Chapter 151 Watching a Movie

This afternoon.

Deng Yuntai came back from the tile factory, and he took his wife into the room, took out a stack of money and handed it to her, saying with a smile: "Pingmei, the tile factory paid you today, you can save it."

Zhang Xiuping happily took the money and asked with a smile, "Brother Tai, how much money did you get this month?"

Deng Yuntai said proudly: "232."

Zhang Xiuping leaned over and kissed him, praising him: "Brother Tai, you are awesome!"

Deng Yuntai chuckled, then hugged his wife and kissed her for a long time before he said contentedly, "Then I'll go out first. You quickly save the money and come out for dinner."

Zhang Xiuping responded, and waited until her husband left before she took out the key to open her dowry box. She lifted up a corner of the cloth inside the box and saw that it was filled with large amounts of cash and various small change. These were the bottom box money her father-in-law gave her and the wages her husband gave her.

The total amount was close to 1,000 yuan, and now with the addition of this 232 yuan, her savings exceeded 1,200 yuan.

Only four months after getting married, she had a savings of 1,200 yuan. If this news were to spread, it would probably cause a huge sensation in the village.

The fact that her father-in-law and husband gave her so much money to save shows their trust in her.

After putting the money away and locking the box, Zhang Xiuping went out to have dinner with a smile on her face.

In addition to the fried pork and a few vegetables for dinner, there was also a clay pot of soybean and pig's trotter soup specially stewed for her.

Ever since Zhang Xiuping became pregnant, her father-in-law said he would make soup for her every day, and that was not just talk.

From the day they knew she was pregnant, the family had a fresh stew every day, including old hen soup, duck soup, mutton soup, peanut pork bone soup, soybean pig's trotter soup, etc. All kinds of delicious soups were cooked for her in rotation, making Zhang Xiuping feel very happy.

She didn't know whether those well-off young wives in the city received such treatment, but she had never heard of any pregnant woman in the countryside receiving the same treatment as she did.

Originally, while enjoying this super high treatment, she was still a little worried that if the baby in her belly was not a son but a daughter, her father-in-law and husband would be unhappy. However, after she knew about A Zhangqi's situation, her worries were swept away.

After all, my father-in-law has made it very clear that a woman is just a piece of land. Whatever seeds a man sows on it will determine what will grow. Therefore, whether to have a boy or a girl is not decided by women, but by men.

Zhang Xiuping really feels so lucky to have such an open-minded father-in-law! …

The next day.

After school at noon, Deng Yunhua ran back panting, and then shouted excitedly: "The team is going to show a movie tonight!"

Deng Yunzhen's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she quickly asked, "Xiaohua, who told you this? Is it true?"

Deng Yunhua kept panting and said, "Now many people are talking about this in the brigade. I heard it when I came back from school. It must be true."

Deng Yunzhen said in surprise: "Sister-in-law, we can go to the movies tonight!"

Zhang Xiuping couldn't help but get excited when she heard that.

In this day and age, from the elderly to children, few people can resist the temptation of watching movies.

However, before Zhang Xiuping could express her opinion, Deng Shirong immediately took over the conversation and said, "Ah Zhen, your sister-in-law is pregnant now. She can't go to the movies. It's too dangerous to go to the movies in the middle of the night with so many people around."

Deng Yunzhen finally reacted and said with some annoyance: "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I forgot that you were pregnant."

Zhang Xiuping couldn't help but laugh and said, "Don't even mention you. Even I forgot I was pregnant when I heard the news that the brigade was showing a movie."

For Deng Shirong, who has been bombarded with movies and short videos of later generations, movies of this era are really of little interest, but he also understands how attractive watching movies is for people of this era.

In order not to disappoint his eldest daughter-in-law, Deng Shirong made a promise: "Sister Ping, you are pregnant this time, so it is really not easy to squeeze in with others. When the baby is born and the full moon banquet is held, I will invite someone to come to our house to show movies for three consecutive nights. You will definitely enjoy it."

Zhang Xiuping was surprised and delighted by her father-in-law's words, but she still shook her head and said, "Dad, that would cost a lot of money. It's not necessary."

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Of course it's necessary. This is my first grandson, so I have to celebrate it."

Zhang Xiuping reached out and touched her belly which was not yet visible, and she couldn't hide the smile on her face.

As they were talking, Deng Yunzhu, Deng Yunsong and Deng Yunheng also came back. They had obviously heard the news that the team was going to show a movie tonight, and they were all very excited.

Similar scenes are also happening in different families.

In just a few hours, the news that the brigade would show movies in the evening spread throughout the Bangjie Brigade.

In this age of extreme lack of entertainment, watching a movie is as important as celebrating the New Year for rural people.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

So, on this day, families who planned to go to the movies did not drink white porridge at home, but cooked rice instead.

Drinking porridge will cause more urination. Nowadays, movies are always crowded, and it is not easy to squeeze out to go to the toilet. Therefore, experienced villagers know that if they want to watch a movie well, they have to cook dinner.

And today, every family had dinner very early.

Although the movie was not shown until the evening, some people came early with stools to reserve seats.

Deng Shirong's family also had dinner very early today.

After dinner, when he saw his children grabbing stools and preparing to grab seats, Deng Shirong said to his fourth son, "Xiaohua, do you have money to buy a ticket?"

In this day and age, watching movies doesn’t just have to be paid for in the cinema, you also have to pay to watch it in the village.

If you want to watch free movies, it can only be done when there is a happy event in someone's family, such as a wedding, a child's full moon, or a birthday, and then they will specially spend money to invite people to come and show movies to celebrate, so that everyone can watch free movies.

There is another situation, that is, a production team pays someone to come to the village to show a movie, and then people from other villages rush over to watch it. Then for the people from other villages, watching the movie is free.

Today's movie was not paid for by any production team, so admission is required.

Of course, the tickets are not expensive, just a few cents, and most people can afford it, it just depends on whether you are willing to spend it.

Deng Yunhua's grades were not good, and he had never received a reward from his father for studying. However, he received a lot of red envelopes during the Chinese New Year, and he occasionally tried to cheat the rich man Lao Wu, so he still had some spare money. He nodded and said, "Dad, I have money to buy tickets."

Deng Shirong hummed, and then told his eldest children, "Ah Zhen, keep an eye on them."

"Got it, Dad!"
