What stunned Tao Tao was that he didn't feel his mother's breath either. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Tao Tao took his hand from under Dongmei's nose, looked at Nana in horror and said, "Nana, why doesn't my mother breathe?"

Nana put her hand under Dongmei's nose again, tried Dongmei's breath and said, "I saw on TV, if there is no breath, people will die, and my mother will not die, right?"

As she spoke, Nana began to cry.

Taotao looked at the crying Nana, and was a little scared.

He was just about to go out to call someone, when he suddenly heard Dongmei shout violently, and then sat up from the bed.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Oh my God, this nightmare is so deep that I can't wake up for a long time." ”

When the two children saw their mother sitting up from the bed, they threw themselves into Dongmei's arms and said, "Mom, you finally woke up, we thought you were dead?"

Hearing this, Dongmei couldn't cry or laugh, she said: "How can people die so easily, people are very strong, and the harder they work, the stronger they become." ”

After speaking, Dongmei suddenly saw the time of the clock on the bedside table, and saw that it was about to be time for school, and the two children had not eaten breakfast yet.

Dongmei hurriedly got off the bed, looked at Taotao and Nana and said, "You haven't had breakfast yet, have you?"

Tao Tao and Nana nodded in unison and said, "No." ”

Dongmei rushed into the kitchen and said, "It's all because my mother overslept and almost forgot the breakfast of the two of you." ”

After a while, Dongmei, who rushed into the kitchen, walked out with porridge and steamed buns and said, "It's still time, you hurry up and eat." ”

The two children drank porridge and ate steamed buns and went to school, leaving Dongmei to sit alone in the house.

She looked at the empty room and didn't know what to do.

Dongmei watched TV for a while, and felt that it was boring, so she took out a few more books from the cabinet, flipped through them randomly, and threw them aside.

Suddenly, a voice asked Dongmei in Dongmei's heart, Dongmei, did you really decide to give up your career and concentrate on taking care of your children at home?

Dongmei was silent for a long time, and suddenly another voice shouted from the depths of her heart, Dongmei, if you can take care of your children's studies when you are in business, then you might as well continue your career.

Suddenly, Dongmei's mouth suddenly opened, and she asked herself, why didn't I Dongmei hire someone to help me work?

That way, when my children come back from school, I can take care of their studies, and the hired workers will temporarily work for me, and when the children are done studying, I will return to my work.

Dongmei knows that she can't be idle, and she doesn't like a pampered life, if people don't have dreams, what is the difference between them and the walking dead?

Instead of staying at home and being lazy, it is better to go out and continue your business, although you are busy, although you are tired enough, but every day is full and interesting, and you live a woman's self-confidence and a woman's demeanor.

Thinking of this, Dongmei immediately decided that she should insist on grasping with both hands, and both hands should be hard.

So, Dongmei pushed open the door and walked out.

Dongmei, who had just gone out, had not had time to walk onto the road when she heard Sister-in-law Tan shouting her name in the distance.

Dongmei turned her head and saw Sister-in-law Tan waving at her while shouting her name.

Dongmei immediately walked over and saw that Sister-in-law Tan was making preserved egg and lean porridge, and she said, "Sister-in-law Tan, you call me." ”

Sister-in-law Tan looked Dongmei up and down and said, "Dongmei, I see that you have a ruddy complexion and full of energy, don't you look like you are seriously ill?"

When Dongmei walked into the farmers' market, the people around her who were selling rice all cast their eyes on Dongmei.

Because, this is the first time that Dongmei has not come out to set up a stall since she entered the farmers' market.

Dongmei sat down in front of Sister-in-law Tan's stall and said, "I'm not sick in the first place." ”

After Sister-in-law Tan made the porridge with preserved eggs and lean pork, she served it to a guest, and then said to Dongmei: "Is it really because Mr. Zhang talked to you, and then you gave up the business of selling rice?"

Hearing that Dongmei had given up her career of selling rice, the white-faced aunt in the second row next to her immediately stretched her neck and pricked up her ears.

She listened carefully to the conversation between Dongmei and Sister-in-law Tan, and thought to herself, if Dongmei really withdrew from this farmers' market, then she would have one less competitor, a good thing.

The wrinkled face in the fifth row was overjoyed, she originally thought that she would be the first merchant to withdraw from the farmers' market, but she didn't expect that Dongmei would be the first to quit.

She laughed in her heart, it is really a bad business, not as bad as the child's learning, once the child's learning is poor, then the parent will not be able to sell food here at all.

Dongmei shook her head and told Sister-in-law Tan: "After listening to Teacher Zhang's words yesterday, I was really ready not to sell food, but when I woke up this morning, I changed my mind and decided to not only sell the food well, but also do a good job in the children's studies." ”

When the white-faced aunt and wrinkled face heard that Dongmei didn't plan to quit, they couldn't help but be disappointed.

And Sister-in-law Tan was very happy when she heard that Dongmei decided to continue selling food.

She said to Dongmei: "Dongmei, you are the first person to eat crabs in our yard, the first housewife to stand up and do business, because of your courage to stand up, therefore, we latecomers have the courage to come out to sell food, if you quit and quit, then we, the latecomers, will not have the confidence to continue." ”

Dongmei smiled and said, "It's so exaggerated." ”

Sister-in-law Tan said seriously: "Why is it not so exaggerated, I am still brought out by you, if you didn't start selling dumplings in the south of the Boko Building first, I wouldn't have come out to sell dumplings in the south of the ordinary building, so to speak, you are my leader, so I said, anyone can choose to withdraw from the market and not sell rice, but you Dongmei can't quit, you must keep going." ”

Hearing Sister-in-law Tan's praise, Dongmei said embarrassedly: "I'm not the ancestor master, is it worth you to pursue me like this?"

Sister-in-law Tan smiled, and made a bowl of preserved egg and lean porridge for Dongmei, saying: "As long as you don't quit and continue to work, I will be happy to come and taste my porridge." ”

With that, Sister-in-law Tan brought the porridge to Dongmei.

Dongmei only drinks sweet porridge, or porridge without taste, which is not suitable for salty taste at all, and there is also porridge with meat and preserved eggs in it.

She just took two sips and said, "Oh my God, it's the first time I've drunk such a bad porridge in my life, and I really don't know how this porridge you made was sold." ”

Hearing this, Sister-in-law Tan pretended to be angry and said: "Since it's not delicious, why are there so many people who come to drink my preserved egg and lean porridge every day, you really don't know how to enjoy the mouth." ”

After speaking, Dongmei and Sister-in-law Tan exchanged a few words, and then walked towards the Boko Building where Sister-in-law Du was.

Walking on the way to Boko Building, Dongmei thought to herself, last time, Sister-in-law Du took the initiative to ask for a job, but this time she took the initiative to find Sister-in-law Du, hoping that she could give face.

After a while, Dongmei walked to the second unit of the Brocade Building on the east side.

Before going upstairs, she looked at the location of the first-floor flat, where her family used to live, but now they had moved in with new residents.

Dongmei came to the door of Sister-in-law Du's house, knocked on the door, and said, "Is there anyone?"

For a long time, no one responded, and Dongmei knocked on the door for a while, but there was still no response.

Dongmei sighed, thinking to herself, it must be Sister-in-law Du who went out, otherwise why didn't anyone open the door.

Just as Dongmei was about to leave, the door of Sister-in-law Du's house suddenly opened.

However, Sister-in-law Du only showed half of her face and said, "Dongmei, it turned out to be you, I thought it was who." ”

After speaking, Sister-in-law Du invited Dongmei in.

After entering, Dongmei was surprised to find that the reason why Sister-in-law Du only showed half of her face was because the other half of her face was severely swollen, and her eye sockets were bruised, and her cheekbones were high and swollen.

Dongmei stared wide-eyed, not knowing what happened to Sister-in-law Du.

I saw that Sister-in-law Du was embarrassed and said to Dongmei: "Hey, I quarreled with Lao Du last night and was beaten again." ”

Hearing this, Dongmei gasped and asked, "Why did she beat you?"

Sister-in-law Du sighed and said: "No reason, between husband and wife, it is inevitable to quarrel over trivial things, you also know Lao Du's temper......"

Dongmei couldn't look at it and said: "No matter how big Lao Du's temper is, he can't beat people, what does he treat us women for, when he is angry, he sprinkles it on our heads, and we are not angry bags." ”

Sister-in-law Du heard Dongmei's voice speak, and hurriedly put her finger to her mouth and said, "Be quiet, Lao Du is drunk and sleeping in the room." ”

Hearing this, Dongmei, who was standing in the living room, saw clearly through the bedroom door that Lao Du was sleeping like a dead pig, and there was vomit everywhere on the ground.

Dongmei shook her head and said, "Since Lao Du is sleeping, then I won't bother you, I'll make a long story short." ”

Sister-in-law Du closed the door of Lao Du's sleeping bedroom tightly, and said to Dongmei: "What is it, you can say it." ”

Dongmei said: "Sister-in-law Du, have you been idle lately, aren't you busy?"

Sister-in-law Du said: "I'm not busy, I teach my husband and children at home every day." ”

Dongmei said: "It's good not to be busy, you know, I'm selling food in the farmer's market now, and I can't be busy alone, if you have time, then I'll hire you to work here with me." ”

Hearing that there was work to be done again, Sister-in-law Du said happily: "That's great, as long as you call at any time, I will go over at any time." ”

After finishing speaking, Sister-in-law Du said again: "Isn't Weiguo at home, aren't you still busy?"

Dongmei said: "Wei Guo went to work in the morning, it was originally Taotao who was helping me to work, but that would affect the child's learning, so I was ready to ask you to help." ”

Sister-in-law Du nodded and said, "It's okay in the past, so as not to quarrel with Lao Du at home every day." ”

Dongmei said: "You come over at four o'clock in the afternoon every day, and go back until ten o'clock in the evening, I will take care of a meal for you, and give you seven yuan a day, what do you think?"

Hearing that she could earn seven yuan a day, Sister-in-law Du said happily: "As long as you can give me seven yuan a day, don't say that you can work until 10 o'clock in the evening, even if you work until 12 o'clock in the evening." ”

Dongmei smiled and said: "Sister-in-law Du, don't worry, I said seven yuan, then I will definitely give you seven yuan, but you don't have to work so late, with your help, I estimate that we will work until about ten o'clock in the evening every day, and the big work will be almost done, after you leave, I will finish the rest of the small work." ”

Sister-in-law Du happily shook hands with Dongmei and said, "Thank you so much, Dongmei, I have a job again and can make money again." ”

Dongmei thanked Sister-in-law Du and said, "I should thank you, if you don't come to help, my food business will probably not be able to continue." ”

After the two thanked each other, Dongmei walked out.

As soon as she went downstairs, Dongmei met her old neighbors, the young teachers from before, Teacher Li and Teacher Guan.

Teacher Li's double eyelids and big eyes are very beautiful, she looked at Dongmei and said, "Sister Dongmei, since you moved to the cadre building, I rarely see you!"

Teacher Guan is tall and strong, he looked at Dongmei and said, "Sister Dongmei, I heard that your family Taotao is about to take the junior high school exam." ”

When Dongmei saw the two young teachers, she was very envious of their profession and said, "Yes, Taotao is in the sixth grade this year, and he will be admitted to junior high school soon." ”

Hearing this, Teacher Li smiled knowingly and said, "I just happened to take the first year of junior high school next year, maybe I will lead the class for Taotao." ”

Hearing that the teacher Li in front of her was likely to be Taotao's homeroom teacher after he went to junior high school, Dongmei said happily: "That's great, I'm relieved to hand over the child to you." ”

Teacher Li said modestly: "I heard that your child has been studying very well, I don't think you should be at ease if you don't need me to take it." ”

After speaking, Mr. Li and Mr. Guan smiled heartily.

Dongmei looked at the two young people and was very envious of their youth and freedom.

When Dongmei was so old, she was still working in the countryside.

At that time, she and Wei Guo, one in the countryside of Guanzhong and the other in Xinjiang, were thousands of miles apart, and they only met once a year, and they got along together for no more than three months a year.

And Mr. Li and Mr. Guan in front of them, since they got married, they can live together, eat together, sleep together, and most importantly, they can still work together, what a beautiful thing it is.

Especially when Dongmei knew that Teacher Li and Teacher Guan came together through self-love, she was even more envious and said: "I really envy you young people now, you can decide your life partner through free love." ”

Hearing this, Mr. Li said gently: "Two people have to live together for a lifetime, if it is not free love, with a person they don't like, live together for a lifetime, what a painful thing." ”

Teacher Guan next to him also said in a magnetic voice: "If you are with someone you don't like every day, wouldn't it be uncomfortable to die, by the way, Sister Dongmei, don't you and Brother Wei Guo fall in love freely and come together?"

Dongmei shook her head and said: "People of our generation, there are very few couples who come together through free love, and you and Brother Wei Guo are not free love." ”

Hearing this, Teacher Li said in surprise: "Sister Dongmei, could it be that you and Weiguo are married to Fengzi?"

Teacher Guan was even more surprised and said, "Sister Dongmei, could it be that Brother Wei Guo is taking it by force?"
