The results were very impressive. It far exceeded Xiaoguo’s expectations. The people in Yonghai County were more receptive than she thought. At first, she thought that people would resist the idea of drinking cows’ milk, but the outcome was truly surprising.

Just like that, the shop sales on the first day exceeded Xiaoguo’s basic expectations.

In stark contrast to the turnover, everyone was exhausted. However, when it was time to count the money after closing, this bit of hardship was nothing compared to the amount of profit they had made.

Just like that, Xiaoguo’s shop went through its trial operations and officially gained a foothold in Yonghai County to become a specialty shop in the area. There were people who came because of its reputation, and there were also passers-by who came in because they were attracted by the shopfront. In short, the store was always bustling with activity every day.

People from both the north and the south, as well as those from the towns and the counties, only had praise for this unique cuisine.

Of course, there were also people who were envious of her success and wanted to start their own business, but they could not figure out the recipes. The food they made was nothing like the desserts that were sold at Xiaoguo’s shop. Not only did their products taste strange, they also looked very different. Eventually, they had no choice but to give up.

Hence, Xiaoguo’s shop became an exclusive landmark in Yonghai County.

After Jiang Danhe found out that Xiaoguo was pregnant, he sent a letter to request for long leave from the capital. Even if Shao Zhan did not agree, there was nothing he could do. After all, it was paternity leave that Jiang Danhe was applying for.

Beside approving his leave request, Shao Zhan also delivered a lot of supplements to Xiaoguo as a friend.

They didn’t plan to hire any staff for the store initially, but as Xiaoguo’s belly grew bigger by the day, Jiang Danhe didn’t want her to work in the store anymore. He stubbornly went to the broker and bought two girls and one boy as employees for the store.

Xiaoguo didn’t know anything about this until Jiang Danhe showed her the indentures.

Fortunately, the three children were well-behaved and kind-hearted. When she found out that they were orphans, Xiaoguo felt sorry for them, so she officially took them in as part of their big family.

It was Xiaoguo’s goal to stay active and excel in her work. But before she could start, it had all come to an end. She’s reverted to being a hands-off manager who only works at the cashier.

During her pregnancy, Xiaoguo was especially picky with her food. She didn’t show it before, but ever since Jiang Danhe started on his leave, she started acting up and would only throw tantrums at him.

No matter how many tantrums she threw, Jiang Danhe didn’t lose his patience at all. He always took care of all her emotions.

In order to cater to her appetite, he even learned how to cook. He prepared sour dishes when she craved sour foods and gave her spicy dishes when she craved spicy foods. Xiaoguo couldn’t find any fault with him. Even if she was deliberately throwing a tantrum, he would always look at her dotingly. Once her tantrum had subsided, he would give her a hug and a kiss.

Xiaoguo, who was being doted on by him, also tried her best to overcome all kinds of emotions during her pregnancy. The couple’s relationship was getting better with each passing day.

Every time Zhuang Zhuang got home, he would lie on Xiaoguo’s stomach and listen to the movements of the baby. There were also times when he would read a book to it.

When Xiaoguo was five months pregnant, her belly had become so big that it was even bigger than Mrs. Yang’s pregnant belly.

Everyone was guessing if she was pregnant with twins or triplets.

Xiaoguo and Jiang Danhe were shocked when they heard those speculations.

It’s already difficult to raise one child, let alone two or three. Just thinking about it was enough to frighten the two of them.

The days passed by peacefully and happily, but suddenly Jiang Danhe had to leave briefly and return to the capital.

Xiaoguo didn’t say it, but she was feeling reluctant to part with him.

“Be good.”

Jiang Danhe stood in front of the horse. He had spent the whole night watching over her. He was even more reluctant than her to part ways.

However, he had been away from the palace for too long, so it would be difficult for him to report to his boss. Although he was on official leave, he could not go overboard. Fortunately, he wouldn’t stay long in the capital. After settling the backlog of work, he would come back immediately.

Seeing that Xiaoguo was ignoring him, Jiang Danhe approached her again and touched her arm. He said softly, “I’ve cut all the fine grass that the cows feed on. You can use those first. I should be back before the grass is finished. Also…”

If it weren’t for her being far along in her pregnancy and unable to endure the bumpy ride, he would have brought her with him.

“Alright, alright. I understand. Hurry up and leave. The sooner you go, the sooner you’ll be back.”

Xiaoguo urged him to go. She knew that he had overdrawn his leave this time. There were a lot of things to do in the capital. If he didn’t go to take care of them, it wouldn’t be justifiable.

At Xiaoguo’s urging, Jiang Danhe finally got on his horse and left.

Looking at the departing figure, Xiaoguo sighed reluctantly. Now that her body was heavy, she would feel uncomfortable after standing for too long.

Just as she was turning to get back into the house, Jiang Danhe suddenly rushed back.

“I’m still worried. I’ll get someone to take care of you.”

Xiaoguo looked at him with helplessness and happiness. “No need. I can manage on my own. Just settle your matters and come back early to accompany me.”

Ever since he received the letter to return to the capital, he became more anxious than Xiaoguo. Worried about her, he had offered to find a maid to take care of her, but she shot down that idea.

Now that the pregnancy had stabilized and there were no issues with her health, there was no need to find someone to take care of her since she had no dietary restrictions and she was enjoying good sleep every night.

Seeing that he was about to say something, Xiaoguo chuckled and said, “It’s really nothing. If you’re really worried, hurry up and settle your matters. Then come back and spend time with me.”

Jiang Danhe hesitated as he held onto the horse. In the end, he looked at her seriously. “I’ll come back as soon as possible.”

“Yes!”

Xiaoguo nodded happily. Of course she believed him!

After Jiang Danhe left, Xiaoguo turned to get back into the house. When she caught a glance of Mrs. Yang’s house, she began to worry again.

According to old Mrs. Yang, Mrs. Yang’s mother missed her a lot, and she kept nagging for her to go home. Hence, Mrs. Yang brought Brother Yang and the four children to visit her mother.

But it had been almost six months and they had yet to return. She wondered how the family was doing.

Just as she was about to enter, a carriage drove over from afar. Xiaoguo stopped and looked at the person in the carriage. It was Brother Yang, who had been away for a long time.

Feeling delighted, Xiaoguo waved at him.

When Yang Feng saw this, he couldn’t help but smile. Then, he turned around and said something to someone in the carriage.

The carriage was a distance away, so she couldn’t hear what Yang Feng was saying. Once he finished talking, Mrs Yang eagerly lifted the curtain and looked out.

“Xiaoguo…”

Mrs Yang’s voice was a little hoarse. When Xiaoguo heard it, her heart tightened.

Before the carriage could stop, Mrs Yang got out of the carriage eagerly. After not seeing each other for so long, the two of them had a lot to catch up on.

Her sudden movement startled Xiaoguo. She quickly took a few steps forward to help her alight from the car.

After regaining her balance, the excited Mrs. Yang didn’t know where to start. Suddenly, her smile froze as she looked at Xiaoguo’s stomach in disbelief. “You, you, you…”

“It’s been five months.” Xiaoguo smiled sheepishly. “I thought I will only see you again after the baby is born.”

Yang Feng stopped the carriage and looked at her stomach with the same expression as Mrs. Yang. He was clearly surprised and shocked.

That wasn’t all. Xiaohu and Xiaohua, who were carrying the twins, also heard her voice in the car. They stuck their heads out with smiley faces. However, when they saw her stomach, their eyes widened in curiosity. Why did she look like their mother after not seeing her for a while?

Xiaoguo scratched her head in embarrassment. She also felt that the child had come too suddenly.

“I don’t think I’ve been away for that long. Why is your stomach so big?” Mrs Yang was feeling dazed for a moment. It felt as if she had gone to another country instead of her maiden home.

“We’ll talk about this later.” Xiaoguo could see the fatigue on their faces. “Go home and rest first. I’ll visit you later.”

When Mrs Yang heard her words, tears welled up in her eyes. She nodded with difficulty. “It’s inconvenient for you to move around. I’ll come look for you after I’ve rested.”

Feeling worried, Xiaoguo only nodded in silence..
