Chapter 219

Farewell

Military training was conducted at the Uruguayan Armed Forces.

There are three major items: military internal affairs, field service and infantry training.

All the children changed into military uniforms and went through seven days of military training in dormitories before starting the examination.

After seven days of training, given the July weather, all the students were tanned like Bao Gong.

Li Mingcheng wears glasses, so he is not Bao Gong, he has turned into a panda. Every time he takes off his glasses, everyone can't help laughing at him.

Housekeeping and drills are actually simple, just making beds and quilts, and a set of military salutes. But the most important thing is field service, 30 kilometers of carrying heavy loads. During the three years of high school, most children are basically imprisoned by their parents. Apart from eating, they study. Unless they are students with special talents in sports, their physical fitness cannot keep up.

As for the hiking, we were directly on the Gobi Desert, under the scorching sun, with military vehicles and ambulances following behind and instructors leading in front. We were almost tanned.

The boys were fine, but most of the girls were sunburned. As for the older educated youth who were delayed for ten years and are now repeating their studies, it’s even worse. How can they keep up with the physical strength?

"Xiaohong, I can't do it anymore. I'll take the exam again next year. I want to go back." Gao Xiaobing was almost dying of the sun, so she started to walk back without caring about anything.

"Give me your water bottle and everything in your bag," said Liu Xiaohong.

She carried the most things and walked the fastest, but in order to take care of Gao Xiaobing, she did not walk in front.

In a thirty-kilometer march, the one in front may not necessarily win, but the one who can reach the end is the one who has the last laugh.

Gao Xiaobing took off his water cup and sandbag, and since the instructor couldn't see them due to the crowd, he gave them all to Liu Xiaohong.

"You must be the Iron Man Wang Jinxi," said Gao Xiaobing.

Liu Xiaohong seemed to be unable to walk, so she said, "When the instructor can't see, take out all the things you are carrying and give them to me."

Gao Xiaobing felt a little relieved now that she had only an empty bag on her.

"Come on, for Li Mingcheng," she said.

Liu Xiaohong was furious. "Gao Xiaobing, you are a girl. Don't be so shameless in front of men."

"Then what should I say?" Gao Xiaobing looked confused.

"In order to make Li Mingcheng feel out of your league, keep going. BFSU is waving at you," said Liu Xiaohong.

Gao Xiaobing was unwilling. "I just want to be with him, why does he have to be out of my reach?"

…

"I can't take it anymore, Xiaohong. Let Li Mingcheng die. I just want to go home." After taking a few more steps, Gao Xiaobing couldn't walk anymore. She stretched out her hand and began to wave to the instructor.

If she waved at this time, she could certainly be sent home, but her military training would be a complete failure.

Liu Xiaohong unscrewed her own water bottle, and even though her throat was steaming with thirst, she still poured all the water onto Gao Xiaobing's head. Then she unscrewed Gao Xiaobing's water bottle, filled her mouth with water, and yelled, "We're only five miles away, are you crazy? Do you want to go back?"

"I can't hold on any longer."

"You have to persist even if you can't. Otherwise, I will tell Li Mingcheng that you wrote no less than eighty love letters to Nie Weimin throughout high school," said Liu Xiaohong.

Gao Xiaobing briefly liked Nie Weimin, but he didn't respond. Writing a love letter to her was just a momentary confusion, so how could she tell Li Mingcheng?

"If you dare, Liu Xiaohong, you stinky little piglet, I will tear you apart if you dare."

"Come on, come on, come and tear me apart." Liu Xiaohong said, turning around and walking forward quickly.

The two of them chased each other, scolding and arguing, and when the sun set and the Gobi Beach turned red, they finally reached their destination.

Gao Xiaobing was dragged to the destination by Liu Xiaohong.

…

As expected, Liu Xiaohong and Nie Weimin were both admitted to Tsinghua University, but Nie Weimin studied aerospace engineering, while Liu Xiaohong studied electronic information engineering.

Li Mingcheng was lazy all day long, but he was admitted to the PLA Art Academy and is now a glorious soldier.

Gao Xiaobing got what she wanted and was admitted to Beijing Foreign Studies University. As for He Junqiang, He Min couldn't even praise him with a trumpet, because that kid was admitted to Nie Gong's alma mater, Beijing Institute of Technology.

In this scorching hot summer, parents were all busy raising tuition for their children, taking them to register, and moving them into dormitories. For example, He Min even invited classmates from He Junqiang's dormitory to have a meal together, while Wang Geming moved directly out of the school to accompany his son in his studies.

Chen Lina also felt that she should prepare something.

But the worker refused to allow it. "It's not like he hasn't been to Beijing before. He has the keys to his house. Doesn't he know the few words about school? Why does he have to have you take him with you?"

"Maybe he's timid and afraid. What if someone takes away his money along the way?"

Universities don’t charge tuition now, not even miscellaneous fees, but Chen Lina gave the two children a large sum of food expenses and was afraid that the money would be taken away by others.

Nie Gong thought it was too straightforward. “Do you think anyone would dare to steal Nie Weimin’s wallet?”

The young man has grown a lot in the past six months and looks even stronger than his father. He has a buzz cut and looks like he wants to keep strangers away. If anyone dares to pick his pocket, wouldn't that be asking for trouble?

Chen Tiantian also took the train today. She was going to Beijing on a business trip with Su Xiangnan. As berths were difficult to buy, they bought hard seats.

As soon as Chen Tiantian got in the car, she took out a book from her bag and started reading.

Nie Weimin saw that the cover seemed to be a photo of Liu Xiaohong, and was just looking down at it when Gao Xiaobing reached out and snatched the book away. "Hey, Liu Xiaohong, you must have made a lot of money from this book, right?"

"Three dollars for one." Liu Xiaohong said, and came over, looking at herself in the photo curiously.

"All that's printed on it are a group of little girls. There's no language or words. Reading this kind of book is a sheer waste of life." Nie Weimin said as he saw a group of little girls huddled together reading.

Chen Tiantian was unhappy. "This is not a book at all. This is a clothing catalog of our clothing factory. I will take it to major shopping malls in Beijing and show it to the managers of the malls. Then they can place orders."

"Do girls have to wear them? Why don't they put the clothes on the ground and take pictures of them one by one?" Li Mingcheng came over and asked.

Chen Tiantian explained, "Because models are wearing the clothes, we can most directly express the effect of the clothes on the body. This is called a clothing photo album."

Gao Xiaobing looked at them for a long time and said, "Su Xiangnan is still a nice person, she is dressed in a fashionable style. Liu Xiaohong is a stinky piglet."

Liu Xiaohong immediately pinched her mouth and said, "Li Mingcheng, I have something interesting to say. Do you want to hear it from me?"

Gao Xiaobing pointed at Liu Xiaohong's mouth and said, "You dare!"

"If you're afraid that I don't dare, then don't hurt me, huh!" Liu Xiaohong didn't give in at all.

Nie Weimin closed his eyes and said, "Beating is love, scolding is love. You two, love each other from now on."

He was really impressed by this kind of girl who was always quarreling but with whom he had a very good relationship.

"Su Xiangnan wears clothes that are fashionable. The clothes are mostly ordered by shopping malls in Shanghai and Suzhou. However, Liu Xiaohong wears clothes that are more popular in inland cities such as Xi'an and Chengdu." Chen Tiantian is now very knowledgeable about clothes. "Do you know why?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"Because our manager Su's appearance is in line with the southern aesthetic, and her clothes are also of a southern style. Liu Xiaohong's appearance belongs to the northern aesthetic, and her clothes are also designed according to the characteristics of the north."

"There is such a science in clothing. Then take a look and see what suits me?" Gao Xiaobing said.

Chen Tiantian looked at it for a while and said, "You can't wear long clothes. You have to wear clothes that show your waist, proportions, and sweetness. That's how you'll look good." Because Gao Xiaobing has a baby face and is relatively short.

Nie Weimin closed his eyes, said nothing, and smiled bitterly.

In order to buy a large white piglet that was resistant to freezing, he was nearly shot to death in a fight between the armed police and oil thieves.

As a result, Liu Xiaohong no longer has to raise pigs to earn tuition fees. She can earn her living expenses by working as a model for a clothing factory.

What is this?

Taking advantage of the autumn light of September, after saying goodbye to the older ones, we still have to take care of the younger ones.

After sending the child out, Chen Lina also had to send He Lanshan off.

"How is it, have I made enough money in my life?" He Lanshan said, "My daughter is in college, Beijing Foreign Studies University, and I should go to accompany my husband Gao, but even if I go to the autonomous region, I will still miss the mining area. By the way, how is the handover between Secretary A and Leng Qi going? Leng Qi just retired, and I don't think he will be a leader.

On the one hand, you need to have the laborers keep a close eye on him and prevent him from firing recklessly. On the other hand, you also need to scare him and make sure he and Hu Xuanang form a good team. Don’t use your old soldier tricks all the time and scare Hu Xuanang.”

Yes, it has been a while since the higher-ups have been planning to change the leader of the mining area.

Secretary Ah had worked in a position for more than ten years before he was qualified to study at the Party School. Then, after some research, the higher-ups actually put Leng Qi in the position of secretary.

As for Secretary A, after returning from the Party School, according to inside information, he will be the top leader of the entire autonomous region.

For this reason, Nie Gong even made special phone calls and wrote letters to the Youth Cadres and the Central Group, insisting that Leng Qi was not suitable to be the top leader.

However, the reply letter said that the leaders handed over the mining area to him in consideration of his father's contributions and his continuous self-improvement over the years.

Of course, it is time for him to change his career at his age. However, it is rare for someone to become the top leader directly after changing his career. It is estimated that after working for a few years, if his performance is not good, he will be transferred to a county.

After waving goodbye to He Lanshan, Chen Lina turned around and suddenly felt someone grabbing her skirt. She cried out, as if something seemed to have got under her skirt.

"Leng Feng, good! Your father had never crawled under your aunt's skirt when he was your age. Good! You are better than your father." A voice came from behind. It was Leng Qi.

The worker moved all the luggage for He Lanshan into the car, and pulled out a little kid from under Chen Lina's skirt. When he saw the kid, he drooled for a long time and started to bite his finger.

You don’t have to tell me, it hurts so much when a child bites his fingers.

"Nie Bozhao, your guard once pooped on my pants, but I didn't say anything at the time. I don't believe that you would dare to cry out in pain if my son bit you." Leng Qi said.

Nie Gong has never been as good as Leng Qi at coaxing children, but in fact, it hurt a lot when the little guy with only a few front teeth was bitten.

"Let me go and bite your dad," he said.

Xiao Fengfeng: No, he's still humming through his nose.

The worker complained to Chen Lina, "My finger must have been bitten off."

Deng Chun exaggerated, "My sister bit me like this, but my dad insisted that it was just a joke and it didn't hurt."

But Nie Weixing had a solution. He took out a candy from his mouth, put it in front of Xiao Fengfeng's nose and twisted it around. Xiao Fengfeng immediately opened his mouth and ran after Nie Weixing.

Nie Gong looked at the four deep teeth marks on his fingers, patted Deng Chun's shoulder, who was still waiting for confirmation, and said, "We know everything, but we won't say anything. We forgive the child, okay?"

Deng Chun nodded vigorously and ran after the little satellite.

Today Anna specially cooked a meal at home and invited the worker's family to dinner. Firstly, it was to celebrate Leng Qi's good job after his career change. Secondly, of course, it was because Leng Qi was doing well as a local tyrant, but now he has taken on such a heavy responsibility in the mining area. Leng Qi himself was afraid that he could not handle it.

Besides, it’s been a long time since we old friends got together.

Anna had never been very good at cooking, so she asked the cafeteria for some pickled vegetables to cut, gave them to Nian Gong and Leng Qi to eat with their drinks, and then started cooking for herself.

Chen Lina put the children aside, went into the kitchen, and started helping her.

"Your Leng Qi's job transfer was handled very quickly, Anna. You are close to him, but have you ever asked if he used connections or bribed people?" The secretary of the mining area has always been a nationalist, and this is also the policy of the border areas. Why does it feel so strange that Leng Qi suddenly took over?

Anna said, "Speaking of all this, we have to talk about Ma Xiaofang."

Ma Xiaofang's lover Chen Junyan and Chen's father have been reporting to Deng Dongya and investigating the seeds.

Just a few months ago, the matter was finally settled.

Chen Junyan was dismissed from public office, and his father has entered the public prosecution process for being involved in the reselling of state assets.

At this time, Ma Xiaofang didn't know what was wrong with her, she actually went to Beijing for an interview and reported Leng Qi, saying that he was cultivating party members, was involved in organized crime, and so on.

As a result, the higher-ups did not find anything wrong with Leng Qi, but they did discover that Ma Xiaofang had secretly accepted a large sum of bribes while in the rehabilitation group that started in 1976.

Well, Ma Xiaofang was arrested, and the mining area now needs a successor to Secretary A. Bu Lengqi's father was a veteran and committed suicide by shooting himself, so of course the organization is willing to train him.

"I can't do this job, Nie Bozhao. How about this? I'll make a report to my superiors and go to the Public Security Bureau to be the sixth in command. The job of the mining district secretary will be done by your son Xiao Chen." Leng Qi said.

He also didn't know how to describe it. "You know, every time we have a meeting, I always feel like I'm the sheepdog among the sheep."

Nie Bozhao recalled the scene he described and found that it was quite similar. "That's great, isn't it? Now everyone in the mining area is a sheep, and you are the sheepdog?"

"Fuck him, you know that as a leader you can't curse people casually?" Leng Qi said.

My sister and Nie Weijiang were eating peanuts when their hands were covered with oil. "Dad Leng is swearing again."

Nie Gong said, "This is also a kind of self-regulation for you. If you can't achieve results in the mining area, it's okay. The oil industry is developing so well now. You can still have achievements even if you just lie down. But you can't speak rudely anymore. You have to work hard to be a good leader."

"Uncle, Xiao Fengfeng bit me." Deng Chun suddenly started shouting.

Nie Gong took a look and found that it was true. Xiao Fengfeng had not grown any teeth recently, and he was only one year and two months old, which was the age when he could still walk unsteadily but not yet able to walk. He lay on Deng Chun's ear, bit one of his ears, and was laughing with saliva drooling.

Deng Chun didn't dare to fight, and Sandan couldn't pull him away. If he pulled, Deng Chun's ears would have fallen off.

"Leng Qi, you are not so used to your son, right? Isn't it time for you to guide the child?" Nie Gong said.

Leng Qi waved his hands, took some chili water from the plate, and rubbed it on his ears. "Come on, Fengfeng, bite daddy's ears, come on."

Xiao Fengfeng opened his mouth wide because he was teething and his teeth were itchy. He would pull everything he saw to grind his teeth, and he was really staggering, so he bit his father's ear.

Then, after biting for a while, he suddenly let go.

The little hand wiped his tongue and kept spitting out saliva. Obviously, it was because of the spiciness.

Pointing at his ear, Leng Qi said, "Did you see that, Deng Chun? Did you learn it? If he wants to bite you, it must be because his teeth are itchy. So, rub chili peppers all over your body and see if he will bite you."

Deng Chun really went to the kitchen to ask for chili peppers.

The three-year-old sister dragged the one-year-old Xiao Fengfeng up and held him in her arms. "But Xiao Fengfeng never bites me." She said, "He doesn't even bite my fingers."

Leng Qi said, "Because he likes you, do you understand? There are only two people he won't bite, one is you, and the other is his mother. This shows how important our satellite is in Feng Feng's heart."

Although he looks cold and strange, he has such good intentions in order to find a wife for his son.

Nie Gong couldn't listen any more, so he called Sandan over and pointed at Nie Weixing and said, "Go, get your sister out of here, and don't let her play with that little brother who likes to bite people anymore."

As expected, Sandan coaxed his sister away.

"Su Xiangdong confessed to me that the organized and disciplined crimes from Daqing to Jingbian were actually his partnership with someone, and that person holds a very high position in the current oil system." Nie Gong told Leng Qi when he had time.

Leng Qi nodded and said, "That's right. He can't handle such a big thing by himself."

Nie Gong then continued, "He said that he was willing to reveal the evidence of that person's crime and many of the things he had done before, but now is not the right time. Right now, he still wants to get the car factory back on track."

Men are born with the determination to do something great.

Su Xiangdong is no exception.

His method of stealing oil can even be patented.

However, Leng Qi frowned and said, "He still wants to save face in front of that Hong Kong tycoon. The Hong Kong tycoon is coming to the border for an inspection, and someone kidnapped his wife. He doesn't want to lose face, right?"

"If you, Chen Junyan, come to the border, what will you do?" Nie Gong asked back.

Leng Qi waved his hands and said, "There is no comparison. No matter how bad Chen Junyan is, he is still in China. The man Su Xiangdong's ex-wife followed is a big capitalist, an evil big capitalist."

We must help Su Xiangdong regain this face.

Anna was peeling potatoes in the kitchen. She saw her sister feeding Xiao Fengfeng with egg cake outside. She said, "Director, your satellite was also spoiled by you two. How come she is so caring?"

"You learned this from your Leng Qi, right?" Chen Lina was peeling green onions. Seeing Deng Chun rubbing chili peppers on his body, she slapped him on the butt. "Aren't you afraid of dying of the spiciness? Why are you rubbing chili peppers on your face?"

After Deng Chun finished applying it, he felt his eyes itchy, so he rubbed them with his hands.

As expected, he started crying.
