"Should I pay you back what I owe you?" Qiao Dongliang sneered: "Who mentioned having a second child and a son in the first place?"
At the beginning, Lao Mingming said that he was too lonely with only one child at home and wanted to have a second child. Because of the conflict with family planning, Lao Ding said that he wanted to have another child. His career future was not as important as having a child.
Qiao Dongliang does not deny that he is a traditional Chinese man and feels that only having a son can continue the family line, but he does not force it.
Later, after listening to his wife's suggestion, he was also moved, or in a moment of confusion, he lost his job and future in order to have a son.
What Qiao Dongliang regrets is not having a little daughter like Qiao Nan. What he regrets is that he should not have sacrificed everything just to have a son.
If not for this, the wife would not have blamed Nan Nan for not giving birth to a son and not having a job.
"Old Ding, just because I don't talk about some things doesn't mean I don't know. You should know what your Ding family is like and how you grew up. Are you ready to let Nan Nan suffer the same suffering you have experienced? ? Is it Nannan who owes you, or you owe Nannan."
Ding Jiayi has lived in a family that values boys over girls since she was a child. The reason why the old cadre who was an old friend of Qiao's father introduced Ding Jiayi to Qiao Dongliang was to find a way out for both of them.
Qiao Dongliang's biological father and mother are gone, and he is almost no longer a relative.
It is difficult for people like this to find a wife.
It happened that when he was in the army, Qiao Dongliang was just a platoon leader, only a little better than ordinary soldiers, and his future was not obvious, so he couldn't find a suitable partner. If he was not good enough, people would look down on Qiao Dongliang. .
As a result, Qiao Dongliang's choice of wife becomes even more embarrassing and difficult to find.
As for Ding Jiayi, the living conditions of the Ding family are not bad, but Ding Jiayi has three younger brothers.
Ding's father and Ding's mother planned to marry their three sons in a smooth manner and have a house. After all, the family's money was not enough.
Therefore, Father Ding and Mother Ding set their sights on their eldest daughter, Ding Jiayi.
The three younger brothers were all brought up by Ding Jiayi. Even so, Ding Jiayi's status in the Ding family is like that of a maid in the Ding family. She works the most and eats the least, so she still has to be scolded.
Ding Jiayi is also smart. When her eldest brother is learning knowledge, she takes the opportunity to take care of him and always reads his books.
Sometimes, Ding Jiayi can teach the eldest brother in school a question that he doesn't understand.
That's it. Ding Jiayi stumbled and intermittently taught herself to the elementary school level. At least she recognized a lot of Chinese characters.
In Ding Jiayi's era, she was considered to have a high level of education.
When Ding Jiayi grew up, Father Ding and Mother Ding did not want to keep their eldest daughter at home so that all the money they earned from work could be taken home.
Ding's father and Ding's mother's idea was to find a "good family", ask them for more money as gifts, and then marry off their eldest daughter as soon as possible.
At that time, Ding's father and Ding's mother not only found a family, but also discussed the bride price. They said they were marrying off their daughter. In fact, many people understood that this was basically selling their daughter.
The man Ding Jiayi is marrying is short and in his late forties, a bit older than Ding's father.
But the problem is, after that red era, this man is noisy, a pioneer, has a good background, and has a little power.
Father Ding had found an official son-in-law.
The man was old and ugly, but the worst part was that he had a bad temper. No one could tell how the missing wife died.
When Ding Jiayi heard that she was going to marry such a person, she was so frightened that she didn't want to die.
This matter spread from left to right and reached the ears of veteran cadres. When the veteran cadres figured it out, their old friend’s son was serving as a soldier in the army. However, the old friend was framed. On the surface, he seemed to have a bad background, and he had no other relatives at home. , I am worried that it is difficult to find a wife.
This girl looks good, and she is literate, but her mother's family is not very reliable. If the two of them are willing, they can make do with it.
The veteran cadre didn't want to mess up the relationship, so he explained the situation to each other and let Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi decide whether it was possible or not.
When Ding Jiayi heard about Qiao Dongliang's situation, she nodded immediately.
At that time, there was no job like being a soldier.
No elders in the family? Well, if she gets married, she will be in charge of the family. She will have two less elders to take care of her and two less people to serve.
If there are no brothers, there will be no brothers. As long as one's own man strives for success, he is better than anything else.
Ding Jiayi agreed quickly, but Qiao Dongliang hesitated a little, but finally agreed. The two got married and started a family.
Relying on Qiao Dongliang's relationship, Ding Jiayi, with the help of veteran cadres, not only got married and had a new life, but also got a good and decent new job. Her life was a qualitative leap.
At that time, Ding Jiayi felt that marrying Qiao Dongliang was the best decision she made in her life.
The Ding family has a strong preference for sons over daughters. Ding Jiayi has been a nanny since she was a child. She raised her three younger brothers one by one, and they were always at home and abroad.
After having her eldest daughter, Ding Jiayi was not disappointed for a long time and became very good to her, as if she wanted to make up for the happy childhood she had missed with her eldest daughter.
She is also a daughter, and when it is Qiao Nan's turn, her treatment is as good as heaven and earth.
"It was you who said you didn't have to work in order to have a second child. It was you who forced me to have this second child. For this reason, I left my favorite army. Old Ding, for this child, I have made a greater sacrifice than you. . Nan Nan is not a son but a daughter. Who is to blame? Can you blame her? You are not doing well, so you still have the nerve to rely on your daughter?!"
Speaking of the latter, Qiao Dongliang couldn't help but become angry.
With his eldest daughter, Qiao Dongliang finally figured it out and told his son that daughters are just as good, and that he really likes life in the army and being a soldier. His father always said that he was born to be a soldier.
Even in order to continue to stay in the army, Qiao Dongliang had already figured out that it would be better to raise his daughter honestly.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Dongliang stopped thinking, and Ding Jiayi began to make troubles for her son.
"You blame me now?!" Ding Jiayi was like a hedgehog, with all the quills on her body standing on end: "Who said that sons and daughters are as good as each other? Why don't you blame me for making your Qiao family extinct and become a desolate family? Account. Old Qiao, your thinking is so backward!"
What Ding Jiayi couldn't bear to hear the most was that her stomach was not what she expected. Just because she gave birth to two daughters, both of them lost their jobs.
For this matter, Ding's mother once came to see her daughter who was married far away. She hugged her grandson and scolded Ding Jiayi for her lack of conscience, so God opened her eyes and prevented her from giving birth to a son.
