Chapter 88 Although Ding Zhigang did not curse the heavens or the earth, he was full of anger...
Sun Bocai was willing to spend her time and money to take the train for this trip, but of course she didn't really want to go to the hospital to take care of Ding Nianjun. If she went, people might glare at her when they mocked Ding Nianjun, and she didn't want to get involved in this bad luck. She came here to watch the fun, without hiding it at all.
After watching the fun, I mocked my elder sister-in-law who was always so arrogant and made her face turn blue several times. Then I got up and left with satisfaction. In the evening, I went to a state-owned restaurant with my niece who I had just met to have a good meal. I paid for the ticket with a heavy heart.
She stayed in her daughter's dormitory overnight and spent the night there. The next morning, she happily took the bus back to the village, carrying the two salted fish that Ding Guo had given her.
Ding Guo didn't want to let his aunt go back empty-handed, even if it was just a short performance relationship, so he gave her two salted fish.
Ding Guo went to work on time and was in a good mood.
Things are not over for Dante’s family yet, and they are very bad.
Ding Nianjun was fired by the factory and has not yet been discharged from the hospital. The textile factory arranged for the union to come and ask her when her belongings in the dormitory will be moved out, while other employees are waiting to move in.
Housing is in short supply, and dormitory beds are also in short supply. The housing management department of the factory has to receive countless employees every day, some asking for separate rooms, some applying for dormitories, and there is never a day without noise.
Before Ding Nianjun's dismissal notice was posted, people who knew the inside information in advance had already started asking about dormitory beds.
The factory was not unkind. Considering that Ding Nianjun was not feeling well and was still in the hospital, it would be inappropriate to rush him. However, the employees waiting to move in were anxious. Especially after the penalty notice was posted, a group of single female employees rushed into the Housing Management Section, and the noise was so loud that it almost blew the roof of the office off.
If that berth is not quickly arranged, the people in the housing management department will have no peace of mind.
There was no other choice but to arrange someone to come and mobilize Ding Nianjun to move his things away as soon as possible.
He did not come empty-handed, he brought half a pound of brown sugar and two cans. His attitude was very kind and he was smiling, but what he said was unquestionable.
Ding Nianjun bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes. She hated the people from the Revolutionary Committee who investigated the matter, and also felt a little resentful towards Yue Hongmei.
It was clearly said back then that all she had to do was spend money and use connections to arrange a job. As long as there was a position occupied and she didn't have to go to the countryside, it would be fine. Then she could slowly plan and transfer. But Yue Hongmei insisted that being a cadre was easy and respectable, and that it would bring her honor if she told others about it, so she secretly bought the test papers for her.
In fact, if you don't pay for her answers, her answers won't be too bad. Even if she can't become a cadre, she can still be a workshop worker.
Why do you have to buy the test questions for her just to save face?
If she had only bought a job and it had been exposed now, she wouldn't have been fired and she wouldn't have been so embarrassed.
"Comrade Ding?"
Seeing that she was keeping her head down and not saying anything, the people at the textile factory patiently called her and continued with a smile, "I heard that Comrade Lu Xiaomei is your sister-in-law. How about asking Comrade Xiaomei to help you move out your things?"
Ding Nianjun didn't want to move, but she was no longer eligible to live in the textile factory dormitory.
She was supposed to have a perfect ending at the textile factory.
On the day they got the marriage certificate, Dingfeng said that once the family crisis was over, he would help her find a job in the capital and transfer her directly from Fengning.
She had imagined how many people would envy her when the transfer order from the capital unit was sent to the factory, and she even planned to treat a few colleagues to a meal...
She thought about this and that, but she never thought that she would leave the factory in such an embarrassing situation.
Tears fell, dripped onto the white sheet with "People's Hospital" printed on it, and disappeared.
Ding Nianjun nodded.
The union people left, and Ding Nianjun slowly lay down, pulled the quilt to cover his head, and sobbed silently.
Lu Xiaomei is so annoyed!
She stayed in the hospital all night last night and didn't get a good rest at all. She was in a daze during the day and almost made a mistake. As a result, when she was about to get off work, someone from the factory came to inform her to help Ding Nianjun vacate the dormitory. Lu Xiaomei was stunned for a moment and her face turned pale.
Yes, Ding Nianjun was fired and can no longer live in the dormitory. Now this already small and crowded house has to have another person moving in. How to arrange it?
Lu Xiaomei felt as if there was something stuck in her chest, unable to move up or down, making her feel uncomfortable.
Today was miserable enough.
It used to be an honor to have a sister who was a cadre, but now it is so embarrassing.
And that friend has now become her sister-in-law.
When she got married a few days ago, her coworkers were joking with her, saying that she was lucky because her partner was good-looking and her sister-in-law was a good friend from the past, so there would be no conflicts between the two sisters-in-law. Moreover, her sister-in-law had found a partner from a high-ranking official family, so they would be able to benefit from it in the future.
But at this moment, those same co-workers looked at her with meaningful eyes, which made her feel uncomfortable.
I also don’t know what’s happening with my mother-in-law. I don’t know how to deal with it in the end. If the consequences are serious, she won’t be able to hold her head up in the factory anymore.
Why is she so unlucky? What kind of family did she choose? Not long after getting married, bad things happened one after another. It's really unlucky.
"It's okay, everything will be fine. Nianjun is going to have a wedding banquet soon, and we'll go to the capital after the banquet."
Lu Xiaomei took a long breath and exhaled heavily. Yes, it was just a few days, could she not endure it?
It's a subtle thing to say. When they were friends before, she knew that Ding Nianjun's elder sister from the countryside had returned. She was afraid that her good sister would suffer, so she gave her good sister a lot of advice, telling her to cherish her parents' love, to gather her brothers and sisters together, and also to not let the elder sister who returned take advantage of the family for a penny.
Now that she has become a member of that family, she feels so uncomfortable when she thinks that Ding Nianjun is going to move back and live there for a while.
Fortunately, she was able to control her emotions and suppress the discomfort. She went to the dormitory to help Ding Nianjun pack up his things, tied them on the back seat of the bicycle, and rode back home.
After entering the door, she saw her mother-in-law in the living room and she was relieved: "Mom, you're back!"
Now that my mother-in-law is back, things aren't so bad.
Little did she know that Yue Hongmei's eyes were looking at her in a subtle way.
The original intention of letting the eldest son get married was to bring good luck, add some happiness to the family, and also let Nianjun have a smooth life.
Although Ding Zhigang forced her to solemnly swear an oath with Jianguo, she still had the idea of getting married with good fortune in her heart, and she even bowed around when no one was around.
Now that the eldest son is married and his new wife has come home, not only has it failed to boost the family fortunes, it has also ruined Nianjun's job.
Even if there are some complicated reasons behind this, how could it be such a coincidence?
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Lu Xiaomei felt a chill on her back when she saw her mother-in-law's gloomy gaze, and she asked hurriedly.
Yue Hongmei retracted her gaze and shook her head: "It's okay, I was pissed off by a vixen today, and now I have a severe headache and dizziness. Xiaomei, you've worked hard these past two days, go cook, and I'll go back to the room and lie down."
Lu Xiaomei was stunned for a moment. She almost burst out the anger she had been holding back for a day. She took a deep breath to suppress it, but her voice was still a little sharp: "Mom, didn't you cook?"
There was a noise behind the door, and my father-in-law, Ding Jianguo, and Ding Jianshe came in one after another. Hearing this, Ding Zhigang said, "Your mother just came back, let her rest. Xiaomei, go and cook."
Ding Jianguo also said casually: "Hurry up and cook first, Nianjun is still waiting in the hospital. I will send the meal to Nianjun first after it is ready."
The fire in Lu Xiaomei's heart jumped to the top of her head, then fell back into her chest, jumping back and forth but unable to get it out of her mouth.
If her sister-in-law wasn't her good sister, she would have cursed her without thinking: "Is it glorious to work in the hospital? She got pregnant before marriage and brought shame to the family!"
But she didn't dare to say it, and was too embarrassed to say it, so she took a deep breath and went to the kitchen.
The next day, Ding Nianjun was discharged from the hospital and taken back to the family home.
Sleeping arrangements were a problem.
In the end, Yue Hongmei had to sacrifice her second and third sons and let them sleep on the floor in the living room. Ding Nianjun temporarily lived in their room, and Ding Xiang also moved in.
After Ding Nianjun got married and moved to the capital, the Ding Jianshe brothers moved back to their own bedrooms.
Ding Zhigang was unhappy, as his eldest daughter's sarcastic words recurred to his ears. However, thinking that his adopted daughter was pregnant, he didn't say anything, but his face remained gloomy.
Pan Dingfeng, whom Ding Nianjun was looking forward to, still didn't come.
Ding Nianjun confirmed with Lu Xiaomei again that she had indeed called Pan Dingfeng, and it was Pan Dingfeng himself who answered the call. He was very happy to know that Nianjun was pregnant and said that he would buy a ticket and come over immediately.
But why hasn’t he come yet?
Ding Nianjun wanted to wait for Pan Dingfeng to come and then take her directly to the capital, and then her parents would go over on the wedding day.
After only staying at home for one day, she couldn't stand it anymore.
Her mother still loved her very much and hugged her and cried for a while, but after crying she kept complaining about the misfortunes in the family and that the wife she introduced to her eldest brother was not good for the family. She had hurriedly arranged a wedding for Jianguo in the hope of changing the family's fortune, but in the end the family's fortune did not improve but instead declined. She also complained about the grievances she had suffered in the Revolutionary Committee and said that she was scared to death at that time.
In the end, she started cursing, cursing Ding Guo and cursing God. Anyway, Yue Hongmei's temper suddenly became much more irritable.
Although Ding Zhigang did not curse the heavens or the earth, the air pressure around him was too low and his face was terribly dark.
Having been a father and daughter for so many years, she was too familiar with Ding Zhigang's temper. He thought what she had done was shameful and brought shame to the family.
The news of her pregnancy spread somehow. Not only her colleagues at the textile factory knew about it, but also her neighbors in the housing estate. Although no one said it explicitly, the looks they cast on her when she came back yesterday made her feel uneasy. She didn't go out the whole day today, but the overly depressing atmosphere at home made her feel uncomfortable.
Ding Zhigang had a dark face. Which of his children dared to talk or laugh? This resulted in an eerie silence at night even though the house was packed with people.
The next day, Ding Nianjun endured the inquiring gazes of her neighbors and went out to make a phone call to the capital, but the result made her feel cold all over.
"What does it mean that your father was investigated?" Ding Nianjun covered the microphone and lowered his voice. His voice trembled so badly that his teeth even chattered uncontrollably.
He had received a call before and learned that Ding Nianjun was pregnant. He wanted to buy a ticket to Fengning, but someone from the army suddenly came to the house and took his father away. He has not returned yet.
Pan Dingfeng's voice was full of fatigue, but some things were hard to say over the phone, so he said vaguely: "It's just that the results of a case that year were a little different. Let's investigate. You don't need to be too nervous."
His father had used some tricks to attack his competitors. He clearly said that he destroyed the evidence after the matter was done, but he didn't expect that the evidence was not only not destroyed, but also dug up by someone, and was found by Uncle Qi.
This incident dealt a heavy blow to Pan Dingfeng. Even though he was slow to react to these complicated matters, he understood that Uncle Qi had always been on guard against their family, or that there would come a day when he would plot against their family.
Obviously, the relationship between the two sides was so good in the past years, and Uncle Qi loved him so much...
Nianjun is important, as are his mother and his elder brother. Besides, given the current situation at home, he can't just leave. He can only comfort her: "Junjun, I will go to Fengning to see you after I finish my work in the next few days. Don't worry about your work, whether it's work or our children. You don't have to worry. I will go there as soon as I finish my work here."
After the phone call, Ding Nianjun didn't know how she walked out of the post office. She remembered that she squatted on the side of the road for a long time and vomited for a long time. She vomited until she was dizzy. In the end, she didn't know how she got home and lay on the bed in a daze.
She couldn't understand why Pan Yuanzheng, such a high-ranking person, was being investigated?
Can the Pan family still maintain its current status? If something goes wrong...what will she do?
She was married and had a child, but she lost her job here and her reputation. If anything really happened to the Pan family, she would have no way out!
"Junjun, what's wrong with you? What did Dingfeng say?"
Yue Hongmei pushed the door open gently and called out softly.
Just now, my daughter came in from outside, her face was frighteningly pale. She called Junjun several times but he didn't respond. Not only did he not respond, he went straight back to the bedroom as if he had lost his soul.
She was pretty scared.
Ding Nianjun's eyes moved, and when she saw the person who loved her the most, she suddenly burst into tears: "Mom——"
She is so miserable!
Why did things turn out like this!
On the other side, Ding Guo and his colleagues came out of the department store and sighed in unison: Crackers were born at the wrong time!
The biscuits produced have been distributed, and the sales situation is different from that of the new products before the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Sales were booming at that time because everyone was buying holiday items, so sales and feedback were fast.
Now the desserts that are placed there can only wait for people who need them to buy them, so the feedback time is prolonged.
But several tellers in the department store gave Ding Guo good feedback.
It tastes good, and has a more caramelized texture than ordinary bread. If they were ordinary customers and accidentally bought this dessert, they would choose to repurchase it.
"Don't worry about not selling well. With the new dim sum on the market, most customers who come in are curious. Those who have spare money and pastry tickets are willing to buy some to try. Once they've tried it, they will definitely come back to buy it again." The lady cashier agreed.
Xiao Hong was very busy. She immediately bought two big bags and brought them back to the company, treated her colleagues to them, and actively promoted the product.
Another one is Xiao Ling. As an employee of the second factory, she also bought some and brought them to the company. In addition to sharing them with her colleagues, she also wanted to discuss whether the second factory should apply to produce this product.
Ding Guo is not so anxious. She is still very confident in this product. It’s just that she will not create the grand occasion of new mooncakes and new breads.
On Wednesday at noon, Ding Guo received a package sent from Huiyang. In addition to corn and various dried vegetables, there were also four pairs of cloth shoes, two pairs for Ding Dayong and two pairs for Ding Guo.
Ding Guo collected some dried kelp and salted fish, bought some cloth and a large bag of biscuits from the mall, put them into a package, wrote a letter, and went to the post office to send it at noon the next day. When he was about to leave, he met Ding Nianjun who came to call at the door.
