Chapter 1197: Dream Chaser
Listening to his mother's words of concern for him, Tao Tao suddenly choked up.
He paused, adjusted his mood, and said slowly:
Mom, let me tell you something, don't be upset.
Hearing the sadness, Dongmei immediately became nervous, because Dongmei knew that the work of the oilfield unit was sometimes life-threatening.
So, Dongmei immediately raised her voice and asked Taotao:
Are you working and your hands are clipped?
Toes, smashed?
Or is it a head, knocked out?
Hearing this, Taotao shook his head and told his mother that Dongmei:
Mom, I've been at work and haven't been injured in years.
Back then, when Tao Tao first joined the work, he was clumsy......
Because I don't know how to pay attention to safety......
Because there will be no risk mitigation measures......
As a result, he was injured several times.
At that time, Dongmei, as long as he received a call from Taotao, his blood pressure would rise immediately, for fear that his son would have something to do in a dangerous job.
Now, as the work becomes safer and safer, with the continuous strengthening of safety awareness, and the continuous enrichment of safety experience, Dongmei can rarely hear that her son Taotao is injured at work.
On the phone, Dongmei heard that her son was not injured, and she immediately relaxed and said:
Since you're not hurt, what do I have to be sad about?
In Dongmei's eyes, he no longer wants his son to be able to soar or become a dragon among people.
Now Dongmei, I just want her son to be safe and healthy at work.
Listening to his mother's words, Tao Tao paused, and he plucked up the courage to say:
Mom, I don't think I'm suitable for sitting in an office, let alone being a white-collar worker, I'm still, as a front-line oil worker, let's go back to work in the field.
Hearing that her son, who had just been transferred from the front line to work in the back office, suddenly had to give up the good working environment and return to the field, Dongmei immediately expressed her incomprehension.
He questioned his son Taotao and said:
You've worked for ten years, and you've struggled for ten years.
It can be said that you finally waited for an opportunity for God to favor you, how could you give up so easily?
Listening to his mother's words, Taotao felt very embarrassed.
He explains:
Mom, I feel that the office work is not for me......
In that place, I felt like I was on pins and needles, living like years, and even felt hopeless, I couldn't see the future, I couldn't see the future.
Hearing that her son showed great pain for sitting in the office, Dongmei's eyes widened in surprise.
She asked her son, no matter how hard and tiring the office work is, the wind does not blow the rain or get wet, does not stay up late, does not go up the mountain or the river, right?
Where is like you, when you are working on the front line, you will go out to rescue at every turn.
For three or nine days in winter, stay in the ice and snow.
Stay in the scorching sun during the dog days of summer......
Listening to his mother's words, Tao Tao knew that the reason why his mother didn't understand it was completely for her own good, because she felt sorry for herself, and because she was reluctant to let go of her son, who was 33 years old and still doing manual work in the most difficult position.
However, what Dongmei didn't know was that Taotao had adapted and become familiar with this kind of hard work.
Suddenly put him down in a comfortable post, he showed great discomfort.
Tao Tao explained to his mother:
After sitting in the office for a day, I had backache and leg pain, and the most important thing was that my cervical spine couldn't stand it.
Dongmei knew that her son's cervical spine had been injured and he couldn't face the computer for a long time.
Although he was reluctant to have his son, he returned to the front-line work.
However, he was helpless about his son's choice.
So, she gave the phone to her husband Weiguo.
When Wei Guo heard that Tao Tao was going to give up his job as a white-collar worker in the office and return to the front line, he immediately warned Tao Tao:
I'm telling you, sometimes you only have one chance in life.
If you give up this opportunity to return to logistics from the front line, then it is possible that there will be no such opportunity in the future, and you had better think clearly.
Wei Guo can say this, he also summed it up from his own work experience for so many years.
Life is too short to have so many opportunities that you can't think about and weigh.
If he doesn't catch it in time, then he will run away.
As the saying goes, after this village, there is no shop, for an oil worker working on the front line, without any relationship, can be transferred from a difficult position to an office as a white-collar worker, it is really pie in the sky.
Listening to his father's words, Tao Tao nodded, and he told his father:
Dad, now I, after ten years of experience, I am no longer the same student I used to be.
I like to work, I like to spend time with those big guys, laughing and scolding, and talking about the world.
If you have a job, you will work, and if you are not working, you will rest. You don't have to worry about being sophisticated, and you don't have to guess what others think in order to please them.
Moreover, after a day of physical work, when I returned to the dormitory, I was able to quickly enter the state of writing and pursue my literary dream, writer's dream, and Chinese dream.
Wei Guo knew that Tao Tao had already started writing for a year or two.
As a front-line oil worker, when others are drinking, eating meat, and playing cards after work, Taotao is writing at his desk and pursuing his literary dream.
So, Wei Guo said, you are no longer working on the front line, and when you return to work in the office, won't you have a lot of time to write?
Listening to his father's words, Tao Tao immediately explained, Dad, I used to think that if I was asked to work in the office, then I would definitely have more time to write.
But now, when I really, after working in the office, I found that not only was I busy during the day and didn't have any time to write about me, but even when I got off work and returned to the dormitory, I didn't have the mood and heart to write about me.
However, when I was working on the front line, although I was doing physical work, although it was very hard and tiring, when I went back to the dormitory and took a shower, my brain could be used again.
Because, during the day, it is my body, not my heart, that I am tired.
However, when I worked in the office, I found that it was my heart that was tired during the day, and it was still my heart that was tired at night.
So, in the three days I worked in the office, I didn't move a word when I was small.
Wei Guo knows that his son's biggest dream and greatest pursuit now is to be able to realize his literary dream.
Tao Tao can skip food and drink, but he can't stop writing and pursuing his dreams.
So, Wei Guo said to Taotao, you can do your own business, and you make up your mind.
With that, Wei Guo hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Tao Tao let out a long sigh.
Although the father, without a clear statement, did not agree with himself from the office back to the front,
However, at least my father understands himself in some aspects, which makes Taotao's heart feel more relieved and comforted.
As for his mother's incomprehension, Tao Tao felt that with the passage of time and after he returned home, his mother would slowly understand his mother's explanation.
Now, what worries Taotao the most is his wife Zhang Wei, who may not be able to accept her husband, from an enviable office white-collar worker to a despised front-line oil worker.
