Chapter 245
The evidence is gone
In the end, Nie Weimin chose to listen to his father and calm down for a while.
Coincidentally, in mid-May, the school called and asked him to return to school.
He left the mine.
Just when Nie Weimin was about to go back to the mining area, Wu Lu called and said that Chen Lina must be invited over to discuss the matter of the two children.
When Chen Lina answered the phone, she was urging Liu Xiaohong to take pictures of her clothes.
Models are so important. Liu Xiaohong is cheap anyway, so why not use her? If we don't let her take pictures, isn't that a waste of resources?
"Aunt, if no one accompanies you to Uru, shall I go with you?" said Liu Xiaohong.
Chen Lina just told Hong Jinbu tactfully on the phone that Nie Weimin didn't seem to have any intention of reconciliation, so he should just let it go and stop trying.
But Hong Jinbu insisted on asking her to go. She was worried, so she said, "To tell you the truth, the other party is Wei Min's original girlfriend. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to go."
"Hong Jiu, I know him. We lived in the same dormitory for three days during the military training in Wulu." Liu Xiaohong said, "It's okay, let's go together."
Brutal military training. In fact, Hong Jiu didn't even take the exam. She didn't even line up for the military training because of her father. She only took a photo with everyone during the initial training and when they said goodbye at the end.
But she got full marks in her military training, and Liu Xiaohong remembered it clearly.
Although she only stayed for two nights, Hong Jiulian didn't even know how to fold her quilt herself. Instead, a female orderly came to fold the quilt for her, which shows how much she prided herself.
Liu Xiaohong went back home, and then Chen Lina took her and the two of them rushed to Uru.
At Hong Jinbu's house, Hong Jiu was quarreling with her mother.
"Why should I get engaged to Nie Weimin? I won't unless he kneels down and begs me," said Hong Jiu.
Hong Jinbu said, "I have already sent out the petitions. My classmates from all over the world will come. If you say you don't want to order, then where will I put my face?"
"You guys did this yourself. Go tell your classmates about it. I don't care. I just know that Nie Weimin has no sincerity at all. I said I wanted to break up with him, so he should have knelt down in front of our house for half the night with flowers and chocolates, begging for my forgiveness. But he didn't. I haven't heard from him since."
Chen Lina said, "He went to Beijing. Besides, Weimin has a bad temper. If you ask him to kneel down in front of your house holding flowers, he will find it embarrassing, really."
Hong Jinbu said to Chen Lina, "Don't argue with a child's thoughts. Please persuade him to come back and let them get engaged, okay?"
Jiu Zhaonan was no longer as arrogant as before. "I was wrong to ask you to cook. It's just that the child has a different last name. We only have this one daughter. To be honest, Jinbu has saved a lot of money over the years. In the end, it's not all Weimin and Jiuer's. By the way, I heard that your business is in trouble recently. Do you want me to help you?"
"How much money can you civil servants make? My company is short of hundreds of thousands of dollars in funds," said Chen Lina.
Jiu Zhaonan said calmly, "That's not certain. Maybe I can help you. However, if I help you, Hong Jiu will have to take a stake in your company. This is a must."
Chen Lina smiled flawlessly, "It's okay, I can get through it."
But she felt that Jiu Zhaonan's tone was a bit too arrogant, as he dared to respond with words worth hundreds of thousands.
"As for Weimin, he has been a bad boy since he was young. He can help me light the fire and chop wood, but that requires him to be happy. If he is not happy, he will not do anything. I know my son well. You said to let him coax the girl, but he really doesn't want to. He is a person who cares about face." Chen Lina started her trick again, "Why don't you two break up? My stinky boy is really not worthy of such a good girl like Hong Jiu, really."
Hong Jiu didn't know how to explain, "Mom, what I want is a man who can tolerate me, love me, cook for me, and bring me water when I want to drink water. He will hold me in his arms and gently coax me to sleep at night. Nie Weimin is obviously not that. Please stop glorifying him."
"Not only will he not cook for you, he is extremely picky and requires you to eat as soon as you get home. If you don't cook well, he will get angry with you. Even if he doesn't get angry, he will go into a cold war with you for four or five days. He gets angry at the slightest provocation and never discusses things with others," said Chen Lina.
Hong Jiu nodded immediately and said, "Auntie, you are absolutely right. Nie Weimin is totally inconsiderate."
"It's just a stinky frog, and the filthiest one at that. Can we just throw it away?" Chen Lina asked.
Hong Jiu stared at her mother fiercely, not daring to say no, but raised a harsh request: "Unless he can promise to spoil me forever after marriage, cook for me every day, coax me to sleep every day, wake me up gently in the morning, and bring breakfast to the table, no matter what conflicts we have, he will unconditionally submit to me, then I will be engaged to him."
As she spoke, Jiu Zhaonan nodded, "These requests are not excessive. Our property will all belong to Nie Weimin in the future. He must give Jiuer the best of everything."
Chen Lina rubbed her temples and said, "My son has not been well educated. I don't think he can do it, really."
Jiu Zhaonan made Chen Lina so angry that she said, "Xiao Chen, no matter how young you are, you are still a mother-in-law. Can you please stop being like this? What you should do now is to persuade your Weimin to be nicer to my Xiaojiu after he gets married. You always say that your son is not good, which makes me very angry, because if your son is not well educated, it is your fault."
Chen Lina spread her hands and said, "I thought I just raised him, and I really didn't think about teaching him how to be a qualified husband."
"Washing clothes, cooking, cleaning, these are all jobs if you really start a family. If you go to Dongfeng City, you can't bring your aunt with you. There will be no one to help you do these things. You'd better discuss who should do these things." Liu Xiaohong suddenly said.
Hong Jiu nodded vigorously. "I have an aunt who does sanitation abroad. If we really live in a world of two, I won't do these things anyway. If the sanitation worker doesn't do it, then what's the point of getting married? No."
"Your father wants to invite so many people. I don't think you dare to make trouble for me."
"What Hong Jiu needs is a man who can understand her, be considerate of her, and pamper her. Obviously Nie Weimin is not that. He has been good at studying since he was young, and his parents are used to him. He is as proud as a little peacock. There is only himself in his world, and he still needs someone to pamper him. How can he possibly pamper others?" Liu Xiaohong continued.
Hong Jiu nodded resolutely, "Yes, yes."
"Who is this woman, Chen Lina? Why did you bring her here?" Jiu Zhaonan said.
Chen Lina explained expressionlessly, "She is the daughter of my eldest sister."
"In fact, a Western man who truly understands gentlemanly manners, or a Westernized gay man, is more suitable for you. You can listen to your parents, but happiness is always in your own hands," Liu Xiaohong said to Hong Jiu.
Hong Jiu, his love affair with Nie Weimin was really mostly due to his parents' encouragement and courage, but now he has begun to back off and nodded repeatedly.
When Jiu Zhaonan saw that his daughter did not accept his proposal, he became furious and said, "Without our efforts, Nie Weimin will have to endure the rest of his life at the grassroots level. We will not get engaged."
Liu Xiaohong said, "I'm sorry, Nie Weimin will indeed stay in Dongfeng City for the rest of his life, but Auntie, are you sure Uncle Hong can have a say in Dongfeng City's promotions and appointments?"
The man who had been recruited for a long time didn't care about his face anymore. "Why can't he get involved? As long as we want to intervene, he will never be able to make a name for himself in his life."
"We are scientific researchers. You can interfere with the promotions of people in the ordinary system, but can you interfere with our scientific research?" Liu Xiaohong asked again.
Hong Jinbu couldn't stop Jiu Zhaonan from talking. She said, "Why not? If I want to interfere, I will find many ways to do it. I will make Nie Weimin unsuccessful in his life."
"Auntie, if you say you said this because you were angry, that's fine, but if you say you really meant it, then I'm sorry..." Liu Xiaohong took out a recorder from her bag, waved it in her hand, and said, "If there are any organizational problems in the work of our working group, I will pass this recording directly to the upper leadership through the leader."
"Young comrade, your aunt was just joking. You can't take this recorder with you. Leave it here." After all, Hong Jinbu had been in the public security system. Suddenly, he realized the seriousness of the problem.
Liu Xiaohong handed the recorder to Hong Jinbu, but at the same time said, "Uncle, this can be destroyed. I have another copy with the same frequency. You don't know where I hide it."
Hong Jin was breathless, holding the recorder, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.
Satellite launches and manned space flight are major projects that are being promoted with the whole country's strength. However, if there are villains who really want to create even the slightest obstruction, the Dongfeng people will not let them go.
Regardless of whether they are smart or ignorant, or high in power, once they have such thoughts, they are going against the entire state machine.
Chen Lina also said, "Minister Hong, I also think that what your family lacks is not a son-in-law, but the most basic qualities. You are in a high position of power, and your children are in love. It is obviously because you have been putting pressure on Hong Jiu. Of course, my Wei Min also has his own faults.
But no matter what, the two kids just held hands at most, and you want to interfere with his future because of this. Let me tell you the truth, Nie Gong is not without connections, and you all know whose student he is. Wei Min is also a child known by many people, so please take care of yourself. "
Hong Jinbu and his wife looked at each other. What kind of a mess was this? They not only failed to steal the sheep but also got into trouble.
I thought there was nothing to be afraid of since Chen Lina resigned from her public office, but now, people are directly bringing up the big leader.
When the two of them came out of Hong Jinbu's house, Chen Lina got in the car and said, "Liu Xiaohong, you are really good. You even have a recorder."
"Minister Hong is not an ordinary Aunt Chen. He used to be in charge of the Tarim Prison and worked in the Public Security Bureau of the Autonomous Region for such a long time. Now he is in such a high position. Wei Min has offended his daughter and he doesn't want to marry her. How could he let him go so easily?" Liu Xiaohong said, holding up another recorder.
Chen Lina patted the girl on the shoulder and said, "Girl, you are really a talented person. But you are a little too infatuated with Nie Weimin. He doesn't deserve your kindness."
Nie Weimin came to the Umayyad mining area from Beijing. As soon as he got off the plane, he saw a girl standing in the airport lobby.
Her hair was curled and draped over her shoulders, and she was wearing a floral dress that looked very familiar to him. It was obvious that she was waiting for him.
He always remembered that Liu Xiaohong looked like this, and it seemed like he had seen her somewhere before.
Oh, yes, that was when Chen Lina was working on the farm. After a social gathering, he woke up in the wet white mist early the next morning. She was wearing a skirt like this and gave him a bouquet of flowers on the misty grass.
Liu Xiaohong took a deep breath and said, "What we want is the purest, most simple person who has no doubts about the cause we are carrying out. Hong Jiu is not suitable for Dongfeng City. Even if you force her to go, it is very likely that she will cause serious and immeasurable losses to our Dongfeng City during an academic exchange or overseas visit. Although her political review has been passed because of her father's interference, her own beliefs are not firm."
"Her professionalism is undeniable," Nie Weimin said. "She's just a little bit coquettish. Of course, I've been in the United States for five years, and it's a completely free, relaxed society. To be honest, sometimes I find it hard to adapt to the special formality of social interaction in China, not to mention that she's a girl."
"Because besides the Soviet Union and the United States, the Republic is the third country on this planet to prepare for manned space flight. Have you forgotten? When you were a child, you said that sooner or later, you would plant the five-star red flag on the moon. Creating history has never been a job for ordinary people," said Liu Xiaohong.
After leaving the airport, Nie Weimin still went to Hong Jinbu's house to apologize to Hong Jiu.
However, Hong Jinbu's family did not open the door for him.
When he called Hong Jinbu's home in Beijing, Hong's aunt told him that Hong Jiu had gone abroad again.
Yes, there was a strong, masculine and handsome American white boy who had been pursuing Hong Jiu.
After choosing Nie Weimin, Hong Jiu told him more than once that if he treated her badly, she would break up with him immediately and choose the white boy.
After all, white boys are much more eye-catching than Nie Weimin.
Nie Weimin held the phone and thought for a long time, then said to the Hong family's aunt, "Aunt, remember to tell Hong Jiu to find out whether the boy pursued her because of Hong Jiu herself or because of her father's position. Finding out this is very important for her and this country."
When we returned to the Republic, the screws that had gradually loosened in the capitalist countries were tightened one by one.
Nie Weimin had to learn to adapt to this tense, introverted, Chinese-style behavior and style.
If he thinks carefully about the white boy, he will find that there are many doubts.
For example, his parents are working to promote trade in many American electronic products in China, and Hong Jinbu seems to be able to help them with this.
When it came time to propose, Nie Weimin was too embarrassed to go alone, so he asked Chen Lina to call Liu Xiaohong first. Only after she agreed did Nie Weimin go.
Farm, May, morning mist.
Liu Xiaohong was waiting for him in front of the gate of Farm No. 1.
It was a wet morning in the diwozi, as it had rained last night. She was wearing a white dress with her long, slightly curly hair loose.
Liu Xiaohong was smiling the whole time and was quite shy.
Two beautiful eyes, just like the ones Nie Weimin saw when he looked through Chen Lina's arms when he went back to adopt her.
After thinking for a long time, Nie Weimin said, "We will be revolutionary partners from now on. I will wash the dishes at home, and I will wash all the dishes for you during the three years of junior high school. Is that okay?"
If you can really do it, in fact, this is the most beautiful proposal in marriage.
He had fantasized about proposing on his knees, and had also thought about saying something sweet to propose.
But in fact, the Chinese, traditional, restrained and implicit approach is the most suitable for him.
He put his hands behind his back, handed the diamond ring box to Liu Xiaohong, and said, "I can wash my socks by myself now. I can wash yours, too."
