Chapter 120 120 When the train arrived at a station for transfer, Pan...
After knowing where he was being sent, Pan Yuanzheng breathed a sigh of relief.
The three northeastern provinces, far away from the capital.
The land there is fertile and the resources are abundant.
Although the hard work is unavoidable, one won't starve.
Furthermore, that place is not only Uncle Su’s hometown, but Su’s son-in-law works in an important local department. With Uncle Su’s care, he and his wife will have a good life there.
The current issue is how to arrange for the eldest son.
Pan Yuanzheng was wondering whether to take Tiancheng with him or leave him in the capital to be taken care of by Dingfeng and his wife.
He was confident about Dingfeng, but he was worried about his second daughter-in-law.
Pan Yuanzheng believed that he had some ability to judge people, and that his second daughter-in-law was the kind of person who could only share good times but not bad times.
It's fine for one or two days, but as time goes on, they will definitely regard Tiancheng as a burden. Tiancheng will suffer all kinds of grievances if he follows them.
Pan Yuanzheng wanted his mother to divorce him and draw a clear line between them, so that he could stay in the city to take care of his eldest son, and at the same time help his second son, who was not in his right mind, to look after his wife.
Pan's mother shook her head. She had taken leave to run errands for her husband. When she returned to work, her leader talked to her and said that someone had reported her for taking paid leave.
Over the years, Pan's mother has relied on the little power she holds to often use her power for personal gain to grant herself leave to take care of her mentally handicapped son and take care of other matters at home.
No one cared about these things when her husband was in office. But now, just a few days after her husband was taken away, the superiors received a report. After investigation, the facts were true. The unit removed her from her position and gave her a disciplinary punishment, and wanted her to clean the toilet.
It really is like what they say, to kick someone when he is down, to beat a broken drum!
Pan's mother used to be a leader in her unit, and was even considered the wife of a big leader by others. She couldn't let go of her status when she was asked to clean the toilet, so she decided to go down with Pan Yuanzheng. So she resolutely resigned and prepared to go north with her husband.
“Take Tiancheng with you. No matter how hard life is down there, it’s better than letting him live with the second brother’s family.” Pan’s mother packed her things. Because someone was taking care of her, she was not restricted in what she could do like the other people who were sent down there.
It was unrealistic to bring too much money. Besides, the family had been plagued by misfortunes during this period, and most of the family wealth had been spent. Most of the remaining savings were left to the second son, and they also brought enough money and other supplies for their travels there.
Pan Yuanzheng agreed with his wife's words.
The second brother is confused and only has eyes for women.
The second son's wife is a calculating person. She says one thing in public and another in private. If Tiancheng falls into her hands, he will be lost to her in a few days.
Pan Yuanzheng sighed.
At this point, he couldn't believe that he was dismissed from his post and would be demoted to a lower position with a bleak future.
The Yu family at this time.
Yu Shaochong, who was wearing a police uniform, patted the old man on the back and said gently, "Dad, don't get excited."
"Ahem... It's okay, ahem..." Mr. Yu had suffered a lot during his relocation, and his health was badly weakened. He raised his hand and waved, indicating that he was fine. Then he looked up at the old man opposite him who was wearing a military uniform but was in high spirits. His weak voice was as sharp as a knife, "Comrade Chief, that beast Pan Yuanzheng has ruined Hongxin's life. Hongxin was such a good seedling with a bright future, but that beast ruined it, and even implicated innocent people."
Yu Shaochong also said: "Old Chief, our family is dissatisfied with this verdict. As a son, I feel sorry for my father!"
The door of the bedroom next to him opened, and a middle-aged woman came out and stood next to Yu Shaochong, saying, "That's right, my parents' suffering over the years cannot be in vain, we must seek justice for them! That Su is actually willing to protect someone like Pan Yuanzheng, he must be the same as the Pan family..."
"Shao Fen!" Old Master Yu interrupted his daughter and said, "Is your mother asleep?"
Yu Shaofen stopped talking unconvinced, but still nodded and said nothing more.
Her inner emotions were complicated and painful.
When his father got into trouble, he was afraid that she and his brother would get carried away and seek revenge, and become victims of the injustice, so he did not tell them who framed their father.
It was not until recently, when the case was brought up and the higher authorities came to investigate, that Yu Shaofen realized that God had played such a joke on her.
The daughter she gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy turned out to marry the man who was her family's mortal enemy.
Never mind. They have already severed their relationship anyway. Adding this entanglement, they are destined not to be mother and daughter. Their relationship will be even more distant from each other and there will be no possibility of turning around.
It was Mr. Pei who came to visit the Yu family.
Although Mr. Yu was also a soldier before, he was not in the same region as Mr. Pei. Mr. Pei got to know Mr. Yu through this incident.
He admired the old policeman who was able to struggle out of the quagmire on his own in such a difficult environment and prove that he was wronged. Although the process was long, he succeeded, and some people would find it difficult to do this in their entire lives.
"Thank goodness my father is an upright man. The charge was pinned on him. As an experienced police officer, my father realized something was wrong and left himself a way out." Yu Shaochong said to Mr. Pei, "But this road is still difficult. Otherwise, it wouldn't have taken so many years to prove his innocence."
Mr. Yu was implicated in the Guo Hongxin incident that year. He was accused by Pan Yuanzheng's father of other things and was suppressed and demoted. This is not the same as the work style issues that Guo Hongxin was certified for.
Old Man Yu shook his head. “Ahem, it was only after I returned to the city that I realized I had come at the right time. Ahem, ahem, the organization, ahem, revisited some of that old man’s past affairs and re-evaluated some of the things that old man had handled. Only then was the information I submitted… ahem, ahem… ahem… taken seriously and re-examined, ahem… ahem…”
Old man Yu's face was flushed from coughing. Yu Shaofen went over to pat his father's back, and Yu Shaochong took a spittoon for his father to cough up the phlegm.
Mr. Pei asked with concern: "Didn't you go to the hospital for a comprehensive checkup?"
Yu Shaochong answered for his father: "I've done a checkup and it turns out that he got sick from overwork. He's taking medicine now and needs to slowly recover."
"It's okay, no need to shoot." Grandpa Yu coughed a few times, and his chest felt much smoother. He waved his hand and continued to talk to Grandpa Pei, "What I said to Hongxin is that death is the most painful. One bullet is too easy for him. Why should Pan Yuanzheng be so happy? But he can't go to the three northeastern provinces, the northwest or Yunnan Province will do. The suffering we have suffered must be tasted by that beast. I wrote some materials and prepared to submit them. The Su guy wanted to protect him, and I also have people I want to protect. Hongxin was too wronged, and the female comrade who was involved was a good girl, but she was ruined like this..."
Pan Dingfeng was forced by his mother to break off relations with them, and Ding Nianjun breathed a sigh of relief.
In just two or three days, Pan Dingfeng lost a lot of weight.
His attitude of drawing a clear line in the sand was that he could not even see Pan's father and mother off when they set off, and he lay alone on the hospital bed, crying his eyes out.
Ding Nianjun was always worried, fearing that Pan Dingfeng would ask her to go and see his parents-in-law off. Fortunately, Pan Dingfeng did not do such a stupid thing.
"Don't worry, we've arranged where our parents are going. After the baby is born, we will take him to see our parents secretly. With the help of Uncle Su you mentioned, no one should find out..." Ding Nianjun gently comforted Pan Dingfeng.
Pan Dingfeng nodded, glanced at his wife beside the bed with gratitude, lowered his gaze to her lower abdomen, and asked with concern: "You have worked hard during this period, is the baby okay?"
Ding Nianjun gently stroked her belly, smiled, and said, "He's fine. Maybe the child is worried about his grandparents and his father, so he hasn't bothered me these past few days."
It's just bitterness in my heart.
My parents-in-law were sent down to the countryside and could not return to the dormitory in the compound. With the help of several good brothers of Pan Dingfeng, they temporarily rented a house in a large compound. Although the environment was a bit poor and the house was a bit small, it was at least a place to stay. After Pan Dingfeng was discharged from the hospital, they would slowly look for a better place to live.
Neither the couple expected that the place where Mr. and Mrs. Pan finally arrived was no longer the three northeastern provinces!
Not only that, Pan's father and mother's pockets were slashed on the train, and all the money they had hidden on their bodies was taken away.
When the vehicle stopped temporarily, a skinny man suddenly snatched a package from them and threw it out of the open window, then he disappeared into the crowd.
Pan's father and mother shouted in panic, but they were bad guys. How could the people who were responsible for escorting them on the road stand up for them?
This was not the worst. When the train arrived at a station to change trains, Pan Yuanzheng realized something was wrong. The train he was taking was not to the three northeastern provinces. His expression instantly became pale, and he visibly collapsed...
Ding Nianjun got some food from the hospital cafeteria and saw a familiar face in the lobby on the first floor. She was so shocked that she almost dropped the lunch box in her hand. She quickly dodged and hid behind the pillar next to her. She looked at Yu Shaofen over there with disgust in her eyes.
"Why did she follow me to the capital?"
She even followed me to the hospital. What on earth did she want to do?
Ding Nianjun hated her biological parents, especially her biological mother. Was she her biological mother? She knew that her family background was questionable but she still insisted on recognizing her. She must hate her to death! She really didn't care about her difficulties at all.
Ding Nianjun saw that Yu Shaofen was not paying attention, so he quietly went around from behind a pillar to another corridor and quickly went upstairs from the stairs on the other side.
In the hall, Yu Shaofen smiled at her niece who was walking over and said, "Have you got the medicine?"
The fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl patted her shoulder bag and said, "I've got it. Let's go, auntie. Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some jujube flower cakes for grandma."
"You can't let your grandfather eat the jujube flower cake this time. He shouldn't eat sweets when he has a cough. You need to keep an eye on him at home and take care of him."
Yu Qian pouted: "I know, but grandpa steals food. He steals food when I'm not paying attention..."
"You have to criticize him, criticize him harshly." Yu Shaofen helped her niece adjust her scarf with a smile, and the aunt and niece walked out of the hospital arm in arm.
Upstairs, Pan Dingfeng walked slowly, holding onto the wall to stretch his stiff body. Seeing Ding Nianjun coming back with a bad look on his face, he asked, "What's wrong?"
Ding Nianjun whispered: "I actually saw that woman downstairs just now..."
Seeing that Pan Dingfeng didn't react, she said in a low voice: "It's my biological mother. How did she come to the capital?"
Pan Dingfeng also frowned, but he still respected his wife's feelings and asked, "What do you think?"
Ding Nianjun put the lunch box on the bedside table and said, "I only have one mother in my life."
Pan Dingfeng nodded. His mother-in-law loved Nianjun from the bottom of her heart. That kind of love surpassed that of many biological mothers and daughters. He could understand Nianjun's thoughts.
Although Nianjun is related by blood to his biological mother, she never raised him for a single day. Instead, that relationship caused Nianjun a lot of trouble.
"It's best not to admit it at this time." Pan Dingfeng said in a deep voice.
When the family was doing well, Nianjun had to worry about the attitude of his parents; now that the family is in trouble, recognizing his biological parents at this time would add an extra layer of negative influence.
To put it in a superstitious way, Nianjun and her biological parents are just not destined to be together.
"I'm sorry for putting you through this." Pan Dingfeng held Ding Nianjun's hand and said with concern.
Ding Nianjun didn't care. She didn't want to recognize any biological parents in the first place. Even if there was a rift between her and Ding Zhigang, it was better than having a biological father.
"I just asked the attending doctor, and he said that there's no need for me to stay in the hospital all the time. It's better to go home and recuperate directly." Pan Dingfeng said apologetically, "We've moved, and I don't even know where our new home is..."
I've been so tired these days.
Ding Nianjun felt so aggrieved that she felt that it was not a new home at all. It was just a corner in a large compound. When Dingfeng recovered, she would definitely move to another place.
Having been in the capital for such a long time, she has seen many square courtyard houses. She wants to rent one of those small courtyards and live there by herself, without having to squeeze together with all those miscellaneous people. Every day they are either arguing here or quarreling there, which is very noisy.
"Get well soon, and we'll rent a decent little yard. I don't want to live there."
Pan Dingfeng smiled dotingly: "Okay, let me take care of it for a while and then we'll move to another place..."
On the other side, Pei Che returned to Fengning carrying large and small bags of things.
Ding Guo happened to be transferred to the night shift and came to pick us up.
Although he knew that his partner was very strong, Pei Che did not treat him like a donkey. He hung him on his body if possible, and hung him on the handlebars if possible. He just handed Ding Guo a blueprint and said, "I have drawn the blueprints of our two courtyards. See if you have any ideas for changes. I will work on it slowly."
Ding Guo unfolded the blueprint and was a little surprised: "Why are the layouts of the two courtyards so different?"
Her apartment had a back room, while Pei Che's did not, making the yard appear more spacious.
But Pei Che's main house had two side rooms with corners on the east and west sides, which made it more suitable for living than the back house.
In the future, the two houses will be merged into one...but they cannot be merged completely together. The courtyard wall will definitely not be completely demolished. Just add a round arch so that there is an entrance and exit.
However, the two courtyards combined together look spacious and there is a lot of room for development. Ding Guo thinks it can be well planned.
"Don't worry, I'll think about it slowly."
There's no rush to get married anyway.
Ding Guo poked him in the back and said, "What happened to the Pan family? My cousin told me that my mother cried at several funerals at home. If you didn't know, you would think that all her good relatives were dead."
Pei Che was poked by her and felt like he was electrocuted, and the handlebars of his bike were tilted.
Ding Guo was immediately unhappy: "Comrade Pei, your skills are not good enough. If you make me fall..."
Pei Che hurriedly said: "Guoguo, I won't do that. Even if I fall, I won't let you fall."
Ding Guo was not satisfied with this answer, but what he said made Pei Che happy: "Comrade Pei Che, you have to understand one thing. Once you become my partner, you are mine. If you dare to destroy my person, I will never let you go."
Pei Che felt like he was floating in the clouds, and he felt a little dizzy. How come his Guoguo was so talkative?
To get back to Zaohua Lane from the station, Ding Guo had to cross half of the city, and he didn't even notice that he might be seen on the way.
Ding Jianshe was urged by the people next to him to look at girls: "Look, that girl is so pretty, it's a pity..." He must have a girlfriend.
Ding Jianshe took a glance and cursed: "Fuck, that jinx in our family."
The people squatting with him were shocked this time. Zhao Zhiming said in astonishment, "Your elder sister who was disliked by your mother and beat you after coming back from the countryside? Shit, is this true? If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have recognized that it was Ding Guo. She has changed so much. Who is that man?"
Ding Jianshe then realized that Ding Guo was being carried by a man on a bicycle, and said impatiently, "I don't know, I didn't notice."
"He's a pretty boy. His face is whiter than your sister's."
Ding Jianshe curled his lips and said, "That pretty boy has no good intentions. Who knows where she hooked up with that wild man... Let's not talk about her. Is your friend coming over? I'm almost freezing to death!"
Zhao Zhiming stared at the direction where Ding Guo left in a daze, with the stunning face that flashed by his mind all he could think of.
