Chapter 159 Pan Dingfeng's Job Transfer
Neither the remittance slips nor the packages sent by her mother-in-law could soothe her depressed mood.
The couple went to the post office to pick up the remittance and package.
Zaohua Lane is not far from home, so they would usually ride their bikes there. However, since they were about to separate, they played a romantic game and strolled there. Then, if there was no one around, they would hold hands secretly. If there was someone around, they would let go and wait until the person passed by before holding hands again. They had a lot of fun, even though they were sweating profusely.
During the trip, they passed by a photo studio, and Pei Che suddenly thought: "Wife, shall we take another photo?"
Ding Guo was surprised. Didn’t they take the photo before getting married?
Pei Che said in a somewhat hypocritical manner: "Those were taken before we got married. This is the first time we've taken them since we got married."
Ding Guo thought that the first photo after marriage was also very meaningful, so he went in and took a few photos, including group photos and individual photos.
Wash two each and send one to Pei Che later.
After coming out of the photo studio, the two continued to play the intermittent hand-holding game until they reached the post office, where they received the package and money and called Shao Xunping.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted for a few words on the phone. Knowing that Pei Che's vacation was over, Shao Xunping told Ding Guo with some guilt that she should be more patient and call her or write to her when she was free. Ding Guo agreed.
Shao Xunping sent over three thousand yuan, and in the package was a bright red satin quilt cover, pillowcase, cotton sheets, a military green women's shirt, a pair of military green trousers, a stack of military general bills, and several military vest tickets, which could be used throughout the country.
There is also a big bag of dried chilies and wolfberries.
Knowing that Ding Guo liked chili sauce, Pei Che divided the dried chilies into two parts. He kept one part for cooking and made the other part into chili sauce, adding diced meat, mushrooms, and a lot of crushed peanuts and sesame seeds. He could take one can with him when he left and leave the rest at home.
Ding Guo baked a batch of bread and steamed buns, which Pei Che could eat on the train as well as himself.
In the evening, after dinner, Ding Dayong picked up his bag and left. He was going on a business trip and would leave at 10 o'clock in the evening. But he did not waste time at home. After dinner, he was very tactful and left space for his sister and brother-in-law who were about to leave.
Ding Guo took the initiative to hug Pei Che.
Pei Che felt sweet and bitter.
The sweet thing is that it’s rare for his wife to be so proactive in sticking to him, but the bitter thing is that just when he had tasted the sweetness, he has to set off back to the army tomorrow!
"I'll come to see you during the New Year!" Ding Guo said, burying her head in Pei Che's arms, regardless of the heat.
Pei Che immediately began to calculate how long it would take until the New Year.
But no matter how you calculate it, there is still half a year left, which is so long!
He couldn't help but hug his wife tightly in his arms and bent down to kiss her again.
No matter how reluctant they were to leave each other, daybreak had already arrived.
Although they hadn't slept all night, the two of them didn't feel sleepy at all.
Pei Che packed his luggage.
Ding Guo cut some watermelons, melons and other fruits and put them in the lunch box, and filled two pots of well water for Pei Che. The couple set off for the station.
Ding Guo reluctantly saw his partner off, waved goodbye and looked at the train going away. He felt a slight lump in his throat, took a long breath and exhaled slowly, feeling empty inside.
On the train, Pei Che did not withdraw his leaning body until he could no longer see his wife, feeling uncomfortable in his heart.
We just broke up and I miss my wife already!
Ding Guo left the station, felt melancholy for a while, and returned to Zaohua Lane.
Pei Che had returned to the army and Dayong was on a business trip. Although the house would not be busy at this time normally, she inexplicably felt a little deserted at this moment.
After being in the room for a while, I went into the space to catch up on some sleep.
She applied for a night shift today and will work at night.
After coming out of the space in the afternoon, Ding Guo ate a steamed bun with hot sauce and half a piece of bread. He also made himself a fruit plate and put it in his lunch box and put it in the space so that he could eat it at night.
I packed my things and went to the factory.
I saw Ding Tao at the factory gate.
"Brother-in-law has returned to the army?" Ding Tao asked with concern, "Sister, are you okay?"
Ding Guo didn't sleep well in the afternoon, so he felt a little sluggish, but he still smiled and said, "I'm fine, don't worry."
Although I am reluctant to see Pei Che leave, I still have to live my life.
Ding Tao came over to see her and to give Ding Guo some news: "Ding Nianjun is out of confinement, Auntie will be back next Thursday, and Pan Dingfeng's job is going to be transferred."
Ding Guo raised an eyebrow: "Transfer?"
Ding Tao: "It's at the grassroots level, not far from here. Auntie asked my cousin to help Ding Nianjun find a house."
Ding Guo was no longer sleepy: "Where are we going?"
Ding Tao said: "It is said to be the commune where your maternal grandfather lived, but it is not the same village as your maternal grandfather's."
Ding Guo didn't know which commune his maternal grandparents lived in, let alone which village. He only knew that it was not far from Fengning, just a few hours' bus ride away.
The book doesn't describe much about Yue Hongmei's family. All we know is Yue Maisui and Sun Bocai, and the plot is very brief.
She had seen this, but did not know the details of the situation in their families.
Ding Guo didn’t understand, but Yue Hongmei did!
Ever since she learned about her son-in-law's job transfer, she has been a little restless, but there is also a hint of excitement hidden in this restlessness.
She was restless because she was worried that Ding Zhigang would find out and then misunderstand whether she had asked Pan Dingfeng to choose this place deliberately.
But this kind of thing cannot be concealed. Nianjun and his wife will live in Fengning permanently in the future, so how can they hide it from Ding Zhigang?
Forget it, let's take it one step at a time. This is the fate between Nianjun and her biological father.
Ding Nianjun was not excited at all, she felt very depressed.
Some even suggested that Pan Dingfeng give gifts to his superiors and ask for help in moving to another place.
Why go there when there are no other places in the country you can go?
Ding Guo didn't think of the deeper level. After Ding Tao sent the message, she reminded her that if her cousin couldn't find a house, he might take Ding Guo's yard.
Ding Guo is not worried about this. If Ding Jianguo is not afraid of being beaten, he can come.
In fact, the Ding family was tempted, not because of Ding Guo's yard, but because of her luck in finding a house.
But their excitement was only for a moment.
Ding Zhigang didn't really want to go back to the hospital and shout "Hu Hansan is back", and Ding Jianguo didn't want to see Ding Guo's cold face again.
Little Five and Little Six would definitely not come to see Ding Guo.
When Pei Che arrived at the unit and called Ding Guo back, Ding Guo told him about Pan Dingfeng's visit to the grassroots level.
She was wondering if it was arranged by Pei Che.
Pei Che did have some hand in this, but it was only a small part.
"Pan Dingfeng's work ability is not strong. Su Tonghai was willing to take care of him for Pan Yuanzheng's sake before, but now there are many people eyeing Su Tonghai's position. He is under a lot of pressure. At this time, he really needs capable subordinates with some family background to help him fight for something. But Pan Dingfeng now has neither of them."
"Su Tonghai had mentioned that Pan Dingfeng should go to the grassroots level a long time ago, but Pan Dingfeng had not agreed before. However, he made a small mistake at work a few days ago. This mistake was not a big deal in the past, but now Su Tonghai has made a big fuss about it and directly arranged for Pan Dingfeng's job to be transferred."
So Pan Dingfeng’s job transfer was not his idea.
"I just asked Uncle Liao to help him change his location and work in Ding Nianjun's father's hometown."
It didn't hurt, but... it was embarrassing!
With Ding Nianjun's personality of flattering the powerful and looking down on the weak, she would be embarrassed to death.
Yue Hongmei would also feel uncomfortable.
As for the father-in-law, when he finds out who works at the place where his son-in-law Pan Dingfeng works, he should be very "happy", right?
Although Ding Nianjun's biological father is currently in labor reform in the northwest, Ding Nianjun's biological grandfather, grandmother, and all the closest relatives are here.
Ding Guo almost choked on his own saliva.
She didn't expect it could be played like this!
But this is also good. Ding Guo has already recognized his biological mother, so he should be willing to recognize his biological father... um, the relatives over there, right?
On the third day after Pei Che left, Ding Guo received photos sent from the capital. They were the ones she and Dayong took in front of Tiananmen Square.
There was no need to develop the negatives at that time. Ding Guo took the negatives to the photo studio here and developed two more photos of Dayong alone and two more photos of the two of them. Then she went to the post office and mailed these photos, along with a photo of her and Pei Che, to her third aunt.
After coming out of the post office, Ding Guo found a corner to hide in her space, dressed up, and went to the black market to continue selling her watches.
On Thursday, the skinny Yue Hongmei returned. As she walked out of the station, she saw her equally skinny eldest son who came to pick her up.
The mother and son looked at each other and were both shocked.
"Mom, why are you so thin?"
"Jianguo, why are you so thin?"
The mother and son spoke at the same time, and they saw the pain in each other's eyes.
Ding Jianguo thought, although his mother was not fat before going to the capital, she was not so thin either!
Yue Hongmei felt heartbroken when she looked at her son's dark and thin face. Her eldest son was not like this before she went to the capital!
Then the mother and son who were taking care of Yuezi at the same time realized it together.
However, Yue Hongmei asked in confusion: "Isn't your mother-in-law taking care of you during the confinement period?"
She also has a son-in-law. Although her son-in-law has been affected to some extent in the past month, he is not as miserable as this.
Ding Jianguo's eyes suddenly turned red, with tears of bitterness.
He was exhausted both physically and mentally.
When he got home from get off work, he had to wash the urine mustard because his mother-in-law said that his waist ached from taking care of his wife and children all day.
When the child cried at night, Lu Xiaomei would kick him and ask him to get up and change the child's diaper.
Because the mother-in-law slept in the west room, she would come over sometimes, but most of the time she would not make any noise. However, she would apologize to him in the morning: "Son-in-law, didn't the child cry at night? I might have been too tired and didn't hear the child crying. If the child cries in the future, please call me."
But when he wanted to shout, Lu Xiaomei was unhappy: "My mother is old, she has to take care of me during the day, and you can't let her sleep well at night?"
Ding Dayong thought to himself, he still works during the day.
But looking at his wife's impatient expression, he didn't dare to say anything.
After hearing her son's grievances, Yue Hongmei was extremely angry. As a mother-in-law, she felt sorry for her son-in-law, but her own in-laws didn't know how to feel sorry for them.
"Your wife is also ignorant. She doesn't know how to feel sorry for her man."
But this daughter-in-law was introduced by Nianjun, so if she continued to be dissatisfied, she would have to blame Nianjun. Thinking about Nianjun's current situation, she felt a little distressed. She could only endure it and hold back her anger.
I returned to the family compound and went home amid the shocked greetings of neighbors, leaving behind a stream of discussions.
"How come you are so exhausted after taking care of your baby in a big city?"
"Well, I wasn't this tired when I was taking care of my daughter-in-law during her confinement!"
When Yue Hongmei returned home, Dingxiang saw her mother whom she hadn't seen for a month. The grievances that had been accumulating for a long time suddenly erupted and she burst into tears.
Yue Hongmei felt distressed, but also relieved. After going through all that, she saw her little girl had matured a lot.
However, she had been sitting on the train for a long time and was very tired. She just wanted to take a bath and rest, so she didn't have the patience to comfort her younger daughter. She just said a few words to her, took the bath ticket and went to take a bath. When she came back, she fell asleep immediately. After waking up, she went to her eldest son refreshed.
