Chapter 182
Oil grabber
"Nie Weimin, what do you mean today?" As soon as the new bride left, the room was empty.
Nie Weimin was packing up when a rolling pin hit his head.
"Wang Sitian, you tigress, why did you hit me for no reason?" Nie Weimin said, rubbing his head.
"You know what you did."
"What do I know? I know. Just tell me." Nie Weimin said.
Liu Xiaohong glared at him for a long time, put her finger on her mouth, wiped it twice with her sleeve, pointed at his nose and said, "If you dare to act like a hooligan again, I will send you to the police station. I mean what I say." She was almost crying with anger.
Nie Weimin ignored it. He put all the melon seeds, candies, and Dr. Du's changed clothes together and started to check out.
As these things belong to my mother's family, they cannot be sent to the Armed Forces today. They have to be brought back by Doctor Du himself, which is also a taboo.
As for Du Baozhen, she had cut off contact with Jiao Laidie, who had already been sent to labor reform, and Du Qiming, who worked on the farm, and now lived in a health hospital.
When the two of them were checking out, a small incident occurred.
The female accountant who was sitting by the window collecting money was calculating with an abacus. It was probably the firecrackers that Yu Donghai and his men had just set off that had not burned out, and suddenly exploded at the accountant's feet. The accountant was so scared that she ran away from the front desk.
She came back after the fireworks were over. She argued for a while about how much money she had to pay for the betting. She also had a quarrel with Liu Xiaohong about the price. She put down all the money that Yu Donghai had staked, and the matter was settled.
When they went out into the courtyard of the guesthouse, they saw Du Lanlan and Liu Suiwa sweeping the red sugar wrappers on the ground.
There is nothing wrong with these two women, except that they are rude.
To be honest, if there are a few women like them in a unit, there will be no peace. Similarly, if there are two girls like them in a mining area, all the women in the mining area will be whores, and they are the most innocent.
The key point is that such a person will never realize how much harm her careless words can cause to others.
"Wei Min, it's getting dark. Where are we going? It's dark and cold. I don't want to go back to the farm. Can you find us a place to stay?" On the street, Liu Xiaohong suddenly became very friendly and said to Nie Wei Min.
She spoke softly and tilted her head, so only Nie Weimin could hear her.
Of course, Du Lanlan, who was sweeping up firecrackers and colorful paper outside, also heard it.
Don’t be fooled by Nie Weimin’s serious expression just now. Before Leng Qi kicked the door, he even knew to pull Du Baozhen away and put a quilt under the door to pretend that there was someone underneath.
At this moment, his face turned red and his heart was beating so fast that he probably was about to burst out of his body.
Nie Weimin saw that the two female students were sweeping the floor nearby. "What are you talking about? Hurry up and go to the health center to deliver the things."
"I don't want to go home. Find us a place to stay tonight. I want to sleep warmly all night."
"Hurry to the health center and shut your mouth." Nie Weimin's face turned red and his voice became hoarse.
"No, I'm going to stay in the mining area tonight."
"Wang Sitian, you are so bold. Didn't you hear me telling you to shut up?" His heart was pounding. Nie Weimin really thought that Liu Xiaohong wanted to do something to him.
After all, they are children. Just now, because Du Lanlan and Liu Suiwa said something to them, he just wanted to kiss Liu Xiaohong to show that he never had any other thoughts about Tiantian.
If there is, it is probably only for her.
But it was just a kiss, and the child was only that old, how could he or she sleep together?
"You tell me what I want to do." Liu Xiaohong continued walking forward, cursing angrily, "It's so cold, who knows how long it will take to wait for the bus? Anyway, I'm not going back to the farm."
The sun melted the snow during the day, and at night the temperature dropped, turning the entire road into a large bare ice rink. The weather would not get better until some frost fell in the middle of the night.
So, the road was slippery at this time. Liu Xiaohong pulled Nie Weimin's sleeve.
"You're crazy! Principal Chai will definitely expel you if he sees you." Nie Weimin's face turned red all the way to his neck.
"But I'm slipping. Can you let me pull me up?" Liu Xiaohong pulled Nie Weimin's sleeve. Seeing that he was so anxious that he was about to cry, she sneered in her heart. There was a bend in the blink of an eye. After turning the bend, it was the back door of the health hospital.
Liu Suiwa and Du Lanlan followed stealthily behind, determined to see where Nie Weimin and Liu Xiaohong were going to act up so they could report them to the police. However, as soon as they turned the corner, Du Lanlan heard a gust of wind and was already alarmed.
Liu Suiwa was still trying to run away, but Liu Xiaohong, who had kicked Du Lanlan down, grabbed her ankle and twisted it, throwing her to the ground.
Grabbing, digging, pulling and grabbing, it was the first time for Nie Weimin to see girls fighting so fiercely.
Liu Xiaohong was lying on the snow, kicking Du Lanlan's head with her feet, and her hands were like a cat playing with each other, and she and Liu Suiwa started fighting.
Even though she fought two people at once, she was not at a disadvantage. After a few kicks, Du Lanlan curled up and dared not say a word. Liu Xiaohong then rolled over and rode on Liu Suiwa's body, and punched her in the mouth. "If you say one more word, am I coquettish? Smell me and see if I am coquettish. You dare to say that my aunt slept with someone else, I will punch your eyes out."
If Nie Weimin hadn't pulled him up as soon as he saw that the situation was not right, Liu Suiwa's eyes would have been smashed by Liu Xiaohong today.
"Do you want to report the crime?" Liu Xiaohong pushed Nie Weimin away, turned around and rode on Du Lanlan again. "Are you thinking of going to the police station to report the crime now, and then letting the police arrest Nie Weimin and me?"
Du Lanlan was afraid that she would hit her in the face, so she covered her face with her hands.
Liu Xiaohong kept tearing it, and finally tore her face out. She said, "Go now and sue me. Your aunt just got married to Yu Donghai today, and their relationship is still fresh and warm. You can go and sue me. But I tell you, Du Lanlan, your father is now in Loulan Farm.
But I am a labor reform prisoner. My father is the director of Mulan Farm, the director of Loulan Farm. He is my uncle. You can slander me as much as you want.
I won't say anything, but I will ask my uncle to assign your father the heaviest work, such as digging ditches and carrying manure. In winter, I will give him the coldest den in the ground and freeze him to death. By then, you will become an orphan, and your life will be a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand times worse than it is now."
"I won't, I won't report it. I just want to go back to the guesthouse now." Du Lanlan howled.
"It's too late." Liu Xiaohong said, "Nie Weimin, go to the guesthouse now and report that you caught two thieves who stole money from the guesthouse's cash register. Hurry up and ask the guesthouse to arrest these two women and send them to the police station."
Nie Weimin really stunned Liu Xiaohong. “Are you really going?”
Liu Xiaohong had a handful of money in her hand, which she grabbed from the drawer when she checked out and the accountant ran away. Of course, she was also the one who set off the firecracker that scared the accountant away.
Five big reunion tickets, a total of fifty yuan, Liu Xiaohong gave thirty to Du Lanlan and twenty to Liu Suiwa, and yelled at Nie Weimin, "Why don't you hurry up?"
Soon, the two girls were taken to the police station.
Although they were only fifteen years old, common sense suggests that fighting is not more important than stealing money, and stealing private money is not more important than stealing public money. In order to make an example of them, the two girls, with the intervention of the leaders of the guesthouse, were sent directly to Loulan Farm.
Outside the police station that was converted from a security team, the lights were still on in the middle of the night.
When Du Lanlan and Liu Suiwa came out, they saw Liu Xiaohong standing on the side of the road, with Nie Weimin following her from a distance.
She smiled, her eyes were as big as copper bells, and she curled her lips in a smile, like a devil.
"How about we go to the guesthouse and I'll get you a room?" Nie Weimin saw Du Lanlan and Liu Suiwa being taken away, and he said very carefully, "I still have the guesthouse ticket that Yu Gongan gave me. I'll get you a room, and then you can go up by yourself, and I'll take you downstairs."
Seeing that Liu Xiaohong was staring at him, he took out all the red envelopes and said, "Twenty-five yuan. We have money."
Liu Xiaohong glared at him and said, "Let's go. There must be a place to stay at the Armed Forces Department tonight. I've already told my mom this week that I won't be going home."
The tigress walked in front, and Nie Weimin followed behind, taking one deep step and one shallow step.
"Don't come to see me again. I won't ride with you to the mining area anymore," said Liu Xiaohong.
Nie Weimin was in great trouble. He wiped his lips with his hand and said nothing.
"If you want to be a bad student, just do it yourself. Don't drag me into this." Liu Xiaohong thought about what Principal Chai said to her. Then she thought about how Chen Lili, although always awkward, always gave her tuition and a dollar a week for living expenses. Then she thought about how Chen Lina even used backdoors to convince the principal. Her eyes were hot, and she walked forward swayingly like a duck on ice.
"Liu Xiaohong."
"Don't pull me."
"We have to go to the Wushi Bar. Yub is there. He is probably meeting with his superior to discuss stealing oil. We have to go and take a look."
"How did you know Yubu was in the Wushi Bar?"
"Didn't he say during the day that he was going to a bar at night? There is only one bar in our mining area, and it's called Wushi Bar. Do you know that the comic book he just read has the three characters Su Xiangdong written on it? Su Xiangdong is the leader of the oil thieves in the entire autonomous region, commonly known as the Oil Tyrant."
So, if the two of them go to the bar now, they will probably be able to meet the legendary number one oil tycoon in the autonomous region, the gang leader that no one has ever seen, Su Xiangdong?
Nowadays, it is not popular to hold a grand banquet at a wedding in the mining area. At most, a sheep is slaughtered, and best friends are invited to come. A table of cold dishes is prepared, and then a few dozen pieces of naan are baked. A pot of mutton soup is stewed and everyone who comes can have a bowl of it.
The soup made with onions, carrots and large pieces of mutton is Erdan's favorite.
But at this time, he couldn't eat in time, because the bridal chamber should be celebrated in a civilized manner, and the army does not tolerate bullying the bride. Bu Erdan is a good singer, and he is singing for everyone in the bridal chamber.
"Anna, you go back and have a rest. I'll take care of the kitchen." Chen Lina said.
From time to time, someone would come and serve them a bowl of soup and take out some naan. Someone had to be on duty in the kitchen tonight, but since no one came for a long time, it was very sleepy.
Anna was also very sleepy. She yawned, held her waist and went back home.
Chen Lina held the sleeping little satellite in her arms and asked Sandan to serve her a bowl of mutton soup and soak it in naan. The mother and son squatted beside the big stove over the fire and started eating, taking turns to eat.
"Mom, why didn't you wear red when you got married?" Sandan said.
Chen Lina thought back, "It was not popular to wear red clothes back then. It is only now that it has become popular."
Sandan looked up at Chen Lina and gently untied her tied hair. "When I grow up, I will buy you a red dress."
"If I wear a red dress when you grow up, I will really look like an old lady named Yao," said Chen Lina.
"No, Mom has never changed." There were little stars in Sandan's eyes. Since he could remember, he had never seen a woman more beautiful than his mother.
The wind was howling outside, and someone came in through the curtains. "Give me a bowl of mutton soup."
Chen Lina saw them and said, "Captain Gao, you are finally here?" Old friends, Gao Dayong and Staff Officer Yu, who Nie Gong had been looking forward to for a long time, came into the kitchen one after another.
"How come our beautiful and generous Director Chen has turned into Yang Bamei?" Yu Lianhai walked in rubbing his hands and was immediately shocked.
Chen Lina was holding her sister, afraid that the child would catch a cold, so she didn't dare to get up and asked Dandan to serve soup to the two of them. "You go sit next door, the mutton soup will be ready in a while."
Julien Hai was already sitting on the firewood pile. "Why bother? Eating around the fire would be more delicious."
After they talked, Chen Lina realized that the two should have arrived this morning, but the border was recently preparing for war with the Soviet Union, and the military’s travel was strictly checked. They were delayed in Ulu for a whole day. In the evening, after the review and confirmation that they were here to visit relatives, they were allowed to pass.
Several people sat opposite each other around a hot stove eating mutton soup. Chen Lina asked about Comrade Xiao Bao's recent situation. When she heard that she had given birth to two big fat boys, she was sincerely happy for her.
As for Gao Dayong, he already has two fat boys. This time he comes back, he can just get the evidence with Yuan Hua. After a period of ups and downs, he has become much more stable than before, but his hair has turned gray early, and his temples are already white.
"Is your Nie Weixing so big?" Yu Lianhai dug into the mutton for a while before he realized that there was a girl wrapped in Chen Lina's coat in her arms.
The international brand coat worth 500 yuan is now used by Chen Lina as a concubine by the fire.
Chen Lina laughed and said, "Of course she is. She is already one year and nine months old. She is very talkative now. All of us in the family combined cannot talk as well as she can."
Yu Lianhai patted his chest and said, "I have a big yellow croaker that she gave me. I have kept it in my shirt pocket. When she gets married, I will give it to her."
"Mom, mom, where is my dad?" With frost on his shoulders, Nie Weimin came in panting.
When Chen Lina saw Liu Xiaohong following behind, she realized that she had so many children that she had forgotten about the two older ones.
"Come over and have some mutton soup. The wedding is almost over. Why did you two cancel the room just now? Have you eaten yet?"
"The oil thieves were planning to smash the oil wells next to our No. 1 base tonight. We saw them all gathered in a bar, each with a large kerosene barrel.
Moreover, we have discovered where the oil is hidden, in the wasteland behind the wool textile factory. There are pits dug everywhere, and the oil barrels are hidden in the pits." said Nie Weimin.
Sandan was about to go find a laborer, but Gao Dayong waved his hand and said, "Xu Yu is getting married today, so don't make it public. We can just go and do it." He said, "Dandan, quietly call your father."
If the goal is to destroy an oil well, the nodding machine must be smashed and its belt cut.
Nowadays, all kowtow machines are imported from the Soviet Union. Each machine has a belt. If the belt is gone, the kowtow machine worth thousands of dollars will have to be scrapped.
Crude oil is gushing out, and if those oil thieves smoke while stealing oil, they may easily start a fire, and once it burns, a large area of oil wells will be destroyed.
Nie Gong had just forced Leng Qi to drink a few glasses of wine. He never drinks, but the smell of alcohol was overwhelming.
"Dad, we didn't see him, but we heard from people in the bar that Su Xiangdong is the legendary oil tyrant who controls all the oil thieves." Nie Weimin said again.
"Su Xiangdong, the dragon is not known from the beginning. He has destroyed many kowtow machines. It is our honor to see his true appearance today." Nie Gong asked Yu Lianhai and Gao Dayong, "Did you bring guns with you?"
“I have it with me.”
"Then hurry up, Lian Hai, and let your brother have a peaceful wedding tonight." said Nie Gong.
The two people who had just arrived had not even seen the bride and groom. After eating a bowl of hot mutton soup, they were ready to leave.
Nie Weimin and Liu Xiaohong were sitting on Chen Lina's left and right respectively, digging into their mutton soup.
However, Nie Weimin never ate cakes. When he had no vegetables to eat, he just chewed a raw onion.
Liu Xiaohong likes to eat naan. There is not much mutton in the dish. The soup is full of naan. She eats it bite by bite. The melted naan is actually very delicious.
"Xiaohong, that's a scratch on your head. Who hit you? It wasn't Nie Weimin, right?" Chen Lina still felt that the atmosphere between the two children was not right.
There are several obvious marks on Liu Xiaohong's face.
Liu Xiaohong said, "No, I ran into two thieves when I came out of the guesthouse and we had a fight."
Nie Weimin said in a sullen voice, "Mom, you didn't see how fiercely those two thieves beat her. I'm afraid she might hit her harder and kill someone by accident. She will have to be sent to labor reform."
Through Chen Lina, Liu Xiaohong stared at Nie Weimin fiercely.
He stared back at Liu Xiaohong seriously and frankly, then suddenly reached out his hand, touched his lips, shrugged and smiled.
I kissed you, what can you do about it? It's unreasonable.
Chen Lina was holding a little one in her arms, with a baby sleeping beside her. She was still worried in her heart whether Nie Gong and Gao Dayong could directly take down the oil tyrant.
Otherwise, if Deng Dongya comes and the mining area is still in such a mess, will people just turn around and leave?
Of course, she would never have thought that the pigs she had fed for eight years would eventually grow cabbages.
As for Su Xiangdong, Chen Lina recalled the name and suddenly an idea flashed through her mind. She thought, he is also an old friend. How could he arrive at the mining area so early?
