Chapter 81 The Woman's Shock
Whether in this era or in the future, the importance of a house in marriage is unquestionable.
Especially in later generations, when many mothers-in-law are looking for sons-in-law, the first condition is that the man must have a house. If he doesn’t have a house, there is no need to continue the discussion and waste everyone’s time.
Although the obsession with houses is not as outrageous as in later generations, the woman still attaches great importance to the man's house. This is the origin of the door-viewing. At least the woman should know whether she has a place to live after marrying into your family, or whether the living quality is good? Are there one or two decent furniture? At this time, the Zhang family and their group began to visit the house under the leadership of Deng Shirong.
As for the man's house, the Zhang family had already heard a detailed description from Zhang's father, who said it was a very grand house with large blue bricks and tiles.
But Zhang's father had only stood by the small river at the entrance of the village and looked into the distance. At that time, the house had not yet been covered with tiles, and the overall effect had not yet been fully revealed. He only knew that the man's house was a very imposing blue brick and tile house, but he didn't know what the layout of the house was like or what kind of furniture was matched.
Now, after seeing this "magnificent" blue brick and tile house, the Zhang family was completely conquered by it.
To be honest, even if there is no furniture in these connected houses, just based on their extremely magnificent appearance, the man's family conditions are unparalleled in the countryside.
When Deng Shirong took them inside to visit the house, the Zhang family was shocked again! "This is my Yuntai's house. I designed it with two bedrooms, a living room and a bathroom. This one is their wedding room, and this one is temporarily designated as a guest room. When we have children in the future, we will let the children sleep in this room. This is the bathroom, which is used for taking a shower and going to the toilet.
As for the kitchen, we won’t build a separate one, because no matter now or after my sons get married, we all eat together as a family, so there’s no need to build a kitchen in each house to take up space.”
As Deng Shirong introduced one by one, every one of the Zhang family members was shocked.
First of all, let’s talk about the wedding room. The bunk bed with a wedding pattern on it looks very high-end. The large wardrobe next to it has a mirror. It can be said to be the most high-end wardrobe that can be seen in the countryside in this era.
In addition, the dressing table is also very eye-catching. Most of the people who come to the bride's side are lesbians. Who doesn't want to have a dressing table of their own? This wedding room is so beautiful! Zhang Xiuping, the heroine who looks after the house, is also shocked. Thinking that after she gets married, she can live in such a house and have such high-end furniture, her heart becomes hot.
No matter what era it is, material things are the foundation of marriage.
The story of a young lady eloping with a poor scholar and then loving each other for a lifetime can only appear in ancient times when women were brainwashed. Women at that time valued being faithful to one man, and many women would humble themselves to please their husbands even if they were not happy after marriage.
But to be honest, can those women who have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation all day long after marriage really love their husbands for the rest of their lives?
In later generations, at least nine out of ten quarrels between couples are over money.
Therefore, a marriage without a material foundation, no matter how good the relationship is, will gradually be worn away by the hard life and eventually the two sides will get tired of each other.
Of course, good material conditions do not necessarily mean a happy marriage.
But it is undeniable that the probability of a happy marriage for couples with good material conditions is much higher than for couples without material conditions.
Whether it's a man looking at a woman or a woman looking at a man, they will silently give each other a score in their hearts.
For example, if a woman is beautiful, has a good figure, is well-behaved and sensible, these are all plus points in the eyes of men. And if a man is rich, has a high social status, is talented, etc., these are also plus points in the eyes of women.
In fact, whether you are a man or a woman, the better your strengths are, the more tolerant the other person will be of your other shortcomings.
At this time, Zhang Xiuping occasionally glanced at Deng Yuntai, and she felt that his ordinary face became more and more pleasing to the eye!
Zhang Xiuping's eldest cousin is named Jiang Xiaohui. Jiang Xiaohui is 27 years old this year. She got married six years ago, but the man she married was from an ordinary rural family. Now the couple has three children, and the family of five can only squeeze into one room, which is a dilapidated mud brick house.
Such living conditions were not uncommon in this era, so although Jiang Xiaohui had lived an extremely hard life, she did not dislike her husband's family too much. After all, the conditions in her parents' home were not much better.
But we should be afraid of comparison in everything. In the past, the relatives and friends around Jiang Xiaohui were not in good conditions, so she could naturally keep herself calm.
But now seeing that her cousin's partner's family conditions are so good, Jiang Xiaohui would be lying if she said she was not envious. However, although she is envious, she is not jealous of her cousin. She is not the kind of person who can't stand her relatives living better than her, but she is no longer willing to let her family of five squeeze into the same room.
After she returns, she will talk to her husband about it. Now that the children are getting older, it is really not appropriate for a family of five to squeeze into one room. No matter how difficult it is, they have to build two houses and move out.
Sisters Ou Guofang and Ou Guohua, who were accompanying Zhang Xiuping, also looked at the wedding room with envy, imagining that if they could live in a house like this when they got married, then their lives would not have been lived in vain!
After being shocked by the wedding room, the Zhang family felt much calmer after seeing the guest room.
The room had a plain canopy bed and a large wardrobe without a mirror, nothing else.
In fact, with such a large wardrobe, this guest room is already better than the wedding rooms of many families. However, with the wedding room as a precedent, the guest room is naturally much inferior.

However, just when the Zhang family had calmed down a little, they were shocked again by the bathroom.
In the rural areas of Bobai, people nowadays basically use the village public toilets for defecation, which are the Shit Lake mentioned earlier.
The Longtan Commune was naturally no exception. The beautiful girl Zhang Xiuping was not the fairy in later generations who didn't poop. She also had to go to the toilet. Needless to say, when she was young, it was natural. Ever since she grew up, she was terrified every time she went to the toilet.
On the one hand, people are afraid of falling into the lake of shit. This kind of thing is not without precedent. Once you fall into the lake of shit, it is not as simple as getting covered in shit and urine. You may very likely lose your life.
On the other hand, I was afraid that a man would break in. The mere thought of that scene would be embarrassing.
Therefore, after Zhang Xiuping grew to be thirteen or fourteen years old, she would take Ou Guofang or Ou Guohua with her every time she went to the toilet. This way, there would be someone guarding outside, and she wouldn't have to worry about men or other people breaking in!
But the unpleasant smell of Shit Lake is unavoidable.
This bathroom in front of me not only solves the embarrassing problem of going to the toilet, but also saves you from having to smell that disgusting smell. It is really perfect!
