Chapter 1486

A natural disaster has come to an end.

Qing’an County, which had been struggling with the drought for more than a year, finally welcomed the long-awaited rain.

Most importantly, the weather has finally returned to normal.

Although spring planting has been delayed, hardworking farmers can still replant the land that has been nourished by the rain.

This way, there will still be some harvest in the fall to feed on.

Thanks to the efforts of the county magistrate Ye Xiangming, the crisis in Qing’an County slowly passed. A large number of victims were effectively resettled, and the originally dead silent county gradually returned to its former bustling self.

However, the wounds inflicted on Qing’an County by this natural disaster will take a long, long time to heal.

However, the common people in the secular world have the resilience of weeds. As long as they survive the hardest of times, they will continue to thrive.

Time flies, and three years have passed in a flash.

Qing’an County, Wang Mansion.

It is already the beginning of spring. The peach blossoms outside the window are quietly blooming with a pretty smile, and a few sparrows are chirping and making noise.

In the study, Wang Chen has just finished painting a picture of 鈥淧each Blossoms and Sparrows Playing in Spring鈥� when Ye Dai enters, holding a porcelain cup.

She said with a smile, 鈥淗usband, the black chicken ginseng soup I just made is ready. You should drink it while it’s still hot.鈥�

Wang Chen put down his pen and said, 鈥淥kay.鈥�

Recently, Ye Dai has taken a liking to cooking, and she has put a lot of effort into making soup for him every day.

Ye Dai happily opened the lid of the bowl, and a burst of heat rushed up instantly.

She took a whiff of the rich chicken soup steam, and suddenly felt her chest swell up and she felt nauseous. She opened her mouth to vomit but couldn’t.

鈥淗uh?鈥�

Wang Chen was a little surprised, and quickly took his wife’s hand and sat down on the chair next to her.

鈥淚’m fine,鈥�

Ye Dai patted her chest and forced a smile, 鈥淚 don’t know what’s wrong lately, I can’t stand the smell of greasy food.鈥�

鈥淟et me take a look.鈥�

Wang Chen frowned, then took her wrist to feel her pulse.

The next moment, Wang Chen’s eyebrows spread out, revealing a joyful smile: 鈥淢y lady, we are going to have a child.鈥�

鈥淎h?鈥�

Ye Dai was suddenly confused, and it took a moment for her to come back to her senses: 鈥淗usband, husband, you’re not, you’re not joking with your concubine, are you?鈥�

鈥淚t’s the pulse of joy, that’s for sure.鈥�

Wang Chen laughed: 鈥淗ow could I possibly joke with you like that!鈥�

The two had been married for three or four years, and Ye Dai had always hoped to bear him children.

This is not a matter of carrying on the family line, but after several years of not being able to have children, outsiders would gossip about it, inevitably putting heavy pressure on her.

Although Wang Chen explained early on that because of the cultivation method, he needed to break through to a certain realm before he could have children.

But Ye Dai had no way to explain this to others, including her own father!

So this matter became a big stone weighing on her heart.

Now that she suddenly heard the good news, tears welled up in Ye Dai’s eyes: 鈥淚s it really true?鈥�

鈥淥f course it’s true!鈥�

Wang Chen gently wiped away the tears on her face, 鈥業’m sorry for the suffering you’ve endured over the past few years.鈥�

It took him three years to completely resolve this issue, and he even created a special method for it.

Today, he finally got a definite result.

鈥滻’m not suffering,”

Ye Dai buried her delicate body in Wang Chen’s arms and choked, 鈥業’m just so happy.鈥�

Wang Chen stroked her hair and felt nothing but joy in his heart.

After Ye Dai’s emotions had calmed down, just to be on the safe side, she sent someone to fetch the most famous doctor in Qing’an County, Jichun Hall, to take her pulse again.

The result confirmed that she was pregnant!

The good news quickly spread, and after Ye Xiangming found out, he immediately dropped the official documents in his hands and rode to Wang Chen’s house.

Wang Chen’s father-in-law was overjoyed and said that he would immediately arrange for an experienced old maid to take care of his daughter.

The Wang household was also filled with joy, and everyone’s faces were filled with heartfelt smiles.

Ye Xiangming originally wanted to throw a big banquet to celebrate, but Wang Chen dissuaded him 鈥� the father-in-law was obviously losing his mind.

If they really wanted to celebrate, they would wait until the child’s first month after birth.

In the days that followed, Wang Chen handed over the affairs of the county government to his subordinates.

He himself spent more time at home, accompanying his pregnant wife every day, playing the piano and painting, or composing poems and matching couplets, enjoying a happy life together.

For Wang Chen, this was undoubtedly a wonderful and fresh experience.

The experience of being a father-to-be.

In fact, this is not Wang Chen’s first time being a father. He already had a child in the Cangqing world.

But the situation in the Cangqing world was completely different from the present. In the former world, it was merely a matter of a union of interests, while now it is for the cultivation of the heart in the mortal world, so that one can experience all the events of the mortal world as a mortal.

During this time, the relationship between Wang Chen and Ye Dai was also sublimated.

As the days passed, Ye Dai’s belly grew bigger and bigger.

Wang Chen often pressed his ear against her belly to listen to the heartbeat of the fetus, while Ye Dai always lovingly covered his side of his face with the palm of her hand, her eyes full of love.

After ten months of pregnancy, the baby was born.

When Ye Dai’s pregnant belly started to contract, Wang Chen and Ye Xiangming anxiously waited outside the delivery room.

Ye Xiangming paced around, praying to the gods for safety.

Perhaps the gods really did protect them, and although it was Ye Dai’s first child, the delivery went relatively smoothly.

After a while, the two heard the sound of a baby crying from the delivery room.

Soon a midwife came out of the room and said with a smile, 鈥淐ongratulations, sir, congratulations, madam, you have just given birth to a six-jin-four-liang-weight baby girl, mother and child are safe!鈥�

鈥淕ood!鈥�

Ye Xiangming beamed with joy and immediately handed over a big red envelope: 鈥淭here’s a reward!鈥�

Wang Chen went straight into the delivery room and saw Ye Dai lying on the bed, and the baby being held by another midwife.

“Husband,鈥�

Ye Dai, looking pale, said weakly, 鈥淢y wife is incompetent, I didn’t, I couldn’t…鈥�

鈥淲hat nonsense!鈥�

Wang Chen couldn’t help laughing and holding her hand: 鈥淚 like daughters!鈥�

He knew that his wife felt guilty about having a daughter.

But for Wang Chen, having a son or a daughter made no difference at all, and in fact he did prefer daughters.

He wasn’t just saying that to comfort her.

And even if Ye Dai had a complex, the worst that could happen was that they would have more children later.

After gently comforting his wife, Wang Chen took his daughter from the midwife’s hands.

Looking at the ugly, unopened little guy in the swaddling clothes, a strange feeling welled up in his heart.

I’m a father!

In that moment, Wang Chen and the little baby in his arms felt a bond of blood.

“From now on, I’ll call you Zhen Zhen.鈥�

The peach tree is in bloom, its leaves are full!
