What Wang said was mentioned to her by Yu Niang when she was taking a bath, but after all, time was limited and the words were very general, but now she has completed them.

Passing by the school, the lantern at the door is no longer lit all night like before I left.

Seeing her stop, Mrs. Wang sighed softly and said:
"Since the imperial court promulgated the scientific examination regulations, most of the students have left the school during this time."

"Why?" Cheng Xue was shocked, "Didn't he just stop cultivating? The court decreed that children should go to school."

Wang shook her head and explained helplessly:
"The township examination is now changed to once every three years. Those children over 12 years old have just started to learn. If they really have to wait for them to read out and take the township examination, if they fail the exam once, they will have to wait another three years. When we old farmers reach adulthood, it means spring plowing and autumn harvest. When these children grow up in a few years, how can we let them go to school and not go to the fields?"

"Where are the children in our village? Are Da Lei, Sheng Zi, San Pang and the others down?"

Seeing her nod, Cheng Xue's mouth twitched hard and she couldn't help but shake her head with regret.Remember when they first erected the commemorative monument, they all promised to let their children go to school, but they changed their minds within a year... That's it, everyone has their own ambitions, and she couldn't judge whether it was right or wrong.

"Where's Zhu Zhu? How did he learn from Li Zhong?"

"It's okay. Li Zhong is not as considerate as Nian Zi, but he is honest and responsible." Wang replied, "He is good at keeping accounts, checking accounts, and calculating accounts. If you give him a few account books, this kid will sit there all day without thinking." Drive the place.”

This is true. Zhuzhu and Nianzi are among the most reliable children among the younger generation in the village.

The two of them returned to the west of the village while talking. Wang didn't want to go through any trouble, so she asked Cheng Xue to take her home.

"You really don't want to stay at my house?"

"No." Ms. Wang shook her head and declined, "We won't join in the fun anymore. Just let Yingjie and Sidan live. We'll go over there early tomorrow morning."

"Okay then, go over there for breakfast tomorrow morning, and don't go to my place for the next three days." Cheng Xue said while touching the window.

"Yesterday, the third child, my mother-in-law, and my father-in-law helped to make the paste. I made it together with the third child's wife..."

Before she finished speaking, Wang quickly grabbed Cheng Xue's hand, and then said with a stern face:

"Sister-in-law, my water broke."

Bai Wei came forward with a lantern, and sure enough, there was a puddle of water on the ground.When Bai Shu saw this, he turned around and left. Cheng Xue took the key from her hand and threw it to Bai Wei.

"How's it going? Does it hurt?"

"Not yet... um - it hurts!" After saying this, Ms. Wang shut up tightly and sweat broke out on her forehead.

Bai Wei opened the door and Cheng Xue was about to help her into the house. She didn't want this person to just stand there and keep shaking her head.
After the labor pain passed, he pointed to the west and said:

"Go to that house, everything is in there."

Bai Wei went into the house first to light wax and spread the quilt. By the time Cheng Xue helped her into the house, all preparations had been made.Cheng Xue ordered Bai Wei to set up a fire and boil water. Not long after Yu Zhao and others came back, Liu was the first to rush into the house.

"What's going on? It hurts a lot, doesn't it? Sanhan has gone to pick up Wen Po. Don't be afraid, Yingjie. Mom and Yu Zhao are with you. Li Zhong has also driven to your mother's house to pick you up."

The old lady said a lot, but all she received in response was Wang's groan.

They say the first pregnancy is difficult, the second pregnancy is faster, and the third and fourth babies are watery.

Judging from the frequency of Wang's labor pains, she must be about to give birth. Cheng Xue took off her underpants, checked her cervix and covered her with a quilt.Although I didn't study gynecology, I dabbled in it a little bit, and my uterus was open and I had five fingers, which was very fast. "Xue Niang, how are you?"

"Don't worry, auntie. The baby loves your mother. It has already opened its fingers and will be born in the first half of the night."

After saying that, Bai Wei brought the steaming water into the house, sprinkled it with brown sugar, and it smelled delicious.

Mrs. Wang struggled to sit up, reluctantly drank two sips of soup, and drank two poached eggs before Wen Po came.All the things and hot water were prepared, the palace was opened seven fingers, and Po Wen had already begun to guide Wang to exert force.

The atmosphere in the west room was tense, and the four men in the yard all frowned.Yu Zhao even paced back and forth in the courtyard with his hands behind his back.It wasn't his first time becoming a father, but the couple decided to live separately and settled in Wanghe Village. They discussed and discussed everything, and their relationship was stronger than before.Now that his wife is wandering in front of the gate of hell, he would be damned if he could sit down calmly.

There was quite a commotion, which alerted Mr. Geng who was already resting next door.

The old lady opened the door and came out, looking at the people sitting in the yard through the moonlight, and said:

"Dad Yingjie, has your wife fallen asleep?"

"Yes, Auntie, she is giving birth." Yu Zhao replied.

"Hey, Hui Zi is back? Oops, congratulations."

As he spoke, Mr. Geng came over from the next door and walked to Li Hui who had already stood up. He looked up and down and said:
"I'm thinner. I'm much thinner than before I left! You must be exhausted from the scientific examination."

"It's okay, is Auntie okay?"

"Okay, okay, I don't have anything to worry about now, it's great. You guys sit down while I go into the house and take a look."

After Mrs. Geng finished speaking, she was about to enter the house. As soon as she reached the door, she heard the cry of a child coming from the house, a delicate and fragile little movement, especially calling someone.

"It's happened, my wife has given birth. Dad, my wife has given birth." Yu Zhao said as he rushed into the house.

Geng was almost knocked off his feet by the impact, but Li Hui stepped forward and reached out to help him.After helping her, I realized that the old lady had lost a lot of weight. Although she said she was "very fine", she was actually very sad.After all, a couple who had lived together for many years and had two sons and a daughter suddenly passed away. Unless they were cold-blooded, they would not be heartbroken.

"Auntie has also lost a lot of weight. She needs to eat more."

"...Ah, really? I didn't even feel it." After finishing speaking, Geng said, "Hehe..." he walked into the room with an awkward smile.

Mrs. Wang gave birth to a daughter, weighing five pounds and six taels. Yu Zhao was so excited that she hugged her, coaxed her and kissed her.The Wangs themselves are also happy. A son and a daughter are exactly what they want.After all the aftermath was done, Li Zhong also took over Wang's family.

When the Queen Mother heard that her daughter had given birth to a girl, she hurriedly glanced at Mrs. Liu and saw that her in-laws were not displeased at all, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good to have a daughter. A daughter is my mother's caring little cotton-padded jacket. Are you okay, Nier? Just tell your mother what you want to eat and she will cook it for you."

Wang was a little tired, but still managed to cheer up and responded:

"No, mother, just help me take care of the child. My sister-in-law's wife will help me with the cooking. She can make medicinal meals. That nourishes the body and I can recover quickly."

The Queen Mother nodded when she heard this, took out a small silver ring from her arms and put it on her granddaughter.Although the life at home is not as good as that of the Yu family, they can still make some money by growing vegetables.At least the gifts this time were more than the last time I gave them to Yingjie. Wang felt bright on her face, and Yu Zhao felt comfortable in her heart.

As for Mrs. Liu, if the family is separated, they will live their own lives and give as much as they like. She doesn't worry about this...
