As the Chinese New Year approached, Wei Guo Dongmei's family embarked on a journey back to their hometown. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It's just that, compared with previous years, this year's journey has been shortened by one day.

It turned out that when they returned to their hometown every year, because there was no direct car from the city, they had to take a bus to the provincial capital first, then stay for one night, and then take another bus the next day to go back.

But now, there is a long-distance bus directly from the city to Baoji, and this car just passed through the county where they are located, so Wei Guo and Dongmei took this car, and it only took one day to arrive in the county at night.

A family of four sat in a car from the county seat to the township.

After getting off the bus at the familiar place of the third line, Wei Guo hired a van and dragged the family of four to the door.

Previously, there were only walk-behind tricycles and tractors in this place on the third line.

Every time they returned home, Wei Guo had to hire them, and the family could only sit in an open-air manger.

In the winter, the cold wind blows all the way, and when they arrive at home, adults and children are frozen into green eggs.

Now, with the van, the family of four no longer has to suffer from the cold.

They sat in the comfortable van and enjoyed it.

Nana even complained: "Dad, since you have a van, why didn't you hire a van to take us home before?" ”

Tao Tao said happily next to him: "This van is so comfortable." ”

Dongmei rubbed her hands and said, "It's good to have a van, you don't have to be cold anymore." ”

Wei Guo explained to Nana: "Nana, when I went back to my hometown in the past, there were no vans at all here on the third line, only tractors, and my father had no choice." ”

Hearing everyone's discussions, the master who drove the van said with a smile: "I also bought this van this year to run transportation." ”

Hearing that a farmer master actually bought a car, Dongmei said enviously: "Wow, master, you are so powerful that you actually bought a car." ”

The driver smiled and said: "I don't have so much money to buy a new one, this van is second-hand, but I can drive it, and when I pull people to run the transportation to earn back the cost, I will change to a new van." ”

Dongmei praised the driver master and said: "Master, you are really good, my eldest brother's dream is to own a van, it seems that his dream is not far from being realized." ”

The driver said: "Yes, now the society is good, the country is good, even if you are an illiterate farmer, as long as you are willing to work hard, hard work and not lazy, you can live the life of a city person, and you can realize your dreams." ”

Wei Guo, who was sitting next to him, listened to the voice of the driver's master, and felt very familiar.

He said, "Master, I remember the first few times we came back, it seems that you were hired. “

Hearing this, the driver smiled and said: "Yes, I used to drive a three-wheeled Benben car, and now I have money in my hand, so I will change to this second-hand van, my dream is that one day I can have my own bus, and then run long distances, and that will make money." ”

Wei Guo said: "Come on, master, I believe that your dream will definitely be realized." ”

The van was much faster than the tractor, and after a while, it drove into Cuijia Village and stopped at the door of the house.

Before leaving, the driver told Wei Guo that his name was Ma Hongxing, and he lived in the third-tier township, and if he came back in the future, he would find himself to drive them.

Compared with previous years, when Wei Guo's mother estimated that Wei Guodongmei's family was coming back, she always put up lights at the door, hung lanterns, and lit light bulbs.

But what's wrong this year, not only is it dark outside the door, but even the house is dark.

Wei Guo's family of four, after walking into the house, looked at the dark yard and the house without lights, and felt very strange.

Wei Guo said: "Why didn't you pull a lamp, is my mother going out?"

Dongmei also said: "It should be, otherwise the lights at home must be on." ”

At this time, Tao Tao shouted: "Grandma, we are back." ”

Nana also shouted, "Grandpa, we're back." ”

After the two children finished shouting, Wei Guo's father staggered out of the house.

When he saw his son and daughter-in-law's family of four coming back, he said happily: "I have been waiting for you to come back every day, and you have finally come back." ”

Wei Guo saw that his father came out, but his mother did not come out, he looked at his father and said, "Dad, we are back, what about my mother?"

Wei Guo's father said, "I'm going to your brother Baoguo." ”

Dongmei said: "Oh, I'm going to Baoguo, when will I come back?"

Wei Guo's father said: "I won't come back for the time being." ”

Hearing that he didn't come back, Wei Guo asked curiously, "Why didn't you come back?"

Wei Guo's father suddenly remembered something, and he suddenly said happily: "Oh, look at my brain, I forgot to tell you, Baoguo's daughter-in-law gave birth, and it is a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, and your mother went to Nanyang Town to take care of her grandson." ”

Hearing that his younger brother finally had a child, Wei Guo said happily: "Oh, Baoguo finally has a child, congratulations to him." ”

Dongmei also said happily: "If you don't give birth, you won't be born, you will be a pair of twins in your life, it's really good." ”

Compared with the happiness of the two adults, Taotao and Nana said worriedly: "Grandma has a little grandson, will she not like me and Nana?"

Hearing this, Wei Guo's father smiled and said, "My precious grandson, even if your grandmother has a little grandson, she will always love you." ”

With that, Wei Guo's father opened the curtain and let the family of four enter the house to warm up.

However, when I walked into the house, I didn't feel any warmth other than the hot kang.

Wei Guo's father pulled the electric light and said: "When I am home alone, I don't turn on the light, I just sit in the dark." ”

Wei Guo looked at his father and said, "Dad, it's not that our family has no money, you are home alone, so turn on the lights and watch TV when you want to." ”

Wei Guo's father shook his head and said, "I'm seventy-two, what are I wasting electricity for, save this money and spend it on you and your grandchildren." ”

Wei Guo said: "Dad, don't save, we have money, and you can spend your money." ”

Dongmei stood in the house, shivering from the cold and said, "Dad, isn't there a honeycomb coal stove in the house, why is it not alive." ”

Wei Guo's father then began to make the stove and said: "I'm home alone, what do I want to be so warm, it's too waste of honeycomb coal, I'm waiting for you all to come back, and then I'm going to make the stove to warm up." ”

Dongmei shook her head and said: "Dad, don't save, it's not the old society now, not only poor, but also nothing, now it's the new society, everyone has money, and the days are getting better and better, there is everything, don't care too much about that bit of electricity and honeycomb coal." ”

Wei Guo's father lit the fire and said: "Hey, I've saved a lifetime, and I've developed a habit of life, and I can't change it." ”

Dongmei knew that Wei Guo's father had tens of thousands of yuan in the bank, but she looked at Wei Guo's father's savings, and suddenly understood why Wei Guo was also so saving, it turned out that it was all family inheritance.

For example, when Wei Guo is at home, whenever it is night, as long as the light is on, he is not allowed to turn on the TV, as long as the TV is on, he is not allowed to turn on the light, even if he reads the newspaper, he must take the newspaper to the TV and read it by the light of the TV.

Moreover, the water for washing vegetables, cooking, and washing clothes was never allowed to be poured out, but was specially used in a large bucket to accumulate and use as water for flushing toilets.

Every time after eating, Wei Guo would pour some boiling water into the bowl, rinse the oil in the bowl, and then drink the boiling water in the bowl.

Similar to this kind of thing, endlessly, Dongmei even quarreled with Wei Guo about this, trying to make Wei Guo change these things through her own efforts, where she thought she should not be saved.

But today, after hearing Wei Guo's father say that saving is a habit and a way of life, Dongmei decided not to change Wei Guo.

Once a person gets used to a way of life, it is difficult to change it, unless he changes someone.

After cleaning up her things and heating up the kang, Dongmei walked into the kitchen and prepared to cook something for everyone.

However, when he walked into the kitchen, he found that there was not even a pot of boiling water in the whole kitchen.

Dongmei was very puzzled, she shouted at the house: "Weiguo, is there a kettle in the house, come into the kitchen with boiling water, and I'll give it to you." ”

Wei Guo checked the several kettles in the house and found that they were all empty.

Wei Guo looked at his father puzzled and said, "Dad, don't you drink boiled water every day, why don't you even have a little boiling water at home?"

Wei Guo's father hurriedly got down from the kang and said while boiling water on the honeycomb coal stove: "I'm old and can't pee in a hurry, so I drink some soup when I eat every day, and I basically don't drink water, so I don't boil water." ”

Hearing this, Wei Guo knew that his father was unable to urinate because he was old and had problems with his prostate.

However, even if you can't pee, you have to drink water, otherwise what if it's serious.

Wei Guo poured his father a glass of water and said, "Dad, you drink this glass of water first, and I will take you to the county hospital tomorrow to see you." ”

Hearing that he was going to the hospital, Wei Guo's father quickly shook his head and said: "I'm an old bone, what hospital do I go to, what are you wasting that money for, I can hold on to it day by day." ”

Hearing that his father was reluctant to go to the hospital, Wei Guo was a little sad and said: "Dad, you have worked hard for your children all your life, and you have saved a lifetime, and now, your children are out of work and rich, why do you want to save so much, you should live a good life and enjoy life." ”

Wei Guo's father said with a smile: "I was born in the famine years, and when I was three months old, my father, who is your grandfather, pushed a wheelbarrow, pushing me and my sisters and brothers, and pushing your grandmother on the other, and went out along the road to ask for food and escape the famine."

When I was two years old, my mother died of hunger, and my father almost died because he had no food.

There was no way, one of my sisters was sold to the landlord's family as a child bride, so that my father and I, as well as several of my brothers and sisters, survived.

Now, the society is so good, there is food, drink, and money, and I am already very satisfied. ”

Wei Guo's father lost his mother when he was a child and never felt maternal love.

He knows how pitiful it will be for children if they don't get their mother's love, so Wei Guo's father gave his lifelong love to the children.

Now, Wei Guo has settled in the city, but he still left his father in the countryside, and Wei Guo suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

He couldn't hold back his tears and said: "Dad, Mom went to Nanyang Town to take care of my brother's children, you are alone at home, I don't worry, when the New Year is over, I will take you to the city, we live together, so that you can enjoy Qingfu." ”

Hearing that his son was going to take him into the city, Wei Guo's father hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I, an old farmer, dirty, and unhygienic, go to your city and make your clean unit house dirty, what should I do, I will stay in the countryside and be comfortable." ”

Although Wei Guo's father didn't plan to go into the city with Wei Guo, he was still very curious, what was the city like?

Wei Guo's father was a soldier when he was young, and he fought with the army, and went as far as Tibet.

He was injured a few times during this period, and once he fell into a river, was blown for several kilometers, and almost drowned, so he cherishes his current life and always feels that everything is good.

Hearing that his father was unwilling to go into the city with him, Wei Guo persuaded him for a long time.

Finally, he persuaded his father to go with him to the city to enjoy happiness.

However, his father's condition was to let Wei Guo wait for another half a year and wait for the weather to warm up before going, he was afraid that the heating in the unit was too dry, and he would not be able to adapt to it after he went.

When Wei Guo heard that his father finally agreed to go into the city with him to enjoy life, he said happily: "Dad, as long as you follow me into the city, I will definitely serve you like an emperor, so that you can live happily and comfortably every day." ”

Wei Guo's father hurriedly said: "Don't dare to treat me as an emperor, I can't stand it as an old peasant, I'm just going to go into the city with you to see how you people in the city live, eating, drinking, and playing every day, which is the same as us rural people?"

After a while, a pot of water was boiled, Wei Guo carried the kettle into the kitchen, handed it to Dongmei and said, "The boiling water is ready, you can use it, it's over, in the summer, take my dad to our house, so that his old man can also enjoy the happiness." ”

Hearing that Wei Guo's father was going to live with everyone, Dongmei said worriedly: "When the time comes, I will have to do business and take care of the children, where will I have the time to serve your father?"

Wei Guo already felt that he owed his father a lot of things, and when he heard that Dongmei didn't agree to take his father into the city, he instantly became angry.

He directly pointed at Dongmei's nose and scolded: "Dongmei, let me tell you, my father worked hard to raise several of our sisters to adulthood and pay for me to go to school, I am now working, but I have never repaid my father, now, I want to bring my father into the city, if you don't agree, then you will give me a fuck." ”

Listening to Wei Guo's words, Dong Mei was blindfolded all of a sudden, she stared at her big eyes and said: "Wei Guo, did you eat explosives, you were fine just now, why did it suddenly explode, I didn't say that I wouldn't let your father live at home, I just said, I may not have the energy to take care of him, why are you making such a big fire?"

Wei Guo yelled: "Dongmei, even if you don't do business or sell food, you must take care of my father and let him enjoy his old age in peace, there is no room for negotiation." ”

Dongmei listened to Wei Guo's words, she felt uncomfortable, she said in her heart, this Wei Guo, what is the case today, usually gentle and elegant, how can he become so domineering today, just like a hungry wolf, as if rushing over to eat people.
