Chapter 113

Yesterday Again

Today I came out with Taizhuzi, and of course the band was listening to Taizhuzi.

Bao Manli deliberately made things difficult for Chen Lina. She heard that Chen Lina had only studied in college for one year. In order to prevent her from singing a popular song like "I Contribute Oil to the Motherland" or "We Workers Have Power", she specifically told the band not to bring any music scores for popular folk songs.

In this era, they are among the very few people who can go abroad and have a large number of European and American pop music scores.

Therefore, Bao Manli instructed the band to play the simple scores of European and American music that have become popular in recent years.

Of course, I just want to embarrass Chen Lina.

Little girl, a woman who has lived in the frontier all year round and picked cotton on the farm, gave you a bunch of simple European and American pop music, and asked you what else you would sing and dance to.

"Bo Zhao, your lover is drunk. He is not going to act crazy on the stage, is he?" Bao Manli said.

He Min is used to praising both sides, and she said, "Manli's dancing is so stunning that it's inevitable. Let's not talk about Lina, she is a beauty in the mining area. As for her singing, when I was at the farm, I often heard her humming "The Young Widow Goes to the Cemetery", and her humming was quite interesting."

Hey, the drunken classmates became interested when they heard it, and immediately applauded, "After the elegant, there is the vulgar. Have fun at today's class reunion, classmates."

This requires extreme efforts to make Chen Lina lean towards vulgarity.

Liu, a student from the Yimao Factory, originally had a good impression of Chen Lina and was considering helping her connect with machines and technical personnel if she were to open a textile factory in the border area.

After all, she had just graduated from college. When she heard that Chen Lina was going to sing "The Young Widow Goes to the Cemetery", she closed her mouth and started shaking her head.

This is so vulgar that most people can't eat it.

Nie Gong listened to the music of the Western orchestra and saw Chen Lina holding the microphone, clapping her hands slowly while half drunk and half awake. Then he thought about Sandaner singing "The Young Widow Goes to the Grave" with his head swaying all day long. He took off his glasses and wiped them with a glasses cloth, thinking that it was a combination of Chinese and Western music. The orchestra was playing "The Young Widow Goes to the Grave". He was going to be very embarrassed today.

But it doesn't matter. As long as Miss Chen is happy, he will lead the applause later.

"No matter what she sings, Leng Qi, give her some face and applaud loudly." Nie Gong did not forget to instruct Leng Qi.

"Great!" Everyone applauded before the song even started.

"As young, iotdlistentotheradio. Aitgfor, itadesile, thoseeresuchhaytis..."

She tried the tune, and Lao Zhang had already raised his thumb, so she sang again "everyshaeveryootostillshes..."

Yesterday Again.

The old-school university students of the Technical University all know English. The lyrics of this song are from when I was a kid, listening to the radio, waiting for my favorite song. When the song played, I listened quietly, with a happy smile on my face...

It is indeed a classic old song, singing about the happiness of childhood and also the sorrows of the past.

Wang Lei was confiding to Director Liu about his dissatisfaction with work and life.

Chen Lina's singing voice is not particularly professional, but this song is calm, carrying a touch of sadness about memories and the past. Her lazy and hoarse voice instantly made Wang Lei's tears burst out of his eyes.

Those who were drunk or pretending to be drunk, all sat up straight, even Bao Manli's eyes were red.

Probably, everyone has his or her own bitterness. Looking at the old classmates who were once glorious and vigorous but are now gradually entering middle age, one feels a lot of emotions, reminiscing about the past and feeling melancholy about the glorious years.

Director Chen moved a chair and sat on the stage, crossed his legs, and sang slowly and leisurely. After singing for a while, he walked off the stage, first walked to Bao Manli, rubbed her and kissed her hard, then walked over and kissed Director Liu again.

Wang Lei stood up, waiting for the beautiful woman's kiss.

Of course Miss Chen couldn't kiss a man, so she generously gave him a hug and sang as she did so. Nie Gong took off his glasses and continued wiping them, thinking that it was enough. Miss Chen, if you dare to hug Leng Qi, I would really get jealous.

Who knew that just when Leng Qi stood up and opened his arms to hug her, Miss Chen pretended to be drunk, stumbled, and stepped on his foot with her high heels. Ouch, it twisted violently. Only Leng Qi himself knew how painful it was.

"Director Liu, I will visit your Yimao factory tomorrow. Once the site for my factory is selected, I will ask you to go on a business trip at public expense to show us the location and we can select machines together, okay?" Director Liu's face was covered with lipstick marks from the kiss, but Chen Lina forced him to agree to this.

"Chief Engineer Wang, you Daqing Light Industry Factory must produce the best machines for us. If you can't do it, I will come to Daqing to find you."

Needless to say, Wang Lei stuttered, "Commander, I promise to complete the task."

"If you have the chance, you must come to our border to play, classmates. When you come, I will personally cook a big plate of chicken for you." Miss Chen, who is good at dancing with long sleeves, sent off the last guest and then lay in the arms of the worker. "How is it, does your wife make you proud?"

"Long, this face has grown to the moon." Nie Gong said from the bottom of his heart.

"I sang this song to you in my last life, and you cried when you heard it," said Xiao Chen.

This kind of class reunion was like a natural disaster to Nie Gong. His wife was drunk and his children were nowhere to be found. After helping Chen Lina look around, the hotel staff explained that the two children had been sent back to the guest room to rest because they were sleepy.

Nie Gong carried his wife back to the room. He saw that the suite was quiet and knew that the children had gone to bed long ago.

The more he recalled the tune of the song, the more stunning it seemed to him. He put Miss Chen on the bed and turned on the desk light. Then he felt that something was missing, so he held her in his arms like a child.

He took off his glasses and held Miss Chen in his arms like a child, recalling the tune of the song with his powerful brain.

Because I was interested, I wrote down the score and recalled it in my mind while sitting there holding my wife.

It is true that, as the saying goes, the lingering sound of the music lingers in your ears for three days. Good music will linger in your brain after you hear it once, and it will never stop.

Really, why didn’t he realize earlier that Miss Chen not only has the ability to make people laugh, but also make them cry.

She laughed because she was happy from the bottom of her heart, and cried because she wanted to vent completely. In her previous life, Lao Nie treated her like a treasure.

Because he had lost his child, his future, and nothing else except money. And she was the only source of happiness he could grasp after he had nothing.

This woman is like a child when she is naughty. It really makes people wonder what to do with her.

"Dad, is she a child? Why are you holding her like this?" Nie Weimin's voice scared Nie Gong, and he almost jumped up.

"Wei Min, what time is it? Why aren't you asleep yet?"

"You didn't even close the door, why can't I come in?" Xiao Nie pouted and said, "I have a new situation, do you want to hear it?"

The worker became excited when he heard this. "Oh, tell me about it."

"After you left, two waiters came in, one after the other, both saying they were delivering food. The first one was just delivering food, but the second one came in and searched everywhere. When he left, he took away the wiretap that was originally placed here."

"Oh, good news. Come on, let's track its frequency band."

Tracking and anti-tracking, you want to eavesdrop on me, and I want to catch you. This is what Nie Gong and his son like most besides work and study.

"He's an expert. It seems the eavesdropping device was destroyed as soon as it was taken out." After searching for a long time with headphones on, the worker said with regret.

"Do they want to eavesdrop on your work secrets, or do they want to protect our old house?" Nie Weimin said.

"Dad doesn't know either, so we have to track him back." Nie Gong put away his headphones and said, "Okay, you should go to bed quickly. Let's pack up and go home."

Xiao Nie still refused to leave. "You didn't tell my mother where the rest of your family's property is hidden, but I tell you, I know where those things are hidden."

Nie Gong became interested again when he heard this. "Oh, then tell me, our yard has been visited so many times by so many people, openly and secretly. Where is it hidden? Why can't they find it?"

Xiao Nie pointed to a place and said, "They are stupid."

As soon as Nie Gong saw where he was pointing, he knew his son really knew. "A good father will have a good son. You are my good son. Go to bed quickly."

Xiao Nie rubbed his head, turned around and walked for a while, then said, "Oh, don't hug me anymore, you are so cheesy."

Nie Gong is really being criticized. I have nothing to say.

She had to hurry up, visit her fourth sister, go to the wool factory for an on-site inspection, and buy some velvet, khaki, and cool cloth from Hongyan that were not available in the frontier. Miss Chen made her three children dizzy, and the laborer had to rush through two days of work until

Originally, Hongyan was going to throw it away after use and let Nie Gong take the train back, but Nie Gong couldn't agree to it. He could take the train for a few days, but Xiao Chen couldn't.

So Nie Gong shamelessly went directly to the big leader and said that I could take the train but my family had to take the plane, otherwise I would not be able to work for Hongyan in the future.

So, we can finally take a ride on the broken plane again.

Here, Leng Qi was still in charge of the pick-up and drop-off. After sending Nie Gong and his family to the plane, he stood on the runway of the airport and looked up at the plane flying into the clouds.

"Hey, Minister Leng, you should drive away. There may be planes approaching the runway at any time. It's very dangerous." said the ground crew.

Leng Qi moved his feet and raised three fingers. "My soul has fallen away. Let me stand for another three minutes. I have to find my soul back."

Erdan was so frank that he didn't know what to say. Anyway, he couldn't smell the kerosene, and no matter how much he bounced and swayed, as long as the stewardess was willing to take him, his stomach was like a bottomless bag that could hold anything.

When he got off the plane, the beautiful stewardesses waved and said goodbye to him.

Moreover, they stuffed Sandan with a lot of small breads, and Sandan gave them all to him. It can be said that this was the happiest time since I can remember traveling with my parents.

However, Miss Chen was not happy because, thanks to the workers, He Min also boarded the plane with them and talked all the way about the importance of speculation in this era of rectifying chaos.

To be honest, he was working in the plastic factory, and even though he was suppressed by the factory manager, he still secretly resold a lot of plastic washbasins and plastic sandals.

However, workers in all factories are facing this situation now. This is the general environment. The factory is not making any money, but the small leaders have made themselves rich first.

As for the workers and members, they are still living a hard life.

"Xiao Chen, if you really want to open a textile mill, it should be led by the leaders of our mining area. You'd better not do it secretly in the farm. Be careful of being caught and having your capitalist tail cut off." He Min said.

"I will tell my leader what I want to do myself, and do I need you to say hello?" Chen Lina asked back.

He Min then said, "Then take me with you. I can find a way to find money for you. Let me tell you, Manli is already 34 years old. At her age, the career of a dancer is basically over. I am going to propose to her, but I have no money in my pocket and I don't have the confidence. Let's make money together. When we have money, I want to propose to Manli, too. What do you think?"

Chen Lina thought to herself, I think you should just eat shit.

She said, "Don't you think that a world-renowned dancer like Bao Manli would marry you and come to our barren mining area?"

"Why can't she marry me? I already have a son, and I don't ask her to give me another son. Besides, my salary is not low, and she can be assigned a job after she retires from the group. We are going to get married, and it won't be worse than you two."

"Yuan Hua couldn't help you get pregnant with a second child, so you rushed to divorce her. Bao Manli never had a child, but you were eager to marry her. He Min, I really don't want to say a word to a man like you."

"No, if you want to leave, give me a ride. I have to change buses in Ulu. How can you just get in the car and leave?" He Min said, leaning on the window.

Nie Bozhao was now a very good driver, so he didn't need Miss Chen to drive. He locked the car door in advance and said, "He Min, if you say Bao Manli wants to marry you, I don't believe you. Just walk back slowly by yourself."

"Why, things are different now. When you asked her to come to the mine, the mine was like this. It is like this now. Old Nie, you don't understand, so you missed the opportunity."

The laborer stepped on it with all his might, and the three eggs all shouted angrily, "Dad!"

"Comrades, don't believe what your Uncle He says. You have to understand one thing. He is our enemy. He aims to destroy the unity of our big family. We must unite against the outside world and not be fooled by the enemy's sugar-coated bullets. Fasten your seat belts." Director Chen was even more thoughtful. Before he finished speaking, the three children all sat down.

"Chen Lina, I, Nie Bozhao, really only focus on work and scientific research. If I were like He Min, do you think I would have been bullied to death by these three guys?" He finally understood that if he and Chen Lina had a quarrel one day, none of these three would stand on his side.

As soon as I got home, I realized that I had been away for several days and the spring wind was so strong that the house was almost covered by soil.

Chen Lina has to take care of hygiene and the laborer has to go to work.

Nie Weimin called Erdan out mysteriously and asked, "Do you want to go to the farm?"

"I do, but we don't have a bicycle. It's thirty miles away. Isn't that too far?"

Nie Weimin waved his hands confidently and said, "Don't be afraid!"

He was also carrying a large basket woven with barley straw, which contained bread from the plane, boxes of yogurt, small socks with small florets brought from Hongyan, and clothes that Chen Lina bought for Liu Xiaohong. He took Erdan out of the family area, ran forward, and quietly hid under the office building.

Now there are two cars at home, and refueling is free. Chen Lina likes to drive off-road, and most of the time, she drives the old jeep, but as for the original Red Flag, the worker would drive it occasionally when he went to the oil well, as long as the road was easy to drive.

Therefore, the old Hongqi is basically parked under the office building. Although it is an old car, Xiao Zhu and Xiao Wang wash it clean all day long and keep it shiny.

Xiao Nie got into the car, rubbed his hands, took out the spare key and started the car.

"Brother, you don't really want to drive, do you?"

Xiao Nie's legs were short, so he moved the seat forward as far as possible, until he was holding the steering wheel in his arms, and said, "There's no one in the office building today, so let's go back and forth quietly, and no one will know."

When we were about to leave the gate, the security team was careless and only saw that it was the worker's car. They didn't even look at who was in the window and let us out.

Nie Weimin tried turning the car twice, stepped on the clutch, and changed gears. By the time he found the fourth gear, he had mastered the car. Ten minutes later, he was already outside the farm.

Liu Xiaohong washed her own hair and gave her sister a bath. She held her sister in her arms and sat on the big roller to braid wheat stalks while listening to a group of women gossiping. The little sister was very cute and would laugh when she was teased. After a while, Liu Xiaohong kissed her.

The women all said, "Look at how well behaved Xiaohong is. She takes good care of her little sister."

Chen Lili just smiled and said nothing. There was nothing she could do. She preferred to be vain and liked others to envy her. Xiaohong was always the best in the whole farm in terms of study and hard work. That was her pride.

"Hey, Lili's family is still the best. I saw you had big white steamed buns yesterday, but my family has been eating porridge for half a month." said Wang Guanghai's wife from the production team one.

Chen Lili smiled proudly, "That was all saved by Wang Hongbing for me. Besides, I am a good girl. Whenever I go to my sister's house, I never go empty-handed. I always bring something for my father and mother, and they also give me something."

"Really? We work so hard every day, and even have to weave straw braids when we have some free time at noon. When can we eat fine white flour every day like the workers?" said Sun Zhenxing's wife.

Wang Guanghai's wife said, "That's enough. Farmers are destined to suffer hardship even after liberation. Let's wait for the children. I can't let my little soldier be a farmer anymore. I have to make him a worker."

"My aunt said that she has a three-year military warrant, and if she can't make everyone in the mining area out of poverty by next year, she will no longer be called Chen." Liu Xiaohong said with a smile, "Don't worry, she will make sure that everyone can eat white flour by the end of next year."

Erdan suddenly appeared out of nowhere and was dragged away by Liu Xiaohong.

"Erdan, don't pull me. Look, my sister is about to cry. Besides, there's nothing good to see. I won't look at it. I won't eat anything delicious. I don't care about food..."

Halfway through the conversation, they turned around a poplar forest and saw Director Chen's old Red Flag parked at the back door of the farm. A young man stood in front of the car with one hand on his waist. He waved to Liu Xiaohong and whistled at her.

Just by looking at the tall and thin figure, the red lips and white teeth, and the hair that had been grown long, Liu Xiaohong was reminded of the little hooligans she always encountered when she was studying in the mining area.

Nie Weimin still thinks he is very beautiful. He hasn't seen her for several days. He just came back from Hongyan. Miss Sitian has grown a lot taller, with long flowing hair, just like the little girl on the postcard.

He was just about to insert the goodies he brought back from Hongyan, when Liu Xiaohong picked up a piece of dirt from the ground and threw it directly on Nie Weimin's head. "You are so young and you drive recklessly. Just wait, I will complain to my aunt tomorrow. Nie Weimin, you are dead."
