1130, Second Child Era 2
Zhou Zekai, who went to the kitchen, thought he had gotten rid of the urging matters, helped his wife cook meals, and after the preparations were all arranged, he went outside with Huo Xuanxuan and sat with his parents and talked to him.
Zhou’s father and mother were actually very satisfied with Huo Xuanxuan’s daughter-in-law. They were not only good-looking but also had a job and were caring. They were also very nice to their husband and wife. They could be said to be a good wife that they couldn’t find.
So even if Zhou's mother asked her son to have a second child, she would not tell Huo Xuanxuan in front of her that Zhou's mother still knew about Huo Xuanxuan's work. She had maternity leave when she gave birth to Ai Ai before. According to the contract, there is no second child leave. If she had a second child, she would probably have to resign.
Zhou's mother had indirectly attacked this incident before and found that her daughter-in-law and son didn't want to have a second child, so she never mentioned it again. It was only after she fell and was hospitalized some time ago that she found that one son was not good. The son had to work, to serve her, and to see her father-in-law and mother-in-law. It can be said that she was very busy.
At that time, her husband and I gave birth to such a son because of the policy. So now that the second child is open, Zhou's mother thought about it and wanted her son to have another one. Whether it is a son or a daughter, she would be able to be filial to her son when the child grew up, so as to save her son from such a difficult situation...
The family was having fun in the morning. After lunch, Huo Xuanxuan had to go to the piano class. Although the girl was only three years old, she liked listening to music. After listening to the piano for the first time, she showed an extraordinary interest in piano. Huo Xuanxuan is a kindergarten teacher. She had learned piano before, so she naturally supported her daughter's hobbies. She saw that her daughter liked her and was afraid of delaying her daughter, so she enrolled her daughter in a weekly piano class. In fact, it was only one hour a week, and the tuition fee of 300 yuan per hour. This alone is a large expense for the Zhou family.
Zhou's father sent Huo Xuanxuan and his granddaughter to a cram school and went to see his little girl playing the piano. Zhou Zekai, who stayed at home, naturally began to receive Zhou's mother's brainwashing.
Zhou Zekai, who was reading a book on the sofa, saw his mother suddenly sitting in front of him, and knew that what he should come would come. He sighed in his heart. He did not agree with the second child.
In fact, if it is a problem that raising children requires money, this is an easy thing for Zhou Zekai to solve. He has countless ways to make money to support his children. Not to mention a child, he can accept it.
The problem is obviously Huo Xuanxuan. Huo Xuanxuan was safe when she was pregnant, but when it was time to give birth, the mother and son died, which proves that Huo Xuanxuan is not suitable for having children. In other words, in order to prevent such a thing from happening, the best way is to not have a second child.
The wisher also said that he just wanted Huo Xuanxuan to live well and her daughter was healthy, but he didn't say that he would give birth to another child. Zhou Zekai never liked to use other people's lives to gamble.
A woman’s childbirth is a journey to the gate of hell. Huo Xuanxuan had already thrown her life inside. This time, she shouldn’t think about her second child or something.
"Akai, you see, Ai Ai is now three years old, don't you have any other plans with Xuanxuan?"
Zhou's mother summarized the language and planned to speak to her son. Young people nowadays don't like many children, but if they don't have children, what should they do if they are in retirement in the future? Do you really have to go to a nursing home?
"Plan? Oh, by the way, mom, Xuanxuan told me that her kindergarten is going to raise her salary. In addition, there are also weekends when they want to apply for a nursery for young children. At that time, Xuanxuan wants to go over and get a salary of 2,000 yuan a month..."
Zhou Zekai remembered what his wife said in the car. The kindergarten taught by Huo Xuanxuan is a private kindergarten with good conditions and facilities. Huo Xuanxuan not only has a certificate from a kindergarten teacher, but also can play the piano, sing and dance. She is very good in all aspects and is very patient with children. Therefore, her monthly salary is 5,000 yuan, which is already very good among kindergarten teachers.
Regarding the baby care facilities on weekends, it is actually a place to help take care of the children. It doesn’t take long, that is, one afternoon or two afternoons a week. This baby care facilities were proposed by parents in their kindergartens. After all, sometimes when parents are busy, they really cannot take good care of their children.
"Ah? You still run such a cram school? What should we do with Xuanxuan?" When Zhou's mother heard this, she didn't care about money. Instead, she was worried about her granddaughter's situation. She knew that her son was uneasy and could not take care of the children. The family was supported by Huo Xuanxuan. If Huo Xuanxuan went to work, who would take care of her granddaughter?
"Isn't this still me? I can take Xuanxuan with me then." Zhou Zekai said as expected. In fact, he really likes his daughter very much. Such a innocent and lovely daughter, when he thinks that she will be stupid because of a fever, Zhou Zekai feels uncomfortable.
"How can this be done? You can't even take good care of yourself, how can you take good care of Xuanxuan? This way, if your wife goes to work, I will go to your side and look at Xuanxuan for you. She is so old and I don't know how to plan well. If you go to work, Xuanxuan will be so scared..."
Zhou's mother was interrupted and she didn't care about urging her son to have a second child at this moment. Instead, she began to think about how to take care of her son. After all, if the daughter-in-law really had a salary plus a certain amount of child care, the family would be more affordable by then.
"Mom, I knew you were the best. Xuanxuan also likes you and dad the most. If you know you can see you every week, you will definitely be happy!"
In fact, at that time, Huo Xuanxuan also had such an opportunity, but she was not worried about her daughter. In addition, the wisher was busy with work and urging her to have a second child, so she naturally did not participate. Later, she resigned from kindergarten and became a housewife just to have a child...
Zhou Zekai, who knew all this, naturally did not allow this to happen.
"Nonsense, who do I love my granddaughter? I hope you, the useless dad?"
She looked at her son with contempt. Zhou's mother really felt that her son was not as good as her daughter-in-law. Her daughter-in-law managed everything in the family so well. She enjoyed it besides going to work, and it was a loss to her daughter-in-law.
"Mom, I'm your biological child at least, so there's no need to say that to me, right?"
Zhou Zekai smiled and joked, as long as he didn't talk about having a second child, he didn't want to have a second child anyway.
"Haha, you are your biological child, but you have not inherited my good genes." Zhou's mother continued to criticize. After criticizing, she remembered what she was going to come over. After thinking about it, she still spoke.
"Son, you really don't plan to have a second child? Now while Xuanxuan is still young, your father and I are still young, I can take care of your children for you. If your father and I grow old in the future, even if you want to have a child, we can't take care of you."
Unexpectedly, Zhou's mother spoke in the end. Zhou Zekai was speechless at first, and then replied.
"Mom, this child is not born at all. I think it's enough to have Ai Ai at home. Let's not talk about whether having a child has an impact on Ai Ai. Just talk about my current work situation, how can I have a second child? My company is very busy, and Xuanxuan has finally raised her salary. She will definitely be busy in the future. I really don't have time to have a second child..."
Zhou Zekai was very thoughtful and didn't understand why parents always like to urge marriage, fall in love, and have children.
It is impossible to choose a person when he is born into this world, but during the process of growing up, they have experienced many things and formed their own consciousness, so they should have their own choices instead of compromising for others.
I thought that I had been single in many worlds before, and having children really depends on my destiny. If I have destiny, I have it, but if I don’t have it, don’t force it.
"What does it mean to have no time? Don't fool me with Xuanxuan's work problem. You won't tell me. What else do you do except work all day long? Isn't Xuanxuan's family still doing the things at home? If Xuanxuan promises to have a second child, I will give her a salary. Can I give her 5,000 yuan a month? Besides, Akai, I was hospitalized some time ago, and you ran on both ends. Mom feels sorry. You will only have one child in the future. If she gets married and you get sick, she will be so tired from running on both ends. Will you feel good? If you have another child, you can also be with Ai Ai and share the future affairs with Ai Ai. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"
To put it bluntly, it is just to rely on retirement. The Chinese people’s view of offspring is that if I raise her, she must repay me and support me, or she must support me, or she will be ungrateful or unfilial.
For example, Zhou’s father and mother, who are ordinary parents, and some extreme parents even try to control their children for the rest of their lives, there is something like this. Many men have a strong sense of family awareness, so they often choose to compromise.
Zhou Zekai can understand this kind of compromise that does not want to make his parents sad, but if such compromise will hurt everyone, then such compromise is unnecessary.
"Mom, this is not the best of both worlds. I gave birth to Ai Ai, and I didn't expect her to support me in the future. I love her and let her come to this world. I want her to experience all the beautiful things in this world, but this is not the reason why I tied her up. If I retire in the future, I can earn more money to save, so I don't have to worry about Ai Ai. Xuanxuan will not agree with this matter. Mom, let me tell you the truth. Xuanxuan has been in poor health since she gave birth to Ai Ai. The doctor suggested that it would be best not to have another child, as this will affect Xuanxuan's health..."
When Zhou's mother heard her son's words, she was confused. Unexpectedly, she still had this time and didn't care about her second child. She asked quickly.
"When did it happen? Xuanxuan's health is not in trouble? Do you need to go to the hospital for a look?"
