Song Tingzhi took Jiang Cheng and the child back only after seeing that the snow on the mountain had melted a lot.
The mountain road was difficult to drive on and was slippery! With Song Tingzhi's baby in the car, Song Tingzhi drove very carefully.
Halfway through the journey, the rear wheel got stuck in a pothole and Song Tingzhi couldn't get it out for a while. Jiang Cheng wanted to get off to help him, but Song Tingzhi asked him to stay in the car. After a while, two people passing by came to help.
Song Tingzhi asked them where they were going in the middle of winter. The man said they were looking for someone. He said his sister had been missing for many years and many people had been looking for her but couldn't find her. He would go looking for her every year when he had free time, but there was no trace of her after so many years!
When Song Tingzhi heard him say that, he knew he had said too much and was busy comforting him. The man was sad for a while and then stopped. He had gotten used to it after so many years!
Seeing that Song Tingzhi was busy on his way back, he turned around and left without disturbing him. Seeing that he had left, Song Tingzhi did not stay any longer and hurriedly drove the donkey cart back!
If you stay outside for a moment longer, Jiang Cheng, the child and little sister will be exposed to the cold!
When Song Tingzhi arrived home, Xu Sanniang and the others had finished their meal. Song Tingzhi pushed open the door and led the donkey cart in. The noise he made startled Xu Sanniang, who was warming herself in the house, out!
Xu Sanniang was chatting with Song Tao, while Song Yu and Zhang Jinyou were writing at the desk. When they heard some noise outside, they thought they were being robbed and came out to check. What they saw was to their delight!
"Are you back?" Xu Sanniang went to greet them, patted her son twice, and then went to the back of the car to check on Jiang Cheng and Doudou.
Xu Sanniang opened the canopy a little and saw Jiang Cheng, Doudou, and Song Qian all smiling brightly inside. "Chengcheng! Qianqian!"
"Mom..." Jiang Cheng was about to get off the car when he heard Xu Sanniang calling him.
"Give Doudou to me, slow down!" Xu Sanniang took Doudou from Jiang Cheng and carefully wrapped Doudou tightly with a blanket to prevent any air from entering.
Xu Sanniang carried Doudou into the house, and Jiang Cheng and the others followed behind. The house was warm, but they shivered as soon as they entered.
"Come warm quickly!" Xu Sanniang handed Doudou to Song Tao and gave each of them a hot water bottle to warm them up.
"Mom, Tingzhi brought back a lot of charcoal, it's in the car!" Jiang Cheng was holding it in his hand when he remembered that there was still charcoal in the car. Don't leave it outside to get damp.
"Okay, okay, I'll be out in a minute! Cover your hands first!" Xu Sanniang nodded. "I was worried about not having enough firewood this year, but now I have charcoal, so I don't have to worry about it for the New Year! By the way, didn't you save some for yourselves in the shop?"
"Yes, don't worry!" Jiang Cheng nodded.
Xu Sanniang knew that they had not eaten yet, so she hurried to the woodshed to get some food for them.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Xu Sanniang let them go to sleep. When she went to the woodshed just now, she lit the kang for their room. It should be warm by now!
Doudou was left to Xu Sanniang to take care of. Xu Sanniang really loved Doudou at this moment!
After Jiang Cheng woke up, he distributed the things he brought back from the town to everyone, giving each person a cotton coat.
"Me too?" Zhang Jinyou was a little surprised to see that Jiang Cheng also prepared one for him.
"Of course, you're a member of our family now! Take it!" Jiang Cheng stuffed the cotton coat into Zhang Jinyou's arms. "It's especially cold this year. Let's not go out in the cold all the time. Be careful not to catch a cold!"
Before Jiang Cheng came back, he went to the pharmacy and bought some medicine to prevent colds, just to be prepared!
Everyone else nodded. This winter is indeed not normal, so it’s better to be more careful!

Two days later, the whole family was chatting and warming themselves in the house when Aunt Wang knocked on the door hurriedly, as if she had something urgent to tell them.
"Sanniang! Sanniang!" Aunt Wang pushed the door open and walked straight to Xu Sanniang.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Xu Sanniang was just talking to Doudou, but she was startled by her.
"Oh! Qiangdong's wife is about to give birth, but the midwife hasn't come yet. Sister, come with me to take a look!" Aunt Wang said anxiously.
She was fine this morning, but she accidentally bumped into a stool while eating and was frightened. Song Qiangdong went to ask a midwife to come, but she hasn't come yet. Aunt Wang thought of Xu Sanniang. Xu Sanniang had helped a midwife deliver a baby before and had much more experience than herself, so she thought of asking her to come and take a look.
"Isn't the date yet?" Xu Sanniang was shocked. She calculated and found that there were still more than ten days left!
"Yes! Sister, come with me to take a look!" Aunt Wang didn't want to say anything more to Xu Sanniang here, so she pulled her out.
"Yes, yes, let's go!" Xu Sanniang put on an outer coat and followed Aunt Wang. Before leaving, she told Jiang Cheng and the others to wait for news at home.
After Xu Sanniang followed Aunt Wang home, she heard Ye Xiaoman groaning in pain in the house. Apart from Aunt Wang, only Song Xiaoyuan could go into the house to look after Ye Xiaoman. The others were all men and it was not convenient for them to go in.
After Xu Sanniang pushed the door open and walked in, she looked down at Ye Xiaoman's body and said, "Don't worry, it's not time yet! Some women give birth quickly, some slowly!"
"Let's go and prepare the things we'll need later, so it will be more convenient when the midwife comes!" Xu Sanniang comforted as they walked, leaving Song Xiaoyuan in the room to accompany Ye Xiaoman for a while.
Aunt Wang felt much more relaxed after being comforted by her. After preparing everything, she went into the house to comfort Ye Xiaoman. This was Ye Xiaoman's first child. She had been married to Song Qiangdong for three years and finally got pregnant. Aunt Wang was naturally very cautious.
When she first saw Xu Sanniang holding Doudou, she was very envious. Song Tao was the same. Song Tao was holding many babies and was waiting to hold his own grandson!
After a while, Song Qiangdong came back with the midwife. The midwife first looked at Ye Xiaoman's lower body and said that it was not the right time yet. After hearing this, Aunt Wang found a hot water bottle to warm the midwife's hands and also got some food for her.
When Ye Xiaoman heard the midwife say it wasn't time yet, she was so anxious that sweat broke out on her forehead. "My stomach hurts so much and it's not time yet?!"
After an hour, the midwife saw that it was almost time, so she asked Ye Xiaoman to push. It was Ye Xiaoman's first time giving birth, and she had been tossing and turning for a long time before, so she didn't have enough strength. It was the midwife who pressed her abdomen with her hands to help her push, and she finally gave birth.
Ye Xiaoman fainted as soon as the baby was born. Aunt Wang was frightened, but the midwife said that she fainted from exhaustion and it was nothing serious, as she had given birth to a boy!
Aunt Wang was so happy holding her baby grandson. After waiting for three years, the Song family finally had a baby!
Xu Sanniang was congratulating her from the side, and she was happy too!
After cleaning the child, Aunt Wang took the child out to show the father and son. Song Tao and Song Qiangdong were also very excited and came over to see the child!
Seeing that the whole family was happy, Xu Sanniang thought of telling Song Tao the news so that they could be happy together and then go home first!
