Chapter 108

Eat Western food

"After so many years, they took the old Chen couple away. I heard that Wang Hongbing is still a production director, and his official position is the same as our county party secretary. Mom, when the eldest brother comes, we have to talk about this matter."

Chen Qiaoqiao was holding a big fat boy in her arms, who looked to be about four or five years old. She had a big chicken leg in her mouth. She took a bite, thought it didn't taste good, and threw it away.

Nie Laoer picked it up and wiped it as if nothing had happened, then started to eat it himself. "That's enough, the eldest brother has been sending money all year round, maybe he is really busy with work?"

"But didn't you hear what the leaders who came yesterday said? Now everyone is free to go to the border, and anyone who goes will receive subsidies. Why can the Chen family go but we can't? His uncle is too outward-looking." Chen Qiaoqiao said again.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing." Huang Guilan said, "My little girl is still unconscious, can you please stop arguing?"

"Dad, what do you think we should do?" Turning around, Huang Guilan asked Nie's father.

In the hospital where smoking is not allowed, Father Nie was still puffing on his pipe. "What should I do? Wait until the boss comes. You all don't say anything. I'll just ask him for the money."

If you were to say the only purpose of Boss Nie in Old Nie's family, it was actually to ask for money.

Nie Laoer and Chen Qiaoqiao looked at each other, understood, and of course shut their mouths.

After a while, a group of leaders came in, escorting Nie Bozhao.

To be honest, Nie Bozhao had no feelings for the Nie family. As for his biological parents, he had no contact with them other than sending money in the past few years. Instead, he glanced at his fourth sister lying in the intensive care unit through the window.

He had seen this fourth sister twice. At that time, she was still a little girl. Now, she was lying on the hospital bed, with sallow skin and dry hair. She had become a middle-aged woman.

The second son's wife rushed out from nowhere and directly put the fat boy born to her six daughters into the arms of the worker. "Uncle, hold him. This is our family heirloom, heirloom, come and call him uncle."

Haha, he really is a big fat boy, no wonder he is called a family heirloom.

At this moment, he was holding an egg cake in his hand and eating it in big mouthfuls.

The worker took it and weighed it holding his breath. He had to admit that Sandan was not so heavy when he was this age. This child was as heavy as a stone.

He turned his head to look at Nie Bozhao and said something that came to his mind: "Uncle, the money you gave us is not enough for us to spend."

The people who came from the province to accompany the workers, as well as the director of the provincial hospital, followed by a large group of people, all of whom spoke without restraint.

But obviously, everyone was stunned for a moment, probably because they didn't expect that the worker's family could be so straightforward.

If I hadn't said it too much in front of the child, would a child of three or four years old really have said such a thing?

"Comrade Xiao Chen, Miss Chen, I have paid you all my salary, but the royalties have to be saved for these three children. I can't go talk to my father alone. If I talk to him, he will definitely ask for money. He is so old and his hands are so rough. If he really wants tens of thousands of dollars, I can't afford it, but I don't want to quarrel with him. What do you think I should do?"

In the hospital bathroom, the worker was so angry that he came to rescue Miss Yu Chen. Obviously, he hoped that she could help him out of the current situation of being morally kidnapped.

"I heard that you mistook me for Miss Bao, Nian Gong. Am I as pretty as Miss Bao in your eyes?"

"When did I mistake you for Bao Manli? That never happened."

"If you say Nie Weimin lied, I believe him. Erdan never lies to me. It's him who said that. So, I didn't know that you and Bao Manli had met privately?"

"If I had the time to meet Bao Manli, I would rather spend it on work, at least to achieve some results, so as to realize the four modernizations and the goal of soaring GDP mentioned by the leader as soon as possible, so that he can feel gratified." said Nie Gong.

He took off his glasses and said sincerely, "You are so beautiful. My four eyes are not enough to appreciate your beauty. How can I look at other women?"

Oh my god, actually Nie Gong rarely even sees Miss Chen, but it is a fact that she is beautiful and she is really pleasing to the eye, so this statement is not a lie.

Miss Chen stared at the worker for a long time with her eyes like x-rays, waved her hand and said, "I think those people from the province understand. They really want you to help them solve their problems. Go ahead, I'll take care of it here."

"Can you find the way to the old home? I'll give you the key. Take the children in to burn some incense for their grandparents and take a walk to let them know that their grandchildren are back."

"I've been looking for it, but I can't find it. I lived there for a long time in my previous life." So, this previous life was a sure thing; it really happened.

The leather shoes Chen Lina wore were the ones the leader bought with his own money.

Of course, this is also her most important pair of shoes, and she will wear it on all important days in the future.

For the sake of the seriously ill leader, and to allow him to truly see the four modernizations before he passed away, she couldn't use these petty excuses to hold back the work of a laborer.

Who says it’s hard to be a hero? It’s the hardest to be the woman behind the hero.

"Why, the eldest brother left after just one meeting? His sister hasn't even seen him yet, how could he leave? Xiao Chen, why didn't you even bring the child with you?"

"Hospitals are places with the most sources of infection. Children have weak immune systems. What if they get infected here?"

"Second son's wife, take Chuanbao to the guesthouse quickly and don't keep him here." Father Nie said quickly.

They are all grandsons, but the grandfather doesn't care about the three older brothers, but he values ​​Chuanbao so much. After all, Nie Bozhao never raised any of his biological sons. Although the old Nie family has been asking for money, the grandfather has probably forgotten what the Dadan brothers look like, and doesn't care at all about what they look like. Chen Lina could tell from this small detail.

"Eldest brother's wife, I heard that you are in charge of the eldest brother's money now?" Father Nie asked while still smoking his pipe.

"Not really, but I take care of the child."

"Look, his fourth sister is now lying in bed. The hospital said that the money can be owed first, but we can't afford the hospitalization fee. The money has to be paid by the eldest brother."

"I will contact the attending doctor and the dean about the money for Fourth Sister's illness. We will take care of it. You don't have to worry about it. But Dadan's father also said that he would only save this time, risking his own life to give birth to a child. If Fourth Sister dares to give birth again in the future, her life or death will have nothing to do with him. If someone doesn't value his own life, no one else can save him."

"How can you say that? That shameless man from the Zhao family is shouting that he wants to divorce your fourth sister because she can't have children. How can you still say that?" Father Nie was very angry. What's more, he also discovered that the identity of his eldest son was very special.

The more special a person's identity is, the more sensitive he is to his reputation.

Father Nie knew that his son was concerned about his reputation, and his daughter-in-law didn't dare to break up with him, so he directly stretched out his hand to open the money. "It's not enough to just pay for the medical expenses. We have to take her home and take care of her health. Besides, she probably won't be able to get married. What should she do if she stays at home? She still needs money to take care of her health. We are a big family, and the eldest son can't just watch and do nothing, right?"

Well, you want money after all.

Huang Guilan hid in the corner, thinking that her husband was indeed more capable than she was. Every word he said was like a silver needle that hit the target.

"Tell me, I don't want much, just 8,000 yuan. They must have this money. Look at how rich the boss is now. He's about to hurt his back."

Huang Guilan only looked at the beige windbreaker on her daughter-in-law. She knew from the material that it was very valuable, so they must be rich.

"Dad, you are too cowardly. Fourth sister's child is for the Zhao family. My mother is still working in the Women's Federation in the village. Why doesn't she ask the Zhao family for money? Fourth sister is not a machine for making babies. How can you treat her like this?"

"No, she can't give birth to a fully formed baby and no one wants it anymore. What can we do?"

"Just give me a copy of Fourth Sister's letter of introduction, and I will handle this matter. I will sue that Zhao guy for bankruptcy, otherwise he will have to pay for the hospitalization fees and compensate Fourth Sister some compensation." Chen Lina said.

After she finished speaking, she was ready to leave. Father Nie suddenly thought something was wrong and said, "No, eldest son's wife, you have to help us solve the problem. Look, the six daughters of the second son are about to go to school, and I have a treasure in my family. We have to move to the city together..."

"Why, it turns out that the twenty dollars that Old Nie gives you every month is not enough?" Chen Lina turned to ask Old Nie.

It was already late at this time, there was no one in the corridor, and the lights were flashing.

"It's not that it's not enough. We need a lot of money now. First, we can move to the city, and second, we can let our daughters and Chuanbao go to school." said Father Nie.

"Dad, let me tell you this. I can help you solve the problem of your fourth sister, but we won't give you money. First, Nie Gong still has parents, they just passed away. Second, when you inherited him, you signed a contract and put your fingerprints on it. For fifty dollars, you will not care about his life or death from now on. You are no longer his parents. If you didn't want to talk about money, I wouldn't say anything about it. Now that you brought it up today, I will say a few more words.

After the incident with Fourth Sister, he absolutely will not give you money anymore. If you really don't agree, let's meet in the People's Court. You bring the evidence that you need him to support you, and I'll bring his indenture and household registration book, okay?"

"No, eldest brother's wife, why are you not talking about morality? We are from the same hometown, right? We introduced him to you, didn't we?"

"Dad, I call you dad because of morality. We are willing to take care of Fourth Sister's affairs, but Nie Gong will absolutely not give you a penny from now on. If he dares to give you money again, I will tear his face off."

Having said that, Chen Lina turned around and left.

Hi, Huang Guilan also chased out, and she and Father Nie stared at each other for a long time. Finally, Huang Guilan clapped her hands and said, "This spicy thing is even hotter than before."

"What should I do?"

"How would I know what to do?" They looked at each other, and both of them were at a loss.

Back at the hotel, Chen Lina pushed the door of the suite arranged by the provincial government and walked into the room. Three naked guys, without any clothes on, started playing in the bathtub.

As soon as he saw Chen Lina coming in, Nie Weimin rushed into the inner room like a monkey that had been released to look for his underwear.

The son has grown up and he should avoid things that need to be avoided. Chen Lina pretended not to see it and turned around and went to the inner room.

I sat down at the small tea table by the window and took out a small card. Hmm, it was a few tickets for a performance at the People's Theater not far away.

The ticket has a picture of Miss Bao with a graceful figure printed on it, and it is a very rare color print, which further highlights the bright clothes Miss Bao is wearing.

You have to know that this is an era when a postcard costs fifty cents, so a ticket stub is extremely valuable to most people.

"Why are there so many things? Wow, moon cakes and cakes. But Erdan, why don't you eat them?" Chen Lina asked when she saw Erdan was busy putting on his underwear.

"We can't accept the enemy's sugar-coated bullets." Erdan waved his hands firmly and quickly explained, "Mom, you have to believe me. In my opinion, you are really more beautiful than Bao."

Chen Lina smiled and said, "For a woman to live in this world, being pretty is important, but it is not the most important thing. If you can learn to wear panties all the time, your mother will think that it doesn't matter if you are not prettier than others."

"Really, Mom? I'll put it on now." Erdan said.

Chen Lina took advantage of the situation and grabbed Nie Weimin's ear, pointed at the water on the bathroom floor and said, "You are the eldest brother. If they fall down or break their heads, how are you going to explain to your two younger brothers here, with glass countertops and marble everywhere?"

Nie Weimin was only wearing a pair of shorts, and he stood there with his head down, holding his hands over his shorts.

When it comes to admitting mistakes, young Nie is always much more honest than old Nie.

After Miss Chen came, the driver who brought her in also walked in and sat in the hotel lobby. He was wearing shiny new leather shoes, had a crew cut, was about 1.80 meters tall, had a firm and resolute look, and looked mature, steady and handsome.

After a while, the former uncle of the laborer, He Min, came in happily, carrying two roast chickens. "Minister Leng, according to your instructions, I went out to buy some things and prepared to send them to the children. What do you think?"

"Flowers go with beauties, and swords go with heroes. He Min, our Director Chen wants the most beautiful flowers. You can go to our military compound and pick them. After picking them, send them to the song and dance troupe and have Bao Manli personally pack them and send them over. I'll give you two roast chickens if you can afford them."

"In the military compound, you mean the peony and the peonies?" Now is the time when these two flowers are in bloom. "I'm afraid it's not good. Can I just pick them randomly?"

"I don't like anything I bought. Just tell me it was Leng Qi's order and bring back the best ones for our Director Chen."

"Have you met Director Chen?" He Min asked with a smile.

Leng Qi smiled and said, "Luckily, I just brought her back with Manli. I was the one who picked her up from the hospital and brought her upstairs."

He Min pointed at Leng Qi and said, "How was it? We had a good chat, didn't we? She's a good talker. You guys admire Hua Mulan who appeared in the New Youth Daily. I can't compare to her in eloquence."

"Don't worry, he was sitting in the back and never looked forward. He just thought I was a driver." The deputy director of the logistics department of the Hongyan Military Region turned out to be someone's driver.

He Min then turned around and ran out to pick flowers again.

She heard someone knocking on the door. Well, Chen Lina thought it was Nie Bozhao coming back, but it turned out to be a bouquet of flowers, and behind the flowers was the face of the scumbag He Min.

Among all the people Chen Lina knows, this guy is the one she doesn't want to see the most.

But his smooth talk and sweet words were the most fluent among anyone Chen Lina had ever met.

"Beautiful and generous Miss Chen, in this era of rectifying chaos, your arrival has brought the Awarguli from the frontier to Hongyan. Here, this is something the leaders of Hongyan Province specifically asked me to give to you."

"Flowers can't be eaten. I made an appointment with a legal representative. Why are you here?" Chen Lina asked back.

He Min looked confused, obviously having no idea what a legal representative was.

However, he said, "It's like this. Although Nie Gong and I are no longer relatives, we are still classmates. Although this reunion is held in Hongyan, I will be the host. Our Manli was Bozhao's first love and is the undisputed school beauty. She is an artist and is going to perform a newly choreographed dance for everyone at the reunion. She will bring all the musical instruments. Other female classmates gave up showing off their talents because they thought they were not good enough. But all the classmates strongly requested that you perform a program for us. You can't refuse this."

Oh, Chen Lina thought, Miss Bao is really good at this. She is using her opponent's strengths to counter the enemy's weaknesses.

Moreover, what is first love? The clues seem to be getting deeper and deeper. Could it be that Lao Nie really had a first love with Bao Manli?

"I am a farmer, what talent can I perform? Would you like to see radio gymnastics? I can perform a second set of radio gymnastics."

"Mom, I can sing for my uncles and aunts." Erdan never forgets to show off his singing skills. He stands somewhere, throws his shoulders, and is ready to start singing.

"No, no, Erdan, forget it. Other classmates don't bring their children. It's not good to bring children to this class reunion." Everyone wants to steal other people's lovers, so it will be troublesome to bring children.

Erdan didn't feel that he was hit hard. Even if He Min didn't let him sing, he could just sing silently.

"I don't think it's inconvenient to take care of children. If you really think it's inconvenient, you shouldn't invite me. I'm not your classmate. I'm just a family member." Chen Lina said.

"No, no, all of our classmates, including those who work in the provincial government, Jiugang, and even Daqing Oilfield, are looking forward to meeting you. You know, most of them first learned about you from the New Youth Daily. The photo of you smiling in the cotton field instantly made you a goddess for many people. Don't you know that?"

After they were no longer fighting for power on the farm, Chen Lina was able to truly appreciate He Min's ability to promote people, which was simply superb.

A photo that shows him like a martyr dying bravely, or a photo that shows him standing tall and mighty, made him look like a goddess.

"So, you must go, and you have to go. That's it, the day after tomorrow night, in the VIP building at the back, we'll see you there." He Min was an expert at doing these things. After she finished speaking, she almost bumped into the food delivery waiter and left with a smile.

"That Miss Bao

The lackey Nie Weimin pushed the rice in from the hotel waiter. When he opened the lid, his eyes lit up. There were juicy asparagus and a whole plate of lettuce salad. Wow, it was his favorite.

Chen Lina kept muttering "corruption, corruption" in her heart as she opened the dishes one by one. It can only be said that no matter when, there will always be a privileged class that enjoys a completely different life from ordinary people.

What she is thankful for now is that at least those who enjoy these privileges are like Nie Bozhao, whose level of knowledge and contribution to the whole society are worthy of the privileges he enjoys.

I don’t know how hard the laborer had to work to buy these few days of luxurious travel for the four of them, mother and children.

"Erdan, that's lobster. Mmm, Mom has smelled it. It's very fresh. Come and eat it."

"How do you see Miss Bao?

"She originally thought that you looked like the one in the newspapers, a country bumpkin, but she didn't expect that my mother was so fashionable and beautiful, and she was immediately defeated.

Then she thought, "Hey, I can dance, but you can't, so she wants to overwhelm you and attack your self-esteem through dancing." Nie Weimin said with certainty.

"Boy, don't fool your mother. Your mother can sing, dance and write. To be honest, I have performed "Dunhuang in My Dreams" on stage and it was well received. But we are not here to compete with others. Your aunt is still lying in bed. The first thing I have to solve is this matter."

"Is it difficult?" Nie Weimin asked, supporting himself with his elbow.

A little girl who was not even twenty years old nearly lost two lives. Her husband did not show up, but her parents were forcing her brother to pay for the aftermath. It was really a difficult situation.

Candlelight dinner, Miss Chen dressed up specially today, and she looked as beautiful as a painting. "It may seem difficult to others, but with me, it is not difficult."

She can even eat Western food. Oh, she can cut steak with a knife without making any sound.

When Nie Weimin saw that there were two packets of sugar cubes added to the coffee, he thought, take them back, one packet for Tiantian and one packet for Sitian, and give them to them.

But then I thought again, Tiantian has eaten a lot of candy since she was a child, so she must not have any interest in this stuff. Okay, I'll give both bags to Sitian.
