Rebirth of the Legend of the Red Age

Chapter 110, The First Child is Born

Time passed in his happy life, and the famine that Wang Li knew about came as expected.

Since the beginning of this year, the international situation has become more tense. The grain production in the south of Longguo has been severely reduced, and there has been little rain in the north. It is expected that the national grain output will drop sharply this year, and people's lives will be difficult.

Wang Li's family was very fortunate. They followed Wang Li's advice and worked hard to stockpile food and various supplies in the early stages.

Zhang Fang and his family also felt an indescribable sense of relaxation.

After all, they had all listened to Wang Li's advice in the early stages. Not only did they stockpile supplies, they were also actively taking precautions against disasters at work.

Now the disaster predicted by Wang Li has basically been confirmed. Therefore, their early preparations can be said to be foresighted in politics and beneficial to their future work.

If what Wang Li predicted had not happened, their early preparations might have been seen by others as a sign of cowardice, and they were also under a certain amount of pressure.

Especially Li Ren's father, Li Hu, who has now been assigned to a state as governor. He is in charge of the local people's livelihood. If this incident had not happened, the impact on him would have been even greater.

Now, Wang Li's plan has come true. His preparations will bring great benefits to the local people and will reduce the losses suffered by the local people. This is all his credit and political achievement.

At this time, Wang Li no longer had time to care about the Great Famine. He was now in the hospital with his wife Zheng Lan waiting for delivery.

According to the current way of thinking, giving birth to a child would just require finding a midwife.

But Wang Li is a modern man who is well aware of the dangers of childbirth. So when Zheng Lan was about to give birth, he asked someone to book a bed in the hospital and wait for her to give birth.

This is Zheng Lan's first time giving birth, so she can't be too careful.

That night, Wang Li was wandering anxiously outside the delivery room. He was accompanied by his parents, Lai San, Lai Xiaomei, and representatives of Zhang Fang's family.

At this time, only Zheng Lan's roar could be heard from the delivery room. It was obvious that she was still trying hard to give birth.

Zhang Fang and others comforted Wang Lidao: It's okay, Zheng Lan has a good physique and has practiced Kung Fu. Although it is the first child, there will definitely be no problem.

Although Wang Li knew this was the fact, he knew Zheng Lan's physical condition best.

Especially during her pregnancy, Zheng Lan often took walks in the yard. She was in a good mood and had adequate nutrition, so giving birth should not be too difficult.

But Wang Li was still very anxious because he was worried. After all, this was the first child born in his two lives in more than 50 years.

He had been waiting for a long time, how could he not be anxious? Moreover, he felt sorry for his wife. He had strong hearing and perception, and he could clearly feel Zheng Lan's pain.

At this time, his father took out a small medicine bottle from his pocket and said to Wang Li: This is a special medicine made at home. Your mother gave birth smoothly after taking this. If it really doesn't work, give some to Zheng Lan. Wang Li took the medicine, nodded to his father, and continued to wait anxiously.

Soon after, a "wow" sound was heard from the room, and the baby's cry was heard. The Wang family, including the accompanying relatives and friends, all breathed a sigh of relief. The baby was finally born.

Shortly after the baby's crying was heard, the door of the delivery room was opened and Zheng Lan was pushed out by two nurses.

Zheng Lan's face was pale and her forehead was covered with sweat. Wang Li hurried forward to her side, wiped the sweat off her forehead with his hand, and asked in a gentle voice: Wife, are you okay?

Zheng Lan gave him a reassuring look but didn't say anything. It was obvious that she had exhausted all her strength.

Wang Li didn't care about the child who was about to come out, but pushed Zheng Lan towards the ward.

He would not feel at ease until he had put his wife to bed in the ward.

Before leaving, he said to his parents: You wait for the child, I will send Zheng Lan back to the ward first.

Zheng Lan was deeply touched. Most people would care about the baby first and then the pregnant woman.

But Wang Li did not do so. He did not even ask whether it was a boy or a girl. The first thing he thought of was to care for his wife.

After Wang Li carried Zheng Lan to the bed, Zheng Lan calmed down a little, gently held Wang Li's hand and said: I'm sorry! I didn't give you a boy! I gave birth to a girl, the nurse just told me.

Wang Li was slightly stunned after hearing this, and said to Zheng Lan: Don't worry, as long as it is your child, I like it whether it is a boy or a girl.

And I also prefer girls. The girl you give birth to will definitely be like you in the future, very beautiful and smart.

Although she didn't know whether Wang Li was telling the truth, Zheng Lan felt relieved.

He held Wang Li's hand with his right hand and fell asleep after a while.

Wang Li did not move, for fear of waking up Zheng Lan who was sleeping soundly. He just sat beside her bed, looking at his wife, his heart filled with happiness and gratitude.

Soon after, he heard a chaotic sound of footsteps in the corridor. He knew it was his mother and the others coming, but he still did not move. He just made a hushing gesture before they entered the room, indicating that Zheng Lan had fallen asleep.

At this time, Wang Li's parents had complicated expressions. Wang Li knew that Zheng Lan must have given birth to a girl instead of a boy, which made them a little disappointed.

But they couldn't say anything. After all, they were very satisfied with Zheng Lan, their daughter-in-law, and basically treated her as their own daughter.
