Passerby's Guide to Eating Watermelons

Chapter 284: Age World 36: Birth

"Zhizhi is here!" Mother Gu seemed not to have heard Luo Qiuxin's words, and hurriedly greeted Zuo Zhizhi, "Tell me, child, why are you so polite every time you come here! And you buy so many things. It's better for you two to live a good life!"

However, Mother Gu went back to her room and took out the gifts she had prepared long ago. "You two are working so long now, don't think about us being free every day. You should enjoy yourself too!"

"I saw this at the mall a few days ago. It's perfect for young people like you. It's sure to look good on you!"

"Besides, it's inconvenient for you two to go to work every day. Here are the bicycle tickets your dad and I exchanged for. Having a bicycle will make traveling more convenient anyway!"

Mother Gu didn't understand what Zuo Zhizhi was saying at all. She just blurted out all the words and then put the things she had prepared long ago into Zuo Zhizhi's hands.

Zuo Zhizhi looked at Gu Jiqing for help, but he was also full of question marks at this time.

Things that both of them could use were naturally given to Zuo Zhizhi, but they each kept their own gifts.

Looking at the clothes in their hands, both of them were a little at a loss, and the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became stiff.

Luo Qiuxin also knew that this was a warning from Gu's mother. She had been back for such a long time, but she had not received any gifts at all.

But in front of me, he gave a lot of things to his younger brother and sister-in-law.

Although I know it's not their fault, I still vent my anger on them for no reason at all.

Luo Qiuxin is not the kind of person who is easily bullied. Besides, he originally wanted to establish a position here, and now he has made it clear.

"Brother, sister-in-law, you must keep these things well. After all, it's not easy to give you these things! I've been here for such a long time, but I haven't even received a piece of string, let alone a gift!"

Everyone was a little surprised to hear Luo Qiuxin's sarcastic words.

Only a few people dare to challenge their parents directly and say it to their faces at this time.

Even Gu Jilin, who was not very happy before, felt uncomfortable when he heard Luo Qiuxin say this.

After all, he had heard about what happened to his younger brother and sister-in-law before. No matter what, they were the ones who wronged others first, so it was only natural for his parents to give him some compensation now.

What's more, my mother has been complaining openly and secretly these two days. Although I have seen it, I can't solve it now. I originally thought of solving it after some time, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen.

But I didn’t expect Luo Qiuxin to take action at this time.

Gu Jilin's face was not very good. Even if he liked someone, it would not be easy if he let others lose face.

So he quickly pulled Luo Qiuxin aside and into the house. Although the people outside were a little embarrassed, they still left normally.

But on the way, Gu Jiqing couldn't help but shake his head: "I really didn't expect that my family would become like this now!"

Zuo Zhizhi didn't say much. After all, it was useless to say anything now. The four of them would definitely have to live together, and the conflicts among these people were impossible to resolve!

They are bound to have a quarrel, but it has nothing to do with me since they don’t live together anyway!

Now that I think about it, it’s actually pretty good to be separated. At least there aren’t so many troubles.

A few days later, when Zuo Zhizhi went to visit Gu's house again, she was warmly received by Gu's mother.

Although his attitude before was not bad, it is definitely a world of difference compared to now.

Perhaps it was because things smell better from afar than up close, or perhaps it was because of the comparison with Luo Qiuxin, a daughter-in-law she was not very satisfied with, but Mother Gu was very satisfied with Zuo Zhizhi.

Even now, people are much more enthusiastic when they come to visit.

In contrast, Luo Qiuxin's attitude was better than the last time they met. At least they were not making any fuss about each other.

Even if this smile only stays on the surface, as long as it is barely acceptable, it doesn't matter.

As a few people were chatting, the topic involuntarily turned to having children.

Luo Qiuxin did want to have a baby, but her health had been a little poor in the past two years and she was still recovering.

Besides, as the heroine, there is naturally no need to worry. She will definitely give birth later, maybe even twins!

But Zuo Zhizhi flatly refused. She just shook her head helplessly: "We have just started our work now. If we give birth now, there will be no one to take care of the baby. We are not familiar with everyone in the hospital, so it is better to wait two years!"

Zuo Zhizhi was telling the truth; they had indeed discussed this matter.

Although having many children brings good fortune is popular nowadays, there are different types of having many children and good fortune.

For example, if the woman is unemployed and wants to have a child at home, there will naturally not be so many problems.

After all, there are people at home, so there is a place to look after the child even after he is born.

But if both parties are working, even if there is a nursery in the factory, there will be no one to take care of the young children.

I don't feel safe if I entrust it to other people.

So this is what most people do in this era, but Zuo Zhizhi said she was worried, so there was nothing others could say.

Zuo Zhizhi and Gu Jiqing had already discussed it and decided to wait for two years.

By that time, both of them will have more years of work experience and know more people around them, so even if they have children, they will be able to find someone to help.

When the child is a little older, you can send him to the factory nursery and you don’t need to worry about him.

Although it will be very hard, it is simply unavoidable in this day and age.

Even though she missed the time when someone took care of her in her previous life, Zuo Zhizhi didn't dwell on it for too long.

There was no way to worry about it in the first place, because in this era if you don't get married and have children, there will probably be no future.

I can't just become a stepmother to someone else like my parents thought at the time!

Being a stepmother is difficult, especially in this day and age. If you do it well, it is a must, but if you do it poorly, it is considered vicious and your reputation will be ruined.

Therefore, she had already prepared herself mentally, and Zuo Zhizhi also planned to consider this matter in two years.

Fortunately, the two of them have the same goal, so there is no disagreement.

Zuo Zhizhi's parents were unable to induce labor, and their resentment grew even more intense.

After all, the second brother and his wife were very thoughtful, so they could bring the child over, but it was not possible for everyone to lend a hand.

But now they have separated, and it is impossible for me to leave here and live in my son's house.

As for the woman, it is not easy for someone else to take care of her for years.

Mother Gu could only sigh. This matter was difficult to handle no matter what. She had made a bad move at that time, but there was nothing she could do. She could only take it one step at a time.

But the resentment in their hearts could not be vented, and the conflict between the two of them became more and more serious.

Zuo Zhizhi saw their problems but was unable to solve them. She could only hide far away, hoping that the war would not affect her.
