Chapter 234 Three Years Later

Rong Mei did not stay in Chen Fen's house for long. She just sat for a while and then got up and left.

She had never even thought about having children before.

Not to mention that this body is still young, only nineteen years old this year. If it were in the future, this would be the age when she just started college and has the best youth. Besides, she doesn't want to suddenly have an extra little thing to restrict her freedom.

But sometimes when I think about Zhou Nanxu's future, my heart would be confused for a moment, and I would even suddenly have the thought of "why don't they have a child too."

Of course, she also knew that this sudden idea was immature. Having a child was a big deal for her, even more difficult than doing business. So, she quickly killed this idea as soon as it came up.

She only stayed in Hebei Province for three days. She attended the groundbreaking ceremony in the morning and returned to Shenzhen in the afternoon.

The days passed one after another, and winter was approaching.

This also means that Zhou Nanxu has been in the border area for more than half a year.

Even the communication in Shenzhen was not well developed these days, and Zhou Nanxu was in the border area, so communication was even more difficult. In more than half a year, Rong Mei received only two letters from Zhou Nanxu.

At this moment, Rong Mei sincerely admired the difficulties faced by military wives, especially those who did not follow the army and lived apart from their husbands. In this era of underdeveloped communications, their lives were no different from being widows.

Zhou Nanxu couldn't come back, and she couldn't go for a while. It wasn't that she couldn't go, but that she wouldn't be able to see anyone even if she came.

The border line is thousands of kilometers long, with mountains, Gobi, deserts, and wastelands interspersed. The terrain is complex and the climatic conditions are extremely harsh. Once Zhou Nanxu goes on a mission, it takes at least a month to complete it.

During this period, Rong Mei also went there once, but unfortunately, after waiting at the base for half a month, she still didn't see Zhou Nanxu come back.

Spring goes and winter comes, time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is three years later - January 5, 1989.

It’s also New Year’s Eve.

Someone asked, "Arong, your Nanxu is not coming home for the New Year this year."

Liu Rong smiled awkwardly, "Well, I'm at the border. It's not easy to come back."

This is the third year that Zhou Nanxu has not returned home for the New Year.

In previous years, Liu Rong wouldn’t have thought it was a big deal, because since her son joined the army, he almost never came home to celebrate the New Year.

But now that she has a daughter-in-law, Liu Rong still looks forward to a family reunion.

The visiting woman looked around and finally fixed her sight on Rong Mei's belly. Then she leaned close to Liu Rong's ear and asked in a low voice, "You've been married for several years, right? Is there really no movement at all?"

"Mei girl is still young, she's only 21 this year, there's no rush for this matter."

Although Liu Rong felt very uncomfortable with the question asked by her aunt, she was always kind to others and still maintained a polite smile.

The son is far away in the frontier, and the couple haven't seen each other for a long time. It would be strange if the daughter-in-law was pregnant.

"Twenty-one is not young. Cuifang from Zhou Laosan's family, who was seventeen, secretly gave birth to two children. Besides, your Nanxu is almost thirty, right? Can you see any man in the village who is almost thirty and still hasn't become a father?

Ah Rong, I'm telling you, no matter how much money you make, it's useless without offspring. As a mother, you need to hurry up and make arrangements."

In the past two years, the people in the village have seen that the Zhou family is living better and better. After the two brothers returned, each of them built a large house that they had never seen in the county town, and the decoration was extraordinary.

There are naturally envious and jealous people in the village, and the aunt in front of me is extremely envious.

But in her opinion, no matter how rich they are, their descendants will not be as prosperous as those of the poor. So, God is fair. If you have one thing, you will lose something else.

Although she thought so in her heart, she still said with an attitude of "I am doing this for your own good" and continued, "Although the eldest son has a big treasure, you are just a stepmother after all. You have a big family now, so you really plan to leave all this to the big treasure instead of your own grandson?"

Seeing that her aunt was getting more and more excited, Liu Rong couldn't bear to listen any longer, so she found an excuse and went about her business.

To be honest, doesn’t Liu Rong want to have a grandson?

Of course he did think so. After all, Zhou Nanxu was almost 30 years old. Just like what the aunt said, at this age, most of the men in the village and even those in the city were already fathers.

But what's the point of her being anxious? Her son and daughter-in-law have their own ideas and plans. Whether to have a baby or not is something that the couple can discuss on their own. As a mother-in-law, even if her daughter-in-law is very close to her, she still has to have a sense of propriety and boundaries.

She couldn't ask for too much. The days she was living now were already a blessing from God.

She has her own business. Now her clothing store is not only opened in Hebei Province, but also has five stores in Kyoto. Her children also have their own careers. The eldest daughter has returned to Harbin to open a clothing store, and the eldest son has become a manager in his youngest daughter-in-law's construction company. His annual salary is not cheap, which is enough to support himself and Zhou Dabao.

Not to mention the youngest son's family. With such an capable daughter-in-law, it would be hard for this family not to become rich. Even the youngest daughter, seeing that her older brother, older sister and younger brother's families are all doing well, has quit her "iron rice bowl" and gone to the south to start a business.

Of course, this year, she and Uncle Li got their marriage certificate and now have their own partner.

This year we even rebuilt a new house.

What else is she not satisfied with?

My only wish is to wait until next year, hoping that my youngest son will not be absent, and that the whole family can have a lively reunion year...
