After Wei Guo came back, he quickly joined the ranks of Dongmei selling rice, and with Wei Guo's right-hand man, Dongmei was obviously not as tired as before. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, the good days were short-lived, and as the Chinese New Year approached, the unit's winter break began.

With the beginning of the winter break, the holidays of the units, the rest of the personnel, and soon the entire farmers' market was depressed.

As in previous years, as the workers rested, the people who did business in this farmer's market also slowly began to rest.

Dongmei and Tan's sister-in-law were among the last few vendors to evacuate the farmer's market.

After a year of busy work in the farmers' market, everyone has gained a lot, especially Dongmei and Sister-in-law Tan, two big farmers in the farmers' market, who have made a lot of money.

During the golden time of the farmers' market, Dongmei and Sister-in-law Tan basically earned about 300 yuan a day, nearly 10,000 yuan a month.

Dongmei and Sister-in-law Tan were happy, but they also quietly kept this secret, and did not dare to tell their income.

In that era when ordinary workers could only earn five or six hundred a month, Dongmei and Sister-in-law Tan had completely counterattacked.

It can even be said that they can earn a worker's salary for a month in two days.

With the guarantee of income, Dongmei and Sister-in-law Tan's bank deposits have gradually increased.

Although both women made a lot of money, they did not dare to spend a penny.

On the last day of the farmer's market, after Dongmei and Sister-in-law Tan finished selling their last meal, the two looked at each other and smiled, and began to pack up their things, ready to start the long winter break.

Sister-in-law Tan looked at Dongmei and said jokingly: "Dongmei, this year, the income is good." ”

Dongmei and Sister-in-law Tan do business next to each other and know each other's income very well.

Dongmei was not modest, she said: "It's really good, much better than when we were selling dumplings on the south side of the Brocade Building." ”

Sister-in-law Tan smiled heartily and said, "Since you have made so much money, you don't want to take your husband and children out for a trip." ”

As everyone's economic conditions are getting better and better, the new term tourism has begun to appear among everyone and has become popular.

Moreover, some people who have become wealthy first have begun to travel.

After Dongmei packed up her things, she put them where they should be, waiting for Wei Guo to come and move them.

She said to Tan's sister-in-law: "Although the income is good, I plan to save all this money, part of which will be used for the tuition fees of Taotao and Nana to go to college in the future, and part of it will be used for Taotao to marry a daughter-in-law in the future......"

Sister-in-law Tan listened to Dongmei's distribution of money, admired Dongmei very much, and said: "Your plan is really long-term, I don't have as much as you think, I am going to take this money and take my three children back to my hometown, and then go to the nearby big city, Chongqing City to play around, take the children to eat delicious food, play fun, and look good......"

Sister-in-law Tan lost her husband when she was young, so she always felt that her children were much more pitiful than other people's children, so one of the main motivations for Sister-in-law Tan's hard work was to make up for what was missing in the children, so that the children could understand that although they did not have a father, they could still live a good life by relying on their mother's struggle.

Dongmei praised Sister-in-law Tan and said, "Yes, taking advantage of the winter break, it's time for us to go out and have a good time." ”

Sister-in-law Tan said: "Yes, then you can also take the children out to have a good time." ”

Dongmei said: "I want to take the children out to play, in fact, it doesn't cost much to play around, but Wei Guo doesn't agree, he always thinks that all this money should be saved, in case Nana can't be admitted to college in the future, we are also ready to pay for her to go to self-funded college!"

Sister-in-law Tan said: "Dongmei, don't think so much, your two children are studying very well, Taotao and Nana will definitely be admitted to a public-funded university." ”

At that time, because university enrollment had not yet been liberalized, it was generally difficult to get into universities.

With the development of the times and the beginning of the expansion of university enrollment, by the time Taotao and Nana took the college entrance examination, the university enrollment had been liberalized, and the era of thousands of troops crossing the single-plank bridge had ended.

Dongmei and Sister-in-law Tan's children are very competitive, Taotao was admitted to a second-class university and studied English, and Nana was admitted to a key university and studied computer science.

And Sister-in-law Tan's two children are both admitted to key universities, and they are both one, one is finance, and the other is environmental protection.

And Dongmei and Sister-in-law Tan used the money they saved from selling rice to easily provide for the children to finish college.

……

The days of the winter break are relaxing and at the same time pleasant.

Before Dongmei and Weiguo returned to their hometown, they were going to gather all Dongmei's good sisters, invite everyone to have a big meal in the restaurant, and at the same time get together.

After all, among the several good sisters, Dongmei's business is the largest, and she makes the most money.

Dongmei thinks that life should be given and gained, and since she has got it, she should take out a part and share it with everyone.

Although it is not much, it can make everyone happy, in order to thank a few good sisters for their strong support at the beginning of their own business.

Dongmei and Wei Guo set up the dinner in a restaurant at the entrance of the base.

To tell the truth, this is still the first time that Dongmei and Weiguo have moved to drill a base yard for so long, and they invite everyone to eat in the restaurant.

And when several good sisters heard that Dongmei and Weiguo were going to invite everyone to dinner, they expressed their incredulity.

They thought to themselves, how could such a thrifty and thrifty couple be willing to invite everyone to dinner today, and they went to the restaurant?

Under normal circumstances, according to the routine of Dongmei and Weiguo, even if you invite everyone to dinner, then you will do it yourself at home, after all, it will save a lot of money.

Since the winter break, everyone is at home.

Under the kind invitation of Dongmei, everyone came one after another.

Hongxia and Li Jianjun brought their two daughters, Li Jing and Li Mao came first.

Wang Chaoying and Wang Xue'e took their two sons, Wang Peng and Wang Tao, and walked slowly on the road.

Song Nian's daughter-in-law and Song Nian took their two daughters, Song Na and Song Jing, called their sister Lianhong and brother-in-law, as well as one of their daughters, Tan Yuqin, and walked towards the bottom of the big slope in the courtyard of the base.

In the restaurant, when the boss heard that five families and nineteen people would have dinner together in his restaurant, he was very happy.

The boss deliberately put together a few small tables in the hotel into a large table, gathered all the chairs with backrests, and prepared them for Dongmei.

At that time, in the remote Loess Plateau, there were no private rooms in the restaurant, so everyone could only sit in the hall.

After a while, everyone arrived.

When five families, nineteen people gathered, the scene was very grand.

Although Dongmei was not strong enough to drink, she still picked up a beer with Wei Guo and welcomed everyone over for dinner.

Adults drank beer, while children drank Coke, Sprite, Jianlibao, Huiyuan juice and other drinks.

Dongmei raised her glass and said: "It's almost the New Year, I wish you all a happy New Year, and then thank you all for coming......"

Although Dongmei has been in the city for many years, she has never changed her native accent and speaks in dialect.

Although Dongmei doesn't speak Mandarin, her words and sentences are very written.

Li Jianjun listened to what Dongmei said, he was very educated, he stood up unconvinced and said: "Dongmei, you are a family member, you speak at such a high level, you don't see it." ”

Hongxia said to Li Jianjun next to her: "Dongmei is a high school student, and she is much more knowledgeable than you, a person with a primary school education level." ”

Li Jianjun was very embarrassed when he heard Hongxia expose his cultural level in person.

He blushed and said, "It seems that in this table where I am sitting, my Li Jianjun's cultural level is the lowest." ”

Dongmei joked: "The children have not graduated from primary school, and you are not the least educated." ”

Hearing this, everyone at the table laughed, and everyone turned their eyes to Dongmei, but they didn't expect that she still had a humorous side.

Although everyone is sitting at the same table, although everyone has known each other since they were young, and although everyone has been living in the unit for almost 20 years, everyone's accent has not changed.

Throughout the table, in addition to the children who are speaking Mandarin, the adults are speaking the dialect of their hometown.

Dongmei and Weiguo speak the Guanzhong dialect, Hongxia and Li Jianjun speak the Huining dialect, Wang Chaoying and Wang Xue'e speak the Dingxi dialect, Song Nian's daughter-in-law and Song Nian speak the Zhenyuan dialect, and Lianhong and Tan Jun speak the Zhenyuan dialect and the other speak the Zhejiang dialect.

Although everyone's dialect is very different from each other, and the accents are ever-changing, because everyone has been together for a long time, they can understand each other's words.

But Tan Jun, he speaks the southern dialect, and there are too many tones, and the only person who can understand it is Lianhong.
