Although she didn’t understand, she respected it.
This era had always encouraged reconciliation over separation.
Tang Chuxia also knew that Dangdang definitely had her own plans, so it was better not to interfere.
Just as Gu Nanzhi brought the children back, she no longer thought about discussing marriage with Dangdang, as the kids, seeing Tang Chuxia, happily offered her their ice pops.
They also knew that the orphanage was built by Tang Chuxia, even if they didn’t visit often.
In Tang Chuxia’s words, "I’m just a sponsor, and I didn’t establish it for the thankful looks in the children’s eyes. There’s no need to constantly show up just to make my presence felt. They, like other children, can’t avoid a life of hardship, but they shouldn’t have to pin their hopes for life on soone else."
Tang Chuxia firmly believed that being poor wasn’t sothing to fear; the initial gratitude would eventually change its flavor after continuous giving.
So, she didn’t interact too much with the orphans.
But those children rembered her kindness.
Without eating the ice pops offered by the children, Tang Chuxia asked them to go play, and then said to Dangdang, "The weather is hot now, and eating ice pops is fine, but later they should still drink plenty of boiled water!"
The orphanage had many children and few caregivers, so it was easy to overlook so of them. Indeed, bullying incidents still occurred due to age differences.
Tang Chuxia only hoped that Dangdang would focus on the children’s health, especially their ntal health.
She was not a professional herself, but she wanted the children to have access to professional psychological counseling.
Therefore, she always told Dangdang to encourage the children to talk more.
Dangdang also knew she wasn’t as capable as Tang Chuxia in many areas, and often took her advice seriously.
Just then, the people who ca to set up the filming equipnt arrived, and Tang Chuxia walked over with Gu Nanzhi.
Bai Yingyue spotted Tang Chuxia right away and called her over to talk.
Upon learning that Bai Yingyue had always kept in touch with her second brother, Tang Chuxia felt much more at ease.
As long as her second brother married Kai Xin, she felt the timing would be about right.
However, she had other matters to deal with. Matters of the heart were hard to predict; she certainly wouldn’t just leave them be.
"What is this movie about?"
Tang Chuxia was curious because she noticed that Bai Yingyue and the others were quite dirty.
"Orphan’s Resentnt!"
Tang Chuxia was taken aback.
She didn’t understand at first, but when she saw the na on the screenplay in Bai Yingyue’s hand, she imdiately laughed.
"That’s good!"
As for the content, it was all about the happenings in the orphanage, making it a realistic film.
"I thought you guys were going to start filming a TV series!"
TV series had already erged in foreign countries and in Hong Kong, and many people had learned about them through various channels. However, because dostic TV series were not available yet, everyone was quite unfamiliar with them.
Bai Yingyue, excited to hear Tang Chuxia’s interest in TV series, started chatting with her, possibly a little too cheerfully—so much so that the director interjected, "You have a crying scene later!"
Bai Yingyue was taken aback.
She had almost forgotten about that and had to ask Tang Chuxia to step away for a bit, or else she wouldn’t be able to cry.
Tang Chuxia was accommodating, and just negotiated with the director that since they were using the orphanage as a location, they should give the children so screen ti. Perhaps if a suitable script ca up in the future, they could let the children have a try, which could help improve their lives.
The director, being a straightforward person, agreed to consider it.
In fact, when they chose actors, they based it on the script’s needs and didn’t intentionally use the sa people.
Tang Chuxia didn’t stay too long at the orphanage. She left so money for Dangdang to buy more treats for the children and advised her to perform disinfection once a week. The heat made it easy for bacteria to breed, and with so many children, diseases could spread quickly.
She looked around and felt there was nothing much to instruct; Dangdang was taking very good care of the children.
Actually, Tang Chuxia couldn’t quite figure out how Dangdang, who had never had children, could be so passionate about them. Perhaps it was just her nature to see things through.
As they were leaving, Gu Nanzhi couldn’t help but express,"I really can’t imagine what it would be like if I had to take care of so many children."
Tang Chuxia imagined the scene and couldn’t help but laugh.
"That would be a bit scary, but you definitely won’t have to worry about that in the future!"
Gu Nanzhi was curious about the aning behind her words, but Tang Chuxia explained,"The country is now advocating for the one-child policy. Think about it, starting from the promotion to the implentation, it will definitely be swift. By the ti you graduate from university and are ready to get married and have children, you’ll only be able to have one."
Gu Nanzhi understood what she ant before she even finished talking.
Indeed, that was the case.
If she could only have one child, she might end up with only one. Then several adults would be watching one child, and she knew she wouldn’t have to worry.
Gu Nanzhi excitedly said,"That’s great, so it would not be choosing not to have children, but the country not allowing to!"
How wonderful.
Tang Chuxia laughed.
She really wanted to tell her about another tispace where, decades later, due to the lack of children, they started urging people to have more again!
Of course, for most won, the one-child policy did protect their health.
It was just that the contraception thods in response to it were sowhat lacking. The hospitals were distributing free condoms, but there were always people too shy to collect them, resulting in many won still getting pregnant frequently.
Thinking of this, she had a flash of inspiration,"Right, I need to ask your partner for help with sothing. Co on, let’s go find your little cousin!"
Gu Nanzhi uttered a sound of surprise, not understanding the purpose behind Tang Chuxia’s sudden idea.
But when Gu Nanzhi and Zheng Duoqing discussed the production of birth control products, not only did Gu Nanzhi blush, but Zheng Duoqing did as well.
After all, they were both unmarried n and won, and it was key that the discussion was in front of their partner.
"How could that be okay?"
Zheng Duoqing thought producing such products was beneath dignity.
Tang Chuxia then asked him,"What’s more important, making money or preserving dignity?"
Zheng Duoqing still didn’t want to do it.
"I have no choice, the orphanage is too small, and every day people try to abandon their children at the doorstep. Taking care of so many children requires significant expenses, I need money!"
Right now, the small factory that Tang Chuxia and Zheng Duoqing had set up, all its earnings went into the orphanage.
"Besides, we won’t hire young people. We’ll just employ military wives to work. They are married won and won’t be shy. And we won’t just make birth control products; we can also produce won’s lingerie as a cover-up!"
The tis were shy, but the products were also needed.
Zheng Duoqing still didn’t want to do it. He felt that as a grown man, conducting such a business would make it difficult to face others in the future.
Seeing that he really didn’t want to do it, Tang Chuxia didn’t insist, but she asked him to help look for a location - she would find soone else to help.
