Chapter 398: Officially Lifting Birth Restrictions
However, Xu Damao, who had gained a great advantage, did not get angry with him. Instead, he smiled and pretended that he knew nothing, and thanked him with a smile.
This really disgusted Yan Bugui.
"Uncle Yan, when I was sending Teacher Ran home from get off work just now, I had a meal on the way.
We talked about a lot of things under the sun and we really got along well.

Thank you Uncle Yan for finding me such a partner."

The more Xu Damao thanked him, the more Yan Bugui felt that he had been fooled, because he could no longer utter the dirty words he had been preparing for a long time.

He was so depressed that his face turned pale and blue, and finally he gritted his teeth and said,
"Okay, as long as you two are satisfied."

Then he turned around and went home angrily.

When Aunt Yan saw her old man coming back angrily, she asked curiously,

"Didn't you say you would teach Xu Damao a lesson when he came back? It looks like you are the one who is really pissed off."

"Hmph, don't hit someone who smiles.

No matter what he thought, Xu Damao thanked me verbally, and I couldn't hit him or even scold him.

Otherwise, the neighbors would definitely come and bully me, saying that I am petty and nitpicking with a junior."

"Humph, he's just bullying you because you're a cultured person with dignity. If it were Liu Haizhong, he would definitely teach him a lesson first and wouldn't care so much."

"So Lao Liu is just a reckless man!"

As Yan Jiecheng's wedding date draws closer, Xu Damao and Teacher Ran are getting along very well, and the city of Beiping is seeing more and more people coming to report the good news to the big leader.

Not long after, three large flags were erected and the slogan "strength in numbers" was shouted.

That day, He Yuzhu was blocked at the entrance of the courtyard by Jia Zhang just as he was returning home from get off work.
Then I heard her ask impatiently,

"Zhu Zi, I heard from the neighbors that the government is shouting the slogan that there is strength in numbers, which means they want to relax birth control restrictions and allow ordinary people to have more children.

You often come into contact with those big leaders above you. Is what the neighbors say true?"

Seeing Jia Zhang's impatient look, He Yuzhu could understand her thoughts to some extent.

After all, the Jia family has been a single-line family for generations, and Jia Zhang dreams of having Jia Dongxu give birth to two more children to expand their Jia family.

Now that there is finally hope, he will naturally take the initiative to inquire about the news, and He Yuzhu is undoubtedly the most well-informed person in the courtyard.

To He Yuzhu, this was not a big deal. Everyone would know about it in a few days, so there was no need to hide it.
"That's what happened, Aunt Zhang.

At the meeting two days ago, the top leader did mention that there is strength in numbers and that we should have more children.

However, there is no official document yet. You have to keep an eye on Jia Dongxu and his wife. Don't make any mistakes at this critical moment.

Everything is based on the above documents, otherwise losing your job is the least you can do.

If I lose my job and the document is officially released, it will be a waste of time, right? "

Seeing that He Yuzhu admitted his statement in disguise, it was just that there was no official document yet, so it was not announced to all the people.
Jia Zhang suddenly felt that her life had meaning again, and her face was as smiling as a chrysanthemum.

"Don't worry, Zhuzi. Aunt Zhang knows what's going on and will take good care of Dongxu."

"Okay, Aunt Zhang, just make your own preparations. I estimate that the official documents will be issued in a few days."

Seeing that He Yuzhu had said something wrong, Jia Zhangshi rarely scolded him, but just corrected him slightly.
"You kid, what do you mean by I'm ready? Our Dongxu and Qin Huairu should be ready. I'm 50 this year, what else can I prepare for?"

"It's just a slip of the tongue. Aunt Zhang, if you have nothing else to do, I'll go back first."

"Okay, you go back, I'll wait for Dongxu and the others here.
By the way, you should talk to Xiao'e about this. Look at your father, he has three children, but you only have He Ying. It's ridiculous. Why don't you have more children with Xiao'e?"

"Okay, I'll tell Xiao'e when I get back."

After letting Jia Zhang pass and pushing his bicycle back home, he saw that Lou Xiao'e was not waiting at the deaf old lady's backyard as usual, but was waiting at home.

I asked out of curiosity,

"Didn't you go to the old lady today?"

"No, it's been rumored that the government is going to relax birth restrictions and allow more children.
The old lady asked me to come back early to ask you if this is the case. "

Hearing that it was the deaf old lady who said this, He Yuzhu didn't think much about it and just nodded with a smile.

"I just met Aunt Zhang at the door. She was also asking about this. It is true, but the application has not been approved yet. We have to wait a little longer.

Besides, He Ying is just over two years old, so there is no need to rush. "

After more than three years of marriage, Lou Xiao'e didn't care so much. When she heard He Yuzhu say there was no rush, she immediately became unhappy.

"That won't work. Although sanitary conditions have improved a lot in recent years and children are not dying so easily,
But we only have one child, He Ying, so we are not safe.

Besides, ever since we talked about brothers and sisters a while ago, the child has been clamoring for brothers and sisters. Now that we can have them in the future, other people’s are no match for our own.”

He Yuzhu had no way of refuting Lou Xiao'e's words, so he smiled and agreed.
"Okay, I'll find a way to get some meat back. Eat more good food during this period, and I'll nourish you well."

“No need for pillars,
I wanted to say this a while ago, you should go to the black market less often in the future. If you are caught by the joint defense team, you will definitely be criticized.
I will take He Ying back to my mother's house tomorrow and ask my father for some meat tickets."

He Yuzhu's meat was all stock in the space, and he had never been to the black market. Hearing that Lou Xiao'e had misunderstood his meaning, he had no way to explain.
I could only smile bitterly and say,

"Okay, then you can take He Ying back to find your father-in-law and mother-in-law.

It just so happens that the children haven’t been home for a while, and the old couple must miss them very much, so it would be nice for them to go back and take a look.”

As the news continued to ferment, the news of lifting birth restrictions soon spread throughout the city of Beiping. Coupled with the support of the top leaders, the people in the city soon became restless.

Following the first baby boom from 1949 to 1954, the second baby boom officially arrived.

Xu Fugui and his wife returned to the Siheyuan again because of the relaxation of birth restrictions.

The purpose is naturally for his son's marriage.

Just after dinner, Yi Zhonghai, He Daqing and others called a meeting of all the neighbors in the courtyard to discuss the wedding of Yan Jiecheng and Xu Damao.

But just as Yi Zhonghai started, Yan Bugui took the lead to stand up and attack Xu Fugui.
