Chapter 107

By plane

"If not, let's leave it at the farm and let your parents take care of it. We can go alone and come back quickly. I have a lot of work to do here and my leader is in poor health. I want to make more contributions in the laboratory so that I can make him happy when I go to Beijing at the end of this year."

"It's a busy time on the farm right now. My parents go out early and come back late to earn work points. If we send three children there, they really can't take care of them. Besides, they have never been on a plane before, so why not take them out for one?"

Little Nie was very happy when he heard this. He thought that his mother was the best after all, as they had never been on a plane before.

Feeling sweet in his heart, Xiao Nie covered his mouth and smiled quietly.

"I'm mainly traveling with three children. They need food and drink along the way. I'll have to book two hotel rooms. Hongyan will definitely host them. But as long as the provincial government hosts them, I can tell you that there will be a large number of physics experts waiting for me to teach them physics, chemistry experts waiting for me to teach them chemistry, and mathematics experts waiting for me to teach them mathematics."

"I don't want to spend your money, so why not let the kids stay in a hotel? I'll pay for the accommodation for this trip."

"The leaders of Hongyan will let you pay for it, and they will arrange all the schedules. They wish that there would be someone to clean my butt when I go to the toilet, and they just want me to use all my time with them."

"Can you please not be so vulgar? Just take it with you. I will serve you tonight."

Unable to listen any longer, Xiao Nie quietly dozed off and slipped back to his small bedroom. However, he could not contain his surprise, so he woke up Erdan and said, "Nie Weiguo, behave better tomorrow, and we may be able to take a big plane."

"Really?" Erdan turned over and sat up. "Why?"

"I don't know. Anyway, Dad doesn't want to take me, but Mom does. If I behave well, I'll definitely be able to go with them. They're planning to go on a trip to Hongyan."

"Needless to say? How about I get up now and sweep the yard?" Big airplanes are flying in the sky all the time. Who wouldn't want to ride on one? After riding on it, you can probably brag about it for a year.

"That's too much. Let's pack our luggage quickly, but we still have to get up tomorrow morning and behave like we're going to school. If they really want to take care of us, they'll ask for leave for us." Nie Weimin said confidently.

When they woke up the next morning, Mr. Nie was in a good mood and Miss Chen was also smiling.

Sandan knew nothing about it. He woke up in the morning and was very noisy. He opened his mouth and asked his mother to brush his teeth for him.

He is in the process of changing his teeth recently. Unlike Nie Weimin who would use his own slingshot to pull out his teeth, Erdan can just pull out his teeth with his hands. He asks his mother to massage his baby teeth every day.

Oh, after pressing it for a while, he cried and finally picked one off. When he threw it onto the beam, the whole family had to celebrate together.

I brag to everyone about how beautiful my little milk teeth are.

"Shut up, Nie Weijiang. If you dare to ask your mother to brush your teeth again, I will no longer protect you from now on." Erdan said.

"Go brush your teeth, then wash your face clean with soap. Come, I'll rub it for you." Nie Weimin said, and rubbed Sandan's face with a towel. Wow, it was so clean.

Sandan wanted to hum again, but his two brothers glared at him at the same time, and the frightened child dared not to hum anymore.

"Mom and Dad, it's time for us to go to school." Nie Weimin said after carrying his schoolbag.

"Look, these three children are not a burden at all. They are so well-behaved. Take them with you." Chen Lina said to the worker when she came out of the kitchen.

Then, she said, "Okay, you don't have to go to school today. I'll go to the elementary school to ask for leave. When we pass by the mining area, we'll go to the middle school to ask for leave. Today, your dad is going to take you to ride a big plane."

The worker then said, "Okay, let's pack up quickly. We have to get to the Fort Diggers Airport before twelve o'clock and then head to Hongyan."

Erdan threw his schoolbag to the side and went out carrying his and Nie Weimin's luggage.

I learned this from Nie Guozhu. I rolled up a few small pieces of clothing and hung a toothbrush holder on the side, which contained a rolled-up towel and toothbrush. "Report to the commander, we are ready."

"Are these kids really so obedient nowadays that it took them less than five minutes to pack the gifts?" Nie Gong asked in confusion.

Nie Weimin said nothing, changed into his brand new canvas shoes, it was spring, narrow pants, white shirt, and a grass green military uniform, put his hands in his pockets and said, "We are not only obedient, but in our opinion, Miss Chen is the most beautiful woman on earth, no doubt about it."

"If you want to go, just say so. Comrade Xiao Nie, you've been too sweet lately!" Miss Chen said as she picked out clothes for herself.

"Do you think that only because you are beautiful can you perfectly defeat Miss Bao? I don't think so." Xiao Nie is just like a lackey. If the Qing Dynasty was still alive, he would definitely be able to become Li Lianying.

“After all, the play ‘Dream of Dunhuang’ starring Miss Bao is a must-have cultural gift for leaders when they visit abroad, and all the sketches of the dance ‘Dream of Dunhuang’ were said to have been drawn by Miss Bao alone, which proves that she is very, very good.” Xiao Nie read all this in the newspaper, in order to create a sense of crisis for Miss Chen.

"To tell you the truth, your aunt is sick. It is said that she has undergone several blood transfusions and is now in the Hongyan Provincial Hospital. We are here to see your aunt. She is dying. Don't think about these messy things." Xiao Chen reminded him.

Xiao Nie touched his nose, unable to digest this for a moment, so Chen Lina handed him the letter and asked him to read it himself.

Going out now is really like raising a small team. Apart from Miss Chen taking time, the three sons hardly have to worry about anything.

"Auntie Wang, has Tiantian gone to school? Why isn't she going with us today?" Nie Weimin asked when they were about to send the little rabbit to Tiantian's house.

Sister Wang mentioned Rabbit, who seemed a little depressed. "She has been in a bad mood recently. I don't know what happened to her, but she left with Xiaohong. Don't worry."

My sister has become an old rabbit, with long hair and fat, and she looks very old.

Sister Wang took it over, and Erdan reminded her, "Auntie, don't let Jinbao eat our sister."

"It's too old for Jinbao to eat. This is probably the oldest rabbit in the mining area. Be careful when driving on Xiaochen Road."

"I will, Sister Wang. Goodbye. Help my family take care of the yard."

The Burglar International Airport was, of course, a far cry from the last time Chen Lina came here. But watching the large planes coming and going, the loading bays, and the moving belts was enough to make the children drool in amazement.

"Mom, is this the big plane we are going to take? It's really huge." Sandan thought he was taking a train and was afraid that he would get lost, so he held Chen Lina's hand tightly.

Erdan held the red plane ticket, which was printed with Tiananmen Square, portraits of leaders, his date of birth, name, even the address of his school, and the names of his parents. Everything was clearly marked.

I was so excited.

However, this is not a civilian airliner, but a military aircraft. Not only are the seats worn out, but there is also a strong smell of kerosene on the plane.

Moreover, the cabin of this type of military aircraft is not pressurized. The moment of takeoff is so painful that people wish they could die.

Once in the air, the whole plane was shaking with clanging sounds. It was even worse when it encountered air currents, with the plane shaking up and down. No one on board felt comfortable. Almost all of them fastened their seat belts, looking as if they had left the secular world and didn't care about life or death.

You know, Maotai is still served on airplanes nowadays. The in-flight meals include Chinese, Western, and even steaks that the three Nie brothers have never seen before.

But, except for Erdan and a few other men who looked strong, even the worker closed his eyes in discomfort.

Little Nie, who thought he could ride in a car without getting dizzy and could help his father generate a radio on a 180k car, was completely paralyzed. He was not vomiting, as he did not eat much and could not vomit, but he was just uncomfortable, his little face was pale, and he lay in Nie Gong's arms without moving.

Erdan was eating happily. Later, he saw that there were also soda and juice. He ordered a glass of peach juice and a glass of soda. He heard that there were also cola, so he wanted one too.

Nie Weimin occasionally brushed past Erdan's mouth, and he spit out a loud "wow".

Chen Lina also felt how uncomfortable airsickness was. She rubbed her head. Ah, the new lipstick, the permed hair, and the smell of kerosene on her body. She felt that she would be shaken into a dustbin by the time she arrived in the provincial capital of Hongyan.

I hope Miss Bao won’t be too enthusiastic and won’t wait to pick me up at the airport.

In that case, she has already lost before she even gets the chance.

"Dad, look at those uncles, they are still very young, why have all their hair fallen out?" Nie Weimin looked at the uncles in blue work clothes sitting in front of him. He could see that the stewardess respected them very much and asked them from time to time if they wanted water.

These people were all smiling and seemed to know each other, but they didn't talk to each other, nor did they say a word to the flight attendant.

Perhaps they were also very curious about the sudden appearance of another child on the plane, especially Erdan who was wolfing down his food while Sandan sat beside him and asked for soda and bread with a smile on his face. These fair-skinned and cute kids were so cute that people were willing to take a few more glances at them.

When they were in transit at a place, someone stood up first, walked over, shook hands with the worker, saluted, and left.

So one after another, people who were about to get off the plane came over to shake hands with the worker and saluted before getting off the plane.

Nie Gong also patted them on the shoulders one by one, and said with a smile that they would talk again when they met next time.

"Dad, do they know you?"

"I have countless cousins, and they never come to visit unless it's important..." Chen Lina snorted and said, "Your father is playing Red Lantern for us."

Ye Gong is not from that system, so of course he does not have as many taboos as they do.

Pointing out the window, he said, "In our Republic, there are a group of people who work in places that are even more difficult than our Umayyad. When they die, they don't tell their parents, wives, and children. Even if they die, their parents, wives, and children may not know about it until a long time later. Even husbands and wives work in the same place, but in different factories. They only know each other's work when they meet by chance under a tree. It is because of these people that we have nuclear bombs and hydrogen bombs in space today, and our motherland can stand up completely, do you understand?"

"So you really know each other, but you don't communicate, right? Then why is it that they are still so young, but their hair has fallen out completely?"

"The nuclear industry is strictly confidential. Relatively speaking, even if our mines were bombed, the losses would be limited. But they are different, so they are used to keeping secrets. Also, this industry has its dangers."

Xiao Nie's face was pale as he leaned on the window of the soaring plane and looked down. In the Gobi Desert, there was nothing to see except the straight road. He could not imagine that the nuclear industry and satellite base he longed for were really in this deserted desert.

At Hongyan Provincial Capital Airport, just as Nie Gong had expected, two jeeps drove directly into the airport and waited next to the plane to pick him up.

"I didn't expect Dad to be so popular." Sandan leaned against the window and said, "Mom, look, their sign says that they welcome Nie Gongwei to come to our province to guide our work."

"Fool, that's called li, not wei. You haven't read enough books, so you don't know the difference between wei and li."

"Hey, there's one more. Welcome to Comrade Nie Bozhao, an old classmate from the 1960s class of the Industrial University. He really is your classmate. No, no, I have to dress up."

Miss Chen ran to the restroom, and when she came out, her off-white high heels were finally put to use. Unfortunately, she had no stockings to match them, so she could only wear them naked. She wore an off-white windbreaker, a white shirt, and black pants. Even the stewardesses on the plane couldn't match her outfit.

"Mom is such a beauty." Sandan said, pulling Chen Lina's windbreaker and following closely behind her.

Today, Chen Lina was determined to see if Bao Manli was as beautiful as in the postcard. Of course, she would never give in.

So, when I got off the plane, I wanted to walk in a more charming way to blind the titanium eyes of all of Lao Nie’s classmates.

However, Erdan said, "Mom, I feel dizzy."

"Come on, let me hold your hand."

"Mom, I feel sick and want to vomit." Sandan also said.

"No, no, you can't throw up on the escalator. Come on, I'll hold you."

Oh my god, after getting off the plane, Chen Lina realized that she had completely ruined her image by dragging and hugging.

If Miss Bao was really in the car, we would have to laugh at her and call her a yellow-faced woman.

"Mr. Nie, do you think we should go to the hospital first or to the provincial party committee first? We should go to the hospital first. We will hold a meeting tonight. The satellite recovery we are carrying out at the Winter Wind Satellite Base has now reached the stage of truth-telling. The experts want to see if you can prove it again from your perspective to see if we can make a last-ditch effort. Of course, it would be better if you could go there in person."

Nie Gong had only met the fourth sister a few times, but she was his blood sister after all, so he said, "Okay, let's go to the hospital first and have a meeting tonight."

Chen Lina and her children were riding in Nie Gong's car. As expected, a beautiful woman turned around from the passenger seat and shook her hand. "Hello, Comrade Chen. I'm Bao Manli, Bo Zhao's college classmate. I'm very happy to meet you. I have to say that you are much prettier than in the newspapers."

As soon as Chen Lina sat down, Nie Weimin lay on her lap. I was dizzy. I was really dizzy.

Erdan was fine and could take care of her brother, but Sandan insisted on grabbing her hair and said, "Mom, this is the flower the girl on the plane gave me. Can I put it on your head?"

"Can't."

"Mom, I want to vomit."

"Don't spit on my clothes."

"Mom, I'm not going to throw up, but can I sit on your lap? Look, that plane is taking off again. I want to see it. I want to see it."

Bao smiled very gently and politely, ordered the driver to drive, and sideways looked at the three children in the back who were almost trying to grab Chen Lina's head. He rolled his eyes in his heart and said, "They are so naughty." They were just like the Three Little Monkeys.

"Does Miss Bao have a child? Is the child this old?"

Bao is at least thirty-four or thirty-five years old. Generally, women of this age should have grown up children.

"In order to maintain my figure and for my dancing career, I planned not to have children for the rest of my life. So, my ex-husband and I divorced, with great regret. He needed a housewife, not a revolutionary comrade like me."

"Are you the classmate Bao that my father mentioned? Wow, auntie, you are really beautiful. Did you know that one day my father mistook my mother for you?"

As soon as Erdan finished speaking, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He turned around and saw his mother staring at him with eyes that looked like she was killing a chicken.

He suddenly remembered that this matter should have been kept secret with his father, so why did he suddenly tell it out without a trace?

But Bao is really very beautiful, with fair skin and big eyes that are curved like crescent moons when she smiles. The key is, her eyes are so gentle.

"These three boys are so cute." Her voice was very, very nice.

Nie Weimin pinched Erdan's butt, which was getting thinner and had no flesh left, and said, "Nie Weiguo, you are dead today."
