Chapter 247

Defending the country

At the mining area train station, Su Xiangdong was standing at the exit with a bouquet of flowers in his arms, smiling. It had been a long time, but Nie Weiguo hadn't come out.

"Zhao Yalu, are you sure? Did Nie Weiguo buy today's train ticket?" He asked Director Zhao impatiently.

Director Zhao said, "Yes, I have been calling him to confirm, it is today."

Okay, keep waiting.

The passengers coming from Beijing West had basically all left. At this time, a man with long hair, very thin, very tall, angular features, and a face full of stubble walked out of the train station.

He was wearing a half-worn, purple-red long cape, a bronze T-shirt underneath, jeans, and a plaid skirt over his pants. He was dragging a large suitcase behind him.

Director Zhao was drooling as he watched this strange man. How could one describe him? Once one stared at him, one would feel like they couldn't take their eyes off him.

Of course, if he had been born later, he would have understood that this is called Bohemian style.

Generally speaking, the man is masculine, cool, and eye-catchingly handsome.

"Leader, that person must be Nie Weiguo." Zhao Yalu suddenly said.

Su Xiangdong turned around and stood there for a long time without coming to his senses. He patted Zhao Yalu on the shoulder and said, "Britain is not Bailang's for the past five years. Nie Weiguo is a fucking rock star. Fei Xiang doesn't have his aura."

"Weiguo, come with me for dinner first, and then we'll talk about our future cooperation, okay?" Su Xiangdong said, handing the flowers to Nie Weiguo and waving his hand. Two photographers took pictures from both sides.

Erdan sniffed the air in the mining area, paused for a long time, and said, "Uncle Su, I'm sorry, I just want to see my mother now?"

"Sure, let's go right away. But, are you sure you don't want to come with me to find a hotel and have a good meal?" He looked so thin that it seemed as if he hadn't had a good meal in years.

Nie Weiguo shook his head. "I'm really sorry. I should go home now."

As he spoke, he shook the videotape in his hand. "It's been five years. I've only seen her face in the videotape. I don't even know what she looks like now."

Chen Lina sent a copy of her interview videotape to Nie Weiguo, and Weiguo would take it out and watch it whenever he missed his mother.

"Weiguo, I am your old boss, so now we should talk about how to conquer the world."

Having said that, Su Xiangdong handed the documents he had sorted out earlier to Erdan.

Erdan took the documents and flipped through them casually, saying, "I have to go home first. As for these contracts, Uncle Su, you haven't even heard the songs I composed. How can you be sure that you are willing to sign me?"

"I will have a song for you to sing." Su Xiangdong said, "You don't need to worry about the song, you just need to worry about singing it well."

This was also five years ago when Su Xiangdong taught Erdan: "There are a lot of songs in the European and American pop music scene that you can sing for the rest of your life. Even if you run out of them, I will buy you new songs, so you will never have to worry about having nothing to sing."

Erdan returned the contract to Su Xiangdong. "Uncle Su, a singer who can't compose is lifeless. Sorry, I won't be your yes-man and sing the lyrics you asked someone to write that are full of reactionary remarks."

Su Xiangdong said as if he had just met Nie Weiguo. "How do you know that my lyrics are necessarily reactionary? Nie Weiguo, you just came back from England. Don't tell me that you still have your mother's old-fashioned ideas in your heart."

Erdan Rock patiently explained to Su Xiangdong, "Rock is the culture that is most easily manipulated by extremists, religions, and racial forces. When I went abroad, I was a student who knew nothing but singing.

Now I understand the charm and significance of rock as a culture, and what kind of contribution it should make to society. This is also the ultimate purpose of my father sending me to the UK. "

After a long pause, Erdan said, "You keep calling and writing to recommend books to me. Do you know the writer named Zhang Chenglin? I visited him.

But he is a fanatic who wants to split Qinghai and Tibet. And the rocker Jenny Baker you recommended to me has made a lot of statements that smear our Republic internationally. Uncle Su, you may not know those people in China. I am more inclined to believe that you are deceived. But if you are deceived, how can I give you a job? "

Su Xiangdong wiped his face and said, "Your father is a talent. Capitalism turned a silly boy into a philosopher who can see through Qiu Hao."

Of course, after Nie Gong sent his son into a den of evil spirits, Su Xiangdong was unable to brainwash him.

He waved his hand and said to Erdan, "Goodbye, I wish you a bright future and great success."

Standing there, Su Xiangdong watched Nie Weiguo leave with a gloomy look.

Chen Lina was working at a clothing factory today and happened to be off work at this moment.

She glanced at the green belt in front of the door and saw a bronze-skinned, thin, tall, sunny and charming man standing on the side of the road with his hands in his pockets, looking at her.

Although she is old, her heart is young. Miss Chen whistled softly, "Xiangnan, have you seen that handsome guy? If you were not married, I would definitely persuade you to take him down."

"Wow, Sister Chen, you'd better hide quickly, otherwise you're too beautiful and will steal my attention. I'll have to look at you more even after you get married." Su Xiangnan said.

"Mom!" The manly, thin and handsome man stretched out his two big hands and walked towards Chen Lina.

It took Chen Lina a long time to recognize this child, who was so thin that he had completely lost his human form.

Her Erdan has become a real man.

Harbin Institute of Technology and Qian Gong had just got off work and were walking towards the family area. For uneducated workers like them, being a team leader is basically the ceiling and there is no possibility of promotion.

But, I get paid every month and live a leisurely life. It's much better than working for Engineer Nie and Chief Engineer Wang who are always busy, right?

Look, they are talking about Qian Goudan's marriage.

As for the wife of Harbin Institute of Technology, I suggest finding a wife for Goudan on the farm. My own wife can help introduce one to him.

But Qian Gong was unwilling to do so. He would rather his son find a dual-job worker. Well, many young girls were transferred to Base No. 1 recently, and Qian Gong had a crush on one of them.

And that little girl also liked Qian Gou'er, and it seemed that it was time for her to meet his parents.

However, his family has not saved any money in recent years because of Qian's wife's slovenly state and Goudan's extravagant spending. He wants to tidy up the house and let Qian Goudan bring the girl back.

Otherwise, the yard of Mr. Nie’s house opposite is almost full of houses, but his house is still a small bungalow, which is uncomfortable.

"If you lend me 20,000 yuan, I'll blow up a building, and my house will be more spacious than Nie Gong's. When your wife wants to get married, I'll pay you back, and you can blow up a building, too. How about that?"

Of course Harbin Institute of Technology was unwilling to do so, because he had saved money and was planning to build a house.

"Wow, this might be someone from my hometown?" Seeing Erdan getting off Chen Lina's car, Harbin Institute of Technology was stunned. "This outfit is so cool."

When Qian Gong saw it, his mouth widened. "This is Erdan. Erdan, why is your hair so long?"

Although Erdan looked scary, he was still a well-behaved and polite young man. "Hello, Uncle Qian, hello, Uncle Ha."

"Erdan, are you studying abroad or wandering around? Why is your hair so long?" Chen Zili was about to enter the house when he was also stunned.

"What do you mean by wandering around studying abroad? This is called rock. Rock singers have to shake their hair when they sing, and the greasier the hair is, the better. When it shakes, it makes a rustling sound, and the people in the audience will follow suit. Really." Chen Lina stood on tiptoe and patted Erdan. "My son is a real rocker. Just for this long hair, I think it's worth it for him to study abroad."

Under the surprised gazes of everyone in the base, Erdan bowed to everyone and walked in.

"It seems that brothers Weimin and Weiguo didn't make much money and didn't buy any candy." Next door, Mailiye and his younger one were very dissatisfied and said with pouting lips.

Well, compared to those who returned from studying abroad, Erdan and Weimin are really not very excited.

The guards didn't even have wine to prepare for their wives' weddings, and they didn't even give candy to their children. No wonder the children in the base are resentful.

The whole family gathered together to eat, and the square table was almost full of people.

The worker looked tall and thin, silent, and only cared about eating. Erdan kept adding vegetables to his bowl with chopsticks. "Eat less rice and more vegetables. It's okay not to eat rice. You haven't been in the UK for five years and never had a meal."

"Dad, it is said that British food is the worst in the world." Erdan said, "There is statistical data on this."

Well, although he looks masculine and handsome, his true colors are revealed as soon as he starts talking. He is still the simple and honest Erdan.

The worker was afraid that he didn't have enough to eat, so he hurriedly told him to eat more.

Erdan looked at a fish in the middle of the table and stretched out his chopsticks to eat it, but the satellite had already placed the fish in front of him after picking out the bones. Well, this cute little silly girl is always as warm as an angel.

"Do you want more rice? Sister-in-law will give you another bowl." Liu Xiaohong said.

Wei Guo blushed and turned to look at Chen Lina, "Mom, Sister Xiaohong calls herself sister-in-law. I feel so uncomfortable."

Chen Lina patted his shoulder and said, "You'll get used to it."

"When will Dandan come back? And Deng Chun, Mom, I miss them so much. When we call each other occasionally, Dandan always says he is busy, and Deng Chun always says he is picking up girls. Are they in school or doing something else?" Erdan asked little Dandan again.

Chen Lina said, "Dan Dan called me a while ago and said he would be back soon, but I don't know the details. As for Deng Chun, how old is he? Can he already pick up girls?"

As she spoke, Chen Lina suddenly raised her eyebrows and asked, "Weiguo, what about you? Are you also picking up girls outside every day?"

Erdan was terrified and quickly said, "No, I don't talk to girls outside."

"That's right. Foreign girls don't like you. You have no money and your clothes are so tattered. Well, take off your clothes and let your mother mend them for you." Nie Gong said as he looked at Erdan's jeans full of holes.

Pointing to his overlong shawl, the worker said, "You need to cut this one in half. It's too long. It can be used as a mop."

Erdan quickly said, "Okay."

He was so well-behaved that Chen Lina couldn't help but touch his head. Well, she hated all men with long hair, except Nie Weiguo.

A tall and thin, bronze-skinned, handsome and reserved man who never says hello to girls. He is a mysterious oriental handsome guy.

Many of Erdan's classmates believe that there is a mysterious power in him because of his silence and hard work, as well as his aura of suddenly standing up and upholding justice when others are bullied.

Moreover, everyone believes that he is the most orthodox successor of Chinese Kung Fu.

What Erdan didn't dare tell his parents was that there were many girls chasing after him, of all skin colors.

However, although he is unrestrained on the stage, he is still very traditional at heart. He refuses to accept girls who pursue him and also says that his marriage should be decided by his parents.

But when he goes crazy on stage, that kind of infectiousness, that kind of explosiveness is completely different from his usual shyness.

Well, this kind of ascetic conservatism and shyness made his classmates give him the nickname "Father".

After the meal, Nie Weimin did not kick or shout at the older ones. Instead, he stood up on his own initiative and started to carry the dishes to the kitchen.

Erdan was not willing to be left behind. With long hair and tattered clothes, he got closer to the stove and almost burned himself.

Nie Weimin finally took the time to look at his wife. When he turned around, he saw that his brother's butt was on fire. He quickly kicked him twice and put out the fire on Erdan's butt.

Then, he hurried out of the kitchen.

"The kang is ready tonight. Let's sleep together." Nie Weimin said as he actively added fuel to the fire under the stove to boil water for Liu Xiaohong.

Liu Xiaohong hummed as she washed the dishes.

Xiao Nie's face was blushing, and Liu Xiaohong's face was also blushing. It was still the familiar home, and there was still the vegetable garden outside the window, but they had grown up and got married.

Nie Gong has been studying Erdan. After watching him for a while, he asked Erdan, "Is it very expensive to get a haircut in the UK?"

"There are expensive ones and cheap ones. The cheap ones cost three pounds at least," said Erdan.

The laborer then said, "Lina, go get the clippers and I'll trim the kid's hair. His hair is too long and his neck must be too hot. If he keeps covering his head like this, his brain will get damaged."

"Dad." Erdan suddenly called out, "You understand me. I wanted to shave my head as soon as I got home, but I was so happy to go home that I forgot."

In fact, no matter if other people grow long hair just to look cool, Erdan really has no money and can't afford to cut his hair, so he grows his hair into a masculine buzz cut, and becomes what he is today.

Tonight Liu Xiaohong and Nie Weimin spend their wedding night together.

Erdan took out a guitar, sat on the sofa and started playing.

Nie Gong said to Wei Guo, who had just shaved his hair, "Let Wei Xing take you out for a walk. It's not even dark yet. Besides, Dad really doesn't want to hear this, okay?"

"Dad, don't you want me to go home? Besides, I'm too full and don't want to walk." Erdan looked innocent and didn't realize there was anything wrong with him.

The worker was too lazy to talk to him. "If I tell you to go out for a walk, then go out for a walk. Let the satellite follow you. Ride your bike and go for a walk along the Poplar River, then go for a walk around the farm, and then go for a swim in the artificial lake in the mining area. Go."

"With so many places to go around, it won't be dawn by the time we're done." Erdan said.

The worker was anxious. "Just go when I tell you to. What are you talking about? Hurry up and leave."

Here, Nie Weimin and Liu Xiaohong, who were both very nervous, washed the pot before it got dark and quietly sat on the edge of the kang.

"My parents won't laugh at me, right?" Wei Min was a little worried.

Liu Xiaohong shook her head and said, "I don't know."

"Whether it's a joke or not, my dad and his friends seem to be going to the mining area. Erdan and Weixing have also left. Let's go to sleep. They definitely won't know what we are doing." Nie Weimin thought so naively. "It's still daylight. They must think we are just lying on the kang and chatting."

Liu Xiaohong asked again, "Have you prepared condoms?"

Nie Weimin was stunned. "No, why do I need a condom?"

"I can't get pregnant for at least the next two years, otherwise I won't be able to go on with the project," said Liu Xiaohong.

Nie Weimin was so anxious that he kept shaking his head. He ran out and saw that his parents were getting ready to open the door.

Chen Lina asked him, "Wei Min, what's the matter that makes you so anxious?"

Nie Weimin is not a fool. He can't tell his parents about finding condoms.

I was stunned for a long time, but I had to do it. Besides, who knew when Nie Weiguo would come back, and the room at home was not soundproof.

Well, he suddenly had an idea and ran to the infirmary, but everyone inside had gone off work and gone to eat.

However, this matter was not likely to be difficult for Nie Weimin. He looked around, found a piece of wire, pried the door open, went in, took two boxes, and hurried home.

Well, Wei Min was ready to go. He pressed Xiao Hong down on the kang. He was very excited and was just about to start working when the phone at home rang.

"Wei Min, I have a case here that is extremely challenging. Are you interested in listening to me talk about it?" It turned out to be Yu Donghai.

"Uncle Yu, I'm busy. Goodbye." Nie Weimin said and hung up the phone.

He ran out of the big house and went back to his own small room. Then the phone rang again.

"Hey, Weimin, I heard that you're going to rest for two months this time. So, I have a case here..."

"It is your job as the police to solve the case. I won't interfere. Uncle Yu, goodbye." Nie Weimin said and dialed the phone directly.
