Chapter 109109 Ding Tao was indeed surprised that the city people talked about speculation...
"Aunt Yu?"
Seeing Yu Shaofen, Ding Guo was surprised and not surprised.
After the last meeting, she had seen her hurrying by some alleys when she passed by on her bike. Although she was disguised, her temperament and the eyes hidden under the brim of her hat were not difficult to recognize. Ding Guo was not sure whether Yu Shaofen saw her or not, and she did not go over to say hello at that time.
I didn't expect Yu Shaofen to come to me again.
I don’t know if it was Ding Guo’s illusion, but compared to last time, the elegant woman in front of him seemed to have a layer of light in her eyes. Although the skin on her face was a little dry, it did not affect her energetic look at all.
"Ding Guo, I'm leaving."
Ding Guo subconsciously wanted to ask the other person where he was going, but in this special era, the other person was a person of special status, and it was not polite to ask about his whereabouts. She changed the words on her lips to: "Aunt Yu, please wait for me. I will go back and ask for leave. Let's go to the state-owned restaurant over there and order some dishes. I will prepare it for you."
Yu Shaofen was slightly startled, as if she was a little surprised that Ding Guo would think of giving her a practice. Regardless of whether Ding Guo was just being polite, she felt a little warm in her heart at this moment, and hurriedly smiled and said, "Thank you, Ding Guo, I appreciate your kindness, but there is no need for a practice. We were in a hurry when we met last time, and I didn't tell you much. My family is from the capital, and I am an educated youth sent here. There was some turmoil in my family a few years ago, but now it's over. My parents have returned to the capital, and I want to go back too."
She extended her hand to Ding Guo: "Comrade Ding Guo, I am going back with honor this time. If you go to the capital someday, you can come to the Capital Cannery to find me. I will treat you to shabu-shabu mutton."
Ding Guo was a little surprised and stretched out his hand blankly. Then he reacted and smiled with surprise: "Congratulations, Aunt Yu, this is really great, congratulations."
"Thank you!" Yu Shaofen smiled, then her eyes darkened slightly, "Ding Nianjun doesn't know my situation, and I hope you can keep it a secret for me."
Ding Guo: "She's been in Fengning these days, and should be back in the capital in a couple of days..."
Yu Shaofen smiled and said, "Even though we were face to face, we didn't have the fate of mother and daughter. It's not certain that we will meet in such a big city like Sijiu."
Ding Guo understood.
"Aunt Yu, after stepping over the thorns, the rest of your life will be prosperous. I am really happy for you. Have a safe journey!"
Yu Shaofen was infected by the bright smile on Ding Guo's face, and her smile widened unconsciously. She stepped forward and hugged Ding Guo, saying, "Thank you for your good wishes. I look forward to you coming to the capital to see me one day. Take care!"
After watching Yu Shaofen leave, Ding Guo turned around and walked back. When she passed the message room, Mr. Xiao, who was working the day shift today, called her, "Xiao Ding!"
"Mr. Xiao!"
Uncle Xiao opened the window of the message room and thrust a package out from the window: "Your aunt asked me to give it to you."
Ding Guo was startled: "That auntie just now?"
"Yes, that's her."
Ding Guo quickly turned around. There was no trace of Yu Shaofen in the cold and spacious street.
He was worried that I wouldn't want it, so he asked Uncle Xiao to give it to me at a different time.
Ding Guo sighed helplessly and took the package: "Thank you, Uncle Xiao."
Uncle Xiao smiled innocently and said, "Don't be polite. She's your aunt, right? You and your nephew are both very polite. You asked me to pass something on to you, and your aunt even gave me two packs of cigarettes."
After exchanging a few polite words with Uncle Xiao, Ding Guo left with his things.
Xiao Hong came over at noon and Ding Guo took her to the cafeteria for lunch.
The result brought by Xiao Hong was not pleasant. The person who escaped yesterday was not caught.
"That man's name is Yu Feng. He was caught on the black market two months ago, but he didn't have anything, so they investigated him, detained him for two days, and then released him. This time he happened to run into the militia on the street, and one of the militia recognized him and called out, saying that Yu Feng should have something on him this time. He started running when the militia called out. I didn't expect you to run into him by such a coincidence, but they don't know what he was selling because they didn't catch him."
Ding Guo sighed with regret. How come such a good person was not caught?
Seeing Ding Guo frowning, Xiao Hong comforted her, "You don't have to worry too much. Those people are just violating the rules and reselling. You just met him. You didn't take his money or his things. Don't worry."
Ding Guo's brows furrowed even more tightly.
After dinner, Ding Guo sent Xiao Hong away. He looked around and saw that it was not yet time to go to work. He strolled out of the factory, found a corner to hide nearby, and slipped into the space.
After opening the package sent by Yu Shaofen, he couldn't help but take a breath.
In Yu Shaofen's package, there was a piece of light blue woolen material, two pairs of cotton boots, a brand new sweater, a scarf, two pieces of brightly colored cotton cloth, and a large stack of bills of different quantities and types, including meat coupons, cloth coupons, industrial coupons, soap coupons, national grain coupons, towel coupons, coal coupons, cotton coupons, sugar coupons, tofu coupons, soybean oil coupons, vegetable storage coupons, a watch ticket, a bicycle ticket and a sewing ticket ticket.
In addition, there was a large bundle of cash wrapped in red paper. Ding Guo counted it and it was exactly one thousand yuan.
Last time, Yu Shaofen said she wanted to give her something, but she was worried that it would be involved with Ding Nianjun, so she refused. She didn't expect Yu Shaofen to be so persistent.
Ding Guo guessed that this should be her compensation to herself on behalf of her unfilial daughter.
Soon, this speculation was denied.
When Ding Guo shook out his sweater, a piece of paper fell out with a few lines of words written on it. The only meaning it conveyed was that Yu Shaofen gave these things sincerely and hoped that Ding Guo could accept them with confidence.
And said that this was not compensation for Ding Nianjun.
The last time they met, Yu Shaofen did have the idea of making compensation, but now she has figured it out. The harm that Ding Nianjun has caused to Ding Guo should be made up by Ding Nianjun himself, and she, as a mother who has been severed from relationship, has no obligation to compensate anything for Ding Nianjun.
This time, I gave these things to Ding Guo because I felt that I had a good relationship with her, so I gave her gifts and red envelopes.
Ding Guo still felt that these things were too heavy.
But in order to send the things out, Yu Shaofen specially wrapped the money in red paper, called it a red envelope, and entrusted it to the security guard, who would pass it to her after she left. After taking such trouble, she really couldn't return the things.
"Keep it for now, and we'll talk about it when we meet later."
Woolen fabrics, cotton boots, sweaters, scarves, etc. can be accepted without hesitation, but these tickets... tickets have time limits, some expired years ago, and Ding Guo certainly can't keep them forever. She took a notebook and registered them one by one, using those that need to be used first, and even if she doesn't return them in the future, she has to return them.
After the statistics were completed, Ding Guo took out the meat tickets, tofu tickets, cotton tickets, coal tickets, soybean oil tickets and vegetable storage tickets first.
There are three vegetable storage tickets, two for cabbage and one for white radish, each weighing 20 kilograms.
Tomorrow is the weekend, so I can go out and use these tickets.
When Yu Shaofen was carrying her luggage and squeezing onto the train with the crowd, Ding Nianjun was holding the microphone in the post office and lying calmly: "Dingfeng, I wanted to go back a few days ago, but I suddenly had severe morning sickness. I vomited everything I ate and even vomited when I drank water. I was worried that I couldn't stand the long car ride, so I wanted to stay at home for a few more days. Please help me explain to my parents. I will go back to the capital when I feel better."
When Pan Dingfeng heard that she had severe morning sickness, his heart began to tighten: "Why did she suddenly have such a severe reaction?"
Ding Nianjun: "Pregnancy reactions are unpredictable, and they may come and go. I also went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said that this situation is normal and told me not to be nervous, and the baby is also healthy."
Pan Dingfeng: "That's good, but it's hard for mom to take care of you for me."
After hanging up the phone, Ding Nianjun walked out of the post office with a sad face, looked up at the sky, and his eyes were filled with sorrow.
Why did I lose money?
Although she knew that doing this was accompanied by risks, she still felt very painful when the risks really came.
Zhao Jinbao stepped on his cigarette butt and came forward, asking, "Are you done fighting?"
Ding Nianjun nodded, bit her lip and said, "Jinbao, I don't doubt Qian Youde, but don't you think everything is too coincidental?"
After the incident, she kept thinking about what happened and the details of that day, and always felt that everything was too coincidental.
That place is not next to the black market, nor is it a special location. How could it be such a coincidence that someone with a red armband went there?
Zhao Jinbao also frowned. Ding Nianjun felt pain, and he felt pain too.
All the little money I earned during this period of time, risking my life in wind and rain, was spent on it.
Fortunately, I didn’t invest the money from selling the beef, so I still had one or two hundred yuan in my hand, so I didn’t lose everything. But how can one or two hundred yuan be compared with more than one thousand yuan?
His heart, liver and lungs were all in pain.
"Let's go find Qian Youde and ask him."
In the capital, Pan Dingfeng let out a long sigh after hanging up the phone.
Thinking of his mother's dissatisfaction with Ding Nianjun's delay in returning to the capital last night, he didn't want to go home at night.
In fact, not only his mother was dissatisfied, he also felt dissatisfied.
There is no difference between being married and not being married, you both end up alone in an empty house.
But all the dissatisfaction turned into deep worry when they heard that Ding Nianjun had severe pregnancy reactions.
Everyone in the Ding family was filled with worry.
The joy that Ding Jianguo and his wife had felt a few days ago when they moved was gone.
Yue Hongmei and Ding Zhigang had gloomy faces. The atmosphere at home was terribly low and the younger generations didn't even dare to speak loudly.
Knowing that investment involves risks is one thing, but actually experiencing the risk is another.
Similarly, we know that the responsibility cannot be entirely placed on Ding Nianjun, but when the incident really happened, who wouldn’t have some opinions?
The first person to have an opinion was not Ding Zhigang, but Lu Xiaomei, who had not been happy for two days after moving into her new home.
Not long ago, the money in my parents-in-law's hands was gone, then the money came back to them, and after it came back to them, it was gone again.
The money in the hands of the parents-in-law is roughly equivalent to the property that the father-in-law promised to buy, which is roughly equivalent to the house being gone.
Although renting this yard has changed my living environment, it is not my home after all.
Therefore, Lu Xiaomei often threw things around at home these days, taking advantage of her mood swings during pregnancy, forcing Ding Jianguo to mentally prepare himself several times before coming home from get off work.
In the family compound, Ding Jianshe had had enough of the gloomy atmosphere at home. After dinner, he couldn't help but yelled as if to vent his anger: "What's the big deal? What's the big deal? Mom and Dad, we can't be so short-sighted. It's just a few hundred yuan. We can earn more. I used to work in the factory..."
It's not like he hadn't done reselling before, and he had made a few hundred dollars from it on a small scale. He spent some of it here and there, and later, in order to make Ding Guo forgive Sister Nian Jun, he gave Ding Guo some of it.
Of course, he suffered a big setback in the end, but he was also a man who had tasted the sweetness. That thing made money quickly, and he could make more money by trading it a few times than by working hard for a month.
If you fall down, just get up. He doesn't believe that he can keep falling down.
"Dad, Mom, the black market has been under strict control these days. We don't know anyone there, and we didn't hear any news, so we ran into this unlucky person. But I know that the black market management will be relaxed for a few days before the New Year. We have to let the people celebrate the New Year, right? After this period is over, we can get some things to trade. I don't believe that we can't make back the money we invested."
Ding Jianshe felt so depressed by the atmosphere at home that he spoke very quickly. He didn't even notice his mother's several glances at him and just finished talking without stopping.
After he finished speaking, Yue Hongmei smiled awkwardly and said to Ding Tao, who was stunned by what she heard, "Ding Tao, don't listen to Jianshe's nonsense. Our family doesn't do that."
Ding Tao was indeed surprised. Don’t people in the city talk about speculation and profiteering behind others’ backs?
After all, I am still an outsider here.
Ding Jianshe also realized it belatedly. He turned around and glared at Ding Tao, saying viciously: "No matter what you heard, you can't tell anyone. If you dare to go out and say something, I will beat you to death."
Ding Tao was not afraid of him. Even with this little chicken, she didn't understand how Ding Jianshe had made a name for himself among his peers in the family compound. A person with thin arms and legs like this couldn't plow an acre of land in three days in the countryside. She rolled her eyes and said, "If you dare to do anything, I'll crush your tailbone."
Ding Guo found out the next day.
Ding Tao helped Ding Guo carry a bag of radishes, and Ding Guo carried a bag of cabbages by himself, which he easily put on the back seat of the bicycle and tied up with a rope.
Ding Tao sighed: "Sister, we both have thin arms and legs, but why do I feel that you are stronger than that idiot Ding Jianshe?"
She was also a child from the countryside and had done a lot of farm work. If she wanted to move the bag of cabbages, she would have to shout "Hey Yo" to encourage herself. But how come Ding Guo lifted it up so easily? The cabbages seemed weightless in her hands.
Ding Guo: "If you throw him to the countryside to work for ten years, he will become strong."
The two sisters pushed the cart towards Zaohua Lane with peace of mind. Ding Tao rambled on about the situation of the old Ding family in the past two days, saying, "Ding Jianshe is definitely a person who only cares about food and not punishment. He is jumping up and down preparing to speculate. Sister, if he really gets into trouble and is unlucky enough to be arrested and thrown into jail, can I take his job?"
Ding Guo: ...
It was unknown whether Ding Jianshe would engage in speculation again or whether he would be unlucky enough to be caught. Ding Guo squinted her eyes and looked ahead. She felt that Ding Nianjun would not be far from being caught.
"Turn, turn, and come this way..." Ding Guo was afraid that Ding Nianjun would see him and alert her, or that he would get into trouble if he got close to her, so he quickly turned the handlebars, took Ding Tao into the alley next to him, parked the bicycle and looked outside.
"What's wrong, sis?"
"I saw Ding Nianjun and Zhao Jinbao."
There were not only the two of them, but also a strange man with them.
Ding Guo also had sharp eyes and noticed the tails behind the three people.
