Half an hour later, Zhou Jiakang was exhausted and entered sage mode, wanting only to sleep.
Sun Fengjiao had a satisfied look on her face as she directed Zhou Jiakang to stuff a pillow under her waist, hoping that she could successfully conceive a son this time.
A few days ago, she heard from the educated youth who had returned to the city to visit their relatives that the birth control plan in the city has become increasingly strict.
Many dual-income families don’t dare to have a second child after having the first one, no matter if it’s a boy or a girl.
They were afraid that if they had another child, both husband and wife would lose their jobs.
In 1972, some officials came to their village to promote it, but there was no strict requirement and no one took it seriously. They just had children anyway.
But now she heard from the educated youth who had returned from visiting their families that the higher-ups were starting to get serious about it.
She had to give birth to a boy before the higher-ups came up with a real policy.
When she thought about going back to her parents' home during the Chinese New Year, her sister-in-law, her brother's wife and even her mother all hinted to her, either explicitly or implicitly, that she had no son and her daughter would sooner or later belong to someone else's family, and that she would have to rely on her nephew from her mother's side when she got old, so they asked her to move her belongings back to her parents' home to support her nephew.
She was holding her breath in her heart, but she was not stupid, was she?
If the thing that crawled out of her own belly is unreliable, how can the thing that crawled out of someone else's belly be reliable?
But she didn't want to confront her family directly.
After much thought, she decided that she could only give birth to a son to shut up her parents and put an end to their thoughts.
After this day, Shen Chuning and Zhou Yubai began to separate and be busy again.
Zhou Yubai is busy handing over his work in the army.
Shen Chuning was busy handing over work at the unit.
She had just been transferred to the county committee and had been working there for two months when she was about to be transferred with the army again. She felt a little embarrassed when she went to handle the paperwork.
The comrade who was handling the formalities smiled and comforted her, "Comrade Shen, you don't have to feel any psychological burden. No matter where you work, you are working to build our great motherland and make a difference!"
Shen Chu Ning felt a lot more relaxed all of a sudden.
Soon after she completed the work handover and the certificate of transfer of grain and oil relations and returned to the office, Liu Yanfeng came to see her.
"Brother Yanfeng."
Shen Chuning greeted Liu Yanfeng first.
"Are you going to join the army?" Liu Yanfeng asked her with a gentle smile.
Shen Chuning nodded, "Brother Yanfeng, don't worry, I'm not at home, my dad and my brother and sister-in-law will take good care of my uncle."
"With my second uncle, Zhengxu and Zhengliang here, I'm not worried about my father. I'm here to bring you something on behalf of the secretary."
Liu Yanfeng handed a letter to Shen Chuning, "This is the recommendation letter the secretary wrote to you. The secretary said that with your ability, even if you join the army, you can still contribute to the construction of socialism in your job, so he wrote a special letter of introduction for you to prevent talents from being buried."
When Liu Yanfeng said this, there was a sense of pride on his face.
Shen Chu Ning's little face was also full of pride.
She knew that the secretary must have given her this letter because of the teacher's face, but if the secretary did not recognize her work ability, he would not have given her this letter of recommendation just because of the teacher's face.
Liu Yanfeng took out another letter and gave it to her. "Ningning, this letter is a personal letter from your brother to you. Keep it and read it when you get back."
She was a little confused as to why Liu Yanfeng couldn't say anything to her in person and why he needed to write to her.
But since her brother said so, she obediently put the letter away carefully.
Liu Yanfeng gave Shen Chuning some more instructions, and just as he was about to leave, Shen Chuning quickly stopped him, "Brother Yanfeng, wait a minute."
As she spoke, she took out two bags of fruit from under the desk.
They are all produced in her space.
Now, in addition to citrus and sugarcane, the fruits in the space also include apples, pears, peaches, apricots, and loquats, which are all ripe.
It’s just that fruits such as peaches, apricots, and loquats are neither in season now nor can they be stored well.
Shen Chu Ning naturally couldn't take it out.
So she packed two bags of apples, pears and oranges.
She had originally planned to deliver it to the secretary and Liu Yanfeng after get off work.
Now that Liu Yanfeng was here, she gave it to him directly.
She had brought oranges to Liu Yanfeng several times before.
So when he saw her taking the fruit, Liu Yanfeng didn't refuse and picked it up directly, "Ningning, then I won't be polite to you.
Your oranges are different from those bought outside. Even my grandfather said that after eating the oranges you gave him, he felt more relaxed this winter. ”
Liu Junpei has a long-standing problem of emphysema. In previous years, he suffered from coughing and difficulty breathing from the beginning of winter until the weather warmed up completely in spring.
But last year, his symptoms were relieved after he ate the oranges given by Shen Chuning for the first time.
Shen Chuning certainly knew the effect of the fruits grown in her space, and she gave them to Liu Yanfeng because Liu Yanfeng was good to his uncle and their family.
Shen Chuning then brought another bag of fruit to Kong Xiangjun.
Kong Xiangjun had eaten Chen Chuning's oranges before, and knowing that they were grown by Chen Chuning herself, he didn't bother to be polite with her.
After accepting it, he said to her kindly: "Comrade Xiao Shen, your work ability is not only recognized by me, but also by everyone.
When you and your lover arrive at the army, you must work hard and not embarrass your teacher, do you understand? ”
"Leader, don't worry, I will work hard, live up to the teacher's teachings, and contribute my own strength to the construction of our greatness." Shen Chuning answered seriously.
*
After Liu Yanfeng brought the fruit given by Shen Chuning home, he gave it to Liu Junpei, “Grandpa, last time you said that after eating the oranges given by Ningning, your old emphysema problem felt much better.
Ningning gave me some more today. I'll put it at home for you. Remember to eat it every day. ”
When Liu Junpei heard his grandson's words, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes.
He nodded, "Ningning is such a good person, Yanfeng, thank her on behalf of grandpa.
Your father is now living in your second uncle's house to recuperate. You should visit your second uncle more often on your days off and send as much rice, flour, meat, oil and other things as possible. ”
Liu Junpei sighed, "Our family owes your father too much..."
As he spoke, he felt a little uncomfortable in his lungs. He opened the bag that Liu Yanfeng had brought back and wanted to take out an orange to eat.
But when he saw what was in the bag, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
