Chapter 119: Recorder
The acceptance of the employee dormitory of the towel factory failed. The construction bureau was criticized by the city and ordered to make quick rectifications.
Tao Nanfeng became famous in one battle and became the person the construction team was afraid of. No one dared to underestimate it anymore.
When Qian Liming saw Tao Nanfeng, he was like a mouse and a cat. He didn't dare to say a single bad thing again. He was afraid of saying another word. He was afraid of making this aunt unhappy. If she picked out any construction quality problems, he would not have to live.
Ouyang Cheng and Zhao Liang and others were discussing how to remedy it. Tao Nanfeng wisely said nothing this time, and the crux of the problem was found. It was when the structural experts appeared. They couldn't show off in everything themselves.
When it is time to be strong, when it is time to be low-key, and when it is time to be low-key, this kind of Tao Nanfeng who is free to keep calm makes Tao Shouxin very pleased.
When he got home, Tao Shouxin kept smiling, which made Xiangbei a little curious. He asked, "Did you encounter any interesting things when you accepted the acceptance today? Dad is so happy today."
Tao Shouxin told me what he encountered today, and Liang Yinzhen called Amitabha: "Oh, fortunately, my family is in a prosperous state, otherwise I would have been bullied by the construction team."
Xiangbei nodded aside: "This is what happens in the world. If you are strong, he will be weak; if you are weak, he will be strong."
The loquats in the yard have already bear fruit. Although they are not big, they look very attractive when hanging on the branches. Tao Nanfeng took the loquat handed by Liang Yinzhen and took a bite. It was sour, sweet and hydrated, and squinted: "It's delicious!"
Xiangbei knew she liked to eat, so she picked a large handful and put it on the table in the main hall. Liang Yinzhen muttered: "Soiry and spicy girl, Nanfeng's baby seems to be a son."
Xiangbei was afraid that his mother would prefer boys over girls, so he deliberately said: "People say that if he is pregnant with a daughter, his mother will become beautiful. I think she is a daughter."
Liang Yinzhen looked at him angrily: "What are you doing opposite to me? You only have one, and I like grandchildren. Looking at Nanfeng's body, from behind, it looks like he is not pregnant, it must be a son. You are a man, you don't understand. I am pregnant with a child and have great experience."
Xiangbei suddenly found a problem when he heard this: "Oh?"
Liang Yinzhen's face changed slightly, and her eyes drooped: "You just have to carry it with me. I mean, I'm pregnant with a son and I'm very experienced."
Xiang’s four children, east, south, north, Xiang Qian, and a daughter. Liang Yinzhen is a very kind and loving mother, and she will not confuse the two completely different concepts of children and sons.
What's more, Liang Yinzhen's eyes twitched and his eyes wandered, and there was something in his heart.
Xiangbei had the keenness of a scout and was suspicious, but seeing that his mother's face was wrong, he did not ask again. Perhaps this was a painful past for her mother, so why bother asking and talking more?
Parents are kind to them and respect and care. What's the point of not being their biological parents?
At night, Xiangbei hugged Tao Nanfeng's waist and expressed his suspicion: "Nanfeng, would you feel unhappy if I were not my parents' biological child?"
After Tao Nanfeng became pregnant, he became more emotional and snuggled in his arms gently, listening to his calm heartbeat, and whispered: "Why are you unhappy? He is as deep as he is to raise his kindness. Mom takes care of you and me in a comprehensive manner, and I wish I could give all of it. Such love has transcended blood and emotions. I respect her very much."
Xiangbei put his chin on Tao Nanfeng's head and slowly rubbed it. He was able to embrace the woman he loved deeply, and her love crystallization in her belly, her life was perfect, and she had no regrets.
"I guess, my parents didn't even save their children. In that war-torn era, the pain of losing their children must be very, very heavy. It is my luck that they adopted me and raised me. We will be filial to them together in the future."
Tao Nanfeng closed his eyes and said "Yes", "I am now a mother. Every day I feel that my child raises his legs and kicks in his belly, I feel a sense of happiness that is connected with blood. As long as I want to separate from him, I will be so painful that I can't breathe. I really can't be like the pain of my mother watching a child die. My mother's past was so bitter, we must be kind to her."
Tao Nanfeng knew that Liang Yinzhen liked children, and now that she became pregnant, her motherhood became stronger and she could understand her pain of losing her son. Whether Xiangbei was a biological child or adopted, she only recognized Liang Yinzhen as her mother-in-law.
Xiangbeidao: "Now we have money, and I don't know what my mother likes. Should I buy some for her?"
Tao Nanfeng made a suggestion: "Tomorrow, Sunday, will we take our mother to the store?"
As a result, the next day, just as he said he would go to the store to buy things, Liang Yinzhen waved his hand: "If you don't go, you won't go. There are too many people in department stores in big cities. I feel dizzy when I see it. I still feel comfortable raising chickens, growing vegetables and cooking at home. Nanfeng is pregnant, so don't go to that place with a lot of people. It's not good if I touch it or bump it."
Xiangbei had to smile bitterly.
Liang Yinzhen thought for a while and said, "If you really want to buy something, buy a radio for me. I saw that day at the village chief's house, someone sang opera and talked about storytelling, which was very lively."
Hearing this, Xiangbei said ashamed in his heart.
An average family can’t afford a radio, but now he has made money, and this little money is nothing, so why didn’t he think about buying one?
Tao Shouxin and Tao Nanfeng were busy in college, and had many channels to obtain information. They often spent a lot of time reading books and newspapers. They never thought about buying a radio. Xiangbei ran at the wholesale department and cigarette sales point every day, and always dealt with different people. His life was fulfilling.
But Liang Yinzhen is different from Xiang Yongfu. They are busy with housework in a small courtyard. They don’t know many people in the village of Yuanhou and have limited entertainment activities. The happiest time every day is when the family reunites, and everyone talks about what’s happening outside.
Thinking about it from the perspective of others, Liang Yinzhen and Xiang Yongfu were a little lonely.
Xiangbei hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll go get industrial tickets and buy radios right away."
Two days later, Xiangbei held a large dual-purpose machine. The full-band FM radio was equipped with a tape in the center, and silver speakers were placed on both sides.
There are also several boxes of the latest version of the tape, crosstalk tapes issued by Kyoto Radio and Television Service Company, □□ Golden Songs, and blank recording tapes.
When Liang Yinzhen saw the silver-white box, his eyes shone brightly and he touched it casually: "Is this a radio? It's different from Village Chief Wang."
Xiangbei smiled and said, "The one in the village chief Wang's house is a red-lane radio, and ours is the latest inclusion machine, which is much more advanced." This is the most fashionable electronic product in the country in 1979, and the price is also very high-end.
Liang Yinzhen looked at Yingbei demonstration and put a box of tape into the middle clamp position. He pressed the button. After the "click" sound, the "squeezing" current sound came.
Then the music prelude rang.
Liang Yinzhen widened her eyes, looked at the magical square box, and heard the folk art program inside, and quickly dragged a chair and called Xiang Yongfu to sit down.
The old couple sat upright next to the meter like a child, pricking up their ears to listen to crosstalk.
"Hahahaha..." Liang Yinzhen laughed so hard that tears flowed out, and Xiang Yongfu also grinned and laughed silently.
After they finished listening to the crosstalk, the tape jumped out with a "click!"
Liang Yinzhen was so scared that she cried out: "Xiangbei, Xiangbei, what's the problem that broke, and she didn't make any noise."
Xiangbei patiently taught his mother how to use the tape, repeatedly repeating the process of stopping, playing and changing faces. Liang Yinzhen is a smart person, and soon got started and had a lot of fun.
I learned new things slowly in Yongfu, and I couldn't understand it for a long time. I only knew to sit next to me and shout, "No more, turn around, turn around..."
Xiangbei teaches mothers how to tune the frequency and radio, and choose their favorite channel to listen.
Liang Yinzhen was so happy that she couldn't stop talking and spent the whole day tinkering with the recorder. She listened to storytelling, crosstalk, and music. The whole room was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
Tao Nanfeng saw Liang Yinzhen so happy for the first time. He smiled sweetly at Xiangbei and said, "You are so happy with this gift, look at how happy your parents are."
Xiangbei felt a little guilty: "Oh, I didn't expect my parents to feel lonely when they came to the new environment. Fortunately, my mother said what she wanted. So, it's much more lively for many tape recorders at home."
After a few days, Tao Nanfeng's belly began to swell like a blown balloon.
Five months ago, she was light and upright, and she didn't feel pregnant from behind. After five months, she suddenly became much older, which made Liang Yinzhen a little worried.
"I don't eat much, why did I suddenly get bigger?"
In the 1970s, prenatal examination was very simple, and there was no medical equipment such as B-ultrasound, and there was no system for maternal filing and card establishment. Tao Nanfeng has always been healthy and is very busy studying. Except for the first time, she had no idea of going to the hospital.
Now that my belly is getting bigger and bigger, I can see the protruding abdomen after just one week after lowering my head. My navel is almost flattened, and the muscles below my navel begin to appear fine white patterns. Tao Nanfeng is only a little worried.
Logically speaking, the fetus shouldn't grow so fast, right?
Tao Nanfeng pulled Liang Yinzhen to the room and lifted up his clothes to show her: "Mom, look at my belly, why are there suddenly spots on my bottom? Isn't it a bit scary?"
Liang Yinzhen touched her belly and comforted gently: "This is stretch mark. Women are pregnant in the later stages of pregnancy. Because their belly grows too fast and stretches too hard, such white lines will appear. Don't be afraid or not, every mother will have such lines. I will take some rapeseed oil to help you massage it, which will be relieved."
Tao Nanfeng understood as soon as he heard this. This was the damage caused by the fetus growing too fast, the abdominal muscles stretched too much, and the skin fibers broke. She frowned and asked, "Mom, how many months did you get stretch marks before?"
Seeing that she looked a little nervous, Liang Yinzhen hurriedly said, "It's early and late, usually starting from 5 or 6 months. You are six months pregnant now. It's normal for the baby to grow up quickly."
She thought about it and stroked Tao Nanfeng's belly again: "Your belly is growing fast this week, which is indeed very obvious. If you are worried, go to the hospital for a look. Ask the doctor if you want to ban your mouth and control your weight? Although I have experience, I definitely don't have the major of a doctor in a big city."
