Chapter 256 Pressure OR Power
Xiaowei said: "Aren't you cold? Go into the house, let's work on it tomorrow." Several people walked into the house, and the big light at the door of the boiler was turned on. Hao Xiaodong stood there with a shovel and looked over here, saying: " Is the little boss back?"

Xiaowei said: "Well, we are back, my parents are here, you can take my father with me tomorrow, and then go back there the day after tomorrow. My sister-in-law will be really angry if I don't go back." While talking, everyone approached.

Hao Xiaodong put down the shovel and said, "It's okay, it's been a day and a half, why is she angry. This is just here? Have you eaten yet?"

Xiaowei said to his father: "This is Brother Hao, and he will burn the boiler himself. Brother Hao, this is my father and mother, and this is my younger brother."

Xiaowei's father said hello to Hao Xiaodong, and Hao Xiaodong said: "Okay, you go into the house quickly, it's so cold, I'll push some coal." He picked up the shovel and ran to the coal pile.

Xiaowei led his parents to visit: "This is the kitchen, everything is ready, and you can cook when you come back from buying vegetables tomorrow. Oh yes, Mom, I will teach you how to use it tomorrow." His family is in the countryside, and he uses It's an earthen stove, and I haven't used liquefied gas or an electric rice cooker.

When he came out after watching the kitchen, Xiaowei pointed to the house and said: "This room is for eating, parents and you live in this room, the one next to it is mine, and the one next to it is Lao Xia and Xiao Hui, and the one at the top is the living room. Talking and drinking tea and so on, there are TVs in your house and living room, you can watch them anywhere."

Opening the door and entering the room, turning on the light, Xiaowei took off his shoes and put them on the floor, took out the slippers from the cabinet inside, and said, "You have to change your shoes when you enter the house, Xiaobing, do you hear me? If you don't change your shoes, you can't enter the house. There’s sand on it, and the floors are broken.”

Everyone changed their shoes and entered the house, stepped on the floor, looked at the cloth-wrapped walls, the big wooden bed with quilts, the cabinets and the TV set, Xiaowei's mother touched and looked around, feeling Immediately it became beautiful.

Xiaowei's mother unpacked the clothes she brought from her hometown, put them in the cabinet one by one, put the small things in the big drawer under the bed, Xiaowei's father sat on the edge of the bed, and Xiaowei three sat on the chairs by the window .The little soldier wandered around the house, looking at this and that, he even saw the TV at Uncle Wang's house a few days ago.

Xiaowei's father said: "This room is big, and it feels almost the same when it's empty. After tidying it up, it's half the size of our house. It's all made like this? Isn't this row so big?"

Chen Hui said: "It's so big. It turns out that this is the house of the army. One squad lives in this house. It can't be big."

Xiaowei's father said: "Then this row of houses is a row."

Chen Hui nodded and said, "Yes, one company. The communication company, only the communication company is required to live in a bungalow. This used to be a brigade headquarters."

Xiaobing came over and said, "Brother, brother, let's play TV, can you do it?"

Xiaowei's mother said: "Xiaobing, don't make trouble." Xiaowei stood up and went to turn on the TV, and taught Xiaobing how to switch and adjust.There is no remote control for color TVs at the moment, and there are [-] buttons to change the channel, but in reality it is not possible to receive so many channels.

Xiaowei's mother packed up her clothes, needles, threads, and brains, stood up and looked around, and said, "It always feels like a shortcoming."

Xiaowei just laughed and said, "It's fine if you get used to it after staying for two days. You just don't get used to the cold. Do you drink water at night? I'll boil some water for you. The teacup is in the drawer under the TV." Stand up Walking outside, Chen Hui said to Xia Maosheng: "Shall we go for a while?" Xia Maosheng stood up and said, "Let's go, no one is robbing today." The two changed their shoes and ran to the other side of the living room.

Xiaowei came out to the kitchen and lit the stove to boil water. The hot water in the boiler can be used for washing clothes, but it is not drinkable. He has to boil it himself. The water dispenser that Han San promised has not been seen yet.

Idle is also idle, here is boiling water, Xiaowei turned out the vegetables he brought back, put them on the plate, put the steamed buns in the steamer, then brushed the rice cooker, washed some rice, set the timer cook.Rice cookers with timer cooking function are not common these days, only imported ones are available.

A pot of water was not boiled, my mother opened the door and walked in, looked around in the kitchen, and finally stood by the stove and asked Xiaowei: "How do you use this?"

Xiaowei demonstrated it and asked his mother to try it again.My mother learned how to turn on the stove, and turned her head to count the pots and pans, always knowing what is there and what is not.

After counting the items, and studying the refrigerator and washing machine, the water on the stove finally boiled. Xiaowei bought a large pot, and one pot of water can fill three thermos pots.

Xiaowei poured water into the thermos, and his mother stood by and looked at it, saying, "This pot is too big, I can't carry it, is there any smaller one?"

Xiaowei said: "There are many thermos pots, so I bought a big one. After two days, the water dispenser will come and you won't have to boil it. The one will automatically boil the water."

Xiaowei's mother nodded and said, "That's very good. Why is the light on this rice cooker still on? Is this in Gaha?" Uncle Wang has a rice cooker at home, and my mother has seen it before.

Xiaowei said: "I just washed some rice in it, and tomorrow morning I will make some porridge and steamed buns, so don't move." Fill the thermos pot and plug it.

My mother said: "Is this pre-cooked for tomorrow morning? Is that okay?"

Xiaowei said: "This pot can be set at a certain time, but this one will not be boiled, and it will be cooked automatically at six o'clock tomorrow morning." He put down the kettle and walked over: "That's it, it's timed. You can set it for a few hours, and it will cook by itself when it's time." Just cook it, and people don’t need to worry about it.” At that time, the timing was a mechanical device, and the error was a bit large, but it didn’t matter, whoever made a meal was still 10 minutes behind the schedule.

My mother asked in a low voice, "How much did it cost to clean up here? I bought everything, so it didn't cost much."

Xiaowei said: "It doesn't count, the mess adds up, there are tens of thousands of yuan, not twenty thousand. Mom, now that I can earn money, you can just enjoy the blessings. If you lack money, let me take it. Don't use anything else. Thinking about it. I have me on the other side of my brother, and I will take care of it in the future." The mother smiled, came over and touched Xiaowei's face, and said, "My eldest son is promising. Okay, from now on, mother will take care of happiness and other things do not care."

The couple turned off the light in the kitchen and went back to the house with the thermos.The little brother is sitting on the bed watching TV, Xiaowei's father is not in the room, he must have gone to the living room.Xiaowei's mother took a basin to get water, and called to the younger brother: "Bing, come and wash your feet."

Watching the TV, Xiaobing slowly moved over and sat on the chair. Xiaowei's mother squatted down to take off his socks. Xiaowei grabbed his mother and said, "How old is he? Let him do it himself. Xiaobing, wash it yourself."

The younger brother glanced at his elder brother, said oh, took off his socks, and soaked his feet in the basin.

After Xiaowei's mother and younger brother washed their feet and went to bed, Xiaowei's father also came back, changed his shoes and entered the house, Xiaowei's mother asked, "Gah?"

Xiaowei's father said: "It's quite interesting to go to the first house to smoke a cigarette and watch them play such games."

Xiaowei's mother was making the quilt, nodded and said: "It's good, I will go out to smoke in the future, and the house will have less smell."

Xiaowei said: "This heating is sufficient. During the day, open the windows for a while to let in some air, so you don't always feel stuffy."

Xiaowei's father took a basin to get water, and said, "It's really warm, and you don't need to burn the kang, so you're blessed. Gathering firewood is more tiring than farming."

Xiaowei said: "That's all right, you guys pack up and go to sleep, I'm going back to the room. Dad, please lock the door." After changing his shoes, Xiaowei lit a cigarette and walked slowly to the living room.At this moment, his heart was very complicated, excited, a little proud, and a little apprehensive, full of hope for the future but also feeling confused. The arrival of his family suddenly increased the pressure in his heart.
