Chapter 40: Moving from Team 8 to the Yard of the Technical School
On the third day, when Wei Guo was still working on the drill floor, he was suddenly stopped by the data clerk standing on the field and asked him to go to the captain's house. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Wei Guo's first reaction was that he had done something wrong and was going to be called to be scolded?
But when Wei Guo stepped into the captain's house, the captain, who has always been iron-faced and selfless, greeted him with a smile, poured Wei Guo a cup of tea, and said politely: "Section Chief Rao asked me to tell you that your family will move tomorrow, I will give you three days off, and you go back to work after finishing your family's affairs." ”
Wei Guo grew his mouth in surprise, thinking that the letter he wrote to Rao Li had just gone back a little bit, and he got a reply, this old classmate's work efficiency is too high.
He hurriedly said, "Okay, I see, thank you, captain." ”
The captain drank his tea and said, "No thanks, let's go." ”
Wei Guo never dared to sit down and drink tea, he turned around and just went out, walked in again, and asked the captain excitedly: "Then do you know, where did my family move from the eighth team?"
The captain put down the tea cup, tasted the tea leaves in his mouth and said, "It seems to be the yard of the technical school on the slope of the base." ”
Wei Guo knew that it was there, saying that it was a technical school, but it was better to say that it was a training center with only a small building, and there was no wall around it.
In the courtyard of the technical school, there are twenty or thirty scrapped camping houses, which are called tin houses by everyone.
Wei Guo hurriedly asked the captain: "I know there, I remember the tin house there, it is full of people, where is our place to live?"
The captain smiled and said: "I heard that a drilling team recently retreated from the scrapped iron house, Section Chief Rao called and asked the crane to lift one over and put it in the yard of the technical school. ”
Wei Guo listened to the captain's words, and was overjoyed, thinking that this difficult thing was easily solved, what a blessing and happiness.
The tin house, as the name suggests, is a small house wrapped in a layer of tin around it, and the space is very small, it is the kind of house that can freeze to death in winter and heat to death in summer.
However, even if such a house is rushed to live in by the workers, Wei Guo feels extremely happy that he is about to live in a new house.
When he returned home, Wei Guo told Dongmei the good news, Dongmei was even more happy, when she thought of her children, she didn't have to take the shuttle bus to school in the future, she didn't have to cross the river, and she could walk home after school every day, Dongmei instantly felt that there was hope for life.
Wei Guo told Dongmei that if it was fast, a moving car would come over the next day, and she would be able to move to the yard of the technical school.
After listening to Wei Guo's words, Dongmei felt that it was like a dream, and this happiness came too quickly and too suddenly.
After lunch, Dongmei felt that the opportunity should be shared with Wan Qing and Guo Lanying.
Dongmei thought that since she could leave the eighth team and live in the yard of the technical school through the relationship of Raoli, it means that there must be extra places in the yard of the technical school, and if Guo Lanying Wanqing and his wife can also move to the base to live, then the education of the child is also very good.
Dongmei seems to remember that Guo Lanying said that Wan Qing has a distant uncle who lives in the base and has a half-official position.
So, Dongmei came to Guo Lanying's house.
When Dongmei passed, she carried a large bucket of rapeseed oil.
Wan Qing was still working in the mountains, and Guo Lanying was cooking for the children on the stove alone.
Hearing Dongmei calling at the door, Guo Lanying hurriedly went over and opened the door.
As soon as Dongmei entered the door, she put the bucket of rapeseed oil on the floor.
Guo Lanying hurriedly lifted the rapeseed oil, stuffed it into Dongmei's hand and said, "What are you doing here, oil is such a valuable thing, you take it home, put it away and eat it slowly, what are you doing here?" ”
Dongmei stopped Guo Lanying's arm, forcibly put the rapeseed oil under the board and said, "Didn't I borrow your oil before, I almost forgot to pay it back." ”
Guo Lanying wiped her hand on her apron, and continued to live on the board and said: "The meal is ready soon, you can sit down and eat some food, remember that you borrowed a bottle of oil, how can you return such a large barrel of oil." ”
Dongmei said half-jokingly: "The grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by the spring." ”
After Guo Lanying finished the meal, she brought it to the table, and by the way, she also served a bowl to Dongmei and said, "Since you are here, you're welcome, eat a bowl too." ”
Dongmei had just finished eating, waved her hand and said, "If you don't eat, just eat it for the three of you." ”
Hearing this, Guo Lanying stood on the edge of the table in a daze, silent.
Dongmei was stunned for a moment, thinking, what's wrong with this Guo Lanying, did she say the wrong thing?
So, she looked at the three bowls of noodle soup that was served, and was dumbfounded.
There is not a drop of oil in the bowls of noodles in Baihuahua, not a single dish, it is boiled noodles with some salt and chili peppers added to it.
Guo Lanying sat down, picked up a bowl of noodles and said while eating: "Wan Qing didn't study well, gambled with others on the well team, and lost half a year's salary. ”
Dongmei knew that Wan Qing's IQ was a little low compared to ordinary people, but she didn't expect to be coaxed and deceived by her colleagues and squeezed out half a year's salary.
Dongmei couldn't help but scold angrily in her heart, these people are too many things, don't you know that his family of four relies on Wan Qing to earn money to support his family?
Dongmei comforted Guo Lanying and said: "Don't be sad, eat a trench and grow wise, he lost this time, and he won't gamble again next time." When Wei Guo came back today, he took some money, and I will go over and take a hundred yuan for you later. ”
Although Guo Lanying needed money very much, she was embarrassed to say: "How can this work, your family also has to live, and you have lent me money, what do you live on." ”
Dongmei explained: "Wei Guo usually doesn't smoke, drink, or spend money indiscriminately, and there is still some spare money at home, so you can use it." ”
Although there was nothing in the bowl of white noodle soup, the two children, Wan Hong and Wan Qiang, ate very fragrantly, not only finished eating the noodles, but also drank the soup.
When people are hungry, no matter how unpalatable the food is, it will be delicious.
Dongmei is back to business, she came this time to provide Guo Lanying with an important piece of information.
She sat next to Guo Lanying and said to Guo Lanying, who was eating, "Do you want to move to the yard of the technical school at the base?"
Guo Lanying picked up the white noodles with chopsticks, ate them and said: "I definitely want to, living in the base is not only convenient to travel, but also close to the children's school, so everything is convenient." ”
Dongmei said mysteriously: "I'll move over tomorrow." ”
Hearing that Dongmei was going to move, Guo Lanying said enviously: "Do you want to move to the building of the base?"
Dongmei shook her head and said: "Where does Weiguo have such a good life, move to the top of the slope, in the courtyard of the technical school, and live in an iron house." ”
Guo Lanying finished eating the noodles, drank the soup and said: "As long as you live in the courtyard of the base, don't say live in a tin house, even halfway up the mountain." ”
Dongmei reminded Guo Lanying: "Since you can transfer an iron house to the yard of the technical school, it means that there is still a place to live in the yard of the technical school." ”
Guo Lanying's eyes lit up instantly and said, "There is still a place, I also want to move there." ”
After speaking, Guo Lanying's excited expression just now lowered her tone again, and said: "Your family Weiguo is a technician and a cadre, and my family Wanqing is just a worker, and he is the lowest wellhead worker, so he has no chance." ”
Dongmei lowered her voice and told Guo Lanying: "Wei Guo doesn't have the ability to move his family over, he entrusted his classmates to do it." ”
This sentence seemed to remind Guo Lanying, she thought about it and said: "Wan Qing's uncle Wan Zhi seems to have a little power, I don't know if we can move over to him." ”
Dongmei encouraged Guo Lanying and said, "Give it a try, maybe it can be done." Children's education is the most important thing. ”
Guo Lanying gave another bowl to the two children who had finished eating noodles, and said to Dongmei: "Wan Qing can't count on it, I wrote a letter to my uncle, begging him to see if he can move over on the issue of Wan Qiang and Wan Hong's education." ”
Guo Lanying is also a woman who does what she says, and after cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, she picked up paper and pen and wrote a letter to her uncle.
After the letter was written, she handed it to Dongmei and said, "Tomorrow after you move to the base, you will drop off this letter at the post office." ”
Dongmei nodded and took the letter.
Just about to go out, Guo Lanying stopped again, Guo Lanying hesitated and said: "Have you heard, there is a legend that the unit will solve the accommodation problem of our eight teams, and two years later, a batch of brick houses will be built on the east side of the courtyard of the technical school and move all of us over." ”
Dongmei nodded and said: "I've heard about this too, but two years later, our children are in the second grade, and the east side of the technical school, I heard that it is a deserted grave of a fellow villager. ”
Dongmei is an anxious person, she is more anxious about everything, and she is also very anxious about housing.
Guo Lanying listened to Dongmei's suggestion and decided that no matter what, she would ask her uncle for help and move to the yard of the technical school at the base and live in a tin house.
Early the next morning, when Taotao got in the car and left, Dongmei stroked Taotao's head and said: "Our family may move today, you are out of school, wait at the school gate for a while, if Dad comes to pick you up, it proves that you have moved, if no one comes to pick you up, you take the shuttle bus back, do you understand." ”
Taotao got into the car, pushed the window glass, and said to Dongmei: "Got it, Mom, where is the yard of the technical school?"
Dongmei turned her head and walked back, and said to Taotao: "It's on the slope." ”
After school in the afternoon, Tao Tao stood at the school gate with his schoolbag on his back and waited.
Qiang Qiang and Tang Tang shouted Taotao next to them: "The shuttle bus is coming soon, let's go and wait below, otherwise we will miss the shuttle bus for a while, and we will not be able to go back." ”
Tao Tao stroked the small schoolbag with his small hand, looked at an incomparably large, asphalt mixed slope in the distance, and said to the two friends: "I don't know if my family has moved over, I'll wait for a while, you go down first." ”
Qiang Qiang and Tang Tang and Tao Tao waved their hands and said, "Then let's go first." ”
Tao Tao stood alone at the entrance of the school, in the open space not far away, waiting for nearly an hour.
When he didn't see his father come to pick him up, he was very hesitant, and the shuttle bus to Team 8 was about to leave, but his father hadn't come yet, had the family moved over, or did they not move over?
Should wait, or go to the place of the shuttle, Taotao was at a loss for a while.
After thinking for a while, Tao Tao got up and walked towards the yard of the technical school on the slope.
Taotao followed the asphalt road and arrived at the slope in a short time.
He looked up at the big slope in front of him, the big slope was too big to his imagination, and for an eight-year-old child, the big slope was a bit beyond his walking range.
However, he still walked up the big slope, climbed about half of it, tired full of big men, and then looked at the distance ahead, thinking about the shuttle bus that was about to start, Tao Tao hesitated.
Then, he turned and walked in the direction of the shuttle.
At this time, Wei Guo and Dongmei were busy packing up their things in the courtyard of the technical school and the tin house on the slope.
Dongmei had long urged Wei Guo to pick up the children from school and clean up by herself.
However, Wei Guo, who was in a hurry, said: "My time is very accurate, you don't need to rush me." ”
Dongmei, who is anxious, is anxious in the face of the chronic Weiguo, and there is no way at all.
Tao Tao walked to the shuttle bus after a while.
At this time, Wei Guo got up and walked towards the slope, ready to pick up Taotao from school and return to his new home.
