"My second sister-in-law is pregnant? This is great news." Lin Lin looked at her second sister-in-law.

Guan Xiaoyuan smiled a little shyly. In Lin Lin's impression, her second sister-in-law is a person who doesn't talk much.

"Then my second brother must take good care of my second sister-in-law." Lin Gong's sunburned face was full of happy smiles.

"I know that, I will definitely take good care of her." Lin's second brother replied.

"Has my second sister-in-law gone to the hospital for a check-up?" Lin Lin said.

"No, I just feel uncomfortable these two days. I always feel nauseous when I eat. I went to see the barefoot doctor in the village. He said I'm pregnant." Guan Xiaoyuan talked a little more about her pregnancy.

"My second brother and sister-in-law should go to the town hospital together in two days. It's more reassuring to check in the hospital." Lin Lin suggested.

"Okay, we'll go together when you come back to town, little sister." Second Brother Lin nodded.

Lin Lin has really felt the busyness of the harvest these two days at home. She gets up early in the morning to rush to the fields. At noon, the women at home prepare meals and bring them to the fields for eating. After a break, they continue to work.

This day, Lin Lin saw her second sister-in-law eating black plums at home. In fact, there are a lot of these things on the back mountain, but they are too sour. Except for pregnant people like her second sister-in-law, no one likes to eat them.

Lin Lin suddenly had an idea. She could make sour plum soup to drink. It's just right to drink it on such a hot day.

Lin Lin went to the back mountain to pick a lot of sour plums and licorice. After returning home, she started to make sour plum soup. After it was done, she took a sip to try it. It was not bad. She took it to the well to cool down with the mung bean soup.

When it was delivered at noon, it was warmly welcomed. Lin's mother asked directly how to make it. It was not a precious item, so she told Lin's mother the method so that she could make it herself after she left.

A few days later, Lin Lin took the hair tie she made at home and went to the town with her second brother and second sister-in-law.

Lin Lin's second brother and second sister-in-law went to the hospital first, while Lin Lin went to the dormitory to put down her things, and then went to the food supply station to buy three pounds of eggs and two cans of malted milk.

When Lin Lin arrived at the hospital, her second brother and second sister-in-law had already received the test results. The doctor said that she was definitely pregnant, but her second sister-in-law was a little calcium deficient and a little malnourished. The two did not know what "calcium deficiency" meant, but when they heard the doctor say that it would have some impact on the child, they were very panicked.

After knowing this, Lin Lin explained: "Calcium deficiency is not a big deal. You just need to take calcium tablets to supplement it and you can also bask in the sun."

Guan Xiaoyuan listened carefully and nodded from time to time.

"Second sister-in-law, this is what I bought for my little nephew to eat. Take it well." Then she handed the egg in her hand to her second brother.

"Then I'll thank his aunt on behalf of my son." He said, and took the eggs and maltose from Lin Lin's hand with a chuckle.

"What's the point of saying thank you when we're all family members?" Lin Lin waved her hand, "Will you go back after the examination, brother?"
