Chapter 83: Defending the Country and Returning Home
Towards the end of the summer vacation, Wei Guo finally returned from the mountain rotation. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The car stopped at the gate of the base.
Wei Guo calculates the time, he hasn't been home for several months, except for the concern for his children, that is, his wife Dongmei's miss.
Drill a base yard, and as soon as you come in, there is a big slope.
Wei Guo walked up the slope while wondering if his fair-skinned and good-looking wife had already cooked at home at this time and was waiting for him to come back to eat.
After thinking about it, Wei Guo smiled and said in his heart, he didn't have a flying pigeon to pass the book, how could Dongmei know that he was back?
Just when Wei Guo went up the big slope, turned left, and walked towards his house, he suddenly saw a woman selling popsicles not far away.
Wei Guo took a general look, and said in his heart, what a coincidence, how can this woman who sells popsicles look so much like his wife Dongmei.
However, she is definitely not Dongmei anymore.
His wife Dongmei was born fair-skinned, but the woman who sold popsicles not far away was dark-skinned.
How could she be Dongmei?
Just as Wei Guo lowered his head and walked towards the house, a voice suddenly stopped him: "Wei Guo, you are back." ”
Wei Guo has a habit of walking, that is, when walking, he likes to walk with his head down, and the pace of walking is particularly fast.
When Dongmei called Weiguo, he had already passed by Dongmei.
Wei Guo stopped, looked left and right, and said in his heart, who called me, why is the voice so familiar?
"Weiguo, you go home and rest first, and when I finish selling popsicles, I'll come back. ”
His wife's voice came.
Hearing this, Wei Guo was shocked, and said in his heart, how can this woman who sells popsicles speak in the same voice as her wife Dongmei, and she still knows that her name is Wei Guo?
So, Wei Guo turned his head and said, "Who are you, how do you know my name?"
Dongmei was busy selling the remaining popsicles, and said angrily: "Cui Weiguo, I haven't seen you for a few months, what kind of big-tailed wolf are you pretending?"
At this time, Wei Guo saw clearly that the woman selling popsicles in front of him was none other than his wife Yin Dongmei.
However, how did the originally fair-skinned and beautiful wife become this dark, rough-skinned female man in front of her?
Wei Guo said with a big mouth: "Dongmei, how did you become like this?"
Dongmei got on the bike, kicked the pedal and said, "I've been selling popsicles for a month, and it's blowing and sunning every day, can it not change?"
Hearing this, Wei Guo instantly understood, it turned out that Dongmei was selling popsicles behind her back to subsidize her family.
So, Wei Guo rushed forward to see what his wife had become.
However, Dongmei was willing to give him this opportunity, and immediately rode away.
Wei Guo stood in place, looking at his wife who was far away in distress, and felt a burst of self-blame in his heart.
He asked himself, did he quarrel with Dongmei for the 5,000 yuan he bought for Dongmei's account before he left, which caused Dongmei to be emotionally injured, so he pulled down his hair to sell popsicles?
You must know that in the entire drill base, Ken pulled down the bottom and risked being spit on by everyone to sell popsicles, that is, Dongmei.
Wei Guo shook his head and walked towards the house with a sigh of mourning.
As soon as Wei Guo entered the door, the two children rushed up.
They rushed up, not hugging Dad first, but snatching the bag from Daddy's hand first.
Every time Wei Guo came back, the two children expected that their father could bring them back some snacks in his bag, even if it was a bottle of Jianlibao.
However, when the two children rummaged through Weiguo's bag, they couldn't find a snack, and they couldn't help but hug their father in disappointment.
After hugging the child, Wei Guo kissed the child lovingly, and then began to ask about Dongmei.
When did she start selling popsicles, why did she sell popsicles, and so on.
Before dinner in the afternoon, Dongmei finally sold out the box of popsicles.
She returned home in the dust.
Wei Guo saw that Dongmei was going home, so he hurriedly went out to take the bicycle in Dongmei's hand, and said with a look in his eyes: "My wife has worked hard, sit down and rest." ”
Dongmei rode her bike for a day, and she felt like she was falling apart.
She slowly took out a handful of change from her pocket, then handed it to Wei Guo and said, "You can count it for me first, see that I made more than a dozen yuan today." ”
At that time, the money of one or two cents was still paper money.
Wei Guo put the money on the table and said, "Don't count the money yet, you can lie down on the bed and rest for a while." ”
Dongmei waved her hand and said, "No, I don't know my income in a day, I can't go down at all, this is the source of motivation for my work." ”
Hearing this, there was no way, Wei Guo could only help Dongmei start counting money.
While counting the money, Wei Guo said to Dongmei: "Just have me as a man to make money, you are a woman who goes out to make any money, and you are not afraid of people gossiping, scolding me behind my back that Wei Guo has no ability, can't feed a family, and let a woman go out to make money." ”
Dongmei sat on the stool, stretched her waist and said, "What are you talking about, what do you mean that you can't feed a family, so women go out to make money." We are now relying on your money, there is no problem with food and clothing, but we have not yet run to a well-off life, the reason why I go out to work is to let our family run a well-off life, so that the children can live a good life. ”
Wei Guo still disagrees with Dongmei going out to sell popsicles, in his eyes, only the work of the unit, the work of state-owned enterprises, and women do it, that is called decent.
As for jobs like selling popsicles, it's a shame.
So, Wei Guo took out all the money he had earned in the past five months out of his underwear pocket and said, "Dongmei, tell you good news, we have raised our salary." ”
Since the nineties of the last century, the wages of workers have slowly risen.
Hearing that Wei Guo's salary had increased, Dongmei said happily: "How many yuan has it risen?"
Wei Guo glanced at Dongmei and said, "What does it mean to increase a few dollars, is it still called a salary increase?"
Dongmei sat up and said: "That's a few dozen fast money, isn't it, the country's economic development hasn't been so fast in recent years, right?"
Wei Guo put the stack of money in his pocket into Dongmei's hand and said, "Our monthly salary has directly increased by 100 yuan." ”
Hearing this, Dongmei said in surprise: "My God, now your monthly salary has risen from 300 yuan to 400 yuan?"
Wei Guo looked at the sky and pretended to be triumphant: "Then do you still need to ask? Take the 3,000 yuan, don't worry about buying the 5,000 yuan in the hukou." Our family is not a poor family, but we still have a little money. ”
Seeing Wei Guo's triumphant appearance, Dongmei was not to be outdone, he took out all the money he had spent selling popsicles in the past few months.
I saw that Dongmei took out several stacks of money, and they had one cent, one dime, one piece, two pieces, and even five yuan, all of which were firmly tied up by Dongmei with a rubber band.
Dongmei handed the money to Wei Guo and said, "A whole thousand yuan, you count." ”
Seeing the thousand yuan that Dongmei handed him, he couldn't believe his glasses.
As a worker, Wei Guo never thought that a small popsicle seller would be able to earn a thousand yuan in a few months.
Wei Guo had a big mouth, looked at the money and said, "Is it really all earned by selling popsicles?"
Dongmei said seriously: "That's nonsense. Can I, a weak woman, go out and steal, go out and rob?"
After finishing speaking, Dongmei put the 3,000 yuan of Weiguo and her own 1,000 yuan together.
She said to Wei Guo: "A total of 4,000 yuan, enough for your brother to start a business and open a clinic." ”
Hearing that Dongmei was still thinking about the money for her brother-in-law's business, Wei Guo smiled awkwardly and said: "Now I have 400 yuan a month, and it is 4,800 yuan a year, which is about the same as 5,000 yuan, so don't mention the 5,000 yuan." ”
Dongmei said: "I don't want to mention it, I'm afraid that someone will be entangled in this issue and can't let it go." ”
Hearing this, Wei Guo smiled, looking stupid.
Although Wei Guo acquiesced to Dongmei's achievements in selling popsicles, he still didn't want Dongmei to go out to sell popsicles.
I just want her to stay at home quietly and be a housewife who takes care of the children.
Wei Guo believes that it seems that only in this way is it more in line with the essential identity of a traditional woman in the northwest.
At night, Dongmei coaxed the two children to sleep early.
She lay comfortably in Weiguo's arms, narrating her great ideals to Weiguo.
Dongmei wants to make the family a 10,000-yuan household through her hard-working hands.
Hearing the 10,000 households, Wei Guo couldn't believe his ears.
He thinks that Dongmei is simply a fool's dream, it is simply a fantasy, a family of four eats, drinks and scatters, children go to school, see a doctor, and their parents' pension, all of which are borne by themselves, even if Dongmei makes some achievements in business and wants to save 10,000 yuan, it can be said that it is more difficult than climbing to the sky.
However, Wei Guo also sighed that the current days are getting better and better.
He remembered that when he first joined the work, he only paid a few dozen yuan a month, and he saved money for himself, and in the end, at the end of the year, he could send back a few hundred yuan to his family.
When I came back from Xinjiang, when I was in the second drill, my monthly salary had risen to 200 yuan.
In this way, he dared to bring his wife and children out of the countryside.
Because his salary can already ensure the food and clothing of his family.
However, although food and clothing have been solved, the family is a moonlight clan every month, and adults and children dare not get sick, otherwise they will run out of food.
Now, a month's salary has risen to 400, more than ten times more than when I first joined the work.
Now I can not only achieve the food and clothing of the whole family, but also save some money every month, which can be regarded as saying goodbye to the moonlight family.
After discussing the adults, the two began to discuss the children again.
When Wei Guo learned that Tao Tao went to play with a girl named Gou Juan every day, and Dong Mei wanted to give this girl to Tao Tao to kiss the baby, Wei Guo couldn't help but be shocked.
He asked Dongmei, is the father of the little girl Gou Juan called Gou Honggang?
Dongmei nodded and said yes.
Wei Guo asked again if Gou Honggang's wife was called Duan Fangfang.
Dongmei said yes, what's so strange about that.
Wei Guo gasped and said, Duan Fangfang is my first girlfriend.
If you give Gou Juan to Taotao as a doll, you will not be able to.
Hearing this, Dongmei was shocked, she said, Am I not your first love?
Why did Duan Fangfang become your first love again?
You explain it to me.
