"Notebook? Another reward for me?" She asked him to guess, and Ning Jia guessed casually.
Director Wang laughed out loud: "You are really good at guessing! Your mind is full of trivial things, and you are only thinking about the notebook?"
"Did I guess wrong?"
"Isn't it just that you guessed wrong? Forget it, I won't keep you in suspense. Come, take a look for yourself." Director Wang opened her large black handbag, took out a booklet and a small box from it and handed them to Ning Jia.
Ning Jia opened the booklet and found that it was a book promoting family planning.
It is obvious what that small box is.
She pursed her lips and smiled: "I know."
"You know what I mean?" Director Wang smiled kindly. "I went to the health station this morning and brought you these things. Remember to distribute them to each household and increase the publicity efforts."
"Guarantee to complete the task!" Ning Jia agreed immediately.
Director Wang smiled and said, "I like young people like you who are full of energy! Keep working hard, come on!"
Ning Jiayi grinned: "Tuo!"
After coming out of the brigade, Ning Jia happily went home carrying a bag full of family planning products and brochures.
An Ye doesn't want a child for the time being, so he is giving her more.
This saves you from having to worry about whether you have enough supplies when you go to town, and having to go to the health center specifically to get these things.
Someone on the street saw Ning Jia carrying a large bag and asked casually, "Hey, Ning Jia, what is that thing you are carrying?"
Ning Jia immediately opened the bag and distributed it to passers-by: "Come on, each person has a booklet and a box of small umbrellas. Go back and take a look at them and study them."
There was no expression on the man's face when he got the things, and he turned around and pouted.
Ning Jia doesn't care what their mentality is.
This is a historical process that we must go through. Even if we cannot accept it now, we will have to accept it sooner or later.
However, after she had walked around on the road for so long, everyone knew what Ning Jia was going to do when she called a meeting in the afternoon.
As soon as Ning Jia entered the house, Old Mrs. Xu came out with a stern face.
I was beaten badly yesterday and the swelling on my face hasn't gone down yet. A skinny old lady stared at a face that was twice as big as it was during the day, with an inexplicable sense of joy.
"Sixth Old Wife, what are you doing? No one wants to do this kind of work that will end their family lineage, so why are you so active all day? What do you mean by this? Do you want our Li family to be extinct as well?"
"Look at what you are saying. Isn't Zhaodi the queen of our Li family? Aren't Pandi and Yingdi the queens of our family?" Ning Jia threw down a sentence and prepared to go back to the house.
All the people who were going to work would be here soon, and she didn't have time to waste talking to Old Mrs. Xu.
"Those girls are all money-losing goods, and they will all be someone else's family in the future. Only boys can carry on the Li family's bloodline! Sixth son's wife, I don't care what you think, our family can have as many children as we want, and you can't interfere!" Old Mrs. Xu said domineeringly and unreasonably.
"Heh." Ning Jia chuckled.
Maybe old lady Xu doesn’t know this yet?
In the Li family, except for Lin Xiaoxi who was able to give birth to three sons, everyone else was destined to give birth to daughters.
"What are you laughing at? I'm serious!"
The two people were arguing in the yard. Widow Chen stepped into the door with one foot and saw the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law arguing in the yard. With her other foot, she hesitated whether to come in or not.
Ning Jia caught a glimpse of her and waved for her to come in.
"I'm talking to you, can you hear me?" Old Mrs. Xu was dissatisfied with Ning Jia's attitude and reached out to pull her.
"Old lady, your idea is wrong! I think you are in danger. How about this? I strongly urge you to attend the women's meeting this afternoon! Wait, wait, wait!" Ning Jia went to pull Old Lady Xu without saying anything.
Old Mrs. Xu was already frightened by the word "meeting". When she heard about the meeting, she waved her hands and ran away: "No, no, no, I'm so old, I don't have any old men anymore, and I can't have children anymore. I won't attend this meeting! If this gets out, people will laugh to death!"
Old Mrs. Xu fled in panic, and the yard became quiet again.
"Come on, let's go to the backyard." Ning Jia beckoned Widow Chen to go to the back and whispered, "Everything is ready, so hurry up this afternoon. If it's convenient, you can take it home. If it's not convenient, you can come here every day."
"I think you're in danger here." Widow Chen was a little worried about Ning Jia. "If someone reports this, they will definitely put a hoodwinked on you..."
"It's okay, the problem should be solved soon."
After a while, all the workers arrived.
Several people who got along well with Widow Chen in the past also came over. In the past, these people were also exploited by their husbands and mother-in-law and had a low status in the family.
Hearing that they could make money, they all came here quietly.
Soon, everyone arrived.
Widow Chen briefly introduced Ning Jia: "Sister Ning Jia, this is Liu Chunmei, Zhang Sufen, and Lin Caixia. They are all very kind and reliable."
Ning Jia greeted him warmly, smiled, and said, "We are all in the same boat, so we must be of one mind. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, you can't escape me, and you can't escape either."
“Understood.”
Everyone nodded.
"Come on, start!" Ning Jia gave an order, and Li Tao moved the things out and placed them in front of everyone.
Several people chatted and laughed while working.
During this period, Ning Jia also interspersed some content related to women's work.
People outside can hear the noise, but have no idea what is going on inside. The windows were covered with newspapers and the door was locked from the inside, so it was relatively safe.
As for the other members of the Li family, they were too lazy to come over to see. They all knew that Ning Jia was going to promote the family planning policy.
Although the other sisters-in-law didn't say anything, they were all dissatisfied in their hearts, so naturally they wouldn't lean on this side.
"Sister-in-law, how come you two have been married for half a year but there's still no sign of pregnancy?" Bai Jinfeng asked casually.
Ning Jia knew that she had no ill intentions and was just doing it because of Tu Qi: "I don't plan to have a baby for the time being."
An Ye also agreed: "Me too. I can't even fill my own stomach, so if I give birth to a child, will he also starve with me?"
"Are you men all satisfied?" Zhang Chunmei asked tentatively.
An Ye nodded: "I agree, why is he dissatisfied?"
Ning Jia didn't say anything.
As for Li Yao's attitude towards this matter, she really had never asked.
"You are so lucky to marry a man." Zhang Chunmei looked envious, "Men listen to whatever you say, unlike me."
"Then make more money." Bai Jinfeng advised, "With money, we won't be afraid of anything."
"Yes, make more money." Several people echoed.
When the work was done in the evening and it was dark and the sun was about to set, the people in the house opened the door and came out.
Ning Jia stuffed a booklet and a small umbrella into each person's pocket, and reminded them, "Come at the usual time tomorrow! You all attended the class today, remember to go back and spread the word to the people around you."
"Don't worry, we will promote it." Widow Chen agreed readily.
As soon as they walked out of the Li family's house, Lin Xiaoxi came over and ran to the north room to find Old Lady Xu.
"Look, you come so late. You must be here for the house." Bai Jinfeng pouted at Ning Jia.
"Sister-in-law, have you spread the news out?" Ning Jia came over and asked.
"How do you know?" Bai Jinfeng asked.
Ning Jia smiled and said, "I heard some people talking on my way back from the brigade's broadcasting room. If it wasn't you who released it, who else could it be?"
Bai Jinfeng: "Shh~ Don't let your elder brother hear it, or he will get angry with me again."
Ning Jia took Bai Jinfeng's hand and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law! I love you!"
"Oh, that's so corny. Go tell this to Lao Liu. He will be so happy when he hears it." Bai Jinfeng said with an exaggerated expression.
"hey-hey."
"Okay, I'll go to the north room to get some information for you and tell you later."
"Thank you, sister-in-law!"
As soon as Bai Jinfeng said this, An Ye came over and stretched out his hand to her: "Give me two more boxes."
"I've saved it for you. You can have as much as you want! Even if you eat one box a night, we'll have enough!" Ning Jia said with a smile.
An Ye reached out and pinched her: "Jia Jia, you have learned bad habits."
Ning Jia chuckled: "Isn't it just learning from you?"
"No, I won't take the blame for this."
"Oh~" After enough joking, Ning Jia said seriously, "The doctor said that it's not easy for you to get pregnant with your physical condition. Do you still want to use contraception? Do you really not plan to have a baby?"
An Ye shook his head: "How tiring is it to raise a child? Let's enjoy ourselves for two years first. What about you? What are your plans?"
"I have the same idea as you. We have to make money first. How can we raise a baby without money? I don't want one for now!"
"What about Li Yao? Is he interested?" An Ye asked.
"Well... I'm really not sure what he thinks. I have to ask him."
Got back to the house.
Ning Jia found Li Yao sitting next to the broken eight-immortals table drawing. The oil in the kerosene lamp was almost burned out and the flame could go out at any time.
Ning Jia opened the drawer, took out a candle, lit it and placed it next to him. She looked down and found that he was actually drawing a blueprint for furniture.
"Is it over? Did the work go well?" Li Yao asked without raising his head.
"Yes." Ning Jia sat opposite him, holding her chin, her eyes fell on his face, admiring that handsome face, "Li Yao, I have a question to ask you."
"you say."
"I want to ask you about having children."
Hearing Ning Jia mention this question, Li Yao put down the pen in his hand: "Hmm? What do you want to say?"
