Zhang Lan, seizing the opportunity, said, "I just called a friend at the family planning office. They said there are no policies against having children after remarriage for widowers; it doesn’t count as exceeding the birth limit. But since you’re not married and haven’t applied for a childbirth permit prior to pregnancy, you need to hurry to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a marriage certificate, and then pay an 800 yuan fine at the family planning office."
Han Yu suddenly realized that this wasn’t just a family or public opinion issue, it also involved family planning policies, and instinctively asked, "It’s okay to have the baby, it won’t affect Uncle Ge’s job?"
"You can have the baby, it won’t affect Uncle Ge’s job at all!"
"Zhang Lan, did you tell them?"
"Uncle Ge, I didn’t ntion you and Master’s wife, I said a friend asked to find out."
"That’s good then."
Han Xiangning, not wanting to beat around the bush, smiled at him and said, "Uncle Ge, if you and Master’s wife decide to have the baby, San’er and I will treat the baby like a real brother or sister."
Having a child at an older age is not a blessing everyone has.
Old Ge, the more he thought about it, the more tempted he felt, and couldn’t help asking, "Have you talked to Master’s wife about this?"
"We wanted to hear your opinion first, Haoran and Xiao Qin fully entrusted and Ningning to represent them."
"I... I have no opinion."
"What do you an by no opinion?"
"Yeah, to have or not to have, it’s just a choice between two!"
"You guys go talk to Master’s wife first, I... I need to make a call."
No need to ask to know, he needs to ask for his son’s and daughter-in-law’s opinions.
Han Yu nodded, stood up first, and walked out of the dormitory.
Han Xiangning and Zhang Lan followed closely behind, the three exchanged smiles and walked into Master’s wife’s room together.
Master’s wife saw Salted Fish coming and felt very embarrassed, lowering her head, not daring to look directly, feeling her cheeks burning hot.
"Master’s wife, this is a good thing! You’ve been with Uncle Ge for so long, having a child would be great."
"At this age, people will laugh at us."
"You’re living for yourself, not for others, why care what they say."
"Master’s wife, Haoran and Xiao Qin both support it, what’s there to be afraid of?"
"If this child is born, it’ll be younger than even Junjun."
"So what if it’s young, young but still with high seniority!"
"It’s so embarrassing, and you can still laugh."
"It’s a happy occasion, of course, we’ll laugh."
"If the child is really born, when the child goes to school and there’s a parent-teacher eting, how can I attend? Everyone else’s parents are so young, and we’re like grandparents. Just thinking about it is embarrassing, not only embarrassing myself but also the child."
Having a child at this age is indeed awkward.
Han Yu quickly persuaded, "What’s embarrassing about this, if it were in East Sea, people having children at fifty or sixty are not uncommon. Especially those university professors, they marry late and have kids late, and they’re not afraid, what are you afraid of."
Master’s wife was silent for a mont, hugging the pillow and muttering, "That’s East Sea, and we’re in Linghai!"
"Then you go to East Sea, buy a comrcial house there, have the baby in East Sea, and let the baby live in East Sea."
"Buying a house in East Sea, where’s the money for that. Besides, I’m used to living in Linghai, I don’t want to go elsewhere."
"Then stay in Bailong Port, no one in Bailong Port will laugh at you."
"What did Old Ge say?"
"He’s on the phone."
As they were persuading, Old Ge walked in with an embarrassed face.
Salted Fish was about to speak, but Old Ge chuckled and said, "Gui Feng, since the kids don’t mind, let’s listen to them."
"Did you talk to Chang Hao and Xiao i?"
"Yes, they have the sa attitude as Haoran and Xiao Qin."
"But I have a child, and you have a child too, having more would be exceeding the limit."
"Zhang Lan just checked, it doesn’t count as exceeding."
"Really?"
"If you don’t believe it, you can ask Zhang Lan."
