Chapter 389 Arrangement of Two Little Girls
It was almost morning when Xu Damao came back from the factory. He sat down on the sofa and started complaining.
"Oh, now everything is in chaos."
"Don't worry about whether it's a mess or not. I don't think this matter will be resolved in a short time. Be honest and don't get involved."
Liu Guozheng doesn't care whether there is chaos outside or not. It has no impact on him for the time being. During the day, he plays cards when there are people in the office, goes to help out when there are helpers at the front, and goes home to be with his wife and children at night. His life is no different from before.
"Brother Zheng, I know. I have a son and a daughter now. If I don't consider myself, I have to consider my wife and children."
In July of 1964, Xu Damao had a son, named Xu Ruyun, and the whole family loved him very much. Now Zhang Wenhua is five months pregnant again. In Xu Damao's words, if you can have more children, you should have more. If you have fewer children, you will be too lonely. He knows this very well. He has no brothers or sisters, and when he was a child, no one helped him when he fought with other children.
Besides, nowadays people believe in strength in numbers and more people means more things can be done. This was also the time when the population of Xia State began to grow rapidly. As long as the people were in good health and could give birth, the family would generally have three or four children. Some even had seven or eight. In the 1960s and 1970s, the cost of raising children was still within everyone's affordability. In addition, getting married was relatively simple. If you liked each other, you could bring your wife home with a few dollars of betrothal gift. The houses were also simple. Those with good conditions could live in brick and tile houses, while those with poor conditions could marry a wife in a thatched house.
If in later generations, if a family has three or four sons, then you should just work hard and honestly. The cost of raising a boy from birth to marriage will cost at least one million.
"Just know it, kid."
"Alas, I don't have time to work because of this. I am not allowed to rest on my normal rest days. I have meetings every day. I don't know what they are trying to achieve."
"Da Mao, you must remember to try not to take sides. If you really can't avoid it, you must leave a way out when you do things, understand?"
"I know, brother Zheng."
Since the large-scale storm began in May, Liu Guozheng has told them this many times, and they have almost memorized it.
"Brother Zheng, isn't Dabao back yet?"
"No. I think all factories are the same now. Your factory has meetings and sports every day, and the textile factory cannot avoid it either."
"There are many female workers in the textile mills, so I don't think there will be much work."
"Hahaha, you're wrong. Women are just as good as men at exercising. In fact, they can even be better."
"That's right, Brother Zheng, you know Yu Haitang, right? She's Dabao's sister-in-law. She's been jumping up and down since May, more active than many men."
Speaking of Yu Haitang, when she just graduated from high school, Yu Li wanted her to work in the office or food factory. However, the girl had a high opinion of herself and looked down on the job here, thinking it had no future. Later, when the steel mill was recruiting announcers, she became an announcer at the steel mill, just like in the TV show.
In the TV show, Yu Haitang is not a person who can settle down. First, she kicked her partner, and then she was with Sha Zhu and Xu Damao, especially Xu Damao, who were both at the stage of discussing marriage. In the end, the marriage did not take place due to various reasons.
"That's not a stable master either. We can't control it."
"That's right, just like what you said, brother Zheng, everyone should take care of their own business and not worry about other people's problems."
"You kid, when did I say that? I only said to respect other people's fate."
"Hey, same, all the same."
Xu Damao kept eating hawthorn slices while talking. Since the two snacks were added, he followed suit. His pockets were filled with either candy or snacks. He also had cigarettes, but he didn't smoke them.
After taking a sip of water, Xu Damao said in a servile manner: "Brother Zheng, can we discuss something?"
"What good things are you thinking about?"
"It's about your eldest niece. Seeing that things are getting more and more chaotic outside, I thought of sending her to the village. Isn't there a kindergarten in our village? There will be someone to play with her and she can also study. It's killing two birds with one stone."
"Look for yourself. Besides, will Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu agree? Will your wife agree?"
"Yes, I have already told them, and they have no objection. Besides, their minds are now on their grandson."
"Okay, when Dabao comes back, ask Dabao's family if Xinxin wants to go."
"That's a good relationship. It will be easier for two girls to adapt together."
The two were chatting when Li Dabao came into the living room. After entering the living room, he began to complain: "Damn, there are meetings every day, meetings every day, today we criticize someone, tomorrow we learn advanced experience from other places, you tell me, this is a mess, what is there to learn from this? The more we learn, the more chaotic it becomes."
"Be careful, kid, don't say anything out loud."
"Brother Zheng, we are at home now. By the way, what were you talking about just now? I heard two little girls. What's going on?"
Xu Damao took over the conversation and expressed his thoughts. After listening, Li Dabao's eyes lit up and he wondered why he hadn't thought of it before. The eldest girl at home is four years old and can go to kindergarten, but that's not possible in the city. Now all schools, regardless of size, have basically suspended classes. They are all carrying out movements, and teachers and professors have been dragged out by students to be criticized and paraded through the streets.
If there is a place in the city where one can study and live with peace of mind, it is Hope New Village. In this way, he even wants to send his son there as well.
"Brother Zheng, it's the same as giving one away, why not give the little one over as well?"
"Dabao, can you and Yu Li bear with this?"
"Hey, Brother Zheng, we've made up our mind. We'll stay in the village at night and take your car to work during the day."
"Good boy, Dabao, you are really good. You have a flexible mind."
"Hey, this just occurred to me. I'll talk to Lily when she comes back from her parents' home this afternoon."
Xu Damao was stunned. Wow, Dabao’s idea is really good.
Unfortunately, this is not suitable for him. The older girl in the family can be sent to the village, but this younger one definitely cannot, as she cannot pass the test of her own parents.
"Then I'll go home and discuss it."
"Da Mao, will I still cook your lunch at noon?"
"Do it, I'll bring Ruyi over later."
Xu Damao's family conditions are among the best, but Xu's mother's cooking skills are not as good as Liu Guozheng's. As long as Liu Guozheng is in the office, Xu Damao usually eats there. He has gotten used to it over the years. What's more, the food in the office is much better than their home. There is meat in every meal, and the portions are large and filling.
