Go back to 1980 and enjoy it

noon.

When Deng Shirong returned home, his son and daughter-in-law were having lunch, eating sweet potato and glutinous rice porridge.

While saying hello, nephew Bu Dashi had already served Deng Shirong a bowl.

Deng Shirong took two mouthfuls and then said: "Mei A Ping, I have made arrangements in the county seat. You should prepare to go up and wait for the birth in the next two days!"

Zhang Xiuping was surprised when she heard this: "Dad, I have at least half a month to go before giving birth. Should I go up so early to wait for delivery?"

Deng Shirong said: "You have to go up sooner or later anyway, so it would be safer to go up early."

Deng Yunzhen said: "Dad, I have to go up and accompany my sister-in-law. When the child is born, I can also help take care of it."

"Well, we all have to go up."

Having said this, Deng Shirong looked at his nephew and said, "Dashi, I will leave these little guys to you. In the next period of time, you will be responsible for cooking for them, Sister You, and my brother-in-law. This should be fine." Bar?"

Bu Dashi said: "Of course it's no problem."

Bu Dafang hurriedly said: "Uncle, how about I go up and help? Cousin Azhen may not necessarily know how to take care of children, especially those who have just been born. I am already a mother of two children, and I have quite a lot of experience in taking care of children." Adequate."

Zhang Xiuping smiled and said, "Thank you, cousin, but my mother said a long time ago that when I am ready to have a baby, she will come over to take care of me and the baby, so there is no need to trouble my cousin."

Bu Dafang took a bite of the big potato and said with a smile: "They are all relatives, so what's the trouble? Auntie might have thought of giving birth at home before, so she could just come and take care of her for ten or eight days. Now if she goes to the county in advance to wait for the birth, I wonder if Auntie has so much free time? "

"My mother is taking care of the children and cooking at home now. There are so many people in my family, even if she is not at home, it will not have any impact."

Having said this, Zhang Xiuping looked at her father-in-law and said, "Dad, with so many of us going up here, can we accommodate this place?"

"Don't worry, I've already made arrangements."

With that said, Deng Shirong looked at his eldest son and said: "Yuntai, you go to my father-in-law's house tomorrow to see how your mother-in-law is doing. If she has enough time and wants to go to the county town for a while, then take her over. , and then go to Bobai together the day after tomorrow.

If your mother-in-law is busy and can't spare so much time, please don't worry. We will make appropriate arrangements and take good care of your wife and children. "

Deng Yuntai nodded and said, "Well, then I'll go tell my mother-in-law tomorrow."

Deng Shirong looked at the little guys who were still studying and warned: "We will be away from home for a long time. You guys, don't relax in your studies and continue to work hard, okay?"

"I know dad!"

The voices of Deng Yunsong and Deng Yunheng, two students with good academic performance, were louder, but the answers of Deng Yunzhu and Deng Yunhua, two students with poor academic performance, seemed a little weak.

Deng Shirong had given up hope on the two of them and was too lazy to say anything more.

…

at the same time.

In the Zhang family in Poxin Village, Zhang's father and Zhang's mother were also having lunch and talking about their daughter's birth.

Zhang's mother peeled a sweet potato and said as she ate it: "Counting the days, Xiuping should give birth next month. Her mother-in-law is gone and my sister-in-law is inexperienced. I will definitely have to go there in advance to help.

When the time comes, cooking and taking care of the children will be left to you. "

Father Zhang nodded and said, "No problem. The two younger ones usually let the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law each carry one to the store. Anyway, the store is not busy at ordinary times. During the festival, one person will be left at home to take care of them. I go to the store to help.”

Mother Zhang hummed and said, "Then when the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law come back in the afternoon, I will talk to them about this matter."

…

afternoon.

When her son and daughter-in-law came back for dinner, Zhang's mother mentioned the matter again at the dinner table.

The two daughters-in-law have no objections to this. They can live a life like today because of their sister-in-law, and they know this. And the sister-in-law's mother-in-law is no longer here, so it is normal for her mother-in-law to take care of her when she gives birth.

Therefore, as soon as the mother-in-law finished speaking, Sister-in-law Zhang immediately expressed her position: "Mom, this is what it should be. You don't have to worry about the family, we will make arrangements."

Second Sister-in-law Zhang also nodded and said: "Sister-in-law is right. Now everyone is familiar with the business in the store. Sister-in-law and I don't have to be in the store. We can take turns cooking and taking care of the children at home. Mom, you can rest assured to take care of Ping." Sister!"

Seeing that the two daughters-in-law were so sensible, Mother Zhang was very satisfied. She said with a somewhat expectant look, "I hope Xiuping can give the Deng family a son with her first child, so that we really don't have to worry."

Father Zhang naturally also hopes that the first child his daughter will give birth to is a son, but this kind of thing depends entirely on fate. He then said: "This is the first child. It doesn't matter whether he is a man or a woman. It is naturally best to have a son. Even if he does, The in-laws probably won’t say anything about a daughter, and it’s not like they’ll stop giving birth to one.”

Sister-in-law Zhang smiled and said: "Dad, Mom, don't worry about this. The last time we went to drink Pingmei's brother-in-law's college wine, I had already talked about this topic with Pingmei. Pingmei said that her father-in-law didn't care about this, and he didn't care about life. Whether it’s your grandson or granddaughter, you should have a good full moon party!”

Second Sister-in-law Zhang also smiled and answered: "Pingmei's father-in-law is very open-minded. I heard Pingmei say it last time. Her father-in-law once said in public in the village that having a boy or a girl is not a woman's problem, but a man's problem. problem, so parents don’t have to worry about Ping Mei being gossiped about by her husband’s family after she gives birth to a daughter.”

Mother Zhang looked at her second daughter-in-law in surprise and asked, "Xiuping really told you that?"

Sister-in-law Zhang nodded and said: "Pingmei did tell me that. I heard that it was because a woman in their village gave birth to five daughters in a row. When she gave birth to the fifth daughter, her mother-in-law was so angry that she couldn't even eat a bite. Cook it for her."

Zhang's father, Zhang's mother and several brothers of the Zhang family couldn't help but frown, feeling that this mother-in-law had gone too far.

Zhang Er's sister-in-law continued: "Pingmei's father-in-law found out about this, so he went to scold the mother-in-law, saying that it was none of women's business to have boys and girls, and that women only provided a piece of land, and men could sow what kind of things on it. If you plant something, something will grow.

Since Pingmei's father-in-law can say such things to others, no matter whether Pingmei gives birth to a son or a daughter, there is no need to worry about her father-in-law being unhappy. "

Hearing this, Zhang's father and Zhang's mother were really relieved.

Regardless of whether their daughter is a boy or a girl, it will not affect her status in the Deng family!
