Since the high-speed and rural special lines have been opened, it has become too easy for Wei Guo and Dongmei to return to their hometown.

In the past, when I went back to my hometown, I could toss the two of them to death, waiting for the car, and transferring the car, not only the road was not good, but also the car was not good.

Now, not only the road is good, the car is also good, but Dongmei and Weiguo still live in the provincial capital, all the way to the high-speed, as long as it takes more than two hours, you can reach the hometown county.

When the two arrived in the county seat, the ubiquitous rural special line, and for ten yuan, they could quickly arrive in Nanyang Town.

Compared to before, I don't know how much faster it has been.

After Dongmei and Wei Guo got off the bus in Nanyang Town, they walked towards the health center.

When he came back this time, Wei Guo did not call his younger brother Baoguo in advance.

Because he was afraid that after making a phone call, his younger brother who was busy would prepare this and that to entertain himself, so it was better to have a blitzkrieg, and after going back to pick up his old mother, he would leave directly, which would be convenient.

The two arrived at the gate of the Nanyang Town Health Center where their younger brother Baoguo worked, and before they entered, they saw Wei Guo's mother wearing a thick cotton jacket, a cane in her hand, and a black headscarf on her head, sitting and chatting with several old women.

Dongmei looked at Wei Guo's mother's dress, and she recalled the scene when she first married Wei Guo.

At that time, Wei Guo's mother seemed to be much younger than her current age, but she was already dressed very old, basically exactly the same as now.

Dongmei shook her head, and said in her heart, the women of that era were really old and decrepit, and they were not very old, so they first dressed themselves up very old-fashioned.

Dongmei also clearly remembers how her mother dressed when she was young.

When my mother was thirty years old, she began to put her hair up all the way back of her head, and then put on a headscarf and a coarse blue cloth, and always dressed like an old woman.

Now, on the other hand, some women have reached the age of 30 and are not even married?

However, when Dongmei's mother was in that era, the age of thirty was already a sign that she had to accept the reality that she was old.

Wei Guo's mother and several old women talked and laughed, but they didn't see Wei Guo and Dongmei come back at all.

It was still a slightly younger old woman next to her, who reminded Wei Guo's mother and said, "Baoguo's mother, your eldest son Wei Guo and his daughter-in-law are back." ”

Wei Guo's mother was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "What nonsense are you talking about, they still called me at noon, why did they come back now, it's too fast." ”

Before Wei Guo's mother finished speaking, Wei Guo approached his mother.

He said, "Mom, it's winter, it's not cold for you to sit here?"

Dongmei said hello to a few old aunts around her, "Mom, it's a cold day, you don't sit in the house to roast the fire, why do you stay outside?"

Wei Guo's mother was stunned when she saw that her eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law had really returned.

She said: "You still called me in the provincial capital at noon, how can you say that you came back, and you came back?"

Dongmei said with a smile: "Now that I live in the provincial capital, it is convenient to take a car, unlike when I was in the Liquan base before, I wanted to go back to my hometown, and I didn't necessarily have a car." ”

Wei Guo also added on the side, saying: "There are a lot of cars from the provincial capital to our county, when to go, when to have it, and there is no need to wait, go with it, it's too convenient." ”

Hearing that it is so convenient to take the car now, Wei Guo's mother said happily: "Oh, the society is really getting better and better, and the times are really getting more and more advanced. ”

Dongmei said with a smile: "That's right, our country is developing so fast, and the infrastructure construction is so good, it will definitely become more and more convenient to travel." ”

Several old ladies next to her praised Wei Guo and Dongmei, and said, "Seventh sister-in-law, your son is a cadre in the end, and he is an official at first glance." ”

"Seventh sister-in-law, your daughter-in-law is so handsome. ”

Wei Guo's mother likes to hear people praise her family the most.

She said happily: "My son is now an engineer, but he has a status in the unit. ”

After praising her son, Wei Guo's mother praised Dongmei again, saying: "My daughter-in-law, I picked a few villages at that time, and only then did I pick a daughter-in-law for my son, can you not be handsome?"

After speaking, Wei Guo laughed.

After laughing, Wei Guo's mother asked Wei Guo and Dongmei in surprise, and said, "Why did you come back at this time, Taotao and Nana?"

Wei Guo said directly: "Mom, we came back to pick you up." ”

Wei Guo twisted his stiff neck and said, "Take me up, where to go?"

Dongmei smiled and said, "We'll take you to live in the provincial capital." ”

Hearing that she was going to the provincial capital, Wei Guo's mother immediately retreated.

She said: "I'm an old woman, I'm used to living in our rural area, and I don't pay attention to hygiene or adapt to heating, so I don't go." ”

Hearing that his mother still didn't go, Wei Guo said: "Mom, we people in Xifu pay attention to filial piety, I just want to take you to the city to enjoy the blessings now, why don't you enjoy the blessings you have?"

The old woman next to her also persuaded Wei Guo's mother, saying: "Yes, seventh sister-in-law, you still follow your son and go to the provincial city to enjoy happiness, we want to go, but we can't give birth yet, what about such a powerful son?"

After speaking, several old women laughed.

Wei Guo's mother thought about it, she said: "There is a pit in the city to go to the toilet?"

Dongmei listened to Wei Guo's mother's worries, she felt funny and said: "Mom, it turns out that you are worried about this, there is no pit in the city, but there is a toilet in the unit in the city, which is very convenient." ”

Hearing the toilet, Wei Guo's mother shook her head, she said: "The toilet thing, I've heard people say, sitting on it, it's painful." ”

Dongmei didn't know how to answer, she said, "When you follow us into the city, if you are not used to the toilet, I will take you out to find a public bathroom." ”

Wei Guo's mother asked curiously: "Is the public toilet squatting?"

Dongmei nodded and said, "Of course it is." ”

Hearing this, Wei Guo's mother dispelled her concerns.

However, she then asked: "Your house is on the fifth floor, and my legs and feet are inconvenient now, and if I go up, I'm afraid I won't be able to get down, and if I come down, I'm afraid I won't be able to go up?"

Facing his mother's concerns, Wei Guo explained: "Mom, now people in the city, who still climbs the stairs, there is an elevator, after sitting in, press the button directly, and it will arrive automatically." ”

Although Wei Guo's mother can't imagine coming to the elevator, she may imagine coming to the ladder.

She thinks that the elevator should be similar to the ladder.

She said, "I'm an old man, I'm afraid I can't fly on a ladder." ”

Wei Guo tried to explain to his mother what the elevator was all about.

finally dispelled the concern of the mother going upstairs, and the mother had new concerns.

She asked Dongmei, "I heard that you people in the city take a bath every day, is it true?"

It turned out that Wei Guo's mother was afraid of taking a bath, so Dongmei hurriedly explained to Wei Guo's mother, saying: "In summer, take a bath once every two or three days, and in winter, you only wash once a week." ”

Hearing that the frequency of bathing was so high, Wei Guo's mother said worriedly: "If I go to the city, do you have to take a bath once a week according to your habits?"

Dongmei laughed and said, "Take a bath, don't force it, whoever likes to wash it, wash it, and if you don't like it, you don't need to wash it." ”

Wei Guo's mother reluctantly asked: "Then after I went to your house, I won't take a bath for a few months, okay?"

Hearing this, Dongmei and Wei Guo looked at each other, then nodded and said, "Okay, why not?"

Hearing this, Wei Guo's mother sighed and said, "I don't take a bath, you won't, you don't like me for being dirty, right?"

Wei Guo and Dongmei shook their heads together and said, "Which son and daughter-in-law would dislike their mother for being dirty, not at all." ”

Hearing this, Wei Guo's mother finally dispelled her biggest concern.

She stood up on crutches and said, "As long as you don't sit on the toilet, as long as you don't climb the stairs, as long as you don't take a bath, then I will follow you to the provincial capital to have a look." ”

Hearing that his mother was finally willing to follow everyone to the provincial capital, Wei Guo and Dongmei looked at each other, and said in their hearts, they knew that their mother was entangled in these three problems, and they should have made it clear to their mother on the phone at that time.
