Rebirth of the Little Lucky Star in the ‘80s

Little Lucky Star 1

In March, the grass grows, the warbler flies and the trees sprout, adding a touch of greenery to the whole village.

    It is the spring plowing season. In the usual noon, most people in the village have finished their morning farm work and went home to rest for a while. 

Today, many people gathered outside Shen family’s yard and looked inside curiously.

“Inhale, exhale… Yes, push! This has been for several hours, you have to hold on, you will be able to give birth to the baby, push!”

“Uh-ah!”

    Vaguely heard the noise, Fu Bao regained consciousness. She opened her eyes wide and looked left and right, and found that she was in darkness.

    Strange, where is this oneself?

    Before Fu Bao could figure out the situation, she was squeezed out by a strong force –

    “Yes, finally! Great fortune Bodhisattva blessing! I thought this child could not be born, but I did not expect a safe birth, really heavenly blessing!”  The elderly midwife excitedly picked her up and patted her bottom with a rough big hand. 

Fu Bao felt pain and started to cry reflexively.

    Why would you cry like a baby?

    Only then did Fubao react to what happened.

   She was originally a carefree little lucky star in the heavenly realm. She happen to run into the big boss of the demon world when he was chased by the heavenly soldiers and gave him a little fortune boost so that he successfully got rid of the pursuers.

As a result, she violated the rules of heaven… Then, she was ruthlessly sent to the mortal world to receive training, and only after completing the task can she go back!

    Life in the heavens is actually quite boring. She often sneaks out to play while the old lucky star is not there, and occasionally goes down in the mortal world. She knows that the earth has undergone a radical change.

Now in the 1980s, people have changed their appearances, and life is completely different from before.

    But in Heaven, except that the language has become more fashionable, nothing else has changed. It is really boring. So being demoted this time is just what she wants!

    At present, she has just been born from her mother’s womb. It is a long way to go if she wants to complete the task and return to the heavens.

    “Is the baby a boy or a girl?” The woman on the bed had just finished giving birth, her body was extremely weak, her beautiful face was pale, and she was sweating profusely, looking at the newborn expectantly.

    “It’s a girl, a beautiful girl, she looks like you!” When she heard that it was a girl, the woman was relieved, and the corners of her mouth curled up in a satisfied smile as if she had accomplished some great deed.

    She couldn’t wait to reach out her hand, “Quickly, let me see…” 

The midwife smiled and said, “Don’t be in a hurry, wait for me to wash the baby first.”

    Fubo felt herself being quickly put into a wooden basin with warm water and washed clean, her little body was gently wiped dry and wrapped in a soft cloth then passed to the woman’s arms.

    After simply cleaning up the house, the midwife lifted the worn blue curtain and went out.

    The man who had been wandering anxiously outside in the yard saw the midwife coming out, and immediately rushed up, his dark and handsome face was full of anxiety, his eyes were flushed, and he was about to cry, “Did she give birth? How’s my wife?”

    Another old lady with gray hair and a somewhat hunchback followed with the same worried and anxious look, “I seemed to have heard the baby’s cry just now. Did she already give birth?”

    Behind her, four small boys of varying heights also rushed over and surrounded the midwife. They were nervous and expectant.

    The midwife nodded cheerfully and said: “She gave birth to a baby girl. The mother and daughter are safe!”

    “What? baby girl?!”

I am a love dream

in the fragile body

of a woman.
