Qin Hanshu shook her head, "It's not a matter of whether I want to or not, it doesn't matter."
Zhao Chunmiao said before she left that her family would urge them to have a child, but they did not take any contraceptive measures during this period.
Qin Hanshu's idea was to let nature take its course.
Zhou Weiguang thought about it seriously for a moment, then lowered his head and pecked Qin Hanshu's cheek, saying in a hoarse voice, "Then let's not have children for now, okay? I want to enjoy the days when it's just the two of us for a while longer."
A man who has just lost his virginity only wants to kiss, hug, and make love with his wife every day, and doesn't want another creature to come out and take away their private space.
Zhou Weiguang had previously forgotten to consider this issue, but as soon as it was brought up today, he immediately took action.
If you don't sow seeds, seedlings won't grow.
He understands this principle.
But where else can you sow the seeds if not in the ground? You can't just stuff them back in.
Finally, Qin Hanshu looked angrily at her disheveled state and glared at Zhou Weiguang: "Go boil some water!"
Zhou Weiguang touched his nose guiltily, and even knew to wipe his wife's nose clean before boiling water.

Jiangcheng Department Store's full name is Jiangcheng No. 1 Department Store. A week later, Qin Hanshu officially became a staff member of the Labor and Wages Department of Jiangcheng No. 1 Department Store.
Level 12 clerk, monthly salary 23 yuan.
The workers are the ones who earn the most. Although Qin Hanshu, the clerk, can barely be considered part of the department store's management, her salary is really low, even less than that of the sales clerks downstairs.
However, the labor relations department is a key department, equivalent to the personnel department, which is in charge of recruitment, salaries, benefits, etc. They are very popular and are the kind of people who are flattered in every unit.
Qin Hanshu originally thought that she would at most become a sales clerk in the department store.
"Xiao Qin, we need to create personnel files for these new employees. Could you assist Sister Wu with that?" Wang Yinghui assigned Qin Hanshu the task.
The Labor and Wages Department office is very large, with thirty people. Except for Wang Yinghui, who has a small office next door, all the other staff work in this large office.
Qin Hanshu was assigned a seat by the window, next to a woman in her fifties, whom Wang Yinghui called Sister Wu, who was in charge of the files.
Sister Wu's full name is Wu Yingxia. She is said to be one of the first employees when the department store was established, and she has a long tenure.
Qin Hanshu treated Wu Yingxia with great respect, saying, "Hello, Sister Wu."
Wu Yingxia, who had been expressionless, smiled when she heard Qin Hanshu call her Sister Wu. "I'm over fifty years old, and the new girls who come in now all call me Auntie."
Qin Hanshu smiled and said, "Your skin is so firm, you don't look like someone who is fifty years old. Calling you 'Auntie' would be making you sound old."
Wu Yingxia was used to being flattered, so Qin Hanshu's words were unremarkable. However, although Qin Hanshu spoke eloquently, his expression was not obsequious, and his voice was clear and bright, which made him even more pleasant to look at.
Wu Yingxia's smile widened. "Xiao Qin, right? Don't be shy, we'll all be colleagues from now on."
A middle-aged woman across from me laughed and said, "Is this the first new person to join our labor and personnel department in three years? I didn't expect her to be such a pretty young lady. Those bachelors are practically staring at her."
The male-to-female ratio in the office is fairly even, but the women are mostly older, while the men look younger.
When Qin Hanshu was led into the office by Wang Yinghui, she felt many eyes on her.
"Don't talk nonsense. Xiao Qin is married." Wu Yingxia pointed to the middle-aged woman opposite and introduced her: "Her surname is Zheng. You can just call her Sister Zheng."
Upon hearing Wu Yingxia's words, Sister Zheng exclaimed in surprise, "Xiao Qin is married?"
Qin Hanshu seized the opportunity to explain, "Yes, my husband is a soldier."
Sister Zheng sighed, "They're still military dependents!"
The conversation quickly spread throughout the entire office.
The gazes that had been fixed on Qin Hanshu gradually disappeared.
To the right of the department store is the Xinghai Building, where the entire second floor is a canteen serving the employees of the department store and several import and export companies located within the building.
The department store and several import and export companies are actually part of the same system, all under the jurisdiction of the Municipal Bureau of Commerce. They also have some business dealings with each other, and the employees are quite friendly to one another.
At noon, Wu Yingxia and Sister Zheng took Qin Hanshu to the cafeteria to familiarize her with it.
Several units were having lunch together, and there were many people. Qin Hanshu was carefully selecting dishes from the display window when she turned around and couldn't see Wu Yingxia and Sister Zheng anymore.
He did, however, hit it off with a young woman.
It looked somewhat familiar, but Qin Hanshu couldn't recall where she had seen it before.
The young woman asked hesitantly, "Which import/export company do you work for?"
Qin Hanshu shook her head, "I'm not from an import/export company."
The girl instantly showed a look of disdain, "This cafeteria is not open to the public, didn't you know?"
Although the canteen is not open to the public, it does not take strict measures to prevent outsiders from entering. In order to save time, the ticket window often allows people to buy meal tickets without showing their work ID.
Because the food was good, people working in the surrounding units would often sneak in, making the already crowded canteen even more crowded, and the employees of several units complained a lot.
Qin Hanshu glanced at the girl a few times, then suddenly remembered, "Oh, calcium milk biscuits."
The girl in front of me was the saleswoman I had argued with when I bought calcium milk biscuits last time.
