Chapter 116: Back to my parents' house

Like every time they go back to their hometown, Dongmei and Wei Guo stayed in Wei Guo for a while, and then they began to visit relatives. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Because Wei Guo and Dong Mei are already from the city compared to the people in the village, the relatives around them are looking forward to Wei Guo and Dong Mei's visit.

Because every time the two of them come over, they will bring some gifts to their relatives.

Dongmei's maiden home is very close to Wei Guoguo, and the two villages are only a few hundred acres of land apart.

When he returned to his parents' house, Wei Guo brought gifts to his father-in-law were two shovels, a small hammer, a pair of pliers and a change cone.

These things are all Wei Guo's drilling team, using the leftovers, but they are still sharp and usable, so Wei Guo repaired the old and brought them back.

In this day and age, those things look very inconspicuous, even a little shabby and unbelievable.

However, in those days, it was still precious to the farmer who worked all year round and did not have the extra money to buy farm tools and tools.

Although Dongmei's father is in his sixties, he is still a reliable laborer in the crop fields.

Dongmei and Weiguo took their two children and walked along the path they didn't know how many times they had walked towards Yinjia Village.

This road has not been walked for a whole year, and there are many newly built houses around, which is very beautiful.

Wei Guo's walking speed has always been very fast, and he is always not in the same tone as Dongmei.

Dongmei led the two children to walk behind, and Wei Guo walked in front alone, like leading the party, walking and so on.

After walking a short dirt road, Wei Guo and Dongmei followed a path that had been stepped out next to the canal.

Next, as long as you keep following this canal, you can enter Yinjia Village and arrive at Dongmei's home.

Tao Tao and Nana mischievously followed Dongmei's side, dragging the dead grass growing in the canal from time to time.

Taotao asked Dongmei even more curiously, what is this canal used for?

Dongmei told Taotao that this canal is called the North Trunk Canal, which is a main waterway for irrigation in the entire township.

Without this canal, thousands of acres of fertile land would not have been irrigated, and crops would not have been harvested.

And because of the construction of this canal, the path of the wolves on the South Mountain was completely blocked.

When Dongmei was a child, there were often wolves in the neighborhood, and every now and then she would hear that the children in a certain village were eaten by wolves, so everyone always lived in a fear of the unknown.

Now, the canal has completely blocked the wolves and ensured the safety of the villagers, so that the children are no longer afraid of being taken away by the wolves, and the parents no longer have to worry about their children being eaten by the wolves.

At the same time, Dongmei and Weiguo also sighed that the country is really getting better and better, and we are getting happier from generation to generation.

At this time, Dongmei's mother was sitting in front of the sewing machine in the house, sewing and mending the torn clothes worn by Wei Guo's father.

And Wei Guo's father just came back from the field, patted the dust on his body, scooped out a scoop of cold water from the water tank, and drank it in one go.

Dongmei, who walked in the door, saw that her father, an old man in his sixties, was still drinking cold water in the winter, so she hurriedly stepped forward to stop her and said, "Dad, how do you drink cold water, is there no boiling water in the house?"

Dongmei's father saw Dongmei and Weiguo, came with two children, hurriedly put down the horse spoon, wiped his mouth and said: "I know you are coming soon, every day after work, I have to take a look at the village entrance, I have waited for a long time, and finally waited for you." “

Wei Guo hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully and politely: "Well, Dad, we are back, you are okay." “

Dongmei's father is not hard of hearing, so he listened to Weiguo's words and explained them all: "I drink cold water every day, and the croppers are used to it."

After speaking, Dongmei's father burst into a hearty laugh.

Wei Guo was stunned for a moment, knowing that his father-in-law didn't understand what he meant, so he smiled, and then took it out of his bag and brought gifts to his father-in-law, such as shovels, small hammers, pliers, etc.

Dongmei's father looked at the gift that Wei Guo brought to him, and was very happy, so he immediately found a straight wooden stick, loaded the shovel, walked to the corner of the courtyard, and shoveled a few times in the land.

He said happily: "This shovel head is good, it should be stainless steel and sharp." “

When Wei Guo saw his father-in-law's happy appearance, he took out a round-headed shovel leader and said, "You have tried the square spade leader, and you can try this round shovel head again when you are finished." “

The farmer works, and the round shovel is used a little more than the square shovel head.

Dongmei's father happily took over the shovel leader of the country and said: "Some time ago, I happened to use a shovel leader, you are really timely rain." “

Wei Guo smiled, and took out a small hammer and pliers for Dongmei's father.

Dongmei walked into the house, looked at her mother who was wearing reading glasses and sewed clothes, and said, "Mom, I'm back." “

Dongmei's mother saw that Dongmei was back, so she hurriedly stopped sewing, took off her reading glasses and said, "I counted the time, you are coming back, I didn't expect that you are here today." “

Saying that, Dongmei's mother was going to go out to make noodles, press noodles, and make noodles for Dongmei's family to eat.

Dongmei hurriedly grabbed her mother and told her mother that she, Wei Guo and the child had eaten before coming.

By the way, she asked her mother not to patch her clothes again.

Dongmei's mother took the patched clothes off the sewing machine, and said to Dongmei with a smile: "The current clothes are only sewn twice, in the past, we sewed a piece of clothing dozens of times, what are we doing when we throw it away, what a pity, I can still make shoes for clothes that can't be worn." “

Dongmei took out the new clothes she bought for her parents from her bag and said, "What kind of society is it now, you still wear patched clothes, and you can't see a single person in the city wearing patched clothes." “

Hearing that no one in the city was wearing patched clothes, Dongmei's mother was surprised and said, "Could it be that the people in the city have worn out their clothes and thrown them away?"

Dongmei unfolded her clothes and said, "If you wear them out, throw them away, who can wear them out." “

When Dongmei's mother heard that the people in the city were so wasteful, she shook her head regretfully and said: "What a waste, what a sin, it's not easy to grow cotton, it's even more difficult to spin cotton into thread, and it takes even more time to make clothes, I really don't know how to cherish it." “

Dongmei explained to her mother: "Nowadays, people wear not only cotton, but also chemical fiber, plastic and so on. “

Dongmei's mother didn't understand, anyway, she just thought it would be a pity to throw away the clothes.

Dongmei put the clothes on her mother and said happily, "Mom, you see how suitable this dress is for you." “

Dongmei's mother saw that the clothes Dongmei bought for herself turned out to be red, and hurriedly refused, saying: "I'm in my fifties, an old woman, where do you dare to wear red-colored clothes?"

Dongmei took a lot of effort to put on the red coat for her mother and said: "Foreigners, a fifty-year-old woman, still in love, how can you come to us, a woman in her fifties, can't even wear a red dress?"

Hearing that women in their fifties were still in love, Dongmei's mother was almost shocked to lose her big teeth, and she couldn't believe it: "Women in their fifties are still in love, that's too evil." “

Mother's words, Dongmei was speechless, she knew that the ideas and things accepted by her mother's generation could not be compared with her own generation at all.

So, she didn't embarrass her mother, she wore it if she wanted to, and put it away temporarily if she didn't want to.

However, she also has a heart, and when she is ready to buy clothes for her mother next time, she should not only focus on beauty, but also pay attention to whether her mother will accept it and whether she will wear it out, which is the key.
