It turned out that Tang Tang's sole was broken, and he crumpled the ten yuan that stole Xiaoqin into a small ball and stuffed it into the hole in the sole. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Tao Tao and Qiang Qiang looked at each other when they saw the ten yuan waving in Tang Tang's hand, and it was obvious that they knew how Tang Tang got the ten yuan.

However, in the face of the dry noodles, frozen juice, spicy strips, fruit dan peel, figs, jumping candy, gold coin chocolate, apricot meat, fluttering stars and other small snacks that Tang Tang bought from the store with the ten yuan, the two children finally did not withstand the attack of sugar-coated shells and chose to remain silent.

The three friends found a secluded place and gobbled up the snacks.

For Taotao, many of these snacks Tang Tang bought were snacks that he had seen but had never eaten, and today was the most extravagant snack since he grew so old.

After solving the snacks, Tang Tang counted the money in his hand, and there was a lot, so Tang Tang decided to go to the night market stall to eat mutton skewers.

In that era when meat was rarely eaten, eating mutton skewers was something that several children could not think of, and when they heard that Tang Tang was going to take them to eat mutton skewers, Tao Tao and Qiang Qiang decisively agreed.

Along the way, I ate mutton skewers and drank drinks until my stomach rose, and finally solved the ten yuan.

On the way home, Tang Tang solemnly said to the two partners: "We have eaten so much today, but this matter can only be known to you and me." ”

After speaking, Tang Tang glanced at Taotao and Qiangqiang with his eyes.

After taking people's hands and eating people's soft mouths, the two friends understood what Tang Tang meant, and they both smiled and assured Tang Tang that they would not tell others.

When Taotao got home, it was already nighttime.

Dongmei was waiting at the door early.

When she saw Taotao coming back, she hurriedly asked him: "You are supervising your sister's homework, where did you go, why did you come back so late?"

Tao Tao wiped the oil stains left by eating mutton skewers on his mouth and said, "I went out to play hide and seek." ”

Dongmei looked at the oil stains on the corners of Taotao's mouth, and then looked at Taotao's sneaky eyes, and felt that this kid must have a ghost in his heart, so she asked him, "Who did you play hide and seek with?"

Tao Tao walked into the house and saw that his sister Nana was still doing her homework, so he grimaced at her, laughed at her a little, and then replied to his mother: "It's with a few children in the yard." ”

Dongmei took down a towel from the table next to her and handed it to Taotao and said, "How do you play hide and seek, your mouth is full of oil, did it fall into the oil tank?"

Tao Tao took the towel, wiped his mouth, and found that his mouth was very oily, revealing a flawed Tao Tao, so he hurriedly changed the topic to Nana and said: "Mom, when I was supervising Nana at school today, I found that Nana didn't play with female classmates, but only with male classmates, and played with each other. ”

Hearing her brother complain to her mother, Nana, who was doing her homework, immediately turned her head and glared at her brother with her eyes, giving people the feeling that her gaze could kill someone.

Dongmei ignored Taotao's change of topic, and continued to ask: "Tell me honestly, what did you go out to eat, where did the money come from? Did you steal the money in my pocket?"

Hearing about stealing his mother's money, Tao Tao was anxious, he knew that if his mother thought that he had stolen money, he would definitely be beaten, so he hurriedly explained: "I didn't steal it, it was Tang Tang Tang who stole it." ”

Hearing about stealing money, Dongmei immediately became angry and asked, "How can Tang Tang enter our house and steal the money in my pocket, did you steal my money to Tang Tang." ”

As soon as he heard that his mother misunderstood it like this, he really couldn't wash it when he jumped into the Yellow River, Tao Tao simply said truthfully: "Tang Tang stole ten yuan from Xiaoqin, a girl in our class, and then invited me and Qiangqiang to eat snacks, eat mutton skewers, and drink drinks." ”

After speaking, Tao Tao thought that as long as he explained things clearly and put all the responsibility on Tang Tang, he would be safe and would definitely not be beaten.

Just when Taotao relaxed, Dongmei picked up Taotao's clothes, which was a family law, and said while beating: "He stole money, why don't you tell the teacher, and spend the stolen money with him, you know, you are in the same stream, if you don't correct your petty theft habit when you were a child, you will steal when you grow up......"

Tao Tao was beaten by his mother and cried, Nana, who was doing homework next to her, saw her mother beating her brother, and hurriedly wrote her homework obediently, and by the way, she gloated and smiled proudly at Tao Tao, who was crying, and said that you should sue me in front of your mother, you should be beaten, you deserve it.

After beating Taotao, Dongmei felt that it was a big deal for children to steal money, and they couldn't be tolerated like this, otherwise it would harm the child for a lifetime, so she decided to go to Tang Tang's house and tell Tang Tang's parents about Tang Tang's stealing money.

At this time, Tang Tang was lying comfortably on the bed reading the villain book when he was full of food and drink, he felt that the theft of money today was simply seamless, no one would know, as for the two little friends, not to mention, they were absolutely tight-lipped.

Just as Tang Tang was wandering, Dongmei rushed in and told Tang Tang's parents all about Tang Tang stealing money and spending "stolen money" with Tao Taoqiangqiang.

But to Dongmei's surprise, Tang Tang's parents didn't think it was a thing, they thought that it was normal for children to make mistakes, so they orally educated Tang Tang. (This laid a hidden danger for Tang Tang to make even greater mistakes eighteen years later).

came out of Tang Tang's house, Dongmei went to Qiangqiang's house again, and Dongmei's education method is the same, Guo Lanying beat Qiangqiang after knowing it, gave him a memory, and let him know how to behave, which is correct.

The next day, Tang Tang's parents led Tang Tang to school, gave Xiaoqin the ten yuan, and apologized to Xiaoqin in person.

Originally, the school was going to punish Tang Tang, but for the sake of Tang Tang's earnest parents, they criticized and educated Tang Tang.

Autumn goes to winter, and the snow is long.

The winter in Longdong is very cold, Dongmei took Taotao and Nana, who had a winter vacation, and waited for the long-distance bus from Longdong to the provincial capital on the asphalt road opposite the base.

Since moving to the yard of the technical school at the base, Dongmei and Weiguo feel that they have a house, their home is stable, and they can live and work in peace and contentment, so they decided to go back to their hometown for the New Year every year from this year, first, to visit their elderly parents, and second, to let the children not forget their roots and know where their roots are.

In order to save the cost of the journey, Wei Guo decided to take the unit's bus to the provincial capital after the unit's holiday, and then return to his hometown from the provincial capital.

Due to the extremely crowded bus of the unit and the fact that family members are not allowed to ride, Dongmei can only wait for the long-distance bus at the gate of the base with her children alone.

At that time, the traffic information was extremely underdeveloped, and Dongmei didn't know what time the car from Longdongfa Provincial City would pass through the gate of the base, so she stood on the side of the road with her two children early in the morning, looking forward to the arrival of the long-distance bus soon.

In that era when there were no down jackets, adults and children wore cotton jackets, cotton pants, cotton shoes, and cotton hats.

Cotton jackets and pants can keep you warm, but handmade mille-feuille cotton shoes cannot.

The coldness of the ground penetrates little by little through the mille-feuille soles of the cloth shoes until it reaches the soles of people's feet.

Dongmei led the child and waited aimlessly for more than three hours on the asphalt road, but the long-distance bus still didn't come.

The cotton shoes under Dongmei's feet have long been frozen, and her feet are cold and cold.

Adults can still bear it, but children can't, and the cotton shoes on Taotao and Nana's feet have long lost their function of keeping warm on the cold ground.

The mille-feuille soles of the cotton shoes were as cold as ice, and the two children were pacing, crying as they walked.

As a mother, Dongmei looked at the child who was crying in the cold, and his heart was more than enough, he knew that there was a kind of shoe in this world called tourist shoes, its sole was thick, and it was plastic, and there was a sponge inside, absolutely warm, but she couldn't afford it, he could only squat down, put the two children in his arms, and looked forward to the long-distance bus coming soon.

It wasn't until the tears of the two children dried on their faces that the coach finally arrived.

Dongmei carried two big bags, dragged two children, and squeezed into the long-distance bus.

Dongmei finally sat down in her seat after buying a full ticket and a half ticket.

There was no heating in the coaches of that era, and the seals were not good, compared to the cold outside.

When they got into the car, the two children were still shivering from the cold, and Nana once again cried because her feet were frozen and she couldn't stand it.

Dongmei sat down on the seat, straightened her stomach, and then unbuttoned the padded jacket and unwrapped the clothes inside the padded jacket, revealing her warm belly.

She took off Nana's shoes and Taotao's shoes, and buried the cold feet of the two children on her warm belly to keep the children warm.

At this time, Dongmei only felt that the child's feet were as cold as iron, and how she hoped that her warmth could melt the child's cold.

Slowly, the feet of the two children returned to their temperature, Nana fell asleep in her arms, and Taotao also fell asleep on the seat next to her.

The bumpy road, a whole day of walking to the provincial capital.

In the provincial capital, it was already dark, and the first problem faced by the mother and son was food and accommodation.

The noodle restaurants in the provincial capital are too expensive, and Dongmei can only take out the cold steamed buns from her bag and distribute them to everyone, one for each person, and eat them while walking.

Although the dried steamed bun has no taste, it is a different kind of delicacy in the mouth of a hungry child.

There are many places to stay, but in terms of choice, Dongmei is difficult.

When I came out of the station, I kept talking to people along the way, asking if I was staying at the hotel, and provided washbasins and hot water for free.

However, because the social security at that time was not very good, coupled with a mother with two children, safety became Dongmei's primary concern, and then the price.

I met a kind person, the guest house was too expensive, and Dongmei refused to live.

met a cheap guest house, Dongmei didn't look like a good person, and it was difficult to choose after hesitating.

At this time, Dongmei thought of her husband Weiguo, it would be nice if he was by his side, no matter what kind of guest house, with a man by his side, at least he would not think about the safety of the child.

However, Wei Guo took the bus of the unit and left.

In that era when there were no mobile phones and communication was not developed, Dongmei wanted to know whether Wei Guo was in the unit at this moment, or in his hometown, or in the provincial capital of the transit station where he was going home, she couldn't know.

Dongmei took her child, wandering on the streets of the provincial city with busy traffic and bright lights, and when she was tired, she took the child to sit on the cement steps on the side of the road to rest.

Nana, who was sitting next to Dongmei, pointed to a well-decorated hotel with a glass door not far away and said to Dongmei: "Mom, look, there is a house there, and we used to sleep in it. ”

Dongmei followed the direction of Nana's finger and saw a hotel with colorful lights, she shook her head and said to Nana, "That's not where we live, we can't afford to live there." ”

Listening to her mother's words, Nana sat down aggrieved, tears rolled in her eyes, she followed her mother to wander the streets of the provincial capital for a long time, her two little short legs were tired, but her mother had not yet found a place to stay.

But Tao Tao was clever, he saw a very simple and very dilapidated guest house in the distance, pulled Dongmei and said, "Mom, look, there is a guest house opposite, let's go live." ”

Dongmei looked around, and sure enough, there was a guest house not far away, which looked very shabby, Dongmei was carrying a bag, pulling the child, and walking over, while thinking, this guest house should not be expensive, I hope it is safe.
