There is no other.
Miao Lishan had just finished recounting this farce.
Zhang Guoqing over there was also holding a letter from his hometown.
"My second brother said that the production teams near the county town are in chaos now. Many educated youth have become Chen Shimei and Pan Jinlian. This year's batch of newly admitted university students almost caused a death."
"commit a sin!"
Zhang Guoqing nodded in agreement with his mother-in-law's words, "It's better for those people not to have children, otherwise the children would be the ones who suffer the most."
Zhou Jiao's eyes narrowed slightly when she heard this. After winking at him, she really buried her head in sorting out the "fruits" of her afternoon stroll.
When discussing this topic again, we can’t avoid talking about the ownership and child support of the child.
What’s done is done.
She didn't want her mother to come to her senses, which made everyone feel a little awkward.
Now her mother is a competent wife, a competent mother-in-law, and a competent grandmother, which is enough.
Zhou Jiao didn't want to comment further on the topic of educated youth.
The legendary educated youth may really be like the Chen Shimei and Pan Jinlian described by Zhang Laoer. But it's not absolute, there are also good ones, right?
There was no educated youth who did not long to return to the city, including those who had already married and had children in the village. For them, returning to the city had become an obsession.
Their families are in the city, their dreams are in the city. Compared to the impoverished countryside and heavy labor, the decent and relaxed life in the city is clearly what they desire.
Having lost all hope of returning to the city before, now he is like a dying person grabbing a life-saving straw. It is just the outbreak of the darkest side of human nature.
Ultimately, it’s all caused by this era.
They are all pathetic, pitiful and lamentable products.
Especially those educated youth who were forced into marriage...
Aunt Chen, who came in with tea, sighed, "It would be great if the educated youth who passed the exam could also register their spouses and children."
This sentence hits the nail on the head.
Having household registration and food rations can really solve a lot of problems. After all, not everyone can bear the condemnation of conscience and abandon their family at the risk of ruining their reputation.
Zhou Jiao's eyes sparkled when she heard this. Imagination is beautiful, but reality doesn't allow it.
The reason so many people went to the countryside to work in the fields was probably because the urban population was too large. Now, more than a decade later, not only have they all married, but they have also had many children.
If a huge population base were to pour into cities from rural areas all at once, not to mention the housing problem, even the daily food supply would be overwhelmed.
Aunt Chen is not a talkative person.
After saying this, she didn't wait for any answer, she just complained.
Although Zhou Xiaozheng is a high-ranking official, she has come to understand through subtle influence over the years that higher-ranking officials have to consider more issues.
"Xiao Wu, Dayi called this afternoon. He heard that you weren't home and said he'd come over after dinner and told you not to go out. From what he said, it wasn't an urgent matter."
Zhang Guoqing took a sip of tea and shook his head with a wry smile.
Seeing this, Miao Lishan didn't care about anything else. As soon as Aunt Chen left, she immediately asked, "What's the matter?" It was rare for her son-in-law to have such an expression.
Zhang Guoqing touched the back of his neck and said, "He always wants to snatch my son away."
Miao Lishan immediately laughed out loud, "Our family won't suffer any loss. Little Tang'er is so pretty and smart. She's not marrying him off. But we can't agree right away. We have to wait until the child grows up before we decide."
"Um."
"By the way, what's going on with that girl from the Mo family?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Guoqing looked at Zhou Jiao and then looked at Miao Lishan in confusion. How could he bring up this issue?
"Mom, is the Mo family looking for you?"
Miao Lishan shook her head. "Not really, I just noticed that this girl has become much more refined. She's asked me when I'll be back safely several times when we meet.
She seems to be the same age as us, right? They used to play together all the time, but I don’t know how they are doing now. She is pretty and has a good personality.
Zhou Jiao looked at her amusedly, "Didn't you ask about Ping An before?"
"I asked him, and he said he's not considering these issues right now. I just think it's a shame, as the two families know each other well. Ping An can wait until he's 25, but girls can't wait."
Zhou Jiao smiled noncommittally, "It's useless. No matter how good our ideas are, he still has to like them. Mom, you don't want to be a grandmother, do you?"
Miao Lishan chuckled and shook her head. "The soonest we can do that is after the kids graduate. I'm just looking for girls who might be suitable."
Zhou Jiao disagreed with her mother's thinking. What the elders thought was appropriate might not necessarily be considered good by the younger generation. It was pure worry.
Her three sons were very shrewd. Although they didn't say it out loud, even the youngest twins probably already had an idea of what kind of partner they wanted.
Didn't he indulge Xiaotang'er during Liuyi? Otherwise, with his intelligence, how could he not understand the little girl's little thoughts?
When Yi Tangtang walked in with Yi Jiefang's arm around her, she saw her godfather and godmother sitting next to each other on the sofa, whispering something to each other.
Outsiders said that her mother was extremely lucky to marry her father and that they had a very good relationship, but she still felt that her godfather and godmother were the loving couple who were in love with each other.
"Hello grandma, good evening, godmother and godfather."
Yi Jiefang patted his daughter's head, looked at Miao Lishan and said with a smile: "Auntie Shan, my Uncle Zhou is not at home again?"
"Should be back soon. Have you eaten yet?"
Yi Jiefang nodded, looked at the chocolates and candies on the coffee table, and said with a smile: "Auntie Shan went shopping today? No wonder I couldn't find Xiaowu."
Zhou Jiao, who was standing by, waved at Yi Tangtang with a smile on her face, "Why isn't your mother here?"
Yi Tangtang trotted a few steps, squeezed next to her, and sat on the armrest. "My mom said she has to watch over the brothers' studies tonight. You guys will get together again in a few days, and she'll chat with you later."
Zhou Jiao tucked the tangled hair from her temples behind her and said, "Let your mother take you there that day."
Zhang Guoqing pointed at the sofa in front of Yi Jiefang and asked, "Your wife wants to get together again? Who will be there this time?"
Yi Jiefang sneered, "It's just a women's gathering, why do you care so much? Speaking of which, shouldn't we brothers get together too?"
Zhang Guoqing rolled his eyes at him, "Who was so anxious to go pick up his wife last time?"
Upon hearing this, Yi Tangtang rubbed against Miao Lishan, who was laughing quietly, and winked.
Miao Lishan patted her in a scolding tone, "Ignore them, they are both the same. Is your grandma busy lately? I haven't seen her for a long time."
"I went out with my grandfather in the evening, saying he was going to visit my aunt. He wanted to take me with him, but I said I missed you and my godmother."
Miao Lishan praised with a smile: "How good."
"Then you have to love me more." Yi Tangtang looked at his father who was chatting happily, and whispered in his ear, "When will my brothers come home?"
Miao Lishan looked at Zhou Jiao, and the mother and daughter smiled at each other, then said, "Just in the next two days. When they come back, I'll call you to see if they brought any gifts for our little Tang'er."
Yi Tangtang pursed his lips, "I don't want it. They always give me empty bullets."
"Haha, okay, our little Tang'er doesn't want it. Grandma will buy you a skirt." Miao Lishan stood up and took her hand. "Jiaojiao, let's try it on little Tang'er to see if it fits."
