Chapter 179

Pick up sister

Nie Weimin pulled the trigger directly, and with a bang, the bullet flew out, brushing against Leng Qi's ear.

Born oxen are not afraid of tigers. When children want to play with guns, adults are really afraid. Leng Qi immediately raised his hand and said, "Guardians, you are not allowed to play with guns. Be careful or I will spank you."

The laborers were also frightened. "Guardians, put down your guns."

"He wanted to steal something," Nie Weimin said angrily, "and he blew up our tires. Anyway, it's a gang robbing a gang. If he can shoot, why can't I?"

"I just came to take a look, isn't that okay?" Leng Qi raised his hands and looked back at Nie Gong. "You are a bad son. You can't afford to play. Think about when you were little. I could beat you up however I wanted. Nie Bozhao, how could you give birth to such a stubborn son?"

Nie Gongha started laughing. "Haven't you heard that brothers fight together in war, and fathers and sons fight together in battle? Leng Qi, we are getting older, and fighting alone is outdated. Now, we have to fight with our sons."

Leng Qi was angry, but actually, he had no intention of robbing anyone, he just wanted to clear his eyes.

However, when he and Nie Bozhao died of old age, they would still compete to see whose bones were harder and who would die first.

If Nie Bozhao had died before him, he would have been extremely relieved when he closed his eyes. He originally came to scare Nie Gong, but he didn't expect to scare a child instead.

After Nie Weimin put away his gun, he dared to put down his hand and said, "Come, I will help you change the tire."

"Uncle Leng, has my sister cried? Is she okay?" Nie Weimin also got out of the car and helped Leng Qitian break his arms.

This boy has been helping his dad deliver things since he was young. He is very smart. When you are working, if you want something, he will deliver it to you as soon as you think about it.

Leng Qi also wanted a son like this, who was like a little tiger when in trouble, obedient and had good sense. To be honest, he hated this aspect of Nie Bozhao all his life: although he seemed to be noncompetitive, he actually tried his best to be better than Nie Bozhao in everything.

"Who is your sister?" Leng Qi teased him deliberately.

"Niu Wei?"

"I don't know Nie Weixing, but I have a Leng Weixing at home. You can get to know her later. She's my little girl, very well-behaved and pretty. Let me tell you about it. The day before yesterday, I teased her and said I wanted to eat her fingers. Guess what, she really gave them to me. Yesterday morning, I said to her, I'm sorry, Weixing, daddy couldn't help but eat your toes last night. You won't blame daddy, will you? She shook her head and said no, but she quietly crawled into the quilt and counted her toes." Leng Qi laughed with tears in his eyes as he spoke.

"It's wrong for you to scare my sister like this. She will be scared, Uncle Leng, how can you be so heartless?" After changing the tire, Nie Weimin took the initiative to open the trunk and gave Leng Qi a big pear.

Leng Qi was shocked when he saw the trunk full of pears. “Is this the big yellow croaker?”

The worker pushed aside the pears on the basket, and then the firewood on the bottom layer. Leng Qi let out a long cry of surprise, "Damn it, if the landlord Ma had donated this to the army, Tibet could have been liberated a year earlier."

The ability of Erdan lies in the fact that even when there was such a big commotion and almost a fight, he was still lying on his seat and sleeping soundly, and he didn't wake up at all.

Two men and a child opened the trunk and ate pears, talking about how much Leng Weixing loved them.

"Leng Qi, I originally thought that if I left my child at your house, at least no one would bully her. But now it seems that you are the one who can bully my daughter the most. I will come to hold the child tomorrow. Please get ready and give my daughter to me." Nie Gong said.

Wei Min also said, "Uncle Leng, you are really ridiculous. My sister was crying and you threatened to eat her fingers. You may not have hit her, but you have damaged her psychologically. We will take my sister away tomorrow morning."

"You know nothing, it's because she loves me, and we have a good time."

"You should go home quickly. I'm going to the base and will be back soon." Nie Gong would not listen to Leng Qi's excuse. He drove away and took Nie Weimin and his brother back to the base.

Leng Qi wiped his nose with his hand covered in engine oil and felt something was wrong.

Why did he come here in the middle of the night to blow up someone's tire and then help him change it?

Nothing happened when he ate the pears last night, but when he thought about it again, Leng Qi got angry.

If he hadn't sent someone to escort them, Nie Bozhao and his two sons would have had their car overturned in the desert. When they arrived at the mining area, he even changed a tire for them. They just returned home and probably haven't slept a wink yet, but he's already asking for his daughter-in-law.

"Cold satellite?"

"Dad." Weixing was feeding the fish. As soon as she started feeding, Leng Qi had to catch them quickly, otherwise a large number of them would die of bloating.

"Satellite, now, there is a bad uncle who will really eat your toes, and two extremely bad brothers are coming to find you. They want to take you away from your father. Are you willing?" Leng Qi asked.

The younger sister was originally smiling, but the smile froze on her face. She hugged Leng Qi's neck tightly and whispered, "No."

Don't look at her young age, she knows everything.

Leng Qi then carried his sister to the gate of the armed forces.

As expected, after the laborer returned home, he didn't even shave and just changed into a white shirt. There was no woman at home. Wei Min and Er Dan had been wearing smelly sweaters for three or four days. They were dirty and you could smell the sweat odor from a distance.

Especially Erdan, he is simply a walking toilet.

"Satellite!" Nie Gongze was so excited that he stretched out his hands to hug the child. Wei Min and Erdan also rushed over.

My sister is still young, just over one year old. Although she is only ten days old, we are together day and night. Leng Qi is much more interesting than his previous father who was always at work, came home very late every day, and was as rigid as a wooden chicken.

So, she had long forgotten about that father.

In addition, the worker looked like a chicken in a nest, and he came to eat his fingers. As soon as he stretched out his hand, his sister burst into tears and tried to lie in Leng Qi's arms.

Erdan thought he had a good relationship with his sister, so he rushed over with a smelly face. His sister cried even harder, and she almost died from crying.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Dad is here, Dad will help you beat the bad guys." Leng Qi said, and kicked him. If the worker hadn't dodged quickly, he would have kicked him in the butt.

Nie Bozhao was about to lose his temper. Nie Weimin and Erdan glared at him. Like a newborn ox, they were not afraid of a tiger and wanted to rush over to fight. Unexpectedly, his sister hugged Leng Qi's neck and actually burst into laughter.

"Go, go, go, hurry up, my satellite doesn't want to see you." Leng Qi said, and he walked back with his obedient sister in his arms.

The laborer was left with his two sons, standing there in a daze.

Chen Lina stayed in Hongyan for another three or four days. She found some workers to clean up all the tiles, move out the furniture in the living room that was not damaged, and clean up the old bricks and tiles that were still in good condition and stack them in the garage.

Then, when Nie Guozhu's transfer order came down, he spoke to him earnestly, saying that if an official did not serve the people, he might as well go home and buy sweet potatoes.

The world may be dark, but just as day comes after night, there is always a bright side. No matter whether others are black or white, stick to your own position and principles.

Nie Guozhu is a simple-minded person. When he heard that his job was directly recommended by the provincial leaders, he knew nothing more. He was a very sincere person and was ready to serve the people at any time.

When he sent Sandan and Chen Lina away, he carried Sandan all the way into the train station.

Moreover, although he had no money, he still secretly borrowed some money and bought a compass, a ruler and a set of triangles for Sandan. Sandan needed these things for school, but after his eldest brother used them, the second brother used them, and the ruler in the family came to him. It was covered with Erdan's saliva and teeth marks, and Sandan didn't like it very much.

Now that he had a new set, he was overjoyed.

"Director Liu from the wool textile factory has told me that he will introduce you to a girl. When the time comes, you need to be more humble, sincere, and treat the girl well." Chen Lina warned.

Nie Guozhu, he has been single for many years since Gong Hongxing. He held Chen Lina's hand under the train, crying like a baby and nodding continuously.

"I'm telling you, you can't mess around with anything except relationships between men and women. Especially since you're the director of a police station, there might be some lesbians throwing themselves at you, but you can't get involved with them. If you do, your future will be ruined."

"I understand, I understand!" The train started moving, and Nie Guozhu ran behind the train, chasing and chasing.

His cousin, if it weren't for those ten years, their children would have been married by now.

Now there is a direct line from Hongyan to Umay.

Of course, Gao Feng is striving to open this channel for the sales of Umayyad’s fabrics, wool, and plastic products. Now it is still in the loss-making stage, so Gao Feng is under great pressure.

After getting off the train, Chen Lina sniffed the air in the mining area. Well, the air in the frontier is much fresher than in the inland areas. Moreover, the sky is wide and the land is vast. For people like them who are used to living in the frontier, once they arrive in the frontier, they feel refreshed.

After exiting the train station, I saw my newly painted jeep parked on the side of the road from a distance.

The worker was leaning on the front of the car, his hands on his hips. There was a drawing spread on the hood, and he was looking at it.

As for the two brothers, Nie Weimin and Erdan, they were squatting in the shadow of the car, cross-legged, playing chess. These gentlemen had a very wide range of hobbies.

"I knew you wouldn't want to leave me and missed me so much that you would definitely wait for me here. Erdan, guess what delicious food mom brought for you?" Chen Lina said happily.

Erdan is heartless. He has been with Miss Chen for such a long time, but he doesn't know how to say sweet words. In one sentence, he directly revealed the secrets of father and son. "Why are you reluctant to leave you, mom? We are in a hurry to pick up my sister, so we are waiting for you. Do you know that Uncle Leng has turned my sister into his daughter? If we don't go, my sister will not recognize us."

"Weimin, Mom bought you mangoes and bananas from Hongyan. They are all tropical fruits. I guarantee you have never eaten them before. Get in the car and I will peel them for you to eat."

"Mom, I like eating fruits too. Can I taste the banana?" Erdan said.

Chen Lina didn't look at him. "Oh, you, if you like to eat it, go plant some fruit trees yourself, and you can eat it in a few years."

Erdan looked at Nie Weimin, who had a banana in his mouth and a mango that his mother had peeled with a toothpick in his hand. He scratched his itchy forehead and had no idea what he had done wrong.

But the most important thing for them now is to see if their mother can find the satellite back.

When they arrived at the large courtyard of Grandpa Bai's house, it was the weekend and Leng Qi was at home, but Anna and her sister were not there.

According to Leng Qi, it was time for her sister to take sugar pills, so Anna took her to the hospital to take them.

Staff Officer Feng, Leng Qi, and several leaders of the Armed Forces are chatting here. They are talking about the proliferation of oil thieves and hooligans in the mining area.

Now the mining area is preparing for a public crackdown with extremely severe sentencing. Of course, it is also like burning weeds, preparing to get rid of the evil stubble and clean up the oil thieves in the mining area from the source.

Chen Lina spent her entire life in Hongyan, from the late 1970s to the early 1990s, and experienced countless public beatings. Of course, she also knew that although the sentencing was strict, it might be a bit too harsh.

However, every crackdown is inseparable from the sacrifices of the police and armed police soldiers.

And every time a strict decision is made, each department has to go through many rounds of argumentation and preparation before it is approved.

Seeing that there were guests at Minister Leng's house, everyone chatted for a while and then left.

Leng Qi smiled with a fake smile, "Are the Nie Gong family here to see my daughter?"

In the car, Nie Weimin and Erdan had already complained about Leng Qi's bad deeds, such as when they came to see their sister, Leng Qi always refused to let them in. Now he took the initiative to change his sister's surname and asked his sister to call him dad and Anna to call her mom.

What's even more outrageous is that Minister Leng also claimed that he would eat his sister's fingers and toes. It is said that his sister would count her toes every day when she wakes up to see if they are all there.

Chen Lina didn't say anything to Leng Qi. She took the initiative to pick up her sister's small clothes, pants and sun hats that were drying outside and stacked them up.

The nurse looked at the clock as it got darker. “It’s time for everyone in the hospital to get off work. Why hasn’t Anna come back yet?”

"Come here, Dad. My sister is back." Sandan ran in from outside the door, and Anna also followed in his footsteps and entered the door.

She bought her sister a new little skirt and sandals, and put a round hat with a curly wig on it and a fluffy skirt on her head, making her look like a little princess.

Putting her on the ground, Anna said, "Xingxing, go find your father." Well, the name was indeed changed.

Last time, Nie Gong almost scared the child to death, so today he dressed up as he originally was. However, he was not sure if the child would recognize him, so he pointed at Chen Lina and said, "Satellite, look, your mother is here."

As a result, Chen Lina was sitting there. Leng Qi stretched out his hand and called Xingxing. The sister opened her hand and rushed towards Leng Qi, "Dad." Her voice was so sweet and her articulation was so clever.

Engineer Nie let out a long breath, looked at his lover and spread his hands.

It's over. The big yellow croaker was found, but the girl mistook the thief for her father.

It’s no wonder Leng Qi is so boastful; he has every reason to be proud.

First of all, Nie Weixing no longer recognized Chen Lina and only recognized Anna as his mother.

Besides, she no longer recognized Yen Gong and only recognized Leng Qi as her father.

As for those brothers, they don’t exist. I’m a good kid with only my dad and mom, and I don’t even look at those brats.

Although Anna's cooking is not as good as Chen Lina's, they have their own military canteen, and the food for the armed forces staff is the best in the entire mining area.

So, in the evening, Anna tried her best to keep her and rushed to the cafeteria to get several meals, so that Chen Lina didn't have to go home to cook.

Lamb stewed with white radish, hot millet porridge and a large pot of fried lotus root, plus hot fried rolls as big as fists.

Leng Qi said, "Wei Min, eat more. I didn't realize you're no longer wearing open-crotch pants. But, young man, do you want to go to the shooting range with me tonight to practice?"

Nie Weimin's eyes lit up, but he didn't agree.

The recoil force of a gun is very strong. When he fired the gun that night, the bullets actually flew out randomly as he pulled the trigger. His hand strength was too weak and he couldn't control the force at all. If Leng Qi was not shot, it was really because he was lucky.

So, really, at least before he was eighteen years old, Nie Weimin restrained himself and would not touch a gun again, unless he could make his wrists stronger, otherwise it would be a crime.

Leng Qi looked as if he understood everything. "Little guy, I told you to be crazy, now you know how to be afraid, right?"

"Wei Min, take your brother and others out to eat. Dad has something to talk to your Uncle Leng about." said Nie Gong.

Each person had an enamel pot of food, with a fried roll on top, and squatted outside the door with the pot in hand. It tasted down-to-earth and filling. Erdan left first. Sandan and Nie Weimin also knew that the adults had something to discuss, so they followed closely.

"Gao Feng knows about the yellow croaker incident," said Nie Gong.

Leng Qi secretly guessed that Nie Bozhao would not keep all the yellow croakers for himself, but he did not expect that he would actually tell the mayor of the autonomous region about this.

"Lina and her colleagues are looking to purchase machinery for the clothing factory and wool textile factory. She is planning to import the most advanced assembly lines from Japan, but they have a funding gap of 300,000 yuan.

Therefore, District Chief Gao will pledge those yellow croakers to the Autonomous Region Construction Bank, which will loan out 200,000 yuan, and then the Autonomous Region will allocate 100,000 yuan to buy machines. "Nie Gong then said.

"Of course, when the money from the machine is earned, we will still redeem the big yellow croaker from the bank, but Lina has a longer-term idea. She wants to use this money as the blood supply of the entire mining area to develop food, leather, grain, oil, plastic production plants, as well as hotels, shopping malls, and brand new residential areas. These industries all require huge amounts of funds."

Leng Qi felt a little sad, but he didn't say anything and just watched his sister eat the cake.

You said that if you really gave a few large baskets of gold bricks to someone, what use would they be? It would make you not have to work and just eat and wait for death. It would be meaningless.

Chen Lina wanted to use it to develop the industrial economy. Leng Qi admired her in his heart. Well, that little bit of reluctance was completely gone.

Of course, Chen Lina will always be one of the women he admires most. The other is Anna, who is irreplaceable in his heart.

But Chen Lina is so capable, she really can't do without the support of a man like Ye Gong, who is stable, knowledgeable, visionary and generous. If she had married any other man, this woman would not have achieved what she has today.

The egg cake that Leng Qi steamed himself looks soft and tender and smells delicious.

Every time my sister took a bite, she would kiss Lengqi's hand and circle around him like a little butterfly, saying "Thank you, Daddy."

The worker suddenly felt a little ashamed. He had four children, but he had never steamed a bowl of egg cake for any of them.

But, the girl is always yours. Nie Gong said shamelessly, "Xiao Chen is back, and it's time for us to take our sister away. Anna, talk to our sister and let her go with us."
