Chapter 264 Ding Zhigang regretted it. Facing his youngest daughter’s indifference…
The next night, Ding Guo met Ding Nianjun.
Standing at the door, Ding Guo was stunned when he saw Ding Nianjun through the small window above.
The stool in the room fell to the side. Ding Nianjun sat on the ground leaning against the wall, and he seemed not to feel the cold despite the freezing weather.
Her head was slightly tilted, her hair resting on one side, her hands were curling her hair from time to time, and her eyes had a clear and dull look.
This look...it seems like there is something wrong with his mental state.
Pei Che whispered beside him, "Although he was a little crazy yesterday, he didn't look that serious. He suddenly jumped out of bed in the middle of the night and started yelling. He held his head and turned around in the room for a few times, talking to himself in the air. Our people didn't hear some of what he said clearly. We only heard one or two sentences. He said something about making her a cup of coffee and that there would be a meeting in a while. He also danced and gestured in the air. He has been like this ever since."
Ding Guo: ...
She wanted to meet Ding Nianjun because she was guessing from Pei Che's words whether Ding Nianjun would be reborn.
Now it seems closer to this speculation.
However, Ding Guo didn't quite understand Ding Nianjun's current state.
After all, he has been in the business world for his whole life. Although it has been relatively smooth overall, he has also experienced ups and downs in the middle. He is a worldly-wise man, and his mentality should not have collapsed so badly.
Could it be that her guess was wrong, and Ding Nianjun was not reborn, but only recovered some memories of her previous life, all of which were glamorous and beautiful, with her being the center of attention. Therefore, she could not accept the gap in this life and went crazy?
Ding Guo: "I'll go in and take a look myself."
Pei Che nodded and waited outside the door. He waved his hand to let the guard go down and rest, and he just stayed here to watch.
Ding Guo pushed the door open and walked in. Hearing the noise, Ding Nianjun glanced at her with a vague look, frowned suddenly, and said unhappily with a condescending tone of a superior: "Why are you here? Didn't I tell you not to come to the company? If you have anything, call me. Your responsibility is to take good care of your parents and eldest brother. This is not the place for you." Then he raised his hand and pointed to the side, "But since you are here, take these boxes of bird's nests back to your parents, and go to the dry cleaners to pick up the suit that Dingfeng sent for cleaning."
Ding Guo's mouth twitched, he was really trapped in some memories.
Ding Guo squatted down in front of her and looked at Ding Nianjun's expression carefully.
"Mouse, is she really crazy?"
System: "The mental fluctuations are abnormal. He must be really crazy."
Seeing Ding Guo remained silent, Ding Nianjun frowned even more tightly, with undisguised disgust in her eyes. She reached out to the side and performed a non-material performance, as if she had taken out something, and threw it in front of Ding Guo: "Use this money to buy yourself some clothes. You dress like an old woman every day, which really brings shame to our Pan family."
Ding Guo: ...
She became more and more certain that Ding Nianjun was indeed immersed in some beautiful memories and was enjoying it and unable to extricate himself.
However, even though this person was crazy, he still remembered the face of 'Ding Guo' and continued to play the role that Ding Nianjun most wanted in her memory, being ordered around like a nanny.
Ding Guo glanced at the background and found it funny that the internal consumption value was still increasing.
It seems that no matter whether he recalls certain memories in this life or not, Ding Nianjun is very dissatisfied with the person "Ding Guo". How paranoid he is towards the original owner or himself.
Ding Guo spoke softly, using a microphone prop: "Did Pan Dingfeng do anything illegal when he was in the army?"
Ding Nianjun was a little angry: "Why are you, a sister-in-law, asking about your brother-in-law's affairs? Do you think you can ask about Dingfeng's affairs? Have you finished the housework?"
Ding Guo: ...
She was stunned for a moment, and frantically asked Haozi in her heart: "The microphone prop is ineffective on her?"
Haozi was also a little stunned, and quickly conducted some tests: "Host, there is no problem with our props, it should be the target person who has a problem."
"Ineffective against the mentally ill?"
Haozi: "Host, I haven't tested this before, so I didn't know there was such a bug. Don't worry, I've already reported it to the developer and asked them to fix the problem. I'll also ask if they can give me some rewards."
Ding Guo: ...
Tongzi has made great progress. He is finally on the same page with her and even took the initiative to apply for the reward.
However, it is certain that Ding Nianjun is really crazy.
She wasn't 100% sure when she was testing the mouse, and now even the props are ineffective, so there's no way she can escape.
After confirming Ding Nianjun's condition and making sure that no information could be extracted from her, Ding Guo stopped wasting time and got up to leave.
As to whether Ding Nianjun was reborn or something else happened, it doesn’t matter.
It can only be said that Ding Nianjun has been obsessed with the person "Ding Guo" for both of her lifetimes. She and the original owner are both her indelible inner demons.
In his previous life, he spared no effort to trap the original owner. In this life, his plan failed and he hated her for so many years, but he never stopped testing her.
If Ding Guo hadn't changed his mind, Ding Nianjun would have seized the opportunity to push him into the quagmire sooner or later.
This shows how lacking in confidence Ding Nianjun is.
Next, while Pei Che continued to investigate the reselling of military supplies, he also investigated Pan Dingfeng's case.
Pan Dingfeng has not been to school, and his two buddies have contacted Ding Jianguo and his brother twice. Ding Jiandang wanted to ask more questions, as he did not think his brother's guess was true. However, he was dragged away by Ding Jianguo, and the two brothers had another argument about this.
There was no need to delay Zhang Shuhua's case. She committed murder in the street, so she was sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve within a few days.
Pan Dingfeng felt a little desperate.
But he didn't expect that something even more desperate was yet to come.
After the case was sentenced, Gao Jiaye and Sun Dongliang were helpless and could only comfort Pan Dingfeng, saying that they would find a way to smooth things over so that Zhang Shuhua would suffer less. They also advised her to cheer up and finish her studies, as maybe there would be a turning point before graduation.
They also discussed helping him find someone to take care of his son. For his son's sake, he had to cheer up.
The house was in a mess these days and Pan Dingfeng had no time to take care of his son, so Gao Jiaye sent him to his girlfriend's house and asked her to take care of him for a few days.
His girlfriend can take care of him in the short term, but if he wants to make long-term plans, he still needs to hire a nanny.
Pan Dingfeng nodded with a dull look in his eyes. He had an untidy beard and reeked of alcohol. He had been in this state for the past few days, drinking to drown his sorrows every day.
Just as his two good brothers were comforting him, the door was pushed open from the outside and several men in military uniforms walked in.
Pan Dingfeng was taken away.
Gao Jiaye and Sun Dongliang looked at each other before they could come to their senses. "You said you want to investigate something that happened a few years ago. What did you mean by that?"
The person who came to take Pan Dingfeng away didn't say anything.
Sun Dongliang's scalp tingled, and he said, "Go back and ask someone."
The two left in a hurry, but for some reason, they felt a little uneasy.
As Yue Hongmei's body was difficult to transport, it was cremated here. Ding Jianguo, his daughter, and Ding Jiandang took Yue Hongmei's ashes back to Fengning.
They were self-aware enough to know that Ding Guo would not give them a good face, nor would he necessarily say nice things to them, let alone make a big reconciliation with them, so they did not go to school to cause trouble for Ding Guo.
Of course, maybe he was scared after being beaten a few times before.
However, Dingxiang still returned to Fengning.
The funeral was simple at that time. I followed Yue Hongmei to the funeral. Without saying much to my two brothers, I turned around and left and returned to school.
After learning that Yue Hongmei had passed away, Ding Tao did not call or write to Ding Guo. However, she did write a letter to Ding Guo after attending the funeral.
"...Xiangxiang's heart may have been chilled to the bone by her parents. She didn't shed a single tear the entire time. Ding Jiandang was still angry and called Xiangxiang a ruthless person. The little bastard even wanted to attack her, but I stopped him."
Ding Xiang went back but didn't go to see Ding Zhigang.
Ding Zhigang was still waiting at home for his little daughter to come back. Although he was not feeling well, he dragged his legs out to buy meat and fish, hoping to wait for Ding Xiang to come back so that the family could have a good meal. When he learned that Ding Xiang had left, he did not come to his senses for a long time, and then he hugged his little son and burst into tears.
Ding Zhigang regretted it. Facing his little daughter's estrangement, he felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife. However, a broken heart is the hardest to mend, and it was too late to regret.
After that, he treated his youngest son even more as a treasure and wanted to tie him to his belt.
After attending her ex-aunt's funeral, Ding Tao took leave and went to the south.
Thanks to the regulations that prohibited feudal superstition at that time, Ding Tao didn't mind it and got married happily without any affect on her mood.
Ding Guo's life was not affected at all. He went to school in the morning and went home after class.
Mosquito took over all business matters and later received two more batches of goods, which he sold one after another.
The goods sold so well that Ding Guo and the other two discussed and placed another order. They also asked Mosquito to communicate with Lu Wenming to buy a few more brightly colored and thick sweaters, and a few tops with beautiful patterns, and send over another batch of goods.
Take advantage of the new year to make some extra money.
After putting the two kids to sleep at night, Ding Guo would sit by the bed with a pen and write and draw, and he also had to prepare spring clothes in advance.
I drew a few pictures and showed them to everyone. Apart from saying they were beautiful, no one could offer any comments.
It's not that they are exaggerating. There really aren't that many styles of clothes in that era. As a person from later generations who has seen many popular clothes, Ding Guo still has vision. She didn't copy them completely, but combined her own insights with contemporary characteristics, and made some changes to the waistline design, collar, cuffs, pockets and other places. Compared with the current clothes that have no sense of design, it is naturally eye-catching.
Ding Guo smiled and said, "We will first select two models and then gradually add new models after the new year. This way we will always be at the forefront of leading fashion and we will not have to worry about the sales of our products."
Several people put their heads together and tried to choose, but couldn't make a decision.
Finally, Ding Guo took the drawings to show to Aunt Qiao, Sister Chunhua, Mother-in-law, and Aunt Yu respectively, and sought their opinions. Finally, he selected two design drawings, wrote a letter to Lu Wenming, and sent it together with the drawings.
Yu Shaofen has been going to Zizhu Bridge frequently these past two days. She heard about Yue Hongmei's situation and was worried about Ding Guo, so she came to see him.
Seeing that Ding Guo hadn't changed much from before, I felt relieved.
She also knew about Ding Nianjun's affairs and was silent for a moment, but in the end she just sighed and said nothing more. She turned to talk to Ding Guo about her work.
She was becoming increasingly unhappy with her job at the factory, so she said she would try setting up a stall after the Chinese New Year.
Ding Guo knew that Aunt Yu was good at canning sauces, so he had an idea and encouraged her to try making some hot sauce herself.
Yu Shaofen also perked up when she heard this and asked hurriedly, "Guoguo, is this possible?"
Ding Guo smiled and said, "Why not? If you make a unique hot sauce, as long as it tastes good and has its own unique flavor, it will definitely work." He added, "But if you really want to go commercial, it's not as simple as just eating it at home. The recipe needs to be tried again and again, and there are tricks to selecting ingredients, such as which place has the most fragrant chili peppers, which region has the most flavorful peppercorns, or how about adding crushed peanuts and white sesame seeds..."
Yu Shaofen listened carefully and took what Ding Guo said very seriously. She went back and devoted herself to researching the chili sauce.
The serious people started to work hard, but the result was that Ding Guo and Aunt Qiao felt a little irritated after eating.
Ding Guo also took it to school for several roommates to taste, listened to their comments on the taste and gave suggestions, and then came back to give feedback to Yu Shaofen.
Mosquito also got a few bottles. When he came back to return the bottles, there was a big, shiny blister hanging on the corner of his mouth.
Ding Guo laughed loudly, and while laughing he made a cup of chrysanthemum tea for Mosquito and dropped two drops of well water into it.
The bottle is to be used repeatedly, Yu Shaofen came to get the bottle and collected everyone's opinions. Pei Che rarely had time to come back, and after tasting it, he gave Yu Shaofen's opinion which seemed a bit professional. Yu Shaofen took out a notebook to record it. On the front was written her repeated adjustments to the formula ratio and the heat experience, and on the back was everyone's feedback.
In just a few days, one or two months' salary was all gone.
Ding Guo felt a little guilty when she saw this. She wondered if her Aunt Yu had declared bankruptcy before she even earned any money.
Are those chili sauces delicious? The oily ones are not bad, but they are not amazing and have no special features.
Yu Shaofen herself knew that since she also wanted to start a small business like Ding Guo and other young people, she could not be careless. Even though Ding Dayong and other children said that it was delicious, Yu Shaofen still felt that Ding Guo was right and she had to make a hot sauce with her own characteristics and continue to make adjustments.
After Yu Shaofen finished writing down Pei Che's advice, she looked through the previous records and suddenly said, "Is Yuling embarrassed to give advice or is she too easy to feed?"
I didn’t realize it before I read it, but after I read it, I realized that Song Yuling’s comments on each chili sauce were all delicious, delicious, delicious, delicious, this one was delicious, and that one was also delicious.
Ding Guo blinked his eyes, and realized belatedly that his sister-in-law's taste had changed recently, and she particularly liked spicy food.
Could she be pregnant?
But looking at the couple's behavior when they came over for dinner recently, there seemed to be nothing unusual, they were as heartless as ever.
But I still decided to go to Yuling's school tomorrow and ask her.
Don’t let young people not know that they are pregnant. It will be troublesome if they get hurt accidentally in cold and slippery roads.
Unexpectedly, Peng Guihua came early the next morning, with her hands full of things.
Ding Guo was surprised and delighted. He asked while looking behind her: "Aunt San, why didn't you tell me you were coming so I could pick you up...Where's my uncle?"
Peng Guihua calmly looked at Ding Guo's expression, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Your Third Uncle didn't come, so I came here by myself. I miss Dabao and Xiaobao. There is not much work in the team now, so I will stay for two days and let your Third Uncle take care of Dalin at home!"
Pei Che hadn't returned to the army yet. He came over to take the things from Peng Guihua and greeted her warmly.
Ding Guo walked in holding Peng Guihua's arm. Aunt Qiao also came over to greet them and was busy serving Peng Guihua food.
Ding Guo didn't think much about it. She was suspicious about Song Yuling's situation and wondered if there was really something going on between the two of them. She didn't tell her, but told the elders in the family first. Peng Guihua came to see her daughter-in-law.
As a result, when I saw Song Yuling at noon and asked her quietly, Song Yuling looked confused, then lowered her head to look at her belly: "I don't know, no...right!"
Then he opened his mouth and said "ah", and thought about something blankly, and said uncertainly: "Sister, my... it seems that I didn't have my period this month. How many days has it been delayed? What day is today?"
Ding Guo said speechlessly: "Take a day off tomorrow and go to the hospital for a checkup."
Now that there is a result, I should pay more attention to it.
Song Yuling nodded vigorously.
Knowing that her mother-in-law had come to the capital, she said she would go over in the evening. Ding Guo, on the contrary, told her not to worry, as it had just snowed two days ago, and the temperature was low these two days, so the roads were slippery.
It would have been fine if I didn't know before, but now that I have a guess, I unconsciously became cautious and said, "You stay in school tonight, and be careful when you get on and off the bunk. I'll go tell Dayong later and ask him to take a leave of absence tomorrow to accompany you to the check-up. Remember to fast tomorrow morning."
Song Yuling hesitated and said, "What if I'm overthinking it?"
Ding Guo tapped her head lightly: "The change in your taste in recent times is very obvious compared to before. I think it's almost certain. It's better to be cautious."
Song Yuling blinked and said belatedly, "I thought so. I seem to be particularly greedy recently and I get hungry very quickly."
The snacks she brought to school recently were eaten up very quickly. She thought it was because of the cold weather. Could she really be pregnant?
Song Yuling was a little excited and said, "Sister, then tell my mother and go back to see her tomorrow."
My mother-in-law came over because she must have known that my eldest sister's mother had passed away and was worried about her.
Well, let mother-in-law and eldest sister have a good talk tonight, and after the check-up tomorrow, she will go back with Dayong.
