Whether for the sake of the children or the elderly in the family, moving out is inevitable sooner or later, so it's better to do it sooner rather than later.
"Why not? You're hardworking and dedicated, it's perfectly normal to transfer you out of the forest farm."
"Qinglan can't possibly teach here and then have to go to Qianchuan every Sunday, can she? That's impossible! We definitely have to transfer you two together."
Zhou Mingyuan waved his hand dismissively.
This is perfectly normal. The unit leaders should consider it. How can they expect a couple to live apart forever?
"Oh, thank you so much, Dad. I don't care where I work, as long as the family is doing well, I have no other thoughts."
Although Zhou Mingyuan spoke calmly, Sheng Xiping knew that transferring jobs was not an easy thing.
Everyone knows that working in the bureau is good, and everyone is desperate to get transferred there.
Without Zhou Mingyuan's support, it won't be easy for Sheng Xiping to be transferred to the bureau.
"Wait a minute, Dad, we were talking about Qinglan's pregnancy, how did we end up talking about our job transfer and moving?"
Sheng Xiping thought about it again and felt that something was wrong.
He came down today to persuade Zhou Mingyuan and his wife to stop having children, but how did the topic end up going so far off track?
"Isn't that what I'm saying? You don't need to worry about Qinglan's job. As for the school, whether she gets punished or not, it's not a big deal."
Many of them in this graduating class are married, so what? They're legally married couples, are they not allowed to have children?
On the other end, Wang Chunxiu spoke.
"When Qinglan called me, she said that she didn't have many classes in the second semester of her senior year. She mainly had to prepare her graduation thesis and take some exams."
She really wanted to keep the child; if she didn't have it now, she was afraid she wouldn't have the chance to have one later.
Wang Chunxiu sighed. As a mother, she could understand her daughter very well. After all, she was her own flesh and blood, and how could she bear to give her up?
"As for me and your dad, you're overthinking it. This matter has little to do with us," Wang Chunxiu said with a dismissive smile.
"We were just trying to scare you, mainly to see what you would think."
Not bad, you're quite thoughtful, always considering Qinglan's and our needs. It's clear Qinglan didn't misjudge you.
Alright, let's eat. Your mom said she's going to take a few days off to go to the provincial capital to see Qinglan and accompany her for a checkup.
As long as the child is healthy, you should keep the baby. You two are not young anymore, and who knows what policies will be in place in the future.
Since we're already here, we should just keep using it. At worst, it'll be tough for a few years, but things will get better when the child starts daycare.
The older generation all hoped for a large and prosperous family, and Wang Chunxiu and Zhou Mingyuan were no exception.
Since their daughter was determined to have it, they couldn't very well force her against it. Everyone lent a hand to help, and things would be easier once the child was older in a few years.
Sheng Xiping still harbored some doubts.
After all, he had lived a second life, experienced some things, and knew the pros and cons involved.
But since his father-in-law and mother-in-law hadn't experienced it before and didn't know what was going on, Sheng Xiping didn't say much.
Okay, since you all agree to keep it, then let him stay. If anything happens in the future, he can take responsibility.
What can we do? That's his wife, his child.
“Okay, I’ll ask for leave in advance and go with you whenever Mom leaves.”
His wife is pregnant; how could he not go and see her? He has to go and make arrangements, right?
“Okay, let’s go together in a couple of days,” Wang Chunxiu agreed with a smile.
Sheng Xiping also felt hungry at this moment, so he ignored everything else and slurped up the food to fill his stomach.
The next day, Sheng Xiping took a car back to Qianchuan and explained the situation to his parents.
Sheng Liancheng and Zhang Shuzhen were quite moved to learn that their in-laws had such long-term plans.
Hearing that Sheng Xiping would be going to the provincial capital in a few days, Zhang Shuzhen told him to take more money with him and make proper arrangements for Zhou Qinglan, so that nothing would go wrong.
Two days later, Wang Chunxiu called to say that she had taken leave.
So, the mother and daughter boarded a train to the provincial capital. Once there, they accompanied Zhou Qinglan to the hospital for a checkup.
Only after confirming that Zhou Qinglan and the fetus were both in good condition and there were no major problems did they feel relieved.
Afterwards, Sheng Xiping approached Chen Ruiqing and asked him to find the relevant department heads and advisors at the school, invite them out for a meal, and ask them to take care of Zhou Qinglan appropriately.
Pregnancy is very hard for women, especially for Zhou Qinglan who also has to study and her husband is not around to take care of her. She can only ask the people around her for help.
This is something that can't be hidden no matter how hard you try; it'll come out sooner or later, so it's better to just say it outright from the start.
The school was informed beforehand, so they can handle any issues promptly and avoid being caught off guard.
Fortunately, the regulations weren't too strict at that time, and everyone turned a blind eye to it, so things got through.
If it's another two years, who would dare to help keep it a secret? Anyone who knows but doesn't report it will be held accountable.
Zhou Qinglan and Sheng Xiping are a legally married couple, so it's perfectly normal for them to get pregnant and have children. This isn't like they're messing around at school.
Furthermore, Zhou Qinglan's job was basically confirmed, the receiving unit didn't say anything, and the school didn't want to cause trouble, so they tacitly approved it.
Sheng Xiping and Wang Chunxiu stayed in the provincial capital for a few days. Seeing that Zhou Qinglan was in good condition and had no reaction, they were relieved.
Wang Chunxiu was busy with work and couldn't take too long a leave of absence, so she stayed in the provincial capital for two or three days before heading back.
Sheng Xiping had nothing to do. This was the season when his family was harvesting wild cattle hair, and the processing plant was on holiday, so all the employees went up the mountain to earn money.
