Chapter 558 It depends on whether it is worth it
Military District Family Compound
Xia Zhongli lay on the bed with his body weak.
It felt like all the bones in my body were falling apart, and even breathing was difficult.
When he was on a mission to repair the dam, he didn't sleep for a whole week and had never been so tired.
From body to mind.
On the way back from hitting the wall, every step he took was so difficult, as if he was dragging a thousand-pound stone with every step.
All of his former comrades-in-arms became fathers at an early age, but he was the only one who was about to turn 40 and had no children.
After finally getting it, he couldn't keep it.
Xia Zhongli is also a miserable man. His parents died early, and he grew up eating at many people's homes. He was able to sit in the position of regiment leader through hard work.
Although he had fought hard to become a leader, some things...
He really didn't.
He covered his eyes.
A tear rolled down from the corner of his eye.
He really tried his best.
He searched for everything he could and couldn't find.
This was the scene Sun Xiaocao saw when she came in after heating up her lunch.
They say men don't shed tears easily, but only when they're heartbroken...
"Is there still no solution?" Sun Xiaocao sat down next to Xia Zhongli.
Xia Zhongli turned over and sat up, holding Sun Xiaocao in his arms. "Xiaocao, what should I do? I can't keep him..."
There was a cry in his voice.
"I'm a bastard, I can't keep him..."
Sun Xiaocao stroked the man's back as if to comfort him.
"Xiaocao, I'm sorry for you and our child..." Xia Zhongli's tears burst out like a flood.
He had been suppressed for too long, and now he just wanted to have a good cry.
Screw it, a man sheds blood, not tears.
"Eat first, and then you have to accompany me somewhere." Sun Xiaocao wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and spoke as if she had made up her mind.
"Stay for two more days, just two more days..." Xia Zhongli burst into tears.
He couldn't bear to let it go.
That's his child.
His blood!
He wanted to spend more time with him.
"I'm not going to have an abortion." Sun Xiaocao's tears flowed uncontrollably.
"Let's go ask Sister Yi Yi to help us..." she said with difficulty.
.
"A-choo, A-choo..." Jian Qingyi sneezed several times in a row.
"Yi Yi, are you cold?" Qin Mengjie squeezed Jian Qingyi's hand with a worried look on her face, and signaled Aunt Wang to turn up the air conditioner temperature a little bit.
"It's not cold! I think someone might be saying bad things about me behind my back." Jian Qingyi said half-jokingly.
Qin Mengjie was even amused by her.
If sneezing means someone is saying bad things about you behind your back, then if someone has a cold, then a lot of people are saying bad things about him behind his back.
Mother Wang turned up the air conditioner temperature by two degrees, and to be on the safe side, she went to the kitchen to make some ginger and sugar water.
Before Jian Qingyi could even finish her ginger and sugar water, the culprit showed up.
When Aunt Wang went out to open the door, she saw that it was someone from the Sun family. She slammed the door shut and turned around and ran back.
"Yi Yi, Sun Xiaocao and Captain Xia are outside and want to see you." Maybe because she ran too fast, Mother Wang's breathing became a little faster.
Jian Qingyi and Qin Mengjie looked at each other tacitly.
It must be nothing good that Sun Xiaocao came to visit at this time.
"How about I go and tell them you're not at home." Aunt Wang was keenly aware of something.
"No need, let them in!" Jian Qingyi wanted to hear what they would say.
Although Sun Qiang is not a good person, Sun Xiaocao is a good one.
And then there is…
Zia Zhongli!
She wants to see him.
What Jian Qingyi didn't expect was...
Xia Zhongli was actually wearing casual clothes.
Only after the other person knelt down in front of her did she finally realize what was happening and smile.
So this is what he was thinking.
Jian Qingyi helped Sun Xiaocao up in annoyance.
As for Xia Zhongli...
If he wants to kneel, then let him kneel!
We can't let him change into these clothes for nothing!
"Sister Yi Yi, I know this is causing you trouble, but we really have no other choice. Sister Yi Yi, I beg you, please help us, please..." Sun Xiaocao said as she was about to kneel down again.
Jian Qingyi quickly reached out to support the person.
"If you have anything to say, sit down and talk. Don't cry." Jian Qingyi helped her sit down.
Sun Xiaocao raised her hand to wipe the tears from her face, not daring to cry anymore.
"Do you know what eugenics and good parenting mean?" Jian Qingyi's eyes swept over the two people who were kneeling and sitting in front of her.
Xia Zhongli and Sun Xiaocao looked at each other blankly, then shook their heads.
"Now a family can only have one child, and the child's future is the future of the entire family."
"Eugenics and good parenting refer to improving the quality of childbirth, ensuring the health of mothers and babies, reducing birth risks, and improving the quality of the population through scientific methods and measures." Jian Qingyi gave the two people a popular science lecture.
"The purpose of eugenics and good parenting is to help families give birth to healthy offspring."
"This is also the fundamental reason why the country advocates late marriage and late childbearing, and fewer and better births."
"Let's not talk about whether your marriage report can be approved, let's talk about you..." Jian Qingyi looked at Sun Xiaocao.
"If I remember correctly, you just turned seventeen!"
Sun Xiaocao bit her lower lip and nodded slightly.
"Do you know why the marriage age for women is twenty?" Jian Qingyi asked her.
Sun Xiaocao shook her head.
"Because women's reproductive systems are not fully mature before the age of 20, it's like a loofah seedling blooming before it even climbs up the vine. Yes, where there are flowers there are fruits..." Jian Qingyi tried to keep it simple.
"But what kind of fruit it bears is a matter of opinion."
"Young pregnant women have higher rates of premature birth, low birth weight, developmental delay, low immunity, and birth defects than older women."
"Besides, getting pregnant and giving birth too early is also very unfriendly to the female body."
"These are not alarmist statements. Before you make a decision, I suggest you consult a military hospital first."
"Another most important point is..."
Jian Qingyi's gaze fell on Xia Zhongli.
"A man's fertility can generally last until he is in his sixties or seventies. If he is in good physical condition, it is not uncommon for him to have his first child in his eighties." Jian Qingyi stopped there.
How to choose is their business.
At this time, the milky voices of two little guys were heard in the yard.
"Mother……"
"Mother……"
Hearing the footsteps approaching, Xia Zhongli stood up suddenly.
Jian Qingyi glanced at his wrinkled trouser legs and curled the corners of his mouth slightly.
After a while, the old man and the old woman appeared at the door of the living room, each pushing a little kid.
The moment they met Jian Qingyi's gaze, the two little guys showed innocent smiles on their faces.
"Mother……"
"Mother……"
Jian Qingyi smiled and waved to the two little guys.
This caused the two little guys to dance with joy.
The old man and the old woman smiled and took the two little ones down from the stroller.
Xia Zhongli hurriedly stood at attention and saluted the old man.
The old man nodded slightly, as if in agreement.
When Sister Chen heard the noise, she hurriedly added some warm water.
The old man and the old lady carefully washed the hands of the two little ones.
