Chapter 246

Patriotic thief

Chen Lina hadn't seen Chen Lili for a long time. She was shocked to hear that Wang Hongbing had helped Liu Xiaohong steal her child's household registration book from home.

However, this girl is quite smart. Since she was able to steal the household registration book, it proves that she has her own way to solve the problem. Her children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and she doesn't care about their children's marriage.

After dinner she took a nap. Before falling asleep, she heard Liu Xiaohong and Nie Weixing washing dishes in the kitchen. After they finished washing, they went to the backyard together to build a rack for eggplants and tomatoes.

After shaking the sleeping worker beside her, Miss Chen whispered, "Having a daughter-in-law is good. You see, the guards don't have to rush to wash the dishes."

Engineer Nie also said, "It's great. The house is suddenly lively. I passed by Chief Engineer Wang's house yesterday and saw his fat boy running away. I suddenly want a grandson too."

It seems that when people reach a certain age, they will have their own thoughts at that age.

For example, now, Nie Gong and Chen Lina thought, wow, Wei Minsheng’s little kid, how cute must that be.

Chen Lina had to follow Nie Weimin and Liu Xiaohong to Chen Lili's house.

As a result, halfway through the journey, her pager rang again.

When Chen Lina saw that it was a call from Beijing, she guessed that Chen Tiantian had something to ask her. It was sunny outside and she didn't want to get off the car, so she asked Nie Weimin to go back and ask about the situation on her behalf.

Nie Weimin got off the train with his pager and dialed the number on the pay phone. As soon as the call was connected, he heard a crying voice inside, "Mom, is the pork elbow stewed? Is the braised pork ready? I want to eat fat big wild rabbits. My dad shot a few for me. I'm going to get on the train right now. It will take me three days and three nights to get home. I won't eat from tonight on. Please prepare a meal for me and wait for me at the train station, okay?"

Nie Weimin heard this and said, "Erdan, don't tell me you're coming back by train."

"Brother, I took the train. Are you home too? Did you catch the rabbit for me?"

Nie Weimin quickly said, "How about this, you borrow some money from the person on the train, then take the person off the train, and I will pay him at the train station, but you must eat the meal, understand?"

"No, no, brother, I'm not short of money, and I'm not hungry. I'm just really, really hungry, you know? Really, really hungry."

Nie Weimin hung up the phone and before he could tell Chen Lina that he was about to die on his way back from studying in the UK, a few people went to Chen Lili's house to visit.

"What do you mean? You're only 23. What kind of marriage are you two getting?" Chen Lili was unhappy when she heard that. "That's what I said. What status do I have in this family? The daughter I raised with great difficulty is getting married, and I don't even have the qualifications to attend the wedding."

The eldest and second daughter went to school and were not at home.

Chen Lili's house in the mining area was allocated by the water and power station. It is a family building with two bedrooms and a living room. The kitchen also has a honeycomb stove. The house is quite spacious and well decorated. The walls are covered with various awards that Liu Xiaohong has won since she was a child, as well as her photos.

I guess the two girls weren't very good at studying, and they didn't even receive any certificates.

"Sister, the situation was complicated at that time. Besides, marriage is just a formality. The two children are here to see you." Chen Lina said.

"We just arranged a banquet and haven't registered it yet, but Xiaohong's household registration is with me." Chen Lili said.

Wang Hongbing happened to be at home today, so he said, "Oh, I gave the household registration to Xiaohong at the time. It's not a good thing for the child to get the certificate."

Chen Lili paused for a long time and said, "How about this, let's have dinner at home tonight. I'll cook whatever you want."

Chen Lina's pager rang again at this time, so she borrowed Chen Lili's home phone to make a call.

"Leader, you didn't expect that I would be the one looking for you. Something big happened in our mining area." It turned out to be Yu Donghai on the phone.

"Dong Hai, what's the matter?" Chen Lina asked.

Yu Donghai said, "That's right. You've always told me that there are a group of fanatical Westward wingers and a group of fanatical conservatives. The two groups are very noisy and will probably cause a very bad impact. And now, we have such people in our mining area."

That is to say, among the many people who think that society is unfair or who are unable to go abroad for various reasons, there are always a few extremists who are constantly instigating and provoking everyone to cause trouble.

Chen Lina said, "You must take this matter seriously and investigate it carefully. You can't be careless. Do you understand?"

After that, she looked at the watch and said, "I have to go to the woolen textile factory this afternoon. Wei Min and Xiao Hong will sit for a while and then go home. Your father wants to build a house, right? Wei Min will go back and ask around, and then hire a few people from the farm to help your father build the house."

"Don't the people in charge of defense have to go to work, too?" Chen Lili said.

Chen Lina said, "He started working in July, and it's only May now. If he doesn't hurry up and build a house for his father, what is a young man like him doing at home? Even if he is busy having a baby, he still has to do other things. With that, Chen Lina left."

Nie Weimin thought that Chen Lili's level would be easy to pass, but he didn't expect that Chen Lili would start to show her power as soon as Chen Lina left.

"Wang Hongbing, am I a dead person in your eyes? My daughter is getting married, why didn't you tell me a word?" Chen Lili suddenly yelled, yelling and crying, "I have raised my child for more than ten years, and I didn't even know she got married. Do you all think I am dead? Okay, then, I will die now, I will jump off the building now, anyway, I am of no use in this family."

Liu Xiaohong told Nie Weimin, "Go downstairs and wait for me. Don't say anything."

At this time, Chen Lili was already crying and ready to jump off the building.

Wang Hongbing couldn't hold her anymore, so he called out to Liu Xiaohong, "Xiaohong, come and help me, your mother is really going to jump off the building, hurry up."

Liu Xiaohong walked to the window and saw that Nie Weimin had already left the community.

"Jump, let my mother jump." she suddenly screamed.

When Chen Lili heard the young lady yelling, her voice couldn't be smaller than hers, "I jumped. I've long said that this young lady has no conscience. Look, you got married right after graduating from graduate school and you didn't even tell me about your marriage. I knew you hated me in your heart.

But why do you hate me? Chen Lina gave you to me because she didn't want you anymore. How precious do you think you are in her eyes? If she really loved you, why didn't she adopt you in the first place? "

"I won't tell you all this. I only know that for five years, I worked on the hardest frontline, and I gave you my 500-yuan monthly salary. You were kind to me, but I am an ungrateful person. I gave you a full 28,000 yuan, mom. 28,000 yuan, so that you could buy two houses in the mining area and let your two sisters go to good schools. I have given you enough. Now I want to get married and have my own little family. That's it. If you want to die, you can also say that I pushed you down. As long as the police don't arrest me, I will live with a clear conscience."

"The grace of raising a child is greater than the grace of giving birth to a child. The grace of raising a child is greater than anything else. Is that 50,000 yuan? You worked for five years and earned 6,000 yuan a year, so that must be 30,000 yuan. Where is the remaining 2,000 yuan? I ask you." Seeing that the girl called herself an ungrateful person, Chen Lili said bluntly, "You promised me that you would give me all your salary before marriage. Where is the remaining 2,000 yuan? Give me that 2,000 yuan."

"Chen Lili, you're getting more and more outrageous." Wang Hongbing said as he pulled Chen Lili in through the window and threw her to the ground.

Chen Lili wiped her face and directly reached out her hand. "I don't care about shame or not. Both girls have to go to school. They need dowries in the future. I still need a house. Now the houses in the mining area are getting more expensive every year. I asked Liu Xiaohong for a house. I won't let her down."

Wang Hongbing said, "I have a salary, I can earn money by myself, and I can buy a house for the two of us. I beg you to stop talking, Xiaohong, and stop arguing with your mother. Just leave now."

Liu Xiaohong opened the door and said, "Just think of me as an ungrateful person. If there is no one to support you in your old age, I will help you. But now, I will not give you anything. We are now even."

"You are cursing me to die early, you ungrateful bastard. If you don't give me money, you and Nie Weimin will have a hard time."

With a bang, the door closed.

When we have no money, we are all ugly.

Everyone is happy when they have money.

But in the end, the money became more and everyone was unhappy again.

For example, Chen Lili already has two houses in the mining area, but she still wants a third one. It’s very simple, she wants each of her two daughters to have one.

And in her opinion, Liu Xiaohong, who earns the most and earns it the easiest, has the easiest time.

But who could have imagined that Liu Xiaohong and Wang Hongbing would actually cut off her financial support by marrying her off.

At this moment, Chen Lili can be said to have exploded again after a long period of accumulation.

She opened the door and rushed out to chase Liu Xiaohong, but unexpectedly Liu Xiaohong was still standing outside.

"Mom, I really love you. I have loved you ever since the day you adopted me and said that even if Wang Hongbing divorced you, you would still raise me alone. But you really can't take a penny from me. I will protect my own little family as much as I did our family. My family is not easy to come by, and none of you can destroy it, really."

"You've been prepared for me to make trouble one day, right?" Chen Lili said.

Liu Xiaohong laughed directly, "Yes, but you can't beat me. Have you forgotten how good I was at helping you fight when we were kids? Have you forgotten how I tore Wang Xiaobing apart? I can do that to others, and I can do that to you, too. Don't force me to do that."

Chen Lili suddenly woke up.

This girl has planned her life very well. No matter how much trouble she makes, you can't get anything from her. She is too sober, too rational and too calm. Just like what Chen Lina said, a science student's brain is out of reach for ordinary people.

Alas, it was all a shame and a joke.

Nie Weimin was waiting for his tigress outside. Well, he had known since he was a child that Liu Xiaohong was good at quarreling, so he was relieved in that respect.

"The argument is over. Did you win?" Nie Weimin asked.

Liu Xiaohong said, "We won."

Nie Weimin said, "My grandmother was also very fierce at that time, but my mother took care of her. You should still remember that one time my grandmother came to the base to make trouble, and my mother threw away the handle of her tractor, causing her to search for it in the snow for half the night. After that, she became a good boy."

"I can do it too, don't worry." said Liu Xiaohong.

Nie Weimin heaved a sigh of relief like a good kid, "You're awesome."

He suddenly turned around to look at her, not knowing how to express his happiness, and gently took her hand.

It was great. When I first walked on the streets of the mining area, it was like talking to a spy.

Now that she is his family, he can hold her hand openly on the street.

Nowadays, people on the streets of the mining area are very fashionable. There are always young people holding hands. So, even if they hold hands together, no one will laugh at them.

The two children are already grown up. After walking to People's Square together, they have to take a bus back to the base.

"By the way, Erdan said he will be back soon and is on the train now. He wants to eat rabbit and braised pork. Should we prepare something for him?" Nie Weimin asked Liu Xiaohong.

Liu Xiaohong was delighted when she heard this. "I've always heard that Erdan's singing is famous throughout the autonomous region. It's a pity that I haven't heard of him. Let's go home and get it, and go hunting rabbits together."

The grass is lush and the water is beautiful in May, and it is the time when rabbits are fat.

Nie Weimin said, "Well, let's hurry back and go hunt rabbits before it gets dark."

In the district government, a group of people are arguing.

Hu Xuanang said that tasks should be assigned to each unit and meetings should be held, starting with the majority of cadres and employees to calm their minds and stabilize the situation.

Yu Donghai, however, felt that the people who were truly dissatisfied with society were not the cadres and employees. It was useless to force them to hold meetings every day. The police force should be increased to screen out the idle elements in society.

The Minister of Armed Forces' suggestion was to investigate Su Xiangdong and tighten the screws on Su Xiangdong. After all, he was the largest taxpayer in the mining area besides the oil fields, and his company had the largest and most diverse employees. So it was right to pick him out and deal with him.

In this regard, Nie Gong never speaks unless it is extremely urgent.

Secretary Leng was standing in front of the window. "Check, collect, collect all the guns that are still scattered around the mining area. As long as there are no guns, there won't be much terror! As for some young people making trouble and being dissatisfied with the reform and society..." He waited for the meeting to end, and everyone left, blocking the worker. "We all know that it must be related to that prematurely gray-haired Su Xiangdong. He is unmarried and alone. He has complicated connections with those above. He sings "I Love You China" every day. He loves his country deeply. He is a patriotic anti-social element and a patriotic thief."

"But the people above trust him. He's a big taxpayer and there's no evidence of any crime, so it's hard to catch him. If you really do catch him, I'm afraid you won't be the secretary for long," said Nie Gong.

Leng Qi said nonchalantly, "Since Lina said that it is very important to investigate ideology, stabilize social order, and stabilize students' thoughts, then let's do it.

After all, she said Tangshan was going to have an earthquake, and you took Gao Dayong and Yu Lianhai there, didn't the place really have an earthquake? If we catch Su Xiangdong and can't find anything wrong with him, I'll resign and go work for your Lina, but we have to investigate him, right? "

Nie Gong laughed and said, "It's not that serious. Su Xiangdong is not without problems. He definitely has problems. It's just that I have always been focusing on the economic development of the mining area and have not put in the effort to investigate him and the people behind him. Even now, I still don't have time, but Wei Min is back and he has two months. Let Yu Donghai go find him. I won't talk about other aspects of my son, but he has special talents in investigating people and investigating criminal records, really."

As they were talking, Leng Qi sent the worker out the door, then returned to the office and called Yu Donghai.

"Is it enough to just catch two rabbits? We have to do something else, how about braised pork?" Liu Xiaohong asked Nie Weimin at home.

Nie Weimin was cleaning up his father's old gun and tried a shot against the wall. It turned out that the gun was always oiled and there was no jam at all.

"Erdan said he also wanted to eat pig's trotters." Nie Weimin thought for a moment and said, "And pork elbows."

Liu Xiaohong had already gone out, drove the old jeep that the worker had taken, and got into the driver's seat. "How about this, let's go buy some groceries first, and then go hunt rabbits?"

"Okay." said Nie Weimin.

He got into the car looking very handsome, and when he looked in front of him, he found there was no steering wheel.

Well, this was also part of jet lag, because Nie Weimin almost always rushed into the car and had to wait a long time before he realized that the steering wheel was on the other side.

Liu Xiaohong started the car, and Nie Weimin was surprised again, "You can actually drive?"

Liu Xiaohong explained, "Our work is all done in the Gobi Desert. If you don't know how to drive, it's very troublesome to always ride in someone else's car."

The team was full of guys, young and old. Even if there were girls, most of them were doing clerical work. Only Liu Xiaohong was on a mission. Sometimes when she got in the car, the guys couldn't help but play jokes on her.

Nie Weimin held her in the passenger seat and looked sideways at Liu Xiaohong. "It's a rare thing that the wind and sand in the desert didn't blow you black."

"I apply sunscreen three times a day, otherwise I would have turned black long ago." Liu Xiaohong said with a smile.

"You can't apply sunscreen all over your body, right? I don't see you getting tanned."

"Who said I'm not black? I am black."

"Then I'll take a look tonight?" Nie Weimin said suddenly.

What is that called? It's the sexual enlightenment I got from sleeping in the same bed with my parents when I was very young, from the implicit and suggestive words between my parents, and the things that happened between my parents that I almost caught them doing several times later.

At this moment, it becomes concrete.

Nie Weimin, the shy and introverted oriental man described by Edward, was testing and touching Liu Xiaohong a little bit, wanting to ask if she was willing.

Liu Xiaohong looked intently ahead, didn't say anything, but bit her lip and smiled.

Oh my God, Nie Weimin kicked the car floor lightly while holding his gun, thinking that his family members seemed to have fallen from the sky. Others said that walking to the bed with their family members was like climbing a mountain, but for me, it was so easy.

The two of them wandered around the market for most of the day, buying two large pork elbows and eight large pig trotters. They wandered around and saw a family slaughtering chickens, so they bought a big fat rooster.

No one knew how hungry Nie Weiguo must be. Anyway, Liu Xiaohong planned to prepare a sumptuous meal for him.

Then, he went to the Baiyang River Dam, where there was lush grass and water, to hunt rabbits.

"After five years abroad, your shooting skills are pretty good." Liu Xiaohong followed him and had to carry gunpowder and rabbits for him.

"There is a special shooting gym in the United States. I train once a week." Nie Weimin was proud.

However, he shot too many, one at a time, and sometimes he shot five or six, and he was still reloading gunpowder into the gun.

"How can we eat all these rabbits? Even if Erdan is very hungry, he can't eat five or six rabbits in one meal, right?" said Liu Xiaohong.

"It is a tradition in our base that every family gets a share after we kill a rabbit. Tiantian's family wants to eat one, and Uncle Ha also wants to eat one. Qian Goudan's family gets one, and Wang Fan's family gets one. We don't have many left." said Nie Weimin.

The two returned home. Wei Xing, who was at school, and Chen Lina, who was at work, had not returned yet. Of course, the laborer had not returned either. The entire base was still quiet.

Liu Xiaohong first washed the lamb legs and put them in the stew pot. Then she put the other meats in the refrigerator and prepared to deal with the pile of pig trotters.

Nie Weimin wrote a recruitment notice and went to the farms to post the notices and recruit workers.

Although he and Erdan could build a house alone, Erdan was now a rock singer and probably wouldn't bother to build a house anymore. Nie Weimin thought it would be better to recruit a few people to work with him.

After returning from the farm, he saw Liu Xiaohong sitting under the grape trellis, plucking the hair from a pig's trotter with tweezers. "You can actually do this?"

"Who else would do this?" asked Liu Xiaohong.

Nie Weimin said, "My mother, when she wanted to make pig's trotters, she would use tweezers to pluck the hair, so Tiantian's mother always teased her that she spent more energy than she ate."

Liu Xiaohong smiled and said nothing.

Nie Weimin saw that there was no one around, so he walked over and kissed Liu Xiaohong on the lips. She lowered her head and smiled even more happily.

Nie Weimin smelled the sweetness and wanted to kiss it, but he heard Mai Liye and a younger one next door say, "This shameless big brother might sleep in the same room with that big sister-in-law tonight. We must listen all night to see what they are doing."

Nie Weimin stood up and yelled, "Stop working hard and go do your homework."

…
