In the spring of '68, Yuan Chun gave birth to a big healthy son, named Liu Xiayi, with the nickname Da Bao.
Cheng Fang asked the village carpenter to make a small cart and a baby bed and placed them in the health clinic. Every day, Yuan Chun pushed her son to work.
In the winter of '69, Yuan Chun gave birth to a second son, named Cheng Dongjin, with the nickname Er Bao.
Cheng Fang felt sorry for his wife's hard work. He stopped taking long trips and applied to become a mechanic for the transport team, going to work there during the day and cycling back to Xiaxi Village after work to help his wife take care of the children and do housework.
In '72, Yuan Chun gave birth to a baby girl, named Liu Shuangshuang, with the nickname Xiao Bao.
After having both a son and a daughter, Cheng Fang couldn't bear the thought of his wife suffering the pain of childbirth again, so he secretly went to the hospital and got a vasectomy.
