"Aunt, please accept it. If you don't, we will feel embarrassed to trouble you and Uncle Xing when we have problems in the future," Chen Xiaomin said with a smile.

Liang Xueying looked at the pretty girl in front of her. She was so pretty. She thought the team would become lively in the future.

"Auntie, just take it. If you don't take it, we will feel embarrassed to eat this meal." Chen Chen saw them pushing the food around and said a few words of advice. As soon as he finished speaking, his stomach rumbled.

"Hey, I'm hungry," Chen Chen said a little embarrassedly, touching his stomach.

"Okay, okay, I'll accept it. Let's eat first." Liang Xueying couldn't refuse after hearing what he said. She would just help them more in the future.

Liang Xueying gave each of the four people two large sweet potatoes and a bowl of corn and grain rice. The dishes were scrambled eggs with leeks, stir-fried sauerkraut with chili peppers, cold-mixed bitter melon, and a bowl of bitter melon and egg soup.

It was clearly just an ordinary home-cooked meal, a dish that I never even looked at before, but now I felt it was particularly delicious.

Maybe I was too hungry, or maybe it was because it was cooked so well.

"Auntie, the food you cook is so delicious." Chen Chen touched his round belly.

"As long as you like the food, come to my house for dinner when you are free. Auntie welcomes you anytime." Liang Xueying was delighted by his coaxing.

"Okay, we'll come often when we have time." That's true, but who can come often? No one is rich.

"Let's go, I'll take you around." Guo Youxing was afraid that it would get dark if they continued chatting.

"Well, Auntie, let's talk another day. We're leaving first."

"Well, let's talk about it another day." Liang Xueying watched them leave and then cleaned up the dishes.

"Brother Xing, you are here. These are the educated youth, right?" Accountant Guo Lugou looked at the group of educated youth with a smile.

"I brought them here to get some food. This is our brigade's accountant, Guo Lugou. You can just call him Uncle Lugou." Guo Youxing introduced the accountant to the educated youth.

"Hello, Uncle Lu Gou"

"Okay, work hard in the future. In our village, as long as you are willing to work, you can have enough to eat." Guo Lugou looked at these people, especially Chen Zhiqing, who was tall and strong, and it was obvious that he was a good worker. It was hard to say about the others. They would have to be taught more in the future.

"I'll trouble Uncle Xing and Uncle Lu Gou to take good care of us in the future. If we do anything wrong, feel free to teach us a lesson." Lu Xin took out the cigarettes from his pocket and handed them to them.

"Uncle, you can keep these for smoking. I don't smoke." Lu Xin put the whole box of cigarettes on the table.

"Thank you for your kindness," Guo Lugou said after looking at Guo Youxing.

Then Guo Lugou gave them the packed food.

"Uncle, let's go back first," said Lu Xin.

Guo Lugou and Guo Youxing nodded.

The four of them carried food back to Grandma Liang's house.

For a short period of time, the four of them cooked at Grandma Liang's house.

...The days passed by.

That day, Deng Qingling was washing the clothes she had made for her baby in the yard so that she would have more clothes to change into when the baby in her belly was born.

I had just hung up the clothes and sat down for a few minutes when suddenly there was a "pop" sound.

When a warm liquid flowed out of her lower body, Deng Qingling knew she was about to give birth and shouted for help.

She called her sister-in-law, who was doing her homework in the room, to her side. "Ayu, I might be about to give birth. Go to the field and call mom and dad back."

Guo Yu agreed and ran as fast as he could to where Guo Youxing and the others were working, shouting loudly, "Dad, Mom, my sister-in-law is about to give birth."

When Liang Xueying heard her daughter's cry, she made arrangements in an orderly manner, "Ajun, you go and ask the midwife, Amei, go and ask Dr. Zhou to be on the safe side. I'll go back and boil some water. Brother Xing, you go to the team leader and ask for leave for us." They nodded and ran away separately.

Guo Youxing walked quickly towards the team leader. The team leader of Lixia Team was Guo Qunxing's cousin Guo Youqing. When Guo Youqing learned that his niece-in-law was about to give birth, he hurriedly called his wife and daughter-in-law to go and help.

Guo Youxing asked his nephews Guo Muyang and Guo Shuiyang to go to the cowshed to harness the cart, and if the delivery was not smooth, they should send the baby to the commune health center immediately.

Liang Xueying hurried home and ran to the eldest brother's room. Seeing her daughter-in-law lying on the bed, she hurriedly asked, "How is Ah Qing now?"

"Mom, my water has broken, I'm afraid the baby will be born soon."

Liang Xueying stepped forward, took Deng Qingling's hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, we've already asked the midwife, and my sister has asked Dr. Zhou. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Does your stomach hurt? If it doesn't hurt too much, I'll go make you some noodles."

Deng Qingling said, "A little bit, but I can still bear it."

"Then I'll go cook some noodles for you, please wait a moment," Liang Xueying said.

Soon, Guo Jianjun ran into the gate with the midwife on his back, sweating profusely. Guo Yu also ran in with the doctor from the team.

Liang Xueying brought the doctor and midwife into the room. Dr. Zhou walked up to feel Deng Qingling's pulse and comforted her, "It's okay. Both the mother and the fetus are doing well. The delivery should be easy."

The midwife also walked forward and touched Deng Qingling's belly, "The fetal position is very correct, mother and child are definitely safe, everyone don't worry. Aying, go and see if the water is ready, the delivery should be coming soon."

Liang Xueying was about to go out to the kitchen when her niece-in-law came in with a basin of hot water. The midwife took the hot water. "Everyone go out. Zhou Jing stays to help. Sister-in-law, you arrange to continue to boil water."

Without waiting for Liang Xueying to answer, Guo Yu took the initiative to step forward and said, "Mom, I'll go boil some water."

Liang Xueying looked at Guo Yu who was walking quickly towards the kitchen and smiled with relief. Her daughter had grown up and could help share the burden at the critical moment.

The delivery was proceeding in an orderly manner in the delivery room, and people outside were waiting anxiously, especially Guo Youxing, who was pacing around outside the door anxiously.

I hope everything goes well. My son is not at home and my daughter-in-law is giving birth, so I am afraid of any accidents.

The captain's wife, Guo Youxing's cousin, saw his anxious look and stepped forward to comfort him, "Ah Xing, don't worry. Didn't you ask someone to harness the ox cart? They'll be here soon. Don't worry, we're fully prepared."

Guo Youxing forced a smile at his cousin's wife, "Sister-in-law, I'm fine. Sorry to bother you."

My cousin's wife said unhappily: "Really? You are so polite to me. I am your sister-in-law, not someone else."

Guo Youxing nodded quickly, "Oh! What my sister-in-law said is right." He turned around and saw his two nephews driving a ox cart parked at the gate, and he felt a little more at ease.
