Chapter 119: Trying to Overcome Opinion
When he returned home, he didn't fall asleep all night. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
When he lay on the bed and tossed and turned, he completely came to his senses, and he deeply blamed himself for not taking the child's words too seriously, let alone such a serious corporal punishment.
He was afraid that his behavior would cause a psychological shadow on Taotao.
As soon as it dawned the next day, he took Nana to Dongmei's house to watch Taotao.
Due to the early arrival of the country, Dongmei's family had just gotten up from the kang.
Dongmei, who came out of the house and was about to wash her face, saw Wei Guo walk in, didn't pay any attention to him, and went straight to the well to scoop water and wash her face.
Wei Guo smiled awkwardly at Dongmei, and then walked into the house.
Dongmei's parents saw Wei Guo coming in, and they were busy welcoming Wei Guo to sit down and said, "Wei Guo, why did you come so early, did you have any food?"
Wei Guo walked to Taotao, who was still asleep, and said to Dongmei's parents: "Yesterday, I accidentally hit Taotao, and I didn't fall asleep last night with guilt, so I will come over to see the doll." “
After speaking, Wei Guo saw that there were scratches everywhere on Taotao's face, arms, hands, and feet, and he couldn't help but shed tears in distress, hating himself for not being so impulsive and beating his beloved son.
Dongmei's mother saw Wei Guo crying, and stepped forward to comfort Wei Guo and said, "Dongmei and I took the child to the health team for inspection yesterday, and everything is fine, it's okay, don't worry." “
Hearing that the child was fine, Wei Guo wiped his tears and choked up: "It's all my fault, I don't do my duty as a father, it's all my fault." “
Before Wei Guo's words were finished, Dongmei washed her face and walked in.
She took Nana out of Wei Guo's arms, didn't look at Wei Guo, and directly waved Wei Guo's hand outward, meaning to let him out.
Wei Guo looked at Dongmei pitifully and said, "Dongmei, I was really wrong yesterday, and now I apologize to the child and apologize to you."
Dongmei's face was expressionless, holding Nana in her right hand, and pointing out of the house with her left hand, she said, "You go out, come back in a few days." “
Wei Guo stood up helplessly, and just as he was about to speak, Dongmei directly interrupted him and said: "Taotao had a nightmare last night, I don't want him to open his eyes and the first thing he sees is you, your current image in the child's psychology is a demon, you come back in a few days!"
Hearing this, Wei Guo wiped his tears and snot, and after saying goodbye to Nana, he went home in disgrace.
Dongmei saw Weiguo go out, and said fiercely: "Die Weiguo, when I saw him, I couldn't wait to kick him out, and beat the children like this, I am embarrassed to come, and I am not ashamed." “
Dongmei's mother felt sorry for her son-in-law, she spoke for Wei Guo: "Dong Mei, you have to be forgiving and forgiving, Wei Guo has apologized to the child, you forgive him, who hasn't made a mistake." “
Dongmei looked at Wei Guo, who disappeared at the door, and said: "Everyone makes mistakes, but I haven't seen a mistake with my own son, it's really strange." “
No matter what Dongmei's mother said, she couldn't comfort Dongmei's injured heart, so she gave Dongmei an example.
She told Dongmei that Dongmei's younger brother had a bull temper when he was a child, and once he lost his temper and sat on the ground and couldn't get up, and Dongmei's father was about to go out to work with a rack car, but was blocked by Dongmei's brother.
Dong Mei's father warned Dong Mei that if he didn't come again, he would pull the cart and run over his legs.
After three more warnings, Dongmei's younger brother still couldn't sit on the ground, and as a result, Dongmei's father really pulled the cart and ran over Dongmei's legs.
Hearing this, Dongmei was stunned, looked at her mother in surprise and said, "My dad has a great image and a bright and upright image all his life, why has he ever done such a thing?"
Dongmei's mother said: "At that time, just me, your father, and your brother were there, and there was no one else, so your father really overwhelmed it." “
Hearing this, Dongmei recalled for a long time, and finally remembered, she said: "When I was a child, I remember, no wonder there was a time when my younger brother walked with a limp, we asked him, he didn't say it, it turned out that my father used a rack car to press?"
Dongmei's mother nodded and said: "Like your father, who has been a village party secretary all his life, such a wise person can do this kind of thing, let alone defend the country, so it's better to forgive the country, let the past things pass, the two of them are together, take care of the children, and run the family well is the most important thing." “
Wei Guo's mother's words seemed to enlighten Dongmei, and in an instant, her hatred for Wei Guo was not as serious as before.
At the same time, she also told herself again and again in her heart that no matter how Wei Guo treats Taotao, he loves Taotao, where is there a father who doesn't love his son.
Dongmei sighed and decided to forgive Wei Guo who had done something wrong after three days.
In the afternoon, Brother Dongmei heard that Dongmei was coming, and the family came to visit Dongmei, because he had encountered a major decision, and it was time to make a decision.
He felt that Dongmei had been in the city for a long time, and he was a person who had seen the world, and his vision was much more long-term than that of them.
And it just so happened that at this time, Dongmei's younger brother also sold out of green onions in a nearby village and came back on a bicycle, and the whole family gathered together.
And Yan Village, where Chunmei is located, is relatively far away, so I can't come over for a while.
Dongmei has two children, the eldest daughter is five years old and is named Yin Qing, and the younger son is called Yin Gang and is two years old.
Brother Dongmei is also a son and a daughter, the eldest is called Yongyong, two years older than Taotao, and the younger is called Juanjuan, one year older than Taotao.
The family sat around the courtyard, basking in the sun, which was not too warm.
Brother Dongmei asks for everyone's opinions, do you want to go to Baoji City to sell fruits?
Since Dongmei's sister-in-law's brother worked in a hospital in Baoji City, he found that the business of selling fruits near the hospital was particularly good, so he suggested that his sister and brother-in-law, who were farming in the village, give up a few acres of land at home and go to Baoji to sell fruits.
The reason why Dong Meige hesitated was because he had never sold fruits, and he didn't know anything about this business, coupled with the constraints of traditional small-scale farmer thinking, he couldn't let go of the few acres of land at home.
Brother Dongmei listened to his brother's description and immediately suggested that his brother give up the idea of going to Baoji.
Brother Dong Mei told Brother Dong Mei that first, it was because it was too far away and he was not familiar with the place.
Second, because there are many unknown factors in doing business, what if you lose money?
Farmers don't have the money to pay for tuition.
There is some truth in Dong Meidi's words, in which era, the people in the village mainly eat noodles, have no money to buy fruits, and do not eat fruits at all, so they don't know which fruit is delicious and which fruit sells well, which increases the uncertainty and uncertainty of selling fruits.
Brother Dongmei listened to his brother's words, nodded and said, "That makes sense." “
Dongmei's father also didn't agree with Dongmeige going to sell fruit so far away, because he felt that no one in the villagers around him seemed to eat fruit, so he thought that if his son went to sell fruit, how could he sell it?
Obviously, Dongmei's father underestimated the difference between urban and rural consumption power.
Although Dongmei's mother has no idea, as a very traditional woman, she still thinks it is better to be conservative, just plant these few acres of land at home.
Besides, in the hinterland of Guanzhong, the cultivated land is level, the irrigation is good, and the harvest is almost every year, as long as the food and clothing can be solved, then it is okay, what else is there to be greedy?
After listening to the advice of his younger brother and parents, Brother Dongmei strengthened his thoughts and decided to be at home, and it was the king to plant his own land and take one acre and three points of land.
However, Dongmei stood up, she defied public opinion and firmly supported her brother to leave the countryside and go out to break through.
Dongmei told her brother what the goal of rural people is to leave the loess, say goodbye to the hard work of facing the loess and facing the sky, seek a better life, let the family live a good life, and let the children receive a better education.
It would be foolish to keep your eyes on the insignificant fields.
Dongmei's words angered Dongmei's brother, who was already more short-tempered, and he jumped out directly to refute Dongmei and said: "Rural people are born to be with the land, if they leave the land, then there is no guarantee of life, what is the difference between being called Huazi?"
Dongmei asked her younger brother rhetorically: "Then how do you explain Weiguo, he didn't leave the land, and he didn't see how bad his life was?"
Brother Dong Mei immediately retorted: "Brother Wei Guo went out through study and the college entrance examination, and he is a person with a formal establishment, this point, the eldest brother has no way to compare, if the eldest brother goes out, at most he is a floating person, relying on the sky to eat, and his life is not guaranteed at all." “
Seeing that there was no way to convince her younger brother, Dongmei directly told everyone about her experience of selling popsicles and selling medicine when she was in a drill base.
Compared with farming, the income from selling medicine for a month may be higher than the income from planting land for a year.
Obviously, going out, leaving the yellow earth, and doing business is one of the best and fastest ways to change your lifestyle and improve your quality of life.
When everyone heard that Dongmei was still self-reliant in the pampered environment in the city, they all cast admiring glances at Dongmei.
And Brother Dongmei, in front of Dongmei's practice, instantly extinguished.
Dongmei's mother and Dongmei's father had nothing to say and chose to be silent.
And Brother Dongmei, after listening to Dongmei's suggestion, finally made up his mind to go out.
It is precisely because of Brother Dongmei's small decision that in the next great development of China and the process of urbanization, Brother Dongmei's family successfully settled in the city, and became citizens of a big city, with a household registration and housing in the provincial capital.
Due to his conservative thinking, Dong Meidi never left the countryside and dedicated his life to the yellow earth.
And his two children are also rooted in the village, and they are married and have children.
Twenty years later, however, the gap between rural and urban areas has become smaller and smaller, and the gap between people in the villages and in the cities has largely disappeared.
Brother Dongmei stayed in his own exclusive courtyard, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the fields, and sighed that his small villa was much better than the units in the city.
