"Stay in Sijiu City? That's not bad. We can meet often in the future." Shang's father said.

"Well, I guess I can't stay in the frontline combat unit. We'll see when the time comes. Let's not talk about this. Dad, I got some news. I'll tell you first. Don't tell anyone."

"Wait... Xiao Qi, do we need to let the children go out? Otherwise,..." He Daqing asked.

"Uncle, it's okay. It will basically be implemented after the Chinese New Year. It doesn't matter whether we say it or not. Many people already know about it now, and the leaders also want people to get used to it first. It's just that the bill policy will be implemented after the Chinese New Year!"

"The ticket policy... I heard Li Huaide talk about it. It is said that in the future, you will not only use money to buy things, but also need corresponding food coupons to buy food. You can buy as many kilograms of food coupons as you have."

"Where did the ticket come from?" He Daqing asked.

"The factory gives this stuff out when they pay their wages. Also, unemployed people with urban hukou can get it at the street office. As for rural ones... you already have land, why do you need food coupons?"

“What about rural residents living in cities?”

"No, uncle, your family doesn't have a rural household registration. Why are you asking this? Could it be that..."

"Haha... I'm not... Hi! Let me tell you straight, someone introduced me to a widow, she has a rural hukou, but her husband's family used to have an urban hukou. After her husband died, her job was inherited by her brother-in-law, and she was left with a daughter and only one room, which was still under the name of her brother-in-law. However, that family still had a conscience and did not kick her and her child out. Her husband's family still gave her some money every month, and she also took some odd jobs at the street office, so she could still make ends meet.

An auntie in our kitchen was her neighbor, so she introduced me to him. I thought he was a nice person, so I thought…”

The people in the room fell silent immediately. He Daqing said quickly, "I've made up my mind. From now on, my house will definitely be left to Zhuzi. As for the mother and daughter, I still have some savings. When Zhuzi finishes his apprenticeship, they will be able to get married. By then, I will go out and buy a house to settle them down."

Father Shang saw that this was a misunderstanding, and quickly said, "Brother-in-law, you misunderstood. We didn't say that we wouldn't let you remarry, and we didn't consider the house issue. If Zhuzi goes to my senior brother, he can solve the house issue. As for you... let me put it bluntly, my sister has been gone for so many years, you should find someone. You see, Yushui is taken care of by her aunt, and Bingqing will have to go to work after the New Year. Although Yushui and Xiaoliang are in school, there are still winter and summer vacations, and Bingqing can't let two children go to work every day. If you find someone, there will be someone to take care of Yushui, and we will feel more at ease when Xiaoliang is at home.

but……"

"But what? You tell me?"

Seeing that Shang's father was too embarrassed to speak, Shang's mother continued, "Let me tell you, brother-in-law. We are not satisfied with what you said, but we have also thought that it is not a good idea for you to be single. We can get rid of Widow Bai, but who knows, there may be another Widow Wang or Widow Zhang. We are still in this courtyard, so you have nothing to worry about. You can just abandon the child and run away. Zhuzi is okay, he has grown up, but what about Yushui?"

So we also want to introduce one to you, but we don't think too much. We have no objection to you finding a widow, but she must be childless, and at least she can't have a boy. Women understand women best, and women with children will worry about their children. If you find someone with children, will she be better for her own children or for Yu Shui?

The child's father is embarrassed to say that I, as a woman, have no worries, and I hope you, brother-in-law, understand. "

"I understand. I understand what you said. I understood it through the White Widow incident. So when I heard that the person being introduced was another widow with a child, I didn't want to meet her. But the aunt also said that the widow was not like the others. Although she was good to her children, she was also a reasonable person. Don't worry. I have also made inquiries this time. No one in her area has said a bad thing about them. Moreover, the neighbors would leave their children with her to help take care of them when they had something to do. I have also contacted her several times recently and told her about my situation. She also said that although she couldn't guarantee anything else, she would definitely not treat me differently. Besides, she has a girl, and she just hopes that her child's dowry will be the same as Yu Shui's.

She also told me... told me that we could have more children.”

Everyone thought it was okay. Shang's mother spoke up, "Brother-in-law, now that you put it that way, I think this person is okay. If she had said how good she was to our Yu Shui, I would have thought she had ulterior motives. The fact that she made her demands known shows that she is clear-headed. As for the dowry? As the child's stepfather, you should prepare it. But brother-in-law, you should make it clear to her that the dowry our family gives when Yu Shui gets married in the future cannot be counted together!"

"Of course. She has told you about this. After all, her child has no blood relationship with you. She also asked you to help with his studies. After all, this child has a miserable life." He Daqing hesitated for a moment and finally said what the widow said.

"Haha...Okay, we also hope that Yu Shui can live in an environment where he can study well." Shang's mother agreed directly.

No one of the younger generation spoke, after all, it was the elders' business and they couldn't just interrupt. But Yu Shui suddenly spoke up: "Dad, you haven't told me yet, will I have an older sister or a younger sister in the future?"

“Sister, that child is younger than you, he is only three years old this year.

Yushui, do you hope to have a mother and a sister in the future?" He Daqing asked anxiously.

"Well... if she's good to me, I hope so. After all, I have a younger sister. Yu Shui will be a sister in the future. I will definitely treat my younger sister as well as Sister Xue treats me!" Yu Shui said seriously.

Everyone in the room was amused by Yu Shui's words.

After laughing, Mr. Shang said to He Daqing: "Brother-in-law, the farm household registration you mentioned is actually very easy to handle. You can find someone to change her household registration to a city household registration before the New Year. It is easy to do now. After all, everyone has relatives like you, and those who have heard the news have already started the process.

By the way, which subdistrict office does she belong to now? It's best to deal with her subdistrict office. I don't trust Director Wang of our subdistrict office. Although the initial review was not a big deal, after all, she didn't get promoted because of my family. We are in this relationship, so I'm afraid she will trip you up. After all, you have to be on guard against others!"

"Yeah, that's what I thought too. I'll find someone to transfer her household registration tomorrow and try to get the certificate before the New Year!"
