Chapter 55 Chapter 55 Family Planning Supplies

"Slow down!" Following Jiang Qiuyue's coquettish voice, Lin Zhengrong leaned over her. If she had known that it would take two hours to cooperate, Jiang Qiuyue would not have taken the initiative to kiss him.

I'm so tired. My whole body aches.

She pinched Lin Zhengrong's arm hard, "Don't you know how to learn some skills?"

The man is fierce, but too fierce. He only knows how to bury his head and work hard.

Skill?

What does it mean?

Lin Zhengrong didn't react for a moment. When he realized that Jiang Qiuyue was saying that his skills were not good enough, his face instantly turned red. However, he didn't send the person over. Instead, he put his big hands around Jiang Qiuyue's slender waist and said, "Okay, then you can learn with me."

Seeing Lin Zhengrong approaching again, Jiang Qiuyue quickly pushed him away and said, "Hurry up, I have to cook. Just now, Sister Shuangshuang knocked on the door and I didn't dare to say anything."

Otherwise she would be laughed to death, in broad daylight...it shows how impatient they are.

Jiang Qiuyue didn't have much strength left, so she directed Lin Zhengrong to do the work, "You need to knead the dough repeatedly until it is smooth and not sticky. That's right, start rolling it out."

After Lin Zhengrong finished rolling the noodles, he asked Lin Zhengrong to cut the vegetables, which he was happy to do. Finally, after all the side dishes were prepared, Jiang Qiuyue started to stir-fry the fried dough sticks.

The batter contains mushrooms, green peppers and diced meat. A little starch is added to thicken the sauce before serving. Jiang Qiuyue started to boil the noodles only after Xiao Li arrived.

Xiao Li asked, "Are you only eating noodles today?"

"Yeah." Jiang Qiuyue felt a little guilty, afraid that Xiao Li would notice something, so she turned her back to explain, "I just ate too much rice and wanted to change the taste. I packed the dough and noodles separately, you go quickly, otherwise the noodles will clump together."

Xiao Li didn't suspect anything and quickly rode his bike back.

The hand-rolled noodles were very chewy. After eating, Jiang Qiuyue immediately went to find Wu Shuangshuang and made an appointment to buy a sewing machine together the next day.

Upon learning that it was a reward from Lin Zhengrong, Wu Shuangshuang enviously praised, "Your man is really good. He always thinks about his family. Although we both have the last name Lin, the one in my family is not as good as yours."

As she spoke, she whispered to Jiang Qiuyue, "I knocked on the door all afternoon and you didn't open it. What are you doing?"

"I... I'm taking a nap." Jiang Qiuyue didn't expect Wu Shuangshuang guessed that she was at home.

"Okay, I know you're taking a nap, but you two are together, you really love each other." Wu Shuangshuang patted Jiang Qiuyue's back with a smile, "You can try hard, send Beibei and Nannan to elementary school, and give them a brother or sister."

"What?"

Damn it, Jiang Qiuyue forgot this. She only cared about being happy when she was happy. She didn't want to have children. She already had a son and a daughter, so why did she have so many children?

"Don't tell me, you're working so hard, not just to have a baby?" Wu Shuangshuang has been a little tired recently. She nourishes her husband's body every day, all for the purpose of having a fourth child.

Jiang Qiuyue: "I really didn't think about this. No, I have to go to the hospital immediately."

"Why are you going to the hospital?"

"Get the family planning supplies! Do you want some?" Seeing Wu Shuangshuang shaking her head, she was about to run, but was pulled back.

"The hospital is about to close, so if you want to go, you have to go tomorrow. But don't you want another one?" Wu Shuangshuang didn't quite understand.

"Why would I want it? I went through so much effort to give birth to two children. Now I don't want to have any more. I wish Lin Zhengrong would be sterile." Jiang Qiuyue did have such an idea, but the technology did not exist at that time, and she herself did not want to go on the operating table.

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Lin Zhengrong wearing an apron and coming out from the back door carrying a basin of water.

Sterilization?

Is she that dissatisfied with his skills?

Lin Zhengrong stood there in a daze.

Wu Shuangshuang was so embarrassed that she quickly said "see you tomorrow" and turned around to go home.

Jiang Qiuyue wanted to explain that sterilization did not mean becoming a eunuch, it was just a vasectomy, but Lin Zhengrong had already turned around and went home with a gloomy face.

How did Lin Zhengrong hear it?

When they got home, Jiang Qiuyue approached him coquettishly, "Hey, did you hear that?"

“No.” Lin Zhengrong was busy sweeping the floor. “Please make way.”

"You must have heard it. I didn't mean what you thought. What I meant was that we can't have children, but you can still be full of energy." Jiang Qiuyue tried to explain.

Lin Zhengrong didn't believe it, "I've never heard of this kind of surgery."

Indeed, male sterilization is still not available in the country. Jiang Qiuyue looked at Lin Zhengrong with a headache, thinking that this person was not very smart.

Seeing that Lin Zhengrong had finished mopping the floor, she pulled him into the room, held his face and kissed him, "Don't be angry, I can't bear to let you become a eunuch, wouldn't I suffer too?"

If one kiss is not enough, Jiang Qiuyue will kiss her a few more times.

Her voice was naturally gentle, and now she was whining and hugging him to act coquettishly. Lin Zhengrong couldn't stand it, so he picked her up and put her on the table.

At this moment, Jiang Qiuyue only wanted to please Lin Zhengrong. She wrapped her legs around Lin Zhengrong's thin waist and pulled him forward.

After one night, Jiang Qiuyue fully understood that there would be a price to pay for saying the wrong thing. She waited until Wu Shuangshuang came and knocked on the door before she got up from the bed, rubbing her aching waist.

Seeing Jiang Qiuyue like this, Wu Shuangshuang understood what was going on. "You are still a few years old, so you can do it day or night. How about it, are you still okay?"

"If it doesn't work, let's go tomorrow."

"Good sister, please stop making fun of me." Jiang Qiuyue stretched out her hand. "I've already told you that I must go. Buy the sewing machine as soon as possible, and I'll feel at ease."

Otherwise, if she wanted to use a sewing machine someday and the supply and marketing cooperative didn't have one, she would have to borrow one from someone. After all, the supply and marketing cooperative didn't sell sewing machines every day, and it would be a hassle to go to the city to buy one and take a four-hour round trip.

After washing her face, Jiang Qiuyue finished eating the eggs left for her on the table, then carried Wu Shuangshuang to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Liu Xue was very enthusiastic when she saw Jiang Qiuyue, "Sister-in-law, do you want to buy some fish today? The fish in the sea are especially fresh."

"Did you catch them today? I'll take two!" Jiang Qiuyue asked Liu Xue to help weigh them, and said that she was mainly buying sewing machines today.

"Sister-in-law, you came at the right time. Two sewing machines arrived yesterday." Liu Xue helped to weigh two fish and gave them a full head. "I'll take you to have a look. They're both Flying Man brand. The price is the same, 120 yuan per machine. Just take a look and see which one you like better."

Liu Xue said that sewing machines were in great demand, and that anyone in the family could afford them if they saved a little, except for the ticket. Once there was a ticket, everyone would rush to buy it, so Jiang Qiuyue had to pick one quickly to avoid it being picked up by others.

"Indeed, the conditions for people in the family compound are better." Jiang Qiuyue chose the counter on the right, and she and Wu Shuangshuang carried it to pay the bill.

When others saw them lifting the sewing machine and learned that Jiang Qiuyue wanted to buy it, they were all envious.

"Qiuyue, where did you get the sewn plane ticket?" someone asked curiously, "Tell us about it, and we promise not to tell anyone else."

Jiang Qiuyue thought, who would believe these people? In less than half an hour, they would tell everyone in the compound.

She said proudly, "I didn't get this, it's a reward from my lover."

"Is Deputy Commander Lin so powerful?" someone else exclaimed.

"That's great! Your family just bought a bicycle, and now they've bought a sewing machine. You guys are living a good life."

"Who said it wasn't? Qiuyue's life is so enviable. I think Deputy Head Lin can do housework. I saw him washing dishes the other day, and I asked him why a grown man was doing women's work. He said there is no distinction between men and women when it comes to work, so he was willing to do more. Just listen to how much our Deputy Head Lin dotes on his wife!"

"I'm jealous when you say that."

"Me too!"

Jiang Qiuyue paid the money with a smile. Sure enough, any small incident in the family compound would attract attention. Fortunately, her bicycle ticket and sewing plane ticket were both legitimate, so she didn't have to worry about them getting jealous. But she would have to be more careful when she wanted to make arrangements in the future.

Jiang Qiuyue and Wu Shuangshuang carried the sewing machine to the door. Wu Shuangshuang went to buy vegetables, and Jiang Qiuyue waited at the door for a while.

The people who were watching the excitement just now soon dispersed. Most of them were just watching and talking for a while. Until one day, there was an old lady who kept looking at Jiang Qiuyue, which made Jiang Qiuyue feel uneasy.

When Wu Shuangshuang came out, Jiang Qiuyue walked with her carrying the sewing machine for a while before she asked who the old lady was.

"I've seen him in the pavilion, but I didn't know him." Wu Shuangshuang just knew him but couldn't remember his name.

"I see that look in her eyes. She's almost making me angry." Jiang Qiuyue pouted. "Don't worry about her. I bought a sewing machine today. You can come to me anytime if you need it. Don't be polite to me."

"That's for sure. Need I tell you? I'm definitely not afraid of bothering you." The two of them smiled as they carried the things back, chatting with everyone they met on the way.

The only thing that remains in Grandma Weng’s mind now is that she bought a bicycle and also a sewing machine.

Their family is a neighbor of Hao Jiahui. When Hao Jiahui learned that her son and Lin Zhengrong got along well, she came to their house and asked them to stay away from the Lin family, saying that Jiang Qiuyue was a shrew who would beat people without reason.

"Auntie, you may not know that your Weng Yuan and Lin Zhengrong were evaluated for the group level together, but Lin Zhengrong was selected and your Weng Yuan was not. I heard that Lin Zhengrong gave a gift to someone." Hao Jiahui said this at the end on purpose, "I'm only telling you this, don't tell others."

Grandma Weng hoped that Weng Yuan would have a bright future. When she heard this, she couldn't sleep the whole night.

Why is it that her son Weng Yuan, who works hard, cannot compare to Lin Zhengrong?

Today, when she heard Jiang Qiuyue say that the plane ticket was a reward from Lin Zhengrong, Grandma Weng felt even more unbalanced.

Her family also needs a sewing machine and wants a bicycle, but her son is not a tactful person.

The more Grandma Weng thought about it, the angrier she became. She didn't even buy any vegetables and went home in a huff.

Seeing her daughter-in-law washing clothes in the yard, the old lady called her into the house unhappily and said, "Let me ask you, did your husband tell you about the review group?"

"Yes...I did mention that, but he said..."

"So, he also has a chance?" Granny Weng didn't want to hear what came next, she just wanted the answer she wanted to hear.

Li Pandyi said yes, but Weng Yuan told her that the chances this time were not great because he was inferior to Lin Zhengrong in every aspect and needed to work harder.

The couple said this behind closed doors. Weng Yuan said he was not sure and asked her not to tell anyone else, so she did not.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Granny Weng thought that it was her family who bought the bicycle and sewing machine. She felt so upset that she couldn't even sit still. "If you had told me earlier, Weng Yuan would be the deputy head of the group now. Are you stupid or have you lost your mind?"

The more she looked at her daughter-in-law, the more she disliked her. Granny Weng regretted, "I shouldn't have let you marry Weng Yuan in the first place. Otherwise, with his ability, he could have found a random girl in the army who would be better than a useless person like you!"

Li Pandi was scolded so hard that she dared not even utter a word. Now she did not dare to cry in front of her mother-in-law. She only dared to shed tears when she went out.

Many times, she really didn't know where she went wrong, and today's incident had nothing to do with her.

When Li Pandi was sad, Grandma Weng rushed to the next door and asked, "Jiahui, are you home?"

"Here, here, it's auntie, come in quickly." Hao Jiahui seldom went out since she was beaten by Jiang Qiuyue. She wanted to wait until the wounds on her face healed before going out.

Grandma Weng was dragged into the house, and she didn't come out until Li Pandi finished washing the clothes.

On the other hand, Jiang Qiuyue took the sewing machine back and tried it out. "I have to say, it's good to have a sewing machine. Isn't it much better than our usual hand sewing?"

Wu Shuangshuang nodded and said yes. She brought two pieces of cloth from home and tried to use them. "Those people are right. Qiuyue, you have a good life. Deputy Captain Lin cares so much about the family, so it's no wonder that you serve him day and night."

"Oh, why are you bringing this up again?" Jiang Qiuyue blushed. "That was the good day I deserved. Lin Zhengrong was busy outside, but I managed the house so neatly. Who has a toilet and a bathroom? Who can eat meat every now and then? It's all my credit."

"He and I divided the work and worked together. We both made contributions. It wasn't me who married her to enjoy the happiness. It was him who married me, and I happened to marry him. We both enjoyed the happiness together."

Wu Shuangshuang was stunned. It was the first time she heard someone say this. "I wanted to refute your words, but after thinking about it, I felt that it was true. You are beautiful, can cook, and are a clear-headed person. Even if you don't marry Deputy Head Lin, you can still live a good life. Deputy Head Lin is young, capable, and a decent person. Whoever he marries, he will treat them well."

"It's a good thing for you two to be together."

"That's the truth!" Jiang Qiuyue said.

The sewing machine was new, and Jiang Qiuyue and Wu Shuangshuang used it for quite a while until Bai Xiuxiu knocked on the door and excitedly told Jiang Qiuyue and the others, "I have a job!"

"Sister-in-law, thank you so much. If you hadn't introduced me, I would definitely not have gotten this opportunity. There are so many people who want to follow Master He. If I'm not the first to go, I can't guarantee that he will choose me!" Bai Xiu Xiu was very happy. She actually had a job. Although it was a temporary job as an apprentice, it meant her first step towards independence.

"That's great, I'm so happy for you!" Jiang Qiuyue smiled and poured tea for Bai Xiuxiu. "When do you start working? What's the salary? Does your uncle know?"

"Before I went to see Master He, I told my uncle about this. He didn't react much. He paused and said that it would be nice to have a job as long as it didn't interfere with family matters."

Bai Xiuxiu said, "I can start work tomorrow. I don't have much red ink because I'm an apprentice and a temporary worker. I have to pay Master He five yuan in the first six months, so now I only have ten yuan."

As for filial piety, everyone in the supply and marketing cooperative does this. Bai Xiuxiu is not too dissatisfied. Since the other person taught her skills, she should pay a teacher's fee.

Ten yuan a month is not a lot, but it is much better than before. With this money, Bai Xiu Xiu can support herself.

Wu Shuangshuang asked when she could become a regular employee. "As long as I can become a regular employee, it doesn't matter if the salary is a little lower now. After I become a regular employee, I will have a stable job and won't have to worry about anything."

As a native of this era, she had no idea that there would be a wave of job losses in the future, and she was even less aware that most of the current stable jobs would be gone.

Bai Xiuxiu smiled and said, "It's hard to say whether I can be promoted to a regular employee. My sisters-in-law also know that there are limited places for promotion. Sometimes it depends on other abilities. But I will work hard and strive to be promoted as soon as possible!"

Although you may be laid off in the future, at least for the next ten years, this is a stable job. And you can't do business in the next ten years, so the working class is the best choice.

Bai Xiu Xiu is now very energetic and can't wait for tomorrow to come.

Moreover, sewing clothes is different from being a salesperson. Salespeople work in shifts, but sewing clothes has a stable schedule with only one day off.

Yes, at that time there was no two-day-off work system, and everyone was striving to live a hard and simple life.

Seeing Bai Xiuxiu's face full of anticipation, Jiang Qiuyue thought that only those who had never worked in their previous life could be so energetic.

People are different. Even if they travel through time, they will develop differently.

Jiang Qiuyue congratulated Bai Xiuxiu again. While they were talking, Bai Zheng's voice came from next door. She was looking for Bai Xiuxiu.

Bai Xiu Xiu frowned when she heard this and said goodbye and went back.

As soon as she entered the front door of the Bai family, Bai Zheng looked at her fiercely, "Have you forgotten what I said? You are eating and living in my house now, how can you have the nerve to do such a thing of eating your own food and stealing your own property?"

"Bai Zheng, I don't want to argue with you. You have your choice, and I also have the right to choose my social life." Bai Xiuxiu now has a job and speaks more confidently, "I didn't force you to stop socializing with anyone, and you have no right to ask me to do so."

“Why am I not qualified?”

Bai Zheng was just upset with Jiang Qiuyue. "Bai Xiuxiu, you don't have a job now, and you live in my house. If I let grandma take you back, you can only marry a farmer and work in the fields for the rest of your life! Isn't it because you don't want to live like this that you come to live in my house? Why aren't you afraid now?"

"I'm really sorry to disappoint you. I'll be going to work starting tomorrow." Bai Xiuxiu's tone was still very calm. "Uncle also knows about this. As for grandma, she doesn't care about me at all. Now your mother is in her hometown. She hopes that I can take care of uncle here. She's afraid that there will be no one to take care of the housework. How could she take me back?"

"Bai Zheng, although I live in your house, the work I have done over the years is enough to earn my living. Your words cannot threaten me. We should keep our distance from each other in the future. If you really don't like me, just ignore me. Anyway, I don't like you that much."

Bai Xiu Xiu felt very refreshed after she finished speaking her thoughts in one breath. It was good to have a job, and it made her a much tougher person.

Jiang Qiuyue next door was already making lunch. The sea fish they bought was indeed very fresh and did not require any complicated processing. All they had to do was make some cuts on the back of the fish, add ginger slices and cooking wine, and steam it.

Wu Shuangshuang didn't like it because she said it smelled fishy. But when Jiang Qiuyue steamed it and gave her a bite, she was instantly amazed and asked Jiang Qiuyue to teach her how to make steamed fish.

"Oh, I have to pick up the kids!" Wu Shuangshuang was so busy chatting with Jiang Qiuyue that she forgot about picking up the children.

"Don't be in a hurry, go slowly!" Jiang Qiuyue had just finished speaking when Wu Shuangshuang ran away in a hurry.

Lin Zhengrong did not come back for lunch at noon. Jiang Qiuyue took the two children to eat. They heard from them that National Day was approaching and there would be a National Day party at school.

"I want to go on stage and sing!" Lin Beibei said, "The teacher asked who was willing to perform on stage, and I was the first to raise my hand. Unfortunately, Nan Nan didn't want to go with me. No matter what I said, she wouldn't agree. Mom, will you come?"

Lin Nannan is not that outgoing. She is willing to have simple conversations with others now, but others will talk to her first. She will not take the initiative to talk to anyone except her brother.

Lin Beibei is different. He is a little sunshine. Not only is he talkative, but he is also very outgoing and can chat with anyone for a while.

"Of course, Mom will definitely go for such a good opportunity." Jiang Qiuyue finished her meal contentedly. After sending her three children to school in the afternoon, she went to the hospital to get a box of family planning products.

When Lin Zhengrong was about to turn off the lights at night, he saw Jiang Qiuyue taking out birth control supplies. He asked, "What is this?"
