On this day, Wei Wei's mother, Xueying, who had a good time with Dongmei, came over again, and when she came over, she brought Dongmei a plastic bag of dry and spicy noodles. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xueying originally grew up in the countryside of a neighboring province, and she has longed for a better life in the city since she was a child.

When she was eighteen years old, because of a quarrel with her parents, she simply ran away from home, naively thinking that she could go to the city to live, but the eighteen-year-old Xue Ying didn't know which city she was going to, so she sat in the car and set off in the direction of her dream.

Before I knew it, I arrived in the town near Cuijia Village, and after the money I brought with me was spent, I began to beg.

It just so happened that she was bumped into by an old uncle, and the old uncle was the uncle of her current husband, he asked Xue Ying's age and hometown, and looked at Xue Ying's appearance, and found that although Xue Ying was begging, her appearance was not bad, so he asked her if she was willing to stay in the hinterland of Guanzhong.

The hinterland of Guanzhong has been a granary of 800 miles since ancient times, and even in the years of famine, the people here have basically never been hungry, compared to the neighboring provinces, this is a paradise.

The stubborn Xue Ying didn't want to go back to his hometown at all, so he followed the man to Wei Wei's father's house.

When she arrived at Wei Wei's father's house, she knew that she had been brought over to marry.

Although she didn't plan to get married, her parents-in-law treated her very well and didn't let her go, and besides, she could still eat here, so she simply stayed.

Until the day before she got married, she hadn't seen what Wei Wei's father looked like.

At night in the cave room, when he was in the same room, Xueying saw Wei Wei's father for the first time, to Xueying's surprise, he turned out to be a cripple, but the raw rice had been cooked into cooked rice, and it was too late to regret it.

Dongmeila Xueying went to the kang, sat side by side on the kang with herself, looked at a big red sweater worn by Dongmei with envy and asked: "You people in the city are foreign, this big red sweater is so beautiful, buy it at a high price." ”

Dongmei looked at the balling sweater that she had worn and said: "This sweater was not bought, it was issued by the unit when Weiguo was in Xinjiang, and it has been worn for three years." ”

Xueying looked at Wei Guo on the other side of the kang and said, "My brother's unit is good, such a good sweater is hairy." ”

Wei Guo smiled and said: "Xinjiang, Uygurs raise sheep, so sweaters are not expensive, and the unit gave one to one person." ”

Xue Ying asked with interest: "My brother is in the oil field unit, how much salary does he earn in a month?"

Hearing Xue Ying ask about wages, Wei Guo was still a little embarrassed to say, because the salary in the oil field is still relatively high compared to ordinary rural areas, Wei Guo said softly: "Two hundred yuan a month." ”

Hearing this, Xue Ying's jaw almost dropped, her eyes widened, and she counted with her fingers: "My brother has two hundred yuan a month, and he can earn two thousand four hundred yuan a year, which is too rich." ”

Dongmei, who was sitting next to her, said: "Your brother supports a family of four by himself, and he has to support his mother and father, and he has to marry a daughter-in-law for Baoguo, so it's tight." ”

Xue Ying disagreed, and said with bright eyes: "We rural people have a few acres of land, and they can't dig out 2,000 yuan a year. ”

Hearing that Xue Ying, a female streamer, had to do such heavy physical work as drilling, she hurriedly said: "Drilling is all heavy work, pulling the cat's head is still dead, I have to work hard, let alone you." As I said, the workers in the unit are either transferred from the army or graduated from oil schools, and people from outside don't want them. ”

Hearing that she didn't want outsiders, Xue Ying died of her heart.

The sun was very red in the afternoon, and the snow warbler pulled Dongmei and Weiguo to the west of the village to bask in the sun, and Taotao also followed behind the buttocks.

When I arrived at the west end of the village, Dongmei found that every time the sun was red, the men, women and children of the whole village basically came here to bask in the sun.

In that era when the market economy was not yet developed, all the men, women and children in the village farmed at home, and no one went out to work, so the whole village was prosperous and popular.

When everyone saw Dongmei and Wei Guo coming, they all gathered around and asked questions, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.

And Tao Tao and Wei Wei were also playing together, but when Tao Tao and Wei Wei discussed learning, Tao Tao obviously found that Wei Wei was not like a second-grade student, because he learned a lot of courses and knowledge in the children's school, Wei Wei had not heard of it at all, and because the school in the village was busy with the holidays and autumn vacations, many texts in the textbooks, Wei Wei had not learned.

The wedding date of the little uncle Baoguo is coming soon, and Wei Guo and Dong Mei are busy arranging the wedding room for the little brother-in-law.

The room where the uncle got married was in the house in the backyard, and when Wei Guo built the house, he took into account Bao Guo's marriage, and specially left a house for Bao Guo as their wedding room.

The wedding in my hometown is relatively simple, as long as you call your relatives and friends around, have a meal at home, and then say a few words of wedding blessings, so that you can be considered married.

According to the past customs, Wei Guo made a big pot in the yard as the main pot when entertaining guests, cut a tree to dry, used it as firewood, and then killed a pig, which was used as a meat dish, and finally invited a cook to come over.

The cook was specially invited by Wei Guo from the big canteen, he wrote a menu for Wei Guo and Dongmei, and told them to buy all the dishes.

Wei Guo and Dong Mei bought the same menu according to this menu.

However, in the face of a dish on the menu that the two had never seen before, Wei Guo and Dongmei were stupid, and no one knew what this thing was.

Wei Guo looked at the word "ham" on the menu, scratched the back of his head and said, "What is ham?"

Dongmei thought for a long time, and said thoughtfully: "Ham, it should be a pork leg." ”

Wei Guo shook his head and said, "No, I think ham is a kind of thing with fire, and I can't think of what it is." ”

At this time, Wei Guo's mother and Wei Guo's father also came over, and the old couple couldn't figure out what this ham was.

Although Wei Guo has been working outside for so many years, in that era of material scarcity, Wei Guo has really never seen ham sausages, let alone eaten ham sausages.

When the family is together, you look at me, I look at you, and look at each other, the little uncle just came back from the county for a week, and the family rushed up and pinned all their hopes on the little uncle, a person who studied well and had ideas.

But when the little uncle saw the word ham, he was also dumbfounded, he didn't even know what ham was.

In this way, everyone has pointed the finger at the defense of the country.

Dongmei said: "I said let you find a cook near our village, you don't look for it, just find a half-foreign cook, you say that this ham can't be bought, how to make the dish?"

Wei Guo's mother also stood on Dongmei's side in shock, and counted down her son and said: "The second dog in our village can stir-fry, you don't look for it, but you are willing to seek the near and far." ”

Wei Guo said helplessly: "The second dog in our village is a pig killer, what kind of food can he fry." ”

At that time, in Zhaojia Village, everyone basically ate noodles and cereals, because the oil was very rare and expensive, so basically no one ate stir-fried vegetables, which caused everyone to generally not stir-fry.

The second dog who kills pigs can stir-fry vegetables because he kills pigs and can easily get lard, so he has the material basis for stir-frying.

The little uncle also interjected: "The cook of this big canteen, please once, it is estimated that it will cost a lot of money, and next time you can invite the second dog in our village, the countryman, the two dogs are still appetizing." ”

Wei Guo retorted to the little uncle: "One time is enough, and next time, do you want to divorce?"

The little uncle hurriedly explained: "I don't want to divorce, you see the eight villages around us, are there any divorces, I mean what big things will our family do next time, such as your baby's marriage." ”

Wei Guo blinked his eyes and said, "You think so far." ”

Until the day before Bao Guo's wedding, the ham was not bought.

The cook looked at the menu with a straight face, and finally ran to the county by himself, bought back the ham sausage for cooking, and complained all the way: "They are all people who work in the oil fields in the city, and they are so picky that they are reluctant to buy ham, and they will marry my younger brother or something." ”

The uncle's wedding was held as scheduled, vigorously, and he was going to only invite relatives and people who have a good relationship with him, but he didn't expect to invite the whole village, and the scene was so lively.

Within a few days, Chunmei's wedding was also held as scheduled, she married Yan Village and Yan Ning as she wished, but at Chunmei's wedding, Dongmei couldn't help but see the disharmony of the marriage between the two.

Time is like an arrow, and it is time for Wei Guo to go to work and Tao Tao Nana to go to school.

Like the last time he left, Wei Guo's father pulled the rack car, pulled flour and corn for his son and walked at the back, Wei Guo's mother cried and cried, leading her two grandsons, and was reluctant all the way.

Wei Guo and Dongmei walked in front with their luggage respectively.

Separation is always painful, through the glass, Wei Guo's mother said to Taotao: "My baby, don't go, stay with grandpa and grandma." ”

Tao Tao said resolutely: "I don't, I want to live with my mother." ”

Looking at the back of the long-distance bus in the distance, the old couple pulled the empty frame car and returned to the village with tears in their eyes.

And Wei Guo and Dongmei traveled all the way, and it took two days to arrive at the courtyard of the technical school in Naxi, a familiar tin house.
