Chapter 176 Going to the Capital

Liu Hongjun's hometown is in Shanxi Province.

At the dinner table, Ding Guo inadvertently observed that Liu Hongjun was quite attentive and knew how to take care of Ding Tao. He would pay attention to the dishes that Ding Tao liked and help her pick them up.

Ding Tao's face was flushed. On one hand, she was happy, but on the other hand, she was a little shy to be taken care of by her boyfriend in front of her elder sister.

At the dinner table, Ding Tao said that she was going to take Liu Hongjun back to her hometown to meet her parents.

Because it is risky for temporary workers to take leave, Ding Tao reluctantly gave their workshop director a gift. It was not very expensive, just a can of food, a bag of peach cakes, and some dried fruits that Liu Hongjun brought for Ding Tao.

Let's not go to Shanxi Province for the time being. It's too far away. Not only can Ding Tao not stay home for such a long time, but Liu Hongjun himself doesn't have enough vacation time.

So this time I will meet the girl's parents first, and then go to Liu Hongjun's hometown later.

"Have you booked the ticket?" Ding Guo asked.

Ding Tao nodded: "Let's go tonight."

It was also very rushed, but there was no way around it. She didn't want to lose this job. Although it was a temporary job, it was still a temporary job in the city.

So after dinner, the two sides parted ways.

There have been too many young couples I've met recently, and Ding Guo misses Pei Che a little.

After seeing Ding Tao and the other person off, she went to the post office to call Pei Che. She waited for almost forty minutes before Pei Che called back.

She held the phone and chatted with her man remotely for more than ten minutes before hanging up the phone with a feeling of unfulfilled desire.

When I came out of the post office, I happened to run into Ding Nianjun who was walking in.

The two men met each other.

Ding Nianjun looked at Ding Guo's rosy complexion and increasingly bright color, feeling indescribably jealous.

Today, Ding Guo tied her hair into a neat bun, wore a thin imitation military uniform suit that her mother-in-law sent her, and a pair of simple black cloth shoes.

Her facial features are delicate and beautiful, but because of her personality, there is a hint of heroic spirit between her eyebrows, making the whole person look lively and energetic.

Today, Ding Nianjun is exhausted by the hardships of life and looks two or three years older than her teenage years.

The clothes she was wearing at the moment were the ones she bought before she got married.

The fabrics of that era fade easily, and after being washed many times, the clothes looked obviously old. Standing there, they formed a sharp contrast with the bright colors on Ding Guo's body.

Originally, she was prettier and superior to Ding Guo.

But now, it's completely the opposite.

Ding Nianjun couldn't understand why the circumstances of two people with different destinies could be reversed?

Why can’t a good fate always be good? Why can’t a bad fate always be bitter?

But it had changed, and she couldn't accept it. Even though she was unwilling, she still wanted to cling to him, hoping to use the influence of Ding Guo's in-laws to make Ding Feng's career smoother. So, she seemed to have forgotten the unpleasantness between them in the past, and shouted, "Big sister!"

She looked very pitiful.

Ding Guo didn't even look at her, he just walked around and went down the stairs.

Being ignored made Ding Nianjun feel a little ashamed and angry. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

When she becomes powerful one day, she will make Ding Guo stand at the bottom of the stairs and look up at her. Even if he is unwilling, he will have to curry favor with her. She will also give Ding Guo a cold shoulder.

Ding Guo didn't go far on his bike and went back, turned on the small speaker and listened secretly in the corner, locking on Ding Nianjun's voice and ignoring other noises.

This corner was too sunny, and Ding Guo saw that there was no one around, so he simply slipped into the space with his bicycle.

Ding Nianjun called Pan Dingfeng.

When the call was connected for the first time, the person on the other end was not Pan Dingfeng, so I could only wait there.

Ding Guo was not idle either. She washed a plate of fresh dates, poured herself a cup of iced black tea, and curled up on the sofa in the living room, eating and drinking, feeling so comfortable.

Twenty minutes later, Pan Dingfeng called back.

"peak!"

The sound in the receiver can also be transmitted through the small speaker, but the reception effect is average. I could vaguely hear Pan Dingfeng calling Ding Nianjun's name, and then there was a crackling sound of electric electricity.

It doesn’t matter, she just needs to listen to Ding Nianjun’s voice.

Ding Nianjun: "Dingfeng, I originally wanted to go to the countryside to take care of you, but mom's health has not been good... She vomits repeatedly, and the hospital can't find out what's wrong... Well, Xiangxiang is helping me take care of mom over there, but Xiangxiang is still a child, and can't take care of Huihui and mom at the same time, I can't let go... Well, I will take care of myself... By the way, Dingfeng, buying vegetables in the city is expensive, can you find the aunties in the village to buy some vegetables and send them over?... Buy more, I'll make some pickled vegetables and keep them, and they can be eaten for a long time if you save them... Since you're here, bring a few more baskets, and I'll send some to my eldest brother and the others..."

After hanging up the phone, Ding Nianjun came out of the post office and let out a long breath.

Since she couldn't go back to the countryside for the time being, and now was the season when the vegetables in the private plots of the rural members were growing vigorously, she asked Dingfeng to bring some vegetables over so that she could see if she could find some way to sell them, which would be some income.

But my mother’s condition is really worrying. If she continues like this and never gets better, will she be trapped here forever?

Seeing that the plan he had thought about several times could not be implemented, Ding Nianjun became anxious and depressed.

Ding Nianjun left, and Ding Guo also came out and rode away on his bike.

On the way, I was thinking about Ding Nianjun asking Pan Dingfeng to help her deliver a few baskets of vegetables.

The heroine in the book is very career-oriented. When she was very much loved, she was always trying to make money. Now that she is in trouble, Ding Guo feels that she will not sit idly by.

But she doesn't have time to care about Ding Nianjun's affairs right now, she has to start "acting".

As soon as the night shift this week ended, Ding Guo became an actor. She began to vomit frequently during work. She tried it out on the first day, then got better on the second day. But on the third day, she vomited so much that she couldn't work and asked for leave to go to the hospital.

She went to the hospital hoping to find out that she was having twins, so that she could give her boss a surprise and ask for a long vacation.

As a result, because there was no B-ultrasound in the hospital, the doctor could not find out the cause through routine tests and pulse diagnosis, so Ding Guo had to go back to continue acting.

She acted very dedicatedly for five or six days, then went to her leader to ask for leave, holding her chest and with a sallow face that she had carefully portrayed.

The team leader felt sorry for Ding Guo, but taking leave would mean not getting her salary and benefits, so he tactfully suggested that he help her transfer her to another position, away from working in the workshop with a strong odor, to the packaging group.

Ding Guo looked grateful but declined, saying that her pregnancy reactions were intense and her health was the most important thing. She would return to her job when the reactions were not so intense.

If female workers in a food factory have particularly intense reactions after becoming pregnant, they will ask for leave. Ding Guo's application was not an exception. The team leader first approved her for half a month's leave, and said that if the situation did not improve in half a month, he would call her and tell her to continue to stay at home to take care of the pregnancy, and she would get the leave note after she returned to work.

Ding Guo started her vacation life and also received Ding Tao who came back from her hometown. She listened to Ding Tao's story of bringing her son-in-law home.

"My mother is very satisfied with the Red Army. They are also very capable and they help my father work in the fields..."

The ceremony of visiting her couldn't be compared with that of her brother-in-law Pei Che, but the etiquette was very considerate, which gave her a lot of face.

"Uncle San and Aunt San have also come over to help with the inspection..."

In short, the second uncle and second aunt were very satisfied with the person Ding Tao was dating, and they thanked Pei Che verbally and asked Ding Tao to help convey it.

Ding Guo rolled his eyes in amusement.

Instead of just thanking him verbally, you should give your nephew's husband something practical.

Ding Dayong also safely sent his brother home and returned with the car having completed the mission. Not surprisingly, he brought back two bags of food, two hens with their legs tied up, and two kilograms of brown sugar, which were given by his third aunt.

When Peng Guihua knew that Ding Guo was pregnant, she gave Dayong a lot of instructions and asked him to take good care of his sister.

The chicken was for Ding Guo to nourish his body, so the brother and sister stewed one and roasted one.

Ding Dayong stayed for two days and then set off again, which was a good opportunity for Ding Guo to let himself go.

The next day, he took a bus to the next district, disowned his own mother, and started selling watches and various industrial products he had bought from the mall, openly exchanging the internal consumption value for money.

Going out early and coming back late every day is more active than going to work.

There's no way, it's much more than what I earn at work.

Sometimes watches are not available for sale for two days in a row, but sometimes they are sold out in large quantities once they are available.

Relying on her good physical condition and the strong efficacy of the pregnancy protection pills, Ding Guo is more flexible than those who are not pregnant.

There were two times when she encountered people with red armbands. She quickly put away her things and ran after everyone else without even taking a breath.

After escaping danger, he asked the system: "Is my child okay?"

Mouse: "Don't worry, I'm fine!"

Ding Guo breathed a sigh of relief, observed the situation outside through the viewing window, drank two sips of iced black tea to calm his nerves, made sure that no one was catching up with him, changed his clothes, left in a swagger, went to the bus station to take a bus, changed his position, and continued to teeter on the edge of danger.

After jumping around in cities around Fengning for seven or eight days, Ding Guo went to the factory again with her hands on her chest. She got a letter of introduction on the grounds that her in-laws were coming to pick her up to go to the capital to take care of her pregnancy. She also extended her vacation and then called Mr. Pei, preparing to stay in the capital for a few days.

She set her own time, and the old man arranged for someone to buy her a ticket.

Ding Guo reported to the police two days late, left a note for Dayong who had not returned from a business trip, said hello to Ding Tao, and took a bus to Wuxin with his bag.

She stayed in Wuxin for two days, went to several black market spots, sold four watches, and rushed to the designated location that night, got the soft sleeper ticket that the old man had asked someone to buy for her, and went to the capital.

It was around 1:00 p.m., just after lunchtime, when we arrived in the capital.

As soon as he got out of the station, Ding Guo saw his elder sister-in-law Pei Yu.

"Sister!" "Guoguo!"

Pei Yu hurried over to take the things from Ding Guo's hand. When she lifted it, she felt it was a little heavy, so she said angrily, "Why are you still carrying things? We have everything at home, and we can buy things that we don't have. Don't carry things anymore in the future. If you run away, it will be no joke."

Ding Guo said with a smile: "I know, sister, I was in the car the whole time and didn't really carry it."

Pei Yu glared at her and suddenly understood how her mother felt when she was pregnant.

He looked at his sister-in-law's complexion again. Her face was rosy and she seemed to be in good spirits, many times better than when she was pregnant. So he felt relieved and walked out with Ding Guo, while showing concern for her physical condition after pregnancy. He also asked if the journey was smooth, whether her taste was sweet or sour... He asked a lot of questions.

Pei Yu didn't ask the old man's guard to come over. She could drive, so she drove to pick people up herself.

As soon as Ding Guo got in the car, Pei Yu handed him a kettle: "The kettle is new, drink some water if you are thirsty." He pointed to the side and said: "There are snacks there, if you are hungry, eat first, and we will go home for dinner."

Ding Guo had a good appetite now. She had eaten a piece of bread and some dried meat before arriving at the station. She wasn't very hungry at the moment, but she was a little greedy. She took a piece of jujube flower crisp and started eating: "Thank you, sister!"

Pei Yu smiled and shared his experience with her, saying, "In the early stage, you can eat as much as you want. From the middle stage onwards, you have to control your food intake, otherwise the baby will be too big and difficult to give birth to."

Before Ding Guo agreed to share her experience with her elder sister-in-law, Haozi's voice rang out: "Host, don't worry. The fetal protection pills will not make the fetus too large and will protect it until a smooth delivery."

Ding Guo responded to Haozi with a smile: "I know, but my sister-in-law also means well."

The mouse also knew that the nameless character in the book had good intentions. It was just worried that its host would find excuses to find fault with it and blame it for not reminding it of the precautions during pregnancy. Then it would have to explain itself, so it was better to nip all factors that could be used as "faults" in the bud so that the host would have nothing to find fault with.

Ding Guo didn't know that she was being controlled by her own system, so she humbly asked Pei Yu a few more questions about pregnancy.

There has to be a topic to talk about, otherwise it will easily become a dull occasion.

The old man is still in the army, and it was Aunt Zhang who greeted Ding Guo.

Aunt Zhang naturally knew that Ding Guo was pregnant, and her face was full of joy, and she kept inviting Ding Guo to eat.

Pei Yu accompanied Ding Guo to finish the meal and then left. Her boyfriend was on a business trip and had to pick up the children in the afternoon. She said, "You go and have a rest. I'll bring the two little monkeys over in the evening."

"Sister, please wait a moment..."

Ding Guo went to look through her bag. She just remembered her identity as an aunt on the way and forgot to buy gifts for the Pei family's nephews and nieces. Fortunately, there were children's clothes in the mall. Although the styles were simple, they were still children's clothes.

Ding Guo bought two sets of clothes and also bought a pair of leather shoes for Pei Yu.

The gift for Mr. Pei has been prepared and is also placed in the bag.

Pei Yu said politely, "We are not strangers, so don't spend money recklessly in the future."

Ding Guo also bought Aunt Zhang a pair of cloth shoes and a black plastic headband.

Aunt Zhang felt a little embarrassed, but also touched. She had no other way to give back, so she could only do her best and make more delicious food for Ding Guo.

When Pei Yu left, Aunt Zhang urged with a smile, "Xiao Ding, the room has been tidied. The sheets, pillowcases, and mats are all new. I also put a fan in your room. I fumigated the room with mugwort last night and ventilated it again this morning. I just went in and smelled it, and there's no smell. Go lie down and have a sleep."

Mugwort can be used to fumigate mosquitoes, but people are worried that the strong smell may be bad for pregnant women, so they also have to pay attention to ventilation to release the smell. It is very appropriate.

"Thank you, Aunt Zhang. You've worked hard."

Resting is secondary. Ding Guo wanted to take a shower, so he went back to get some clean clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
