The year Lu Qingqing was born, family planning in rural areas became strict. Two years later, the strictness reached its peak. Those who gave birth to a son for the first time were not allowed to have a second child. However, if the first child was a girl, they could have another child. Both husband and wife were only children. Regardless of whether the first child is a boy or a girl, you can have another child, but a third child is absolutely not allowed.

If Lu's father and Lu's mother hadn't had the birth certificate for their second child, they would never have been able to give birth to Lu Chen, and they would have been punished and bankrupted their entire family.

If you have a baby that year, you will be fined 1000 yuan. Two years later, the fine will be 1 yuan.

In the early 90s, 1 yuan was the same as the price. At that time, an ordinary truck driver could only earn five yuan for pulling a brick.

The Family Planning Office would come to punish the couple for having too many children. If they had money, they would fine them. If they had no money, they would demolish the house. Then they would take away all the belongings. If there was none, they would arrest the couple. Some of them were even beaten inside.

Lu Qingqing has never witnessed it with her own eyes, but she has heard elders often mention it in gossip.

At that time, I don’t know how many pregnant women were taken to induce labor. Many pregnant women who gave birth to second and third children were hiding in Tibet. Many people tried every means to identify the gender of the fetus. The boy was kept and the girl was aborted. According to reports of stillborn fetuses floating around the curtains, It is a muddy pond, and some are like that of the grandparents. The first child is a girl, and the second child is still a girl. Either the second child is given away directly, or the girl is fostered with relatives, leaving the opportunity to others. Next child, until a boy is born. ?

The second mistress refers to Yue as the one who was fostered by her parents in her maternal uncle's house. She grew up in her uncle's house and only left the family when she got married. She is very close to her grandparents, uncles and aunts, but has a bad relationship with her parents and siblings.

During holidays, she always went back to her grandfather's house, and only occasionally returned to Ginkgo Village.

The second grandma understood her behavior very well. She always wanted to marry the child who raised her. "Your grandparents don't understand the importance of upbringing. Your aunt is often unfilial! Her brother got married this spring. I paid 1000 yuan to kowtow, but if I didn’t get a cent more, I would be kicked out by your grandparents. I’m afraid they won’t come to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival this year.”

Lu Qingqing said: "It's reasonable. Is there anything I don't understand?"

Generating kindness and cultivating kindness are both important, but cultivating kindness is cultivated by getting along day and night, which is far deeper than the feelings of kindness.

"There are so many things going on in the countryside!" Ma Lu said, "Second Aunt, what does Xing'er's family do about weddings? We are too far away from Mingzhu City, so getting married is more troublesome than when Yangyang got married."

"Yes, it takes more than seven hours for us to drive to Mingzhu City without traffic jams."

During the National Day Golden Week, it’s impossible to avoid traffic jams.

It’s really a traffic jam, but it’s not impossible to reach the destination in more than ten hours.

Lu Qingqing also frowned, "Second Grandma, when you come back, ask Xing'er what they plan to do at home. Should they be organized together or separately? Have one at our place, and Chenchen and Xing'er will have another one when they return to Mingzhu City. .”

"We definitely can't do it at the same time. It's too late to pick up the bride," the second grandmother said.

"There is a way," Fu Yisheng interjected, "We can use a helicopter, or I can ask someone to bring in a private jet."

After hearing this, Mother Lu waved her hands in fear: "No, no, don't think I don't know how much your private plane costs to take off. You don't use it very often. Chenchen is just getting married, there is no need to spend so much. We can't afford it. I think the cost of a helicopter is too expensive, let alone a private jet, no, no, don't mention it again!"
