Chapter 608: A Hint of Smile, A Hint of Bitterness
Cheng Dongmei sat on the bus from Liquan to the provincial capital, she looked out the window and thought a lot.
Dongmei married Wei Guo at the age of twenty-three, and she followed Wei Guo that year and moved out.
That year, it was still in Karamay, Xinjiang.
Dongmei lived in the nest of the ground for less than a year, and then returned to her hometown to live in the countryside.
When Taotao was eight months old, Wei Guo couldn't think of the child and Dongmei, and Dongmei took the eight-month-old Taotao and went to Xinjiang.
This stay is more than two years.
When Dongmei was pregnant with Nana, she returned to her hometown from Xinjiang to the countryside.
This stay is four years.
When Taotao was six years old, Nana was three years old, Dongmei and Weiguo dragged their families from their hometown to the second base of Longdong Diamond.
At that time, the whole family lived in a tin house.
When Dongmei thought that she would spend the rest of her life in an iron house, two years later, they moved to the Ganquan base in northern Shaanxi.
And just at the Ganquan base in northern Shaanxi, Dongmei and Weiguo moved three times.
And the housing has also transitioned from the most humble brick house to a high-grade cadre building.
Dongmei, who originally thought that she would spend the rest of her life in northern Shaanxi, did not expect that after living in the Ganquan base for six years, the family moved to the Liquan base.
Compared with the cold of Longdong Drill 2, the loess of Drill 1 in northern Shaanxi is full of sky, and the Liquan base is simply a treasure of feng shui in the eyes of Dongmei.
However, even if it is a treasure of feng shui, they moved to the provincial capital after living in it for less than ten years.
A smile appeared on Dongmei's face, and a hint of bitterness was revealed.
The move over the years is not only a continuous move to the advantage, but also an continuous improvement of living standards.
Back then, when Wei Guo was in Xinjiang, who would have thought that he could come to the provincial capital?
When Dongmei and Weiguo lived in an eight-square-meter nest, who would have thought that they could live in a high-end building with 140 square meters and two bathrooms in the provincial capital?
In those days, there was nothing in the house except a bed, a table and a chair, who would have thought that now there are not only TVs, telephones, refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, microwave ovens and so on.
The development of the times, the continuous improvement of living conditions, the continuous improvement of living standards, and the continuous rise of housing standards have made Dongmei feel that happiness has come too quickly.
She even felt a little caught off guard by happiness.
However, while Dongmei was caught off guard, she couldn't help but adapt to this change.
Because this kind of change is constantly getting better, more beautiful, and better, and there is no worsening, worsening, or suffering.
Wei Guo lay in his seat, already asleep.
After he woke up, he wiped the halazi on the side of his mouth, looked at Dongmei, and said, "What do you think, should you be reluctant to give up the home where we have lived for ten years?"
Dongmei suddenly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and she said, "A little reluctant." ”
Wei Guo hugged Dongmei in his arms and comforted her: "The old ones don't go, the new ones don't come, there is a give-and-go, according to the habits and customs of our oil people who live in one place for ten years, it is already quite good, and it is time to move." ”
After speaking, Wei Guo giggled.
Compared with Wei Guo's optimism and happiness, Dongmei is very sad.
She lowered her head and said, "Then we live in the bright garden of the provincial capital, what should we do with the house in the Liquan base?"
Wei Guo said lightly: "What else can I do, of course I rent it out." ”
Hearing about renting a house, Dongmei reluctantly said: "Is it possible that even those furniture are all given to the people who rent them?"
Wei Guo nodded and said, "That's for sure, now the house in the Liquan base is rented for five hundred dollars a month, and it's not a problem." ”
Dongmei sighed and said, "Okay, then let's rent it." Liquan base, this place, we are gone forever. ”
Before Dongmei could finish sighing, Wei Guo looked out the window and said, "Provincial capital, we are here." ”
After speaking, the bus entered the west passenger station of the city.
Coming out of the Chengxi Bus Station, the two of them came to the bus stop sign of No. 50 with large bags of luggage, waiting for the No. 50 bus.
There are a lot of people at the Chengxi Bus Station, and even more people are waiting for the No. 50 bus.
In addition, Dongmei and Weiguo carried too much luggage, so it was very difficult to crowd the No. 50 bus.
In June, it was already hot, and the weather was very stuffy, so Wei Guo and Dongmei soon sweated.
Wei Guo really didn't want to crowd the bus, she looked at the crowd in front of her, and said to Dongmei: "Dongmei, no, let's take a taxi." “
Although Dongmei was also sweating profusely, she still thought about how to get on the bus, after all, it only costs a quick money to take the bus, and if you take a taxi, it will cost at least 30 yuan.
Dongmei looked at a No. 50 bus not far away, and she said to Wei Guo: "What kind of taxi to take, how cost-effective the bus is." “
Wei Guo also saw the bus that was coming immediately, and he said: "Although the bus is cost-effective, we can't squeeze it." “
Dongmei was carrying two large bags in her hands, and she simply carried one on her back.
She carried another big bag in one hand, opened the crowd with the other, and said to Wei Guo: "You follow me, squeeze hard and go up." “
After that, the bus drove in front of me.
Wei Guo looked at Dongmei squeezing the bus like a war, he shook his head, and said in his heart, Dongmei sometimes complains that she is too saving, but sometimes, she saves more than herself.
Wei Guo didn't know what to say about Dongmei, although he really didn't want to squeeze it, but he looked at Dongmei as a woman, bravely taking the lead, and he was a man, how could he retreat?
No, he followed.
Compared with Dongmei, Wei Guo carried more luggage, not only on his back, but also in his hands, just like the people who fled in the past.
Dongmei is tall and strong, and soon crowds the crowd around her and rushes onto the bus.
And the skinny Wei Guo, like a chicken, was mixed in the crowd, crowded to and fro.
The defenders in the crowd are like a flat boat in a flood, unable to grasp their own direction at all.
Just when Wei Guo was desperate to be squeezed, suddenly, a person in front of Wei Guo suddenly gave way to Wei Guo, and then flashed to Wei Guo's left.
Wei Guo saw that someone in front of him had dodged away, and he was still curious, why did this person retreat when he saw that he was about to get into the car?
said that it was too late, it was fast, Wei Guo took advantage of the moment when the people in front of him retreated, and a fierce man squeezed onto the bus.
Wei Guo, who got into the car, took out a hand and threw a dollar into the coin box.
When Wei Guo turned around and was about to leave, the bus driver suddenly yelled at Wei Guo: "Part-time worker, you take so much luggage and occupy so much space, just invest one dollar?"
After Wei Guo put his luggage on the ground, he looked at the bus driver and said, "Then what do you want me to do?"
The driver said extremely impolitely: "Cast another piece." “
After speaking, the driver cursed: "Stinky old farmer." “
Listening to the driver's words, Wei Guo felt very uncomfortable.
However, because it was not easy to squeeze into the bus, he didn't bother with the driver, so he took out another dollar from his pocket and prepared to put it in.
But before she could defend the country, Dongmei stood up.
She said to the driver: "Although we have a lot of luggage, but we don't occupy a place, why invest a quick buck?"
The driver saw a woman yelling again, he looked at the pile of luggage beside Dongmei, and said, "You, say yours, you also invest another dollar, stinky old farmer." “
Hearing that the driver was insulting the working people, Dongmei immediately became angry.
She looked at the driver and said, "Master, it's okay for you to scold, but please don't insult the peasants, okay, what is a stinky worker, what is an old farmer?"
Wei Guo also angrily replied to the driver, and said: "Master, I don't believe it, you are not farmers for several generations, please don't speak wildly, look down on us farmers, look down on us workers, okay." “
The driver saw that Dongmei and Weiguo not only did not invest money, but also quarreled with themselves, he immediately put out the fire and said: "Damn, don't you have long eyes, look at the people in the surrounding city, who are like you, taking the bus with a lot of heavy luggage, not only hindering others, but also taking up space, really fucking stinky workers, stinky farmers." “
Listening to the driver's discriminatory language, Dongmei was extremely angry.
She simply rushed to the driver and reasoned with him: "You bus drivers, you should serve human life, but you don't serve the people, and besides, you insult the people, I want to remember your name, and I want to complain to your leaders." “
After speaking, Dongmei was in the car, looking for the phone number of the sixth bus company.
Wei Guo directly took out his mobile phone and took a photo of the driver with 300,000 pixels.
He said: "Now that science and technology are developed, although I don't know what your name is, I will take a picture of you and give your leaders a reaction, to see if you dare to insult us migrant workers?"
Hearing this, the driver immediately froze, he drooped his head and didn't speak, and silently started the car.
After Dongmei found the phone, she immediately called the complaint and report number of the sixth bus company.
She complained to the bus company about the number of trains she took and the specific situation of the driver.
The driver who was complained about was, like a cucumber beaten by frost, wilting all the way, and didn't dare to say anything, nor did he dare to let Dongmei and Weiguo invest an extra dollar.
After taking the bus for more than an hour, the two finally got off at the Wengjiazhuang stop at the intersection of Fengcheng 4th Road and Weiyang Road.
Dongmei and Weiguo got off the bus, their whole clothes soaking wet.
Wei Guo looked at Dongmei's hair that had been attached to his face, and he said with a smile: "Dongmei, you are still amazing, if it weren't for you complaining about that driver, I think he would definitely fly all the way." “
Dongmei looked at the clothes that Wei Guo had attached to her body and said, "Since we have arrived in the provincial capital, then we must take up the weapon of complaint and protect our rights and interests anytime and anywhere." “
Wei Guo felt that Dongmei's thinking was very advanced, he had never thought that he could complain about others.
I have worked hard all my life and worked hard all my life, and I have the mentality that everything is a big thing and a small thing.
He would rather suffer a loss and be a little angry than make things bigger.
Because, he is a timid and fearful person by nature.
However, Dongmei's actions today made Wei Guo completely realize that since he came to a big city, his thoughts and ideas must be changed, and he can't be like in the mountains, or in a small city, weak people, or honest people, can be bullied by others casually.
With great effort, the two moved their luggage to the house.
However, when faced with a new house, the first thing they have to do is to pay all kinds of utility bills, elevator fees, garbage fees, etc.
However, when Dongmei and Wei Guo came to the property, Wei Guo found that the six hundred yuan he had put in his shirt pocket was missing?
Wei Guo looked for money all over his body and said, "Dongmei, did I give you the 600 yuan?"
Dongmei looked at the back of Weiguo's shirt, where the blade was cut, and said, "Weiguo, your money shouldn't be stolen by thieves, right?"
