Chapter 268 Can You Do It?

The small factory is still the same, with no new additions.

Not only were Zhang Shouchun, Jin Yuqing, and Qin Huairu anxious, but even the godmother Wang Shuqin could not stay in the countryside. After the spring ploughing, she asked someone to send her to the small factory to personally watch over Wang Deming and demanded that he must complete the task of carrying on the family line this year.
This is also one of the reasons why Wang Deming is willing to work overtime passively, and the main reason.

As soon as Wang Deming got home from get off work, the old lady would talk to him tirelessly from the moment they had dinner until bedtime.

But as Wang Deming had the memories of his past life, the closer he got to the time nodes 57 and 60, the more uncertain he felt, and he couldn't say it directly.

Even if he said it, not everyone would believe it.

This is just like in the past life, when the economy is booming and everyone is making money, if you tell others that the economic environment may go downhill in the future, others will just think you are trying to attract attention.

Wang Deming looked at the gate of his own house, sighed silently, and laughed at himself. Is this a happy trouble? In the past two years, Zhang Shouchun's three daughters have been so charming and soft, trying every means to squeeze him dry.
Unfortunately, they are facing a versatile person who has integrated Chinese and Western medicine. When it comes to physiological and hygiene knowledge, Wang Deming can proudly pat his chest: there is no one in the world who is more comprehensive than him.

Isn’t simple contraception a piece of cake?
At the same time, Wang Deming is also glad that this is an era when knowledge is not widely disseminated. Women who cannot get pregnant should look for the reasons within themselves.
As soon as he entered the courtyard with the Phoenix carriage, Lao Zhao immediately raised his voice: "Son-in-law, are you back from get off work?"

Lao Zhao's voice was like the opening of a drama.

Godmother Wang Shuqin came out of the kitchen with a dark bowl of medicine made of unknown ingredients. She walked towards Wang Deming while blowing the hot air and complained, "Why did you get off work so late again today?"

"I have heated this bowl of medicine several times. Drink it while it's hot."

“No leftovers!”

Wang Deming felt a little nauseous when he smelled the smell. If it was just purely bitter, it would be fine, but why did it also have a terribly fishy smell?

He decisively refused: "Mom, you know I'm a Chinese medicine doctor, and a good one at that."

"You are a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, how come you still don't have a child?" Wang Shuqin was completely unconvinced of Wang Deming's level of traditional Chinese medicine. "I asked you to go see two national masters, Kong Bohua and Shi Jinmo, but you refused!"

Wang Shuqin put the dark medicine directly to Wang Deming's lips and said mysteriously, "This is the prescription I asked for from the old Taoist priest at the Dongyue Great Emperor Temple outside Chaoyang Gate today. It guarantees the birth of a son! It is said that this prescription was specially made for the emperor in the past."

"Open your mouth quickly, suffering is temporary, but not having a son is lifelong!"

Wang Deming took it reluctantly and sniffed it carefully. To be honest, his sense of smell is now better than that of a dog.

"Oh, Mom, this old Taoist priest is probably fake, right? Were you cheated by the rat poison seller at the Dongyue Temple fair?"

He sniffed and identified the herbs in the bowl one by one: "Hey, seahorse, gecko, snake skin, Cistanche deserticola, Morinda officinalis, Epimedium." He looked up in shock and asked in disbelief: "Mom, these are all very hot and dry medicines. There is not even a cold medicine for removing dryness. The basic principle of using medicines by monarch, minister, assistant and envoy is not followed at all." "After drinking a bowl of this stuff, at the very least, you will have hot and dry body and nosebleeds. At the worst, it will seriously consume kidney essence, leading to premature aging and impotence. This stuff is a real tiger and wolf medicine."

"How can it compare to the Ten-fold Tonic Pills sold by Chinese medicine factories in Hong Kong? They replenish kidney yin, regulate yin and yang, and fundamentally solve men's unspeakable problems."

"Wow", Wang Deming poured the bowl of medicine into the corner without saying anything.

"Alas!" Wang Shuqin was too anxious to stop him. She angrily slapped his arm repeatedly, and said angrily: "You know, you know everything, why can't you give birth to a son?"

"Mom," Wang Deming stood still, letting his godmother vent her anger. His face was twisted into an awkward shape, and he explained helplessly, "I've told you many times that I'm a little unsure about the situation in the next few years, so I don't want to have children for the time being."

"We can't just have children for the sake of having children, right? We have to consider the upbringing and education of the children."

"You know shit!" Old lady Wang Shuqin was so angry that she cursed. "No matter how much you know, can you know more than the Chairman?"

"The Chairman said there is strength in numbers. Let's learn from the heroic mother!"

"Now you are given maternity leave and nursing leave, and the factory and the street are equipped with nurseries and kindergartens." The old lady put her hands on her hips and pointed at Wang Deming's nose and scolded: "I take the baby to work and pick him up after get off work. At most, I feed the baby with milk powder and coax him to sleep at night. You are not tired at all. Why do you need to worry about raising the baby?"

"As for education, the Chairman is no more far-sighted than you! He asked so many great scientists and learned people to compile textbooks together. I am not an illiterate old lady. I have read all the new textbooks published by Renchun and Yichun last year."

The old lady's well-reasoned words left Wang Deming speechless.

In fact, it is not just in the cities, but even in the countryside, with the full establishment of the people's commune system, many communes have special nurseries, which free young parents from the tedious task of raising their children and allow them to devote themselves to building socialism.

The compilation of primary and secondary school textbooks, which began in 54, was expanded from more than 30 people at the beginning to more than 200 people under the Chairman's instructions. The most important thing was that there were many experts: educator Ye Shengtao, linguists Lu Shuxiang and Zhou Zhenfu, translator Xu Guozhang, mathematician Hua Luogeng, geographers Zhu Kezhen and Yan Jici, etc.
Even the illustrations were done by famous painters: Liu Jiyou (you), the first comic strip artist; Lei Tan of "Flying over Luding Bridge"; Zhan Jianjun of "Five Warriors of Langya Mountain"; Hua Kexiong of "The Prime Minister's Pajamas".
Is it really the household registration that prevents young people from getting married and having children?
"Mom, Mom," Wang Deming held his forehead in pain and waved his hands at Wang Shuqin. "I promise you, next year, as long as nothing serious happens, I will make sure you can have a grandson!"

"No! I want it this year!"

"It's really too late this year." Wang Deming pushed Wang Shuqin's shoulders and walked towards the inner courtyard, coaxing her as he walked: "It's almost May this year. Think about it, it takes ten months to get pregnant, so the earliest it will take is next year."

"I don't believe it. You've been dragging it on for years!"

Wang Shuqin suddenly stopped on the steps of the Chuihua Gate, turned around and looked down at Wang Deming, and whispered in his ear: "Deming, tell me something. Is it that you are not doing well in that aspect?"

"You are a doctor, you can't hide your illness and avoid treatment. Continuing the family line is the most important thing!"

Wang Deming's eyes were wide open, and his mouth was so big that a big goose egg could be stuffed into it.
