Chapter 138 Children's Issues

"I think it's better to let nature take its course. The minimum age is 30. Everyone says it's dangerous for a woman to have a baby at 30. It's hard for every woman to have a baby, but 30 seems to have a dangerous label. We should avoid risks if we can...

If you still have concerns, we can raise one when we are older. There are so many children without parents, so it would be a good thing to do. "

Shi Qingqing was so surprised that she almost sat up.

Zhao Fengnian, are these what you really think?

Putting aside the knowledge she has in the dream, is there really a man who doesn't mind if his wife doesn't want to have children?

It's not a blind marriage or a forced sale.

Zhao Fengnian smiled bitterly. What else could he do? "I married you because I liked you first, not because I wanted to have a child.

To be honest, I really hope that the fruit of our love will come into this world sooner. Who doesn't want to be a father? But I don't even have a house. How can I ask you to stop and give birth to a child for me when you are making the most money?

Even if we don't have any good elders to help us, and we can only rely on the two of us, we can't focus on raising children because of the economy. If we lose money to raising children, how can we raise children?

Let me tell you, Qingqing. When I was working outside, I heard people say that many people don't breastfeed now and drink milk powder. An average baby can drink two cans in a month. The price of one can is not low. There are also some imported nutritious oils.

Aren't you in the coastal area? The economy is much better than ours. We often have imported food coming in to sell, such as Lusong, Malay, and Tailand. Guangdong Province is so developed, and there are still many people who want to do business with Lion Clothing and Cloth Shops. There are many rich people.

In addition, since they can only have one child, those families who abide by the rules treat their children as treasures and take good care of them. They must have worked hard at the starting line. If we don’t want our children to have a hard life like us in the future, we must build a good family.

So I'm telling you the truth, Qingqing, I want a child, but I'm not in a hurry.

Moreover, it is no longer the era of our parents where the factory was our home and the children’s growth and the elderly’s upbringing depended on it. In the past, female workers in a large factory could entrust their babies to the nursery run by the factory. Now, how many people still do this?

Everything is changing. I am an ordinary farmer's child, with nothing. Why should I stay the same? When the master on the throne asks for me, give me what I want? What kind of man is he who only knows how to ask for his hand? "

Zhao Fengnian's speech was very long, and the core of his speech was his desire for a child, but he was really too sincere, and he always did what he said. Shi Qingqing did not make any plans just because he did not agree with her decision not to have a child at the first time.

Blind obedience and foolish filial piety are not right.

But is it right to only care about my own feelings?

Two eras, two extremes, both actually have some problems.

If she and Zhao Fengnian could just be like they are now, talking things out calmly when encountering problems instead of using force to force people to submit, they would already be better than many families.

However, Shi Qingqing has a different view on the milk powder issue: "In fact, more people here think that if they don't feed their babies with breast milk, they should at least drink goat's milk... Do you think we are very wealthy here? It feels like the words are exaggerating our economy here."

"Well, how should I put it? There are rich and poor people everywhere, but your village is the first one I've seen where many of the buildings are built like palaces. And one of the most amazing things about you is that the overseas Chinese who get rich first will definitely come back to drive the development of their relatives, even if it's..."

Zhao Fengnian almost talked about the Chen family.

He hastily changed the subject. "Even if they are not very close, they will help the younger generation. Moreover, they are brave and hardworking. There is also a maritime transportation hub. Isn't your Quancheng the starting point of the Silk Road? In ancient times, they could go out to sea to do great things. It will only be better in the future."

As for the image of a hardworking person, aren’t you one of them, my wife?

"The last point is!" Zhao Fengnian said. "Regions that are known for their tolerance and creativity in food will not be too bad economically."

Shi Qingqing suddenly asked him to get up.

Why are you getting up?

"Aren't you thirsty after saying so much?"

Zhao Fengnian smiled innocently, as if he was a little thirsty.

He got up, drank a sip of water and lay down again.

Now that our family has money, we have two more thermoses.

There are pre-washed cups with drain cups turned upside down in the room. You can use them whenever you want and just rinse them with water and put them back the next day. It is convenient, clean and hygienic.

The topic started with talking about children, and finally came to the topic of economy. Shi Qingqing felt that it was not unreasonable for a man to drink a plate of peanuts and a box of wine for half a day.

If given a little more time, I wonder if Zhao Fengnian would have talked about the famous historical and military channels.

Ha ha.

Shi Qingqing closed her eyes and told herself to go to sleep and not listen anymore.

Why didn’t I feel that listening to Zhao Fengnian speak was quite interesting before, even though sometimes his words were a little erratic and disorganized, and he said whatever he thought of without giving others time to react.

But... isn't this quite interesting?

Some people won't let other people's words fall to the ground when they are chatting. This is also a kind of social etiquette.

Her family member Zhao Fengnian is quite knowledgeable about etiquette.

While she was daydreaming, Shi Qingqing fell into a deep sleep without realizing it.

Zhao Fengnian lost interest in continuing the conversation and just hugged his wife to sleep.

It’s good when the weather is cold. My wife will take the initiative to snuggle into my arms. In the summer, she will complain that her body heat can be kept as far away from me as possible. In the winter, it’s the opposite.

He was so happy that he felt like a serf who had risen up and taken charge of his own destiny.

Another peaceful night passed. Shi Qingqing got up a little earlier and poured the unfinished food from yesterday into the slop bucket. Since they had decided yesterday to leave more "traces of life", there was no need to skip some steps for the sake of neatness in the future. For example, kitchen waste was previously taken to the garbage dump for disposal.

When Zhao Fengnian got up and saw it, he didn't say anything. The two of them ate the rice noodles affectionately.

This thing is not aggressive at all, but you will know how powerful it is when you eat it, especially if you don’t eat it while it’s hot. You will know how powerful it is if you leave it for a while.

Since my wife likes duck legs, the half duck that was not cooked last time in the refrigerator became duck soup for rice noodles.

I heard from my wife that a child in a certain field had to mix this stuff with bitter medicine powder.

How can you eat it? Is it for the sake of good health or to grow taller?

If the purpose was to grow taller... Zhao Fengnian thought of the heights he saw on the streets, and it didn't seem to be of much use.

Some things are still related to regional and individual differences.

No matter how much the rice noodles multiplied, they could not withstand the huge mouth of the abyss of Zhao Fengnian. Shi Qingqing put down four bundles of rice noodles, and she estimated that not even one bundle was put down. Zhao Fengnian not only ate up the remaining rice noodles, but also bought all the duck meat except the duck legs.

Shi Qingqing sometimes wondered if she spoiled him so much that he would get a big belly early.
