Dongmei was already in a bad mood because of Taotao's affairs, but the sudden appearance of Wei Guo at this time made her excited again.

She suddenly felt the urge to cry.

Wei Guo approached Dongmei, looked at her, smiled happily, showed two yellow and angry front teeth and said, "Wife, why did you come out early in the morning, are you exercising?"

Dongmei looked at Wei Guo's tattered clothes, and she felt uncomfortable and said, "I didn't exercise."

By the way, you are also a dignified engineer, and you are also a respected Cui Gong in the unit, and when you came back, you didn't say that you would buy a good set of clothes, clean up and dress up, and then come back? ”

Wei Guo stroked the clothes on his body, scratched the back of his head and said: "Men, the clothes can be worn, what are you doing when you wear them so well, it's a woman's business to clean up and dress up, what is there to clean up for the big man, besides, Taotao will take the college entrance examination this year, and Nana will also take the college entrance examination the year after tomorrow. ”

Dongmei's eye circles are red.

She looked at Wei Guo and said: "When we were young, didn't we already give our children the tuition fees, the money in the bank is already enough for the children to go to school, so don't save, buy some new clothes, eat some delicious food, and be more luxurious for yourself." ”

Hearing the word luxury, Wei Guo said firmly: "Now for a college student, it's not like in the past, just to give the child tuition, now college students, not only to eat well, dress well, but also to talk about the object, go to the Internet café to surf the Internet, buy game cards, go out to travel, spend a lot of money." ”

Dongmei breathed a long sigh of relief, and said slowly: "Even then, the money we saved is enough, you just put your clothes and the bag in your hand, quickly change it for me, the clothes have been worn for ten years, and the bag has been carried for ten years." ”

No matter what Dongmei says, she just can't convince Weiguo to buy new clothes and bags.

Dongmei roughly calculated, the clothes on Wei Guo's body were bought when he was at the Ganquan base in northern Shaanxi, and it has been at least eight years.

As for the bag he was carrying, the words "Shanghai Leather Bag Factory" written on it were blurred, and even Dongmei knew how many years Wei Guo had been mentioning.

Wei Guo walked in front, and Dongmei followed.

Since he was young, Wei Guo has been walking as fast as the wind, and now that he is middle-aged, he still walks as fast as the wind.

He looked at Dongmei next to him and said, "What's the matter, you're older than me, and you can't walk anymore?"

Dongmei didn't dare to walk too fast because of her heart discomfort.

She said: "I didn't sleep well last night, and my heart is a little uncomfortable, you go first, I'll walk slowly in the back." ”

Hearing that Dongmei's heart was uncomfortable, Wei Guo said worriedly: "Heart discomfort is a big deal, you must pay attention to it, I will take you to the hospital today, just when I come back, we will treat you for treatment." ”

Dongmei shook her head and said, "I will be uncomfortable when I just fall asleep in the morning, but after taking the Heart-Saving Pill and Aspirin, it will be much better, and I don't have to go to the hospital." ”

Hearing that Dongmei didn't go to the hospital, Wei Guo said: "Are you a pity for money, and you are reluctant to spend money on your own medical treatment, so you don't go to the hospital?"

Dongmei said: "What's the matter, the illness is like a mountain, if my body is serious, do I dare not see a doctor?"

Wei Guo looked at the haggard and weak Dongmei in front of him and said: "Our family, I can save it alone, you and the children can spend it, don't worry about the money, even if you spend it all, I still earn it." ”

Dongmei looked at Wei Guo in front of him and knew that he had saved a lifetime, even if he had money now, he was still so saving.

Because the genes and traditions of saving have penetrated deep into the marrow of the country.

Dongmei said: "Then how can it be done, husband and wife, you must share weal and woe, I spend money, you save, or I save, you spend money, it can't work." ”

Wei Guo said: "You are a woman, I am a man, I just need to suffer, you don't have to." ”

Saying that, Wei Guo actually took Dongmei's hand.

When Wei Guo took her hand, Dongmei suddenly had a feeling of returning to when she first fell in love.

At that time, Wei Guo also took advantage of his own inattention, and suddenly took his hand.

More than ten years have passed, and the two have not been in public for more than ten years, walking and holding hands.

Dongmei couldn't hide her sweetness, but she looked at the people around her vigilantly, afraid that an acquaintance passing by would see her holding hands with Weiguo.

Compared with sweetness, Dongmei is more afraid of being laughed at by others.

Dongmei stroked Wei Guo's hand and said, "Your hand is really getting rougher and rougher." ”

Wei Guo said: "Can you not be rough when you are exposed to the wind and sun in the mountains and do rough work all day long?"

Dongmei said: "Although the mountain is bitter, but you are fine, you should also pay attention to maintenance, don't always keep yourself old." ”

Wei Guo suddenly stretched his face over, looked at Dongmei and said, "Do you remember, when the two of us just arrived at the courtyard of the Second Drill Technical School?"

Dongmei immediately recalled, she said: "Why don't you remember, the memory is too deep." ”

Wei Guo recalled the scene at that time.

He said: "When I took you and led the children to live in the courtyard of the technical school, the people around me said, "Look, a forty-year-old man has a twenty-year-old young daughter-in-law......

Dongmei remembered that funny thing.

She said, "Oh, you are a person, when you were twenty years old, you looked like a forty-year-old person, and now you are forty years old, and you still look like a forty-year-old person. ”

Wei Guo said: "It is estimated that when I was fifty years old, others would still look at me as a forty-year-old person. ”

After speaking, Wei Guo laughed.

Dongmei was also amused, she said: "Women always age faster than men, when I walked with you, others said that the old man found a young daughter-in-law, and now I am together with you, no one says it anymore, and some people even suspect that I am older than you?"

Wei Guo looked at Dongmei's aging face and said, "Then I have a balance in my heart." ”

Dongmei looked at the vicissitudes of Wei Guo's face and said, "You are balanced in your heart, but I am unbalanced in my heart." ”

Dongmei was just halfway through her words when she suddenly shook off Wei Guo's hand.

I saw that Liu Tao's mother was hurriedly walking from the opposite side.

When Dongmei saw Liu Tao's mother, he was still a little embarrassed.

She was very worried, Liu Tao's mother saw the scene where she was holding hands with Wei Guo just now.

Liu Tao's mother didn't know what was going on, she was in a hurry, and she didn't notice that Dongmei and Wei Guo were holding hands.

After leaving the slope, Weiguo still wanted to hold Dongmei's hand, but Dongmei seriously refused.

Dongmei knocked off Wei Guo's hand and said: "Forget it, let's hold hands when we get home, if we are seen outside, everyone will definitely laugh at us, we are old and old, we are really Hu Chengjing." ”

Back at home, Wei Guo suddenly took out the salary card issued by the unit.

He said happily: "Dongmei, do you know that from now on, the unit will pay salaries and bonuses, and the money will no longer be found, but directly into the card." ”

Dongmei looked at the card in Wei Guo's hand and was very curious.

She said: "If we don't find the money, how do we know how much money we have paid each month and how many bonuses we have?"

I don't think it's as good as finding money. "Guard

Guo took out the fold from his bag and said: "Do you know, this card is bound to this fold, every time we send money, we can go to the bank to check the fold, every stroke is vivid." ”

Dongmei said: "Then if we want to use the money, we have to go to the bank with the fold to withdraw the money, how troublesome it is." ”

Wei Guo said: "Hey, you are really a woman's opinion, the unit gives the workers money directly into the card, and does not find the money, which is really social progress."

Do you know how scared we workers were when we went home and took the bus with cash every time we found gold?"

Dongmei said: "Then don't you be afraid now?"

Wei Guo said with a smile: "What are you afraid of now, I got on the bus and slept directly, in the past, I had money in my bag, and I dared to sleep there, as long as I took the car, I had to stay awake for 24 hours." ”

Dongmei said: "It seems that this hairpin is really a good thing." ”

Wei Guo said: "Then you can do it." ”

Dongmei said: "I think in the future, there should be more such good things." ”

Wei Guo said: "There are many good things, one after another, one after another. ”

Dongmei asked curiously, "What else is there to do?"

Wei Guo said: "In a few months, the highway will be opened to traffic." ”

Hearing the highway, Dongmei said happily: "Then it must be soon." ”

Wei Guo said: "That's for sure, I heard that after the high-speed is opened, it will only take four and a half hours to get from Ganquan in northern Shaanxi to us." ”

Hearing this, Dongmei felt incredible and said: "No, when we used to walk at a low speed, it took eight or nine hours, and sometimes it took a whole day."

Now, after the highway is opened, it only takes half the time to get there, which is wonderful. ”

After speaking, Dongmei was so excited.

Wei Guo said: "Yes, after the highway is opened, I will leave in the morning and rush home for lunch at noon." ”

Dongmei said happily: "Yes, the society is really getting more and more developed, and the infrastructure is really getting better and better." ”

In Dongmei's heart, it only took four and a half hours to travel from northern Shaanxi to the hinterland of Guanzhong, which was simply fast, and it was so fast that I couldn't believe it.

However, what she didn't expect was that ten years later, when the bullet train from Xi'an to Yan'an was opened, the time was compressed to more than two hours.

And when the high-speed rail was opened, the time was compressed to more than an hour.

Now, though, this speed has become a reality.

But at that time, Dongmei couldn't even think of it.

She did not expect that the country's economy would grow so quickly and infrastructure would be built so rapidly.
