1979: The child's mother is a celestial being.

Chapter 171 Gave Birth to a Boy (Please Subscribe!)
Yan Nanyuan, the crew of "The Man from Earth".

Nine days have passed since filming began, and now there's only one scene left!

However, with the scheduled start time for filming fast approaching, the director had yet to appear, which was unusual.

"What's going on? Hasn't Director Chen arrived yet? He should have been here by now."

"I'm wondering too. I guess something got in the way. Everyone, just get ready and we can start filming as soon as Director Chen arrives."

"Let's rehearse once first," Chen Inamori suggested.

His suggestion was met with approval from the crowd.

At this moment, Chen Kaige volunteered: "I'll call 'start' for everyone."

"Kaige, you've been waiting for this day for a long time, haven't you? Hahaha."

"Go away, I'm the assistant director. Director Chen isn't here, shouldn't I be the one to call him?"

“I’m an assistant director too,” Peng Xiaolian stepped forward.

This was just a minor incident and did not affect the rehearsals for the final scene.

……

"Professor Li, what about Li Bai, who was known for his eloquent words that could evoke half of the Tang Dynasty? Did he really know martial arts?"

"He can! And his swordsmanship is quite good. We met in Shu. He's a child who never grows up. When he has money, he'll spend it all and then come back again. When he's broke, he'll drag me out for drinks. One night, after getting drunk, he even mistook my shadow for his own and wrote, 'Raising a cup to invite the bright moon, we become three with our shadows.'"

"You've said so much, so who exactly are you? Someone who has lived for 14000 years couldn't possibly leave no trace in history, could he?"

"I've changed my name so many times that I've almost forgotten them myself. But you may have heard some of the stories, such as the person who taught people how to make fire by rubbing sticks together and how to fish with nets, or the person who tasted all kinds of herbs."

"What? You...you are Suirenshi and Shennongshi? This...how is this possible?"

"In the beginning, they were just ordinary little things, but as time went on, the stories became more and more outrageous, and even turned into myths!"

At this point, Li Sen glanced out the window. The first rays of dawn had already pierced through the clouds and reflected in his pupils. He sighed and continued, "Alright, it's dawn again. Before I knew it, I had been chatting with you all all night. You should go back and rest. I have to go too... to a different place, a different name, and to continue living."

They had just finished rehearsing when they heard a horn blare. They thought Chen Fusheng had arrived, but when they went out to check, they found it was just a car.

After getting out of the car, driver Long Qiang explained to everyone, "Director Chen's wife is about to give birth in the hospital, and he has to stay at the hospital to take care of her. He can't come today, so he asked me to tell everyone on his behalf. Also, Director Chen instructed that the two assistant directors should be in charge of filming the last scene, but remember to make sure to do a few more takes."

After the driver relayed Chen Fusheng's words, everyone in the crew immediately started discussing it.

"I was wondering why Director Chen hadn't come this morning. Turns out he's going to be a father again."

"I was just wondering if Director Chen's wife was about to give birth, and it turns out it really is."

"Anyone can be wise after the event, but I guess even Director Chen didn't expect it. Otherwise, he would have asked everyone to work overtime yesterday afternoon and filmed the final scene."

"Is it that Director Chen didn't want to shoot? It's just that the lighting wasn't good yesterday afternoon. This final scene would have been better shot in the morning."

"But now our Director Kaige is really going to get his wish."

"Hahaha……"

Meanwhile, at the hospital...

Not long after Liu Xiaoli was taken into the delivery room, the sound of a baby crying came from inside.

When I gave birth to Chen Qian, it took half an hour. Now, I guess it won't even take ten minutes to give birth to my second child.

"Come out, come out."

The crying soon stopped, and then the delivery room door opened, and the doctor came out carrying a tiny life in swaddling clothes.

The first thing they said was, "Congratulations to the family, mother and child are safe and sound!"

Upon hearing this, everyone, including Chen Fusheng, breathed a sigh of relief.

Then I was enveloped by a huge surprise.

"Let me hold my little grandson."

"Why are you in such a hurry? Let Fusheng hold the baby first." "Yes, yes, the baby's father should hold the baby first," the doctor also suggested.

Chen Fusheng reached out and took his son. The little guy was just born, and he looked adorably ugly. He suppressed his excitement and gently said, "Son, I'm your father. Can you recognize my voice?"

"He reacted."

"Fusheng, weren't you curious about what you looked like when you were a child? Now your son looks just like you when you were a child."

Chen Fusheng was 100% certain that he had never felt this kind of curiosity since he transmigrated.

But then his mother-in-law said his nose looked like his mother's...

Well, so this is a 'battle for favor' among the elders. It's best if he doesn't get involved.

The baby was quickly passed to his grandfather's arms. Old Chen played with the little guy for a bit, then asked Chen Fusheng, "Have you named your second child yet?"

"Yes, he's up. Call him Chen Guo."

"Chen Guo, Cheng Guo, not bad, this name sounds nice and has a good meaning. You can also call her Guo Guo as a nickname."

"Yes, Dad, that's what I was thinking at the time."

"Little Guoguo, I am your grandpa. You must grow up safely and healthily."

After his grandfather finished holding him, the little guy went back into his father's arms. As usual, only the father was allowed to enter the delivery room next.

"Honey, thank you for your hard work."

"This time was fine, I was able to give birth to Guoguo without much difficulty."

Chen Fusheng could actually tell that his wife was in pretty good shape, unlike how weak she was after giving birth to Qianqian last time. So he silently expressed his gratitude to the Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother of the West, and Guanyin Bodhisattva...

"Brother Sheng, let me see my son."

"Okay, I'll hold you while you watch."

"No, I want to hug him myself. Help me sit up."

Seeing that Liu Xiaoli was in good condition, the doctors and nurses nearby did not stop her and even went up to help her.

After hugging her son, Liu Xiaoli suddenly looked up at Chen Fusheng and said, "I feel like I don't need to be hospitalized this time."

"You're worried about your daughter, aren't you?"

"That's just one reason; I really feel like I don't need to be hospitalized this time."

Chen Fusheng wanted to offer some more advice, since in later generations, which woman wouldn't need to recuperate in the hospital for ten days or half a month after giving birth? But then the doctor who was delivering the baby said, "In your case, you can indeed go home to recuperate."

"Look, the doctor said so." Liu Xiaoli looked at her husband with even more confidence and anticipation.

"Okay, okay, then I'll be discharged this afternoon."

Liu Xiaoli nodded with satisfaction, and then shared the good news with her son.

"Guoguo, did you hear that? Daddy promised to pick us up this afternoon. When we get home, you'll see your sister too..."

Mentioning "older sister," Liu Xiaoli seemed to remember something and suddenly looked up and asked, "Who is Qianqian at home with?"

"Her maternal grandfather."

"Oh oh oh."

……

"Crack!"

In the afternoon, just as Chen Fusheng and his family were being discharged from the hospital, the crew of "This Man from Earth," which was filming at Peking University's Yan Nan Garden, officially decided to wrap up filming after securing the fifth take!
