Chapter 345 Pregnant
Xie Li came to work exceptionally early today. After entering the government office and greeting his colleagues, he went to his own office.

He was a clerk in the Household Registration Office, which was in charge of household registers and taxation. Under the pretext of sorting, he found the household registration files of Xiangning County in a legitimate way.

After checking it out, Xie Li's brows relaxed from being tightly furrowed.

Without waiting for the end of his shift, Xie Li found an excuse to leave the yamen and took a carriage to a pharmacy in the city.

This shop, also known as Ji Sheng Pharmacy, is not located in a very good location and its storefront is not very big, so its business can only be described as mediocre.

Unlike other drugstores, which are crowded with people getting medicine in the morning, there is no one getting medicine in Jisheng Drugstore at this moment. The pharmacy boy is dozing off by the counter with his chin in his hand, and the shopkeeper in a plain robe is sitting behind the counter drinking tea.

Hearing someone entering the shop, the pharmacist stood up and went forward to greet him, "Sir, would you like to get medicine or see a doctor?"

Xie Li said: "Get the medicine. Three qian of Ziziphus jujuba seeds, one qian of Licorice root, two qian of Anemarrhena asphodeloides, two qian of Poria cocos, and two qian of Chuanxiong."

The medicine boy was just about to ask if there was no prescription? The pharmacy would not dispense medicine without a doctor's prescription.

The shopkeeper behind the counter looked up immediately upon hearing this. Seeing Xie Li, his eyes flashed and he spoke first, "Sir, what do you want to be treated? Why don't you move to the back hall and let me treat you properly?"

Having said that, he walked out of the counter and made a gesture of invitation.

The pharmacist was a little surprised to see the customer follow his boss to the back without saying a word, but he didn't think much about it. Doctor Huang was not there at the moment, and the boss could still take the patient's pulse.

The medicine boy yawned and continued to doze off leaning against the counter.

Later, Zhu Dan led Xie Li to a small room and closed the door. Then he turned around and looked at Xie Li, "How did you find this place?"

"There is news about the Five Treasures Secret Records."

Zhu Dan's face changed when he heard this, "Hurry up and tell me!"

Xie Li told about Xiangning County, "I just checked and found out that this Wujia Village was just a wasteland about 80 years ago. 80 years ago, after a clan settled in Xiangning County, this place became Wujia Village.

The place where the servants of the King of Yan disappeared last time, which we have been investigating, is Bingzhou. The Wu family that settled there also matches this. I can be sure that the Five Treasures Secret Records are in their hands!"

Zhu Dan was visibly excited. "So, if we find Wu Ping and others, we can find the Five Treasures Secret Records? Have you found out where they are now?"

Xie Li shook his head. “After Xiangning County filed the lawsuit, I heard that these people returned to Wujia Village, but I sent people to Wujia Village before and found no trace of them.

However, when Liu Baode is executed, they will definitely come to watch the execution."

Zhu Dan nodded immediately, "I will send a message back and ask my family to send someone quickly. On the day of execution, we must catch Wu Ping and his men! You don't have to worry about this matter. You should continue to hide and never reveal your identity!"

"I know, don't worry."

After the Lantern Festival, Song and Li Jihe moved directly into the city. They didn't live with their eldest son. It was much better for the young couple to live together. They lived in their own house not far away, so it was close whether they went to visit their granddaughter or their daughter.

Li Xiangli and Meng Dongsheng had moved to the city as early as the eighth day of the first lunar month. They had settled down after a few days. Knowing that their parents had moved into the city, Li Xiangli took Lianqiu out to buy groceries and then strolled over to see them.

As soon as she entered the room, Song saw the swing of Li Xiangli's hips as she walked, and she couldn't help but be delighted. She then pulled her daughter into the room and asked in private, "Did you have your period this month?"

Li Xiangli didn't understand why. "It should have come a few days ago, but it hasn't come yet. Maybe it's because I ate too much greasy food during the New Year. I was thinking of cooking more medicinal food to clear my stomach." Song said hurriedly, "You can't eat medicinal food randomly."

He also asked Lianqiu to go out and call a doctor.

"Mom, what happened to my elder sister?" Shi Liu, who was preparing to stay with his parents for two days before returning to the village, wondered.

Song laughed, "Nine out of ten, your elder sister is pregnant!"

Pomegranate:"."

Wait, my eldest sister got pregnant on the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month, and it’s only been a month. If she is really pregnant, wow, what kind of fertility constitution is this?
No, even if she is pregnant, it has only been thirty or forty days since the last menstrual period. Doesn't her mother have an ultrasound machine? How could she tell?
Even the ultrasound machine might not be able to tell, her mother has X-ray vision!

Song smiled secretly, "Your mother, I have very sharp eyes. If I say your elder sister is pregnant, then she is. If you don't believe me, wait and see what the doctor says."

Unlike Shi Liu's confusion, Li Xiangli believed it without a doubt. She didn't even wait for the doctor to come. She raised her hand and stroked her belly, her whole body emitting the radiance of motherhood.

She is going to be a mother——

Shi Liu saw it clearly. She twitched her lips at first, but finally she was happy for her elder sister. She knew that her elder sister wanted to be a mother very much.

The child of an eldest sister will definitely grow up surrounded by maternal love, which is a blessing.

Not long after, the doctor was called in. He felt the woman's pulse, hesitated at first, then felt it again and again carefully, and then said, "It seems to be a happy pulse, but it has not been so long, so we cannot be sure. Madam, why don't you ask the doctor to feel her pulse again after ten days? But you should also be careful these days."

Although she couldn't be sure, it was probably correct. After sending the doctor away, Shi Liu looked at Song with fascination in her eyes.

She only knew that some experienced women could tell whether a girl was a virgin, but she didn't expect that experienced women could also tell whether she was pregnant.

This experience is truly invincible.

Well, that means, in nine months, she will be an aunt!

Oh, Shi Liu was happy just thinking about it. She was already thinking about what gifts to give to her little niece for her third birthday, full moon, first birthday, etc.

Thinking of the big sister who was shrinking the board, Shi Liu wished he could hold her in his hands and rub her right now.

I don't know what the little girl thought of that made her smile like this. Song shook her head and looked at the eldest daughter, "You have to be careful these days. Don't be careless in the first three months. Make it clear to your son-in-law that you should not be impulsive when doing things that you shouldn't do--"

Li Xiangli blushed immediately and glanced at the pomegranate, "Mom, the pomegranate is still here!"

Song realized what was happening and quickly fell silent. She changed the subject and said, "Although I have Lianqiu, I am still worried. Why don't you talk to your son-in-law and ask him to move in with you? I will take care of you every day and I will feel more at ease!"

The pomegranate on the side lowered its head and complained in its heart: I am not a child. Even if I haven’t eaten pork, I have seen a pig run. I understand it even if you don’t say it!
When she heard that her mother wanted her elder sister to move in, she hurriedly said, "It's not convenient to move here and there. If my elder sister moves in, what about my brother-in-law? We can't live together, right? It's not convenient. Mother wants them to separate after only two months of marriage? You bring my elder sister in and let her worry about everything by herself. How can that work?"

Mother, if you are worried, I remember that Lianqiu Niang can deliver babies. She is familiar with matters related to pregnancy, so let Lianqiu Niang stay by my eldest sister's side and take care of her every day. As for the herbal medicine restaurant, Ma is gone, and Sixth Aunt and Aunt Quan are too busy to handle it, so we can just transfer another woman from the farm."

She thought that her eldest sister would need manpower after she gave birth to a child, so she prepared a room for her niece in advance.

After hearing her arrangement, Song thought it was a good idea. After all, it was close by, so she could just go over and check on it often.

A pregnancy lasts ten months, which is not a short process. The girl also has a mother-in-law, so it is not easy for her to take care of everything.
