Wang Qiufen can be considered a good mother-in-law, but she lives in this era after all, her thinking is influenced by it, and her views on having grandchildren must be those of the older generation.
Lu Cheng said proudly, "I just said that I was injured while racing and it would affect my offspring. Whether I have children in the future is up to fate.
This way, no matter whether we have children or not, or how many children we have, mom won’t have to say a word, and it will be settled once and for all.”
Qin An Ning opened her mouth, not knowing what to say. At this moment, her eyes felt a little hot, and a warm current flowed through her heart.
People's minds are not so open nowadays, and men who cannot have children will be ridiculed and discriminated against.
Otherwise, why would the man next door refuse to speak a word to defend his wife even though he knew he had a problem?
Although they both knew that this was just an excuse, others didn't know.
Those unpleasant words will always follow Lu Cheng until they have children a few years later, or even if they have children, it may not be able to stop other people from gossiping.
Lu Cheng was considering her, so she couldn't ignore Lu Cheng's feelings.
"How about we just say we can't have kids during school and wait until we finish school.
By then I'll be 22 and ready to have a baby."
Lu Cheng refused nonchalantly, "No need. If you do that, they will urge you to have a second child after you have one. The idea of having many children means more blessings is deeply rooted in their minds and cannot be changed.
Instead of getting upset at that time, it is better to use my words. When the time comes, when we give birth to a mother, we will feel that it is the spirit of our ancestors appearing.
I don't care what others say. Besides, we won't have much time to go back to the village in the future. Once we bring our grandparents back, we can bring our parents out too, and then we won't have to listen to those people's nonsense."
After saying that, Lu Cheng glanced at Qin An Ning and said in a negotiating tone, "Ning Ning, I want my parents to come with us..."
Qin An Ning reached out and covered his lips, stopping him from saying anything more. "You raised me when I was little, and I'll take care of you when you're old. This is the most beautiful promise in life, and the most touching cycle of life.
My eldest brother is in the army, so if my parents follow him, we will face many problems such as housing, living habits, etc.
Although my second brother and his wife are both working now, it will take a long time for them to get a share of the house.
Besides, their salaries are fixed and their conditions are much worse than ours.
Parents have worked hard all their lives, and when they get old, as sons, we want to give them a better life. There is nothing wrong with that.
Supporting parents is the obligation of children. I understand and support you."
Lu Cheng hugged Qin An Ning tightly, feeling deeply moved. "Thank you, wife."
Many people are unwilling to live with their parents because issues such as living habits can cause a lot of friction.
Especially as parents get older, more and more effort is required from them.
Many people would rather give more money, thinking that they have fulfilled their filial piety, but in fact what the elderly need is the company of their children.
Men are careless and many things in life still have to be taken care of by women.
So Qin An Ning agreed without hesitation, and Lu Cheng was really touched.
"When your father comes back, we will also provide for his retirement."
The last time Qin Anning came back from Jinshi, she told Lu Cheng that Qin Zhen was still alive.
Lu Cheng was also happy for her because there was one more person who loved her.
Qin Anning nodded gently in Lu Cheng's arms. She also hoped that her father would come back safely.
Lu Cheng's stomach growling broke the warm atmosphere between the couple. Qin An Ning pushed him and said, "Hurry up and eat."
"Wife, whatever you want to eat, I will make it for you."
Qin An Ning shook her head. "An An and I had tea this afternoon, so I'm not hungry at all. You can make whatever you want to eat."
When Lu Cheng heard that Qin An Ning was not hungry, he didn't want to do anything anymore. He could eat anything.
"Then I'll just cook some noodles with chicken soup. Wife, you can have some chicken soup too!"
"OK."
Nothing happened that night. The next day, Qin An Ning wanted to ask about Qin Ruyue's situation, but before she could leave the house, someone from the research institute came to find her and asked her to come over.
The first phase of the project has been completed, and she won't have to participate in the rest for the time being, so she has already agreed with Deputy Director Niu to give her a holiday so that she can concentrate on the formula of the brain disease drug. Why did he go back on his word just one day later?
But she had a lot of questions, and the person who came was just a messenger, and he didn't know anything about anything she asked. She had no choice but to go to the research institute.
"Xiao Qin, you're here just in time. Come with me." Deputy Director Niu came out of the laboratory in a hurry, taking off his white coat as he walked.
Qin Anning was confused. He quickly followed and couldn't help asking, "Deputy Director Niu, where are you going?"
Niu Jiancheng paused and tilted his head to look at Qin Anning, "You didn't get into any trouble, did you?"
She asked this question as if she was the cause of trouble.
When had she ever gotten into trouble?
Qin Anning rolled her eyes and said angrily, "Yesterday was a day off. I was with my friends and went to the department store to buy some clothes. What kind of trouble could I have caused?"
Niu Jiancheng also felt that his previous question was problematic, and he coughed dryly to make amends, "I just wanted to ask you first, just in case anything happens so I can come up with a plan in advance."
"You haven't told me what you wanted me to do."
This time, Niu Jiancheng didn't hesitate and said directly, "It's the leader above who wants to see you."
Why does the leader want to see her?
Qin Anning had many questions in her mind, but seeing that Niu Jiancheng seemed to know nothing, she didn't waste her efforts.
You'll know when you get there. She didn't do anything wrong, so there's nothing to be afraid of.
On the way, Qin Anning was still in the mood to discuss the issues of the project with Niu Jiancheng and put forward some of her insights.
The car drove all the way to the functional department. After the guard registered and informed the person, a secretary went downstairs in person to pick him up.
The secretary placed two cups of steaming tea in front of the two men, then said with a smile, "The minister is in a meeting. Please wait a moment. Call me if you need anything."
The two of them thanked him politely and sat on the chairs waiting.
Qin An Ning even picked up the teacup and sipped the tea, which made Niu Jiancheng so angry that he glared at her.
When did this poor student become so calm? He's not worried at all and even in the mood to drink tea.
On the contrary, he was very nervous because he didn't know what he wanted from them.
He wouldn't be afraid if it was him who was being approached, but he was afraid that Qin Anning, young and impulsive, would get into trouble because of his carelessness.
But Xiao Qin said that she did nothing, so he didn't know how to help even if he wanted to.
Niu Jiancheng's uneasiness did not last long. After about half an hour, the minister's meeting was over and the secretary came over and politely invited the two to his office.
Minister Yu is a very friendly person. He did not put on airs when he met Niu Jiancheng and Qin Anning and was very approachable.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting."
