Chapter 59 I'm afraid I'm going to give birth
When Yang Jinqiang heard this, he stroked his chin and started thinking. It would be much safer if his wife could have a formal job. After all, a formal job can be passed on to the children. But when he thought about the fact that his wife had just graduated from elementary school, he was in a dilemma for a moment.
"Generally, factories do require junior high school graduates for recruitment, and it is rare for people to graduate from elementary school. And my brother-in-law has just been transferred back. Why don't we wait for a while and talk about it after he has established himself on his feet?"
"Well, that's all we can do." Li Huifen nodded, then lowered her head to look at her two sleeping daughters and said with a smile, "Jinqiang, do Zhenzhen and Ningning look like their aunt? Well, it would be good if they look like their aunt. They are beautiful and will find a good husband in the future and live happily forever."
Yang Jinqiang glanced at the two children. Although they were his own children, he couldn't say with a clear conscience that his two daughters would be as beautiful as his eldest sister when they grew up. At present, they still looked more like his wife. They were not as good as the best, but better than the worst!
So he could only say vaguely: "Yes, yes, it would be better if you study better in the future." Even if she can't compare with him in beauty, then she can still work harder in her studies!
Next door, Su Qiuyan also mentioned the job to her husband. She sighed, "I originally thought that my elder sister could arrange it for me directly, but my education level held me back. She said she would help me keep an eye out for jobs."
Yang Jinwei estimated the money at home and said with a smile, "That's fine. There are some news that we can't get. The eldest sister is the wife of the factory director and will have to work in the Women's Federation in the future. She must be well-informed. Let's just wait."
Su Qiuyan nodded. "Yeah, I think so too. Now our family has saved more than 500 yuan, so we can save more. It would be best if we can get a formal job so that we can pass it on to our children in the future."
Yang Jinwei hugged his wife and comforted her: "I'm sorry for wronging you. You are the only one without a job among the three daughters-in-law in the family."
He knew the gap in his wife's heart. Originally, it didn't matter that the three of them were unemployed. But when the eldest sister-in-law and the third brother's wife all got jobs, it made his wife feel disappointed.
Su Qiuyan's eyes were red. With her husband's words, she was not wronged. What she didn't say was that Aunt Xu Baoju next door always mentioned this to her, saying that her husband was not favored, and that she was inferior to the two daughters-in-law. Otherwise, why did the other two daughters-in-law have jobs, but she didn't?
She kept explaining that they bought it with their own money, and her parents-in-law didn't pay for it. Of course, they did contribute one hundred yuan in the end, but she also had that money!
But in the end, Aunt Xu was still muttering there, who knows, you can’t see what is given to you behind the scenes.
It was nothing at first, but she would sometimes doubt it after talking too much. But later she thought that it was wrong, and the repeated emotional struggles made her very uncomfortable.
It was during this period of time when she was helping her third brother's wife to cover for her that she finally came to her senses. Seeing that her mother-in-law had specially asked her eldest sister about work today, she realized that her mother-in-law also took her affairs to heart, and she was satisfied with this.
Jiang Xinbai talked to her husband about her sister-in-law going to high school. After struggling for a long time, she decided to tell him what she knew, half true and half false. Then she looked at her husband straight, wanting to know how he would react.
Yang Jinsheng digested what his wife had just said for a while, then hesitantly asked, "Xiaobai, do you mean that we might be forced to go to the countryside in the future?"
"Well, it can't be said to be compulsory. It should be said that unemployed young people who are not in school or working should go to the countryside to provide support."
Jiang Xinbai stared into her husband's eyes and said word by word, "You must be careful with what you say now, so that no one can catch you with anything."
At this point, she continued to explain: "Look, there are only so many factories in the city, and there is only one vacant position, but there are too many people. In addition, everyone has a city hukou and has a grain ration, but there are only so many farmers who grow grain, and the supply cannot meet the demand. We can only let those unemployed young people go to the countryside to provide support, so that they can earn their own food."
Jiang Xinbai explained this to Yang Jinsheng in detail, and he immediately understood. He clapped his hands and said, "Go, you must go to this school."
He couldn't help shivering when he thought of Xiumin swinging a hoe in the countryside, sweating profusely, with her face tanned.
Jiang Xinbai smiled and patted him, "So you should also persuade Xiumin to continue to go to high school when school starts. Otherwise, with her body, if she really goes to the countryside, the cents she earns won't be enough for her to eat. Most importantly, she can't stand it."
Jiang Xinbai grew up in the countryside. Her parents loved her very much. Except for her eldest sister, she and her second sister usually stayed at home to cook and clean. Even during the busiest harvest season, they were not allowed to go to the fields. At most, they just took care of the fruits and vegetables in their private plots.
If her sister-in-law went to the countryside, she would not be treated like this. Even working in the fields under the hot sun could cost her life. So, as her sister-in-law, she could not just watch and do nothing but remind her tactfully.
…
The days slipped away as Sun Erni's eyes became increasingly passionate day by day, and it was July 10th. According to the time calculation, it was already two days past the due date, but Jiang Xinbai was still stable, with no signs of labor.
That day, she was eating the watermelon sent by her third brother Jiang Baocheng, and she joked with her second sister Jiang Xinlan, "Second sister, you said that the child is still very stable, and there is no sign of coming out. Who knows, he is just waiting for his third uncle's half of the watermelon. He will come after I finish eating it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Xinbai paused while biting the watermelon, and the watermelon fell to the ground with a snap. "Hiss, ha, second sister, it hurts a little..."
Seeing that her expression didn't look fake, Jiang Xinlan stood up quickly and turned around anxiously, "Oh, what should I do? Your mother-in-law has gone to hand in the matchbox. Oh my God, Xiaobai, can you still bear it?"
"It's okay. It only hurts a little bit now. Second sister, go call someone and ask my mother-in-law to come back. You don't have to go by yourself." Jiang Xinbai frowned. The pain was still bearable now, so she quickly gave instructions while it didn't hurt much.
"Okay, I'll go right away." Seeing this, Jiang Xinlan hurriedly prepared to go out. At this time, Li Guiying from next door heard the noise and came out, curiously asking: "Xinlan, why are you so flustered? Be careful."
As soon as Jiang Xinlan saw Li Guiying, she grabbed her and said in a panic, "Aunt Li, Xiaobai said her stomach hurts, she might be about to give birth. Aunt Sun just went out to hand in the matchbox..."
