Chapter 11 Living in a "Nest in the Ground"

Dongmei walked into the nest and saw that their house was actually a pit dug one meter deep in the floor, and it was dug in all directions, and the pit was surrounded by bricks and tiles to build a low wall about one meter high, and the top of the house was built by several wooden rafters, and the wooden rafters were covered with a raft woven from branches, and the raft was pasted with mud and blades of grass.

Dongmei looked at the house and cried sadly, she felt that where could it be called a house, it was obviously a "enclosure" built in the Guanzhong area, where could people live in it, it was obviously for raising livestock.

However, what Dongmei doesn't know is that Diwozi is a unique way of living in desert areas, although it is simple to make, it can withstand strong winds and sandstorms, and it is warm in winter and cool in summer.

The only drawback is that the ventilation is relatively poor, and it is not protected from rain.

Wei Guo comforted the sad Dongmei who was crying and said: "Fool, what are you crying about, it's not for you to sleep on the streets, this is called "Diwozi", which is very famous in Xinjiang. When the intellectual young people of the Zhijiang came back then, they all lived in the underground nest, and they didn't get married and have children in it, and their lives were still prosperous. ā€

Dongmei said while crying: "It's a hot fart, a house of only two or three square meters in total, and you can't turn around anymore, why is it booming?"

Dongmei's crying is not unreasonable, Guanzhong houses are generally quadrangle or triple courtyards, with many houses and a large area.

Dongmei, who is used to living in a "big house", will not be able to adapt to such a small space for a while.

This is just like the villagers who suddenly live in a building after the transformation of an urban village, and they can't adapt to the same habits and adaptations.

Wei Guo pointed to the furnishings in the nest and said, "Don't cry, if you cry, I want to cry too." You see, although the sparrow is small, although the nest is small, but the unit has a wire bed for us, you see that the words of Changqing Bureau are still written on the sheets, and they are lying down. Also, you look at the honeycomb coal stove, and the big iron pot on the stove, how magnificent. Again, you're looking at this bedside cabinet, but the unit has specially assigned us technicians, ordinary workers, and there are no them. When you have nothing to do, you can sit on a stool and lie on the table and read a novel. ā€

After saying that, Wei Guo ran out of the nest in the ground.

Dongmei, who was still crying just now, was startled when she saw Wei Guo running away all of a sudden, and thought that Wei Guo couldn't stand her crying and ran away from home, she anxiously walked out of the nest, in the back, shouting Wei Guo's name vigorously, but Wei Guo just ignored her, no way, she returned to the nest in despair, lying on the hard wire bed, thinking about the big yard of her hometown, and the big house.

After a while, Wei Guo ran in panting, holding a bunch of novels in his arms, he was sweating on his forehead, and said to Dongmei with a happy smile: "Come here, look, Qiong Yao's "Outside the Window", Sanmao's "The Story of the Sahara", and, also, Jin Yong and Gu Long's martial arts novels, which one do you like to read?"

It turned out that seeing Dongmei crying endlessly, Wei Guo, who had nothing to do, thought of using novels to relieve Dongmei's depressed mood, so he ran to ask a female worker on the team to borrow Qiong Yao and Sanmao's novels, and asked a male worker to borrow a few martial arts novels.

As soon as she heard the novel, Dongmei became interested, she liked to read novels since she was a child, but because she didn't have the money to buy novels to read, she only read "Lin Hai Xueyuan", "Red Flag Spectrum", "Red Rock", and Tolstoy's "War and Peace" in the school reading room.

When I was working in the county for a while, I heard that the romance novels in Taiwan Province were very good, and I always wanted to read them, but I didn't have the opportunity, today Weiguo brought me the novels of Qiong Yao and Sanmao, Dongmei suddenly became interested, and she didn't care about wiping her tears, so she hugged "Outside the Window" and watched it.

Faced with the new environment, Dongmei thought, marry a chicken and a dog with a dog, since she has come here, she must adapt well.

The nest where Dongmei and Weiguo live is very close to the drilling team where Weiguo works, and Dongmei can even clearly hear the roar of drilling.

Wei Guo went to work, leaving Dongmei alone in the nest.

Dongmei's eyes were sour when she read the novel, and she decided to go out for a walk and see the life of the drilling team she longed for.

After going out of the door, I walked for less than ten minutes and walked to the well site.

However, unlike Dongmei's imagination, the derrick was not high enough to pick up the stars in the sky, but only more than thirty meters at most, and it was full of grease and black shiny.

And the windproof and sturdy tin house in Wei Guo's mouth is not as beautiful as he imagined, but rusty and very old, like a scrapped and broken shipping container.

The workers working on the well site were not as handsome and chic as they imagined, they wore dirty oiler clothes, their hair was messy on their heads, their gloves were stained with crude oil, and they worked very hard, running up and down the drill floor, operating all kinds of machines.

Especially at noon, when everyone gathered, holding a porcelain bowl, squatting on the sand, hands black, face was also very dark, chatting and laughing while eating, only the teeth on the whole face were white.

Dongmei suddenly felt that they were the workers in her imagination, not even as good as ordinary farmers, but more like a group of poor Hanako.

At this time, she realized how hard and tiring the work of defending the country was, and it was not easy to work hard outside, and at the same time, she also had a little more respect and understanding for the country.

At this moment, Dongmei was ready to go home on the honeycomb coal stove and order some noodles for herself to eat.

But as soon as she turned her head, she heard a worker on the well site behind her shouting at her: "Auntie, don't go, come in and have a bite to eat before leaving." ā€

At this time, the eyes of all the diners were concentrated, and Dongmei found that many people looked at her, very shy, and hurriedly turned her head and left.

But before he had walked a few steps, he heard footsteps behind him, and when he turned his head, he saw that it was Wei Guo running over.

After Wei Guo saw himself, not only did he not invite himself in to eat, but he blamed her for not coming to the well site, first, the well site is dangerous, they are all iron guys, if a screw falls off the derrick and hits the person's head, it will also pierce the person's skull.

The second is that there are too many singles in the drilling team, what if anyone takes a fancy to Dongmei.

In the face of Weiguo's duties, Dongmei did not complain at all, she understood Weiguo's mood and thoughts very well, and after saying goodbye, she returned to her own nest and never came out, obediently staying inside to read novels.

Because the nests where the workers and their husbands live are very close to each other, and they are next to each other, and the nests are not soundproof at all, and everyone is a newlywed, so every night, the sound comes and goes, which is particularly embarrassing.

That night, sleeping until midnight, Dongmei was suddenly woken up by the sound next door, she turned over and was about to continue sleeping, but found that Wei Guo, who was sleeping next to her, was gone.

She suddenly panicked and nervous in her heart, thinking about where Wei Guo went, whether she should go out to the toilet, because it was dark and the ground nest was tight, she went to the wrong nest and entered someone else's room.

But when I think about it, I don't, although the nest looks the same, but the door can be locked inside and out, and others can't enter at all.

Where did Wei Guo go, should he go out to the toilet in the middle of the night and be taken away by the wolves in the desert, I remember that when I first arrived, an instructor told them not to run around in the desert Gobi, there are desert wolves here.

The more Dongmei thought about it, the more scared she became, the more worried she became, she waited anxiously, but she didn't see Wei Guo's appearance yet.
