As the saying goes, when a fellow sees a fellow villager with two tears in his eyes, it means that when he meets a fellow villager in a foreign country, he has a sense of intimacy and can help and support each other. Today I will tell the true story of a fellow villager helping. This is in Yongnian Taiji Square, I met a friend and told him about an incident he personally experienced.
In the 1970s, this friend was a soldier in Wuhan, because he was practical and capable, the people were more diligent, the driving skills were good, and he was a veteran for many years, the army arranged for him to do logistical work. Usually, I go to the city to buy some daily necessities, and pick up and drop off the troops.
One day in the lunar month of that year, the troops asked him to drive to the Wuchang Railway Station to drop off someone, and when he was about to drive back, he habitually looked around. It was very eye-catching to find a corner of the station square. This man was completely dressed in the northern countryside, dressed very plainly, sitting cross-legged on the ground, in front of him was a cloth stall with several bags of things on it, and a large cloth pocket next to it, as if he was selling something. At that time, there were not many people doing business, and there was no urban management to manage the cityscape. There were only three or five people watching, and everyone just watched but no one went to buy it. So he stepped forward and talked to the stallholders.
"Comrade, who are you?" Intuition made him try to ask, the man first raised his head slightly, saw that it was a soldier, and also spoke Mandarin, so he replied in passing: "Handan, Hebei." As soon as he heard it, he was interested, and sure enough, he guessed that it was eight or nine.
"Handan, where are the people of Handan?" He then asked again.
The man looked at the soldier in front of him who was very friendly, and then replied, "What's wrong with Yongnian County in handan region?" ”
When he heard that this person was eternal, he was very excited, he had been a soldier outside for many years, and he rarely saw his fellow countrymen in normal times. He hurriedly said, "Oh, oh, my hometown is also eternal, then we are fellow countrymen." He immediately changed his Mandarin to Yongnian dialect and began to talk cordially with the stall owner in his hometown dialect.
Looking at these locals who were watching again, their faces were blindfolded, and they couldn't understand what the two people were saying in a crackling, and they walked away one by one bored.
My friend said enthusiastically, "Where is the hometown forever?" This person also replied with a happy smile: "I am the Yongnian Great Northern Wang, what about you?" ”
"Great Northern Wang's, it is really a coincidence, my hometown is also Great Northern Wang, I have been a soldier in Wuhan for five or six years, I did not expect to meet the real hometown here."
"Dabei Wang, why did you come to Wuhan?" What's going on here? How did you put up a stall?", the friend asked incomprehensibly.
At this time, the stall people were also excited and excited, ten thousand did not expect that in this foreign Wuhan, the vast sea of people, can also meet a soldier's hometown, it is still a township, there are still such clever things in the world, it is indeed not easy. Followed by 1510, he told the whole story of the matter.
"Fellow villagers, it's a long story, I am the village production captain, this year the state advocates engaging in side business, after research, the production team used mu to plant the land with mustard, looking forward to each family can increase their income, the New Year to improve their lives." This year's harvest is not bad, mustard is more common in the north, I think mustard is a rarity in the south, maybe it can sell a good price, this is not, I came to Wuhan with the introduction letter opened by the brigade, I am not familiar with life, and I don't know who to contact, I made a stall at the station, who knows not to say that someone bought it, even the people who asked were very few, and they were worried about it. ”
Friends listened to haha laughed: "Fellow, you only know one does not know the second ah, Wuhan also belongs to the south, although mustard is a rarity, but the locals do not recognize ah, eat less people, the staple food here is rice, unlike the northern New Year, every household has to wrap dumplings, eat dumplings also have the habit of dipping in vinegar dipped in mustard, not here, I say something you don't like to hear, that is, to Chinese New Year's Eve your pocket of mustard is probably difficult to sell ah. ”
At this time, it was the turn of this person to be surprised, and the smile on his face turned into a cloud of sorrow, stomped his feet and turned around a few times, clapping his hands and saying to himself, What can I do? Come out and run in vain, the task can not be completed, not to say, the villagers are still counting on this New Year, this is all finished.
Seeing that this person was anxious to cry, the friend comforted: "Fellow, don't worry about it first, it is just entering the waxing moon, there is still time, where do you live?" Or you will give me a few days to live in the army, and then I will think of a way, maybe there will be a turnaround. ”
Up to now, there is no other way, the dead horse is a live horse doctor, just like this, the friend let the eternal old man get on the car, and the two came to the army together. When they arrived at the gate of the troops, the friend said to this eternal fellow: "Fellow, the troops have discipline, I will go ahead to report the situation, and you will wait a little at the door," and the fellow replied: "Well, everything is arranged by you, and it is really a blessing that I have cultivated from my predecessors to meet you, a fellow." ”
Immediately, the friend took the letter of introduction from his fellow villager and reported these situations to the head of the unit. After getting the consent of the troops, the friend arranged the fellow to the troop guest house, the food in the guest house was very good, and there was a table for 8 people when eating, and the meat and vegetables were matched. At that time, the local conditions were very bitter, and this fellow dreamed of being able to eat such a rich meal, but it was also free, and the room he lived in was hygienic and clean and very comfortable.
In this way, this fellow stayed beautifully in the troop guest house, but there was always a knot in his heart, after all, this time he was not out to play, there was a task of selling mustard, and finally waited for the 4th day, the friend came to the guest house with a spring breeze on his face, and said happily: "Fellow, good news and good news, everything is done, for the situation of your production team, the chief also attaches great importance to it, the troop place is originally a family, it is also right to help the local government to solve problems, the troops come from all over the world, everywhere people have it, There are also a lot of northerners in our unit, and the new year's food of the troops has also arranged dumplings, your mustard just came in handy, and now the logistics have been arranged, and all the mustard you brought with you has been purchased and scattered to various units, so you can put your heart in your stomach. ”
The next day, the friend handed over more than 300 yuan of mustard money settled by the logistics office to the eternal fellow. He also drove his compatriots to the train station, and repeatedly told him to pay attention to safety on the road and keep the money and goods. At that time, more than 300 yuan was also a huge amount of money. Before getting on the bus, the fellow hugged his friend's hand tightly, shed tears of emotion, and choked up and said: "I don't say any more words, on behalf of the villagers, thank you to the troops, thank you fellows..."
A few decades have passed, this friend has also transferred from the army to the locality, and whenever he recalls this incident, he also relishes it, and when he goes out, he can do something for his fellow villagers and help him, and there is also a sense of accomplishment. This is the hometown to help the fellow, a lifetime can not forget ah.
