Chapter 231: Children
It is said that children are the debt of their parents, and this is not true at all. Don't say anything else, just look at Yang Laohan, one person pulls these seven children to grow up, and no one knows the suffering in the middle except himself. The daughters have to worry about the in-laws' family, the dowry, it's better. It's not that simple for the son.
Nowadays, it's not like before, just one more bowl of water and a glass of rice to feed the children. No matter how poor you are, you have to let your children go to school, otherwise don't say that the culture is low and there is no level, that is, when you go on a blind date, the gap between your primary school graduation and high school graduation is huge! Brother Tao can't read, but the uncle still gritted his teeth and asked him to finish junior high school before he counted. Nowadays, unlike in later generations, the children go to school late, and they will be seventeen or eighteen years old after graduating from junior high school, and they will soon talk about their daughters-in-law again.
In the uncle's plan, Brother Tao followed him at home after graduation to farm and start a small business. After a few years, we will slowly see each other, and then get married and have children. The money for the family to build a house has been prepared, and when the time comes, the family has money, a new tiled house, and a junior high school graduate, and is still worried about not being able to marry a good daughter-in-law?
However, Brother Tao has a stupid brain and a clumsy mouth, so he is not business material at all. Usually the uncle looks at it coldly, he is not as smart as his youngest son who has just gone to school, and he can settle accounts. If people want to live like this, most of them are innate, Brother Tao is like this, even if he takes him with him every day to teach, he still can't get started at all, what can he do? It seems that this eldest son can only farm for a living in the future.
The youngest son is smart, and he may be able to read like his uncle in the future. The two daughters want to go to junior high school, and if they don't want to finish elementary school, they can go home, anyway, they are going to get married in the future, and they can prepare a dowry. Only this eldest son has a stupid brain, so he can only be more helpful when his parents help him and prepare him a little more, so that he can stand up and live on his own when the time comes.
Alas! The uncle took a sip of wine, thinking about the days to come. Now those who are crying and shouting that they are going to give birth, they don't know how stressful it is to be born! It's better to have a second family, and you have both children and daughters, so you don't have to worry about anything.
Who doesn't know that there are too many children, stress, and burden? Isn't it all about raising children to prevent old age, and there was a high rate of child death in the past, and it was easy to be unable to stand still? Besides, it was not so easy not to give birth at that time, there were not so many contraceptive measures, and the two of them would have it when they slept, so wouldn't they have to give birth if they had that?
Nowadays, people are really in the midst of blessings and do not know blessings. You must know that when he said that he was going to be sterilized, his cousin went without saying a word - they all have two sons and two daughters, and whoever wants to give birth will give birth! The second family also cried and cried, not because she wanted to give birth, but because she was afraid...... However, the current policy is a bit excessive, it doesn't matter as a parent, but what about families who have only one child and no son? My daughters are all from someone else's family!
This year's Chinese New Year, everyone's theme is family planning. If nothing else, there are too many things that have been caused by this policy this year, which can be described as both ups and downs. As a doctor in the village, Yang Xiaobei also participated in the follow-up health and examination work of some sterilized women, which are all things that happen around him, and there is more to say.
"It's still the best for the second child, both daughters are complete, and the eldest child can only pray to have a son!" Uncle said, he is really worried about the old man, you tell me what this is called! If you don't say anything else, the child will be alone in the future, and the parents will always leave, and there will be no one to discuss at that time, how pitiful!
Yang Xiaobei glared at his father, if you pray for a son, look at me...... I'll ignore you!
"Sons and daughters are all the same, they are all their own children, I don't care!" Although he is not married yet, it is clear that Yang Qitai has also seriously considered this issue. He really felt that it didn't matter, the fate of children was destined, as long as it was his own child, he would love her like a treasure.
That's pretty much it! Yang Xiaobei was satisfied. It's not right to turn around and think about it, even if the father is not patriarchal, the daughter he loves will not be himself, this weird feeling...... It's not so pleasant. I really want to eat jealousy!
"Brother is right! Men and women are equal, and boys and girls are the same! She couldn't explain the strange feeling in her heart. Especially...... At this time next year, there will already be another "her" according to normal, blue thin, shiitake mushrooms!
"You say the same is the same?" The second uncle's eyes widened, and he said, "It's all like you, and you ran to Puhai in one go, can it be the same?" It seems that he is still thinking about this matter, Yang Xiaobei stuck out his tongue and decisively stopped talking.
"Hey, forget it now, I'm afraid everyone thinks so, won't there be more male babies and fewer female babies in the future? Then the trouble will be big! "Old man Yang is old and fine, and everyone is still looking at the eyes, and he has already pointed to the sharp contradictions in the future. Because at the beginning, the government was not aware of the evil consequences of B ultrasound identification of babies, but there had already been a vicious incident of giving birth to a daughter who drowned.
Grandpa was right. But everyone is a flat-headed ordinary person, what can be done? Yang Qitai thought about whether to write an article and go to the newspaper to submit articles to remind the leaders to pay attention to this problem, Yang Xiaobei said, "Save it!" Family planning is a basic national policy, and if you publish such an article, you will be making a mistake in the line, so don't waste your efforts! ”
That being said, Yang Xiaobei was inspired. Today, family planning has just been tightened, and it will be decades before the ratio of men to women is completely out of balance in the future. In other words, now is the beginning of all wrongdoing.
Of course, she doesn't have that ability, and she uses the results of her "fantasy" to remind the regime, and she has no ability to change. But...... If we can make people aware of this consequence from the beginning and prevent fetal sex screening as much as possible from the source, will we be able to reduce the proportion of male and female imbalances as much as possible?
Don't look at a small move, it may save thousands of baby girls, and indirectly save how many single dogs? Taking advantage of the opportunity to pay New Year's greetings to the teacher, she asked the teacher to help investigate the data of the hospital, and according to the data of the perinatal census she usually does, she sorted out a document and sent it to a medical journal recommended by the teacher.
Yang Qitai also wrote a manuscript to submit to the newspaper. As Yang Xiaobei expected, he was beaten back mercilessly. However, Yang Xiaobei's manuscript is a serious medical investigation, and as a rural grassroots medical organization, the conclusions she has drawn through a year's observation are of great academic value.
Family planning is the largest and largest artificial intervention in human history, and it has always been very controversial in the medical, humanities, and sociological aspects. But the policy of the state is above all else, all arguments are predictions of the future, and people can only wait for the results. But now there is an investigation report from the most grassroots and the most simple so soon, which immediately attracted the attention of people with a heart.
Yang Xiaobei didn't think about what such a submission would bring to him. She is just out of an ordinary person, the redemption of some poor baby girls who have been deprived of coming into this world, and even more pitiful single people in later generations. In fact, the most important thing for human beings to do is to conform to nature, rather than forcibly change it by decree, which will definitely taste the bitter fruit.
