Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Twins

Qin Xue followed Li Rong to the B-ultrasound room, unfastened her overalls, and lay on the bed. The B-ultrasound at this time was not like the color ultrasound or four-dimensional color ultrasound of later times; it was just in black and white.
There wasn’t a dedicated person to perform B-ultrasound. The doctors had to do it as a part-time job.
After applying coupling gel, Li Rong slowly moved the B-ultrasound probe on Qin Xue’s belly.
As expected, it was twins. Li Rong smiled and said:
“Qin Xue, you’re so blessed. You’re carrying twins. They’re developing well and their heartbeats are strong and healthy.”
Li Rong handed the B-ultrasound report to Qin Xue after examining it.
Qin Xue saw the two babies in her womb’s report, cuddling together. The children had already taken shape, and she could see that they were facing each other with their fists clenched and curving into a semi-circle.
It was so adorable, and at that moment, Qin Xue’s smile was particularly gentle.
The temperament she exuded was very touching. Li Rong was happy for Qin Xue and said:
“Qin Xue, there’s nothing to worry about, the babies are fine. You should drink more fish soup and bone soup after you go home.
Your twins might be born earlier than their due date, so you should come in for an early check-up when the time comes. There’s nothing else to worry about.”
“Okay, thank you, Doctor.” Qin Xue already knew that people pregnant with twins were more likely to give birth prematurely.
She hoped her cheap husband would be with her when the time came. Why was she thinking of him again? She shook her head and put away the ultrasound report.
She went around the market and bought 1 kg of tofu for fish soup. She also bought a can of milk to make double skin milk.
She looked around but didn’t have enough coupons to buy many things.
She changed her path and went to the black market: no need to buy vegetables, eggs, or fish, but it seemed like other things needed to be bought as well.
Qin Xue bought three ribs, 1.5 kg of pork belly, 1 kg of lean meat, and a pig’s foot. These things could be bought without coupons in the black market but were more expensive.
Fortunately, Qin Xue had made some money, otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to afford these items. If she could buy a rice milling machine, she could mill her own rice from the grains.
However, there might not be any channels to buy such a large machine.
But it was fine to buy a stone mortar and mill the rice herself. She didn’t eat much, so milling a few pounds at a time would be enough, and it meant she wouldn’t go hungry even without grain coupons.
Wheat also couldn’t be ground into flour, and there was no way to use the grains in her space since they had not been hulled. It was quite a sad situation.
It seems better not to grow grains. If she could find ginseng seeds to plant, they would sell for a lot of money. How many ginseng plants could she grow in her space?
Thinking about it made her happy, but she could only dream about it. Where could she find ginseng seeds for sale?
Unless she could go deep into the mountains to find them, but that would be an impossible mission for Qin Xue. She should focus on the present.
Qin Xue bought ten 2.5 kg wine jars. The peach blossom wine should be ready, and she would check the taste and bring some to Li Zhao and An Hao.
Remembering that there wasn’t much rice and flour left in the morning, she bought 5 kg more rice and 2.5 kg more flour, as well as some condiments.
There were too many things, so Qin Xue hired someone to help send them to the car before she could breathe a sigh of relief.
For some reason, there were too many people around today, and she couldn’t find an opportunity to put everything into her space. So she had to carry everything, which was exhausting.
People on the car looked at pregnant Qin Xue with a variety of expressions some envious, some jealous, and some greedy. Qin Xue pretended not to see them and took a seat.
Luckily, the wine jars weren’t too big and were packed in a box; otherwise, she wouldn’t know how to carry them home.
She took out the water bottle from her bag, drank all the water in one breath, and felt a little better. When she got off the car later, she still had to walk four or five minutes before reaching the entrance. How would she carry everything home? Qin Xue was on the verge of tears.
When she was about to fall asleep with all the swaying, the car finally arrived at the station. Qin Xue unloaded her items and looked around, seeing people everywhere. How could she put everything into her space?
If she carried some and left some behind, someone might take them. No matter what she thought, it wouldn’t work. If she had known, she wouldn’t have bought so many things.
With a bitten lip, Qin Xue circled around her items, mumbling to herself..
