Chapter 1: The Mountain Village Town
An hour later, Yu Feng entered with a steaming bowl of chicken soup, saying, "Bi'er, the chicken soup is ready, drink it while it's hot." As he spoke, he poured out a bowl, approached the bedside, took a wooden spoon, blew on it, and fed it to his wife. After a moment, Yu Bi finished the chicken soup and, under Yu Feng's persuasion, went to sleep. He then tidied up the house and also went to sleep.
The child, who was being cornered, angrily said: "Chen Haitian, what do you mean? You only know how to bully me. Look at how slow Xincheng is too, why don't you say anything to him?" After saying this, he imitated the adults with a cold snort, stopped talking, and strode forward.
"Bi'er, shall we name our child Xin Cheng? What do you think?" Yu Feng said joyfully
Chen Haitian thought for a moment, often hearing the old men talk about what is here and what is not. Alright, I will wait for you then, you two hurry up!
At this moment, an elderly woman, who was the midwife, walked out of the room, calling out as she walked: "Is Yu Dalang ready? Hurry up, your wife is about to give birth."
Yu Bi looked at the adorable little creature and, with a thought, said to Yu Feng: "Brother Feng, the child does not have a name yet; please give him a name. It must not be done hastily."
In a forest, several children were playing, all around the age of ten. One of them said, "Xiao Fei, hurry up! Look at you, I told you not to eat so much. Now look at you, you run like a fat pig, all slow and sluggish."
Chen Haitian, upon hearing Yu Xincheng's words, exclaimed, "Xincheng, so you are bullying me together with Xiaofei!"
At night, the sky is overcast with dark clouds, thunder rumbles and flashes, a fierce wind blows, and rain pours down wildly from the sky
In a small cottage in a hillside village, a woman in her thirties is lying in bed, waiting for the onset of labor. Outside the house, a middle-aged man is boiling warm water by the stove; he is the woman's husband, Yu Feng
"Thank you, Madam Chen!" said Yu Dalang with a smile and gratitude, "Come, Bi'er wants to see the child."
Thus, the three little children ventured deeper into the woods. They walked for most of the day, and as the sky gradually darkened, it was about to be night. Yu Xincheng recalled what his parents had once said: that ghosts would appear at night. The thought was frightening. Are there really ghosts? Regardless of whether there are or not, it was getting dark, and they needed to return. Otherwise, what would their parents think if they found out they had come here? With this in mind, he shared his thoughts with Li Fei and the others.
I am not bullying you; rather, I am concerned about what will happen if we get separated later. This is our first time here, and to avoid any accidents, let us stick together. Our parents never allowed us to come here; we sneaked out to come here. If we are discovered, we will be scolded.
Yu Xincheng smiled from the side. Since childhood, the two of them have always been like this; Xiao Fei often bullied Xiao Tian. Seeing this, Xiao Tian, don't walk so fast, wait a moment so you don't get lost. If you do, your parents will scold you. Xiao Fei's original name is Li Fei, and they are both from this mountain village.
In the room, the midwife was busy catching the baby, breathing heavily, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans flowed down her forehead. After a short while, the sound of a baby crying echoed, "It's born, it's born!" the old woman exclaimed excitedly.
Outside the door, Yu Dalang quickly slipped into the room at the first opportunity, arriving at the bedside and gently asking: "Bi'er, you have worked hard, are you feeling better now?"
"Xincheng, Xincheng." Yu Feng's wife, Yubi, was murmuring the words "Xincheng". "May all wishes come true, a good name, Feng Ge, let’s call it Xincheng. May all wishes come true, a nice name indeed"
Day after day, year after year, spring gives way to autumn, and time passes swiftly; in the blink of an eye, ten years have gone by
"I understand," he said as he took the newly born little creature. He brought it to the bedside for his wife to see
"Yes, be gentle and be careful not to hurt the child." Aunt Chen advised.
"Well, good, good, let's go with this name. Bi'er, you must be tired too, lie down and rest for a while. I will go make some soup for you to drink." Yu Feng saw that his wife also liked it, so it was settled.
At that moment, the elderly woman approached with a broad smile and said: "Bi'er, Da Lang, congratulations to you both on the birth of a son"
"En." Yu Bi replied softly, "Brother Feng, I want to see our child."
Hehe, indeed, let me think about this. After Yu Feng finished speaking, he fell silent and began to ponder...
Alright, alright, Yu Feng replied excitedly, as his wife was about to give birth, facing the prospect of his own upgrade. Any man would feel thrilled and excited. He hurriedly brought the warm water he had prepared to the elderly woman, and then anxiously waited outside the door, pacing back and forth from time to time.
