Mixed in the last days as a salted fish

Chapter 398 Husband and wife reunion
After dismissing the sons, Yang Huaqing planned to talk to Chief of Staff Xia.

When I was talking on the phone with my husband at noon, my husband was a little uncertain about Guoguo's contemporary spokesperson, so he asked her to ask Comrade Lao Xia to help analyze and analyze.

"Xiao Han, is the old man off work yet?"

Han Wei is a fresh graduate this year, graduated from Yan University, a well-rounded high-achieving student, just happened to be assigned to the governor's mansion, and is currently working as Xia Congwen's life assistant.

This is a newly added position specially for little girls. Xiao Han's grandfather is Xia Congwen's hometown and old classmate, and the two families have been friends for decades.

Han Wei stood up with a "teng" sound, and said nervously, "Madam, Chief of Staff Xia hasn't left work yet. As you know, today is Liberation Day, and there is a lot of work. It is estimated that I will have to work overtime until nine or ten o'clock."

"Thank you for your hard work, there is extra food in the cafeteria tonight."

Yang Huaqing consoled her.

"Extra meal? Is there any meat?"

Han Wei said with a face full of surprise.

After all, the little girl has only just entered the society for a few months, and her work is going well, she has not encountered any intrigues, so she still retains the innocence, innocence and romance of her student days.

Yang Huaqing smiled knowingly: "Don't worry, there are canned meat and seafood soup, I promise you won't be disappointed."

She likes the little girl's character very much, and she thought about introducing her to her eldest son before, but unfortunately Zhang Guoji, a brat, thought she had small breasts, so she directly refused.

"Wow, today is a lucky day."

Han Wei's eyes lit up immediately.

The treatment of the employees of the Consul's mansion is indeed as good as the rumors said. She only joined the job at the end of June. Including today, she has already eaten seven or eight big meals, an average of once every half a month.

That's it, not including the holiday benefits.

Yang Huaqing waved his hand lightly: "Okay, get on with your work! Eat more later for dinner."

After speaking, he walked straight to the office.

Notification is not required at all.

"Dong dong dong..."

"Please come in!"

Yang Huaqing pushed the door open and entered: "Uncle Xia, are you still busy? Didn't disturb your old work?"

"Ma'am? Why are you here?"

Xia Congwen asked curiously.

As far as he knew, the other party was going to send Guoguo to the juvenile support center today. This was a major matter for the consul's family, and logically there should be no time to come.

Yang Huaqing cut to the chase and said, "You have rich experience, there is something that Lao Zhang and I can't make up our minds about, and I want you to help analyze it."

"Ma'am, what's the matter? Are you in such a hurry?"

Xia Congwen beckoned him to sit down.

"The thing is like this. Didn't I send Guoguo to the foster care center today? Then I met Dean Fan. Dean Fan improvised and wanted Guoguo to be the spokesperson for socialized parenting. Do you always think this is reliable? "

Yang Huaqing shed tears while talking.

Guoguo had to leave home at such a young age. As a mother, she felt very uncomfortable. Now she really regretted that her husband became a consul.

"Madam, please be careful. I have been to the foster care center. The conditions are very good. I won't let Guoguo suffer any grievances." Xia Congwen hurriedly comforted her.

"I know, but I just can't bear it." Yang Huaqing wiped away tears and sighed randomly: "Uncle Xia, I'm fine. Let's continue the topic just now. Do you always think Guoguo should be the spokesperson?"

Xia Congwen thought for a moment, and then said: "I think this matter has advantages and disadvantages, so it's not easy to draw conclusions."

"Oh? What do you say?"

Yang Huaqing sat up straight in an instant, pretending to be listening carefully.

"Let's put it this way, this matter doesn't have much impact on Guoguo, but it's with the consul..."

"What does it have to do with our old Zhang?"

Yang Huaqing interrupted quickly.

"Socialized parenting was first proposed by the Consul. If it is a big success, Guoguo's image spokesperson will undoubtedly help her father gain a lot of points, which is very beneficial to the Consul's re-election.

But if the project ends in failure, then correspondingly, the consul will also be criticized, which will be very detrimental to future re-election, and it may even be impossible to get the status of a candidate. "

Xia Congwen explained patiently.

Yang Huaqing was slightly taken aback, and then probed in a low voice: "I heard what you mean, Dean Fan wants to play tricks and deliberately set up a trick for our old Zhang?"

"This is a conspiracy. It depends on whether the consul is willing to gamble." Xia Congwen nodded.

"Will socialization succeed?"

"It's hard to say. From the current point of view, the probability of success is half and half! After all, socialized parenting is a new thing, and it involves all aspects. No matter how powerful an economist or sociologist is, it is difficult to make a correct prediction."

Yang Huaqing thought for a while, and said worriedly: "If we refuse, will President Fan have any objections?"

"You don't have to worry about this at all. Dean Fan can't cover the sky with one hand right now." Xia Congwen paused, and then said earnestly: "Madam, I suggest you think about it."

"Uncle Xia, are you always inclined to agree?"

Yang Huaqing guessed.

"Well, the consul talked to me before, and 'socialized upbringing' is very likely to be the focus of his future work. Once the plan fails, the blow to the consul will be fatal. Even if the term of office can be extended, it will not mean much." Xia Congwen said straightforwardly.

"I see, don't worry, Lao Zhang and I will think carefully about it."

Yang Huaqing nodded solemnly.

……

At 07:30 in the evening, Yang Huaqing and his group came to the minor support center again.

When they arrived at the parents' reception room, everyone realized that their family was not an exception, and there were many more exaggerated ones than theirs.

There were quite a few families, even the whole family, and almost all of them came, including parents, grandparents, grandparents, and other aunts and aunts.

In fact, this situation is not surprising. Young people nowadays are generally afraid of marriage and childbearing. Even if they are married, they are only willing to have one to deal with it.

And a group of five brothers and sisters like the old Zhang family is very rare.

Afraid of revealing her identity, Yang Huaqing declined Dean Shen's company. Shen Xiaobei was already very busy, so she took advantage of the situation and agreed, but arranged for another person to accompany her.

In the nursery, Kuang Wenhui couldn't wait to hold her granddaughter in her arms, while Zhang Guoji and the other three gathered around, teasing Guoguo with a smile.

On Yang Huaqing's side, she took the opportunity to chat with a mother next to her. This was requested by her husband to collect as much real feedback as possible.

"Sister Yang, how old is your daughter?"

Yang Huaqing was wearing a mask, but she was not recognized by the other party: "He just turned two years old, where is your son?"

"Our son is three years older than your daughter." Ma Lulu paused for a moment, then asked curiously: "Sister Yang, it seems that your family's conditions are not bad. The child is so young, what do you think?"

"My child's father and I are busy with work. Apart from the two older ones, there are three younger ones at home. We can't take care of them. I heard that the conditions here are not bad, so I want to come and have a look. If I can't get used to it, the worst thing is to go back. "

Yang Huaqing casually made up a reason.

"Hey, you really have a lot of children in your family."

Ma Lulu was startled.

Yang Huaqing smiled embarrassingly, without further explanation, and asked casually, "How many children are you?"

"How many more? One is enough for me."

Ma Lulu waved her hands repeatedly.

"Huh? Your family's condition doesn't look bad, does it? Besides, it's not that you can't take care of it, so why send your child here?" Yang Huaqing asked puzzled.

Ma Lulu pouted her lips in the direction of her husband, and couldn't help but sighed: "Our child's father works in the street office, and the task is assigned by him. He is a small employee with no power and power, and he has no power to resist."

"What? Apportionment?"

Yang Huaqing couldn't help being a little surprised.

Ma Lulu looked around and explained in a low voice:

"After all, the foster care center is newly opened, and no one dares to take risks with their children. Besides, it is easy to send the children here, but at the same time, the family will lose a food stamp.

You also know that there are extra subsidies for children, and many families rely on this little subsidy to survive. How can it be possible to just lose it? "

"Isn't this engaging in formalism?"

Yang Huaqing suddenly had great doubts about the so-called "socialized upbringing".

If everything is true, she absolutely can't let her husband take risks, even if she doesn't want this image spokesperson.

"Is there still less formalism in these years?" Ma Lulu spat, "But having said that, the conditions here are not bad, much better than ordinary kindergartens. The key is that it is free, but you can stay for a while and have a look."

"Are you willing to put the child here?"

"What is there to be reluctant about? Anyway, our family is not short of that little subsidy. It's just a place to go to kindergarten, and it doesn't have to be picked up every day. It's so worry-free and labor-saving."

"If the child doesn't get close to his parents in the future, what should he do?" Yang Huaqing asked again.

Ma Lulu waved her hands, and said indifferently, "What's there to worry about? The big deal is to be more diligent and visit the children more often. To be honest, this is much easier than raising the children by myself."

"It seems to be the same." Yang Huaqing nodded, and then said with emotion: "So, most of the children here are from the families of official employees?"

"I think it's more or less the same. In fact, it's better if those poor families don't come, so as not to spoil the atmosphere here. Let me tell you, there are a group of little starving ghosts in my son's kindergarten, who grab food from classmates every day. "

Ma Lulu said with disgust on her face.

When Yang Huaqing heard the words, she instantly had an illusion that this place was not a foster center, but more like those aristocratic kindergartens mentioned on the Internet.

Ma Lulu didn't notice Yang Huaqing's face, and continued to say carelessly: "Sister Yang, have you read the news? It is said that the little princess of the Consul's family is also here?"

"Uh, what's wrong with that?"

"Hey, as long as the foster care center doesn't fail, our brat and the little princess are childhood sweethearts. I don't know if we can marry the little princess back home?"

Ma Lulu looked forward to it.

The consul's family is both powerful and rich, and it is recognized as the best choice for in-laws. If the son can win, he will not have to worry about it for the rest of his life.

Yang Huaqing's face suddenly became extremely ugly. Good guy, he dared to attack their precious daughter. If her husband found out, he would probably be furious.

She hurriedly changed the subject and asked a very crucial question: "Xiao Ma, if there was a foster center to help raise the child, would you have a second child?"

"Having a second child?" Ma Lulu hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "If possible, I would like to have another child, preferably a daughter, so that we can have both children!"

"Really?" Yang Huaqing was a little surprised.

"Well, although having a child is very hard, how can I say it, the child will have a sense of accomplishment after birth, and if you have more children, you will be more secure in the future."

"Then aren't you worried about your child's future life?"

Ma Lulu shook her head, looking very confident: "There is no need to worry. Dabao's grandpa and grandparents both have houses, and they will each have a house for each of them. If they have a house, are they afraid of starving to death?"

Yang Huaqing was speechless. According to the housing prices in the capital, there is no need to worry about living problems. You can rent out a room and you can live comfortably.

Next, the two chatted for more than two hours. Finally, when the children fell asleep, the group returned to the parents' dormitory arranged by the foster care center.

……

After a week of deliberation, Zhang Hao and his wife finally agreed to let their youngest daughter be the spokesperson for the "socialized raising" plan.

After a series of intensive publicity by the government, the little girl Guoguo soon became famous all over the Federation, and the title of "Little Princess" became more and more popular among the people.

October 10, the day of the Double Ninth Festival.

Yang Huaqing got on the passenger ship and officially set off for the Middle East to meet her husband. Guoguo didn't need anyone to take care of her, so she just had time to spare.

A month and a half later, Yang Huaqing successfully arrived in Cairo, the capital of Egypt. After [-] months, the couple finally met again.

Zhang Hao and his brother-in-law and Suzanne arrived at Suez Port one day ahead of schedule.

Although the Suez Canal was abandoned, the port was not abandoned along with it. On the contrary, the Port of Suez is still a golden channel connecting Asia and Europe.

However, the former canal has become a railway.

Moreover, in order to increase the transportation volume, the officials built a total of six parallel railways along the canal, which barely met the daily freight demand.

Looking at the dry canal in front of him, Yang Haoxuan couldn't help but suggested: "Brother-in-law, it's too inconvenient without a canal, why don't we dig it again?"

"How can it be so easy? Since the eruption of the Yellowstone volcano, the sea level has dropped every year. I don't know when it will be the end. It can't be dredged again every one or two years, right? The cost is too high."

Zhang Hao explained casually.

Susanna immediately echoed, "Brother-in-law is right. There is no need to dredge the Suez Canal. It is better to build a few more railways. Although transshipment is very troublesome, at least it can increase a lot of jobs, and it is not useless."

"Unfortunately, without this canal, all direct cargo ships would have to detour through the Strait of Panama and then cross the Atlantic Ocean. Thinking about it makes one's scalp tingle."

Yang Haoxuan couldn't help saying regretfully.

Another point is that the constant traffic will intensify the separation tendency of the Europa people. Over time, two centers will inevitably be born in the federation.

This is quite disadvantageous!
