Chapter 30: The Brave Waves

Dongmei knew that behind the back door was a pigsty and thatched house, and the pigsty and thatched house were both open-air, surrounded by some low earthen walls, and the thief could easily climb over the wall to enter, and the back door was the last barrier to block the thief.

Dongmei sat up from the kang, put her ear on the window and listened, and then there was no movement, Dongmei fell asleep with anxiety, but she couldn't sleep anymore, he knew that some bold thieves not only steal, but also robbed.

Her family just handed over a big fat pig today, although the money is kept by her mother-in-law, but the thief knows that she is the daughter-in-law of the family, will she break into the door, and then take out a bright knife and force herself to pay the money, otherwise she will kill herself and her two children.

The more Dongmei thought about it, the more scared she became.

At the same time, she also began to complain in her heart, who let the man in her family not be at home, if there was a man in the family, she would not be so panicked and afraid.

In the second half of the night, Dongmei finally fell asleep, but was awakened by a slight sound of prying the door.

Rural doors are all plugged with a wooden hinge on the switch, which is mainly relied on to seal the door.

Dongmei sat up nervously, she heard the sound of metal tools moving the wooden hinges, she didn't believe her ears, so she put her ears against the window, when she was sure that someone was really dialing the hinges of the back door, she didn't dare to gasp, panicked, and didn't know what to do.

At this time, Taotao, who was sleeping next to her, sat up, he looked at Dongmei and said, "Mom, don't be afraid, I have a knife, if a bad guy comes, I will protect you." ”

After speaking, he took out a small knife for sharpening pencils from the small pocket of the small pants he had taken off, opened the knife, clenched it tightly into his hand, and looked at his mother with resolute eyes.

Dongmei looked at her five-year-old son who was full of manliness, so she hugged him in her arms and said, "Taotao is not afraid, there is a mother." ”

Strange to say, with Taotao's encouragement, Dongmei suddenly came to courage, he thought to himself that evil does not prevail over good, and strong thieves are afraid of the weak master, so she plucked up her courage, took out a flashlight from the drawer, opened the bedroom door, and walked to the back door, she was light and footed, and there was almost no sound.

Approaching the back door, she could clearly see the wooden hinges moving out little by little, and there must be someone behind the door, holding some blade or something like that.

Seeing that the hinges were about to move out of the switch, Dongmei didn't know where the courage came from, she pressed the flashlight all of a sudden, and the strong light of the flashlight shone directly at the crack in the back door, and at the same time lowered her voice, and her voice was thick, learning the man's voice and shouting: "What are you doing?" ”

The thief outside was not prepared at all, and screamed in fright by this sudden change, threw down the blade in his hand, and fled from the wall.

Dongmei was relieved, returned to the house, locked the door twice, and was about to go to the kang, when she suddenly saw her son Taotao still holding the knife in his hand, looking at himself with blazing eyes, and he was going to rush out to fight to the death with the thief in order to protect his mother.

Dongmei's heart was sour, her man was not around, but her six-year-old son took on the responsibility of protecting women like a big man.

At this time, the son in Dongmei's eyes seemed to have traveled through time and grown into a man in his twenties, looking strong and mighty.

Dongmei hugged Taotao, kissed him on the forehead and said, "Baby, go to sleep, mom scared the thief away, let's not be afraid." ”

Tao Tao put down the knife in his hand, but before going to bed, he looked at Dongmei and said, "Mom, you also sleep, if the thief comes again, I will cut off his ear with a knife." ”

Dongmei smiled with relief and hugged the child tightly in her arms.

At the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, Wei Guo finally returned to his hometown after a few years of absence.

Dongmei, who received the letter in advance, looked forward to the stars and the moon, and finally waited for her husband's return.

Wei Guo carried a bag on his shoulders and a bag in his hand, and pushed open the head door with a large bag and walked into his yard.

Dongmei estimated that Wei Guo would come back today, and as soon as she heard a creak in the back room, she led the two children out of the door and stood in the courtyard.

Dongmei saw Wei Guo wearing a white shirt, black trousers and black leather shoes, standing in the courtyard energetically.

However, after not seeing him for a few years, Wei Guo is obviously much older, the whole person is skinny and bone-like, his face is black and red from the sun, and his head is also bowed.

Wei Guo smiled and walked towards Dongmei, he saw that his two lovely children were no longer recognizable, especially the girl was almost not like when she was a child, as if she had completely changed.

But when the two children saw their father, they didn't feel close at all, and they hid behind their mother in fright.

Wei Guo hurriedly put down the bag in his hand and took out delicious things from it, which led the two children to come to him.

Wei Guo hugged Nana, and hugged Taotao, and he couldn't bear to let go.

Wei Guo returned from Xinjiang and bought gifts for everyone in his family.

He sat on the edge of the kang and took them out of his bag one by one.

While the two children were eating delicious food, they kept sticking their heads into their bags to see what delicious food their father had brought back.

Wei Guo bought a flower skirt for Nana, and after Dongmei put it on Nana, although it was a little big, it was still very beautiful.

I bought a pair of cow nose ring shoes for my son Taotao, which is actually the kind of rubber shoes worn by children, but the rubber on the toe is turned up, so rural people call this kind of shoes cownose ring shoes.

Tao Tao grew so big, he wore cloth shoes made by his family, and he never wore the shoes he bought, and before Dongmei tied the shoelaces, Tao Tao happily put on his shoes and ran out.

I bought a T-shirt for Dongmei.

But Dongmei doesn't wear it, rural people are used to wearing really good short sleeves, which is the kind of buttoned one, and they can't accept this kind of short sleeves that don't button and wear directly for a while.

Wei Guo persuaded Dongmei that it is now the end of the eighties, and everyone is popular to wear this, how fashionable and beautiful.

But Dongmei said that the T-shirt is not like four, neither like a shirt nor a sweatshirt.

Wei Guo bought good tea for his mother and cigarettes and alcohol for his father.

The two children went out, and Wei Guocai quietly looked at his wife Dongmei, who was sitting opposite him.

He saw that Dongmei's originally fair and delicate skin had become dark and rough, and there were many freckles on the cheeks on both sides of her nose.

Wei Guo asked Dongmei with concern: "Why do you have so many freckles on your face, have you used up all the alabaster I bought for you?"

Dongmei helped Wei Guo pack up his things and said, "The alabaster you bought has long been used up. Are women almost thirty, they are all old, it is normal to have freckles, age is not forgiving, don't talk about me, look at you, it was okay when you left, how did you become so dark and thin now. ”

Wei Guo walked on the kang, breathed a long sigh of relief, and felt that the trip to the kang at home was like lying in heaven as happiness, he replied to Dongmei: "In summer, the sun on the Gobi is scorching, and it is sunburned, and it will be relieved in winter, although it is thin, but it is all muscles and bones, don't underestimate me, I have a lot of strength." ”

Dongmei smiled, she felt that although she hadn't seen her for a few years, Weiguo was still so playful, after packing up her things, Dongmei told Weiguo that in September, the school was about to open, and she couldn't talk nonsense, we had to discuss the business carefully.

It turned out that Wei Guo came back from leave this time for Taotao to enter the preschool class.

In the heart of the country, no matter how important work is, it is not as important as children's education.

He turned over and asked Dongmei, "You take the children to the village school, why don't they want to?" ”

Dongmei said helplessly: "I have led Taotao to school a few times, but the school just doesn't want it, saying that it is not enough." ”

Wei Guo was puzzled and said: "It's six years old, it's not yet old, and the children in the city will enter preschool at the age of five." ”

Dongmei packed up her things, sat down in front of Wei Guo and said: "Yes, Shuqiang, the son of the turtle Lao, is one year older than Taotao, and he entered preschool last year, but Taotao can't get in." ”

Wei Guo said: "Shuqiang's grandfather used to be a teacher at school, so it was naturally much more convenient than ours. ”

Dongmei said indignantly: "Is it true that the teacher's children are more privileged than the children of our ordinary families? Let's go, tomorrow the two of us will lead Taotao to the school to find them to evaluate it, why can Shuqiang enter the school, Taotao can't enter." ”

Wei Guo sat up from the kang and comforted Dongmei and said, "Don't be so rash first, think about it at night, think of a perfect plan, and it's not too late to go." ”

This is the first meal that Wei Guo ate after he came back, Dongmei and Wei Guo's mother cooked together, and the cooking was extraordinarily rich.

The family sat around the kang and prepared to eat together, but there was no trace of Taotao.

Wei Guo's mother put on her shoes, worried about her little feet, and shouted Taotao's name on the streets of the village, looking for them everywhere.

Finally, on the way to the countryside, I finally found Taotao who was playing games with the children.

When Taotao saw his grandmother coming, he said goodbye to the children.

While saying goodbye to Taotao, the children surrounded Taotao's grandmother and asked, Taotao's shoes are really good, Taotao put on the cow nose ring shoes, and ran faster than them in the game, can you buy them a pair of cow nose ring shoes.

Grandma smiled and said that Taotao's shoes were bought by his father from Xinjiang, and there was only one pair, not more.

The children all looked at the shoes on Taotao's feet with envy.

When eating, grandma hugged Taotao on the kang, but Taotao didn't take off the cow nose ring shoes on his feet, his parents persuaded him, no, no way, grandma found a rag, wiped off the soil on the soles of the cow nose rings, and allowed him to wear shoes on the kang.

What everyone didn't expect was that when he went to bed at night, Taotao didn't take off his shoes and wanted to sleep with his shoes on.

When Taotao fell asleep on the kang, the grandmother carefully took off her shoes from his little feet.

The next day, when it was almost dawn, grandma carefully put on Taotao's shoes, afraid that when he woke up, he would cry when he saw that the shoes were not on his feet.

Grandchildren are used to being grandma, and no one knows her grandson's temper better than grandma.

Early the next morning, Dongmei and Wei Guo packed up and prepared to take Taotao to the school's primary school to register him for school.

But Taotao came out of his grandmother's house crying.

Dongmei stepped forward, took out a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped her tears for Taotao and said, "I'll take you to school today, what are you crying about?" ”

Tao Tao cried very sadly, and kept wiping his tears with his two hands and said, "My cow nose ring shoes have stepped into the urinal." ”

Dongmei looked down, and sure enough, Taotao's ox nose hoop shoes were wet and smelled of urine.

Looking at Taotao's embarrassed appearance, Dongmei thought that her mother-in-law must have forgotten to pour the urinal when she got up in the morning, Taotao got up every morning with her eyes closed and went to the kang, and accidentally stepped into the urinal.

Dongmei comforted Taotao and said, "What are you crying about, take off your shoes, and your mother will wash it for you." ”

Saying that, Dongmei took off Taotao's shoes, and then found another pair of clean cloth shoes, and said while putting on Taotao's shoes: "Be obedient in the morning, my father and I will take you to school to register you for school." ”

Tao Tao stood barefoot on the ground in the yard, but he didn't cooperate with his mother to put shoes on him.

When the shoes were put on, Taotao stood there and cried again.

Dongmei looked surprised and asked him, "Don't you want to go to school, I'll take you to sign up today, what are you crying about." ”

Tao Tao pointed to the cloth shoes on his feet and said, "I don't wear this, I want to wear cownose ring shoes." ”

Dongmei couldn't help but feel a wave of anger in her heart and said: "The cow nose ring shoes are full of urine, how can you wear them, when I wash them for you and dry them, it's not too late for you to wear them again." ”

Taotao couldn't listen to his mother's words at all, twisted his temper, cried and made a fuss about wearing cow nose ring shoes.

Dongmei's anger came up all of a sudden, she felt that Taotao was spoiled by her grandmother, if she continued like this, she would have to ruin his life, so she reprimanded Taotao and said: "Listen to your mother more, you can't go on like this anymore, otherwise it will ruin your life." ”

Dongmei saw that the lesson was ineffective, so she lifted the slap, and there were a few slaps on his ass, and she cried loudly.

Wei Guo walked out and saw Dongmei beating the child, so he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and said, "What do you have to say, why are you beating the child, you are not right, do you know?"

Dongmei defended: "The children are like this, how can you do it if you don't fight." The cow nose ring shoes are obviously stained with urine, so they have to be worn. ”

Wei Guo resolutely disagreed with beating and scolding the child, and told Dongmei: "Educate the child, everything must be reasonable, convince people with reason, and you have to serve the family law as a last resort, you are not right to do this, do you know?"

Dongmei sighed, thinking that you have worked outside for a few years and have not come home, you know how to educate children, and you keep educating me how to educate children, so she argued and said: "Taotao's temperament has reached the edge of the cliff, and if you don't stop the cliff, I'm afraid that you will hurt the child." ”

A big question mark suddenly appeared on Wei Guo's head, and he asked Dongmei: "What you said is too serious, isn't he, he's just a six-year-old child, as for it?"

Dongmei immediately put out some of Taotao's spoiled things and said: "The son doesn't teach, the father's fault, when you are not at home, the door comes to sell toilet paper, Taotao has to eat, Mom bought a roll of toilet paper, Taotao took it in his hand and took a bite, he couldn't eat it, and threw it into the stinky ditch." At noon, I want to eat noodles and make noodles, but I want to eat rice, I want to eat rice, I want to eat scrambled eggs, my mother went out and borrowed eggs and came back, and I gave scrambled oil eggs ???????"

When Wei Guo heard this, he was dumbfounded, he didn't know that the child was used to being like this, so he sighed and said: "Hey, the next generation, grandma still can't bring grandchildren." ”

Dongmei looked at Taotao, who was still crying, and pointed at Taotao angrily and said: "Like you, you are like paste, messing around, how to study in the future, how to read well, how to live in the future, how to marry a daughter-in-law, how to live, you don't worry, I am worried." Forget it, I still won't sign you up this year, and I'll mess around at home for another year, and I'll be in school next year. ”

Taotao was about to finish crying, but when he heard that his mother didn't sign him up for school, he started crying again with a "wow" sound.

Wei Guo hurriedly said: "Why don't you sign up for the doll, learn for a year in the morning, and have the benefits of a year." ”

After speaking, Wei Guo stretched out his hand to stroke the child's head, comforting and comforting Xia Taotao.

But when Taotao saw that his father stretched out his hand to him, he thought that he was going to pump himself like his mother, so he simply stopped crying, and ran towards his grandmother's house.

Dongmei looked at Wei Guo and said, "The doll's personality has become like this, why not correct it, you say." ”

After speaking, tears flowed involuntarily. She looked up at the blue sky, took a deep breath, and sadly walked towards the bedroom.

After eating breakfast and cleaning up, Dongmei and Wei Guo called Tao Tao out of her grandmother's house and prepared to take him to sign up, but they were surprised to find that Tao Tao was wearing the pair of cow nose ring shoes on his feet, and they were very clean.

Before Dongmei and Wei Guo could react, Wei Guo's mother followed closely, looked at her son and daughter-in-law and said, "Don't beat my baby again." The baby is pitiful, I didn't wear the cow nose ring shoes, I love it very much, don't blame me anymore. I washed the shoes, then picked them on a stick, put them on the fire in the stove room to dry, and let the baby wear them to sign up. ”

After speaking, Wei Guoma's eyes were full of love and looked at Taotao.

Wei Guo and Dong Mei looked at each other, thinking that grandma's love for her grandson was really boundless.
