Chapter 51
Puppy showing off
"The coming of Chen Lina really has nothing to do with you, right?" Sun Dabao came out after the meeting, stared at Liu Xiaohong coldly, and began to interrogate her.
Liu Xiaohong quickly shook her head and said, "No, I didn't even know they were in the same car with me."
"Didn't they say they were here for a trip? I saw them take their kids to the Devil City, but why didn't your brother-in-law come with them? Is this a problem?" Sun Xiaoai said, grabbing Liu Xiaohong's ears. "Tell me the truth, little girl. Did you say anything to Nie Weimin on the way?"
The woman who brought Liu Xiaohong said quickly, "No, we really didn't say a word in the car. After all, the car was crowded, and we communicated in Russian, which no one could understand."
Sun Xiaoai then asked Sun Dabao, "What do you think we should do? Those little ones are your nephews. Can't we just take them away together?"
"Then take them all away. Anyway, they have already entered Loulan Farm and there is no way they can go back," said Sun Dabao.
"But their arrival proves that Nie Gong already knows about this. He will definitely report the matter to the mining area's armed forces department. I'm afraid we have to act in advance, right?" Sun Xiaoai said.
Sun Dabao stamped his feet and said, "That's it. I'll quickly find a way to get the security team drunk, and then we'll leave immediately."
However, Liu Xiaohong soon used her stomachache to coax Liu Han out.
When they were not far from Gou Ercai's house, she said, "Dad, it's actually Aunt Chen who wants to see you. I'll take you to the cave where they live, okay?"
Just now, Sun Dabao personally visited Gou Ercai's house, but did not come in.
At night, there are security guards on duty at the front and back of the farm. Unless you break through the gate, you can't escape.
Moreover, if he wanted to act in advance, he had to get the director drunk in advance. He was busy getting Director Guo drunk. He called Sun Xiaoai and asked her to keep an eye on this den and prevent Chen Lina from inciting others to rebel. Then he went to drink with the director.
After a while, Liu Han came quietly.
"Back then, you helped Sun Xiaoai resell Russian goods at the base. There were propaganda materials that were corrupt. Comrade Liu Han, Lao Nie saved you once, so the military didn't shoot you as Soviet revisionists. Today, are you going to escape brazenly?"
With a righteous look, Chen Lina asked.
Liu Han, with his untidy beard and smelly clothes, was also helpless. "Comrade Chen, you are now the director of Mulan Farm. I have to call you Director Chen, right? You people with jobs and power don't know the hardships of us labor reform prisoners. We don't have enough food to eat, Director Chen."
Turning around and taking out two Wo Wo Tou from her bag, Chen Lina said, "I am not full either. My family has been eating Wo Wo Tou for a long time. But I am now improving our grain varieties. I believe that the wheat production of our farm can double this year.
You are just a labor reform prisoner. If you reform your thoughts and character, you can eat our steamed buns made from new wheat in the autumn harvest. If you really dare to risk your life to cross the border, I will slap you in the face with actual numbers. Of those who crossed the border in the 1960s, 60,000 people left, but only 30,000 escaped to the Soviet Union. What do you think is the chance of you escaping and surviving?"
"I don't ask for myself to go, I just ask for Xiaohong to go safely."
"She is at Base No. 1. I give her three dollars a month. That's from my salary. Xiaogang is still working in the boiler room. He gets five dollars a month. If we don't have enough to eat, we all have to eat together. Xiaohong, let me ask you, have you ever been hungry?"
"No, Aunt Chen has been secretly supporting me and my brother." Liu Xiaohong said loudly.
Liu Han hesitated a bit, clenched his hands, and said, "But, my love..."
Speak of the devil and he will appear. The wooden door of the cave was pushed open, and under the candle was a woman wearing a red otter leather coat. She was the one who escaped from Base No. 1, the real Su Xiu, Sun Xiaoai.
"Director Chen, don't try to convince us. I tell you, the Soviet Union is a paradise. We have to go. As for you, if you want to go with us, we can leave all the past together. But if you want us to stay, that's impossible. We will not stay in this farm and suffer any more. As for you saying that it is difficult to cross the border, let me tell you, the Soviet Union welcomes us."
She is now afraid that Chen Lina is going to incite Liu Han to rebel, so she wants to reassure Liu Han.
Those who really wanted to escape took advantage of the kindness and love for the people of the Republican soldiers. They knew that the soldiers loved their children, so they used the children as shields from bullets.
Chen Lina slapped him and said, "Bah, you are lazy and want to wear a fur coat and eat Russian sausages every day. A military officer with great political prospects was shot for smuggling these for you. Now you want to harm Liu Gong. You know what is on the border of Kizilgarh better than anyone else, and you actually use these things to numb them. Liu Han, let me tell you, in the desert, the soldiers of the Republic can't see what is on your green tarpaulin trucks. Sun Xiaoai knows more about military operations than you do. The machine gun will be raised when seeing children.
However, bombers in the sky don't have eyes, and your trucks are very conspicuous targets in the desert. If a bomb falls, do you think anyone in the truck can survive?"
Sun Xiaoai wanted to hide again, but Chen Lina slapped her again and said, "Besides, Sun Xiaoai herself never thought about escaping. She just wanted to sell the heads and keep the money for herself."
"Sun Xiaoai, you really don't mean to go with us. Didn't you say that you won't beat the child from now on, and we will do business in Suzhou and raise the child together?" Liu Han immediately side-eyed her.
Sun Xiaoai took a few steps back and shook her head quickly, "Let's go. Why don't I go with you? Of course we should go together. Don't listen to Chen Lina."
"Liu Han, if you don't believe me, I suggest you go back and look through her bag and her money. Since we are here, you must have made some moves in advance, thinking you are leaving right away. Go and check to see if the money you saved for yourself is still in your bag."
People like Sun Xiaoai are very cunning.
Moreover, she had witnessed the cruelty on the border. Chen Lina was certain that she would send people out, but she herself would definitely not run away. After all, as a spy, if she really ran to the Soviet Union, she would be of no value, right?
When Sun Xiaoai turned around and tried to run, she saw Nie Weimin staring at her angrily, "Get to the corner."
"Hey, you little brat, why are you talking to an adult? What are you doing..." Sun Xiaohong reached out, but before she hit the child, Nie Weimin suddenly jumped up and hit him. With a cry of "ouch", Sun Xiaoai covered his chest and fell down.
Oh my god, the puppy was showing off and he bumped into her chest. It was so painful.
Liu Han had actually hesitated at this time. After thinking for a while, he kicked Sun Xiaoai twice, untied his shoelaces, tied Sun Xiaoai to the bed rails in the cave, and ran back home to look through his luggage.
You know, he could also get benefits from collecting the head fee. He was thinking that in case he couldn't escape, he could use his body to protect the lady and use the money for her. But what if that slut Sun Xiaoai really stole it, wouldn't he have died in vain?
"Nie Weimin, let me ask you, where did you learn this way of beating people?" Chen Lina asked with a look of disbelief as she chased after Comrade Nie.
"Your son and his uncle Sun Dabao are both black-hearted and black-lung people. Ouch, my breasts hurt." Sun Xiaoai was tied to the head of the bed and was whimpering there.
"If you don't want to eat my stinky socks, shut up now." Chen Lina raised her feet, and Sun Xiaoai shut up.
Nie Weimin was quite proud. "Let me tell you, Comrade Xiao Chen, I know how to defeat not only women, but men as well. So, if you let me go to see my uncle, I will defeat him too."
"How do you put it down?"
"Women's weaknesses are in their breasts, and men's weaknesses are in their crotches. I've known this for a long time."
"Nie Weimin, how old are you? Are you addicted to beating people? I'm asking you this. Recently, I've heard the families at the base say that you're a bully, and your voice is much louder than before. I think it was a mistake when I said I'd take care of you if you hit someone. I'm going to take it back. If you dare to hit someone again, I'll give you a slap in the face."
This gangster boss must be sent to school as soon as possible, otherwise he will be on the wrong path in his life.
"Okay, Comrade Xiao Chen, I remember what Uncle Lei Feng said: treat comrades as warmly as you would spring, and treat enemies as cruelly as the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. Is that enough?" Nie Weimin looked as if he didn't feel he was wrong at all.
But soon, in front of Erdan and Sandan, he received a very hot slap on his little butt.
"If I see you hitting someone with your head again, I'll give you a slap in the face."
"Brother got beaten, hehe." Sandan was laughing, and Erdan was also shouting, "Brother will definitely say it doesn't hurt, hehe, it doesn't hurt."
In the corner, Liu Xiaohong was also covering her face and laughing secretly.
Nie Weimin's face suddenly turned red, and he suddenly threw himself into Chen Lina's arms. This was so embarrassing that he was too embarrassed to see anyone.
"This bitch actually stole all the money I had hidden. She never wanted to go with us at all." As soon as Liu Han entered the room, he wanted to kick Sun Xiaoai, but was stopped by Chen Lina.
"Now is not the time to hit her. Let me ask you, has Sun Dabao already planned to take people away?" Chen Lina asked Liu Han.
Liu Han said, "He was drinking with Director Guo and the security team. He should leave after drinking, but I won't leave. I regret it. I want to stay and reform myself, and strive to return to the base to drive a car one day."
"I didn't come here just to keep you here. There are indeed prisoners on the farm, and there are also many who are guilty of heinous crimes and should be imprisoned.
However, even if they are prisoners in prison reform, they cannot be released, and they must spend the rest of their lives in prison on the land of the Republic.
Instead of going to the Soviet Union to bring shame to our Republic, so it's just a small matter that you don't leave, you have to leave everyone behind."
Liu Han was simply stunned. "Director Chen, do you know how many people are trying to escape? There are more than 200 people in the two production teams, plus nearly 200 prisoners, which adds up to more than 400 people. If I go out and try to convince any of them, as long as Sun Dabao hears about it, he will let those prisoners beat me into a meat pie."
"It takes a total of one and a half hours to get from Umayyad to the mining area. My husband Nie will bring people from the armed forces. When he arrives, these people will of course be surrounded. But now, what you have to do is to keep them."
"Director Chen, I told you I can't keep them here."
"You don't, but I do," said Chen Lina.
Nie Weimin jumped over again, looking like a little adult, "My mom wants to tell you that as a truck driver, you are the one who controls the engine. You may not be able to stop people, but you can stop the car."
"Nieh Weimin."
"Um?"
"Okay, tell your Uncle Liu."
If no one beats this little bastard with a stick, he will definitely grow up to be a gangster. He has an incomparable talent in this regard. He is too smart and understands things very quickly.
Nie Weimin pretended to use a hose and said, "Sun Dabao is out drinking, and everyone else should be busy at home preparing things. The garage is unattended. The fuel tanks of the trucks you are going to use for escape are exposed. Uncle Liu, you just need to take a hose into the garage and suck out all the fuel. I guarantee that none of the trucks will be able to leave the gate of Loulan Farm."
"Good boy, how do you know all this?"
"I follow my mother every day and study. She is a racing driver." Nie Weimin was very proud. He gave away all the boasts that Chen Lina made to him.
Chen Lina said, "I have to add that you have to give me the key to your big truck. I want to drive the kids out, and let me suck up all the gas, turning these gas guzzlers into paper tigers."
"Ah, Comrade Xiao Chen, shouldn't we stay here and wait for Dad to come?"
"Come on, you still want to be a little hero? Hurry up, follow me, follow Uncle Liu, let's go together. My responsibility is to take good care of you, not to be a hero here."
Well, Liu Han did what he said. He came over, shook Chen Lina's hand tightly, and said, "Go to the leader of the mining area. I hope Director Chen can say a few good words for me. From now on, I will seriously reform myself and never bring shame to our farm or mining area."
"Okay, let's go."
"What should we do with Mrs. Yao from Zhang County?" Liu Xiaohong asked, holding Chen Lina's hand.
Chen Lina looked and saw that Sun Xiaoai was still tied to the bed. The Gou brothers were next door, and Gou's second wife might come over at any time. If she saw Sun Xiaoai tied up, she would definitely untie her.
But if we take Sun Xiaoai with us, it will be a big trouble if she struggles or runs away to inform others.
After thinking about it, Chen Lina said, "Okay, Liu Han, you go first. The children and I will stay here to look after Sun Xiaoai. You can empty the mailboxes in the other cars and then come pick us up. My husband Nie should be on his way, so don't worry."
She didn't know what time it was. In fact, she was quite anxious because she didn't even have a watch. She didn't know what time it was. Had Nie Bozhao already informed the military of the matter, or could the armed forces of the mining area handle it alone?
As for Sun Xiaoai, of course this woman cannot be taken away, but keeping her would also be a disaster.
Chen Lina's eyes rolled and she became ruthless.
"Old Nie, you intellectuals have never handled a gun, right? Take a hunting rifle loaded with sand bullets. I'm afraid the recoil force of the Type 54 rifle is too strong and you won't be able to hold it." Gao Dayong, director of the mining area's armed forces department, said as he handed a hunting rifle loaded with sand bullets to Nie Bozhao.
Nie Bozhao didn't take it. He picked up a Type 54 from the table, weighed it, took off his black-framed glasses, wiped them clean with a glasses cloth, put them back on, smiled and said, "Minister Gao, I always win the disassembly and assembly competition of the temporary operations department of our base. How about we have a competition?"
Just then, Chief of Staff Yu from the Armed Forces Department was also fully equipped, and came in with a few comrades. When they saw that the two were going to compete in disassembly and assembly, they dispersed. Some people even started to watch, "I'll start when I say three, two, one. Use a stopwatch. The loser will lead the dance for everyone after the mission is completed tonight."
"No, no, I'm going to lose, so I'll dance for everyone. Minister Gao is going to lose, and I have other requests, but I won't mention them now. If he dares to compete with me, I will make requests after I win."
When the scholar entered the company, this well-mannered engineer looked like a fool.
Minister Gao didn't think that someone like Lao Nie, whose glasses couldn't even be stable, could beat him, so he waved his hand and said, "You just want my family. As long as you can win, I'll give it to you. Come on."
Both of them held guns at the same time and counted down to three, two, one while they lowered their heads to disassemble the guns. At 25 seconds, Nie Bozhao took the lead and placed the complete gun on the table, but Gao Dayong was not much behind, being only one second slower than him.
"Okay, let's go. I lost. Old Nie, if you have any requests, just tell me."
