Another hour passed, Taotao's mental defense began to collapse, he missed his father, but his father didn't come down in the agency building, he missed his mother, but he forgot the way he had just come, and the helpless Taotao slowly began to cry. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At this time, the only thing that could comfort him was the black and white panda trash can, he walked up to the panda, held the panda's round head with both hands, put his face on the panda's head, and cried sadly.

The sun hung red in the sky, the surrounding pine trees stood majestically on the side of the road, and Tao Tao cried while looking at the door of the office building with longing eyes, looking forward to the appearance of his father.

Slowly, in the building, people came out one after another, but one by one, they didn't see their father come out.

Occasionally, someone walked up to the crying child, lowered their heads and asked him with concern, "Little friend, why are you crying here?"

Tao Tao didn't speak Mandarin, and he said in the dialect of his hometown: "I'll wait for Dad." ”

After speaking, Tao Tao will also point to the opposite organ building with his finger.

The person who cared about him continued to ask: "Then what is your father's name, I'll go in and find it for you." ”

Tao Tao blurted out: "Dog baby." ”

Tao Tao didn't know what his father's full name was, he only knew that every time his father came back from Xinjiang, the people in the village would shout at him, how much money did your father earn you when he came back.

When the concerned people heard the word "dog baby", they were first surprised, and then shook their heads helplessly and left.

Tao Tao also wanted to approach the government building to find his father, but Tao Tao, who was used to staying in the countryside, had never seen such a majestic building, so he didn't have the courage to go in and find it.

In the afternoon, Wei Guo finally walked out of the building, he saw his son wearing clean clothes, and he actually fell asleep with a dirty trash can, and couldn't help but have a fire in his stomach, rushed to him, lifted Tao Tao's arm, and kicked Tao Tao's ass.

Taotao, who thought he would be kicked and cried, stood up and smiled at Wei Guo.

The child finally waited for his father, with his father by his side, even if his father beat him every day, he did not dislike it.

Wei Guo looked at Tao Tao, who was smiling, and found the tears on Tao Tao's face, only to realize that he was careless, and let a six-year-old child wait for him alone at the door for an afternoon.

Moreover, his children can't speak Mandarin, and it is easy to be deceived by people with bad intentions, and it is not uncommon for children to be abducted by traffickers in their unit, thinking of this, he gasped.

In order to compensate the child, he led the child to the largest supply and marketing cooperative, and let Taotao pick what he wanted.

The child drooled and looked around, and only two pieces of bread were given, one for himself and one for his sister.

What Wei Guo didn't know was that although there were a variety of snacks in the supply and marketing cooperative, there was only one kind of food that Tao Tao knew.

Wei Guo originally wanted to buy a toy for Tao Taozai, but when he touched the less than fifty yuan left on his body, he still dispelled the idea, because the only money was the living expenses of their family for the next month.

The house assigned to Sister Wang was finally good, and on her fiftieth birthday, the house that she had been looking forward to all her life was finally done, and Sister Wang packed up the things left in the guest house with excitement.

Dongmei helped Sister Wang clean up, and at the same time asked Taotao to go downstairs to Weiguo to ask for money, ready to pay back the money to Sister Wang.

Fifty yuan was received in her hand, Sister Wang hesitated for a long time and said: "I can't read, how much money I can find for you, I can't count it, you are a high school student, count it for me." ”

Dongmei helped Sister Wang put everything into the snakeskin bag, and casually calculated that she was looking for thirty.

Sister Wang moved away, and Dongmei was lying on the bed in the empty guest house alone, watching the surrounding family members move out one by one, and she didn't know how long she would live in the guest house.

When Wei Guo went to the leader to ask for a house, he followed the leader's butt for an afternoon, and all he waited for was four words: continue to wait.

At this time, Dongmei suddenly thought of Guo Lanying, a good sister in Xinjiang a few years ago, and didn't know where she lived now, maybe they could help themselves.

said that she was looking for it, and Dongmei went downstairs to find Wei Guo, who was lying on the bed at a loss.

Dongmei sat on the edge of Wei Guo's bed, patted Wei Guo's thigh and said, "Head of the family, what do you want?"

Wei Guo said wistfully: "What else can you think, when do you want to pay your salary." ”

Dongmei looked at Wei Guo and said: "Only by settling down can we make a life, we don't even have a home to shelter from the wind and rain, how can we make a life." Finding a house is a big deal, do you know where Guo Lanying and Wan Qing live now?"

Wei Guo suddenly thought of something and said: "They are husband and wife, and they lead their two children to live in Team Eight. ”

Dongmei's psychology seemed to have ignited a glimmer of hope, and she hurriedly asked: "Where is Team Eight?" ”

Wei Guo pointed to the other side of the river in the distance and said, "Team 8 is on the other side of the river. ”

Dongmei asked, "Is it far from the other side of the river?"

Wei Guo said: "The other side of the river is not far away, but the eighth team is far away, and it takes two hours to drive from here. ”

In Dongmei's thought, it was not a problem, the most important thing was that there must be basic facilities there, such as hospitals and schools, so she asked, "Is there a school there?"

Wei Guo shook his head and said, "No." ”

Dongmei continued to ask, "Is there a hospital then?"

Wei Guo said: "No. ”

Dongmei said disheartenedly: "What if we live in the past." ”

Wei Guo said: "There are about 200 people living there. ”

Dongmei asked puzzledly: "What about the children of more than 200 people who go to school and see a doctor?"

Wei Guo smiled and said: "What else can I do? Take the bus back and forth, the adults come to work by car, and the children come to school by car." ”

Dongmei paused, and thought about it, as long as there is a house, you can take the car back and forth, so she said decisively: "Then let's move to the eighth team to live, and move in the afternoon." ”

Wei Guo sighed and said, "Even so, Team Eight doesn't have a spare house for us to live in." ”

Dongmei cried and said, "We have no hope for the house at the base, and we don't have hope for the house of Team Eight?"

Wei Guo hesitated and said, "There is no hope, we have to move to Team 8 in the afternoon." ”

Dongmei listened to Wei Guo's words, and the second monk was puzzled and said, "There is no hope, what are you moving there for?" ”

Wei Guo said shyly: "This month, we have twenty yuan left, and we still have to eat, if we live in a guest house, we won't even have money for food." ”

Dongmei took out all the money in her pocket, counted it and said, "Isn't there still thirty fast money?"

Wei Guo looked at Dongmei in surprise and said, "You borrowed thirty yuan from Sister Wang, and I gave you fifty yuan to pay back, how can there be thirty." ”

At this time, Dongmei suddenly realized that she had miscalculated the account for Sister Wang, and she actually took ten more yuan from Sister Wang.

After speaking, she ran out of the guest house and chased her all the way to the road, but Sister Wang disappeared without a trace.

Dongmei blamed herself and returned to the guest house, and said silently in her heart, how could she be so confused, let others look like she still deceived the illiterate Sister Wang ten yuan, no matter what, he must find Sister Wang and return the ten yuan owed to Sister Wang.

But the community is so big, with a population of tens of thousands, and I don't know Sister Wang's full name at all, I only know that her surname is Wang, how to find it.

Wei Guo applied to the unit, packed his things, took the shuttle bus from the base to the eighth team in the afternoon, and prepared to go to the eighth team and go to his friend Wan Qing's house.

Carrying a large bag and a small bag, sitting in a sedan car sent to the eighth team, all the way over the mountains and mountains, the most terrible thing is to wade through a river, and the bridge on the river is almost the same height as the water, every rainy season or rising water, the original small bridge is hidden in the river, at this time the driver has to rely on experience, carefully cross the river.

After running for two hours, I finally arrived at Team Eight.

Wei Guo was carrying a bag, and Dongmei was carrying two children, and they inquired about the addresses of Guo Lanying and Wan Qing's family from door to door, like refugees.

Team 8 is not actually a team, but a small place that sits at the foot of the mountain, on a slightly open flat land, with six rows and 36 houses.

There is no water here, the drinking water of the 200 people is all relied on, the water tanker is delivered once every three days, there is no regular toilet here, only a shanty with thatch, there is no playground for children to play here, the only place for children to play is a huge sand pile in the northeast corner of the community, which is the construction sand that the villagers fished out of the river.

After searching for a long time, I finally found Guo Lanying and Wan Qing's house in the second row on the right.

For the arrival of Weiguo and Dongmei, Wan Qing and his wife were extremely surprised, in that era when there were no phones and mobile phones, everything came suddenly after all.

Wan Qing and his daughter-in-law warmly welcomed Wei Guo Dongmei and his wife into the house.

Guo Lanying was even more excited, when she was in Xinjiang, she and Dongmei were pregnant together, and finally returned to their hometown to give birth to a baby, and finally gave birth to a second child together, and they were all girls.

Guo Lanying spread the sheets on the bed, and hurriedly let the four members of the Weiguo family sit on the bed, simply pulled and lengthened, and picked up the cooking.

At that time, like all working-class families, Guo Lanying's family was also very simple, with a bed, a table, two stools, and pots and pans.

What puzzled Dongmei was that the light bulb of Wan Qing's house was broken, and the residue of the light bulb fell on the ground and was not cleaned up, and the house was dark.

What Dongmei didn't know was that before they came over, Wan Qing and Guo Lanying had just quarreled over a trivial matter, they had intellectual disabilities, and the moody Wan Qing broke the light bulb, and when Dongmei and Wei Guo knocked on the door, Guo Lanying rushed to wipe away her tears.

At this time, Taotao was extremely excited, because he saw two children as old as himself, one is Wan Qiang (Qiangqiang), the other is Wan Hong (Honghong), these days out, because he can't speak Mandarin, he doesn't dare to play with the children around him, he takes his sister to play, and now he finally found a playmate, and he found that when Qiang Qiang and adults talk, they all use dialects, and they speak in dialects similar to themselves.

Qiang Qiang is the same age as Tao Tao, a little taller than Tao Tao, but his body is much stronger than Tao Tao.

Tao Tao looked strong for a long time, took the initiative to come forward to say hello, said in dialect, and learned the way to make friends in textbooks and said: "Hello, my name is Tao Tao, can I make a friend?"

To Taotao's surprise, Qiangqiang, who was still talking to adults in dialect just now, said to Taotao in standard Mandarin: "Okay, let's be friends, come, pull the hook and hang yourself." After speaking, Qiang Qiang stretched out his little thumb.

Tao Tao was stunned by Qiangqiang's rapid switch between dialect and Mandarin, and it took a long time to stretch out his little finger and Qiangqiang's hook and hang himself.

The two children seriously crossed their little fingers together, and said together in their mouths: "Hang on the hook for a hundred years, make a friend and don't change, whoever changes is a puppy." ”

The three-year-old Nana and Honghong next to them also followed the example of their brothers, stretched out their little thumbs and hooked themselves.

Soon, Guo Lanying made the rice and brought it to the table, a fragrant pot of soup noodles, one bowl per person, although there were no snacks and stir-fried vegetables on the table except for noodles, but Dongmei Weiguo and his wife felt that they were already very happy, because in their consciousness, from childhood to adulthood, Northwest people do not eat stir-fried vegetables, because there are no vegetables to fry, and there is not enough money to buy them, they are all a bowl of noodles, noodles are eaten, and soup is drunk.
