Chapter 84
Lu Haici walked to his mother and said affectionately: "Our teacher was arrested, and the principal gave us a holiday today. Mom, when are you going to give birth to a little brother or sister?"
Lin Qingqing wanted to curse, when would it be her son's turn to give birth? "Why do you suddenly ask this?" Did someone say something in front of him? Thinking of this possibility, Lin Qingqing's eyes flashed with a fierce look.
Lu Haici said: "Because Ji Yang's mother didn't give birth to a brother or sister, it seems that she went to the hospital to have an abortion, and Ji Yang's father found out, and they are arguing for a divorce. Mom, if you don't give birth to a brother or sister, will Dad divorce you?"
Lin Qingqing: "..." What is this child talking about? "No. But how do you know about Ji Yang's parents? Did Ji Yang tell you?"
Lu Haici nodded: "Well, Ji Yang said that his mother went to the hospital for an abortion, and his father found out, and they were clamoring for a divorce. Mom, why did Ji Yang's mother want to have an abortion? Ji Yang said that abortion means getting rid of the baby in the belly. Mom, you can't get rid of the little brother or sister in your belly. I really want a little brother or sister. I don't want mom and dad to divorce either."
"..." Lin Qingqing didn't know what to say. Children nowadays are really too precocious. "Don't tell anyone else about this. It's Ji Yang's family business, and we can't help. However, as Ji Yang's good friend, you have to comfort Ji Yang."
Lu Haici: "Don't worry, mom, I know."
The mother and son had lunch. Lu Haici read at home, and Lin Qingqing went to Yu Xiuyao's house. Yu
Xiuyao has been really happy in the past three years. In the past three years, she has saved 2,000 private money, all of which she earned with Lin Qingqing, plus the profit from her salted duck eggs. If it was three years ago, she would never have thought of this.
Yu Xiuyao had lunch and was about to make salty food when she saw Lin Qingqing coming. "Qingqing is here..."
"Sister-in-law." Lin Qingqing came to the door of the kitchen, "Sister-in-law, the situation has been a little tense recently, and this tension has even affected the army, so I am worried that our saltiness will be used as an excuse. I want to end the private agreement with the supply and marketing cooperative."
Yu Xiuyao was stunned, and then she said, "Okay, safety is still important." She is very open-minded.
Lin Qingqing said, "However, the saltiness issue will not stop. I will apply to the army and set up a food company in the name of the army. I just don't know whether it will succeed for the time being. I will reveal some information to sister-in-law first, and as for the other sisters-in-law, let's not tell them for now, keep it confidential."
Yu Xiuyao was originally open-minded, although she was a little disappointed, after all, she could make a lot of money a year, but now she heard Lin Qingqing say this, she is a little excited. Wait... "Qingqing, if halogens can no longer be made privately, then can my salted duck eggs also be made?"
Lin Qingqing said, "Yes, sister-in-law, if you are willing, you can sell the method of making salted duck eggs to the supply and marketing cooperative. There are no ducks on the farm, so salted duck eggs cannot be made. Otherwise, just like making halogens, the farm can also make salted duck eggs." However, there are pigs and chickens, and the farm has enough poultry. Now there are more than 130 military wives who are not busy with the work on the farm. The farm has also hired several women from nearby production brigades. Even Lin Yiyang's wife Wang Qiuyue is now an employee on the farm. But Wang Qiuyue's treatment is different from Lin Yiyang's. Doctor Lin's treatment was based on the treatment of workers, while Wang Qiuyue's treatment was the same as that of military wives, with an annual salary of about 50 yuan, plus food in exchange for work points. For Wang Qiuyue, being able to be with her husband and having a higher income than when she was in the production brigade, she was satisfied.
Yu Xiuyao thought for a while: "Then I will sell the method of making salted duck eggs to the supply and marketing cooperative. This is not our ancestral method. There are other people in my mother's family who can make salted duck eggs."
Lin Qingqing said: "Tomorrow is the weekend, so let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative together tomorrow morning to discuss this matter with Director Ma."
Yu Xiuyao: "Okay."
After Lin Qingqing and Yu Xiuyao discussed the matter, they prepared to go back home and explain it to Lu Haici. When passing by Ji's house, she saw Xu Huijuan coming out with a suitcase. She was followed by Ji Yang, who held her back and wouldn't let her go.
Ji Yang cried, "Mom, don't go, Mom, don't go, wuwuwu..." Ji Yang held Xu Huijuan back while crying.
Lin Qingqing was a little embarrassed. She had encountered this incident, and she couldn't just watch it happen, right? In the past three years, she and Xu Huijuan had gotten along well. Seeing this situation, she could only speak up: "Mother Ji Yang, why don't you come to my house and sit for a while? You see Ji Yang is so reluctant to leave you, can't we talk it out nicely if there is anything?"
"Aunt?" Ji Yang looked at her gratefully, "Aunt, my dad is so fierce, he is so bad, wuwuwu..."
Xu Huijuan felt a little embarrassed when she met Lin Qingqing. She packed her luggage and prepared to leave, but it was also impulsive. She thought Ji Changfeng would come to pull her away, but he didn't. Now that Lin Qingqing said this, she at least had a step down, so she said: "I don't know what to do, alas..."
"If you don't mind, you can tell me, I will be a good listener." As she said, she took Xu Huijuan and walked towards her home.
Lin gently took Xu Huijuan to her home. She poured Xu Huijuan a cup of tea and said to Ji Yang, "Ji Yang, you and Lu Haici go into the house to play... Lu Haici, Ji Yang is here."
Lu Haici said in the house, "Ji Yang, come quickly."
Ji Yang looked at Xu Huijuan and was still worried about his mother. He was afraid that his mother would leave as soon as he entered the house.
Lin said gently, "Please put her in the house. I will watch over your mother."
Ji Yang: "Thank you, auntie."
After Ji Yang entered the house, Lin said gently, "Mom Ji Yang, I heard Ji Yang tell Hai Ci about your situation. He said that his father knew about your abortion, so you two are arguing about divorce. This matter makes him very worried and frowns.
But I think if there is any relationship between you two, Conflicts can be discussed in a good way, but some things are better kept away from children. Regardless of whether this is true or false, it will not be good for you if Ji Yang tells others. There are many people in the family compound, and you don’t know how gossip will spread. And Ji Yang is a child, he is worried about his parents, and he will not be on guard, so it is understandable that he said some things. "
Lin Qingqing said these words after thinking about it. Ji Yang will tell Lu Haici about this, and may also tell other children who are good friends. What if the children also tell their parents like Lu Haici did, and it will not be good if the news spreads. After all, abortion and divorce are not glorious things, and it will damage your reputation.
Of course, Lin Qingqing also thought that if she told Xu Huijuan about this, Xu Huijuan might turn against her. But let it be, just consider it as she has seen through a person and that her good intentions led to bad results.
When Xu Huijuan heard what Lin Qingqing said, her face first turned red, and then she sighed. She hadn't thought that Ji Yang would tell this matter to others, but she didn't blame Ji Yang, she knew that Ji Yang cared about her. It was just that this matter made her very embarrassed in front of Lin Qingqing, but it was embarrassing, and Lin Qingqing also encountered what happened today. Besides, they were neighbors, and neighbors had no secrets. She didn't blame Lin Qingqing either. In the past three years of getting along with Lin Qingqing, she also got to know Lin Qingqing a little. Lin Qingqing was different from many women in the family compound. She never gossiped. So she understood that this was Lin Qingqing's good intention.
Now that Lin Qingqing knew about this, she confessed. In fact, she also wanted someone to talk to. Because she was reborn, she didn't even have a close friend in these years.
"Comrade Lin, there is something I want to ask you. We are both stepmothers. I haven't had a child in the past three years because I don't want to. I treat Ji Yang as my own son and don't want to have any more. What about you? You haven't had a child in the past three years either. Don't you want to have any more?" Xu Huijuan asked. She is not a very smart person, so she asked directly. And she thinks that there is no need to beat around the bush about this matter. After all, Lin Qingqing was also direct about her own affairs. Hearing
Xu Huijuan asking about this, Lin Qingqing said frankly: "I am still young and don't want to have a child so early. When I got married, my grandfather also told me to wait a few years before getting pregnant. This is good for the body of lesbians."
Xu Huijuan knew that Grandpa Lin was a doctor. She knew it in her previous life. After hearing what Lin Qingqing said, she was not sure whether what Lin Qingqing said was true or not. She remembered that in her previous life, Lin Qingqing had been married for several years and had no children. Now that she thought about it, although Lin Qingqing in this life and Lin Qingqing in her previous life are completely different people, they are the same in the matter of having children. The two have been married for several years and have no children.
In this way, what Lin Qingqing said might be true. Lin Qingqing in both lives decided to have children later because of the advice of Grandpa Lin.
Xu Huijuan guessed her own thoughts and did not continue to entangle herself. She talked about her own story: "This time the quarrel between Lao Ji and I was not Lao Ji's fault, but mine." After a pause, she sighed again, "I have never wanted to have another child, but Lao Ji has always wanted a child, so I told Lao Ji that we would consider it after Ji Yang grows up. In fact, I was just talking, I really don't want to have another child."
She didn't want to be an ungrateful person again. "Three years ago, I found that my period was late, so I went to the hospital for a check-up, and found out that I was pregnant. So, I took the opportunity when Old Ji was out on a mission to have the baby aborted. It's been three years since this happened, and I don't know how Old Ji found out about this now. He blamed me for not discussing this with him, so we had a quarrel... So this is indeed my fault, but I really don't want to have a baby." The person who had been silent all this time actually talked about this with Lin Qingqing. She found that she had someone to talk to, and she felt unexpectedly relieved.
Lin Qingqing didn't know what to say, but: "I think that no matter what problems there are between husband and wife, it is better to make them clear. Avoiding and delaying time will not solve the problem..." After thinking for a while, Lin Qingqing said, "At the beginning, when I didn't want children, I was honest with Lu Cheng, and Lu Cheng also understood me. So I think you really love Ji Yang, and Captain Ji will definitely understand you. You can tell Captain Ji your thoughts truthfully."
Xu Huijuan shook her head: "This... If I tell him that I don't want to have children, will Old Ji understand? Men all want many children and grandchildren. If I don't want children, Old Ji... He should divorce me and marry someone else who is willing to have children for him."
"......This......" Lin Qingqing did not dare to agree with Xu Huijuan's words, but she could not change her thoughts. "But I think that for some things, if you have not tried, you will never know the result. But if after trying, the result is still the same, at least you have tried your best and will not regret it. Don't you think so? Of course, this is your own business, Ji Yang's mother. What others say is just what others say. Things that happen to you still need to be solved by yourself."
Xu Huijuan is not a person who doesn't listen. Now she heard Lin Qingqing say this, her mind was in a panic.
"Mom..." Ji Yang ran out of the house and hugged Xu Huijuan, "Mom, if Dad wants to divorce you, Mom and I will go together."
"Ji Yang?" Xu Huijuan looked at him, very moved. She could give up her husband and Old Ji, but she wanted Ji Yang, her son. If she got pregnant again and had an abortion, Old Ji would definitely divorce her if he knew about it. She knew Old Ji's character very well. By then, Old Ji would marry another woman, and what would Ji Yang do if he had a stepmother and was bullied?
If she told Old Ji, there would be two possible outcomes. One was that Old Ji wanted a child, and the other was that Old Ji could not have another child. But at least, there was a 50% chance if she told him. After thinking about the situation clearly, Xu Huijuan decided to give it a try. "Comrade Lin, I'm willing to give it a try."
Lin smiled lightly.
The two chatted for a while, and Xu Huijuan's mood had calmed down a lot. Lin Qingqing also had to go to work, so Xu Huijuan asked Ji Yang to stay here and play with Lu Haici, and she carried her luggage and went back to Ji's house next door, because she also needed to be alone.
Ji Changfeng had a quarrel with his wife, and he regretted it. When he saw his wife leaving with her luggage, he wanted to stop her, but he couldn't swallow it when he thought about the fact that she had secretly had an abortion without telling him. Fortunately , he was relieved to see that his wife was persuaded by Comrade Lin next door.
However, it was one thing for him to be reluctant to let his wife go, and it was another thing for his wife to secretly have an abortion without telling him.
Ji Changfeng was quiet for a long time, and his excited emotions gradually calmed down. The family had been arguing about this matter for several days, and it couldn't go on like this. Ji Changfeng felt that he should have a good talk with Xu Huijuan.
At this time, Xu Huijuan came back with her luggage. When she saw Ji Changfeng sitting in the living room, she was no longer as excited as before. She said, "Old Ji, let's talk about it."
Ji Changfeng wanted to talk about it, but he didn't expect Xu Huijuan to say this first. "Well, let's talk about it." If the abortion issue is not discussed clearly, Ji Changfeng will feel a thorn in his heart.
The two of them sat at the dining table and the wall. Because of his work habit, Ji Changfeng would stare at the other person when talking to him, while Xu Huijuan lowered her head and did not dare to look at Ji Changfeng directly. Although it was Xu Huijuan who first mentioned the talk, when it really came to the time of the talk, Xu Huijuan still became nervous.
Ji Changfeng: "Tell me, why did you have an abortion and didn't tell me? You said you could have a baby when Ji Yang grew up, but now Ji Yang has grown up, but you still avoid talking about having a baby. I'm not a fool and I can't even hear your perfunctory words. I think you don't want to have a baby for me, right? You can tell me honestly, I don't want my partner to hide anything in life from me, we are husband and wife, shouldn't we be honest with each other?"
Ji Changfeng's intuition is also sharp, he just feels that Xu Huijuan doesn't want to have a baby for him. But Xu Huijuan is obviously very good to him and Ji Yang. So Ji Changfeng doesn't understand. Or does Xu Huijuan have another man in her heart, so she doesn't want to have a baby for him? Apart from this, Ji Changfeng really can't think of anything else.
Xu Huijuan thought of Ji Yang. She raised her head suddenly and looked at Ji Changfeng with a determined and resolute face: "Yes, I don't want to have a child. I just think that Ji Yang is enough for us. I treat Ji Yang as my own child. To me, I already have a son, so I don't want to have a child."
"If you don't want to have a baby, you can tell me directly. Why don't you tell me, but secretly have an abortion?" Ji Changfeng stared at him, "Or is there something wrong with this baby?"
"I..." Xu Huijuan gritted her teeth, because this is an ungrateful person.
"Answer me." Ji Changfeng's tone became calmer and calmer, but at the same time, the look in his eyes when he looked at her became colder and colder.
"I..." Xu Huijuan was so cruel that she said directly, "Because I just don't want to have a baby, because I had a dream that I would give birth to an ungrateful person." Looking at Ji Changfeng, she knew that she would not be able to get through today if she didn't make things clear.
"You had an abortion because you had a dream that you gave birth to an ungrateful person?" Ji Changfeng couldn't imagine Xu Huijuan's logic. She must be mentally ill, right? Who would abort a child because of a dream that they had to have every day? However, he looked at Xu Huijuan's eyes and found that her eyes were different from before. When she said that she didn't want a child before, and said that she would return the child to Ji Yang when he grew up, her eyes were a little dim. But now, her eyes are very serious. She didn't lie, she was serious.
However, Ji Changfeng still couldn't understand.
Xu Huijuan also thought of the things in her previous life. In addition to not wanting to give birth to an ungrateful person, she also wanted to avoid Ji Changfeng's deadlock. When she was 40 years old, Ji Changfeng would die in a mission, so she couldn't let Ji Changfeng go on the mission that year. She didn't want Ji Yang to be without a father.
Thinking of this, Xu Huijuan simply told a half-truth about her past life. Anyway, the dream had already begun: "I... I also dreamed that when I was 40 years old, you would go on a mission, and then... and then die." When she said this, she showed a painful expression. Xu Huijuan lived a good life with Ji Changfeng in her past life, and Ji Changfeng was also very good to her. So Ji Changfeng's death was really painful for her.
Ji Changfeng had never seen her like this before. She covered her face with her hands and cried silently. From her expression, she thought of the things in the dream, and she was still immersed in the dream. "It's just a dream." Ji Changfeng's tone softened. Although his tone softened, he did not guarantee that nothing would happen to him. Because no one could be sure that they would return safely from every mission.
"This is not... I don't know if this is a dream or not." Xu Huijuan thought about it carefully again, and then said something else, "I also dreamed..." She said what would happen in 1967.
Logistics Department
Lin Qingqing was talking to Hong Jun about the military food company. Almost everyone in the military knew that Lin Qingqing had a halogen agreement with the supply and marketing cooperative. After all, Yu Xiuyao and her team transported a lot of halogens every day, and it was impossible to hide it from others.
Hong Jun said, "The recipe for the halogen is yours. You can use the recipe to make halogens. The troops cannot take advantage of you. How about this, I will discuss with Political Commissar Qu, and the troops will buy the recipe."
"No, no." Lin said lightly, "I don't plan to charge for this recipe, I plan to donate it." She made money by agreement with the supply and marketing cooperative, and she had no guilt. But this recipe was not originally hers, she just searched it on the Internet, and after many tests, she modified some parts. But no matter what, this was not her original creation, so she dared not use it to make money from the troops.
"That won't work, we can't take advantage of the people." Hong Jun insisted.
"Director Hong..." Lin Qingqing explained, "This is not taking advantage of the people. Soldiers protect their country and the people cannot repay them, so I am willing to offer the recipe." It's not that she is great, but this is not her recipe. It's one thing for her to make a little money, but how can she have the nerve to make this money?
Hong Jun saw that Lin Qingqing was sincere and her eyes were full of sincerity, but she still wouldn't agree to this kind of thing. "I will discuss this with Political Commissar Qu."
Seeing Hong Jun like this, Lin Qingqing had no choice but to agree.
A week later, the army food company was established. After the farm incident, the army was able to save at least more than 100,000 yuan in finances every year because of the farm, so of course they would not object to the plan to establish a food company this time.
However, Political Commissar Qu was unwilling to take advantage of Lin Qingqing's prescription, and Lin Qingqing did not want to use this prescription to make money from the army, so after the two sides discussed, Lin Qingqing asked the army for a job.
In fact, prescriptions in this era were not expensive. A job could earn two or three hundred a year, and two or three thousand in ten years, which was more cost-effective than a prescription.
And this job, Lin Qingqing asked for it for Lin's father, and the job location was also in his hometown. After the job was delivered, Lin's father smiled so hard that he couldn't stop.
The Lin family was originally very harmonious. After Lin Qingqing joined the logistics department, the first wife had a stable job, the second wife also had a stable job, and the third wife had no stable job, and the third wife was not happy.
But Lin Qingqing didn't know all this. According to Lin Qingqing's idea, if there is a job opportunity, it should be given to the right person. Lin Yiyang's job is an opportunity, which just happens to suit him. Lin's father's job is also an opportunity, which is a job at the Post Office. When Political Commissar Qu asked Lin Qingqing what kind of position she wanted, Lin Qingqing considered the town of her hometown, so that it would be convenient to go to and from work. The reason why she did not consider the county town was that she thought that the ten-year period of prosperity would come soon, and the town would be much more secure than the county town.
As for why this job fell on Lin's father, because the eldest wife had a job, it was naturally the second wife's turn. Lin Xiaodi was still young, so this job naturally went to Lin's father.
Lin Qingqing explained what to do after the job, and she didn't know that the third wife of the Lin family would have any thoughts, but it was normal for them to have thoughts, and she couldn't let Lin's father give up the job just because the third wife of the Lin family had thoughts. Besides, Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin are still at home.
Lin Qingqing is now worried about Lu Cheng. It is already June 22nd. Two days have passed since June 20th three years ago, and Lu Cheng has not come back yet. Lin Qingqing is worried that Lu Cheng might get into trouble because he missed this day. She has been a little absent-minded these days.
