Thinking of the unreasonable and disruptive nature of the old lady from the Dong family, Wu Xiufang couldn't help but frown, "I feel like the registration process was too peaceful."

She seemed to have seen the old lady crying, making a fuss, and even threatening to hang herself in the nursery.

"It's okay. This matter was decided by the higher-ups. It's useless for her to make a fuss. Others are not Captain Dong, who can let her do whatever she wants. If she dares to make a fuss too much, it's not certain whether we can still live in this family compound." Jian Shu didn't think this was a problem at all.

To put it bluntly, the old lady was able to make a scene because Captain Dong, the head of the family, had no control over her. But the others were not her sons, so how could they let her do what she wanted? This was the army, not her hometown village, where she could still throw a tantrum and take advantage.

"Now that you mention it, I actually hope she makes a fuss. It would be best if she is sent back, so that the Dong family's children can have an easier time. You don't know, I saw his little girl a few days ago. She was shivering from the cold in an old, clumsy coat. She was so skinny. She was obviously four years old, but she looked only two years old. She even walked unsteadily. It was heartbreaking to see her." Wu Xiufang sighed. She was also a mother and had a daughter. It was really painful to see her like that.

But as an outsider, all she could do was give her two cookies. She didn't dare let her take them home and hide them, so she could only eat them in front of her.

Jian Shu had also met the child once, and she was pitiful. However, they were outsiders, and they could only help her temporarily, not permanently. And to be honest, she doubted whether the little girl could live a good life now that the old lady of the Dong family was gone. After all, the other children of the Dong family were not in such a situation and lived much better than her.

"Sister-in-law, if you feel bad for her, just take better care of her when she goes to the nursery. In two years, you can raise the child well." Jian Shu sighed. This is another benefit of free nurseries. If you had to pay, I'm afraid that little girl like the Dong family wouldn't have the opportunity to go.

The upper age limit for children in nursery is six years old. After six years old, they have to go to the orphanage class. After all, it is impossible for the parents to help raise the children all the time, as that would be a heavy burden.

"That's the only way. I'll take better care of them then." Wu Xiufang couldn't help but feel more caring for the future children in the nursery. How many of them were not having a good time at home?

Jianshu patted her shoulder and said, "With you here, the children will be fine." Although he couldn't help much, at least he could give them a little more warmth and a little more hope to persevere.

Apart from anything else, being able to go to school and have the opportunity to change their fate was already better than many others. In the family compound, no one dared not send their children to school, whether out of concern for reputation or other reasons. And with the military subsidies, the cost of schooling was not high.

"It's all thanks to the army, otherwise this child's life would be ruined," Wu Xiufang lamented. "Children in other places don't get this kind of treatment. I heard from those who work at the factory that they have to pay for the nursery."

"Different units definitely have different treatment." Jian Shu didn't find it strange. Factory performance varied, and employee benefits naturally varied. In this era, military benefits have always been good, but they were earned through hard work.

"The children born in the past two years have caught a good time." Wu Xiufang couldn't help but feel a little regretful when she talked about this. "It's a pity that Tiedan and the others were born a little early and didn't catch up with the good times."

"Then sister-in-law, why don't you just have another child? Then you can catch up, right?" Jian Shu winked at her with a teasing look on his face.

Wu Xiufang patted her and said angrily, "What are you talking about? I'm already so old. In two years, my eldest son will be old enough to get married. How can I put my face aside by giving birth to a little one? Aren't you ashamed?"

"No, sister-in-law, you are not even 40 years old yet. You are in the prime of your life. Why can't you have another child? As long as you want to have a child, there is nothing wrong with it?" Jianshu continued to joke.

"You're just talking nonsense!" Wu Xiufang was ashamed and angry, "You keep talking about whether to have a baby or not, why don't you just have one yourself!" She knew that Jianshu hated talking about this topic the most, so she fought back.

But Jianshu's answer was beyond her expectations.

"OK!"

Wu Xiufang was shocked, her eyes slightly widened, and she couldn't help but reach out and touch Jian Shu's forehead, "You don't have a fever, why did you suddenly change?"

Jian Shu was speechless and slapped her hand away angrily. "I'm not sick, can't that mean I've figured it out? Besides, giving birth is normal, what's so strange about it?"

"Other people are normal, but you're not," Wu Xiufang shook her head. Honestly, Jianshu was the most unique person she knew, his ideas completely different from the average person's.

Jianshu: ...

What image does she have in her mind?

"Are you serious? You're not kidding?" Wu Xiufang leaned in front of her to confirm.

Jian Shu nodded unhappily. "Really? Why would I lie to you about this?" Why were they all like this? What if Gu Mingjing did the same thing someday? How many times would she have to repeat herself?

Originally, she wanted to tell Meng Ying about it so that she wouldn't keep worrying about it. But now forget it. She didn't want to keep explaining this on the phone. She would rather wait until there was good news before telling them.

"That's great! Send your child to me after he's born. I promise to take good care of him!" Wu Xiufang rubbed her hands together excitedly. Then she thought of something else and said, "Oh, that's not right. Even if you have a child, you will definitely take care of it yourself. I don't think you will send it to a nursery. There will be no room for me to do anything."

No matter how good a daycare center is, it's still just one person looking after a bunch of kids, and it definitely doesn't offer the same level of care and attention she brings. Others might send their kids there for free, but based on her understanding of Jianshu, that's unlikely.

"We don't even have a baby yet, and you're already thinking so far ahead." Jian Shu was a little amused. But he was still very touched by Wu Xiufang's kindness.

According to her plan, she would definitely take care of the child herself after it was born, and then send the child to a nursery when the college entrance examination resumed and she could go to school. However, she would definitely take the child back to Beijing with her by then, so Wu Xiufang's kindness would ultimately be wasted.

"No, time flies so fast, it's over in the blink of an eye. We have to plan early. Things like baby diapers have to be prepared early. You are young and inexperienced, and you don't know the tricks. I suffered a lot back then." Wu Xiufang began to impart her experience to Jianshu very enthusiastically.

From the precautions during pregnancy to what to prepare after the baby is born, everything is covered in detail.

Jianshu listened carefully and decided to look for some books about preparing for pregnancy and raising children. She had no experience and could only learn scientific parenting from books.

There is also space for the baby's milk powder, bottles, diapers and other miscellaneous items, but there needs to be an excuse to take them out.

If there is really no other way, she can only confront Gu Mingjing. After all, she does not plan to breastfeed. After the baby is born, milk powder will definitely be the main part, as well as diapers and other things. She doesn't want to wash diapers.

Thinking about these things, Jianshu felt a little annoyed. It was really troublesome!

Forget it. It’s still almost two years before the baby is born. Let’s talk about it later.

Jianshu chooses to open.
