Chapter 574 The Future of Children

Gu Lixia glanced at Zhao Sixiang. Since they didn't have close contact, she didn't really know these people very well. "It's not like you delayed her."

"Oh, I thought that Old Lu sent so much money back home. If he didn't use it to marry off his nephews, he could have spent the money on sending the children to school. I guess each of them would have at least graduated from elementary school. Unlike now, all the girls are illiterate." Zhao Sixiang was thankful that Lu Changzheng brought her and the children out.

"You're right. The problem is that people in my hometown don't send their daughters to school. You can't take all these girls here to raise them." Gu Lixia wanted to see what the couple was planning.

Zhao Sixiang shook her head. "That's definitely not the case. Yumei found out about me sending Hongmei to take the exam, so she wrote back to her hometown. They suggested sending boys here to study and find jobs, but Old Lu refused. However, they agreed to marry his niece here in the future. There are still 16 unmarried nieces and nephews back home. They'll be sent here when they turn 18."

"I can't control the Lu family's affairs, and I have no right to do so. Old Lu can make his own decisions. Yumei and Hongmei are here to eat and drink because our children are still young. In a few years, they won't be able to enjoy the food."

"These are just jobs for my nieces and nephews. My hometown also used my old man Lu's name to find jobs for five of them. Now that they can't find jobs for others, they plan to send them to us. However, Old Lu knows the level of his nephews and asked them to go back to school."

"It's the same for the other nephews and nieces back home. Old Lu explained our recruitment requirements and let them make their own decisions. Old Lu will just give them a chance to take the exam when the time comes."

"Old Lu wouldn't make a mistake. He's been educated by the Party for years. Even now, when I look at the words in a book with my son Damao at home, he would sigh and say that if Damao and his brothers hadn't been there when I went to the literacy class, I would have learned something."

"I lived in the countryside for the first half of my life. Later, when Lao Lu became the deputy company commander, he said I could join the army. I went to the base and transferred my household registration. I felt a surge of hope in my heart, praying every day that my children would stay in the city. Fortunately, it hasn't been our family's turn to go to the countryside yet."

"But I heard that other places are still doing this thing of going to the countryside, and our hometown is still accepting educated youth, and I don't know when it will end." Zhao Sixiang straightened up and glanced at Gu Lixia who was turning over the dates.

"I don't know either. We just wait for the notice and let our children study hard, go to college, become scientists, sailors, or doctors in the future. At worst, they can come back to help their father run errands. They have to study anyway." Gu Lixia knew it but couldn't say it.

"Yes, my eldest and second sons want to be soldiers, Sanmao wants to sing, and Simao is still young. In the blink of an eye, the children have all grown up." I don't know whether those children who were not raised have been reincarnated. They are not blessed.

Zhao Sixiang's first child was Jinmenxi, a boy, who was born without crying and died within two hours.

The following year, at the age of 16, she became pregnant with her second child, but she fell and died before the birth. The gender of the child is unknown.

The third child was conceived in the summer when I was 17 years old. I gave birth to a girl, but she died after 2 months because she had a fever after waking up from a sleep.
