Everyone who came to attend Bai Shibao's wedding was exhausted from the long journey, but they didn't have time to rest before having to go back to work.
Bai Jiaojiao also made arrangements with Ji Guizhang and they began to continue the experiment.
She continued to follow Guan Shengping, and was assigned a small sub-project under Guan Shengping's experimental project. She could learn from and discuss anything with Guan Shengping.
Xu Hong finally got her wish and took Xiao Shenshi to raise. She originally wanted to leave the child with her, but after discussion, it was decided that she would take care of him during the day and Shenshi would be taken home at night.
Bai Shiqing officially started her job as a staff member of the propaganda team in their street. Little did she know that she would be caught up in the family planning policy as soon as she took office.
"Little sister, you were absolutely right!"
Bai Shiqing remembered that two years ago during the Spring Festival, Bai Jiaojiao had told her that the country would control the number of children people could have, and each family would only have one child.
"Sis, you already have both a son and a daughter, so this policy won't affect you much."
Bai Jiaojiao herself had originally planned to have only one child; she didn't have that much time to have more.
Bai Shiqing said, "Of course I'm not thinking about these things. It's just that there's someone in my workplace who has two daughters. I don't know if it's a family that absolutely needs a son. This is going to be a problem."
When the family planning policy was first implemented, it was extremely strict.
What plan do you have? And why should the people listen to your plan?
Of course, it's a meticulously implemented punishment.
Their propaganda team not only had to go out and promote the good aspects of family planning, but also had to publicize the consequences of violating the policy.
Putting everything else aside, they're paid by the government; if they don't follow the rules, they'll be fired.
“It would be so much better to have a daughter. Daughters are so sweet and caring. I think Xiaoyun is much easier to raise than Yangyang. Shen Heng keeps saying that boys are easy to raise, but he really wants a daughter. He even asked me the other day why Shen Shi is a boy.”
“It’s true. I think Xiaoyun is even more clever than Yangyang. She learns everything faster.” Bai Shiqing spoke of her daughter with a proud look on her face. “But it’s also true that boys are easier to raise. If they make mistakes when they’re older, I can discipline them. I don’t know what to do if Xiaoyun becomes naughty in the future.”
Bai Shibao was often beaten by her when he was a child, but she never hit Ding Shifang.
Bai Jiaojiao thought of Shen Shi and realized that he was not an easy child to deal with.
Some say the child looks like Shen Heng, others say he looks like her, but Bai Jiaojiao is absolutely certain that his personality is just like Shen Heng's.
Shen Shi can't speak yet, but he can argue with his dad at night, making all sorts of noises. When Shen Heng scolds him, he imitates him by making "waaaaa" noises. The two of them are always in a chaotic mess. Bai Dou Dou has to cover his ears or stuff his head up when he sleeps at night.
"I'm not talking to you anymore, you guys take these," Bai Shiqing handed Bai Jiaojiao and Shen Heng a lot of family planning balloons. "But there's something I need to warn you about. These days, people say that families like ours that already have a son have to go to the hospital to have an IUD inserted, because they say we can't have any more children. I'm a little scared when I hear that, so you need to be prepared."
Bai Jiaojiao nodded; she had heard of this before.
She never got married in her past life, so she didn't experience these things. Hearing this, she really needs to be mentally prepared.
Bai Shiqing sighed. She was brave and not afraid of hardship, but she was unwilling to do this.
Putting something in there, I don't know what the people above were thinking.
But not only could she not refute it, she also had to set an example for others and take the lead.
When Shen Heng got home, he saw that Bai Jiaojiao was pale and asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Are you exhausted after taking care of the child all day?"
This afternoon, Shen Heng registered a sole proprietorship business license. He will have to pay taxes from now on, but it will be compliant. After waiting for so long, he can finally unleash his potential outside the special economic zone, so Shen Heng is in a very good mood today.
However, as soon as he entered the door, he noticed that Bai Jiaojiao's expression was strange, and her wide-open teeth immediately disappeared.
I thought Shen Shi was being disobedient, but I found that Shen Shi was sleeping soundly.
"What's wrong?" Shen Heng went over and let Bai Jiaojiao lean against him. Bai Jiaojiao leaned against him and told him what Bai Shiqing had said to her.
"What the hell?" Shen Heng had never heard of it before. "Isn't this just making things worse? If you don't want to have children, you don't have to. Why bother with this extra thing? If you want us to have children, we won't!"
"Theoretically speaking, this surgery is indeed a very effective method. After all, not everyone thinks like us, secretly having children. The government can't catch them all."
They're still being polite and courteous about you having the surgery, but soon the obstetrics and gynecology department will be in charge. After you give birth, they'll immediately insert the IUD, with absolutely no room for negotiation.
The person most worried about Bai Jiaojiao's health wasn't Bai Jiaojiao herself, but Shen Heng: "Can your uncle put in a good word for us? We're not having any more children anyway, can't we ask him to make an exception and let us skip the surgery?"
"They are far too sensitive about this kind of thing, and it's only just been implemented. If my uncle starts using connections, it could cause a huge problem if someone with ulterior motives finds out."
Only Bai Jiaojiao knew how strict the family planning policy was, and how long it had been in effect. It was just like the time when educated youth were sent to the countryside; no one could persuade them otherwise.
Shen Heng's good mood vanished completely. He sat on the sofa in front of the kang (a heated brick bed), resting his hands on his knees, and thought for a while: "If we get an infertility certificate, will we not need to have this surgery?"
That's why Shen Heng is able to make money; it's practically a roundabout way to achieve his goal: "That makes sense! That's exactly the purpose of getting an IUD!"
These days, getting a fake certificate is quite easy as long as you're willing to spend the money. Shen Heng often does this kind of backdoor stuff.
Seeing that Bai Jiaojiao had regained her spirits, Shen Heng smiled and said, "Is this little thing worth worrying about? Leave it to me."
With Shen Heng's assurance, Bai Jiaojiao's earlier disappointment vanished: "Brother Heng, have you gotten your license yet? Does that mean you won't have to hide it anymore when you do business?"
“Hmm,” Shen Heng took out his license and shared it with Bai Jiaojiao, “We finally got it. With this, we’re not afraid of getting caught anymore. Shunzi will be here in a couple of days, and we’ll probably be busy then.”
The business scope of this license is hardware and furniture, which is roughly half of all real business transactions.
Looking at the business license, Bai Jiaojiao felt that the spring breeze had finally blown in from the south. However, even with policy support, there were still very few people who dared to be pioneers, and even fewer with the capital and experience of someone like Shen Heng. Most of them were just small-scale street vendors.
