Chapter 164

Grab milk powder

Wang Hongbing drove a tractor, carrying Liu Xiaohong and Chen Lili, to the mining area to check the results of the high school entrance examination and the school that Liu Xiaohong was finally admitted to.

"Any of you who wants to associate with Chen Lina again is no longer my family. I have seen through her. She has never looked down on me in her entire life." Chen Lili was sitting in the back, and her words were actually spoken to Liu Xiaohong.

Liu Xiaohong didn't say anything, just sat in the tractor, holding the edge of the car.

"She was wrong to hit you, but you were wrong to let Xiaohong help Du Lanlan with the exam." Wang Hongbing turned around and cursed.

"I've already taken the test, and Jiao Lai Di has promised to give me 300 yuan as compensation. Wang Hongbing, you only make 50 yuan a month, but Xiao Hong can earn half a year's salary this time. As a grown man, her father, aren't you ashamed?"

"I have nothing to say to you." said Wang Hongbing.

It's not even high school yet, and many people are waiting outside the door for the results. Chen Lili pulled Liu Xiaohong to the front of the red list. The first place is high above, that is Nie Weimin, with a full score of 600 points, like a myth, no one can surpass him.

Following closely behind is He Junqiang, whose performance is also astonishingly high.

Liu Xiaohong didn't perform well and scored poorly on the test, ranking fifth in the entire mining area with 508 points. Chen Lili didn't find Du Lanlan, so she was worried and asked Liu Xiaohong, "Did you really copy the paper for her? If you did, why wasn't she listed in the front?"

Liu Xiaohong was worried about something. "I know her score, 402 points, not more or less. Look, it's not there anymore."

Even now, 402 is a high score.

Chen Lili had already spotted Jiao Lai Di, so she pulled Liu Xiaohong forward and said with a smile, "Accountant Jiao, your daughter Du Lanlan is on the list, so it's time to pay me the money you owe me."

Jiao Lai Di was also looking at the list. She turned around and looked at Chen Lili with the same look as if she was looking at a pile of dog shit. "Who is this woman? You are a dog barking in the street. Who owes you money? Are you crazy?"

"Didn't we agree that Xiaohong will help your Du Lanlan, and you will help my Wang Hongbing to get the mulch in advance, and you still want to give me 300 yuan?"

"This woman is really crazy. My Lanlan made it to the list based on her own ability. I don't think I'll give you any money. If you keep biting me like this, I'll report you to the police station and have you arrested."

"Jiao Lai Di, you don't keep your word."

"Hey everyone, look, there's a crazy woman here, biting people randomly." Jiao Lai Di looked at Chen Lili with great contempt, and said, "This is really a crazy dog, biting people randomly in the street."

Chen Lili felt as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water over her head. She looked at Wang Hongbing behind her, and then at Liu Xiaohong.

They were also stunned.

However, there is still one more thing to do, that is, they need to know whether Liu Xiaohong has been admitted to Oilfield Middle School.

Because the admission score of the Oilfield Middle School was high and the admission requirements were extremely stringent, the family of three hurriedly went to the Oilfield Middle School.

"Is Xiaohong there?" Chen Lili was so anxious that she was stunned.

Wang Hongbing went to the school to check the list of names. When he came back, he threw up his hands and shouted, "Xiaohong is not on the list, but Du Lanlan is on it. Chen Lili, you did a great thing. You let your daughter be used as a gun for others and got nothing. In the end, Du Lanlan snatched our daughter's place in school."

Chen Lili took two steps back in shock. "Jiao Lai Di, this shameless person, she deceived me."

"Mom, I told you at the time that Jiao Lai Di was not a good person. You said that if I didn't help you, you would jump into the Baiyang River. Well, now you see what the result is." Liu Xiaohong spread her hands and said, "I did what you asked me to do. Now the consequences have come out. We two mothers have to bear it."

…

"Chen Lina, you lose. The daughter you favor can only go to the middle school in the mining area, while my daughter can go to the better middle school in the oil field. What do you think? I'm better than you, right?" After reading the list, He Lanshan ran to the woolen textile factory to show off.

"Why can Liu Xiaohong only go to the mining area middle school? I heard from Wei Min that she scored 508, which is the fifth highest score in the entire mining area," said Chen Lina.

He Lanshan said, "There are two middle schools in our mining area, but the teachers and principals of Oilfield Middle School were all recruited by Gao Feng over the past few years. They are hired from all over the place. They are paid well, have good housing, and have first-rate teachers. Of course, they only provide education for the best students in our oil system. I heard that Liu Xiaohong was reported to someone, and someone said she plagiarized. Although this has not been verified, did Oilfield Middle School refuse to admit her because of this?"

After a pause, He Lanshan said, "Chen Lina, you have been working hard to get your brother-in-law a position at the hydropower plant. Now his daughter has been caught plagiarizing, and I have been keeping it a secret for him. Otherwise, I don't think the organization would have appointed him."

To be honest, Chen Lina was not unwilling to help Wang Hongbing and Chen Lili's family.

She knew her brother-in-law's strengths very well. The mining area had built a hydropower plant on the Baiyang River Dam, and Chen Lina had been helping Wang Hongbing to become the plant director.

He will be promoted to be the factory director, which means he will be a formal cadre of the mining area.

His forte is hydropower, which is a stable and promising industry. Isn't it great for a person to achieve something in his profession?

Chen Lili made such a big mistake during the probation period, Chen Lina was really sulking, otherwise, she wouldn't have slapped her.

"We are comrades, right? I didn't pursue Wang Geming. I still have He Min. Sister He, my brother-in-law is a really good man. As for the plagiarism, you have to take the blame if it's not verified."

He Lanshan pointed at Chen Lina's nose, as if to say, "You've got to suffer this day too," and laughed happily.

Chen Lina refused to admit defeat. "Look at how pretty my daughter is. I have it, but you don't."

When He Lanshan saw Nie Weixing pouting, he felt jealous and left in anger.

…

"Director, I have something to talk to you about. Are you busy?" Jiao Lai Di came in as soon as I entered the office.

Chen Lina left her sister in the dormitory, and the Nie Weimin brothers were there too, helping her look after the child.

So, when she was not taking care of her sister, she had to be busy with work. After all, she had not been in the woolen textile factory for half a year, and she had to see whether He Min was running her woolen textile factory well.

However, Jiao Lai Di has something to say, so we have to listen to her first. After all, she is the accountant of the factory.

"What's the matter? Tell me." Chen Lina pointed to the stool opposite the desk and motioned Jiao Laidie to sit down.

When she saw Jiao Lai Di smiling coquettishly, she felt a little uncomfortable.

Although she has lived two lifetimes, Chen Lina can accept people with any flaws.

But Jiao Lai Di actually instructed Chen Lili to let Liu Xiaohong cheat for Jiao Lai Di's daughter Du Lanlan in such an important exam as the high school entrance examination. She used this trick just to get into high school.

Chen Lina seemed to look down on Jiao Lai Di as a woman.

Moreover, someone reported that Liu Xiaohong had plagiarized, and in the end she lost her place in the Oilfield Middle School. If you say that this matter has nothing to do with Jiao Laidie, Chen Lina will never believe it.

"Why did you bring Chen Tiantian to our woolen textile factory? Let me tell you, you don't know that there is something wrong with that girl."

"What's the problem?" Chen Lina asked.

Jiao Lai Di thought that all women like to stir up trouble, so she whispered, "She has been restless since she was a child. You know, she got her period on the first day of the new year, and she often hooked up with boys outside to do those improper things. I heard that she has had several children."

You know, Tiantian and Xiaohong were the ones who grew up under Chen Lina's watch.

Xiaohong is sensible and outspoken. Although she looks timid, she has her own ideas in her heart.

As for Tiantian, she is a little bit stupid, but honest and sincere, which is pretty good for a young girl.

If she was really kept from going to school, it was because some kids at school kept spreading rumors that she slept with boys and had an abortion.

Is there such a thing? No, it doesn't.

Why? Because early this morning, Chen Lina and Chen Zili were afraid that Tiantian might have suffered from the food at the herdsman's house, so they took Tiantian to the health hospital for a check-up, and found that the baby's hymen was still intact.

Chen Zili was so regretful at that time that he slapped himself a few times in anger.

Why? Because he had always heard some gossip and thought that the girl did not study well in the mining area and had really hooked up with boys and slept with them a long time ago.

Rumors can sometimes kill people without shedding blood.

"Laidi, tell me, where did you hear these words from?" Chen Lina suppressed her anger and tried to smile, but her teeth were chattering with anger.

She watched the children grow up. Nie Weimin and Liu Xiaohong were outstanding and she liked them in her heart, but Tiantian and Erdan were silly children.

Because she is a little silly, she really feels pain in her heart, and she doesn't want to be treated maliciously by this world.

"You don't know, many people in our mining area have spread the news, and it's something everyone knows," said Jiao Laidie.

Chen Lina poured a cup of tea for Jiao Lai Di and put it on the table. "This kind of thing, in my experience, there is always a reason for everything. If someone spreads this kind of news, then someone must have seen something. Your daughter is studying in the same school as my family's Wei Min. Did she hear anything?"

"My Lanlan said that when Chen Tiantian first arrived at the school, she first fell in love with your Weimin. The two of them passed notes and sweet words to each other every day and were very close. But later, Weimin got promoted, so she fell in love with your Weiguo. They had a very good relationship. Then, she fell in love with the gangsters outside the school. She often went out with them and strolled in the woods. Maybe she was raped by them in the woods."

In fact, Tiantian, Weimin, and Erdan have a good relationship because they have been friends since they were young.

The so-called gangsters are Tiantian’s cousins ​​Wang Dawu and Wang Xiaowu.

They came to look for Tiantian, and Tiantian couldn't refuse to see him, after all, he was her cousin and they played together when they were kids. But as soon as they saw him, the female classmates started to talk nonsense about him.

"Did your daughter Lanlan see all these things with her own eyes?" Chen Lina asked.

Jiao Lai-di thought Chen Lina was concerned about her two sons and wanted to confirm whether Chen Tiantian had really slept with someone, so she said, "Of course, my daughter and several female classmates in her class have seen it and can all come forward to testify."

Chen Lina then said, "Okay, Sister Jiao, if this is true, it must be dealt with seriously. So, we have a meeting this afternoon, so you can call those female classmates who saw Chen Tiantian sleeping with someone and I will ask them in person to confirm the situation. What do you think?"

"Okay." Jiao Laidie said.

Then, she said, "It's a coincidence that Oilfield Middle School only has two girls admitted this time, one is Gao Xiaobing, and the other is my daughter Du Lanlan. From now on, we will not only be superiors and subordinates, but our children will also be the best of classmates."

Her daughter Du Lanlan was able to get into the Oilfield Middle School because of the cheat sheets given by Liu Xiaohong. This woman is so shameless that she keeps flattering her everywhere.

"That Chen Tiantian, kick her out of our factory. She is only 14 years old, can't do any work, and has a very bad character. I think a girl like this really can't stay in our factory."

"Let's confirm it this afternoon." Chen Lina could hardly hold back any longer. She was really afraid that if she wasn't careful, a cup of tea would splash onto Jiao Laidie's face.

It was time for lunch, and Nie Weimin was busy washing vegetables. Seeing Erdan not writing but teasing his sister, he angrily said, "Nie Weiguo, if you study for another year, you will really be the old principal. Hurry up and write for me."

"If my sister doesn't let me write, I won't write." Erdan said, pressing his nose and pretending to be a pig for his sister, who laughed so hard that her saliva flowed out.

"If you don't write, you'll just have to wait to become Chen Tiantian." Nie Weimin was rubbing pieces of rapeseed, stamping his feet in anger, when he saw Chen Lina come in.

"Where are the eggs?" Chen Lina said.

Nie Weimin said, "The supply and marketing cooperative is going to sell milk powder today, so he lined up early to grab milk powder for his sister."

Chen Lina took the vegetable basin and started washing the vegetables. Nie Weimin grabbed Erdan's head and forced him to write.

"Nie Weimin, I have to ask you a question. You and Liu Xiaohong took the exam together at that time. You knew that she passed the answers to Du Lanlan. Why didn't you stop her at that time?" Chen Lina asked.

Nie Weimin really didn’t know about this. “It’s unfair, Mom. By the time I found out, Liu Xiaohong had already taken the exam for me.” If he knew, he would definitely not let Liu Xiaohong do this.

"Go, get me some water from the water room."

"Nieh Weiguo, go get some water for Mom from the water room." Nieh Weimin turned around and assigned the task to Erdan.

But Erdan was doing his homework while teasing his sister, making her laugh so hard that she almost suffocated. "If my sister doesn't let me go, I won't go."

"The big lazy guy is using the little lazy guy, you two should go together." If they were to cheat, it would be endless. Chen Lina was waiting for hot water, and she knew that they were going to be naughty, so she said, "Hurry up, Nie Weimin, grab Erdan's ears, and then go together."

Erdan was reluctant to leave his sister, and a messy homework was already spread out. "I'm doing my homework seriously. Let Nie Weimin fetch the hot water."

"I won't go. Those young female workers always make fun of me." Nie Weimin really didn't want to go.

In the water room, there are always some little girls washing their feet, socks, or clothes.

Whenever he went there, they would make fun of him, deliberately asking him what grade he was in and what score he got on the test. Today was even more exaggerated, he got full marks on the high school entrance exam, and I guess they would make fun of him again.

By the way, those who are married will directly ask, "Who of you is more popular among the little girls in school, you or He Junqiang?"

Nie Weisheng is simply so shameful.

So, he would rather die than fetch water.

Chen Lina was frying vegetables here, and after they were done, she also wanted to make a tomato and egg soup. The tomatoes were juicy in the pan, but when she lifted the pot, there was no water.

She was helpless. "Ni Weixing, call your brother to fetch some water."

The younger sister was sitting steadily on the bed. The two brothers looked at her and pointed at Erdan, “Go!”

Erdan was so angry that he picked up the pot and ran away. "My sister asked me to fetch water, so I fetched water. A real man should always keep his word."

Nie Weimin took the opportunity to grab his homework book, which he almost never showed to anyone, and marked each question one by one, then showed it to Chen Lina. "Mom, Erdan did an okay job on this homework today, but he got three questions wrong on this page."

"How many mistakes can you make normally?"

"Normally there are 20 questions on a page, and I can get three correct at best."

"You're careless, and you never take studying seriously, right?" Chen Lina said.

Nie Weimin nodded, "That's right, it's not that he doesn't know how to do it, he just doesn't put his heart into studying."

Chen Lina thinks that Erdan's concentration on studying this time should have a lot to do with Tiantian. If he hadn't seen how miserable Tiantian suffered after running away and learned a lesson, Erdan would probably still not have focused on studying.

But Nie Weiguo is like a machine, a warning bell that keeps ringing. If you don't let him tighten the screws for three days, the screws will slip. So, when treating him, we cannot cure the root cause like we did with Nie Weimin.

The only solution is always to treat the root cause.

Chen Lina was thinking, how can she cure Erdan's dislike of studying at one go?

"Mom, Mom, I'm finally back." Sandan, carrying a cloth bag, jumped into Chen Lina's arms as soon as he entered the door. "There are so many people rushing to buy milk powder today."

"Show me how many cans you managed to steal?"

The scramble for milk powder in the mining area is now only rivaled by the scramble for Queliang. Why? Because the milk powder production is low and there are many children who need it.

What Chen Lina wants to grab is the yam milk powder made from yam milk in the Tibetan area. Although it tastes fishy, ​​it is very nutritious. This kind of milk powder is only supplied to the border areas and cannot be found in other places.

After she gave birth to her younger sister, it was Sandan and Nie Bozhao's job to grab the milk powder. Although little Dandan was small, he was very agile and could always grab the milk powder for her. In this respect, even Nie Gong could not compare to him.

I saw that they had grabbed four cans, enough for my sister to eat for a month. It can be said that the whole family is proud of Dandan.

It was afternoon in the blink of an eye. Chen Lina was at work taking care of some things and preparing to hold a mobilization meeting for the textile workers when Jiao Laidie arrived.

She also brought three little girls, aged fourteen or fifteen.

These little girls, one is Jiao Lanlan, another is Liu Suiwa, and the other is Gong Xiaoxia. They were classmates of Nie Weimin in junior high school. Now, they have graduated from junior high school. Two of them failed to get into high school, so they could only take the Red Expert exam and then go to work in the woolen textile factory.

As for Du Lanlan, thanks to Jiao Laidie's clever tricks and Liu Xiaohong, she was admitted to high school. She looked quite proud of herself.

"Hello, Director Chen." Led by Du Lanlan, several little girls said.

Just in front of the office building, there were small pony horses lined up in a row. Girls from the woolen textile factory were rushing here from the workshop one after another.

Chen Tiantian is responsible for helping everyone move the stools. She is very diligent because the employees and staff of the wool textile factory are watching her. She runs around, sweating profusely, helping the employees move the stools.

"Tell me, has anyone of you seen Chen Tiantian passing notes to my Wei Min?" Chen Lina asked after the three girls sat down.

Du Lanlan was very proud of having been admitted to high school, so she said, "Liu Suiwa, you go ahead and tell me."

In fact, it was these three who were causing trouble, gossiping, and throwing dirty water on Chen Tiantian.

Du Lanlan wanted to get Liu Suiwa and Gong Xiaoxia into the woolen textile factory, so she deliberately gave them the opportunity to show their talents.

As for Liu Suiwa, he didn't realize that although Director Chen was smiling, the flesh beneath his skin was already tangled. Of course, he was trying to show off in front of the Director, so he said, "I've seen her shamelessly pass notes to Nie Weimin, and some people have even seen her fighting with others."

Gong Xiaoxia felt that this was not enough, so she quickly added, "Some people said that she had an abortion. I saw it with my own eyes. She came out of the county health hospital, holding her belly."

Chen Lina straightened her back, and with a snap, the pen she had been playing with fell onto the table.

Jiao Lai Di did a great job and found all the people who spread the gossip.
