The young couple from the farm fights back

In the 25th year of Chenghua in Daqing, spring began.

The cold wind gradually dissipates, and the spring is chilly.

One day before spring plowing, after noon.

Jiang Li had just coaxed her two children to sleep and wanted to go to the yard to take a look at the rice seeds prepared for this year.

Unexpectedly, there was a sudden pain in the abdomen, followed by a warm current flowing from the lower body.

Jiang Li took a deep breath, supported herself on the edge of the bed with one hand, and supported her round belly with the other. Even though she had never given birth, she knew that the baby in her belly was about to be born.

She gritted her teeth and endured the pain, then slowly walked out of the main house. Her face was pale as she said to Aowu, "Go quickly—call Aunt Hu!"

Ao Wu, who was originally lying on the ground taking a nap, immediately stood up and ran to the gate of the yard when he heard this. He raised his paw to pick open the bolt and ran out quickly.

Fortunately, Jiang Li had taught Ao Wu how to pick the door bolt in her spare time. Otherwise, she couldn't guarantee that she would be able to move to the courtyard gate by now.

Jiang Li has always had the habit of warming water in the kitchen. She has prepared all the items needed for delivery in the next room. She just needs to wait for Aunt Hu to come and help her, and she will be able to give birth to the baby smoothly.

Jiang Li had never thought of hiring a midwife. The reason was not only because of her own professional expertise, but also because of the shadow left in her heart by Aunt Zhou, which made her unable to trust the midwives in the village.

She slowly walked into the second room, took a deep breath, and lay down on the kang.

Not long after, when Aunt Hu and Zhao came over, they heard the noise coming from the next room.

Jiang Li was afraid that the noise would wake up the two children next door, so she stuffed a handkerchief into her mouth. With her strong willpower, she gritted her teeth and held on, trying her best to abort the baby.

When Aunt Hu and Zhao pushed the door open and entered the room, they happened to see Jiang Li clutching the mattress tightly with both hands at his sides, veins popping out on his forehead and neck, and his neck tilted back in layers of cold sweat.

Before the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law could get closer, Jiang Li let out a low groan of pain, and the cry of a baby pierced the entire room.

"Wow~Wow~~"

Zhao was terrified: "Oh my God!"

My sister-in-law is so amazing. She actually gave birth to the child by herself.

Aunt Hu stepped forward with a distressed look on her face and held Jiang Li's hand: "Is everything okay with the Chunfeng family?"

Jiang Li gasped for breath, exhausted, and threw the handkerchief out of her mouth. She said weakly, "The hot water is in the kitchen."

Zhao finally came to her senses after hearing this: "I, I'll serve it right away."

Jiang Li panted and pointed at the table beside him. On it were prepared scissors, strong liquor, an empty basin, candlelight, and a clean handkerchief.

"Auntie, help me rinse the scissors with strong liquor, then heat them over the fire and cut the umbilical cord."

This was also Aunt Hu's first time delivering a baby. Although she was an experienced person, she was always caught off guard when encountering such things. She had previously suggested finding a midwife for Jiang Li, but Jiang Li refused.

Aunt Hu hurriedly did everything Jiang Li said, cut the baby's umbilical cord, and then wrapped the fallen purple clothes with a cloth.

Zhao boiled some hot water, wiped the child's body with a handkerchief, and wrapped him up in a fine cotton jacket prepared nearby.

"Sister-in-law, it's a girl."

Jiang Li smiled and nodded. She knew she was pregnant with a girl, and she had almost mastered the pulse-taking skill inherited from her ancestors.

Zhao carefully placed the child next to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li turned her head to look at the little girl. Her whole body was red, her eyes were closed, but she was crying with her mouth open. It was impossible to tell whether she looked like her or Zhou Chunfeng.

However, this is her and Zhou Chunfeng's daughter, the flesh and blood left to her by her most beloved person.

At this moment, looking at the baby in the cradle, Jiang Li's heart softened like a pool of water.

Aunt Hu helped Jiang Li clean up, covered her with a thick quilt, and carefully instructed her, "Chun Feng's family, lie down carefully. Auntie will go to the kitchen to make you some food to nourish your body."

"Thank you, Auntie." Jiang Li nodded gratefully.

"Hey~, look at what you said." Aunt Hu walked out of the room with a smile, fearing that she would delay giving Jiang Li nourishment. She didn't even have time to take a look at the child.

Zhao liked the little girl and couldn't help but hold her in her arms and tease her for a while before putting the swaddle back next to Jiang Li.

"Sister-in-law, let me clean up and you can take a rest first. You should stay at home and take care of your son. My mother-in-law and I will help take care of him."

Jiang Li tilted her head, reached out and teased the little girl's cheek, and said gratefully, "Thank you for your help."

"What are you talking about, sister-in-law? This is what our family should do." If it weren't for the eldest brother and sister-in-law, the head of the family and father-in-law would have been captured and forced to serve as soldiers long ago, not to mention that the eldest sister-in-law saved her and Erbao's lives.

Zhao took the basin, scissors and handkerchiefs out of the room and closed the door tightly to prevent Jiang Li from being exposed to the wind during her confinement.

Seeing the little girl tired of crying, whining and twisting her little pink fists, Jiang Li suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but laugh: "Are you hungry, greedy girl?"

When Jiang Li was pregnant with her daughter, her appetite gradually grew. If she hadn't controlled her diet for fear that she would suffer during delivery, she would have definitely raised the girl to be fat and plump in the womb.

She held the little girl sideways, unbuttoned her clothes and fed her. Sure enough, the little girl didn't even open her eyes, but after two sucks, she immediately became energetic.

Looking at the child in her arms, Jiang Li missed the man on the front line more and more.

[Zhou Chunfeng, we have a daughter now. Are you all right outside?]

After spending nearly three months together, Zhou Chunfeng and the Huai soldier became old friends who could talk about anything. In addition, they were of similar age and were currently in the same Huai Army barracks, fighting the war together.

As they got along, Zhou Chunfeng gradually realized that this person was acting strangely, so he observed him secretly, and sure enough, he discovered the trick.

But Zhou Chunfeng didn't expose the truth to his face. Instead, he waited for someone to tell him. As he expected, one night not long after, the other party finally revealed his identity to him.

"Old Zhou, if you are willing to come with me, the place where my Xiaochao is located will be your territory, Zhou Chunfeng."

Xiao Chao's real background is the second son of Prime Minister Xiao of the current dynasty. The reason why he infiltrated the Huai Army this time was to collect intelligence from it.

There were many disputes and wars among the parties, and the Huai Army was in full swing. Now the fighting power of the rebel army was getting weaker and weaker, so Xiao Chao had to return to the camp to help the rebel army.

After spending many months together, Xiao Chao felt that he had a deep enough understanding of Zhou Chunfeng. He knew that this man was very strategic and had helped him avoid being strangled in melees many times.

Zhou Chunfeng had privately predicted the direction of wars between various forces many times, which made Xiao Chao admire him greatly. He felt that if this man could be used by their Xiao family's righteous army, he would be able to reverse the current low morale of the righteous army.

Zhou Chunfeng raised his eyebrows without surprise. The two of them were standing on the treetops near the camp.

Scattered around were fellow Huai Army soldiers, some chatting and laughing in groups of three or five, some drinking together, and some exhausted, curled up on the ground and snoring.

In order not to attract attention, they did not dare to leave the sight of the crowd and deliberately lowered their voices when talking.

"As far as I know, it will be difficult for the rebels to win this war." Pulling him into the rebel army does not mean sending him to his death.

Huh~

I want to eat fart!

His wife and children were still waiting for his triumphant return, and his wife's baby was about to be born. If it weren't for the current unpredictable war situation, which made it impossible to send letters home, Zhou Chunfeng would have been able to suppress his longing for Jiang Li and the child.

Moreover, he had finally made a name for himself among the Huai Army soldiers. If he stayed in the Huai Army honestly, with the current momentum of the Huai Army, he would sooner or later make a bigger name for himself.
