Chapter 199

Recruiting younger brothers

Leng Qi was finally coaxed by Nie Gong into Yu Gongan's car, because Nie Gong told him that Yu Gongan's jeep was the newest car approved for the mining area and was Beijing Jeep's newest car.

Leng Qi felt itchy and went to try the steering wheel.

It was the first time for the little satellite to go away from home. He leaned on the window and called out "oh" whenever he saw a tree or a flower, and pointed them out to Deng Chun.

Perhaps Chen Lina drove too hard, and Deng Chun felt dizzy after a while. So they had no choice but to replace him with a worker, who always had one thing in mind: he drove steadily.

Four hundred kilometers, it would take at least five or six hours to get there. Seeing that the child was in so much pain that he couldn't even lift his head, Chen Lina asked, "Do you want some water? Maybe you'll feel better if you drink some water?"

"No, I will vomit if I drink it." Deng Chun said, shaking his head.

Chen Lina held his head in her arms, wiped his eyes, and said, "Then go to sleep. You won't feel dizzy when you sleep."

"I want to vomit in the car, will you just send me back?" Deng Chun seemed to be particularly concerned about this.

"If you want to vomit, get off the bus and vomit. Then come back and we'll continue on our way. But if you want to smoke, I'll throw you out on the road and never bring you back. Let the wolves eat you."

"My new mother and father got married and went on a trip. I vomited on the way." Deng Chun's eyes were red. "They turned back halfway and left me at home."

Although I am a new mother, I am very happy to be able to go on a trip with my parents.

Deng Chun will always remember that he wanted to travel happily, but he ended up vomiting on the way, and his new mother looked at him with disgust. From then on, he didn't love her, and she didn't love him either.

Chen Lina said, "I promise I won't send you home, so hurry up and eat."

"Then can I eat?" Deng Chun was indeed hungry. In order to avoid vomiting on the way out, the child quietly poured out his breakfast and didn't eat a single bite.

But probably because he was not nervous, he did not vomit during the journey. By the time he got off the bus, his stomach was already full.

Hami's various supply and marketing cooperatives and state-owned stores also have cooperative relationships with clothing factories.

Moreover, if you want to make a piece of clothing privately now, you probably don’t know where to sell it. But if you want to wholesale clothing from Shanghai clothing factories, you still have to find connections and get approval.

Therefore, the leaders of the state-owned large store came forward to receive Chen Lina and specially approved several spacious and bright guest rooms for her in the Tuha Petroleum Reception Building. Although the price was a bit higher, this kind of guest room was usually only occupied by high-level leaders.

There was only one labor reform team in Hami. Inside the Corps Farm, Nie Gong and Leng Qi abandoned Chen Lina and the children and found a fried noodles restaurant on the roadside. They each had a big bowl of fried noodles and two pounds of pork, and after eating their fill, they went straight to the Corps Farm.

Chen Lina, on the other hand, was walking on the street with a few children, and she asked them what they wanted to eat.

Erdan's eyes widened. "Mom, look at that girl's big earrings."

Compared to the mining area, this place is really fashionable. In the mining area, Chen Lina is the most fashionable woman, no doubt about it. But here, her little liberation outfit is too plain, and her skirt is not as short as those girls here.

Moreover, there are more things dumped here from the Soviet Union, all foreign garbage. No matter what the young men do, they are all wearing suits with big shoulders that are sagging.

"Mom, how about we eat donkey meat? They say there is dragon meat in the sky and donkey meat on the ground." Erdan said when he saw a stall selling donkey meat.

Sandan shook his head as soon as he saw the sign. "Brother, there are only two tables in this shop. The ink on the words 'donkey' is not dry yet. Moreover, a pound of donkey is only 50 cents. It's cooked donkey. It must be from a dirty place. This is a shady shop."

Erdan was very greedy and couldn't take his eyes off the cooked donkey meat. When Sandan pulled him away, he put his eyes on the girl's thighs.

"Nie Weiguo, why are you staring at that sister's thighs?" Chen Lina suddenly said.

Deng Chun has experience: "He wants to find someone."

Some girls were wearing Russian tulle skirts, their legs tanned into a wheat color by the sun. The legs of these girls from border areas were used to running, so there was not a trace of fat on them. Chen Lina wanted to whistle when she saw them, let alone Erdan who was about to enter puberty.

"What girls hate most is boys staring at them. Even though you are a child, you are fourteen or fifteen, and you look old. Your body shape looks like you are eighteen. Girls will really hate you if you stare at people like this." Chen Lina gave Erdan advice in a low voice.

Erdan was actually quite stupid, so he quickly turned his head back and said, "Okay, Mom, I won't watch it anymore."

My sister pointed to a place and said, "Mom, I want to eat."

Chen Lina looked and saw a few tables at the entrance of a small alley with bowls of yogurt on them.

The girl guarding the stall was a very pretty girl, the typical Uyghur girl, with a bit of plump but not too plump. Wow, she was really pretty.

Her yogurt is also good, with a layer of yellow fat on top.

It was cheaper than the other restaurants I had asked about before, only 30 cents a bowl, and they were allowed to eat their own food.

Chen Lina was holding the fried pancakes she had made, and was afraid that the girl would not eat them, so she said, "We are Han Chinese, but these pancakes are made with sheep fat. Would you mind eating one?"

The girl took the pancake from Chen Lina, smelled it, took a bite, but kept squeezing her eyes.

My sister likes to eat yogurt. When Sandan feeds her a bowl of fried dough, she takes a mouthful of yogurt. After finishing a bowl, she still wants more. So Sandan gives her some of his bowl and feeds her slowly.

Deng Chun's face was still yellow, his eyes darted around, but he didn't say a word.

Chen Lina felt that something was wrong with the child, and suddenly felt around and asked, "Oh, my wallet is missing. Who took it?"

Next to them was the stall selling donkey meat. A few guys, about fourteen or fifteen years old, had ordered some donkey meat and were getting ready to eat it. But when they heard Chen Lina shouting, they all stopped using their chopsticks.

Deng Chun pulled Chen Lina's clothes and winked at her, "Aunt Chen, let's go. Losing a wallet is a small matter. Let's not cause trouble. Okay?"

Chen Lina understood and guessed that the wallet was stolen by those guys next door. Deng Chun had been a gangster since he was young and was timid, so he was going to run away.

She only took care of a few children, so of course she didn't want to cause trouble, so she picked up her sister and prepared to leave.

As a result, Erdan stood up, picked up a stool and walked over, sat next to the guys, and kept staring at one of them.

"What are you looking at?" The other party was actually quite scared, his eyes were dodging, but he still asked in a firm voice.

Erdan didn't say anything, just stretched out his hand, then made a hook in front of the young man's eyes.

The other three were actually little brats, pretending to be decent people. One of them said, "Brother, don't make trouble. Hurry up and leave. We have a family."

Chen Lina was really afraid that Erdan would get into a fight with someone. Although this kid was a little simple-minded, if he suddenly exploded, he could beat up as many kids as there were in the base. He just didn't take action easily.

So, she was ready to go over and grab the ear and pull the person away.

Unexpectedly, Erdan tapped the table lightly and pressed it, still without saying anything. He just stretched out his hand and stared at the person sitting next to him.

The feeling is that he knows everything and he can hold his own.

The man looked around and suddenly took out a crocheted wallet and handed it to Erdan.

Then, the youngest one started crying, "Brother, we have no money to pay the bill, I want to eat meat." Since they had no money, they had to steal wallets to eat the donkey meat.

Erdan said nothing, took out two yuan from the wallet and gave it to the young man, then returned with the wallet.

Not only was Sandan dumbfounded, even Deng Chun was stunned. "Nie Weiguo, from now on, you are my big brother."

He won without fighting. Chen Lina also wanted to applaud him. What is that called? Big brother style.

She had always thought that in her previous life, Nie Weimin was the brains and Erdan was only responsible for carrying bricks. Now she understood that their dominance in Hongyan had a lot to do with Erdan's aura that could shock the whole audience at critical moments. He was the undisputed boss.

They are already eating their fill of yogurt and cakes. Look, there is some cooked oatmeal sweet dough over there. It smells sweet and is about to be fermented. Chen Lina weighed two kilograms of it and prepared to go back and buy some sugar for the children to drink in the afternoon.

As a result, as soon as she walked away with the children, the thugs followed them.

"Brother, are you still accepting younger brothers? How about we follow you?" The one who just stole Chen Lina's wallet said, "My last name is Lu, double-mouthed Lu. You can just call me Big Lu. That's my second brother, Second Lu, and the youngest is my third brother, Little Lu." When he smiled, the child had a mouthful of four white teeth.

Nie Weiguo looked at Chen Lina, holding his mouth and not daring to say anything.

He is tall, eats well, plays basketball every day, and is tanned. He looks to be at least eighteen years old. These kids treat him as their big brother.

"Where are you from? Are you students here to travel, or locals, or children of factory workers?" Chen Lina asked.

There are oil fields in Hami, but they are the only oil fields. People working in the oil fields are very wealthy, but the indigenous people and outsiders are not so lucky because they have no other side jobs except tourism.

The children looked at each other and said, "We don't have much to do. We came from the mainland. My father used to work in a sand pit, but he died in a landslide two years ago. My mother took the compensation and remarried. We just live in the city."

They steal a little during the peak tourist season, but endanger the people around them during the off-season. Alas, that's what these hooligans are like. They fight, steal, and have no future in their lives.

Erdan was so arrogant just now, but now he is a wretch. "Mom, they want to follow us, what should we do?"

Chen Lina thought to herself, you are a gangster boss, you can handle it yourself, what can I do?

She said, "Ignore it, let's go back to the hotel."

As a result, those little hooligans just kept following Erdan and the others.

As soon as they arrived at the door of the Tuha Oil Guesthouse, one of them suddenly vomited while holding onto a tree. As for the other two, one held his stomach and cried, while the other also squatted down and started vomiting.

After all, they came here with Erdan. What should they do? There was a hospital opposite. Chen Lina had no choice but to send the three gangsters to the hospital again.

"Is it because you ate donkey meat again?" the nurse asked at the hospital registration window.

…

"A few days ago, a donkey drowned in our unit's swimming pool. The soldiers had buried it, but someone dug it out and sold it. Many people were poisoned after eating it." The nurse said, clapping the number, "Hurry up, the doctor is giving everyone intravenous drips."

The nurse saw a bunch of children following Chen Lina, with one in her arms, so she asked, "Big sister, are all these your children?"

Deng Chun immediately hugged Chen Lina from behind, saying in a very sweet voice, "Yes, this is my mother."

Sandan's face suddenly turned bad.

Oh, it's so hard to balance having so many children, they all need love and care. Chen Lina thought to herself, how come I'm so charming and popular? She quickly hugged Sandan and said loudly, "Yes, they are all my sons. Look at how well-behaved and handsome they are."

At the Hami Corps Farm, as soon as Yu Donghai explained his purpose, the farm director let him in.

Seeing so many people coming from Umay, although they were all in plain clothes, those who came from the Public Security Bureau were all very capable men of all ages. Although Leng Qi and Nie Gong were both in plain clothes, Leng Qi had a buzz cut and a fierce look, and Nie Gong looked like a high-ranking official, so the purchasing manager of the Bingtuan Farm naturally paid special attention to him.

"How does Song Jin usually perform?" asked Nie Gong.

The farm manager said, "He is knowledgeable and has a good literary talent. He is good at poetry and painting. He is the publicist of our farm and often helps us prepare speeches. There is nothing to say about him."

"Has anyone come to visit him?" the worker asked again.

The store manager thought for a moment and said, "Yes, his wife often comes to visit him and brings him some nutritional supplements."

Nie Gong and Xiao Nie exchanged glances. It can be said that Song Xiaoyue really never repented until her death.

Yu Gongan took out the picture that Xiao Nie had drawn at that time and asked, "Have you ever seen such a person come to see him?"

This was drawn by Xiao Nie in the snow. It is the only portrait of Su Xiangdong.

The shopping mall manager thought these people were here to make fun of him, so he took a piece of paper and there was only an unfinished draft on it.

But as he watched, he figured out what was going on. "Yes, yes, yes, there was a person who smiled like that. It was probably in September. He came and talked to Song Jin, and then he gave him a letter of guarantee."

Although the shape is not complete, a person's expression can be captured very vividly with just a few strokes.

As he spoke, the shopping manager rummaged through the pile of documents on his desk.

It seems that this is also a factory director who only cares about production and does not allow management, as can be seen from his messy desk.

"This person has never been here again, right? Where is Song Jin? Is he still on the farm?" Yu Donghai asked.

The store manager said, "What a pity! He left yesterday."

"Is this the man who came to pick him up? Wasn't his sentence scheduled to end on November 11? How come you released him yesterday?" Everyone was anxious. They had run over 400 kilometers here, but the man had already been taken away. However, yesterday was September 30th.

The shopping mall manager said, "He performed very well. Besides, he kept saying that his wife was sick, so we moved it up a day..." and let the devil out of the cage.

Yu Donghai suggested chasing the person quickly.

Nie Gong said, "The most important thing for you now is to hurry to the farm. I have a feeling that when Song Jian goes out, the first person he will look for is Liu Xiaohong. Wei Min and I will go to the place where he lived and take a look."

Although Yu Donghai didn't know what Nie Gong was thinking, he immediately obeyed the order and left with the police.

However, because Leng Qi had scolded everyone in the car today and drove several of his men crazy, they firmly asked him to stay. Before Leng Qi could catch up with them, they took several police cars and drove away.

Therefore, Leng Qi, Nie Gong and Wei Min had to go together to see Song Jian's house.

Hami Corps Farm is now basically entirely made up of bungalows.

Song Jin guessed that because of his good performance, he was still living in a single room.

After entering, the laborers, guards, and Leng Qi began to search the house.

Suddenly, Leng Qi cursed, "Fuck you!"

In the corner of the wall, on a red painted table, there is a sketch drawn with a pen, and next to it is a sentence: I will always use the pen to slowly touch your face, your body...

Leng Qi was so angry that he wanted to kill that bastard Song Jin on the spot. How could such a pervert still live in this world?

The picture drawn on it was of Liu Xiaohong when she was a child. It can be seen that even though Song Jin was imprisoned, he never forgot Liu Xiaohong.

Then when he gets out of prison, won't he be targeting his target and committing a crime right away?

The worker continued searching, and suddenly his hand stopped on a box of matches. On the ground, there was a cigarette butt.

The worker picked up the matches, then the cigarette butt, looked at them for a long time, and suddenly said, "We have been taking a detour. Su Xiangdong is not only a fuel tyrant, but he also has a public and legitimate identity, such as a senior engineer at the Shanghai Automobile Factory."

The words "Shanghai Match Factory" were printed on the matchbox, and the cigarettes were not ordinary cigarettes, but Lion brand cigarillos, which were almost non-existent in the mining area. When the worker went to the hospital to visit Deng Dongya, there were these two things next to the ashtray beside the bed.

Deng Dongya even specifically explained at the time that he was not smoking the cigarette himself, but that it belonged to the inspection team and was from the Shanghai Automobile Factory in the Soviet Union.

Looking back, Nie Gong saw that Nie Weimin's face had turned blue, and comforted his son, saying, "Don't be too nervous. Su Xiangdong has a respectable identity. He shouldn't do anything too outrageous. I guess he either wants to release the devil or create a Xuanxu for us."

But how could Nie Weimin not be nervous?

Not only was he nervous, he was also angry and wanted to kill Song Jian.

Imagine if he and Nie Gong had not noticed it very early and predicted the occurrence of this incident, when the tragedy really happened, he would really kill Song Jian. Su Xiangdong was no exception.
