EBE Chapter 406 Sister, how could you have such a bold idea?
Chapter 406 Sister, how could you have such a bold idea?
On the first day of the New Year, when Luo Dafen and Luo Xiaofen asked Nini to go out to play, they learned that she was going back to the city and were happy for her.
Luo Dafen asked carefully: "Can we still live in your house?"
Nini: "Of course, my mom said that a house is lively only when someone lives in it. If it is always empty, it will look eerie.
I discussed this with my mother yesterday, and she said that you can live in the house in Zhoujiawan and just help with the cleaning.”
Luo Dafen: "Thank you! We will definitely take good care of the house!"
During dinner, Luo Xiaofen told Luo Qiuyue in an envious tone that Nini was about to return to the city.
Luo Qiuyue pondered for a while and said, "I am not as capable as your Aunt Rong, so I can't get a job. If you want to return to the city, you can only take my job.
But I only have one job, and you two have to discuss who will take over, and the other one has to stay in the country."
Luo Dafen looked at Luo Xiaofen and asked, "What do you think?"
Luo Xiaofen: "No matter who of us takes over Mom's job, there will always be two people without a job in the family, which means that our total family income will remain unchanged. I think this kind of replacement is meaningless.
My mother is still young. If she loses her job, she will be very bored and won’t get the pension she deserves. It’s not worth it.
Why don't my sister and I continue to stay in Zhoujiawan, and when the policy allows, we can go back to the city and look for jobs openly, or when Mom reaches retirement age, we can draw lots to decide who will take over."
Luo Dafen: "Your idea is the same as mine."
Many families in Chang'an were quarreling over job quotas, with brothers and sisters scheming against each other and even fighting each other.
Luo Qiuyue was very pleased that her two daughters could consider family affection before interests, and said happily: "You are both good daughters of your mother, and I am proud of you."
Luo Dafen thought for a moment and asked quietly, "Mom, can I just have a baby without getting married?"
Luo Qiuyue was stunned and asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"
Luo Dafen: "The organization asked everyone to break all old customs, but some things are deeply rooted. Even if people don't say it, they are very concerned about it in their hearts, such as letting a man become a son-in-law and letting a woman's child take the mother's surname.
Any normal person cannot accept this. Even if they agree, they are just like my father, saying one thing and thinking another, and are greedy for our family's money.
You have been looking for a suitable candidate for me for so many years, but I still can't find one. I am already 22 years old. I don't believe that a man who is willing and has no ulterior motives will suddenly appear and spend the rest of his life with me.
Since we can't find the man that suits our heart, then we can just go straight to our goal, not get married, not talk about marrying into the wife's family, not wanting a man to be responsible, just have a child, and then I can decide what surname the child should take."
Luo Qiuyue and Luo Xiaofen were so shocked by Luo Dafen's words that they couldn't recover for a long time.
Luo Xiaofen: "Sister, how can you have such a bold idea?!"
Luo Dafen smiled and said, "Last time, Nini told us that we should be honest and face our own needs. I think it makes sense, so I decided to give it a try."
Luo Qiuyue: "If you have a child without getting married, do you know what you will face? Everyone's spit will drown you!"
Luo Dafen: "I will take care of the details and let everyone think we are dating, and then we can get together naturally. We won't tell outsiders that we don't have a marriage certificate.
When the child is a few years old, I will bring him back to the city. If someone asks about the child's father, I will say that he died in an accident. If the neighborhood committee comes to investigate the family situation, I can just make up a name.
Our family is not an official, nor do we have money, so we won’t be watched closely by others, and it’s easy to fool people.”
Luo Qiuyue: "I always feel that this is unreliable."
Luo Dafen: "What I'm talking about now is my rough plan. When executing it, I will make adjustments based on the actual situation so that things won't get too bad."
Seeing her sister's determined expression, Luo Xiaofen thought that she had made up her mind, so she said, "Mom, I will help my sister complete the task, you don't have to worry.
There are few good men nowadays, and even if there are good ones, it is not our turn. It is better for us to take what we need and achieve our own goals.
If my sister really has a child, I will help take care of it. It is easy for the three of us to raise a child."
Luo Qiuyue sighed and said helplessly: "You have grown up and have good ideas. I can't argue with you. Let's do this for now. If there is anything, send me a telegram in time and we will solve it together. Don't force yourself to deal with it."
Luo Dafen: "Okay."
On the third day of junior high school, Luo Dafen, Luo Xiaofen and Nini returned to Zhoujiawan together.
The two sisters brought some gifts to Zhou's father and mother, Zhou Chuanjing and Zhou Chuanyi to thank them for their care over the past year.
Zhou Rong had already helped Nini to get the documents for returning to the city. She just had to get the stamps from the squad, brigade and commune.
Zhou Chuanyi personally accompanied her to the commune and completed all the formalities in just one day.
When the educated youth returned to Zhoujiawan one after another, they learned that Nini had returned to the city to work, and was working at the Industrial and Commercial Bureau in the provincial capital. None of them was not envious.
Several male educated youth joked privately that if they had been able to pursue Nini at the beginning, they might be able to return to the city now.
After hearing this, Diao Sishun rolled his eyes and thought, what good would it be if I catch her? Wouldn’t I still be the first target of sacrifice?
There are several female educated youths at the educated youth site who have good family backgrounds. Diao Sishun decides to cast a wide net, catch as many fish as possible, and select the best ones. There will always be one who can help him rise to prominence...
On the 18th day of the first lunar month, Zhou's mother went to the city to take care of Xiao Jingjing who was about to give birth.
Zhou's father originally wanted to follow him into the city, but Zhou's mother said that both of his in-laws were living at home, and it would be inappropriate to leave someone behind.
Unsure whether there will be more unrest in the city, Shen Chunheng and his wife, Tian Huizhen, Zhou Cai, and their children are still living in Zhoujiawan.
Zhou's father felt it was inappropriate to leave his in-laws and grandson in the village without a master in the house, so he had to agree to let Zhou's mother go to the city alone.
Taking care of a child is a very hard job, especially taking care of a baby who can't walk. You have to hold and coax the baby all day long, which can be exhausting.
Father Zhou felt sorry for Mother Zhou and told her to come back after Xiao Jingjing's baby was born and to take care of her after the confinement period, and not to stay in the city for long.
If Xiao Jingjing is too busy to handle the job alone, she can just hire someone to help look after the child. This way, everyone can save themselves the worry and fatigue.
Everyone loves his wife, and Zhou's father doesn't want his wife to get sick from overwork.
Mr. Zhou regrets it now because he had too many sons. His wife has been worrying about each of his sons getting married and having children.
Every time a grandson or granddaughter is born, his wife has to suffer.
If he had only had daughters, why would there be so many problems? !
