On this day, Tao Tao was no longer satisfied with looking for liberation shoes in the garbage heap, he would run to the dirt road a little farther away to find a pair of larger liberation shoes, so that he could take them home and make soles for his father and mother.

After searching for a long time, he finally found a pair of discarded and good liberation shoes behind a stone, and he happily carried the shoes in his arms and walked back the same way.

However, when he walked to the gate of the community, he was blocked by several second- and third-grade children, who asked Tao Tao if he was a child of Team 8.

Tao Tao nodded and said yes.

As soon as the children heard that Tao Tao spoke in dialect, not Mandarin, and looked at Tao Tao's dirty face, messy hair, and not very clean clothes, they decided that Tao Tao was a child from a nearby villager, not a child from the Eighth Team community, so they blocked Tao Tao's way and resolutely refused to let him in.

Tao Tao had encountered this situation before, and he would always wait until the big brothers came home before he sneaked home.

But this time, Tao Tao knew that his mother and father were still waiting for the liberation shoes he had picked up, so they had to go in.

A few children just refused, saying that if Tao Tao went in, he would steal things, so he began to pull Tao Tao, Tao Tao desperately resisted, and finally was outnumbered, and was beaten by several senior brothers, and broke his nose and bleeded.

Dongmei saw Taotao who had returned home, her mouth was full of blood, and she was suddenly full of anger, ready to lead Taotao to find the children, but when she turned her head and thought about it, this could not solve the problem, the key to the problem was to follow the local customs.

So, she threw away the upper of the shoe she was making, pulled Tao Tao to her, wiped the blood from the corner of Tao Tao's mouth, and said solemnly to Tao Tao: "We won't speak the dialect of our hometown in the future, how about we speak Mandarin?"

Tao Tao choked up and said, "Okay, but I won't say." ”

Dongmei patted the dust on Taotao's body and said: "Everything is learned, I can't say it, let's learn, sooner or later." ”

Taotao nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Dongmei suddenly stopped what she was doing, pointed at Taotao with her finger, and said in broken Mandarin: "Okay, from now on, no one is allowed to speak dialects, all communication in our family must be in Mandarin, and if anyone speaks dialects, they must re-say the words in dialects in Mandarin." ”

After Dongmei finished speaking broken Mandarin, she wrapped her tongue around her mouth, and she felt very uncomfortable, as an adult, she had spoken a dialect for thirty years, and suddenly changed to Mandarin, not to mention how uncomfortable she was.

Tao Tao smiled and replied in Mandarin: "Okay, we will speak Mandarin in the future." ”

Since then, there has been a strange phenomenon in the house, Dongmei and Taotao Nana talk, in Mandarin, and Weiguo speak in dialect, sometimes when a family of four speaks together, one will speak dialect, one will speak Mandarin, and even sometimes dialects and Mandarin are mixed together, foreign guns are weird, making everyone cover their heads and laugh, but even so, Dongmei must insist on speaking Mandarin.

In less than half a month, Dongmei found that Taotao and Nana can speak standard Mandarin fluently, and can use many dialects that are not in Mandarin to pronounce words in Mandarin, but Dongmei's own Mandarin is still so blunt, there is no change at all, she mentally sighs that the child's language talent is really amazing, and at the same time psychological reverie, if the child is placed in an environment where foreign languages are spoken, maybe in less than three months, the child will be able to speak fluent foreign language.

Although Dongmei is a rural woman, whenever she watches the news, when she sees the translator translating Russian, she is always envious, she likes Russian very much in high school (at that time, I didn't learn English in high school, I learned Russian), but there were no good teachers and conditions to learn Russian, so he had no choice but to give up.

At noon, Dongmei made an exception for everyone to make a pot of fragrant noodles.

Zangzi noodles, as the name suggests, are in need of meat, but the meat is too expensive, the family can't afford it, Dongmei had an idea, went to buy some cheap tofu dices, and bought a little lard, plus some wild onions and garlic sprouts pulled in the field, as well as wild vegetables, all gathered together, a pot of fragrant Zangzi noodles was made.

A family of four gathered around a small table, sweating profusely eating, and the two children had to pick up the bowl after eating noodles and drinking soup, stretching out their tongues, and licking the bottom of the bowl.

After eating, the family chatted around the bed (in that era when there was no TV, chatting was the only family entertainment), Wei Guo took advantage of the child's inattention and quietly took Dongmei's hand.

Dongmei hurriedly shook off Wei Guo's hand and said, "The child is here, what are you doing?"

Wei Guo looked at Dongmei's eyes and said, "It's time, I'm going to work tomorrow." ”

Dongmei knew that Weiguo was going to work soon, but she didn't know exactly what day it was, and suddenly knew that it was tomorrow, Dongmei's heart was still faintly reluctant, but she said in her mouth: "Hurry up, go to work hard, and earn tuition for the doll." ”

Wei Guo was a little ashamed and said: "Well, I know! I will go, and it will take about half a year to come back, and the two children will be handed over to you." ”

Dongmei said: "Go with confidence, leave the child to me, don't worry about it, just pay attention to your own safety at work." ”

The work of Wei Guogan is dangerous in the field, and on average, every year, workers are disabled or killed due to mechanical injuries.

Wei Guo nodded silently.

Dongmei suddenly raised her voice and said: "Don't just nod your head, you have to ensure safety, this child who is waiting to be fed, and this family that has just settled down, can all count on you alone." ”

Wei Guo felt the pressure on himself, his salary was meager, Wei Guo was reluctant to spend a penny on himself, and now that he came out of the countryside, he was ready to hand over the money he earned to Dongmei.

Wei Guo raised his left hand seriously and said, "I, Cui Weiguo, will definitely promise that I will go to work happily and return home safely." ”

Dongmei laughed out loud at Wei Guo's pretense, but this laugh made her think of a more serious problem, the education of her son.

Since Tao Tao came out with his family, because of the frequent moves, Tao Tao basically abandoned his studies, and he didn't have time to sign up for the doll to go to school.

Dongmei called Tao Tao, who was playing with Nana on the side, over and asked him, "Tao Wazi, do you want to go to school?"

Dongmei looked at Taotao, who loved to learn, expectantly, thinking that he would eagerly say that I wanted to go to school.

But he never thought about it, but Tao Tao said loudly: "I don't want to go to school." ”

Dongmei couldn't close her mouth in surprise, it was only a few days since she came out of the countryside, why did the doll change so much, she didn't like going to school anymore, and the angry Dongmei raised her hand to hit Taotao's ass.

Wei Guo's eyes were quick, and he grabbed Dongmei's hand and said: "You know how to beat, you know that the dolls when you were a child are usually killed by your mother." ”

Dongmei glared at Wei Guo and said: "I don't believe it, how much strength I have, this slap can actually beat the doll to death, not to mention that I hit the ass, and it is not a terrible place." ”

Wei Guo explained to Dongmei: "No, I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of just in case." ”

Dongmei came back to her senses, looked at Taotao and said, "Why don't you want to go to school and forget the story I told you, your brother Zhou, and the story of Brother Yongkui." ”

Tao Tao suddenly thought of something, his eyes rolled in his eyes, and then he said eagerly: "Mom, I want to go to school, I want to go to school." ”

Dongmei smiled and said, "This is my good boy." ”

It turned out that Brother Zhou and Brother Yongkui were both young men from her maiden village.

Brother Zhou has been greedy for fun since he was a child, he doesn't know how to study hard, and he has a hard life when he grows up, he can't even afford to marry a daughter-in-law, and he has no money to treat his parents.

And Brother Yongkui, who was diligent and studious since he was a child, grew up, had a good job, entered the city, married a beautiful daughter-in-law in the city, and every time he went home, he came back in a small car, and took his parents to the city.

Besides, Brother Zhou, Brother Yongkui, and Taotao have all seen it with their own eyes, and the story that his mother told him still had a big impact on the psychology of the little Taotao, and he knew the importance of studying hard.

Dongmei turned the conversation to Wei Guo again, and seemed to ask Wei Guo in a questioning tone: "The child wants to go to school, how to enter the school for the children of this unit, I don't know, if you leave, who will handle the matter of the child going to school?"

Men are always more careless, not Dongmei reminded that Wei Guo almost left the matter of the child going to school.

Wei Guo thought about it for a long time, and felt that it was like this, let the doll be inserted into the preschool class of the unit, and then upgrade with its children, I am afraid that it is not good, because his children have not been to school for so long, and they have not touched the books, so it is inevitable that they will fall a lot, so he told Dongmei: "On the day of school, I will come back from leave, let's sign up for Taotao, and let Taotao go to preschool for another year, what do you think?"

Before Dongmei could reply, Taotao spoke first: "I don't want to repeat the grade, I don't want to be Brother Zhou of the old fritters." ”

The old fritter was told to Taotao by Dongmei, saying that if a person often repeats a grade, he will remain as an old fritter.

Dongmei and Wei Guo were both amused by the three words of Taotao's old fritters.

So, Dongmei patiently explained to Tao Tao why he wanted to repeat the grade, and Tao Tao convincingly agreed to repeat the grade.

Nana, who was standing next to her, heard that her brother was going to repeat a grade, and said anxiously: "I want to repeat a grade too." ”

The family of four fell silent amid a joyful laughter.
