Chapter 222

Brainwash each other

Xia Ying was probably a little slow to react, so she smiled provocatively and asked the worker, "Can I come in?"

This place of Nie Gong always tempts workers to steal, so it has been welded shut and locked.

Besides, his rules, except for Miss Chen, are indestructible in other places. "No, you will trample the flowers."

Xia Ying still had her camera with her. She also realized that she had used it wrongly just now. She stopped talking and handed her Nikon camera to Nian Gong. She brushed her long hair and said, "I love photography the most. So, let me take a picture in front of the witness of your love with your wife, okay? I want to witness the greatest love in this extremely difficult and harsh environment."

As she said this, she put her hands on her waist and started posing.

Besides, this woman really has the ability to moisten everything silently like the spring breeze and rain. "Is your wife still unaware of the existence of this sea of ​​flowers? Take a photo so that she can feel it too."

At this time, the worker should take a picture of her. It's a natural thing to do.

But Nie Gong took the camera in his hand, looked around, and when Xia Ying had posed enough, he put the camera away.

"Go ahead and take some photos. Nie Gong, don't tell me that you have become a country bumpkin in this frontier area. You don't even know how to use a camera, do you?"

"Ms. Xia, this is the border. You should have been inspected before entering. The camera cannot have entered. So, let me ask you, how did this camera get in?"

"I have applied to the leader of your mining area. I am just a woman. I came to invest, so I wanted to take some photos. There is nothing wrong with that, right?" Xia Ying looked innocent and confused.

Nie Gong said, "Of course she is wrong. I have already said that this is the frontier. Outsiders are not allowed to take photos of any inch of land here. If someone insists on taking photos, she is very likely a US-Japan spy."

"Then give me back my camera. Also, I think you are a meaningless person." Xia Ying said, reaching out for the camera.

The worker refused to give it to her. "I have to check the photos in your camera. This is the first reason. The second reason is that I will return the camera to you when you leave the country. You are here to do business. No matter who you were, you should know to abide by the laws of a place, right?"

Xia Ying was so angry that she stopped talking.

When she gets angry, she will return to the dignified, cold, and noble image of a rich lady that she had when we first met.

The worker took her on a tour of Base No. 3 and then prepared to go to the Bayi Farm, which was established only in the past two years.

The agricultural planning is very good, and because the wetland area is much larger than that of Mulan Farm, the scenery is very beautiful.

"Go back to the hotel." Xia Ying said directly.

The laborer said, "If you don't see the wetlands and oases when you arrive at the border, it's not interesting to just visit the mining area. It's autumn harvest time now, and the children are all picking cotton on the farm. I suggest you go and take a look, what do you think?"

"I was born in old Shanghai. When it comes to the words farming, frontier, and agricultural mass production, I hate them. I hate them extremely. I don't want to see those things," said Xia Ying.

She was one of the earliest people to go to the countryside, and it can be said that she had a deep hatred for going to the countryside and working.

"Su Xiangdong was originally in Yan'an. I have read a letter he wrote to his pen pal Fu Yongdong. In the letter, he said that he once walked thirty miles to buy a can of maltose.

After buying it, I walked another thirty miles to give you the can of malt extract, and then walked another sixty miles back to my own educated youth institute. Is this true?"

Xia Ying closed her eyes and said, "Yes."

"It's easy for me to grow snow lotus, as long as I'm full, and the can of maltose that Su Xiangdong bought for you is nothing to you.

But he walked 60 kilometers in one day on an empty stomach, which is the limit of a person's physical strength," said Nie Gong.

Su Xiangdong complained in a letter to Fu Yongdong that he didn't know why his wife insisted on eating a can of maltose. After he bought the can of maltose and returned to the educated youth site, his feet were covered with big blisters.

Xia Ying sneered, "I don't eat cheap stuff like malted milk anymore. If I want to drink milk, I'll have the freshest one flown directly from the Netherlands. If I want to eat foie gras, I can fly to France right away. If I get there early, I can even feed pigeons and sparrows in the square outside the Louvre and return to Hong Kong in the evening."

"But that kind of cheap stuff, at that time, Su Xiangdong spent one dollar, and he spent all his savings. And if you go to France to feed a pigeon, will you spend all of Li Rongjin's savings?"

"I can make money on my own. I'm not a lazy person. You must have misunderstood me. Do you think women like us can only rely on men for food when we go to Hong Kong?"

"Based on what? Based on selling the information you know and brainwashing many Chinese people, and then the Japanese will give you money?" Nie Gong asked sarcastically.

Xia Ying stopped talking.

Of course, a person like her has seen all kinds of handsome men. The worker used the beauty trap on her, and the man used the beauty trap on the worker.

When you come to the mining area, let the worker, who holds the secrets and has access to all places, walk around with you, take a few photos, and sell them to the Japanese. That would be a sky-high price.

That's why Xia Ying acted so warmly.

He is not a real spy, but he is just reselling a few photos, which is equivalent to making a little extra money.

"Hey, Nie Weijiang, your dad is here, and he brought a very beautiful girl with him." Deng Chun was picking cotton with a big cotton bag hanging on his chest. Suddenly, he took a closer look and said, "Fuck, I've seen the photo of this woman. She's my stepmother."

Sandan was itching for cotton, and when he saw Deng Chun coming towards his cotton, he pushed him away, "It's so hot, stay away from me."

"I don't want to see my godmother. My godfather fled to Hong Kong because of her, but was almost killed by the organization. I don't want to see her." Deng Chun said, and began to crawl into Sandan's arms.

"No, no, you want to, you want to, hurry up and say hello." Sandan said.

"I don't want to, I ... really don't want to."

"Nie Weijiang, are you tired of picking cotton? Are you still able to do it?" the worker said, rubbing his son's head.

"It's not tiring. I can do it. Besides, after we finish picking cotton today, Deng Chun and I will have picked enough cotton." Sandan smiled and waved his hand, "Hello, Auntie."

Xia Ying was very impatient, she squinted her eyes and said, "Hello, little friend."

"It must be hard work picking cotton. To be honest, my daughter doesn't even know where cotton grows from. Seeing you kids working so hard, I feel really sorry for them. You probably haven't played with a camera before, but my daughter's birthday present this year is a Leica Polaroid camera."

Coincidentally, Nie Weijiang had heard of the Leica camera because Edward sent him one, but it was held at customs and could not pass approval.

"It's not hard. Labor is the most glorious." Sandan said.

"Who is this kid? Why doesn't he look at me?" Xia Ying's gaze finally fell on Deng Chun.

Deng Chun still didn't say hello, his little head was still sticking in the cotton.

"Deng Chun?" Xia Ying was suddenly excited. "It's you, isn't it? Oh my God, it's really you. I can't believe that I can actually see you. Ah, Wang Chun was willing to go to Hong Kong with me at that time. Her breast cancer can be cured, but she insisted on staying in Shanghai."

"Look, she started crying. Ah, I hate seeing women crying. Besides, I also hate when people mention my mother," said Deng Chun.

When Nie Weijiang heard the woman mention Deng Chun's mother, he lifted her head and said, "Auntie, we are going to plant cotton over there. Goodbye."

Carrying cotton bags, the two little boys ran away, one in front and one behind.

Xia Ying looked at the two children's backs as they walked away and said, "I understand. Nie Gong, you took me to Base No. 3 to test whether I was a Japanese spy. And you came here to show me how miserable the son of my former colleague is now. You wanted to arouse my sympathy and persuade Li Rongjin to invest in the mining area, right?"

"You are both right and wrong." Nie Gong said, "Miss Xia, look at Deng Chun. He is not to be pitied. He may not have eaten French food or played with a Leica camera, but his mind will be as broad as the cotton fields on the frontier in the future."

Xia Ying looked at the endless cotton fields and could only say that when values ​​and concepts were different, in her eyes, she could not see the word "broad".

"Such strong ultraviolet rays will damage my skin. Let's go quickly." She said, and opened her umbrella with a snap.

Mr. Nie specially took a detour around the Bayi Farm and also came to pick up the two children.

The men had a whole day of activities today. Of course, even the inspection team from the Ministry of Industry from Beijing became a foil. Everyone accompanied Li Rongjin to visit the infrastructure of the mining area.

No one knew where Chen Lina had gone. As a laborer, she still had to provide lunch for the two children at noon.

He drove back to the mining area.

The leaders are visiting the infrastructure today, so their inspection of the car factory will definitely be scheduled for tomorrow.

The leader is coming, and everyone is nervous. Have we put out everything that needs to be put out? And with Hong Kong businessmen among them, many things involving industrial secrets have to be hidden.

"Just make an investment. How much money do you have? If you invest it in the car factory, your new cars can be put into mass production earlier." Chen Lina, wearing a safety helmet, was walking in the workshop with Su Dong.

There were clanging sounds everywhere, and when passing by the welding area, the deafening noise was so deafening that it made people lose their voices.

"That money was originally intended to be given to Xia Ying," said Su Xiangdong.

Just then a forklift came from behind, and Chen Lina pushed it over. Fortunately, the forklift stopped in time and did not run over Su Xiangdong.

But the driver on the forklift started yelling, "Leaders, are you going to die? I'll run you over and I'll go to jail. Really, there's nothing wrong with inspecting the workshop, but you guys wouldn't do this, right?"

"Chen Lina, don't you have a gun at home? Just get it and shoot me, okay?" Su Xiangdong also yelled.

"You stole the oil from my laborer, sold it for money, and wanted to give it to the concubine of the capitalist tycoon. Su Xiangdong, if you were not really capable and capable, I would visit you right now and send you to jail." Chen Lina shouted.

Su Xiangdong threw up his hands helplessly and shouted, "Can you please listen to me and finish my words? Let's analyze the growth history of a criminal, okay?"

"She got pregnant first, but we didn't have the conditions to have a baby. I was criticized very harshly at that time, and she was my wife. In addition to working every day, she had to go to classes and study endlessly. So we had the baby aborted. We did it at the township clinic, during a curettage. I sat outside and could hear the cold sound of the instrument. She didn't have anesthesia, and she just kept crying. She kept crying."

The two continued walking forward, and Su Xiangdong spoke again.

"Later, when she finally got the chance to go back to the city to visit her relatives, she insisted on leaving. I told her that I would earn 100,000 yuan and give it to her, begging her not to leave.

As a couple, we got married when I was 17, and I lived with her until I was 25. Really, I never gave her anything. I wanted to compensate her, but she had to leave. If she left, I would not only lose my job, but I would also not be able to guarantee my personal safety. "Su Xiangdong then added.

"At the time I thought, if I reported her, the border guards would be able to get her back for me."

Kneeling by the sea, he cried bitterly. He was not afraid of going to jail. He just wanted Xia Ying to come back and prove to her that he was not unable to make money or incompetent. He could give her money and everything she wanted.

"She had a very hard life in Yan'an during those years. It was really hard, so hard that no matter what she did, I am willing to forgive her."

Chen Lina was about to explode with rage. She was not angry at Su Xiangdong for loving his ex-wife, but at him. For the sake of this kind of love, it seemed that he now wanted to give all the dirty money he earned to his ex-wife.

"I won't give her that money now. The moment I saw Li Rongjin, I didn't want to give it to her." Su Xiangdong stopped Chen Lina and said, "That man is too wretched. No, he is not a man. I think it's not terrible for a woman to bow to reality in order to survive, but it's beyond ethics to marry a man 20 years older than herself. This woman is not worthy of my love."

"Don't tell me your great love story here, and don't mention your sadness." Chen Lina said, "Let's go to the cafeteria to have a bowl of rice, then we'll go around the experimental site and finally determine the route for tomorrow's inspection, okay?"

As she said this, Chen Lina was wondering in her heart how much money Su Xiangdong had.

And where will he use the money in the end?

"Miss Xia, why don't you go back to the hotel and have a bowl of mutton noodles with us?" Nie Gong asked tentatively while bringing the child with him.

There are not many restaurants in the mining area. It is too luxurious to eat stir-fried dishes at noon. Everyone is used to eating a bowl of mutton noodles when they have to eat out.

State-owned Hotel, this is the best restaurant in the mining area.

Nie Weijiang was drooling. "Dad, I want a big bowl today. I'm really hungry."

Deng Chun said, "I also want to eat hand-pulled meat, but I only have 80 cents, can I buy one or two ounces of meat?"

If Xia Ying had said that she was a little curious about the laborer at the beginning, now she has nothing at all, let alone curiosity.

"As a senior engineer, do you know what those people in Silicon Valley who may have less experience and research results than you have for lunch? Red wine, steak, salad. If you look at the menu, a salad is worth your monthly salary, but you only have a bowl of fried noodles for lunch."

Xia Ying shook her head and said, "If you are willing to take a step forward, you don't know how much you will get, really."

"No, Aunt Xia, you can't say that. My dad only eats a bowl of mutton noodles for lunch, but the contribution he made to the oil industry is admired by the whole world. It's just like our Eighth Route Army liberating all of China with millet and rifles. It's something we can brag about for the rest of our lives."

Nie Weijiang said as he opened the car door, pulled Deng Chun in, and went to ask for mutton noodles. "Auntie, auntie, I want three big bowls, lots of noodles."

"Is this a hereditary arrogance in your family?" Xia Ying was speechless.

Nie Gong looked at Xia Ying, who was helplessly spreading her hands, and smiled. "I don't know how many people have lobbied me. You are not the last one, Miss Xia. But what I want to say is that our concepts and ideas are completely different. I won't accompany you this afternoon. The Oil Hotel is not far away. You can walk back by yourself."

A mutual brainwashing, but it was unsuccessful.

Xia Ying still despised the entire mining area, and still despised Ye Gong's stubbornness.

As for Nie Gong, he was so angry with Miss Xia Ying that he didn't even bother to use his beauty trap.

This time, even if Miss Chen never married him, he would not regret it. Anyway, he would not deal with Miss Xia again. As for the investment in the clothing factory, bullshit, let that Li Rongjin get lost.

When I returned to the laboratory in the afternoon, Nie Gong called Gao Feng.

Of course, it was for the purpose of conducting a thorough investigation to find out who had made an exception and allowed the members of the investigation team to bring the camera to the border.

As for Miss Xia, in order to get something from the worker, she didn't even bring her secretary with her and ran out alone.

This time, she went back to the hotel alone.

Fortunately, the hotel was not far from where Nie Gong ate noodles, but what made Ning more angry was that Chen Lina, who had just been kicked out of the car by her, was standing at the door of the hotel, waiting for her, with long wavy hair, a red leather jacket, and a pair of real leather boots on her long legs.
