"But let me tell you! Apart from this incident, this kid is a bit stubborn, and everything else about his character is good!"
"Among the brothers of our generation, whenever there's a problem at someone's house, he'll always lend a hand! Sometimes he's even more helpful than a son!
His master, Lao Zhang, suddenly felt hot all over in the middle of the night. His son was on a business trip, so his wife had no choice but to knock on Jin Zhou's door. Without saying a word, he went out and took people to the hospital. He was busy every day during the hospitalization.
And there's Lao Jin from our workshop, who got hit on the foot by a steel pipe and has been lame for three months. His house is on the sixth floor! This guy carried him up and down all the way!
"He remembers favors! If you give him a piece of candy, he'll remember your kindness! Even the guys of his generation, now that they've grown up, don't dwell on their childhood memories. Sometimes when they bring them up, they'll say that since they didn't hit me back then, the fact that I bled was revenge."
This kid is very clear-headed! He's also very magnanimous! Unlike his father..."
There was a hint of sob in Lao Shi's tone, but he forced it back and sighed heavily.
"Everyone is worried when they think about him being so cheerful outside every day and then coming home to a cold stove. Everyone hopes that he can get married soon. With a wife and children at home, they will have their dreams..."
Lao Shi would not say that he had once gone on a long-distance trip with Qi Jinzhou, and they were stopped by robbers several times on the way. The kid was still very brave in fighting, but when he was a child he only had fists, but when he grew up he could wield a machete.
At that time, Lao Shi always had a feeling that Qi Jinzhou was not afraid of death, in the truest sense of the word. Perhaps if he died on the road one day, he might even feel relieved.
Why did Lao Shi think so? Because that look was too much like his past self. He had been through the same thing himself. After all, he was a bachelor, so it didn't matter where he died.
However, after he was forced by the factory director to go on a blind date, get married, and have a daughter, everything changed. The most important thing was his mentality. He had to at least live until his daughter got married and had a baby. Then he could take his grandson or granddaughter around the factory yard and envy those grandsons to death!
So when they got back, they immediately discussed with their brothers about introducing a girl to Qi Jinzhou. However, no one had expected that boy to be so careless, starting with his parents. He said he didn't feel bad, but they were heartbroken when they heard it.
Lin Guoqing rubbed his fingers on his knees. Combining this with Qi Jinzhou's self-narration provided by Sanni, he had a general understanding of this person.
He has a family background, an education, a conscience, is willing to work hard, and is willing to take on any challenge.
He is not really a brainless and impulsive young man. He will not offend others unless they offend him.
The only black spot is probably the criminal record left by his parents.
Even prisoners who are released from prison need to be given another chance, let alone innocent children.
Lin Guoqing took a deep breath, then there was only one last question left.
"Brother Shi, as I just said, my brother-in-law has nine daughters, and they want one to stay home. Sanni is filial, and she's determined to stay home to take care of her parents in their old age. So, look at Jinzhou, is he really willing to let their child have the surname Ma?"
Old Shi couldn't guarantee it. After all, if Qi Jinzhou thought so now, what would he do if he regretted it after the child was born? There were many live-in sons-in-law who did this kind of thing.
However, "Jinzhou won't agree to anything he can't do, and once he's promised something, he'll do it at all costs. Besides... haven't you guys been notified yet?"
"What?" Lin Guoqing looked puzzled.
Lao Shi tutted, probably because he was dissatisfied with Lin Guoqing's lack of information.
"My wife's eldest sister-in-law's family is from a rural area in the suburbs. At the beginning of this year, they announced that if the first child is a daughter, they can still have a second child after five years."
"Is this true?" Lin Guoqing's eyes widened. "We didn't get any notice. My brother-in-law is the village party secretary. If there was a notice, he would definitely be the first to know!"
Lao Shi touched his head and said, "That's possible. Your place is a bit far away. After all, we are closer to the office building above. I guess it will be sent out soon."
"But this is only allowed in rural areas, and the maximum is two. If the first one is a son, you are not allowed to have another one." He leaned closer and whispered,
"I heard it's because there are so many inexplicably missing baby girls out there. While the probability isn't as high here, it's still there. So the higher-ups are worried that those who favor boys over girls might leave those girls alone in order to have sons, so they've relaxed the restrictions... Sigh! What a sin!"
Lin Guoqing frowned when he heard this. "What's wrong with the girl? The girls in my family are all very promising, none of them are worse than me. Why can't I take care of them in their old age? These people must be crazy!"
"Who says it's not true? I just think it's nice to have a girl in my family." Lao Shi also agreed with Lin Guoqing's statement, but the point he wanted to make was not this.
"What I mean is that if Sanni's first child is a girl, then she should be able to have a second one. If Jinzhou really wants one... why don't you give her his last name? If your brother-in-law's family wants a son, then let the girl go with Jinzhou. At least it will leave a child for his Qi family!"
"You mean...burning the candle at both ends?"
Incense, incarnated as candles, is traditionally lit on one side and only once at a wedding. The candles are lit on the side of the house where they are lit, representing the family of the couple. When a woman marries a man, the man's candle is lit, and when a man visits, the woman's candle is lit.
Lighting candles at both ends means a double marriage, with no marriage required. The child will have half the surname, and both parents will be called grandparents. This style of wedding was quite popular in water towns later on, as most people had only one child.
But it's not that there were no such cases in the past. During the war, too many people died, no matter whether they were men or women. Those who survived were lucky. Many families may have only one son or daughter left, especially those who had only one daughter and could not find a son-in-law to live with them.
In order to prevent the family from being extinct and the land from being taken away, they agreed to a double marriage. The married couple lived in the man's family for a while, and then moved back to the woman's family for a while. Since both parents only had one child left, they would do their best to help them.
But when he thought about the fact that Qi Jinzhou no longer had parents, Lin Guoqing, as his mother's family member, felt that Sanni was at a disadvantage with this calculation.
As for Qi Jinzhou, Lao Shi felt that if he came to the door, Qi Jinzhou would suffer a loss.
"Jinzhou's family is quite wealthy. I can't tell you the exact amount his parents left him, but it must be around one or two thousand! The kid doesn't spend much money, so the amount he's saved up by now must be quite a bit.
The apartment the factory allocated to his family is 70 square meters! It has three rooms! A few years ago, someone here wanted to upgrade and sold this one to someone else, but they paid 50 yuan per square meter! Just think about that, his apartment is worth 3,500 yuan!
"This is the condition! You let him go to your house! Doesn't your conscience hurt?"
————————————
There have been many cases of double marriages in the past few years, but the prerequisite is that the woman is willing to have two children. In the past, people didn't have much requirements for having children, and felt that one, two, or three were the same. With the awakening of women's consciousness... this thing is ridiculous.
