Giving Veterans a Home Chapter 3 Shopping (Part I)
Wang Yueying woke up in the morning and saw Wang Quan wrapped in a quilt and snoring beside her without taking off her clothes, she was angry, she pushed Wang Quan vigorously and said, "Get up quickly, follow me to the mall after dinner!" ”
Wang Quan woke up, didn't open his eyes, and shouted angrily to Wang Yueying: "I'm so sleepy, what are you going to do!" ”
Wang Yueying continued to push him: "You say, did you play poker all night last night?" ”
Wang Quan reluctantly sat up, leaned back against the head of the bed, still squinted his eyes, and said with a long yawn, "Yes and what! ”
"I'm not good to you, you follow me to the mall today. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"You don't always have to be angry with me playing poker, now it's rich to count money, no money to leisure, you haven't listened to some people, playing cards is not out of line, Internet is not lacking in morality. Playing poker is the most economical way to relax, spending five dollars to buy two decks of poker, enough for four people to play for half a month. ”
"Leisure that is good for physical health, and you should participate in it if you spend some money; Leisure methods that harm the body, and you can't go to the money upside down. You get up quickly, I'll cook now, let's leave after dinner. Wang Yueying said, folded her quilt, and pulled the quilt that Wang Quan was covering and folded it over.
Wang Yueying doesn't like Wang Quan staying up late the most, and recently she thought of a way, as long as Wang Quan doesn't sleep at night, she will take him to the mall during the day and let him exercise while dozing off, as a punishment for him for not listening to his own dissuasion.
Wang Quan muttered about getting dressed, and he didn't have any appetite for the breakfast made by Wang Yueying. He lit a cigarette and sat on the couch and smoked slowly.
Wang Yueying simply ate something, stood up from the dining table, glanced at Wang Quan dissatisfied, and walked into the bathroom to comb it.
Wang Quan waited for a while, but didn't see Wang Yueying come out of the bathroom, so he shouted at her unhappily: "No matter how old potatoes are dressed, they are still potatoes, and tomatoes are tomatoes if you don't clean them up, what are you still rubbing there, if you want to leave, hurry up!" ”
Wang Yueying ignored her, and after more than ten minutes of "technical processing" in the bathroom, the old face that had experienced the vicissitudes of life even showed the same flush as a young woman.
Wang Quan looked at Wang Yueying's weak body, and suddenly felt a little pity in his heart.
Wang Yueying and Wang Quan are fellow villagers in the same village, classmates in junior high school.
When Wang Quan's chin was as bright as the eldest girl, and Wang Yueying's chest was as flat as the young man, the two of them had a good impression of each other, and the reflection of this good feeling was not intimate body language, nor sweet words under the moon, but a heart-to-heart eye contact. Later, Wang Quan was admitted to the only high school in the county and became a talent in the eyes of rural people. Wang Yueying failed in the high school entrance examination and became a private teacher in the village primary school.
Children in the countryside get engaged early, girls don't eat candy, boys don't wet the bed, adults begin to go on blind dates for them, Wang Quan and Wang Yueying got engaged late, and they have left a place for each other in their hearts.
Wang Quan served as a soldier for three years, and when he was promoted to work in the army, Wang Yueying was still teaching in the village primary school, but Wang Quan's classmate became Wang Quan's wife. After the two got married, Wang Quan once said to others: "If I shout at the entrance of the village when I visit my house, 'Daddy, mother, I'm back', two old men and two old ladies in the village will come out to greet me at the same time, one old man and one old lady are my father and my mother, and the other old man and an old lady are my father-in-law and mother-in-law." ”
Wang Quan's engineering unit is "a shot to change a place", Wang Yueying hugged her son, took the train to the car, got off the car and walked away, the legendary Cowherd picked up his children and knew the Weaver Girl, and the Weaver Girl in reality led her son to find the Cowherd.
In the year when his old mother was diagnosed with liver cancer, Wang Quan had just been promoted to the instructor of the company, and he was leading the troops to work intensively on the construction site. Wang Yueying resigned from her job as a primary school teacher, set up a small bed next to her mother-in-law's sickbed, fed her with a mouthful of food and water, wiped a handful of feces and urine, and served the elderly day and night for more than four months. When Wang Quan took leave and rushed home, his mother had already died and was buried. The grief-stricken Wang Quan knelt in front of his mother's coffin and kowtowed three times, and also kowtowed to Wang Yueying, who was so tired that she took off her human form.
After Wang Quan was promoted to the head of the propaganda unit in the regiment, Wang Yueying met the conditions for joining the army but did not join the army, three elderly people in two families, one of her own children, plus her and Wang Quan's younger brothers and sisters who were not completely independent in life, all needed her to worry about taking care of them, and she was equal to two burdens on her shoulders. Sometimes her parents don't understand, her younger siblings are disobedient, Wang Yueying was so embarrassed that she quietly poured her pillow with tears at night, and even wanted to pack her grievances and grievances into a bag and tie them into bundles, and mail them to Wang Quan to the army, but considering her husband's hard work and difficulties in the army, her letter to Wang Quan was still only to report good news and not bad news. "The two 'mountain' words stacked together are a 'out' word, what are you waiting for if you don't leave?" The sisters who had a good time together in the village persuaded her. Wang Yueying thought that as soon as she left, the fate of her two family members would change, so she persevered in the countryside for a few more years, until she and Wang Quan's younger siblings got married and started a family, Wang Quan was transferred to the leading organ of the Beijing army, and after Wang Yueying became a full-time officer in charge of propaganda work in the Political Bureau of the General Affairs Department, Wang Yueying went through the procedures of "turning agriculture into non-farming," ate commercial grain, and became a salesman in the military service agency of the General Department.
After the socialization of the living security of the general affairs department, the service guarantee of the living quarters was handed over to the local property management company, and Wang Yueying went through the retirement procedures in the army ahead of schedule because she was too old and did not meet the conditions for the property management company to accept the employees of the army.
Wang Yueying has lived in the countryside for a long time, and suffered a lot when she was a child, but after entering the city, the hard and simple style of life has not changed, and some people say that she is not like a family member of a teacher-level cadre, but like a housewife who enjoys a subsistence allowance family. Once, Wang Yueying went out to run errands and walked on the street, and found an old woman with a snakeskin bag always following her, so she asked her curiously: "Auntie, what do you always follow me for?" The old woman said, "I see that you are running out of water in the bottle of mineral water, and you are waiting to pick up the empty bottle." Wang Yueying said: "I won't throw away the empty bottle in my hand, and the next time I go out, I will continue to fill it with boiled water, your old man is waiting to pick up other people's empty bottles!" ”
Serving the old man well and pulling the child up, Wang Yueying's image, in Wang Quan's joke, is already "miserable, her body is as thin as an old loofah, and her armpit is like having two washboards under her arm, if it weren't for a sponge bra hanging from her chest, you can't even tell the front and back from a distance."
Wang Yueying is indeed old, the wrinkles on her face are the marks of the miserable life carved by the wind knife of the years, and the obvious forward waist is a permanent memory left by her long-term labor.
"What are you doing? Let's go! Wang Yueying urged Wang Quan.
Wang Quan looked at Wang Yueying and asked, "You don't want to change your clothes, just leave?" ”
"What else to change into, let's go!"
"A man runs on a garment and a horse on a saddle, and a dog runs merrily with a bell. If you don't look good, you don't wear decent clothes, and you go to the street like this, which damages the image of the city. ”
"Do you dislike me for being old and ugly, and you are walking on the street and embarrassing you?"
"What are these words, ugly wife and family treasure, I don't love you enough, how can I still dislike it, we have been classmates for three years and have been in bed for thirty years, when have I ever disliked you!"
"You don't know if I have a change of clothes."
She is still dressed as a rural sister-in-law.
