Chapter 223

Happy Life

"Hey, you, go back and tell your leader that I will not stay in a place like this garbage dump. Please arrange a more luxurious hotel for me, otherwise, I will leave immediately."

Chen Lina said, "Ms. Xia, I am the secretary of the Light Industry Bureau of the mining area. Please call me Secretary Chen."

"Yes, you still believe that international communism will definitely be realized. Your brain is probably armed with the idea that communism will definitely defeat capitalism, right?" Xia Ying was simply making fun of people all the time.

Su Xiangdong was right. She was basically dragging her one-fifth husband, whom she shared with others, to the mining area to show off her wealth and her superiority.

"Have you forgotten the Wo Wo Tou that you ate in Yan'an?" Chen Lina asked back.

Xia Ying pulled at her skirt, and stroked her permed hair which was messed up by the wind, and was stunned for a moment.

"When we were in Yan'an, we rode in a donkey cart to meet the masses. The donkeys pooped as they walked, and you had to stare at their butts and endure the stench. Have you forgotten that? Have you also forgotten the big kang we slept on?" Chen Lina asked again.

Xia Ying was so angry that her face turned pale. "Chen Lina, just wait. Tonight, I will criticize you in front of your leaders and make them remove you from your position."

"In Shenzhen, I was waiting for the ferry at the mangrove forest. Halfway through the ferry, I was discovered by border guards. So when I was floating towards Hong Kong with a gasoline can, did you forget the sea water you blew? Miss Xia Ying, you have always had a very privileged life. You didn't grow up in the clouds and ivory towers. Yes, you escaped and are living a privileged life now.

However, happiness is not necessarily what you have now. If you love it, stay with it. If you don’t love it, leave quickly and get out of here.

What I want to tell you is that Su Xiangdong is a thousand times happier and ten thousand times more fulfilled than you. If you come here to show off, you are totally wrong. "

Xia Ying sneered twice and said in her high heels, "The self-arming of fools is invincible. But Chen Lina, I will remember you. Don't even think about my husband investing a penny in the mining area."

"That's not your husband, right? Don't think we don't know anything just because we live in a mining area. Li Rongjin has a wife at home, and you are just a concubine. And he once said that he is very loyal and will only love 18-year-old girls forever?"

Xia Ying was so stunned by Chen Lina that she couldn't say a word. She only said, "Chen Lina, I will remember you."

But at least she moved into the hotel.

In the evening, Hu Xuanang led his team to entertain the inspection team as usual.

As for Leng Qi, in order to prevent himself from blowing the cannon at any time, he just stayed behind to ensure security at the rear.

When Chen Lina returned to Leng Qi's house, she was stunned.

Leng Qi's house is filled with photos of Su Xiangdong in the desert, in the workshop, and in various places, and in every photo, he is smiling like that black man Toothpaste.

What's even more exaggerated is that the big bed in the bedroom is covered with the latest double-happy quilt cover. The bed is very thick, and the mattress comes from nowhere. The plastic is not even removed, and it says "West Lake Mattress, Tempered Thousands of Times" on it.

Alas, what is this West Lake mattress? It is actually a fake. The springs will pop out after you sleep on it for three days.

Entering the small bedroom, Anna was looking depressed and was packing her and Xiao Fengfeng's clothes and other things.

"Director Chen, don't you know the comrades in the Central Group? I beg you, please write a letter to the Central Group and tell them that Leng Qi is really not suitable to be a leader. Have you ever seen a local secretary give up his home to someone else just to give a man a face?" Anna said.

Chen Lina looked around the room and said, "Let them do whatever they want. But no matter how much they do, Xia Ying's contempt for Su Xiangdong is deep-rooted. I can't explain this to you."

Anyway, in the year 2000, the Republic was developing rapidly, and the residents of the Republic looked back at India.

Looking at North Korea, it’s just great. That’s how Xia Ying feels now when she looks at the mining area. How can this be changed?

The next morning, the leaders of the mining area also made deliberate arrangements.

When the leaders went to inspect the workshop, they specially arranged an opportunity for Chen Lina to meet with Li Rongjin.

"Ms. Chen, I'm sorry."

"Mr. Li has said that. We have just met for the first time. Why should I apologize?"

"In short, everything is self-explanatory. As for the camera, I really don't know how Xiao Xia brought it in. For this, I have said sorry a hundred times today. And I also know that you have been busy these days, waiting for a chance to talk to me, right?"

Although Lee Young-geum doesn't look that good, his demeanor, manners towards women, conversation, and everything else are impeccable.

Besides, it's not like they just came here without any preparation.

Chen Lina also brought her own cotton, sample cloth, cotton and wool textiles and other things, but Mr. Li waved his hand and his assistant took out all the products of the woolen textile and clothing factories that are currently sold nationwide.

Apparently, they have done very detailed research on the products in the mining area and have a good understanding of them.

Obviously, none of the truly wealthy people in this world gained their wealth by wind.

There's also a banquet in the evening, so this kind of thing is inevitable.

However, no matter which leaders came from the mining area, or which big customers came from the clothing factory or woolen textile factory, Chen Lina has never attended a dinner party that was not organized by herself and that she did not like in all these years.

She drove to pick up Nie Weixing first, well, she didn't pick him up because Nie Weixing now felt that it was his responsibility to take care of Xiao Fengfeng. He was afraid that Xiao Fengfeng would cry if he left at night, so he refused to go back to the base.

So she drove to pick up Deng Chun and Nie Weijiang again, but she didn't find them on the way.

I asked the old man who repaired shoes at the school gate and found out that the two of them had already gone home in a bus.

Erdan now has many friends, and as soon as he gets out of school he goes to the back of the woolen textile factory to set up a stage and sing.

It is said that he is still a well-known singer in the mining area. A group of people like to listen to his songs, but he never goes home for dinner.

After buying two dishes, Chen Lina drove home by herself.

As a result, as soon as I entered the gate of the base, I saw two children fighting.

"Get away, Deng Chun is not my brother, get out, leave our house, I don't want you anymore, get out." It was Nie Weijiang. This guy is quite scary when he gets angry.

As for Deng Chun, he was standing outside the big iron gate and wanted to go in, but Nie Weijiang, along with Little Jinbao, Little Doudou, and Mai Liye, and a group of other kids pointed sticks at him and refused to let him in.

Chen Lina got out of the car quickly. "Nie Weijiang, what are you doing? Why don't you let Deng Chun in?"

"Auntie Xiao Chen, you are finally here. It's like this. Nie Weijiang and I are no longer friends. We are no longer brothers. However, you will still want me, right?"

"If I don't want you, where can you go?" Chen Lina asked back.

After opening the trunk, she said, "Come on, bring the food. I'll cook for you after you bring the food."

Deng Chun followed closely behind Chen Lina, carrying the basket of vegetables. He occasionally looked back at Nie Weijiang, who was holding a stick and walking behind him with a sinister look in his eyes. He then whispered to Chen Lina, "Auntie Chen, can I sleep with you tonight?"

"You are already an eleven-year-old boy, sleeping with an adult, aren't you ashamed?"

"Life is obviously more important than shame. Did you see the look in Nie Weijiang's eyes? He wanted to kill me." Deng Chun said.

You have to peel onions and garlic as soon as you enter the door.

October has a lot of things, but vegetables are the most abundant. Today, there are only two children at home eating, so Chen Lina has to ask their opinions on what they want to eat.

Nie Weijiang was obviously angry with Deng Chun, but when he heard about eating, he temporarily put his anger aside. "I want to eat dried vegetables steamed with oil residue. I like to eat dried eggplant steamed with oil residue."

"Then go outside and pick the dried eggplants from the eaves and wash them clean," said Chen Lina.

"Deng Chun, drag the ladder and I'll pick the dried vegetables." Nie Weijiang said loudly.

Deng Chun wanted to eat scrambled eggs with cucumber, so Chen Lina fried another tender cucumber and egg.

As a result, when it was time to eat, the two children's noses were no longer noses, and their eyes were no longer eyes.

Chen Lina has always been a lenient person in this regard. Anyway, we fight today and we'll be fine tomorrow, brothers, that's how it is.

As a result, at night, when it was time to go to bed, Deng Chun refused to leave her bed, gesturing with his hands, "Auntie Chen, I only have this little space, okay? Please, don't hand me over to Nie Weijiang."

Chen Lina inexplicably felt a little cold behind her. She turned around and saw Sandan standing outside the door of the small bedroom with a sinister look in his eyes.

Moreover, when she wasn't paying attention, he pretended to cut her neck with a knife. It was extremely scary.

Chen Lina went to the living room, took her 11-year-old, tall and thin son into her arms, slapped him hard on the buttocks twice, and asked, "Nie Weijiang, why do you bully Deng Chun?"

Sandan hugged Chen Lina's neck and pointed at the child raised by Deng Chun's stepmother and said, "He copied homework for others, and he has been doing it for more than one or two days."

"How to copy?"

"He did a lot of students' homework for them, charging them 50 cents for each assignment, but he didn't do his own homework. He always lied to me, saying his hands hurt from picking cotton and asked me to do it for him," said Sandan.

Chen Lina laughed when she heard this. "Deng Chun, you are indeed from the city. You have a strong sense of business opportunities. Let me ask you, how much money did you make? What did you do with the money? Did you buy cigarettes again?"

Deng Chun quickly waved his hands and said, "No, I don't."

"He must be earning money to buy cigarettes. He also cheated me out of my pocket money, saying he was hungry and wanted to eat pork with scallions. But what happened? Mom, look how thin he is. Does he look like he eats pork with scallions every day?" Sandan said.

When Chen Lina heard this, she also felt that the problem was serious. "Deng Chun, let me ask you, where is the money?"

"I don't have any money," Deng Chun said. "I'm always hungry. I spend all my money on food, really."

Chen Lina looked at Sandan and said, "Ni Weijiang, where do you think he would hide the money?"

Sandan thought about it, then suddenly jumped up and ran, and Deng Chun followed him. They ran to the big bedroom, and then ran back, dragging and fighting all the way.

"Mom, there is really a lot of money. It is hidden in my second brother's stinky slippers. Look," said Sandan.

Well, the money didn't come, but the stench came first. Chen Lina blew her nose, pulled Deng Chun's ear and asked, "You have food and drink, I buy everything for you, and you help others write homework and you cheat Sandan out of money, Deng Chun, why do you hide so much money?"

"I, I want to pay the tuition when I go to college." Deng Chun's eyes suddenly turned red.

Chen Lina was helpless. "You go to college, won't your dad give you tuition? You are just a little kid, why are you so worried?"

Deng Chun shook his head, tears streaming down his face. "Deng Dongya must have forgotten me. It's been two years. You see, people from Hong Kong can come to the mining area, even my stepmother who fled the country can come, but he just won't come to see me."

After taking a deep breath, Chen Lina had no choice but to pick up Deng Chun again. "Your father is very busy."

"I know. I think he must have been so busy that he forgot about me. But it doesn't matter. I will save money to go to college by myself, and I will forget about him too." Deng Chun sniffed hard.

Chen Lina patted the two children and said, "Okay, I'll sleep with you two in the big bedroom tonight. Go wash your feet and face quickly."

She originally thought that the worker had to work overtime tonight and would not be home. She was sleeping soundly on the big kang when the worker woke her up.

"I didn't find you in the small bedroom, and then I got scared." said the worker.

Chen Lina lay down on the kang in the small bedroom and asked, "Why?"

"I heard that Li Rongjin is good at sweet talk and is good at teasing women. And it is said that you talked to him all day today." The worker asked cautiously, "How did the business negotiation go?"

Chen Lina stretched out her arms and rolled on the kang. "I have to tell you, Nie Gong, the business talks were not ideal, but Li Rongjin is a really good person. He is not what I imagined at all."

"What do you imagine it to be like?"

"He is lecherous, vulgar, slick and only cares about profit," said Chen Lina.

The worker then asked, "What is the truth?"

"He has a very clear and unique understanding of the current situation in Hong Kong and the Mainland, and he was clearly coerced by Deng Dongya into coming to our mining area.

However, the environment and conditions are so harsh that we may even have to put in all our efforts to have a big competition between capitalism and communism.

But Lee Young-jin is not like that. He has been patiently convincing me how to make money in a mutually beneficial and win-win way. "

Nie Gong paused for a long time and said, "Oh no, as expected, he is a man who can deceive women's hearts."

Sometimes, a man’s charm is not just about appearance. Not to mention money, knowledge, and upbringing, all aspects are very important.

"He kept saying sorry to me, and said that Xia Ying had been very well-behaved before going north. He didn't imagine that Xia Ying would bring a camera, nor did he think that she would have such difficulty adapting to the place where she once lived after arriving at the mining area. Because Xia Ying always told him that the only thing she had no regrets in her life was that she wanted to go back to the place where she once struggled, so he brought her here." Chen Lina then said.

"Xia Ying is not her true self in front of Li Rongjin, or in front of us, no, in front of anyone." Nie Gong sighed, "I can only say that life is like a play, and she is living in a play."

The next morning, Xia Ying formally informed Su Xiangdong that she had come from afar and wanted to visit his home.

But please note that Su Xiangdong should take good care of the hygiene at home because she can't stand the smell of bad smells.

Anna was about to move to the dormitory. She was furious when she heard this. "If you don't like the smell, don't come. What on earth does Xia Ying want to do?"

"Show how good you are. Show that you are living a better life than Su Xiangdong. Do you know what this means?" Chen Lina asked Anna.

Anna shook her head.

"It means that she has never let go of the past. She still loves Su Xiangdong, but her love is terrible, because she loves him but also constantly despises him. She has driven Su Xiangdong down the wrong path."

In order to prove himself, Su Xiangdong would spend money crazily and unscrupulously.

But no matter how much he saved, he could not compete with Lee Young-geum. After all, Lee Young-geum was a wealthy businessman who had been in the clothing business for generations.

Leng Qi was also anxious. He invited Chen Lina into the house and said, "Xiao Chen, you have seen more of the world than us. Tell me, can we impress Xia Ying with this standard?"

"No." Chen Lina said decisively, "This is just a drizzle. In fact, if Su Xiangdong really wants to hit Xia Ying, he must have a beautiful and generous wife and two cute and well-behaved children. His career is one thing, but no matter how much money he makes, a communist society cannot be like a capitalist society, because money gives him many privileges, and children and family happiness are what Xia Ying lacks most at the moment."

It was not that Chen Lina wanted to attack Xia Ying on purpose, but she keenly discovered that Xia Ying actually still had feelings for Su Xiangdong. So, it was necessary to give Su Xiangdong a happy home so that Xia Ying would fall in love with him after seeing it and give up from then on.

After all, Su Xiangdong has a lot of money in his hands, and we can't let him give it to the rich capitalist concubine.

Moreover, that capitalist tycoon is actually a man with broad mind and charm, who is willing to work hand in hand with socialism.

At this time, it is necessary to strike a blow against Xia Ying and make her give up and return to Hong Kong.

When Su Xiangdong heard that he was going to have a family, he was excited. "Xiao Chen, what do you think I should do?"

"Xia Ying, you don't know that you are still single, and you don't have a child, right?"

"Her impression of me should still be stuck in eight years ago, before she crossed the Hong Kong," said Su Xiangdong.

"That's right. Hurry up and find a beautiful woman from the mining area and have her pretend to be your wife. I will give you my satellite and let her be your lady for a day. You just need to show your love to your wife for a day, and I guarantee that Xia Ying's mind will be much clearer." Chen Lina said.

Nie Gong felt that this was not a good idea. "Xiao Chen, you should be more honest. Besides, where can we find a wife for Su Gong right now? Besides, will a satellite recognize someone else as its mother?"

"My Anna can do it." Leng Qi suddenly slapped his head and said, "I have given my home to Su Xiangdong, why can't Anna do it?"

He walked out of the house and came back, clapping his hands and saying, "I have a son and a daughter, and my wife is so beautiful. Su Xiangdong, I will give you my happy life for one day, okay?"

Anna stared at Leng Qi coldly and said, "Secretary Leng has given his wife away. It's just right, Su Xiangdong, let's sleep together tonight."

Leng Qi was frightened. "No, it's only during the day. How can my wife let anyone do that at night?"
