Chapter 201
Birds of a feather flock together
The words "revert to old habits" are the most appropriate to describe Deng Chun.
Hami is a tourist city with abundant tropical fruits, so Chen Lina bought a lot of bananas.
Mangoes, as well as various kinds of cantaloupe, which are the most common in Hami, and bubble gum biscuits and other things to satisfy the children's cravings.
Erdan didn't know how to eat bubble gum, so he ate one and swallowed it. He then gave one to his sister, who chewed it and wanted to swallow it. Deng Chun stopped him and pushed it out of her mouth. He said, "Nie Weiguo, you are in trouble. This candy can only be chewed and not swallowed. Look at me. I will blow a big bubble for you."
As he spoke, he blew out a big bubble.
"It's over. If you swallow it, your intestines will get stuck. You will probably die tomorrow from the stuck intestines." Deng Chun said again.
Erdan was terrified. “Edan, am I really going to die?”
The younger sister slapped Deng Chun on the forehead with a handful of bubble gum. "Why didn't you tell me earlier? You're so mean!"
Sandan took a piece of bubble gum and studied it for a long time, then said, "This is gelatin. It's definitely not good to swallow it, but the inside of your stomach is slippery and gelatin can't stick to it. If you don't eat too much, there's no problem. How can it stick to your intestines?"
Erdan suddenly realized what was going on. His sister was still angry. The two of them looked at Deng Chun with a smug look on their faces, as if they were saying, "With Nie Weijiang around, you can't fool us."
"I worship you as my elder brother, and I will be your military advisor. Nie Weiguo, let's go and conquer the world." Deng Chun then persuaded Erdan, "You can be a elder brother, but you are not smart enough. I can be your military advisor."
Erdan just ignored what he said, but his sister was very angry. She shook Sandan's arm and said, "Brother Dandan, let's bury Deng Chun. He's so annoying."
While everyone was not paying attention and chatting and playing, Erdan pointed to the toilet, put a pocket of banana mango bubble gum in his pocket, and slipped away.
A banana fell on the road!
The next day we agreed to climb Mount Tianshan, which was also the thing that Erdan and Sandan wanted to do the most.
However, the car was driven away by Leng Qi, so they could only take the bus.
When Deng Chun heard that he had to take the bus, he immediately became depressed. "I don't want to eat anymore. You guys eat first."
Sandan then said, "If you don't want to eat, just stay in the hotel. We don't want people who don't have the energy to climb the mountain."
"He's not without strength, he's just afraid of vomiting in the car. Dandan, you and Erdan go downstairs and go to the hospital across the street to get two motion sickness pills for Deng Chun to take."
Although Deng Chun didn't say anything, he was very naughty and stuck out his tongue at Chen Lina. Okay, the child started eating.
As for Erdan, he put several eggs and fried cakes into his pocket. In short, his pocket was full. He raised his hand and said, "Mom, I can go by myself. Leave Dandan here." Then he ran away in a flash.
Chen Lina opened the window and looked carefully, and found that when Nie Weiguo came out of the hospital opposite, he was followed by five thugs. Some of them were standing at the door of the hospital and talking to Erdan.
In short, Erdan acted like a big brother and distributed food to them, but the five guys all lowered their heads and hummed and laughed.
Kids like Erdan have a gangster-like aura, like a magnet that attracts bad guys.
Here, Chen Lina is asking the waiter at the front desk where the long-distance bus station is and when the shuttle bus leaves.
Yesterday, the young PLA soldier came over, saluted, and said, "Comrade, our leader said that if you want to go out, you can use his car, but you have to refuel yourself."
"Where's Ji Huaian?"
"Our leader has a meeting today, so we don't need a car." The young PLA soldier handed Chen Lina a key, saluted, turned around, and ran away in small steps.
Chen Lina held the key and hesitated.
Poor little Deng Chun, he gets dizzy even with small cars, let alone a large bus that is packed like a can of fish.
However, I heard from Nie Gong that Ji just stayed alone with him last night, cried for a while and then passed away.
She hates people with the last name Ji, what should she do?
The worker was like a filial son. He called the older ones, pulled the younger ones, carried the luggage, lifted the boxes, and escorted them out of the room one by one, and he had to hold his sister in his arms.
Seeing a military vehicle with a Hohhot license plate, Nie Gong hesitated and said, "This must be a vehicle of the Hohhot military. I'm afraid it would be bad if we use it."
"But Deng Chun is carsick. If he gets on a crowded bus, I'm afraid he'll vomit all over the bus."
Once, Chen Lina was on a plane and met a child who had just finished his parents' meals and had to go to the bathroom to vomit. He passed by Chen Lina and sprayed her all over. She had to wait for a nurse to wipe it off. That was a lifetime ago. But because of this, she still has a shadow over children's motion sickness.
"Xiao Deng, I will be responsible for returning the keys to the bus. He is using the bus for personal purposes, and it has a military license plate. If anything goes wrong, it will bring discredit to the military," said Nie Gong.
Well, with bags big and small, some on their backs and some in their hands, the laborer took the lead, holding his sister and leading a few carrots and set off.
Ji Huaishan and the others had not started the meeting yet, so they were watching from the second floor. When he saw the orderly come in to return the key, he put it away.
To be honest, when Ji Huaishan first met Chen Lina, he really felt like acting like a hooligan.
Keep warm and think about sex! Desire, family and duty, honest, never! In words, the letter restrained Ji Huaishan, and Ji, recently the border is going to open trade, as the main person in charge, someone gave some gifts, a few words of praise, and he was swollen.
But Nie Gong is like a piece of steel pipe, unyielding, easy-going and calm, with the demeanor of a general. It is no wonder that he is a legend or that he is an advanced worker every year. It is really difficult for people to maintain self-discipline and rigor like him in all kinds of circumstances.
He was really ashamed and of course convinced, so he recommended the products of the Wushi Garment Factory and the Woolen Textile Factory to the Mongolian representatives as particularly important products.
The bus was really crowded. The aisle was full of people, but the conductor was still pushing more people in. "It's so crowded, please make way. There's still room at the back. Move back, move back."
At this time, only Erdan could eat. There was an old Uyghur grandmother who saw that the younger sister was cute, so she took her over and hugged her. She thought she could hug another one, so she put Sandan on her lap. An old man sat next to them, and Erdan stood next to them.
All you have to do is offer your little cheeks to get a seat. My sister and Sandan were very happy, but they had to wipe their saliva from time to time.
If Chen Lina was squeezed any further, she would have reached the ceiling. The worker was holding her tightly, and Deng Chun was crying in her arms, but she didn't dare to speak loudly, only saying "Mom, it stinks, it stinks."
"If you call me mom again, I will go back to the hotel and leave you alone," said Chen Lina.
The boastful little Deng just sighed and dared not say anything else.
Chen Lina hugged him and took pictures non-stop.
In such a crowded car, it is painful to move, but people are still quarreling.
"You lazy guy, you get up only when the sun is shining on your butt. It's almost dark when you get to the grassland now. How do you sell grapes? I ask you, how do you sell grapes?" An old man pointed and poked.
A young man, not too old, probably around twelve or thirteen, squeezed next to the old man, not saying a word.
The old man then started to scold again, "Your mother just left you and left. Do you think you have free meals to eat in my house? Ah, there are schools for you to go to? Ah, you still sleep in every day. I let you sleep, I let you sleep."
"I hung grapes until two o'clock last night." The young man protested, and the old man slapped him on the head. "I also hung them until two o'clock, but I got up in the morning too."
"Because you are old, greedy, afraid of death and sleepless." said the young man.
The old man slapped them both hard and said, "Your mother is a bitch, she cheated on you and you are her offspring, lazy and useless."
The young man thought his mother was his weakness, so he got angry and jumped up to hit the old man. "I told you to scold my mother, and I told you to scold my mother again."
A fight broke out on the bus. The bus was already crowded and many people were affected. It was obviously this young man who was in the wrong. The conductor shouted to turn around and said he would send this young man to the police station.
The young man got really excited and swung his fists around, not caring who he was hitting. He yelled and cried, "I only sleep four or five hours a day, am I not tired? I also don't have enough to eat. I did the work for him, so what right did he have to scold my mother?"
It was Erdan again, who grabbed the guy's fist with one hand.
Chen Lina had told Nie Gong yesterday about how Erdan had frightened some hooligans. Now she raised her head and asked, "Your son is meddling in other people's business again. What should we do?"
Because the car smelled so bad, Nie Gong buried his nose in Chen Lina's hair.
"Someone has to stand up for himself. Isn't Erdan being very righteous?"
Moreover, although Erdan was small, he had the temperament of an older brother. He hugged the boy, patted him, stuffed a fried cake into his mouth, and promised the ticket seller that he would be able to comfort him.
Well, a fight just ended like that.
The young man was so moved that he cried into Erdan's arms while eating the cake.
After getting off the bus, you have to take another tricycle to get to the foot of Tianshan Mountain. At this time, the grass is still green, the snow-capped mountains are towering, the sky is vast, and the air is fresh.
Deng Chun was like a wilted little monkey, unable to run, crawl or walk, so he obediently asked the worker to carry him on his back. Erdan and Sandan carried their sister on their backs and ran around everywhere.
The higher we climbed, the colder it got. Fortunately, we brought a lot of clothes with us. Although the children were shivering from the cold, they had a lot of fun when they climbed to the snow.
When I was walking back in the evening, I met the grandfather and grandson again while riding the buggy.
There were still a few bunches of grapes left in their baskets.
These must be a father and son who grow grapes and carry them to the scenic area to sell.
"Hey, where are you from?" the young man asked Erdan.
Erdan started talking to him again, "Hey, Umayee Mining District, are your grapes selling well?"
"I'll give you some, brother. It's not that it's hard to sell. My grandfather beats me and scolds my mother every day. I really don't want to stay here. It's easy to get along over there. If you have any connections and can make some money, I want to go out and make a living."
Erdan looked at Chen Lina behind him and didn't dare to say anything.
He always looks in the mirror and thinks he is quite cute. I don’t know why, but many young guys aged 15 or 16 like to call him “brother” when they see him.
"I'll meet you in Umay tomorrow." The young man patted Erdan on the shoulder and squeezed onto the bus.
After getting off the bus in the evening, I was so tired when I walked back to the hotel.
Miss Chen could no longer walk, so she ordered a large bowl of fried noodles for each of her children on the first floor, and a portion of scrambled eggs. She asked for her portion to be brought upstairs, and then went upstairs to take a shower.
After taking a shower, I was standing by the window to get some fresh air when I saw a bunch of young men around 15 or 16 years old standing outside the guesthouse, at least seven or eight of them.
As soon as you see the temperament of these gangsters, you can tell that they are the kind of people who just want to hang around and do nothing, and they are the ones who steal and don't learn their lessons.
After a while, Erdan sneaked out with a plastic bag behind him, which obviously contained some hand-pulled meat.
The young men rushed up and followed him, hiding somewhere unknown.
"It's over, your son has been kidnapped by gangsters." Chen Lina said.
The worker looked at the group of kids and frowned. "What do you mean by that? It's hard to change a person's nature, even if it's easy to change the country? He just needs to give a little, what does he want to do?"
"You know, the children in the past had somewhere to go if they went to work in the countryside. These years, there are more children and fewer job vacancies. If they can get a job in a factory, they will have a fixed salary and social status. Girls will rush to get married and boys will have a stable life. If they don't have a stable job, for example, if their family is unhappy or their parents are gone, wouldn't they all go out to steal and mess around? And your son is born to attract such children."
Erdan is not only good at fighting, but he also has a big brother-like demeanor. He can coordinate and take care of people.
Nie Gong asked, "Do you want me to bring Erdan back?"
陳麗娜說“別了,他天生就那個性子啊,從小就愛給人送東送西的,看誰可憐都願意幫幫,你去拎他,說不定還着小混混們揍呢。”
After a while, the complaining Deng Chun knocked on the door and said, "Auntie Xiao Chen, Erdan took away all the leftover pork. Moreover, he gave all the meat to those hooligans outside. You will beat him up, right?"
Chen Lina grabbed the Buqiuren hanging on the wall and spanked Deng Chun on the butt a few times. "When you watch a movie, you will be shown two types of people: Wang Erxiao who delivers letters to the Eighth Route Army, and the Imperial Army who leads the Japanese. Which type do you hate the most?"
"Of course it's the Imperial Army. I have a sworn enemy relationship with the Imperial Army. If I have a gun, I will shoot them all to death."
"You are now a member of the Imperial Army. Instead of talking about unity, you are also communicating with each other. But I am not a Japanese devil. I am your parent. What I hate most is that you brothers are not united and communicate with each other."
So it is wrong to file a complaint, and the one who does bad things is right?
Deng Chun pouted and walked away with an unhappy look on his face.
About half an hour later, Erdan came back.
Just as I was about to knock on the door, I saw Chen Lina's head pop out from the hotel door.
"It's only one pound of pork belly, and there are so many children. Is it enough to share?" Chen Lina asked.
Erdan rubbed his nose. He had already been exposed, so there was nothing to hide. "Even if it's just one bite per person, it's a gesture. They are all poor kids who can't afford meat."
"Why do you have to give them food?" Chen Lina wanted to explore the inner thoughts of this generous, righteous, and big brother-like boy.
Erdan tilted his head and said, "Just look at them because they are quite pitiful."
I feel pity for gangsters. If he doesn’t join the gang, who will?
In fact, people like Erdan are real big brothers who will go through thick and thin for their brothers, but he is of no use to his family. If he continues to be like this, whoever marries him will be unlucky!
Because he would move all his possessions and give them all to his brother.
"Mom, I'm sorry, I won't dare to do it again." Erdan said, feeling very guilty.
Chen Lina said, "Go back to your room and sleep. You still have to go see Hu Yanglin tomorrow, so go quickly."
Erdan touched his head and ran back to his room.
The next morning, Chen Lina looked carefully and saw that the group of young men were still outside. As soon as Erdan went out, they would whistle.
The look of them being so like-minded and being so hungry for each other when they couldn't get along was so simple that she wanted to punch each of them.
Early in the morning, Ji Huaishan came again, looking unhappy. "Lina, our export plan includes textiles and clothing. If you have time, come with me to meet the Mongolian representatives today?"
Chen Lina turned around and looked at the worker.
Nie Gong said, "Go ahead. I'll take care of the children. You and your classmates can chat for a while and have lunch together at noon."
As he said this, he opened his commemorative wallet, which symbolized his dignity and which he had bought at the Tianshan Mountain Scenic Area yesterday, and took out two big group-evening gifts for Chen Lina. "It's my treat."
Well, Chen Lina had given up hope, but unexpectedly Ji Huaishan came back again.
After watching the worker leave, she asked, "Where are the chocolates? Did you send them back to your family?"
"no!"
"Then I have no business to discuss with you. Get out of here!"
"Listen to my explanation! The chocolate was given to me by a company. Their product quality is not good. I don't want to be included in the trade products. Of course, I returned the chocolate." Ji Huaishan said, raising his hands to show surrender.
Well, Chen Lina thought, that’s good enough!
"Didn't you drink?"
"I've been drinking tea for two days and I'm still awake." Ji Huaishan said quickly.
Chen Lina then said, "Okay, let's talk."
If there had been a woman who accepted Ji Huaishan's chocolate and hinted that it was delicious, perhaps Ji Huaishan would have fallen into corruption and become uncontrollable.
Chen Lina understood the principle that if the water is too clear, there will be no fish, but after all, she had already seen all that she should have seen and played. Apart from the fact that there are no clouds on Mount Wushan, it doesn't matter what you, Ji Huaishan, do in other places, but in front of her, you have to be a gentleman.
Well, a business deal was secured in this dignified manner.
