Chapter 412 No need
"No, I have more important things to do. Anyone can give birth to a child. Parents are proud of their excellent children. Shouldn't the children be proud of their excellent parents?" Shen Roujun was very clear-headed.
"It's normal for parents to be busy with work and have no time to spend with their children. You have to be yourself first, then my son, my wife's husband, and my child's father. Everyone has things they like and want to do."
Jiang Han already knew the outcome, but he still asked, "Your daughter-in-law wants a second child. Since she started working, she's had many female colleagues with four or five children. One of them even gave birth to 10 and raised eight of them, six boys and two girls. The environment has forced her to want a second child, too."
"Didn't they say that your second brother doesn't allow us to have children?" Shen Roujun had heard this so many times that she was naturally curious.
"My second brother and his wife are determined not to have children. Besides, they basically have the final say in their daily lives. Your daughter-in-law thinks that since there are people to help take care of the baby, it won't be too tiring. For the first six months after the birth, the old aunt from the village took care of the baby. After that, she mostly took care of the baby at night. She didn't even wash many diaper pads. That's how it is with so many people in the family."
As Jiang Han spoke, he suddenly felt that his wife was just free. She wasn't very busy at work, and there were too many people helping out at home.
However, the two of them didn't even use any contraceptive measures, and they still haven't gotten pregnant in more than a year. It's estimated that Jiang Xiu's health has not recovered yet.
Discussing this with his parents was still a bit awkward, so Jiang Han turned to ask about their lives. "Mom, the supplies are not very sufficient. Is there any external contact point? I will send you food and dried vegetables in the future."
For the first time, Jin Ping took the initiative to speak to Jiang Han. "There's a shortage all over the country. How much can you spare? You have so many children at home who are still growing. Besides, it's really inconvenient to transport it all at once. We can't take the train, and there are so few transport vehicles. We can only send it to the troops here in the name of family members, and we need a normal amount."
"I know. We will try our best. Our yard is quite big, so we can grow more vegetables. We can make them into dried vegetables, which are light and convenient. Every village has its own advantages. We can use the name of the military region to transport them." Jiang Han often went home and was quite clear about what Gu Lixia did.
In the past, the single fruit tree at home would produce a lot of fruit, not to mention the fruit trees that now fill the yard.
The second sister-in-law has a talent for growing vegetables. My wife told me that the land of the Jiang family used to have no seedlings and the roots were very stinky. But since the second sister-in-law got married and tended the vegetable garden, the vegetables grew very well that year.
"Son, we have to discuss things and make decisions together in life. You can't rely on yourself to make all the decisions. There are many people in your family, and even if the yard is big, the output is limited. The things you give away may be remembered by others for the rest of their lives." Shen Roujun saw that her son had made up his mind and hurriedly persuaded him.
Jiang Han didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Mom, what are you thinking? Nothing serious has happened at home, so it's not my turn to make decisions on small matters. My second brother and his wife have a good relationship and have arranged everything. We just need to eat when we're supposed to."
"As for clothing fabrics, the children wear more, and the adults' clothes are all custom-made by tailors. I think my wife's craftsmanship is very good, but my second sister-in-law says she is just fooling the children. Now Huainan doesn't even wear clothes made by her aunt when she goes to work."
"In short, there are no conflicts at home. Huainan saves all his wages after he starts working, and occasionally goes to the supply and marketing cooperative or the grocery store to buy some things for the family."
"Your daughter-in-law and I both have the same salary. We initially kept it at home, but later she opened a savings account and saved all the money she earned. The biggest expense she had was sending things to the post office to send to her four uncles in Huainan. And your daughter-in-law hasn't been working at the post office for long, less than two years."
"Brother, did they spend all their salary on you?" Jiang Han was also listening, and the more he listened, the more envious he became.
Jiang Han also has a salary, although he was just a small calculator at the beginning, but as he learned more, his salary had increased a long time ago.
After repeated assessments, Jiang Han now earns a level 8 salary, or 106.
I never saw any money. I ate and lived in the institute, ate in the cafeteria, and all the accommodation was free.
There is no need to buy clothes. Every time I get some money, Jin Ping helps me save it all.
It's frustrating to have money but not be able to spend it. The most money I spent was on buying meals in the hospital cafeteria.
There is no need to pay for hospitalization.
"Mom, why don't you follow me to visit my sister-in-law and nephew?" Jiang Han cautiously tested his mother.
Shen Roujun is a person who doesn't want to cause trouble to anyone. She couldn't move after the operation and only went to the toilet once every three or four hours.
If Jin Ping hadn't forced her to go to the toilet, Shen Roujun would rarely take the initiative to speak.
Shen Roujun didn't say anything.
.........
When Gu Lixia and Jiang Wen came out at night, they heard Ge Jun talk about this, and the system said it word for word.
Gu Lixia said nothing.
Jiang Wen felt a little sorry for Yang Jianping. "If the adults are fine, then the children won't have any problems. The children were pushed to that point, and since we leave things lying around at home, the children thought the adults wouldn't know."
"You don't understand this. Some people like to hear compliments. They may be the youngest in the family, but their nephews are only a few years older than them. Sometimes, grandsons are more important than sons. If a son wants to be recognized by the elders in the family, he has to sacrifice something. The only person who can be sacrificed is the one that this person can control." Gu Lixia smiled.
"It's much better now than before. Even though the family is poor, there's no reason to just eat with a plate. The least you should do is to consider other people's expressions. But his child doesn't care. That's a big problem. He hasn't seen meat in too long."
"Li Cui still wants to work. Will she be able to earn enough to support Yang Jianping after she starts working? There are two possibilities for her after she starts working: she can live frugally to pay the rent and just feed the children. It's unknown how Yang Jianping will send money back home, just like before, and she can only give her parents 10 yuan a month."
"Of course, he might feel embarrassed in front of Ge Jun and us, and might write back to ask for money. However, smart people will play the long game to catch big fish, while some people only care about the immediate benefits. The time has come to test the relationship between brothers and sisters."
"And if Yang Jianping wants to do his job well, he has to pay back the rent. There are so many people who retired with him, and those with lower ranks than him don't owe rent. If he does, his words will sound like farts. Who would want to listen to them?"
"Sometimes, as a leader, it's not about putting on airs that people will be happy to listen or watch; it's about what benefits and advantages you can bring to those under you. Fence-sitters have their own way of being fence-sitters, and those who have retired from their army are still used to following orders."
