Dongmei didn't care about eating, so she asked: "It's really troublesome for me to put my two children here with you for such a long time!

Wang Xue'e gave Dongmei a bowl of rice, handed her chopsticks and said: "Taotao is very well-behaved, goes to school on time every day, completes homework on time, and also tutors Wang Peng and Wang Tao in their home......work."

Listening to Wang Xue'e's words, Dongmei was very happy, and said in her heart, Taotao, this child, really fights for her mother. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The smile on Dongmei's face hadn't disappeared yet, and she heard Wang Xue'e say that it was ......

Dongmei was stunned for a moment, pricked up her ears, and thought to herself, what could it be, could it be that Taotao did something bad?

I saw that Wang Xue'e said with a smile: "Taotao, this kid, is good at everything, but there are too many stories." ”

Dongmei didn't understand, and thought, it's good to have more stories, children love to listen to stories, what's wrong with that.

Wang Xue'e continued: "Every night when I go to bed, Taotao will tell Wang Peng and Wang Tao stories, what ghosts and fires in the back mountains, living ghosts, carriages in the middle of the night, dead man's graveyards, ......"

Dongmei listened, her scalp was numb, and she said in her heart, Taotao, this child, where did so many ghost stories come from?

Wang Xue'e said, feeling that her hairs stood up, and she said funny: "Although Taotao's story is terrifying, Wang Peng and Wang Tao still love to listen to it, and they can't take their eyes off it. ”

Hearing this, Dongmei dripped, looked at Wang Xue'e embarrassedly and said, "Taotao, this kid, I don't know where I heard the ghost story, it's so naughty." By the way, Nana, she cried with fear. ”

Wang Xue'e put the food in Dongmei's bowl and said: "Children love to listen to ghost stories, and Nana loves to listen to them, but Nana fell asleep when she listened to them, and she slept soundly in the middle of the night, and she didn't have a terrifying reaction at all." ”

Dongmei smiled awkwardly and said embarrassedly: "Taotao, this kid is too naughty, I'll clean him up when I get home." ”

Wang Xue'e was reluctant to hear it, and said: "I told you that the meaning of the child's ghost story is that I am worried that your child will be frightened by the ghost, how can you blindly understand what I mean, I will tell you, if you go back to clean up the waves, I will be anxious with you." ”

Tao Tao knew that he had made a mistake, buried his head in the silence and ate, and did not say a word.

Dongmei looked at Taotao, glared at him, and then smiled and said to Wang Xue'e: "Okay, good, listen to you." ”

Wang Xue'e touched Taotao's head and said to Dongmei: "Tomorrow, I have to ask Taotao, if you clean up Taotao, if you have something to go out in the future, I won't show you the child again." ”

Dongmei ate and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't beat Taotao, at most criticize him." ”

Wang Xue'e said: "That's pretty much it. ”

After speaking, two women and four children were happily eating together.

……

In mid-October, the Loess Plateau has basically entered the cold season.

In the whole base of the drill base, all the buildings are heated, and the rooms are unusually warm, while the people who live in tiled houses or bungalows can only make stoves because there is no heating in the house.

In the boiler team inside the base, a large amount of coal is stored, and every household without heating can be given a ton to two tons of coal to survive the winter.

On this day, the day of coal distribution came, and all the family members pushed carts, bicycles, wheelbarrows, and sacks in their bare hands, and all walked towards the boiler team.

In the base, all the families of leaders or dual-income workers basically live in buildings, while the families of workers and single-income workers almost all live in bungalows or tiled houses.

In single-worker families, the men all work on the frontline mountains, so the family members who come to receive coal are basically women and children.

Dongmei took Taotao and Nana and pushed the bicycle, and on the back of the bicycle were four very large snakeskin bags and a sturdy cowhide rope.

Hongxia and Song Nian's daughter-in-law, I don't know where to find a frame car, led the child over from the north side of the bridge.

Wang Xue'e had neither a cart nor a bicycle, so she carried a sack on her back and brought her two sons over, ready to carry back the coal they had shared, bag by bag.

The gate of the boiler team is not large, but when you enter, it is a towering chimney.

Behind the boiler chimney is a large coal plant, and every day there are large trucks pulling coal into this coal plant.

With the influx of family members, the boiler team is extremely crowded.

Before the captain of the boiler team announced the start of coal distribution, the family members had already started to grab it.

Because there are more people and less coal, the competition is extremely fierce.

Dongmei parked her bicycle at the edge of the coal factory, took down the snakeskin bag from the back of the bicycle, and let Taotao and Nana hold the bag, while Dongmei wore gloves and threw pieces of coal into the snakeskin bag.

When throwing it, Dongmei will consciously choose a better coal, because there is a large amount of stone coal mixed in the coal factory, which seems to be very large and good, but it can't be burned at all.

Soon, Dongmei was loaded with four snakeskin bags of coal.

Dongmei asked Taotao to hold the front of the bicycle, Nana to hold the back of the bicycle, and she put all four bags of coal on it.

I saw that there were two bags on the beam and two bags on the back of the car, which were erected on the bicycle.

Then, she took out the rope and fastened the two bags of coal at the back of the car, and she was done.

The coal in the boiler team is limited, so Dongmei told herself that she must act quickly and make as many round-trips as possible, otherwise there will definitely not be enough coal in one winter.

After Dongmei loaded the bicycle, she hurriedly pushed forward, while Taotao and Nana followed behind and pushed forward.

After returning home, Dongmei didn't care about drinking saliva, and hurriedly rode into the car, with Nana in front and Taotao in the back, and ran towards the boiler team.

After three rounds of going back and forth, Dongmei, who had already received almost the same amount of coal, saw Wang Xue'e carrying a bag of coal on her back and went home.

She hurriedly stopped the car, looked at Wang Xue'e and said, "Xue'e, why do you carry coal by yourself, and you don't find a tool to pull coal, you can only carry one bag at a time, how many times have you carried it?"

Wang Xue'e was carrying coal in front of her, and the two children were pushing it with their hands in the back, and she said with great difficulty: "When I was in my hometown, I was used to carrying potatoes on my back, so I was fine." “

Dongmei hurriedly took Wang Xue'e's coal, put it on her bicycle and said, "I have pulled twelve bags of coal for the family, you quickly put the coal on my bicycle, and I will pull it for you." Relying on you like this, it is estimated that you will not be able to carry a few bags, and there will be no coal in the coal factory. “

Wang Xue'e said embarrassedly: "It's okay, no, when Wang Chaoying comes back, I'll find a way to get it." “

Dongmei and Wang Xue'e both belong to the kind of women who are more family-oriented and virtuous.

Because Wang Xue'e's husband Wang Chaoying usually cares a lot about his wife, Wang Xue'e is far less independent than Dongmei.

I saw that after Dongmei put the bag of coal on the bicycle, she let the children play, and she cooperated with Wang Xue'e to pull coal.

In this way, Dongmei and Wang Xue'e cooperated, and in a short time, they pulled enough coal for both families.

And Hongxia and Song Nian's daughter-in-law also used a rack car to pull enough coal.

In the boiler team, a large pile of coal was removed by the family members in a very short time.

Due to pulling coal, Dongmei's gloves have been damaged, her hands have been dyed black, and her clothes and shoes are even more black, like workers burning their heads in a brick factory.

When Dongmei and Wang Xue'e came out of the boiler team with black fingers and dirty, Kang Ping was wearing clean clothes and walked in front of the boiler team, and the two couldn't help but bump into each other again.
