Chapter 2 Letter Communication
It turned out that after Cui Weiguo went to a neighboring province, he got on the score line in the first year. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info (you must know that the admission rate was nearly 1% at that time, and only one or two children in a village could be admitted to school)
Cui Weiguo, who doesn't know how to fill in the college entrance examination volunteers, filled in a few strokes casually, the first choice is normal, the second choice is petroleum, and the third choice is metallurgy. By mistake, Cui Weiguo was admitted to his second choice, went to Changqingqiao, went to a petroleum secondary school, and was assigned to Karamay after graduation and became a glorious oil worker.
Dongmei, who got the news, thought that Weiguo had become a commercial grain, and she was a regular employee of a large state-owned enterprise. Besides, Wei Guo, who has become a commercial grain, must also want to find a girl with commercial grain. However, he didn't like small men very much, and the two were in love, so he sent a letter to Wei Guo and asked him if he was willing to do so.
Dongmei, who sent the letter, calmly waited for Wei Guo's reply, she thought that Wei Guo would definitely tell her bluntly in the letter I don't want you. In this way, if you are fired from the factory, you will go back to the countryside and find a tall farmer with broad shoulders.
But to Dongmei's surprise, Wei Guo told her bluntly in the letter, I want you, and a year later, when her internship expires, she will come back to marry Dongmei.
After reading the letter, Dongmei, who returned to the dormitory from the guard room, didn't know whether it was sad or happy, and sat on the edge of the bed in a daze.
Roommate Xiaolan happily rushed into the dormitory, and after seeing Dongmei sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze, she pulled her up and told her excitedly: "What are you still sitting here waiting for, don't you know that the announcement will show the movie "Little Flower" in the lighting stadium at night?"
After speaking, Xiaolan took Dongmei's hand, picked up the grasshopper stool in the dormitory and ran to the light court.
Back then, watching a movie was as rare as watching a celebrity's concert now.
The stadium was crowded with people, full of people, even climbing on the trees.
Dongmei and Xiaolan didn't sit on the grasshopper stool at all, but stood on it and stood on tiptoe to watch the whole movie.
Dongmei thinks that Zhao Xiaohua is the most beautiful woman in the world, Zhao Yongzheng is the most handsome man in the world, and "Velvet Flower" is the best song, and at the same time, she is also full of longing for the romantic love that she has never thought of.
On the way back to the dormitory, Dongmei and Xiaolan walked arm in arm, she told Xiaolan about herself and Weiguo, Xiaolan told Dongmei without thinking: "If Weiguo is as good-looking as Zhao Yongzheng (played by Tang Guoqiang), marry him, forget it." ”
Dongmei held a grasshopper stool in her hand, and said thoughtfully: "Don't say that Zhao Yongzheng is as good-looking, but he doesn't even have a third of him." ”
Xiao Lan laughed, then shook the two braids on his head and said, "When the factory dismisses us, as soon as we go home, I will find a farmer like Zhao Yongzheng to marry." ”
When Dongmei heard the dismissal, she was surprised and dropped the grasshopper stool in her hand to the ground, and he asked Xiaolan in surprise: "We did a good job, why did you dismiss us?"
Xiaolan helped Dongmei lift the grasshopper stool, handed it to Dongmei and said: "You don't know, the factory has recently recruited the children of the factory, and the recruitment notices have been posted, and the personnel are already saturated, and our temporary workers will definitely be dismissed." ”
Within a few days, the children of the tire factory were recruited, and the group of temporary female workers recruited from the countryside received a notice to resign and return home. The temporary female workers on the entire floor shed tears while packing their luggage, and none of them went home crying.
When she returned home, Dongmei brought back a lot of delicious food and beautiful clothes from the city to her parents, brothers, brothers and sisters. He also encouraged his younger brothers and sisters to study hard and strive to get out of the countryside, and told them a lot about what they had seen and heard in the city.
At night, lying on the familiar kang, but I can't sleep after tossing and turning.
She simply got up from the kang, lit the kerosene lamp, took out the letter written to her by Wei Guo, and tasted it carefully by the faint light of the kerosene lamp. She found that although Wei Guo's handwriting was not good-looking and scribbled, the content was very rich, the writing was vivid, and the feelings were delicate, so she took out her only fountain pen, tore two pieces of paper from her sister's homework book, and began to write a reply to Wei Guo.
Dongmei, who has been accustomed to working since childhood, picks up labor tools and is still very handy. Dongmei's mother watched her daughter who came back from the factory in the city turn white and become beautiful, and she couldn't bear her to bask in the sun like this, so she asked her to go to the big tree on the ground to enjoy the shade. Dongmei refused, in the family, her brother was selling pigs outside, her younger brothers and sisters were all in school, and no one could help her parents except herself.
After months of labor, Dongmei's skin turned black and red.
Although I eat a lot every day, not only am I not fat, but I have also lost weight. However, she is happy every day, especially when she comes back from work at night, using the weak light of the kerosene lamp, reading the letters written to her by Wei Guo, and writing a reply letter to Wei Guo herself.
In this way, Dongmei and Wei Guo unknowingly began to fall in love.
Slowly, Dongmei accumulated a small pile of letters written to her by Wei Guo and packed them in a delicate cardboard box. Whenever you are tired from work, when you are in a bad mood, or when you are sick, you will be much happier when you take out the letter of defending the country and read it.
From the letter written to her by Wei Guo, she read Wei Guo's heart, Wei Guo's character, Wei Guo's joys, sorrows, and sorrows, the most important thing is that she found that Wei Guo is not only good at writing, but also very good at talking, very humorous, very wise, she didn't expect that Wei Guo, who was wooden and dull in school, had such a wonderful side.
Spring goes to autumn, time is like an arrow, and I unconsciously worked at home for more than half a year.
One day, as usual, after working in the field, Dongmei pulled the cart and walked on the way home. In the distance, a postman on a green 28-weight bicycle shouted at her.
She knew the postman who delivered the letter, his name was Pony, and he was in the same class as herself in high school, although they were not admitted to school, but his father was a postman, and after he graduated from high school, he took his father's class, and naturally became a glorious postman.
A pony in a green uniform dismounts from his bicycle and retrieves the letter from a mail bag perched on the beam.
Dongmei looked at the postman pony enviously, thinking to herself if she could have a formal job like the pony, what a wonderful thing it would be.
Xiaoma handed the letter to Dongmei and said with a smile: "Brother Wei Guo is really punctual, he sends you a letter from Xinjiang at this time every month, it's really thunderous." ”
Dongmei happily accepted the letter from the pony to her, and her faces flushed with shame.
The pony got on the bicycle, turned the pedal up, looked at Dongmei and said, "What is Brother Wei Guo doing in Xinjiang? Why hasn't he come back for almost a year?"
Dongmei neatly folded the letter in half, then put it in the pocket of her clothes, and patted it with her hand, for fear that she would accidentally drop the letter that she had been waiting for for a long time, she replied to the pony, "Oil." ”
When the pony heard this, he was very curious, scratched the back of his head and asked, "How do you dig the oil? Is it dug from this side of the earth, and then it is dug up to the other side of the earth, just from the White House where Carter lives?"
After speaking, Xiao Ma laughed and asked again: "Digging oil, is Brother Wei Guo in Daqing?"
Dongmei was still busy going back to cook, burn the kang, wash clothes, and pull the insoles, and she didn't want to talk to Xiaoma more, so she simply replied to him: "It's not Daqing, Weiguo said it's Changqing, and I don't know anything else." With that, she pulled up the cart, said goodbye to the pony, and headed home.
After finishing her work, Dongmei carefully took out the letter that Wei Guo wrote to her from her pocket. He took a needle and picked out the oil twist of the kerosene lamp, found a foreign fire from the stove, and rowed it with a sloppy sound. In an instant, the whole room lit up, and Dongmei unfolded the letter and placed it under the kerosene lamp.
The light of the kerosene lamp shone on the letterhead, and the handwriting became clearer, it was written in blue-black pen water, word by word, densely packed, she counted, there were five pages, more than six thousand words.
Dongmei closed the door tightly, and read the letter in a whisper, when she read: Calculate the time, when you received this letter, maybe I had already taken the train and embarked on the way home?????
Dongmei's joyful mood just now suddenly became nervous, she knew that it would take three days and three nights to return to Guanzhong from Xinjiang by train, so after saying that, she would be able to see him three days, Dongmei suddenly felt restless.
Although they have been chatting in the letter for more than half a year, and they have vaguely talked about their feelings, they have not said a word face-to-face, and they have chatted once.
Dongmei leaned her head on the futon on the kang, her eyes blinked, she remembered Wei Guo in middle school: he was not tall, his face looked very immature, and he did not have the demeanor of a senior brother at all, and the cloth shoes he wore on his feet were always covered with dust, and it seemed that they had never been clean.
Especially what he wears, that is miserable, the little man always wears very wide clothes, and the left one, the right one, is covered with patches, although there are patches on the clothes worn by everyone in that era, but like him, there are not many classmates with so many patches on their clothes, she knows that it is not because his family is poor, but because his parents can live, always very thrifty, and save up the money?????
At this time, Dongmei's mother suddenly pushed the door and walked in, took a small broom from the kang in, threw it on Dongmei's kang and said: "Clean up the house well, sweep the kang, you don't have to go to work with me tomorrow, find a new cotton jacket to wear." ”
Dongmei hadn't recovered from her thoughts, her lips moved slightly, and she asked her mother in surprise, "What are you doing cleaning the house?"
Dongmei's mother has four children, always busy from morning to night, she threw a sentence to Dongmei, and then she was busy mending the clothes of her naughty little son, she said: "Tomorrow at noon, Weiguo will come to our house, you get up in the morning to make noodles, and make noodles at noon." ”
When Dongmei heard that Wei Guo would come tomorrow, she let out an "ah" in surprise, thinking that she would not arrive in three days? Why did she come in advance, and she was not mentally prepared.
