After the New Year, Dongmei Weiguo's family of four took Dongmei's mother to the family compound of the diamond base. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When Dongmei's mother was young, she followed Dongmei's father and went to Guizhou, Qinghai, and Tibet.

But since he was in his twenties, he returned to the countryside and never went to the city again.

This time I came to northern Shaanxi, which was the first time that Dongmei's mother had gone far away for so many years, so she was very excited and full of curiosity along the way.

However, as soon as she entered northern Shaanxi, the desolation and barrenness along the way still deeply shocked Dongmei's mother.

The Loess Plateau, compared with the 800-mile Qinchuan River in Guanzhong, is completely two concepts.

The thousands of ravines in northern Shaanxi, the Pingchuan in Guanzhong, the cold in northern Shaanxi, the warmth in Guanzhong, the plateau in northern Shaanxi, and the plains in Guanzhong......

As the bus went all the way north, Dongmei's mother's mood gradually changed from excitement to depression, from hope to disappointment.

She never dreamed that the natural environment where her daughter and son-in-law lived would be so harsh, even half of the rural areas in Guanzhong.

Dongmei's mother looked at the terraced fields cultivated all over the mountains and the bare mountains that had been cut down, and couldn't help but sigh, this place, not only the temperature is low, but also the crops cannot be irrigated, how can the crops be harvested?

Dongmei told her mother that although wheat could not be grown here, millet, sorghum and potatoes could be grown......

In addition, although it is barren and barren, there are resources underground, such as oil, coal, natural gas, etc.

The long-distance bus ran for a whole day, and finally when it was dark, the family arrived at the family home of the base.

Dongmei's mother got out of the car, looked at the yard of the base in front of her, and sighed: "It turns out that the city you said lives here."

Dongmei carried the corn and apples that Chunmei brought for herself, walked in front of her and said, "Yes, we have lived here for almost five years. “

Dongmei's mother led the two children in the back and said, "Here, there is no Xinjiang and Longdong where you lived before, right?"

Wei Guo carried the flour and chili noodles that his eldest sister brought him, and said: "It's been almost ten years since I came out of my hometown, and this drill base is the best place I and Dongmei have ever lived." “

Hearing this, Dongmei's mother said incredulously: "This place, with mountains in front and mountains behind, is it the best place you have ever lived, isn't there a place like our Guanzhong, which is endless and flat?"

Wei Guo said with a smile: "When I was in Xinjiang, the place where I lived was very flat, but it was the Gobi Desert, not only could I not see any green, but I could not see any life, so it was better here." “

Dongmei said next to her: "This place is called Chuandao, which is a relatively flat place washed out by a river from the middle of two mountains, and this base family courtyard is built by the mountains and survives by the river. “

Dongmei's mother shook her head, climbed the big slope in front of her, and said tiredly: "It's really not easy, your unit, it's really not easy to build the base in such a barren and desolate place." “

After climbing the slope and officially entering the base, Dongmei's mother suddenly had a feeling of paradise, she said: "Your unit is well built, here, there are some high-rise buildings, you see the street lights are on, the chimney is high, the water tower is big, and even the garbage can is ......brand new."

Soon, a family of five arrived at Dongmei Weiguo, where the cadre building was located.

Dongmei's mother could see the difference between the cadre building and the next few buildings at a glance, and she said curiously: "Why, this building is newer and bigger than the building next to it?"

Dongmei explained: "This building is a cadre building, and the building next to it is a Brocade building and a general building, of course, there is no cadre building. “

Hearing this, Dongmei's mother gave Wei Guo a thumbs up and said: "Wei Guo is really capable, so young, let you and your children live in the cadre building, it's amazing." “

After entering the house, Dongmei's mother sighed even more, Dongmei's home is simply too good, too luxurious, not only warm as spring, but also a balcony and bathroom, and the most important thing is that the house is very clean, almost to the point of spotlessness.

When she walked in, she was reluctant to get down.

Dongmei's mother has never sat on the sofa, she sat on the sofa, was flashed, and hurriedly stood up and said, "Why are the stools in your city so soft, I almost fell in." “

Dongmei explained to her mother that it was a sofa, soft and comfortable, and she could sit for a long time, unlike a bench, which hurt her butt after sitting for a long time.

Dongmei's mother walked into the bathroom, looked at the toilet in surprise, and said, "When you people in the city go to the toilet, they all sit on it, don't you squat to go to the toilet?"

Dongmei said: "In ordinary buildings and office buildings, there are toilets, and only the cadre building is a toilet. “

Dongmei's mother looked at the clean and white toilet, she was shocked, she didn't expect that in the city, even the toilet place was so clean, it really made people dare not even go to the toilet.

After observing the toilet, Dongmei's mother focused her attention on the bathtub and bathtub again.

Dongmei's mother simply sat directly in the bathtub, she felt that it could be used as a bed to sleep.

She looked at the shower overhead again, and said to Dongmei guessingly: "Dongmei, you city people will really enjoy it, while taking a bath, while sleeping in this big tank." “

Dongmei almost laughed and said: "Don't shower, this bathtub is used for bathing, first adjust the hot and cold water, fill the bathtub, and then lie in it to take a bath, and wait for the mud on the body, soak almost, and then fall down." “

Hearing this, Dongmei's mother suddenly realized, after she came out of the bathtub, she said: "No wonder you people in the city take a bath every day, or the conditions allow, there is heating in this house, there is a bathtub in the bathroom, and taking a bath is a kind of enjoyment for you, but in the countryside, in winter, not only do you have to boil water by yourself, but also have no place to keep warm, take a bath, it's just a crime, so there are few people taking a bath, and everyone is dirty." “

Dongmei put bath water for her mother and said, "Mom, if you are not tired, tonight, take a bath and feel comfortable." “

Dongmei's mother hurriedly shook her head and said, "I've been almost a year, and I haven't taken a bath, so you should wash it first, if I wash it first, and wash this tank of water dirty, how can you use it?"

Hearing this, Dongmei smiled and explained to her mother: "The water in this bathtub is not used repeatedly, we wash a person, just put a tank of water, and when we are done, we put the water away, put hot water and cold water, and wash the next one." “

Hearing that there was a good pot of hot water and only one person was washed, Dongmei's mother stared at her eyes and said, "It's a pity that such a large tank of hot water only washes one person and is poured out for nothing, right?"

Dongmei said: "That's not it, otherwise, the bath water is used repeatedly, how dirty it is." “

Dongmei's mother shook her head and said: "You still have a lot of hot water here, in the countryside, it is not easy to boil a pot of hot water, when everyone washes their faces in the morning, one person washes it, and the other person washes it again, until the water is cold." “

After Dongmei put the hot water for her mother, she felt the temperature of the water and said: "After all, the countryside is inconvenient, if you are in the city, a tank of bath water and repeated use will not only be unhygienic, but also will be laughed at by people." “

After settling down, Dongmei and Weiguo completely vacated Taotao's house, and let Dongmei's mother live in Taotao's house, and Taotao was arranged to live on the balcony.

Although there is not much space in the balcony, it is as warm as the inside of the house, and there is nothing inconvenient for Taotao.

Dongmei's mother, like Dongmei, is a very quick person, she divided five by two, and cleaned up her new room.

However, in the face of clean sheets and quilts, Dongmei's mother couldn't bear to sleep like this, so she offered to take a bath.

Dongmei was very happy when she heard that her mother was going to take a bath, and after taking her mother into the bathroom, she helped her mother take a comfortable bath.

After taking a bath, Dongmei's mother felt relaxed, comfortable, and a feeling of contentment.

Dongmei wiped her mother's face with oil and said, "Mom, how do you feel, are you comfortable?"

Dongmei's mother drank a whole glass of water, wiped her wet hair with a white towel and said: "Oh, I have never taken such a comfortable bath, before you said, you people in the city take a bath every day, I still don't believe it, my heart said, take a bath every day, how troublesome and tiring it should be, now, I know, this bath is not a sin at all, but a kind of enjoyment." “

After speaking, Dongmei's mother smiled happily.

Dongmei saw that her mother was very kind and enjoyed it very much, she said: "Mom, I will bathe you every day in the future, rub your back, and rub your shoulders......"

Dongmei's mother hurriedly waved her hand and said: "The reason why you asked me to bathe me today is that I won't use these foreign things in your house, now, I have learned to use them all, and I will wash them myself in the future, if I let you wash them for me every day, it won't bother you." “

Dongmei looked at her mother and said with a smile: "In ancient times, Wang Xiang begged for carp, and now I'm giving my mother a bath, it's nothing!"

The mother looked at her filial daughter and said happily: "If only your brother had half of your filial piety, it would be fine, he should really be like your sister and study hard." “

Dongmei said for her younger brother: "The militarization is not yet thirty now, too young, wait for two more years, know the hardships of life and the difficulty of life, and naturally be filial." “

Dongmei's mother said, "I hope so." “

After Dongmei wiped the oil on her mother, she wiped her mother's hair clean.

Then, she squatted down again, looked at the crack on her mother's heel, took a very oily oil from the side, rubbed oil on her mother's foot, and said, "Mom, what's wrong with your feet, why are they all cracked, does it hurt?"

Dongmei's mother laughed and said: "Crop people, working in the field every day, it is inevitable that the soil will get into the shoes, and the number of times you wash your feet is small, and it is normal for your feet to crack." “

Dongmei shook her head and said, "Mom, in the future, don't wear cloth shoes, I'll buy you a pair of travel shoes, and your feet won't crack."

Dongmei's mother has heard of cloth shoes, leather shoes, sandals, and slippers, but she has never heard of travel shoes.

She wondered: "Travel shoes, do you have to go out to travel when you wear those shoes?"

Hearing this, Dongmei laughed and said: "Tourist shoes are a kind of shoes that have only emerged in recent years, which are not only warm and comfortable to wear, but also do not grind their feet and can walk long roads." “

Dongmei's mother asked, "How much is a pair of travel shoes?"

Dongmei said: "More than a hundred yuan." “

Hearing that a pair of shoes would cost more than 100 yuan, Dongmei's mother was frightened and said: "A pair of shoes, let's eat food for half a year, who is not stupid, wear such expensive shoes, don't buy them for me, I won't wear them if I am killed, I still wear my old cloth shoes." “

Dongmei shook her head, and after rubbing oil on her mother's feet, she helped her mother cut her toenails.

She saw that the toenails on her mother's feet were very long, so she took the nail clippers and said as she cut them, "Mom, the nails on your feet are so long, you don't cut them." “

Dongmei's mother looked at Dongmei kindly and said, "When I'm old, not only can I see clearly with my eyes, but even my arms are so hard that I can't reach my toenails, so I won't cut them." “

Hearing this, Dongmei carefully cut her mother's toenails and said, "How can you do it without cutting your toenails, how can you bear the uncomfortable?"

Dongmei's mother said: "I haven't cut it for a few years, just wait for the toenail to grow to a certain point, and as I walk, it will break by itself."

Dongmei dripped, cold sweat dripped from her head, and she said: "That person is still unbearable to death, you can't cut it, can't the military help you cut it?"

When it comes to Brother Dongmei, Dongmei's mother shook her head like a rattle, and said: "Don't mention it, my daughter-in-law is becoming more and more disagreeable, and he is becoming more and more disagreeable, don't say that I will cut my toenails, I just asked him to get me something, and he will stare at me with his eyes."

Hearing her brother's bad deeds, Dongmei said angrily: "He should not be filial to the old man, and when he is old, wait for Yin Qing and Yin Gang to be filial to him." “

Dongmei's mother didn't speak, just sighed helplessly.

Dongmei looked at her mother's disappointed look, she said: "All children are filial to their parents, so when they are old, their children can be filial to themselves, and those who are not filial to their parents, children will also learn to be unfilial to their parents, if a person is not filial to his parents, what responsibility can he expect him to have, what responsibilities can he have?"

Dongmei's mother stroked Dongmei's head, looked at Dongmei with love in her eyes and said, "Dongmei, you not only have to be so filial to my mother, but you also have to be so filial to your parents." “

Hearing this, Dongmei was stunned for a moment, and vaguely felt in her heart that she didn't seem to have a way to be as filial to her parents as she was to her parents.

After thinking about it, Dongmei told herself in her heart that although Wei Guo's mother, when she was young, she was very bad and bad to herself, and even she was angry in front of her.

However, after all, it was almost 20 years ago, and now Wei Guo's mother is also old, and has changed from a very strong woman to a weak old man, should she let go of her previous grievances and start over to the old man?

Try it, if you can be good to her, then you can be as good as your own mother to Wei Guo's mother.

Dongmei's mother saw Dongmei nodded, and she said happily: "As a daughter-in-law, only if you are good to your father-in-law and mother-in-law, can you be happy in the future, and you can spend your old age in peace in the future, and you can have children and grand......children in the future."

Dongmei listened to her mother's words and nodded silently.

And Wei Guo, who was standing next to him, looked at the scene in front of him, and thought to himself, when his father can come to the house, and he can be like Dongmei, do his filial piety to his father for a while, help him take a bath, shave him, and cut his toenails, what a beautiful thing it will be.

In that way, as a son, he did not disappoint his parents and sacrificed himself for his own efforts.

After thinking about it, Wei Guo told himself that when it was summer, no matter what, he would take his father to the unit, so that the old father, who had worked hard all his life and saved his life, could also enjoy the comfortable life of the people in the city.

In that way, as a son, can have a clear conscience.
