Moved over, and it didn't take long for Wei Guo to celebrate his birthday.

Wei Guo has never had a birthday in his life.

When he was young, Wei Guo was reluctant to waste that money.

Now that he is old, Wei Guo feels that after a birthday, he is one step closer to death.

Therefore, Wei Guo always avoids birthdays.

However, on this year's birthday, Wei Guo will never escape.

Because, this year, Wei Guo is going to celebrate his 60th birthday.

Sixty years old also means that the country is defended, and it should be over after working in the unit for a lifetime.

At night, Dongmei and Wei Guo were in bed.

Wei Guo tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

Dongmei knew that Wei Guo had something in her heart, so she asked Wei Guo and said:

"What's the matter, you don't want to have a birthday?"

Wei Guo sighed and said, "It's not that I don't want to celebrate my birthday, I don't want to retire." ”

Hearing that Wei Guo didn't want to retire, Dongmei said funny:

"When you were young, you didn't think about retirement every day,

I thought that after retirement, I would not have to endure hunger and cold on the drill floor, I would not have to stay up late to work, and I would not have to worry about my life......

Why now, after a lifetime of hard work, and a good one, but I don't want to retire?"

Wei Guo recalled his youth, he said:

"When I was young, I just came to the drilling team from my hometown village, where did I see that formation, a six-meter-high drilling platform, a fifty-meter-high two-story platform,

The roar of the drilling rig and the roar of the car scared me, a rural baby......"

Listening to Wei Guo's words, Dong Mei couldn't help but think of the first time she followed Wei Guo to the Xinjiang drilling team.

Before Dongmei married Wei Guo, she knew that Wei Guo was digging for oil.

At the same time, she is also very curious, how does Wei Guo, as an oil worker, dig up oil?

From the hinterland of Guanzhong to the train in Xinjiang, Dongmei thought about the drilling workers very high-level.

She felt that her husband Wei Guo must be the same as the factory workers she saw in the movie, sitting in front of the clean machine, operating the machine, and engaging in professional work in the bright factory.

However, when Dongmei arrived at the drilling team working in Weiguo,

She looked at the towering derrick,

Looking at the desolate Gobi,

Looking at the drilling workers who were covered in dirty oil after work.

At that time, she felt that it was better for Wei Guo to be a driller than to be a farmer in her hometown.

The peasants are still at least in the fields of Qinchuan, which is 800 miles away, and the peasants are at least not as dirty as the oil workers......

Dongmei looked at Wei Guo and said:

"Hey, don't say it, not only were you scared, but I was also scared when I followed you to Xinjiang for the first time. ”

The oil workers in the 80s were very hard, the living conditions were also very poor, and the working conditions were extremely difficult.

The main thing is that in the production process, safety awareness and safety control are far less stringent than today.

So at that time, it was very normal for someone to die because of an accident.

Wei Guo clearly remembered that he was assigned to the Xinjiang drilling team with a boy from Fengxiang,

His wife, not long after she was pregnant with a child, was pinched by two drill pipes in the process of collapsing a drilling tool.

That accident left a deep impression on the country.

He was even afraid and worried about himself, what if one day, he lost his life, what would his wife Dongmei do?

My son Taotao, what should I do?

Because at that time, Nana had not yet been born, so Wei Guo was not worried about Nana.

Most of Wei Guo's life, most of his life, was spent in the drilling team.

The drilling team is the most dangerous and hardest industry in the oilfield units.

Therefore, during the years when Wei Guo worked in the drilling team, he was always worried.

Especially the night shift, which is even more terrifying for the country.

Therefore, a series of difficulties and fears made the young patriotic have the idea of retiring early.

In fact, if Wei Guo really made up his mind to retire early, then in the year of 2,000 years, that is, when Wei Guo was 43 years old, he could also retire in accordance with the regulations.

But at that time, because Wei Guo and Dongmei's two children were still young, Wei Guo felt that if he retired early, who would support the children?

Therefore, Wei Guo did not choose to retire.

And Wei Guo's decision, after the fact, was also proved to be very correct.

If Wei Guo retired during that time period, then he would definitely still live in the small county town of Liquan now, and it would be impossible for him to move to the provincial capital, let alone give his son Taotao the house he bought in the provincial capital......

Now, Wei Guo is sixty years old, and he is suddenly reluctant to retire again.

Wei Guo looked at Dongmei and said:

"Dongmei, what do you say I can do after I retire from the unit?"

Dongmei smiled and said:

"You don't have to do anything, you have worked hard all your life in the oilfield unit,

You've spent your whole life in the wilderness, in the mountains, and you've finally survived to the age of sixty, and it's time to enjoy it......"

Wei Guo shook his head and said:

"However, I think my body is okay, I still have strength, I can still work, why let me retire......"

Dongmei looked at the serious Wei Guo, she said:

"However, the national policy stipulates that at the age of sixty, you must retire, if you don't retire, how can the young man go up?"

Hearing this, Wei Guo stopped talking.

Dongmei looked at Wei Guo and said:

"Alright, you can sleep.

Your son and daughter, daughter-in-law and son-in-law, in order to prepare for your 60th birthday, have booked a hotel and prepared a big cake......"

Wei Guo doesn't care about the process of his birthday, he only cares about whether he can continue to work.

He said: "Dongmei, I heard that the state has not issued laws and policies, and employees only retire at the age of 65, why haven't they been implemented yet?"

Dongmei listened to Wei Guo and was eager to continue working, she said:

"There is a process for policy implementation, and you can't take your turn.

Wait until your son Taotao and them are estimated to be sixty-five years old before they can retire. “

Wei Guo said suddenly, on a whim:

"Dongmei, you say, I'll go to the leaders of the unit and tell them that my body is still strong to defend the country, let me not retire for the time being, and work for a few more years, is it okay?"

Dongmei listened to Wei Guo's words, she felt funny and said:

"You are in a society governed by the rule of law, not a society governed by people.

Do you think you have to go to the leader and talk to the leader, can the leader let you continue to work?"

Hearing this, Wei Guo was silent.

Dongmei saw that Wei Guo was silent, so she asked Wei Guo and said:

"Wei Guo, let me ask you, the reason why you don't want to retire is because you feel that you haven't earned enough money?"

Listening to Dongmei's words, Wei Guo said lightly:

"No, I think I'm used to the life of working in the unit,

If I am suddenly idle, I am afraid, I will not be able to adapt to ......"

Dongmei looked at Wei Guo, she believed Wei Guo's words.

When Dongmei and Weiguo were young, their families were very poor.

They watched that the two children could not eat well and dress badly, so they thought of ways to get rich.

At that time, on the CCTV Agricultural Channel, there was a column of getting rich,

Each episode tells the story of an ordinary person who got rich with his hands.

Dongmei and Weiguo, you have to watch every issue.

Although, the two insisted on getting rich and watched it for more than ten years,

However, the two still did not get rich.

Although they did not get rich, with the development of society, the development of the country's economy, and the continuous improvement of the unit wage level, Dongmei and Weiguo have long lived a well-off life.

Suddenly, Dongmei seemed to think of something, she looked at Wei Guo and said:

"Weiguo, I know, why are you afraid of retirement?"

Wei Guowan was in the bed, looked at the ceiling and said, "Why?"

Dongmei said seriously:

"Weiguo, you must be afraid of death, that's why you don't want to retire, right?"

Hearing this, Wei Guo suddenly turned around, looked at Dongmei with wide eyes, and stopped talking.
