Chapter 193: Life is only a few decades long, why bother living in fear?
Zhou Yong sat up, lit a candle, put on his clothes, and went to call Zhang Guifang.
Li Baotian followed and took the four children to the east room to sleep.
After tossing and turning from around nine o'clock in the evening until dawn, Li Caiyun gave birth to a son for Zhou Yong.
This child was supposed to take Li Caiyun's surname, but Li Baotian gave the child Zhou Yong's surname.
Because Li Jingchu and Li Jingen both took Li Caiyun's surname, and Zhou Kexin and Zhou Kerou took Zhou Yong's surname, this baby was a boy, and if he took his mother's surname, Li Baotian and his wife were afraid that their son-in-law would be unhappy with them.
In fact, the couple was overthinking it. No matter what the children's surnames were, they were all Zhou Yong's, so he wouldn't care about these things.
The child finally took the mother's surname, which was Zhou Yong's decision.
On the twentieth day of Li Caiyun's confinement, people from the Family Planning Office, accompanied by Qi Shurong, began to visit every household.
By the end of September, the Family Planning Office introduced various policies, and staff members went to the villages to do ideological work among women.
The county sent doctors who could perform sterilization to the clinics in each village. Many women, persuaded by the staff, underwent sterilization surgery without telling their families.
This has caused countless family conflicts, and some women have even been kicked out of their homes by their husbands.
October marks the autumn harvest season, but family planning is still in progress.
After harvesting crops and paying the public grain tax, people from the Family Planning Office came to see Li Caiyun.
Li Caiyun remained indifferent to the persuasion of the family planning office staff. The staff had no other choice but to send Qi Shurong to find Zhou Yong.
"Let my wife get sterilized?"
Qi Shurong nodded: "Captain, you are a village cadre, you should set an example..."
Zhou Yong had no objection to vasectomy, the key was that Li Caiyun was unwilling.
The reason why she was unwilling to do so was simple: she felt that five children were a bit too few and wanted to have a few more while she was still young.
It’s not that Li Caiyun is addicted to having children, it’s that she wants her family to be prosperous.
Zhou Yong glanced at Qi Shurong and asked, "My wife is the only woman in the village who hasn't had a sterilization surgery?"
Qi Shurong froze: "That's not the case."
Zhou Yong nodded: "I thought my wife was the only one left, but it turns out she isn't? In that case, you can go and do some ideological work on others. My wife won't hold you back..."
Qi Shurong forced a smile and said, "Captain, I have no say in this matter. It was arranged by the family planning office..."
The smile on Zhou Yong's face gradually disappeared: "Where are the people from the Family Planning Office? I'll go ask them what's going on."
There are thousands of women in the village, why are they targeting his wife?
Zhou Yong didn't believe that there was no trick!
Besides, he is the captain of the production team and the director of the brick factory in Huaixi Village. Li Baotian is the village chief. Li Caiyun's identity is there. Only a fool would target her.
Qi Shurong looked at Zhou Yong, whose face was dark and smelly, and hurriedly calmed him down.
"Captain, don't be angry, let's talk slowly..."
What is there to say?
Zhou Yong ignored Qi Shurong and left the office to ask in the brigade yard.
“Who knows where the family planning office is?”
Soon someone told him that the people from the Family Planning Office were in the health center!
Zhou Yong rode his bicycle to the health center, and Qi Shurong's face showed anxiety.
When he arrived at the clinic, Zhou Yong found the person in charge of family planning in Huaixi Village at the Family Planning Office.
Zhou Yong did not quarrel with the other party, but just stated the matter truthfully.
Li Caiyun gave birth to her child in early September and is now breastfeeding, so it is not suitable for her to have a sterilization.
Since the other child drinks clean milk, Li Caiyun will not get pregnant even if they have sex.
Several staff members of the Family Planning Office looked at each other in confusion, and Doctor Shen couldn't help but glance at Zhou Yong.
"Captain Zhou, I didn't expect you to know so much."
These are the words spoken by the head of the Family Planning Office.
Zhou Yong frowned: "This is the most basic physiological common sense, am I wrong?"
Not only was he not wrong, what he said was absolutely correct.
It’s just that the people in the Family Planning Office didn’t understand the situation, so they came to Li Caiyun.
A staff member of the Family Planning Office said: "Comrade Qi Shurong is the director of the Women's Affairs Office of Huaixi Village. Why doesn't she even know this basic situation? How does she do her job? She is simply wasting everyone's time..."
The list of people to talk to was compiled by Qi Shurong, and the people from the Family Planning Office went to each woman on the list to do ideological work.
Zhou Yong raised his eyebrows secretly. He knew that it was that old woman Qi Shurong who was behind the scenes. Otherwise, why would the people from the Family Planning Office come to Li Caiyun?
At this time, Qi Shurong entered the health room and was scolded by the people from the family planning office.
Zhou Yong looked at Qi Shurong's unnatural expression, and he said quietly: "Sister Qi, forgive me for saying so much. I wonder if your four daughters-in-law have had sterilization surgery? If not, you should hurry up, so as not to be used as a topic by others..."
Qi Shurong froze where she was, and everyone from the Family Planning Office looked at her.
"I have done some ideological work on them, and they will come to get sterilization surgery in the next few days..."
Qi Shurong said these words in a very stiff tone, and it seemed as if she was going to break Zhou Yong's heart.
Zhou Yong nodded: "That's good. After all, you are the director of women's affairs. You must put justice above family ties at the critical moment..."
Qi Shurong wrote Li Caiyun's name first, intending to make Zhou Yong unhappy, but she ended up shooting herself in the foot.
Zhou Yong left the clinic in a good mood, but Qi Shurong was in a terrible mood.
After leaving the clinic, Zhou Yong went straight home. Li Caiyun was sitting on the kang, sewing shoe soles in a depressed mood!
"Why are you back?"
It was not yet time to get off work, so Zhou Yong returned home early.
"Come back to see you."
Li Caiyun looked puzzled: "Look at me? Why?"
Zhou Yong told her about Qi Shurong, and Li Caiyun sighed as she listened.
"Does my doing this embarrass you?"
Zhou Yong pinched his young wife's face and said, "What's so difficult about it? At worst, I will just quit being the team leader of the production team..."
Li Caiyun widened her eyes and looked at Zhou Yong. She was so moved that she didn't know what to say.
Zhou Yong comforted her: "Don't let your imagination run wild. If you want to have a baby, then we will. Don't listen to them..."
All his goals have been achieved one by one, and even though he has been demoted to his current position, Zhou Yong has no regrets.
Li Caiyun's eyes were red, and she choked up: "How can I ruin your future just because of having a child?"
Zhou Yong, however, had a nonchalant attitude, which made Li Caiyun burst into laughter.
"I've thought about it, five children isn't too few. If it doesn't work out, I'll get sterilized. I won't let you and dad get dragged down..."
Although she said this, she didn't want to have a vasectomy.
Zhou Yong saw through her thoughts: "Little girl, don't embarrass yourself..."
Life is only a few decades long, why bother living with worries?
Li Caiyun sighed softly. The child woke up and she picked up her little son to feed him.
At this time, Zhang Guifang brought Zhou Kerou back and talked to the couple about whose daughter-in-law went for sterilization.
Every day there are women who go for sterilization surgery, but the number is not large. So far, only a hundred women in Huaixi Village have undergone sterilization.
If things continue to develop in this way, Zhang Guifang believes that the staff of the Family Planning Office will have to be stationed in Huaixi Village for a long time.
"It's not realistic to stay there for a long time. The county will definitely introduce new policies."
Zhang Guifang looked puzzled. She asked Zhou Yong: "What new policies can the Family Planning Office introduce?"
