Dongmei asked Taotao: "Since it's so cold, then you can find a place to warm up." ”

Tao Tao cried and said: "The driller only gave me three minutes to call, and after the call, I have to go up to the drill floor to continue working." ”

Dongmei's brows tightened, and she said, "Since it's so cold, then you go back to the house and add a few more clothes." ”

Tao Tao cried and said: "You can't wear too thick clothes, otherwise you will sweat when you work, and when the cold wind blows, it will be even colder." ”

Dongmei had nothing to do, she asked, "Since it's so cold, and you can't find a place to warm up, and you can't add clothes, what should I do?"

What about the others, aren't the others cold?"

Hearing this, Tao Tao, who was talking on the phone at the well site, looked at Zhao Bo and Cheng Zhengjie who were working on the drill floor, the two of them were sprayed with mud worse than themselves, and it can be said that their underwear was sprayed wet, but they still continued to work.

Tao Tao said: "Everyone else is like me, everyone is cold, but they all grit their teeth and persevere. ”

Dongmei sighed, and she said, "Since everyone is insisting, then you should also persevere." ”

Tao Tao said bitterly: "It's only twelve o'clock now, and I can get off work at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, and I have to endure the pain like this for eight hours, how can I persevere, I'm afraid of being frozen to death." ”

Because the night was very quiet, Wei Guo heard Taotao's voice on the phone clearly.

He hurriedly crawled out of the bed.

He took the phone in Dongmei's hand and said, "Taotao, if you really can't hold on, you go back to the house to rest." ”

Tao Tao said scaredly: "However, everyone is working, I don't dare to go back to the house to rest." ”

Although Dongmei can't realize what kind of cold the cold in Taotao's mouth is, Wei Guo knows the horror of the cold very well in his heart.

After all, he is also a driller, and he has also experienced the pain of minus 30 degrees Celsius, soaked clothes, and frozen into ice on the drilling platform in Xinjiang.

Wei Guo said directly to Taotao: "No, you will go and resign for the captain tomorrow." ”

Hearing this, Tao Tao was stunned, he said: "I finally got a formal job, if I resign, wouldn't I be unemployed again." ”

Wei Guo said directly: "You come back to the provincial capital, I will invest in you, you go to open a store, no matter how good the unit is, you will earn 40,000 yuan a year, if you open a store, maybe you can earn 40,000 yuan a month." ”

Although Tao Tao said that he didn't want to do it anymore, he wanted to resign and go home.

However, in his bones, he still cherishes this job.

After all, I went through a lot of pain and twists and turns in order to get this job.

Faced with his father's words, Taotao didn't know what to do?

While Tao Tao was thinking, the driller on the drill floor yelled at Tao Tao on the edge of the well site: "Cui Tao, what are you doing, hurry up and come up to work." ”

Taotao hurriedly hung up his mobile phone, rushed to the drill floor, and continued to work.

Tao Tao was climbing up the escalator, and the pain of the cold all over his body was always tormenting him.

At this time, he finally realized what Xiaoqiang told him.

Last winter, when he called Xiao Qiang, a classmate who had already worked in the drilling team, Xiao Qiang told Tao Tao that when he worked the night shift, he had to wear four pairs of socks to ensure that his feet were not frostbitten.

Tao Tao didn't believe it at the time, he couldn't even think about what it was like to wear four pairs of socks.

But now, he completely understands that if he doesn't wear four pairs of socks, his feet can really get frostbitten.

And Tao Tao's feet no longer have any sensation at this time, just like two cold iron lumps.

After Tao Tao climbed onto the drill floor, like everyone else, he continued to endure the pain and continue to work.

Next to the well site, there was a dog tied to it.

At night, it screams in pain.

Tao Tao listened to the dog roaring on the edge of the well yard while working.

He knew that dogs, like people, were crying out from the cold.

If you are a dog, you will also roar heartbreakingly, maybe that way, you can reduce the pain of the cold.

Time passed minute by minute, and the pain of extreme cold was tormenting Taotao's will every minute and every second.

He didn't want to do anything at this time, so he wanted to go back to the dormitory, turn on the electric heater, and then make the house hot, and finally get into the quilt, like a cicada chrysalis, and stay quietly.

At this moment, for Taotao, nothing is important in this world, only warmth is the most important thing.

Tao Tao felt that he had been frozen without a trace of fire.

He felt like a zombie, repeating countless simple mechanical movements.

In the cold wind, Tao Tao recalled the scene when he complained about his happy life in the past.

He said in his heart that he was really stupid before, in that kind of place where he could not only eat enough, but also dress warmly, and there was a hot bed, he still complained and was dissatisfied with life.

Now that I think about it, I was really stupid.

Tao Tao once said in front of his parents that he would rather go out to work than stay at home and be constrained.

His father told him that when he went outside, how could he be comfortable at home?

Tao Tao didn't believe it at all.

He felt that he should go out and break into the world, so that was called life.

But now, Tao Tao feels that what his father said is simply a wise saying.

Now, as long as you let yourself go home and return to that warm everyone, even if your parents scold you every day and beat you every day, you are willing, as long as it is not cold.

Tao Tao once told his father that even if he was killed, he would not go to his father's cementing team, just because the cementing team would work with his father, and he felt awkward.

But now, Taotao feels that his father's cementing team is heaven, at least he doesn't have to continue to work like the drilling team, which is soaked with mud at night at minus 30 degrees.

At this time, the waves were cold and drowsy, tired and sleepy.

However, even so, he still had to work, because tonight's work must be completed before the end of the day, otherwise he would have to continue to work until the workload was completed.

Tao Tao looked at the mud spraying out of the drill pipe, and he suddenly thought of the Eskimos living in the Arctic, their wise saying: people who have warm clothes to wear are happy people.

When Tao Tao saw this sentence from the book, he was still in college.

At that time, he was pampered and could not understand the meaning of this sentence at all.

He even laughed at this sentence, what kind of bullshit quote?

But now, Taotao really understands, and understands it very thoroughly.

It is really the people who have warm clothes to wear are the happiest people.

In the house in the provincial capital, when Dongmei and Wei Guo hung up Taotao's phone, both of them were in a very bad mood.

The two of them didn't feel sleepy at all.

Wei Guo sat on the edge of the bed, naked, and said, "Forget it, let Taotao come back." ”

Dongmei put on a military coat, stood next to the table, and said, "What should I do when I come back, did I throw away the job I finally got like this?"
