Chapter 415 How can a child take the mother’s surname?
Chen Moli was very happy to receive the roast duck and Beijing eight pieces of food. After discussing with Zhou Jiafu, she sent 20 yuan and two pairs of cotton shoes to Zhou's father and mother.
Zhou Gui also sent some money and clothes to Zhou's father and mother.
Zhou's father became the talk of the town in Zhoujiawan because he had met a high-ranking leader and his grandson had participated in the military parade, as evidenced by photos.
Now his daughter-in-law and daughter have sent him several packages and remittance slips, and his father-in-law and mother-in-law of the same age have eyes that drop to the ground in envy.
In private, people praise Zhou's father and mother for their good fortune, their successful children, and their filial daughter-in-law.
Zhou Rong kept some of the cakes he brought back from Kyoto to share with his colleagues at work, and gave the rest to his father and mother.
Please ask them to take them to Zhoujiawan and distribute them to Zhou Chuanguo, Zhou Chuantai, Zhou Chuanan and Zhou Chuanjing.
During the time Nini lived in Zhoujiawan, they took good care of her. She should return the favor appropriately so that the relationship between them can be more long-lasting and harmonious...
Zhou Chuanguo and his friends were grateful that Zhou Rong always cared about them, so they prepared some of their own peanuts, soybeans, sesame seeds, pickled game, etc., and asked the driver who was delivering vegetables into the city to take them to Zhou Rong's home.
When the driver was returning, Luo Qiuyue asked him to bring some food to Luo Dafen and Luo Xiaofen, which made those educated youth who lived far away or in poor conditions envious.
When people are together, they always like to ask about each other's family background, such as what their parents do for a living, how many brothers and sisters they have, where they work, etc.
Whenever someone asked, Luo Dafen would tell them without hesitation that her father had died of illness very early and her mother used to be a manager in a pub, which has now been converted into a canteen, so her mother became the canteen manager.
She also said that when her mother retires, one of her and Xiaofen will go back to take over her mother's job.
Some people didn't take it seriously and were envious, but some people kept it in mind and planned how to pursue one of the two sisters and get the replacement spot...
For every man who approached her, Luo Dafen would portray herself as a new-age woman and tell him that men and women were equal now and that if they got married in the future, the child must take the mother's surname.
This condition scared away all the male educated youth.
Someone turned around and showed goodwill to Luo Xiaofen.
Luo Xiaofen felt that the continuation of the Luo family's bloodline could not be done by her sister alone, and that she also had a responsibility, so she set the same conditions as her sister.
The suitors thought that the Luo sisters were mentally ill. How could a child take the mother’s surname?
They are not going to be sons-in-law, so why should the child take the mother's surname? !
Besides, given the Luo family's conditions, they wouldn't do it even if they wanted to recruit a live-in son-in-law. It would be so embarrassing!
The Luo family's family background is not worth their sacrifice. If it was Comrade Zhou Xue before, maybe they could consider it...
Luo Dafen was not at all panicked by everyone's retreat. She was originally waiting for someone who was willing to take the bait so that the plan could be perfect.
Otherwise, troubles will continue, and she and her family will never have a peaceful life in the future...
During the Spring Festival of 71, Zhou Qing'an and Nini came back from Kyoto together to spend the New Year with Zhou Rong.
Zhou Qingping's unit was not busy, so he also took a half-month leave.
Zhou Cai has not been back to work for three years to take care of her twins. Now that her children are older and there is no unrest in the city, she decided to return to work after the new year.
With the face of her husband and father-in-law, the unit directly approved her application for the job without any difficulty.
Zhou Cai and Tian Huizhen moved back to the city with their four children at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month...
Shen Bojin had a home visit leave this year and wrote back early, saying that he would bring his wife and children back to Jiangcheng during the Chinese New Year.
Shen Boxuan had been abroad before, so she was brought up in 67. Her leader was also targeted at the time and was unable to help her escape.
During 67-68, Shen Boxuan and her husband Ye Fanqiu were assigned to the frontline to do hard labor.
In 69, the Third Front construction was once again taken seriously by the organization, and the second construction climax was set off. Shen Boxuan and Ye Fanqiu were re-employed and resumed their status as engineers.
Having not seen his parents and relatives for several years, Shen Boxuan took a month-long vacation at the end of the year. He went back to Kyoto with Ye Fanqiu to see his children, and then took the children back to Jiangcheng to visit Shen Chunheng and Qin Yanhua.
The family was finally reunited. Shen Chunheng and Qin Yanhua were very happy. They also brought Shen Qingran and his two siblings back to Jiangcheng at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month.
If the situation in the city really stabilizes, after the beginning of the year, Shen Chunheng and Qin Yanhua want to keep their three children in the city to go to school so that they can have a good educational environment.
Zhoujiawan is good in every way except that it is inconvenient for studying. Shen Qingran will go to high school in September. Her household registration is still in the provincial capital, so she needs to go back to study, otherwise the county high school will not accept her.
Shen Chunheng and Qin Yanhua also wanted to find an opportunity to establish some connections and help Shen Qingran find a future so that she wouldn't have to go to the countryside...
After everyone left, Zhou's father and mother felt lonely at home, so they accepted Zhou Jiaguang's invitation and went to the city to celebrate the New Year.
But Zhou's father and mother did not move into Zhou Jiaguang's house. They felt uncomfortable there. The house at the meat processing factory was also deserted and needed to be cleaned up, so they went directly to Zhou Rong's house.
Compared with their other children, Zhou's father and mother felt that living in Zhou Rong's home was the least stressful and most comfortable.
The children all had their own families to take care of, so Zhou's parents notified Zhou Jiahua, Zhou Jiafu, Zhou Gui, Zhou Cai and others in advance and asked them to come to Zhou Rong's house for a reunion dinner on the evening of January 1 (the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month).
Zhou Jiaguang was worried that his elder sister and parents would be too busy, so he took a day off on the 25th and brought Xiao Jingjing to Zhou Rong's house early in the morning to help prepare meals.
After noon, Xie Cuilian and Chen Moli also brought their children to help.
Zhou Rong and his father and mother thought that today would be a busy day, so they were not allowed to intervene.
This is a rare reunion year for the Zhou family.
While the light outside was good, Zhou Rong gathered everyone in the yard to take a family photo.
Zhou Rong taught Luo Dafen how to use a camera and asked her to help as a photographer.
The children were squatting, Zhou's father and mother were sitting, and the others were standing on their left, right, front and back. The scene of such a prosperous and happy family made passers-by envious.
After taking the family portrait, we took photos in groups. Each family took a few photos. The children also took photos in groups of three or two, making all kinds of funny actions, leaving beautiful memories of youth...
It is now popular to ask for instructions in the morning and report in the evening. After getting up in the morning, you need to bow to the portrait of the leader, recite a paragraph of instructions, wish the leader a long life, and then wash up. This is repeated before going to bed at night, reporting in the morning and evening.
Not wanting to be corrected, before the meal, Zhou Rong led everyone to bow to the leader's portrait, recite instructions, and say blessings. He then asked everyone if anyone wanted to point out others' inappropriate words and deeds.
No one wanted to bring bad luck on such a good day, and even less wanted to stir up "internal family conflicts", so everyone shook their heads.
Zhou Rong smiled with satisfaction and announced that the meal was ready.
Because the children are older, there is not enough space at two tables for the New Year’s Eve dinner, so everyone eats standing up and can go to whichever table they want to get food.
Three generations of grandparents and grandchildren are together, full of family affection and endless joy...
