As the Spring Festival draws closer, the festive atmosphere becomes stronger and everyone becomes busier.

In the blink of an eye, it was New Year’s Eve, the last day of 1967.

After lunch, everyone got busy. Guo Jianjun boiled water, Guo Jianping killed a chicken, Guo Yu went to the well to wash vegetables, Guo Youxing put up Spring Festival couplets, and Liang Xueying took care of the children.

Deng Qingling is lying at home like Ge You. She is pregnant and they don’t dare let her take care of the baby.

Because Haohao is like a little calf.

No, it was probably more noisy than a cow and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

This year's New Year's Eve dinner was eaten later than last year, and was not served until around 6:30.

The New Year’s Eve dinner must be sumptuous, with a plate of boiled chicken, a plate of tofu with green onions, a plate of fried bacon with garlic sprouts, a pot of steamed eggs, and a chicken bone soup.

These dishes all taste good, especially the fried bacon with garlic sprouts, which is so delicious that I can eat two more bowls of rice.

Everyone ate with their mouths full of oil and was very satisfied.

There wasn't much food left, only the tofu was left, but all the other dishes were finished.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, Guo Yu went to wash the dishes, Guo Jianjun wiped the table, Liang Xueying held Haohao in her arms, and Guo Jianping helped Deng Qingling take a walk in the yard to help digest the food. Walking more in the late pregnancy is beneficial for delivery.

Deng Qingling did not stay up all night this year. She chatted with everyone about family matters. Around nine o'clock, she went back to her room to rest.

As for Haohao, after Deng Qingling was one month older, he slept with his grandparents. Liang Xueying had already taken him back to his room to sleep.

Deng Qingling slept in a daze the whole night and didn't even know when Guo Jianping returned to his room.

…………

New Year's Day.

When Deng Qingling got up in the morning, she felt her stomach was tight, but it didn't hurt, so she didn't pay much attention to it.

As usual, she went back to her room to lie down after breakfast, while Guo Jianping and Guo Youxing went to the village to pay New Year's greetings.

Guo Jianjun and Guo Yu were eating melon seeds and chatting in the main room. Haohao couldn't stay at home, so he pulled Liang Xueying out to play.

Not long after they left the house, Deng Qingling felt her stomach getting tighter and tighter, and she felt very uncomfortable. She didn't care that today was New Year's Day.

He quickly called out to the two people in the main room, "Ajun, Ayu."

"What's wrong? What's wrong with sister-in-law?" Guo Jianjun and the other man ran into the house and asked.

"My stomach doesn't feel good. Ajun, go call your brother back. I might be giving birth soon." Deng Qingling covered her stomach, feeling waves of pain.

"Okay, I'll go right away." After saying that, Guo Jianjun ran out.

Deng Qingling asked Guo Yu to pack her clothes and things, and the children's clothes had already been prepared.

After Guo Jianjun ran out quickly, he asked everyone he met if they had seen his brother and father. Some said they saw them go to his uncle's house.

When Guo Jianjun ran to his uncle's house, they were drinking tea and chatting.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong at home?" Guo Youxing saw his youngest son running out of breath, so he quickly stood up and asked.

You have to know that my daughter-in-law is pregnant with twins and is said to be in premature labor, so she might give birth at any time.

"My sister-in-law is about to give birth." Guo Jianjun just finished speaking.

Guo Jianping ran back in a hurry.

"Brother, let's talk again when we have time." After saying that, Guo Youxing took Guo Jianjun to drive the ox cart.

When Guo Youxing drove the ox cart back, everyone was already waiting at the door. Guo Jianping was supporting Deng Qingling, Liang Xueying was holding things, and Guo Yu was holding Haohao.

As soon as the ox cart stopped, Liang Xueying spread the old quilt on it and said to Guo Jianping, "Hurry and carry Ah Qing up!"

Upon hearing this, Guo Jianping immediately picked up Deng Qingling and put her on the ox cart, then climbed on himself.

"Ayu and Ajun, you stay at home and look after Haohao." Liang Xueying said.

"Is the money ready? Okay, let's go." Guo Youxing asked.

"I've brought the money, Dad, please drive the ox cart!" Guo Jianping said as he asked Deng Qingling to lean on him to help steady the cart when the road was bumpy.

"Okay, go." Guo Youxing nodded, and the whip hit the cow's butt. The cow ran away very fast in pain.

Liang Xueying was having a hard time sitting, let alone Deng Qingling, who was pregnant. The bumpy ride made Deng Qingling feel even more pain, and she broke out in cold sweats.

"Brother Xing, drive the ox cart more steadily." No matter how urgent it is, we can't rush like this!

"good."

Deng Qingling didn't say a word the whole way because it was so painful.

She finally made it to the clinic, and she was in so much pain that she could only move slowly.

Seeing how much pain she was in, Guo Jianping picked her up and carried her inside. "Doctor, doctor, come and take a look. My wife is about to give birth."

"Follow me quickly." The doctor said and led them into the ward.

Guo Jianping had just put Deng Qingling on the bed when the doctor rushed out. "Family members, please leave first."

"Take off your pants. Is this your first or second child?" the doctor said as he put on latex gloves.

"This is my second pregnancy, and it's twins." Deng Qingling was so numb from the pain that she didn't even feel the doctor reaching in. She only caught a glimpse of blood on the doctor's gloves.

"No wonder your belly is so big. It's five fingers dilated. Come with me to the delivery room!" After the doctor said that, he took Deng Qingling to the delivery room.

Deng Qingling was lying on the delivery bed waiting. The doctor told her to tell him if she wanted to poop, and not to hold it in. Sometimes what she pooped might not be poop but a baby. The doctor told her to call him when the pain became unbearable.

"It's been so long since I went in, why is there no sound at all?" Guo Jianping paced back and forth at the door anxiously.

"Don't worry, it will probably be soon. Having a second child will be faster." In fact, Liang Xueying was also anxious, after all, having twins is very risky.

Time passed so slowly for Deng Qingling. It took about an hour before she felt pain in her lower body.

The doctor told her to hold it in, take it slow, not to rush, and to adjust her breathing.

Deng Qingling was about to cry in pain and growled, "I can't help it!"

With Deng Qingling's efforts, the baby left his most expensive house and was pulled out by his mother and came into this world.

With the birth of the baby, Deng Qingling felt a lot more relaxed.

The baby was slapped by the doctor before he even opened his eyes.

Ah, wow, wow.

The baby cried loudly in pain.

Deng Qingling had just rested for a while when her lower body started to hurt again.

"Comrade, push harder! I can see the baby's head. Come on!"
