In Chengjia Village, in the cave of Old Man Cheng’s house.

At midnight, Li Jinhe woke up from her dream and found her body wet.

She hurriedly pushed her husband who was sleeping beside her.

"Husband, my water broke."

Although she had given birth once before, this was the first time she gave birth in this body.

Moreover, due to the flood disaster, we were trapped in this cave during this period. We were short of food, frightened and suffered from severe malnutrition.

In addition, the medical conditions here are backward, there are no obstetricians and gynecologists, let alone hospitals, so she really feels unsure.

Cheng Zeli, who was lying next to her, rolled off the bed.

He rushed out with a whoosh.

A clanging sound was heard in the dark cave, and a large number of tables and chairs fell over.

Fortunately, the pots and bowls are not placed here, otherwise I would have to eat rice with my hands tomorrow.

"Mom, mom, wake up quickly, He'er is about to give birth."

He actually rushed directly to his parents' bedside and woke Zhang up.

Without waiting for Zhang to react, he ran back.

I wanted to hug my wife, but I was afraid of hurting her, so I could only touch the top of her head and hold her hand.

“Puff….”

It was rare for Li to see him like this, and she couldn't help but laugh.

My husband used to be a man who could remain calm even when faced with a catastrophe. Why is he so panicked now?

"Don't be afraid, He'er. I'm with you."

Her husband's words were like a gentle breeze, blowing away the tension and anxiety lingering in her heart.

Because of the noise made by Cheng Zeli, the people in the cave woke up one after another.

Zhang asked Old Man Cheng to light the kerosene lamp while she told her eldest daughter-in-law Liu Meihua and second daughter-in-law Wang Yingniang to

"Meihua, go and boil some water and sterilize the scissors with it."

"Ying Niang, go make a bowl of brown sugar water first, and remember to put six eggs in it."

"Boss! Boss! Go and ask your eldest and second aunts to come over and help."

"Second brother, go and invite your aunt Li over."

Everyone followed Zhang's arrangements and got to work as if they were familiar with the process.

Zhang came to the bedside and told Cheng Zeli to pick up Li, and then quickly changed the bed sheets.

"Don't be afraid. The baby won't be born so quickly. It will take several hours just for the cervix to open."

"I've asked your eldest brother to invite your two aunts over. Your second aunt is a famous midwife in the area. You can relax with her around."

Li's parents, Zhou, and Master Li and his wife, who lived in the cave next door, arrived first.

Since moving to the cave, Cheng Zeli was required not to neglect his studies. Except for sleeping, he spent the rest of his time studying in his father-in-law's cave with his brother-in-law Li Junshan and the clan leader's grandson Cheng Bingwen.

Zhou loved her daughter dearly, so after finishing her housework every day, she would bring her sewing box and help her daughter make clothes for the baby.

As her daughter's delivery date was approaching, she had been worried and unable to sleep for several nights.

I had just fallen asleep tonight when I heard Cheng Laoer calling me. I quickly woke up my husband and came over.

When Li's mother arrived, she stayed by her daughter's bed with a distressed look on her face.

After a while, Zhang's sisters-in-law Xie and Zheng also rushed over, and Cheng Dafu and Cheng Erfu followed because they were worried.

The women went into the cave to help, while the men followed Master Li's advice and took the children to his cave to wait.

Cheng Zeli insisted on staying with his wife and couldn't be driven away, so Zhang let him go.

Li's uterus began to contract, and it felt like an invisible hand was gently pushing her in her belly. As the contractions became stronger and stronger, she began to feel pain, which became more and more severe until she could no longer bear it, and beads of sweat rolled down her forehead.

Cheng Zeli looked at his wife with eyes full of pity. He was so nervous that he couldn't breathe. His palms were sweaty. Seeing that she was in pain, he looked at Zheng anxiously.

"Second aunt, please take a quick look, is He'er about to give birth?"

Zheng lifted the quilt to examine Li and said to her in a gentle voice:

"Don't worry, it's only three fingers dilated. Eat something first to maintain your strength."

After that, he looked at Zhang and asked, "Aunt, have you prepared anything to eat?"

Before Zhang could answer, Wang Yingniang brought over a bowl of brown sugar eggs.

"Second Aunt, my mother asked me to boil some brown sugar eggs a long time ago. They are almost ready."

When Mrs. Xie saw it, she was surprised to find that there were only six eggs. The grain jar at home was almost empty. The third brother's family was really willing to give them away.

But think about it, Zhang has never been a stingy person, so it is understandable.

Zhou took the sugar-water egg, blew on it gently, and fed it to her daughter.

Three months ago, this bowl of brown sugar water was worth nothing, but under the current circumstances, it is extremely precious.

My mother-in-law is an easy person to get along with, and the two daughters-in-law of Old Cheng's family are also good. I was originally worried that my daughter, who had been spoiled since childhood, would be wronged after marrying into the family, but now it seems that she was worrying too much.

The uterus will not open completely until the hour of Mao.

Li was in excruciating pain. She clenched her teeth tightly in the heart-wrenching pain. Her mouth was filled with the taste of rust. Her wet hair stuck to her forehead. Her eyebrows were twisted into a ball. Her eyes almost bulged out of their sockets. Her nostrils were flaring. She was gasping for breath. Her hands were tightly grasping the bed sheets that had long been soaked with sweat. Veins bulged on her arms.

"Keep pushing, you've reached the end, hurry up, push harder!"

Finally, when she was screaming at the top of her lungs, she felt something slipping out of her stomach and heard the loud cry of a baby.

After the child was born, Li felt a great sense of relief and satisfaction, but also felt extremely tired and weak.

Without even having the chance to take a look at the child, she fell asleep from exhaustion.

"Ah, it's a baby girl!" Suddenly, Zheng screamed like a groundhog. The surprised sound drowned out the baby's crying and reached the ears of the people who were anxiously waiting outside the cave.

"What? Did I hear it wrong? It's a girl."

Cheng Sanfu's body stiffened. He looked at his elder and second brothers in disbelief, the light in his eyes frighteningly bright.

He just heard his second sister-in-law say that it was a girl. Did he hear it right?

Cheng Dafu also looked at them in disbelief, his lips trembling slightly. He rubbed his ears and said cautiously, "The third child gave birth to a girl... a girl?"

"You heard it right, it's a girl." Cheng Erfu came back to his senses and said excitedly. He just heard it clearly. It was his old wife who said it.

"Okay, okay, okay, my Cheng family has a girl, a girl..." Cheng Dafu cried and laughed like a madman.

It’s true, the Cheng family has a baby girl.

The three old men couldn't help but hugged each other and cried, all immersed in the joy of the Cheng family having a baby girl.

When Cheng Lao Da and his companions heard the good news, they were all so excited that they shouted and jumped in the cave.

It’s no wonder that they reacted so strongly, it’s because no girl has been born in their Cheng family for a hundred years.

At this time, the door curtain was lifted from the inside, and Zhang came out of the cave happily holding the child.

Seeing several people crying and holding their heads in their hands, the smiles on their faces froze.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Hurry, let me see my darling grandson." Old man Cheng wiped his tears and rushed over.

Everyone came forward and crowded together, looking eagerly at the tiny baby wrapped in the swaddling clothes.

"Why are you in such a hurry? I haven't hugged you enough. Oh, come and look at my little darling. He is so handsome."

Unlike other babies who are born red and wrinkled.

The little guy's skin is white, rosy, smooth and soft.

The eyebrows are thin and curved, like two crescent moons embedded in the face.

The eyelashes are like the two wings of a butterfly, thick and long.

The delicate little nose trembled slightly with her breathing.

The little mouth pouts like a plump cherry.

The group of people couldn't bear to look away, and Old Man Cheng was so excited that his eyes were red and his hands were shaking.

"Old lady, let me hug her."

Seeing him like this, Zhang couldn't bear to occupy her granddaughter any longer.

Old man Cheng clumsily but gently held the baby in his arms, looking at his granddaughter with infatuation, cherishing her so much, as this was his little darling, his lifeblood.

"My dear, open your eyes and look, I am your grandpa."

"My dear, I am your great grandfather."

"My dear, I am your second grandfather."

Cheng Dafu and Cheng Erfu also came over with eager eyes.

The three of them leaned their heads against each other and looked at the little baby in the cradle with doting eyes.

"Dad, uncle, second uncle, you have already seen the good girl, please make way, I want to hug my little niece too."

"And me, I want to hug my sweet baby too."

"Grandpa, there's still me. Can you let me hold my sister? I'm grown up now and I'm strong. I definitely won't let her fall."

...........

Boss Cheng and the others tried to squeeze in for a long time but couldn't. They felt itchy in their hearts and urged in dissatisfaction.

The three old men turned their heads at the same time: "Get lost!"

There are bad boys everywhere, it's depressing to see them.

Then I looked down at my little granddaughter and felt very happy.

Cheng Xingwan felt very noisy in his sleep. He slowly opened his eyes and only vaguely saw a large number of figures swaying.

"My sister's eyes are so beautiful, like the stars in the sky, shining brightly."

Cheng Jinwu, a smart little boy, took advantage of the gap and went in. When he looked up, he saw his sister who had just woken up.

Old Man Cheng and Mrs. Zhang have five sons in total.

They are the eldest brother Cheng Zezhong, the second brother Cheng Zeyi, the third brother Cheng Zeli, the fourth brother Cheng Zezhi, and the fifth brother Cheng Zexin.

Cheng Zezhong is married to Liu Meihua and has four sons: six-year-old twins Cheng Jinwen and Cheng Jinwu, four-year-old Cheng Jinheng, and two-year-old Cheng Jinchen.

Cheng Zeyi is married to Wang Yingniang and has three sons: five-year-old Cheng Jinhao and three-year-old twins Cheng Jinmao and Cheng Jinsheng.

Cheng Zeli married Li Jinhe and now has only this one child.

The fourth child, Cheng Zezhi, and the fifth child, Cheng Zexin, are fourteen and twelve years old respectively, and have not yet been arranged to get married.

"My dear, wake up. Are you hungry?"

"Meihua, go make some rice soup and feed it to Guaibao first."

Liu responded, reluctantly let go of her niece's hand and went to the kitchen to cook porridge.

Cheng Xingwan realized that she had traveled through time and space. The voices sounded like the family she had seen before, which meant that she was her parents' daughter again in this life.

That’s great! She squinted her eyes and grinned sweetly.

In an instant, the thunder disappeared, the wind calmed down, the waves became still, and the heavy rain that had been falling for nearly three months stopped.

The inky sky was torn apart, and the long-lost sun slowly rose on the top of the mountain in the east.

The golden light spread all over the earth, and a new chapter began between heaven and earth.

Everyone present stared at this strange phenomenon in heaven and earth in amazement, and tacitly thought of the letter from Taoist Xuanqing.
