During this era, the country did not implement family planning. In fact, it allowed and encouraged people to have more children to increase the population and add population and strength to economic development and social construction.

Contraceptive measures and conditions are also imperfect, and coupled with the traditional concepts of "more children, more blessings" and "raising children to provide for old age", every household has many children.

Moreover, prices are low and people's quality of life is generally poor. Apart from having enough food, drink and clothing, they basically have no additional needs. A salary of a few dozen yuan is enough to support seven or eight people.

We all live in company-provided housing, which is close to work, so we don’t have to spend a lot of money on buying a house or a car.

It is completely different from the later generations, where children are provided with milk powder, diapers, education, medical care, daily necessities, training, RVs, betrothal gifts and dowries from the moment they are born...

The total cost is an astronomical figure, and most families simply cannot afford all the expenses of two children at the same time.

Therefore, most families have only one child, and at most they will have two children. Three or four children are rare, not to mention seven or eight children.

Jianshu was born in the era of family planning. She did not agree with Sister Liu's idea of ​​having more children. After all, she was taught to "have fewer children but better quality" since she was a child. She could not accept having a large number of children and then only being able to feed and drink them while all their other needs were not met.

In addition, with the change of ideas in later generations, people completely disagree with the view that women should give birth to children.

Every woman has the freedom to have children. Even if she gives birth in the future, it can only be because she wants to, not because others ask her to.

However, although Jianshu disagrees with many of Sister Liu's views, she will not refute anything.

After all, living in this era, it is normal for thoughts to be influenced by society and restricted by the times. After all, only a small number of people can break free from the constraints of the times.

The fact that Sister Liu could say such heartfelt words to her showed that she treated her as one of her own and cared about her.

That's why I passed on the experience I gained in life to Jianshu, hoping that she could take fewer detours and not get hurt and regret it later.

Jianshu has no way to refute someone who cares about her, but as a mature person, she will not be shaken by her own ideas.

"Sister, I understand, but this kind of thing can't be rushed. I have to take my time to choose. But don't worry, I will definitely listen to what you say." Jian Shu said confidently.

Since there is no way to refute and no way to agree, Jianshu can only use the tactic of procrastination.

After saying this, Jianshu sighed in his heart, alas!

I was happily wandering in the sea of ​​melons, but I didn't expect the fire to burn me. If I had known, I would have pretended to sleep, and I wouldn't be like this now.

I really want to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible. No, I want to stay away from Sister Liu who is keen on matchmaking.

Of course, this was just a thought. She couldn't teleport, nor did she have the ability to burrow into the ground. There was still some time before she had to go to work. She had no choice but to sit here stiffly and listen to Sister Liu's "life experience" and disguised urging to get married.

I don’t know if all middle-aged women have a hobby of matchmaking. Since she turned eighteen, many aunts, uncles, and cousins, including but not limited to Sister Liu, have mentioned it to her.

Of course, Jianshu always brushed her off, after all, she hadn't had enough of being single.

How nice it is to be alone. You can roll around in bed however you want without worrying about anyone snatching the quilt from you.

There is no need to deal with troublesome relationships between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, sister-in-law and sister-in-law, sisters-in-law and other trivial matters that give people a headache just by hearing about them.

I originally thought that since I had agreed to it, this matter should be over in a short time.

It had happened before, but every time Sister Liu saw Jianshu looking at her with a flattering expression, even though she knew she was just being perfunctory, she would only poke her forehead affectionately and sigh helplessly. Then Jianshu would be able to have a period of peace and quiet.

But this time Jianshu's wishful thinking was wrong. Sister Liu had been treated perfunctorily so many times, and this time she was not going to be allowed to get away with it again.

"Since you're planning on finding a partner, you should at least get in touch with people first. How can you choose someone slowly if you never leave the house?

It just so happens that there's a social gathering at our department store this weekend. You can go sign up and attend. There will be a lot of people attending the social gathering, so you can take your time to choose. "Sister Liu made a good move.

Jianshu's face froze instantly. She had never expected Sister Liu to do this. If she had known, she would not have let go.

And, a sorority? Could it be the sorority Lily mentioned at noon? She's pretty well-informed.

However, Jianshu didn't have time to think about these things for the time being. She had to find a way to make Sister Liu give up the idea.

"Sister, isn't this a bit too fast? I'm not ready yet." Jian Shu glanced at Sister Liu cautiously and said softly.

Sister Liu asked back, "How can it be fast? You're just about to find a partner, and there's a social gathering. What a coincidence! Maybe you can find the right person this time. A perfect match."

Besides, what preparations are there for finding a partner? Do you have to bathe, burn incense, and fast for three days? If you meet the right person, just go for it. Why bother preparing?

Every time I introduced you to a blind date or asked you to attend a social gathering, you declined, saying that you were still young and didn't plan to date for the time being.

But do you know how inconvenient it is to be alone? Just like this time when you burned your hand and it was inconvenient, there was no one to help you, and you had to cook and wash clothes by yourself.

If you find a partner, for example, if you injure your hand, won't you have someone to help you?"

Jianshu couldn't deny what Sister Liu said. Finding a partner to help? She should have more things to do, right? How many men these days would help with housework? Who wouldn't just be a hands-off uncle at home?

Of course, she couldn't say this to anyone. After all, that's the way the world is. Even if she did, others would only think it was her problem.

"Sister, I remembered that I have something to do this weekend and don't have time to attend the social gathering. Let's forget it. I'll wait until next time. I will definitely attend next time?" Jian Shu was not willing to give in and was ready to struggle again.

Sister Liu knew what she was thinking. "Something's wrong? Who told me a few days ago that I should rest at home for the weekend? Did I remember it wrong?"

Jianshu was a little annoyed. She had forgotten what she had said two days ago, but she didn't expect that Sister Liu still remembered it.

She regretted it deeply. Why did she say that when she had nothing better to do? Now, she had shot herself in the foot.

At this point, Jianshu could only play dumb, "Who? Who said that? Why didn't I hear it?"

However, she also knew that she probably couldn't escape this time, but she still had to struggle. She couldn't just surrender.

Maybe Sister Liu was so confused that she let her get away with it?
