After seeing He Tingjun off, Feng Juan asked Yun Qiao some more questions, all about her plans after marriage, such as joining the army, work, and when she planned to have children.
Feng Juan was worried about Yun Qiao's married life and talked to her a lot, so Yun Qiao didn't go back to the clinic that night and stayed with Feng Juan to sleep with her.
Lying side by side on the bed, arm in arm, just as Yun Qiao was about to doze off, Feng Juan suddenly spoke: "Yun Qiao, if you don't want to have a child too soon, have Tingjun go to the hospital to get condoms. Don't be so foolish as to take pills yourself. Wearing condoms is fine, and it doesn't affect men or women. Taking too many birth control pills is not good for your health."
As soon as Feng Juan said this, Yun Qiao's sleepiness disappeared without a trace.
She had never imagined that one day she would discuss married life with her parents. Her cheeks flushed red and her voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum: "My dear mother, have you forgotten what I do? I'm a health worker myself. I know all this stuff."
"I know you understand, but I'm afraid you're soft-hearted and can't stand a man's obsession." Feng Juan is an experienced person. Even though she knows her daughter's major, she still can't help but remind her a few more times, for fear that if she doesn't remind someone, she will sacrifice her health.
Yun Qiao's heart softened, and he turned over and hugged Feng Juan's waist: "Don't worry, Mom, I know the severity of the situation, and I will never hurt myself at any time."
Feng Juan placed her hand on Yun Qiao's, gently stroking the back of her hand with her calloused fingers. She said softly, "When you get married, I will take Yuanyuan back to the capital. When you have children in the future, I will come back to take care of you and the child."
Yun Qiao said reluctantly: "Mom, I don't want you to leave..."
"Mom doesn't want to leave either." How could she bear to leave her newly adopted daughter, whom she had only been with for half a year?
"But your brother is not young anymore, he has to get married. It's not convenient for me, his step-daughter, to live with Aunt Feng and Yuanyuan. The girl will also mind."
"Then you can live with me, I don't mind." Yun Qiao said coquettishly.
Feng Juan touched Yun Qiao's hair and said unhappily, "You don't mind, but you have to consider Tingjun's feelings. Which newly married couple would like to live with their husband? I don't want to be your light bulb."
"Don't worry, I will come back. When you get pregnant in two years, Mom will come back to wash your clothes, cook for you, and take care of your health."
"Okay, okay." Yun Qiao rested his head on Feng Juan's shoulder and said, "Then I'll wait for you for a year or two."
"Are you going to have a baby in the next year or two?" Feng Juan frowned slightly. "You have to think it through. After you have a child, your life won't be as free as it is now. You have to consider whether the child will cry or make a fuss before you go out. You are still young, why not wait a few more years?"
Yun Qiao shook his head. "No, I've already thought it through. Young people recover quickly, so the hard work will only last two or three years. Once the child grows up and goes to kindergarten or elementary school, it will be easier."
The college entrance examination was resumed at the end of 1977. In her previous life, she was unable to take the college entrance examination in order to take care of her family. This was her regret, so she must take it in this life.
Besides, she had never studied medicine and only had a high school diploma. These were difficult times for the country, and regulations were not yet standardized, so the requirements for rural health workers were not high. But she wanted to continue in this profession, and without a degree, she couldn't.
