Maternity leave in the 56s was 7 days. If there were special circumstances such as difficult labor, it could be extended by 56 days. Tang Xin had a normal delivery, so she took days of maternity leave.

Nowadays, all units treat female employees very well, which is also the reason why women in this era are willing to have children.

There is maternity leave, and wages are paid normally during the maternity leave. Generally, companies have preferential treatment for female employees during breastfeeding. In addition to daily breastfeeding leave, the canteen will also add eggs for breastfeeding employees every day. Of course, the treatment of each company is different.

Since Tang Xin doesn't have to sit in the office for long hours, her time is relatively free.

When she is at work, Sister Zheng takes care of the children at home. Jiang Wenbai is a good father. No matter how busy he is, he tries his best to take care of the children when he is at home.

So as a mother, Tang Xin feels that she has nothing to do except breastfeeding when her child needs her.

Tang Xin's life can be said to be very comfortable. Coupled with her successful weight loss, her overall mental state is very good.

During the Chinese New Year, because the children were young, their family and Sister Zheng stayed in Xintian. Although they were unable to reunite with their family, their parents came over and stayed for a few days during the winter vacation, and Tang Xin felt much better.

This year, a little baby was born in our family. This is the little baby’s first New Year. Although he can’t eat anything, it doesn’t matter. His mom will eat for him.

"You can say whatever you want. He is so young, how can he understand?"

Sister Zheng looked at Tang Xin. Since she had a child, the focus of her life had been on the child. Tang Xin felt that by looking at Xiaobao, Sister Zheng seemed to have found her sustenance in life after her aunt's death.

"Sister Zheng, she is right. Xiaobao drinks her milk. Isn't it the same as what mom eats, Xiaobao eats as well?"

Jiang Wenbo took Xiaobao from Tang Xin's arms and rocked him in his hands. Xiaobao is already five months old. Tang Xin feeds the little fat boy very well and he is plump and white. When Tang's father and mother came and saw him, they were reluctant to let go. If there were no elderly people at home, Tang's father and mother would have planned to spend the New Year here.

As for his son and daughter-in-law, they can go back to Chen Xi's home to celebrate the New Year. Chen Xi's family will definitely be happy.

After playing with the child for a while, Jiang Wenbo handed the child to Tang Xin and said, "I have to go to the countryside today. I have to leave first. I'll trouble you to spend the New Year at home."

Jiang Wenbo is very busy at work, especially in the past two years. According to the original plot, Director Li's career has developed quite smoothly, factories have been opened one after another, and technological innovation is also very good. I heard from Jiang Wenbo that they went abroad last year.

The small Xintian County has begun to earn foreign exchange for the country.

Director Li's smooth development is of course inseparable from Jiang Wenbo's strong support. Although Tang Xin has always deliberately ignored Director Li, when she encounters a problem and Jiang Wenbo solves a problem, Tang Xin will give timely reminders and help.

Therefore, in this life, everything went more smoothly than in the original book. Of course, Jiang Wenbo became busier and busier.

"Your work is important. You are doing good things for the country and the people. Having us at home is enough. However, if we talk about hard work, the one who works the hardest in our family is Sister Zheng."

Tang Xin spoke up and said that Jiang Wenbai was devoted to the country and was very serious and dedicated in his career. It was no exaggeration to say that he devoted himself to the country.

She also has a job, so most of the household chores are taken care of by Sister Zheng.

"Then why should we continue to work so hard? You are all people who can do great things. I don't have much ability, so I just help you take care of the family and take good care of our little treasure."

Sister Zheng took Jiang Xiaobao from Tang Xin with a smile. She had never achieved anything great in her life and had originally thought of serving the old lady for the rest of her life. Later, when the old lady passed away, she followed the old lady's wishes and took care of Tang Xin.

Now that Tang Xin has a baby, she takes good care of the baby. Since she had the baby, she feels that she has hope for the future. Watching the baby grow up little by little, she feels that life is really good.

"You are the greatest. If you hadn't taken care of our backs, we wouldn't be able to work so peacefully."

Jiang Wenbai thanked Sister Zheng from the bottom of his heart. Sister Zheng’s help to them was really huge.

"Okay, okay, Xiaobai, we are all family, let's not be polite. Why don't you treat Sister Zheng as your own family?"

Sister Zheng didn't want to hear Jiang Wenbo's words of thanks. In fact, she was very grateful to Tang Xin and his wife.

"Yes, let's not talk about that. We are all family. Why bother being polite? I won't say anything."

Tang Xin held Sister Zheng's arm. They were all family. She could just say thank you occasionally, and it all depended on their performance in the future.

Jiang Wenbo understood what Tang Xin meant, so he smiled and said, "Okay, let's not talk about it. My family members are not that polite."

At this time, two car horns were heard downstairs. Jiang Wenbai knew that the driver had come to pick him up, so Jiang Wenbai said no more, pulled Xiaobao's hand, turned around and went downstairs.

After Jiang Wenbo left, Sister Zheng gave the child to Tang Xin and went out to buy New Year's goods.

Yes, grab New Year’s goods.

Although Xintian has developed very well in the past two years and people's living standards have greatly improved, it is still the planned economy era after all, and many things are still in limited supply.

It’s not so bad in the countryside. The policies have been somewhat relaxed now. If you grow some vegetables and raise some chickens and ducks at home, you can improve your food.

But it’s different in the city. Although everyone eats commercial grain, everyone wants to eat something good during the New Year. After a year of hard work, they have to reward themselves well during the New Year.

Therefore, people who are reluctant to spend money at other times are willing to spend during the Chinese New Year. This has caused the supply to be a little tight. The grocery stores, which usually have few people, are now sold out as soon as the goods come in.

In fact, the county committee should have distributed New Year gifts, and her family was small, so it was enough. But Sister Zheng just liked this kind of atmosphere, and it was lively enough to rush to buy New Year goods, and only such New Year goods were delicious.

"Okay, then please be careful and don't bump into anyone in such a crowd."

Tang Xin had no objection to Sister Zheng's hobbies. Seeing Sister Zheng becoming more and more energetic day by day, she felt happy too.

"Okay, let's not talk about it for now. Sister Liu and Sister Zhang are waiting for me."

Sister Zheng was talking about other family members she met in the county party committee compound. They were of similar age and were responsible for taking care of the children and cooking at home. Most importantly, they all had experience living in the Northeast, so Sister Zheng could chat with them.

These old sisters are willing to do everything together, and Tang Xin is happy to see it and is very supportive.

Seeing Sister Zheng coming out with high morale, Tang Xin coaxed Xiaobao to sleep and then started to clean up the house.

Although Zheng Jie cleaned up on weekdays, she always cleaned more thoroughly on holidays. In this way, Zheng Jie only needed to wipe and sweep on weekdays.

February 1973, 2 was New Year's Eve. Tang Xin went to the post office to queue up early in the morning and called her relatives in Beijing. She also learned two good news that day.

The Tang family's tough nut, her fifth cousin Tang Zhanfeng, was finally sold out!

The woman was also from Beijing, a radio announcer named Wang Jieying, two years older than Tang Xin. I heard that she met the fifth cousin at work. When she was a reporter, she had interviewed the fifth cousin, and the two had known each other for two years.

We finally confirmed our relationship this year and plan to get married.

There was also good news on the Chen family's side. The marriage application of my second cousin and Rong Yuqing was approved. Their wedding was scheduled for May 1st. The weather would be good by then, and Tang Xin was thinking that she would be able to bring Xiaobao back then.

Oh, what a good life these days are. All my brothers in the family have found their partners. Although my third cousin is still one step away, he is not very old. Besides, he follows mom and others in doing research all day long, so there is no need to rush.

Last year, Jiang Wenbai’s cousin Du Qifang really came to Xintian, chasing after her sweetheart.

Tang Xin and Jiang Wenbai helped her a lot, but the child was stubborn and insisted on staying in the countryside. There was nothing they could do since no one could persuade her, so they had to agree.

My aunt had just thanked them for taking care of my cousin. They were both at Jiang's house when Tang Xin called.

Today is New Year's Eve. Jiang Wenbai went to the countryside to pick her up. One should always spend the New Year with his family.

After the call, Tang Xin went home in a good mood. She wanted to share the good news with everyone.
