Chapter 192
Group fight
In Shanghai, Deng Chun was just a small thug who followed the big gangsters around, picked up cigarettes and served as a gatekeeper and keep watch.
New place, new environment, the children in the mining area are as simple as carrots.
Of course he wanted to do something big, for example, recruit a few younger brothers first, then dominate the base, and then dominate the mining area. Whoever comes to the mining area in the future will have to worship him as the boss. How great it would be.
However, as the son of a great leader, he felt that Chen Lina didn't take him seriously enough. She actually asked him to help Erdan move the gauze bags. With his skinny body, there was no way he could carry the gauze bags.
However, Erdan was really considerate of him and basically moved all the things that belonged to him.
Erdan, who is tall and strong, is simply an incomparable and friendly little brother. He serves tea and water and asks about Deng Chun's well-being every day. Even when Deng Chun can't walk home at night and asks him to carry him, he will squat without hesitation and carry Deng Chun on his back.
The desert is filled with solitary smoke and the sky is wide and the land is vast. It is nothing like the winding alleys in Shanghai, which are crowded with people everywhere.
Deng Chun is so beautiful and happy that he would run out of the base at any time. He simply loves this base.
Working in a clothing factory is paid. Deng Chun was poor, so he worked with Erdan for a week and finally waited for the finance office to pay them.
"Ah, only two yuan and a dime, three dime a day?" Deng Chun's heart sank when he saw the handful of notes. "I tell you, I want to drink the best soda and smoke the best cigarettes. What can I do with this little money? No, we have to think of a way to make more money, a way to make money faster, and let the idiots move the gauze bags."
Erdan and Sandan are the kind of kids who have no concept of money.
However, Erdan was also quite excited when he heard that he could make a lot of money.
After all, Li Mingcheng now has a guitar, and singing with it every day is more fun than playing the harmonica. Erdan is jealous and wants to have one too.
So, the two of them ran to Chen Lina and asked for leave, saying that they didn't want to work in the garment factory anymore and wanted to go out and find other jobs.
"Deng Chun, is the food Auntie cooks delicious? You eat a lot every day and you're not hungry, so why do you still want money?" Chen Lina asked.
Deng Chun calls her mom instead of auntie. "The food mom cooks is really delicious, and I'm not hungry, but we want to find a job that's easier and more profitable. Is there anything wrong with that? Just let us go out and have some fun, okay?"
In addition to taking care of his sister, Sandan also had to move the gauze bags, but he didn't complain as much as Deng Chun.
As for Erdan, he was the only one in the family who had been dragged into the water by Deng Chun. He also started to rebel. "Mom, I want to buy a guitar. If we find a good place to make money, I can get a guitar. I have finished the high school entrance examination and my studies. You promised that you would not care about me after I finished the exam."
Isn't Chen Lina busy right now? Besides, Deng Chun is a child who has been corroded by bad thoughts and his ideas have been completely changed. He has his own ideas and you can't convince him by preaching to him.
Sandan is calm and sensible. Chen Lina is busy herself, so she wants Sandan to look after the child first.
As for children, you can break them if you want, but you have to let them suffer a little first.
Deng Chun seems to like his sister very much, but of course he dislikes Sandan. When Erdan asks him why, he says, "My sister doesn't bite."
Erdan was surprised. "My sister is not a dog, why would she bite me?"
Deng Chun said bitterly, "You don't know, my sister really likes to bite me. At first I was quite afraid of Nie Weixing, afraid that she would bite me like that. If she wanted to bite me, I would have to push her away. If I pushed her away, she would cry, and my mother would beat me."
The younger sister doesn't look like a puppy at all. The more Erdan looked at her, the cuter she seemed. Since they had two dollars, he and Deng Chun decided not to look for jobs first, but to take the younger sister to a state-owned store and buy her a bottle of soda.
Sandan had just gone to the toilet when he came out and saw that the two elder brothers had already taken their sister away.
He turned around and stopped the two of them. "Deng Chun, this is a mining area. There are big trucks on the road. Children can't run around. Besides, we can't take my sister out of the factory. This is a strict rule set by my mother."
"Rules are dead, but people are alive. Let's go quietly and not tell mom, okay?" Deng Chun hugged his sister and kissed her, and she kissed him back.
That’s great. This little sister is also small, but she never bites people. She is so cute.
Sandan was furious. "If we don't tell Mom about anything we do, isn't that a lie? You can lie on your own. Anyway, I won't lie to Mom."
"You can't leave the factory, be good, brother." The younger sister also said.
"I'm buying candy for my sister. Can I take it out of the factory?" Deng Chun said again.
"No." said Sandan.
Deng Chun ignored Sandan and started to coax his sister. "Do you like to drink soda? Do you like to eat spiced melon seeds? The state-owned store also has hair bands with colorful beads. Brother will buy one for you, okay?"
When the younger sister saw that the third brother was particularly angry, she clenched her fists and looked at Deng Chun. She always asked everyone not to fight, so she said, "No, don't do that."
"You must want it in your heart. Come on, follow me." Deng Chun said, carrying his sister and ready to leave.
As a result, he was hit with a punch and his nose was wiped, and he was already bleeding.
"You are so good, Nie Weijiang, you actually dare to hit me. Big brother, he beat up your little brother, beat him up." Deng Chun said, giving his sister to Erdan, and rushed over to ride on Sandan.
The younger sister was crying loudly in Erdan's arms. If Erdan didn't do anything, wouldn't that be the same as helping Deng Chun?
Deng Chun was experienced and Sandan was no match for him, so soon Deng Chun also broke his nose. The sister was still crying, Deng Chun was still beating her, Sandan kicked and kicked her, and soon the two of them turned into two mud balls.
This was the beginning of Deng Chun’s first gunfight after arriving at the mining area.
And on the other side.
The next day, Nie Weimin, Gao Xiaobing and Liu Xiaohong followed Guo Bin and went to visit Hu Yanglin again.
This time, when they put on new clothes, they had to pretend that they were going on a picnic, traveling, sightseeing, or reading together.
In a word, the scenery is magnificent, the boys and girls are full of vigor, and the Daidaihong color film that is used now will be used by Teacher Jin to develop the photos in the makeshift darkroom in the evening. The dazzling colors of the color photos, the innocent smile on Gao Xiaobing's doll face, Liu Xiaohong's two clear big eyes, and the light plateau red on their faces, which is unique to children from frontier areas, are all captured vividly.
It was the first time for the three children to see their own photos printed in color. When they heard that each of them could take one home as a souvenir, Gao Xiaobing was immediately excited, "Uncle Jin, I'll pay for it, please, can you give me three? These photos are so beautiful."
As for Liu Xiaohong, she ran to another tent and ironed the clothes she would wear tomorrow with Chen Tiantian.
"After the photos are published in newspapers, we will distribute these clothes to state-owned stores in major cities. Believe it or not, Tiantian, they will be sold out in full," said Liu Xiaohong.
Chen Tiantian used an iron iron that was heated by coal briquettes and was filled with steam.
"Yes, Auntie Xiao Chen said that many children will mobilize their parents to move to Umayyi because they see that your learning environment is so good. She also said that after this year's work is over, she will send me to study for a Red Expert next year, and then let me go on business trips with Director He to do sales."
"Really? Doesn't it mean the salary is much higher if you work in sales?" Liu Xiaohong said.
Chen Tiantian raised five fingers and said, "January 55th."
"It's great to be able to make money." Liu Xiaohong said as she came out of the accounting tent.
In the evening, she, Gao Xiaobing, and Nie Weimin had to do their homework together, as they were students. After finishing, they would squeeze into a tent with Gao Xiaobing and then go to bed early.
As for Chen Tiantian, she would go to bed later than them. Firstly, she had to be an assistant to Master Jin and help him develop photos; secondly, she had to prepare some midnight snacks for the reporters and photographers, because people from this city all had the habit of eating midnight snacks.
Originally, Chen Tiantian couldn't cook anything, but in recent years she worked hard to learn how to cook, and now she's quite good at it.
She cooked a pot of the kind of cottage cheese that Chen Lina often cooked, and then dug out the baked potatoes that she had buried in the ground while making dinner.
Then they scooped a large spoonful of yogurt from the bucket of yogurt they had brought with them. This midnight snack was enough for Guo Bin and Master Jin.
These two people are different from the children because they are journalists and have traveled all over the world.
This is the beach in front of the Institute of Nuclear Physics. In front of it is the beautiful Ertix River. The stars are reflected on the river surface, far away, like the sound of the wind or the howling of wolves. It is really refreshing to spend a night here.
Master Jin and Guo Bin chatted as they ate, gnawing on the roasted potatoes with great interest. After they finished roasting, they opened two bottles of beer. They were ready to stay up until at least four in the morning before going to bed.
Chen Tiantian washed all the dishes by the lake, then sat there for a while, absent-mindedly, looking back all the time.
After a while, a flashlight suddenly flickered somewhere in the moonlight. She stood up and ran over there.
As soon as she left, Nie Weimin jumped out of the car.
He came to the tent where she and Gao Xiaobing lived and called out, "Wang Sitian, lazy, come out and wash the dishes."
"Isn't Tiantian taking a shower? I've already gone to bed." Liu Xiaohong said.
Gao Xiaobing also said, "Chen Tiantian is just here to help. We are female students and models. We don't need to wash dishes, huh."
"Why should my Tiantian help you two lazy guys? Wang Sitian, come out and wash the dishes." Nie Weimin said angrily.
Liu Xiaohong put on her clothes and just came out when Nie Weimin's finger came over to her.
Pulling her, Nie Weimin went in the direction where Tiantian had just quietly run.
"I've been following you for three days, and you only come to see me today?" From the voice, it was indeed that Yubu.
Then, it was Chen Tiantian who spoke, "Don't deposit money for me at the credit union anymore. I don't want your money."
"Isn't all the money I earn yours?"
"Your money is not clean. You thieves injured my father's leg with sand bullets a few days ago. Youbu, I know you are cunning and the police can't catch you, but please, don't send me money anymore."
"I just want to ask you, have you read the comic book I gave you?"
"Yeah, I saw it."
"Yan Poxi cheated on her husband, so she deserved to die. Lin Chong ran away at night because Gao Yanei bullied his wife. Tiantian, you are my wife, and I will treat you better than Lin Chong treats his wife. All the money I save will be sent to you, but if you dare to be with others, do you know how Yan Poxi and Pan Jinlian died?" You Bu said again.
Chen Tiantian was so frightened that her breathing became choked.
"I won't learn from Song Jiang, he's a wimp. If I want to learn, I'll learn from Wu Song and kill everyone in your family." Youbu said again.
Chen Tiantian cried in a low voice, "How can you let me go?"
"What's there to let go of? When we meet occasionally, just chat with me. I just want to ask you, is Nie Weimin happy today? Which of the two female classmates does he like more?"
Yubu actually asked Liu Xiaohong about Nie Weimin. Chen Tiantian said, "Dadan is a serious kid, different from you guys. There's nothing to like or dislike about him. Don't ask, just leave now."
"Hey, just tell me, it's not that I'm curious, it's someone else, I want to ask about his situation."
Liu Xiaohong turned around and looked at Nie Weimin, and Nie Weimin also looked at Liu Xiaohong.
"You just let Youbu take Tiantian so seriously?" Liu Xiaohong said after they both quietly came back.
Nie Weimin said nothing. He sat on a big rock and threw stones into the water.
Liu Xiaohong hit him and said, "Didn't you hear that Youbu sent money to Tiantian from the credit union every day, and also sent her comic books. After all, she had to accept the money. The comic books of Water Margin were all about fighting and killing. Tiantian was extorted and frightened by him. Don't you understand?"
Nie Weimin continued throwing stones, but suddenly stopped and said, "Didn't you just ask, Wang Sitian, which of the two female classmates did Nie Weimin treat better? What do you think, who did I treat better?"
In the moonlight, he was wearing denim jeans, a white shirt, and his hair was shaved into a flat top. His eyes were like his father's, deep and clear.
Liu Xiaohong's heart skipped a beat and she whispered, "How do I know this?"
Very quickly, faster than lightning, Nie Weimin suddenly turned his head and kissed Liu Xiaohong on the lips very quickly, and then said, "Now, who do you think I treat better?"
The fresh scent of mint toothpaste and the smell of soap on the white shirt. After kissing her, he licked his lips and stared at Liu Xiaohong calmly.
This place was a bend in the mountain with a clear front wind, and the moonlight was very dim, so no one would see them. Even Guo Bin, who was drinking, probably didn't know that his little brother was missing.
Liu Xiaohong's heart was beating fast.
To be honest, all the boys in the class were passing little notes to her. That kind of fanatical pursuit didn't seem to affect their studies. They were just under too much pressure, being rushed into their studies by the principal and teachers like donkeys, and they needed a place to vent. It was like passing her a little note could make her blush and get a little scared, and they could get a moment of relaxation in the high-pressure study.
She did not have a natural sense of class superiority over Gao Xiaobing. She was the child with the worst family background in the class, and she was not the smartest. She was their rival in the exams, and she was the only member of the opposite sex that they could fantasize about, tease, play with, or place their ideals on when they looked up from their boring books during adolescence.
But Nie Weimin didn't do that. He took it as a matter of course. Probably from the day Chen Lili adopted her, he treated her as his own property.
Therefore, he was the one with the worst temper towards her in the class. He was the one who would just push the bowl to her after finishing his meal, no matter how difficult the bowl was to wash.
The thing is, he always uses this awkward way to declare his sovereignty and possession to her.
As children who grew up together, Liu Xiaohong may understand Nie Weimin better than Chen Lina.
"I will graduate from here one day, and I belong only to myself, not to anyone else," said Liu Xiaohong.
Nie Weimin could not understand Liu Xiaohong. He was the son of the district chief and his mother was the youngest, most beautiful and most popular cadre in the entire mining area.
He never failed any exams, and even Principal Chai, who had the worst temper, treated him as a brother. He could not understand Liu Xiaohong's pain and struggle of having no sense of belonging and trying hard to live out her own life.
"You are mine, and I am being targeted by someone. The person targeting me is Yu Bu's boss. Now everyone in the autonomous region is talking about him, the oil tyrant Su Xiangdong." Nie Weimin swung the comic strip in his hand. Seeing Liu Xiaohong slapping him, he was so angry that he almost jumped up. "Can you calm down and stick to the facts? Wang Sitian, are you a tigress?"
"Then tell me, why did Youbu look for Chen Tiantian?"
"We're going home tomorrow, so we can take a day off. Come to my house for dinner first, and my dad and I will analyze the situation for you."
Their homework is too heavy. The teachers require them to be omnipotent and know everything under the sun. They are required to have every formula and every piece of history in their minds and be able to answer them fluently at any time.
He's just an adolescent. It's not that he is inherently bad. It's just the effect of hormones and the rebound after being suppressed for a long time. He is different from other children. At least in his eyes, this girl belongs to him.
So, he especially liked the feeling of touching and smelling her lips and their skin touching each other.
Sooner or later, they would get married, and she belonged to him. Several boys in the dormitory would lie on the bed at night, betting and bragging together that they would kiss her sooner or later. Nie Weimin never boasted about this, he would just beat them up.
Because Liu Xiaohong is his.
But Liu Xiaohong doesn't think so.
The tigress kicked over and almost pushed Nie Weimin off the rock into the water, then turned around and ran away.
You can go home in a blink of an eye.
Sitting in the jeep, several girls in the back were flipping through photos, and Nie Weimin was also very happy.
He hasn't been home since he had a month of intensive tutoring during the summer vacation.
I guess my sister has grown a lot taller and has become more skillful in talking. Mom will definitely cook a table full of dishes to welcome them. As for Dad, oh, Nie Weimin has a lot to talk to him about, so he has to organize his thoughts quickly.
As soon as they got off the car, Guo Bin and Master Jin were also going to have dinner at Nie's house. In little Nie's mind, besides a large table of delicious food, there was also eternal unity, and as long as he returned home, his two younger brothers and a younger sister would be waiting for him outside the new gate of the base.
As a result, Xiao Nie brought a group of people home today, but he didn't see his two younger brothers.
Well, he was a little nervous, so he parked the car and entered the house.
Oh, good fellows, Chen Lina and her son, there were three of them standing neatly in the yard, all of them had bruised faces and noses, it was obvious that they had been fighting.
The younger sister was holding her own small cup and standing on tiptoe to feed water to Sandan, who had a bruised face and nose.
Apparently, these three naughty kids have been punished to stand for a long time.
