Reborn in the 70s / Reborn in 1978

Everyone started discussing noisyly.

All the people here got into the car, Zhang Xingming also got into the car, closed the door, the three cars started, and rushed to the city, which is their new home.

Along the way, Brother Dasheng and Sister Lan felt uneasy. They were embarking on a new journey.

Miss Xiaoping is very excited. She has moved to the city to live in a big house and has her own shop. How happy is this.Although Zhang Xingming didn't care about this small shop in Nanfen at all, it was a huge wealth for Miss Xiaoping. Now Zhao San's shop has long since quit. Tens of thousands are quite easy.

Not long after the car went up the mountain road, the father, grandson and other people fell asleep, snoring one after another, Zhang Xingming also leaned on the seat and fell asleep, Xiaoping was so excited that she couldn't sleep, and no one spoke, so she just stared wide-eyed. Looking out the window.

When they arrived at the place, the security guards helped move the things into the building and left. The two families each packed their own things.

Not to mention Miss Xiaoping screaming and running around the yard, Dad walked around downstairs, then went into the kitchen, touched and looked at everything, this kitchen is a bit western style, very spacious, Dad is quite satisfied.

Zhang Xingming stood at the door of the kitchen and watched his father tinkering there, and said, "Dad, why don't we hire a nanny to cook, wash clothes and tidy up the house, so you and my mother don't have to do these jobs."

Dad opened the cabinets one by one to look, and asked: "Then I am haha?"

Zhang Xingming said: "Why don't you go to Nanfen's class? What's the point? Can you open a shop with my mother?"

Dad closed the door of the cupboard, knocked on the marble countertop, and said, "Two people are needed to open the store? I'm idle when I don't go to work? Besides, I have been working for so many years, and the pension and medical care are all gone if I quit. Isn't it a pity?"

Zhang Xingming said: "Dad, our family still has to think about that stuff now? What kind of mentality do you have?"

Dad just laughed, scratched his head and said, "I didn't turn the corner. It doesn't matter if you do it or not. The key is to be idle like this. Isn't it bad for people to be idle? Or, you can find something for me What? I see you arranged this and that, so arrange for me too. How does this stove work? Where is the pot? Didn’t find it?”

Zhang Xingming walked over to open the cabinet door under the stove, pointed and said, "Here, there is no tank here, it's a pipe, you just need to use it."

Gas is still used at this moment, not natural gas later.

Dad looked up and down for a while, pondered for a long time, and began to search left and right. Zhang Xingming took out a box of matches from the side cabinet and handed it over. Dad took the match and took out one. After thinking for a while, he turned around and asked, "How do I order?"

Zhang Xingming just laughed, walked over to demonstrate, struck a match, put it on the stove, then turned the switch to turn on the gas, the stove made a puffing sound, and then a little blue flame ignited, and continued to grow, and the flame tip gradually turned Red, and the whole stove is burning.

Dad tilted his head and looked at it for a while, and said, "This thing doesn't look as good as a liquefaction tank. This fire is limp and boring."

Gas has many impurities, low temperature, and soft firepower. This is also the reason why later generations have no power to fight back against natural gas, but in this era, this is advanced, and this is foreign gas.

After burning for a while, there was a faint smell in the kitchen, the unique smell of carbon monoxide and incompletely burned gas.

Dad sniffed and said: "This stuff is not good, it's not as good as that can, can't you use that?"

Zhang Xingming said: "Isn't it convenient? You don't need to change it, just unscrew it and light it, and slow it down. Anyway, cooking won't delay, so why bother?"

Dad put down the match, clapped his hands, and said, "That's right, let's use it together. Oh, I'm anxious to see. Why didn't you look at the place where the clothes are dried? Where do the clothes hang? In the yard?"

Zhang Xingming pointed his finger and said, "On the roof, or in the backyard of the building, you can come here wherever it is convenient. Anyway, there are plenty of places."

Dad scratched his head, looked around and said, "I'm not used to it, I always feel that something is missing. Then the laundry has to be carried from the first floor to the roof to dry?"

Zhang Xingming said: "There is also a laundry room on the top floor. There are washing machine spin-dryers. If you wash in the lower part, you can hang it in the lower part, and if you wash it in the upper part, you can dry it in the upper part."

Dad stroked his chin and said, "It's doable, haha, this guy only got two sets of washing machines, tsk tsk, ah, it's getting better and better. What about the TV? How many sets? I can't miss it. gone."

Zhang Xingming said: "I didn't make much, just four sets, one big in the living room, one in grandma's room, one in your room, and one in my room. It's gone. I'm afraid it will delay my brother's study, so the third floor is not set up."

Dad asked: "Where is your second brother? Don't make too little, it's not a valuable thing, one and a half makes people think too much."

Zhang Xingming said: "Don't worry, there are one TV set for each room, six or seven sets, and a bunch of optical antennas, and the multi-frequency antennas brought back from Hong Kong. That one is like a weather center."

In this era, TVs are all wireless signals, so you need to set up a tall and tall antenna, and you have to turn the direction when the signal is not good and you can’t get it clearly.

Later, after 92, Nanfen Mine paid for the installation of a closed circuit, which was called cable TV at that time, but it was not popularized, and most areas did not have it.Zhang Xingming in the city really doesn't know.

Chapter 222 I know what your mother likes to eat (2)

Dad rummaged through the things in the kitchen, looked left and right, and walked out of the kitchen slowly, then went to grandma's room to take a look, looked at the bed, and turned over the mattress.

Grandma didn't have Simmons here, because she was afraid that the elderly would not be used to sleeping, so she laid out brown mats, which were not available in the north and were shipped from the south.

At this time, the Northeast is mainly covered with straw mats. After a few days of sleep, it will fall apart, drop grass scum, and there will be insects.

"What's missing, mom?" Dad asked grandma after checking the bed.

Grandma said: "I don't lack anything, I have everything, and I still lack anything."

Dad looked around and said, "This bed looks okay. The TV is placed high, so the neck won't hurt after a long time? By the way, have you brought back the electric mattress? Put it on your grandma's bed. I'm afraid of getting cold when I'm old. .”

Zhang Xingming went over to change the TV to a lower place with his father, and then said: "No, I forgot, let the elder sister bring it back tonight, I will call."

Grandma said: "If you don't use it, it's still cool. If you use that stuff, it will waste electricity."

Dad said: "It can use more electricity. You and my dad can make good health and live for two more years, which is better than anything else. Our family does not lack that little money. In the future, we can say whatever we want Just cook whatever you eat, you are all right, your daughter and your grandson will be happy, oh mom."

Grandma nodded in agreement.Now grandma has regained her spirits again, her hair is neatly combed, she is a little fatter, and looks very energetic, she is no longer the worrying look she just came back from Pianling.

Coming out of grandma's house, my father looked at his watch and said, "Have you bought any vegetables? How about doing it at home?"

Zhang Xingming said: "I really didn't buy any food today. If you don't want to move, let the restaurant deliver it."

Dad turned his head and glared at him, and said, "Walk a few steps and you'll be exhausted? Little things are all crooked."

Zhang Xingming curled his lips and said, "Hey, Dad, you really mean, let's hire a nanny, okay?"

Dad was taken aback, looked at him and said, "Really want to hire? I thought you were joking, hire that gaha? What can't you do?"

Zhang Xingming said: "In such a big place, it takes half a day to clean the dust every day, and you also have to cook, wash clothes, take care of my grandparents, clean the yard, feed the fish, and water the flowers. Have you done all of this? Then it’s not enjoying a blessing, it’s spending money to find a crime.”

Dad looked around and said, "That's right, it's too big, and I can't get it done all day long, so let's find someone, clean up the yard or something, and I'll take care of it." Do it, I know what your mother likes to eat."

Zhang Xingming stepped forward and put his arms around Dad's shoulders, and said, "Dear Dad, I know you are good to my mother and want to take care of us, but should we do something more meaningful? Whatever mom likes to eat, just tell her and you'll have it."

Dad looked back at the direction of the kitchen, a little hesitant, Zhang Xingming's admiration for his dad really turned into a vast ocean at this moment, how much he loves to cook.

"Dad, do you think this is okay? Didn't you just say that you asked me to arrange for you? I think, if you transfer your work to the city, if you just want to stay in the factory, then stay. If you want to do something Well, I’ll build a small factory for you, and we can do it ourselves. If you don’t want to do it, you can go out with your mother and go wherever you want at home or abroad, okay?”

Dad looked around in circles, thought for a long time, then turned to Zhang Xingming and said, "Ask your mother tonight, and listen to your mother."

Zhang Xingming's eyes went dark, and the sea in his mind howled violently and the waves roared. Dad, he was really convinced.

I followed my dad to the grape arbor, and my dad looked up and said, "What kind of grape is this?"

Zhang Xingming said: "I really don't know. It was made by the garden. I guess the variety is not too bad."

Dad nodded and said: "The common varieties here can't survive, that is, Jufeng and longan can resist a little bit of cold, whatever, can they really be eaten? Just make a scene, do you have fish in the pool? "

Go to the rockery fish pond again.

All the way is a crooked path paved with crushed stones, with flowers and trees planted on the side of the road, my father said: "Let's pave the road with crushed stones, it looks good, but it's uncomfortable to walk on. The road is full of curves, how anxious it is to walk.”
