"I didn't sleep well and now my head hurts!" Tian Tian said coquettishly to Gu Zhao.
"You can go back to sleep later!" Gu Zhao also whispered to Tian Tian, "We won't get up to eat tonight!"
They finish their meal around two o'clock, so they don't feel hungry even if they don't eat at night.
"Tian Tian is finally married. If she doesn't get married soon, no one will want her when she's too old!" They finished their meal, and Shugen and Caogen went out. The women left in the room were more talkative, and everyone finally had the mood to chat. It was a pity that as soon as they opened their mouths, they said something unpleasant.
Tian Tian is 26 years old this year, which is indeed considered an older girl at this age. However, Tian Tian has just graduated for half a year and does not feel how old she is.
"I think it's the perfect time to get married. I've found a job and don't have to worry about how I'm going to live after marriage. Having children in the future will also give them a good living environment. I'm very satisfied with this situation." Tian Tian said sincerely.
Although she doesn't have a car now, she has a house and savings, so she is very confident and can enter into a marriage with peace of mind.
If one gets married casually when she has nothing and no ability to withstand risks, then if something goes wrong, she really has no ability to take responsibility and it is easy for her to develop a habit of relying on others.
Once you habitually rely on others, you will suffer a lot if you want to be independent. Tian Tian doesn't want to suffer that, so she has to make herself independent first.
"The students studying in this city are different from us. We can't understand what they say!" Lin Meixia said with a smile.
"Aunt, Tian Tian is amazing. She is a college student and must be different from us!" Wu Juan said with a smile.
She really admires Tian Tian now. In recent years, many families have sent their children to school, and some have been admitted to high schools, but no one has been admitted to university.
Wu Juan didn’t think much of it before, but now she realizes that getting into university is really difficult. There is only one person like Tian Tian in ten thousand.
Wu Juan also plans to send her children to college in the future. She doesn't need them to be as outstanding as Tiantian, but as long as they can finish elementary school, read books, and recognize words. Of course, if they are willing to continue their studies, Wu Juan will continue to support them.
"Tiantian is married. Do you have any plans for having children?" Lin Meishuang asked.
"There's no rush. We two plan to let nature take its course. The key is that we are both busy with work and don't have much energy to focus on the child!" Tian Tian said.
Tian Tian is a little conflicted now. She has never thought about not having children, but when the child is born is also a very important matter.
Although they recruited two fresh graduates of English majors in June this year, the school has decided to expand its enrollment, which means that Tian Tian's burden has not been reduced at all and remains about the same as before.
The next batch of college students will graduate in June next year, which means a year. Tian Tian will be very busy at work and will be too tired to get up when she goes home, so how can she have time to take care of the children?
Moreover, when Gu Zhao was busy with their project, they would be away for days and nights, and no one would be seen. Basically, they lived in the laboratory and workshop.
If the child cannot be accompanied, Tian Tian decides not to have a child while they are busiest.
This matter needs to wait until at least one of them is free.
"It's time to have a baby. Tian Tian is not young anymore. She is already 26 years old. If she doesn't have a baby now, she won't be able to have one. What will she do when she gets old?" Lin Meishuang said.
"That's right. You have to have children as early as possible, and what job doesn't allow people to have children? If it was the autumn harvest when we were pregnant, wouldn't we have gone to work in the fields? How can a teacher not even have a child? Gu Zhao's wife is a soldier, but she gave birth to a child anyway. Isn't her service as hard as yours as a teacher?" Lin Meixia said.
Lin Meiyu also turned around and looked at Tian Tian worriedly. She naturally hoped that Tian Tian could have a child. What's more, Tian Tian's age was not young anymore. If she gave birth in a few years, Lin Meiyu was worried that Tian Tian would be in danger.
Lin Meiyu knew that having a child was not a smooth process, like laying an egg and giving birth to a child all at once. She had been pregnant with three children and suffered three times. Although she was very fortunate that she gave birth to three brothers and sisters, it did not mean that she wanted her children to suffer. It was because no one had told her since she was a child that only by having children could she be guaranteed when she was old. Lin Meiyu also did not want Tian Tian to suffer when she was old.
So she is very conflicted now. She wants Tian Tian to have a child, but she doesn't want to put pressure on Tian Tian.
"Aunt, the main reason is that I'm busy with work and may not have much time. Plus, Tiantian also has to go to work. If both of us are busy, there will be no one to take care of the child. So we still want to wait until everyone has time and free time to give birth to the baby. This will be good for the child as well! The main reason is that I don't want to have a baby too soon." Gu Zhao said.
"Then can't your parents help you take care of the child? If that doesn't work, ask your mother-in-law to go to your house to look after the child!" Lin Meishuang said.
She felt from the bottom of her heart that Tian Tian was now at the age to have a child and should give birth to the baby as soon as possible before talking about work.
Lin Meishuang didn't think having a baby was a difficult thing. Didn't everyone go through this? Working in the fields wasn't easier than being a teacher in the city. Why couldn't she have a baby?
Tian Tian didn’t know what Lin Meishuang was thinking, otherwise she would be so angry. Her conditions were obviously better than theirs now, so why did she have to compete with them? What’s wrong with being nicer to herself and not wanting to suffer so much?
"My parents both have jobs and don't have time to help us take care of the child. And to be honest, it's not realistic to ask my mother to help us. Taking care of a child is not a one- or two-day job. We can't let go of the child until he or she is three years old. We welcome my parents to live with us, but it's impossible for my parents to really leave home and live with us for two or three years." Gu Zhao said.
"I can't do that. I don't know anyone in that big provincial capital, and there's no one to talk to. What's the point of going there?" Lin Meiyu quickly shook her head and refused.
"Mom and Dad, you don't have to worry. Tian Tian's school is short of an English teacher now. Tian Tian will have to teach more than half of the classes. In a year, the school will recruit new English teachers. By then, Tian Tian will be able to have a lot more ease. We will then consider having a baby." Gu Zhao explained.
Tian Tian nodded at the side. She was really too busy now. Not only did she have to commute to class every day, but she also couldn't rest when she got home at night. She could eat in the cafeteria, so she didn't have to worry about it. However, she still had to prepare the class content according to the different progress of each class, write lesson plans, teaching plans, and some materials required by the school.
After finishing all these, Tian Tian will listen to English listening, memorize some words, and practice her spoken English.
Even though Tian Tian has graduated from university and is an English teacher, there are still many English words that she doesn't know.
Tian Tian felt that since she had learned this language, she had to make it speak like her own and she had to keep learning.
At least now Tian Tian has no time to take care of the children.
Hearing Gu Zhao's words, Lin Meiyu felt relieved. "If you really can't do it, I will go over and help you take care of the child for a while. Doesn't Tian Tian have winter and summer vacations? I will come back during the winter and summer vacations."
Lin Meiyu still couldn't help but want to share some of the burden with Tian Tian.
"Everyone, go and rest quickly. Take a nap after dinner." Lin Meiyu saw Tian Tian snoring several times. She knew that Tian Tian didn't seem to have done any work, but entertaining guests was also very tiring. She wanted Tian Tian to go back to the room and rest quickly.
"Sister! Little sister! You stay with us tonight. We are going to the provincial capital the day after tomorrow. You can come with us then." Lin Meiyu said.
Lin Meishuang and the others were also tired. They had walked for more than four hours to get here. They wanted to lie down and rest, but when they heard Lin Meiyu say that she was going to the provincial capital, they were both excited and conflicted.
Who doesn't want to go to the provincial capital, but not everyone can go. How to pay for the journey and what to do with the housework?
But before they could say anything, Old Lady Tian came over and said, "The room has been cleaned up for you, go and have some rest!"
Just now, Tian Lisong and the others went to clean up all the houses. Although there were people living in every room and they were all quite clean, they still had to prepare clean bedding for the in-laws when they came over.
Now that everyone lives separately, there are more beddings to use. It took Old Mrs. Tian a long time to find them, and she even borrowed a few quilts from Chen Guihua. Several of the quilts were the wedding quilts that Lin Meiyu and Chen Guihua used when they got married. They had been reluctant to use them all these years, and as a result, they have been kept for more than 20 years. Although the colors are bright, the cotton inside has become a little old. To be honest, they are not warm at all.
There are quite a lot of people coming here now, so it’s just right to use these quilts as mattresses. Anyway, the weather is warm now, so it’s just right not to cover ourselves with quilts.
When everyone heard what Old Lady Tian said, they all went over to rest. Tian Zhuo first moved to Tian Yuan's room and slept with Shugen and Caogen. Lin Meixia, Lin Meishuang, Wu Juan, and Wu Juan's two children lived in Tian Zhuo's room.
