Chapter 108: The Oil Family

The days of winter rest are pleasant,

When Wei Ying took the bus and returned to the provincial capital Xi'an, the days of winter rest officially began.

Every winter, it is also Wei Ying's happiest day,

Because, my father will also work for a year in the drilling team, come home and take a vacation.

Wei Ying still clearly remembers that when she was a child, whenever she was winter, her father would always come back with a box of oranges.

At that time, oil workers couldn't earn a few dollars a year.

When they go home, the drilling team will give one person a basket of oranges.

At that time, everyone was very poor, and there was no fruit to eat.

And Wei Ying likes to eat the oranges that her father brought back the most.

Over the years, with the continuous improvement of living standards,

There are more and more fruits to choose from, and oranges are not as popular as before.

When Wei Ying woke up, he was surprised to see that his father had already made breakfast for him.

Wei Ying rubbed her worried eyes, she looked at her father and said:

"Dad, why did you get up so early?"

Wei Ying's father is an old oil man,

He has been on the drilling team all his life.

I saw that Wei Ying's father was peeling an apple for Wei Ying and said:

"This person, when he gets old, sleepy, becomes less and less...... I woke up at 5 o'clock this morning and couldn't sleep again......"

After Wei Ying went to the bathroom to wash up and came out, she sat on the sofa, took her father's hand, and said:

"Dad, I think the best place for the drilling team is to have two months of winter vacation......"

After speaking, Wei Ying thought in her heart:

It's nice to have a winter break for the drilling team to be with my father......

Otherwise, I would work in the Sulige Desert in Inner Mongolia, and my father would work in the loess mountains in northern Shaanxi.

In a year, the father and daughter really haven't seen each other.

Wei Ying's father put a bowl of mung bean porridge in front of Wei Ying.

He put a spoon in it and said:

"Let's eat, it's cold......"

Wei Ying likes to drink the porridge cooked by his father the most, and he said while drinking the porridge streaming:

"Dad, what time is your drilling team starting to go up the mountain?"

Wei Ying's father ate steamed buns with vegetables and said:

"Almost, it's the seventh day of the new year......

Hearing the seventh day of the first month, Wei Ying nodded and said:

"Our drilling team, which is also the seventh day of the new year, started to go up the mountain ......"

At this time, Wei Ying's mother walked out of the bedroom.

She yawned and said:

"It is said that the daughter is the father's little padded jacket, no, early in the morning, the father and daughter were in the living room, chatting ......"

At this time, it is Wei Ying's mother, the happiest moment,

Because, my husband and daughter have come back from winter vacation, and they are all by their side, a family of three, and they can be reunited together.

Oil families, in general, are husband and wife, and the two places live separately.

Because of work, Wei Ying's father has been working in the mountains all his life.

And Wei Ying's mother stayed in the logistics family home and took care of Wei Ying.

Therefore, Wei Ying's mother and Wei Ying's father have been married all their lives, and the longest time they have stayed together is no more than three months.

Even, when Wei Ying's mother gave birth to Wei Ying, Wei Ying's father did not rush back because he was busy with work.

Although, the oil family, there are a lot of imperfections,

However, they are still satisfied with their current life.

After all, compared with before, everyone's living standards have improved a lot.

Now, after Wei Ying has worked, Wei Ying's mother feels that the economy is much more prosperous.

In the past, Wei Ying's father went to work alone to support a family of three.

Now, Wei Ying and her father go to work to support their mother alone.

At home, there was a surplus of money all of a sudden.

In addition, oil families, generally thrifty and thrifty,

Therefore, Wei Ying's mother has saved more than 30,000 yuan in one year this year.

And this 30,000 yuan, Wei Ying's mother didn't dare to spend it indiscriminately.

She wants to save this money as a dowry for her daughter in the future.

When Wei Ying saw that her mother came out, he hurriedly asked her mother to sit next to her, and then filled a bowl of porridge and said:

"Mom, let's eat, Dad has already made breakfast......"

Wei Ying's mother drank porridge and pickles, felt very happy, and said:

"Wei Ying, in the future, when you are looking for a partner, you must find a man like your father...... is both responsible, but also distressed about women, and after returning home from vacation, it is cooking and cleaning......"

Wei Ying's father was a model husband, although he had worked in the mountains for many years,

However, as soon as he returned home, he took the initiative to take on the housework, cooking, cleaning up the housework, and other housework, so that his wife could rest when she could.

However, before Wei Ying's mother finished speaking,

Wei Ying's father joked and said:

"Wei Ying, don't listen to your mother...... If you are looking for a partner in the future, don't look for a man like me, who has no ability or any income, and has been a low-level oil worker all his life......"

Wei Ying's mother glared at Wei Ying's father, and then said:

"Although, you're just an ordinary worker...... But, I feel, you're already amazing...... In my heart, you are the one, the most perfect man......"

Listening to Wei Ying's mother's praise, Wei Ying's father laughed and said:

"Well, since you're so sure of me...... Well, I'll take your compliment......"

After speaking, Wei Ying's father gave Wei Ying advice and said:

"Wei Ying, Dad told you, after all, you are not young now, and when you look for a partner in the future, you must pay attention to the right person...... Especially if we can't climb high, we'd rather go low...... Otherwise, the marriage will definitely be unhappy......"

Wei Ying's mother disagreed, Wei Ying's father's view of marriage, he said:

"Dad, you're really getting old and getting more and more confused...... For a girl, when he is looking for a partner, he must find a man who is stronger than himself and has better conditions...... After all, it's the law of nature...... If you let Wei Ying still find a boy who is not as good as herself, or a boy with a lower education than you, and get married...... Then in the future, there will definitely be problems in the marriage......"

Wei Ying's father and Wei Ying's mother argued, saying:

"What do you mean? What if we find a boy with very good conditions, and people still look down on us...... Let me say, I am an ordinary worker, and in the future, Wei Ying will find the son of an ordinary worker, and it will be fine......"

Wei Ying's mother was a little angry and said:

"Hurry up, change your old thinking...... You see, the neighbors around it, whose daughter, who is not looking for it, a boy with a house, married...... Let me say, this girl, looking for a husband, at the very least, is to have a house...... Otherwise, in the future, there will not even be a place to shelter from the wind and rain, so how can we do it?"

After Wei Ying's father finished drinking the porridge, he put the bowl on the coffee table, stood up, and said:

"At the beginning, when you married me, not only did I not have a house, no car, and even 100 yuan on my body, but you didn't marry me in the same way? Moreover, we have been the same all our lives, are we quite happy? I think that if a girl pursues material things too much...... Well, specifying the ...... that will not be happy"

Wei Ying's mother argued with reason, she said loudly:

"However, if you let the child marry a boy with poor conditions, the financial burden in the future will be so heavy, how can you live? Don't you know that poor couples will decline in a hundred days?"
