Tao Tao walked into the bright garden and entered the 13 buildings.

Sitting in the elevator, he couldn't help but think of the angry words he and his father said during the winter vacation of his freshman year.

At that time, Tao Tao sat in the living room and watched TV throughout the winter vacation.

Wei Guo came over and reminded Taotao, "I can't watch TV like you watch TV all day long, right?"

Because Wei Guo's tone of speech was a bit blunt, Tao Tao felt that his father was yelling at him, so he said unceremoniously: "It's a big deal to go to the drilling team in the future and be an old drill." ”

Hearing this, my father was silent for a long time and said: "Is the old diamond so good, if you don't know it, you will suffer for a lifetime." ”

After speaking, my father entered the house in a bad mood.

Although what Tao Tao said at the time was just an unintentional sentence and an angry word, he didn't expect that after graduating from college, he would really become an old diamond.

Out of the elevator, Taotao stood at the door of the house.

Suddenly, he remembered an incident he had experienced when he was in the second year of junior high school.

At that time, the junior high school of Ganquanzi School had been withdrawn, and all junior high school students came to live and go to school in Liquanzi School.

Tao Tao clearly remembers that the person who cooked for everyone in the school cafeteria was a chubby master.

He is from Sichuan, looks like a panda, and is cute.

Because when Tao Tao was queuing up to eat, it was not polite to talk to the master at all, and he did not show the quality that a good student should have.

So, the master criticized Tao Tao in a pure Sichuan dialect and said: "You baby, just study hard, and you will not be able to be a driller in the future......."

Tao Tao felt that this sentence was very funny at the time, and he thought to himself, how can a high-spirited child like himself become a driller in the drilling team in the future?

However, ten years have passed, and Tao Tao found that what the master said back then was too reasonable.

Now I am on the drilling team, and I can't really be a driller.

Thinking a lot and recalling a lot, Tao Tao gently knocked on the door a few times.

Inside the house, Dongmei and Yin Qing were watching TV.

Dongmei knew that Taotao was coming back today, and she waited for a whole day.

Although the sound of the TV was loud, when Dongmei heard the knock on the door, she didn't bother to put on her shoes, and rushed to the door barefoot.

Dongmei opened the door.

She saw that after Tao Tao came back from being an old drill for half a year, the appearance of the whole person had changed.

She was surprised and said, "Taotao, why did you become so dark and so thin?"

After Tao Tao saw his mother, he really wanted to cry.

He suppressed the crying in his heart and said, "Why work in the desert, the sun is very hot, and the wind and sand are also very strong, I am already very good at this."

You haven't seen any other drillers yet, and their skin is even more exaggerated. ”

With that, Tao Tao walked into the house.

When Dongmei usually watches TV, in order to save electricity, she will turn off the headlights in the living room.

When Taotao came in, Dongmei turned on the headlights in the living room.

After Taotao put down the suitcase in his hand, Yin Qing walked over happily.

She looked at Tao Tao and said, "Brother Tao Tao, you're back." ”

Tao Tao looked at Yin Qing, who used to be dark-skinned and thin, but he turned white and fat, and he said in surprise: "Yin Qing, I remember that your skin used to be very dark, why is your skin so white now?"

Yin Qing said with a smile: "In the past, in the countryside, I worked every day, and it was strange that the wind and sun were blowing, and it was not dark.

Now in the city, living in a unit, blowing air conditioning, the sun can't shine, the wind can't blow, it's not in vain. ”

Listening to Yin Qing's playful words, Taotao was amused.

Yin Qing, as Dongmei's mother's family, is like Yongyong, she is outgoing, eloquent, and very eye-catching.

Therefore, she was in Dongmei's house and did not feel restrained at all.

Unlike those relatives of the country, they are not only restrained, but also shy, that is, they don't even dare to look at each other.

Under the light, Dongmei suddenly found that Taotao's left eye was swollen like a peach.

She was surprised and said, "Taotao, what's wrong with your left eye?"

Tao Tao deliberately lowered his head, he covered the wound and said, "I walked carelessly and hit a telephone pole." ”

Hearing that Tao Tao was able to hit a telephone pole, Dongmei said in disbelief: "Really?"

Tao Tao smiled, and said with a very natural expression: "This person is unlucky, he stuffs his teeth when he drinks cold water, I bought shoes for you and my father in Yulin City, I didn't look when I walked, and accidentally touched the telephone pole on the left side of my face, and my eyes were swollen." ”

Dongmei saw that Taotao didn't look like she was lying, so she believed Taotao.

Dongmei asked Taotao and said, "You are in the 40649 drilling team, how do you feel?"

After Taotao sat down, Yin Qing brought the fruit to Taotao.

Tao Tao is on the drilling team, there is no fruit at all, it can be said that he has not eaten fruit for almost three or four months.

Tao Tao ate sweet fruits and said: "The good team is different from the bad team, when I was in the 40656A drilling team, I was bullied every day, I thought all the drilling teams were the same."

As a result, I arrived at the 40649 drilling team, no one bullied me at all, and everyone got along very happily......"

Dongmei felt very relieved to hear that Taotao gradually adapted to the work and life of the drilling team.

Dongmei looked at Taotao who came back from Inner Mongolia, and suddenly remembered when she was young.

At that time, she looked forward to the stars, the moon, and the patriotic country who came back from Xinjiang.

When Wei Guo was in his twenties, he worked as a driller in the Xinjiang desert and could only come back once a year.

Now, his son Taotao, in his twenties, is also working as a driller in the desert, but he is in the desert of Inner Mongolia.

Father and son have become oil workers for two generations.

They all dedicated their youth to oil and to the Ordos Basin.

Dongmei knew that Taotao hadn't seen her father for half a year, so she asked Taotao, "Taotao, how long will you rest when you come back this time?"

Tao Tao finished eating bananas and oranges, and said, "After resting for half a month, I will go up the mountain." ”

Hearing that her son could only stay at home for half a month, Dongmei said regretfully: "Your father just came back half a month later, and you just went to work half a month later, you father and son, it's really not easy to meet." ”

After speaking, Dongmei thought to herself, in the past, she paid attention to fathers and sons in battle, and her brothers in war, but now she is in the oil industry, and she also pays attention to fathers and sons, brothers.

Looking at the Ordos Basin and the Changqing Oilfield, how many fathers and sons are fighting together in the desert, in the mountains, and in the ditch......

How many brothers are together, looking at the single well, working in the small class, and doing the big class......

Although Dongmei believed Taotao and believed that the injury on his eye was caused by him accidentally hitting a telephone pole, Yin Qing was very suspicious.

She is young and has good eyes, unlike Dongmei, who is already a little presbyopia.

Yin Qing took advantage of Dongmei's time to enter the bedroom, and whispered to her: "Auntie, how can I see the injury on my brother Taotao's eyes, it doesn't look like he hit a telephone pole?"

Hearing this, Dong Mei looked at Yin Qing fiercely and said, "Then you say, where did the injury on his eye come from?"

Yin Qing thought for a while, she guessed and said, "How do I feel, the left corner of my Taotao brother's eye seems to have been pierced by something." ”

Hearing this, Dongmei chuckled in her heart.

She knew that the drilling team's work was dangerous, and injuries were not unusual.

However, she didn't expect that this kind of thing could happen to her son today?

So, Dongmei took out her glasses from the drawer, and then walked out of the bedroom and came to Taotao.
