Chapter 99

Let's go

I cooked a big bag of tea eggs and baked a lot of soft cakes, but the car still didn't come.

There was no other way. Chen Lina thought about it and was afraid that she wouldn't have enough to eat on the way, so she kneaded another pot of noodles and started frying twisted dough sticks.

"Can we do less? We are just going to Turpan for a trip. We can drive for a day and play there for a day.

Erdan said, "Mom, I can eat all the way without stopping. I guarantee I'll finish it."

"But in this case, when the Chinese New Year comes, will we have nothing good to eat?" Sandaner thought the longest.

"This year's farm harvest is better than last year, and we have more land. What we are most worried about now is that there will be no one to plant. In the future, we will have food from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, and we can eat as much fried dough twist as we want," said Chen Lina.

After saying that, she shook her head again and said, "Oh no, I've become an annoying housewife. Only an annoying housewife would cook all day and be hated by others."

"No, Mom, you are the most beautiful, I love you, and I will marry you when I grow up." Sandaner immediately came up with the most touching love words.

Nie Weimin was disgusted with him. "Do you understand? She has already married your father and will not marry you again."

"No, Dad should marry his mother, or his grandmother."

"You are such a fool, Comrade Xiao Chen. If he continues like this, he will have mental problems."

"Yes, he will probably become a mama's boy, a man who only listens to his mother and still thinks of himself as a baby at the age of 30. So, don't feed him anymore, don't carry him anymore, let him eat and run by himself, do you understand, Nie Weimin?"

"Manager Chen, are you frying fried dough twists?" The person who spoke was Wang Geming. Wow, she actually came to my house.

"It is said that when frying fried dough twists, no outsiders are allowed to enter the house, because the twists will break if they enter. Principal Wang, I will not invite you in." Chen Lina said.

"Well, Director Chen, I didn't come to your house for nothing. I have two things to tell you. First, about Xiaohong, I heard that your sister is going to return her to an orphanage, so I want to adopt her. Of course, I am not adopting a child without conditions. My own children don't even have enough food to eat, so why should I adopt someone else's? I have a condition, which is that Minmin and Yuan Hua should really get divorced. You said Yuan Hua has habitual abortions, which we really can't accept. We can't let the He family die with Minmin's generation." Wang Revolution said.

"Oh, you mean, you adopt Liu Xiaohong's child and let her be your family's nanny, and then you are willing to let Yuan Hua and He Min continue to stay married, right?"

"Really?"

"Does Liu Xiaohong look like a little nanny to you?" Chen Lina asked back.

Wang Geming said, "It's not like she's a nanny. She's going to be Eleven's daughter, so someone has to adopt her. Minmin likes her very much, and my son Junqiang thinks it's good to have a sister, so let's adopt her."

Before Chen Lina could say anything, she suddenly heard the study door open and Nie Bozhao came out.

"He Min likes the child, so you should adopt him. Principal Wang, go and call He Min over. I'll ask him about this."

When Wang Geming heard this, he thought it was a normal thing. His son happened to be on vacation at home today, so he called him over soon.

He Min was quite happy, and introduced to Nie Bozhao, "Nie Gong, your sister has a prolapsed uterus. The doctor said that she can't bend her waist or move violently. So, if there is no nanny to take care of her, I really can't live with her."

Nie Bozhao didn't say anything, he just dragged He Min into the study.

"Why, those beautiful girls in the plastic factory haven't gotten enough sleep yet, so you're planning to target underage children?" Nie Bozhao said straight to the point.

He Min almost jumped up and said, "Bo Zhao, you can't say such nonsense. Our family just adopted a child. You, you deserve to be shot for saying such a thing."

Before he could finish his words, Nie Bozhao took out a gun from under the desk, put it against his head, opened the safety, and pulled the trigger. Before he pulled the trigger, He Min was unable to raise his hands in surrender.

"Divorce my cousin now, otherwise the next one will be loaded with bullets, get out of here," said Nie Gong.

"Divorce, let's get divorced. I tell you, I won't give her anything, including my son, money, and house." He Min was both angry and scared. She always felt that the belt was loose, so she kept pulling it up.

The mother and son, Wang Geming, ran away at that time.

"Why, you are a little too crazy. Wang Geming wanted to adopt Liu Xiaohong. I guess he just wanted to add a free babysitter to his family. Anyone can accuse him of sexually assaulting a child. Weimin is a big shot. You can't keep saying such things in front of him."

"Before Mr. Song, I had never thought about this kind of thing. After Mr. Song, I get angry when I see this kind of man. I wish I could send them all to jail."

The worker, who is full of a sense of justice, gets angry when he walks on the street, even if he sees his father or his cousin who is a little older than him.

A laborer who doesn't have a girlfriend probably also wants to have one.

But Chen Lili frightened him, and he said, "Fortunately you are infertile, fortunately, Comrade Chen, we, the four Nie family, feel so ashamed of you, but I promise that if anyone dares not to respect you when you are old, I will shoot them with one shot."

Chen Lina rolled her eyes at him and said, "You big jerk, even if I can't have children, you can't be so blunt. Just say, 'Baby, I really want you to give me another child. If not, let's check your body.' If you say that, will you die?"

"Isn't that a lie?"

"Marriage requires sweet words, but aren't sweet words just lies? I'd be happy if you could say more."

"I won't go against my conscience and my heart as an international communist fighter, but I think a marriage of mutual honesty will be safer, what do you think?" Nie Gong said, and then he thought Xiao Chen didn't want to hear this, so he quickly added, "If you still like to watch porn, I won't destroy it. You can watch it anytime you want, and I'll accompany you."

"Get lost." Xiao Chen was originally furious, but his last sentence made him laugh.

"Mom, mom, the car is coming, wow!" Erdan looked at the car parked on the side of the road with his mouth wide open.

"Hey, this looks like a Beijing Jeep, but why doesn't it look like one?"

Staff Officer Yu got out of the car, threw the car key to Chen Lina, pointed at the military license plate and said, "This is made by our Nie Gong at the motorcycle factory using a Mercedes-Benz engine, and a gearbox and shift lever bought on the black market. I hammered the iron sheet myself. It's very sturdy. I've already driven it over 3,000 kilometers in the Gobi Desert. The car is fine, and I'm officially handing it over to Director Chen today."

You know, in this year, the supply of Beijing Jeep is in short supply, but in the whole country, the recorded production volume is only 5,000. Therefore, the armed forces of major military regions, out of their crazy love for cars, risked being shot to make cars, and fake Jeeps were popular.

Lao Nie was willing to go to the motorcycle factory to get motorcycle parts, not to mention gold, airplanes and cannons. As long as he wanted, Gao Dayong could get it for him.

Chen Lina took the key and looked at the tires first. They were snow tires and the anti-skid chains had been fastened. Well, this journey would be fun because it was a new car.

"I don't know if Mr. Nie has told you that this car has a military license plate, but it's also a fake one. Logically, no one will check it. But if someone checks it, you can't stop the car. You must not stop the car. Also, if you really stop the car and get caught, you must keep your mouth shut and wait for us to rescue you."

"If the problem is so serious, why didn't you tell us earlier?" Nie Gong said it lightly and simply, but from the staff officer's tone, Chen Lina felt that this was not a simple matter.

"I still have three children to take care of. If you had said this earlier, I wouldn't have stopped taking care of them," said Chen Lina.

"I'm talking about the worst possible outcome. The laborer must have his own plans for taking care of the child. Anyway, Director Chen, who refuses to admit defeat, should just follow me closely when the time comes."

When Chen Lina encouraged her three sons to carry their belongings and get on the bus, she was stunned.

The trunk she imagined was not a trunk. No, no, this car had two seats in the front and no seats in the back. It looked more like a machine room.

The computer room was filled with all kinds of radio equipment, with only a few small wooden chairs at the back for people to sit on.

"This car is really full of the characteristics of the times. Well, it seems that the food needs to be put in a big bowl, and you can eat as you need it. Carry your thermos and your own military water bottles. Who will sit in the front? Erdan, you sit in the front."

Erdan has some kind of magical power. The workers call him sulfuric acid hand. As long as his hands touch something, the sheath will catch fire, the wires will short-circuit, and the springs on the wire bed will suddenly pop out.

If he sat in the back, even if he didn't move, Chen Lina felt that all the radio equipment would burn up just based on its own magnetic field.

"Dad, is this a military radar? Can I go in and touch it?"

There was a guardrail between where the children sat. The laborer patted my son on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, come in and help me."

Comrade Xiao Nie was so excited that he slipped past in a flash.

"Mom, do you want to have some fried dough twist?" Nie Weiguo was sitting in the front, eating a lot all the way.

"No, Mom never eats while she's driving."

"Aren't you sleepy?"

"No, as long as mom holds the steering wheel, she will drive more and more enthusiastically," said Chen Lina.

After leaving the mining area, the armed forces team guided us. Nie Gong pointed the way and Chen Lina drove the car, and we really took the route to the Turpan Basin.

"Mom, what is this thing my dad is playing with? It just makes a beeping sound, and it smells really bad."

Carrying a set of military radar, it really smells like engine oil. Fortunately, the vehicle can generate electricity by itself, otherwise, it would be very uncomfortable to carry a backup generator that keeps buzzing.

"Let me sing a song for you, Mom. How about I sing 'I Give Oil to the Motherland' for you?"

"No, no, just eat. Mom doesn't want to listen to music right now."

"Erdan, can you please shut up and stop interfering with our work?" Nie Weimin said.

Listening to the radio, long waves and short waves, is indeed chaotic. It is really difficult for Nie Gong to find the band he wants from the countless long waves and short waves. As for little Nie, it was his first time to monitor the wireless radio, and he was fascinated by it, probably because of his genetic nature.

"No, Mom wants to play a game of Frozen Man today. It's a competition to see who can remain silent for the longest time. The person who speaks first loses." Chen Lina said.

Well, the two kids finally shut up.

In the borderland in winter, there is nothing but snow and mountains. We followed the lane opened by the armed forces in front. The car was good, but the road conditions were not good. After a while, a big rock hit Sandan in the back and the whole car crashed.

"I should leave all three of them at Chen Gong's house. Taking the children out will interfere with my work." After a while, Nie Gong said.

"Dad lost, so he spoke first." Sandaner said first.

"Okay, then punish him by not allowing him to eat during the journey." Chen Lina said immediately.

Well, this frozen man game worked very well. After a long time, Erdan ate his fill and fell into a deep sleep, Sandan stared out the window, and the laborer and the little laborer were concentrating on their work.

By the time we arrived in Turpan, it was already dark. The two children were still sleeping, while the laborer and the young laborer were still calm and focused.

"Dad, you're wrong. Even if you don't take the two kids with you, you should at least take me with you. I've helped you a lot, haven't I?" Nie Weimin was still upset about his father's rejection of him just now.

"Yes, yes, you did help me a lot. But look, Xiao Chen, isn't that Chief of Staff Yu's car? Stop it. I think there's something new going on."

Sure enough, the convoy led by Chief of Staff Yu was parked in front.

It was hot in the car, so the laborer, who had been working in a sweater, opened the trunk and prepared to get out.

"Hey, put on your clothes."

"It's just for a while. You won't be cold."

"I'm afraid that the patches on your body will be exposed and make people laugh at you." A woolen sweater with several layers of patches on it.

"If you were afraid of being laughed at, you should have woven two more coats for us. It's not like you don't have sheep on your farm and produce so much wool, but you don't even keep some of it and hand it all over to the mining area. You're not such a simple-minded person." The worker said as he took his woolen coat.

A woolen coat that I have worn for seven or eight years. It is really useful in the frontier.

"Nie Gong, you don't understand. Since the trouble has begun, the farm belongs to me. What's more, in the future, I will not only manage the farm well, but also open a textile factory and a clothing factory. Just wait, sooner or later, I will make all four of you wear the most handsome suits made in my own factory. However, I can't let anyone catch me now. I have to be tough and take over what belongs to me," she said.

"Aren't you going to kick Erdan and me into the Baiyang River?" Nie Weimin slipped over from behind. He hadn't eaten anything all day and was still picky. He didn't like eggs and thought the cakes were cold. In the end, he picked a big apple and ate it with some fried dough twists.

The food he chooses is always fine.

"A couple, no matter how loving they are, will want to divorce a hundred times in their lifetime, and want to kill each other two hundred times. The same is true for parents and children. I'll tell you the truth. When I first went to the district government to pick you up, I found a shrapnel in your hair. Nie Weimin, if you came out of my belly, I would have thrown you into the trash can at that time. Whoever wants to pick you up can pick you up. Anyway, I don't want you anymore."

"But children will always make mistakes. Didn't you say that people grow through mistakes?"

"Some mistakes can be forgiven, for example, you stuffed bricks into the chimney of Wang the Revolutionary's house. That can be forgiven. But the educational method she brought, where you get extra points for being obedient and deduct points for being disobedient, and where you don't judge by grades, is wrong. It's normal for you to vent your anger. But endangering your own life is absolutely unforgivable."

"If I had known you would keep talking about this for nearly a year, I shouldn't have gone."

"You're right to think so," said Chen Lina.

The laborer came back and said, "No, we have to keep going. This place is too far away. The radar won't work. We have to cross the province." The laborer said, looking at the two little ones who were still sleeping soundly, and asked, "Can you still drive?"

"Why not? If I were born in a war-torn era, I tell you, I, Chen Lina, would be a female general, no worse than the one who died in Wenduerhan."

"That one isn't known for her physical strength. She plays with her mind."

"As for playing tricks, I'm no worse than them."

"Okay, I have to be thankful that I'm just an engineer and not a politician, otherwise it would be you who would be shot down from the sky today," said Nie Gong.

"Get in the car, let's keep going."

After putting some distance between them and the convoy in front, Nie Gong spread his woolen coat on the floor of the car and put the two children to sleep together. Then he covered them with Chen Lina's cotton coat. Little Nie was still studying radio in the back. He sat next to Chen Lina, and they fed each other while they ate. After driving a thousand kilometers, they would have to drive about another thousand kilometers before they could leave the autonomous region and cross to another province.

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

Chen Lina sang quietly, and Nie Gong sat beside her and listened. He praised, "The lyrics are really well written. No wonder Wei Guo likes it."

To be honest, people living in the coastal areas or the southwest really have no idea of ​​the territory of their motherland unless they go to the border.

Of course, only by driving on this journey can you understand how vast and broad this country is.

And, the white snow covered the earth, the mountains were silvery undulating in the night, and the flat road without any cars was so gentle.

And all of this belongs to every citizen of the Republic.
