several people emerging from the woods.

It was a group of men, talking loudly in the local accent.

Upon seeing Qiao Guowen and Qiao Nian, he let out a flirtatious "yo-ho."

"Isn't this that stinking exiled fellow? You're here to gather firewood too? Didn't your son-in-law, who's in the army, prepare any firewood for you?"

"Haha, isn't your son-in-law supposed to be very capable? Why do you still need to come here to collect firewood in this heavy snow?"

These people were laughing and joking around, showing no respect whatsoever.

Qiao Guowen lowered his head and remained silent.

Qiao Nian stood beside him, and sensibly did not raise her head.

If this were before, if this were still in Shanghai, she would have slapped these people a couple of times, but not now.

She knew that even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake.

Moreover, they were just out-of-towners with limited resources.

Fortunately, these people didn't mean anything by it. They just mocked Qiao Guowen, glanced at Qiao Nian, and then swaggered away.

Qiao Guowen breathed a sigh of relief once they had gone far away.

"The fact that they were able to come out of the woods proves that there should be no wild animals nearby."
