Chapter 5252 Sharing happiness is worse than sharing happiness alone
Ding Guo changed his mind at the last minute and didn't make all of them salt-baked.
Half baked with salt, half fried with sugar.
She is not good at hands-on work, but she has rich theoretical knowledge, and Ding Dayong is not stupid. Ding Guo taught him step by step, and Ding Dayong got the hang of it quickly. When the finished product came out, the child was full of doubts.
"I did this?"
Ding Dayong felt that he had learned a lot by learning that a walnut could be made into a flower.
Ding Guo looked at the sugar-roasted walnuts and the salt-baked walnut kernels that were poured into the basket and cooled, nodded, and said with encouragement and affirmation: "Don't doubt it, this is what you made, come and try it!"
Ding Dayong tried the salt-baked one, then the one fried with sugar, and said with a chuckle, "Sister, the one fried with sugar tastes better."
With so much sugar in it, he thinks even fried shoe insoles taste good.
Salt-baked... well, actually, if you eat a few and smack them, they are quite fragrant, but he prefers sweet food. They are all delicious, all delicious, with so many ingredients.
There is also salt for salt baking. I have to ask his sister if I can use it for cooking. Anyway, it can’t be wasted.
Ding Guo: "Study hard and teach my Third Aunt when you return home during the Chinese New Year."
After the reform and opening up begins, I can let Third Aunt set up a roasted nuts stall in the city, and the business will definitely be good.
Ding Dayong didn't know about his sister's plan, but he didn't dare to say anything to refute her. He just muttered in his heart that his mother would not be willing to use so much sugar and salt to fry walnuts.
The walnut in his mouth was crispy and fragrant, and became even crispier after being left to dry for a while. It was so delicious that Ding Dayong had to work hard to restrain himself from eating it.
This is what his sister's friend wanted. No matter how delicious it is, you can't eat too much.
"Eat as much as you want. There's some for us to keep." Ding Guo kept two pounds of the roasted walnuts and put them into the cans she had prepared. As long as Ding Dayong didn't mind them, he could eat as much as he wanted.
The rest were packed up and sent to Pei Che.
Ding Dayong planned to help his sister deliver the things. Ding Guo didn't want to reveal Pei Che's address for the time being. After all, Ding Dayong knew the place where the original owner went to the countryside very well. When he saw that the address was wrong, he would definitely be suspicious. So she arranged for him to clean up the vegetable garden, and she would carry the things to the post office herself.
On the surface, she only took walnuts, which were not too heavy, so Ding Dayong did not insist and went to work diligently to tidy up the vegetable garden that had already sprouted.
When Ding Guo came back from the post office, she had two more fans in her hands. She walked in and exclaimed in a pretentious manner: "Finally, some new goods have arrived!"
I have been sleeping in my space these days. When I woke up, I went to chat with people and ask for news. I forgot to buy the fan in advance.
Ding Dayong's eyes widened in shock: "Sister, why did you buy two?"
Ding Guo glared at him and said, "There are two of us, one in the same room."
Ding Dayong, this honest child, was about to cry in anxiety: "Sister, this thing is exquisite and expensive, you can just buy one for yourself and use it at home, why did you buy it for me? No, no, my mother will beat me to death if she knows, let's return one quickly, I am not afraid of the heat!"
This is a fan, as big as a bicycle. Some people cannot afford such a big item when they get married, but his sister actually bought one for him.
Ding Dayong felt mixed emotions. He almost cried just now, and now he really cried. He was touched and distressed. His sister actually bought him such an expensive fan.
But I can’t have it, it’s too expensive!
Ding Guo's mouth twitched: "Look at your lack of ability. I can buy two fans. That means I have the ability to buy two fans, don't you know?"
"I don't know. I just know that this thing is too expensive. Sister, you have to save money for yourself. Let's return one!" Ding Dayong said, wiping his tears.
Ding Guo couldn't stop laughing. She pretended to turn around and look at the door, then lowered her voice and said mysteriously, "I don't make roasted walnuts for nothing. Okay, don't ask any more questions. Anyway, it's enough for you to know that your sister has the ability."
That's good too, as it will pave the way for Ding Dayong to collect items from all over the place in the future.
Finally, after Ding Guo's various consolations, Ding Dayong finally accepted the fact that his sister bought him a fan.
He returned to his room with the fan in his arms, feeling extremely nervous. He carefully lifted up his sweat shirt and wiped it again and again, feeling so moved that he almost couldn't contain himself.
He must be reluctant to use this fan, so he will sew a cloth cover for it to prevent it from getting dusty, and then put it in his house when he gets married in the future.
But it would be best if he could persuade his sister to return it. If his parents knew about this, they would be really hurt, even though he didn't ask his sister to buy the fan.
It’s so expensive!
Seeing his silly cousin like this, Ding Guo decided to temporarily put his plan of picking up the car on hold, and thought about finding a repair stall to get parts and build one himself.
She doesn't know how to save money, but Dayong wants to learn how to repair cars, so let him think about it.
A bicycle is also a car. Since I don’t have a truck to practice on, I can learn how to assemble a bicycle first.
When Ding Dayong heard the news, he was stunned for a moment, then his eyes sparkled with dazzling brilliance, and he rubbed his hands excitedly and asked: "Sister, can you still build a rickshaw by yourself? Is it possible?"
"Whether you can do it depends on your skills." Ding Guo patted his shoulder with a sense of responsibility, "There's no need to rush. You can learn slowly and strive to build your own bicycle in the future."
Once it’s done, you can resell it. It’s both a skill and a business.
Of course, there is no rush to resell them. It would be convenient to save up two and ride them to get off work.
Ding Dayong now has a new goal to strive for, and his life becomes more fulfilling every day.
Ding Guo went to Xinhua Bookstore to buy relevant books for him. The information was not so complete and not so relevant, but Ding Dayong was fascinated by it, which shows that he really likes it.
After work, he went to the car repair shop to chat with the mechanic in the shop. However, his purpose was too obvious this time. He was kicked out by the mechanic after just a few words, saying, "You little bastard, you want to steal my skills."
Ding Dayong was not discouraged. Fengning was so big that there was more than one auto repair shop. He went to another one and pretended to go in to look at the various parts and bargain with the craftsman to get a feel for the market.
When this one became unacceptable, he switched to another one.
In the factory, he had established a good relationship with the old escort who was in charge of him, so he took the other's bicycle to observe it. The old escort asked him curiously, and Ding Dayong did not hide it. He said frankly that he had no tickets and could not afford a new bike, so he wanted to study and see if he could build one himself.
He also asked the old conductor if he had any books on the subject for reference. He actually borrowed a stack of information. After returning home, he worked day and night to copy a copy of the information and keep it for study.
I feel much more energetic than when I was in school.
Ding Guo finished his one-week night shift and switched to the day shift. He was still a little uncomfortable as he didn't have time to wander around during the day.
The atmosphere in each workshop also became somewhat tense.
The factory has just convened a meeting of leaders from all workshops and is about to hold its annual technical competition.
This year is different. In addition to the technical competition, there are also new product development activities.
We encourage cadres and workers in each workshop to research and develop new products. Once their ideas are adopted by the factory, they will be awarded the honors of advanced workshop, advanced group and advanced individual, and will also get 10 more points in the technical competition.
With these 10 points, you can get more honors than just the honor of new product development.
The leaders of each workshop were excited, but after the excitement they started to have headaches again. Developing new products is not that easy!
This has happened before. Factories all over the country have tried to develop new products, but there are only a few products that can be recognized, successfully launched on the market and gain good market response.
Most of them lose money, and very few can create profits for the factory.
Our factory hasn't produced any new products for many years, but for some reason, we are planning to produce this again this year.
Many people complained bitterly, but this was a blow to Ding Guo. She was ready to shine and achieve some results so that she could be transferred to a more comfortable position.
As for what to do, there are too many.
The later generations are in an era of information bombardment. Even though Ding Guo doesn't like cooking, she has watched many nanny-level tutorials related to cooking and baking. This does not prevent her from watching such videos and feeling relieved.
Even though she didn't remember the exact weight of each step and the materials used, it was still an experiment, and failure was allowed in the experiment. Moreover, the development of new products was a group action, not an individual action, and the working people at this time could not be underestimated. As long as she provided ideas, the experienced sisters in the group could find out the reasons for the failure and make adjustments and improvements after repeated production. In the end, they could always imitate and make the finished product described by Ding Guo.
Besides, Ding Guo’s time working in the food factory was not in vain. She has already gained some practical skills, and with the rich theoretical knowledge in her mind, she can figure it out by herself if she tries.
It’s just that you need to think carefully about which dessert to start with.
Having too many things in your mind can sometimes be a problem.
While the brother and sister were busy and fulfilled every day, Liu Guangzong at the garment factory felt like the sky was falling.
Someone actually anonymously reported him for corruption and bribery, and listed more than one case.
He had accepted some small favors in the past for helping others, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. No matter who was looking for someone to do something for him, no one would ask for it with nothing, right?
Yes, there were a few times when he took things or money but didn't do the job properly, and he didn't return the things or money. But he also felt that there was nothing wrong with it. Although he didn't get things done, he did help to put in the words or run errands. Did he just ask for it in vain and run errands in vain?
This kind of thing is something that the people don't report and the officials don't investigate, so who the hell is so idle to bring up Liu Guangzong's old accounts?
Oh, the report also mentioned that his son's return to the city did not comply with the policy...
Who the hell is this? I’m going to kill him!
Facing the comrades in the investigation team, Liu Guangzong broke out in a cold sweat and kept protesting his innocence.
I was also quickly thinking in my mind whether there was any evidence left for the things I was reported for.
Apart from the matter of his son returning to the city, there is no evidence of other gift-receiving incidents.
But I’m afraid they will ask the person involved. If he is not in his right mind and tells everything, then it will be all over.
The case involving his son really cannot withstand investigation, but he also had the help of connections at the time. The other party was not a small cadre in the garment factory like him. He had connections and networks, and if he could investigate that person and that link, he should be able to help him suppress the matter.
Liu Guangzong went over the whole thing in his mind and felt slightly relieved. Now he would just refuse to admit it and wait and see how far the investigation team could find out. He would see which fool he had dealings with would succumb to intimidation and inducement and tell everything. He would then deal with the specific situation accordingly.
"Old Zhang, don't you know who I am?" Liu Guangzong said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "How could I do such a thing?"
The members of the investigation team are all colleagues in the factory. They don’t have a very good relationship, but they all know each other and greet each other when they meet on the street.
This kind of thing usually doesn't directly alert the public security department. Most of the time the factory will conduct a self-inspection first, and as long as the circumstances are not particularly serious, the factory will handle it on its own.
In the case where he was reported, even if the evidence was conclusive, the factory would directly impose punishment and would not alert the police.
Liu Guangzong knew what was going on, so he was a little panicked, but not too much. He tried to get close to the person, not to mention whether he would be punished or not, but to see if he could find the person who reported him so that he could crush the person to death.
"Comrade Liu Guangzong, please be serious and answer our questions seriously!"
The colleague who was called "Lao Zhang" by Liu Guangzong frowned, feeling very unhappy, and said in a harsh voice.
Liu Guangzong is a problematic person who is currently under investigation. Wouldn't it bring him into trouble if we approach him in such a way in front of other colleagues in the investigation team?
Besides, he was not that familiar with Liu Guangzong.
Liu Guangzong smiled apologetically and looked at everyone else in turn. Everyone avoided Liu Guangzong's gaze and asked questions in a serious tone with their eyelids lowered.
Liu Guangzong cursed in his heart, but he had to protest his injustice on the surface.
Even if the final investigation results show that he has no problems this time, his plan for promotion at the end of the year is probably going to be a failure.
Liu Guangzong was almost vomiting to death.
When Xiao Hong heard the news at the factory, she immediately rode her bike to the food factory to find Ding Guo and excitedly told her that Liu Guangzong was being investigated.
Before Ding Guo was about to report Liu Guangzong, she asked Xiao Hong to help her find out whether Ding Dayong's dismissal was concealed. Xiao Hong told her to report it boldly and without worry, as Liu Guangzong would not suspect her.
After all, this girl has an uncle who is a leader in the Revolutionary Committee. Her uncle particularly likes his niece Xiao Hong and teaches her a lot, so Xiao Hong is very cautious in this regard.
Besides, she wouldn't be afraid even if Liu Guangzong really found out, because she had a background.
In order to repay Xiao Hong for helping her so much, Ding Guo would find a suitable time and opportunity to remind Xiao Hong to see if she could help her uncle avoid the incident in advance.
The book doesn't focus much on Uncle Xiao Hong, but it also clearly expresses that Uncle Xiao Hong does not rely on his position to do evil and harm people indiscriminately.
It seemed that it was because he refused to go along with others that he was maliciously framed later.
Xiao Hong said regretfully, "In fact, the biggest problem with Liu Guangzong is that his son violated the rules and returned to the city. But he must have had connections and background to get this done. In order to avoid being implicated, the people he found would definitely suppress this matter. As for his taking bribes, he will definitely not admit it if he helps others, and he will never admit it, because once he admits it, he will be implicated and may even lose his job. The only thing left is the things he hasn't done and hasn't returned to others. The total amount is not that large, so the factory should punish him. If it's serious, he will be removed from his position, but it won't reach the point of being fired. As for the reason..."
As Xiao Hong spoke, she opened the two small oil-paper packages that Ding Guo handed to her. Each package contained a handful of roasted walnuts of different flavors. She picked up one and threw it into her mouth. "Liu Guangzong's father has made great contributions to the factory... Hey, why are these walnuts so sweet? They are delicious!"
She looked mysteriously at the food factory behind Ding Guo and whispered, "What new products are coming out of your factory?"
You can tell from the taste of this walnut that it has been processed. It is coated with a layer of sugar, and the coating is very even, not too thick or too thin. The walnut is also particularly crispy and fragrant. After eating one, you will want to eat a second one.
She thought that this was something Ding Guo had taken from the factory, so she quickly wrapped it in oil paper and tried to stuff it into her cross-body bag.
Ding Guo stopped her from doing this, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and said, "This is what my cousin fried himself. One is fried with sugar, and the other is baked with salt. You can try them all. I'll bring you whichever one you like next time I make it."
Xiao Hong was surprised: "Your cousin can also do this?"
The overly bright smiling face of Ding Dayong in front of the bulletin board on the day he was admitted to the garment factory emerged in her mind.
I really couldn't tell that Ding Dayong could make such a delicate snack.
Ding Guo spared no effort to praise his younger brother, and said with a smile: "This child is very hardworking. He can even make steamed buns and cornbread, and his cooking skills are not bad either."
My cooking skills are still not as good as Third Aunt’s, but now that she has trained me, I’m much better than before. Compared with most people, my cooking skills are pretty good.
Xiao Hong widened her eyes in surprise and said with a smile: "Oh, I really can't tell."
She thought it was both funny and interesting. She had never seen a boy of this age who could cook.
Of course, it was a good-natured teasing, and he casually said, "I'll have a chance to try your brother's cooking."
She said this in a hurry, but only realized it was inappropriate after she said it, and felt a little embarrassed.
Ding Guo readily agreed and said, "No problem, come to my house someday when you are free, and we can have a meal together."
"I was just kidding." Xiao Hong blushed and said, "What about Liu Guangzong's father? Why are you talking about this..."
She hurriedly talked about Liu Guangzong's father.
Liu Guangzong's father lost an arm while protecting the interests of the factory, so the factory will take special care of Liu Guangzong for the sake of Mr. Liu's face. In short, Liu Guangzong cannot be forced to death because of this incident.
Ding Guo sighed regretfully.
If he can't be killed, then don't worry. If the people in the investigation team are more capable, they can remove Liu Guangzong from his position, which will be enough to make that guy feel uncomfortable.
Even if you can't get the job, your hope of getting promoted is slim.
So no matter how you calculate it, Liu Guangzong suffered more.
This made Ding Guo feel relieved.
After Xiao Hong left, Ding Guo returned to the workshop in a good mood and continued her experiment with her new mooncakes.
The factory is currently busy preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival. After much deliberation, Ding Guo finally decided to start with mooncakes, which is also in line with the occasion.
However, she cannot be the only one to know that Liu Guangzong is under investigation. Sharing joy with others is worse than enjoying it alone. Yue Hongmei must be allowed to "have fun" with them. I just don't know if she can be happy about it.
Ding Guo went to the post office at noon and called Yue Hongmei. When Yue Hongmei picked up the phone, she spoke in a hoarse voice, imitating the tone of those big villains in the fairy-tale TV series in her previous life. She lowered her voice very low, stretched out her tone and said slowly and faintly: "Liu Guangzong is under investigation!"
Then he hung up the phone.
Yue Hongmei: ...
