The head teacher already knew Qian Pan's family situation. Although he was a little worried, he still agreed.
Qian Pan is in the first grade of junior high school. She cherishes this learning opportunity very much. Although she starts school two months later than others, she listens carefully in class and spends her time reading books except doing housework at home. In just one month, Qian Pan's grades catch up with those of the students.
With Qian Pan as a role model, Qian Xiang and Qian Meng also worked extra hard.
When Lao Qian's wife and Qian Qi came home from get off work every day, dinner was already prepared and the three girls were either washing clothes or doing homework.
The problems that Lao Qian's wife was worried about did not happen at all.
There is someone to do the housework, and Qian Jiabao is also well taken care of.
As Lao Qian's wife and Qian Qi received their salaries, they specially bought a pound of meat to eat. The whole family was smiling and felt that they had hope for the future.
Although the family has lost its breadwinner, there are two working parents and the children can all go to school, so the family is on the right track.
After Gu Guizhi and several of his comrades came over to take a look, they felt much more at ease.
When the pillar of the family, like the Qian family, passes away, it's considered lucky if the wife and children can still support the family. But in some families, once the man passes away, the wife remarries, and in the end it is the children who suffer.
Such situations are not uncommon.
Gu Guizhi had sponsored the children of his comrades before. After discussing with Qi Mengmeng, he sponsored two more children, all of whom had their fathers sacrificed in this defense battle and whose mothers remarried.
Qi Mengmeng asked Gu Guizhi for his opinion and finally sent 5 yuan to each family.
On the way back, Gu Guizhi suddenly said to Qi Mengmeng: "Mengmeng, I'm thinking of going to the hospital for a vasectomy in a few days."
What?
Vasectomy?
Qi Mengmeng didn't react for a moment.
Gu Guizhi quickly explained: "It's a small operation, very simple, it won't have any effect on the body, that is, we won't have children anymore in the future."
"We now have three sons and one daughter. You have to work and run the cake business. I'm worried that you're too tired."
Qi Mengmeng certainly knew what a sterilization operation was, she just didn't expect Gu Guizhi to bring it up.
"Why did you want to have a vasectomy?"
Qi Mengmeng is really weird.
Gu Guizhi's eyes looked into the distance, but there was no focus.
"We don't know when we'll be able to return to this job. The more children you have at home, the more tired you'll be."
Gu Guizhi said in a low voice: "I couldn't be with you the last two times you got pregnant. If you get pregnant again, I can't guarantee that I will be able to be at home."
To put it bluntly, Gu Guizhi gave his life to the country. He does not regret it, but he feels sorry for Qi Mengmeng. He is worried that something will happen to him in the future, and it is too hard for Qi Mengmeng to take care of the child alone.
Qi Mengmeng also felt that four children were enough, but she didn't expect Gu Guizhi to take the initiative to bring up the issue of sterilization.
After Gu Guizhi finished speaking, he waited for Qi Mengmeng's reply.
Qi Mengmeng said without any hesitation: "Okay, but this will make you work harder."
Gu Guizhi didn't feel any hardship at all. He had asked the doctor about it when he had a follow-up checkup two days ago. The doctor said that it would only cause slight discomfort and it would not have any effect on his body.
"Don't tell mom about this yet." Gu Guizhi reminded Qi Mengmeng, "If mom finds out, just tell her the truth. It was my idea."
There are already four children in the family. Qi Mengmeng feels that Qi Huilan may not be as excited about taking care of the children as she was at the beginning.
However, it is better not to tell the elderly about this kind of thing first, so that they don’t misunderstanding.
Gu Guizhi didn't expect Qi Mengmeng to accept this matter so quickly. He had to do ideological work for a long time before convincing himself.
Qi Mengmeng thought that even if Gu Guizhi didn't get sterilized now, after the family planning policy came out, the two of them would have to take other contraceptive measures.
The couple discussed the matter, and Qi Mengmeng accompanied Gu Guizhi to the hospital.
The doctor had an impression of Gu Guizhi, as Gu Guizhi had come to ask about the vasectomy a few days ago.
"Are you sure you want to have a vasectomy? How many children do you have?"
While the nurse was making preparations for the operation, the doctor chatted casually with Gu Guizhi.
“There are four children in the family.”
The doctor then breathed a sigh of relief and said that people who come for sterilization surgery must have several children in their family, but he didn't know how many boys he had.
Thinking of this, the doctor asked.
Gu Guizhi was already a little nervous, and his face darkened when he heard the doctor ask this.
"Does sterilization surgery only work if there is a boy in the family?"
"No, I'm just asking."
The doctor didn't dare ask any more questions and asked the nurse to take Gu Guizhi to the operating room.
Qi Mengmeng sat outside the operating room, thinking about things at home.
After an unknown amount of time, the lights in the operating room went out and Gu Guizhi was pushed out.
The nurse handed Qi Mengmeng a piece of paper and said, "Here are the precautions. You can rest for a while and then leave."
Qi Mengmeng supported Gu Guizhi. She thought she would have to rest for at least half a day, but she didn't expect to be able to go home so soon.
Gu Guizhi sat down on the chair and didn't speak for a while.
Although the operation was not major and the pain was not severe, the doctor's gossip during the operation made him feel very embarrassed. When he came out and saw Qi Mengmeng again, he felt a little ashamed.
Qi Mengmeng misunderstood Gu Guizhi's condition. Seeing that Gu Guizhi was hunched over and not talking, she thought he was feeling uncomfortable and wanted to find a doctor.
Gu Guizhi promptly grabbed Qi Mengmeng and said that he was fine and just needed to rest for a while.
The two rested in the hospital for a while, and Qi Mengmeng found a tricycle at the hospital gate and took the two back home.
In order to prevent Qi Huilan from noticing, Gu Guizhi insisted on walking into the house by himself.
But Qi Huilan could tell at a glance that Gu Guizhi's walking posture was wrong, so she pulled Qi Mengmeng outside.
"Guizhi, what happened? Did your leg not recover?"
Qi Mengmeng held back her laughter and said it was okay. The doctor said he was recovering well.
Qi Huilan wanted to ask more, but Qi Mengmeng pushed her away: "Mom, Guizhi is really fine, but I want to eat noodles today, can we have noodles with gravy?"
"Noodles with gravy? What kind of gravy do you want? How about egg sauce?" Qi Huilan's attention was diverted and she turned to go to the kitchen.
Qi Mengmeng went into the room again and saw Gu Guizhi lying on the bed playing with the two children.
"Can we have noodles with gravy tonight?"
"Okay." Gu Guizhi had no requirements for eating.
In the next few days, Gu Guizhi hardly went out.
Qi Huilan thought that Gu Guizhi's previous injury had not yet healed completely, so she bought a lot of meat for Gu Guizhi to replenish his body.
Liu Dajiang noticed something was amiss, so he asked indirectly, but Gu Guizhi remained completely silent, so he did not ask again.
