Chapter 589: Chapter 0589 Family Reaction 2_1

The words of Guan Cheng caused Lu’s father to nod slightly, then frown, saying, "The matter of midwifery..."

The previous midwife was gradually getting older, and the number of women and children she had successfully delivered were far fewer than Feng Qingxue’s. In the few months when Feng Qingxue was not present, two out of four newborns in the Wanglou Brigade died on the spot, not to mention those from other brigades.

Therefore, the issue of midwifery was of particular importance.

Guan Cheng was capable of healing and setting bones, but as a man, learning the art of midwifery was virtually impossible.

"Our brigade has me, a new doctor, and my medical skills are not bad. The villagers should have no objections or anger towards Auntie joining the army. What I’m worried about is the midwifery issue, especially when women and children do not survive. If Auntie is not at home for a long time, their relatives will definitely be particularly angry. Grandpa, on this issue, we need to think of a solution very carefully."

Lu’s father sighed, "Yes, it needs to be resolved lest it provokes public anger, which would be harmful to our whole family."

His son had finally been able to reunite with his wife, which was of course a source of joy for him. He was very supportive; with his daughter-in-law by his son’s side, he would not have to worry about his son depleting his own health or not taking his life seriously.

Feng Qingyun interrupted: "What’s so difficult about this? Don’t we just need to find another skilled midwife?"

"Easier said than done!" Lu’s father patted her head.

Those with good medical techniques are working in hospitals. How would they come to live this dual life of doctor and farmer in the countryside?

People strive for advancement, like water flowing to lower ground.

"Uncle Lu, just think of a solution. A good one. Don’t let the villagers resent my sister for joining the army." Feng Qingyun said.

"One cannot make bricks without straw!" Lu’s father sighed again, "But I’ll keep this in mind, ensuring your sister, along with Xibao, can safely join the army."

Solutions depend on people’s thinking; there is always a way out.

At this moment, Wang Zhenguo came over to tell Guan Cheng that he could prepare to attend the doctor’s training. When he learned that Lu Jiang had sent a telegram, he asked what the telegram said. After listening to it, he first said to Lu’s father: "You don’t need to worry about the midwife issue, I’ll handle it. Now, our Wanglou Brigade is known as a good place to be. Are we afraid that there will be no gynecological experts coming? I’m not worried about you and your sons. They are not young anymore. They were able to manage when they were younger, and now they are several years older, why can’t they continue to do so? Xiaoyun is a girl, and it is indeed a bit inconvenient for her. I’ll have her move in with her aunt."

Years ago, he had discussed with Miao Fengqin that if Feng Qingxue got married, they would take in the orphaned Feng Qingyun. After Feng Qingxue got married and took Feng Qingyun with her, they never mentioned that plan again.

No matter how close an uncle and niece are, they can never be closer than sisters.

Now, with Feng Qingxue joining the army, Wang Zhenguo was genuinely happy for her, naturally considering the problem of his little niece.

He was not worried about food, clothing, housing, and travel. The Wanglou Brigade had harvested plenty over the years, and the Lu family did not lack grains or oil. All the children could wash clothes and cook for themselves. The only concern was the differences between genders.

As Feng Qingyun grew older, she became more and more beautiful. Although she could not match Feng Qingxue, she was no less than Wang Jiao. Given time, she would certainly attract attention. Living in the same courtyard with Lu Tianjun and the other boys, there would certainly be people gossiping, which would not be good for her future marriage prospects. Therefore, the urgent matter was to move Feng Qingyun out of the Lu family.
