When the troops arrived, it was already November 14th. Zhao Huanhuan had already given birth and been discharged from the hospital to go home. The troops then went to the village to visit her.

Zhao Huanhuan gave birth to a boy at 4:30 pm on November 4th.

The baby weighed 6.5 pounds at birth.

Zhao Huanhuan started experiencing abdominal pain in the morning, and her water broke. She was in pain for more than eight hours before finally giving birth to her child smoothly.

After giving birth, Zhao Huanhuan stopped caring about anything and just slept and rested, leaving everything to her mother and mother-in-law.

The three elders all asked Zhao Huanhuan to name the child.

Zhao Huanhuan said that she and Lin Yuan had discussed it and decided that the nickname would be An'an and the formal name would be Lin Yong'an.

Lin Yuan's cousin's child is in the Yong generation, and Lin Yuan and Zhao Huanhuan also used the character Yong when discussing the child's name.

They named the boy Yong'an and the girl Yongning, with the nickname Ningning.

If it's a boy, then he'll be named Yong'an.

Wen Yan and Qiu Yi came to see Zhao Huanhuan and were very envious of her.

Uncle Lin bought several chickens from the brigade to make chicken soup for Huanhuan to nourish her body, and she ate chicken noodle soup almost every day.

Seeing how well her in-laws treated Huanhuan, Zhang Jinhua felt reassured. She washed the baby's diapers and took care of the baby every day, diligently serving Huanhuan during her postpartum period.

Zhao Fugui took leave on the 20th to visit Huanhuan, hugged his grandson, stayed one night, and then hurried back home.

Many people came to visit Zhao Huanhuan during her postpartum period, bringing her a lot of eggs and brown sugar noodles.

People praised Zhao Huanhuan as a lucky girl, as she gave birth to a son for the Lin family in her first pregnancy.

The Lin couple smiled and didn't say anything. They had long planned for the young couple to have only one child; having more would only be a burden.

Having one child is so much less stressful. Like them, once their child grows up, they have no burden or pressure left.

Wenyan gave birth at the health center ten days after Zhao Huanhuan gave birth.

Her mother and mother-in-law also came to take care of her. Like Zhao Huanhuan, Wenyan also gave birth to a boy.

Six catties and one tael.

Qiu Yi was overjoyed and left most of the school affairs to Tao Shize to manage, while he ran around buying things for his mother and mother-in-law and taking good care of his wife and son.

Fortunately, no new educated youth came this year, and two more left. Fang Mei also got married, so there were plenty of empty houses. Her own mother and mother-in-law each lived in a room.

Time passed as the two families cared for Zhao Huanhuan and Wen Yan during their postpartum period, and the year drew to a close.

After Zhao Huanhuan's one-month celebration, Zhang Jinhua returned to Yuancheng to prepare for her arrival, inviting her to come and stay with her child for a few days on the second day of the Lunar New Year.

Zhao Huanhuan agreed.

When her baby turned one month old, Zhao Huanhuan discovered that the baby seemed to be very strong. At one month old, the baby could roll over and lift his head.

It seemed a bit unbelievable, but when Zhao Huanhuan thought about her own incredible strength, she felt it made sense; the child probably inherited it from her.

Aunt Chu and Uncle Lin were also amazed. They guessed that their grandson might have inherited Huanhuan's innate superhuman strength.

Sure enough, on the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, two months after her birth, An'an woke up and saw that her mother was ignoring her, so she picked up her little pillow and threw it at Zhao Huanhuan's face.

Zhao Huanhuan originally wanted to see how the child would react when he realized she was ignoring him, but unexpectedly, he picked up his pillow to let her know he was awake.

Fortunately, he was being held down by a specially made super-heavy pillow, which was designed to keep him in place; otherwise, he probably would have rolled over to his side on his own.

But Zhao Huanhuan knew that the pillow wouldn't hold him down for long; at most, the child's strength would increase again in a hundred days.

With such a strong child, Zhao Huanhuan prepared two ropes to tie the baby to the kang (a heated brick bed). When her mother-in-law was not around, she would tie up An'an after she fell asleep before daring to run out to the toilet.

An An's appearance is becoming more and more like hers; her face shape is like hers, her eyes are like hers, only her mouth is like Lin Yuan's, and she has a masculine look.

Sometimes when Zhao Huanhuan looks at her child, she feels like hugging and kissing him, and other times when she sees him throwing things around, she feels like spanking him. He's a good kid, but he's a bit of a handful for his mom!

Originally, Zhao Huanhuan had gained 20 pounds after giving birth, thanks to being fed. However, she unexpectedly lost 15 pounds in just one month after her confinement period.

Lin Yuan returned on the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month.

While still standing outside the door, Lin Yuan could hear the baby crying inside. He didn't dare to go in directly and went back to his parents' house first, so as not to bring the cold air into the house and make the baby feel cold.

When he finished training, he received a letter from Zhao Huanhuan, informing him that she was doing well after giving birth, which put his mind at ease.

He also learned that the army had sent people to visit Huanhuan, and he was very happy and touched, and he thanked the instructor.

When Aunt Chu saw her son return, she quickly heated up some food for him and told him to eat before going over, so he could warm up a bit.

Lin Yuan agreed and asked her father to put the things she brought back out.

He then bought five more bags of goat milk powder.

Zhao Huanhuan instructed him in her letter to buy it when he returned.

Wenyan's child doesn't have breast milk, so her baby drinks goat milk powder. She took all five bags of it from Zhao Huanhuan's house back to Qiu Yi.

When Lin Yuan returned to the house after warming up, Zhao Huanhuan had already washed her son and was feeding An'an and coaxing him to sleep.

This is also why she let the child stay up a little later when she heard that Lin Yuan had returned.

Lin Yuan came in and tiptoed to the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) to peek at the child.

Seeing the little guy's big eyes darting around, he smiled and then leaned over to kiss Zhao Huanhuan.

Zhao Huanhuan smiled and stopped breastfeeding An'an. She picked her up and patted her until the baby burped. Then she handed An'an to Lin Yuan, saying, "Hold her and see if she cries!"
