Chapter 478 Grandma is always grandma, she can't replace parents
In late December 78, the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee was held in Kyoto, at which the strategic decision to implement reform and opening up was made.
After the meeting, the Jiangcheng Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government actively carried out pilot projects and explorations in urban reform.
It was decided to expand the autonomy of enterprises, implement the "profit package and excess sharing" responsibility system, promote the piece-rate wage system, gradually open up collective markets, and restore and develop individual economy and other measures.
However, due to the influence of the highly centralized economic system formed in history, many units are not separated from the government and enterprises, and are fragmented, making it difficult to implement these good policies. The road to reform is still long and arduous...
January 79, 1 was New Year’s Eve.
Zhou Qingping and Zhong Jiawen brought the 2-year-old Zhong Qiaoen back to spend the New Year with Zhou Rong.
The unit was not busy, so at Zhou Qingping's invitation, Zhong Xunci and Qiao Dongjing also returned to Jiangcheng.
In August 78, Liang Jingyi gave birth to twin sons, named Zhou Jipeng and Zhou Jifei. As Zhou Qing'an had to go out on a mission, it was inconvenient for her to take care of two children alone, so she did not come back for the Chinese New Year this year.
Zhou Rong sent Liang Jingyi some preserved foods, milk powder and children's clothes, and also took pictures of Zhou Xinxin's daily cute actions and sent them to her.
Liang Jingyi was very happy to see her mother-in-law was so thoughtful and took good care of the child. She sent Zhou Rong 200 yuan and some special products from the north...
Zhou Xinxin sighed while eating the red dates her mother sent her.
Seeing her like this, Zhou Jifan came over and asked, "It's New Year's Day, why are you unhappy?"
Zhou Xinxin: "I miss my parents."
Zhou Jifan: "They are busy with work, they will come to see you when they are done."
Zhou Xinxin: "When will they be done? I haven't seen them for a long time. Do they not want me anymore?"
Zhou Rong, who had taken half a day off to prepare the New Year's dinner, heard what Zhou Xinxin said and said, "Your parents love you the most. They are on a mission and it is not convenient for them to come back. After the New Year, I will take you to see them."
Zhou Xinxin: "Really? Thank you grandma!"
Zhou Rong: "If you really want to thank me, come and help me pick the vegetables."
Zhou Xinxin: “Okay!”
Xue Wanyi is still living in Zhou Rong's home, helping to take care of the children and do housework.
With her around, Chen Zhan Ning and Nini feel much more relaxed and can focus their main energy on work without worrying about the children.
During the New Year's Eve dinner, Xue Wanyi and Qiao Dongjing gave each of the children a red envelope of 10 yuan.
After being cheated many times, Zhou Xinxin has deeply realized the importance of money.
Seeing that the red envelope contained 10 yuan, she quickly returned the red envelope to Xue Wanyi and Qiao Dongjing, and said obediently: "Grandma, Grandma Qiao, I am not yet grown up, and I can't accept so many red envelopes. You keep this money and buy some delicious food. I wish you a long life and all your wishes come true."
Qiao Dongjing rubbed Zhou Xinxin's head with admiration and said with a smile: "Xinxin is really sensible. This is given to you by grandma. Just keep it."
Seeing that Qiao Dongjing didn't guess what Zhou Xinxin meant, Zhou Jifan whispered in her ear, "Grandma, grandma has set a rule for us that red envelopes over 5 cents must be handed in. It's useless for you to give me 10 yuan. Xinxin and I can't get a penny.
If you really want to give us money, just give us 5 cents today, and another 5 cents tomorrow. Before you go back, give us 5 cents every day, and then the money will fall into our hands. "
Qiao Dongjing: “…”
Not wanting her children to develop bad habits, Qiao Dongjing gave her two children 5 cents and stopped giving them money.
Zhou Jifan didn't ask her for more money. The 5 cents was enough for him and his friends to go shopping...
After the New Year's Eve dinner, Chen Zhan Ning took a few children to play with firecrackers in the yard, while the others were making dumplings in the living room.
Zhou Rong said to Zhou Qingping: "When you return to work on the eighth day of the new year, take Ji Fan with you."
Zhou Qingping asked carefully: "Did the child bother you?"
Zhou Rong: "No, he and Xinxin are very well behaved and help with housework every day. I like them very much, but children need the company of their parents to grow up healthily and happily. No matter how good I am to them, I can't replace the roles of you and Jiawen.
Bring Ji Fan with you, let him feel the love from his parents. If you are too busy, ask someone to take care of him, and I will pay for it. "
From Zhou Xinxin's words, Zhou Rong realized that grandma is always grandma and can never replace parents.
There is no child who is not attached to his parents and longs for their company. She cannot let the child's childhood be incomplete because of her own selfishness.
Loneliness is the norm in life, she should accept and adapt to it...
Zhou Qingping only sees his son once a year, and he actually misses Zhou Jifan very much, but he is also worried that Zhou Rong will be too lonely.
"Mom, Ji Fan has learned a lot of skills from you, which Jiawen and I can't compare with. How about letting him stay for a few more years?"
Zhou Rong: "Children only have a few years to grow up. If you don't cultivate feelings with him, when he grows up, he may not need it anymore, and it will be too late for you to regret it.
I know what you are worried about. Don't think too much. I am fine. Nini and the others are with me!"
Nini: "That's right! I will stay at home and accompany my mother forever!"
Zhou Qingping: "Mom will rely on you to take care of her from now on, thank you."
Nini: "She is my mother, it is my duty to take care of her. You and your second brother can go and win glory for our country, I am at home."
Zhou Qingping: "Okay."
Qiao Dongjing has always been thinking about Zhou Jifan. Now that the child can be back with her, she is very happy and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work in the past few years and for teaching Jifan so well. When he returns with us, I will ask him to write to you every week."
Zhou Rong joked, "Ji Fan is good at everything except writing. If you ask him to write a letter every week, he will probably be scared. Just do as you like. I don't want to be known as a 'vicious grandmother'."
Zhong Jiawen: "We won't put the blame on you. He's about to go to primary school, so he needs to keep up with his academic studies. When I get back, I'll urge him to learn to read, and writing letters will be his homework. He needs to write at least two letters a month."
Nini: "My mom taught him to recognize a lot of words. He knows a lot of them, but he just can't write them. After all, he is only five years old. Don't push him too hard."
Zhong Jiawen: "As the successor of our motherland, you have inherited the genes of me and your elder brother, so you must pay more than others to inherit our cause.
When I was his age, my father forced me to learn to read, write, and do math every day. Although life was hard, looking back now, I was able to skip a few grades a year, graduate earlier than others, and make a small contribution to the country, all thanks to my perseverance at that time. "
Zhong Xunci: "Children should really focus on studying so that they can learn more knowledge in a limited time."
Nini did not respond. Zhou Jifan was not her child, so she could not interfere too much. She just wanted to say that she did not know whether it was good or bad for Zhou Jifan to be born in an educated family...
