The Sweetness of the Seventies-Chapter 946 - 915: Over-Birth, Avoiding Family Planning Regulations

Chapter 946: Chapter 915: Over-Birth, Avoiding Family Planning Regulations

Although this child would still be loved by their parents, there would always be many troubles.

For instance, getting an IUD, getting sterilized!

One had to go within a specified time.

If one did not go, the Family Planning Committee of the street office would take action.

First, the street office would come to persuade; if the person still did not go, it would be reported to their workplace.

Family planning is a basic national policy, it’s not just talk.

Furthermore, if they found out someone was pregnant, they would forcibly terminate it.

"Brother Yingjie, it looks like we have to become a super guerrilla team," He Tiantian said with a laugh and a cry, "We can only wait to come back after having the child, and pay the fine if we must—anyway, the child will already be born."

"Haha!" Huo Yingjie laughed, "All right, you pack your things, we’ll go back to Nan City tomorrow."

He Tiantian shook her head, "We can’t go to Nan City, it’s quite strict in the cities now. Going back to Nan City might bring trouble to my father-in-law and mother-in-law. I’ve decided to go directly to Qijia Village to hide."

"Okay, I’ll take you there," Huo Yingjie said, "Afterwards, I will explain everything to my parents and grandfather."

"Yes, let’s do that. When to have the child, when to return," He Tiantian said, "Once I’m in Qijia Village and start to show, I’ll just say it’s been nearly three months. If no one mentions it, then let it be; if someone does, I’ll hide somewhere else."

Huo Yingjie felt heartbroken that Tiantian had to suffer for the sake of the child.

"Ah, it’s all because of the nature of my job that you can’t go abroad," Huo Yingjie said, "otherwise we wouldn’t need to hide in Qijia Village!"

He Tiantian smiled, "Qijia Village is also very nice, with clear mountains and fresh waters."

"Don’t worry, I will take good care of the education of our child," Huo Yingjie said, "You don’t have to worry."

Thinking of this, He Tiantian felt uncomfortable.

She wanted to take the child with her, but with the child in school now, moving around was not good for the child.

Also, she was pregnant and did not have the energy to care for the child.

Thinking of not seeing the child for eight or nine months made He Tiantian hesitate.

"What’s wrong?" Huo Yingjie asked, "Is it that you don’t want to leave the child?"

He Tiantian nodded, "Yes, I don’t want to leave the child. How about this, I won’t go to Qijia Village; instead, I’ll find a place to stay in Yanjing where I won’t show my face, and if no one can find me, there won’t be a problem. Then, you could secretly bring the child to see me."

Not seeing her child for so long would be torture for He Tiantian.

Huo Yingjie thought for a bit and said, "Okay, you can be assured, I will find a good place."

"Great!" He Tiantian smiled, "Then I’ll leave it to you, my husband."

Although Qijia Village was picturesque, it was ultimately far away and too exposed.

"Hmm, I think I still need to inform my grandfather and grandmother, to keep them in the loop," Huo Yingjie said. He believed that Old Master Huo and Old Madam Huo, who valued lineage highly, would definitely help them.

"Alright," He Tiantian, "but still, find me a place first, then you can go talk to them. Whether Grandfather and Grandmother agree or not, we will already be prepared."

"You’re right," Huo Yingjie nodded, agreeing with He Tiantian’s perspective.

Afterwards, although He Tiantian went to work, she was not as dedicated as before, preserving her energy.

After work, Huo Yingjie would pick her up.

A few days later, it was the weekend, and Huo Yingjie drove He Tiantian and the children to the countryside.

They arrived at a Taoist temple.

With the economic opening, these places had also been somewhat renovated and started attracting worshipers.

Many believers came to offer incense.

Huo Yingjie led He Tiantian and the children to pay respects, and afterward, a young Taoist monk guided them to a quiet little courtyard.

"Four lay followers, please!" the young monk said softly, "This courtyard has been cleaned up, and some ingredients are prepared in the kitchen, you may reside here at your leisure."

He Tiantian smiled, mimicking the young monk, and said with her hands together, "Thank you, young monk!"

Upon entering, He Tiantian found that it was a square courtyard with a main house of three rooms, and on each side, there were two wings—one side had two guest rooms and the other side consisted of a kitchen and dining room. Although the furniture was not new, it was very clean.

"How do you like it?" Huo Yingjie asked, "Tomorrow, I will find a female bodyguard to come and stay with you, to protect you, and also find a reliable woman to help with cooking and taking care of your daily needs."

"Hmm, okay." He Tiantian nodded, "Tomorrow I’ll go back and resign from my job, I’m not going to work anymore. After that, I’ll move in here and bring more books."

Huo Yingjie nodded and replied, "Hmm, good."

"The two children, bring them on Sunday," He Tiantian instructed, "Be careful not to be followed."

"Hehe, I’ll be careful," Huo Yingjie said, "By the way, if Xiao Yan, Wenwen, Zhengmin and others ask about it, should I tell them?"

"It’s okay, they are all trustworthy," He Tiantian said, "When the time comes, just say they wanted to come here to offer incense and have some fun, then secretly come over to see me. Otherwise, staying here alone for such a long time could be very boring."

"Alright," Huo Yingjie agreed.

He Tiantian toured each room to see what was missing, and then noted it down in a notebook she brought along, preparing to bring everything the next day.

Back at home, He Tiantian asked Aunt Guo to prepare the items on the list, as she needed them by tomorrow afternoon.

The next day, He Tiantian submitted her resignation to Vice Director Wu, explaining that she had personal matters to attend to and could no longer teach.

Vice Director Wu tried to retain her, but He Tiantian still declined.

Afterwards, she invited Vice Director Wu and her colleagues from the office for a meal as a farewell.

Teacher Xiao Chen found it hard to let He Tiantian go, lamenting, "Ah, I really hate to see Teacher He leave; now we won’t be able to enjoy the snacks from Sanfeng Bridge for free anymore."

"Is it just because of the snacks that you hate to see Teacher He go?" Teacher Liu laughed, "All you think about is eating. You need to be careful, you’ve gained more than five pounds this year. You were not slim to begin with, and if you keep eating like this, you’re likely going to end up as Little Fatty."

"Ah, it’s hard to have both a good figure and indulge in delicious food," Teacher Xiao Chen said ruefully.

"That’s not entirely true, look at Teacher He, isn’t she keeping up really well?" Teacher Da Chen laughed, "It’s because you don’t like to exercise and eat a lot that you’re gaining weight! "

Teacher Zhou, who was the oldest, asked, "Teacher He, everything seemed fine at work, why do you suddenly need to take leave?"

She couldn’t really say that she had to hide in the Taoist temple to avoid family planning policies.

"Ahem!" He Tiantian chuckled, "Personal reasons, I’d rather not say for now, maybe another time."

Seeing that He Tiantian was reluctant to elaborate, everyone stopped asking.

After the meal, He Tiantian taught her last class in the afternoon, said her goodbyes to her colleagues, and informed them that other teachers would replace her.

Although the students found Teacher He very strict, they also recognized her as responsible and attractive.

The students thought it was a pity, as the Department of Traditional Opera was losing another beautiful teacher.
