Chapter 217

Stay true to your original aspiration

In fact, Nie Gong only knew one song, "In That Faraway Place".

However, he is used to singing the English version. After singing, he will sing the Chinese version again.

In the crowd, he just looked at Miss Chen, played the accordion, and sang with deep affection.

However, this kind of song is probably only suitable for flirting on the bed. It is so weird to sing it in public.

Su Xiangdong had originally created a good atmosphere. When everyone heard the Taiwanese accent, they were very excited about the village romance and how you love me and I love you. But when Nian Gong sang in such a serious and solemn manner, the atmosphere suddenly froze.

As for the children, except for Nie Weijiang who laughed uglier than crying and pulled Deng Chun to applaud vigorously, all the children opened their mouths wide and stared at Nie Gong.

My mouth is watering.

Of course Chen Lina knew that Nie Gong had mustered up a lot of courage to be able to go on stage, but how could this be compared with Su Xiangdong, who had to stand on the stage and liven up the atmosphere for the leaders from time to time?

Yu Lianhai said, "Nian Gong, why don't you come down and I'll sing a song for you called "We Workers Have Power". I'm Lina's family member, so I'll do you a favor. How about that?"

Seeing Su Xiangdong laughing beside him, Nie Gong was so anxious that he was sweating all over. He even asked the children under the stage, "What do you want to hear? I'll sing it for you, okay?"

One child said, "I want to listen to 'Return from Target Practice'."

Another child said, "I want to listen to "By the Butterfly Spring."

Even my sister was dancing in the audience, "Dad, sing me a song called 'I'm a Soldier'. Daddy sings it really well."

Nie Gong couldn't sing a single song and was sweating profusely on the stage.

At this time, He Lanshan also felt that it was boring, so he started to make a fuss, "Nian Gong, if you can't sing, just get off. It's okay. Let's work together. Who is the leader? If it's your turn, just give the position of chief engineer to Lina. She can't do it anyway."

The worker is still struggling, trying to find a song he can sing.

As a result, at this time, only the sound of guitar was heard, and it turned out to be Erdan. As soon as he came on stage, he finally saved Nie Gong. Nie Gong hurriedly said, "Su Gong, this is my son. He will sing the next song for me. Is that okay?"

Su Xiangdong didn't know Erdan could sing. Seeing him carrying a guitar and looking like he was about to cause trouble, he didn't think about what song he could sing. He waved his hand and said, "You can change someone else. I think Nie Gong really can't sing anymore. Okay, let your son come. I want to see what song he can sing."

Erdan went on stage alone, holding his guitar, and everyone on the stage started to sing, "Deng Chun, do you want to listen to "Returning from Target Practice"? Okay, come on, I'll sing it for you."

As soon as he played the guitar, he started singing.

What is stage presence, what is dance steps, when Erdan starts to dance, Su Xiangdong can't compare to him at all.

"Wasn't this kid at home repairing the wall this morning? Why is he here?" The worker sat next to Chen Lina and was shocked.

Chen Lina also said, "I don't know either. He said he wouldn't come."

The kids below were all going crazy. They were watching Erdan jumping around on the stage, playing the guitar in all kinds of poses. They were also jumping around below, almost hitting their heads against each other.

The people in the farm all jumped up and asked for help.

Don't think that Secretary Ah is old-fashioned. After all, he is a member of the Ha ethnic group and has a natural musical talent. He pulled He Lanshan and started dancing under the stage.

When Nie Gong saw that the situation was not good, he was sure that he would be in trouble. Before He Lanshan's poisonous claws could reach out, he stood up, pulled Chen Lina, turned around and ran with her.

Suddenly, there was a buzzing sound on the stage, and Chen Lina actually heard a very familiar melody.

At this time, the couple had already run and hid in the woods for fear of being forced to dance.

“My country and I are inseparable. Wherever I go, a song of praise flows out…” This is the voice of Nie Weiguo, with the immaturity of a teenager and the breadth of an adult.

But his singing style is not particularly traditional. When he grows up, he will become a baritone with a very wide and powerful vocal range.

The worker suddenly stopped and stood in the woods, listening quietly.

It seemed that the people outside stopped dancing and just stood there quietly listening.

"I sing every mountain, I sing every river, every small village with curling smoke, and a song in my heart..."

Nie Weiguo's voice is high-pitched and heroic. He lets go of the guitar and waves his hands. "The sea is the child of the waves, the sea is the support of the waves. Whenever the sea smiles, I am the vortex of smile."

He had a special appeal because the children started waving their arms first, and then gradually everyone started waving their arms.

Huang Huacai was busy picking mugwort in the field, preparing to go back and make mugwort clusters. When he heard the sound, he sighed with great sadness, "Oh, this is my Dabao, why is he singing?"

After listening for a long time, she said, "Oh, Dabao is long gone, this is my Erdan."

The old lady listened for a long time, and when she heard "My dearest motherland, I will always be close to your heart", she suddenly remembered Sun Dabao who always held her and danced with her when she was a child, and tears started to flow.

Nie Gong has always listened to Chen Lina working and humming this song while driving. He has also heard Chen Lina explain to him that the person who wrote this song probably hasn't created it yet.

He lowered his head and smiled, "It's over, Lina. The composer and lyricist will probably receive less royalties."

Chen Lina stood in the woods, looking at the place where she had fought and shed five or six years of her youth, sweat and blood, and suddenly tears filled her face.

What she wanted was never to just do a good job in a place and then abandon it. She once wanted this farm to prosper and everyone on this farm to become rich. Until now, her original intention has not changed.

Of course, she had also seen many places that became rich first, but because of their wealth, people became greedy.

When people were poor and simple, they would be delighted to have a steamed bun. When they became rich, they would eat steamed buns whenever they wanted, they would want to eat greasy buns, and they would want to have big meals of meat and fish every day. If they couldn't get them, they would go to their neighbor's fields to pick some. They would not feel ashamed of stealing, because their neighbors would not starve to death anyway, and at most they would be a little angry. What's the big deal?

But this will ruin the atmosphere.

Looking back a lifetime ago, the whole of Umayee became a place where oil dealers, gangs, hooligans, and drug addicts abounded, and gave birth to gangsters like the Nie Weimin brothers, because the city became rich first, but public security, the rule of law, and education did not keep up.

Erdan was still singing and everyone was still listening, when suddenly the speaker sounded. Hey, Chen Lina simply turned off the music.

"Comrades and leaders of the farm, as the old leader of the farm, I have a few words to say to you today. Can you listen to me?" She directly held the microphone in her hand and sat on the edge of the stage.

No one spoke, no one applauded, but everyone was listening.

"We all love our motherland and our farm. Because of our motherland and our farm, we can now live in a world where people don't even want to eat cornmeal. Today, even stale steamed bread is not worth eating."

The members thought about it and felt that this was the case. The hunger they had experienced ten years ago was still fresh in their memory.

"At that time, Sun Duoyu was taken to the public security station and detained for two days for a big squash, and everyone thought it was normal. Duoyu was a grown-up girl, and the most diligent girl in our farm. But now, you just take a melon, a handful of green onions, or a handful of cotton from your neighbors' homes. You are so casual about stealing, and no one ever feels ashamed. I want to ask you, if the leaders want to change back to the collective system, what will you do?" Her voice suddenly hardened.

The members looked at each other, no one said anything, and everyone lowered their heads.

"You steal from me, I steal from you. When you are poor, you tighten your belt to save food for your children. When you have money, you corrupt your children. You let them steal and rob until they ruin the whole farm. People like you, are you worthy of singing about patriotism? Are you worthy of saying that every village and every river is your home?"

She actually started cursing people while taking advantage of the song sung by Erdan.

Finally, someone raised his hand and said, "Manager, I stole a chicken from Huang Huacai's house yesterday. I promise to return two today. Please don't be angry, okay?"

How could she not be angry? Chen Lina cried while sitting on the stage. "When you were so hungry, you still knew to help each other and invited your neighbors to have a taste of your own food. Now you steal whatever you want and don't care what others say. I want to ask you, do you feel comfortable eating that chicken?"

"Manager, I'm sorry, we don't dare to do it again." Someone else raised his hand and said.

Chen Lina threw the microphone away, climbed up, stood on the stage, put her hands on her waist and shouted, "From now on, if anyone on the farm reports that something is missing from their home, even if it's just a melon, the farm will immediately restore the collective system and everyone will earn work points together. Your hands will definitely not be itchy anymore."

Someone in the place grabbed his child and kicked him hard twice, saying, "If you dare to steal again, I will beat you to death."

There was also a woman who turned around and slapped the man in the face. "I told you to steal someone else's vegetables again, do you owe me that handful of vegetables, huh?"

In short, in the blink of an eye, the joyful entertainment event turned into a criticism and denunciation meeting.

The leaders were all a little impatient, so Gao Feng took the lead and said, "Let the kids watch the movie, and we'll go back first, how about that?"

"Let's go, let's go. I have to go back to help my child with his homework." said Hu Xuanang.

When one person said to leave, everyone ran away, leaving Yu Lianhai anxiously jumping up and down. "Didn't we agree to dance tonight? I want to dance, leader?"

"There is a dance hall in the mining area now. You can buy a ticket for two dollars tonight and go in and dance as you like." someone said.

Yulian Hai's eyes were as big as bells. "Dancing in a dance hall is the same as dancing on a farm. How can it be the same?"

Poor Staff Officer Yu, he managed to save his life after a narrow escape, but his wish to dance with Director Chen in his arms will probably never come true.

Su Xiangdong searched for a long time and finally found Nie Bozhao at the edge of the poplar forest farthest from the stage.

He said, "I have to admit that I am very mean and gloomy, and you and your wife are exactly the opposite of me. But Nie Bozhao, I think that meanness and gloom will gradually become the mainstream of this society. So, I respect you very much, but I'm sorry, I still don't believe that your persistence will lead to a bright future."

Nie Gong patted his shoulder and said, "It's nothing. It's good enough that you can give me the information about those oil dealers. However, the armed forces and the public security department are going to jointly eliminate the black oil mills tonight. Do you want to join our action?"

Su Xiangdong looked at Nie Gong coldly. No, he actually wanted to punch Nie Gong.

For every bag of crude oil sold by those oil dealers, Su Xiangdong could get a few dollars in commission. If he gave out the oil dealers, it would be like cutting off his own source of income.

Nie Bozhao actually invited him to go catch the oil dealer together?

What's the difference between this and selling him and letting him count the money?

Su Xiangdong also patted Nie Gong on the shoulder and said, "Don't go too far, Nie Gong. Persuade your wife to report to the car factory tomorrow, improve the performance of the car, and give the main factory and Beijing a satisfactory answer. The rest of the things, we will talk about it after we are done."

On the way home, Erdan sat in the back feeling quite nervous.

"Mom, don't you like the song I sing?" he asked.

"No, I like it very much." said Chen Lina.

"But you look very unhappy." Erdan said again.

Chen Lina said, "I am angry at the people on the farm, not you. By the way, you sing really well. Nie Weiguo, are you sure you don't want to be a singer, but join the army instead?"

"No, I want to apply to the PLA Academy of Arts. Li Mingcheng and I have an agreement." Erdan held his guitar and whispered, "Mom, we will form a band in the future. I will be the lead singer and Li Mingcheng will be the guitarist. We are also looking for other band members."

"Young man, you have a very clear plan for your future. That's right, you are my good son. You can take the college entrance exam, sing, and be a soldier. Dad supports your dream." After saying this, Nie Gong dropped Miss Chen and several children at the base, and drove away in the sunset.

There will be an operation to catch oil dealers tonight, and he is going to join up with Leng Qi and the others to catch the oil dealers together.

It was the first time that Erdan was encouraged by his father. He was so excited that he didn’t know what to do.

When I got home, the vegetables had been cut and arranged, the dough had been kneaded, and a large pot of starch had been prepared. Only Nie Weimin was not at home.

As soon as Chen Lina walked in, she knew that Nie Weimin must have sneaked out again to watch the police and the armed forces jointly enforce the law.

These boys become more difficult to control as they grow older.

Little Nie loves adventure by nature and likes to get involved in adult affairs. As the college entrance examination is approaching, it is a rare opportunity for him to have a break, so we might as well let him go. It is not a good thing to confine him forever to study and not change his mind.

However, Chen Lina guessed wrong this time. He was a man who protected the people. He really didn't go to see his father and the others jointly enforce the law.

He traveled a lot today.

First, he went to the mine to check the scores of the math competition.

Chai Tianming had been waiting in Uru until the score was known before returning. As soon as he got off the train, he swung his arms extremely wide, with an arc so large that he hit everyone within a radius of 50 centimeters.

"Principal Chai, have you returned from Uru? How did the kids do in the exam?" Who in the mining area dared not to know him? Of course, those who knew him would ask.

Chai Tianming waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "The two quotas for the autonomous region are of course for our mining area. It's such a simple matter, not surprising."

"Who are you two, kids?" Nowadays, there are not many Olympiads in mathematics, chemistry, and other fields. This kind of national competition is still very rare.

There were several train attendants and passengers at the train station, and all the trains stopped.

Chai Tianming said nonchalantly, "Oh, let me take a look. I haven't even looked at it yet." In fact, he had already read the name eight hundred times and almost laughed himself silly on the train.

"Nie Weimin and Liu Xiaohong, women are just as brave as men. Liu Xiaohong is one point better than Nie Weimin." Chai Tianming said as he walked out of the train station and left with a laugh.

Since Nie Weimin had heard it, he did not go and ask again.

He had saved up quite a bit of money for his business, so he took out the remittance slips one by one and went to the post office to withdraw the money.

The total amount was one hundred and twenty yuan, which was the remuneration he had earned over the years from contributing to many magazines and patents, and also from taking photos for Chen Lina.

That was the day before yesterday. He made an inquiry and learned that a family in the newly built Bayi Farm had the latest breed of half-grown sows for sale, and they were the most popular Frontier Large White pigs in the mining area.

This type of Frontier White pig has good cold resistance and a high birth rate. It can give birth in winter, and the pigs do not need a nest. As long as the pigpen is made a little warmer, they will survive.

Nie Weimin has already negotiated with the owner that a sow will cost 120 yuan, but the buyer has to come to pick it up.

So, he took another trip on the rickshaw and went to the Bayi Farm to pick up the goods.

As a result, he arrived at the farm, found the family raising the sows, gave them the money, and just as he picked up the sow, he found that Fu Yongdong from Base No. 1 had also come in.

When the two met, Wei Min even held a little white pig. How weird was that?

Fu Yongdong's face turned pale. He looked at Nie Weimin and suddenly asked, "Auntie, is Baiyi here?"

The woman who had just sold the sow to Nie Weimin said, "He's not here. What do you want from him?"

"About the oil matter, he knows me, I'm Fu Yongdong." Fu Yongdong said.

It was a small farmyard, and suddenly there was a sound of gun bolts in the house. Nie Weimin was a treacherous man. From the look on Fu Yongdong's face, it could be seen that this was definitely the traitor from the oil base that his father had been looking for.

Seeing that Fu Yongdong was reaching out to catch him, Nie Weimin hugged the sow, turned around and jumped onto the family's firewood pile, ran up the wall in a few steps, saw soft soil outside, and jumped down from the wall and rolled over.

I saw a group of public security and armed police officers outside, carrying guns.

Nuclear guns and live ammunition to eliminate oil thieves. Leng Qi only heard a gunshot in the yard and laughed, "This time the opponent has weapons of mass destruction, and they have already opened fire. Comrades, fuck it, go ahead!"

Nie Weimin held the sow in his arms and found a safe place to hide. He was quiet, stroking the piglet and watching the fun.

Of course the pigs still smell, but as long as they don't sleep with Liu Xiaohong.

He can bear it.
