Chapter 916 Old Times Moon (Side Story 3)
"Ziqi!"
Just as Liu Ziqi was listening with great interest, a crumpled piece of paper hit him on the head. When he looked up, he saw Fang Zhihe waving at him from the second-floor balcony.
Liu Ziqi picked up the crumpled paper from the ground and left the scene.
Fang Zhihe comes from a wealthy family, which is why she owns a three-story house in town. Because her parents are often busy with their business and don't come home, only the housekeeper and Fang Zhihe usually live in the Fang family.
However, both Fang's mother and father were present today. Fang's father was lying on the sofa, looking rather pale, while Fang's mother was standing on the balcony making a phone call, seemingly discussing some contract.
The sorrowful look on Fang's father's face vanished instantly upon seeing Liu Ziqi, replaced by a gentle and refined demeanor.
"Ziqi is here? Zhihe is on the second floor. You guys have fun. I'll have Aunt Wang bring some fruit up later."
Liu Ziqi greeted them politely, then went upstairs as if he knew the way well.
As soon as the door opened, Liu Ziqi saw Fang Zhihe sitting on the floor cutting something. He leaned closer to take a look and asked, "Ms. Xie's photo? You printed it out so quickly?"
She also has an old photo like this, but it's not Xie Ning's. It was found a long, long time ago in an English book. It's of someone who looks a lot like her grandmother.
It was her grandmother, numb with pain, who stayed.
Even though she knew it wasn't her grandmother, she still felt a pang of heartache and stayed to remind herself to make her grandmother happy.
"Hmm." Fang Zhihe carefully placed the cropped photos into a small photo album.
"Many of the questions in the books my dad used to bring back were created by Ms. Xie. Actually, those questions shouldn't be ones that I should be able to solve at my stage, but they just felt very familiar to me, so I did them as I felt like, and I actually solved them all correctly!"
It's as if she had done it before.
This morning, she saw Ms. Xie Ning on the news and suddenly felt like she had met an old friend. It was as if they had met a long, long time ago.
Fang Zhihe's gaze fell on Liu Ziqi's face, and she spoke her mind. Actually, she had thought Liu Ziqi's face was familiar at first, but today she saw that he looked about 50% like Xie Ning.
But Xie Ning is Xie Ning, and Liu Ziqi is Liu Ziqi.
Liu Ziqi sat down cross-legged and agreed with Fang Zhihe's idea, "My grandma said that if you feel that you are familiar with someone, maybe the two of you were destined to be together in your past life."
Although Fang Zhihe didn't believe it, he was still very happy to hear it. "Then I will follow in Ms. Xie's footsteps in this life and serve my country like her."
Liu Ziqi nodded vigorously, "Me too! By the way, Zhihe, I got 685 points!"
She had excellent grades and came to the Fang family to share her joy. However, she didn't ask about Fang Zhihe's grades because Fang Zhihe had been admitted to the University of Science and Technology of China before the college entrance examination.
"Congratulations!" Fang Zhihe smiled. Liu Ziqi wasn't a particularly talented person, but she was hardworking enough, which is why she reached the top.
"By the way, what's wrong with Uncle Fang?" Liu Ziqi was still a little puzzled. Fang's father had just remembered, but for some reason, his expression twisted and he sat back down.
Fang Zhihe blushed slightly, but still whispered, "My dad got a tubal ligation."
For couples who no longer want children, hospitals now encourage male sterilization, and a health channel even dedicated a special program to this topic to raise public awareness of sterilization surgery.
While male sterilization surgery also carries risks, it is generally considered safer than IUD insertion.
Moreover, during the implementation of the one-child policy in the 1980s and 1990s, some female leaders in the upper echelons advocated for male sterilization surgery. Even though many people were unwilling, the rate still reached 30% under the strong pressure of the policy.
It may not seem like much, but it is still progress. The pain and impending loss of benefits should not be borne solely by women.
This is why there is much less resistance to male sterilization surgery in modern times.
Fang's mother got pregnant again because she didn't take proper precautions. Of course, she can't have any more children, after all, she's getting old, and her health is the most important thing.
After deciding to abort the unborn child, she also kicked Mr. Fang to the hospital to get a tubal ligation.
They are working very hard, step by step, to improve women's status and voice. It may be slow and difficult, but there are always people who are like moths to a flame, burning themselves out.
Whether in politics, business, literature, or medicine, there are clear-headed women at all levels working hard to dispel the fog of confusion for more women.
After arriving in Yanjing, Fang Zhihe and Liu Ziqi went together to the cliff where Xie Ning's ashes were scattered, which is now filled with flowers.
Fang Zhihe put down the white camellia in her hand, and the mountain breeze seemed to be responding to her.
An elderly woman in a plain-colored cheongsam looked at Fang Zhihe and smiled, "These camellias are really beautiful. Ms. Xie will like them. Little girl, what's your name?"
Fang Zhihe.
Fang Zhihe... Aunt Xie had a student she had been thinking about for a long time, I think her name was Fang Zhihe. Aunt Xie was too busy, too busy to grieve.
"My name is Nan Jia. In the south there are fine fish, which are steaming and delicious."
She grew up peacefully and smoothly, enjoying a lifetime of peace and joy, and witnessing the strength of her motherland.
After her, more children will grow up safely and smoothly, live in a prosperous era, witness the prosperity and strength of the motherland, and strive for a better and better motherland.
They will fill in the blanks of the future.
