Chapter 66: Two Public Toilets
After the house was cleaned up, Dongmei Weiguo's family moved in comfortably. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
As Dongmei wished, he and Wei Guo had their own bedroom, and the two children also had their own separate rooms.
Compared with the heat of the tin house in summer, this brick house is unusually cool, and even in the hot summer, you can't feel the heat even in the hot summer.
What surprised Dongmei the most was that there was still a small piece of land in the courtyard of the brick house that could be cultivated, and the land outside the gate of the house could still be cultivated.
In this way, he can grow some simple vegetables in the yard and outside the door, so that his children will have vegetables to eat.
As for the public facilities that Dongmei is most satisfied with, it is definitely the two public toilets in the north and south.
In the past, when drilling the yard of the second technical school, there was only one public toilet at the entrance of the yard, and there were few pits, compared to the yard of the technical school and the nearby residents, the toilet and the population were seriously not in ratio, whenever the peak period, the people who were in a hurry had to wait in line, and even the face was suffocated, the most painful thing in the world was to want to go to the toilet, and there was no toilet to go to.
And here, there are two toilets in the north and south of the bungalow area, not only the number of pits, but also the population of the bungalow area is not much, so no matter when and what season, there are always idle pits, so that people have no worries.
After life settled down and got on the right track, on a quiet evening, Dongmei Weiguo took her two children to walk in the yard of the base, and unconsciously went down the slope.
Out of the yard of the base, across a road, the two children saw a big river in the distance.
Dongmei told the children that this was the Yan River, which was the mother river of the Chinese Revolution.
Yan River is the second largest river on the Loess Plateau, with a total length of 286.9 kilometers, originating in Zhoushan Mountain, Baiyu Mountain, Jingbian County, with a basin area of 7,725 square kilometers.
Because Wei Guo works in the field all year round, it is rare for the family to go out for a walk together, Dongmei especially cherishes the time when Wei Guo is here, and she takes the children out with Wei Guo as much as possible, so that the children can feel the warmth of home.
Because the children live with their mother all the year round, Dongmei gradually found that Taotao has less manly spirit and more delicate woman, he doesn't cry, and he is a little sentimental.
Nana is better, she has inherited the temperament of a female man, and she can eat and sleep.
Since they had just arrived at the drill base, the two children did not have any friends, so they could only entertain themselves every day, and Tao Tao would occasionally miss his friends in the drill two, and sometimes even shed tears.
Coming to the edge of the Yan River, Tao Tao and Nana happily took off their shoes, rolled up their pants, and played with the water in the shallow water.
Dongmei and Weiguo sat on the shore, with their backs to each other, while supervising the two children, while talking with affection.
It is getting closer and closer to the day when Wei Guo goes up the mountain to work, Dongmei is very reluctant to go up the mountain, she said: "If we can live together all year round, no need to separate, you don't have to go up the mountain to work, take care of our baby together, how good it would be." ”
Wei Guo picked up a branch from his feet, scratched it on the ground and said: "I also want to stay by your side forever, stay by the child's side, but I am a drilling technician, if everyone stays in logistics like me, stay at home, who goes to the front line to drill wells, who goes to the unit, to create benefits for the motherland." ”
Dongmei looked into the distance, looked at the south in the direction of the Yanhe River and said, "Perhaps, only when you retire, we can really live together." ”
Wei Guo sighed and said, "Yes." ”
Dongmei imagined the picture of when she was old, and said: "When you retire at the age of sixty, our children will grow up, and they will also go back to work in the oil field. ”
Wei Guo disagreed with Dongmei's point of view, and said: "The work in the oil field is hard enough, tired enough, I just want my life to dedicate my life to the oil field, I don't want my children, like me, to dedicate all their youth to the desert, barren mountains, loess, hills, and Sichuan Road, I hope they stay in the city, be a white-collar worker, and live an easy and superior life." ”
Dongmei's opinion is more conservative, she thinks that as long as the children can have a stable job in a state-owned enterprise, it is the best, she said: "There is nothing wrong with the son inheriting his father's business, besides, they grew up in this environment, maybe in the future, they can adapt to this kind of oil field life better than us." ”
Wei Guo didn't say anything, for a long time, he looked at the two happy children playing in the shallow water, and said thoughtfully: "The motivation for my hard work now comes from my children, I just want to earn enough money in my lifetime for them to go to college, earn enough money, and marry my Taotao." ”
Wei Guo and Dong Mei belong to the kind of people who are very thrifty, and Wei Guo's savings are even more famous in the unit, not only do he not smoke, he does not drink, and he does not spend a penny.
A colleague persuaded him that money is earned, not saved, and you have to be able to spend money in order to make money.
He would retort to the workers: We as workers, just a little money, the total amount is the same, if you don't save, do you want to resell state-owned assets?
Since the food for the children has improved, Dongmei and Weiguo have not bought a single piece of clothing, and Weiguo's clothes are all labor protection clothes issued by the unit, and the only suit issued by the unit.
And Dongmei's clothes are all clothes bought a few years ago, and there are no new clothes, they live not for anything else, but for their children.
After a few days, Dongmei also became familiar with the neighbors.
To the left of Dongmei lived a nineteen-year-old girl named Ma Meizi, who worked as a boilermaker and lived alone with a baby who was only a few months old, while her husband was an alcoholic, lame on one foot, working in the drilling team.
On the right is a woman five years older than Dongmei, because her husband's surname is Du, Dongmei calls her Du's sister-in-law.
Sister-in-law Du has three children, all of whom look very similar to each other, but the girl in the middle, Sister-in-law Du insisted that this girl was not her daughter, but the daughter of a relative in her hometown, and she was just taking it for foster care.
One day when it came to kicking the door, Dongmei complained to Sister-in-law Du that the thin old man not only kicked their locks but also came to find fault.
Sister-in-law Du was confused and said: "I happened to be at home that day, and at noon I saw a young man come over and kick open the lock you just hung, and then lock your own lock, why do you say it's an old man." ”
Hearing this, Dongmei was even more confused, and the second monk was confused.
It wasn't until one day, when a young man arrived at Dongmei's house with his daughter-in-law that the truth was revealed.
The young man didn't knock on the door, and took his daughter-in-law to push open the door of Dongmei's house directly and walked in.
Dongmei, who was taking a nap, was awakened by this sudden stranger, and hurriedly stood up and asked, "Young man, who are you looking for?"
The young man said sneakily, "Are you the owners of this house?"
Dongmei said without thinking, "Yes, what's wrong?"
The young man glanced at his daughter-in-law next to him, and then asked tentatively, "Then when did you move in?"
Dongmei couldn't remember the time she moved in more clearly, and she said, "July 10th." ”
The young man sighed "Ao" and continued to ask: "Then you smashed the lock and moved in." ”
At this time, Wei Guo was also woken up by the noise, he looked at this uninvited guest, and said: "Yes, we locked a black lock before, and then we were smashed, and then we locked the copper lock, and we smashed the copper lock to live in." ”
When the young man heard this, he seemed to realize something, smiled awkwardly and said, "Oh, I see." ”
Dongmei asked in surprise, "What do you know? You are also looking for a house?"
The young man stammered, "No, we're looking for someone, hehe." After speaking, the young man pulled his daughter-in-law and quickly exited Dongmei's house.
Dongmei was lying on the glass window of the inner house, watching the young man's departure, Dongmei was amused to see that the young man's daughter-in-law was walking and smashed the young man's head with her fist.
This house was first discovered by the thin old man, and after a simple cleaning, he took it for himself. The old man, after all, is more economical, so he found a waste lock from the unit, locked it, and then left with confidence.
Then, Wei Guo and Li Jianjun, who were rushed away, kicked away and took possession of them. And in the interval between them leaving to move, it happened that the young man was looking for a house everywhere.
Coincidentally, when the young man arrived, kicked open the house, and found that there was no furniture in the house, he concluded that the house was not occupied, so he put on his newly bought lock.
So, the young man who had a house, happily went back to his hometown to become a parent, as a man with a house, he could naturally find a better girl, so he took the girl to the unit to see the house, and found that his house was actually lived by another family, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
As soon as the young man inquired, he found out that he was actually occupying the house that someone else had just occupied, so he retreated in embarrassment, and the new daughter-in-law beat her man in anger because she felt cheated.
Dongmei poked Wei Guo, who continued to take a nap, and told Wei Guo her analysis, Wei Guo also felt reasonable, and couldn't help but feel guilty, they actually treated the poor thin old man so roughly, and planned, if they could meet the thin old man in the yard, they would apologize in person.
At night, Tao Tao ran out to play, and before he knew it, he ran to a place called the Light Stadium.
In the distance, he saw a large courtyard surrounded by a wall, with only two small gates.
Tao Tao stood in the distance and didn't dare to go in, but he found a strange phenomenon, that is, these two small doors, a steady stream of people walked in, and then came out.
Tao Tao was puzzled, and finally he finally made a judgment about this place, this place is definitely a super large toilet, which is why there is such a large flow of people.
Tao Tao went home and told Dongmei about his new discovery, Dongmei felt incredible, there were not many people in the unit, but it was a waste to build such a large toilet.
So, with curiosity, I followed Tao Tao to this extra-large "toilet".
Walking into the so-called toilet in Taotao's mouth, Dongmei and Taotao were stunned, this place called the light field, even at night, is brightly lit, its west side is a movie theater, next to the movie theater is a standard basketball court, next to the basketball court, that is, the easternmost side of the light field, is a small football field.
In the movie theater, the movie "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" is being screened.
There were many tall men playing basketball on the basketball court, shirtless, and many children and teenagers were running back and forth on the football field.
There is such a good place in Drill One, this nightlife is simply too rich, Dongmei couldn't help but sigh, if it is put in Drill Two, at this time, she has already taken the child to bed, who has the leisure time to go out.
Since the discovery of the lighted court, every night, Dongmei will bring her children to watch basketball games and football games, and Taotao will occasionally rush to the football field to kick twice.
However, Dong Mei never watched the most attractive movie at that time, she felt that the five-cent movie ticket was too expensive, and it was better to buy some good things for the children to eat with the five-cent, which was more cost-effective.
