Chapter 147
Revolution
Anna is outside telling the children stories about her time as a sent-down youth on a farm.
A field mouse suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and the educated youth roasted it, taking a bite each. They also dug up some wild vegetables and roots, but didn't know if they were poisonous. After roasting them, they let the one with the worst quality taste it first. He then said that he had eaten a bite of the vegetable root.
So he started pretending to be dead, which scared all the educated youth, and the children all burst into laughter.
Here Leng Qi was laughing like a dog. Suddenly he saw Nie Gong waving at him in the kitchen of He Lanshan's house, so he hurried in.
When I went in, I saw Bao Manli sitting on the sofa in a daze.
District Chief Hu was standing on the balcony and asked Leng Qi for a cigarette. He briefly explained Bao Manli's situation. Of course, because of anger, his words were incoherent for a few times.
Leng Qi, isn't it? In fact, I had already guessed that Bao Manli's money came from shady sources. Now that I heard this, it made sense. It just fits perfectly.
In fact, Nie Gong had been investigating and collecting evidence, wanting to get to the bottom of the matter, and had no intention of making the matter public so early.
Today, because Hu Xuanang directly announced his marriage, he had no choice but to report the matter to District Chief Hu in advance.
It was also for the sake of District Chief Hu's political future that Nie Gong called him out privately and asked him to talk with Bao Manli.
"I know your subordinate is Zhu Hailiang. But Manli, you have to tell me who your superior is, who helped you take the intelligence out of the mining area and out of the country, where is that person, how did he seduce you, and how did you two get in touch?" Nie Gong said, "Tell me, I guarantee that you can get a lighter sentence for this matter."
Bao Manli was quite panicked at first, but now she is not panicked anymore. "I understand. You just checked a few of my foreign exchange income records. Then, knowing how many documents I have taken, you checked my overseas records and determined that I was selling out. Well, I won't say anything now. You can check it yourself. Just based on the few documents I have taken, you can find out whatever you can."
Spreading her hands, she said, "I have to tell you that I also brought back a lot of intelligence from abroad, and the things I brought out were just to make those commercial spies trust me. I have never sold the real core data of missile development. On the contrary, I brought in a lot of foreign military intelligence. Now I ask to be transferred to Beijing, because Beijing can clear my name."
Nie Gong and Leng Qi didn't know whether what she said was true or not. Leng Qi said, "You can't get to the top. At most, I can operate in the Hongyan Military Region and sentence you for espionage."
"Leng Qi, don't joke around. I'm going to die, and all of you here will be doomed."
"Because, is there a leader above you who will protect you?" Chen Lina asked back.
Bao Manli curled her lips and smiled, but said nothing.
"Bao Manli, don't try to play that game. Look at you, from the time you first arrived at the mining area to now, you have pretended to be stupid and foolish. You have also suffered the hardships and fatigue in the workshop. The worker just explained it to you very clearly. Don't think you are so noble. You are just selling state-owned assets. Do you understand? I tell you, if you work hard in the mining area and if you really want to work in the woolen textile factory, you will become rich sooner or later.
Moreover, if you have a house and one or two good clothes, it will be like your first love, a good thing.
But if you have too much, it's not worth the money. Do you think unlimited enjoyment, money and things, is really happiness? I have to tell you that it is not. When luxury goods become cabbage in your life, it is not enjoyment, do you understand?"
Bao Manli smiled and said, "It sounds like you don't like money, clothes or cosmetics."
"I love it, more than you do. I only have one Chanel coat, but I am extremely happy when I wear it. I regard it as a luxury.
But I don’t deliberately pursue that kind of luxury, because no matter my ability, my wealth, or everything my parents left me, it is impossible for it to become a normal part of my life.”
To put it bluntly, it is still a case of not being worthy of the position.
If you don’t have a super high IQ, money that falls from the sky, or a rich father or mother, but you want to enjoy those things, then isn’t the only way out, which is crime?
Bao Manli stopped smiling, but her eyes were red. She stood up and asked Leng Qi, "Where should I go? Your armed forces department, or should I go directly back to Hongyan?"
When District Chief Hu heard this, he knew that the woman was going to leave the mining area, and she would definitely fly away like a cooked duck.
Now that things have come to this point, he tends to think that this must have been planned in advance, and Bao Manli was sent to him on purpose.
Because it's all such a coincidence.
He liked history and culture, and liked to watch "Dream of Dunhuang". He happened to have seen Bao Manli dancing once, so he collected a few of her postcards and asked the dance troupe about her situation. Then she changed her career and was transferred to the mining area.
As a woman who travels abroad several times and often has foreign currency deposits into her bank account, she was able to safely pass the political review with a clean record without any problems.
It would be impossible without a strong hand to smooth everything out.
"Put her in the mining area and find a reason to arrest her first. Leng Qi, this person must be interrogated slowly and cannot be transferred to the Hongyan Military Region." He said.
Leng Qi thought that if it was really a crime of espionage, he had to report the matter to the police. After all, if the matter got out, he would be held responsible.
But now everyone was quite impulsive, so he didn't know what to say, so he just said, "That Zhu Hailiang, there's still Base No. 5, right? Let's capture him and see if we can find another way out. What do you think?"
So, Bao Manli was taken to the Armed Forces for control, and Nie Gong and Leng Qi immediately rushed to Base No. 5.
District Chief Hu did not dare tell anyone else about all this except reporting it privately to Secretary A and Gao Feng.
At evening of that day, on the road to Umayyad, a long line of military trucks moved slowly, and the one in the front seemed to be flying.
"Old Nie, are you crazy? You are driving so fast, do you want my car to be destroyed and everyone to be killed?" Leng Qi's back seat was removed, and he had to pull the handle because Nie Bozhao was throwing him in the back. Even so, he was still tossed around.
There was no choice but Leng Qi, who never wore a seat belt while driving, fastened his seat belt.
"Your car has a Mercedes-Benz engine. You've been driving too slowly for a long time and the gas is stuck. You can't move fast. I have to ease the throttle for you." Nie Gong said as he stepped on the accelerator to the bottom. The sun was still in the sky. It was already seven o'clock in the evening. If he didn't go back, Chen Lina would be waiting anxiously.
"No, you are absolutely crazy. Damn it, you were driving 200 miles per hour. If someone came on the road or hit a sheep, both of us would be killed and our car would be destroyed." Leng Qi said.
Nie Bozhao was very impatient. "Can't you just shut your mouth? If you keep talking, I tell you, you'll vomit."
Leng Qi was about to vomit. He felt that removing the driver's seat was a mistake.
At the entrance of the woolen textile factory, Chen Lina was talking to Anna. "Yu Donghai is a really good guy. He has a bright future. Why do I feel like you two are not interested in each other? Is he dissatisfied with you because you are a second marriage?"
Anna waved her hands quickly and said, "No way, he's a very nice person and has never said anything that he looks down on me."
"Then talk about it. You just met a scumbag, so you think all men in the world are scumbags. But I have to tell you that it's not like that. Most men still love their wives, work hard, and are responsible, just like Yu Donghai."
Leng Qi's jeep drove over slowly and stopped right in front of the woolen textile factory.
Chen Lina looked at her watch and said, "Not bad, Lao Nie. I've been waiting here for a long time. You drove too slowly, so you're late, right?"
Engineer Nie swore that as long as Miss Chen was pregnant, he would definitely send her off early and pick her up late, and would never be late for a minute.
Suddenly the back door opened, Leng Qi got out of the car, knelt on the eaves of the road and started vomiting.
After spitting out the oil, there is still yellow water on the noodles, and the bean sprouts are clearly visible.
Anna and Chen Lina exchanged disgusted looks, and Nie Gong quickly explained, "He's drunk. Don't bother with him. I'll ask his driver to take him back to the armed forces."
Under the disgusted gazes of the two ladies, Leng Qi climbed back into the car, lay down flat, and was taken back to the dormitory by the driver.
"When we arrived at Base No. 5, Zhu Hailiang was destroying his radio transmitter. He obviously realized that his situation had been exposed, so he drove away." Nie Gong said, "We chased him to Shaertamu and caught him."
Several children are still at He Lanshan's house, so Nie Gong and his wife have to go to He Lanshan's house for dinner, which means two meals. Even if the food is bad, it is better than cooking by themselves.
After finishing dinner, the family came out of Qu's family compound. They still drove slowly, like a snail crawling, which forced the children and Chen Lina to sleep.
"You drove so slowly on the way back from Bayinguoleng, right?" Chen Lina asked.
The worker would make the car bend in circles whenever he saw a small stone, but fortunately there were few cars on the street, so he was allowed to drive.
Therefore, the way he drove this car was as domineering and overbearing as the urban management officers that Chen Lina had seen in her previous life.
"Safety first, never drive fast, we have to agree on this. Weimin, you are going to grow up, and if you want to drive a car, you have to remember this." He never forgot to preach.
"Dad is a slow old man." said Sandan.
Nie Weimin was too lazy to tell his father about this. He and Erdan were looking out the window when he suddenly shouted, "Dad, Dad, stop the car."
Nie Bozhao thought the children were going to get off the car to pee, so he just stopped the car on the side of the road. Nie Weimin pulled Erdan and got out of the car.
They ran back to an alley, nodded to each other, and Erdan suddenly stomped his feet and ran inside, shouting, "Police, we are the police, all the thieves come out, put your hands on your head, and don't look up, or I will shoot you if you don't come out."
His voice was loud and his throat was swollen. He roared loudly and slammed his shoulders. From the sound of that, it was definitely not the voice of an eleven-year-old child. He stomped his feet as he walked and kicked the wall twice. The whole building was shaking.
And somewhere the alarm suddenly sounded, beeping, and it really sounded like the police were coming.
If the two children hadn't been crying, even the laborers would have thought that it was the police who were carrying out their duties.
The worker backed the car up and looked sideways, and saw that there were indeed a lot of people running out of a small residential building in the alley.
"Don't look up. Squat along the wall. Hurry up. What are you looking at?" Erdan saw a woman trying to look up, and yelled at her as he approached her.
"Are they pretending to be police officers?" Nie Gong's face turned blue with anger.
Chen Lina thought it was funny and almost died of laughter. "No, that's Wang Geming. Wait, I'll get off the car and see what happened."
Chen Lina got out of the car and took a look. Oh my god, there was a dark workshop hidden in the residential building. It was filled with sewage and urine. All the machines were the oldest ones, and there were piles of cloth piled up next to them.
"Mom, have you seen that the one who stuffs rags into our woolen textile factory all day long is Wang Geming. If you go into her workshop, you will see that it is full of rotten cloth woven from the worst cotton." Erdan said.
Wang Geming was squatting against the wall with his head in his hands. He looked up and saw no policemen. It was Erdan and Nie Weimin, the good students she taught.
She jumped up and said, "I'll punish you, you naughty kid, for daring to pretend to be a police officer."
Chen Lina saw her rushing over with her hand raised, holding a newly bought small leather bag in her hand, and threw the bag at Wang Geming's head. "I've been scolding He Min by the ear all day long, and his ears are almost broken. He can't catch the quality. It turns out that you are the one who is to blame, Wang Geming. You always take people outside to produce some rags, and secretly bring them to our woolen textile factory, causing people to always say that the cloth of the woolen textile factory is not good. You really don't deserve your good name."
She turned around and said, "Let's get in the car and report to the Public Security Bureau. Let your uncle Yu arrest that old lady Wang Geming and put her in jail. The people in the mining area had torn pants because of her."
"Okay, Mom." Now that he's caught, Erdan is so proud.
As a result, when I got on the car, Nie Gong turned around and stared at me, "Nie Weimin, Erdan, stretch out your hands."
He slapped them three times, then pointed at Nie Weimin and said, "The country has its own laws, and the family has its own rules. I have told you so many times that cracking down on evil forces and arresting bad guys is the job of the Public Security Bureau. If you found out that Wang Geming was doing this, you could report it to the Public Security Bureau. Why do you have to pretend to be a police officer? If you dare to do this again, I will break your legs."
Nie Gong teaches her son, and Chen Lina doesn't say a word.
Erdan felt wronged. After all, in order to discover Wang Geming's shady factory today, he and Nie Weimin first left Gao Xiaobing and ran to He Min's house, and then followed Wang Geming to this shady factory. Even the words they were going to say in advance were rehearsed. Who knew that after catching the bad guys and capturing both the people and the stolen goods, they would still be beaten.
Little Dandan didn't go out. He sat next to his two brothers and kept laughing, "Brother got beaten, brother got beaten."
"Nie Weijiang, don't laugh. Bring me the tape recorder and give me the tape." Nie Gong snatched the tape recorder from Sandan's hand, took out the tape, and said, "I'll confiscate it, and as a punishment, you are not allowed to listen to the tape recorder for ten days."
Sandan was also angry. "Sister Gao and I went to the Public Security Bureau and asked Uncle Yu to record it for us. The tape was so expensive. Dad, you are so mean."
The alarm sound was played by him on the tape recorder.
The worker threw the entire reel of tapes out with a loud swish.
Sandan held the large tape recorder given to him by Gao Xiaobing and stared hatefully at his father who was driving in front of him, his face turning blue with anger.
As happy as they were just now, the three brothers are now as unhappy.
Moreover, even though they had eaten two meals in the mining area, children eat a lot and get hungry quickly. As soon as they entered the door, they all rubbed their stomachs.
Chen Lina's milk is kept at Sister Wang's house.
She brought the milk back, heated the pot, poured rice wine, and added milk. Soon, a bowl of cheese was ready for each child. Erdan ate one bowl for himself and gave one bowl to each of the three children. Erdan saw that his father didn't have any, so he quickly took his own to the study. "Dad, you didn't have dinner, right? I'll give this to you, okay?"
"Then what did you eat?" Although Nie Gong had a full lunch, he didn't have dinner. Moreover, he was the first to chase his students. He ran more than 20 kilometers on foot with a gun. He was indeed tired and hungry.
And Miss Chen's cheese is absolutely delicious.
"There's still some water, Dad. I just need some water. This is our popsicle in winter."
"Dad just hit you, aren't you angry?" Nie Gong was a little surprised. After all, Nie Weimin and Sandan were still angry, and only Erdan was willing to get close to him after being beaten.
"Even if you hit me again, you are still my dad. How can a child be angry with his father? Dad, eat slowly. My mom said that eating too fast will upset your stomach." As stubborn as those two guys outside are, Erdan is just as considerate.
This son, who is the strongest, has the loudest voice and looks the roughest on the outside, is actually the softest and most delicate one on the inside.
Nie Gong really felt a little regretful that he had said such useless things about Erdan in front of his mentor.
"Starting tomorrow, Dad will help you with your homework, okay? You guys are all outstanding. You have to help Dad get into Peking University or Tsinghua University." Nie Gong said affirmatively.
Erdan shook his head and said, "No, Dad, I will join the army after I graduate from junior high school. After I am demobilized, I will become a qualified public security officer. I will not go to college. I would rather be a soldier than study."
Well, the worker slammed the table again in anger and said, "My son must go to college."
"Come on, hurry up and do prenatal education. It will take several years. Why do you care so much?" Chen Lina said.
Pregnant women are the most important, so as usual, Miss Chen asks Nie Gong to do prenatal education in the evening.
