Reborn in the red age

Chapter 264 Discussing having a second child with Mother Li
He raised his hand and looked at the time on his watch. It was already past the time to get off work. Qingfeng Li kept moving his hands, picking up the briefcase he had packed and getting ready to get off work.

By this time, the students had already left, and with a little guessing, you could figure out who was coming from outside.

Sure enough, just after getting off the podium, Wu Simin walked in from outside the classroom.

"Teacher, I'm sorry for causing you trouble. If it weren't for me, they wouldn't have fought." As soon as Wu Simin entered the classroom, she bowed deeply and apologized to Qingfeng Li in a hoarse voice.

Li Qingfeng, who just wanted to go home from work as soon as possible, waved his hand nonchalantly: "It's okay, they don't deal with each other in the first place. The fight has nothing to do with you. You don't have to blame yourself. Go back quickly. The teaching building is now There’s no one here anymore”

"But.."

"There's nothing wrong with it. Let's go quickly. Don't you have to go to the internship tomorrow? Go back and have a good rest at night, and work hard at the institute tomorrow. What you earn now is all your living expenses in the United States."

"they."

"They are fine. They have shaken hands and made peace with the teacher's mediation."

"I"

"By the way, your teacher and I have also studied abroad. Let me tell you the process of studying abroad. Before going to the United States, first of all"

"Okay, you take care of yourself at home. I'll be back in a week at most. I won't stay at home for too long."

"You chose to be a government-sponsored international student, which may arouse the jealousy of some classmates, but it's okay. Tomorrow is summer vacation, and they will all go home. They should be able to accept the fact when they return from school."

Qingfeng Li quickly stopped Hu Jiabao and said worriedly, "Can you take care of the child at home alone?"

Smiling and waving at the window to say goodbye to his eldest brother-in-law, Qingfeng Li's face slumped when the train started, and he shook his head as he looked at the packed hard-seat carriage.

"Forget it, wait until the Chinese New Year. I will take a few more days off for the Chinese New Year this year. After celebrating the Chinese New Year at your house, our family will return to my parents' house."

When we arrived in the provincial capital, it happened to be a weekend, and the eldest sister and her husband were not at work. Li Qingfeng teased his eldest nephew, who could already walk, and had a meal with the couple at her house at noon.

The eldest sister and his wife are both down-to-earth people. They are very satisfied with their current work and life, and have no thoughts of going to the sea to make a lot of money and live a good life. After seeing this, Li Qingfeng did not say anything at the dinner table, but talked and laughed. I chatted about home affairs with my eldest sister and her family.

"teacher"

"You can go back if you want. Speaking of which, you really haven't been home for a long time. Now that you are on summer vacation, if you don't go back, your father-in-law and mother-in-law will have objections." Hearing that Qingfeng Li wanted to go home for a visit, Hu Jiabao had no idea. Opinions, when you get up, you have to help Qingfeng Li pack his things.

After chatting for a while, they left gifts and left. The eldest brother-in-law Zhang Fenzhan rode his bicycle to take Qingfeng Li to the train station. He paid for Zhang's train ticket home and stood on the platform to see Qingfeng Li board the train.

After thinking for a long time, he shook his head: "Forget it, I won't go back. Have you forgotten about the last time you got sick in the first grade of junior high school? Besides, the hospital is very busy recently. It takes at least more than a week to go home. They won’t grant me leave”

That night, after Hu Jiabao came back from get off work with his children, Li Qingfeng told Hu Jiabao that he wanted to go home while teasing the children.

Compared to Li Qingfeng who had not been home for more than a year, Hu Jiabao had not been back to Suzhou for three years and was very excited about this proposal.

"What's the point? Usually the children go to work with me, but now Wenhui has gone to sea. During this period, I can let Wenhui live in our house, and she can also help take care of the children at night."

"Why don't we go back together? My dad and eldest brother haven't seen the child yet. Let's go back to Suzhou and let my father-in-law see the child."

Qingfeng Li quickly locked the classroom door. He didn't give Wu Simin a chance to speak. After talking nonsense, he successfully tricked Wu Simin into leaving and rode his bicycle parked downstairs to go home for the holidays.

After discussing with Hu Jiabao, Li Qingfeng bought a plane ticket with a letter of introduction and took a plane to the provincial capital. He first went to his eldest sister to see his eldest nephew, and then took the train home.

The school is on holiday, and the focus of the institute is on the United States. There is nothing to be busy with in the two institutes located at Peking University. Qingfeng Li is now completely free and relaxed.

"Don't stop eating because of choking. Last time on the first day of the new year, it was not long after the full moon. In addition, the air is not flowing on the train in winter. It is summer now. The child will be fine." At this point, Li Qingfeng paused: "There is no need to ask for leave. Worry, Mr. Wang is very familiar with your dean, ask him to say hello, and the hospital will give it to you."

I was too lazy to go to Ma Wenhui's clothing store to work as a supervisor. I stayed at home for two days in boredom, wondering if I should go home. Calculating the time, I haven't been back to my hometown for a year and a half, and I don't know what the situation is like at home.

Forget it, it's only a few hours' drive from the provincial capital to my home anyway, so bear with it.

Qingfeng Li comforted himself in his heart, found a place to stand, took out Mr. Jin Yong's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" from his shoulder bag and started reading, passing the time in boredom.

"Oh, I'm sorry, comrade, I have an urgent need to urinate, please be patient."

Qingfeng Li, who was fascinated by his book, was suddenly bumped into by someone. He raised his head and looked at the person in displeasure. He saw an elderly man who kept bending down to apologize to Qingfeng Li.

There were people coming and going on the train, but Qingfeng Li didn't pay much attention to it. He waved his hand and said, "It's okay, old comrade. You can go to the toilet quickly."

"Hey, comrade, you are such a good person, you don't care about an old man like me."

"Old comrade, this is not a big deal. There are so many people on the train. You bump into me and I bump into you. What's the point?"

"What a good comrade, I'll leave then. The old man is really in a hurry to go to the toilet and can't help it anymore." The old man smiled and reached out to pat Li Qingfeng's arm before turning around and leaving.

Looking at the old man's back, Li Qingfeng nodded. At this age, it is rare to see an old man with such quality. After a slight bump, he actually bent down to apologize to such a young man.

After the train arrived at the station, Qingfeng Li got off the train carrying his luggage. As soon as he got off the train, he suddenly felt a chill down below. He stretched out his hand and touched it. There was a big hole of about ten centimeters in the loose trousers he was wearing.

There was a big hole in this position, and Qingfeng Li was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat for a moment. Regardless of whether it was in public or not, he quickly put down his luggage, bent down to check the situation carefully, and after confirming that only the outer trousers were cut, he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, no flesh was injured.

If it were an inch deeper, my little brother would definitely see blood today. He carefully checked other things, and Qingfeng Li was speechless. Does this guy have any moral character? What kind of character is he? Just scratch a satchel. There is also dozens of dollars in it. Just take the money and leave. How can you still scratch me? Where are the pants?

Do I look like someone who hides money in underwear?
Fortunately, all the important things were stored in the space. I never put valuables in the bag. I just lost some money today.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, the thief on this train really dared to strike. He dared to scratch his crotch. If it was a little deeper, he would be beaten to death."

Boss Li, who was riding a tricycle in the bureau and came specifically to pick up Qingfeng Li, was amazed when he saw a cut made in Qingfeng Li's crotch.

Seeing Boss Li gloating about his misfortune, Qingfeng Li ignored him, picked up his luggage, and walked towards the exit of the train station.

Boss Li pursed his lips and smiled, then followed Qingfeng Li and walked outside: "How is it? You didn't lose anything important, right?"

"I haven't lost anything, I just lost some money and food stamps. You really can't tell a person's face. That old man is very old, but he still has this skill," Qingfeng Li said through gritted teeth.

As a police officer, I have seen this kind of thing a lot, so I reached out and patted Qingfeng Li on the shoulder: "It's normal. Those who dare to cut off their crotches and look for money from the outer pockets of their pants on the train are all older thieves. Let's be younger." The thieves don’t have the guts or the skills.”

"You are older and have more experience. The older you get, the more popular you become. It seems to be applicable to any industry."

"That's not the case"

Sitting in the back seat of the tricycle, Li Qingfeng, who had not been home for more than a year, curiously looked at the streets of the county.

The wind of reform and opening up finally spread to small counties. Many new stores opened on the streets of the county. Occasionally, bell-bottom pants can be seen on young people.

When he returned home, Boss Li didn't get out of the car. Just before Qingfeng Li was about to walk in, he said in a low voice: "Well, third brother, you haven't been back for more than a year. Our dad has changed a lot this year. You have to have some thoughts." Prepare"

"What has changed about our dad?" Li Qingfeng stopped and asked curiously.

Speaking of this, Boss Li looked a little weird, hesitating and unwilling to say more, only saying that he would know when Father Li comes back in the evening.

These words made Li Qingfeng confused. Naturally, Li Qingfeng knew Li's father relatively well. He was a standard old Chinese father.

Besides, Father Li is now fifty-four, and he has reached the age where he knows his destiny. What changes can a person of this age make?
Putting what Boss Li said just now out of his mind, Qingfeng Li strode into the house. At this time, there was only Mother Li in the house. When she saw her third child coming back through the window, Mother Li quickly came out and said, "The third child is back." "

As she spoke, she looked behind her and found that Qingfeng Li was alone. The smile on Mother Li's face disappeared and she said unhappily: "Why are you the only one back? Your wife and daughter are not here?"

"Looking at what you said, she's still working, and the unit doesn't belong to our family. How can I just give her a holiday?" Li Qingfeng walked around Mother Li with his luggage and walked towards the house.

Mother Li curled her lips and did not continue to ask why Hu Jiabao and Chu Yi didn't come back. She followed her youngest son towards the house.

Mother Li entered the room, and before Qingfeng Li, who had just put down his luggage, could take a breath, he quickly stepped forward, grabbed Qingfeng Li's arm and sat on the sofa.

"No, Mom, why are you dragging me down? Just tell me if you have anything to do."

"Sit down first, sit down and talk later"

After the two of them sat down, Li's mother looked at Qingfeng Li seriously: "Third brother, there are some things I wanted to say when I was serving your wife during the confinement period. It just so happened that your wife didn't come back this time, so I'll follow her carefully. Tell me what you think"

Seeing Li's mother's serious expression, Li Qingfeng found it funny. He tried his best to put on a serious expression on his face and cooperate with the little old lady.

Mother Li pondered for a moment, organized her words, and then said slowly: "That's what happened, third child, it's eight months since she was in the first year of junior high school, and your wife has been working all the time and can't take care of the child wholeheartedly. I am Thinking about it this way, you can still make money anyway, and the family doesn’t need your wife’s salary. Why don’t you just let your wife resign, and then she can concentrate on raising the children at home, take care of you, and then have another child?”

"Mom, your idea is really bad. Don't look soft on Jiabao's temper. She has a good idea and can be tough when she needs to be tough. I don't dare to say this to her. Are you asking me to follow her? My wife is quarreling." Hearing what Li's mother said, Li Qingfeng shook his head repeatedly to express his rejection.

Faced with her son who couldn't grasp the key points, Mother Li slapped Qingfeng Li twice on the arm.

"You are such a fool. The point I am talking about is asking your wife to resign. I am talking about giving birth to a second child. Your wife is working, so how can she give birth to a second child for you?" At this point, Mother Li hesitated. After a while, he glanced at Qingfeng Li's face and said earnestly: "Chu Yi is a girl, and she is going to get married. When the time comes, we can give Chu Yi a portion of the family property, and ensure that she has no worries about food and drink for the rest of her life. But I still have to have my own son to inherit the family property.”

"When it comes to having a second child, let's talk about having a second child. What are you talking about asking her to resign?"

Mother Li looked at her silly and effervescent son, sneered, and slowly read out the slogans on the street.

Listening to the slogans read by Li's mother, Li Qingfeng thought of the slogans he saw painted on the wall on the train, and suddenly felt a little shuddering.

"You also know that it is family planning now. You and Jiabao are both regular employees of the company. Your wife is still working in the hospital. If it is found out, there is no need to bother the neighborhood committee. Her colleagues in the company can help handle the matter."

Mother Li's words were very cryptic, but Qingfeng Li did understand the meaning.

Qingfeng Li thought for a while and said uncertainly: "It's not so strict now, right? What you said is too exaggerated."

"Don't look at this. This thing is the same every day. Who knows what we will say then. Our county already had an example last month." At this point, Mother Li sighed deeply.

Having worked as a temporary worker on a local council for many years, I have seen this kind of thing a lot.

Qingfeng Li took a breath. He had heard a little bit about this matter in later generations, but he remembered that it was only done in the late 1980s or early 1990s.

The law was enacted in 83, but I didn’t expect that this would happen in the second half of 84.

In this way, Hu Jiabao needs to plan carefully for giving birth to a second child.
