It turned out that Wei Guo's drilling team completed the footage ahead of schedule, and the unit let them go home for winter rest three days in advance. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The next day, Dongmei got up early and made breakfast, a pot of corn paste.

After eating, my parents went to work in the field, my younger siblings went to school with their schoolbags on their backs, and Dongmei was left alone at home to prepare the noodles at noon.

Dongmei frowned, and walked around the yard with great ambition, she was worried not about whether she could make noodles, but about where the meat of noodles came from. Crops, eat meat once a year, and only during the New Year, although it is winter, but it is not yet the time for the New Year, if you eat the meat bought at home, what can you do for the New Year?

Dongmei had an idea, went to the uncle's house at the entrance of the village to make tofu, spent two cents, bought two catties of tofu, cut it into small pieces, and replaced the meat.

But the tofu is not the meat after all, where does the delicious and tempting oil on the soup come from?

Dong Mei thought about it, so she simply took out a few large pumpkins from the stove at home, carried them to the collective canteen in the village with a basket, and bartered with the chef who cooked there for a small piece of lard.

The rest of the onions, garlic and ginger are grown in the field at home, and there are also white noodles, but they are very precious, and only when they come to the guests, they can dig out some white noodles from the small noodle bowl to cook. When no one comes, the family eats corn, sorghum, millet, etc., and when the food is not enough, the pumpkin can still be topped.

After adjusting the soup, boiling the vegetables, and cutting the noodles, she will be down as soon as Weiguo arrives and the family returns.

It was only then that Dongmei realized that she had not changed into new clothes, and was still wearing the coarse cotton jacket.

She hurried into the house, took out the flower cotton jacket that her mother had made for her, and put it on her body, as well as the black and blue mid-length cloth trousers bought from the city, and a pair of coarse black cotton shoes.

Dongmei took the only mirror in the house and looked at herself, feeling very satisfied.

The picked up winter plums stood at the door of the house, facing the direction of the west end of the village, waiting for the arrival of the country.

At this time, Dongmei saw a tall and thin man at the west entrance of the village, wearing a locomotive cotton hat, wearing a brand-new military coat, and a pair of high-waisted black leather shoes on his feet. (It was the most fashionable outfit of the time)

Dongmei was stunned, rubbed her eyes vigorously, thinking that this fashionable and mighty man not far away must not be Weiguo, she remembered that Weiguo was not only short and hairy when she was in school, but also sloppy in clothes, and had never been mighty.

The man approached, and Dongmei clearly saw his outline, he was Weiguo. She smiled at Wei Guo awkwardly, walked over with a red face, took the gift in Wei Guo's hand, and both of them walked towards the house with their heads bowed with red faces.

The two people, who had been looking forward to each other for more than half a year, were so shy and nervous that they didn't speak, and they didn't even dare to glance at each other's faces.

At this time, the image of Wei Guo completely subverted Dongmei's positioning of him in her heart. She thought in her heart that as long as Weiguo was not rustic, who would have thought that compared to the people in the village wearing black cotton jackets and cotton nest cloth shoes, Weiguo was already a little extraordinary.

Dongmei welcomed Wei Guo into the largest tiled house in the house, poured him a cup of hot boiled water, put it in his hand, looked down at the ground, and said, "Drink some hot water! The ground is cold, you sit on the kang, the corn stalks that have just been filled in the kang in the morning are hot." ”

Wei Guo shook the snowflakes on his military coat, took a sip of hot water, then untied his shoelaces, lifted the quilt, and sat on the kang.

Dongmei was about to leave, but when she thought about it, it was not good to leave the guests alone in the house, so she lowered her head, rubbed the corner of the flower jacket with one hand and said, "Are you hungry, I'll get you a nest to eat first." ”

Wei Guo sat on the warm kang, covered with a thick quilt, smiled awkwardly, and still did not speak.

Dongmei waited for a long time, seeing that Wei Guo didn't speak, thinking that this man was really cultivated, and there were really few words, she liked men who talked less, and hated people who talked a lot, so she raised her head and glanced at Wei Guo with a smile, and found that his original immature face had become much more mature and stable, especially the cyan marks left by the shaved beard on his cheeks, which was full of masculinity, so she said: "Then you sit on the kang to warm up first, and I will go to the stove room to make Zangzi noodles, and we will eat Zangzi noodles at noon today." ”

Wei Guo came after eating at home, and he hurriedly said, "I'...... Ate ...... If you have just come, do less...... Dot. ”

Dongmei heard Wei Guo speak, which was the first sentence of his face-to-face communication in more than 20 years. However, how can this person stutter and stutter so badly?

Dongmei smiled and walked out, and said, "If you come, eat something, you sit, I'll cook." ”

Dongmei had already walked out of the door, but she heard Wei Guo say in the back: "Less...... Few...... Make a point. ”

Dongmei wondered in her heart, could this person be stuttering, how could she talk like this, but when she turned her head and thought about it, she was nervous when she saw Wei Guo, and Wei Guo must be nervous when she saw herself, maybe because she was too nervous, so she stuttered.

At noon, a large family of people sat around the small table on the kang and ate Zhenzi noodles.

Dongmei's mother looked at her future son-in-law's smiling eyes and formed a line and said: "I came back from working in the field just now, and before I walked to the door, I listened to the second baby on the other side and told me, our family is a visitor, and he is still a city person, dressed in a foreign style, but spiritual, I guess you are here, I said where is the city person, that is Cui Weiguo, the son of Cui Jia Village's Xubaoping......"

Dongmei's father ate the noodles and drank the soup full of oily flowers and said, "Are you right to come, and you still mention so many things." The cigarette is expensive, what are you buying this for, I usually take the homework book written by my youngest son and smoke it......"

After Dongmei's younger siblings finished eating the noodles, they went to look through the gifts brought by Wei Guo, and they found bananas from them, but the two children had never seen bananas and didn't know how to eat them.

Wei Guo peeled the bananas and showed them how to eat them.

After eating, Dongmei's parents still had to work in the field, they looked at Wei Guo apologetically and said: "The north trunk canal is repaired in the village, so that it will be convenient for irrigation in the future, you and Dongmei sit down and talk well, we are busy, don't leave at night, stay and eat." ”

Wei Guo stood up, looked at Dongmei's parents respectfully, and said, "You...... Busy!"

There were only two people left in the room, Dongmei and Weiguo, Dongmei didn't speak, Weiguo didn't speak, in order to break the silence, Dongmei spoke first: "Your clothes are really magnificent." ”

Wei Guo smiled, touched the military coat he was wearing and said, "Military coat...... Issued by the unit, the locomotive hat...... Dry work belt, leather shoes...... Labor protection shoes. After speaking, Wei Guo handed over the locomotive hat and let Dongmei touch it.

Dongmei touched it, and there was a steel helmet inlaid in the cotton hat, which really deserved to be an oil worker, safety first. Stepping on the country's labor protection shoes, I found that although his leather shoes were shiny, the shoes were very hard, and there was a layer of steel plate inside the toe.

Dongmei continued: "How far should Xinjiang be from Guanzhong? How long have you been on the train?"

Wei Guo's eyes rolled up, counted for a moment and said, "Three...... In the evening, a ...... Daytime. ”

What Dongmei didn't know was that there were many people on the train, but Wei Guo stood on the train for three days and three nights before coming back. This is a bit unbelievable to people now, but people at that time could endure hardship, and in their eyes, it was nothing, as long as they didn't have to walk back from Xinjiang.

Dongmei felt like a reporter, asking and answering, but if she didn't speak, Weiguo wouldn't speak at all, so she proposed to go out for a walk.

The snow fell for a day, the snow was covered with snow outside, covered in silver, the two walked side by side, stepping on the snow and creaking, the surrounding villagers saw Dongmei and Weiguo walking together, and talked about it, saying that Dongmei had found a city person.

Along the way, Dongmei's most curious thing is Wei Guo's height, in her memory, Wei Guo didn't seem to be as tall as himself in the third year of high school, how can he be taller than himself now, has he grown taller, so she asked Wei Guo: "I take the liberty to ask you, you are one meter 70 meters tall!"

Wei Guo laughed, pointed to the pair of labor protection shoes on his feet and said, "The height is ...... 1.70 meters, but ...... Heel...... Four centimeters ......" Dongmei looked down in the direction of Wei Guo's finger, and found that sure enough, the soles of the labor protection shoes were very thick and the heels were very high, no wonder he was tall and thin from a distance before.

The cotton shoes he wears have soles of only one centimeter at most, so it's no wonder that standing with him feels that he has grown taller.

In addition to being curious about Wei Guo's height, Dongmei was also curious about his work, Dongmei stuffed her two hands into the sleeves of her cotton jacket, stomped her feet in the snow and said: "Do you dig oil by people digging into the ground, can you really dig from China on this side of the earth to the United States on the other side of the earth?"

Wei Guo turned his head to look at Dongmei's clear eyes, he felt that she was very innocent and cute, he exhaled a breath of hot air towards his hand, rubbed it and said, "People don't ...... Go down, there is a drill pipe, it will not hit the other side of the earth, at most...... 3,000 meters ......"

Wei Guo's explanation finally dispelled Dongmei's doubts, but this doubt frowned, but that doubt came to her heart, she found that after talking to Wei Guo for so long, Wei Guo always stammered, Dong Mei looked at Wei Guo's resolute eyes, and the compact lips, and silently thought in her heart: Could he be a stuttering patient, right?
