Chapter 258

The wind blows the wheat waves

Hong Jinbu thought about it and made another call.

"Hello, is this Ji Huaishan? It's me, Lao Hong."

"Hello, Minister Hong." Ji Huaishan said.

Hong Jinbu stopped beating around the bush and said directly, "I know you have four children and your family is in a very tight financial situation. Now, I'll tell you an address. Leng Qi and Nie Bozhao will probably be there soon. Listen to me, as long as you catch them and kill the man they brought with them, a man named Su Xiangdong, all the money in that house will be yours. In addition, I can transfer you to Beijing, and I'll do it now. Don't be afraid of any legal responsibility for killing Su Xiangdong. He is a scum who has committed a heinous crime. The police are now reporting it to the whole country, regardless of whether he is dead or alive. Killing him is to get rid of harm for the people."

Ji Huaishan hesitated for a long time on the phone. "Nie Bozhao?"

"Yes, you must know him. Leng Qi, you know him too. We were once a system, right? But this is not important. You will get a sum of money. As long as you kill Su Xiangdong, the heinous criminal, the money will be clean and will be your unexpected fortune."

"Okay, I got it." Ji Huaishan picked up the pen, quickly wrote down an address, promised to complete the task, and hung up the phone.

Hong Jinbu sat paralyzed on the sofa, still thinking in his failed life.

Well, give the money from Hohhot to Ji Huaishan. He is not afraid. As long as Su Xiangdong is dead and the evidence is destroyed, he still has the big automobile factory in the mining area.

As long as he has the automobile factory and as long as his crimes are not exposed, he can still be promoted and make money, and can still live freely on this land of the Republic.

Morning sun and golden wheat waves.

When they didn't dare to drive on the provincial highway, they drove on the country roads. As for any town, because there were cordons everywhere, the laborers didn't dare to enter and had to drive around by looking at the map.

They had been walking like this for two days.

Su Xiangdong has already told Nie Gong and Leng Qi the address.

Su Xiangdong spread his hands and smiled, "I have the correspondence and recordings with them, all the evidence of their crimes, all recorded in detail."

"Besides this, what else is there?" asked the laborer.

Su Xiangdong said, "There are gold bars, weighed in kilograms, one hundred kilograms."

The worker driving the car sneered, "One hundred kilograms of gold, all given to Hong Jinbu by you?"

"It was exchanged for oil. At present, it does not belong to me or anyone else. We have agreed that we will divide it equally among several people. They may hide their money for their children and grandchildren, but I plan to use mine as a fund for reform."

Chen Lina said, "I once had 100 kilograms of gold. Those things helped the mining area develop 20 years ahead of schedule."

"I have known for a long time that such a huge fortune should not belong to any one person. However, once people become greedy, they cannot stop," said Su Xiangdong.

However, he did not expect that retribution would come so quickly. Hong Jinbu, Jin Sheng, and the person above would take action so early in order to get rid of him.

The car continued to move forward. Several children sleeping in the back of the car suddenly woke up. When they saw that it was daybreak, the guards released Wei Xing and Wei Jiang.

It was early in the morning. Several children had slept in the carriage the previous night, covered with adult clothes. It was cold. Besides, they had to pee when they woke up early in the morning.

But at this time, the adults were driving in front and it was difficult to park.

Wei Min and Wei Jiang were fine, as they were already grown-up kids and could still hold it in.

Leng Feng sat for a while, rubbing his eyes, then suddenly stood up, held onto the carriage and began to urinate.

While playing the music, he was also shouting, "Satellite, satellite, come and see if I'm peeing high."

Nie Weixing covered his eyes and said, "Are you ashamed? Let me ask you."

Leng Feng's urine was long, but just as he was peeing against the wind, suddenly a gust of wind blew over from the wheat field, and the urine was blown into the car by the wind.

Nie Weimin was quick-witted and pulled the satellite back, but Leng Feng's urine was already all over his body.

He had always disliked Leng Feng, so he reached out and pulled him down from the railing, then slapped him twice on his bare buttocks.

"Dad, Dad, Nie Weimin hit me." Leng Feng hit the rear window and yelled to complain, but when he looked through the glass, he found that he was also patting the back of the chair and yelling.

"I don't agree to put him down, Nie Bozhao. If you put Su Xiangdong here and he runs away, what should we do?"

"But the problem is that he is dying, and he has given your son so much property, which is enough to prove that he is a good man," Anna shouted.

Leng Qi raised his hands and shouted, "The state pays me a salary and provides me with a pension. I just need to be frugal. I only have one son, and my money is enough. What do I need so much money for? We cannot take his money, but we must take him back and hand him over to the organization."

Chen Lina and Nie Gong also hesitated.

Because Su Xiangdong told them the address where the evidence was hidden, but he also had one request, which was that he had to get off the bus immediately and he did not want to go to Hohhot with Nie Gong and the others.

Not only was he very excited, but Anna was also very excited. "I used to be a nurse, and you have to listen to me. He is now on his deathbed, with internal bleeding, which is very serious. Why can't you meet his request?"

Chen Lina looked at the worker and asked, "What do you think?"

Su Xiangdong had been running a fever and his face was extremely pale.

Anna couldn't persuade Leng Qi, so she took his hand and said, "Try it yourself. See how swollen his abdomen is. This proves that his body has been bleeding. The bleeding has not stopped and has not been absorbed. He is dying now."

Nie Gong drove all night last night. Suddenly, he slowly stopped the car on the side of the road, turned around and asked, "Su Dong, you should know that without your testimony, Gao Feng would most likely be regarded as the big tiger in the oil system."

"The evidence can explain everything." Su Dong said, "My evidence is enough to clear out all those who have colluded in stealing oil, from the Ministry of Industry to several oil bases."

"But you said that the evidence is in Hohhot, and now it is at least a hundred kilometers away from Hohhot," Nie Gong said again.

Su Xiangdong motioned Anna to support him and sat up with difficulty. "So, for the sake of loyalty, you should leave me here. Otherwise, I will die with regrets, because I treat you as my closest relatives, and you still doubt me."

Nie Gong looked at Chen Lina and said, "The satellite will not accept your gift, but Xiao Chen can help you manage the car factory. She can do it."

Therefore, when Nie Gong and Leng Qi first received the letter of transfer from Su Xiangdong, they had actually agreed that they would not take a penny of Su Xiangdong's money, but what they wanted was Su Xiangdong's confession of guilt and punishment, and confession of the deposits.

What would be the real large amount of money in the Republic?

At that time, Chen Lina said these words to Anna, Leng Qi and Nie Gong.

She said that from the 1990s to the millennium, people became more and more wealthy due to the accelerated economic development and improved living conditions, but this also led to a large number of people becoming unhappy.

After buying a house and seeing the house price increase, one should be happy. However, too many people are suffering, wondering why they did not buy two houses in order to make more money.

Since the stock market became popular in the 1990s, many people have made money in the stock market.

But most of the people who have made money are not happy. They are always struggling, thinking that they did not buy at the lowest price, nor did they sell at the highest price, so that when they have made a lot of money, they are not happy.

This kind of anxiety has brutally taken over people's daily lives.

So they became richer and richer, but also less and less happy.

"We have social gatherings for government agencies, so we can communicate with each other. As long as there are movies introduced or released in the mining area, we will show them. The tickets are almost all issued by the district government. As for the environment, we have such a beautiful artificial lake to swim and walk, and we have such a large wetland to hunt rabbits, walk the dog, and take the children to play. As long as we are frugal and don't spend recklessly, we can always save a little from the annual salary and plan a trip."

Chen Lina gently signed a waiver on the donation form belonging to the satellite, saying, "I don't want my child to have a lot of money since childhood. Compared to money, I hope that she can be happy and grow up safely under the love of her parents."

The mining area's economy, industry, living standards, and everything concerning the residents have improved overall.

In this case, why bother to fight for who is richer than who?

Suddenly, the car stopped, Nie Gong and Leng Qi got off together, and Leng Qi carried Su Xiangdong out of the car on his back.

"Are you planning to stay here?" Leng Qi said, looking at the endless golden wheat waves.

Su Xiangdong opened his eyes, looked around, and said, "It's a good place."

Wei Xing and Leng Feng were arguing. Seeing that his godfather had gotten out of the car, Leng Feng also jumped out of the car. "Godfather, are you okay? How about I carry you on my back and let's go for a walk in the wheat fields? I really don't want to take the car anymore. I want to go out and have fun in the wheat fields."

"Leng Feng and I will accompany him, and you guys should hurry to Hohhot," said Anna.

Nie Gong was not as suspicious as Leng Qi. He also felt that Su Xiangdong was dying. He shook Anna's hand and told her to "take good care of him. But if he's alive, we need to see his body. If he's lost, we'll all be punished."

When the satellite saw this, he also jumped out of the car and said, "Mother An, I don't want to ride in the car anymore. I want to go to the wheat field with Xiao Fengfeng."

Time was running out, and after a brief discussion, Anna and the children all stayed to accompany Su Xiangdong, while the adults drove on to Hohhot.

Nie Gong handed his old Type 54 rifle to Nie Weimin and said, "This is my gun. The bullet numbers are all mine. If Su Xiangdong wants to escape, you must first find a way to subdue him. If you can't subdue him, just shoot him. Dad can take care of this for you."

Nie Weimin took the gun, weighed it, and said, "Okay, Dad."

The two brothers both had their hands in their pockets, wearing the same wrinkled white shirt, the same blue pants, and were exactly the same height. Dandan looked a little sweeter and more charming, while Nie Weimin had a buzz cut and looked a little gloomier than Dandan.

Nie Gong got in the car, and Leng Qi took over driving. He went to the back and sat with Miss Chen.

The two held hands tightly and looked back out the window at the child who was getting smaller in the golden wheat field.

"When I was pregnant with Weiguo, I had a big fight with Sun Gong. I felt that one child was enough," Nie Gong said with a smile. After a pause, he said, "Then Weijiang was born. I became even angrier. I felt that a child would seriously hinder my scientific research work."

But now, I feel so lucky.

Without these three sons, no matter how great his scientific achievements were, or even if he was given a prominent mention in the history books of the Republic, it would be of no use.

After all, he would not be like today, where no matter where he is, as long as he sees his three sons who are shoulder to shoulder tall, he would have an incomparable sense of accomplishment and satisfaction, right?

It’s only about 20 kilometers away from Hohhot.

The wheat fields gradually disappeared, and in their place were new urban areas under construction.

In the wilderness, at the end of the road, there is a checkpoint staffed by the public security, armed police, and border defense forces.

Although there were checkpoints outside the city, no cars were stopped.

The loud speaker was calling out, "Nie Bozhao and Leng Qi from the Umayyad mining area, please get off the bus immediately and accept inspection. Please get off the bus immediately and accept inspection."

…

Su Xiangdong could no longer walk, and was supported by Nie Weimin and Wei Jiang on both sides, walking slowly in the golden wheat fields.

"When I was in Yan'an, I also planted wheat." He whispered, gently scooping up the wheat waves blown by the wind.

After a pause, he continued, "At that time, we responded to the call and went to the countryside. Of course, we also had ideals in our hearts and believed that changing ourselves would change the fate of the Republic."

Su Xiangdong once planted a wheat field with his own hands. When it was harvest time, he would stand guard by the wheat field every day to prevent birds from eating the wheat and to prevent sudden rain from damaging the wheat. On the day of the harvest, Xia Ying and I baked a wheat cake that exuded the fragrance of wheat. At that time, I still firmly believed that changing us would change the fate of the Republic.

The subsequent criticism, struggles and deaths of his relatives made him begin to doubt the whole world. He chose to become a thief, collude with corrupt officials and spend money madly.

Anna said, "I once doubted my life, but in the end, I chose to follow my fate and keep my original intention. I think everything will pass. Our ancestors dyed this land red with blood, and then we got the Republic. When we complain that our youth and sweat are buried in the yellow earth, so that we can't enjoy life better, we should think about those soldiers who sacrificed their lives on the battlefield at a young age. What they dedicated was not only their youth, but their lives."

Su Xiangdong laughed. "So, on the day Xia Ying came, I suddenly figured it out. The blood, youth, and sweat of one generation will bring peace, prosperity, and prosperity to future generations. We are the generation that should pay the sweat. History will remember us, our children will remember us, and we should be proud of it."

Leng Feng and Wei Xing walked behind Su Xiangdong.

They are children born in peacetime and do not understand how much their parents have paid to make the Republic what it is today.

But after all, Leng Feng often listened to the stories of his grandfather and father, and Wei Xing, who had been following his mother everywhere for a few months, also knew how much sweat and hard work his mother had put in for the construction of the mining area.

"Fuck, we won't let you down." Leng Feng raised a dart and said, "I will remember every word you said today, really."

The satellite threw himself into Anna's arms and started crying.

Anna kissed the little face of the satellite. Seeing that Su Xiangdong was being dragged forward by Nie Weimin and Wei Jiang, she took off her coat, flattened a wheat field, and said, "Weimin, help your uncle Su lie down here. He can't walk anymore."

Su Xiangdong lay in the wheat field, closed his eyes, and listened to the rustling wind.

At the end of his life, what he thought about most was the wheat field he had planted in Yan'an.

That wheat field made him understand from the bottom of his heart the farmers’ love for food, which is as deep as their own blood.

In his mind were the flourishing wheat seedlings in spring, the golden wheat waves in summer, and the cake with sweet wheat aroma that he made with new wheat when he was hungry and his stomach was feeling sour.

He no longer remembered Xia Ying, he even forgot what Xia Ying looked like.

On the contrary, Anna's face appeared very clearly in his mind.

Su Xiangdong thought to himself, if there is an afterlife, please let me meet a woman like Anna. She is silent, kind, and sad. She is the wheat field in my heart, the blue waves in my heart, and the golden apples in my heart. She is a mother as gentle and amiable as the earth.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw four children and a woman sitting next to him.

He then shook Anna's hand, and Anna immediately held his hand tightly and said softly, "The children and I will be with you, don't be afraid, okay?"

She seemed not to be sad, but her whole person was a walking sadness. She seemed to be broken at the first blow, but she was Su Xiangdong's only support at the moment.

When he was about to die, he had no fear and no terror, all because he had this woman who kept him warm and supported him on her thighs.

Oh, and there are children. His most admired characters are Nie Weimin and Nie Weijiang, and he can find them in the huge city of Beijing just by using a hairpin.

His most beloved Leng Feng, who seemed to be a bit harsh, had an extremely soft heart. Although he was always slapped, yelled at and scolded by his father since he was a child, he never complained.

What he wanted most was to pin his father, who was a powerful fighter and could not be defeated, to the ground.

What happens after you are pushed to the ground?

The kid never thought about it.

Oh, and there is the little satellite. She gently shook his hand and asked, "Father, are you hungry? Are you thirsty? Do you want to drink some water? I will go find some for you."

"Sing a song for me, Satellite," Su Xiangdong said. After a pause, he said, "Anna, you must accept the property I give to my children, because if you refuse to accept it, whether it is the car factory or my house, it will eventually fall into the hands of bad people."

Nie Weixing then softly sang Su Xiangdong's favorite song.

The child sang in a very slow and childish voice. Nie Weimin raised his head and saw a group of larks actually flying up over the golden field and soaring in the sky.

The endless golden wheat waves rustled in the wind.

Nie Weimin held the satellite's hand and heard a melodious harmonica sound.

Nie Weijiang played the harmonica softly.

"My motherland and I cannot be separated for even a moment. Wherever I go, a song of praise will flow out..."

Su Xiangdong then closed his eyes. Thirty-seven years of life, from being born with a silver key, the eldest son of the first batch of entrepreneurs in the Republic, to wearing a big red flower, singing and dancing out of Shanghai, and now, he is exactly thirty-seven years old.

In the singing of satellites, in the sound of harmonica in the frontier, in the endless golden wheat waves, he closed his eyes forever and peacefully.

Anna let him rest his head on her thighs until he died. When he was about to die, she took off her shirt and covered Su Xiangdong's face with it, then sat there for a long time, holding his body in her arms.

Several children gathered around her, quietly listening to the sound of the wind blowing through the wheat fields.

Suburbs of Hohhot.

There were many barracks in front of it, and all the soldiers were armed, but the truck showed no signs of slowing down. It was obvious that it was trying to break through the checkpoint.

"Nie Bozhao, Leng Qi, don't be impulsive, calm down, stop the car, pull over." The loudspeaker was still shouting loudly.

The laborer in the back also shouted, "Leng Qi, that's enough, stop the car quickly, or we will all die."

Chen Lina also said, "Leng Qi, please stop the car for me. Think about it yourself. As the Minister of the Armed Forces, what would you do if someone rushed through the checkpoint?"

But Leng Qi refused to stop the car. "If we stop, we're done. These people are definitely deceived by Hong Jinbu. We can only rush over. We have to kill them at Hong Jinbu's house, take out the evidence, and then hand it over to the organization."

"Stop the car." Chen Lina was so angry that if she wasn't afraid of the car being destroyed and people being killed, she would have grabbed the steering wheel.

Leng Qi was still pressing the accelerator. "Damn it, the other party has already opened the insurance. Young worker, Xiao Chen, lie down quickly. I will take you two to check in today."

All the guns on the opposite side are indeed under safety. Once the safety is under safety, they can be raised and fired at any time.

"Stop, don't resist, stop now." The horn shouted loudly.

Leng Qi in the car was also shouting, "I'd rather die than stop the car. I can endure hardships and tiredness in my life, but what I can't stand the most is this kind of misunderstanding, being framed, and being wronged."

"Leng Qi, my in-laws, my in-laws." Nie Gong suddenly had an idea and shouted, "Think about the satellite, then think about Feng Feng. We didn't make any mistakes. At most, we just lost our jobs. We still have the clothing factory, and we have to attend the weddings of our two children."

The tires screamed loudly, and the car finally stopped just before the checkpoint.

Nie Gong was the first to open the car door, raised his hands, and walked out. As soon as he got out of the car, he blocked the front of the car, so that he could protect Leng Qi who was stubbornly refusing to get out of the car.

As for Miss Chen, she brushed her long hair, looked at herself in the mirror, bent down before getting off the car, and was actually putting on lipstick on herself.

"Xiao Chen, you are not the right person to do this. We are about to be arrested, and you are still putting on lipstick?"

Chen Lina put the lipstick into Xiao Kun's bag, pursed her lips and said, "If I'm really arrested, I have to take pictures. I don't want to appear in the newspapers in a sloppy manner. Even if I go to jail, I will be the most beautiful prisoner."

After getting off the car from the other side, she first reached out and gently brushed her slightly curly, fluffy, black wavy long hair.

Because of her action, all the gun barrels were aimed at her.

"A society where favors are valued is good." Miss Chen thought to herself, "If someone were to show off her charm by flipping her hair in the United States, she would probably get shot in the head by the soldiers on the other side. But the soldiers in our Republic will not do that, because they are kinder and are more willing to believe that the beautiful woman who got off the car is a good person."

Leng Qi looked at the worker who was calm, composed, and steadily walking forward, and Miss Chen, who was walking like a model even with her hands raised, and she was full of charm. He snatched the key, waved his hands, and got out of the car.

A line of people ran out from the back of the level.

The leader’s shoulder straps had five-pointed red stars, which meant he was at least a division-level officer.

Walking up to them, they stood at attention, and then snapped, "At ease," and saluted.

"Inner Mongolia Border Defense Force, Ji Huaishan reports." Ji Huaishan said loudly.

Nie Gong put his arms down, saluted, shook Ji Huaishan's hand, and said, "First, I have to confess that I fired a gun in the capital, but my bullets are numbered, and I have the right to bear arms. Second, I can prove that my firing was legal."

Chen Lina was actually very nervous because Ji Huaishan, like Leng Qi, was a half-black and half-white person.

Although he has been on the border all the time and has not made any mistakes in these years, he and Hong Jinbu are in the same system, know each other, and probably have some friendship.

Miss Chen has seen too many people who are willing to give up everything, including their dignity and faith, for money.

So, she still raised her hands and just sneered.

Ji Huaishan thought that this was a chess piece planted by Hong Jinbu in Hohhot to destroy the evidence of his crime.

Unexpectedly, Ji Huaishan said, "There should be a lot of unspeakable things in Room 301, Unit 3, Building 2, Changfeng Community, XX Road, Hohhot. I now ask you, Mr. Nie, and Captain Leng to go with me to search that house."

Chen Lina was stunned, and Leng Qi was also stunned. "You know me, why do you call me Captain Leng? Are you my soldier?"

Ji Huaishan walked up to Leng Qi, saluted, and said, "I went to the Soviet Union in 1960 and stayed in your group for a short time, but later, I was transferred to Inner Mongolia."

Leng Qi clasped his feet together, saluted in return, and said, "Soldier Ji Huaishan, listen to the order, get in the car, go to Changfeng Community, supervise each other, and strive to preserve all evidence. This is a military order."

"Yes, Commander." Ji Huaishan said, motioning Nie Gong and Leng Qi to get on a military vehicle together, while he himself sat in his command jeep.

Miss Chen saw him open the car door as if to invite her in, so she curled her lips and sneered, then got into Ji Huaishan's car.

"Is it interesting, Ji Huaishan, let me ask you, is it interesting to scare us?" Miss Chen asked after getting in the car.

Originally, he could have just stood in front of the checkpoint and signaled to stop in a friendly manner, but he made such a big scene just to scare Nian Gong, Leng Qi, and her.

Ji Huaishan was driving the car himself. He reached out to fasten Miss Chen's seat belt, but Miss Chen waved her hand away. "This is called boyfriend-style. You can't do this to anyone other than your lover. Don't be so attentive to me. I'm married. You're not allowed to flirt with me."

Ji Huaishan said sincerely, "Hong Jinbu and I have a bad relationship, but destroying evidence is a bigger crime than committing a crime. This is a matter of principle, and I can't help him no matter what. But, with such a good opportunity, how can I not show off in front of Chen Lina?"

Chen Lina paused for a long time and said, "You know, Ji Chaoqun and I have a good relationship."

"So what?" Ji Huaishan didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did. At most, he was just scaring the worker. What's the big deal?

Chen Lina then said, "Your lover has been in Shanghai for a long time. The wool textile factory is not doing well and the wages have always been very low, right?"

"Don't mention this. I get annoyed when you mention this." Ji Huaishan said, "I don't want to be corrupt. After all, if my hands are dirty, even if I make a little money, I will have to live in fear for the rest of my life. But there are four children in the family, and the salary of my family members is too low. Life is not easy, Manager Chen."

"I originally wanted to let your family run the Shanghai market of our clothing factory, but now..." Chen Lina said bitterly, "How dare you scare my husband Nie? I tell you, it's impossible. Forget it."

"No." Ji Huaishan was busy driving. He grabbed the cheese that was passed from his mouth in the gap between the armrests and said, "Come on, I'll treat you to some dry cheese."

"We make our own cheese in the mining area. Why would we want this?"

"It's imported from Outer Mongolia. It's imported goods after all. Please give me some face for trying it. Although my family is not very good at doing business, they are very familiar with the clothing industry." Ji Huaishan chewed a piece of cheese himself, grabbed a handful, and waved it in front of Chen Lina.

"Get off the car and apologize to the worker. Otherwise, your family won't even think about becoming my clothing agent, huh." Ms. Chen said.

…

"This is cash. According to preliminary statistics, there is more than 500,000 yuan." Ji Huaishan stood in front of the pile of cash and kicked it with his feet.

"This is a gold bar. By the way, it is said that during the Tang Dynasty, the amount of gold stored in the national treasury was a hundred times more than it is now. Do you know where the gold has gone in the past thousand years?" Ji Huaishan put his hands on his waist and kicked the boxes of yellow croakers stacked in them and said, "In modern times, apart from industrial uses and the opium exchanged by Western powers for opium during the Opium War, most of the gold has probably gone into the pockets of these corrupt officials."

Next, is the thing that proves everything.

Su Xiangdong collected all the handwritten letters from Hong Jinbu, Jin from Hong Yan, and the man from the Ministry of Communist Industry, as well as the notes from those who gave him convenience when he was reselling black oil.

Yes, like the one in the Ministry of Communist Karma, in many cases, he only needs to write a note and many units will immediately cooperate with his instructions.

The most important thing was the recorded phone calls between Su Xiangdong and Hong Jinbu, Jin, the man from the Ministry of Communist Party of China, some small-time parasites in the oil system, etc. He sorted and archived them one by one and sealed them all in a safe.

The password to the safe is still Leng Feng and Nie Weixing's birthdays.

Ji Huaishan is not qualified to make a red phone call.

His suggestion was to send the evidence directly to Beijing, escorted by military vehicles.

"Your Inner Mongolia's leader has not changed, right? It's still Feng Qing, right?" Nie Gong asked Ji Huaishan.

Ji Huaishan nodded quickly, "Yes. But Hong Jinbu would say hello to me, and maybe he would also say hello to Feng Qing. We are not in a position to trust anyone right now. What if Feng Qing..."

"He was once my student," Nie Gong said calmly, "but he didn't have any expertise in scientific research, so I wrote a letter of recommendation and asked him to go to a government department. Let's go to him. I have to make a red phone call."

Ji Huaishan played a trick on the factory worker and felt nervous, fearing that the factory worker would make things difficult for him.

I didn't expect that manual labor was completely useless, that's not what I meant.

This time, the journey to Beijing will be smooth and unobstructed.

In the golden wheat fields, Su Xiangdong, who always closed his eyes, was also taken to Beijing.

Nie Gong and his companions left first in the military vehicle.

Of course Chen Lina had to drive her truck back to Beijing.

After getting on the bus, although it was said that there was no more crowding and there were seats available, the children were still unhappy.

The satellite was lying in Anna's arms with a pouty mouth. Leng Feng had a dart in his hand, which he had obtained with great difficulty, but he had no interest in playing with it.

"Have you ever eaten baked beans?" Miss Chen suddenly asked.

The two elders were silent, and Leng Feng jumped up and asked, "Auntie Xiao Chen, can the beans still be roasted?"

"In June, the lentils are not yet starched. They will be so delicious when roasted." Chen Lina said as she pulled the car over. There happened to be a bean field on the side of the road, so she took a few children and went quietly down to pick beans.

"Aunt Chen, if we steal beans to eat, will the farmers catch us as thieves?" It was the first time for Leng Feng to do something bad, and he was both enthusiastic and scared.

Chen Lina lit a fire with wheat straw and was roasting beans. "Yes, bean seeds are very expensive now. Don't look at these two handfuls of beans. They need to grow in the field for six months before they can be eaten. When the farmer comes to see them, he will be very sad, because they have to be rolled into noodles, which their whole family can eat for at least two days."

"You can also make bean flour pilaf, lentil porridge, and lentil noodles." The satellite took a handful of roasted beans, pinched one open and ate one, exclaiming "Ah, it smells so good."

The guards of the people and the border are no longer small pests, but big pests.

Big pest Nie Weimin said with a strong sense of justice, "Mom, why do I have to eat a baked potato for no reason? When we were little, you allowed us to dig out wild duck eggs and bird nests, but you didn't allow us to steal potatoes and beans from the farm. You even said that if I dared to steal, you would leave immediately."

As he spoke, he sat cross-legged, shoveling away the ashes from the fire and burying potatoes in them.

Chen Lina gave him a handful of peeled young beans and asked, "Do they smell good?"

Wei Min curled his lips and said, "How can it not smell good?"

Wei Jiang smiled and gave half of his roasted beans to Nie Weimin. "When I was a kid on the farm, I ate a lot of them with the educated youth aunties. They couldn't bear to eat them themselves, so they would often secretly pick a handful and roast them for me to eat."

This kind of showing off wealth really makes people envious, jealous and angry.

Wei Xing and Leng Feng both started to shout, "Ah, Brother Dandan, shut up! You are not allowed to say anything more."

Nie Weimin put the fire on top of the potatoes, gently placed wheat stalks on top, and whispered, "I was really afraid that you would leave."

In order to keep his new mother from leaving, Nie Weimin has been a well-behaved child since he was young and has never done anything bad.

Well, suddenly one day, my mother was doing something bad and roasting beans from the farmer's house.

In a blink of an eye, the potatoes were baked and dug out of the soil. Chen Lina exclaimed as soon as she smelled them, "What a nice smell! I didn't eat enough yesterday, so I was craving for a long time. Now that we have this pile of potatoes, we can have enough today."

But at this moment, someone in the distance shouted, "Uncle, uncle, someone is destroying your beans."

"Who the hell dares to harm my beans? They are the food for our children. Now, if you want to take the beans, you won't say a word before you harm them." An old man rushed out from a nearby wheat field that was being harvested, crying and shouting.

Chen Lina pulled the children together and hid them all in a cornfield not far away that was as tall as a person.

"Mom, that farmer is sad."

"Aunt Chen, I shouldn't have followed you in eating his beans." Leng Feng also said.

The farmers who were harvesting wheat and were almost scorched by the sun looked so pitiful. They had no shortage of beans and were not hungry. At most, they were just greedy. It was really bad that they stole other people's things when they were greedy.

Leng Feng is an impulsive kid. Moreover, although he looks like his father, always making a fuss, he is actually a very soft-hearted person. Now he is ready to rush out and apologize to someone.

Who would have thought that at this moment, the farmer outside suddenly laughed, "Hey, I lost money, I lost money, the bean roaster roasted a few beans for me, but he left twenty yuan here, hahahaha."

Leng Feng turned around first and said, "Hehe, Aunt Chen, twenty yuan can buy a field of beans and two baskets of potatoes."

The satellite also said, "We shouldn't roast other people's beans, but the beans are really delicious. However, since mom lost the money, let's consider it as compensation to the farmer. This is also good."

Chen Lina waited until the old man who was harvesting wheat walked away, then dusted off her pants and said, "If you try to make a small profit, you will lose the big one. I spent 20 yuan to learn a lesson. Let's go and drive to Beijing."

Nie Weimin raised his head and sighed.

Can't he see it?

It was obvious that Chen Lina saw that Leng Feng and Wei Xing were too sad, so she deliberately made them steal beans to confuse the situation and make the two kids happy.

He was feeling proud of himself because he had seen through everything. Wei Jiang poked his arm and said, "Brother, sigh. We have been talking about Douzi all the way to make Mom think that we have been fooled by her. Do you understand?"

This little guy, what's his name? He has always followed Chen Lina's lead since he was a child.

Miss Chen's little mother sat obediently in the back row and carefully peeled the baked potatoes one by one. She gave one to Chen Lina first, then to Anna who was always in a bad mood, and then to Wei Xing and Leng Feng.

In June, the abundant, golden waves of wheat pass by the window.

Chen Lina suddenly thought of Su Xiangdonglai from her previous life. It was also in 1986 when she met him in Uru, and he also seemed to have white hair.

At that time, he was trying his best to bully her and seize the business that she had taken over and revitalized with great difficulty.

She changed many people's destinies, and at the same time also changed Su Xiangdong.

But what a pity, he actually died.

Chen Lina didn't know how much regret she felt in her heart. She regretted not sending Su Xiangdong to a hospital in advance, and she also regretted that she had always had a deep prejudice against him.

This regret and guilt almost made her breathless.

"Mom." Wei Jiang suddenly said, "By the way, before Uncle Su passed away, he told me that he never blamed you and he had to thank you for making this prosperous world what he wanted."

Chen Lina said "oh" and didn't understand what he meant.

Anna covered her lips with both hands. "He said that his death was inevitable, and that we should not live with guilt for him. To him, the prosperity of the country was far more important than the honor and disgrace of each individual. And to Su Dong himself, dying in the wheat fields was far less regrettable than spending his life in prison. He left Shanghai wearing a big red flower, and was an educated youth who was received by the leaders in Yan'an. He could be a rebellious son, and he could also prove his repentance at the cost of his life, but he would never go to jail."

The wavy wheat fields are like a golden sea, swaying in the wind.

This wheat field is just as Su Xiangdong wished. It is so gentle and beautiful, carrying the food and clothing of the entire republic for a year.

Of course, it also carries the hopes of the year for people from all walks of life running on various roads.
