Chapter 113 Twins
"Go to sleep, it's getting late."
Xu Sui hummed in agreement, and after a while, she found a comfortable position and gradually fell asleep.
She's a restless sleeper; she always rolls around in her sleep.
Qin Yunzhou didn't fall asleep quickly. He was used to thinking about things before bed, such as who would be the most suitable person to help Xu Sui with her college entrance exam.
Names flashed through my mind, but I couldn't think of a suitable candidate for the time being.
He doesn't actually know many people here, but he would know quite a lot in Beijing.
The relationships between people are like a huge network. Getting to know one person allows you to get to know others through that person, and then get to know even more people through those others.
Of course, if you want someone to help you, you first have to make them willing. Whether it's an exchange of benefits or something else, they can't help you for no reason.
At this moment, Qin Yunzhou noticed that the person next to him was turning over.
The next second, Xu Sui, who had already fallen asleep, unconsciously rolled into his arms.
He reached out and skillfully caught her, then covered her with the blanket that had been pulled away, and finally tidied up the messy hair on the woman's face.
Gradually, the moonlight outside the window began to shine through.
Qin Yunzhou's gaze unconsciously drifted to Xu Sui's stomach, recalling the sensation he had felt that evening.
It seems... her three-month-old belly is much bigger than a normal three-month-old belly.
In the books he's been reading lately, most women who are three months pregnant don't show much of a bump.
Unless... it's twins.
Thinking of this, Qin Yunzhou couldn't help but touch it again through the blanket.
Having twins seems to be more difficult for the mother, requiring more nutrition.
Especially since Xu Sui is so thin.
It seems we need to think of more solutions.
Before that, you need to go to the hospital to see a doctor to confirm the situation.
Qin Yunzhou hadn't considered that the baby might be conceived at an inappropriate time of pregnancy, and he suspected Xu Sui.
That night, although he was disoriented by the drug, he could still clearly sense that it was her first time.
She also knew that since they got together, Xu Sui hadn't been involved with other men like before.
……
The next day.
Early in the morning.
When Xu Sui woke up, it was already broad daylight, and Qin Yunzhou was no longer by her side.
Upon asking, I learned that she had gone out.
The old hen he brought back yesterday is still tied up at home, and there's chicken droppings all over the place.
Du Mei got up early and was helping Tian Hua tidy up the house, sprinkling ash on the chicken droppings and cleaning them up little by little.
Grandma Qin and the rest of the Qin family went to work or school.
Those who stay at home are those who don't need to go to work.
As soon as Xu Sui got up and opened the door, Du Mei rushed over and called out, "Second Cousin-in-law, I need to do laundry. Do you have any dirty clothes? I'll wash them for you while I'm at it."
Xu Sui paused for a moment, then shook her head and said, "No need, I can manage on my own."
Du Mei was a little disappointed, but she quickly cheered up again. "Second cousin-in-law, I'll go get you some hot water to wash your face. The water is already boiled and on the stove."
After saying that, she ran away in a flash.
Xiao Fen, who had just gotten up, came out and looked at the dark-skinned, ugly girl's back. She curled her lip and said, "This girl seems a bit smarter than yesterday. The old lady must have taught her in private."
"She's trying to please you."
Xu Sui changed the subject, "Sister-in-law, I need to go wash up."
After saying that, she left.
As soon as she went out, Du Mei had already prepared the water for her to wash her face, and also brought her a handkerchief and her toothbrush.
In fact, the Qin family used to share one handkerchief to wash their faces. From the elderly to the children, regardless of age or gender, everyone used the same handkerchief. That handkerchief had several holes in it and was tattered. If you didn't know better, you would think it was a rag.
When Xu Sui arrived at the Qin family, she was shocked to see that situation for the first time.
However, she couldn't say anything about other people's habits, so she just quietly put her and Qin Yunzhou's washcloths in another place, separate from the Qin family's washcloths.
Du Mei clearly asked around and put in the effort to find the right handkerchief for her.
"Xiaomei, thank you, but you don't need to next time," Xu Sui said politely.
Du Mei pursed her lips, lowered her head, and said in a muffled voice, "But...but I want to do something for my second cousin-in-law."
She had never received such nice clothes before, and there were several pieces at once.
In the countryside, few children have a single piece of clothing that belongs to them. Most share one piece of clothing, whichever family member goes out in. Those who stay at home lie naked under their blankets.
Xu Sui sighed, "I'm helping you not so you can do these little things for me, but so you can have a better life."
"Actually, you have very nice features. If you dress up a bit and take care of yourself, you'll definitely look good."
"Those clothes aren't for you to put away, they're for you to wear. A girl your age should focus on improving herself, like reading and writing, or dressing herself up nicely."
"Your hair has many split ends and is quite yellow. You could consider cutting it shorter, washing it with rice water to help it grow, and also your walking posture. Try to keep your head up and chest out, and don't be afraid to make eye contact with people..."
While washing up, Xu Sui helped Du Mei with her makeover. In the end, she spent some time finding a pair of scissors and gave her a new hairstyle.
Du Mei's face is rather long and thin, with a relatively large forehead. She would suit a wispy fringe to modify her face shape, making her look more streamlined and natural. She is too thin, and her hair is long, dry, and yellow, with a texture as bad as straw.
After obtaining the other party's consent, Xu Sui directly cut her hair shorter, and the two braids were just at chest level.
Finally, Du Mei changed into another outfit, which Xu Sui had given her: a simple floral shirt and black pants that suited all skin tones.
After dressing up, she looked more youthful and pretty, and less rustic. Upon closer inspection, the person herself hadn't changed much, but the overall impression she gave off had.
Xiao Fen, who came out of the house, widened her eyes in surprise, thinking she was seeing things.
She walked quickly over to Xu Sui's side, but her gaze couldn't help but drift towards Du Mei, and she inadvertently blurted out what was on her mind.
"Is this...is this still that dark-skinned, ugly girl? How come she suddenly looks different? I don't remember going back to the room for long."
Just then, after sweeping the street, Old Lady Qin entered the courtyard and saw an unfamiliar figure at her door. She subconsciously asked a question.
"Whose daughter is this? I've never seen her before!"
The next second, the unfamiliar figure suddenly turned around and looked at them; it was a face that was both familiar and strange.
Grandma Qin was stunned for a long time before she recognized that this was her rustic granddaughter.
She rushed up to Du Mei, pulled her close, and looked her up and down, beaming with joy.
"Oh my, you've suddenly changed so much, you even look a bit like a city girl now."
That's good, finding a partner is a little easier now.
Although he's still dark-skinned and thin, at least he doesn't look rustic anymore.
Xiao Fen nodded in agreement, somewhat tempted, after all, what woman doesn't want to become more beautiful?
"You bet it's completely different now."
"Tell me quickly, how did you suddenly become so insightful?"
Du Mei smiled gratefully at Xu Sui, then looked at Grandma Qin and Xiao Fen, "Grandma, eldest cousin-in-law, it was second cousin-in-law who helped me with this."
She had just looked in the mirror and couldn't believe that the person in the mirror was her.
