Chapter 89 Pan Yuanzheng was demoted, and his family moved from their single-family house...
When their eyes met, Ding Guo was slightly surprised.
After just not seeing each other for a few days, Ding Nianjun seemed like a different person.
She still remembered the first time she saw the heroine when she first entered the book. She was confident and bright, with a fair and clean oval face, full of energy, light in her eyes, and little calculations that were not easy for others to detect.
At this time, Ding Nianjun still had that oval face, but it was sallow, her expression was decadent, her eyes were lifeless, and even her two ponytails had lost their luster, and were showing signs of turning yellow.
Maybe it's because he hasn't been eating or sleeping well recently, his little body is getting weaker and weaker, swaying as if he is about to fall down at any time.
Ding Guo calmly took a few steps to the side, fearing that Ding Nianjun might have some evil thoughts and try to frame him.
She was also counting on the birth of Ding Nianjun's child so that she could get another house.
Ding Nianjun's first reaction when she saw Ding Guo was to turn around. She didn't want Ding Guo to see her current self, and didn't want to accept any ridicule from Ding Guo. But it was too late. Ding Guo not only saw her, but his gaze stayed on her for a moment, looking her up and down.
Ding Nianjun calmed down, tried to look straight ahead, and said in a hoarse voice due to morning sickness: "Are you very proud?"
Ding Guo retracted his gaze, made sure the distance between them was safe, and then walked down the stairs lightly. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "I don't understand what you are saying!"
After saying that, he jumped down and unlocked the bicycle.
On the steps, Ding Nianjun stared at Ding Guo's actions. Somehow, he suddenly wanted to save some dignity for his currently not-so-bright image, so he said, "If you were smart, you would stop in time."
Ding Guo raised his eyes and looked over.
Ding Nianjun twisted her fingers unconsciously. Relying on her high position, she felt that she was looking down on others. She acted like the daughter-in-law of a high-ranking official and preached, "You haven't been to the capital, have you? Have you never seen the solemn and strict military compound? You don't understand the meaning of the word 'high-ranking official'. Have you ever seen a division commander in the army? Can you imagine the power he holds? Sister, I don't know why you became so sharp and aggressive after returning from the countryside, but do you really understand who you are facing? It's nothing to bring down Qi Guangming. You were just lucky to meet a person with wounds all over his body, so it's easier to find the problem."
"A temporary victory doesn't mean anything. Although the Pan family has some temporary troubles, the family's strength is there. Don't overestimate your own abilities. Sister, you have been in the countryside for many years and your vision is limited. Listen to my advice. You can't offend the Pan family."
Ding Guo didn't know where she got such great confidence from. He didn't refute her. He just looked at her and smiled, and said, "Take good care of the baby!" This defeated Ding Nianjun. Her face turned red instantly, and she felt ashamed and angry. After Ding Guo rode away on his bike, she turned into the post office and called the capital again.
She didn't want to stay at home anymore. She was really fed up with Ding Zhigang's cold face, the neighbors' overt or covert inquiries, and the strange looks. She made this call to ask about Pan Dingfeng's family affairs. If possible, she wanted to go there early and wait for the wedding in the capital.
The call was connected, and Ding Nianjun's aggrieved and crying voice came through the microphone: "Dingfeng, I don't want to stay in Fengning anymore, I want to go to the capital to find you!"
Pan Dingfeng has been running around for the family these days, and he is so busy that he is exhausted and overwhelmed. He has no mood to comfort the anxious Ding Nianjun.
For the first time, when he answered Ding Nianjun's call, there was more impatience and blame in his tone!
"I don't have time to pick you up, and I'm really busy these two days. Can you wait until I'm done? Can you not make things more complicated? Do you know that my mother is sick and in the hospital, and my eldest brother also has to take care of her..."
If there is another pregnant woman, he really won’t be able to take care of her.
"The situation at home is like this now, all because I helped you vent your anger... Can you understand and sympathize with me at this time?"
Listening to the impatient accusations and complaints from the other end of the phone, Ding Nianjun felt cold all over. Just as he was about to say something else, there was a "beep, beep, beep" sound from the other end. The phone was hung up, and Ding Nianjun's mind went blank.
This was the first time Pan Dingfeng hung up on me.
Time passed day by day as Ding Nianjun waited anxiously and patiently. Soon, there were still two or three days before the scheduled wedding banquet, and she had not waited for Pan Dingfeng yet. However, Ding Guo received the notice that she was going on a business trip and Ding Dayong who had returned from the business trip.
A bandage was hanging on his chest, one arm was in a sling, and there was a calmness in his eyes called "growth".
Ding Guo was surprised and distressed: "What happened?"
Ding Dayong didn't take it seriously: "We encountered road robbers. The team failed to reach an agreement on toll with them and a conflict broke out. It's okay, sister. It doesn't hurt anymore. The bone is not broken, just a slight fracture. By the way, sister, it's all thanks to the few moves you taught me."
Ding Guo said unhappily, "You've only practiced for a few days, and the few moves you learned aren't even mediocre. Are you taking advantage of this to show off?"
Ding Dayong said: "I didn't show off, but I really used those moves."
Although one of his arms was in a sling, Ding Dayong was very excited and kept talking about the journey and what he saw and heard in the three northeastern provinces.
While listening, Ding Guo sorted out the things that Ding Dayong had bought, including dried goods like pine nuts and black fungus, as well as treasures like ginseng, deer antlers, and ganoderma lucidum.
Ding Dayong was not sure whether it was wild ginseng or not. He knew nothing about it. The driver, who had been traveling all over the country for many years, helped him identify it in a very professional manner. In the end, he said it was real, so Ding Dayong bought it.
Ding Guo didn't understand either, so she asked the system. The mouse said it didn't have the function of appraising treasures and couldn't make a judgment. Ding Guo had to give up, wrapped it up in newspaper again and put it aside.
She also had something for Ding Dayong, which was the military boots sent by Pei Che.
Ding Dayong wore them perfectly. He walked around a few times in them, showing his joy without hiding it. He said to Ding Guo, "Sister, these are rare things, real military boots. Thank your friend for me."
Ding Guo smiled and said, "As long as you like it."
"I like them. I like them very much. I'll keep one pair and bring the other one back to my dad."
The trained chef was injured, and Ding Guo had no habit of enslaving the wounded, so Ding Guo, who had been lazy and bought food from the mall, started cooking, stir-fried vegetables, and made porridge with the well water in the space. He also smuggled a few big steamed buns out of the space, and the brother and sister continued to chat while eating.
Just now Ding Dayong finished talking about what he saw and heard on the way, and now Ding Guo talked about a series of things that happened to the Ding family after Ding Dayong went on a business trip, which shocked Ding Dayong.
He had been away from Fengning for only a month. His cousin got married, Ding Nianjun became pregnant and lost her job, and his aunt was also brought to the Revolutionary Committee.
"Sister, then you haven't been bored at all this month."
This series of performances felt even more exciting than the Errenzhuan performances they had seen in Northeast China.
The next morning, Ding Guo went to the factory to ask for leave, and then dragged Ding Dayong to the hospital.
You still have to listen to what the doctor says about whether your arm is fine or not.
She was worried that Ding Dayong was hiding something to save money or not to worry her. Fortunately, the examination results were good. It was just a minor bone fracture and the recovery was good. He just needed to avoid lifting heavy objects and take good care of himself.
"Then take good care of it, and don't try to be tough. It's the same at your workplace. Follow the lead of the drivers, but don't try to do heavy work."
Fortunately, they can rest at home for several days after returning from this long trip, but it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone, and it is impossible to heal it in just a few days of rest.
"I know, sister!" Ding Dayong didn't tell his sister last night, and now he whispered, "I took the beating for the master chef. When I go back, the master chef will definitely take care of me. Not only will he take care of me, but he will also start to teach me the theory of driving."
Ding Guo: “…”
Seeing that his sister had a gloomy face and didn't look very happy, Ding Dayong hurriedly explained: "Sister, I didn't mean to do that. I just happened to see it and I was nearby, so I subconsciously rushed over to pull it. Then I didn't dodge and the stick hit my arm."
Ding Guo was silent for a long time, and then said, "It is true that saving people is a good deed, but relatives are usually more selfish in such matters. Have you ever thought about what would happen if the stick hit your head instead of your arm?"
Ding Dayong: "No, they just want money, they only hurt people, they won't kill them..."
Ding Dayong saw his sister's face getting darker and darker, and her voice getting smaller and smaller, and finally said: "Sister, don't worry, I will pay attention in the future!"
Ding Guo sighed and said earnestly, "Dayong, I brought you from my hometown, so I have to be responsible for you. If anything happens to you, how can I explain it to my uncle and aunt? And how can your parents bear it?"
Ding Dayong: "Sister, I was wrong!"
After glaring at him, the brother and sister rode their bikes back home, dropped Ding Dayong off, and Ding Guo went out again and bought about ten pounds of large bones, a few pounds of pork belly, eggs, and noodles... Actually, they were bought from the system mall. After returning home, they boiled a pot of thick bone soup and poured a spoonful of it on stir-fried dishes or noodles to enhance the flavor and fragrance, as well as provide nutrition.
Unfortunately, she was going to attend an exchange meeting at the food factory and would be away for about a week. She was worried that Ding Dayong would not be willing to eat or drink after she left, so she had to prepare some food for him in advance.
Cut the pork belly into large thick slices and braise it directly. It can be eaten cold or hot and is easy to preserve.
It’s getting cold now. Although it’s not freezing cold, it won’t be a problem for the temperature to stay this low for two or three days.
But two or three days later, this frugal boy still saved money wherever he could, as long as he could fill his stomach, it didn't matter whether it was nutritious or not.
So Ding Guo went to the garment factory again and ate with Xiao Hong in the canteen of the garment factory. Ding Guo gave Xiao Hong money, meat coupons and grain coupons, and asked her to help deliver meat-filled dumplings to her home once every three days, enough for two to three meals, and boil a few eggs.
Xiao Hong agreed immediately and asked, "Where are you going to exchange and study?"
Ding Guo: "The capital!"
"The capital, this exchange meeting is so great!" Xiao Hong was extremely envious. She had never been to the capital.
Ding Guo smiled and said, "I'll bring you some special cakes and snacks when I come back."
“Okay, okay!”
Ding Guo is not coming to see Xiao Hong today, and Xiao Hong is also planning to go to Ding Guo. There has been new progress in Qi Guangming's case, and the punishment result of the Pan family in the capital has also come out.
In the case of Qi Guangming's accidental murder, Su Dayong provided an important person to the Revolutionary Committee, and Xiao Haifeng immediately arranged for someone to investigate. At first, they couldn't find the deceased's brother, but later they accidentally learned that Qi Guangming had brought the man to Fengning and changed his name, and that man was detained by the Revolutionary Committee...
Once we found this breakthrough, the rest went much more smoothly.
The family members of the deceased, who had been refusing to give in, also changed their testimony, and Qi Guangming was sentenced to death.
He also confessed to the incident of falsely claiming military merit, after all, he knew he could no longer hide it.
This is not the end. Regarding the fact that he helped eliminate Pan Yuanzheng's competitors, the two letters were very good evidence and a breakthrough. After handwriting comparison and examination, it was determined that he was wrongly accused. The Pei family also helped to rehabilitate him and return to the city.
But Qi Guangming insisted that the Pan family was completely unaware of the incident and that it was all his doing. No matter how he was interrogated, he insisted on this statement.
Xiao Haifeng knew that Qi Guangming would not give in, and he had to consider his family.
It wasn't for his ex-wife and daughter, but for his illegitimate son.
He has offended many people over the years. Now that he is in trouble, no one can guarantee that those people will not take their anger out on his children.
The ex-wife's situation is okay. Although her brother-in-law also got into trouble, her ex-father-in-law was not implicated and still has some family assets, so he can take care of her a little. But the same cannot be said for her lover and illegitimate child. They are left alone.
He also hopes that the Pan family can help look after him.
Even though he left the letter privately, causing considerable trouble to the Pan family, at this time the only family he could count on and that had the ability to protect him was the Pan family.
Therefore, the Pan family must not fall.
Because Qi Guangming admitted all the crimes, the Pan family did not go bankrupt, but they did not get away with it either. Pan Yuanzheng was demoted, and the family moved out of the detached building. Although they still lived in the military dependents' quarters, they moved to an ordinary building area and were allocated a house of about 70 square meters.
"My uncle said that it is impossible for Pan Yuanzheng to be promoted again. He was able to be promoted in the past because, in addition to the efforts of Mr. Pan, he had indeed made several minor military achievements. But it is difficult to make such military achievements now," said Xiao Hong.
Ding Guo thought that Ding Nianjun was still showing off Pan's father's position two days ago, but he didn't expect that he would be demoted from such a high position. He wondered if Ding Nianjun knew this news.
Ding Nianjun really doesn’t know.
After the family affairs came to an end, Pan Dingfeng hurried to Fengning to pick up Ding Nianjun and other members of the Ding family to go to the capital.
This time, he not only came to the Ding family, but also went to the Revolutionary Committee to visit Qi Guangming, asked Ding Nianjun in detail about his work, and used several connections. In short, he was very busy.
There was no time to mention my father's demotion.
He didn't think it necessary to explain this to the Ding family.
After all, the girl he liked was attracted to him as a person, and when they fell in love at first sight, Ding Nianjun didn't know his family background.
We didn't care about this when we fell in love with each other, and we certainly don't care about it now.
However, the busy days and the changes in the family added a bit of bleakness to the originally lively and festive wedding reception. His face, which had become thinner, showed a little bit of guilt, towards Nianjun, and even more towards his family.
Pan Dingfeng also made a request, which was to not allow Ding Guo to attend their wedding, as he was worried that his parents would be upset.
After all, this series of changes in the family were caused by Ding Guo.
How dare Ding Zhigang?
He had originally thought that the Pan family would blame his family, and he was also shocked to see the unrecognizable Pan Dingfeng so thin that he didn't even dare to ask about the situation of the Pan family, for fear that his son-in-law would give him the cold shoulder.
How big a trouble would it take for the son of a cadre, who is usually gentle and well-behaved, to become so thin?
Pan Dingfeng has become so thin that he looks unrecognizable, which shows how miserable the Pan family is.
In this situation, how could he dare to let Ding Guo appear in Pan's house? He was also worried that Pan's father would not be able to help but shoot Ding Guo.
So, when Yue Hongmei saw Ding Guo at the toilet door on the train, her expression was quite shocked!
Ding Guo was not shocked. She knew the approximate time of Ding Nianjun's wedding. No one came to inform her, and she was too lazy to rush. Besides, she was not free either, as she was busy attending an exchange meeting with other colleagues in the factory.
But Yue Hongmei didn't know. When she accidentally ran into Ding Guo who came to the bathroom, she had a twisted mind and thought that Ding Guo knew about Junjun's marriage and had secretly followed him to see the world.
But she had offended the Pan family, so she might not even be able to enter the military compound that Junjun mentioned!
"You know you're in trouble now, what were you doing before?" Yue Hongmei scolded, "I've offended the Pan family so much, and you still dare to follow me secretly? I'll take advantage of the fact that I haven't seen you at the top of the mountain, and I'll get off at the next stop and buy a ticket back to Fengning!"
Ding Guo: ...
