Chapter 44: Back to Home

In the registration room of the guest house, there was a kind old lady who saw Dongmei's orphans and widows coming over, and hurriedly greeted them and asked, "Are you staying?"

Dongmei looked at the old aunt in general and felt that she didn't look like a bad person, so she nodded and said, "What about the accommodation, how much is it for a night." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The old aunt looked at Dongmei, and then said, "Then it depends on whether you want to live in a standard room or a general room." ”

Dongmei put down the big bag she was carrying, wiped the sweat on her forehead and said, "Anyway, it's the cheapest one." ”

When the old aunt heard this, she led Dongmei and the child to the bottom of a staircase, and then pointed to the house under the stairs and said, "This is the cheapest, see if you can't live there." ”

Dongmei pushed open the door and walked in, and found that although the ceiling of this house was a staircase, and if someone walked on the stairs, the sound of knocking could be heard, but the house was relatively clean, with electric kettles, basins, sheets, and urinals.

The main thing is that this house is the brightest place in this hospitality, and there are tenants walking around constantly, which is a relatively safe house.

Dongmei nodded and said, "Yes, I'll live, how much does it cost to stay here for one night?"

The old aunt simply registered, and then said: "Originally, it was five yuan, but I see that you are quite simple, you should be from the countryside, and it is not easy to take a child, so I will give three yuan." ”

Dongmei hurriedly paid the money, thanked the old aunt, and moved in.

She locked the door, still not at ease, so she found another stool and pushed it up to completely put her mind at ease.

Dongmei, who was sitting on the bed, finally breathed a sigh of relief and finally settled down.

After Dongmei poured a cup of hot water for each of the two children, she began to make the bed.

What made Dongmei overjoyed was that the guest house for three yuan a night actually provided an electric mattress, which she really didn't expect.

Although it was cold in the house, it was much warmer after drinking hot water and getting into the quilt with an electric mattress.

After the lights were turned off, the two children quickly fell asleep, but Dongmei was half asleep and always kept the vigilance of motherhood to protect the children.

Before dawn the next day, Dongmei woke up the two sleeping children.

There are not many cars from the provincial capital to her hometown, and Dongmei must go there early so as not to miss the few cars that are there for a long journey.

Tao Tao was very obedient, hearing his mother's words, he immediately got out of the bed, he was wearing cotton pants, while feeling that his little heart was trembling slightly, I don't know if this tremor comes from the cold, or from the child's alertness when he is away.

But Nana couldn't scream, and Dongmei could only dress the sleeping Nana until she woke up.

When she walked out of the door, Dongmei looked at the two big bags in front of her and began to have a headache.

These two big bags were prepared by Wei Guo, and Wei was originally going to bring them back to his hometown, but due to temporary changes, they could only be replaced by Dongmei.

These two big bags contain some strange things, what canvas, brown rope, work shoes, these winter plums can still be understood, and they can come in handy after bringing them back to their hometown.

What Dongmei doesn't understand is that there are still a lot of thin iron sheets in this bag, Dongmei is thinking about it, how can he not understand the purpose of these things, he really can't figure out what Wei Guo is doing with such a dead and heavy thing, all the way home.

Walking on the streets of the provincial capital, the sky is gradually brightening, the streets are full of traffic, and the bustling crowd is going back and forth.

Dongmei was carrying two big bags in her stomach, for fear that the child would get lost, so she asked Nana to grab the corner of her right clothes, let Taotao grab the tie of the left bag, and then let Taotao grab her sister's other hand, so that it was a double insurance.

finally found a bus stop sign, but Dongmei couldn't look at the bus stop sign and couldn't tell the difference between back and forth.

No way, she could only see a bus coming, so she rushed to the door and asked the driver: "Master, whether this car is going to Yuxiangmen." ”

At that time, the bus was still a particularly long tram, Dongmei didn't know how many buses she asked, and finally found a bus to Yuxiangmen.

Dongmei, like a man, first lifted the two big bags to the door of the car, then threw one with her left hand and one with her right hand, and threw them on the car respectively, then picked up Nana, pulled Taotao, and ran on the bus.

The passengers on the bus were very surprised when they saw Dongmei's fierce appearance.

Take a long-distance bus from Yuxiangmen to the county, and then from the county to the three-way intersection of the "third line", and finally take a step away from the village of my hometown.

However, the rest of the road was only a dirt road, and there was no traffic, so it could only be reached on foot.

The snow on the ground was very thick, and Dongmei was carrying two big bags, one deep and one shallow, walking on the road, while the two children followed Dongmei like farts and walked staggeringly.

After walking about half the way, Dong Meiti's legs were weak because the two big bags were too heavy, but as far as she could see, there was no one around, so she could only find a long stick and carry the slightly lighter big bag in her right hand, and the slightly heavier big bag and Taotao carried it up.

Tao Tao's strengths in carrying a stick, and his own shortcomings in lifting a stick, so that Taotao will not be too tired.

walked all the way, Taotao didn't cry out bitter and tired.

Dongmei looked at Taotao's resolute expression, after all, she was a boy, and she could share some of it for her mother at a critical moment, no wonder she had to give birth to a boy in the countryside, which still made some sense.

But after a while, Dongmei denied her own theory, in the countryside, compared to boys, girls are generally more filial to their parents, and caring, boys will follow their mother-in-law in the future, only girls are the most reliable.

Finally arrived at the door of the house, facing the familiar head gate, the familiar yard, the familiar bungalow, Dongmei was full of emotion, in the end, she was born and raised her hometown, even the air felt very fresh, and a sense of security and steadfastness also surrounded her.

Wei Guo's parents heard the sound of the door opening and walked out of the house in the front yard, and when they saw their two grandchildren, Wei Guo's mother cried excitedly.

Wei Guo's mother thinks about her grandson, and stands at the entrance of the village every day, looking forward to the day when her two grandsons can appear in front of her eyes.

Dongmei really hated these two big bags, she almost didn't tire people to death, and she had to settle accounts with Wei Guo after the autumn.

But from Wei Guo's mother, I learned that Wei Guo hadn't arrived home yet.

Dongmei wondered why Wei Guo had left earlier than herself, so why she hadn't come back yet.

But coincidentally, when Dongmei arrived home in the afternoon, Wei Guo arrived home that night.

The two didn't know if they didn't talk, but they didn't know that at the same time that Dongmei arrived in the provincial capital, Wei Guo also arrived in the provincial capital, and he took the car in Yuxiangmen one after another.

However, because there was no mobile phone at the time, they could not contact each other, let alone know each other's information, so they were in the same city, but they missed each other.

Dongmei sighed, and mentally imagined: "If only you hugged the phone, I would also hold the phone, so that we would know where each other was." ”

Wei Guo laughed at Dongmei in the Arabian Nights: "The phone is not a walkie-talkie, the phone must have a telephone line, you go around with a phone, I walk around with a phone, do you think it's possible?"

Dongmei nodded, feeling that her idea was simply wild, and even if it was in the future, it would not be realized.

In that era when there were no mobile phones, it was difficult for people to imagine the popularity of mobile phones and the convenience of communication more than ten years later.

Knowing that Dongmei's family had returned, acquaintances from the village came to visit the country.

Xueying led Weiwei and Huixia led Shaojun, and the country was very lively for a while.

And Tao Tao shuttled through the crowd and had a lot of fun, but he didn't speak the dialect of his hometown when communicating with everyone, but spoke authentic Mandarin.

Everyone praised Taotao for being from the city now, and he spoke with a nice accent.

And Nana also learned from her brother's example, speaking standard Mandarin.

When everyone thought that the brother and sister had forgotten or could not speak in tongues, they found that the brother and sister spoke fluent dialects when they communicated with Dongmei Weiguo.

In the face of the child, who can speak Mandarin and dialect, Dongmei is also drunk.

After everyone dispersed, she taught Taotao and Nana a good lesson.

Dongmei called Tao Tao and Nana to him and asked him, "Do you speak in tongues?"

Tao Tao said, "Yes." ”

Dongmei asked, "Then why do you want to talk to everyone in Mandarin?"

Tao Tao said: "Because Mandarin is easy to express, some words in the dialect cannot be expressed. ”

Dongmei nodded and said, "Okay, then you and I will talk to your father in the future, and you will also use Mandarin, not dialects." ”

Tao Tao scratched the back of his head embarrassedly and said, "I am used to speaking the dialect of our hometown with you and my father, and I can't speak Mandarin instead." ”

Hearing her brother's words, Nana, who was standing on the side, smiled from ear to ear.

Dongmei pointed at Nana and said, "Don't laugh at others, and you, why do you also speak Mandarin with everyone?"

Nana said aggrievedly: "If my brother speaks Mandarin, I will speak Mandarin, and if my brother speaks dialects, I will speak dialects." ”

Hearing Nana push the responsibility on herself, Taotao glanced at Nana and said, "Don't learn from me, follow the fart." ”

Dongmei turned her head to Taotao and said: "If you want to speak Mandarin, you can speak Mandarin with everyone, including your grandparents, if you want to speak in dialects, you can speak in dialects with everyone, don't speak dialects for a while, speak Mandarin for a while, do you hear it?" ”

Tao Tao nodded helplessly.

The next day, Wei Guo mysteriously opened the big bag that Dong Mei brought back, and took things out of it one by one.

Wei Guo took out the canvas, Dongmei asked him what to do with the canvas, Wei Guo said that when he was doing things in his hometown, he built a scaffold, and the canvas came in handy.

Wei Guo took out the brown rope again, and Dongmei asked him what he was doing with this?

Wei Guo said that pulling carts in his hometown, hanging corn cobs, etc., all need brown ropes.

Dongmei looked at Wei Guodao in surprise: "You just take the things of the public and damage the public and private interests, the child is in front of you, you set a bad example like this." ”

Wei Guo said aggrievedly: "You don't see that what I got back is some shabby things, the canvas is not needed by the unit, and the brown rope is used by the unit, which is all detected from the garbage pit of the drilling team." ”

In the end, Wei Guo took out a number of iron pieces from his bag, and then looked at them and laughed silently.

When Dongmei was curious about the purpose of these iron sheets, she saw Wei Guo rush into the kitchen and take out a big black pot with a small hole, and then took out an iron basin with a big hole from the house in the backyard, and carefully compared the iron sheet on it.

Seeing this scene, Dongmei finally understood the purpose of this iron sheet, and thought that she was about to be exhausted to death by these broken things along the way, and she couldn't help but feel a nameless fire in her heart that began to spread.
