Jiang Henian was led out of the production team office by He Jinshan, holding half a meat bun in his hand.
She tilted her head and stared at the thin paper with a red seal in He Jinshan's hand with her big eyes.
Judging from his expression, he was completely stunned.
He almost bumped into Ding Guangsheng who had just come from the side room, but He Jinshan grabbed his shoulder and quickly avoided him.
"Hey! Nian girl! Are you lost? You almost lost your uncle."
Ding Guangsheng's words were abruptly interrupted when he saw the two people's intimate posture. His voice suddenly stretched out, and his eyes widened under his glasses, "What are you doing--"
"Director Ding, can you lend me your bicycle?" He Jinshan pointed at the bicycle leaning against the courtyard wall and interrupted him.
Ding Guangsheng immediately forgot what he was about to say and waved his hands to drive the person away.
"Go away, you must be joking! Can you just borrow a bicycle? It's a Forever brand! I can't bear to ride it even a few times."
He Jinshan pretended not to hear and stuffed two yuan into his shirt pocket. "I'll return it this afternoon."
He took Jiang Henian, who was still in shock, and lifted him up to the back seat with one hand, then slid his long legs over to the front seat, stepped on the pedals with his insteps, and rode away on the brand new 28-inch bicycle.
"Hey—you kid!"
Ding Guangsheng chased after him for a few steps, lowered his head, took out the money and took a look at it, then raised his voice and grumbled worriedly.
"You better be careful with your legs when riding! If you scratch them you'll have to pay for it! This bike costs 180 yuan!!!"
What answered him was a figure that turned a corner and disappeared at high speed.
"You little brat, you're riding so fast!"
Ding Guangsheng cursed, looked away, and flicked the two dollars in his hand with two fingers.
"He's quite generous. It seems that this soldier left some money behind.
Tsk tsk, two dollars~ I can buy a pack of cigarettes this afternoon and a piece of candy for Ni'er, and the rest is my pocket money."
Director Ding, whose wife had just emptied the small treasury hidden in his shoes, was happily thinking about the distribution of the huge amount of two yuan for bicycle rental, and walked into the office with his hands behind his back.
It is called the production team office, but in fact it is just a small room in this old courtyard.
There was only a wooden table and two chairs with armchairs inside, where anyone in the team could sit when they needed to do something, plus a bench and an old wooden cabinet. The empty space along the rest of the wall was scattered with farm tools and supplies.
There are photos of great men hanging on the wall, and various slogans such as "hard work and self-reliance" are engraved on it.
Wang Jianping sat at the table, staring at the seal on the table motionlessly.
Ding Guangsheng sniffed. "What smells so good? Did your sister-in-law bring you something delicious?"
Wang Jianping didn't respond.
Ding Guangsheng waved his hand in front of him in confusion.
"Laoping, what's wrong with you? Are you still thinking about what happened last night? Didn't we tell them to give us three hours? If it doesn't work, didn't the branch secretary also tell us to report it to the police directly?"
Wang Jianping came back to his senses and rubbed his dark forehead. "I wasn't thinking about that. Oh, it must be the meat buns that the girl from the Jiang family ate."
"Meat-filled buns?" Ding Guangsheng turned around in surprise. "How can she afford meat with the two work points she earns?!"
The security director's keen radar began to buzz.
"Suspicious, very suspicious."
Ding Guangsheng paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, an unfathomable look on his face. "No wonder that girl has been so spoiled at work lately and has no motivation to work at all..."
He turned around and lay down on the table. A flash of light flashed across his glasses, as if he had seen through the truth. He said in a veiled manner:
"Lao Ping, do you think the Jiang family has developed some capitalist tendencies? Are they secretly doing something to make money?"
"That's all."
Wang Jianping had a worried look on his face. He reached out and pushed Ding Guangsheng's head away. "Your family ate meat the day before yesterday, and I smelled it. What she's holding in her hand might have been given to her by someone inside."
"No, my family is so poor that we can't even afford to eat porridge, how can we afford meat?"
Ding Guangsheng stood up straight, put his fist to his mouth and coughed softly, changing the subject:
"Who are you talking about? Who is that? That's not right. Why are she and He Jinshan here? I knew something was wrong the moment I saw her. She even rode away with my bike. Oh yeah! She even hugged me in front of my waist!!!"
Wang Jianping said blankly, "I'm here to get a marriage certificate."
"Oh, getting married—what?!!"
Ding Guangsheng was so shocked that he almost bit his tongue. He covered his mouth and gossiped: "The two of them???"
"Aren't they that..."
At this moment, there was a noisy commotion outside. After a while, the place was almost in chaos because of the Jiang family who had been chasing them all the way.
"Laoping! How could you do this!"
For the first time, Jiang Chengmin slammed the table and yelled at Wang Jianping, his face red.
"Jiang Henian is my daughter! I, as her father, didn't even know about it and didn't agree. How could you just stamp your approval?"
Before Wang Jianping could even open his mouth, Wang Chunfang rushed forward with her eyes wide open, grabbed him, and yelled:
"This doesn't count! This is outrageous! That damned girl is a money-loser! She even decided to get married without even notifying her parents! Don't even think about it!"
Jiang Yanqiu was breathing rapidly, his face was pale and blue, he even pulled off the towel covering his face, and shouted angrily at several people:
"No!!! How can that adulterous couple get married?! If they get married, where will my face be?! They should be arrested and shot!"
"Mom! Mom! Calm down, Captain Wang's arms are red, stop hitting them... Dad! Dad! The table is about to fall apart... Second sister, second sister, stop screaming, stop screaming, calm down first, there must be some misunderstanding here, third sister is very sensible..."
Jiang Jirong was confused and tried to persuade and comfort others, but was pushed around the room by the three angry people and almost bumped into Ding Guangsheng.
