Chapter 67 Eight Dolls

Generally, officers who are promoted to the rank of regimental commander are in their fifties. There are only a handful of regimental commanders like Huo Jingyuan who are only thirty years old in the country.

Hearing this, Wen Ci's eyes fell on the captain's wife. She was wearing loose clothes and it was obvious at a glance that she was pregnant.

The wife of the head of the Fifth Regiment looked to be in her forties, an advanced maternal age. She looked very mentally ill, and could not help but say:

"Sister-in-law, you should go get a physical examination."

Northwest Hospital is divided into three departments: surgery, internal medicine, and obstetrics and gynecology. Obstetrics and gynecology is the top priority of the hospital, providing protection for the children of military families.

"What's the matter?"

Wen Ci shook his head: "Nothing, I just saw that you looked very bad."

The wife of the head of the Fifth Regiment was called Wang Gui. She puffed out her belly, smiled, and said, "It's normal to look pale. I'm pregnant with twins and I'm old, so it's inevitable that I'll have some hardship."

She is a local of Hai City and had a check-up at the hospital before coming here.

“I see.”

Wen Ci's eyelids drooped slightly, and she instantly gave up the idea of ​​having twins. The baby looked to be four or five months old, while the twins would only be two or three months old.

"It is normal for a woman who is pregnant with twins to have a bad complexion. I gave birth to eight babies, one of which was also twins and her complexion was even worse than Guihua's. There is no need to go to the hospital and waste money."

Wen Ci's eyes widened.

Gave birth to eight children.

More than a decade ago, when the country had not yet implemented family planning, every household had to have at least four or five children. But having too many children would cause irreversible damage to the body.

Wang Gui laughed and said, "My husband is not as capable as Sister Lan's husband. They only had a child after more than ten years of marriage. I also want to be as blessed as Sister Lan with many children."

As they spoke, several people looked at Wen Ci. She looked the youngest among the people around them, so they asked curiously, "When do you plan to have a child?"

Wen Ci lowered his eyes.

She wanted to have a baby early so that she could take good care of her body while she was still young.

"Having a baby is a matter of fate."

As soon as Wen Ci finished speaking, the small loudspeaker on the stage sounded, and the leader said with a smile: "Welcome all the military families to the Northwest. You have worked hard on the journey."

After saying this, he bowed deeply to all the family members present. The arrival of the family members made the Northwest Military Region a real home for the soldiers.

"The purpose of holding this meeting today is to hope that everyone can speak frankly about any difficulties at home, and we will solve them all at once if we can."

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other.

Although the Northwest is remote, the welfare for family members is really good. Not only are there travel subsidies, but family subsidies are also paid every month.

Each family member accompanying the troops can receive an additional ten dollars.

Most of them are rural women. They usually help their parents with farm work in their hometown and live on the salary sent by their husbands every month.

"Don't worry, superiors. We won't have any difficulties."

The leader continued, "We want to set up a women's association for the Northwest Military Region. What do you think? Speak freely."

Zhang Lan asked casually, "What is the Women's Association?"

"Uh..." The leader paused and gave a very official explanation: "The Women's Association needs to unite everyone and also take on the responsibility of promoting and safeguarding the rights of all women."

"Does it require education?" someone asked.

"It's not necessary to be well-educated to be able to mobilize everyone."
