The fourth day of the first lunar month, two guests were welcomed at home, and the sister-in-law came to help. My mother-in-law is a health worker in the village, earning 900 yuan a month, especially during the Chinese New YearRuralFireworks and firecrackers have increased the number of people going out, and the generation of garbage has also increased accordingly. In addition to doing sanitation work, she also has to take care of the old man next door, with a monthly income of 2,500 yuanRuralEarning 3,400 dollars is very hard. The Chinese New Year was busier than usual, but she was still focused on her work, allowing us to concentrate on entertaining our guests.
The mother-in-law started work early in the morning, and the sister-in-law came to help, so that the housework was handled in an orderly manner. From morning to evening, the two were busy and warmKitchenIn addition to being busy, the sister-in-law also talked about some interesting things about her family, which made the whole atmosphere more relaxed and happy.

The sister-in-law is operatingKitchenDuring the affairs, I talked about my uncle, a rather special character. My brother-in-law is 68 years old this year and has been married three times, but his only son has been married for 15 years and has only one daughter. Although the son expressed pressure to have a second child, the uncle kept urging and anxiously hoped that his son would have another child. My brother-in-law owns a company in Hangzhoulife, has considerable fixed assets, but he has always been worried that the family property will not be inherited. The uncle kept urging his son, but the son did not act, which made the uncle anxious.
After two divorces, my uncle finally found a partner who was younger than his son, a 38-year-old woman who was not married. Last year, to the surprise of this young partnerPregnancyand gave birth to a healthy son. Now, my uncle is 70 years old, but he is still energetic, still insists on going to work, exercising, and preparing for his youngest son's education. This sudden "surprise" is ridiculous, the brother-in-law is a son who is more than ten years younger than his granddaughter, and such a family composition is really intriguing.
In the casual chat with the sister-in-law, I learned about itRuralThe family's unique concept of fertility. Some families want to have more children to ensure that the family wealth can be inherited, so some families still maintain the habit of having three children. Although the family planning policy has now been abolished, the cost of raising a child in poor families is quite high, which also makes many people want to have a child, but they do not dare to have a second child easily.
Looking back, the decision to have a second child has now become a luxury. Many young people are also gradually embracingOnly childThe concept of family and the concept of familylifeThe way things are changing, too. AlthoughRuralThere are still a small number of families who choose to have three children, but the overall trend is to tend to be more and more small.
