The second uncle was also not happy with his daughter's "ambition". He was displeased with her for the first time and said, "You have been smart and sensible since you were young. Your father has never treated you and your brother differently.
It was time to go to school. Later, when the educated youth were assigned to our place, you brought back a letter from your aunt's house. I sold all the valuable belongings in the house and got you into the team.
Later, when Zaohua Factory took the recruitment exam, you said that you could rely on yourself, but we all knew in our hearts that your cousin had never failed to send study materials to you and your siblings over the years.
Whenever we get together, the thing we talk about most is asking you not to give up studying.
Okay, let’s not talk about others. Let’s talk about yourself. It’s your own fault for trying hard and making progress. If you put something different there, some people will pass the exam while others won’t. Dad has always been proud of you.
Now that you are about to return after completing your studies, you suddenly say you don't want to come back!"
Uncle Li tapped his pipe and paused for a long moment before picking up the conversation again, "This isn't about being unfair to Yuling, it's about you, kid.
Xiangyang has a regular job, and he didn't get into college. What do you want him to do out there? Hard labor? They talk about opportunities out there, but you barely get a place to stay there. What about him? Isn't he just a refugee?
He's not a returned educated youth, nor a student who passed the exam to go out. The city outside can't even accommodate its own people. It's not easy for him, a person with an outsider's household registration, to gain a foothold. And do you want to take your child with you?
If you bring it with you, where will you and your family live? Do you think housing is as easy to allocate anywhere as it is at Zaohua Factory? ..."
Li Xiangyang stood outside at the base of the wall and heard everything clearly. He turned around and went to the backyard to chop firewood for his father-in-law...
The question of where to live overwhelmed Li Yingtao. She was not like Qiu Yuling, who had the ability to settle down wherever she went.
After much thought, I have to admit that if I don't plan to divorce, it would be safer to come back.
Divorce? She had never thought that her brother was already the first divorced person in the team. If she was added to the mix, her parents' backbone would be exposed by the villagers.
Li Yingtao finally agreed to come back, but she reported for the job too late, so she had to go back to teach in the high school department.
Li Xiangyang is fine. He still works in the headquarters and his wife works in the high school department. The whole family is in the same place and they don't have to be a couple living in two places.
Qiu Yuling might know or she might not know, but no one had ever formally brought this matter to her face.
She has always known how to restrain herself and not interfere in the cause and effect of others.
Little Li Tunan, on the other hand, seemed to be enjoying herself so much that she didn't want to leave. Qiu Yuling couldn't spare the time to pick her up, so she had to ask her fourth uncle to bring her little girl back with him when he went to pick up her grandmother from her fourth aunt's place.
"No problem, leave it to Fourth Uncle. Hehe, your Fourth Aunt is pregnant again!"
"What?" Qiu Yuling thought she was hallucinating. God knows what the couple is doing. The baby is like rabbits, giving birth to a litter every two years. They have never stopped since they got married.
This made her grandmother, who was very old, have to run around all the time to take care of her during the confinement period.
"Pretend! Your ears are like antennas, how can you not hear clearly? What do you think? Fourth uncle is awesome! Your fourth aunt and I both love children. We believe in having many children and happiness!"
"Fourth uncle, that's enough. Don't dare to have another baby. Including this one, your family has five. Don't you think it's too tiring? Grandma can't stand this kind of use."
"Well, what do you, a little girl, know? If everyone were like you, having one or two children and then focusing on their careers, who would respond to the leader's call?..."
Qiu Yuling was not happy to hear his nonsense. "Fourth Uncle, I'm serious. You should get the surgery. We're facing the pressure of rapid population growth and we're already overwhelmed. The higher-ups are already working on introducing family planning policies..."
Li Qingtong was surprised to hear this. "Why don't you hurry up and add another one? If it's really like what you said, then you have no chance!"
Qiu Yuling stated righteously, "I am a state cadre, so of course I must take the lead. I can't just preach eugenics to the workers while doing the opposite myself!"
"Besides, you've acted like a pedant since you were little. Fourth Uncle can't argue with you. But if it's really as you say, I really have to think about it. Really, how can you change so quickly..."
This fourth uncle is the most unreasonable. Grandma is clearly in her retirement, but he just won't keep quiet. Qiu Yuling sometimes gets angry, but this uncle is very good to her.
No matter what she said or scolded him, he never took it to heart and never went to her to ask for help. Even though she was already a factory director, every time her fourth uncle saw her, he would give her ten or eight yuan and put it in her pocket.
A while ago, he did some private work and then secretly bought a refrigerator. He even called Qiu Yuling and asked if she had one at home. If not, she could give it to him or something...
But this pregnancy really came at the wrong time. Although the document had not been officially issued, Qiu Yuling, as a core member of the system, would always know what she should know earlier than others.
By the second half of next year at the latest, family planning will be established as a basic national policy. If you can't give birth before then, some radical neighborhood committees will try to find a solution even if you're about to give birth...
She was really worried about her fourth uncle. She didn't even ask how many months she was pregnant.
Sometimes people are just like this, and she thought that since she knew it, and she happened to be going to Lan City for a meeting in a few days, she would go to see her fourth aunt when she was done.
As a result, she was caught up in the incident. That day, she told her mother-in-law that she would not be back for dinner. She also bought a lot of food and daily necessities for adults and children. Before she even entered the house, she saw her fourth aunt lying on her back in the yard.
This scared her half to death. She dropped the thing in her hand, picked up the person, and ran out with him in her arms.
It happened that she didn't drive when she arrived, and she was stopped on the road for a long time. It was only then that a kind-hearted citizen drove a tricycle from his home and took her to the hospital.
The result was that the child was lost, but the adult was saved.
"Luckily, you are lucky. If it were any later, not only the child, but also the adults would have died!" The doctor said this as a routine matter.
Qiu Yuling completed the hospitalization procedures for her fourth aunt, borrowed a thermos from the water room, went back to dissolve a pill, and helped the dazed Bai Ge drink it.
On her way here, she urgently exchanged two pills. She fed one to her fourth aunt right away, and this is the other one. The first one is for stopping bleeding and eliminating accumulation, and the second one is for strengthening the body and replenishing the vital energy.
After finishing all these, she laid the person down, went out to the nurse's station, and found a paid nurse.
After she found someone to watch over her, she freed her hands and went out to call her aunt's team. At this time, she couldn't think of anyone else to ask except her aunt.
