Chapter 208
Chase and intercept
"My mother looks so beautiful today, Ms. Chen Lina, can I call you sister?" When Sandan saw that his mother was suddenly dressed so beautifully, he couldn't stop smiling.
My sister also said, "Mom, you look so beautiful today. I love you the most."
Deng Chun was confused. "Nie Weijiang, Auntie Xiao Chen was just cooking in the kitchen. Where did she dress up? Who permed her hair? How did she suddenly become so beautiful?"
Chen Lina, who was wearing an apron just now and didn't dress up deliberately, took no more than half an hour to get her hair done. Her hair was freshly curled, and the powder on her face was probably freshly applied. The color of her lipstick was so bright.
Even this coat, she had to go through a lot of customs and have Edward buy it for her from the United States.
In short, Miss Chen seemed to come in casually, but in fact, she ran next door and asked Chen Tiantian to do her skin care, face patting, makeup, and hair perm at a lightning speed, which had already sounded the battle horn.
She is a woman who will conquer others with her charming charisma even at the age of fifty. She refuses to admit old age or defeat.
Of course, the effect is amazing.
Su Xiangnan opened his mouth wide. "So, you are Chen Lina?"
"I am the wife of a laborer. Why, have you heard of me?"
Deng Dongya always said that Chen Lina was the most beautiful girl in their 76th Party School class. At that time, Deng Dongya's wife, Ji Chaoqun, joked with Deng Dongya, saying, "There is a woman among a group of grown men. Even if she looks like Dong Shi, you still think she looks like Diao Chan. There is no other reason, it's just because things are rare and valuable."
Su Xiangnan and Su Xiangdong are cousins, and have a particularly good relationship with Ji Chaoqun.
She also thought that the woman in the photo was at best pretty, not very beautiful. Deng Dongya was still stubborn and kept saying that she was really beautiful, especially on the night of graduation, she was as beautiful as a goddess.
It's just that the photo makes her look ugly, blame the photographer.
Ji Chaoqun didn't understand, "Can she be prettier than your ex-wife?"
Deng Dongya’s ex-wife was a famous actress in Shanghai. She was really beautiful, but unfortunately she died young.
Deng Dongya, a man with a dull sense of smell and intuition, did not realize that his wife was already furious, and just said, "Chen Lina's main thing is her appearance. She looks very Western."
In Ji Chaoqun's heart, Deng Dongya died from that moment on.
"Come in and sit down. Would you like to eat meat with your hands?" Chen Lina let the little girl into the house and let her sit with the children, then took off her coat.
Her figure was impeccable. Su Xiangnan was one of the most beautiful and fashionable people in Shanghai. Yet, he was beaten to the point of being embarrassed by a woman in the mining area.
In fact, in her dark heart, she did think that no one except the best woman could be worthy of a man like Nie Bozhao, and she was the best.
But at this moment, she suddenly became depressed.
Nie Bozhao didn't even look at her in the laboratory building, and she wondered why. It turned out that he had such a beautiful wife.
Su Xiangnan didn't like mutton, but because Deng Chun ate it so deliciously, he asked curiously, "Deng Chun, is it delicious?"
"Of course it's delicious, you should have one too." Deng Chun said, grabbing a large piece of meat, sprinkling it with pepper and salt, and handing it to Su Xianglai, "Grab it and eat it, it's very delicious."
"I remember that you didn't dislike eating, but you just liked snacks?"
"Don't mention Sister Su. I feel like vomiting when I think of biscuits now." Deng Chun whispered, "You are not sent by my mother to take me back home, right? I tell you, I don't want to go back."
"Your mother really misses you, and your sister misses you too. Go back. You didn't even go home for the New Year?" Su Xiangnan said.
Deng Chun's eyes turned red, but he didn't say anything. Sandan asked, "If you ask him to go back, will his sister still bite him?"
Su Xiangnan found it ridiculous. "Deng Xi is just a little girl who bit her brother for fun. Deng Chun is too petty to tell others about this."
"For children, many things that others think are trivial are big things to them," Sandant said firmly.
Deng Chun also said, "I will not go back until I am admitted to Petroleum Middle School. If you want to go back to Shanghai, tell my dad, huh."
"It is said that Xiao Su is studying computer science. What exactly is he studying?" Chen Lina also came to the table and grabbed a piece of meat to eat. The castrated mutton was very tender and the bones fell off after it was cooked, but it was not greasy.
Su Xiangnan didn't dare to eat such a big piece of meat at first. After taking a bite, he found that it was so delicious that he wanted to swallow his tongue. After finishing one piece, his hand involuntarily reached into the bowl and grabbed another piece.
"I learned how to operate the DJ system, which is considered the most advanced operating system in the world," said Su Xiangnan.
Sandan became interested when he heard this. "Do you know the DOS system that is being developed? It is said that the operating instructions are many times simpler than those of DJS. The instructions are all in English. As long as you input them, the computer will operate the program according to the instructions. My godfather just invested in the stock of such a company."
Su Xiangnan certainly knew DOS, but she thought that Nie Weijiang was only a child of eleven or twelve years old. Yet, such a child actually understood the most cutting-edge technology in the world.
Su Xiangnan was hit so hard by the child that he couldn't speak.
Chen Lina explained, "He has a godfather who lives in the United States. He has been inviting us to go abroad to have a look, but it is difficult to get a passport to go abroad now, and workers are not allowed to go abroad, so we have never been. He asked his godfather to invest in a company. It is said that no one is optimistic about it, but I think that company should be able to make money."
By the time Chen Lina found out, Nie Weijiang had already asked Edward to invest in the largest computer company in the future.
Moreover, Edward also said that if they really make money, at least half of it will belong to Xiao Wei-chan.
Now, this egg is worth more than one hundred thousand dollars, it is worth one million dollars.
After Su Xiangnan finished eating the meat, he looked at Deng Chun carefully and found that he and Nie Weijiang were facing each other. Then he ran to the desk next to him and did his homework.
"This child is very difficult to manage." Su Xiangnan's words were exactly the same as what Ji Huaishan said.
As soon as Chen Lina saw Deng Chun's little ears, she knew he was listening on purpose, so she also deliberately said, "It's not difficult to manage him. Anyway, he has to fight for food, do homework, and go to school. I haven't managed him much. It all depends on self-discipline."
"One day, I want Chai Tianming and Deng Dongya to call me dad." Deng Chun rubbed his hands and started writing again.
Well, no matter what the goal is, as long as you have a goal, you have a direction to work towards.
Chen Lina said, "That's right. He has always believed that you can't get into Petroleum Middle School. You can do it and show him."
Su Xiangnan became more and more confused. The more she looked at Chen Lina, the more she felt that this woman was not only beautiful, but also had a very good temperament, that kind of calmness that came from the years.
She thought that after dinner, she would be chased away. In the end, Chen Lina said, "If you don't mind, you can sleep on my kang for one night. How about that?"
It was too late and there was heavy snow outside, so Su Xiangnan stayed there without any hesitation.
"Auntie Xiao Chen, can you help me write my composition? I must get a perfect score of 100 this time, but my composition is not good, and I can only get 20 points every time." Deng Chun was playing tricks in the living room, jumping around with his homework book. "Just help me organize my thoughts and give me a general idea. I can write it myself."
"Deng Chun, give me the eggplant in your hand. From now on, you are not allowed to eat. I will eat all the rice. Okay?"
"No." Eggplants in March and April are only available on farms. Not only are they expensive, but they are also hard to get. They are juicy, sweet and especially delicious. Whoever can grab one gets it. Deng Chun won't give it to anyone.
"You don't even give me your eggplants to eat, so how can I help you with your homework? Besides, I can't help you with your homework at home, can I help you with your exam essays?
Oh, are you thinking that I will write an essay, you will memorize it, and then take the exam? Have you ever thought that Nie Weijiang is not good at liberal arts, and you two are competing together. If you get admitted to Oilfield Middle School because of the essay I wrote for you, and he fails to get in because of a one-point difference, isn’t it unfair for him?"
"So you only think about your son. You are so petty." Deng Chun said.
Chen Lina said, "I am not petty. I am talking to you about fairness. You want to get high scores, and I want to get high scores too. Working hard is right, but cheating is wrong.
Because if you go up, someone will inevitably be pushed down. Isn't it unfair for the person who is pushed down? Your father is a top student at Fudan University, and I got full marks in all subjects when I graduated from the Party School. We didn't get in by cheating."
Half of Su Xiangnan's graduation thesis was written by her father.
Of course, since her father encouraged this behavior, she wouldn't think it was a big deal.
She was able to obtain a graduate degree because she took advantage of the favorable conditions. It was a historical exception that in 1979, she could take the postgraduate entrance examination directly from her freshman or sophomore year, and as long as she passed the thesis, she could get a graduate degree in 1979. This is unprecedented in history.
And what she relied on happened to be her father's connections.
If Chen Lina were an ignorant housewife, she might have tried to show off her superiority.
But he was a graduate of the Party School and the secretary of the Umayi branch of the Shanghai Garment Factory. He spoke with such confidence that Su Xiangnan suddenly felt uneasy.
That kind of emptiness really is like sitting on pins and needles, feeling very restless.
At this moment, she suddenly saw a copy of "Start" magazine on the table, and it was open to the thesis that her father had written for her. In it, many words and phrases were circled, and there were even some places where there were English corrections and revisions, indicating the places where they were quoted.
In an instant, Su Xiangnan's face felt burning.
This was simply a loud slap in the face. It turned out that Nie Gong had already discovered that her thesis was written by her father, but he probably didn't point it out to her in person because he was afraid that she would embarrass herself in front of his students.
Then what Chen Lina said just now is very meaningful.
While she was thinking about some sinister and dark things in her heart, the laborer couple had already seen clearly how she got her graduate degree, her thesis, and all the operations that she and her father thought were smart.
After all, people in this era value face and reputation. If Su Xiangnan and her father's actions were to be made public, they would be despised and condemned by the entire mainstream scientific research community.
Lying on the kang in Chen Lina's house, Su Xiangnan was so ashamed that he couldn't close his eyes all night.
On the Gobi Beach.
Nie Gong, Leng Qi and others were lying in the snow. Leng Qi was still cursing, "These oil thieves always come out on snowy days. I really want to shoot them all. Nie Bozhao, I might shoot you in a while, so you better close your eyes."
"Minister Leng, this is not wartime. Those people are gas thieves, not Japs. You can only intimidate them, but not shoot. Otherwise, I will sue you," said Yu Donghai.
The oilfield police, armed forces, and militia, this is a joint law enforcement, but Yu Donghai never expected that before catching the oil thief, he had to appease the irritable Minister Leng first.
"No, Yu Donghai, you can ask the public security to close their eyes, right? Besides, if the other side has firepower, we can open fire in self-defense."
"My personality does not allow me to do such a thing. They are just oil thieves. You cannot sentence them to death privately," said Yu Donghai.
Leng Qi was furious. “So you police officers can only watch the gas thieves running around the streets. I hope the gas thieves will come out more often in weather like this, so that I can torture you to death.”
"Leng Qi." Nie Gong said suddenly.
"Ah, relative, what's the matter?" Leng Qi's nose was red from the cold.
Nie Gong said, "We are good relatives only if we enforce the law in a civilized manner. Hold your gun high in the air and don't turn on the insurance for the time being, okay?" Seeing several cars approaching on the snowy field, he patted Leng Qi and said, "Call your people, and go greet our old friend together."
…
Well, all the oil thieves who came to steal oil were caught in one fell swoop. However, when they counted the heads, Su Xiangdong was not found among them.
In total, they caught more than twenty oil thieves, which was considered a relatively successful operation. But if they hadn't caught Su Xiangdong, all the efforts of Nie Gong and his men would have been in vain.
"Let's go to the hotel and find a reason to drag that Su guy out and beat him up, how about that?" Leng Qi said, "I have many ways to do it. I can accuse him of soliciting prostitution, or I can accuse him of gambling, just stuffing a deck of poker cards into his pocket. You don't understand, this kind of thing is too easy to manipulate. We can beat him half to death and then make him confess."
Nie Gong looked at the gas thieves being taken into the car, thought for a long time, and said, "No, Su Xiangdong said in person that he would come out tonight, but he didn't come out. There is only one possibility, that is, there is a traitor in our base."
As he spoke, he kicked a stone from the roadside and slammed it hard onto the Gobi Beach.
Go back to the base and find the mole.
Su Xiangdong also had a hard time because he was actually there.
Bad guys always have itchy hands. Today was the first time he had come out in half a year. If Fu Yongdong hadn't taken the lead and knocked him over with a big kick, kicking him into a big snow pit, and then stayed there and told everyone that there was no one there, he would have been arrested.
Not until everyone had dispersed and all the oil thieves had been caught did Su Xiangdong climb out of the snow pit, trembling, and walked four or five miles with his hands in his sleeves. He almost froze to death on the road, but Fu Yongdong quietly slipped back and took him back to the hotel.
A bug was found in the hotel room and Su Xiangdong crushed it with one foot.
"Chen Lina will be the test driver tomorrow. What does a woman know about cars? Nie Bozhao almost killed me, so I have to teach Nie Bozhao a lesson. I just came back from the oil well crying, and tomorrow I will make Chen Lina cry and ask for help on the Gobi Beach." Su Xiangdong was frostbitten and angry, his hands were bruised, and he even started to be petty and take revenge.
Fu Yongdong was quite dissatisfied. "Leader, many of the things we do are very private. If you invite Chen Lina, she will definitely find out everything about us. Moreover, she is a woman. Why would you ask her to be a car test driver?"
Su Xiangdong said, "She sent her resume to our headquarters, boasting about her driving skills and experience to the extreme. The headquarters called her personally.
I must have her, but she's a woman, what does she know about cars? Throw her a car, drive it around the Gobi Desert, and have our test drivers chase her. I want to trap her on a single-plank bridge and watch her cry as she crawls out of the car."
When the worker returned home, he saw two coats hanging in the living room and guessed that Chen Lina had left Su Xiangnan behind.
His wife is sensible and generous. She doesn't have a bad temper and she won't get jealous just because a female student comes to him for love. Nie Gong is as happy as if he is floating in the clouds.
However, when the worker turned on the desk light, he was shocked.
On the table was a stack of color photos of Miss Chen herself, probably taken by her for fun.
There was a line of words written under the photo: "You've seen too many pretty girls today. Are you feeling agitated? Come on, take a look at your lover's photo to refresh your eyes."
The worker picked up the photos one by one and couldn't help shaking his head and smiling.
He didn't understand why women had to change their clothes every year, but he had to admit that Miss Chen's clothes were indeed beautiful, especially when she wore them.
I flipped through the photos of my wife carefully, and the more I looked, the more interesting they became. It seems that when people like someone, they can look at her photos for a long time. The photos are frozen, but what emerges in their mind are frames of memories.
Counting on my fingers, she is almost 30 years old.
As for Nie Gong himself, he is almost forty years old, but the yard is still the same yard. The children have grown up, he has wrinkles and white hair. It is really true that the wind, frost, snow and time make people grow old.
He took out the radio receiver and searched again. The signal source had been destroyed. It seemed that there was a traitor in the base. He would have to slowly look for him.
Sometimes Nie Gong really wanted to turn into the apricot tree fork in his previous life and just stab Su Xiangdong. It would be such a simple thing. But the law requires evidence when sentencing someone, and Su Xiangdong just had insufficient evidence.
Going to a car factory to try out new cars and be a test driver or evaluator is the job that Chen Lina has always dreamed of.
In order to test drive, she specially put on flat boots that covered her trouser legs and changed into a tight leather jacket. Leather jackets have gradually become popular from Shanghai to small places in the past two years, and many people like to wear them.
In a nutshell, it is like lazy clothes. You don’t need to wash them when they are dirty. You can just wipe them and they will be shiny again.
However, Chen Lina's leather jacket is not of low-quality quality, but real leather.
"Sister Chen, can you really drive a car, and a racing car?" Su Xiangnan found it unbelievable and asked.
Chen Lina threw the children to the edge of the school and asked Su Xiangnan to hold Nie Weixing for her.
“I can drive a little, but not exceptionally well. However, every car model from every car manufacturer goes through a 100,000-kilometer performance test before it goes into production. I’m not a real racing driver.
But I just want to experience the new models of the car manufacturer. According to regulations, they need to recruit people who know cars to experience them, so I am an experience user." Chen Lina explained.
Su Xiangnan found Chen Lina more and more interesting. "Sister, what you said is new to me, but I am from Shanghai, and you live in such a secluded place."
"Are we closed here?" Chen Lina was surprised.
Su Xiangnan thought for a moment and said, "Not really, I just think you live a very happy life."
"You can, too. After you try out the car this afternoon, come to our clothing factory. As a woman who loves fashion and beauty, aren't you curious about how this woolen coat of yours was made?"
Su Xiangnan was stunned. "Is this coat produced by you?"
Chen Lina smiled but said nothing. Su Xiangdong and Su Xiangnan are cousins. I don't know if there are Su Xiangbei and Su Xiangxi in their family.
In short, at this moment, she had to show the arrogant Su Xiangdong what godly driving skills were.
