Chapter 42



Chapter 42

Ms. Chen

The classic B Warner logo, the old black and white movie, and the music has already started.

"Comrade Lao Nie, how did you get the screen and the projector? Do you know that the children outside are waiting impatiently for the movie?"

"I need it in my research, so I brought it up." Nie Bozhao didn't care. "It's so cold in the square. The children will all catch colds tomorrow. It's better for them to go home and sleep."

"You are abusing your power for personal gain."

"Do you like it?" His voice suddenly became hoarse.

He is handsome and well-mannered. Chen Lina can't hold back her little heart and is about to jump out of her heart.

"But this is the decadence and depravity of capitalism. Weren't all these films burned during the anti-Four Olds movement?"

She was actually very worried. Under the current circumstances, if they were caught watching this kind of romance movie, they would probably be sent to the bullpen tomorrow.

"My mother particularly liked this movie, and this roll of tape was her own treasure. Although she was also a revolutionary worker, she was the eldest daughter of a wealthy family in Beijing before liberation. During the campaign to eliminate the four olds in 1966, she handed over everything except this roll of tape." So, the war did not defeat her, and building the republic did not tire her out. However, she was defeated in order to protect the two movie tapes.

"I've seen photos of my mother-in-law. She is indeed an outstanding woman. With such an outstanding mother-in-law, I, Chen Lina, cannot be worse than her..." That's why I want to be the site manager.

"Did the fork in the apricot tree in my previous life show you this?"

"I object. He is not me. I only believe in Marxism-Leninism, not rebirth. When I first watched this movie, I watched it with a critical eye. I don't deny the greatness of love, but I think patriotism is more important than love in any sense."

"So you are not as good as him. He once told me that I was the source of happiness in his life. Before he met me, his life was full of losses, and I am the only gain in his life."

"Comrade Xiao Chen, I beg you to stop talking. Jealousy makes people crazy, and I can't hit him."

"But he never showed me the tape, nor did he tell me that he had two such precious film tapes."

Comrade Lao Nie's vanity was immediately soothed, and he shook Comrade Xiao Chen's hand. They were both wearing the same Liberation Army uniform, sitting upright, and watching this shocking movie together with a critical eye.

In the movie, Rick and Ilsa agreed to meet at the train station and leave Casablanca the next day.

Ilsa begged Rick to "kiss me like it's the last time."

Chen Lina had watched the movie many times and knew that Ilsa asked Rick to kiss her at this time because she would never go on the date or go with Rick. This seemed to be the classic movie.

No matter how many times you watch it, your emotions will still be carried away by it. Just like now, her heart is about to break.

Suddenly, her neck felt warm, and the man turned his head to kiss her, grabbed her lips, pried open the gap between her lips and penetrated her, kissing her for a long and lingering time, passionately and deeply. Although it was not fierce, it was exceptionally powerful.

Well, his kissing skills have been perfect for two lifetimes.

The light and shadow on the screen kept changing, and the movie was singing casabnca, iloveyouoesby...

Chen Lina was kissed all over.

Romantic, more romantic than the previous life.

Suddenly, she caught his warm and thick hand, and Chen Lina grabbed it and said, "Comrade Lao Nie, I didn't think of giving away my virginity here. I was careless enough in my last life, but not this time."

Nie Bozhao raised his head, and they looked face to face, just like the male and female protagonists in the movie.

The girl's plump lips, clear eyes and fluffy curly hair made her even more beautiful than Ingrid Bergman in the movie.

"This is my laboratory, how is it possible? Don't even think about it." He said righteously. Of course, in his mind, the sanctity of the laboratory is incomparable.

The three children are still waiting at Chen Tiantian's house. There is a big kang (a bed that can be used for sleeping) and all of them are tired from playing. They are still eagerly waiting for their parents to pick them up.

After a while, Nie Weimin suddenly and quietly slipped off the kang, put on his little leather shoes and was about to run away.

"Big Egg, where are you going?" Chen Zili asked.

"I'll go see if my dad is back."

"Your father has told me that he is going far away tonight and won't be back."

"Impossible. He didn't even leave the base or drive his car."

"I said I wouldn't come back, so I won't come back. Go to bed quickly. You have to stay at my house tonight."

"Xiao Chen has been here for several months, right? They wouldn't just come tonight?" Tiantian's mother came in shivering and put her hands on the kang to warm them.

Chen Zili smiled knowingly and pulled his wife's hand inside.

For a family with many children, if a couple wants to do something, it is like fighting a spy war.

Here, Chen Lina, who had just finished watching the movie, had a red face and her heart was still pounding. She was wearing Nie Bozhao's tweed coat. The two of them had just finished watching the movie and had just returned.

Dogs were barking along the way, there were snoring sounds in every house, and the air smelled of coal smoke.

"Where are you going?" Nie Bozhao asked when he saw Chen Lina was about to knock on the door next door.

"Pick up the kids. They must want to go home too."

"It's already late at night, so make sure the baby doesn't catch a cold. I've already made arrangements. They'll stay next door tonight. Tomorrow you can give Xiao Wang some fried dough sticks. It's nothing to do with neighbors."

"Comrade Lao Nie, why do I feel like there's something wrong with you? Are you trying to sleep with me?"

"No, I will continue to be romantic for another hundred rounds until I win the heart of Comrade Xiao Chen."

Her teeth hurt, and she was about to lose all her teeth, but she seemed to enjoy it. What kind of problem is this? Can you eat sweet words?

"That's good enough. Well, it's New Year's Day, so I might as well get some sleep tonight without having to take care of the kids."

As soon as I entered the room, I added coal and the room became warm in a short while.

After living her whole life, is it possible for Chen Lina not to see through men's little thoughts? Of course she can.

He washed his face, brushed his teeth and washed his feet, and went in and out of the small warehouse three times. The last time, Chen Lina caught him blowing up a balloon.

After blowing the bell, he held his breath, stood there and listened attentively, probably to check if there was any leak.

He was wearing a navy blue liberation suit, a very rustic outfit, but because he was handsome enough, he didn't look rustic at all.

However, it was probably because he kept blowing up the balloon that the children mistook the condom for a balloon.

This is simply too depressing.

Chen Lina's heart was howling with anger. With this attitude, no matter how romantic you try a hundred times, I won't agree. I'll feed you to death.

Nie Bozhao also took out the marriage certificate from the small bedroom and placed it on the sewing machine, so that if someone broke in, he would not be afraid because he had a license and could drive legally. He was very careful and cautious in doing things.

However, it is not so ridiculous now.

The most ridiculous thing was that in the last life, when Chen Lina and Nie Guozhu entered the bridal chamber, all the villagers came to make noise in the bridal chamber, and the two of them took an oath together.

Of course, there would be people eavesdropping at night, so you couldn't say a single wrong thing.

That’s not all. Someone was eavesdropping in the room. Chen Lina and Nie Guozhu didn’t notice. Nie Guozhu whispered, “I think Lin Biao is a traitor. He smiles like a thief.”

The next day, someone reported this statement and a member of the "Five Red Categories" was arrested and locked up in a cowshed for half a year.

Thinking about my last life, this life is simply a blessing.

Each of them had a quilt, his was the smaller one and Chen Lina's was the larger one. They each occupied one side of the big kang. I don't know why, but the kang was not warm at all today.

"Laonie, can you come down and take a look? Is it because the coal we put in is dead or the flue is blocked? Why am I so cold?"

"I'm cold too. Go and see for yourself if you want to."

Chen Lina turned over and slept for a long time. The fire was burning very brightly. It was really strange. Usually, the family was crowded together and they would sweat all over in the middle of the night. Why was it so cold today?

Maybe it’s because there’s no Sandan’s small stove, Chen Lina thought, well, I’d better go to sleep.

As a result, she felt colder and colder as she slept, and she couldn't fall asleep until at least eleven o'clock at night.

"Why, you want it too?" In the darkness, Chen Lina heard a clanging sound and immediately began to struggle, "Old Nie, you are so brave, I haven't promised you yet."

With a swish sound, she fastened his hands with belts, and then pulled them again. He should have tied the belts to the large cabinet at the head of the kang.

It was a large cabinet made of solid wood and very stylish. Chen Lina wanted to struggle, but with a bang, her autumn pants were torn off.

Chen Lina was amused and angry at the same time. "I'm telling you, you didn't do the proposal I wanted. I asked you what to call me, but you didn't know. If you continue like this, I will get a divorce from you tomorrow."

"In our old society, the prince consort was to be ridden by others, but in the West, the princess was to be conquered by knights. The Qing Dynasty died long ago, and now it is the Republic, a society where the people are the masters of their own destiny. You say you are a princess, and I will treat you as a princess, but I am not your prince consort. I am a knight who has come to conquer you..." He panted twice, and suddenly his voice became hoarse. "Miss Chen, I am not worse than that apricot tree fork, am I?"

Chen Lina immediately softened and stopped struggling.

Well, the first time he met her in his last life, he called her Miss Chen.

The spring breeze of reform was blowing everywhere, and she had a large number of suitors following her, but only he could capture her with just a call of "Miss Chen".

"Why, you're still not satisfied?"

"Don't you think this kang is going to collapse?"

"Let me ask you, who is better, me or the apricot fork?"

"You, it's okay for you, right?"

Wisps of green smoke continued to rise from the chimney outside, swirling around the ice on it. The ice melted and froze, and gradually formed huge layers of icicles.

At dawn, a voice suddenly shouted from inside the house, "Nie Bozhao, if you dare to blow up a balloon again, I will divorce you tomorrow."

The next morning, before daybreak, the two were both fast asleep when someone banged on the door.

Chen Lina didn't want to get up, so Nie Bozhao had to open the door himself.

Comrade Xiao Nie looked aggrieved. He held Sandan'er's hand, looked up at his father, and said quietly, "I knew you would be here."

As usual, I got up early to cook porridge. There were many fried dough twists and Sanzi for the Spring Festival, but the children were tired of them and wanted to eat spring cakes. Chen Lina had a sore back, so she kneaded the dough, rubbed it in water, and washed it to make spring cakes.

"Mom, my dad is very diligent today. He is sweeping the kang." Erdan went in and out. Seeing his father staring at the kang thoughtfully, he asked curiously, "Dad, what are you looking at?"

"Mom, my dad is always staring at our kang." After all, Nie Bozhao always stares at books, and the child is very curious when he doesn't read for a day.

Chen Lina lit the stove, watched the water boil, and then put the small flat-bottomed aluminum pot into the big pot. She frowned and said, "Then tell him that it's not there, and he won't see it even if he looks at it a hundred times."

Erdan still had the peanuts he got from the district chief's house yesterday in his mouth. He staggered into the bedroom and said, "Dad, my mom said no, she didn't see it even after checking a hundred times. But are you looking for money?"

Nie Bozhao was quite embarrassed and gave his son a dime, "I picked it up from the kang. I'll give it to you as a New Year's gift."

"Wow, one dime. Brother, I have one dime. Let's go buy some melon seeds." During the New Year holidays, the supply and marketing cooperative specially sent people to drive tricycles, bringing sesame melon seeds and candies to the base to sell.

The children took the New Year's money, either five cents or ten cents, and of course they bought candies and melon seeds.

A bag of sesame seeds or melon seeds, no more than a handful at most, cost five cents or ten cents to buy two bags. The two older ones ran away, and Sandan, with his short legs, chased them hard from behind.

The porridge was cooked, the cold vegetables were mixed, and the rolls were served on the table. Chen Lina deliberately picked up a thin piece of roll and poked it with her finger. "It's broken. What? Do you still want to eat it?"

"I don't care about that at all. All I know is that I'm much better than your fork in the almond tree."

"You said that, which proves that you still care about me. Let me tell you, if you really care, we can get a divorce right now, and I won't even frown."

"No, I don't care at all. Don't disbelieve me." Nie Bozhao raised his right hand and clenched his fist, the standard hand ornament when taking the oath of joining the party. "I promise the leaders that I don't care. But when my father-in-law and mother-in-law come, I must tell them to remember to cut the apricot tree fork for me."

"What are you cutting it for?"

"For firewood."

"Let's get down to business. When will you write to the governor to ask for the person? I know the governor is a good friend of your father. If you want, you will definitely be able to get the person."

"That manager, you must do it?"

"It has to be done."

"Then you wait a minute, I will write it today. But if I can't finish it..." said Nie Bozhao.

"Don't worry, I can."

Nie Bozhao smiled and thought to himself, this Comrade Chen is really capable.

Turning back into the study, he pulled out his address book, from the relatives and friends his father knew when he was a child, to his classmates in high school and college. He noted down each person's mailing address, zip code, and current occupation and job.

If Chen Lina was really a Soviet revisionist or a European or American spy, Comrade Lao Nie would have known everything except the core secrets of the laboratory.

There was another intensive gathering in the afternoon and then we were rushed to the desert for military training.

It is said that some European and American leaders are going to visit the Republic secretly, fearing that the Soviet Union will make unusual moves at this time. After all, there are millions of troops stationed on the border between the two countries.

Chen Lina is well-versed in history and of course knows that these situations are temporary. Soon, international relations will be reorganized, the hat-removal operation will begin, and her spring will soon be here.

"Mom, Goudan already has two cents as his annual bonus, can you give me another ten cents?" It was the first time that Erdan used money to buy something, and he got addicted to it, so he asked outside the window.

The sewing machine made a clattering sound. Chen Lina said, "No, and look at your dirty hands. How did they become so dirty? Tell me, how many candies did you eat today?"

"I'm telling you, a good mother won't ask her child how many candies she ate."

"Eating too much sugar will cause tooth decay. Don't say I didn't warn you. Besides, I'm a bad mother." Chen Lina said. She wanted to get a pair of scissors, but her back and waist were sore and she was too lazy to move, so she said, "Erdan, bring me the scissors on the windowsill."

'You give me the money, and I'll take it for you. "Oh, you can negotiate now."

Chen Lina stood up, took the scissors, and started cutting. The boy sneaked into the bedroom and groped on the kang with his hands.

He studied well for three years and studied badly for three days. His father only gave him ten cents in the morning. Now he has learned to find money by himself on the kang.

Unable to find it, the young guy stared at the row of large cabinets at the head of the kang, looking thoughtfully.

Mom is actually very rich. The cost of raising the three of them is thirty yuan a month, and Dad makes a lot more. Everyone says that their family is the richest in the base.

Candies, melon seeds, and small balloons that can be blown up.

Erdan and Nie Weimin are going to be gangsters in the future. No matter it is because of their education or their nature, Chen Lina's goal in life is to never let them harm the society or Nie Bozhao's reputation, even if it means breaking or cutting them off.

"Oh, I'm really upset." Chen Lina suddenly said, and Erdan's eyes immediately turned to her. "What's wrong, Mom?"

"When I saw the scissors, I thought of Secretary Ah's grandmother. It is said that because she stole money when she was a child, her mother cut off three of her fingers. Now she only has two left."

"Mom, I absolutely will not steal your money." Erdan looked at his chubby little fingers and imagined if three of them were cut off and only two were left, how would he grab candies and fruits? He would definitely have to grab much less.

Nie Weimin went outside for a run and came home covered in dirt and sweat. He patted himself dry outside the window, came in, picked up the small coal bucket, and went to pick up coal.

"You are lying to the kids again, Comrade Chen. Erdan will take it seriously." said the young man.

Chen Lina stopped and looked at the fake deep Nie Weimin with interest. "How could I lie to him? If anyone dares to steal my money, I will cut his fingers with a pair of big scissors. But why are you so diligent today?"

"Isn't it because you need to rest?" Nie Weimin looked frightened and cold as if he had been deceived.

This, is this still a child?
