Chapter 12: A False Alarm
After waiting for a long time and not seeing the appearance of Wei Guo, drowsiness hit, Dongmei decided to close her eyes and wait, but she never thought that it would be dawn as soon as her eyes were closed and opened. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
She was busy rubbing her eyes, and when she saw it, Wei Guo was snoring and sleeping comfortably next to her.
During the day, I was going to ask Wei Guo where he went in the middle of the night, but Wei Guo was busy with work, and he always went out early and returned late, even after coming back at night, after washing, he was tired and lay down on his clothes and fell asleep, and he didn't have time to ask.
That night, Dongmei got up at night, only to find that Weiguo was missing again.
Dongmei thought that Weiguo must have gotten up at night like herself, but when she came back from the toilet, she didn't see Weiguo come back, she lay on the bed and didn't speak, quietly waiting for Weiguo's return.
In the second half of the night, the door creaked open, and she saw Wei Guo coming in from the door in neat overalls, and then slowly closed the door, took off his clothes, and walked down, during which Wei Guo looked at Dongmei but didn't say a word.
Dongmei judged that Weiguo might be sleepwalking, but she couldn't be too sure, so Dongmei decided to continue observing on the third night.
In the middle of the night, she woke up early, waiting for Wei Guo's awakening, and sure enough, in the second half of the night, Wei Guo slowly got up from the bed, got dressed, opened the door and went out, and returned to the house for an hour, exactly the same as yesterday's actions.
The next afternoon, Wei Guo came back from the well and brought Dongmei a few pieces of mung bean cake brought back by the workers.
Dongmei was lying on the bed eating mung bean cake and drinking hot boiled water.
Wei Guo sat at the table, eating mung bean cakes, and reading Jin Yong's novel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
Dongmei wanted to talk to Wei Guo, but Wei Guo was fascinated by the martial arts and didn't want to talk to Dong Mei, so he casually agreed to her words.
Dongmei dipped the mung bean cake in some water and put it in her mouth to eat, which was softer and more delicious, and it was not choking, she said while eating: "Weiguo, do you know if you go out in the middle of the night?"
Wei Guo saw that in the condor shooting, Guo Jing and Huang Rong broke into Peach Blossom Island, it was really wonderful, and he had no time to take care of Dongmei, so he said casually: "En." ”
Dongmei sat up from the bed and said, "You said yes, do you know, or don't you know that you went out in the middle of the night." ”
Wei Guo was fascinated by reading books, as if he was in the martial arts world, and casually replied to Dongmei: "I don't know." ”
Dongmei heard Wei Guo's sentence that she didn't know how to go out in the middle of the night, her heart was cold, she put the mung bean cake aside, she was not in the mood to eat, and she lay down on the bed, thinking that this can be done, sleepwalking is an incurable disease, and it is generally not curable, if he goes out in the middle of the night, what can he do, Dongmei is extremely depressed.
Wei Guo read the book and saw that it was very late, and Dongmei was already in bed and was about to fall asleep.
Although Wei Guo slept late, he slept much faster than Dongmei, and after a while, he snored.
Dongmei has to brew for a while before she can slowly fall asleep.
What Dongmei admires most about Weiguo is his sleeping speed, if you use one word to describe Weiguo's sleeping speed, it is not the word "god speed" to describe it.
In the middle of the night, Dongmei, who was sleeping very lightly, was suddenly woken up by a "creaking" sound of opening the door.
She hurriedly opened her eyes, and saw Wei Guo wearing overalls in a daze, pushing open the door and walking out.
Dongmei was used to it, she didn't care, she continued to sleep, she didn't want to fall asleep just now, the door "creaked" again, Wei Guo came in in his overalls, and said to herself: "It's good that there is no accident." ”
Dongmei was stunned for a moment, and said in her heart Good guy, Wei Guo not only sleepwalked but also began to talk in her sleep, she couldn't help but sit up from the bed, and then stared at Wei Guo's every move.
Wei Guo saw Dongmei sit up from the bed, he was stunned for a moment, then ignored it, and continued to undress and sleep.
When he finished taking off his clothes, he had already gotten into the quilt and found that Dongmei was still sitting on the bed looking at him.
It turned out that Wei Guo was not sleepwalking, drilling operations were 24 hours a day of work in three shifts, as a technician Wei Guo was responsible for 24 hours, because of his small heart, he was not at ease with the production of the well, so every day in the middle of the night, he had to get up and go to the well to go around, to see if the production on the well was good, there was an accident to deal with the accident, and if there was no accident, he would come back on the spot.
However, Dongmei thought she was sleepwalking, so she sat on the bed and looked intently at Wei Guo, who was already lying on the bed.
At this time, Wei Guo Yi Ran discovered Dong Mei's strange behavior, but Wei Guo thought that Dong Mei was sleepwalking, sat up for no reason, and looked at himself without speaking.
Dongmei looked at Wei Guo, whose eyes were rolling in her eyes, and thought to herself, how could Wei Guo sleepwalk tonight be different from before, and was thinking about it, when she suddenly heard Wei Guo say to her: "Neurotic, what are you doing without sleeping in the middle of the night, sleepwalking?"
Dongmei was startled, and said in her heart that it was Wei Guo sleepwalking or intelligent sleepwalking, and she was anti-sleepwalking, and asked herself, but the sleepwalking person couldn't disturb him to wake up, otherwise it would scare the sleepwalking person to death, so Dongmei quickly lay down, plunged into the quilt, closed her eyes and didn't dare to speak.
At this time, Wei Guo suddenly hugged her from behind, and then whispered: "Sleep, sleep, my dear baby, I know that I sleep, and the stars also sleep?????" winter
Mei was startled, and a voice came out of her mouth and said, "Oh my God, sleepwalking can still sing lullaby." ”
When Wei Guo heard this, he pushed Dongmei and said, "Neurotic, you are sleepwalking." ”
Dongmei sat up again, overjoyed, looked at Wei Guo and said, "It turns out that you didn't sleepwalk today, thank God, it really scared me to death, I thought you were sleepwalking to the point of hopelessness." Heaven bless!"
After speaking, Dongmei actually put her hands together and began to worship the Buddha.
After listening to Wei Guo explain the ins and outs to her clearly, Dong Mei knew that there was a false alarm and scolded Wei Guo for being a big villain.
Wei Guo took advantage of the situation and hugged Dongmei and said, "I'm just a big villain." After saying that, he hugged Dongmei tighter.
Life in the drilling team is very boring, except for the company of Wei Guo after work, Dongmei spends the rest of her time in loneliness and loneliness.
One day, bored in the nest, Dongmei suddenly remembered Wang Xue'e, who was chatting with her in Urumqi, of the same age, all of them were family members of workers, from the countryside, and they had just gotten married, and they still had more common languages with each other, so Dongmei stepped out of the door and walked around the entire family area.
The family area is actually a group of nests lined up in rows, bunches of dwarf, and shabby decorations, which from a distance look like a bunker used for war.
With the psychology of luck, I circled around the entire nest group twice, but I still didn't meet Wang Xue'e.
Just as Dongmei was about to get up and go back to her house to continue reading the novel, Dongmei clearly heard the sound of splashing water not far behind.
Since there is no drainage facility in the nest, all used water is poured directly on the land at the door.
Dongmei stopped, turned around, and saw that it was Wang Xue'e who was splashing water, and she almost screamed out in surprise, because in this vast land, she knew only one friend, and that was Wang Xue'e.
After Wang Xue'e saw that it was Dongmei, she was also excited, and hurriedly beckoned her into the room to sit, and poured her a cup of hot boiled water. (Back then, entertaining guests wasn't like what beer is now.) )
Dongmei, who walked into the nest, saw that in addition to Wang Xue'e, there were several other family members in the house.
They sat on the bed, munching on melon seeds and chatting happily. Wang Xue'e hurriedly introduced: "This is Dongmei, I told you, I haven't been able to touch it, and I finally met it today." ”
Then he introduced Dongmei and said: "The three of them are all members of our township party, her name is Liu Hongxia, her name is Li Guilan, her name is Guo Lanying, just like us, they are all family members and have no jobs." ”
The word family suddenly narrowed the distance between each other, and the five women sat on the small wire bed, and the east family and the west family chatted briefly.
Of course, the most intriguing topic is how women get together with their men.
Liu Hongxia said that she loves to sing, especially the most popular Qin dialect in the local area, and his man loves to listen to the Qin dialect the most.
Once, she inadvertently sang a song on the stage of the troupe with the role of Tsing Yi, just when his man came back from Xinjiang to visit relatives, he accidentally heard her singing below, and thought it was very good.
In addition, he came back this time to ask for a daughter-in-law, so he asked someone to introduce him, and that's it.
And Li Guilan's way of knowing her man is even more legendary.
Li Guilan's parents died early, she was the eldest in the family, and there were four younger siblings at the bottom, and she relied on her to work alone in the fields to pull them.
Her man came back from the Xinjiang drilling team to ask for a daughter-in-law, and asked for a matchmaker.
The matchmaker was very kind, because she felt sorry for Li Guilan who was lonely, so she went to tell Li Guilan about this family affair and asked her to meet this man to see if it could be done.
Li Guilan's parents died early, Li Guilan didn't even have shoes to wear, she was an eighteen-year-old girl, and she walked barefoot all day long, and in winter, the only pair of cotton shoes was also tattered.
In order to meet his man, she cried and asked a neighbor to borrow a pair of intact cotton shoes and go on a blind date.
To her surprise, her man fell in love with her at first sight.
After they got married, with the help of her husband, her younger siblings were able to eat and study, this time she came to Xinjiang for only a few months, and once she became pregnant, she went back to her hometown, not only to give birth, but also to continue to take care of her younger siblings.
And Guo Lanying has a lot of unspeakable secrets, her family is poor and lives in the mountains of Tianshui. His man is slightly lower in IQ than others, when she first went on a blind date, Guo Lanying didn't take long to discover this problem, but under the persuasion of her parents and matchmakers, in order to get out of the countryside, eat commercial grain, and live a good life, she still chose to marry this man.
With the company of several "like-minded" sisters, Dongmei felt that life was much better all of a sudden, and she put down half of the book that Wei Guo took home.
Every day, several family members go for a walk on the Gobi Desert, take a ride in the desert, and occasionally go back to the local Uyghur villager's house to buy some raisins to eat.
When she went to the well site, she found that in addition to the male workers running up and down the drill floor, there were also a few geologists, all of whom were women, whose job was to go under the vibration plug on the mud pool to get sand and do laboratory tests.
Dongmei looked at those female workers enviously, and felt that they were different from herself, they had jobs and were workers, they were commodity food, and they were a class higher than their own status, how amazing they were, and they could be on an equal footing with men.
At the same time, she fantasized about how proud she would be if one day she would have a formal job and become a commercial grain account.
However, she knows that fantasy is fantasy after all, if she wants to become commercial grain, she first has to buy an urban hukou, but a hukou is so expensive, how can she buy it as a farmer, even her husband who works can't afford it!
finally adapted to the life of the Karamay drilling team, and just when Dongmei was about to start enjoying this good time and going out to have enough, she was depressed to find out that she was pregnant.
