Ye Hongchang explained in detail what he had seen and heard on this trip, and comforted Mrs. Wang.

"He and I are good brothers. We are informal. When he comes back from escorting the goods, he will come to our house. He happens to be from Wushan County."

Wang smiled and said, "What a coincidence."

The seeds were obtained, but the next step, of course, was spring plowing.

The weather is cold in the summer, so this is the right time to plant.

If we were in Xiliang, it would be too late.

We have to take care of the duck coop and are busy farming, so there are not enough people in the family.

Ye Xiangxiang, Ye Cuicui and Ye Lixuan were busy with the work in the duck house, and they were also responsible for cooking for the family.

All the adults went to work in the fields. Even Zhou, a pregnant woman, was not idle. She was boiling water and preparing vegetables at home, cutting sweet potatoes and potatoes, and doing some light work.

The Ye family has opened sixteen acres of land, all of which can be planted this year.

In addition, there are only five people working in the Wang family, and you will know how tiring it is when you think about it.

Every household is very busy, and there is nothing you can do if you want to come over to help. You have to finish your own work first.

Chen Youcai's legs have just healed up and he has already gone to work in the fields. He missed the spring plowing. What will he harvest this fall?

It was busy until mid-April, and the work for each household was finally completed.

Everyone was so tired these days that they shed a layer of skin, but when they saw that the crops were planted in the ground, they felt very happy.

A few days later, it rained lightly, which made the whole village very happy.

This kind of rain can just moisturize the land. It is simply a blessing from God.

Erluzi smiled and said, "It seems that we have been suffering for too long, and God can't stand it any longer. The crops have just been planted and it rained like this, so there is no need to water them."

Ye Hongchang is also happy. Everything is going smoothly this year. It seems to be a good year.

He took Er Lengzi and Wang Yongfu to the duck house to have a look.

If the two of them gave money, then they would have a share of the duck house.

Both families sent people to help, and the wages were calculated.

No matter it's windy or rainy, the duck house has to be taken care of. Ye Xiangxiang is standing in the rain wearing a raincoat, chasing the ducks.

Ye Hongchang said, "Xiangxiang, go back, I will do the rest of the work."

Ye Xiangxiang smiled and said, "It will be fine soon."

The rain was not heavy, so the ducks were not driven back to the duck house. The ducks were looking for food outside and fluffing their feathers for a while, which looked particularly interesting.

Ye Xiangxiang came out of the duck pen, and Ye Hongchang quickly pulled her and closed the door.

Wang Yongfu said, "These ducks grow really fast. I just came to see them a few days ago. How long have they been? They seem to have grown a lot."

Ye Xiangxiang patted the water on his body and said with a smile, "There are a lot of good things in the mud by the river. The food is better than what we prepare ourselves. If you eat good things, you will grow faster."

Next to the river, there is a shallow shoal where there is no shortage of small fish and shrimps. Ye Xiangxiang noticed this and wanted to raise ducks here.

Er Lengzi and Wang Yongfu previously felt that Ye Hongchang's thinking was too simple. Now that they saw the results, they felt a lot more at ease. It seemed like they could really make money.

The two of them had things to do at home, so they went back first. Ye Hongchang and Ye Xiangxiang stood in the rain holding umbrellas and continued planning to raise ducks.

Next year when I have money on hand, I can expand the duck house even more.

Ye Hongchang was frightened. This girl is a courageous girl. She is not afraid of trouble. He has nothing to be afraid of. Of course he has to work hard to make money.

While they were talking, Ye Lixuan ran over and called Ye Xiangxiang, "Sister, it seems that the third aunt is about to give birth. Grandma asked you to go back and take a look."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiangxiang ran away, "Dad, I'll go back and take a look first." "Okay, go quickly."

The siblings ran home in the rain, and Ye Hongchang looked into the distance and sighed.

The younger brother and sister are about to give birth, and I don’t know where the third child is. When will he come back?

The last time I went out for half a month, I didn't get any news, but Mr. Meng wouldn't lie to them, and there was no need to lie.

He believed that Ye Hongshun and the others were definitely fine, but he was confused. Since they were fine, they would definitely find a way to find their home.

After such a long time, if they had not entered the Great Flame, it would not have been easy for them to survive outside.

If he successfully entered the Great Flame, why couldn't he get any news at all?

He also left messages in several inns. Logically speaking, they would go home after receiving the message.

This thing is really strange.

When Ye Xiangxiang returned home, Mrs. Zhou was already in pain and sweating all over her head.

Wang said, "It seems a few days ahead of schedule. Your uncle has already sent for the midwife. It will take a while. Xiangxiang, please check on your third aunt first."

Ye Xiangxiang nodded, but she had never delivered a baby and had little experience. She could only use the knowledge she learned from books to judge whether Zhou was in danger now.

After counting her breathing and heartbeat, and feeling Zhou's pulse, Ye Xiangxiang said, "Grandma, Third Aunt is in too much pain right now. I'll give her a few injections to see if it can stop the pain."

She learned this from the medical books given by Meng Chang. It was used to relieve Chen Youcai's pain. It was very effective, but she didn't know if it would be effective in childbirth.

Li and Liu quickly gave up their positions, and Ye Xiangxiang performed the acupuncture. Zhou felt a little better, but it could only provide relief, and it was still very painful.

After a while, Ye Hongfu came back, but brought back bad news.

"Po Po Wen from Zhaojiacun went back to her parents' home last night. People in the village said her father was gone and she wouldn't be back for two days."

The stable woman had been decided before, but counting the days, it would take a few days for Zhou to give birth, and no one expected that it would be so sudden.

Now that things have come to this, we can only do it ourselves.

Wang calmed down and immediately arranged for someone to boil water and prepare utensils.

She has also delivered babies, but she is not as experienced as Po Wen and does not dare to take risks.

But now there is no other way, we can't let Zhou give birth by herself, right?

The Ye family was busy, and someone passed by outside and asked. Ye Lixuan was young, so he said, "My third aunt is about to give birth, but Po Wen didn't come."

As a result, after a while, Wu ran over. She was Chen Youcai's mother.

"Is someone going to have a baby? I can deliver the baby."

When Ye Hongchang heard this, he quickly asked her and found out that she had been a midwife before. He immediately asked Ye Cuicui to go in and tell Mrs. Wang.

With Wu's help, Wang felt confident.

The two of them worked together, and within an hour, Zhou gave birth to the child.

A loud cry came from the east room, and everyone in the courtyard breathed a sigh of relief. A new child was born in the family.

Ye Hongfu wiped away his tears and said, "The third child has become a father. I don't know where he is now."

Ye Hongchang said, "Don't worry, brother, I will go out to inquire in a few days and I will definitely find them."
