Chapter 342: Everything Seems Like Just Yesterday
Early the next morning, the truck came. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Dongmei's family and Chen Changbai's mother's house were assigned a big truck.
In other words, this truck is going to remove everything from both families.
By the time the truck was filled with furniture, it was already noon.
Since only three people could sit in the cab of the truck, Wei Guo and Chen Changbai's father took the lead and left first.
And Dongmei and Chen Changbai's mother, with their children, prepared to take a passing bus to Liquan.
After the truck left, Dongmei was still not at ease, and she walked into the empty home again, afraid that something would be left behind.
Dongmei walked into the house, looked at the empty house, and suddenly thought of what she looked like when she first came to the base of Diamond One Ganquan.
At that time, as now, it was Wei Guo who arrived first, and he arrived behind the child.
At that time, Tao Tao had just finished the second grade of primary school, and Nana had just finished preschool.
Carrying a large bag on his back, he pulled Taotao with his left hand and Nana with his right hand, and came in through the gate of the base.
She took the child, and after going up a big slope, she came to the asphalt road in front of the building area.
She clearly remembers that there were many retired elderly people sitting near the building area.
Some of them were on crutches, some were in wheelchairs, and some were struggling to walk......
And all this is as if it happened yesterday, although five years have passed in the blink of an eye, my two children have grown up and are no longer what they were when they were children.
She originally thought that she would move from the second base in Longdong to the first base in northern Shaanxi, and it would be very good to be able to live in a house similar to a tin house.
However, she did not expect that she would be able to live in a bungalow.
While she was content with the bungalow compound, she moved into the Brocade Building.
When she moved into the Brocade Building, before she had time to rejoice, she moved into the cadre building again.
She remembered the surprise she had when she walked into the cadre building for the first time, and she also remembered the shock that the flush toilet in the cadre building brought to her.
But now, she looked at the mess all over the ground, looked at the house where she had lived for several years, and was about to leave again, and she couldn't help but feel sad.
Just when Dongmei's eyes were moist, Taotao walked in and said, "Mom, what are we going to eat at noon, we are all starving." ā
At this time, Dongmei realized that it was time for lunch.
However, the family has moved away, and there is no food and cooking utensils, how can I cook for the children?
"Dongmei, what are you doing, let's go eat. ā
Chen Changbai's mother's voice came from outside.
Chen Changbai's mother's voice is very unique, always pulling a long series of trills, especially when she calls Chen Changbai home for dinner every day.
"Changbai, Changbai, go home for dinner......"
The voice was always lingering, and it lasted for three days.
After Dongmei inspected the corners and corners of the house, she finally closed the door and said goodbye to the best house she had ever lived in.
Chen Changbai's mother has three children, the eldest Chen Changsong, the second Chen Meiling, and the third Chen Changbai.
She stood on the steps, looked at Dongmei, and said, "What are you going to eat at noon?"
Because Chen Changbai's mother has very dark skin, her three children, all with dark skin, stand there very conspicuously.
Dongmei said: "The family has moved, and I can only go to the restaurant below the base to eat." ā
Chen Changbai's mother said, "We are going to eat rice and vegetables, will you eat with us?"
Dongmei asks for the children's opinions.
Tao Tao said he wanted noodles, not rice.
Nana says she wants to eat noodles too.
So, Dongmei said, "We won't eat with you, you can go and eat." ā
Chen Changbai's mother was very enthusiastic, she said: "The restaurant below not only has rice, but also noodles, let's go and eat together." ā
couldn't resist Chen Changbai's mother's enthusiasm, and the two families went to eat together.
Although the two families sat at the same table, they ate different meals.
Dongmei and the children, each has a bowl of noodles, which is very simple and eats one by one.
And Chen Changbai's mother took her three children and asked for a large table of dishes, eating rice, and serving the dishes.
Dongmei looked at their family of three and was very surprised that they had ordered so many dishes.
She said, "You three, isn't it too extravagant to ask for so many dishes?"
Chen Changbai's mother disagreed, she said: "We people in Shuzhong, unlike you Guanzhong people, are reluctant to eat or wear all our lives.
We are from Shuzhong, but we give up and eat. ā
After finishing speaking, Chen Changbai's mother said in her heart, you Guanzhong people are reluctant to eat, you are sick, and all the money you have saved is spent on seeing a doctor.
Dongmei looked at the dishes on the table, and said in her heart, even if she is willing to eat, she can't waste it so much?
Three people want five dishes, if it is themselves, three people one bowl of rice, and then two dishes, one meat and one vegetable.
Dongmei's family and Chen Changbai's mother's family are two completely different families.
Chen Changbai's mother's family basically spent all the money they earned on eating, what was delicious, what was in season, what was rare, and basically did not save money.
And Dongmei's family is the same, not only in terms of clothing, but also in eating, and they are also very saving, basically saving all the money they earn.
In this way, the two families, after the children have grown up, have formed two different endings.
Chen Changbai's mother's family, although the eldest worked early, the second and third children were admitted to university successively.
However, the parents could not afford the tuition fees, so they had to let their two children take out loans to go to school.
And the two children of Dongmei's family were also admitted to college.
However, Dongmei and Wei Guo took out the tuition fees of their two children at one time, allowing them to complete their studies without any worries.
More than ten years later, when the children got married, Chen Changsong took his daughter-in-law, as well as his own children, and his parents and a family of five, crowded in a house.
And Wei Guo and Dongmei have already bought a house for Taotao in advance, so that they have their own independent home.
Due to the large number of people moving, it was difficult to get on the bus, and it was not until the evening that the two families barely got into a long-distance sleeper bus.
The sleeper cars were also in a tight position, leaving only the lower level of a bunk in the last row.
Usually only three people can sleep in the bunk, but it is crowded with six people.
Three adults crowded on the left, and five children crowded on the right.
Because Dongmei's mother was old, the driver was worried about accidents, so he gave her his sleeper.
And Dongmei and the children can only crowd in the back.
Dongmei is very fat, and she occupies a lot of land by herself.
The rest of the ground, although he could barely lie down, the feeling like squeezing sardines made Taotao very uncomfortable.
Especially the feeling of sleeping for one night like this makes Taotao unforgettable.
Because it is crowded, you have to maintain a position to sleep, and you can't turn over, which is very uncomfortable.
In the middle of the night, Taotao woke up from time to time, always feeling like he had been canned and couldn't stretch out.
Coupled with the bumps along the bus, that feeling reminded Tao Tao of what he had learned in history books, the criminal history of white slaves from Africa from the 15th to the 20th centuries.
He thought to himself that by the time the slave ships set sail from the shores of Africa and arrived in the Americas, the slaves would no longer be able to walk, and whoever they let them put them on would not be able to stand up, let alone walk, in such a crowded situation.
