When the eldest aunt heard that Erya was back, she immediately caught two chickens. It is a custom here that when a child is born, uncles, aunts and other relatives will catch chickens and bring them to replenish their health. But in the past, the conditions were not good, so everyone gave them to them.
Eggs, now most families are well off and can afford chickens.
After giving the chicken to Tian Dalin, the eldest aunt went into the house to see Erya and the child. Looking at the child, she smiled and said to Erya: "You are a lucky one. You have a son and a daughter."
Erya also feels that she is lucky. Last month, the textile factory office forwarded the documents above and below. Starting from next month, those who have children are not allowed to have children. Those who were pregnant before will not be held accountable, but if they become pregnant this month and still survive,
If you do, you will be fired from the factory the moment the child is born. If you want to have children again, you will have no choice but to give up compared with your job.
Li Guihua was quite critical. She said: "Er Ya is lucky and gave birth to two children, but Daya and Liu Ya will only have one child in the future. One child for this family is too few."
Tian Shao and Liu Ya are both working people and must abide by the country's regulations. As for San Ya's future, it is still uncertain and it depends on who they marry in the future.
The eldest aunt nodded and said: "One child for a family is indeed too few. Sangui will have to have at least two when he gets married. Anyway, he doesn't eat from the public family and is not afraid of being fired."
In the minds of the older generation, they still think that having many children and grandchildren is a blessing.
Speaking of this, Li Guihua asked with concern: "I heard from Dakui's wife that someone introduced Erkui to a primary school teacher. Is it true?"
The eldest aunt nodded and said: "It's true. We have met a few times and we think it's good. It's just that the other person has a job, and the second chief already has two children. According to the current policy, she can't give birth. I don't want this woman."
My own child’s.”
So this matter should be out of the question.
Li Guihua nodded and said: "In that case, it is better to stop them from interacting with each other, so as not to delay others. It is better to find someone who is unemployed or from the countryside, as long as he is diligent and kind-hearted."
The eldest aunt waved her hands and said, "I won't care about this with your eldest brother. Let him make his own decision. As long as he comes back with money every month to raise the child, let him find whatever he wants."
She planned to take care of the two children by herself. Even after Li Erkui got married, she would take care of them. This would also prevent many conflicts.
Just as he was talking, he heard Ma Xiaomei shouting: "Brother, sister-in-law..."
Li Guihua heard the words and walked out. As soon as she went out, she saw Ma Xiaomei standing at the door, holding a basket in her left hand and an old hen in her right hand.
Ma Xiaomei smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I heard that Erya was pregnant, so I grabbed a chicken and brought some eggs over."
After speaking, he walked forward and handed everything to her.
When Tian Qiang's wife gave birth to her baby, Li Guihua also sent her twenty eggs. So this time she was not polite and reached out to take the basket and the chicken.
When they came out of the house, they saw Dali's daughter-in-law also coming with chickens. Tian Erlin and Xu Zhaodi knew that they were not welcome, so now they always ask the eldest daughter-in-law to come forward when dealing with any favors.
Later, the second uncle also sent a chicken, and then everyone in the same village who had children who went to work in the garment factory also sent something. Those who had a lot of money or were generous would grab a chicken or duck and bring it to them, and those who had a tight time would give two or three.
Ten eggs.
In the evening, when Li Guihua was making milk powder for her child, she said to Erya: "Today we collected a total of 16 chickens and 560 eggs. Someone should bring something tomorrow."
Erya was surprised: "Why are there so many chickens? Who gave them to them?"
Li Guihua casually mentioned five families, and then said: "Except for your uncle's family, all the other chickens are sent here because the family members have jobs. You, you are all taking advantage of your eldest sister."
Erya also admitted that her eldest sister gave her the good life she has today: "Mom, would it be bad if we collected so many things? Otherwise, we should return them all except our own relatives!"
She was afraid that Tian Shao would scold her if he found out.
Li Guihua rolled her eyes at her and said, "This is the family's intention. Why retreat? Just wait until someone in their family has a child before sending it back."
However, Li Guihua does not accept everyone’s chickens and eggs. For those whose families have not gone to work in Yangcheng and are not related to each other, they will definitely not accept it. As for other people, there is no psychological burden if they accept it. This chicken and two
Thirty eggs only cost a few dollars, which is not comparable to the money they send back every month.
Erya didn't object after hearing this, but she felt that she should write down the person who gave the gift. After all, it was easy for so many people to forget.
Li Guihua smiled and scolded: "I asked your father to remember it! You, don't worry so much. Also, so many eggs will not be eaten all in a while and will go bad easily. I will ask Suo Zhu to sell them tomorrow. The chickens will not
Sell it and kill it every other day just for you to eat."
Erya has no opinion.
In the evening, Tian Dalin and Li Guihua said: "There is no need to hold the child's baptism and full moon banquet."
"Why not do it again?"
Tian Dalin said: "Do you think we should accept gifts for the third party and the full moon banquet? If we accept gifts, will they say that we are taking advantage of the opportunity to make money? We can't receive much money, so why should we bear such a bad reputation?
."
When Li Guihua heard this, she immediately said: "Then invite relatives and friends to our home for a meal. No gifts or things will be accepted."
Tian Dalin looked at her in surprise, nodded in agreement, and said: "Don't do it for the third day of the year, it's not popular here. Besides, Daya and Xiaoyue will be back soon, and there is still work to be done in the county seat!
"
"Okay, let's have a full moon banquet instead of three baptisms."
The next day, Aunt Li also caught two chickens and brought 60 eggs, and gave her 20 yuan. Li Guihua accepted the chickens and eggs, but she didn't want the money.
Aunt Li sat down and said happily that her family was planning to build a house in October.
Aunt Li said: "There are so many people in the family who have long been unable to live in the house. But before, we had no money and had to squeeze in. In the past six months, Mugen and Caogen have been sending money back every month, so your brother-in-law wants to build six green houses like his eldest brother and the others."
Big brick house with tile roof.”
Li Guihua wiped the water on her hands on her bib and asked, "The six large brick houses with tiles in the eldest brother's house belong to Dakui. If you haven't divided the family, it means that all three sons have a share. When the house is built, it will be done."
If we go to live in a new house, who should live in the old house?”
Aunt Li didn't think about it at all.
As someone who has experienced this, Li Guihua advised: "We still need to consult the grassroots for their opinions before deciding to build a house. Otherwise, once you build this house, no matter who is allowed to live in the new house, the people left behind will feel
There will be complaints."
Mainly, most of the money for building the house was earned by two people, Mugen and Caogen. Fortunately, Mugen is married and has children, but Caogen has not yet married a wife. He spends all his money on his father-in-law, and he will not be able to use it when he gets married.
There must be some objections to the money coming. Therefore, it is better to discuss it.
Aunt Li thought this was reasonable and nodded in agreement.
It’s the last two days. Monthly passes are being collected. Monthly passes are being collected.
