Chapter 187: Chinese New Year

The Friendship Store in Beijing is not as strict as before, and ordinary people can come and go at will.

Except for some things that are more expensive, most of them are about the same price as department stores.

Song Zhaodi entered the friendship store for the first time, and when she saw the white-skinned and yellow-haired person, she was so frightened that she didn't even dare to breathe.

"Little sister, what are you going to buy, the things in this place must not be cheap, right?"

She was a little dizzy just looking at the marble floor.

"There are many children in the family, and after a while, the three little ones are born again, and there are many things to wash, and the clothes are not easy to dry in cold weather, so buying a washing machine saves time and effort."

Song Zhaodi has never seen a washing machine, but she can guess what Lin Xi said, and the price is definitely not cheap.

The two came all the way to the home appliance area, where the home appliances are very complete.

Refrigerators, washing machines, televisions, most of them are imported.

After inquiring about the performance and price, Lin Xi fell in love with a washing machine, and the asking price was four hundred and eight.

Song Zhaodi, who heard the price, only felt that it was sky-high.

But she didn't intervene, after all, this was what Lin Xi decided.

Then Lin Xi took a fancy to a TV again, which was a color TV, and it was only 14 inches.

After asking about the price, I found out that the price of an ordinary black-and-white TV is between 400 and 500, but a color TV costs 1,002.

In a department store, the price of such a color TV is about 1,000, but there is no stock, so you can only go through internal channels.

Although the Friendship Store is premium, it is indeed in stock.

Of course, in her eyes, this TV can't be compared with the later LCD TV,But the family has a large population,And there is no entertainment,Usually watch TV,It's still necessary to relax everyone's mood。

And just this year, on Chinese New Year's Eve in February 1983, the first Spring Festival party was held.

It's also a good treat for the family to sit around and watch a unique party.

So, Lin Xi paid 1,700 yuan without hesitation.

The extra 20 is the cost of transportation, and when the time comes, people will send a car directly to the home.

Making money is for a better life, and Lin Xi's consistent purpose is to save the province and spend it.

After telling the other party's address and coming out of the friendship store, Lin Xi and Song Zhaodi went to a grocery store not far away.

She was a month old, and she had to gasp for a while, and her stomach was very uncomfortable, so after buying some food, the two went home.

Time flashed to the eve of the Spring Festival.

Shen Kang went to the faculty dormitory two days in advance to pick up Chen Guoqiang and Qin Wei'an.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone started to get busy early in the morning.

The women were busy preparing a sumptuous meal. Shen Kang and the two old men took the three small dots to the outside to paste couplets and blessing characters.

With the sound of crackling firecrackers, the old year is over and the new year is about to begin.

In the evening, the family sat around the table and watched the Spring Festival Gala on TV, and everyone had a cheerful smile on their faces.

The old and the young in the family, after eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, sat together and talked for a while, and then went back to the house to rest.

On the last day of the end of February, Lin Xi woke up early and was washing, when he suddenly felt a pain in his abdomen, and the towel in his hand fell to the ground.

She turned her head to look at the others, Song Zhaodi and Wang Xiuqin were making breakfast, Fan Xiumei was pouring water into the thermos with a kettle, Chen Guoqiang and Qin Wei'an were arguing over which car to take back for a while, and Mrs. Shen pointed to Xiao Hei who was urinating on the ground and scared him to throw him into the pot tomorrow to stew......

Looking at everyone, Lin Xi silently closed his open mouth again.

After enduring the pain, she squatted down and picked up the towel from the ground and hung it on the basin stand, waited until Fan Xiumei put the kettle away, then walked to her side and whispered, "Mom, I seem to be giving birth to ......"

"What? Going to give birth? ”

Fan Xiumei exclaimed in surprise, subconsciously about to run towards the house, thinking that something was wrong, turning her head to ask about Lin Xi's situation, there were so many things piled up in her mind that she couldn't tell the order for a while.

"Mother-in-law, Xiaoxi is about to give birth-"

Her voice succeeded in getting everyone's idea.

Everyone's movements were sluggish for a moment, and then they all ran to Lin Xi's side at once: "Third daughter-in-law, do you have a stomachache?" ”

"Quick, I'll go get the things I packed before."

"Are you really going to give birth? I'm going to warm up the car, don't worry, soon, soon. Chen Guoqiang was so excited that he even helped the door frame when he went out.

Qin Wei'an leaned on crutches and asked repeatedly: "What do you need me to do, and what else are there, don't forget to bring it." ”

"Eh, don't follow the blind mix if you have bad legs and feet, just stay at home and take care of the house."

"Big, the three children will trouble you to help watch the dots." Song Zhaodi hurriedly said to Mrs. Shen, carrying the burden in one hand and Lin Xi in the other, and walked outside.

"Oh, hat, hat is not worn yet, don't blow the wind." Wang Xiuqin chased after Lin Xi and wrapped her hat tightly.

"Mom, don't be too nervous, I'm fine." Until the car, Lin Xi was still comforting everyone.

"Yes, yes, not nervous." Fan Xiumei tried to take a deep breath, but the hands on her knees were trembling slightly.

Everyone arrived at the hospital, and soon the doctor examined Lin Xi, and determined that it was a chattel, and he was about to enter the operating room.

"Quick, go and call the third child, what's that, there's a phone in the communication room on the first floor, hurry up!"

Song Zhaodi responded and ran downstairs.

Not long after Shen Kang arrived in the army, he heard that Zhang Guoan called him, grabbed his clothes and was about to go over, when the phone on the table suddenly rang urgently.

"Hello?"

……

Lin Xi never thought that her stomach would hurt so much during childbirth, and as the stomach pain intensified, it seemed to rain on her head, and beads of sweat kept falling.

"I can't wait any longer, the mother's amniotic water has already broken, and the fetus may be suffocated later, this is an informed consent form, and the family should sign it."

Looking at the informed consent form brought by the nurse, Fan Xiumei and Wang Xiuqin were a little confused.

"This, isn't this just giving birth to a child, why is it still dangerous?"

"Every operation is dangerous, so hurry up and sign it."

Wang Xiuqin didn't dare to sign it, so she handed the pen to Fan Xiumei.

"My daughter will be fine, will she?" She has never encountered this before, and if she really wants to sign it, she doesn't know if it will have any impact on her daughter.

The little nurse was about to speak, when there was a sound of hurried footsteps in the corridor, and a tall figure hurried over.

"Mom, I'll come."
