Chapter 122

Leng Qi is here

"Hey, Xiao Chen, you actually came to our armed forces department, welcome." Minister Gao woke up from his lunch break and was about to go out for a walk, but he stopped when he met Chen Lina.

"I'm here to see Yu Gongan. Is he here?" Chen Lina asked.

"Today is Saturday, he should be on holiday and at home, how about I go with you?"

When you are with a beautiful woman, even if you just take a walk together, if you can show a little courtesy to her, you can be happy all day long.

The three Nie brothers followed Minister Gao, and Nie Weimin asked Minister Gao, "Uncle Gao, I heard that you are going to be promoted, is that true?"

"Who is spreading these rumors? Yes, the autonomous region is planning to transfer me to the armed forces, but I can't bear to leave the mining area and don't want to go."

"Being transferred to the mining area's armed forces department is a real promotion. Congratulations, Minister Gao."

"When I arrived at the Autonomous Region Armed Forces Department, I became a deputy. I was used to being a local tyrant. In fact, I was not used to being someone's subordinate, but there was nothing I could do. This is the organization of our republic. If you stay in one place for too long, you're afraid that the higher-ups will misunderstand that you want to build up your own power." Minister Gao explained to Chen Lina and began to knock on Yu Gongan's door.

"Hey, he should be here, why doesn't he open the door?" Minister Gao said after knocking for a long time.

Chen Lina looked at the room and felt something was wrong. There was a fishy smell, which should be coming from inside the door.

"Minister Gao, that's not right. Hurry up and knock on the door. I think it will be dangerous to the police." Chen Lina said.

Minister Gao was well-trained. He pulled out his pistol and shot at the door, which opened.

There were a lot of documents scattered around the room, with blood stains on them. It was obvious that this was a crime scene after a fight.

"Xiao Chen, this must be a crime scene. I am especially grateful that you came to remind us. Now, I still advise you to take the children home as soon as possible. The police in the mining area were injured. This is a very vicious incident. Our armed forces will take over it."

"Mom, should we follow Uncle Gao? He seems to be going to catch some bad guys." Xiao Nie is always very enthusiastic whenever he encounters such things.

"Comrade Xiao Nie, you are just a child. I thought your aunt's incident was enough of a lesson for you, but I didn't expect you to want to join in the fun. Come home quickly."

"Look at what is copied on Yu Gongan's desk?" Nie Weimin, who had sharp eyes, said again.

Chen Lina took a look and saw it was just a piece of letter paper with the lyrics of "Avarguli" copied on it, and rows of "Chen Lina" written below in fountain pen font.

Hey, Comrade Xiaoyu, who is younger than me, wouldn’t be secretly in love with her, right?

This idea is deeply problematic.

Chen Lina crumpled up the letter and said, "Xiao Nie, do you understand privacy? This is someone else's dormitory. We can't move around randomly anymore. Close the door quickly and be careful not to leave footprints. Go quickly."

Sandan bit his lips and smiled as he said, "One time when we were gathering in the mining area, you went to the credit union to do some work, and Uncle Yu gave me some candy and told me to be good and listen to you."

Although Miss Chen thinks she is extremely charming, she doesn't do the kind of thing where people just flirt with other guys. She thinks that she should restrain her charm a little bit. After all, she makes the guys uneasy, which is not a nice thing to do.

However, she arrived too late, and unfortunately she was unable to tell Yu Donghai in person what he should pay attention to.

I don’t know whether Yu Donghai went to arrest Section Chief Feng or was captured by other criminals.

But there was no other way, she could only wait for the results of Gao Dayong's actions.

After returning to the farm, Chen Lina had to go check on Sun Duoyu who had been released yesterday.

Sun Duoyu was so happy when he left yesterday, but now he is so embarrassed. He was kidnapped and given polio, and he didn't get married. He was beaten into a pig's head and sent back.

She was lying in a hole in the ground, and a large group of women from the farm were comforting her.

"That Xiao Lu has no taste. He doesn't want a good bride, no matter how good it is. She has polio, so she can't get married. What if she gives birth to a crippled baby in the future? What shall we do?" said Wang Guanghai's family.

Hou Hao's educated wife, an old educated youth, comforted her by saying, "There's nothing shameful about kidnapping. Just cover yourself with a blanket and get your head out. We women hold up half the sky. If you don't have men, you're dead. Get out and take a breath. Don't suffocate yourself to death."

However, everyone also found it funny. After all, no women really thought that Sun Duoyu could get married.

"Okay, female comrades, you guys go out first, I'll persuade her, okay?" Old Tian came in with a bowl of instant noodles he had cooked himself.

The women on the farm have always been very respectful to Mr. Tian. When they heard that he wanted to persuade Sun Duoyu, they of course dispersed.

Mr. Tian sat down beside the bed and asked, "Duyu, get up and eat some instant noodles. If you don't cheer up, your pigs will get hungry and skinny. Didn't you say that you should fatten the pigs so that Erdan can eat them?"

There was no sound for a long time, and then suddenly there was a cry, and Sun Duoyu burst into tears in his quilt, "Grandpa Tian, ​​that Xiao Lu is a piece of shit. He even promised me that when I married into the forest farm, I would take you with me, and he was willing to take care of you in your old age. Tell me, can he lie about this?"

Mr. Tian was stunned. "How old am I in your eyes? I am only in my forties and the government gives me a monthly allowance of more than 80 yuan. How can I be so young and ask you to consider my retirement?"

"You don't have a baby, so what if you can't walk?"

To be honest, in the first twenty years, there was no hope and no future. Tian Jin really wanted to fall to the ground and be done with it. But now the farm has such a good development prospect, and there is a silly girl who is responsible for supporting him in his old age. Tian Jin's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

He is only 48 years old this year. If he really finds a widow with children, it won't be a problem for him to get the allowance and the patent bonus to support the grown-up child. By then, this silly girl won't have to worry about his old-age support, right?

The three brothers Xiao Nie followed their mother into the farm. Erdan was holding a pig's thigh, and Xiao Nie was holding his aunt's wound. They were about to go to the den, but when they reached the door, they were stopped by their mother who had arrived earlier and asked them to go back.

"Okay, your aunt needs to be alone, now just work for me and share the wages." Chen Lina said.

Nie Weimin wanted to rush in, but Chen Lina pulled his ears and pulled him back. "No, Weimin, your aunt needs to be alone now. You can't go in. Get out of here."

"I saw it, Grandpa Tian is in there, Comrade Xiao Chen, you have bad intentions." Xiao Nie couldn't figure out what the problem was, but he felt that there was definitely something wrong with his mother.

"Even if I have bad intentions, I told you not to disturb me. This is an order." Chen Lina said decisively.

When Xiao Nie entered the farm, he was like a dog sniffing a bone. He didn't run anywhere else, but walked around here and there, asking questions. When he found out where Liu Xiaohong, oh no, Wang Sitian was, he ran over there.

Liu Xiaohong, carrying her younger sister on her back, is planting cotton plants in the plastic film field. This is the job with the largest volume and the one that can earn the most work points.

Licking his lips, he squatted down beside Liu Xiaohong and planted the cotton plants obediently. When Liu Xiaohong suddenly turned around and found him, he chuckled and said, "Hehe, are you scared?"

"Nie Weimin, can't you just say hello openly? Do you always have to scare me?" He probably thought he was quite handsome, but Liu Xiaohong thought he looked stupid and ridiculous.

"By the way, Chen Tiantian rarely goes out recently. Xiao Jinbao said she was injured and was always bleeding, but Aunt Wang said she was in a bad mood. Do you know why? Don't you two have a good relationship?" Xiao Nie said.

"Don't disturb her. I'll just tell you quietly that she is on her period now." Liu Xiaohong said quietly.

Nie Weimin exclaimed, "The menstrual period is so early? Will she stop growing in the future? I've seen a hygienist and they said that if a girl has her first period too early, she will probably not grow tall."

"If you say you are a nerd, you are a sly sly person. But if you are not said to be a nerd, you are really a nerd. You understand this." Liu Xiaohong glared at him.

Nie Weimin looked around and saw that Erdan and Sandan were far away. He quietly approached them and asked, "Are you here?"

"Why are you asking this?"

"You are my sister. I have the right to know this."

"Bullshit! Anyone asking this is a hooligans." Liu Xiaohong said, then turned around and concentrated on planting cotton plants.

Nie Weimin scratched his head. For the first time, he realized that Tiantian had become a grown-up girl. Then what about him? Wasn’t he also a grown-up man?

The young man was a little distressed. On the one hand, he felt that he had grown up, but on the other hand, he felt that he was still a child. At the same time, he was worried that Tiantian would not grow taller, and he was also worried that Sitian would also have her first period. After thinking for a long time, he went over and took Niu Niu off Liu Xiaohong.

"Wei Min, what do you want to do? Niuniu won't recognize you and she will cry."

"I'll carry it for you. Also, you don't have to work anymore. Go home and do your homework. I'll help you complete your work points."

Nie Weimin's technique was too rough. Niu Niu was sleeping on her sister's back, but when he hugged her, she burst into tears.

"Xiaohong, why is Niu Niu crying? How do you comfort her?" Chen Lili was planting cotton plants not far away. When she heard Niu Niu crying, she started shouting.

"What's wrong with you? I have to work and take care of the children. Come to me quickly." Liu Xiaohong said, and then she picked up her sister and coaxed her in a low voice.

"I'm not afraid that you might get tired and have that thing. My mother said, oh, your period came early this month, I guess it's because you're tired." Nie Weimin blushed and explained in a low voice.

"That thing comes naturally when a girl grows up. How can it be caused by hard work?" It was the first time that Liu Xiaohong saw Nie Weimin at a loss, so she comforted him and said, "Girls will be like this when they grow up. Don't worry. Tiantian is timid to begin with. She will figure it out after a while. It'll be fine. It's okay."

In the evening, we got on the jeep and went home with Chen Lina. Sandan played with a Rubik's Cube and said sadly, "Uncle Edward has passed away. Mom, will we have no more little pigs to eat in the future?"

"Mom thought that there is a big forest on the hillside near our farm, so we might as well raise some pigs. In the future, we can raise our own pigs to eat," said Chen Lina.

"If Mommy Ham sees this, she will be unhappy." Sandaner was worried.

The pork is so delicious, but Mama Ham doesn’t eat pork, and she can’t watch pigs run away, so anyone who eats pork is like a thief.

"There used to be many ethnic minorities in the border areas, but gradually the number of ethnic groups has increased, and various cultures have converged and integrated. Now even pork is sold on the streets of the mining area. Mama Hama will gradually understand us. By then, we can eat it openly and there is no need to close the shop quietly." Chen Lina said.

Xiao Nie thought for a moment and said, "So, the border is becoming more and more suitable for us."

"When we get into an environment, we should first try to fit in, and then slowly change it, just like now." Chen Lina said with a smile, "We respect Mama Hammam's beliefs, but she also has to understand us."

"Mom, can we go visit relatives again? It's so much fun to travel." Erdan has never been able to calm down since his trip to Hongyan.

Fat chicken legs, big meatballs and braised pork, they made him crazy.

"But I still think our mining area is better. Look how green the wheat seedlings are. It's more fun to follow my mother in the fields." Sandan laughed and boasted, "That's why I won't go with Uncle Edward. I want to stay in the mining area with my mother forever."

"When you grow up, you still have to go out and travel. I will send you to college and study abroad. If you are willing, you can go to the United States, the United Kingdom, and the richest countries in the world. So now, Mommy has to save money for you. It is absolutely impossible to live without money, children."

Sandan was actually quite curious about the country with toys everywhere, so he turned around and said to Nie Weimin, "Brother, I want to learn English too."

"Little fool, I will teach you. You are smarter than Erdan. I believe you can learn well."

Driving into the base in the sunset, Chen Lina was about to turn the steering wheel to head toward the family area when she caught a glimpse of an old acquaintance.

"Uncle Leng, Uncle Leng." Erdan lowered the window and called out, "Mom, look, Uncle Leng is here."

Leng Qi, dressed neatly in military uniform, was indeed standing on the elementary school playground, with people lined up behind him were from the armed forces.

"What do you mean, Minister Gao has been transferred?" Chen Lina asked Chief Engineer Wang. "I saw him this morning and he was still in the mining area. What transfer order? How come it happened so quickly?"

Chief Engineer Wang came to welcome the new leader of the Armed Forces Department, and told Chen Lina, "Although Minister Gao has not yet reported to the autonomous region, Minister Leng has arrived ahead of time, and their positions should have been handed over. I am here to hand over Nie Gong's laboratory."

Nie Gong's laboratory is the top priority protected by the mining area's armed forces. Now that the new leader has arrived, it is only natural for him to take a look around in advance.

Leng Qi walked up to Chen Lina and gave her a military salute. "Hello, Director Chen. Leng Qi has taken over the mining area's armed forces department and is here to report."

"I'm not your superior, so there's nothing good to report about me. But Minister Leng, you were transferred from a large military region to a small armed forces department. It's not even a horizontal transfer. Isn't this a demotion?"

"Whether it's demotion, lateral transfer, or promotion, it's all decisions made by the leaders above. We are in the military and can only execute them. What do you think, Director Chen?"

Chen Lina thought to herself, why do I feel like you are a weasel visiting a chicken to pay a New Year's greeting, and you have no good intentions?

But she couldn't say this out loud, so she got in the car and said, "We have something else to do so we'll leave first. Minister Leng, please take your time to hand over the responsibilities."

"I didn't expect Uncle Gao to leave like this. I really miss him." Sandan felt so sorry.

Every year at the farm’s social gathering, whenever Uncle Gao says he’s drunk from drinking too much soda, he’d like to throw him into the air. He’d be scared when he throws him out, but he’d always be able to catch him back. He’s much more fun to play with than his dad.

When Chen Lina came in, she had to quickly take apart all the bedding that Edward had used and wash it thoroughly.

Edward's body odor had almost turned her big bedroom into a horse stable at Hammam's house.

"Wei Min, come and help me with the work." She washed the quilt cover by herself. The quilt cover was too big and could not be hung out to dry.

"I'm busy, call Erdan." Nie Weimin shouted in the house.

Chen Lina and Yu Jin called out again, "Erdan, Erdan, help me hang up the quilt."

Erdan also said, "I'm busy, let Sandan do it."

Sandan was doing his homework and came quickly, but he was still young after all, and his hands were weak. He tried his best to hang the wet quilt cover on the clothesline.

"Look, your hair is all wet, Sandan, go away quickly, mommy is left alone." Chen Lina then said.

"It's okay, Mom. I can use my head to help you put the quilt cover on." Sandan was helping his mother with the work. He was even more aggressive than Erdan. He actually managed to push the quilt cover onto the cool clothes rope with just his head.

Chen Lina poured the water into the gutter, letting it flow out along the yard and into the drainage ditch in front of the door. She went into the kitchen, picked up a fire stick, pushed open the door of the small bedroom, and saw Nie Weimin sitting cross-legged on the bed, reading a book.

As for Erdan, he was flipping through a cartoon comic book of "Cat and Jerry" and laughing happily. This was a book left by Edward.

After each monk was beaten with a stick, Chen Lina asked Nie Weimin, "One monk has water to drink, but why do three monks have no water to drink? Tell me, please."

Nie Weimin said, "Because of people blaming each other, no one is doing the work."

"That's right. The big lazy one attacks the small lazy one, and the small lazy one attacks the flea. Look at the flea, its head is wet."

The little flea Sandan pointed at the two older ones and said, "One and the other are both big lazy bugs."

"Mom, let me help you light the fire." Erdan said quickly.

Chen Lina groaned and said, "Nie Weimin, put down the book and wash the remaining pillowcases and pillowcases for me. If you keep reading, your eyes will go blind. Do you understand?"

Nie Weimin also hurriedly slipped off the kang and hurried to wash the sheets and quilt covers.

There were two coughs outside, and it sounded like the worker's voice. Chen Lina was still angry and was about to scold the worker as well, but when she saw him come in, Leng Qi was following him.

"Nie Bozhao, why did you bring this god home? Don't you know he is a bad guy?" Chen Lina entered the kitchen and asked Nie Gong while pouring water.

Nie Gong also looked helpless. "We have always had bandit problems on our borders. Everyone knows this. Our armed forces only protect the property in the mining area from damage. It is said that Leng Qi came here to ask for a military warrant from above to pay off the bandits."

Hey, this guy is here to pay off the robbers?

Chen Lina looked at Leng Qi who was looking around the living room and thought that he must have been an unfathomable person in his previous life.

Moreover, he should have been in charge of logistics in the military region and participated in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam in 1979. I have never heard that he was a leader in the mining area.

But don't be afraid, no matter how unfathomable it is, once you arrive at the mining area you have to support border construction.

See how I educate him to be both red and professional.
