Chapter 106

Hundred Family Rice

After coming out of the supply and marketing cooperative, Lu Baili insisted on giving Chen Lina a handful of candy.

Chen Lina took it, and then paid fifty cents on the counter. Fifty cents for a bunch of candy, so it was considered clearing the deal.

All the salesmen of the supply and marketing cooperative stood outside the door, as if seeing off a leader, and said in unison, "Director Chen, welcome back next time."

"Aunt, you don't know, when we usually go to the supply and marketing cooperative, the salesmen are so arrogant with their faces turned up and breathing out through only their two nostrils. I don't know why, but when you go in, they become straightforward and polite, as if they have honey on their lips."

"Xiaohong, Oh Bu Sitian, you have to know that the world is not too snobbish now, but it will become more and more snobbish as you grow up. You are at the top of the society, and all you see are smiling faces and enthusiasm. You are at the bottom of the society, and all you see are cold eyes and bullying. This is a change in values, but for now, there is no other way except to work hard to improve yourself and make sure you don't become that kind of person." Chen Lina said.

"You clearly know that Lu Baili is also Zhao Donglai's accomplice, but you are still so enthusiastic about him, Comrade Xiao Chen, you are so hypocritical." Comrade Xiao Nie has always been very sharp when criticizing others.

Chen Lina stopped the car, turned around, and explained seriously, "Comrade Xiao Nie, although your father and I have always taught you to be honest, hypocrisy is inevitable in life. I didn't mention Lu Baili in front of Section Chief Feng today, so you may be angry.

But I have to tell you, the bad things Lu Baili did were far more than just deceiving a few lonely elderly people and bullying a few children. If you take this little thing to Chief Feng or Public Security Yu, at most they will give her a few words of admonition, which will not be of much use. We must uproot the weeds. I, Chen Lina, remember her account, and there will be a day to settle it. "

Xiao Nie stuck out his tongue. It was obvious that the back seat of the car was so spacious that Liu Xiaohong was squeezed into a corner.

Whenever Liu Xiaohong felt hot, he would lie down immediately and say, "Oh girl, I'm carsick. Sit up straight and let me lie down for a while."

Liu Xiaohong thought he was really carsick, and she kept touching his forehead and asking him if he wanted to vomit or open the window. Girls, you have to be gentle, but Xiao Nie was so angry that he kept yelling that he was uncomfortable.

As soon as the car arrived outside Base No. 1, they saw Wang Hongbing driving a tractor on the road from a distance. The back of the tractor was full of mature grape trees. Liu Xiaohong immediately called out, "Auntie, stop the car, stop the car, my dad is here."

As soon as the car stopped, she got out and ran a few steps, turned back and stuffed something into Chen Lina's hand, a pair of brand new white sneakers, and walked towards Wang Hongbing's tractor.

"What did she give you?" Nie Weimin asked Chen Lina curiously.

"Girl's Heart, do you want it?"

"You clearly said that you would never mention this again." Comrade Xiao Nie's pride made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles. "You are a mother after all. How can you always joke about this with your son?"

Seeing Xiao Nie blushing, Chen Lina stopped joking and said, "What she gave me is something for women, so don't be curious. However, from now on, use your limited life on meaningful things.

Do you want to be like your dad, who can build a car like this for me to drive, or do you want to be like Wang Fan, who is ordinary and doesn't even have the courage to save himself at the critical moment? Think about it carefully, is it okay? "

Comrade Xiao Nie will certainly never forget the scene of the father and son working in perfect harmony, fighting together for a whole night, and watching a plane roaring down in the morning light.

Moreover, his father is his best role model.

Ye Gong is as self-disciplined as a machine, which is the cornerstone of his success today.

When they arrived at the base and parked the car, Xiao Nie opened the door and ran away.

"Dandan, where do so many rabbits come from?" Nie Weimin was shocked when he saw Sandan carrying two rabbits on his back.

"Uncle Wang led us to hunt." Erdan carried four on his shoulders. "This one is for Qian Goudan, and this one is for Captain Qin. We can just eat two."

Chen Lina has always said that rabbits are not domestic animals and can only be eaten occasionally to satisfy hunger, not as a main meal, so the three children were very happy to catch a rabbit, and every family could have one.

"This is for Uncle Ha. It's my wedding present to him. I'm a 21-year-old widow, feeling depressed and listless. I'm thinking about how miserable my life is. I've committed the sin of wearing a white skirt since I got married..." Sandaner, carrying the rabbit on her back, nodded and sang like a young wife.

"Sandan, who taught you to sing this? It's really ugly. Don't sing it anymore." Erdan said, and then he roared, "The Wusuli River is long and long, and the blue water is rippling with waves..."

As he was singing, a rabbit was brought to the door of Harbin Institute of Technology.

The Ha mother had just received her new daughter-in-law, a young widow from the farm, and was teaching her how to make traditional cheese of the Ha people. She took the rabbit and said, "Xiao Chen, I have to tell you that your Erdan is a great singer. We Ha people love singing and dancing. I'm not lying to you. Other people sing in a timid way, with only their voices moving. But Erdan is not like that. Look at him, every hair on his body is dancing. He is a real singer."

When Erdan heard this, he decided to pull the biggest and fattest rabbit from Sandan's waist and give it to Hamama.

"Brother, this is specially reserved for mom to eat."

"Well, mom still has this one of mine, right?" Erdan sang even louder when he heard someone praising him.

"You Erdan, you can be trained to be a singer in the future." After work, Chen Gong was standing outside holding the black little Doudou, and he said this.

Qian Gong was also outside, so he said, "Yes, I also think Erdan can become a singer."

Erdan yelled, "Uncle Qian, we hunted this rabbit, it's for you."

"Chief Engineer Wang and these two kids caught these rabbits. Anyone who sees them can share. Let's share them. Also, I have to say one thing..." Chen Lina paused, but attracted the attention of those who were standing outside chatting after get off work in the evening.

Generally speaking, the workers at the base are accustomed to hanging out and chatting after dinner. The reason why everyone was outside after work today was, of course, to discuss the matter of Wang Fan and Chief Engineer Wang.

In just a few days, the rumors were out of control.

Some people said that Wang Fan raped the educated youth, without thinking about whether a 14-year-old boy had developed. Others said that the educated youth seduced him.

In short, in this poor era when there was no television, spreading juicy gossip was everyone's greatest hobby.

"Wang Fan was acquitted, and the crime of hooliganism in our mining area has been abolished. Comrade Yu Donghai from the Public Security Bureau told me that it is nothing for a man and a woman to date for two days before getting married, or for a young man and a woman to meet and chat privately. Wang Fan's mistake was that he hid a banned book, but one day of detention was already a serious shock for this mistake he made.

This rabbit was shot by Chief Engineer Wang. Everyone gets one. After eating, we go to his house. Our entire base is a collective. People often say that a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. We are not natives here. Even if we are relatives, we are still separated by mountains and seas. When we have difficulties, everyone will ask neighbors for help. This kind of thing happened to one family, it is not accidental. After all, everyone has children, don’t you think?"

Chen Zili was holding a rabbit, and he thought that he also had two copies in his possession, but he had not been caught by the security team, so he immediately said, "Come on, Qiangong, let's go to Chief Engineer Wang's house and have a chat."

"I have another bottle of Erguotou from Niulanshan. Take it and let's drink it together."

"I'm afraid his family hasn't prepared any food. Wait, I have some peanuts at home. I'll ask Tiantian's mom to fry them and we can take them with the wine."

Word spread from one person to another, and almost all the men in the mining area came out and went to Chief Engineer Wang's house.

In the evening, when the lights were bright, Chen Lina finished cooking the rabbit. While the children were eating, she also prepared two cold dishes and quietly brought them to the door of Chief Engineer Wang's house. She looked from a distance and saw that all the men were in the yard.

It was a real dish from a variety of cuisines, and everyone shared a piece.

Chief Engineer Wang cried like a child, carrying a bottle of Niulanshan Erguotou to drink. The young man Wang Fan sat next to his father, and Nie Weimin was comforting him in a low voice like a little adult.

Oh, what is education? Sometimes education is not just about preaching. The various aspects of life, joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, are the best way of education for growing children.

"Did Liu Xiaohong sew this sanitary belt for you?" It was late in the evening and the worker had just had two drinks before coming back. There was a faint smell of alcohol in his nose and his eyes were brighter.

"Now she has a new name, Sitian," said Miss Chen.

"Oh, it's more comfortable to call it Xiaohong. I'm not used to calling it Sitian. It looks good, soft and fluffy." Nie Gong said when he saw Xiao Chen carrying that thing.

"We have plenty of cotton, don't we? Look at what she did. She sewed the cotton inside a cloth bag, took out the cotton string after use, threw it away, and then put new cotton in. It's much better than the old way of washing with cotton all the time."

Oh, Miss Chen's skin is already white enough, and it's even whiter when she takes off her clothes, just like milk. Moreover, she is neither fat nor thin, neither gained too much nor lost too little. When she kneels on the kang, after all the hard work, she feels a little itchy to learn oil painting.

It would be so beautiful if I could draw this.

"Can you not look at it? Are you ashamed? What's so good about a woman wearing this?"

"I don't know why, but when I see you wearing this, I become more sexually interested. Your figure is really worthy of the goddess Athena. Gold 618, come here and I will explain to you what the 618 dividing line is." Nie Gong said very honestly.

Before his hand could slide to her waist, Chen Lina cried out that it was itchy and rolled to the side.

On the days when the aunt came to visit, Ye Gong was always particularly enthusiastic and tried every way to say a few words to amuse Miss Chen. But there was no other way. Seeing her laughing so happily, he had to endure the toothache and the urge to shoot the apricot tree fork with his shotgun and say a few gentle and considerate words. Who would ask her to listen to them?

For this reason, I have recently placed a book of Shelley and a book of Byron on my desk, studying while criticizing them in my heart.

The effect was of course very significant. As Miss Chen ate snow lotus and listened to sweet words, her skin became smoother and her figure became more beautiful. She also paid more and more attention to her children.

Of course, since she herself has fertility problems, she wouldn't have the same worries as Chen Lili.

In short, holding Miss Chen in his arms, Nie Gong felt a mixture of emotions.

Sometimes, he would think, how great it would be if Miss Chen could give birth to another child for him, so that he could have a little girl in the family.

But when he thought of the noise Chen Lili made while holding her daughter, the worker was scared away.

"To be honest, a neighbor is worse than a distant relative. Of course, I have to thank you, Miss Chen. If you hadn't made a special trip to the mining area, Chief Engineer Wang would have been dead. He just told me that he wanted to commit suicide. Weijiang kept sitting outside the door crying, and as he cried, he didn't want to die anymore, so he took out all his anger on Rabbit."

"If you can get through this kind of thing, it's not a big deal. If you can't get through it, it's not because you're a coward. I've experienced it once. In my previous life, Nie Guozhu also committed a hooligan crime. He just took a copy of "Girl's Heart" home."

"It would be meaningless to talk about Nie Guozhu now, right?" Nie Gong let his wife go.

Who knew that his wife kicked him and said, "Don't tell me, I have two pieces of news, one good news and one bad news. They were all delivered by the postman Xiao Wang in the evening. Which one do you want to hear first?"

"It's bad news." Nie Gong actually knew what was going on and became serious all of a sudden. A rational person would choose to reveal the bad news first.

"Your fourth sister, wasn't it said that ABO hemolytic women can't have children? She got pregnant again, and she secretly carried the baby for eight months, and then gave birth to a dead baby. Look at what the second brother said in this letter. Her head was as big as a basketball. Then, the guy in Zhaojiazhuang didn't want her anymore and sent her directly to Niejiazhuang. Your parents took her to the provincial capital. She is now living in Hongyan Provincial People's Hospital. I don't know if she can be saved. Huang Guilan wants you to see her for the last time."

As Chen Lina spoke, she handed the letter paper to the worker.

He turned over and sat up, put on his glasses, looked around, and said, "The problem is so serious, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Is it because you always rejected the letters from your hometown that your second son sent to me?"

Nie Gong thought about it and realized that it was true. "I heard recently that they are already carrying out land reform. The second brother's family has many daughters, but he is now the village party secretary. I got him to let him go after some roundabout ways. Huang Guilan also has a part-time job in the Women's Federation. I think her salary is enough. I told Xiao Wang directly that any letters from my hometown should be rejected."

Now, he didn’t even know that a girl almost died in Hongyan.

"After all, she is your blood sister. If she really died, you probably wouldn't be able to not see her."

"I wrote no less than 100 letters to my fourth sister. In order to prove that ABO hemolysis makes it impossible to have children, I wrote at least 50,000 words of sketches and papers. Xiao Chen, do you know that I spent at least 7 full-time working days to study her disease? During this time, I should have been accompanying the children or helping you with housework. At the very least, there was a mountain of work waiting for me to complete. She herself did not appreciate it, so what could I do but not go?"

There is no humanity here, Nian Gong. If you want to have a child, you must have a body first. What's the point of having a child without a body?

Well, after being pregnant for seven or eight months, the baby is stillborn and now she is in the hospital. So he has to waste his time to see a doctor. Isn't this immoral kidnapping?

"Well, there is good news."

Miss Chen looked at the furious worker and said, "I don't know how it happened, but when the second child took the fourth sister to the provincial capital for medical treatment, they actually ran into your classmate Bao Manli, who was also seeing a doctor there. They probably knew each other after chatting, and Bao Manli published the incident in the newspaper at the time."

Ye Gong is now like an atomic bomb. All of a sudden, the roots of his hair stand on end, and he is alert all over, just like a wolf in the jungle.

"Then, when the leaders of Hongyan heard that it was your sister, they installed a full set of oxygen machines in the cadre ward for your sister. Then, the leaders of Hongyan even specially prepared a plane ticket for you and asked you to go and express your condolences."

But this so-called good news is simply a death warrant for the workers.

He was furious and took the letter of introduction in disbelief. It was indeed written by the leader of Hongyan. It was a passionate letter, and there was also a letter of introduction from two adults and three children just in case their whole family had to take a plane.

There is an international airport in the bunker. Although there are planes flying in the sky all the time, after all, only the leadership or those who are urgently summoned from above can ride on them.

"Okay, now that things have come to this, let's go back. It just so happens that our big yard has been returned to its original owner because my father was rehabilitated. Leng Qi sent me the key and asked me to go back and take care of it when I can. Let's go back, and you can also go and get to know the family and take a look at our old house." Nie Gong suddenly remembered something, so he took out the key to his old house from the study and handed it to Chen Lina.

"It's said that we'll take a military flight from the Burrow to Dongfeng City, and then to Hongyan. Nie Gong, I've lived so long, and I've never heard of a Dongfeng City in our country. Do you know where Dongfeng City is?"

"Not far from you. When we were on the border, wasn't there a man who got off the train there while chewing roast chicken and biting his toes?"

"You said Jiuquan, how can it be Dongfeng City?"

"This is the same as 404. It is a strictly confidential address that cannot be passed on to others. You are not allowed to mention it to outsiders from now on."

Chen Lina thought to herself, Oh my God, I’ve lived two lifetimes and I never knew there was a Dongfeng City in the Republic.

"What about the children? Should we take them all with us?" Chen Lina thought for a moment and then asked.

Suddenly, she noticed that when the worker rubbed the letter paper, his eyes wrinkled violently.

Oh, he flipped to the biggest surprise that Chen Lina received today.

Yes, classmate Bao Manli said that when she heard that Nie Gong was coming, she contacted classmates who were currently working in Hongyan, Daqing, Inner Mongolia and other places, and prepared to hold a grand class reunion. This time, he absolutely could not break the appointment.

Just when Nie Gong was thinking about using work as an excuse to avoid the class reunion as usual, Bao Manli wrote in the following line: "The leadership has specially approved you to take a day off for the class reunion."

Engineer Nie smiled and turned to look at Miss Chen.

Miss Chen's gaze was like a steel knife that kills without shedding blood. "I've been traveling with you, and this is my first time to have a gunfight.

Needless to say, in order to surpass the fork in the apricot tree in his previous life, the laborer has to achieve his goal even if he has to cut himself into a human stick.

As for the children?

Nie Weimin always went to bed the latest, so after comforting Wang Fan for a long time, he finally slipped over the wall and came in. He just happened to hear Chen Lina asking Nie Gong what to do with the children, should he take care of them?

His ears pricked up like a cat, and he started to listen stealthily.
