Chapter 125 Do you regret it now?
In late November, Feng Qiaolan gave birth to a daughter safely in the hospital.
When Yang Jinlin learned that it was a daughter, he just glanced at her indifferently and had no other reaction.
When the nurse asked Yang Jinlin to hold the baby, he refused and gestured to Mrs. Fang who had rushed to the hospital to hold the baby.
When Feng Qiaolan was pregnant, her belly was pointed. Mrs. Fang thought that this baby would be her eldest grandson. After receiving the notification, she and Yang Kaiyun came to the hospital early to wait. As a result, the nurse brought out a granddaughter.
She did not hide her lost expression at all, and kept asking the nurse if the baby was the wrong one, because her daughter-in-law was clearly pregnant with a grandson and it was impossible for her to give birth to a granddaughter.
Although Yang Kaiyun didn't say anything, his gloomy face revealed his disappointment and dislike for his granddaughter.
The nurse said, "Your daughter-in-law is the only one in the delivery room today. You can't take the wrong baby. It doesn't matter if you have a boy or a girl. They are both members of your family. Don't favor boys over girls."
Granny Fang said unhappily, "That's easy to say. My family doesn't lack granddaughters, only grandsons. How can a money-loser compare to a grandson?"
Li Guizhi was worried that her daughter would be bullied by the Yang family in the hospital, or that when the question of whether to save the adult or the child came up, the Yang family would choose to save the child, regardless of her daughter's life or death, so she came to the hospital today.
Seeing Yang Jinlin, Fang Pozi and Yang Kaiyun's attitude, Li Guizhi snatched the child with a dark face and said coldly: "Yang Jinlin is a cadre. If it is reported that he and his family have the idea of favoring boys over girls, this cadre should not be employed. He will be reported sooner or later!"
Yang Jinlin was startled, and quickly comforted her, "Mom, you misunderstood. We don't favor boys over girls. As long as it's Qiaolan's child, I like them regardless of whether they are boys or girls.
My mother is used to using foul language in the countryside, and she has no other intentions. We will take this child very seriously."
Mother Fang also reacted and smiled awkwardly: "Mother-in-law, please don't bother with a country woman like me. As long as they are from the Yang family, we like them."
Feng Qiaolan was lying on the hospital bed, watching the reactions of her husband and mother-in-law. It would be a lie to say she was not disappointed.
She said weakly: "Jinlin, give the child a name."
Yang Jinlin's list of names were all for boys, and there was no suitable name for a girl. He also had no name for a girl, so he said, "Let's call her Si Ni first. When she grows up, we can give her a formal name."
Feng Qiaolan consoled herself by saying, "Si Ni is a nice name. The child will definitely like it."
Yang Jinlin didn't want to stay in the hospital for long, so he said he had something to do at work and left.
If Feng Qiaolan had given birth to a grandson, Mother Fang would have planned to take care of her for a few days. But now that she had given birth to a granddaughter, she had to look at Li Guizhi's face all the time. So she made the excuse that she had unfinished work at home and ran away with Yang Kaiyun.
After the three of them left, Li Guizhi sighed heavily and asked Feng Qiaolan: "Do you regret it now?"
Feng Qiaolan pretended to be confused and asked, "What do you regret?"
Li Guizhi: "With a man like this and an in-law family like this, do you still think that your choice is right?"
Feng Qiaolan looked at the ceiling and said with empty eyes: "It doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong. The child is born. Even for the sake of the child, this family cannot be broken up. After all, they are our own flesh and blood. I believe Jinlin will treat the child well."
Li Guizhi really wanted to say, you are daydreaming.
But when he saw that his daughter was in a bad mood and had just given birth to a child, he immediately changed his words.
"Given your mother-in-law's behavior, she will definitely not take care of you during the confinement period. I don't trust her to take care of you. After you are discharged from the hospital, I will take care of you during the confinement period."
Feng Qiaolan: "Thank you, Mom."
In early December, the municipal government published policies on public-private partnerships in newspapers.
In fact, as early as September, the State Council passed the "Interim Regulations on State-Private Joint Venture Industrial Enterprises".
The regulations stipulate that the implementation of public-private partnership in capitalist enterprises should be carried out in batches based on the needs of the country, the possibility of enterprise transformation and the wishes of the capitalists.
Also in September, the State Council passed the "Order on the Planned Purchase and Planned Supply of Cotton Cloth", stipulating that cloth coupons would be used nationwide starting from September 9.
Because Jiangcheng was still struggling with floods at the time and had the arduous task of resuming work, production and business after the disaster, the above two policies were only published in newspapers but not actually implemented.
Now that the floodwaters have receded and post-disaster work has been successfully completed, the government will focus its main attention on public-private partnership policies.
The municipal trade union called on employees of private industry and commerce to encourage capitalists to apply for joint ventures and put forward the slogan of "improving production and welcoming public-private partnerships."
Banners reading “National economic development should be the main focus, with the development of individual enterprises as a supplement” can be seen everywhere.
Xu Man called Zhou Rong to his office, pointed to an article about public-private partnerships in the newspaper, and asked, "What do you think is the underlying meaning of the government's move? Is it aimed at large private enterprises, or do small shops like us also need to participate?"
Zhou Rong closed the office door and whispered, "Our social system is different from that of Western countries. Narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor, achieving common prosperity, and eliminating private ownership have always been the leaders' wishes.
You are a capitalist. Based on this, do you think your two stores can be avoided?"
Xu Man was thoughtful: "The government launched several campaigns in the past few years. We were all very nervous, fearing that all our assets would be confiscated. Fortunately, we were safe. I thought this situation would continue, but judging from the current situation, I'm afraid it won't work."
Zhou Rong: "The grain and oil market has been taken over by the government, and cotton cloth has also begun to be purchased and sold in a unified manner. People buy cloth with coupons. It is only a matter of time before your shop is taken over by the government. You might as well take the initiative to cooperate and gain a good reputation.
The government wants to promote the policy of public-private partnership, and there will be some resistance in the early stages. If you actively cooperate, you may be promoted as a role model by the government, and you may get a commendation, and there will definitely be no problem.
The recognition from the government will be beneficial to the future of you and your two children."
Xu Man asked jokingly: "Did you receive a mission to be a lobbyist?"
Zhou Rong: "People from the subdistrict office did come to me and asked me to persuade them to push for the new policy, but what I said to you had nothing to do with the people from the subdistrict office. I was just speaking from a friend's perspective. I hope you and your two children are safe and sound.
You are so smart. Based on the situation in the past few years, you should be able to figure out some of the behaviors of the top leaders. There will be many movements like the Three Antis and Five Antis in the future.
If you have a commendation from the government, it will be like having an extra talisman, which is always beneficial."
Xu Man: "I understand what you said, but these two shops are my dowry and my spiritual sustenance. If I hand them over, I don't know what I can do in the future. Let me think about it."
"Okay, I heard that your eldest brother went abroad. Why didn't you go with him? If you had gone abroad, maybe you wouldn't have to be so cautious."
Zhou Rong asked curiously.
In her subconscious, Xu Man was rich and independent, and if she ran away, there would be no troubles later...
