Chapter 227
Ceremonial feeling
In the evening, Nie Weimin and Chen Tiantian ran out of the house. Weimin rode a bicycle and took Tiantian with him, and the two ran to the bank of the Baiyang River.
"Now my mother is forcing me to get married, but I don't want to. But this is not important. Wei Min, do you still remember that Youbu?" Chen Tiantian said.
Nie Weimin certainly remembered, "Didn't I warn him not to bother you anymore? And hasn't he been away from the mining area for the past two years?"
"Yes, he stopped pestering me, but Wei Min called me the day before yesterday and said, 'Do you know about the explosion in Yangshan, Sichuan? If you don't come to me, there will be another explosion like that in the mining area.'"
"Where is Yub now?"
"He said he was in Shanghai, and he asked me to quit my job and come find him," said Chen Tiantian.
After a pause, she continued, "Wei Min, I don't want to get married, and I don't want to give up my job. Of course, even if I want to get married, I won't marry someone like Youbu. I was foolish and young at the time, so I followed him. This is really like a yoke to me. I got involved with such a dog-skin plaster, and I really can't take it off. But if I really want to strangle him to death, the policy does not allow it."
Nie Weimin said, "Do you want me to find a way to put him in jail?"
"Aren't you afraid that your dad will find out and put you in jail?" Chen Tiantian asked back.
Nie Weimin had provoked enemies and put Wang Xiaobing in jail, but he himself almost had a criminal record.
"I have to study abroad, on a government-sponsored basis. I won't mention my criminal record, as my entire family has been investigated by the organization for 18 generations." Nie Weimin waved his hands, but then added, "There is always a way. Shanghai, right? If not, I'll go to Shanghai during the summer vacation. You just go home and wait for me."
Chen Tiantian turned around to leave, and Nie Weimin suddenly threw a stone at her, "You know I'm going to study abroad, right?"
"I know, Dadan, have a safe trip." Tiantian said.
Nie Weimin pointed at her nose and said, "Don't get carried away and find a man to marry before I come back. I'll tell you the truth, there is no girl in this mining area that I like, really."
Although my own girl is ugly, the boys are even worse. Nie Weimin is really something. No one is worthy of Chen Tiantian.
However, since Youbu is in Shanghai, Nie Weimin has to worry about one thing, that is, is he still in contact with Su Xiangdong?
Two years ago, the mining area carried out a large-scale crackdown. All the oil thieves and small-time hooligans who could be recruited were recruited, and those who could be reformed through labor were also reformed through labor. However, a large number of them still escaped from the mining area.
And Yub is one of them.
Chen Lina kept saying that Youbu was able to escape because Su Xiangdong had tipped him off. And now, Youbu is in Su Xiangdong's old nest, Shanghai.
When I got home, the worker was not there, and neither was Chen Lina. Only a few kids were at home fiddling with the TV.
Erdan was tying the signal pole, Sandan was searching for TV stations, and Deng Chun was directing where to search for TV stations. They were having a lot of fun.
"There's someone on TV!" his sister yelled. Erdan, holding the signal pole high in one hand, breathed a sigh of relief and slightly deviated in the direction. Sandan yelled again, "Oh no, there's no one, there's no one again."
Erdan then stood on the roof and raised the TV pole a little higher. "Got it? Got it?"
"Yes, yes." Sandan said loudly, "Brother, don't move anymore, or it will be gone again."
"What TV series is this with such exciting music?" Erdan asked loudly.
Sandan said, "Eighteen Years in the Enemy Camp, brother, please don't move."
Not to mention Erdan, the moneyman next door was also holding a antenna pole and searching for the station.
"Where's Dad? Where's Mom?" Nie Weimin asked.
Deng Chun waved his hand and said, "Don't mention it. He said he's going out to travel alone today and will be back tomorrow."
Nie Weimin thought to himself, what's the point of traveling to the mining area? His parents are becoming more and more creative as they get older.
However, it seems that Chen Lina has her birthday today, and it is understandable that her parents want to go out for a trip alone, so Nie Weimin said, "Nie Weiguo, get off me."
"When I came down, the TV was off," said Erdan.
Nie Weimin turned around and went to the woods behind, cut down a tree of similar size, and when he came back he cut it down a bit, compared it, climbed up himself, aligned the direction and listened with his ear, and when he felt it was almost right, he tied the antenna to the top and stacked a few bricks underneath to secure it. Hey, the signal became stable all of a sudden, and the TV stopped flickering.
"Brother, how come you can find the signal without raising your hand to try?" Deng Chun was puzzled.
Nie Weimin was washing his hands and said, "Radio waves can be heard. Can't you hear them?"
It would be strange if Deng Chun could hear it.
The worker brought Miss Chen to Uru.
In fact, tonight, the leaders of the autonomous region will watch a movie from Romania called "Sweet Game" together.
Romania also practices international communism, so many of their films have been translated into Romania. Since it is a romance film, Nie Gong specifically requested two copies of the film and prepared to go and watch it.
"Am I beautiful?" Miss Chen touched the crystal necklace on her chest and asked the worker as she was about to get off the car.
The worker examined her carefully for a long time, tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear, and then said, "Very beautiful, really."
Well, under the pressure of tyranny, when my wife asks me whether I am pretty or not, unless a man doesn't want to live anymore, he will of course say yes.
But Ye Gong is different from others. His special sense of formality makes you feel that he appreciates it seriously and makes conclusions only after careful review.
Most of the current leaders in the mining area came from Umayyad, such as Secretary A.
Another example is Gao Feng. Hong Jinbu now works in the Public Security Bureau. He is Nie Gong’s college classmate. However, Chen Lina has always heard of him but has never met him.
"The state sends children to study abroad. These children of ours can be said to be shouldering the mission of the party and the country."
The movie hadn't started yet, and Secretary Ah was quietly chatting with Hong Jinbu, Nie Gong, and He Min. He patted Nie Gong's hand and said, "Especially Wei Min. You know how important he is to our country. We must do a good job of ideological work. If they dare to stay abroad and not come back, it will be a huge loss to our country."
Don’t watch a movie that is only screened in a small area. However, those who can come to watch it are all core leaders of the mining area’s leadership team.
The reason why He Min was able to get in was because his son was one of the three international students in the mining area.
"My daughter Hong Jiu is a girl, the best and most obedient one. She will definitely not do such a thing as going abroad with the state subsidy and then forgetting her relatives once she goes abroad." Hong Jinbu said hurriedly.
He Min also said, "Jun Qiang is even less capable. My old father is still in the mining area, waiting for him to contribute to the construction of the Republic. But Nie Gong, your family's guards have always been smart and powerful. He is leaving, will he come back?"
There are a large number of students who go abroad to study at public expense and then suddenly start speaking for capitalism, accusing the Republic, current politics, and criticizing the Republic.
Nowadays, too many people stop recognizing their ancestors after going abroad.
Of course, some people do well abroad, while others do not. In the final analysis, they are taking advantage of the Republic. As for the country, as the song says, it is like a mother. When it comes to such a rebellious son, it can only smile bitterly and shake its head and swallow the grievance itself.
Nie Gong is a researcher, and he speaks with evidence, because he doesn't know whether such a thing will really happen, so he doesn't dare to brag.
At this time, many leaders focused their attention on the workers and just watched.
If Nie Weimin were to study abroad and then stay there without returning, it would be like the country giving capitalism a nuclear warhead for nothing.
Chen Lina said, "Don't worry, even if you all surrender to capitalism, my Weimin will come back. Why do the children who stay there stay? Because they have no opinions and just follow what others say. They hear people say that foreign countries are good and foreign shit smells good, so they also think that foreign countries are good and foreign shit smells good. My Weimin has chosen his own university since he was a child. Is he the kind of person who can be fooled?"
To be honest, Chen Lina has always been good at persuading people, but until now, she has not been able to convince Nie Weimin, let alone others.
While watching a movie, He Lanshan chased the worker away and sat next to Chen Lina. "Do you know that my Xiao Bing is dating the boy from Hu Xuanang's family?" Then, he pouted and pointed at Chen Lina's nose. She said, "Your Weimin, it's too late to regret now."
"Isn't that good?" Chen Lina said.
He Lanshan also thought it was a good idea. "I have planned it all. When Li Mingcheng graduates, I will arrange a job for him in the mining area. He will start as an office clerk and I will be watching him. When my daughter Xiaobing comes back from her overseas studies, we will get married."
After hearing this, Chen Lina felt that something was not very good.
Because Erdan and Li Mingcheng are determined to form a band in the future. If you ask Li Mingcheng to be a clerk, it would be strange if he is willing to do it.
He Lanshan is a straightforward and protective person, and he truly treats Chen Lina as a close friend.
Chen Lina is turning 30 today. She originally wanted to enjoy a romantic love story between two farmers under international communism, but ended up listening to He Lanshan's talk about his own children and future plans.
At night, visitors from other places were hosted by the autonomous region and had to stay overnight in the newly built guesthouse.
Hong Jinbu and Nie Gong are old classmates, and his daughter Hong Jiu, not only got into a very good school, but was also one of the many people who went abroad to study.
He didn't have much tact and didn't notice that the worker's wife was dressed so beautifully. And today was Chen Lina's birthday, and the couple needed to have a very in-depth communication tonight, so he dragged the worker away to chat and drink tea.
Chen Lina ran out to celebrate her birthday. She chatted with He Lanshan in the cinema for half the night. Now she was lying on the bed in the hotel. No matter how pretty Xiang Lian was, there was a time when she could only admire her enough. Lying on the bed, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Hong Jinbu was tactless and she kept cursing him in her heart.
Hey, at this moment, a phone call came in, looking for her.
"Hello, my name is Ji Chaoqun. I wonder if you know me?" The call was from a woman.
Ji Chaoqun?
Chen Lina was stunned for a long time, and couldn't remember any of her clients, or acquaintances, with that name. She said coldly, "You've dialed the wrong number," and hung up the phone.
After a while, the phone rang again. "I'm Ji Chaoqun, Comrade Chen Lina, can you please stop hanging up so often?"
"I don't know you. Do you want cloth or clothes? There are special sales staff to discuss these matters with you. What's the big deal about calling the hotel in the middle of the night?"
This is the downside of having a big business. Many people often call her everywhere to discuss business with her.
"I'm Deng Chun's mother. Just tell him that his family is in ruins and is falling apart. Ask him to come back soon?" said the woman on the phone.
Chen Lina was really confused. It was such a long circle that she finally came to her senses. "Oh, Xiao Ji, why don't you just say that you are Deng Dongya's lover? It's like this. I don't care whether I return the child or not. Let me say a few words to you first. Do you know what size clothes he wears now? Do you know what size shoes he wears? Also, we sent this child here. When he came, there was no parent. In three years, you have never called me to ask for the child. Now you tell me to send him back to you. Who are you? You think you are great just because you are the wife of a leader. Then I have to tell you that if you are Deng Chun's mother, you should come to the mining area to pick up the child yourself. If you are the wife of a leader, you should call me during working hours and use your authority to pressure me. Otherwise, I will not accompany you."
With a bang, Chen Lina hung up the phone.
To be honest, Chen Lina has been a stepmother for four years and she knows that once a woman marries a man and they fall in love, it is difficult for her to like the children the man has with his previous wife.
However, Ji Chaoqun, the stepmother, gave the child away three years ago without making a phone call or asking about the child. She even never tried to reconcile the conflict between herself and the child.
Now with just one phone call, she is asked to send the child back. Is she used to being high and mighty as the wife of a leader, or does she think Deng Chun is a dog who can be given away or taken back just as she is told?
The worker finally came back. Miss Chen was originally wearing a beautiful skirt today, but now she has taken it off and is lying on the bed in only her underwear.
I don't know how much that set of underwear cost, but the figure outlined by the underwear was enough to make the worker, who hadn't seen any meat for two months, get blood boiling.
He just came home and he ran out and even booked a hotel. He just wanted to have a good time and have a good time.
Miss Chen deliberately teased him by rubbing her legs against each other gently. The worker accidentally tore off the buttons of his shirt and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
As a result, when the worker finished showering and came out, another phone call came.
"Lina, it's me, Dongya."
"Who cares? I don't have time now. Call me tomorrow." Miss Chen said and hung up the phone.
As soon as she hung up, the phone rang again. "Lina, this is an extremely urgent matter. It's about Deng Chun..."
Before Chen Lina could say anything, the worker snatched the phone away and asked, "Deng Dongya, is that you?"
"Yes, yes, laborer, I didn't expect you to return to the mine so soon?"
"Look at what time it is now. Aren't you going to have sex? Let me ask you." This time, he hung up and Deng Dongya never called again.
The next morning, Hong Jinbu got up early and called the worker out for breakfast.
Chen Lina had a good sleep and only when she woke up did she remember what happened yesterday.
Last night, the worker yelled at him, and his wife, Xiao Ji, seemed to be crying when she called. Does this mean that there is a problem in their relationship?
Deng Chun is their son, and it is normal for them to want to go back and raise him.
But what is abnormal is that except for a phone call on New Year's Eve, there has been almost no contact between them for four years, but now they are calling the child back in a hurry.
After much thought, Chen Lina, with her woman's sensitivity, still felt that there was probably something wrong with the relationship between Deng Dongya and his wife.
Taking out the small phone book and flipping through it, Chen Lina called and asked, "Is this Ji Huaishan? How have you been recently? Are you having a good time again?"
Upon hearing that it was quite lively over there, Chen Lina came straight to the point and greeted them like this.
Ji Huaishan didn't know what was going on, the phone suddenly went silent. "How could that be, Commander? This is my office number. Some of my comrades were bragging to me in the office. But, this has nothing to do with a life of debauchery. I remember your instructions and I haven't even dared to drink, really."
"Didn't you go back to Shanghai for the Chinese New Year this year? Did you hear Xiao Ji mention Deng Chun? Deng Dongya suddenly asked Deng Chun to return to Shanghai, so I wanted to ask, what is going on?" Chen Lina said.
Ji Huaishan was silent for a while, then said, "There seems to be a problem between Deng Dongya and Chaoqun. Do you know?"
"Ah, he's a leader, so you don't have to tell me that he's having an affair, right?" Chen Lina said.
Ji Huaishan whispered, "I can't say this, but Xiao Ji firmly believes that Dongya has someone else outside, and it is the kind of extramarital affair that is truly in love and cannot be shaken off."
So, there was a crisis in the relationship between Deng Dongya and his wife, and they called Deng Chun back. Was it to watch them quarrel, or did they want to stage a divorce battle?
