The next day, Dongmei's family sent Yongyong to Xilan Road.

Yongyong carried the cake that Dongmei baked for him and said, "Auntie, uncle, you say, is this unit in the well good?"

Dongmei knew that Yongyong was temporarily interning in the underground, but as for whether the underground was good or not, Dongmei didn't know very well.

"Downhole is definitely better than drilling," she said. ”

Wei Guo has been working in the oilfield unit for decades, and he knows very well which unit is good and which unit is bad.

He said: "Yongyong, since you are interning in the underground, then you should try to stay in the underground, compared to drilling, oil testing, workover, exploration, and construction, the downhole is still quite good." ”

Hearing that his uncle said that the underground was good, Yongyong made up his mind in his heart that after the internship was over in the future, he would try to stay in the underground unit.

Hearing that Yongyong might stay in the well, Dongmei suddenly thought of Guo Peng.

She asked Yongyong and said, "Yongyong, do you know Guo Peng, which unit has he been assigned to intern?"

Yongyong shook his head and said: "When Guo Peng was in school, he didn't say hello when he saw me, and after graduating from school, he went out for an internship, and I don't know which unit he was assigned to." ”

Hearing this, Dongmei said worriedly: "This Guo Peng, whether it is good or bad, he doesn't call me to tell him, he is really ignorant." ”

Wei Guo said worriedly: "I am most afraid that Guo Peng will be assigned to the drilling team, where it is dangerous, I am really afraid that he will have an accident and be injured." ”

Yongyong said: "Then I'll inquire from my friends and classmates to see where Guo Peng has gone?"

Dongmei thought that Yongyong was on vacation after his internship, and Guo Peng should also be on vacation.

She said, "It's okay, I'll go back in a while, call his home and ask." ”

Before leaving, Yongyong suddenly took out his mobile phone from his pocket.

He said embarrassedly: "Auntie, this is my mobile phone number, you save it, if you miss me, call me." ”

Seeing that Yong Yong had only worked for half a year, he bought a mobile phone, and it was a flip cover, Caiping, and Xuan, Dongmei said worriedly: "Yongyong, you are all rural children, it is not easy for parents to make money, if you make money, you don't dare to spend it, you must hand it over to your parents." ”

Hearing that my aunt was worried about spending money indiscriminately, Yongyong said: "Auntie, don't worry, I have worked for half a year and earned a total of 10,000 yuan. ”

Hearing this, Dongmei said with relief: "What a good boy, even if you work, you must develop a good habit of saving and saving." ”

After sending Yongyong away, the first thing Dongmei did when she returned home was to call the phone next door to Guo Peng's house.

After calling for a long time, no one answered the phone.

Dongmei took the phone and complained: "This Xiaoying, in fact, should really install a fixed landline phone at home, otherwise it will be really inconvenient to connect." ”

Wei Guo also said next to him: "Yes, there is no phone, and it will delay things." ”

Dongmei made three calls in a row, and Xiaoying's neighbor finally picked up the phone.

He said, "Hey, who's coming?"

Dongmei said politely: "Hello, you are Xiaoying and Guo Lijun next door, please call Xiaoying over for me and answer the phone?"

Hearing that the call to Xiaoying was coming to the house again, the neighbor said with a bad attitude: "In the future, if you are looking for Xiaoying, don't call your house again, this phone is installed by my family, and it is not his decoration, why make trouble for others." ”

Hearing this, Dongmei felt very uncomfortable, and this feeling of being reprimanded by others was really unpleasant.

After a while, Xiaoying picked up the phone.

Dongmei was on the phone, and asked Xiaoying anxiously: "Xiaoying, Guo Peng's internship is over, have you gone back?"

Hearing that Guo Peng had already interned, Xiaoying said in surprise: "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about, isn't Guo Peng still attending secondary school at Changqing Bridge, why did he intern so quickly?"

Hearing that Xiaoying didn't know that Guo Peng had graduated from school for an internship, she said: "Xiaoying, Guo Peng didn't call you to tell me, their group of children have graduated from school and have been working for half a year, Yongyong came to my house to sit for a while just now." ”

Hearing this, Xiaoying couldn't believe it and said: "That Guo Peng in our family, every time he comes back, he doesn't make a sound, I'm busy with the work in the field, and I don't bother to ask, I don't know, he has graduated from school and worked." ”

Hearing that even Guo Peng's mother didn't know Guo Peng's movements, Dongmei asked curiously: "Listening to Yongyong, they have all finished their internships and are on vacation, didn't Guo Peng go back?"

Xiaoying shook her head and said, "No." ”

Wei Guo said anxiously next to him: "This Guo Peng, he has grown so big, he is too ignorant, he doesn't go home on vacation, what are you running around outside?"

After hanging up the phone, Dongmei looked at Wei Guo and said, "Perhaps, Guo Peng's internship unit hasn't had a holiday yet." ”

Wei Guo said affirmatively: "Interns, they are all on vacation together, Guo Peng, this kid, must have earned two bucks and went out to wander around." ”

Dongmei comforted Weiguo and said, "Okay, don't think nonsense, maybe Guo Peng is still on his way home." ”

Wei Guo said worriedly: "You are a family member. You don't know, the workers on the mountain, in every unit, there are a few workers who don't go home after the holidays, take the wages they earn for a year, go out in style, stay in a hotel, make a summary, and wait for all the hard-earned money to be squandered, and then go home like a flower child.

I'm just worried that Guo Peng will become that kind of person. ”

Hearing Wei Guo say such a terrible thing, Dong Mei didn't think it and said: "Guo Peng is also a child from the countryside, knowing that it is not easy for his mother to farm at home alone, and his father is almost fifty years old, and it is hard to work outside, so he will definitely not come nonsense, so you can rest assured." ”

Wei Guo shook his head and said, "Dongmei, no, let's celebrate the New Year this year, let's spend it in our hometown." ”

When she heard that she was going back to her hometown, the first thing that Dongmei thought of was the coldness of her hometown and the inadequacy of life.

She said, "It seems that we haven't been home for several years, do you want to go back to your hometown this year?"

Wei Guo nodded and said, "I want to go back, see my mother, and find Guo Peng by the way, don't lose the child." ”

Dongmei saw that Wei Guo wanted to go back to her hometown, she said: "Hey, since you want to go back, then let's go back, by the way, I should also see my father and mother, as well as my sister Chunmei." ”

And the two children standing next to them still resisted when they heard that they were going back to their hometown for the New Year.

Tao Tao felt that there was no heating in the house in his hometown, it was too cold, and the hot kang was too hot for him to sleep, so he accidentally caught fire.

And Nana thinks that the most painful thing in her hometown is to go to the toilet and squat there until her ass freezes.

Obviously, the two children, who are used to staying in the city, can no longer adapt to the life of their hometown. [.]
