Chapter 273 Chapter 273 End of the text
The battle on the front line was still going on. Mr. Pei's old injuries relapsed due to continuous command of the battle for a long time, and he fainted during the meeting.
After receiving treatment locally, he was forcibly withdrawn by the organization and returned to the capital for recuperation.
Pei Che had another mission, and he also had to send his grandfather back.
The old man was a little angry about being forcibly sent back: "The situation over there is so tense, changing the generals at the last minute is a big taboo, it's simply ridiculous!" He added, "I haven't had this old problem for a few years. I'm just a little tired recently. I'll be fine after resting for two days. What a fuss!"
He was carried onto the plane while he was asleep, and when he opened his eyes, the plane had already landed in the capital.
After leaving the airport, he refused to go to the hospital and insisted on going home. Pei Che knew that his grandfather was unhappy and upset, so he could only let him be. Now that he was taking his anger out on him, he could only coax him.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his wife coming with their two children and brother-in-law.
When his wife comes, grandpa will stop scolding him.
Sure enough, when Ding Guo called out "Grandpa", Dazhu followed his sister and called out "Grandpa", and Dabao and Xiaobao called out "Great Grandpa". The old man's originally gloomy face instantly turned into a kind smile, and he responded one after another, his voice was unusually gentle.
Pei Che: ...
Xiao Bao was wearing a winter-style light brown cashmere skirt, a pair of black leather boots, a pair of pigtails, and two butterfly hairpins. She rushed to the old man's bed and asked in a baby voice, "Grandpa, are you sick? If you are sick, why don't you see a doctor? Are you afraid of injections?"
On the way here, I heard my mother tell me that my great-grandfather was ill. The little guy kept it in mind and raised a series of questions.
The old man was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, raised his hand to rub Xiaobao's head, and Xiaobao cooperated by leaning forward with his little head.
He hadn't seen his great-granddaughter for nearly a year. Not only had she grown taller, but she had also become more adorable. The old man felt his heart melt. He no longer had any anger at all. The whole house was filled with his loud laughter.
Over there, Ding Guo looked at the man standing beside the old man's bed whom he hadn't seen for a year. He wasn't darker, but he was thinner. His handsome features had become more resolute, and the sharpness between his eyebrows was like a sword drawn from its sheath, its edge sparkling.
However, when the sharp light turned to her, it seemed to have a soft light effect, becoming gentle and soft: "Wife!"
Ding Guo felt a surge of bitterness in his heart.
After being separated for a year, Ding Guo was not without thoughts about her man, but she could only hide all her thoughts and worries, keep herself busy and not think about anything else.
Seeing you now, the longing that had been suppressing my heart seemed to be unsealed. My heart felt sore and swollen, and an indescribable discomfort surged up in my heart.
Pei Che took two steps forward, and in these short two steps he even moved sideways to avoid Dabao who was hugging his thigh, and stepped forward to hug his wife.
Dabao's open little hand was still suspended in mid-air, and he turned his head in confusion.
Dazhu's eyelids twitched, and he reached out and grabbed his nephew Zhang Yang's embarrassed little fat paw in the air, took him to the bedside, and expressed his concern for the old man's health in a gentle voice.
With elders and juniors around, Ding Guo hugged her and then suppressed his reluctance to let her go and gently pushed her away, glaring at Pei Che with red eyes.
Don't think she didn't see what the man did just now.
Pei Che touched his nose and laughed.
He also missed his daughter and son, but he missed his wife more. At that time, he wanted to hug his wife so much that he subconsciously avoided the hand extended by his son.
It’s okay, that boy is careless, he can be coaxed after a while.
However, he was also stabbed by his daughter. After the little girl came in, she didn't even glance at him, as if he, her father, didn't exist, and went straight to her great-grandfather.
I have to let my daughter coax him later... Never mind, I'm afraid it's just wishful thinking, let him coax my daughter instead.
At the persuasion of his granddaughter-in-law and Shao Xunping who had rushed back, the old man was admitted to the military hospital, underwent a comprehensive examination, and needed an operation. The old man had no choice but to accept the fact of being hospitalized, recuperate, and prepare for the operation.
The hospital arranged for a nurse and a security guard to take care of him. However, Shao Xunping and Ding Guo still went there every day. Ding Guo found opportunities to refill the thermos in the ward with well water several times, helping the old man to recuperate and receiving old friends who came to visit him.
The Song and Huang families also came, chatted with the old man for a while, and then said goodbye and left.
Originally wanted to call Aunt Zhang to take care of him, but the old man disagreed: "Let Xiao Zhang spend the New Year at home, and notify her after the New Year."
Because the old man went to the south, Aunt Zhang has been on vacation for almost a year. She usually goes to the compound to clean, so the house is always very clean.
This time the old man came back so suddenly that there was no time to notify Aunt Zhang.
On the third day after the New Year, Aunt Zhang received a notice that her old leader had returned, and she quickly packed up her things to take care of him.
Pei Che did not spend the New Year at home. He spent a short time with his wife and children, and then left in a hurry.
But once I finish things here, I can come back once before going back to the south.
Before leaving, Ding Guo took off the amulet from him and put it on himself, then bought a new one for him to wear.
Ding Guo also did not forget to settle accounts with Haozi: "The amulet has been returned to me. There should be no time limit for this thing."
Mouse: ...
It suspected that its host was cheating, and it had evidence.
This rule is not included in the original rules and needs to be applied for.
The superior was silent for a long time and then gave a compromise compensation solution.
After all, they have been given to people. They can detect the wearing records and determine that it was not worn by the host before. Therefore, they no longer enjoy permanent rights when they return to the host, and are given a five-year permission.
Ding Guo was quite satisfied, but after all, he helped them improve the rules, so he took advantage of the situation.
I'm so used to it that I just brought it up subconsciously.
So, a flour grinder was added to her space.
Like a washing machine, it is driven by special energy.
As for threshing, this living rat can do it, but it cannot grind flour.
A new task has been added to Haozi's daily work: grinding the wheat grains that have been saved over the years into flour.
Ding Guo also asked it to grind some cornmeal and millet flour.
Mouse: ...
It was a good system, but its style has gone awry and there is no way back to normal.
I have accepted my fate!
In addition to making porridge with the ground millet flour, Ding Guo also made a batch of bread.
Aunt Qiao and Wang Chunhua were both amazed. It was the first time they knew millet flour could be used to make bread, and it was delicious.
Ding Guo also let the two children eat meat. She made some low-sugar dishes for them. Although they were not very sweet, the special taste and deliciousness opened the eyes of the young and old children who had not had much experience. They shouted "Long live Mom" and rushed to say that this was the most delicious thing in the world.
Ding Guo's mouth twitched when he heard this: "It tastes even better than meat..."
The two kids don’t care, now this bread is their new favorite and the most delicious thing.
Aunt Qiao turned her head away and smiled secretly. Poor child, he was easy to fool because of his young age, he didn't even know he was being fooled by his old mother.
She tried the two children’s less-sugar version, and well... it was just a little softer than steamed buns, and had a milky flavor, so it was only slightly more delicious than steamed buns.
The sweet ones on the side are still more delicious.
Ding Guo didn't feel guilty at all. Why would a child eat something too sweet?
Even so, the two kids were still not satisfied after eating two each and wanted to eat more, but were ruthlessly rejected by their old mother.
The bread looks big, but there is actually not much when you pinch it. But we can't just let them eat as much as they want.
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the old man underwent surgery, and Ding Guo and Shao Xunping stayed in the hospital with him.
The operation went smoothly. The old man woke up when he returned to the ward and looked quite energetic.
Brothers Dayong and Dazhu came over and discussed staying to accompany Shao Xunping at night. Shao Xunping was very touched by the two children's kindness but declined.
With the nurse, the security guard and Aunt Zhang, as well as her presence, there is no need to trouble the children.
The old man also said, "There are caregivers here, just focus on your own business." He then looked at Dayong and said, "Bring the child to me when you have time."
I was always afraid that the children would disturb the old man. Two days ago, Dayong and Song Yuling came to visit but did not bring Xiao Ruirui with them. Today, he and Dazhu came too.
Ding Dayong quickly agreed with a smile.
After chatting for a while, the two brothers left to avoid disturbing the old man's rest. Shao Xunping asked Ding Guo to go with her two brothers and said, "You don't have to come over in the afternoon. Take a good rest at home. I'm here."
After the three siblings left, the old man said, "Guoguo and his two brothers are really good. Dazhu is growing up and is a promising child."
When I went to Yangjiawo to propose marriage, Dazhu still had a childish look on his face. Now he looks like an adult. He speaks and acts very steadily. He has a different temperament from his brother. Dazhu is full of bookish air.
Shao Xunping smiled and said, "Of course, my in-laws know how to teach children. Their third child, Dalin, has grown into a grown man, and he is quite mature."
Mr. Pei nodded with a smile: "In my impression, Dalin is still a child. I haven't seen him for a few years. If you calculate his age, he is already a young man, haha."
After chatting for a while, Mr. Pei felt tired and fell asleep with his eyes closed.
Shao Xunping left the ward quietly and called her daughter and eldest son who were worried about the old man.
Ding Guo was not idle when he returned home. He and Aunt Qiao made a batch of beef jerky, mutton, and pork sauce. These were for Pei Che, using the meat in the space.
I also got a batch of chili sauce from Aunt Yu.
After Pei Che finished his work here, he stayed at home for two days, took the things his wife had prepared for him, and returned to the south.
With Pei Che's departure, the old man was discharged from the hospital and stayed in the capital, and Ding Guo also resumed his busy life.
This year, there was a small change in their cooperation. After discussion, the three of them gave Lu Wenming 3% of the shares.
Lu Wenming has contributed a lot to the clothing business. Without Lu Wenming keeping an eye on that business in the south, their development would not have been as rapid as it is today.
Lu Wenming originally wanted to save up some capital to start a business after graduation, but with these 3% shares, he changed his mind and decided to work hard with Ding Guo and the others.
During the summer vacation, Ding Guo and his two companions went to Guangzhou and negotiated with two factories that Lu Wenming had inspected and placed two small orders for overalls.
It always takes a few adjustments for a new cooperative manufacturer before Ding Guo will increase the order volume. He inspected three textile factories, looked at the fabrics and patterns in the factories, and selected one to sign a supply contract for four types of fabrics.
Bell-bottom pants and wide-leg pants are not out of fashion yet. Even in cities where they have been sold, they are still mainstream popular styles, and there is still a huge market waiting for them to expand across the country.
With just these few models, they can still reap the dividends for several years.
The cram school is still going on this year.
The approval for private commercial educational institutions has not yet been obtained. Song Chengli has made a proposal, but he is not the one who has the final say, so he needs to continue to propose and hold meetings to discuss this new model.
Even though there is still no profit and it can only barely earn enough to subsidize the teachers, Ding Guo is willing to stick with it.
Commercialization won’t be long.
The business developed steadily, and Ding Guo, Mosquito and Song Yuling also began to prepare their graduation thesis.
As the first batch of college students after the resumption of the college entrance examination, they not only have a special start time but also a special graduation time. They will graduate in 1981, which is the end of this year, in December of the lunar calendar and January of 1982 in the solar calendar.
Ding Guo planned to continue his postgraduate studies and submitted an application to the school.
After talking with her mother, Mosquito also decided to pursue graduate studies.
After being assigned to a unit, I still do private business while working, but the unit does not allow it.
It would be better to continue studying and wait until you graduate from graduate school to see how the situation develops.
Aunt Yu Shaofen was reported by a colleague and called into the factory for a talk.
Yu Shaofen applied for unpaid leave from the factory and concentrated on her chili sauce business. She recently developed a new model.
Sun Shuqin respects her daughter's choice.
She had originally wanted to wait for Ding Guo to graduate and help her find a job she liked, to repay Ding Guo for helping her find her daughter. But later, as they got to know each other more, she vaguely guessed that Ding Guo's in-laws had an extraordinary background, so she knew that she didn't need to worry about this matter.
Now seeing that Ding Guo and his colleagues' business is booming, Ding Guo can make a name for himself in other fields even if he doesn't join the company.
She simply stopped being obsessed with this and just bought things for the two children from time to time. Sometimes she delivered them herself, and sometimes she asked Yueyue to bring them over.
Song Yuling did not plan to pursue a master's degree. Her former unit had already contacted her and promised her a management position if she returned after graduation.
In the blink of an eye, it’s the end of the year.
As news came from his hometown of Huiyang that the property was to be distributed to households, Ding Guo also received his university diploma. After attending a class party, he had a farewell drink with several roommates, officially bidding farewell to his college life and preparing to welcome a new stage.
Of course, Wang Xinmai was not among the roommates.
After the report, Wang Xinmai was angry that her roommates all sided with Ding Guo, so she unilaterally cut off ties with Song Yan and others. It was only when her roommates later discovered that Wang Xinmai ignored them that they realized she had cut off ties with them.
Later, Wang Xinmai exchanged dormitories with a girl named Zhao Ruxue, who was from the Economics Department. After moving in, he got along well with Song Yan, Ding Guo and others. He cried his eyes out during the dinner.
Ding Guo was the only one in the dormitory who planned to continue his further studies. The other roommates accepted the assignments and started working in their respective units after the new year.
Zhao Ruxue also asked Ding Guo whether her business would continue while she was studying for a master's degree, and whether she could discuss work needs with her in the future.
Ding Guo was of course welcome, and she was also willing to chat with her new roommate and discuss future economic development. Who knows, she might be able to use him in the future.
Zhao Ruxue wants to enter the banking system.
After the dinner, Ding Guo stayed in the dormitory for one night. Everyone talked late into the night by candlelight. It was not until five in the morning that the sound of even breathing could be heard from the dormitory.
Ding Guo was not asleep. She quietly folded the bedding on the bed.
The things in the cupboard had been taken away long ago, leaving only a set of bedding.
He tied himself up with a bed sheet, got out of bed quietly, and walked to the dormitory door carrying the bag that was neither big nor small. He turned around and took a deep look at the dormitory with its still simple facilities and his roommate who was sleeping soundly with his head covered. He opened the door, went out, gently closed the door, and strode away.
In the dormitory, Song Yan opened her eyes, lifted the pillowcase to wipe the corners of her eyes, turned over, closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Here, when Ding Guo was about to leave the school gate on his bike, he almost bumped into Pei Che who was riding his bike into the school gate.
The dim light couldn't hide the surprise on Ding Guo's face: "You're back?"
Pei Che got out of the car with a gentle smile and a little apology: "I'm still a step late and missed your graduation ceremony."
When I got home late last night, I found out that my wife stayed at school. I planned to come and pick her up early in the morning, but I saw Guoguo as soon as I entered the school gate.
He glanced at the blanket his wife had tied up on the back seat and said, "Go home?"
Ding Guo's bike lightly touched the front wheel of Pei Che's bike, and smiled: "I wanted to go home directly, but since you're here, please ride around the school with me."
Although she would continue to study after the New Year, Pei Che came back after this period ended, and she wanted Pei Che to accompany her to end this period together.
Pei Che smiled and said, "Okay!"
The two pushed the bike and walked into the morning mist of the winter campus.
