After talking for a while, they each got into their carriages, with Han Yibo clinging to Han Mingjiang's arms and refusing to get down.
Han Mingjiang then had him sit on the horse and rode forward with him.
Han Yisong rode his horse slowly alongside the carriage carrying Li Lanzhen.
After traveling for more than half an hour, the carriage stopped.
Just as Li Lanzhen was about to get off the bus, she heard Xue Nizi's loud voice shouting.
"Mother~ Mother, you've come! Hahaha, we've been waiting for you!"
"Oh, my son! You're here too. Come here and let your mother hug you. I've missed you so much!"
As Li Lanzhen stepped out of the carriage, she saw Xue Nizi, heavily pregnant, holding Han Yibo.
She quickly exclaimed, "Nizi, are you crazy! Your belly is so big, and you're still holding him."
Han Yibo nestled carefully in his mother's arms.
Upon hearing his grandmother say this, she quickly patted Xue Nizi on the shoulder.
"Mom, please put me down. You have a little sister in your belly, and she'll be scared."
When relatives meet in different places, they always have endless things to say and endless longing to express.
When they ate, Li Lanzhen noticed that their meals weren't lavish, but they should be enough to fill them up, and the mix of meat and vegetables was quite good.
Li Lanzhen really enjoyed the generous amount of fruit served after the meal.
She has been in this world for more than five years and has eaten very few kinds of fruit.
Now that she's here, there's plenty of fruit, so she can eat as much as she wants.
She plans to stock up on a large quantity of fruit in her space to take back with her.
Looking at Xue Nizi's large belly, Li Lanzhen asked, "Nizi, when you wrote to me you said you were already four months pregnant, so you're about to give birth now, right?"
"Yes, Mother, she should be giving birth in the next few days."
"Have you found a midwife? Are there any good doctors in the army?"
Han Mingjiang sat next to Li Lanzhen, looking tenderly at Xue Nizi's big belly. "Mother, don't worry, we've found two midwives, and they're staying in this courtyard."
We have a good doctor in our army, and we've already arranged to call him over when Nizi gives birth.
Now that Mother has come, her son feels much more at ease.
Then he looked at Xuan Shen sitting next to him and laughed even more heartily, "Mother, didn't we not have a brother named Xuan Shen?"
Li Lanzhen knew that Xuan Shen possessed medical skills, and she also had various blood-tonifying medicines he had prepared in her spatial storage. If all else failed, there was always the spiritual spring water.
However, my concern clouded my judgment, and I momentarily forgot about these safeguards.
Han Yisong hugged his younger brother Han Yibo, their heads touching, not knowing what to say.
One moment she'd tilt her head back and giggle, the next she'd lower her head and whisper in someone's ear.
Everyone at the table was talking and laughing when...
Xue Nizi frowned and cried out in pain.
"Your Majesty, ouch, it hurts so much! Are you about to give birth?"
Chaos immediately ensued!
Han Mingjiang immediately picked up Xue Nizi and carried her out of the main room and into the prepared delivery room.
He walked along shouting loudly.
"Midwife, midwife, hurry, the lady is about to give birth."
"Junsheng, quickly go and fetch Doctor Liu. Tell him the lady is about to give birth, and he should hurry!"
Li Lanzhen hurried to the kitchen to prepare a bowl of poached eggs for Xue Nizi and to quickly boil water.
Upon entering, one sees Tiehua, heavily pregnant, directing several maids in the kitchen to boil water.
"Tiehua, you should go out quickly. You're pregnant too, and you're rushing around. Don't bump into anything."
"Aunt Lanzhen, I'm fine, I'm perfectly healthy."
Go check on Sister Nizi; I'll watch over things here.
More than an hour later, the baby's wailing cries disturbed the nerves of the tense people in the courtyard.
Han Mingjiang released his grip on Han Yibo's hands and scooped him up from his legs.
"Haha, you little rascal, your mother has given birth!"
Did you say your mother gave birth to a sister or a brother?
No sooner had she finished speaking than the midwife came out carrying a baby.
"General, congratulations! Your wife has given birth to a daughter!"
Han Mingjiang quickly asked, "How is my wife?"
"Madam is fine, just tired."
Han Yisong and Han Yibo immediately ran over, shouting as they ran.
"Sister, sister, we finally have a sister!"
Li Lanzhen entered the delivery room and saw Xue Nizi. Although she was a little tired, she looked to be in good spirits.
She brought a bowl of warm spring water.
"Nizi, come and have some water. Once everything is cleaned up, you can get a good night's sleep."
After a while, the midwife said that everything was cleaned up, and Han Mingjiang carried her into their bedroom.
Xue Nizi then fell into a deep sleep.
Han Mingjiang came out, looked at the exhausted Li Lanzhen, and held her arm apologetically.
"Mother, you've traveled a long way, and now you're here to find Nizi giving birth."
"Thank you for your hard work, please go and rest."
Li Lanzhen was indeed a little tired. Seeing that they had made arrangements in an orderly manner, she agreed and went back to her room to sleep.
Xue Nizi had plenty of milk, so the ewes that Han Mingjiang and the others found were not needed.
We boiled the goat milk every day and made it for everyone to drink.
The next morning, Li Lanzhen woke up, washed up, went to check on the mother and daughter who were still asleep, and quietly withdrew.
I left the General's Mansion and took a walk around the surrounding area.
After walking for a while, they met Han Shunkui and Tiehua, who were driving a donkey cart.
"Aunt Lanzhen, where are you going? I'll take you there."
"I'm just going to wander around around here. Where are you two headed?"
Han Shunkui smiled slightly, "Auntie, let's go to the fields, do you want to come and take a look?"
"Sure, I'll go with you and take a look around."
After walking for about two miles, we came to see a vast expanse of farmland.
“This is a rice paddy.” Looking at the golden expanse, Li Lanzhen asked them.
Han Shunkui nodded and smiled, saying, "Aunt Lanzhen, this whole area is rice paddies. We can grow two seasons of rice here."
We also planted rice paddy fish in these rice fields. They've grown so fat!
“Great! Planting two crops a year will allow us to harvest one more crop.”
Tiehua chuckled, “Who says otherwise? The rice here can be harvested twice a year.”
"It just means we'll be busier, but as long as we can produce more grain, what does it matter if we're busy and tired?"
Han Shunkui spoke very little along the way, but he looked relaxed and happy.
Li Lanzhen knew that Han Shunde must have written to him about Gu Yuli's matter.
But one thing at a time, she couldn't possibly take her anger out on Han Shunkui.
Judging from their harmonious relationship, he and Tiehua must be living a good life.
"Tiehua, how far along are you in your pregnancy?"
Tiehua gently stroked her belly and said softly.
"Auntie, it's been more than five months already."
"Oh, it's been more than five months. You need to be careful and avoid going to the farmland if possible."
"Just grow some vegetables at home and tidy up the house."
Han Shunkui quickly nodded in agreement.
"Look at you, you never listen to me, but now Aunt Lanzhen is saying you have to listen!"
Tiehua quickly interrupted, "Auntie, we have planted more than 8,000 mu of sweet potatoes and potatoes here."
It is possible to grow two crops a year, and the soil at the foot of that mountain is very suitable for growing sweet potatoes and potatoes.
The sweet potatoes and potatoes are large and especially sweet.
Aunt Lanzhen, you have no idea, the first year we planted sweet potatoes and potatoes, the soldiers in the army hugged them and cried tears of joy, saying they would never have to go to war hungry again.
"Sweet potatoes and potatoes don't store well here, do they?"
"Yes, but it's hot here, so we wash the sweet potatoes and potatoes, slice them, dry them, and pack them away."
It will taste just as good in winter.
Li Lanzhen came here this time with the intention of establishing a vermicelli factory in the military camp.
This makes the rice noodles easy to carry and store, making them ideal for military use.
