For this moment, Grandma Yao and the others had prepared the delivery room early on. Although they were a little surprised now, they were not completely panicked.
Zhou Yaozu picked up Sun Yiqing and rushed to the destination, while Grandma Yao began to instruct others to boil water.
At that time, Zhoujiawu was located in a remote area and there was not even a midwife. The lucky ones could wait for someone to come to them, while the unlucky ones had to give birth on their own. Child brides like Grandma Zhou received no sympathy, and all the children at that time were given birth on their own.
Unfortunately, as long as it's a girl...
Soon, Grandma Yao and Grandma Zhou brought the things into the room, and the others could not help for the time being, so they left Xiaoyue and Lan Yueyin outside to be on standby at any time, and then they returned to the Zhou family's living room.
"Hey, are you talking about a boy or a girl?" Zhou Guangzong suddenly spoke.
"Boy! Look at my grandson's pointed belly, it must be a boy!" Grandma Zhou said firmly. The older generation does have this saying: a round belly means a girl, and a pointed belly means a boy.
"A boy? I'll have to train him from a young age! Mr. Sun's surname is Li, right? What's a good name for him?"
"What era is this? This is not accurate. I think it's a girl!"
…
This child is the first new life that Zhoujiawu has welcomed since the end of the world. Everyone is looking forward to it and has even started discussing who will teach the child various knowledge in the future.
Lin Luo found it funny. When he brought Sun Yiqing back, Zhou Guangzong and the others had clear concerns in their eyes. It had only been over a month, and now they were thinking about what would happen in a few years.
Childbirth is not that quick, and since this is Sun Yiqing's first child, intermittent roars could still be heard until 8 o'clock in the evening.
"This is too long..." Hong Hu frowned and muttered to himself, "There won't be..."
As soon as he uttered these three words, he said "Pah, pah, pah" three times to himself, "No, no, it's definitely okay."
"Huzi, don't go. You're giving me a headache." Zhou Yaozu, after all, had two children, so he was a little calmer at times like this. "This child is very blessed. Everything will go smoothly for him."
I don't know whether this sentence is to comfort Hong Hu or to comfort myself.
Two more hours passed, and it was already 11:08 pm. No one in Zhoujiawu went to bed, and the hot water was boiled again and again. No matter how frugal you wanted to be, you couldn't save money at this time.
Finally, five minutes before twelve o'clock, a loud baby cry was heard, instantly waking up Zhou Mengjie and several other children who were still a little sleepy.
"It's born! It's born!" Wu Yan clapped her hands happily and immediately ran to the delivery room. "Grandma, how is it?"
Grandma Yao's joyful voice rang out, "It's all good, she's a very pretty little girl!"
"Wow! Then I have a younger sister!" Wu Yan and Zhou Mengjie said at the same time. They looked at each other and immediately laughed out loud.
Zhou Guangzong also nodded, "Girls are good too, girls are considerate!"
"Hahaha, I was just saying that's inaccurate. For a girl, how about calling her Zixuan? I heard it's the most popular name for little girls this year!"
"It's so unfashionable! If you shout it out on the street, nine out of ten girls will turn around. You have to give it a special name. What do you think of Li Baitian?"
Zhou Xiang's words were opposed by everyone, but the atmosphere was finally not as tense as before.
Since everyone was safe, Lin Luo and Yun Shu didn't stay here any longer and returned to their cabin in the cold wind.
—A new life? It’s a nice winter solstice.
The next day, everyone saw the little girl who was described by Grandma Yao as "very pretty". They originally thought that this was an exaggeration by the old woman. After all, even if they have not given birth to or have children, the developed Internet now allows them to know that newborn babies are generally not very good-looking.
But unexpectedly, he is really so handsome this time!
She has milky white and delicate skin, soft black short hair on her head, and although her eyes are closed, you can tell from the slits between her eyes that her eyes are not small.
The two little fists are clenched tightly, in a word, it’s so cute!
"My little sister is so cute." Zhou Mengjie's voice was soft, as if she was afraid of waking up the sleeping baby.
"Really, it looks like a doll." Wu Yan also agreed in a low voice. It can be seen that the two little ones fell in love with this newborn baby at first sight.
"I'm telling you, I haven't seen such a beautiful child in decades." Grandma Yao's posture when holding the child was very correct. Indeed, she had learned it specially in order to take care of that picky daughter-in-law.
Sun Yiqing had also woken up a long time ago, and was in better condition than ever before, with a rosy complexion as if she had taken some tonic pills.
Looking at Sun Yiqing like this, a hint of certainty flashed through Lin Luo's mind. She walked around the people surrounding the baby, came in front of Grandma Yao, stretched out her right index finger and gently touched the baby's eyebrows.
"Oh, Miss Luo likes children too?" Grandma Yao smiled and wanted to let Lin Luo hold the child in her arms. "You are so pretty, and the children you will give birth to in the future will be just as pretty!"
Lin Luo quickly withdrew his hand and took a step back. "No, I don't know how to hold a baby."
Seeing her avoiding him, everyone around her laughed. Only Yun Shu and Zhou Guangzong seemed to have noticed something unusual and frowned slightly.
Given Lin Luo's personality, he wouldn't let her come forward so actively. Is there something wrong with the child?
As if he could see Zhou Guangzong's worry, Lin Luo didn't keep it a secret, "This child has awakened his special ability."
"What?!" The first reaction of several adults was these two words.
There was no joy on Sun Yiqing's face, only worry. "Baby, baby, will you be okay?"
——If a child who has no independent consciousness has special abilities, will he hurt himself?
This was the mother's first reaction, and she didn't care at all what kind of supernatural power it was.
Lin Luo met Sun Yiqing's gaze, his expression slightly calmer. "This child's ability should be a special kind of ability similar to healing. It doesn't have much lethality, so there's no need to worry."
Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, and then they were filled with joy, "This ability is amazing!"
No matter where you are, healing abilities are precious and popular. After all, no one can guarantee that they will not get hurt.
Even though the child is still young and doesn't understand anything you say, children grow up very fast.
Only Sun Yiqing was stunned when she heard this answer. Her lips trembled slightly, as if she had thought of something. Then she looked at Lin Luo, "Is she... is she, has it always been her?"
This sentence was a little unclear, but Lin Luo understood it.
A pregnant woman, in such a harsh environment and under great psychological pressure, still did not have a miscarriage, her body did not collapse, and she was even able to give birth to a healthy child safely. It would be a bit of a lie to say that it was God's blessing.
So, the answer lies only in this child.
It was her who had been unconsciously using her supernatural powers to protect her mother!
It was also her who always wanted to work hard to survive!
Lin Luo nodded, "Yes."
Just one simple word, and Sun Yiqing couldn't stop crying!
"I, I'm not a good mother! I, I..." At that time, she wanted to give up her life countless times, and even wanted to take her child with her.
Unexpectedly, the child was trying desperately to survive.
"Oh, oh, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry at this time!"
I don’t know what kind of riddle the two of them played to make Sun Yiqing so emotional, but Grandma Yao still hurried to comfort her. Crying during confinement is a big taboo!
Lin Luo spoke again: "You are her only relative, live well."
Sun Yiqing wiped away her tears fiercely and said, "I will, I definitely will!" This time her expression and tone were more determined.
Since the birth of this child, the greatest pleasure for everyone in Zhoujiawu, regardless of gender, age or status, is to take care of the child.
This is much more interesting than playing cards, reading, chatting gossip...!
After eighteen rounds of finals and various fierce competitions, Sun Yiqing finally decided on the child's name - Li Chaoxi, hoping that the child would be like the rising sun, representing hope and new life.
Of course, usually people don’t call her by her real name, but “Yuanyuan”!
Who can blame this child for having big, round eyes? She is as lovable as a glutinous rice dumpling. Most importantly, she is not shy. She always smiles cutely no matter who holds her. Even several fierce-looking men can't help but soften their gazes in front of her round face.
It seems that she has become the new darling of Zhoujiawu!
It's even more amazing for women like Lan Yueyin who have children. They make their own clothes, socks, diapers, toys...even if they don't have them, they have to make them.
I don't know if Grandma Zhou has some kind of affection for Yuanyuan. She is so meticulous about every aspect of her life that sometimes she even disagrees with things that her mother Sun Yiqing thinks are irrelevant.
Lin Luo felt that at this rate, the child would be spoiled. She hoped that such a thing would not happen. She really hated naughty children!
While Sun Yiqing was in confinement, the New Year was getting closer.
On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, Lin Luo decided to kill a pig and distribute the pork!
She has already set her eyes on the largest and most gluttonous pig on Xiaowu Mountain. After all, its several "children" have grown up, and there will be a steady supply of pork.
As a foodie, Lin Luo has never had any sympathy in this regard.
Hearing that Lin Luo was going to kill a pig, several men came over to watch the fun. There was nothing they could do, as they couldn't snatch the child away from the women, so they could only come out to "relax" and try to pretend not to see it.
Someone like Hong Hu was eager to try it himself, but when he saw Yun Shu was already prepared, he had to give up in disappointment.
——I can’t beat him, I can’t beat him!
The wild boar Lin Luo had eaten before was killed by a big wolf and brought back. This was the first time she had seen one killed alive, but seeing how relaxed Yun Shu had seemed before, there shouldn't be any problem.
Zhou Guangzong and Zhou Yaozu had seen many pig-slaughtering scenes when they were young. At that time, a village would slaughter a pig a few days before the New Year, and then the whole village would share the pigs. The scene was spectacular and festive.
But as I grew older, there were fewer people slaughtering pigs, and people could buy fresh pork on a regular basis without having to wait for the Chinese New Year, so I no longer had that sense of anticipation.
So today's scene brought back some memories for them.
"Get a bucket, get a bucket! This pig's blood is a good thing and can't be wasted!"
"This pig is strong and well-fed!"
…
Following their comments, Yun Shu was being treated with such force that the fat pig soon lost its breath and became a real... pig that could be slaughtered at will!
Then Yun Shu's movements became faster. He already had experience in cooking pigs, so he could clearly distinguish each part in one go. Both of them were very satisfied with the ham he made before, so he decided to continue this year.
As for the pig's head and the other half of the meat, they were given to Zhou Guangzong and others, asking them to go back and deal with it themselves, whether they wanted to marinate it or fry it.
Zhou Guangzong felt embarrassed to get such a large piece of precious meat for nothing. After discussing with others, he found a lot of novel little things from the supplies and gave them back to Lin Luo.
Even though they knew that Lin Luo had no shortage of supplies, they could not take advantage of him with a clear conscience.
As a result, Lin Luo's basement welcomed another wave of huge harvest, which quickly filled up the part consumed before and even had some left over.
Lin Luo: “…”
No one else can live the life like her.
It had been a while since I had eaten fresh pork, so that evening Lin Luo had a full meat feast, including vinegar-braised pork intestines, sweet and sour pork, and stir-fried kidneys...
There are more than a dozen dishes, and the ingredients are all from the "enthusiastic and dedicated" big pig, thank it for its selflessness.
And I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but the meat of the wild boar that has been raised at home for half a year seems to taste better? Of course, it’s also possible that Yunshu’s cooking skills have improved again.
"Lolo, we should be able to try out the wind power station tomorrow or the day after tomorrow at the latest."
Lin Luo was still chewing a piece of hot sweet and sour pork when a smile of surprise immediately appeared on his face. "Really? That's great!"
This wind power station sounds easy, but it is actually very troublesome. It took nearly two months of intermittent work. There were times when we lacked materials and couldn't proceed. Now Yun Shu finally finished it.
Lin Luo picked up a large piece of pork ribs and placed it in Yun Shu's bowl. "Reward our great hero! This is definitely the best New Year's gift this year!"
Yun Shu felt a little embarrassed to look at Lin Luo's bright eyes. "I'm not sure it will succeed."
Before it was officially put into operation, Lian Yunshu had no idea what strange problems might arise.
Lin Luo picked up another piece of tenderloin and placed it in Yunshu's bowl. "Whether we succeed or fail, Yunshu is amazing!"
For example, she has no idea what the circuit diagram means, but Yun Shu, who was a "wild child" more than a year ago, can now build things. Isn't that amazing?
——It’s so awesome!
The way Yun Shu lowered his head to eat his meal and Luo Luo praised him enthusiastically—really... so cute!
At nine o'clock on the morning of the third day, most of the people in Zhoujiawu who had finished their morning exercises arrived at the entrance of the valley.
Gusts of cold wind blew across their faces, stinging them a little.
But now everyone just wants the wind to be as strong as possible, and everyone looks a little excited.
Unlike the nervousness she showed in front of Lin Luo, in the eyes of outsiders, Yun Shu at this moment looked confident.
Looks very reliable!
Yun Shu didn't say anything nonsense or keep anyone in suspense. He just turned on the switch. The fan blades started to turn quickly and the machine made a series of roaring sounds.
The green dot above, which represents normal operation, also made the smiles on everyone's faces gradually widen.
After waiting for five minutes and everything being back to normal, everyone couldn't bear it any longer.
Zhou Xiang picked up Zhou Mengjie who was standing next to him and spun her around a few times. "Great! Success! Success! I want to play games! Watch movies! Listen to music!"
In order to save electricity, mobile phones and other electronic devices naturally cannot be charged. Even if there is no signal or network, there are still a lot of things stored in it, which is good for killing time.
"No!" Zhou Guangzong poured cold water on Zhou Xiang, "Let's focus on the important things first."
For example, the freezer and refrigerator that are gathering dust due to lack of electricity are the most important. With them, we can store more supplies.
Seeing Zhou Xiang's instantly aggrieved face, Zhou Guangzong added slowly, "If there's any left, those things of yours wouldn't be a problem either."
It mainly depends on how much electricity this wind turbine can generate. After all, it is small. What if it is not very sufficient? Then it can only be used on urgent things first.
But Zhou Guangzong was not a rigid person. He knew that people not only needed material satisfaction, but also spiritual comfort.
Otherwise, who knows how long this day will last. There will always be people who can't stand the monotonous life that repeats every day.
It would be fine if everyone had lived this kind of life since childhood, but the key is that if they have enjoyed the world of spiritual entertainment and suddenly cut off everything, it would be easy to have problems.
"Uncle, you said it! You can't go back on your word!" Before Zhou Xiang came to Zhoujiawu, he was afraid that the signal here would be bad, so he had the foresight to save a lot of novels and movies on his mobile phone and computer.
As long as there is electricity!
"I said, okay, go back!" Zhou Guangzong glared at Zhou Xiang with anger and amusement, and the group happily returned to the Zhou family and told the others the good news.
It’s so cold that even the air conditioner doesn’t work. If there is enough electricity, we can turn on the heater and heating lamp!
Lin Luo, who had seen everything, touched Yun Shu's hand beside him and asked, "Are you happy?"
Yun Shu's eyes lit up with a smile, and his sharp features were instantly diluted. "Happy!"
