Xinyan was actually just as excited inside; guessing and getting a confirmed diagnosis were two different things after all. "Yes, we’re going to be a dad and a mom."

In her previous life she’d raised someone else’s child her whole life, only to end up with that kind of ending. Now she was finally about to fulfill her dream, to have a child who shared her blood. She couldn’t help the tears that welled up in her eyes.

She thought to herself: This is so good.

He Jinxuan walked up and squatted in front of Xinyan, his eyes fixed on her belly, filled with nothing but joy.

He was so excited he forgot Old Mrs. Tong was still there. He raised his hand and touched Xinyan’s stomach. "I’m going to be a dad."

Old Mrs. Tong, seeing that Xinyan was fine, didn’t feel like watching the two of them being all lovey-dovey. Without saying anything, she turned and left the room, heading toward her own courtyard.

She had just stepped out of the gate when she ran into her daughter-in-law coming from their place. "Mom, how’s Xinyan?"

Old Mrs. Tong smiled. "Mm, she really is pregnant."

Ning Suqing glanced toward Xinyan’s small courtyard, only to hear her mother-in-law say, "Alright, let’s go back. I’ve got to hurry and give your Aunt Zhang a call."

Ning Suqing saw the old lady walking quickly toward their own yard and was afraid she’d fall if she rushed, so she hurried to catch up. "Mom, slow down a bit."

Old Mrs. Tong’s eldest son was a big shot at the post and telecommunications office, so of course their household had a telephone installed. Although Xinyan’s pregnancy wasn’t supposed to be spread around before three months.

But over this matter, Granny Zhang had nagged Old Mrs. Tong quite a bit. Now that there was good news, Old Mrs. Tong naturally couldn’t keep it in. "Hello, elder sister."

Granny Zhang recognized Old Mrs. Tong’s voice as soon as she heard it. "Younger sister, how come you’re calling?"

Old Mrs. Tong’s voice was laced with joy. "Of course I’ve got good news to share with you."

Granny Zhang was puzzled. "Did your eldest grandson’s match get settled?"

Old Mrs. Tong laughed. "Nope, try again."

Old Mrs. Tong saw that wasn’t it. "What then, don’t tell me your eldest has been promoted again?"

Old Mrs. Tong saw her elder sister kept guessing about her own family. "It’s not a happy event from my side."

As soon as she said that, Granny Zhang’s voice on the other end unconsciously rose a notch. "Don’t tell me Yanyan’s got good news?"

At that moment Old Mrs. Tong felt she’d been a bit impulsive. For such a big matter, if she were the one to announce it, wouldn’t that be overstepping? "I thought about it and decided it’s better to let the person herself tell you the good news."

After she finished speaking, she chuckled.

Hearing that, Granny Zhang knew she’d guessed right. She felt today was truly a wonderful day: she had just learned that her daughter-in-law was pregnant, and her mood hadn’t even calmed down yet when there was good news from Xinyan’s side as well.

She couldn’t be bothered to say anything more to Old Mrs. Tong; after a few polite words she hastily hung up.

She dialed Xinyan directly. "Hello, Yanyan."

Xinyan didn’t even need to think to know that it must have been Grandma Tong who called her. "Granny Zhang, you’ve heard?"

Granny Zhang laughed. "Your Grandma Tong just called me, but she didn’t say what it was. Still, hearing how happy she sounded, I could guess that there must be some movement in your belly."

Xinyan said with a smile, "Yes, it’s just over a month."

Hearing Xinyan confirm it herself, Granny Zhang was so happy she slapped her thigh over and over. "Good, good, good, today really is a blessed day. Your senior sister also tested positive for pregnancy. Your Uncle Shanzi just called to share the good news."

Xinyan hadn’t expected that she and her senior sister would end up pregnant at the same time. "When did Senior Sister get tested? How far along is she?"

Granny Zhang’s voice was full of cheer. "She just got checked. Your Shanzi called in such a rush that in all the excitement I forgot to ask how far along she is."
