Jiang Mengxue was a little reluctant to trouble others.

Cars are very valuable in this era. People would not lend bicycles to others easily, let alone cars.

If something goes wrong along the way, there will be no place to get compensation.

"Why bother with that? If that doesn't work, just go to the county hospital and stay in for two days before giving birth. You can come back right after you give birth. It's close, so it's convenient to go back and forth."

In fact, it is possible to give birth at home. Jiang Mengxue knows her own body very well, and giving birth will not be difficult.

But to be more at ease, it is better to go to the hospital to give birth.

Cooking on a wood stove is quick, and meals are ready in less than an hour.

There is no need to eat indoors in this weather. We can just move the table to the yard and put it in the shade where it will be a bit cool with a little breeze.

The north is different from the south. The heat in the south is stuffy and there is nowhere to escape. Even if you are indoors or under the shade of a tree, you will still feel very stuffy and your body will feel sticky.

But in the summer in the north, no matter how strong the sun is or how high the temperature is, it won’t be too hot as long as you don’t stand in the sun and stay in the shade.

Jiang Mengxue has lived in both the north and the south, and doesn't like the humidity and heat in the south.

Gu Zhenjiang took out the wine he had been collecting and drank a few glasses with Jiang Youfu.

Both of them can drink quite well, and they won't get drunk after just a few glasses of wine.

"Brother Jiang, Xiaoxue told me that her brothers are now working in the county. They work for the cannery that just expanded this year?"

Gu Zhenjiang had heard of this matter before.

He also knows Xu Ming.

Last year, when Xu Ming and his wife went to the Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine for a check-up, they went to say hello to Gu Zhenjiang before leaving.

"Yes, the eldest brother was assigned to the meat canning workshop. He usually just cuts fish meat, and he can't do any real technical work.

The second and third brothers are in the fruit canning workshop, helping to process the fruit, so it's even easier."

In fact, they have only been canning fruits here for a few months.

After the fruit is off the market, the cannery will start making canned meat.

"Not bad, not bad. I've heard Xu Ming say before that their cannery is doing very well.

In the past two years, they have started to expand their workshops, and in a few years they may also expand employee housing.

If you behave well in the next few years, you might be able to get a house in a few years. Then the whole family can move to the county, and it will be more convenient for the children to go to school and find jobs."

Gu Zhenjiang didn't make his words very clear, but he got the point across.

However, this matter is still just a plan from the higher-ups and has not yet developed to that stage, but it is only a matter of time.

Jiang Youfu didn't show it on his face, but he took the words to heart.

Who doesn’t live for the better future of their children?

Several of my sons now work in factories, have obtained urban household registration, and eat commercial grain. This is a great thing for future generations.

In the future, my grandchildren will be able to move to the city, go to school, work, get married.

That is something that changed future generations.

Gu Zhenjiang has a good impression of the people from the Jiang family and is willing to say a few more words. If he were an ordinary person, he would not say such things.

Gu Zhenjiang has been in the city for so many years. Not to mention his colleagues and friends, he also has many comrades who fought with him back then.

Some of my classmates now have good jobs in counties or cities.

We have kept in touch over the years, although not often, but we still inform each other if there is anything happening at home.

When they meet, they will inform each other of some unimportant news.

Although Gu Zhenjiang is now in the countryside, he often goes to the county or the commune, and he knows a lot of news.

"Brother Gu is now retired and at home. If he has nothing to do, he can come to our Taoyuan Brigade to visit.

You've worked in the city for many years, and we rural people don't know much about development. If you have time, you could give us some guidance."

Rural people naturally have the impression that city dwellers are all very knowledgeable.

"Hey, I don't know anything about this. You've been team leaders for many years and you all have experience. I won't try to teach you about this."

Gu Zhenjiang used to work in the Education Bureau. He can say a few words about education work, but other management work is really beyond his ability.

Jiang Youfu knew about Gu Zhenjiang’s previous job and asked about related matters.

"The primary school in our team has had quite a few students in the past two years. As people's living conditions have improved, they also want their children to learn more words.

But the resources in our school really can’t keep up.

The principal went to a city school before and heard that there are some free reading places in the city schools where you can read books without paying. Can our country kids go there?"

Even though Jiang Youfu was the team leader and knew a few words, he didn't have much experience in the city.

It's rare for someone in their countryside to get out and see the world, and they'll tell everyone about it when they come back.

If it were this Gu Zhenjiang, there would be something to say.

“You can go to bookstores in the city to read books, but you need a library card to borrow books, and you can only read them for free in the store.

But you can go to a second-hand bookstore and buy a lot of books by the pound. The school can also open a free library so that students can read books there when they have nothing to do and see the outside world. "

Jiang Mengxue agreed with this point. Many children have never read any extracurricular books in their lives and have never had the opportunity to do so.

Many common short stories in books can attract them.

Jiang Youfu didn't quite understand it, but he knew without much thought that it would cost money.

Although their team's current conditions are good, it is difficult to spend much money to buy books that are not of much use, and others will not agree.

"I'll go back and discuss this with the school principal. I don't know much about this either."

Gu Zhenjiang knew that this was not something that could be done just by someone saying it.

Whenever it comes to spending money, you have to consider whether it is worth it.

What can I bring to everyone by spending this money to buy some books?

If there is nothing to gain, no one will naturally want to spend the money.

"Come and drink, Erhe should drink some too."

Gu Zhenjiang also poured a glass for Erhe.

Erhe could drink quite a bit, so he picked up his glass and toasted Gu Zhenjiang.

"Second uncle, I toast you."

Gu Zhenjiang showed appreciation on his face, not bad, not bad.

Nowadays, many young people don’t have the courage to talk when drinking with their elders.

Jiang Youfu was also very pleased because Erhe was the second child in the family.

With his elder brother supporting him, he doesn't have to worry about anything at home and has always been a non-committal person.

But since Da He went to the army and left, everyone realized that Er He was a capable person. Although he was not easy to talk to, he was a mature and steady person.
