In a blink of an eye, it was winter. After Zhao Qiuyan and her husband Wanli took leave from work,
They took their children and embarked on a journey home.
? Compared with the past, returning home from the Xinjiang Karamay Drilling Team,
Now, it is much more convenient to go back to my hometown from northern Shaanxi.
A family of three stood at the drilling site, across the road below the base, waiting for the bus from the north to the south.
In that era, from Guanzhong, Shaanxi to northern Shaanxi, there was no expressway, and all of them were low-speed.
Moreover, the road condition is not very good,
Therefore, the speed of buses is generally slower.
In winter, the weather in northern Shaanxi is extremely cold,
When a family of three was standing on the side of the road waiting for the bus,
After a while, he was shivering from the cold.
Especially children, they were so cold that they cried directly.
Zhao Qiuyan held her son Longlong in her arms and told her:
"Hold on for a while, it shouldn't be long before the bus will come"
Wan Li stood on the side of the road, regretting not taking his wife and children with him to take the train in Yan'an City, and said:
"If I had known, in winter, there are so few buses, I should have taken both of you, mother and son, to Yan'an Railway Station, and took the train. I wouldn't have left the child crying in the cold"
When Wan Li regretted it, Zhao Qiuyan pointed to a seven-mile bus driving from the north not far away, and said:
"The bus is here, hurry up and get on the bus"
The buses of that era were very crude,
Although, a family of three got on the bus,
However, because there is no air-conditioning or heating in the bus,
Moreover, some windows are still not closed tightly,
Therefore, the temperature inside the bus is as cold as outside.
However, even so, Zhao Qiuyan already felt that it was very good,
At least, sitting in the bus is much better than standing on the side of the road, shivering under the cold wind.
However, the child was still cold while sitting on the seat, and his feet hurt.
I saw that when Zhao Qiuyan saw that the child was uncomfortable, she asked the child and said:
"Longlong, what's the matter with you? Is it still very cold? Otherwise, mother will take off the coat and put it on for you?"
I saw that Longlong pointed to his feet and said:
"Mom, I'm sitting on the bus now, my body is no longer cold, but my feet are very cold"
Children in that era generally wore cotton shoes made by their families.
Although comfortable, but not warm,
Especially, in this place in northern Shaanxi.
When Zhao Qiuyan saw that her son Longlong's feet were cold and shed tears,
She took off the child's shoes, and then put the child's cold feet on her warm stomach to warm the child's feet.
When her husband Wanli sitting next to her saw Zhao Qiuyan pampering her child like this,
He then said to Longlong:
"Son, your mother spoils you like this. When you grow up, you must be good and be filial to your mother"
After a while, Longlong stopped crying,
After his feet were warmed by his mother's body, with a smile on his face, he said:
"Thank you mom, my feet are no longer cold. When mom gets old, I will warm her feet"
The bus stopped and stopped all the way, and it took a whole day to drive from day to night, and arrived in the provincial capital city of Xi'an.
? When the bus arrived, after Xi'an,
A family of three found a very cheap hotel and stayed there.
The hotel only costs 5 yuan a night, and it is a small house built under the stairs.
Although, the room is not big,
However, because there is heating in the room,
Therefore, it is also quite warm.
At night, a family of three sleeps in the room, which is very comfortable.
Early in the morning, in order to drive the car, the family of three got up from the bed early.
There is only one water room in the guest house. When Zhao Qiuyan came out from the toilet and passed the water room,
She saw that there were many women, facing the mirror, putting on lipstick andImprovement, ordinary oil workers like us can also live in brick and tile houses with such good conditions, it was unthinkable before"
Wan Li was going to take his father-in-law and mother-in-law to watch a movie for a few days, and said:
Drilling a base, every week, two or three movies are shown, and tomorrow, I will go to the light stadium to have a look, if there is a movie, I will take you two to watch the movie"
In the early 1990s, there were very few opportunities to show movies in rural areas.
Therefore, when Zhao Qiuyan's parents heard that the family courtyard where the oil workers lived in front of them could still watch movies, they really didn't expect it.
Because there is a stove in the room and a fire wall, so the room is very warm,
Although, there is no kang,
However, sleeping on a wire bed is also very comfortable.
During the day, Zhao Qiuyan will take her parents to go around the neighborhood, have fun, or go to the county fair.
In the evening, Zhao Qiuyan and her husband Wanli will take their parents to the illuminated stadium to watch everyone play basketball, or the elderly play croquet.
And whenever a movie is shown, Zhao Qiuyan's family, big and small, will go to the movie theater to watch movies.
And watching movies has become the greatest pleasure for a family of several people.
However, what Zhao Qiuyan did not expect was that,
?My parents lived in Zhao Qiuyan's house for a period of time, but they showed various discomforts.
After all, they are elderly people who have lived in the countryside all their lives. After they come to the city, the difference in life and the impact are still very large.
There was no way, Zhao Qiuyan's parents came to live in Zhao Qiuyan's house, and they left for home within 10 days.
? When Zhao Qiuyan's parents left, Zhao Qiuyan and his wife were also embarrassed,
After all, they tried their best to take over their parents from their hometown in the countryside this time, so that they can enjoy themselves.
However, Fu did not expect that it caused all kinds of discomforts in the life of the elderly. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
