Chapter 625 The Wife's Decision
On the way back to Jiangzhou, Zhang Yunhe was startled by the alarm from the landing craft: "Warning, the landing craft's power energy is only 10% remaining. Apart from this flight, there is only one remaining flight of no more than 2000 kilometers. From now on, in order to maintain the normal operation of the landing craft's systems, we can only temporarily shut down the power drive function. Please replenish the energy in time!"
"There are two ways to replenish energy: first, replace the energy crystals, which are the highest quality energy. Second, place the landing craft in a well-lit area so that it can actively absorb light energy. The energy conversion system will automatically convert it into power. If the light is exposed to sunlight for more than 12 hours a day, it can be fully charged within 30 days."
Zhang Yunhe was stunned. Low on energy? He had never paid attention to this matter before, subconsciously believing that this thing had infinite energy. He didn't expect that the energy would eventually run out and need to be replenished.
What could he do? He didn't have the talent to acquire energy crystals, nor the technology to manufacture them. His only solution was to use the landing craft less frequently and on shorter journeys. He would also have to place the landing craft in the sun for a period of time to absorb solar energy and recharge it.
Zhang Yunhe thought to himself, "Looks like I can only use it once or twice every few days, and I have to avoid going to the enemy's lair. If I run over there and run out of energy, I'll be caught dead!"
"I had originally planned to visit the Joker and Western Europe when I had time, to patronize their military weapons and ammunition depots and bring back some goods. Now it seems that I won't be able to do that in the short term. If I can fill up the energy compartment of the landing craft, I should be able to make one or two round trips."
After a while of random thoughts in his mind, Zhang Yunhe returned to Jiangzhou not long after.
After returning home, his wife Liu Huilan was still awake. It was almost 11 o'clock in the evening.
Hearing the noise coming from downstairs, Liu Huilan came downstairs wrapped in thick pajamas. She heard Zhang Yunhe washing up in the bathroom and walked to the door and asked, "Are you back? How was the business?"
Zhang Yunhe, who was taking a shower, heard the voice and replied, "Very good, it's settled. If you don't want to sleep, can you cook me a bowl of noodles?"
Liu Huilan outside the door agreed: "Okay, I'll go cook it now"
When Zhang Yunhe came out of the shower, Liu Huilan had already cooked a bowl of noodles and placed it on the dining table. She was sitting on a chair reading a French book.
The noodles are crystal clear, with two fried eggs, a few green leaves, chili sauce, and chopped green onions sprinkled on top. The red and green colors are greasy, and the appearance makes you hungry.
"Mm, delicious!" Zhang Yunhe mumbled as he slurped his noodles. "By the way, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are Saturday and Sunday. I'll be resting at home. Next Monday, I'll be going to Shanghai to apply for a job!"
"Why do you suddenly want to go to Shanghai to apply for a job? I haven't heard you mention it before. You are away from home every other day, and I still have a job. What should I do at home?" Liu Huilan asked in surprise, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone.
Zhang Yunhe said, "It's the end of the year now, and the foreign company headquarters asked me to come over to summarize this year's work achievements and submit next year's work plan, etc."
At this point, his tone changed: "You've really worked hard at home. The child is still young, and I haven't taken care of the family affairs. This is my fault. I apologize to you! But starting next year, everything will be fine. I will hand over most of the work to the people below. I will stay here to coordinate the overall situation, and I will have more time to spend with you and the child."
"Ever since opening the branch here, I've been working on expanding the market, establishing relationships, and building freight routes over the past two years. This has taken up most of my time. Now that market development is complete, interpersonal relationships are in place, and freight routes are established, life will be much easier in the future!"
Liu Huilan was immediately delighted when she heard this: "Really?"
"Of course it's true. Can I still lie to you?"
"Great, eat it quickly, the noodles won't taste good if they get cold!"
Zhang Yunhe ate his noodles and thought of something. "Huilan, you have a job at the French Consulate, and you have your organizational affairs, and I'm also busy with the company's affairs. We already have one child and don't have time to take care of it. Why don't we have a second one? If we have another one, it's not that we can't raise it, but we simply don't have the energy to discipline it!"
When Liu Huilan heard this, she immediately exploded: "No more children? No, you must have one. You promised me to have three more. You can't go back on your word!"
"Three more? Our family can afford ten, but will you have the time to discipline them? If you give birth to them but don't have the energy to educate them properly, won't they blame and resent us when they grow up and make mistakes or have no future?"
Liu Huilan looked as if she had seen a ghost. "Are you crazy? Education requires schools and teachers. If parents complete the study and teacher's work, then what are the teachers and schools for?"
Zhang Yunhe said, "It takes six or seven years for a child to grow up and go to primary school. During this period, there are no teachers to supervise them. As the saying goes, a child's character can be seen at the age of three. How can parents ignore them during these years? If they let their children develop bad habits, it will be difficult to change them even if they want to!"
"This..." Liu Huilan was speechless.
After eating, the couple went upstairs. Liu Huilan was still thinking about this matter while lying on the bed. Zhang Yunhe had already fallen asleep, but she was still tossing and turning.
Early in the morning, Zhang Yunhe was woken up by his wife.
"what's wrong?"
Liu Huilan said, "I want to quit my job at the French Consulate. Besides completing the tasks assigned by the organization, I want to spend the rest of my time at home giving birth and taking care of the child. What do you think?"
Zhang Yunhe suddenly woke up from his sleepiness. He sat up and looked at his wife. Seeing her panda eyes, he asked, "You didn't stay up all night thinking about this, did you?"
"Well, I've thought about it. Having too many children does require parents to spend time and energy to teach them how to behave, to detect illnesses in time, and to keep them well fed and clothed. So I want to quit my job and stay at home to take care of the children."
"Are you serious?" Zhang Yunhe asked.
"real!"
Zhang Yunhe thought about it and realized that his wife’s willingness to give birth to a child for him was a manifestation of her love for him. If a woman was unwilling to give birth to a child for a man, no matter how much she said she loved the man, she was just saying one thing and thinking another.
Zhang Yunhe couldn't dampen his wife's enthusiasm, so he nodded and said, "Okay, since you've made up your mind, I'll support you. But don't regret it in the future. Let's make things clear today, and don't blame me in the future!"
"Why should I blame you? I'm not crazy!"
