Tao Tao returned home with apprehension.

It stands to reason that if you fail the driving test, there is nothing, and it is a big deal to take the test again.

However, Tao Tao felt that when he came back from northern Shaanxi, he had to pay 400 yuan for the journey and 600 for the make-up examination, and he failed the exam, which meant that he had to spend an extra thousand yuan.

A thousand bucks is nothing for most people.

However, it is really important for ordinary workers like Tao Tao who go to work alone, feed a family of three, and buy milk powder for their children.

Taotao even felt that he was sorry for his newborn son Junjunwa.

Tao Tao thought to himself, with a thousand quick money, he could at least buy half a box of milk powder for his son.

However, because of his failure to start half the slope, he lost it.

Tao Tao suddenly felt that he was very useless, working in the unit, his hands-on ability was very poor, and he had studied pump repair for several years, but he did not learn.

Learning to drive, I've been learning for a long time, and I can't even pass the subject two?

What else can you do like yourself?

Tao Tao walked into the house guiltily.

At this time, Dongmei was sitting in the living room, looking at the sleeping Junwa.

When she saw Taotao coming back, she immediately asked:

"Taotao, how did you do in the exam?

Have you passed?"

When Zhang Wei saw her husband's ugly face, she knew that it must have been over.

So, Zhang Wei didn't ask Tao Tao if he had a chance, but directly comforted him and said:

"It's okay, every time you take the driving test, you have five chances, as long as you pass it in the end, you don't care about the gains and losses of this city and town. ”

Tao Tao, who was already ready to be scolded, did not expect that his wife not only did not scold himself, but comforted himself.

Tao Tao felt uncomfortable and said, "Hey, I died on the halfway slope." ”

Hearing that Tao Tao had not passed, Dongmei blamed her son instead.

She said:

"Gee, why are you so stupid?

Zhang Wei, a subject that you passed in one go, but you can't pass the test as a big man?"

Taotao is not worried about her mother scolding herself, because she feels that her mother scolds her and is good for herself.

He was worried that his wife Zhang Wei would scold him, because his wife's scolding of her husband was definitely hating iron and not steel.

Tao Tao explained to his mother:

"I don't know what's going on, when I usually practice, it's all good, slowly lift the clutch, and then give some gas, and the car will go up.

But when it came time for the exam, not only did the car not go, but it also stalled. ”

Hearing Taotao's description, Zhang Wei immediately knew the reason.

She analyzed Taotao and said:

"Husband, where you usually practice driving, is the slope not too large?"

Tao Tao nodded and said:

"Yes, after all, there is no such professional venue for you to practice. ”

Zhang Wei then asked:

"Then when you lift the clutch and give the throttle, is it very light, not heavy at all?"

Listening to Zhang Wei's words, Taotao felt as if Zhang Wei was his examiner, he said:

"yes, how do you know?"

Hearing this, Zhang Wei immediately knew the reason why Tao Tao was suspended.

She said, "Husband, let me tell you, why did your car turn off?"

Tao Tao didn't understand and said, "Why?"

张伟 says:

"Because the ramp you usually practice on is not big, when you lift the clutch, give a little gas, and the car will go up.

However, during the exam, the slope is so big, can you go up with that bit of oil?

You're suffocating the car. ”

Hearing this, Tao Tao suddenly realized, he said:

"Wife, you say, if I give oil hard when I lift the clutch, will the car go up all at once?"

Zhang Wei nodded and said, "That's for sure." “

Beating his chest angrily, he said:

"When we usually practice half-hill starts, the coach is afraid of fuel, so he won't let us give us more oil, so I got into the habit.

During the exam, I was still given a little oil.

I knew that I would have asked you for advice before the exam.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have failed. “

Although Tao Tao knew the specific reason, it was too late.

Tao Tao could only sigh and say:

"Hey, I hope I can pass the exam smoothly next time. “

Taotao had to rush to the unit at night, so he didn't dare to stay longer, so he said goodbye to his wife, children, and mother, and went to the Chengbei Bus Station to take the bus north.

After Taotao left, Dongmei, who had just recovered from a serious illness, tried to do some work within her ability.

Dongmei knows that even if she is sick, she has to help her daughter-in-law take care of the children.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to bring it alone.

Due to the lack of energy in her hands, Dongmei couldn't hold the child, so she took on the job of mixing milk powder and washing the bottle for the child.

Since Dongmei couldn't stay up late, she got up early and continued to cook breakfast for everyone.

Dongmei used to worry about it, and when Zhang Wei slept at night, she would press the child.

Now, she doesn't worry about it anymore, because it's useless for her to worry.

In the past, Dongmei always got up in the middle of the night many times to cover the child with sheets.

But now, Dongmei doesn't care.

Because she can't handle it at all.

If she doesn't sleep well at night, she won't have any energy at all the next day.

In the past, Dongmei had to take the baby around from time to time to let the baby feel the fresh air outside.

But now, although Dongmei has more than enough, she is not enough.

There is no way, although Zhang Wei is slow and lazy, she can only shoulder the heavy responsibility of taking care of the children.

However, although Zhang Wei is slow and lazy, she is young after all, and she understands knowledge after all, so she still takes good care of her children.

Although Dongmei's body is not as good as before, fortunately, Dongmei's body has begun to slowly recover day by day.

Dongmei doesn't expect to return to the state she used to be, not sleeping at night, and still being busy all day during the day.

She just wants to recover, to be able to hold her beloved grandson Jun Junwa, take a walk in the living room, go to the courtyard of the community outside, and take a turn.

These things seem simple, but for a patient like Dongmei, it is very difficult.

Because Dongmei was busy taking care of her children every day, she missed calling her mother in her hometown of Baoji.

Suddenly, one day, a strange phone call came.

Dongmei picked up the phone.

When she picked up the phone, she realized that it was her mother's phone.

Dongmei's mother is seventy-five years old.

Moreover, Dongmei's mother is in very bad health, with very serious high blood pressure, and she often faints in the dark.

In the past, Dongmei would make a phone call every once in a while to ask about her mother's health.

But now, since she had a grandson, she has done her best to take care of her grandson, and she neglected to call her mother.

Dongmei said guiltily to her mother on the phone:

"Mom, I've been so busy taking care of Taotao that I forgot to call you. ”

In the past, Dongmei's mother's voice was very peaceful.

But today, Dongmei's mother's voice is very strange.

Not only does she not match the preface, but she is also yin and yang.

Dongmei was very puzzled, and she asked her mother:

"Mom, are you high blood pressure again, I'll come back and take you to hang the needle, right?"

Hearing this, Dongmei's mother said:

"I usually cook in the early hours of the morning.

If you want to eat, come to the stove in the early morning. ”

Hearing this, Dongmei's eyes widened, she didn't know, what did her mother mean by saying this?
