When I got home, the table was already full of food.

However, Dad was serious, just like he was when he was dancing at Erdan’s concert. Looking at the expression on his face, it looked like he wanted to kill someone.

"Dad, can I pour you a glass of water?" Wei Xing asked. Then he asked Wei Min, "Brother, I'll pour you a glass too."

After a while, the cooled warm water was brought over. Nie Gong picked it up and was about to drink it. Because he was too angry, he spilled some water. Nie Weixing wiped it away with his hand. "Dad, be careful."

Nie Gong said, "Didn't you hear that Hong Jinbu and his wife said that after you get married, each of you will have six months to cook for you two. I want to ask you, Nie Weimin, after all these years abroad, haven't you learned how to cook?"

"I can, but I don't want my mom to cook." Nie Weimin said innocently, "Besides, I am a non-marriageist. I only agreed to date Hong Jiu, but I didn't say I would marry her."

The worker then asked, "Why does the long-term recruitment agency say that?"

Chen Lina said, "Because I want to protect my daughter, when my daughter gets married in the future, I also hope that the man can cook. Forget about the mother-in-law. The man must be good to the daughter, unconditionally good, and listen to her in everything, really."

The little head of the satellite came over and said, "Mom, I will always be with you. I won't get married. I want to get married. Leng Feng will make my mother An and Uncle Leng mad to death."

Nie Weimin was extremely hungry and wanted to eat a lot of rice. Without saying anything, he took two bites of the salad and shouted, "I want to eat the crispy fried greens. I don't want to eat this."

Chen Lina said nothing. She got up and went to the backyard to pick a handful of beetroot seedlings, then fried them with minced garlic for him.

Well, the meat alone was enough for him to make. After wolfing it down, he threw up his hands and said, "We are really not at the stage of talking about marriage. I don't know why Hong Jiu's parents suddenly came here today. I don't even know if they are doing well in the mining area. They are too enthusiastic, so enthusiastic that I don't know what to do."

Chen Lina said, "Does that mean Hong Jiu is pregnant, and you two are going to get married with the baby?"

Nie Weimin's face turned red, and he was still chewing a mouthful of red roasted meat. "We just held hands at most, how can we get pregnant?"

He was actually scared inside.

After so many years, he never expected that when he went to the farm wearing the ugliest clothes and the most frightened look, he would meet Liu Xiaohong, a country girl who was the same as him, no, even more rustic than him.

Well, Nie Weimin hopes to delete that memory from Liu Xiaohong's mind. No matter how much it costs, he doesn't want Liu Xiaohong to remember his ugly appearance.

"Mom, my brother took me to the farm." Wei Xing whispered, "We also met Sister Xiaohong."

Chen Lina and Nie Gong looked at Nie Weimin in disbelief again. Nie Gong was so shocked that he was speechless.

Chen Lina directly said, "You are playing both sides, you are a scumbag, a real scumbag." As she said that, she kicked Nie Weimin.

The pig I raised turned into a scum pig.

Well, now not only Nie Gong despised him, Chen Lina also successfully began to despise Nie Weimin.

"What did I do to offend anyone, Mom? I just went to see Liu Xiaohong, so what? She has never written to me before."

"She was involved in a satellite launch project. Nowadays, the Soviets hijack American spacecraft and the Americans steal Soviet satellites from time to time. The aerospace industry itself is a particularly confidential industry. You cannot communicate with outsiders. Don't you know that?" Chen Lina said.

Nie Weimin said, "But He Junqiang knows everything about her, her unit, when she graduated, who her tutor is, everything. He Junqiang even said that she has a boyfriend."

"Then you should stop asking her. You are in love and your girlfriend is still at home. How can you rush to the farm in a hurry? " Chen Lina asked.

After a long pause, she said, "This child had a high emotional intelligence when he was young. What's wrong with him now?"

Nie Weimin did not argue. He finished his rice and said, "I'm full. You guys take your time. I'm going to go out and play for a while."

But just then, the phone on the desk rang.

Nie Weimin grabbed the phone, and Hong Jiu started to scold him on the phone. Nie Weimin was listening at first, but then he put the phone directly on the table and started to read a book.

His father had a lot of books, especially magazines, which he couldn't bear to buy because they were too expensive abroad. But when he saw so many books piled on his father's desk, he felt like he had found a treasure and started to open them.

Everyone could hear Hong Jiu's voice on the phone. "You don't respect me, my father, or my mother at all. We had agreed that I would not cook and you would cook, and the child would take my last name. Look at you, you changed your mind in the end..."

"I have never heard you say these things, Hong Jiu. You can't frame me with these false charges." Nie Weimin said.

Hong Jiu remembered it clearly. "I did say that. I said a lot, and you agreed to it very well at that time."

Nie Weimin grabbed his hair and hummed, because he really couldn't remember at all when Hong Jiu mentioned getting married. When they were in love, didn't they clearly agree to go to Dongfeng City together and be a revolutionary couple? It was such a simple thing, but now it has become a trouble for their families.

Nie Gong carried the bowl into the kitchen and saw Chen Lina and Wei Xing talking to each other in a low voice. He whispered, "I'm afraid I won't be able to help myself and beat Nie Weimin to death."

Chen Lina said, "Please be patient. Your daughter-in-law hasn't even come in yet."

"They count that onion."

"Have Huang Guilan and Huang Huacai ever fought against me? They couldn't. Why? Because I am the daughter-in-law. If I control the man, I control everything. Nie Gong, just pretend. It doesn't matter who Nie Weimin marries. If it's a frog, we just need to work hard to learn frog language."

Nie Weimin heard Hong Jiu constantly shouting "break up, break up" on the phone, and quickly said, "You deserve better. I am willing to break up. I am sorry for you, but I also think that breaking up is the right choice for us."

This scumbag got so excited after saying this that he ran out again.

Needless to say, as soon as I walked out the door and under the oil sculpture at Base No. 1, I ran into Liu Xiaohong again.

She was also riding a bicycle and stopped when she saw Nie Weimin.

Well, it's that very rustic outfit again. How come I bump into it again?

"It's been many years since we last met. He Junqiang said that you are in love. Are you married?" Nie Weimin originally wanted to beat around the bush, but what came out of his mouth were not roundabout words.

Liu Xiaohong shook her head. "How can we establish a family if the Huns are not destroyed? The United States and the Soviet Union both dominate space. If Project 714 fails, what kind of family can we establish? Haven't you seen how American airliners fly back and forth?"

"Their aviation technology is not without flaws. In short, they are playing with the lives of astronauts. Besides, manned space flight, does this have anything to do with you?"

"Yes, I am in charge of a small project there," said Liu Xiaohong.

Only now did Nie Weimin dare to confirm that Liu Xiaohong was really from Dongfeng City, and should be in the same department as him.

Oh my God, the key point is that she has no one. Well, I don’t want to think about whether she had dated Nie Weimin before. Anyway, she has no one now and is not married. He can finally confirm this.

At this time, Wang Fan's new wife got out of the car, stared at the two of them for a long time, and said to Wang Fan, "Look, another farm girl and boy are visiting our base."

When Nie Weimin saw what Liu Xiaohong was wearing, and when Liu Xiaohong saw what Nie Weimin was wearing, they both laughed.

The satellite development project has a five-year phase. Participants will suffer pain that ordinary people cannot endure, be far away from their families, and take root in the factory area and the Gobi Desert.

Of course, that kind of confidentiality work must be done very, very thoroughly. They will be monitored by the security department and are not allowed to leave the factory except on holidays. Even on holidays, they can only go for a stroll in the city at most and are not allowed to contact anyone outside.

It is a project of paramount importance to the Republic.

The Cold War has not yet ended, and the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, still dominate the space. These young children of the Republic are the warriors standing at the forefront of this era, on the front line.

The battlefield is the space domain.

"He Junqiang is a traitor. I'm glad that you, Nie Weimin, are back." Liu Xiaohong shook Nie Weimin's hand and said, "We are members of the same organization now. Come on, I have some newly picked bean sprouts and chicken oil fir. You like them, don't you? Let your aunt cook them for you."

Nie Weimin nodded, picked up the little bean sprout and said, "Let's go."

"Leader, we really don't plan to work in the system anymore. Sixty yuan a month is not enough to support our family. We want to quit. I have already thought about it. We can set up a stall and work on our own. It will be no problem to earn two or three hundred yuan a month."

In the office, a group of people surrounded Chen Lina, talking at once, all of them coming to resign.

"However, the advantage of the system is that when you retire, you will have a pension and the government will guarantee your retirement. Going out to work may seem to have a high income now, but it may not be the case in the future. It is very hard to get up early and work as a street vendor," said Chen Lina.

Everyone looked at each other and said, "We won't blame the leaders when the time comes. Anyway, we are going out now and have some fun. What if we can get rich?"

Chen Lina then said, "How about this, each of you will get an extra month's salary, and I will give you a one-year unpaid leave. If you really don't do well, you can come back. If you do well, I wish you all the best."

Taking a leave of absence from work and then going out to explore the world will become a mainstream from now on.

Some of those who left became wealthy, while others fell into poverty. However, they were willing to do so and no one could say anything about it.

Chen Lina rubbed her brows, thinking about where to get the 100,000 yuan to acquire the wool textile factory. Su Xiangnan came in and said, "Leader, most shopping malls now generally reflect that our clothing brand is too expensive, and it's all in English. No one knows it, and the sales volume is not good. What should we do?"

Chen Lina was playing with a pen and thinking.

The brand she created is indeed a bit ahead of its time now, but if it weren’t, the price wouldn’t be high enough.

Chen Lina never thought about making cheap clothing and earning meager profits. If she wanted to do something, she wanted to make high-end women's clothing with good profits and the opportunity to enter the international market in the future.

"It's okay. We still have 300,000 in the account. We can wait for two years and wait for Playboy and Pierre Cardin to enter the country. Then we can sell our products." Chen Lina said.

The only thing she was worried about now was the two woolen textile factories with two thousand female workers, who would be bought out by Su Xiangdong, and he had to persuade all of them to leave.

Nowadays, everyone is stupid, thinking that they can make a lot of money by going into the sea. But it is not so easy to make a lot of money by going into the sea and setting up a stall.

By then, mothers will no longer have stable jobs, and the children will probably be running around wandering around again because they have no jobs.

"How about I sell my house in Shanghai, which should give me tens of thousands of yuan?" Su Xiangnan said, "Or I can go to my brother's house and steal some money, so we can use it urgently."

Chen Lina shook her head. "If you have money, you can buy a few more houses. Forget about selling the house. You absolutely cannot do that. As for stealing, be careful or your brother will break your legs. We are gentlemen and we don't steal money."

Su Xiangnan stood for a while and complained, "Buy a house, buy a house. I've bought eight houses by following your advice. I haven't even worn a good piece of clothing in these years. Really, if the value of the house doesn't increase in the future, General Manager, I'll just stay at your house and eat."

Not only Su Xiangnan is the homeowner, Chen Tiantian is also a small homeowner.

Chen Lina encouraged them to buy houses when they made money and not to spend money recklessly. Ren Tiantian now has several houses in Beijing. Chen Lina herself did not have such a hobby. First, Erdan was too generous with his money, and second, the Nie Gong family had enough houses and there was no need to buy more.

Just as she was worrying, her pager rang again.

I called and it was Hong Jinbu who said, "Xiao Chen, Nie Gong refused to answer my call. Here's the thing. Can you and your family come to Uru? I'm going to Beijing soon. Let's have a quick meal together."

Chen Lina guessed that the worker was angry because Jiu Zhaonan was too arrogant and refused to answer his call. She also declined by saying, "We are all very busy. Let's get together again when we are free. We won't go this time."

"You must come. Gao Feng rarely comes back and he's here too. He really wants to see you. Come quickly." After saying that, Hong Jinbu hung up the phone.

In his last life, Gao Feng stayed in the autonomous region. In this life, he went to Beijing. It is certainly impossible to say that there was no influence of Chen Lina.

Chen Lina's eyes suddenly lit up. Yes, she said she was dissatisfied with Su Xiangdong's acquisition of the woolen textile factory. She could let Gao Feng put pressure on him. Why did he want to acquire all the industries in the mining area as if he was just buying?

As soon as she thought of it, Chen Lina took action immediately.

Nie Gong was on the phone with Nie Weiguo. "Why haven't you asked for food allowance in the past two months? Have you eaten anything recently?"

Erdan was optimistic on the phone, "Dad, I'll be back in two months. Besides, my scholarship has already been issued, fifty pounds, which will last me two months if I save. I really don't need your money."

The worker then asked, "When will you be back?"

Every time I look at the photo and see how skinny the child is, I feel heartbroken. I don’t know what the child eats outside to make him so skinny.

Erdan said, "I will come back after I get my degree certificate. Don't worry about me. It will only take half a month at most, really."

Nie Weiguo was also eager to return home. As a republican

Moreover, the gang would always say, "I'll give you 5,000 yuan first, we'll sign the contract, and then I'll give you a ranking list at the Workers' Stadium, and you'll have a performance on stage, and then I'll help you release a tape, how about that?"

Remember what my father said, the Eighth Route Army would not take a single needle or thread from the masses, and Erdan would never compromise with anyone even if he had to wash dishes five days a week.

After all, as a child of the Nie family, he should have some backbone.

"Wei Min, Hong Jinbu invited us to dinner, you don't want to talk about marriage, right?" Nie Gong was worried.

Nie Weimin was also confused. "Hong Jiu announced his breakup with me last night. I guess he was going back to say goodbye."

"Nie Weimin, falling in love is not that simple. Let me ask you, have you ever slept with a girl? If you have, it is impossible for her to agree to break up so easily." Chen Lina said.

Nie Weimin was still wearing his old sportswear from Petroleum Middle School. "No matter how many times do I have to tell you, no, I really don't. Besides, in the West, people are free to fall in love. Isn't it normal to fall in love or break up?"

"This is the East, not the West. Falling in love and getting married is a lifelong thing. Nie Weimin, you must take this issue seriously," said Nie Gong.

Nie Weimin thought about it and said, "Then I'll go. At most, their whole family will scold me once, and I'll just listen."

He thought about it, and when he was a child, he wanted to marry Liu Xiaohong, and he planned the marriage very seriously. Later, he heard that Liu Xiaohong was in love, and then he thought about how he disliked her because she raised smelly pigs and always asked her to wash his smelly socks. In his case, he just wanted to be intimate with her.

But as for Liu Xiaohong, she must be very disgusted and even hate her own behavior.

Of course, this is also what He Junqiang told Nie Weimin.

He said, "Do you think you are a romantic? Do you know that Liu Xiaohong was willing to be your child bride only because her whole family had to curry favor with your mother? She actually hated your ways, otherwise why didn't she contact you after you went to college?"

From then on, Nie Weimin stopped taking anyone seriously because he kept doubting whether his sincerity was used inappropriately. He seemed arrogant, but in fact he was extremely inferior, sensitive and at a loss. This was Nie's current mentality.

After picking up Nie Weixing at the school gate, Nie Gong and his family had to run to Ulu for a meal.

After all, Miss Hong Jiu was still quite cute. She had a talk with Nie Weimin, and Nie Weimin went to admit his mistake to her and officially announced their breakup. This would not hurt the relationship between the old classmates, right?

He drove out of the house and was driving along when Nie Weimin suddenly rushed and went around a large bus. He then started to slow down, twisted around, and finally forced the bus to stop.

Chen Lina saw this from behind and whispered to the worker, "Your son has become so obsessed with women that he has forgotten his principles."

When the worker saw a young lady getting off the bus, wearing a white shirt and jeans, with fair skin and big eyes, he sighed heavily, held Chen Lina's hand and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to have a heart attack."

Wei Xing was sitting on the other side of her father. She had already reached out her hand. With one hand, she was holding a cup and pouring tea made of dates and wolfberries for the worker. With the other hand, she was patting his chest gently. "Don't be angry. Being angry is a waste of energy. Close your eyes. I'll pat your chest for you."

Back then, Miss Chen was surrounded by handsome young men.

In recent years, the handsome young men have grown up and have all flown away.

The workers were lucky. Wherever they went, they had a cute and obedient young lady on their left and a young and beautiful wife on their right. Everyone in the mining area was envious of them.

"Aunt, your whole family is going to Uru too." Liu Xiaohong got in the car and sat in the passenger seat.

Nie Weimin drove two steps, suddenly stopped the car, and reached out his hand.

Nie Gong took a deep breath and was about to say Nie Weimin, be careful of the impact in front of so many people.

Chen Lina whispered, "Oh my god, my security guard is so handsome, he's such a good boyfriend." This is how a good boyfriend should fasten his girlfriend's seat belt.

The worker said, "There is another one in Uru."

"Didn't they announce their breakup? It's fun to see your son fall in love. You can just watch the show with peace of mind," said Chen Lina.

"Then he should at least calm down. In ancient times, when a man died, he had to observe mourning for a year. Even if he really broke up with Hong Jiu, he should at least calm down for a while before falling in love again." Nie Gong said.

Chen Lina also thought so, and so she once again despised Nie Weimin as a "scumbag."

So, there were three 100-watt light bulbs sitting in the back, and Nie Weimin had no idea what to say.

Just ask, "What are you doing in Ulu?"

Liu Xiaohong said, "Uncle He has a heart attack and is in the Ulu Hospital. No one is taking care of him. He called me and asked me to go and see him."

"It must be rare for you to have a vacation. Uncle He has a heart attack because of the sin committed by He Junqiang of his family. Why should you go and serve him?" Nie Weimin said.

Liu Xiaohong said, "But after all, he is a pitiful person. I have known my father for a long time and he is alone. I will just go and take care of him. It's nothing."

"I'll take you back to the farm tonight. By the way, could you please tell me what your job is? I might start working in July, and I'm still clueless at the moment."

Liu Xiaohong shook her head. "It's not convenient. Besides, Nie Weimin, can we not talk about this? Your behavior is not in line with the style of our Dongfeng people. Don't be curious about the other person's work, and don't ask about anything. You are an international student who returned from the United States, and the most powerful enemy in our space is the Americans."

Nie Weimin immediately laughed, "You know, I've always liked your purity."

Pure like a diamond, it can withstand the burning of fire and the tempering of ice.

In comparison, Nie Weimin's own willpower is absolutely not as strong as Liu Xiaohong's. After all, he has been shaken before.

The little girl who used to be bullied as she pleased, now Nie Weimin has to look up to her.

"I'm very proud because it seems that the girl I like has charmed your son." Chen Lina, who was sitting in the back, suddenly said, "Nian Gong, didn't you notice that your son looks very serious?"

Xiao Nie, who has never gotten over the incident since returning to China, now has an expression on his face as if he just realized what he was doing.
