Chapter 1: A Thunderclap

  Huh? It's a bit warm, where am I again? (Why did I say "again"; go take a look at the prologue, kids, there are many foreshadows of this article) I'm so sleepy, my head is remembering something and it's all messy.

  "Wife, counting down the days, you're going to give birth in a few days. I'll go discuss with your dad and find a car to send you to the hospital."

  Wife? Whose wife is giving birth? Ugh, I'm so sleepy, can't even open my eyes. Whatever, I'll just sleep for a bit.

  ...and it's been 7 days again...

  October 6, 1976, in the evening, in a delivery room of a certain maternity hospital in Beijing.

  "Come on, use a bit more strength, big sister, use a bit more..."; A certain maternity hospital in Beijing's delivery room is getting a bit anxious, the expectant mother has been here since 5 o'clock and it's almost been 4 hours now, outside the sky has started to turn gloomy from being sunny.

  At this time, the most anxious ones were also Liu Guoqing, who was about to become a father outside the delivery room, and Liu Guoli, who was about to become an aunt. Even Liu Dongfang, who was executing an important task in Beijing and was about to be upgraded to grandfather, was somewhat restless.

  A brilliant flash of lightning cut across the sky outside, making people's eyes ache, and then the rumbling thunder shook several anxious people's eardrums. Large raindrops fell obliquely on the banana leaves in the courtyard, producing a sound that was both thrilling and soothing, like large and small pearls falling onto a jade plate.

  "It's born, it's born, a boy!" The young nurse hastily pushed open the delivery room door to report the good news to Liu's siblings.

  "I'm going to be a dad, I have a son!" At this time, Liu Guoqing held his sister's hand and was excited like a child.

  "Brother, let's go take a look at my nephew quickly." Liu Guoli said with a few words of reason, looking at her overjoyed brother.

  "Uh-huh, I'll go take a look now..." Liu Guoqing said, and then he forgot to thank the nurse as he rushed to see his son.

  "Brother, why is this kid so ugly? He doesn't look like you or your wife at all! His eyes aren't even open yet, is he sleeping? He's already a little lazybones!" Liu Guoli stared at her newborn nephew with great curiosity.

  "All newborns are like this, they'll be fine in a couple of days." Little Treasure's mom, Zhu Wenhua, the great benefactor of the Liu family, spoke with a hint of weakness.

  "Is that so, sister-in-law? I've never seen such a small child before, haha, it's really delightful."

  Huh? Who's hugging me? It's really uncomfortable. Doesn't he know it's impolite to disturb someone while they're sleeping? I hate this! As soon as I shouted, I felt something was off!

  "Wow, wow, wow..."

  "Oh dear sister, I haven't even held my son yet and you've already made him cry. Come quickly and give me back my baby. You hurry up and rest with your sister-in-law."

  Dad? I'm confused, wasn't I just drinking with my father-in-law? What's going on here? Didn't you bring me back to life? Liu Shuangxi struggled to open his eyes. Ah! This is really my dad! So young! Dad, it's been 27 years since we last saw each other, from '98 when you and mom had that car accident... do you know how much I've missed you? Liu Shuangxi was so excited that he wanted to speak again, but all that came out was another burst of sobbing.

  "Alright, alright, brother, don't hold him either, just put him back in my sister-in-law's arms. Neither of us looks like we know how to coax a child. By the way, have you guys thought of what to name my nephew?" Liu Guoli saw that her big brother had also made the child cry and couldn't help but laugh.

  "Haven't thought of one yet, I was going to let your dad think of it, but he seems to have an important task to attend to these two days, let's wait another two days, until he's done with his business, your aunt thinks so too." Liu Guoqing, a new father, gently placed his son in front of his wife.

  At this time, Liu Shuangxi had already figured it out. The thing his father-in-law said before that could bring him back to life without violating the heavenly rules was actually letting him be reborn before becoming Zhao's son-in-law. It turned out that there were loopholes in the rules, haha! What could be better than having a complete family again and being by his mother's side? A happy life would start from today. Shuangxi thought about it and fell asleep again.

  "Brother, it seems like my little nephew has fallen asleep. What's Dad been busy with these days? We haven't seen him for several days." At that time, Liu Guoli was not yet 18 years old, and seeing her little nephew being born made her excitedly chirp like a little sparrow.

  "Guo Li, this is outside, if there's something, don't ask randomly, and can't talk randomly, be careful or Dad will hit you." Liu Guoqing knew the nature of his own grandfather's work, so he naturally didn't dare to discuss anything in public gatherings, even though these two days his wife was about to give birth and was busy with her feet kicking her back, but could still feel the tense atmosphere in Beijing recently.

  "Alright, little sister, I'll stay at the hospital with your sister-in-law. It's getting late, you go home first and come back tomorrow morning. It would be best if you could bring some chicken soup to help your sister-in-law recover. And remember to keep your mouth shut for the next two days." Liu Guoqing's expression softened a bit, but he still reminded little sister of a few things.

  "Oh, then I'll head home first, brother and sister-in-law, you two should rest early too." Liu Guoli knew she had made a mistake, hung her head low and started pretending to be a good girl again.

  "Okay, hurry back now, be careful on the road. There's still some money in the drawer of the dinner table at home, you see what's not enough and buy some more to bring over. Your sister-in-law will probably have to stay in the hospital for another two days." Liu Guoqing also began to calm down from the joy of seeing his son, after all, he had been busy for half a day.

  In the middle of the night, Liu Guoqing and Zhu Wenhua, a couple, saw that their son had fallen asleep, so they also took some time to rest.

  The next morning, before 6 o'clock, when the sky was just brightening up, Old Master Liu Dongfang hurriedly came to the hospital, took a look at his sleeping grandson, and left without staying for more than 5 minutes. He instructed two things: First, something big had happened in the country. Second, don't rush to give the grandson a name, wait until he's busy for two days and then talk about it.

  Grandpa just left, and our protagonist Liu Shuangxi woke up, as if he wanted to talk, but in the end it was another burst of crying, which kept Liu Guoqing and Zhu Wenhua, who had just become parents, busy.

  On this side, watching his parents busy over there, Liu Shuangxi was also sulking, wasn't it just wanting to say a word? But the newborn baby's soft palate or tongue tie is too short, even if he's a genius, he can't speak as he wants. Brother Shuangxi felt helpless and could only turn his head and continue sleeping.

  At the time when Liu Guoqi was sleeping, his sister-in-law Liu Guoli brought hot chicken soup to visit her. Not long after, Liu Guoqiang's friends and Zhu Wenhua's classmates came to the hospital one after another to see us, and our big man Liu finally arrived.

  Liu Guoqing saw that so many people had come, and he knew that his talkative sister must have spread the news. He glared at her, and Liu Guoli hastily went to attend to her sister-in-law. As friends arrived, from a few people in the know in the four-nine city, Liu Guoqing also heard one or two sentences: something big had happened, it was an earth-shaking joyful event for the Chinese nation.

  However, this has nothing to do with our Double Happiness brother for the time being. If you listen carefully, you can still hear a few snorts from Double Happiness brother.
