Armed with a machete and a gun, armed with a system, they fled the famine.

Shen Yu rushed off to write a letter in a panic.

Dou Xingyan quickly calmed down after her initial excitement.

After Yuan Yutang waited for her to calm down, he then instructed her, "Girl, you shouldn't overwork yourself during the first three months. Take care of yourself."

Zhao Yan patted Dou Xingyan on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Why don't you come back to the farm with us later? Neither I nor your brother Yang are comfortable leaving you alone in town."

Shen Yu, who had rushed back after hastily finishing his letter, said before Dou Xingyan could speak, "Sister Zhao is right, Xingyan. I'll take you back to the farm later. You can stay there from now on, and I'll try my best to go back every day."

He has already sent the letter to the capital. If his brother-in-law sends someone to pick up Xingyan, he will accompany her back to the capital to rest and prepare for childbirth.

After all, Xingyan was carrying the first child of the Shen and Dou families, and they all attached great importance to it.

Dou Xingyan thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

The group sat for a few more moments before getting up and leaving.

Shen Yu carefully helped Dou Xingyan into his carriage, and then followed her in.

He instructed his men to carefully drive the carriage behind Zhao Yan and the others, and they soon returned to the farm.

Worried that he might be too busy to come back sometimes, he simply sent Dou Xingyan to Zhao Yan's place.

Apart from Yang Sanlang, who was in a slightly bad mood, Zhao Yan and Zhao Xiaomi, the three siblings, were quite happy.

Yang Sanlang was unhappy because with Xingyan at home, he didn't dare to be intimate with his wife at night.

But he was overthinking it.

The house is so big, it won't be crowded when Dou Xingyan comes.

"Sister Zhao, Brother Yang, please take care of Xingyan."

Shen Yu had to rush back to the restaurant, so after dropping Dou Xingyan off at the farm, he prepared to head back.

Zhao Yan pulled Dou Xingyan to sit down on the veranda, and waved to Shen Yu with a smile, "Go ahead and do your work, you don't need to worry about things at home."

"Okay, I'll be right back."

Shen Yu bowed to Zhao Yan and Yang Sanlang again, and before leaving, he took a deep look at Dou Xingyan before reluctantly departing.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Yan couldn't help but tease, "Xingyan, Brother Shen doesn't want to leave you, does he?"

Dou Xingyan's face flushed bright red, and she lowered her head in embarrassment.

"Sister Zhao, please stop talking."

She never wanted to leave Brother Shen.

After Brother Shen left, she always felt a void in her heart.

Zhao Yan just smiled and didn't continue.

Dou Xingyan settled down at the farm, and Shen Yu would come back to check on her every other day.

A few days later, several uninvited guests arrived at the farm.

Dou Xingyan looked at the person in front of her and jumped up from the chair, startling Shen Yu, who quickly went to support her arm.

"Brother, why are you here?"

Dou Qingran took a few steps closer and asked without answering, "Xingyan, how's your stomach? Does it hurt?"

His sister suddenly stood up, which almost scared him to death.

Dou Xingyan probably realized she had gotten up too abruptly, and said embarrassedly, "Brother, I'm fine. Tell me quickly, why are you here? You're so free now?"

Seeing that she really didn't seem to be in any trouble, Dou Qingran said helplessly, "I just heard you were pregnant, so I came to see how you are."

He originally wanted to send someone to pick up his sister and bring her back to the capital, but he was afraid that Xingyan would not want to go back, so he had no choice but to come in person.

He was relieved only after seeing with his own eyes that everyone was alright.

Dou Xingyan was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes.

"Brother, you're so good to me. You're so busy, yet you still rushed over to see me. I...I..."

She suddenly couldn't continue speaking and started crying while clinging to Shen Yu's arm.

What should I do if I suddenly miss my mother and father so much?

Wouldn't they be very happy if they knew she was pregnant?

If only they were still alive.

Shen Yu and his brother-in-law exchanged a glance and had no choice but to hold the person in their arms and gently comfort them.

"Xingyan, don't cry. Uncle Yuan said it's best not to cry when you're pregnant, it's not good for the baby. What if our daughter is like you and likes to cry a lot in the future? Should I comfort you first or comfort our daughter first?"

Dou Xingyan was still feeling sad, but upon hearing Shen Yu's words, she immediately became unhappy.

"How can you be so sure I'm having a girl? What if it's a boy?"

Seeing that she had stopped crying, Shen Yu quickly took a handkerchief and wiped the tears from her face before smiling and saying, "Whether it's a daughter or a son, they're both our precious children, aren't they? You wouldn't want them to be a little crybaby from a young age, would you?"

Dou Xingyan naturally didn't want this to happen.

So, she suppressed her sadness and smiled apologetically at Dou Qingran.

"Brother, I'm actually fine. I just missed you because I haven't seen you in so long."

Upon hearing this, Dou Qingran's gaze paused slightly.

He had a pretty good idea of ​​what was wrong with his sister.

My younger sister is probably thinking of her father and mother.

Thinking of her parents who had passed away long ago, Dou Qingran sighed inwardly, but said without showing any emotion, "Since you miss me, why don't you come back to the capital with me today?"

With him in the capital, my sister's pregnancy will be fine.

Dou Xingyan blinked and suddenly understood why her brother had come to the farm in person.

He wants to take her back to the capital.

But she doesn't want to go back yet.

After a moment of silence, she suddenly shook her head and said to Dou Qingran, "Brother, I want to stay here."

"Brother Yang and Sister Zhao are here, as well as Uncle Yuan and Uncle Su. Don't worry, with them here, I'll be fine."

She knew her brother meant well.

At this moment, Zhao Yan and Yang Sanlang rushed over.

Upon learning of Dou Qingran's purpose, Zhao Yan smiled and said to him, "Brother Dou, Xingyan can stay if she wants. Uncle Yuan and we are all here. If you are really worried, you can leave a few experienced nannies here to take care of Xingyan."

Dou Qingran thought that this would work, so she stopped insisting on taking her sister back to the capital.

Fortunately, he brought several experienced nannies with him this time. Two were in charge of Dou Xingyan's meals, two were in charge of her daily life, and two were in charge of childbirth and postpartum care.

He said to Zhao Yan and Yang Sanlang, "Sister-in-law, Sanlang, I'm entrusting Xingyan to you."

Yang Sanlang also regarded Dou Xingyan as his younger sister, so he quickly waved his hand and said, "Brother Dou, Xingyan is also my younger sister. You're just being polite to me."

Dou Qingran couldn't help but smile.

"Yes, Xingyan is your sister, and I am your older brother. From now on, we are family."

Zhao Yan smiled as well.

“Brother Dou is right. Xingyan is my sister. I’m so glad I have Xingyan as my sister. I always have someone to talk to.”

They've worked together for so many years, they've developed a strong bond with each other.

Dou Xingyan smiled and clung to Zhao Yan's arm, refusing to let go.

"That's right, big brother, don't worry, I'm absolutely safe with Sister Zhao."
