When he returned home, what surprised Wang Weidong was that Yang Maixiang seemed to have known that he was coming back.
The table was filled with plates of exquisite dishes and a bottle of Maotai wine.
Yang Maixiang brought a hot towel and handed it to Wang Weidong: "Here, wipe your face first. I bought a bottle of good wine today. You haven't been back for a long time. Let's have a drink."
Yang Maixiang also drinks, and his drinking capacity is quite large.
Wang Weidong wiped his face, sat at the dinner table, picked up the bottle of wine and said with a smile: "Aren't we planning to have a baby? You can't drink alcohol during pregnancy preparation. It's not good for children."
"Ah?! Really? If you don't drink anymore, I'll throw it away." Yang Maixiang picked up the bottle like a bomb, ran to the door and threw the bottle into the trash can.
But he was stopped by Wang Weidong: "...The wine doesn't go bad. After I give birth, I can continue drinking. Is there any need to waste it so much?"
"Ah...Am I a little stupid?" Yang Maixiang's face turned red with embarrassment, and she held the wine bottle tightly in her arms.
"A little bit, but I like it." Wang Weidong.
One day and one night.
Three poles in the sun.
When Wang Weidong woke up from his sleep, Yang Maixiang had already cooked.
She got a basin of cold water, rolled up her sleeves, exposed her fair and slender arms, and was washing clothes in the basin.
The little hands that were red with cold made Wang Weidong feel distressed.
Getting up from the bed and getting dressed, Wang Weidong walked over and took Yang Maixiang's hand.
"What are you doing! Don't be ridiculous. Clothes are not easy to dry in winter. I have to wash them out quickly."
"Come, come, let me show you something good."
Wang Weidong pulled Yang Maixiang into the main room and pointed to a large cardboard box as tall as a person.
"Look at what's written on the box."
The box was delivered by Liu Changshun. Yang Maixiang knew it belonged to Wang Weidong, so he kept it in the main room.
There are also several large cardboard boxes on the ground, which have not been opened either.
In this family, Yang Maixiang would not open Wang Weidong's things unless she got permission. This was the experience of getting along with husband and wife that Yang's mother taught her before getting married.
Men also have privacy. As a wife, if you want to keep the family harmonious, you must respect the man's privacy.
Yang Maixiang thinks so.
At this time, after listening to Wang Weidong's words, he carefully looked at the big box.
"Fully automatic pulsator washing machine."
"What is a washing machine?" Yang Maixiang raised her cute little face and asked in confusion.
Oh, look, this is the difference in Ningzhou City.
In Ningzhou City, due to the existence of a television factory, most residents know about televisions.
However, there is still no concept of washing machines, the most commonly used household appliances in later generations.
"A washing machine is naturally a machine for washing clothes. You throw the clothes into the washing machine, twist the button, and wait for ten or twenty minutes, and the clothes will be cleaned automatically."
"This, this is amazing!"
Yang Maixiang looked at the cardboard box as if she were seeing a treasure. As a female comrade, the most painful thing is not cooking or waiting on men, but doing laundry in winter.
In the winter, the wind is biting and the dripping water turns into ice. It takes some courage to dip your hands into the cold water and rub the clothes.
"I just don't have to go to work this morning, so I just want to give you the instructions for how to use it. You won't have to wash it by hand in the future."
Wang Weidong opened the cardboard box as he spoke.
Seeing the white washing machine, Yang Maixiang fell in love with it instantly.
Since there was only a faucet next to the sink in the courtyard, the two had no choice but to move the washing machine to the sink.
"Go and get all the dirty clothes and sheets from home."
Wang Weidong took out the water pipe that he had prepared long ago and connected one end of the pipe to the faucet and the other end to the washing machine.
"Okay!" Yang Maixiang agreed, like a cheerful
Like a little white rabbit, it ran into the house.
At this time, residents passing by also noticed the movement and gathered around.
The eldest sister-in-law of the Zhou family asked curiously: "Hong Chang, what is this? It's square and square. You connected it to the water pipe, aren't you afraid that it will get damaged? Hey, why are there still wires? I said Hong Chang, you You have to be careful. Electrician Liu from the neighborhood said that water can conduct electricity, so it’s too dangerous for you to do this.”
Wang Weidong strengthened the water pipe and explained: "Sister-in-law, this thing is called a washing machine. It is specially used to wash clothes. Its interior is waterproof and discharge-resistant, so it will not leak electricity."
"Washing machine? A machine for washing clothes? Oh dear, do you still have this thing?"
"Then when you wash clothes from now on, do you think you won't have to wash them by hand?"
"Hong Chang, you are dishonest. Just throw your clothes in and you will be clean. Who would believe it?"
"That's right, clothes can only be washed by hand!"
....
Outside the crowd, He Wenhui had long seen Wang Weidong tinkering with the washing machine, but she was too embarrassed to get close.
Yu Qiuhua's call came from inside the house: "Wen Hui, where did you die? I haven't taken my medicine yet. Please pour me a glass of boiling water."
"Here we come." He Wenhui glanced reluctantly, turned around and ran into the house.
Seeing He Wenda sitting on the ground playing, she was a little dissatisfied: "Mom, I was watching the fun outside! Wenda is here, why don't you let him pour you tea."
Yu Qiuhua pouted: "Wen Da is so young, what if he gets scalded by boiling water?"
He Wenhui glanced at He Wenda, who would go to junior high school next semester, shook her head helplessly, picked up the rusty thermos, poured a glass of boiling water, and brought it to Yu Qiuhua.
Then, he helped her take out the medicine from the cardboard box: "Mom. Take the medicine."
Yu Qiuhua seemed to realize her dissatisfaction from He Wenhui's tone. She pursed her lips and explained: "Wenhui, Wen Da is still young. As a sister, you have to take care of him. You can't just do a little work. If you're in a mood, if my eyes were good, you wouldn't have to do all this work."
He Wenhui could only swallow her dissatisfaction and whispered: "Mom, you are right, my brother is still young, I have to let him."
Yu Qiuhua nodded with satisfaction, swallowed the medicine and said, "It's so lively outside, what's going on?"
He Wenhui took the enamel tub and whispered, "Liu Hongchang bought a washing machine and is helping Yang Maixiang wash clothes."
"Washing machine? What is that?" When Yu Qiuhua heard Liu Hongchang's name, his face suddenly darkened.
Now He Wenyuan and He Wentao are squatting in the fence, all thanks to Liu Hongchang.
Every time he thought about it, Yu Qiuhua would secretly curse in his heart, Damn Liu Hongchang!
He Wenhui is a young man and a college student, and his knowledge is much higher than that of ordinary residents.
Many of her classmates are in college, and from the letters she communicated with them, He Wenhui knew the purpose of the washing machine.
However, in those letters and classmates' descriptions, washing machines were a high-end product that only some big leaders had in their homes even in the capital.
When he saw the excited expressions of the washing machine and Yang Maixiang, He Wenhui regretted it extremely.
If she had not divorced Liu Hongchang, she would be the one using the washing machine now.
I really regret it!
He Wenhui suppressed the sadness in her heart and explained the functions of the washing machine to Yu Qiuhua.
Yu Qiuhua's gray hair stood on end with anger: "Damn Liu Hongchang, he only thinks about himself. Why don't you give our family a good thing like a washing machine! My old lady can't wash clothes, you are a college student We can’t always do such rough work, so it’s just right to give it to our family!”
Although Yu Qiuhua was scolding, there was nothing he could do against Wang Weidong now.
He Wenhui also knew this and whispered: "Mom, I'm going to do some work."
"Go, I'm so angry now, I have to lie down for a while." Yu Qiuhua stood up and lay on the bed, breathing heavily.
....
He Wenhui went out quietly, but she was not busy, but stood under the big locust tree at the door and watched Wang Weidong and Yang Maixiang use the washing machine.
She was thinking how great it would be if she was the one using the washing machine now!
While everyone was watching, Wang Weidong gently turned the knob, and there was a roar in the washing machine. After two beeps, water was injected into the washing machine from the water pipe.
"Damn it, this thing can also fill in water automatically."
"Of course, this is high technology!"
Everyone had never seen a washing machine, let alone a fully automatic washing machine. They were all so amazed by the magic of the washing machine that their eyeballs almost fell out.
He Wenhui looked at Yang Maixiang who was standing next to the washing machine and accepting compliments from the residents, and felt an unspeakable pain in her heart.
He bit his lip and returned home dejectedly.
Yu Qiuhua felt very angry when he heard the rumbling sound coming from the yard.
Why can Liu Hongchang use a washing machine?
It stands to reason that their family is the one who has the most difficult life in the compound. Good things like a washing machine should be given to his family.
Ouch, I can't help it anymore, my heart hurts!
...
Although Wang Weidong has provided the principles and complete set of technologies for making graphene, limited by laboratory conditions, the experimental team led by Wang Weidong has not been able to successfully produce it.
Wang Weidong is not in a hurry. After all, there is the cash milk of Orchid TV Factory, and the laboratory is not short of scientific research funds.
In the following period, Wang Weidong spent most of his time in the laboratory.
He also took the time to attend an award ceremony held in the city, became a model worker, and showed his face on TV.
The days are like streams, quietly slipping away from your fingers. Even if you want to catch them, you can't catch them.
After another failed experiment, Wang Weidong returned home tiredly.
As soon as he entered the door, he was pulled into the back room by Yang Maixiang.
"Brother Hong Chang, I, I might be pregnant!" Yang Maixiang's little face was filled with excitement from the bottom of her heart.
Wang Weidong's eyes widened suddenly.
In fact, he was a little worried during this time.
The two have been married for so long, but Yang Maixiang is still not pregnant. Is there something wrong?
Yang Maixiang nodded heavily, and the stone in her heart fell to the ground: "Sister Xiaolin and I went to the hospital for a check-up today."
As she spoke, she also took out the test sheet.
Wang Weidong looked at the doctor's comments on the test sheet and began to think.
Yang Maixiang is pregnant, has to go to work, and has to take care of him, which is indeed a bit hard.
In this case, it is better to move to Dalanzi.
Now that my nephew is five or six months old, my sister-in-law can take care of him by herself.
With Da Lanzi taking care of her, Yang Maixiang will feel more relaxed.
Wang Weidong told Yang Maixiang what he was thinking.
Yang Maixiang immediately agreed. After getting to know each other for such a long time, she knew clearly that Da Lanzi seemed to be fierce, but in fact he was very soft at heart.
Besides, Liu Hongchang has not separated his family yet, so it is not a problem for him to always live in the He family compound.
Might as well take this opportunity to move back.
After the two reached an agreement, Wang Weidong immediately began to arrange the move.
That afternoon, the TV factory sent two large trucks and a dozen porters.
Wang Weidong's house didn't have much furniture, so it was all moved out quickly.
Some residents who liked to watch the excitement asked curiously when they saw Wang Weidong moving: "Hong Chang, what are you doing?"
"Ah, Sixth Aunt, no, Mai Xiang is pregnant, and I don't know how to take care of others, so I just want to move back home so that my family can take care of me."
"Yes, a woman should be careful when she is pregnant for the first time."
.....
Wang Weidong moving and Yang Maixiang
The news of the pregnancy spread throughout the compound instantly, like it had wings.
While most people expressed congratulations, they also felt sorry in their hearts.
With Wang Weidong gone, they no longer have free TV to watch.
The He family has obviously different opinions.
He Wenhui went to work. When He Wenda told Yu Qiuhua the news, Yu Qiuhua sat up from the bed.
"Okay, okay, damn Liu Hongchang is finally moving out!"
While she was excited, she suddenly came up with a good idea: "Since Liu Hongchang has moved away, his house will remain idle, so why not give it to our family?"
She patted He Wenda's hand and said, "Come on, son, Mom will buy you a house!"
He Wenda was so happy that he helped Yu Qiuhua walk to the yard.
At this time, Wang Weidong was directing the workers to move furniture and saw Yu Qiuhua, but did not pay attention.
He has nothing to do with the He family now, so he doesn't need to care about the He family.
He Wenda walked up to Wang Weidong excitedly: "Big Tou Liu, give me your house!"
These words immediately confused Wang Weidong. He rubbed his ears: "What? What did you say?"
Yu Qiuhua is still a little polite when he asks Wang Weidong for help. She pulled He Wenda back and said with a smile: "Hong Chang, since you left, this house has become idle. My family lacks a house to live in. Why don't you do a good deed and give the house to my family. I will be grateful to you. .”
Good guy, I have seen people begging for food and money, but I have never seen people asking for a house.
Wang Weidong was stabbed with a knife and opened his eyes.
"Auntie He, don't you have a beautiful idea? If you want a house, you can give it five thousand yuan. I will give the house to you."
"You, if you don't want to give it, just say it. You know that I don't have five thousand yuan at home. Isn't this embarrassing my old lady!" After Yu Qiuhua's request was rejected, he suddenly became furious.
Wang Weidong smiled "hehe": "You have no money, you have the nerve to speak. Besides, now He Wenyuan and He Wentao are squatting in the fence. Even if your family has a house, no one will live in it!"
As soon as he said these words, Yu Qiuhua felt the anger in his heart rising. The smell of blood filled his throat, and he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
"You, you, you are so vicious!"
At this time, Wang Weidong saw that the workers had finished moving the furniture and was too lazy to discuss the issue with Yu Qiuhua. He took out a big iron lock and locked it on the door.
Ignoring Yu Qiuhua again, he walked away.
Yu Qiuhua looked at his back, a vicious light bursting out of his eyes.
Wang Weidong, I’m not done with you!
