Chapter 1389: Unexpected Joy

Zhang Yurong felt a bit puzzled when she heard there was a phone call for her; who would be calling at this time? "Hello, this is Zhang Yurong, who is this?"

"Yurong, it's your eldest sister-in-law."

"Eldest sister-in-law, why are you calling?"

"Here's the situation: just now your eldest brother called and said that the fourth sister-in-law is pregnant with triplets. I was thinking of going to visit, and wondered if you'd like to come along?"

Upon hearing "triplets," Zhang Yurong's mind went 'buzz' with a shock: "What, triplets? How is that possible?"

Guo Wenjing didn't expect the third sister-in-law to react this way: "Third sister-in-law, are you alright?"

Zhang Yurong then realized she had lost her composure; seeing everyone in the office looking at her, she quickly made an excuse: "I'm fine, I was just shocked. After all, we only found out yesterday she was pregnant with multiples, and today it's directly triplets."

Guo Wenjing naturally understood her: "Do you want to come along?"

Zhang Yurong naturally didn't want to go, but couldn't refuse directly: "Eldest sister-in-law, my workplace has been very busy lately; I'm afraid it'll be hard to get leave, and dragging it out too long isn't good either. Why don't you go first, and I'll come over once I get leave?"

Guo Wenjing naturally wouldn't force her: "Alright then, I'll ask your second sister-in-law later to see if she wants to come along. I'll hang up now."

After hanging up, Zhang Yurong's face looked very ugly; she couldn't quite figure it out. She had clearly gone to the hospital for a checkup, her body was perfectly normal, so why couldn't she get pregnant?

Triplets, three children; how could Heaven be so unfair, why couldn't it give one to her belly?

Next, the Xiao family also received calls. After work, Xiao Wanxia went straight to her maiden home: "Mom, have you heard about Chuxue being pregnant with triplets?"

Xiao's eldest aunt laughed: "Your father just told me. Since your second aunt is currently taking care of a nursing baby and it's inconvenient, I was thinking, why don't you and Xia Qiu make a trip this weekend? For such a great joy, shouldn't us maternal relatives show our faces?"

As the mother and daughter were talking, they heard someone shout outside: "Haitang, there's a phone call for you."

There you go; Chuxue didn't know that just because she was pregnant with triplets, she had even generated extra revenue for the Post and Telecommunications Bureau.

Xiao's eldest aunt untied her apron, threw it into her own daughter's arms, and said: "You go check the dishes on the stove; I'll go answer the call."

The voice of her younger sister-in-law, Xiao Nianchun, came from the other end of the phone: "Eldest sister-in-law, you know about Chuxue being pregnant with triplets, right?"

Xiao's eldest aunt made an "Mm" sound: "I was just talking about this with Wanxia, thinking of going to visit her this weekend."

Hearing this, Xiao Nianchun quickly said: "My second brother called back to the ancestral land, and my mother specifically called to instruct me to go over there."

The two discussed it and happily decided to go together to the military unit on Sunday to visit.

The person being thought of by everyone was currently sitting in a rocking chair in the courtyard, smiling foolishly.

She never expected that she would be so lucky today; Engineer Gu had recommended her to the First Ministry of Machine Building, and by sheer coincidence, that ministry happened to have a batch of technical journals and patent documents needing professional translation. Hearing that she had previously translated manuals for imported equipment at the rolling mill, they directly asked her to come for an interview.

After several rounds of interviews and written tests, and even some people communicating with her directly in English and German, she ultimately became an external staff member of the First Ministry of Machine Building.

Originally, they wanted her to work regular office hours, but she tactfully explained her situation. After the leaders discussed it and filed her case, she became an external translator for the First Ministry of Machine Building, and they even issued her a temporary work credential for emergencies.
