Chapter 2 A Dream in My Heart: I Sacrifice Oil for the Motherland
I saw that as soon as Wei Ying entered the house, Wei Ying's father, who was watching TV, stood up,
He asked Wei Ying with joy and said:
"My baby daughter, which unit did you choose when you went to the Weiyang Lake Double Selection Job Fair today?"
After Wei Ying entered the door, she changed her shoes and thought in her heart:
Since, I have chosen, the same work unit as my father,
Well, the father will surely be happy,
After all, does a woman inherit her father's business?
After speaking, Wei Ying couldn't help but snicker in her heart.
However, before Wei Ying could answer her father's words,
Wei Ying's mother walked out of the kitchen again,
She wiped the flour from her hand on her apron, and with great pleasure, asked:
"Kid, which unit did you choose?"
Wei Ying looked at her smiling mother, and she thought to herself:
Throughout her life, her mother was particularly supportive of her father, who worked in the drilling team.
Moreover, every time my father left home and went up the mountain to work in the drilling team, my mother had to tell me a thousand times that when I let my father work, he must be serious, but don't think about me and my children all day long......
Now, when she chooses the drilling team, my mother will definitely be very happy.
So, Wei Ying was very proud and told her parents about her choice.
I saw that Wei Ying was very confident and arrogant, and said:
"Mom, Dad, I have good news for you. I chose the drilling team very resolutely at the double selection job fair in Weiyang Lake......"
After speaking, Wei Ying looked forward to her parents, happy and even excited about her choice......
However, Wei Ying was surprised to find that her mother, who was smiling just now, suddenly had no color on her face.
My father, who was full of joy just now, suddenly, his face was clouded.
Couldn't help but ask herself:
Could it be that my father and mother are happy and sad because they have chosen too correctly?
However, before Wei Ying could react,
Wei Ying's mother frowned, wiped her tears, and said:
"Son, your father has been in the drilling team and has worked all his life, and I have been worried and worried all my life. Why are you choosing the drilling team again? You father and daughter, you still make me, a housewife, unable to live?"
Listening to her mother's words, Wei Ying was simply stunned.
However, before Wei Ying could ask her mother why.
Suddenly with tears in his eyes, the father said:
"Daughter, if you go to the drilling team, it's better for me to open a supermarket for you at the gate of our community, and you can sell goods......"
Wei Ying listened to her parents' words, and then looked at her parents' expressions, she was both surprised and frightened, and said:
"Mom, Dad, what's wrong with you? Aren't you happy that I chose the drilling team?"
Wei Ying's mother suddenly wiped her tears and said:
"Your father, in the drilling team, has worked all his life, big and small, and has been injured more than a dozen times...... Now, you are on the drilling team, and your father and me, how can we let go of our hearts? Besides, we have a daughter like you?"
Wei Ying's father took out a cigarette from his pocket, he smoked it sadly, and said:
"I've been in the drilling team all my life...... I know, drilling is hard. To be honest, as a father, I only think about my daughter, who will work comfortably in the future, not hard, not tired, as for whether I can earn money or not, I don't care if I have a future, I just want my daughter, easy work......"
Listening to her parents' words, Wei Ying was speechless.
Wei Ying didn't expect that her parents would be so worried because she chose the drilling team.
So, Wei Ying comforted her parents and said:
"Dad, Mom, don't worry, my daughter, I've grown up. Now, I'm a twenty-three-year-old girl. Even if the work of the drilling team is hard, even if the working environment of the drilling team is bad, I will find a way to overcome it...... After all, I am a child of the oil field, and I grew up in our oil field family dean. Moreover, every summer vacation, my father would take me to the drilling team where he worked. Since I was a child, I have been very fond of the drilling team, and I dream that one day, when I grow up, I can become a glorious driller and dedicate oil to the motherland. ”
Listening to his daughter's words, Wei Ying's father pinched his nose and said:
"Daughter, not Dad, won't let you go to the drilling team. It's just that Dad thinks the drilling team is too hard, and Dad doesn't want you to work, so hard...... Daddy wants you to work, relaxed, happy. ”
Wei Ying stepped forward, hugged her father, then smiled and said:
"Dad, I've known since I was a kid that the drilling team is hard. However, if everyone does not go to work in the drilling team because of the hardships of the drilling team, then who will drill the wells and who will give oil to the motherland?"
Wei Ying's mother sat on the sofa and said:
"Kid, the work of the drilling team is sometimes very dangerous, I'm afraid that something will happen after you go...... After all, your dad and I are the only child......"
Wei Ying comforted her mother and said:
"Mom, it's okay, I'll definitely pay attention to it when I get on the drilling team. Besides, the current drilling team, compared with the previous drilling team, I don't know how many times safer......"
When Wei Ying's parents saw their daughter Wei Ying's resolute determination,
They also went from disagreeing to not expressing their opinions.
Wei Ying continued:
"Dad, Mom, our work in the oil industry is already hard...... Moreover, the working environment is in the wild, which is also particularly harsh...... I've known this since I was a child. However, after graduating from university, the reason why I did not choose to stay in the city to work, but chose to go back to the oil field, join the drilling team, and go to the field to work was because of the dream in my heart, and I dedicated oil to the motherland......"
Listening to his daughter's dream, Wei Ying's father rubbed his eyes,
He wiped the tears from his eyes and said:
"Daughter, as long as you have a dream, then, Dad supports you to achieve it. However, if you go to the drilling team, if you feel hard, you can call me and Dad will find a way for you......"
Wei Ying's father, Wei Dongbo, is an old oilman.
He took the college entrance examination three times, namely in December of '77, June of '78, and June of '79.
In the end, he was admitted to Changqing Petroleum School with the sixteenth place in science in the county, so as to go out of the countryside and become a glorious oil worker.
Wei Ying's mother is a housewife.
She and Wei Ying's father have been married to each other since childhood.
So, after becoming adults, the two got married, and then had Wei Ying.
However, because of oil work, I am always in the field, and I can't go home a few times a year.
Therefore, Wei Ying's mother, almost alone, grew up with Wei Ying and took care of her to live and study.
Now, Wei Ying has finally grown up and graduated from college.
Wei Ying's mother originally thought that her daughter would stay in the provincial capital to work and would accompany her.
However, she did not expect that in order to realize my dream of dedicating oil to the motherland, her daughter still gave up the privileged life and work in the city, and chose to return to the oil field and work in the wild environment in the mountains.
Moreover, what Wei Ying's mother didn't expect was that her daughter Wei Ying would choose the most difficult drilling industry in the oilfield industry at the double-selection job fair.
Now, when Wei Ying's mother faced her daughter, who was about to go to work in the drilling team, she was very reluctant.
And Wei Ying's father, who has worked in the mountains of northern Shaanxi all his life, doesn't know where his daughter will be assigned to drill wells.
Compared with the sorrow and concern of her parents, Wei Ying is full of confidence in her heart.
She knew that she was going up the mountain and going to work in the field.
She not only has to challenge herself, but also to realize the dream in her heart, that is, my dream of dedicating oil to the motherland.
