Chapter 207

Girl's Feelings

When the oil tyrant came, the oil thieves were of course instantly recruited.

Then, their method of stealing oil became more scientific. They didn't cut the belts or damage the motors, and they didn't spill the oil all over the Gobi Desert.

However, the mining area police were keeping a close eye on the oil tycoon Su Xiangdong, but they could not find any evidence of him colluding with the criminals.

Of course, Su Xiangdong was busy building the new factory area every day, and there were so many people following him every day. Do you think he really went to steal oil? That is impossible. At most, he could only be a behind-the-scenes manipulator, teaching those oil thieves the advanced oil theft techniques.

The mining area is a place where once autumn arrives, winter will come in the blink of an eye.

In the blink of an eye, it is already 1979.

The clothing factory's clothes were transported by rail, which was not the case. However, the power of the advertisements that Chen Lina placed in newspapers through Guo Bin was slowly spreading, and the new season's spring clothes were sold out before they were even made.

Because women were desperate to get a really cool, slim-waisted dress like the ones women wore in foreign movies, the doors of all the major department stores were almost worn out.

When Hu Su designs clothes, she designs almost all of them based on the styles in movies.

And now there are always several movies released every year, which greatly helps their clothing factory to increase publicity.

The sales volume was much better than expected. Of course, this gave the leaders the confidence to continue investing in the light industry that Chen Lina was in charge of.

It snowed heavily over the weekend. Except for Nie Weimin, all the children were at home. The big kang was about to collapse because of them jumping over it.

Chen Lina roasted half a basket of potatoes in the fire wall and then ate a pot of sauerkraut.

It was difficult to cook because there were too many children. I roasted half a basket of sand potatoes until they were golden brown, and several children were scrambling to eat them.

"Aunt Chen, what did my father say again?" Deng Chun asked when he saw Chen Lina sitting in the living room with a frown on her face.

He is getting along well with Erdan and Sandan now, and calls himself the fourth brother of the satellite.

"It's not your dad, it's your godfather, who's asking you to go back to the mining area. He wants to see you." Chen Lina took the letter and teased the child deliberately.

Deng Chun immediately said, "No, I don't want to see my godfather."

"Your godfather calls you every day, why don't you go to see him?" Chen Lina found it strange. Although Su Xiangdong was the ancestor of oil thieves in private, he seemed humorous and amiable on the surface, and was a nice person.

Deng Chun smiled in a cheeky way, "I get a stomachache when I see my godfather, and when I have a stomachache, Nie Weijiang gets angry because he wants to make medicine for me."

"I'm not angry. Why should I be angry? Besides, I'm happy to make medicine for you." Sandan came over after smelling the aroma of potatoes and stood beside Deng Chun with a smile on his face. "But Deng Chun, aren't you curious about what those herbs are?"

Earthworm and chicken shit soup is an excellent cure for stomach problems. Deng Chun’s stubborn stomach problems are almost cured.

But Deng Chun didn’t know that even though it tasted bad, he drank it happily every time because it was treating his stomach problems.

"I only know that Nie Weijiang is the best to me in my family." If Deng Chun tries to be sweet-talking, even Sandan is no match for him.

Sandan was so hungry that he could not wait any longer, so he opened the oven wall and dug out two large golden potatoes without caring about the heat. He bit the skin gently with his teeth and bit them open. White smoke came out from inside and he blew away the smoke while eating.

These children are now in the stage of growing bones, and their growth is so rapid that it is visible to the naked eye.

"Your dad asked how you were doing. He heard that you were very well behaved in the mining area, so he wanted you to go home. Do you want to go back?" Chen Lina handed the letter to Deng Chun and let him read it himself.

Deng Chun gritted his teeth, read the letter, and said, "My father still hasn't said sorry to me."

In fact, after returning from Hami, Chen Lina wrote a letter to Deng Dongya. Of course, the letter was written in a more tactful way. She asked him whether he had asked his wife Xiaoji whether his watch worth 500 yuan was found. Deng Chun cared about this very much.

But Deng Dongya did not mention the watch in his letter. He only said that he could come back if he wanted, but he could not steal it, run away from home, or cry in front of his mother's tombstone, because if he did so, his stepmother Xiaoji would feel ashamed.

Obviously, what they cared about all the time was their own face, and they did not really regard the misunderstanding of their child stealing as an important matter.

Deng Chun was determined, "Auntie Chen, I don't want to go home."

Children all yearn for a home, but compared to the home where several brothers lay on the same kang and fought and made noises whenever they wanted all day long, Deng Chun no longer wanted to go back to that home in Shanghai.

In view of his own bad character, Deng Chun raised one hand and said, "I swear to listen to you. If I don't, I will be struck by lightning."

"What's the big deal? If you really attract thunder and it strikes you, it will strike me too. Go and eat your potatoes. I will write to your father and reject his request."

Deng Chun stuck out his tongue, turned around and ran, "Nie Weijiang, pillow battle, hurry up and sign up."

It was getting dark when the laborer came in, covered in snow. As soon as he entered the room, he kissed his sister who was singing by the fire and feeding the little rabbit. Then he kissed his wife. When he heard the phone ringing, he turned around and went into the study.

After a while, he called Chen Lina, "Ms. Chen, come in quickly."

"What's wrong that makes you so happy?" Chen Lina said.

The engineer turned on the tape recorder and the radio receiver. He suddenly pressed the button and heard a voice clearly coming out: "Then let's do it tonight. My hands are really itchy and I want to go out and relax."

"Su Xiangdong? He is finally going to steal oil again? But how did you hear his voice?" Chen Lina asked.

The worker said, "There is a bug in his room, a Soviet-style one that doesn't require batteries and has a very long standby time. It's been almost half a year, and I thought he had found it long ago, but I didn't expect it to still work now."

"That time, when we went to get Deng Chun's clothes, you packed it for him?" Chen Lina remembered that when Su Xiangdong came back for the first time, he invited the couple to dinner, and she and Nie Gong had been to Su Xiangdong's room.

Nie Gong said that he was going to get Deng Chun's clothes, but it turned out that he was going to install a bug.

All I can say is that Nie Bozhao deserves the title of the number one gangster in the mining area.

"By the way, haven't you always wanted to be a vehicle performance evaluator in a car factory? The car factory just called and said you've agreed." Nie Gong was explaining the call that had just come in.

"Can Su Xiangdong wait until I get to the car factory? Aren't you going to catch him?"

Nie Gong smiled and shook his head, took out the gun from the drawer, disassembled it habitually, and then filled a box of bullets and prepared to go out. "By the way, that Su Xiangnan, remember, you have to talk to her later. There is no backdoor, and don't use some local leaders to pressure us. My laboratory only recruits qualified talents. Moreover, I strongly suspect that she is a business spy. I don't want to talk to her, you talk to her."

"Where did Su Xiangnan come from?" Chen Lina was confused and puzzled.

Nie Gong said, "When I was having dinner with Su Xiangdong, he mentioned her. It's been five or six months. First, Su Xiangdong recommended her to me. Then some leaders in the mining area called me. Later, someone from Beijing even called my laboratory and said that she was a computer genius and asked me to recruit her into the laboratory. It was funny. As soon as I saw her thesis, I knew it was written by her father."

Well, Chen Lina remembered that when she had dinner with Su Xiangdong last October, Su Xiangdong did recommend a little girl to Ye Gong, saying that she was a computer genius, which was rare in the country.

Seeing the worker was about to leave, Chen Lina quickly packed a bag of baked potatoes for him and said, "Give them to the boys at the police station. These oil thieves are just like weather forecasters. They have to steal oil when it's windy and snowy and people can't go out."

"Because at times like this, the police are too cold to go out." The worker said, wrapped a big scarf around his neck, and went out.

Well, he has been wearing this tweed coat for almost ten years, and it still looks the same when he wears it now.

With the scarf wrapped around his neck, his tall and handsome figure still looked the same as in his previous life, which made Miss Chen's heart leap with joy at the sight of him.

She had heard that a female student had come to the laboratory, so she followed the worker out and asked, "When did the female student come? Why did you tell me only today?"

"Just today, she said she was determined. She would not leave unless I recruited her. She would stand outside the laboratory until she died and frozen into an ice sculpture." Nie Gong was the brain of the science students. When the educated youth went to the countryside, he could not understand that kind of enthusiasm and called them brain-sick.

In his opinion, an unqualified female student who forced herself to work in his laboratory and was willing to freeze herself in a snowstorm was also mentally ill.

"Now there is no more going to the countryside to work. My laboratory needs capable children, not those who are full of admiration. She thinks she is too enthusiastic, so let her freeze it. Maybe freezing her mind will clear her mind," said Nie Gong.

His car was being refilled with repellent next to the office building, and he had to go there to pick it up.

Passing by the laboratory, he stopped outside the iron gate, pointed to Chen Lina from a distance and said, "Look, isn't that girl still standing there?"

Sure enough, it was a pretty girl with a small face and a few freckles. Chen Lina recognized the clothes she was wearing at a glance. It was the latest cashmere jacket they launched in October this year.

This coat was made by Chen Lina with great care. The cashmere fabric was made according to the quality of her favorite Chanel, but it was cut to suit the body shape of oriental women. The coat is ankle-length and comes in only one color: brown.

The production cost of this coat was nearly 200 yuan, and now the monthly salary of a senior cadre is no more than 200 yuan. Therefore, she only produced 200 pieces of this coat and sent them all to Shanghai.

The little girl could afford a cashmere coat that retailed for four to five hundred yuan, so her family must be very well-off. She stood in the snow with a thick, bright red scarf wrapped around her, her little face raised stubbornly.

As the worker got in the car and was about to leave, he told Chen Lina, "Persuade that girl to go back to Shanghai."

Originally his hands were on the steering wheel, Nie Gong suddenly clasped his hands together and bowed to Chen Lina. "Yes, I know my appearance is a little weird, and a little unpopular with girls, but it really hinders my scientific research. So, beautiful and charming Miss Chen, please help me persuade her to leave. You can be a little fierce in front of boys. She is a little girl, just like our satellite. I don't want to be fierce to her."

Because he also has a lovely and beautiful daughter, and he knows that his daughter will grow up one day.

I hope that if Nie Weixing loses her mind one day, the whole world will be kind to her.

"Hurry up and remember to be careful. Don't try to be a hero in protecting the people. Catching oil thieves is the job of the police, okay?" Chen Lina gave a few instructions and went home.

The little girl from Shanghai was almost drowned by the snow, but Chen Lina felt that there was no need for her to rush over to persuade her.

After all, young people are passionate and impulsive. It is just as Nie Gong said, if she doesn't freeze herself and clear her mind, she probably won't listen to any good advice.

Erdan, Sandan and Deng Chun had already dug out all the potatoes from the fire wall and finished building it.

"Mom, I'm still hungry, what should I do?" Erdan asked Chen Lina while rubbing his stomach.

"How would I know what to do, Nie Weiguo? You could exercise less, for example, learn from your elder brother and study quietly. If you don't exercise, you will consume less energy, and of course you won't feel hungry. Look at your elder brother, doesn't he always eat very little?"

Although she said this, Chen Lina still started preparing dinner.

The children love meat, and two days ago, Chen Lili gave her a castrated ram that she raised at home.

The castrated sheep, also known as the eunuch sheep, is quite pitiful because people do not have much demand for rams.

Therefore, a large number of rams will be castrated when they are released from the pens. The sheep that grow up in this way are not fatter than ewes, but the meat is particularly tender because they can run and have good athletic performance.

This kind of lamb is suitable for stewing in a large pot, and it is cooked as soon as it comes into contact with fire. It is perfect to eat it with your hands.

While chatting with Erdan, Chen Lina chopped half a castrated ram into pieces and stewed them in a large iron pot on the wood stove. She then found time to stir-fry two vegetarian dishes on the beehive coal stove. On that cold and snowy night, a meal was ready.

She asked Erdan to call Su Xiangnan and ask her to come home for dinner.

As for herself, she picked up her work clothes, cosmetic bag, and hair curlers, and hurried out to Sister Wang's house next door.

Erdan ran around but didn't call the girl over.

When he came back, Chen Lina was not at home, so he asked Sandan to go and call her.

Sandan ran around for a while but failed to call Su Xiangnan back. Finally, Deng Chun volunteered, saying that he had seen Su Xiangnan before and knew her. He took his sister with him, and the two of them ran in the wind and snow and finally called Su Xiangnan back.

Several kids were sitting around a table in the living room. Erdan was serving pork with hands, and Sandan was arranging seasonings and mashed garlic.

When he saw a woman coming in, he stopped at the door and said, "Hello, Auntie."

Su Xiangwan was only 21 years old. When she saw Erdan's thick eyebrows, big eyes and square face, she looked at least 17 or 18 years old. She immediately got angry and said, "Little comrade, you should call me sister, right? Excuse me, is your mother not home?"

Deng Chun also looked around. "Yeah, Nie Weiguo, where is Auntie Chen? Wasn't she here just now? Where did she go now?"

Erdan also looked confused. It seemed that his mother, who had been cooking dinner by the stove, had not been seen for half a day. Where had she gone?

Still, Sandan said politely, "Auntie, please sit down and eat first. My mom should be out and will be back soon."

Su Xiangnan even didn't let Sandan go. "I'm only 21 years old, please call me sister."

Deng Chun is very sweet. "Sister Su, you put on makeup today, and it's duck egg powder. You look so beautiful. It's okay for you to call me sister."

When Su Xiangnan came today, it hadn't snowed yet. He walked around the family area and met several women, all of whom were dark and thin.

Moreover, the complexion of people in the mining area is generally dark.

Although she had seen Chen Lina in Deng Dongya's class photo, Chen Lina had just given birth to her younger sister at that time.

Moreover, she didn't put on any makeup, and she was standing at the back, so she didn't stand out in the photo, and she looked like a very gentle woman.

So Su Xiangnan thought that since Chen Lina lived in a mining area, even if she was a little more fashionable than other women in the mining area, she would definitely not be that pretty.

As for her, a girl from Shanghai, she was wearing the most fashionable cashmere and the most colorful scarf. Of course, she put on makeup but looked like she was not wearing any makeup.

She got to know Nian Gong through a televised talk show for advanced workers across the country that aired on New Year's Day last year.

Nie Gong didn't have a TV at home, so he didn't know what he looked like on TV. It was just that the TV station came to interview him, and he recorded a clip in front of the camera in the laboratory.

However, his deep and sharp eyes, his angular face carved by the frontier wind, and the wrinkles between his brows all seemed to hide stories.

Unlike other scholars, he was not nervous in front of the camera, spoke stiffly, and his body movements were uncoordinated. He smiled throughout the whole process. When introducing his laboratory, he patted his large computer and said, "To be honest, it's hard to deal with family members, but this is harder to deal with than family members."

Suddenly, Su Xiangnan, who was watching TV, laughed.

So, after much effort, Su Xiangnan came.

She is passionate and confident, and she is willing to contribute all her youth and girlish feelings to this base and to the oil industry.

Of course, seeing the simple courtyard where Nie Bozhao lived, she couldn't help but feel pity and admiration in her heart. Ah, it was hard to imagine that this was the home of a national advanced worker.

At this moment, a woman came in from outside. She was wearing a cashmere coat similar to hers, but the color was more textured. She was also wearing a dark green scarf.

The moment she walked in, a name popped up in Su Xiangnan's mind: Brigitte Lin?

But at the same time, she felt that it was not Brigitte Lin, because the facial features of this woman were much softer than those of Brigitte Lin. Moreover, although her skin was not particularly fair, it was healthy and shiny. She must have applied duck egg powder, which was very close to her face and gave her face a very textured white.

The woman was wearing a pair of pure white lambskin gloves. She pulled her fingers one by one as she entered the room. "Xiao Su, Lao Nie said you were coming to eat today. Why haven't you come in to eat yet?"

I also have a watch on my hand, which is the most popular Phoenix mechanical watch in Shanghai this year.

Such a beautiful and impeccably fashionable woman, Su Xiangnan suddenly had thousands of questions in his mind, who is she?
