After entering the main room, Wan Qiqi moved quietly, locked the door tightly, and slipped into the room in the dark.

Perhaps because there was one less person, the two little ones slept on the side, so Wan Qiqi could only sleep next to Chen Yongnian if she wanted to.

However, she got used to it and didn't resist it.

She lifted the covers and lay down, feeling a chill that made her instinctively shrink closer to Chen Yongnian.

She prepared herself mentally.

Anyway, he's her man, they've been married, so it's okay for them to squeeze in.

Unexpectedly, after getting close, Chen Yongnian suddenly turned over and pulled her into his arms.

Wan Qiqi was so frightened that she almost jumped out of bed, but Chen Yongnian restrained her and she could not escape.

"Thump, thump, thump..." She could almost hear her own heart pounding.

She didn't know if it was the alcohol making her dizzy, but she felt her cheeks burning.

Wan Qiqi tried to struggle again.

"Hmm... Wife... had a nightmare?" Chen Yongnian's voice was still a little hoarse, as if he was about to wake up.

Wan Qiqi quickly said, "It's alright, go to sleep!"

Perhaps it was because Chen Yongnian was used to listening to Wan Qiqi, but he fell asleep soon after.

But he didn't let go of Wan Qiqi's arm.

After a long while, Wan Qiqi finally calmed herself down.

A slight smirk played on her lips as she muttered under her breath, "You scoundrel, daring to sleep in my arms..."

But after saying that, she didn't pull Chen Yongnian's hand away. Instead, she found a comfortable position and fell asleep in Chen Yongnian's arms.

As the rooster crows, all things come back to life.

In Lianhua Village, there's a tradition of getting up early on the first day of the new year.

Therefore, as soon as the sky began to lighten, everyone got up to welcome the New Year.

Firecrackers didn't exist in this era, so firecrackers were used instead.

The first thing every household did upon waking was to burn bamboo in the yard, making the sound of firecrackers.

At the Chen family's residence, there was no sound of firecrackers, but rather a cacophony of voices.

Wan Qiqi, who goes to bed late, was very unhappy when she was woken up by the noise.

Just as he stepped outside, he heard Wang Zhi shouting to Chen Yongxing from the neighboring yard, "Go find a midwife quickly, your wife is about to give birth!"
