Chapter 246 The Elders’ Urging



Ding Qiunan was pulled into the kitchen by her mother. "Qiunan, you are going to school after the New Year, right?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Ding Qiunan was a little confused.

"It's okay. I feel relieved when I see you guys getting along so well." Mother Ding said with a smile.

But there was still a trace of worry in his eyes. Ding Qiunan would be away for three or four years and would not be able to have children. What if Li Qinghe wanted a child?

So she didn't want Ding Qiunan to go to school. What's the point of becoming a college student if she can't tie down a man?

Moreover, Li Qinghe is capable. If Ding Qiunan doesn't catch him, naturally some other woman will.

"Girl, the school doesn't say you can't get married or have children, why don't you consider it?"

Ding Qiunan blushed a little, "Mom, what are you talking about? You want me to go to class with a big belly? How will others look at me? And I still have the energy to go to school."

Mother Ding sighed, looking self-pitying, "Your father and I have no sons, so we can only rely on you, a daughter, to support us. Our family background is not good, and you are a daughter, so it is difficult for us.

"Qiu Nan, you are lucky to have found a capable partner, but there are not many such things. You know what kind of life our family went through before.

"If it weren't for my son-in-law, how long would our family last? So, we still need a son to support this family, what do you think?

"Of course, I don't mean to force you. I'm doing this for your own good. With a child, Qinghe will definitely focus on you, so you can go to school with peace of mind."

She was indeed worried. Ever since Ding Qiunan started dating Li Qinghe, life at home had improved. It was a good life that she had never dared to imagine before. There was no shortage of food, let alone meat. She used cold cream, and the old man could often make a cup of tea.

She was afraid that once Ding Qiunan went to school, some woman would take advantage of him.

If Li Qinghe gave birth to another child, what would happen to Ding Qiunan and the family?

The Ding family is supported by Li Qinghe.

Finally, Mother Ding took Ding Qiunan's hand and said earnestly, "Qiunan, this is all for your own good. Think about it carefully."

Ding Qiunan was silent. It was not that she didn't have this worry, but Li Qinghe supported her in her studies and took such good care of her, which made her feel that she could pursue her dreams.

Butte's mother's words made her feel a sense of crisis again.

"Mom, I understand. I will discuss it with Qinghe."

Mother Ding smiled and said, "Okay, I'm relieved that you think so. Come, help me make something delicious for lunch."

"Yeah." Ding Qiunan smiled and packed the ingredients.

......

"General! Haha, you lost again." Father Ding excitedly used the 'rook' to eat up Li Qinghe's veteran.

"Oh, why didn't I notice this move? As expected, the old general is still the wielder. Let's try again. I don't believe I can't win a single game!" Li Qinghe annoyedly pushed the chess pieces into a pile and then quickly arranged them.

Father Ding looked at Li Qinghe playing chess with pride, "You just can't calm down. This chessboard is like a battlefield. Both tactics and strategy are very important. You have to figure out your opponent's intentions so that you can move forward step by step."

Li Qinghe had a smile on his face and nodded repeatedly, but he was pouting in his heart, if I hadn't deliberately let you go, believe it or not, I can do nothing to you.

"You are really amazing. I still need to learn more from you."

Father Ding smiled happily and asked casually, "Qinghe, you and Qiunan have been married for a while. When do you plan to have a child?"

"There's no rush. Qiunan and I are still young, and she still has to go to college. It won't be too late to have a child after she graduates."

As he said that, he set up the chessboard and said, "Pawn."

Father Ding took a step forward and said, "That's true, but going to school won't affect having a baby. When you're about to give birth, apply for a leave to keep your student status, and then continue to go to school after the baby is weaned."

Nowadays, the age limit for going to school is not that strict. Some people are still in high school in their twenties, and there are even students in their thirties in college.

Those who are older will naturally get married and have children.

Many people's bellies grow bigger while they are in school, and when they are about to give birth, they go home to recuperate.

Wait until the child is able to eat and then go back to school.

These days were not like the future, when children could go to school and work after the confinement period. In that era of material scarcity, few people could afford milk powder, and most people were breastfed.

The child must wait until he is able to be weaned and eat before he can continue to go to school.

Moreover, in this era, people get married relatively early. It is still considered good in the city, but in the countryside, many people get married at the age of 15 or 16.

Don't say you are not of marriageable age. These days, how many people understand the law? Especially in rural areas, there are a lot of illiterate people. If they can write their names, they are considered literate. Who cares about the law? Some people don't even know what a marriage certificate is. They just set up a banquet and have neighbors as witnesses and they are considered married.

That is to say, in the imperial capital, there are more educated people, policies are communicated first, and publicity is more comprehensive, which is why so many people know about the need to get a certificate.

Even so, there are many people who secretly get married before they reach the required age, and as long as no one reports it, the higher-ups will pretend not to see it.

"Dad, there's no rush. Having a baby is a big deal and we must be prepared." Li Qinghe stepped back and lowered his voice, "You may not know that the wind direction is changing.

"So, what we have to do at this time is to keep a low profile as much as possible, and it's best to be dumb and deaf."

Li Qinghe didn't say it directly, but Ding's father understood.

His family background was not good to begin with, and his daughter went to college. If she got pregnant again and gave birth to a child, and her identity became known, there would probably be some trouble.
