Chapter 181

Donghai Wedding

"Lina, big news! Shanghai has sent an inspection team to inspect our Wumai mining area and Hongyan. They are planning to open a Shanghai clothing branch in our mainland. Hurry up! We must focus on preparing for this and try to keep this project in our mining area."

Secretary Ah, who was always slow, rushed into Chen Lina's office like a gust of wind.

The ecstasy and excitement on his face made it seem like he was a completely different person.

As a result, he was anxious, but Chen Lina was not. "Leader, I have been working hard on this for almost two years. Our large clothing factory in Umay was built for this purpose."

"So, you mean you can really get this project?"

"Don't worry, it's no problem." Chen Lina said, picked up her bag, called Anna, and went home from get off work together.

If the mining area wants to develop, it cannot do without external help. Deng Dongya is the help that Chen Lina invited for herself. A former party school classmate said he would come two years ago, and now he is finally coming to the mining area.

However, Deng Dongya's inspection team will not arrive for another half a month.

The most important thing for Chen Lina these days is to hold a wedding for Yu Donghai with Anna.

"Erdan, I asked you to put up stickers on the wall, not to throw the paste everywhere. This is a new house. If you dirty the wall, your uncle Yu and aunt Du won't be able to sleep tonight."

"Sandan, take your sister out to play. Yes, go to your uncle Leng's house. Stop feeding your sister candy. Eat up the candy. When she sits on the bed later, what will the bride eat?"

The new house was a mess, and Chen Lina was completely overwhelmed.

After work, the laborer rushed over to help. "Where is the groom? Why are there so many women in the room?"

Chen Lina said, "Don't mention it. He originally said he could rest today, but I heard that a woman at the refinery reported that she saw someone digging a pipeline, so he ran away again."

Well, the Oil Rat is Yu Donghai’s bride, because apart from the Oil Rat, he is not so diligent in meeting anyone else.

Nie Gong picked up his sister and threw her around a few times. This chubby little girl really made Nie Gong worried.

Seeing Anna standing on the ladder with her big belly hanging flowers on the wall, the laborer quickly said, "Anna, leave it alone, I'll do it."

The walls were decorated with red wedding decorations, and the bedsheets and quilt covers were all made of the best quality red fabrics from the woolen textile factory. On the table was the marriage certificate, and the new house was completely furnished.

Dr. Du had two surgeries today and came here directly after the surgeries.

"Xiao Du, you will be the bride tomorrow, so you can't come to the Armed Forces Department today. Go to the guesthouse and stay there. There are people to accompany you. I have invited a girl from Base No. 1 to be your bride's family member. Go quickly."

"But how can I do this? Am I just going to stand there and watch while you guys do the work for me?"

"We're more than happy to help," Anna said with a smile.

When Dr. Du saw how lively the bridal chamber was decorated, she had no choice but to go back to the guesthouse and be a bride.

Isn't Leng Qi here? As soon as he entered the door, he shouted, "Leng Weixing, Dad is here."

When the younger sister heard that her beloved father was coming, she immediately kicked her legs and threw herself into Leng Qi's arms.

Well, Nie Gong had lost miserably in this matter, because no matter how hard he tried, as soon as Leng Qi arrived, Nie Weixing would no longer have him in his eyes.

"Are you happy to watch someone else hold your wedding?" Chen Lina asked Nie Gong and Leng Qi.

Nie Gong nodded. "Happy. It's strange that you say this. This red flower is so tacky, but when it is put up, people feel happy for some reason."

"You are so useless that you haven't even given us a wedding. If we want to tell who the real men are in this mining area, we have to count the people from the Public Security Bureau." Chen Lina was being mean.

When Leng Qi heard this, he asked Nie Bozhao, "You didn't have a wedding either, did you?"

"We were in a hurry at the time, so we just went through the motions." As for each person getting a bowl of臊子面, Chen Lina's betrothal gift consisted of three washbasins and three toothbrushes.

Leng Qi said, "Me too, but I was in a hurry to get married, so I didn't do it."

In fact, he was still afraid that being in the army, getting married and then getting divorced would have a bad impact. Besides, Leng Qi and Nie Gong, two brothers who grew up together, had surprisingly consistent mindsets. After all, the important thing about marriage is sleeping in the same bed, and the form is really not important.

Before Chen Lina could say anything, Anna smiled and said, "Secretary, don't you think we sisters have the same fate? Men think we are worthless. I have been married twice and have never worn a red dress."

When Leng Qi and Ma Xiaofang got married, they hadn't even started to get married yet, but they had already set up quite a few tables, and two beds collapsed just by entering the bridal chamber.

Looking at Anna again, he put himself in her shoes and thought that he was being wronged. Leng Qi quickly said, "When our girlfriend comes out, I will give you a grand celebration and wedding."

"My husband, Lao Nie, and I have to hold our golden wedding anniversary. I hope you, Leng Qi, will still be alive by then so you can help Lao Nie. I guess he won't be able to walk by then and will need a cane." Chen Lina said.

Leng Qi patted his arms and said, "Of course. Look at him, he tortures himself every day, doesn't eat on time, and buries himself in work all day. He might not even live to see his golden wedding anniversary. If he is going to die, I will take you and Anna to celebrate the golden wedding anniversary with me."

"Nian Gong, Leng Qi is so rude, aren't you going to give him a beating?" Anna asked.

Nie Bozhao was pasting window decorations. "No, why would I beat him up? I was going to tell you the story of his wedding night with Ma Xiaofang."

Leng Qi was frightened in a second. "Bo Zhao, I'm a bad mouth. I'm a bad mouth. By that time, I guess I'll be buried in the coffin. Maybe you'll be the one to hold Anna and Xiao Chen's golden wedding together."

Since marrying Anna, Leng Qi has been particularly restrained. He has painted his past as particularly beautiful, and his experiences in Hongyan as particularly great and glorious. If Nie Gong had revealed that he had pressed Ma Xiaofang's crotch, Anna would definitely have hated him and would not have asked him to sleep with her again.

Compared to the liveliness at the man's house, the woman's house is a bit deserted.

It happened to be the weekend, and Nie Weimin and Liu Xiaohong, who had been released from prison, were here pretending to be relatives.

The wedding dress was a red suit and skirt, which was made for Dr. Du by Chen Lina using the sewing machine at home.

The red leather shoes were purchased from Uru by Chen Lina's special client.

Doctor Du walked in and tried it, then exclaimed, "It's a little bit cornered, what should I do?"

"Don't be afraid, I'll find a rolling pin and hit it for you, and it will open," said Liu Xiaohong.

Doctor Du was about to take off her clothes and try on a skirt, and Nie Weimin and Liu Xiaohong came out holding shoes.

"Master, do you have a rolling pin? We can use it." Liu Xiaohong asked when they arrived at the kitchen of the guesthouse.

It was not time for the kitchen staff to start work yet, and no one paid any attention to her. Only a young man sitting on the floor reading a comic book said, "Look for it on the chopping board yourself."

Nie Weimin put his hands in his pockets. It was his first time entering a hotel kitchen, so he was quite curious and looked around.

He always felt that the young man in the kitchen looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was.

After using the rolling pin to rub the heels for a long time, Liu Xiaohong tried them on herself and found that they no longer pinched her feet. She said to the young man, "I've used this rolling pin to rub the heels of my shoes before. You guys definitely can't use it. How about this? I'll buy it for you. Do you think it's okay?"

"It's not that troublesome. Just throw it away." The boy didn't even raise his head and was still flipping through his comic books.

Liu Xiaohong felt it was a pity to throw the rolling pin away and wanted to talk to the chef about it, but Nie Weimin pulled her out of the kitchen.

Liu Xiaohong was still holding a rolling pin in her hand, so she said, "We have to compensate him a little. It's not good to take away his rolling pin like this."

Nie Weimin snorted, but held Liu Xiaohong down, preventing her from going any further.

There is a curtain hanging on the kitchen door, but it is only half closed. Why? Because it is to keep out flies, but also to prevent people from bumping into each other when going in and out to serve the dishes.

Liu Xiaohong was holding the two shoes and was about to speak when she heard someone inside say, "Come out, the two people have already left."

"Originally it was Chen Tiantian who was flirting, but now it's Liu Xiaohong who is flirting. Let me tell you, one time when my mother and I were going to the farm, we saw her flirting with Nie Weimin on the roadside. They were so close to each other. Unlike Chen Tiantian who was flirting openly, she was more secretive." The girl had a very sour voice. Liu Xiaohong thought it sounded familiar and she immediately remembered that this was her former classmate, Liu Suiwa.

She was furious and was about to rush in with a rolling pin in hand, but Nie Wei-min stopped her with his elbow, pointed at her nose, glared at her, and would not let her leave.

"If she wasn't so slutty, how could she have gone to high school? Let me tell you, her aunt Chen Lina is also a slut. She even dared to offend the district chief. If she hadn't slept with him, how could she be so righteous? Maybe her place in high school was obtained by Chen Lina sleeping with Principal Chai." The other voice was familiar to Liu Xiaohong. It was Du Lanlan.

It's lunchtime now and no one comes into the kitchen anymore.

The young man said, "You two are such troublemakers. Hurry up and wash the dishes, or the chef will come in and scold you two again. By the way, we are going to have a drink tonight. Do you two want to come?"

"Those guys you know are all hooligans. They like to pinch and touch everyone they see. We won't go," said the two girls.

"By the way, I heard that a leader from Shanghai will be staying in our guesthouse soon. Lanlan, have you told your aunt? I really can't wash dishes anymore. I'd better be a waiter and serve the leader better. Maybe I can go to Shanghai in the future." Liu Suiwa said while washing the dishes.

As the saying goes, ambition is high, but life is thin. Du Lanlan said, "My aunt said that I am not tall enough to go upstairs, but you are tall enough. Why don't you just tell your leader? Our manager is quite interested in you."

"He's already thirty and he's interested in me, but I find it disgusting."

Liu Xiaohong was so angry that she wanted to rush in, but Nie Weimin pointed at her nose and refused to let her in.

"Hey, if it weren't for that bitch Chen Tiantian, do you think I could wash dishes here?" Du Lanlan sighed and said.

At this time, the young man sitting on the ground spoke up, "Can you two stop talking about my wife? If you continue to talk about her, get out of the guesthouse."

"Who is his wife?" Liu Xiaohong understood something and asked Nie Weimin quietly.

Her family was not well off, and now Chen Lili and Chen Lina were not well off. She was wearing Chen Lili's old clothes and dressed like a woman. But her face was pretty and her eyes were big. When she was scared, her mouth slightly opened. Her expression was exactly like the little rabbit that Nie Weimin raised when he was a child.

She has smiling eyes. When she smiles, her two big eyes bend, which makes her look better.

"This is Youbu, the one who kidnapped Tiantian. The police cracked down on him several times but couldn't find him. No one expected that he was hiding in the kitchen of the guesthouse." said Nie Weimin.

After all, herdsmen move around very quickly, and it’s just a matter of a felt bag. But the man in the family made a mistake and ran away as soon as his butt was slapped. The police found Youbu’s house several times. In addition to cows and sheep, there were only a group of orphans and widows. Poor pot. You can't even open it, and you have to deposit some consolation money before leaving.

Yubu has six older brothers. The brothers form a team and are now the backbone of the oil thieves in the mining area.

Yu Donghai searched everywhere for him every day, but he didn't expect that Youbu was hiding in the kitchen of the guesthouse.

The Shanghai inspection team is about to arrive. The mining area now has only this one guesthouse. The Shanghai officials want to cooperate with the mining area, but one thing they are wary of is the chaos in the mining area.

This landmine is buried in the guesthouse. If it explodes, how can the Shanghai inspection team cooperate with the mining area?

Liu Xiaohong covered her mouth with her hand.

She was about to rush in because of some slanderous remarks made by Du Lanlan and Liu Suiwa, and Nie Weimin would not have been able to hear the important information.

"Youbu, how much money did you make from selling oil this time? Can you lend me some?" said Liu Suiwa.

"Get lost! My money belongs to my wife, I won't give it to you bastards to spend."

"Chen Tiantian is a bitch. You are really blind to still be thinking about her."

"If you curse my wife again, I'll beat you up." Youbu slammed the comic book on Liu Suiwa's head, messing up her hair, and said, "Look at what a fat woman you are. My wife works in a woolen textile factory, and she's the most beautiful girl."

Having said that, Youbu threw the curtain open and came out.

Next to the kitchen was the warehouse, and Nie Weimin pushed Liu Xiaohong directly into it.

The warehouse is narrow, and it contains various dried goods, vermicelli, eggs, and various canned goods for cooking.

"It's so scary. This man still calls Tiantian his wife. Sooner or later, he will kidnap Tiantian." Liu Xiaohong said.

The door was closed. Nie Weimin heard Liu Suiwa and Du Lanlan finish washing the dishes, continue gossiping about their careers, and walk away. Only then did he put his hand on the door.

Liu Xiaohong was holding a pair of red leather shoes and a rolling pin, and was about to go out. But just as she took a step forward, Nie Weimin suddenly turned around and kissed her.

This wasn't the kind of kiss he occasionally gave his sister, a smack on the forehead.

He was very serious. He kissed her on the lips. There was still the taste of the orange candy he had eaten in the room just now between her lips and teeth. After the kiss, he turned around and walked out as if nothing had happened.

At that moment, Liu Xiaohong's heart suddenly started beating fast and her face turned red with embarrassment.

There came a slap on Nie Weimin's back, followed by another hard pinch.

This guy is quite tall, wearing a large navy blue cotton jacket. The jacket makes him look fat while he is thin and tall, so he looks empty when he takes the jacket.

Nie Weimin suddenly raised his hand, and the door, which was half open, gradually closed again.

Liu Xiaohong thought someone was coming, so she pricked up her ears to listen, but Nie Weimin turned his head and this time he pressed his lips firmly against hers and gave a kiss. Then he opened the door, turned around and ran away.

If he doesn't run away this time, Liu Xiaohong will beat him to death with that rolling pin.

"Why did you take so long? Where are your shoes? Did your ankle get stuck?" Doctor Du had already put on her red skirt, but it was cold in the mining area in winter, so she was still wearing cotton pants underneath, which looked neither Chinese nor Western and made her look ridiculous.

Liu Xiaohong said, "Doctor Du, please take off your cotton pants. You'll be in the car in a little while. It doesn't look right to wear a skirt over cotton pants."

"My little classmate, let me tell you, beauty is not as important as health. Doctors pay more attention to physical health than others. Listen outside to see if anyone has arrived. Call Nie Weimin in and quickly block the door. Try to get more red envelopes."

Nie Weimin rushed in immediately, holding a handle in his hand, and pushed it against the door, with an attitude of one man blocking a thousand men. "Uncle Yu, red envelopes, we want red envelopes."

Yu Donghai was in a hurry for everything. He had just returned from a mission and was anxious to bring his wife home. He pushed the door open but couldn't, so he turned around and asked the people behind him, only to find out that there was such a thing as a red envelope.

The red envelope was prepared for him by Chen Lina, but it is said that the less red envelopes one gives out, the more auspicious it is.

As for the bride, it is said that the more she gets, the more auspicious it is, so this is just a matter of argument.

Yu Donghai slammed the door and said, "Nie Weimin, your girlfriend is outside. Open the door quickly. Be careful, the girl is waiting anxiously."

"Uncle Yu, stop lying and give me the red envelope right away."

"I'm serious, you're both outside. You'll freeze to death if you don't open the door. Hurry up." As he said that, Yu Donghai stuffed a small red envelope in.

Nie Weimin gave the red envelope to Liu Xiaohong and said, "Hurry up and take a look at how much money it is."

Liu Xiaohong took it off and saw, "Wow, one cent."

"Uncle Yu, give me a bigger one. We want a big unity." Nie Weimin was shouting, but there were a group of police outside. There was strength in numbers, and the door was about to be pushed open. "The big unity is here. If you loosen up a little, you will get it." As he said that, he stuffed another one in. Liu Xiaohong took it apart and said, "Ah, another one cent."

Seeing that Nie Weimin could no longer hold out, Du Baozhen asked for two dimes, and she jumped up in anger and went to the door herself. "Yu Donghai, there is no big reunion today, so don't even think about asking me to open the door for you."

Leng Qi was standing at the back, smoking a cigarette. He saw that the argument was going on and the police outside were too incompetent to open the door. So he was in a hurry to go back and toast everyone before having dinner.

Anna, a pregnant woman, has been busy all day, and now she is still helping them prepare wine. Marrying a daughter-in-law should be done quickly and they should enter the bridal chamber as soon as possible.

"You can't handle a little brat named Nie Weimin wearing open-crotch pants. Get out of my way."

Leng Qi waved everyone away, kicked out his foot, and directly overturned the door of the guesthouse.

Yu Donghai stepped on the door and rushed in with the police. Seeing Nie Weimin and Liu Xiaohong trembling with fear, he asked loudly, "Nie Weimin, where is our Doctor Du?"

"Uncle Yu, there's something pressing down on the door panel."

"Ah?" The group of police officers who had just stepped through the door were so frightened that they pushed and shoved and fell to the ground.

Yu Donghai had never thought that marrying a wife would be so bumpy. The door panel felt soft underneath when he stepped on it. It was estimated that with so many people stepping on it, Du Baozhen would definitely be trampled to death.

His legs went limp and he almost fainted. Du Baozhen, who was wearing a red robe and cotton pants, reached out and grabbed his ear. "Here's a big red envelope of ten yuan. You can't marry me without it."

Well, Yu Donghai was overjoyed, then sad, and then happy again. He was so confused that he took out a handful of red envelopes and put them all into Liu Xiaohong's hands.

As soon as his new daughter-in-law hugged him, he was ready to go home.
