When Yin Dongmei was in the third grade of elementary school, under the arrangement of her parents, she and Cui Weiguo, who was three years older than her and two levels higher, had a baby kiss. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

That day, after school, Yin Dongmei carried a small schoolbag and walked on the path home. When I was about to arrive at the entrance of the village, I saw my mother returning from work in the field with a hoe, chatting enthusiastically with a small aunt.

After she walked over, the aunt happily touched her face, patted her head, and then took out a roasted sweet potato and stuffed it into her clothes pocket, and praised her for her good looks and beauty.

Her mother told her that this was Aunt Cui from the neighboring village, who was Cui Weiguo's mother.

mentioned Cui Weiguo, she suddenly remembered that she was two levels taller than herself, who didn't seem to be as tall as herself, dirty, thin, and the ugly kid who ran very fast at the sports meeting.

She called Aunt Cui enthusiastically. Aunt Cui looked at Yin Dongmei happily, and her smiling eyes narrowed into a slit.

When I got home, I helped my mother finish cooking, and after carrying wheat grass to heat up the two kang at home, and then coaxing my sister who was more than a year old to sleep, my mother also walked in after she was busy, and casually told her that the girls in the village were all destined to kiss the baby, and she couldn't be left.

When Dongmei heard this, she didn't react for a long time, her mouth was long and round, and she looked at her mother.

Although she didn't understand what it meant to be a baby in the future, she knew that when she grew up, Wei Guo would definitely have a very unusual relationship with her.

I can't say why, Dongmei felt uncomfortable for a while, so she lay on the edge of the kang and cried.

Mother still has to take care of Dongmei's brother and younger brother, so she patted Dongmei's back and comforted her and said that Weiguo's parents are honest people, although the old couple is very low, but the crops in the field are the best in the whole village, and the work earns the most, and you won't be hungry in the future, stop crying, and go out to get busy after speaking.

Dongmei was afraid of waking her sister to sleep, so she could only cry quietly in a low voice, crying and crying and falling asleep, and when she woke up, the roasted sweet potato in her pocket was also crushed into a flat flat.

Although the two studied in the same school and could often meet, but since they decided to marry the baby, they all walked around as if they had seen a natural enemy or a nemesis, and they didn't say a word until they graduated from high school.

After graduating from high school, Yin Dongmei came to the city from the countryside and joined a state-owned tire factory as a temporary worker, mainly working on hot-pressed retreaded tires.

And Cui Weiguo failed to pass the secondary school exam for two consecutive years, so he left the school. Some people in the village said that he went home to work as a farmer and earned centimeters, and some people said that his uncle took him to a neighboring province at the low end of the score line to continue tutoring.

Yin Dongmei, who just entered the city, looked at the clothes of the people in the city very fresh, especially their pants, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, especially the size of the trousers is obviously larger than the size of the knee, the length of the pants also covers the heel, and she walks like sweeping the floor.

In the tire factory, she got a salary of three cents a day, less than forty yuan a month, and Yin Dongmei worked for two years.

On this day, after getting off work, as usual, Yin Dongmei wore a really good shirt, Zhongchang cloth pants and a few female workers, in the commissary at the gate of the factory, one person bought a three-cent popsicle, and while eating, he was chirping and laughing.

The girls of that era basically had no decoration, they all wore two braids, wearing their own cloth shoes, which can be seen from a distance, among the three or four female workers gathered together, Yin Dongmei is the most conspicuous, she is one meter six six tall, fair skin, the bridge of the nose is very high and straight, and the lips are always so red, like lipstick.

Xiao Wang, a female worker, held a popsicle in her hand, looked at Yin Dongmei's red lips and said, "Xiao Yin, did you secretly wipe your lipstick?"

Yin Dongmei smiled and showed a row of neat and white teeth and said, "No!" As she spoke, she dipped the melted and dripping popsicle into her lips, letting everyone see that the snow-white popsicle had not changed color.

Just when everyone was talking and laughing, the old man in charge of mailing letters in the guard room beckoned to Yin Dongmei, signaling that there was a letter from her today. In that era when there were no mobile phones and no Internet, letter was the main source of information.

Yin Dongmei walked over, thinking in her heart that it must be Cui Weiguo's letter, because it has been a while since she sent the letter to receiving Cui Weiguo's letter.

Entering the guard room, taking the envelope handed over by the old man, seeing that it was Cui Weiguo's reply, Yin Dongmei's fair face turned red, her heart was pounding, she couldn't wait to tear open the envelope, and wanted to know how Cui Weiguo would answer her.

The letter was mailed from Xinjiang, and the letter paper was red on a white background, and at first glance it was the special stationery of the unit. Cui Weiguo wrote three pages, although the pen was very sloppy, but Yin Dongmei, who graduated from high school, still recognized all of them. After reading the whole story, Dongmei finally saw the answer she wanted to know most at the end.

When Dongmei just came to work in the city's tire factory from the countryside, the sons of two section chiefs in the factory fell in love with the beautiful Dongmei.

People in that era were not in love like now, they chased it directly when they felt it, which was to create surprises and create romance, but in that era, men and women did not kiss, and direct dialogue would make everyone laugh, and they had to go through an intermediary to talk to the matchmaker.

The intermediary brought the words to Dongmei's ears, and stuffed a photo of the section chief's son to Dongmei, asking her to tell her family, think about it, and follow the section chief's son not only to eat commercial grain, but also to change his household registration to non-farming.

A few days later, Dongmei, who was hot pressing and retreading tires, was called to the office by the section chief.

The section chief was very enthusiastic and poured tea and water for Dongmei.

After a few words of greeting, the section chief cut to the point, saying that his son graduated from the secondary school (the secondary school at that time was equivalent to the current one), both civil and military, and he was as dignified as himself.

Dongmei's face was red, and she stood at the section chief's desk with her head bowed as if she was being criticized.

As he spoke, the section chief called someone to call his son in, and asked Dongmei in front of his son if he was willing to fall in love with his son and get married.

Dongmei, who was only nineteen years old at the time, was speechless when asked, and stood there at a loss.

The section chief thought that his family's conditions were good, and it was convenient for his position, and his son was handsome and tall (in today's words, he was rich and handsome), so he waited for Dongmei's affirmative answer with confidence.

But there was silence for three minutes, and Dongmei remained silent.

When the section chief was about to ask again, Dongmei cried out with a "wow", clenched her hands into fists, rubbed her eyes, and cried non-stop.

The section chief was frightened, and hurriedly explained that I am not Huang Shiren, I am forcibly married, if you don't comply, I won't force you.

Dongmei, who came out of the section chief's office, cried and her eyes were red, and the tear stains that tears crossed her fair face were clearly visible on the left and right.

Xiaolan, a female worker who was working with Dongmei to hot-press retreaded tires, saw Dongmei's crying red eyes, and thought incomprehensibly, she worked diligently and seriously, and did the work of three people by herself, why did the leader train Dongmei.

From the envelope mailed to the house by Dongmei, Dongmei's mother saw a photo of the section chief's son.

Dongmei's mother took the photo to Dongmei's father, smiled and said, "Look at the children of people in the city, how foreign, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, they are different from our old hats." ”

Dongmei's father is the village head of Yinjia Village, and he was writing materials, and he said without even looking at the photo: "People in the city work in factories, don't bask in the sun, don't deal with the land, of course white, of course clean." ”

Dongmei's mother took the photo and circled around the table where Dongmei's father was writing, held the photo in her hand and said, "You said, if Dongmei left her household registration in the city, it would be nice to eat commercial grain." ”

Dongmei's father stopped what he was writing, paused, then picked up the cup and took a sip of water, glanced at Dongmei's mother and said, "If you want to say anything, just say it, don't go around in circles." I'm still busy writing. ”

Dongmei's mother saw that Dongmei's father stopped, and said directly: "I think we will return Dongmei and Wei Guoding's doll, and let Dongmei go to the city to find her mother-in-law." ”

Dongmei's father is an old Red Army, an old party member, participated in the Huaihai Campaign, and his personality is very upright, he patted the table and said: "What is decided, how can you say that you will retreat, is there still a rule?"

Dongmei's mother took a step back, looked at Dongmei's father's eyes and said: "I will retreat, I will retreat, when I first set the baby kiss, Wei Guo's mother gave us fifty yuan to set the money, and tomorrow I will take the money to Cuijia Village to find Wei Guo's parents and retreat." ”

When Dongmei's father heard this, he was angry, stood up straight, put his hands behind his back, paced in the house, and said, "Isn't it nonsense that I got married to the woman, and now I am retiring?

As soon as Dongmei's mother heard the face, she suddenly rushed to her head, took off the apron tied around her waist, didn't eat, and shouted at Dongmei's father: "You know the face and face, is your face important or the child's future important, Weiguo's height and appearance will not be said for the time being, you can't bear to follow Weiguo to farm at home for a lifetime?"

Dongmei's mother's voice was loud, and Dongmei's father's voice was even louder: "What's wrong with planting for a lifetime, do you know the bottom of the section chief's son, that kind of son-in-law, I gave my daughter to him I don't feel at ease, marriage is rather low than high, let's find someone who is not commercial grain and is still down-to-earth and safe." ”

Dongmei's mother couldn't resist Dongmei's father, so she opened the curtain of the house and went out.

Dongmei receives a letter from her father.

In the letter, my father told her that although she had just entered the city from the countryside and had just arrived in the world, as a glorious working class, we should know very well that we are shouldering the heavy task of building the motherland and the four modernizations, and as the people of the third world, we the workers and peasants must unite to carry forward the party's glorious achievements and great traditions, rely on ourselves, work hard, and do our part for the country, society, and the people in the face of the spring breeze of reform and opening up.......

In the end, I told her that marriage pays attention to the right family, we don't eat commercial grain, just find an agricultural household registration, find commercial grain, after a long time, people will look down on us, and the marriage will be unhappy.

Dongmei is a well-behaved child and listens to her parents very much.

She knew that she was just a temporary worker in the factory, and that one day she would be laid off and go home to grow crops like her parents. Therefore, she formed a subconscious in her heart, marriage must be the right one, and never look for commercial food, so that after marriage, husband and wife can respect each other as guests and sit on an equal footing.

But what she never dreamed of was that Cui Weiguo, the old hat who had set a baby kiss with her, suddenly became a commercial food eater one day.
