Listening to Wei Guo's description, Dongmei tried her best to recall the events of her childhood. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

She remembered that at that time, although the clothes she was wearing had no patches and no holes, they were not very good.

On the other hand, Wei Guo, she clearly remembers that she always wears patched clothes, especially the two patches on her buttocks, which are always very conspicuous, so that people can recognize at a glance that the person wearing those pants is Wei Guo.

At first, Dongmei thought that Wei Guo was very poor, so the four of their sisters and brothers were all dressed in tatters.

However, Dongmei learned from her mother that Wei Guo's life was very prosperous, and he was definitely a rich peasant in the village, and his wealth was definitely one of the best in the west of the village.

At that time, Dongmei didn't understand very much, since the country was not poor, why was it so economical?

It wasn't until the two brothers, Weiguo and Baoguo, came out of the countryside that Dongmei knew the long-term vision of Weiguo's parents.

At that time, the people in the village generally did not have money for their children to study.

As a result, the children of peasant families, who failed the college entrance examination once, simply chose to go home to farm because they had no money to continue tutoring.

And when Wei Guo failed the college entrance examination, Wei Guo's mother not only did not give up, but also took out the family's savings and chose to send Wei Guo to the province and a place with a lower college entrance examination score to take the college entrance examination.

Because the score line of Linxing Province is much lower than that of Guanzhong, Wei Guo took the money saved by his mother and went to Linxing Province for a year of tutoring, and he was successfully admitted to Changqing Petroleum School, walked out of the countryside, and got rid of the fate of facing the loess with his back to the sky.

In that era when the acceptance rate of the college entrance examination was extremely low and the score line of the college entrance examination was extremely high, Wei Guo successfully passed the college entrance examination, walked out of the countryside, got rid of the identity of his ancestors who had been farmers for dozens of generations, and became a glorious worker.

It can be said that if there were no frugal life and thrift for the life of Weiguo's parents, in that era of material scarcity and poverty for everyone, Weiguo would not be able to go to school in the first year, and he would definitely give up his studies, give up his dreams, return to the countryside, become a farmer, and farm at home for a lifetime.

Here, we are not belittling the peasants, but in that era, everyone was a farmer, everyone was farming in the village, working hard for a year, and not making a few dollars, if any child can get rid of the fate of farming and go out of the countryside, then it must be a representative of success.

Dongmei can imagine that if Wei Guo had not gone out of the countryside and become a worker, then she must have taken her children and followed Wei Guo to farm in the countryside of her hometown, and it was impossible to provide her children with a heated house, so that the children could receive a better education in the unit, and it would be impossible to have a deposit of 10,000 yuan in the bank, let alone have a TV, a sofa, a coffee table and so on at home like now.

However, there are two sides to everything, and it is precisely because of the thrift of Wei Guo's parents that it led to the formation of Wei Guo's inferiority complex.

Dongmei felt that what Wei Guo said had some truth, in order not to let the child have an inferiority complex, the two decided to be thrifty and economical, and they couldn't save on the child.

So, in the afternoon, Wei Guo and Dongmei took their two children to the county clothing store and bought clothes and shoes for the two children.

They dressed Tao Tao handsomely, and Nana dressed up beautifully.

The two children who put on the new clothes are not only more confident, but also more energetic.

……

Time flies quickly, and with the onset of the cold winter, Dongmei's business is becoming more and more difficult to do.

It is difficult to do business, not only because of the cold weather, but also because of the successive holidays of the logistics units.

The workers rested and rested, and there were fewer and fewer people eating dumplings.

When Wei Guo came back from vacation, Dongmei finally stopped her business.

When she and Sister-in-law Tan closed down, they also made a promise together that they would continue to work hard when the spring of the next year begins.

Every year during the Chinese New Year, Wei Guo and Dongmei have to return home with their children.

This year was no exception, a family of four stepped through the snow and returned to their hometown.

On the evening of the thirtieth night, Wei Guo's mother burned the kang hot, and a family of six sat on the warm kang, which was very comfortable and warm.

After a while, Wei Guo's sister and Wei Guo's sister also made a special trip over after learning the news of Wei Guo's return.

At this time, Wei Guomei already had three children, the eldest was a boy, Guo Peng, the second girl Guo Li, the third boy Guo Yao, plus Wei Guo's brother-in-law Guo Lijun, the team was very large.

Sister Wei Guo also came with two children, the eldest girl Li Yun and the second boy Li Bo.

Wei Guo's younger brother Baoguo, for the sake of reunion, put down the business at hand and came back with his daughter-in-law.

The whole family was reunited, nearly 14 people, and they couldn't sit on the kang, so they lit the honeycomb coal stove on the ground, lit a fire, and sat on the ground.

Wei Guo's mother and Dongmei are in charge of preparing the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

After a while, the two brought fragrant sweet rice, fried peanuts, meat dumplings, steamed buns and other Chinese New Year's Eve rice.

Due to the large number of people, the table on the kang is too small, so only some people can eat and some people chat.

Weiguo's sisters were very envious of Dongmei and Baoguo's daughter-in-law, and envied that they found a husband who ate commercial grain, so that they walked out of the countryside and lived a good life.

And Dongmei and Baoguo's daughter-in-law will always respond to them symbolically, saying that although they are both married to commercial grains, but the two commercial grains are not tall, and they are not outstanding in appearance, where is the husband married by Sister Weiguo and Sister Weiguo, who is tall, has a good figure, and is handsome and chic, which is definitely incomparable between Weiguo and Baoguo.

And a group of children are playing together, and it's not fun.

Among the children, Li Yun is the oldest, and she always plays the role of a big sister and takes care of everyone.

And Li Bo is the tallest and strongest boy in it, and he always plays the role of regulating the relationship between several boys.

Among them, Li Bo, Tao Tao, Nana, and Guo Yao are all extroverted, while Guo Peng and Guo Li are introverted, don't like to talk, and always listen silently.

In the chat, although everyone spoke the dialect of his hometown, Tao Tao gradually found that he and these cousins, cousins, cousins, and cousins in his hometown had no common language at all.

Tao Tao talked to them about cartoons and TV series, which they hadn't watched, and talked about table tennis and football, which they hadn't played.

And the cousins and cousins talked to Taotao about how to farm, how to water, how to fertilize, and Taotao couldn't understand.

And Nana also found that she couldn't talk to Guo Li, who was her age, at all, let alone find a topic that she could talk about.

Adults are different, they reminisce about things when they were children, talk about stories before they got married, and they can't keep their mouths together.

Wei Guo's mother and Wei Guo's father sat on the kang corner, watching their children and grandchildren full of people, very happy and satisfied.

Wei Guo's mother and Wei Guo's father are not only short and timid, but also the most honest and easy to bully in the village.

But in the whole village, and they were the only ones, who sent both sons to the ivory tower.

And the two sons are also mixed well, one is a doctor who treats diseases and saves people, and the other is an oil drilling engineer.

Although they are not wealthy, they are a model of success among their peers in the village.

Moreover, the old couple also has something to be proud of, that is, they married beautiful daughters-in-law to their two sons who are not tall and not very good on the outside.

Dongmei is 1.66 meters tall, not only has white skin, but also has a good figure.

Although the daughter-in-law of Baoguo is not as tall as Dongmei, nor is she as white as Dongmei, she is very smart, and she is also the most beautiful daughter-in-law in this ten miles and eight villages.

And the two girls of the old couple, although they did not pass the entrance examination and went out of the countryside, they can be regarded as having found their true destiny.

The old couple and their grandchildren are together, enjoying the joy of family and being very happy.

Wei Guo's mother looked at Wei Guo's father happily and said: "We have worked hard all our lives, and we are all about to enter the ground, and when we see the children and grandchildren, they are all happy, and we are also content." “

Wei Guo's father was also very happy, he nodded with satisfaction and said: "As long as the children and grandchildren are happy, we don't care, the task is completed." “

Wei Guo's mother looked at Wei Guo and Bao Guo proudly, and said to Wei Guo's father: "When you were young, you worked in the Agricultural Research Society, who would have thought that your sons would become doctors and engineers in the future, I really didn't expect it." “

Wei Guo's father said with a smile: "It's all good for the country and good for the society, if the college entrance examination is not resumed, if there is no reform and opening up, if there is no party leadership, where would we have such a good life." “

Wei Guo's mother said: "Yes, in our era, we couldn't eat enough after working every day, but now people have less labor, and they can still have enough food and clothing, and the society is indeed getting better and better, and it is getting more and more progressive." “

Wei Guo's father said: "Since the package delivery arrived at the household, life has been getting better and better day by day. “

While the old couple was happy, Weiguo's mother set her sights on Baoguo and Baoguo's daughter-in-law.

Suddenly she began to worry again, she looked at Wei Guo's father and said: "We have a total of four children, two boys and two girls, and now all three children have children, but Baoguo has no children, I am really worried, when will he have a child?"

Wei Guo's father comforted Wei Guo's mother and said: "When Baoguo doesn't have a girlfriend, you are worried, after Baoguo has a girlfriend, when you are not married, you are worried again, now that Baoguo is married, you are still worried, I said don't worry, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, Baoguo will have children sooner or later, and when the time comes, you will take care of the children." “

Wei Guo's mother sighed and said, "I hope so." “

With the arrival of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Weiguo also began to give red envelopes to children.

He took out the new money he had prepared in advance from his pocket and gave the children New Year's money.

When Guo Peng, Guo Li, and Guo Yao, the three siblings, got a dollar from Wei Guo's New Year's money, they all shouted happily, the New Year's money sent to them by their parents was only five cents, and the New Year's money sent to him by their uncle turned out to be one dollar.

They happily folded the money and hid it in their pockets.

And when Taotao and Nana saw that their father gave them a dollar, they couldn't look at it at all, they felt that it was already the New Year, and they still sent such a little money, it was really too little, how to drop it, they had to send a red envelope of five or ten yuan like their classmates in the class.

After Wei Guo sent the money, Bao Guo took out the money again and continued to distribute it to the children.

Baoguo is the same as Weiguo's, it is still one dollar.

When it was Guo Lijun's turn to distribute the money, he embarrassedly took out a five-cent note and handed it out to the children.

When Taotao received the five wool threads, he reluctantly said: "Uncle, why did you send five cents, so little, too little." “

Guo Lijun was very embarrassed, he said with an embarrassed expression: "Your father is a worker and earns wages, while your uncle is a farmer and grows grain for money, and my uncle has no money, so I can only give you five cents of New Year's money." “

Hearing this, Tao Tao suddenly understood the difference between workers and peasants.

In fact, in Taotao's young heart, he always felt that there was no specific difference between his father and his relatives in his hometown, they all said the same thing and ate the same meal.

But today, he realized that his father was really different from them.

However, what makes them different, is it studying, is the college entrance examination......

At this time, Tao Tao really realized the importance of learning.
