Chapter 60 Hurry up and have a baby with him

Xia Qingxi returned to the room where Guo Yumei had made the bed for them, looked at the bed, turned around and walked into Guo Yumei's room, and asked her if she had an extra quilt.

When Guo Yumei heard that she wanted another quilt, her expression was obviously stagnant for a moment. In this weather, there was no need to cover herself with a thick quilt. One quilt for two people was enough, unless...

She opened her mouth and wanted to ask something, but she swallowed the words when they came to her lips, opened the wooden box, took out a new one from it and handed it to Xia Qingxi.

Xia Qingxi took the quilt and went into the room, remembering that she had not given Guo Yumei the special care cream she bought, so she took the cream and went into her room again.

Guo Yumei's hands have always had bad skin since she was a child, and they are often chapped. In recent years, due to overwork, her hands are even more cracked and unsightly.

Xia Qingying looked at her hands, opened the lid with heartache, and slowly applied it to her.

Many people use this special care cream to wipe their faces, but now it is summer, and the face is not as easy to dry as in winter. On the contrary, it is better to use it on chapped hands.

Guo Yumei looked at her daughter who was applying the ointment to herself carefully and asked softly:

"Xiaoxi, how long will Jingjing's home visit leave be this time?"

"It is said to be one month." Xia Qingying replied softly.

"Oh." Guo Yumei nodded, as if she had something to say, but swallowed it in the end. After a moment, she suddenly asked:

"Xiao Liu, do you still remember the girl who used to live next door to us and played with you?"

Xia Qingliu thought she was just looking for a topic to chat with her, so she nodded and said:

"I remember."

"Oh, didn't she get married the year you went to the city?" Guo Yumei continued:

"Her in-laws looked down on her at first and poked her a lot. Her husband didn't like her very much either."

Xia Qingliu was not curious about this girl, nor did she like to talk about these gossips. She responded with a lack of interest:

"Oh, really."

"But guess what happened later?" Guo Yumei said with a look of joy on her face, and continued:

"She gave birth to three sons for that family in a row. The mother-in-law there was so happy that she praised her to everyone she met. Her husband's attitude towards her also improved, and now they live in harmony and happiness."

Xia Qingying was not stupid, and immediately understood what she meant. As expected, there is no mother in the world who does not worry about her children. Before marriage, they worry about the partner, and after marriage, they naturally worry about the children.

"Oh." Xia Qingying pretended not to understand and continued to reply in monosyllables, without intending to have a deep conversation with her about the topic of children.

This put Guo Yumei in a difficult position. She didn't know whether her daughter understood or not. After hesitating for a moment, she didn't give her any more questions and asked directly:

"Xiao Liu, tell mom, have you and Jing Chen not done that yet?"

Xia Qing Liu originally wanted to get away with it, but Guo Yumei didn't expect her to not give her the chance. This question really embarrassed her, so she just said:

"Don't worry about these. Don't worry, I will live a good life, and I will make sure you all live a good life in the future."

Hearing her say this, Guo Yumei understood in her heart, and sighed and said:

"Oh, I know Jing Chen is still angry after all." After she finished speaking, she looked worried.

The son-in-law is going to the army again soon, and it is unknown how many years it will take for him to come back. The daughter is 20 years old. She is an experienced person and knows how hard it is to stay alone in an empty house and wait for someone. How will her little girl live in the future? What

's more, the son-in-law is unwilling to consummate the marriage with her daughter. There is only one reason why a man is unwilling to consummate the marriage, that is, he particularly dislikes and hates this person.

If the son-in-law meets someone he likes in the future and divorces his daughter in a few years, his daughter will be old and have no one to rely on...

She didn't dare to think about it anymore. Suddenly, she took Xia Qingxi's hand and said anxiously:

"Xiao Liu, you can't do nothing at this moment just because you are too proud. You have obtained the marriage certificate, so you are already a legal couple. Jing Chen was angry, and you can't wait for him to take the initiative.

That matter... as long as the woman takes the initiative, it's basically done.

If you have a child, even if he goes to the army and doesn't miss you, he will miss the child. You can't tie him down, but the child can!

A month passed in the blink of an eye. "Oh, silly girl, you better hurry up and bear a child for him, tie him down, so that your life in the second half of your life can be guaranteed."

Xia Qingliu had never thought of tying Lu Jingzhen down, let alone using a child to tie him down. Although she did not have enough self-protection ability under the current situation and could only rely on Lu Jingzhen, it was almost the 1980s. There would be so many opportunities to make money in the future. Wouldn't she be able to support herself?

Although she wanted to tell Guo Yumei that having a child to tie a man down was the most unwise way, after entering the era of mental labor, the opportunities for men and women were basically equal, so there was no need to worry about the future.

But Guo Yumei had not accepted the new ideas of later generations. She was just an ordinary rural woman in the 1970s. Even if she told her all the above, she would not understand.

"Okay, mom, I understand." Xia Qingling nodded to show that she understood.

"Silly girl, you should do it when you know it. To be honest, if you take the initiative to climb up, she can really push you away. You have to remember that having a baby is the most important thing."

Guo Yumei was still worried. Her daughter had been honest since she was a child. If she didn't explain it clearly to her, she was afraid that she would not understand.

Xia Qingxi really didn't want to continue talking about this topic with her, but she couldn't show resistance, otherwise her mother would keep nagging, so she followed her meaning and said:

"Okay, I will take the initiative and try to have a child before he leaves."

Hearing her daughter say this, Guo Yumei felt relieved and prayed silently in her heart, hoping that her daughter could really have a child, so that she would have hope in the future.

After applying the hand cream to Guo Yumei, Xia Qingxi remembered that she should give her some money. She planned to leave 400 yuan for this family from the original 400 yuan she got back from Wang Mingfang last time. She

also had the money given by Lu Jingxie, plus the remaining salary, which should be enough for a short time.

She stood up and said she had something for her. As soon as she walked out, she saw Lu Jingchen standing at the door with a wad of money in his hand. He had been standing there for an unknown amount of time.

The moment their eyes met, the words she had just said to Guo Yumei suddenly rang in her ears:

"Okay, I will take the initiative. Before he leaves, I will try to have a child and tie him down."

Facing this socially dead scene, she could only repeat three words in her heart:

Save me! Save me! Save me!
