August weather, the sun on the Gobi Desert is scorching hot. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Wei Guo bought a very small electric fan for the family and placed it one meter away from the head of the bed.
Dongmei wiped her sweat with a towel, and with a slight twist, the electric fan blew out a cool wind.
Sweat droplets on Dongmei's forehead quickly cooled, she felt much cooler, and at the same time happy that there was a decent household appliance at home, she felt that modernization was really good, social development was really fast, and everything was getting better and better.
After blowing cold, it was much more comfortable, and she went to the kitchen to continue stewing pig's trotters.
Although Weiguo usually lives very economically, he is very willing to spend money on food for his children, and he must supplement nutrition for his children from an early age, so that his children will grow tall and strong in the future, and he must not be as thin and small as himself.
Some time ago, Wei Guo often went to Karamay to buy fish for his family, and when the child was young, there was a lack of nutrients in his body, and this nutrient happened to be in the body of the fish.
Dongmei has never made fish, just started to make it, and it smells fishy, and the family can't eat it, but she is diligent and inquisitive, and after learning a few times from the neighbor's Sichuanese, she has made a good fish.
Children also love to eat fish, and he eats fish very well, eats the fish very finely, and then withdraws the thorns, Dongmei sees it in her eyes, happy in her heart, she feels that her child is really smart, although small, but the skill of eating fish is so skillful.
Occasionally, Wei Guo would cut a little pork back, and Dongmei would learn her mother's method to make pork dumplings.
But the first time she fried all the meat dumplings stinked, let alone eaten, so the second time she prepared all kinds of spices, and put them in order when she made the meat, but she didn't expect the fried meat dumplings to be better than her mother's.
She stored the meat dumplings and put a little bit in them every time she ate the noodle soup, so that the noodle soup had a flavor inside.
Today, Wei Guo bought back the pig's trotters on a whim and handed them over to Dongmei.
Dongmei specially went to consult the Sichuan people next door, and after retrieving the true scriptures from her, she tried to do it.
After the trotters are stewed, take them out, put them on a cutting board, and when they are cool, then cut them into slices or strips.
The little baby squatted in front of the small pot of stew, looking at the meat inside, he was already drooling greedily, and he couldn't wait to eat the meat now.
Dongmei looked at her two-year-old child, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that he was cute.
With a chubby face, a double chin, sandals, and shorts, he looks very funny and cute.
Because he shaved his head and often went out to run, the child's scalp was tanned and blackened, and his originally fair skin became black.
Just as Dongmei watched her child fall silent in love, she didn't pay attention, and the child actually held the pig's trotters on the board, opened the door and ran out, and while running, she also bit the pig's trotters and trotters to eat.
It turned out that the child wanted to eat the pig's trotters, but the mother put the pig's trotters on the board, thinking that she would not let herself eat, she wanted to eat, and she was afraid that her mother would beat her, so she didn't dare to say, so she simply picked up the pig's trotters and ran out.
At this time, outside, not far from the square, the workers of the drilling team were holding a collective meeting.
Under the sun, hundreds of workers sat neatly below, and on the rostrum, the leaders were holding the manuscript and reading it in a low voice.
Just when everyone's expressions were serious and they were listening seriously, they suddenly saw a fat boy with a bare head and a tanned scalp, holding a pig's trotters in his arms, rushing to the rostrum, and a young mother behind him was struggling to catch up.
Because the child ran very fast, Dongmei, who chased her out of the house, couldn't catch up for a while, so she staged a funny scene of a mother chasing the child on the rostrum, which made hundreds of workers laugh below.
When the child was two and a half years old, Dongmei was pregnant with her second child, and she hoped that the second child would be a girl, such a son, a woman, could form a "good" character, and at the same time, she also hoped to give birth to a child in the unit of Weiguo, so she named her Cui Jiang, because she was born in Xinjiang. One day, after Wei Guo got off work, he held a letter from home in his hand and handed it to Dongmei.
Wei Guo's mother told Wei Guo Dongmei in the letter. I am old, I have an old bone, and I don't have any hope, I just want to be with my baby grandson and see my grandson every day, but now I haven't seen my grandson for almost three years, and I almost forget what my grandson looks like, I really can't think about it, let Weiguo send Dongmei and the child back.
In the future, let them live in the countryside, don't run away with Weiguo, otherwise the children will forget their roots, and if they can't see their grandchildren, they won't be able to live.
The mother misses her grandson very much, so the filial Wei Guo decides to send Dongmei and the child back to their hometown in Guanzhong.
Although Dongmei is reluctant in her heart, she is a woman and has no job, so she can only listen to her husband. So, she took her son back to Cuijia Village, which had been absent for more than two years.
When Dongmei returned home, she felt like she was returning home. Wei Guo's parents welcomed her back very warmly. At the same time, he found that the kang that had been trampled on when he left had also been recoiled, and the original adobe kang had become a cement floor kang.
Wei Guo's father politely said to Dongmei: "The cement floor kang is strong, and I am no longer afraid of you stepping on it." However, it is not as warm as the adobe kang in winter, but it is cooler in summer. ”
Dongmei was also surprised to find that the edge of the new kang was also covered with beautiful white tiles, which looked clean and beautiful.
Hearing that Dongmei came back from Xinjiang with the child in her arms, and the child still spoke Mandarin, not Guanzhong dialect, everyone in the village came to watch, especially a few grandmothers, who looked at the sleeping child in Wei Guo's mother's arms with great interest.
A few old grandmothers said a word, and she said one by one: "Look at this doll, with a high nose and deep eyes, how cute." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the child in Wei Guo's mother's arms woke up and opened his eyes.
A few grandmothers looked at it, when they fell asleep, they closed their eyes, they couldn't see the size of their eyes, they thought the eyes were big, but when they opened their eyes, how could they be the eyes of a little mouse, several grandmothers were very disappointed, one of the grandmothers said: "Why are the eyes so small, if the eyes can be bigger, it will be a beautiful child." ”
The two-year-old child already has the ability to discern, and perhaps he thinks that the old grandmother is talking about his badness, and he doesn't know when he learned to curse, suddenly reaches out and scratches the old woman's face, and then says, "Big villain, get out of the way." ”
After hearing this, several grandmothers were stunned for a moment, and then they all laughed and said: "This doll can also scold people in Mandarin, which is really interesting." ”
Wei Guo's mother was not to be outdone, and argued with a few grandmothers: "What's wrong with the mouse eyes, what's wrong with the eyes, my doll's eyes are spotlight." ”
After Dongmei came back, she learned that her sister-in-law had married and married to Guojia Village, which was not far from Cuijia Village.
And the little uncle was also admitted to a traditional Chinese medicine college in the provincial capital after a year of tutoring.
Dongmei couldn't help but secretly admire Wei Guo's mother, and felt that the children she educated were really amazing.
You must know that in the 80s, when the entrance examination was like ascending to the sky, a family in a village could produce two dolls who went out of the examination, which was quite remarkable, and it could be described as the glory of the ancestors.
At this time, it happened that Dongmei's sister Chunmei came to Cui's house to visit her sister.
Chunmei looked at the child playing with mud on the side, and said to her sister Dongmei: "Ah, I haven't seen him for two years, the bridge of his nose has grown, I remember that when you left, he dotted a garlic pimple on his nose, where is the bridge of the nose." ”
After speaking, she walked forward lovingly, looked at the child carefully and said, "Everything is good, but why haven't your eyes changed, it's still a little small." ”
At this time, the child who was playing with mud suddenly turned his head and said angrily to Chunmei, "Big villain, get out." ”
Chunmei heard him scolding, and hurriedly flattered him and said, "If you don't scold, I'll buy you delicious food, auntie, what do you want to eat?"
The child happily threw away the mud in his hand, looked at Chunmei and said, "I want to eat swan eggs, no, no, no, no." ”
And the long list of "no" words, the tone is subdued, the first two words are one tone, the middle two words are three tones, and there are turns, and the last two words are four tones.
Chunmei was shocked, looked at Dongmei and said, "You doll, why do you talk like this, why do you pull such a tone in the back?"
Dongmei was accustomed to it and said disapprovingly: "After he learned to speak, he kept saying this." ”
As soon as Dongmei's words were finished, the child rushed over, grabbed the corner of Dongmei's clothes and continued: "Mom, I want to eat fish, no, no, no." ”
Chunmei said: "The child speaks with slurred words and stutters, but he hasn't heard the words with "no" at the back of the speech, so whether he eats or doesn't eat." ”
Dongmei wiped the child's hands and said, "Of course I want to eat it." ”
Chunmei asked Dongmei in wonder: "You can still buy fish, so how can he buy the swan eggs he wants to eat, when you are in the city, do you eat swan eggs in addition to eggs? That must be very expensive." ”
After Dongmei wiped the child's hands, she picked him up and gave Chunmei and said, "The swan egg is a round ball made of popcorn glued with syrup, called a swan egg." ”
The two sisters were chatting with great interest, when they suddenly heard a peddler pushing a bicycle at the door, and his voice was very long, "Guard??? Bear???? Paper????. ”
At that time, the rural people disliked the high price of toilet paper, and no one bought it, so the younger people wiped it with newspapers, books and paper after untying their hands, and the elderly generally picked up a lump of soil from the ground.
But when the child heard the toilet paper, he suddenly became interested and cried to buy toilet paper.
The two-year-old child didn't know what toilet paper was, and when he heard that there was a cry for sale, he thought it was selling food, so he took his mother to buy it for her.
Dongmei saw that the child was disobedient again, and was about to reach out to hit him, but Wei Guo's mother appeared, he felt sorry for the child, he was very used to children, as long as the child wanted, he could be satisfied, and he was satisfied, so he took the child to buy him a roll of toilet paper.
After the child took the toilet paper, he tore off the plastic packaging on the outside, took the toilet paper and put it to his mouth, took a hard bite, found that he couldn't eat it, and threw it into the ditch on the side of the road.
And Wei Guo's mother regretted the toilet paper she bought with money, so she found a branch pole to fish for toilet paper.
At night, Chunmei stayed and slept on a kang with her sister, she wanted to listen to her sister tell her about the prosperous world outside, and by the way, she also gave herself a long insight.
Dongmei coaxed the child to fall asleep and talked about it with relish.
My sister was fascinated by this, and finally said that she was also looking for a husband who could sell food.
Dongmei heard that her sister was interested, so she took the line for her and her brother-in-law and said: "Commodity grain, I have one here, you see how my brother-in-law is, he was admitted to the Chinese medicine college in the provincial capital, and his future is immeasurable." ”
After Chunmei listened, she pushed her sister and said: "Your brother-in-law and I have been studying in the same school since we were children, it is common, although he will be a commodity grain in the future, but I don't like men of low height, I like men who are tall, have character, are not shy in front of me, and are full of manliness." ”
Dongmei sighed and said: "Since you don't want to, then forget it, listen to my mother, I also introduced you to a dentist before, how did you talk about it, the income of a dentist is high now." ”
Chunmei pushed her sister again and said, "I don't want to, I don't look alike, I think the dentist is digging in people's mouths every day, and it's very dirty." ”
Dongmei continued to sigh and said, "Then what about the boy in the town who first told you about it, he is from the town, and the conditions are good." ”
Chunmei said reluctantly: "I don't love him as soon as I meet him, he is a man's family, twisted and pinched, not atmospheric at all." ”
Dongmei spoke for the boy: "People twist, it means that he is shy in front of you, shy men are generally good men, very reliable, you really don't understand anything." ”
Dongmei knows that Chunmei is a well-known beautiful girl in Yinjia Village, but if you are looking for a partner, you can't be so picky, and in the end, you can't delay yourself.
