Go back to 1980 and enjoy it

The next day.

Poxin Village.

After the family had breakfast, Zhang Shouguo and Zhang Shoumin took their wives to Longtan Street on a bicycle. Every day, they would first send their wives to open a shop to do business, and then the brothers would ride their bicycles to the countryside to receive goods.

Because today is not a fair day, neither Zhang’s father nor Zhang Shoujun and Zhang Shoushan need to go to the store to help.

Zhang Shoujun and Zhang Shoushan had stopped studying a long time ago. How could young people stay at home? Seeing that their eldest brother and sister-in-law were busy with business, the two brothers happily went up the mountain to shoot birds with their slingshots.

Father Zhang had nothing to do, so he took his eldest grandson and granddaughter around the village.

As for Zhang's mother, she would hug each other and visit neighbors to chat about the family's shortcomings.

At about 10:30 in the morning, when Zhang’s mother was chatting happily with her neighbors, she heard someone shouting: “Aunt Afa, your son-in-law is here!”

Zhang's mother smiled instantly, said hello to her neighbor, and hurried back home.

"Yoontae!"

"mom!"

After returning home and greeting each other, Zhang's mother had just put her child on the homemade children's chair when she saw her son-in-law handing over a pig butt weighing more than ten kilograms and a pack of candy cookies. She couldn't help complaining: "Yun Tai, you can just bring some candies for the children, but why are you bringing such a big pig butt?”

"My dad prepared this."

"My father-in-law is just being polite."

Mother Zhang took the pig butt and candy biscuits, and while telling her son-in-law to sit down, she hung the pig butt on the bamboo pole.

"Did Dad go to the store to help?"

"No, today is not a fair day. It's enough to have your two sisters-in-law to look after the store. Dad and the two older ones are going to play somewhere!"

After the two chatted for a while, Mother Zhang brought the topic to her daughter and said, "Yuntai, counting the days, Xiuping should be giving birth soon. As a mother, I have to go over in advance to take care of her, lest she Then your stomach starts to hurt and you don’t know what to do.”

"Mom, I came here today just to tell you this!"

With a smile on his face, Deng Yuntai spoke out his father's decision: "My dad said that giving birth at home is actually a bit dangerous. On the one hand, there are no professional midwives, and on the other hand, there is no medical equipment. If there is an accident, it will be too late to regret.

Therefore, my father wanted Pingmei to go to the county hospital to give birth, as that was the safest place. "

Hearing this, Mother Zhang felt so happy!

Although rural people in this era basically gave birth to their children at home, it does not mean that everyone does not understand that it is much safer to go to the county hospital to give birth than to give birth at home.

However, most people do not have the conditions to go to the county hospital to give birth.

After all, if you want to give birth in the county hospital, you must go to the county in advance. You cannot wait until your stomach hurts before sending you there. The estimated due date is only an approximate date calculated by the women in the village based on their own experience. It can be advanced or delayed by a few weeks. Regeneration is a normal thing.

Having to stay in a guest house in the county for so many days is not a small sum of money for an ordinary rural family.

Then, if you give birth in a hospital, the various expenses will be a very large amount.

For rural people, this money is completely unnecessary. They can save this money by giving birth at home. Who wants to go to the county hospital?

As for whether there will be dangers in giving birth at home, compared to spending so much money to have a baby, taking some risks is nothing to rural people. Anyway, women in the village are here, and there are still very few accidents. of.

Now the in-laws offered to send her daughter to the county hospital to give birth. As a mother, Zhang’s mother was naturally very happy. She praised her repeatedly: "My in-laws are thoughtful. If possible, it would be best to go to the county hospital to give birth." OK."

Deng Yuntai said: "According to calculations, Pingmei is about half a month away from giving birth, but my dad said that this kind of thing can be done in advance or delayed. We can't wait until she is about to give birth before going to the county town, so I came to tell my mother. Soon, we will send Pingmei to the county town to wait for delivery tomorrow."

Zhang's mother was surprised: "Going to the county seat so early? How much does it cost to feed and house so many people?"

Deng Yuntai smiled and said: "Mom, you don't have to worry, my dad has already rented all the houses in the county in advance." This was Deng Shirong's words to his sons, daughters and wives. In order to keep a low profile, the purchase of a house should not be made public for the time being. Just think of it as a rental.

Zhang's mother was even more surprised: "I just went up to give birth to a baby, why did my in-laws come to rent a house in the county?"

Deng Yuntai revealed a little bit and said: "Mom, my dad went to the county to rent a house not just for Pingmei to have a baby. He wants us to go to the county next year to do business. This house can be considered as advance for us." rental."

Zhang's mother was shocked when she heard this and asked: "Yuntai, are you going to do business in the county next year? Are you no longer working in the tile factory?"

Deng Yuntai nodded and said: "Well, I won't work in the cylinder tile factory now. In my father's words, there is no future in being a vat master in the cylinder tile factory. Although I can make a lot of money every month now, I will be a vat master for the rest of my life. Be a worker's life.

If you want to make a fortune, you still have to start a business and become a boss. "

If her own son dared to give up his job of more than two hundred yuan a month to start a business, Zhang's mother would definitely slap him in the face to clear his mind, but these were the words of her son-in-law, and he was the one with the wealth. The opinions put forward by my relatives are another matter.

She knew very well how discerning her in-laws were. She had just given them some random advice for the sake of her daughter, and her business had become prosperous. Now she was giving advice to her own. My own son, how could it be any worse?

Thinking of this, Zhang's mother said with deep approval: "My in-laws are right. No matter how high the salary of a vat master is, he can only be a worker for the rest of his life. If he wants to make a fortune, he really has to go into business and become a boss. I don't know. Tai, what business are you going to do in the county? "

Deng Yuntai was not afraid of being exposed in advance, and replied: "I am planning to open a hotel like Longtan State-owned Hotel, but the scale should be larger."

Zhang's mother was secretly stunned when she heard this. Her in-laws are really as generous as ever!

"However, that's all for next year. It's too early to say that now."

At this point, Deng Yuntai's voice changed: "Mom, if you are free, then you can go back with me today, and then go to Bobai together tomorrow, so that you can have a good time in the county for a while."

Mother Zhang's eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly: "I'm free, of course I'm free. Yesterday I told your two sisters-in-law that I wanted to take care of Xiuping when she gave birth to a child. Your two sisters-in-law were very supportive. Am I here?" It won’t have any impact at home.”
