Ye Xiaofan and Zhang Qingshan returned from their hometown and spent all the money they had saved up last year, finally getting their marriage certificate as they had hoped.
The two of them came together to give He Tiantian wedding candy!
If it weren't for He Tiantian's intervention that time, Ye Xiaofan might have been ruined, and he wouldn't be living such a good life now! So they are extremely grateful to He Tiantian.
"We're a bit strapped for cash, so we won't go through the formalities. Getting the marriage certificate is enough for us," Ye Xiaofan said. "These are our wedding candies, thank you."
He Tiantian accepted the wedding candy and said, "You two are a couple who have finally become husband and wife. As long as you love each other and live peacefully, that's better than anything else."
"Yes." Ye Xiaofan said with a blush, "Qingshan said the same thing. We should work hard in Qijia Village and not go back for the New Year anymore. We should save more money to give our children a better life in the future."
"By the way, has Sister Wu given birth yet?" He Tiantian asked. "Judging by the dates, it should be around this time."
"My stomach hurt yesterday, so I asked Wang Shuilian to come and take a look. She said it would take a few more days," Ye Xiaofan said, envying Sister Wu and Wang Lei. If they had gotten married last year, they might have had a baby too.
He Tiantian smiled and said, "That's great. Since you're away from home and your parents aren't around, you can ask my mom and grandma if you don't understand anything."
"Okay," Ye Xiaofan said. She would help take care of Sister Wu when she gave birth, and she would also help Sister Wu when she got pregnant.
When you're away from home, helping each other is essential to getting through tough times.
Inside the house, Zhang Qingshan and He Jingyu were drinking tea and chatting.
Zhang Qingshan is now also learning fruit tree cultivation from He Jingyu. Because of his higher level of education, he has learned more than the other villagers.
He Jingyu also values Zhang Qingshan, and talked about his plans for this year.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye. One night, Zhang Qingshan came over to ask Wang Shuping to come and help, because Sister Wu had given birth.
Wang Lei went to see Wang Shuilian, who was not only a doctor but also a midwife known far and wide.
Ye Xiaofan stayed inside to look after Sister Wu, while Huang Jingli helped boil water in the kitchen.
Since Lin Xiaoru went to the county town, Huang Jingli's life has been relatively peaceful, and her relationship with Sister Wu and Ye Xiaofan has improved.
Now that Sister Wu is giving birth, she is in so much pain that she keeps screaming. Huang Jingli can't sleep in the room either, so she comes out to help.
When Wang Shuping and He Tiantian arrived, Sister Wu was already covered in sweat and her face was contorted with pain.
He Tiantian has never given birth, but you can tell from Sister Wu's expression that she was in a lot of pain.
"Xiao Wu, don't shout so loudly, you won't have the strength to give birth later," Wang Shuping said. "Take a deep breath... exhale, inhale..."
Wang Shuping and Jiang Liping have a good relationship. Wang Shuping has also had children before and knows what to pay attention to. She first helped Jiang Liping adjust her breathing.
Wang Shuping is He Tiantian's mother, so these educated youths felt very close to her.
When Sister Wu saw Wang Shuping, she was no longer as fearful as before. She slowly adjusted her breathing and indeed felt less pain.
"Thank you, Aunt Wang," Sister Wu said softly, her eyes filled with tears.
They were far from home, with no relatives by their side, but fortunately, there were so many kind people around to help them.
"Silly child, don't be so polite," Wang Shuping said. "Be brave. There are so many people here, so don't worry."
A short while later, Wang Lei brought Wang Shuilian over from Hujia Village.
Wang Shuilian paused slightly when she saw He Tiantian and Wang Shuping, but then, thinking that the pregnant woman was about to give birth, she didn't think much of it.
The affair between my cousin and He Tiantian isn't really He Tiantian's fault; it's all because my cousin is useless.
Despite knowing this, Wang Shuilian couldn't help but feel sorry for her cousin whose life was ruined, so she had some disagreements with He Tiantian.
Wang Shuilian first took Wu Jie's pulse, then chased the man out, lifted the blanket off Wu Jie, checked her cervix, and said, "Don't rush, we still have some time to wait."
After saying that, he touched Sister Wu's belly. The baby was in the right position, so the delivery should be easy.
Two hours passed before Wang Shuilian checked and, seeing that it was almost done, said to Sister Wu, who was trying not to cry out, "Alright, now you can push."
At this moment, Wang Shuping kicked He Tiantian and Ye Xiaofan out, leaving only Wang Shuilian and Wang Shuping in the room.
About half an hour later, Wang Lei heard a baby crying from inside the house. He rushed in and found out that a baby had been born.
Wang Shuilian helped clean it up and removed the placenta.
Wang Lei thanked Wang Shuilian repeatedly, gave her two yuan and ten freshly boiled eggs, and said, "Thank you very much, Qingshan, please see Dr. Wang off for me."
This was the price Wang Lei had inquired about with the people of Qijia Village beforehand. He planned to invite Wang Shuilian over for a feast when the child turned one month old.
"Okay." Zhang Qingshan escorted Wang Shuilian back.
Although there was still a lingering smell of blood in the house, everyone was happy that the mother and child were safe.
Wang Shuping explained some details and told Wang Lei what he should pay attention to before leaving with her daughter He Tiantian.
Wang Shuping used fine cotton cloth and new cotton from her home to make two floral cotton-padded clothes for the child and sent them over, just in time to replace the little cotton-padded clothes that Sister Wu had made from old clothes.
Wang Lei was well-liked in the village, and as a high school student, he helped the young people in the village with literacy education. As a result, when he had a son, many people brought him eggs, grain, or some cloth, so Sister Wu ate well during her postpartum period and recovered well.
The little guy's name is Wang Bin, and he's a strong and healthy boy.
Before we knew it, it was February 2nd, the day the dragon raises its head.
As usual, Grandma Qi fried a lot of salted beans and candied beans.
He Tiantian thought that the Snake King had absorbed energy from heaven and earth on this day last year, and perhaps he would do the same today.
If you do the math, He Tiantian hasn't seen the Snake King for two months.
Previously, the Snake King was arrogant and had a bad temper, which sometimes annoyed He Tiantian. But now that the Snake King hasn't appeared for so long, He Tiantian misses him very much.
So, He Tiantian went to the cave in the back mountain that night.
This barrier could block everyone except He Tiantian, so He Tiantian was able to get inside smoothly.
Six hunting rifles lay scattered on the ground. He Tiantian threw these shady items into a corner.
He Tiantian searched everywhere for the Snake King, but could not find any trace of him.
That night, she was too weak to tidy up the place. Now that she hadn't seen the Snake King, He Tiantian began cleaning the cave.
They cleaned up all the scattered stones and dirt on the ground.
It took two full hours to restore the cave to its previous clean state.
He Tiantian glanced at her watch; it was almost midnight, and there was still no sign of the Snake King.
Although I was a little worried, considering how powerful the Snake King was, and that it should be at the top of the food chain here, I believed that the Snake King would be alright. (To be continued.)
