Chapter 714 A Hot Potato That Can't Be Shaken Off
Now it's so much better, I feel so cheerful all over again.
Looking at them in the distance, Zhou Jing sighed and said, "My mother and my relatives on my mother's side are all urging me to have a second child."
Lin Yuyao was taken aback. "Huh? Isn't it about family planning? Won't this situation affect my brother-in-law's work?"
Zhou Jing shook her head and said, "His job is high-risk, so he is allowed to have a second child."
Ok?
Lin Yuyao had heard Fu Huaiyi mention that in Nancheng, the two-child policy had indeed been relaxed for people in certain special jobs, and she didn't expect that Zhou Jing's family could have one.
"So, will you give birth?"
"I won't have another child," Zhou Jing said. "This daughter is someone I've raised with great difficulty. Now that I've taken her in, I'm going to protect her for the rest of my life."
Thinking of something, she gave a wry smile and said, "My mom and the others all say that having another child is like giving my daughter a family member, a companion. I am a daughter myself, I already have a younger brother, how could I not know what a second child is?"
She paused for a moment, then said, "Of course, I'm not saying my brother is bad. He's a good brother, and my parents are good parents too. But some things aren't what they think. When I was little, I thought my home was my home, but as I grew up, I gradually realized that my home wasn't my home; it was my brother's home. Isn't that strange?"
Lin Yuyao was stunned, suddenly realizing that it was indeed true.
She used to think that the Lin family was her family, but whether in her past life or this life, after she got married, it was no longer her family. It was her maternal family and her brother's family.
She said that going home no longer meant going back to her parents' home.
"What if I have a son? Will she have no home left?"
This……
"Is my husband's family home?" Zhou Jing thought of her mother-in-law and said with a bitter smile, "My husband's family has never been my home, so I am determined not to have a second child. That way, our current home will always be my daughter's home."
The mainstream view now is still that men marry women, so Zhou Jing's thinking is quite advanced.
It was also her mother-in-law who forced her into this situation, making her witness the coldness and warmth of human nature.
With the policy of only allowing one child per family, female fetuses have been the most frequently aborted in recent years.
Her parents treated her very well, and her younger brother was also very nice to her.
However, she and her brother have always been different in their parents' eyes.
For example, her mother helped her take care of the child for three years, and when her brother got married, she had to quickly send the child to her.
He was worried that his new daughter-in-law would have objections.
But now that her mother is helping her brother take care of his child, that's only natural, and it's only right that she takes care of him until he's an adult.
Lin Yuyao knew that this kind of thinking would continue for many years to come, at least most of the grandparents born in the 1940s thought this way, and their children also thought this way.
When those born in the 1960s become grandparents, this kind of thinking will become less and less common.
Because the children of the 1960s generation are the 1980s and 1990s generation, and this generation has many only children.
After chatting with Zhou Jing for a while, Lin Yuyao went to chat with her parents for a bit, then called Fu Huaiyi and took the two children home.
Lin Yuyao breastfed the first baby, and the second baby drank formula, so she asked Fu Huaiyi to make it for him.
"Make a note of this: this feeding is for the first baby, and the next feeding will be for the second baby. Don't get them mixed up."
"Okay, you should write it down too, I'm afraid I'll forget it."
"Pregnancy makes you stupid for three years, and I'm stupid now, I can't remember anything."
Fu Huaiyi: "..."
He smiled helplessly, "Okay, I'll remember."
After feeding his second child, he took out a pen and made a note in the notebook hanging on the wall so he wouldn't forget.
Even after we've eaten, we still have to take pictures.
After a while, I washed their bottoms, changed their diapers, and then put them in their cribs to sleep.
It's already 10 o'clock, but they want to stay up all night to welcome the New Year.
Lin Yuyao took out the blueprints and looked at them again and again.
My cousin gave me the blueprints for the villa today.
The first phase was said to be ready for handover in March, and how they would decorate it would be up to them.
With Lin Yuyao's current financial resources, buying a villa is no problem for her.
However, at that time, there were very few villa projects available, and they were basically not sold to the public. They were all reserved while the villas were still under construction.
Without connections, you simply can't buy them.
The key point is that this location is not far from their troops, nestled against the mountains and by the water, and the environment is really nice.
"What are you looking at?"
"Here are the blueprints for the villa. Do you have any ideas?"
Fu Huaiyi snatched the paper from her hand and tossed it aside. "I'm not interested in this. I'm interested in other things."
This man is really...
Like most parents, they seem to have lost some of their own identity since having a baby.
Even a time for two has become a luxury.
The two little ones were on the small bed next to me, and I was afraid that making any noise would wake them up.
It's so frustrating and unsatisfying, really.
"Let's go outside."
"It's cold outside."
"Go to the study."
The study also has air conditioning.
But there's only a desk in the study!
……
Fu Xingye and his wife left after the Lunar New Year, but the old man and Fu Wen stayed.
The old man said he didn't want to go through all that trouble and would wait until his two grandsons were over 100 days old before leaving.
They were going to hold a full moon celebration in the south of the city, but it hasn't even been a month yet.
He usually lives at his uncle's house, meets up with old friends for tea every day, and occasionally visits Fu Huaiyi and the others.
After the New Year, Yi Yunshuo returned and came to say goodbye.
"Old Xu said it would be two years, but I don't know if I can come back earlier." He gave a wry smile and said, "I never thought I'd be able to go back to school after all these years since I graduated. I wonder how hard it is to get a foreign degree. It would be so embarrassing if I didn't get one. Sigh! I'm starting to regret it!"
Fu Huaiyi: "You're really useless. It would be shameful if you didn't get your diploma."
Yi Yunshuo: "..."
"I've come seeking comfort; can't you say a few auspicious words?"
"May Master Yi be blessed."
"I... fine!" He shouldn't have expected anything good to come out of a dog's mouth.
"I heard that Lao Xu originally wanted Lu Jiangting to go, and Lu Jiangting was very willing to go. However, the custody of Wang Chenchen was not settled, and Lao Xu was worried that something might happen, so he revoked his eligibility. Have you heard about that?"
"heard."
"Tsk tsk, does this mean I got a bargain?"
"That is it."
Yi Yunshuo thought to himself with a smug smile, "It seems I'm still pretty lucky."
Fu Huaiyi is a new father and still smells like a baby, so it's not appropriate for him to go.
Lu Jiangting became a stepfather, and his fatherly demeanor was inappropriate.
That's how it ended up in his hands.
"Hey, by the way, is Lu Jiangting's matter settled yet?"
"What is it?"
"It's about Wang Chenchen's custody."
"Ha, it's impossible to fix it."
Is changing custody really that easy?
Reaching an agreement is easy; failing to do so is not so simple.
Children are not like cats or dogs; you can't just raise them if you want and abandon them if you don't.
Lu Jiangting negotiated with Jiang Mei about Wang Chenchen's custody, but the negotiations were unsuccessful after several attempts.
Jiang Mei simply packed up Wang Chenchen's things and dumped them at Lu Jiangting's doorstep, saying it was up to him whether he wanted to take care of her or not.
