Chapter 185 Upstairs and downstairs, lights and telephones

noon.

After staying at his father-in-law and mother-in-law’s house and eating two bowls of white porridge, Deng Yuntai looked at his mother-in-law and asked, “Mom, have your luggage been packed?”

Mother Zhang said: "Just bring a few pieces of laundry and change of clothes. They have been packed up a long time ago. Are you sure you don't need to bring some diapers?"

Deng Yuntai smiled and said, “I really don’t need to get diapers. These homes have already prepared them, and there are plenty of diapers!”

Mother Zhang nodded and said, "Okay, as long as you have it."

Deng Yuntai then looked at his father-in-law and said, "Dad, it's getting late now, so I'll go back first. After Ping Mei is born, I'll come back to tell you the good news."

 Father Zhang hummed and said, "Then I'm waiting for your good news."

Then, Deng Yuntai said hello to his two brothers-in-law and took his mother-in-law back to Naye Village on his bicycle.

After leaving Poxin Village, Deng Yuntai said while riding his bicycle: "Mom, we will arrive at Longtan Street later. Do you want to go to the store and say hello to the two sisters-in-law?"

Mother Zhang said: "Then go and say hello. It just so happens that you haven't seen my store yet, so you might as well go and take a look."

Deng Yuntai responded and then concentrated on riding his bicycle. He was carrying his mother-in-law in the back seat. The speed must not be too fast. He couldn't ride on the uneven places like he did when he was carrying his wife. The speed couldn't be too slow either. The pressure is still quite high.

With great difficulty, I arrived at Longtan Street, and under the guidance of my mother-in-law, I went to the small shop selling agricultural products.

Today is not a day, and it is noon. There is not a single customer in the store. Sister-in-law Zhang and Sister-in-law Zhang are eating melon seeds and chatting!

When they saw their mother-in-law and brother-in-law walking into the store, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang were surprised and quickly stood up to say hello.

Zhang's mother didn't talk nonsense. After the two parties greeted each other, she told her two daughters-in-law the situation. Finally, she said: "I will go back with Yuntai today, and then we will go to Bobai together tomorrow. The next one Yue, it will be hard for you two if I am not at home."

After hearing what their mother-in-law said, Sister-in-law Zhang and Sister-in-law Zhang were filled with envy for their sister-in-law. She even had to go to the county hospital to give birth to a baby, and even went there half a month in advance to wait for delivery. Such treatment could never be found in rural areas. There is no second person left.

For her mother -in -law to take care of her aunt to have children, she had originally discussed it yesterday, but it was only longer than before.

In front of her brother-in-law, Sister-in-law Zhang and Sister-in-law Zhang both behaved very well, saying that since they were at home, they could just let their mother-in-law focus on taking care of their sister-in-law, and not worry about home.

Mother Zhang nodded with satisfaction and did not stay in the store too long, so she called her son-in-law to leave together.

After watching her mother-in-law and brother-in-law leave, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but said: "Our sister-in-law's life is really good. Not only does she marry into a good family, but her father-in-law is so kind to her. He even went to the county town half a month in advance to give birth to a child. When you’re about to give birth, no one else takes it seriously!”

Second Sister-in-law Zhang nodded and said: "Yes, I go to Bobai half a month in advance to wait for the birth, and I don't know how much more it will cost. If it were other families, even if they were rich, they would probably not be willing to spend so much money. Our sister-in-law really wants to marry Entering the blessing nest."

 …

At the same time that Deng Yuntai went to invite his mother-in-law, Zhang Xiuping also told the two little sisters that she was going to Bobai in advance to wait for delivery.

 This news undoubtedly caused the two little sisters to exclaim.

After all, going to the county town half a month in advance to wait for childbirth is an operation that has never been seen in rural areas in this era. Even those who go to the county town to give birth are basically sent to Bobai temporarily because of difficult labor.

 …

 The next day.

 After breakfast, a total of seven people, Deng Shirong, Zhang Mu, Deng Yuntai, Zhang Xiuping, Deng Yunzhen, Bu Dafang, and Bu Dashi, went to the Tanlian intersection.

The two siblings, Bu Dafang and Bu Dashi, naturally did not follow Bobai. They followed to the Tanlian intersection mainly to ride their bicycles back.

Originally, if you go to Bobai, you can just take the bus directly at the entrance of the village. You don't have to walk so far to the Tanlian intersection to take the bus, because the shuttle bus from Shapi Commune to Bobai will pass by the entrance of Naye Village.

But the road from Naye Village to Tanlian Intersection was really bad. Deng Shirong was worried that the shuttle bus would shake too much and it would be bad for his eldest daughter-in-law, so he suggested taking a bus to Tanlian Intersection. The road conditions from here to Bobai were much better. . At this time, Zhang Xiuping was sitting on the back seat of the bicycle, while Deng Yuntai was pushing the bicycle and walking with everyone.

Bu Dashi, on the other hand, rode a bicycle with a full load of luggage. He rode for a while and then stopped to wait. When everyone came over, he continued riding for a while.

 More than an hour later, everyone arrived at the Tanlian intersection.

After unloading the luggage from the bicycle, Deng Shirong said: "Okay, Da Fang Dashi, you go back first!"

The Bu siblings responded, greeted everyone one by one, and then rode a bicycle back home.

The Tanlian intersection is the largest main road in Bobai County, and the traffic volume is naturally not comparable to that of Shuangwang, a mountainous area.

 Therefore, everyone only waited for less than half an hour before the shuttle bus to Bobai County arrived.

 …

noon.

 Bobai County Main Street.

Deng Shirong took his son, daughter-in-law and mother-in-law to the two-story building he bought.

Seeing the two-story building, Zhang’s mother was full of surprise. She thought her in-laws were renting a house, but she didn’t expect that they were renting a two-story building.

 The two-story building was originally a bit old, but after renovation, it still looks very good.

Especially when she saw the light bulb hanging on it, Mother Zhang could hardly take her eyes away.

In this era, only a very small part of the rural areas in Bobai County have access to electricity. Most of the rural areas do not have access to electricity, and Poxin Village naturally does not have access to electricity either.

Now that she has moved to the county town to live in a two-story building with electric lights, even though the house is only rented by her in-laws, Zhang’s mother still feels very excited.

  After all, the biggest pursuit of rural people in this era is a saying that became popular in the 1950s and 1960s: upstairs and downstairs, lights and telephones.

Now this house has enough upstairs and downstairs, and it also has electric lights. It is just a phone call away, and it is the life that rural people dream of.

 …

Deng Shirong introduced: "My mother-in-law, there is only one room on the first floor. The one next to it is the bathroom and this is the kitchen. There are four rooms on the second floor. Three of the rooms have beds. Two of them have wardrobes. My mother-in-law, you choose One room has a wardrobe, and the other room is reserved for Yuntai and A Pingmei. "

Regarding the arrangements made by the in-laws, Zhang’s mother quickly declined: “In-laws, I only have a few clothes to wash and change. There is no need for a wardrobe. Just put them on the bed. Leave the room with a wardrobe to my sister-in-law!”

Deng Yunzhen waved her hand quickly and said: "Aunt, I only have a few clothes to wash and change. If I don't need a wardrobe, you can just stay here."

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "My dear, don't refuse. You have to put the child's diapers and miscellaneous things here. You will definitely need this wardrobe."

Deng Yuntai and Zhang Xiuping also gave words of advice.

Mother Zhang then said: "In this case, I won't refuse."

 Soon, the rooms were divided.

Deng Shirong lives in the room downstairs. The two rooms with wardrobes on the second floor are divided between Zhang's mother and Deng Yuntai. The remaining room with a bed is reserved for Deng Yunzhen.

 After dividing the rooms and packing their luggage, the family can go out to eat in a relaxed mood.
