Chapter 59

Classmates were arrested

It was almost the end of August. When the sun came out, it was extremely hot in Umayyad. The mountains in the distance looked as if they were on fire.

In the mining area, after the autumn harvest every year, various agencies and units would gather at the farm for a social gathering.

Of course, at this social gathering, the educated youth could dance and sing to their heart's content, and comrades from various government agencies could also participate.

Now is the time to show the mining area that the farm is developing and has vitality.

Leaders will naturally pay more attention to the farms when they see their development and prospects. However, if seeds are collected manually from these vast fields, even if everyone works themselves to death, they still cannot grow crops.

So, once the leaders come and are happy, the farm will be equipped with modern equipment.

Chen Lina already had a plan in her mind and had figured out how to ask her leaders for money to buy more equipment and increase production.

But He Min, who was working with her, not only refused to listen to what she said, but also insisted on having his own way, wanting to make the educated youth dance to gain political achievements.

This weekend, Chen Lina brought the three Nie Weimin brothers to the farm to pick wheat with Liu Xiaohong and the others. Of course, Chen Lina also called all the workers at Base No. 1 who were on break to come and help harvest wheat on the farm.

In her previous life, she had really worked hard in the countryside for several years. The sickle cut the wheat stalks, and they fell down in unison. She could easily pull them into bundles. The wheat cobs full of grains lay quietly, waiting for the male educated youth to pick them up and put them on the tractor to transport them back to the farm.

"Director Chen, my good director, various agencies and units will be here for exchanges soon. Can you pick a few people and let them practice a dance with us?" He Min followed behind Chen Lina and kept talking.

"Secretary He, you are the leader. You shouldn't ask me about this. Ask the educated youth instead."

"They said they didn't want to dance, they just wanted to give birth, but I think they still listened to you."

"No, they followed their own hearts. They only saw that the sun was shining and the grains were about to fall out of the shells and scatter on the ground. At this time, they only wanted to hurry and harvest the wheat, not dance."

She mowed very quickly, leaving the other female educated youth behind her far behind. The young girls were not willing to lag behind and mowed with all their might.

"Director Chen, Her Majesty the Queen, Miss Chen?" He Min was so anxious that she jumped up and down. She bent down beside Chen Lina and lowered her voice with a hint of flattery. "You are the queen of our farm. We all follow your lead. Just give them a word of advice. Our farm cannot fall behind in this social gathering."

Yes, it was she and a group of experts who worked day and night to build up the production, and it was the educated youth who created the benefits.

Now that the new leader has taken office, he wants to sway the people with his sweet words and disrupt production. He is so slippery with his words that he calls her Miss Chen?

If Chen Lina had reported this kind of capitalist exaggeration directly to He Min, he would have been arrested and criticized.

However, there will inevitably be gossip, and I guess those bad elements in the mining area will spread a bad reputation about her.

As the first owner of the base and the manager of the farm, Chen Lina protects her reputation very much.

Moreover, she has always been a person who would make others unhappy on the spot if she is unhappy. So why would she have any nonsense to say at this time?

The sickle was waving, and the wheat fell down in batches. Director Chen, who was cutting the wheat, suddenly smiled. Hey, He Min felt something. Maybe she liked to hear him call her Queen?

Of course, women in power like to be praised.

"Your Majesty... Ouch! It hurts, it hurts..." He Min just bent down, and suddenly jumped up holding her legs like a chicken with its feet burned on the griddle.

"Oh, leader, I wasn't paying attention just now. Did I cut your foot? I didn't mean to do that. The wound looks quite deep. I'd better send a tractor to take you to the mine health center."

"Of course, how could Director Chen do that on purpose? It was my fault. I was standing in the wrong place." He Min was sweating and jumping up and down in pain, but he still had to maintain his composure.

A tractor was dispatched, and the educated youth worked together to send He Min, who had accidentally cut his leg and was injured by the farm manager, to the mining area clinic.

Chen Lina stood up and looked around. The educated youth girls behind her were all covering their lips and laughing.

Great, now we can focus on production.

"Weimin, recite 'Minnian' with daddy." Nie Bozhao was still wearing a white shirt and navy blue overalls. He also wanted to help his wife with the work, but he couldn't hold the sickle with his hands when doing the experiment, so he had to take the children to pick wheat ears.

"In spring, you plant a grain of millet, and in autumn you harvest ten thousand seeds. There is no idle land in the world, but the farmers still starve to death." Sandan memorized this so well.

But Nie Weimin did not recite the poem. He picked the wheat very carefully. "Dad, have you noticed the pattern? One wheat ear has exactly 30 grains."

"What's the problem?"

"Look at this plant. There are three shriveled spots. I heard from my mother that the experts on the farm are studying how to improve the genes and fill them up. The yield of one plant will reach 36 seeds."

This child is just like his father, methodical and serious. The ears of wheat in his small basket are arranged very neatly, in rows just like they are lined up in a queue.

Looking at Erdan who was sweating profusely, he grabbed a basket of wheat ears and dogtail grass, in which there were a few small earthworms dug out from the soil. "Dad, Sister Xiaohong said she would make me cucumber cold noodles today."

Nie Bozhao looked back and saw a little girl following them. She picked up a basket for herself and wiped Sandan'er's saliva from time to time.

"Okay, let's go to your aunt's house at noon and eat cucumber cold noodles."

At night the whole family was exhausted.

Chen Lili baked a new wheat flour pancake for each of her three children. It was soft and fluffy, with chopped green onions rolled inside, and tasted delicious and juicy.

Nie Weimin

The three brothers each took a piece of the soft and tender biscuit and ate it with fresh and crispy tomatoes. When the car was out of the farm gate, Nie Weimin suddenly slapped his head and said, "Something is wrong."

"What's up bro?"

"I remember that my aunt only made three pancakes, so Liu Xiaohong definitely had nothing to eat."

"She has oil and flour at home, so she can just make it herself."

"What do you know? A family only needs three pounds of new wheat flour. We can finish it with a bowl of cold noodles and a bowl of steamed buns. If she wants to eat, she has to wait until the wheat is stored in the warehouse and distributed." said Nie Weimin.

After thinking about it, he felt that this wouldn't work. Well, when school starts on Monday, he'll ask Erdan to give her an eraser to make it up to her. He can't take advantage of a little girl.

When they got home, all the children were full, but what Chen Lina and Nie Bozhao urgently needed was to give themselves and their three children a bath.

However, it is not very convenient to have a stranger in the house.

Hu Su said that she came to the farm to relax, but she was afraid of the sun, so she never went to the farm once. Chen Lina was very busy and Nie Bozhao was also working overtime, so she stayed at Nie's house and occasionally went to He Min's house, where she had just moved in.

"Hu Su, you've been here for several days. Don't you want to go back?" Nie Bozhao asked.

He is a grown man. If there were no outsiders around, he would have taken off his clothes and showered the children in the yard in just his shorts, and then showered himself.

Hu Su was there, he was itching like crazy, but it was difficult to wash.

Moreover, it was almost time for him to have sex once a month as he had stipulated for himself, and having an outsider around would be very troublesome.

"Bo Zhao, I didn't expect Xiao Chen and the children to welcome me so much. It's you who wants to chase me away."

"But you have children of your own. Now that your military comrades are gone, don't your children need your care even more?" Nie Bozhao then said.

Hu Su was picking vegetables in the backyard, planning to make a cold dish with tomatoes and sugar.

"Bo Zhao, I have sent my child back to my military comrade's hometown. There is someone there to take care of him. Also, there is a lot of laughter and joy in your family. I was infected by it. Here, I feel like I have been healed."

Sandan is now Chen Lina's little tail, following her wherever she goes.

As for Nie Weimin, some time ago Nie Bozhao saw that his son seemed to recognize a lot of words, so he found some fourth-grade math books to test him, only to find out that this guy was not what he had imagined. He simply taught him addition, subtraction, remainder and division, and he learned it by himself. He kept asking him about the rules of multiplying decimals by integers, as well as decimal division.

The excitement that Nie Bozhao felt when he discovered that his son was more capable than himself could probably only be compared to when Columbus discovered the New World or when Galileo discovered that the sun did not revolve around the earth.

And all of this, without any complaints, was actually the result of Chen Lina forcing him and Erdan to study every day.

A fool can't read a single word, while a smart one understands everything at once. It's like one is proud while the other is shaking his head and sighing. It's like two completely different worlds of sadness and joy.

"Xiao Chen, let Erdan eat one less bowl of rice tonight. His IQ is probably all dispersed in the fat. This can't go on." The little fat boy Nie Wei couldn't learn Chinese and couldn't write well. He looked at his mother with extremely sad eyes, pursed his lips and shook his head, not wanting to eat less.

"Okay, just like the apricot blossoms bloom early and the pear blossoms bloom late, the same tree will bloom at a different time, maybe he blooms a little later.

Besides, he is two years younger than Wei Min. Can you please not be so harsh on my son? Also, he may be a little fat when he is young, but he will be thin when he grows up. Don't worry, don't deprive the child of food and drink now, otherwise he will not be full when he is young, and he will eat out of revenge when he grows up, and that is called fat. "

The current Erdan is not really fat, he just has a rounder butt and a rounder face. He looks fatter because of the thin figure of Nie Weimin.

When I grew up, I saw a photo of myself being shot. Haha, I had a muscular body and a bandit-like face. Just looking at the photo, I could see he was full of murderous aura.

"Xiao Chen, look, I'll mix some cucumber, some cold tomatoes, and then stir-fry some spicy tomato and we'll have rice, okay?" Hu Su said in the kitchen.

Chen Lina glanced at the chopping board and saw a plate of sliced ​​tomatoes sprinkled with a layer of white sugar.

"Let's buy some more sugar tomorrow. I have used up all the white sugar. Otherwise, the persimmons will not be sweet." Hu Su said.

"Sister Hu, the amount of sugar in our mining area is fixed, two taels per person per month, and our whole family has one jin. We have run out of it this month, so we'll have some next month," said Chen Lina.

"Ah, I never thought the welfare in your mine was so poor."

"It's definitely not as good as the welfare in the military area. After all, the farms in the military area have better yields. But we will get better soon," said Chen Lina.

When they got to the table, the three children were full. Even Erdan, who usually loved to eat the most, was dissatisfied with the bland and not very fragrant dishes on the table. They were so tired that they kept dozing off. Before they finished their meal, Sandan's head was almost buried in the bowl.

Seeing that the children were not as enthusiastic as they used to be when eating the meals cooked by their mother, Hu Su said, "Erdan, come and eat. There is a lot of sugar. Don't you love sugar the most?"

Erdan, who had not completed his homework, was experiencing the greatest pain in his life. Moreover, if it were his mother, she would boil tomatoes into sauce, stir-fry sugar and oil, and eat it with spring cakes and vegetables. It would be so delicious. Unfortunately, this simple white sugar could not arouse his taste buds.

"Xiao Chen, did you know that Director He's mother will be the principal of our primary school after she arrives?" Hu Su's words aroused the enthusiasm of the couple who were struggling with their son's studies.

Nie Bozhao first said, "Oh, is she an experienced and excellent teacher in Daqing?"

"Yes, she also participated in the compilation of temporary textbooks," said Hu Su.

Nie Bozhao and Chen Lina looked at each other and had an ominous premonition at the same time.

In today's textbooks, let alone the quotations that are full of the characteristics of the times, arithmetic is okay, just ordinary arithmetic, and it is really difficult for students to learn anything in the Chinese textbook. And the words that Nie Weimin learned were all taught to him by Chen Lina using flashcards.

Okay, that's the end of this topic.

After dinner, Hu Su started talking again.

"Bo Zhao, Xiao Chen, the happy atmosphere in your family has infected me. I don't want to go back to Yili. The coldness at home is driving me crazy. From now on, why don't I stay here and be a teacher, and help take care of your children at the same time? How do you think?"

Well, Hu Su was an excellent student at an industrial university.

Being an elementary school teacher is such a waste of talent.

"Aunt Hu, we have a teacher, you should go back to Yili." Nie Weimin said directly.

Erdan woke up the people who were dozing off and said, "No, I want to eat the food my mother cooks. The food you cook is not tasty." This is too hurtful.

Sandan was more direct. He pushed the bowl and said, "Mom, I don't like this aunt."

Chen Lina was silent. Nie Bozhao took off his glasses and wiped the frames. He also said, "You are an undergraduate student. Why are you teaching elementary school students? It's a joke. I have already written to Daqing. You will be able to work there soon. Work will dilute your troubles. Go to sleep."

Nie Weimin went straight to bed, while Erdan had to finish his weekend homework, reading by lamplight at night, rubbing his eyes and crying.

Chen Lina felt sorry for him, but she didn't dare let him sleep on the kang because of his father's order. He happened to have a handful of dried apricots in his pocket that Chen Lili had packed for him. She gave him a dried apricot for every word he wrote. The two of them worked stealthily like thieves, one writing nonsense while the other did nothing. It didn't take them long to finish writing the thirty new words on the palm-sized page.

Nie Bozhao picked wheat ears all day and then went to work overtime.

Chen Lina sharpened the pencils for her two sons to use tomorrow and packed their erasers. She looked up at the calendar and suddenly realized that it was almost time for Comrade Lao Nie to pay his rations. She thought to herself that it was no wonder that he was so irritable.

That person is like a machine, but humans are not machines after all, they are living beings that are influenced by emotions and hormones. He set a deadline of one month for himself, and every time he saw the deadline, he would be extremely irritated. At this time, working overtime and getting the work done was the best way to vent.

"Comrade Xiao Chen, Comrade Xiao Chen." Suddenly, Nie Weimin half opened the door and waved to her from the bedroom.

The crotch of this guy's pants was torn, and Chen Lina couldn't find anything else to mend it, so she cut a piece of the curtain and found a sunflower, so she used it to mend it.

There is a sunflower embroidered on the crotch of the black old man's trousers in the future, which is so cute.

The little guy was shy about the sunflower and covered it with his hands. "Comrade Chen, please go to the office building."

"Why, Comrade Xiao Nie, why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night? What are you doing here?"

"That Aunt Hu had bad intentions. She said she was going to visit Uncle He's house, but I'm sure she wasn't going to Uncle He's house. She was going to the office building to see my father."

"How can you tell?"

"She also visited He's family a few days ago, but she just walked around casually. But today, she combed her hair, sprayed perfume, and changed into a pair of high heels. So she wasn't going to He's family."

"Comrade Xiao Nie!"

…

"When you grow up, you will definitely be a talent."

You know, ever since the sensational incident at Loulan Farm, the mining area has sent armed security to the two farms and Nie Bozhao's laboratory.

In other words, the comrades from the Armed Forces would stand guard outside Nie Bozhao's laboratory in three shifts for 24 hours.

After all, his work involves state secrets. If Hu Su runs there in the dark, won't he be arrested?

Chen Lina put on her clothes, closed the door, and went out. Just as she left the residential area and before she reached the office building, she saw all the comrades from the armed forces standing outside the elementary school playground, as well as members of the security team.

Well, Hu Tongxue was indeed caught red-handed by the comrades from the Armed Forces Department.
