Ding Guo was disgusted by a certain period novel she read. A character with her exact name and surname had a persona: a saintly female supporting character who would sacrifice everything for her fa...
Chapter 95 95 (Revised) Three in One
The next day, the exchange meeting continued. Fengning Food Factory did not display their new products this year. Instead, they produced old bread and pastries that the factory had produced for many years. They also explained the historical origins of these desserts and the achievements made in recent years.
Zheng Guihong and her colleagues are very skilled in kneading the dough, and their movements are as smooth as flowing water. They pinch off dough pieces of fixed weight and throw them on the scale, and the weight is exactly right. They shape the bread and pastries successfully in one go, and they do not lose their shape or become limp when they come out of the oven, which wins them applause.
People from the Shanghai Food Factory were discussing in a low voice in Shanghai dialect, saying that the products of Fengning Food Factory were too popular, and that the products on display were also produced by other factories. They had no special features from taste to shape and were not very representative.
Several of them spoke with thick accents, and except for the other people from Shanghai, everyone around them was confused.
Ding Guo studied in Shanghai before he traveled through the book, so he could understand the local accent to some extent. He smiled and said to those people, "Thank you for your suggestions. This is exactly the purpose of our study and exchange this time, to expand our thinking, develop innovations, and research more new products."
The three Shanghai girls might have someone who could understand their conversation, which was somewhat awkward. They just smiled and didn't dare to continue whispering.
Zhang Cuifang asked Ding Guo in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
Ding Guo said softly, "They were discussing that the products we made were too popular. Food factories in many places, not just Fengning, can produce them. They have no characteristics."
Zhang Cuifang nodded without any displeasure on her face. When selecting the products, a factory cadre had mentioned that the old products were safe but had no special features.
Just like peach pastries, many local food factories are producing them. The bread and pastries they participated in the exchange this time are the products they have been producing since the establishment of the factory. They are not the factory’s own inventions, but the people recognize these. They have been in the market for the longest time and have been tested for a long time, but they really don’t have any special features. Now those products have long been circulated, and other food factories in other places are also producing them, but there are some subtle differences in taste.
The factory has launched new products over the years, but most of them were short-lived. After the novelty wore off, the local people's favorite products were peach cakes, longevity cakes, egg cakes, and square old bread.
Before coming to the capital this time, the factory held a meeting to discuss product selection. The new product invented by Ding Guo this year was mentioned. After several discussions, the final decision was to use the old product that had been used for many years.
Old products are the most reliable. The old hands in the factory can make them well with their eyes closed. They may not be outstanding, but they will definitely not make mistakes.
Using new products can certainly give people a fresh feeling, but compared with old products, there are still more uncertainties. In addition, the factory has selfish motives and does not want other food factories to imitate those new products so early.
So now that it’s been pointed out, there’s nothing to be angry about.
Since it’s your first time participating, it’s better to be safe.
She was more curious about Ding Guo's ability to understand Shanghainese.
Ding Guo smiled and said, "There were educated youth from Shanghai in the place where I went to the countryside before."
Zhang Cuifang nodded, glanced at the operating table over there, and asked again: "Are you going out tonight?"
Ding Guo: "I'm not going out tonight."
Mr. Pei did mention last night that he wanted her to come to his house for dinner tonight, but Ding Guo declined. It was not good to be separated from the group all the time, so Mr. Pei did not force her. He asked them about the time they would end and leave the capital. Knowing that it would take two or three days, he specifically asked her to come to his house before leaving and bring a letter back to Xiao Haifeng.
Over the next two days, Ding Guo participated in exchanges and learning during the day and summary meetings at night. In her free time, she and her colleagues went to several large department stores and visited several tourist attractions, where they took several group photos. She also found an opportunity to go to the black market, where she bought several meat tickets at a high price and bought several roast ducks to take away. She found an empty place and put the roast ducks into the space.
The exchange meeting was coming to an end. Deputy Director Su bought a train ticket for 8 o'clock that evening. Time was very tight. Ding Guo borrowed the factory phone in the morning to call the old man to explain the situation. Mr. Pei asked her to go to his house at noon to pick up the letter and have a meal.
At noon, Ding Guo said hello to Zhang Cuifang and went to the military compound alone.
From a distance, I saw someone registering with the security guard, waiting for the security guard to check and verify the letter of introduction.
Even without Comrade Xiao He's guidance, Ding Guo still had to go through the same process. She quickly lowered her head and rummaged through her bag, using the shoulder bag as a cover to take out her letter of introduction from the space.
At this time, a bicycle rode out of the compound. Pan Dingfeng slammed on the brakes. Ding Nianjun, who was sitting on the back seat, was shaken and asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Dingfeng?"
"It's Ding Guo, why is she here?" Pan Dingfeng couldn't help but get angry when he saw Ding Guo.
The current situation at home is all caused by Ding Guo.
He finally confirmed that he was not mistaken that night, it was actually Ding Guo.
"Ding Guo is in the capital? Why is she here?" Ding Nianjun poked his head out from behind Pan Dingfeng and saw the person walking towards them. He subconsciously said, "She, she must have known about our wedding and is rushing to attend it!"
Their wedding was over, and their parents had returned to Fengning. Why was she coming here at this time?
"Do you think she wants to use my name to visit my parents and take the opportunity to ease the relationship?" Ding Nianjun whispered.
Thinking he had guessed Ding Guo's purpose, Ding Nianjun felt a secret sense of inexplicable joy rising in his heart.
Ding Guo had said so many bad things about the Pan family before, causing them so much harm. Now she is trying to curry favor with them by marrying into the Pan family!
Pan Dingfeng shook his head: "She didn't come for the wedding. She has been in the capital for several days. I don't know what she came here for. But she came to the compound... I think you are right, she must want to visit my parents."
Nianjun has become the daughter-in-law of the Pan family after all, so Ding Guo has to come to their house when she comes. But he doesn't welcome him, and his parents hate Ding Guo so much, so how could they let him come? This man is simply dreaming.
Before Ding Nianjun asked Pan Dingfeng why he said Ding Guo had been in the capital for several days, Pan Dingfeng had already turned his car around and rode to the gate guard. He said to the guard in a cold tone: "Comrade, not just anyone can enter our compound. You must be careful when you examine them, and don't let anyone in."
As he spoke, he glanced at Ding Guo who was approaching, hinting that if anyone proposed to visit the Pan family later, he should stop them from entering.
The guard didn't understand, but nodded politely. Of course, not everyone can enter the compound. In addition to verifying with the family to be visited, the letter of introduction and other relevant documents must also be strictly checked. Is the second son of the Pan family questioning his job?
Pan Dingfeng snorted coldly at Ding Guo, shook his head in disdain, turned around and rode away, riding past Ding Guo like the wind.
Now I think about building relationships, what else did I do before?
Behind the car seat, Ding Nianjun suppressed the smile on his lips and gave Ding Guo a cold and sarcastic glance without saying a word, showing his arrogant attitude to the extreme.
Since Ding Guo knew that the Pei family and the Pan family lived in the same compound, he knew that they would run into each other sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to be so early. He also didn't understand why the couple had a stroke at such a young age and had so many furrowed eyebrows.
She walked straight to the guard, showed him her letter of introduction, and said, "Hello, comrade. I'm going to the Pei family!"
The guard read the letter of introduction and did not call the Pei family to inquire. Instead, he saluted Ding Guo and said, "Hello, Comrade Ding. The commander has said hello. You can just sign and go in."
“Okay, thank you!”
After signing the registration book, Ding Guo went to Pei's house carrying two net bags.
The old man was out for a meeting and would not be back in time for lunch. Only Aunt Zhang was there. She had received the old man's instructions and cooked a meal. She also bought some local specialties from the capital. She asked Ding Guo to take the letter she had written last night away and conveyed the old man's words, saying, "The chief said he might not be able to come back in time to see you off. I'm sorry. I hope you will remember to come to our house for dinner next time you come to the capital."
Ding Guo gnawed on a piece of braised pork ribs and said with a smile: "Aunt Zhang, Grandpa Pei is too polite. Work is important. I am with my colleagues. What does it matter whether I am sent or not?"
Aunt Zhang smiled and gave her another bowl of soup. She asked about their communication and continued chatting while they ate.
After dinner, Ding Guo talked with Aunt Zhang for a while, then picked up his things and left.
Pan Dingfeng, who had just returned from outside, saw from afar Ding Guo carrying something out of the compound and walking towards the bus stop.
Pan Dingfeng paused while pedaling his bicycle, his expression slightly changed: "Oh no! She went to our house after all!"
I didn't see clearly what Ding Guo was holding in his hand before, but after a quick glance, I thought that Ding Guo carried something in and carried something out. It was so obvious that Ding Guo must have come to visit and was driven out by my parents. He didn't even want the things that Ding Guo took. My parents must be very angry.
"Didn't you greet the security guard? Why did you let anyone in?" Ding Nianjun was a little confused, and also a little annoyed that the security guard didn't give Ding Feng face.
Pan Dingfeng was also a little angry and rushed to the guard and asked loudly: "Didn't I tell you before that you can't let anyone in casually? Why did you let someone disturb my parents? How are you on duty?"
The guard was stunned by the scolding, but he still saluted Pan Dingfeng before saying, "Comrade Pan, I didn't let anyone in casually. There are no guests visiting the Pan family today."
Pan Dingfeng was stunned for a moment: "Didn't the female comrade who came when I left go to my house?"
Ding Nianjun added: "It's Ding Guo. Comrade, could you please check where Ding Guo went?"
The guard saluted her and said, "Excuse me, comrade, you are not authorized to view the visitor registration information!"
Ding Nianjun's face turned red and white, and he looked at Pan Dingfeng. Pan Dingfeng explained in a low voice: "We really don't have the right to check it. Our father can, but..."
But since Ding Guo was not going to his own home, he did not want to alarm his father, for fear that his father would bring up old issues again.
Dingguo is now a taboo word in the family.
If he wants to find out, he has to ask someone else for help, but those who have the authority to check are cadres at the same level or higher than his father, and they have to live in this compound. Once he checks, his father will definitely know.
She returned home with a lot on her mind. The atmosphere at home was normal. When Pan's mother saw her son and daughter-in-law coming back, although she didn't want to give her daughter-in-law a good face, she still asked, "Did you get the test results? How are they?"
Ding Nianjun lowered her head and stroked her belly, saying affectionately, "Don't worry, mom. The baby is very healthy."
Mother Pan snorted coldly: "As long as she's healthy, it's good. But if the birth date is not right, the neighbors will inevitably gossip about our family again."
After saying that, he wiped the corner of his eldest son's mouth and said, "Take your eldest brother to walk around the compound and exercise. Nianjun also needs to exercise more often so that he can have a smooth delivery when the time comes."
Ding Nianjun's face froze, and his hands hanging by his side clenched slightly.
She didn't want to appear in the compound with this silly uncle, she felt it was embarrassing, but she hadn't established herself in this family yet, and Dingfeng hadn't finished her work, so she might have to rely on her parents-in-law in the end. She had no choice but to agree, and smiled as she went over with Pan Dingfeng, took her uncle's hand, and went downstairs for a walk.
In the evening, Pan Dingfeng went to find his two childhood friends and asked them to help find out why Ding Guo came to the capital.
Sun Dongliang: "Is it your sister-in-law?"
Gao Jiaye stood up for his good brother and rubbed his hands together, "Fuck, let's beat her up."
Sun Dongliang: "You are out of reach in Fengning, so you can only ask for help. But asking for help is not enough. Now that she has come to the capital, to our territory, it will be easy to catch a little girl."
When he saw Ding Guo that night, perhaps because he was dazzled, this thought crossed Pan Dingfeng's mind. He wondered if Ding Guo really came to the capital, would he help?
Just as Sun Dongliang said, Fengning is not his own territory after all, and there are bound to be omissions when asking others to do it for him. But it is different in the capital, this is his own territory, and he doesn't believe that he can't deal with Ding Guo personally.
But thinking about the recent turmoil at home, I gave up the idea.
The house can’t stand any disturbance now!
When he heard his friend mention this, the seeds of hatred sprouted again. His mind became active again. Finally, he slapped his knee and said, "First, find out why she came to the capital and see how long she can stay."
"Leave it to us two brothers. We will definitely avenge you." Sun Dongliang and Gao Jiaye patted their chests and promised to take the responsibility.
However, before the two of them took any action, the fact that Pan Dingfeng invited people to dinner was exposed by Pan’s father.
Qian Zhongjun met Pan Yuanzheng today and mentioned it casually, saying that it is difficult to find a job nowadays. It is not that he does not want to help the child, but he hopes that Pan's father will forgive him.
Pan Yuanzheng was confused when he heard this. He asked about the situation in detail and became so angry that his eyes turned black.
The Pan family is now so miserable that they want to behave themselves. That prodigal son actually used his connections to help Ding Nianjun find a job.
Pan Yuanzheng didn't want to waste any more favors. He hoped to use the little favors he had left where they were needed most, rather than on trivial matters like helping his daughter-in-law find a job.
So, at the dinner table that night, Pan's father got very angry and scolded Pan Dingfeng severely, and even slapped his son in anger.
Pan's mother was also very unhappy. She felt that it was Ding Nianjun who instigated this. She spoke coldly to Ding Nianjun in a sarcastic tone, telling him to stay at home and take good care of the baby. Their family could afford the food rations for a pregnant woman, and they could worry about the rest after she gave birth.
As for the problem that Ding Nianjun cannot stay in the capital for a long time because his household registration is not there, they can find a way to solve it.
Anyway, this daughter-in-law has to be kept under her nose to prevent her from instigating her son behind his back and causing trouble.
After being scolded, Pan Dingfeng thought about the troubles he had brought to his family recently because of his impulsiveness, so he gave up the idea of using his connections to help Ding Nianjun find a job. When he returned to his room at night, he advised: "Why don't you just listen to your mother first, stay at home and take good care of the baby, and then ask your parents to help you arrange it after you give birth."
Ding Nianjun suddenly felt hopeless. She didn't want to stay at home. With a mother-in-law like that and an uncle who needed care, how could she take good care of her pregnancy?
Since she was not allowed to do her job, Ding Nianjun changed her mind and took the opportunity to cry and beg, hoping to move out with Pan Dingfeng. Pan Dingfeng was softened by her crying. He also knew that his mother didn't like Nianjun and had a cold face every day. Not to mention that Nianjun couldn't stand it, he felt depressed and agreed: "Okay, I'll use my work time to go out and look for her tomorrow... Oh, by the way!"
"What's wrong?" Ding Nianjun raised her tear-red eyes and looked at him and asked.
"I know whose house has a vacant house. It's definitely not possible today. I'll get off work early tomorrow and visit Mr. Pei to see if I can rent his yard."
Ding Nianjun: "Mr. Pei?"
Pan Dingfeng said softly, with a barely perceptible envy in his tone: "Well, Grandpa Pei is the highest leader of our Capital Military Region, and the Pei family... is a wealthy family that our family couldn't even compare to in its heyday!"
Ding Nianjun's heart suddenly heated up: "What is the relationship between the Pei family and our parents? Can we..."
Pan Dingfeng knew what she wanted to say, and shook his head to interrupt her: "Don't think about it, it's not easy to invite people with connections to the Pei family."
Ding Nianjun: "I'll go with you tomorrow night."
Seeing Pan Dingfeng remained silent, she said coquettishly, "Okay, I'm going to live in a compound in the future, so I have to get to know my neighbors. You have to explain some relationships to me clearly, so that I don't offend anyone again without knowing it."
Pan Dingfeng thought about it and said, "Okay, I'll take you there tomorrow night."
While the couple was chatting late at night, Ding Guo and his colleagues from the factory squeezed onto the train, struggled through the crowd to find their seats, and the group sat down in the crowded crowd.
"It's too crowded!" Zheng Guihong sighed, "There are still so many people catching the bus at night."
Take an overnight train to Wuxin, and then transfer from Wuxin back to Fengning.
The waiting time for the transfer was a bit long, and we couldn't buy tickets for the nearest trip, so Deputy Director Su took everyone to Wuxin Park for a stroll and took some photos, which could be considered a public-funded tour.
Zheng Guihong and her friends also went shopping in the department store here.
However, after seeing the Capital Department Store, I was no longer surprised to see the Wuxin Department Store, which is a size larger than the Fengning Department Store.
I just strolled around but didn't buy anything. The little money I had was already spent in the capital. I bought fashionable clothes and shoes from the Capital Department Store, as well as local specialty preserved fruits and pastries. I came to Wuxin Department Store just to check in.
When Ding Guo arrived at Fengning in the afternoon, he saw Ding Dayong waiting there as soon as he got out of the station.
"sister!"
Zhang Yueju asked Ding Guo: "Is that your brother?"
Ding Guo smiled and said, "Yes, he's my cousin, but he's closer than my own brother."
Ding Dayong's one arm was not very convenient, so he used his other hand to take the things in Ding Guo's hand.
Ding Guo was still surprised: "Why are you here?"
She didn't send any telegram back.
"Xiao Hong said that her sister works at the Second Food Factory. She knew that your work was over, so she came back today."
Ding Guo suddenly realized that before leaving, she asked Xiao Hong to help take care of the injured person in her family. Well, she was thoughtful!
Ding Guo said goodbye to the factory leaders and colleagues, and went to the bicycle storage to pick up the bicycle. Ding Dayong said: "Sister, take me!"
Ding Guo: ...
This naughty child shouldn't be praised.
Of course, she didn't want the injured man to carry her and cause secondary damage to his arm. It was not worth it.
Ding Guo hung as much stuff as possible on the handlebars and took his silly brother home.
On the way, Ding Dayong said, "Sister, there is your letter and pick-up slip, sent from the army in the south. Is he your friend who went to the countryside as an educated youth? Did he return to the city by joining the army?"
Ding Guo thought about it. Anyway, her relationship with Pei Che was confirmed. She also met a family member of the man this time. Although the old man did not mention her relationship with Pei Che, Ding Guo could feel from his attitude that old man Pei knew about it. So, it was time to tell this silly brother. She cleared her throat and said, "Ahem, they are not just friends."
Ding Dayong was puzzled: "Why is it still not pure?"
Ding Guo smiled and said, "My boyfriend, your future brother-in-law."
Ding Dayong almost slipped off the back seat: "Sister, when did you find your partner? Did you really meet him in the countryside?"
Ding Guo: "This is a long story. I will tell you in detail later."
After taking a short rest after arriving home, Ding Guo picked up the package before the post office closed. By the way, he called Xiao Haifeng at the post office and asked when the letter would be delivered to him. Xiao Haifeng invited him to come over in the evening and have dinner at his home.
After returning home from the post office, Ding Guo opened the package and sorted it out along with the specialty cakes he brought back from the capital. He packed out two portions and said to Ding Dayong, "I'll make you some porridge later, heat up these sesame paste cakes I brought back from the capital, and open a can of meat. You can have a meal tonight."
Ding Dayong laughed foolishly: "Sister, this is called making do, this meal is so delicious."
It was the first time for him to eat something called sesame paste biscuits, and it was also the first time for him to eat canned meat.
Ding Guo didn't expect Ding Dayong to come to pick her up at the station. She didn't find a chance to take out the roast duck in the space in advance, and it was even more difficult to take it now. Well, let her eat it alone, this child who has no luck in eating.
In the evening, Ding Guo rode his bike to Xiao Hong's home to give her some special products from the capital and thank her for taking care of Ding Dayong over the past few days.
On the way, he also packed two bags of red dates from the space, put one in the things for Xiao Hong, and the other for Xiao Haifeng.
Xiao Hong: "Sister Ding Guo, I won't be polite with you. I'll treat you to a meal some other day."
"Don't be polite. It's my turn to treat you. Dayong said that you've been running errands a lot these past two days. According to the amount he specified, you must have paid for it, right? I'll make up the difference later."
"Not bad, just right." Xiao Hong said, "Sister Ding Guo, I won't be polite with you. If it's too much, it's too much. If it's too little, it's too little. You don't have to give me any more. I didn't give you any change."
Ding Guo didn't calculate the details with her. She thought Xiao Hong should have contributed some money, but since Xiao Hong said so, she could just find some money from other places.
When we arrived at Xiao Haifeng's home, Xiao Ling was also at home. She was very concerned about the exchange and learning situation.
Their Second Factory will not be included this time, but they also want to listen to Ding Guo's talk and broaden their horizons.
Song Guiying was worried when she saw what Ding Guo brought this time.
This time more than ever.
Xiao Haifeng smiled helplessly and waved his hand: "Stay!"
Ding Guo didn't come to ask him for help, and they had been working together for such a long time, and there were some complicated relationships involved. The benefits he had gained from this were already incalculable, and a little bit of the capital's specialty was nothing.
He asked his wife to make two sets of winter cotton-padded clothes for Ding Guo, and other rewards... Ding Guo had no plans to transfer jobs for the time being. The food factory was also very nice to Ding Guo and made an exception to allow her to participate in this exchange meeting.
The reason I knew it was an exception was because my daughter suggested it. Normally, such learning and exchange opportunities would never be given to newcomers. It was only because Ding Guo made special contributions to the factory that she was given the opportunity.
Working in the food factory in full swing...Oh, he remembered what his niece had said about his cousin Ding Guo.
Originally, except Ding Guo, he didn't like other members of the Ding family very much, let alone help to transfer jobs. But the niece said that Ding Guo valued her cousin very much, even closer to her than his own brother. The niece has also met him and he is a very nice person, hardworking and studious. He even learned to assemble a bicycle by himself. It would be a good idea for him to help Ding Guo transfer her cousin.
Ding Guo thought about it and didn't refuse.
In human relations, there should be give and take, and only then can the cooperative relationship last long.
Xiao Haifeng made some gains in Qi Guangming's case. People wanted to return the favor, but he kept refusing. This was pushing the relationship and favors away, and there was no room for alienation.
"Uncle Xiao, I thank you on behalf of my brother. When there is a chance in the future, without affecting you, I will let him personally pour you wine and tea to express his gratitude." Ding Guo said gratefully, and then expressed his thoughts, "Let my brother remain as his escort."
Ding Dayong blocked the stick for the driver. The master driver remembered the favor and started teaching him how to drive, but it was unclear whether he could truly become his apprentice.
After all, Ding Dayong is just a temporary worker. After accepting this apprentice, the master has to consider helping the apprentice to become a regular employee. How could he not be resentful?
Now that Ding Dayong can be converted to a regular employee, people have one less thing to worry about.
Ding Guo doesn't want to disrupt this rhythm, but he can promote it.
When I got home that night and told Ding Dayong about it, he was so happy that he almost jumped up: "Thank you, sister, do I need to buy something to thank Xiao Hong's uncle?"
"You'll have a chance. No need to come and thank me specially. Once you are officially hired, you can use your strength to help the master chef, but you must know when to stop and control it yourself."
"Got it sis!"
Ding Guo added: "After you are officially promoted, you can go back to your hometown and transfer your household registration."
When talking about changing his household registration, Ding Dayong became excited again, his eyes turned red with excitement.
After changing his registered residence, he became a real city worker!
The next day, after Ding Guo went to work, the workshop deliberately took time out to let those who participated in the exchange and study tell other people in the workshop about what they had seen and heard. In the afternoon, Ding Guo applied for materials and planned to copy a few pastries and make a few puff pastries.
Dingguo is investing in experimental research and development of new products.
capital!
Pan Dingfeng brought Ding Nianjun to Pei's house.
Ding Nianjun looked at the detached small building which was even more imposing than the previous one owned by the Pan family, and his thoughts were in turmoil.
Dingfeng said that the Pei family was not easy to win over. Although his parents had tried to show goodwill over the years, the relationship was still neither close nor distant and only remained on the surface. Old Master Pei was too stubborn.
Ding Nianjun felt that everything depended on human effort, and her parents-in-law must have not found the right approach.
After entering the room, she behaved extremely well and did not show herself too much. She just listened quietly to the conversation between Pan Dingfeng and Mr. Pei. Even though Mr. Pei politely declined their request to rent a house and even refused to accept the gifts they brought, she did not show any unhappiness on her face. She just politely apologized for disturbing the old man.
After the couple left, Mr. Pei shook his head and muttered, "The Pan family's daughter-in-law is not a simple-minded person. Pan Yuanzheng and his wife will have a headache in the future."
No wonder his future granddaughter-in-law fell into the hands of this adopted daughter before. Who wouldn’t be confused when facing such a daughter?
Confused and stupid.
Pan Dingfeng didn't see what his wife was thinking, but he was very satisfied with her performance. He didn't flatter her or fawn on her too much, and his politeness was just right.
His parents should really come and see Nianjun’s upbringing and see if he is worthy of being the daughter-in-law of the Pan family!
He said, "The old man said that the yard belongs to Brother Che, and he can't make the decision for his grandson. I will call Brother Che's unit tomorrow to ask."
"Brother Che...is he in the army?"
Pan Dingfeng nodded, with a complicated expression. It was hard to tell whether he was envious or jealous, or both. He said, "You are already a group leader at such a young age!"
Ding Nianjun: "Is the Pei family willing to put in so much effort?"
Pan Dingfeng looked around and whispered, "Don't talk nonsense. Brother Che was promoted on the front line. He went through life and death several times and made great achievements in battle. He is a well-known soldier in the army! If it weren't for Mr. Pei not wanting Brother Che to be promoted too quickly, he would be more than qualified to be a brigade commander with his military achievements..."
Ding Nianjun quickly covered his mouth and muttered, "I don't know. I thought... the brother Che you mentioned was connected through family connections. Can you tell me more about it?"
Pan Dingfeng said: "I should tell you that there are some things that cannot be said carelessly. In this compound, it is better to offend Mr. Pei than to offend Brother Che..."
The next morning, Pan Dingfeng called the Southern Military Region from his unit and contacted Pei Che.
When Pei Che heard that the call was from the capital, he thought it was his own grandfather, but he didn't expect it to be Pan Dingfeng.
What was even more unexpected was that Pan Dingfeng wanted to rent his yard. Pei Che raised his eyebrows: "Your family is not short of housing, right?"
Although Pan Yuanzheng was demoted and his position was badly damaged by Guoguo, the army still gave him some face and allocated a considerable amount of housing.
Pan Dingfeng: "Housing is not in short supply, but I still want to move out after getting married. Brother Che, your house..."
Pei Che smiled faintly and said, "I'm sorry, that's my wedding room. I'm going to use it for my wedding. I don't plan to rent it out."
If I rent the house to Pan Dingfeng, does he want to die?
"Getting married? Brother Che, are you going to get married? Where is your sister-in-law from? When you come back one day, I will bring my wife and treat you and your sister-in-law to a meal." Pan Dingfeng was surprised. He had never heard that Pei Che was looking for a partner.
Pei Che twisted his mouth: "Let's talk later, I'm hanging up first!"
He doesn't dare to make the decision on such matters, he has to ask for instructions!
After hanging up the phone, Pan Dingfeng looked a little unhappy: "What do you mean by say more?"
He invited people to dinner, but it sounded like they were not willing to come.
Holding his temper, Pan Dingfeng made a number of phone calls. He did not dare to ask his family for help, but instead asked his former classmates and comrades-in-arms to help him find a house.
Ding Dayong didn't wait too long. A week later, his unit called him over to go through the formalization procedures.
People in the unit also asked him openly and secretly why they had never heard of his connection with the Revolutionary Committee before. Ding Dayong did not show off and behaved very low-key.
Afterwards, I returned to my hometown to transfer my household registration.
Ding Guo knew that his arm had not yet healed and he could not carry too many things, so he sorted out the extra enamel pots and towels at home, bought a bunch of cakes, and took some dry goods that Pei Che had sent from the south. He also stuffed two hundred yuan into his pocket and asked her to give it to Aunt San.
Ding Dayong didn't want to take the money, so Ding Guo slapped him on the forehead and said, "I gave this to my Third Aunt as a gift, not to you. I won't give it to you if you want it."
Ding Dayong said with a sad face: "My mother definitely won't want it. She will definitely beat me to death."
"Beat him to death first!"
Ding Dayong: …
In this way, Ding Dayong boarded the train back to Huiyang.
