What made her mother change her attitude all of a sudden and refuse to spend any more money on Qiao Zijin?

Even though she had been through rebirth, she was not invincible. Qiao Nan was not able to understand what Ding Jiayi was thinking about.

“No matter what, now that the two troublemakers are gone, you can have a good night’s rest today. You must not overtire my nephews or nieces. You are carrying twins. The doctor said that you will have premature labor. This is not even your seventh month, but your tummy is already so large. I have already made arrangements with the hospital. I don’t think you will be able to go to school when school reopens in September.”

Zhai Hua sighed with relief. Qiao Nan was indeed lucky.

It was likely that Qiao Nan was pregnant in January. In normal cases, she would be due for delivery after ten months of pregnancy. After one month of confinement, she would be able to go back to school earliest by the end of this semester.

However, Qiao Nan was carrying twins, and she would have premature labor.

Perhaps Qiao Nan would have been done with her confinement and she would be able to go back to school before November. If that was the case, she would have only missed half of the semester.

“Yes, Mom has discussed it with me. She will help me apply for at least two months of leave at school in September.” Qiao Nan touched her round tummy.

She had been mentally prepared. “Sister Zhai Hua, it is summer break now. Do Zhu Baoguo and Shi Qing have a summer break? I haven’t seen Uncle Zhu and the two of them. Could they have returned to Ping Cheng?”

They did not have any family or relatives in Ping Cheng. What would they be doing in Ping Cheng?

“They are in a different school. They must have received a special task. For them, going to school is similar to going to the army. Zhu Baoguo and Shi Qing would not be able to come home frequently. Their situation is similar to that of Zhai Sheng, except that Zhai Sheng is busier than them. They might not be able to make it back to see your babies after your delivery.”

Zhai Hua had no wish to talk about Zhai Sheng, the father of the children.

She knew that it was even more impossible for Zhai Sheng to make it back in time. She had no wish to bring him up lest she upset Qiao Nan.

“Are the two of them still very active?” Zhai Hua was immersed in doing two tasks recently.

Firstly, it was to lift Qiao Nan’s clothes, placing her hands on her tummy and talking to the babies.

Secondly, it would be to accompany Qiao Nan to go for walks, ensuring that she had been exercising so that she would have a smooth labor.

“...” Qiao Nan had yet to reply when Zhai Hua felt a bulge at the part of Qiao Nan’s tummy where she rested her hands on. “Are they saying ‘hello’ to me?”

Qiao Nan knitted her eyebrows. As time passed by, her babies seemed to be more active and would exert more force when they moved about in her tummy.

When she first experienced the fetus movement, she was startled. She did not feel any discomfort.

However, whenever the babies threw punches or kicks in her tummy now, she would feel a piercing pain. “I don’t think they are saying their greetings. They are doing the military drill instead. They want to learn from you. It is still alright if my babies are boys. It will be troublesome if they are girls.”

If they were sons, they would grow up to be outstanding like Brother Zhai, and they would become real men with an indomitable spirit.

However, things would be different if they were daughters.

The Zhai family would have Zhai Hua juniors then.

At the thought of Zhai Hua’s behavior and temperament, Qiao Nan felt giddy and helpless.

If she had daughters, she hoped that they would be well-behaved and adorable.

“Military drill? That’s great. The two of you must behave yourself while in your mom’s tummy. After you come to the world, I will show you the military drill and train you, okay?”

Zhai Hua’s eyes lit up. She spoke in a gentle tone, unlike her tough lady image.

In order to show that they liked their auntie, the babies gave a fierce kick to Qiao Nan again. Qiao Nan could not help but suck in her breath in pain. “Sister Zhai Hua, stop teasing them. If this goes on, I will be moaning in pain. The two brats exert a lot of force in their kicks. I don’t know how long they will be able to stay in my tummy.”

Babies would be able to receive double the nourishment when in the mother’s womb than when they were born.

Therefore, premature babies would be weaker than full-term babies.

If the babies were born more than one month earlier than the due date, they might take more than ten years to make up for the deficit in nourishment.

It was challenging to have twins, particularly when they were so naughty and mischievous.

Qiao Nan was worried at how active her babies were. She feared that they might be born prematurely.

“How can a mother say this of their babies? Don’t worry. They will be well-behaved and they will make it easy for you. Hopefully, they will not be born prematurely. There are so many of us. We will be able to take good care of them. The doctor already said that a pregnant lady would think too much. I will not take issue with you.”

As long as Qiao Nan did not give birth right away, it was alright if the babies were born slightly before their due date.

Notwithstanding twins, some babies were born one month, two months, or even three months before their due date.

But it was true that babies born three months before their due date would be weaker and smaller.

“Let’s go. It’s time for your walk. Given your condition, you cannot have too many exercises, but you can’t sit at home every day either. Let’s do some exercise.” Zhai Hua acted like the clock. Once it was time, she would get Qiao Nan to do simple exercises like taking a walk.

Zhai Hua was the only person who took care of Qiao Nan for the past few months.

Zhai Yaohui was busy with work. Although Miao Jing did not need to accompany him on his business trips like how she did back then, she would still have to attend and accompany him to certain events from time to time.

Furthermore, Miao Jing was not familiar with the practices of pregnant ladies nowadays as well as the nourishment needed for babies. It was vastly different from what she had in the past.

Zhai Hua had learned a lot about how to take care of pregnant ladies from the female doctor.
