Chapter 154: Preferring Sons to Daughters
Jiang Xiaoxiao came out, and Guo Dazhuang and the others hurried in.
Guo Dongjun gratefully pulled Jiang Xiaoxiao and thanked her repeatedly.
"Jiang Zhiqing, thank you, thank you so much. If it weren't for you today, I'm afraid I wouldn't have a grandson."
Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but be a little surprised. It was normal to favor boys over girls here.
As an old man, he only cares about his grandson and not his daughter-in-law. You can't say he is wrong.
But I still felt a little uncomfortable.
"Manager, please don't say that. Can I just stand by and watch her die? Cuihua suffered a lot after giving birth to the child, and this is her first child. She must be well taken care of during this confinement period, otherwise, she will have health problems in the future. You should try to give her something good to eat."
Having said that, what Guo Dongjun will do specifically is not something she can control, after all, it is someone else's family affair.
Moreover, people nowadays are not well off, and you cannot force others to do something you cannot do just because of a word you say. She just fulfilled her responsibilities as a doctor and bystander.
"Don't worry, don't worry. We can go hungry, but we will never let our daughter-in-law and grandson go hungry."
After hearing what Guo Dongjun said, Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't want to talk anymore and turned around to pick up her medicine box.
But someone took it away.
"Manager, Xiaoxiao and I will go back first, you guys go do your work."
Guo Dongjun blushed.
It’s not that he doesn’t understand the ways of the world, but he feels ashamed when people say that to him.
When something happens, people become anxious and anxious when they ask for help, and they even want to carry the person over to them.
If you finish your work and don't even send your loved ones off, then you're not a human being.
"I'll take you back. I'll take you back! It's dark and the road is slippery. How can I let the two of you go back like this?"
Hurrying to find a flashlight.
Song Moting stopped him, "Director, please stop being so polite. Your family is so busy, you should take care of it first. Besides, Xiaoxiao will be fine on the way with me by her side. Look, it's almost dawn.
I know the road well, and I have a flashlight. If I send you back, you will have to walk back alone, which will make us worried."
This is true. You know, there are wild beasts on their mountain, and wolves and other animals will run down from time to time.
However, since the mountain was blocked by heavy snow, fewer wild animals came down, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t any.
The mountains were blocked by heavy snow and these wild animals had nothing to eat. If they ran down and were hungry, they would still hurt people.
Guo Dongjun had no choice but to wave his hand.
Jiang Xiaoxiao and Song Moting walked back together.
Song Moting looked at Jiang Xiaoxiao, who was feeling a little depressed.
"What's wrong? Doctor Jiang, you have made the mother and child safe, but you are so depressed. What's the reason? Is it because of the attitude of the director?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao said depressedly, "I just feel that the director keeps talking about his eldest grandson, but never cares about how his daughter-in-law is doing now? Alas, the status of women is really too weak."
"Don't think of the director like that. In fact, he is a good person. Although Guo Dongjun seems to be very cold and ruthless to his daughter-in-law, you don't know that this daughter-in-law is a refugee who came here to escape famine. If Guo Dongjun hadn't been kind-hearted and saved their family, Sister Cuihua might not be able to survive now.
If it weren't for Guo Dongjun's kindness over the years, their forest farm would have taken in many people who fled here due to famine. There are six families in the forest farm, all of whom are outsiders fleeing famine.
You can see that their income from the forest farm is low, and they don’t have much land, so they can barely grow enough food for themselves. And although they are workers in the forest farm, they still have to grow their own land to be self-sufficient.
You only saw that the director seemed to favor boys over girls. But you didn't see that when the director confronted the leaders from the county to protect the female comrades in the forest farm, he was almost fired.
I also heard that the leaders from the county felt that the expenses of the forest farm were too high. The family members of the forest farm workers would rather work on the farms and earn their own work points. But think about it, life in the forest farm is hard, and if you don't even have your own family members,
Who among these workers is still willing to work here? Who doesn’t want to go to the production team at the grassroots level?
Guo Dongjun took his people to negotiate with the higher-ups and finally secured the protection of these employees at the forest farm.
And it also protects the rights of these families. In fact, many families here are grateful to Guo Dongjun.
You can't expect a person to be perfect. If someone has his or her own ideas, you can't force them to do so."
Jiang Xiaoxiao was a little surprised. She didn't know that Guo Dongjun had all these situations.
Of course, what surprised her was that Song Moting knew everything.
"How do you know everything?"
Song Moting smiled.
"Who is like you? You study without a purpose all day. From time to time, I go hunting with the forest workers in the forest farm to teach them some things. In addition, in the forest farm, we sweep snow together, sometimes pass cigarettes and chat, so naturally we know all these things."
Jiang Xiaoxiao suddenly realized that, indeed, Song Moting got along very well with the workers in the forest farm.
"According to what you said, Guo Dongjun is also a good person."
"People can't just look at the surface. The workers in their forest farm all like boys and don't like girls. It's not because girls are bad, but because if you want to take over the job in the forest farm, you can only have sons. If you let daughters do such heavy work and cut wood every day, which girl can stand it?
If you give birth to a girl in the forest farm, can you imagine how life would be easy?"
They live in a remote area. If they really give birth to a girl, if the whole family cannot stay in the forest farm, can they send the girl to the production team at the bottom? Who can they give her to?
Jiang Xiaoxiao sighed, "The forest farm is indeed too hard here."
Song Moting grabbed Jiang Xiaoxiao.
Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at him questioningly.
"Put on your scarf. Look at how frozen your face is!"
I put the red scarf around Jiang Xiaoxiao. The soft and warm scarf covered her slightly cold face.
His slender fingers unconsciously stroked her cheek, bringing warmth.
"Jiang Xiaoxiao, who did you learn medicine from? I really didn't expect you to be so good. Although I have learned medical skills from the adults in my family, I am not good at obstetrics and gynecology."
Song Moting's eyes were full of doting. Jiang Xiaoxiao was not used to his touch yet, so he didn't force her.
When Jiang Xiaoxiao heard this, she relaxed completely.
"I have two great godfathers and godmothers. They have loved me since I was a child. Both of them are doctors in the hospital. One specializes in obstetrics and gynecology and pediatrics. The other specializes in trauma and neurology. I can say that I have learned a lot from them. I can be considered a general practitioner."
This is the excuse she always brings up, otherwise how can she explain this sudden medical skill?
