Chapter 1: Vita nuova

Chapter 1

Since regaining consciousness again, she had been in this dim yet extremely warm and comfortable place.

She could not speak, she could only hear some sounds from the outside world, and her limbs could only move in a small range.

She had guessed a lot before, and even waved her limbs to try to get out of here, but it all ended in failure.

After countless attempts, she was horrified to find that she seemed to be in someone's belly.

To be more precise, she was reincarnated into the womb with her memories from her previous life.

At this time, her mother in this life gently stroked her belly while gently talking to a male voice: "I have a very good pregnancy this time, the one in my belly is much more well-behaved than his older brother."

"That's good, it looks like our Xiao Ba is an understanding and filial one."

She recognized this clear and gentle male voice as her father in this life.

"He's not even born yet, how do you know so much. I just hope he will be less mischievous in the future so I will have fewer headaches." The woman's voice was gentle and happy, full of hope for the future.

"Just take it easy, the boys in our family are a bit mischievous, but they are all polite and sensible." The man said with a low laugh.

"That's right!" The woman's voice was quite happy and proud.

After a pause, she seemed to have thought of something, and was quite regretful: "It would be great if this one was a girl."

Hmm, from these words, it seems that her mother in this life does not value men over women, which is very good.

Just as she was about to wave her hands to respond to her mother, she heard her father chuckle: "If this child is a daughter, not to mention our family, even the entire Jiang Family in Xijin ferry would have to worship you."

Her mother laughed tenderly: "It's not that precious."

Her father said: "It can be even more precious. Since our Jiang Family took root here, it has been two hundred years without a girl being born."

"That's true, I've heard it before and found it unbelievable..."

Even with her memories from her previous life, the fetus's spirit was still limited. As her parents chatted lightly, she soon fell asleep again.

In her dream, it was as if she had returned to her previous life.

In her previous life, she was an orphan from the earthquake, and did not know who her parents were.

She struggled and grew up in the welfare institute, relying on her own efforts to get into the best medical university in the country at the age of 14.

During college, by a coincidence, she discovered that she seemed to have the ability to promote plant growth and communicate with animals. She was later recruited into the supernatural ability group of the state special department, under the military.

She did her bachelor's, master's and doctorate in eight consecutive years. After graduation, she became the youngest surgeon in the general hospital of a certain military region.

She worked diligently and conscientiously for several years, sending most of her savings to the welfare institute, and the rest was just enough to get by.

Life was busy but plain, and she occasionally went on missions. She thought it wouldn't be bad to live like this for the rest of her life.

But her life came to an abrupt end at the age of 27 that year.

She became "Ah Piao".

She was posthumously recognized as a "hero".

She saw her burnt body; she saw the mourning flowers in front of the kindergarten where she died;

She saw many people crying bitterly at her memorial service, including the orphanage director who raised her, her former comrades-in-arms and colleagues and friends, and many strangers.

Among them were the thirteen children she had saved and their parents.

From the limited information she had obtained so far, although the common people's lives were not rich, they were relatively stable.

It's just that there had been no rain since the drizzle last December, already three or four months.

Seeing that it was already mid-March, with spring ploughing imminent, if it didn't rain again, the common people would have a hard time this year.

These days, the family seemed to be discussing this matter, and their words were full of anxiety. A depressed atmosphere weighed heavily on everyone's hearts.

Perhaps the adults' emotions affected her, these days she also became more irritable than before, and couldn't help waving her arms and kicking her legs from time to time.

She really wanted to say, don't worry, I'm here for everything.

But thinking that she was still a lump of flesh in the womb, the arrogance that had just risen immediately deflated.

Fortunately, these frustrating days did not last long.

A few days later, one evening, the Jiang family had just finished dinner and were sitting together when they started talking about getting up early the next day to carry water and irrigate the fields.

Just then, Ms. Lu suddenly felt her skirt getting wet below, her waters had broken.

The house was suddenly in chaos.

Fortunately, the daughters-in-law of the Jiang family had all given birth to several children, and Ms. Lu herself had already had one child. After the initial panic, everyone calmed down.

Those who were supposed to go into the delivery room went in, those who were supposed to find a midwife found one, and those who were supposed to boil water boiled water.

However, there are always accidents.

Jiang Wenkang, who had gone to find a midwife, ran back in a panic and said the midwife they had booked in advance had broken her leg that afternoon. She had gone to the clinic in town and still hadn't come back.

When the Jiang family heard this, they were at a loss.

There were only a few midwives within twenty li of this place, and each family with a woman about to give birth had booked one in advance. On this dark night, where could they go to find another midwife?

Desperate times called for desperate measures, and Ms. Hu had no choice.

Seeing her daughter-in-law in unbearable pain, she steeled herself, washed her hands, and went to deliver the baby herself, with two daughters-in-law assisting her.

Ms. Hu had given birth to three children herself, and Ms. Lu had also given birth before. They knew that in this situation, this was the only solution.

Under the guidance of her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law, and relying on her experience from her previous delivery, Ms. Lu pushed when she was supposed to push, and rested when she was supposed to rest.

The baby also very cooperatively contracted and relaxed or strived to squirm outwards along with the contractions. Finally, just before dawn,

There was suddenly a great burst of golden light in the room, instantly illuminating the entire delivery room and half the courtyard outside as bright as daylight.

Hidden within it was a swirling red lotus flower radiance, shining so brightly that people could not open their eyes.

At the same time, an extremely comfortable and fragrant scent rushed into their noses, making them feel as if they were in the lush forests and wilderness full of grass and trees.

In the cracks in the stone steps in the courtyard, the few unnamed weeds that were there originally suddenly grew wildly in the presence of this aura.

In just a few breaths, they completed an entire lifetime of growing tall, flowering, fruiting, and withering.

Not only that, the fallen seeds actually sprouted tender buds again in a very short period of time.

The big pomelo tree in the middle of the courtyard was originally full of luxuriant flowers, but in an instant it was full of fruits as large as washbasins, weighing down the branches.

The skin was slightly yellowish, and it was already ripe.

Whether it was the anxious people inside or outside the house, they were all stunned by this spectacle.

Immediately afterwards, there was a cry of pain from Ms. Lu, followed by a loud "wah" from inside the room, the loud cry of the newborn baby.
