Div class="DivMargin" "Who said it's not a big deal?" Zhang Chunfang's eyes widened: "Can carrying on the family line be a small matter? Also, is it wrong for me to have a grandson?"
"Yes, you are right, it was Gu Li and I's fault." Ma Xiaoyao said hurriedly.
"I'm just wondering, why don't you want to have a child?" Zhang Chunfang asked: "You and Gu Li's salary is not low, right? What's more, your father and I still have some savings, which is more than enough to support a child, not to mention me.
If you and your father help you raise a child, you can just become ready-made parents. Don’t you want a child at all?”
"No, Gu Li and I also want to have children, but..." Ma Xiaoyao wanted to explain.
Zhang Chunfang waved her hand: "I don't want to hear your explanation. Tell me clearly and clearly now when you plan to have a child! Give me an accurate message!"
Ma Xiaoyao opened his mouth, then closed it again.
"What? Is it so difficult to tell the truth!" Zhang Chunfang was a little angry.
"It's not difficult. To be honest, it's not difficult at all." Ma Xiaoyao said with a smile: "Next year, next year at the latest, Gu Li and I will have a baby!"
"This is what you said. If you can't do it then, don't blame me for falling out!" Zhang Chunfang said fiercely.
"Okay, don't worry, since I promised you, I will never go back on it." Ma Xiaoyao patted his chest vigorously.
"That's pretty much it." Zhang Chunfang's anger finally dissipated and a smile appeared on her face.
Finally got my mother! It’s not easy! Ma Xiaoyao breathed a sigh of relief.
"Children" is an unavoidable issue for any family, but having children is definitely not a trivial matter. You must be cautious and cautious. You must not just have a child and raise it regardless of it. There is huge pressure in today's society and the cost of raising a child.
It is very high. It not only requires special care, but also costs a lot of money. In short, it is not easy to feed a child nowadays.
I once read a diary in which someone said, "In a few years, children will only be a luxury for wealthy families." This sentence seems very extreme and irritating, but if you think about it carefully, it makes some sense.
, it is very difficult for ordinary families to feed a child.
Let’s use a ratio. Zhang San and Li Si got married at the same time and gave birth to children at the same time. Zhang San’s family is rich. They hire high-quality nannies for their children, buy the best milk powder for their children, let their children live in the most comfortable house, and go out to play.
Hire bodyguards to ensure the safety of the children. When the children grow up, Zhang San will also spend a sum of money to let the children start a company. Even if they lose money, it doesn't matter. Zhang San is fully capable of ensuring that his children have food and clothing for a lifetime.
Li Si's family is poor. Both of them are ordinary working people, and their wages are not high. After giving birth to a child, the wife has to take leave to take care of the child at home, while the husband goes out to work alone to earn money to support the whole family. The pressure is very high, and there is no money at hand.
Due to financial constraints, I can't afford a nanny or high-quality milk powder for my children, nor can I afford to buy a house with a good environment, nor can I afford to hire a bodyguard. Even if I buy a toy for my children, I have to think about it for several days, and in the end I have to think about it.
Without the cheapest toys, when the children grow up, Li Si has no ability to help them, and can only rely on the children to struggle and struggle on their own. The children have been wronged, suffered, and suffered hardships outside. Li Si and his wife have no choice but to get rid of them.
Tears can't do anything.
Li Si's children have two fates in the end. The first is to fight for their own strength and finally get rid of poverty, create a prosperous life with their own hands, and let their parents benefit from it. The second is to be ordinary people, live an ordinary life, and follow Li Si's old path.
, and ended up doing nothing for the rest of his life.
Because Zhang San is rich, he can have unlimited children and raise as many as he wants, but Li Si is extremely stressed about raising one child.
This is the gap, this is raising children.
Unknowingly, I remembered that sentence again: "In a few years, children will only be a luxury for wealthy families."
Ma Xiaoyao has lived for more than thirty years and has seen too many things. His and Gu Li's wages are indeed not low, and the pressure of having children is not great. The key problem is that Gu Li is now on the rise in her career. Once she gives birth,
Having children will delay work, and the delay will be very long. By then, Guli may lose the glory she has now. It is because of her unwillingness that Guli has not had children.
Ma Xiaoyao can understand Gu Li better, but as he grows older, Ma Xiaoyao also begins to have opinions about Gu Li. He does not object to Gu Li becoming a strong woman, but she must fulfill her minimum wifely duties, right?
Sometimes, Ma Xiaoyao wishes he could give birth to a child so that he wouldn't have to worry about it. The key is that he is a male and does not have the ability to have children.
"Alas..." Ma Xiaoyao stood on the balcony, looking at the starry sky in the distance, and sighed softly: "I have a headache... I really have a headache..."
"Why are you sighing?" Ma Dahai appeared behind him at some unknown time.
"Dad...when did you come?" Ma Xiaoyao was stunned.
"Not long after I came here, I heard you sighing." Ma Dahai smiled slightly: "Is it because of your mother? Did she say something unpleasant to you?"
Ma Xiaoyao shook his head: "Mom didn't say anything unpleasant, she just forced me to have a child as soon as possible."
"What? You don't want it?" Ma Dahai was not surprised at all. He seemed to have expected that Zhang Chunfang would do this.
"It's not that I don't want it, it's just that... the reasons are a bit complicated..." Ma Xiaoyao didn't know how to explain it.
Ma Dahai took a deep look at Ma Xiaoyao: "Is it because of Gu Li's side?"
"I..." Ma Xiaoyao was about to speak, but was interrupted by Ma Dahai.
"Gu Li is indeed capable. Our Ma family is really lucky to have such a daughter-in-law in the past life, but..." At this point, Ma Dahai's tone suddenly changed: "No matter how capable Gu Li is, she is still a woman. As a
A woman, especially a married woman, has to fulfill her obligations as a wife? She cannot make the whole family unhappy for her own selfish reasons."
"Actually, Gu Li also wants to have children, but she is currently on the rise in her career..." Before Ma Xiaoyao could finish her words, she was interrupted again by Ma Dahai.
"Will having a child affect your career?" Ma Dahai said in a deep voice: "In the end, it's all your own wild guesses. If Guli wants to have a child, can the superiors be unreasonable? It's still okay if she's pregnant.
Just be careful when going to work. After giving birth to the child, just take a two-month break. Then leave the child to me and your mother, and let Gu Li continue to go to work. After all, it will delay Gu Li and her husband.
Months of time, can’t she even squeeze out two months?”
Ma Xiaoyao twisted his mouth: "Dad, your calculation is not accurate..."
"Where is the inaccuracy? I have more experience than you!" Ma Dahai said one sentence, leaving Ma Xiaoyao speechless.
Parents are parents. No matter what they say, children must listen. If they dare to resist, it is unfilial. No matter who they are, no one wants to be known as unfilial.
"Your mother is not wrong. You are not young anymore. If you don't have children, it will be difficult in the future. Hurry up and discuss it with Gu Li and find a time to deal with this matter. As long as you give birth to a child, your mother and I will
I will never nag you again." Ma Dahai said.
"My mother wants a grandson... What if we give birth to a girl..." Ma Xiaoyao held it in for a long time before he finally said this.
"What era are we in? It's the same for boys and girls. Your mother and I won't have any objections." At this point, Ma Dahai added: "You should work harder. It would be better if you can give birth to a boy."
Giving birth to a child is completely dependent on luck, how can you decide it yourself? Ma Xiaoyao was speechless.
"It's late at night, go back to bed quickly." After patting Ma Xiaoyao's shoulder, Ma Dahai turned and left.
"Alas..." Ma Xiaoyao sighed softly: "There are too many helpless things in life...children...it seems that the matter of having children must be put on the agenda..."
…
As expected, Ma Xiaoyao kept his word. After returning this time, he was not in a hurry to leave. He stayed at home directly. He played chess with his father every day, chatted with his mother, occasionally went out for a walk as a family, and gathered together for a reunion dinner in the evening.
, although the little life was monotonous, it was very warm.
Ma Xiaoyao originally planned to stay a few more days, but a phone call disrupted his plan.
"Mr. Ma, I have arrived in the capital, where are you now?" Wu Ying's voice came from the mobile phone.
"I'm at home... let's go to Guangming Square and wait for me. I'll go find you right away." After making an appointment with Wu Ying, Ma Xiaoyao hung up the phone and turned to go find his parents to say goodbye.
"What? You've just stayed for two days and you're leaving?" Zhang Chunfang's face suddenly darkened.
"Isn't this something temporary..." Ma Xiaoyao said with a bitter face: "Mom, I'll come see you after I finish my work."
"I don't know how long it will take for you to finish your work." Zhang Chunfang snorted.
"Okay, don't lose your temper." Ma Dahai advised: "Xiaoyao is busy with work, so let's not hold him back... Xiaoyao, go ahead and do your work. Come see us later when you have time."
"All good people have done it for you! I have become a bad person!" Zhang Chunfang glared at Ma Dahai fiercely.
"I...I..." Ma Dahai was so crowded that he didn't know what to say. He was a sharp-tongued wife, and quarreling with her was just asking for abuse.
Zhang Chunfang stood up and took out a plastic bag from the cabinet: "These are the clothes I bought for you. You can take them with you."
"Mom, I..." Ma Xiaoyao wanted to say something.
"Stop talking, Mom was wrong to be angry with you just now. In fact, Mom just doesn't want you to leave." Zhang Chunfang shook her head slightly: "When you grow up, you are no longer the little brat who lingered under my knees. You
You have your own job and your own path to walk, and I, as a mother, should not hold you back."
"Mom, don't say that. It's because the children are unfilial and can't accompany you often..." Ma Xiaoyao's eyes were a little moist.
