Guoguo started attending classes again, two days a week. Three more students from Taohua Village passed the exam, and Ye Heng arranged work for them, some in the Ministry of Revenue and some in the Ministry of War.

The four little ones attended the mansion's school, one class a day. Then they went out to play. They ran around the mansion's yard, having a blast. The three adults, Li Ru, Qin, and Qi, watched from behind.

Old Lady Li sat in the sun, sewing soles and making shoes. She would look up at her four children from time to time. Someone came to announce, "Master, the wife of the Li family is about to give birth. Please go!" Old Lady Li said, "Li Ru, you go first, I'll follow." Li Ru said, "Okay, I'll go right away." Li Ru ran out. Old Lady Li looked at the children and said, "Qin and Qi, each of you go find the doctor to find Chen Jun and bring him back. Qi, go find Guoguo." "Yes, Master." They rode off on horseback. Old Lady Li took Sibao and called Chai Ping'an. "Let's go! Li Dong's wife is about to give birth." Chai Ping'an said, "The baby should be born in the first month of the year!" Old Lady Li said, "That's right." With that, she wheeled over a cart, loaded the four babies, and the two of them drove to the Li family's residence.

There were many people standing outside the house. Old Lady Li asked, "Is the midwife here?" Li Dong replied, "She's inside." Zuo Xiaoqian's voice could be heard. Old Lady Li said, "Ping'an, you look after the children while I go in to take a look." Chai Ping'an: "Okay, you go."

Old Lady Li came in and said, "Xiao Qian, save your strength. Push when the contractions come." Zuo Xiaoqian nodded, noticing it was Aunt Li. She went out and said, "Li Dong, get some ginseng." Li Dong and his mother went to get it. "Go, son," said Ma Xiaohong. Ma Xiaohong went to the kitchen to make food for his wife and boil some sweet soup. Li Guang sat on a stool outside, silent, listening to the noise, extremely nervous, and unsure what to do. Chai Ping'an looked at the child and said to Li Guang, "Don't panic, brother. We have a doctor at home, don't panic." As he spoke, Chen Jun arrived on horseback, trotting over. "What's going on?" "Is she giving birth?" Chen Jun said nothing more and went to ask the midwife, "Is everything okay?" The midwife replied, "It's normal. Her cervix is ​​almost dilated." Soon, Guoguo and Yeheng heard about it and arrived. Zuo Xiaoqian's mother also arrived.

Everyone in the courtyard waited. Ma Xiaohong brought in some sugar water, and the old lady helped feed her. Zuo Xiaoqian drank a bowl of it, holding a ginseng root in her mouth. The pain returned. The midwife said, "Push harder, we'll almost see the baby's head." Overwhelmed with pain, Zuo Xiaqian strained desperately. "Waaa..." The baby was out. The midwife carried it out, and someone cleaned up Zuo Xiaoqian's lower body. "Oh no! Heavy bleeding." Old Lady Li said, "Don't panic." She called Chen Jun in. "Jun, check your pulse and stop the bleeding." Chen Jun said, "Don't panic, Auntie." Chen Jun took out a silver needle and, after a few injections, the bleeding stopped. The midwife reached into her bag, and Chen Jun took out some hemostatic medicine for the midwife to apply to her lower body. She helped clean up the woman. Old Lady Li said, "Midwife, please help me. My family will be grateful. Li Dong, give me some money." Li Dong said, "Auntie, I will." The midwife listened and worked more carefully. Soon the mother cleaned up and Chen Jun prescribed some medicine. "Auntie, I'll go home and get some medicine and be back in a minute." Old Mrs. Li: "Yes, Jun, hurry up." Chen Jun: "Yes, I will."

Soon the medicine was brought and boiled, and Li Dong fed it to his wife. Ma Xiaohong held the child and said, "He is a blessed child." Old Lady Li said, "Yes, the child is lucky and will be blessed in the future. Xiaoqian also tried her best to give birth to a child. Xiaohong, you have to take good care of yourself during this confinement period. The bleeding is heavy, and fortunately we have a good doctor at home. This time it is dangerous." Ma Xiaohong said, "Sister, I know that my wife has suffered. I will take good care of her." Zuo Xiaoqian's mother came into the house to see her daughter and said, "Don't worry about taking care of him. Your mother-in-law will take care of everything for you. Li Dong is also a good child. His parents and husband are all good. Don't worry about taking care of yourself." Zuo Xiaoqian said, "Yes, I know." Old Lady Li took the child and let Zuo Xiaoqian take a look. A white and fat boy. Zuo Xiaoqian looked at her son, who she had given birth to with all her life. "A boy." Zuo Xiaoqian's mother said, "A son is good! Everything is good." Zuo Xiaoqian wanted a daughter. Ma Xiaohong said, "A boy is also good. Our family is short of people. Everything is good."

Li Dong cleaned up the house himself and put his wife to bed, putting his son to sleep. Both mothers were with Zuo Xiaoqian.

Guoguo felt safe, so she asked Chen Jun to stay overnight in case something happened. Chen Jun: "Okay, I'll come back in the evening and go home to get some medicine to replenish my blood." Ye Heng: "Okay, just tell me what herbs you need." Chen Jun: "We're short on ginseng." Ye Heng glanced at him and said: "Go home and get it."

In the greenhouse, Guoguo went to her space and pulled out a purple ginseng and a white ginseng. She gave them to Chen Jun. Chen Jun looked like he'd just pulled them out, so he took them and left without saying anything. He wasn't surprised anymore.

Li Ru didn't come back, so she took care of her younger siblings and helped look after the children.
