"How could I have any opinions? The chairman has said that men and women are the same and women can hold up half the sky."

"Besides, it's not something a woman can decide about whether a man or a woman is a woman."

He still knows this bit of common sense.

"Well, it's good for you to know."

Lao Qi nodded with satisfaction.

He is considered a highly intelligent person, and his wife works in a hospital, so she understands that gender is determined by male sperm.

Sure enough, he was right about the person, Xingyu is a good kid!

We arrived home safely and the car arrived directly at the gate of Qi's courtyard.

After Qi Sisi got off the car, she saw the familiar environment and was still a little dazed.

The flowers and plants in the yard looked rather bleak; after all, it was a cold day, and they were all wilted from the cold.

There were sheets drying in the yard, and a pile of vegetables placed next to the water pump.

"Your mother knew that you would be back home, so she made arrangements long ago. The bed sheets were dried in the afternoon, so you will sleep comfortably at night!" Old Zhao kept on rambling, a rare moment of chattering.

"Where's your mother?"

Qi Sisi looked around and suddenly missed her mother very much. She especially wanted to rush into her arms.

"I guess she's busy in the kitchen."

Old Zhao said with a smile.

Qi Sisi ignored Zhao Xingyu's support and rushed in quickly. Sure enough, she saw the familiar figure in front of the stove.

"mother!"

Qi Sisi shouted deeply.

Qi's mother turned around instantly.

When he saw it was his own daughter, he immediately smiled.

"Are you back?"

"Wait a little longer, the fish will be ready and we can eat."

Qi Sisi said "hmm" and hugged her from behind.

"What's going on?"

Mother Qi paused for a moment, and continued with her previous actions, asking casually, "You are covered in oil smoke, don't get yourself stained with it."

Qi Sisi would not mind these things, and said in a sticky voice: "What's the big deal? I'm also dirty when I come back from outside."

This righteous tone amused Qi's mother.

For a moment, I couldn't tell whether it was dirtier because I was busy in the kitchen or dirtier because the maid came back from outside...

"Okay, okay!"

It was rare for a girl to be so clingy, and Qi's mother was happy to let her hold her like this until the fish was ready.

We had a pleasant dinner.

They say a short absence makes the heart grow fonder.

The same is true between parents and children.

When we are apart, we always miss each other. If we really meet again, we will naturally be overjoyed.

In the evening, the family sat on the sofa in the living room, watching the news on TV.

Qi's mother's thoughts were all on her daughter.

From time to time, he asked her how she felt, and how things were going in the capital...

It was difficult for Lao Qi to score.

Qi Sisi explained to them once again that she was doing well there and had not suffered any injustice. Xingyu also took her out for a walk several times and even went to the hospital for a check-up.

"Mom, Dad insisted that you come back for another checkup. Don't you think it's okay?"

"We were sleeping on the couchette and we didn't get too tired on the way. It was really nothing."

After she became pregnant, she was treated like a giant panda, which was really a bit hard to get used to.

Mother Qi hesitated, but out of prudence she had to check it out.

The journey is long, who knows if the girl will ignore the signals from her body?

"If you don't feel uncomfortable, then we won't go. If there is any problem, you must tell me immediately, understand?"

Qi Sisi nodded repeatedly.

It would be best if you don't have to do any tests.

She doesn't like the smell of disinfectant in the hospital.

"It looks like no one lives there. Although I go to check on you from time to time, you still have to clean up before you can move in tomorrow."

"Stay at home for the next two days."

Mother Qi said as she glanced at Zhao Xingyu.

The girl is pregnant, so of course she can't overwork.

She and Lao Qi have to go to work, and this job can only be done by the son-in-law.

Zhao Xingyu was very perceptive and immediately agreed: "I'll go over and clean it up tomorrow!"

Then she told the two elders, "Stay at home for now. Sisi has been missing you a lot these days!"

When Lao Qi and his wife heard this, they were naturally delighted.

It is indeed better to raise a daughter-in-law!

Qi Sisi sat between her parents, holding one of their arms, and they were very affectionate and the atmosphere was very good.

Zhao Xingyu sat next to his father-in-law and watched, and couldn't help but smile.

He still prefers the atmosphere of Qi's family.

Everyone said what they wanted to say, without any eye contact, and everyone expressed their feelings directly.

Like a ball of warmth, it warms everyone.

......

The next day.

At home, Qi Sisi acts as a baby who is spoiled by her parents.

She didn't care about food and drink, Qi's mother arranged everything. If she needed to buy something, she just had to say hello to Xiao Hu and he would bring it back.

I was so free that I went to the Women's Federation to chat with everyone.

Inevitably, I was asked about the capital.

Qi Sisi did not mention Lao Zhao and her stepmother-in-law this time, but briefly mentioned the shock she felt at the grandeur of the Forbidden City and the Wangfujing Department Store.

It caused everyone to be amazed.

I feel that I must go to the capital city if I have the chance in the future.

Qi Sisi remembered that she and her group had taken some photos, so she smiled and said she would bring them to show them next time.

Naturally, everyone was very supportive and asked her to remember it.

They did the check-up together at the beginning, and the hospital found out that she was pregnant. There were two other people in the same situation as her.

One of them was a female cadre of the Women's Federation.

"Thanks to this check-up, otherwise I wouldn't know I was pregnant." Secretary Xu touched his belly, looking relieved.

"Before, I was running around all day, but now I have applied for permission to stay at home and stay in the office to write some documents and organize manuscripts."

Working in the Women’s Federation is not that easy.

If a lesbian reports a situation, we have to visit her at her home and verify it with the neighbors.

Sometimes the people you meet are difficult to talk to and will beat you up if they can, or even curse at you.

So this is a dangerous thing.

Before, Xu had no fear of verbal battles because of his eloquent tongue.

But in fact, I held my breath a lot.

I am not angry because I have been wronged, but because even though our country has built so many institutions, there are still women who are bullied in their families.

She was afraid that if she got angry, something might happen to the baby in her belly.

“So I think regular check-ups are necessary!”

After this incident, Qi Sisi was very sure of this idea.

Think about herself, if she hadn't found out through the test, she wouldn't have thought that she was pregnant.

The work she does is not heavy, it just requires some brain work.

And what about other women?

There were people working in the fields planting rice, working in the fields, cultivating the land and digging for mines everywhere.

It is not uncommon for women to have miscarriages due to overexertion without knowing they are pregnant.

"It's true that this test costs a lot, and not everyone is willing to spend the money."

Officer Xu looked helpless.

The theory is one thing, but the reality is another.

"Um."

Qi Sisi also felt powerless.

“We still need to make everyone rich.”

Only those with money and power have the right to speak.

"Xiao Qi, what you said is so true. It's so difficult for ordinary people to make some money nowadays." Secretary Xu laughed at her. Xiao Qi was raised too well by Jiao and didn't know the difficulties of ordinary people.

After all, she graduated from high school and had a diploma, so she could work as an official in the Women's Federation and make a living by writing.

What about other women?

Most of them are illiterate and unable to write. They can only do manual labor and exchange their time and energy for money. How can they ever become rich?

Qi Sisi frowned.

She thought it would be a good idea to open a clothing factory, as it would mobilize women.

The key point is that Zhao Xingyu's uncle, whom she had talked to on the phone, has not arrived yet.

I can swallow it for now.
