Chapter 230230 (Catching Bugs) Two in One
"Zhang Shengkai is back?" Ding Guo was a little surprised and subconsciously recalled the plot in the book!
Did Zhang Shengkai in the book finish his labor reform at this time?
Ding Guo thought hard but couldn't remember the specific time when Zhang Shengkai ended his labor reform.
All we know is that when Zhang Shengkai and Ding Nianjun met, Ding Nianjun and Pan Dingfeng's business was booming.
She had a happy family, a successful career, her family depended on her, and she was also valued by her parents-in-law. At that time, Ding Nianjun was a very cohesive force in both families.
Seeing his own daughter in such a state, Zhang Shengkai was filled with gratitude towards Yue Hongmei, and repeatedly praised Yue Hongmei for teaching his daughter well.
How should I put it? We were separated not long after the child was born, and when we met again, she had married into a wealthy family and found a good husband, who was also a business upstart. It was hard not to be grateful.
Yue Hongmei in the book also felt a great sense of accomplishment and inner satisfaction when facing Bai Yueguang's gratitude.
Could it be that he also came back at this time in the book, but they met each other a few years later?
Yu Shaofen certainly didn't know what Ding Guo was thinking. She continued to speak helplessly, "It seems that my last report letter didn't work!"
Ding Guo: "What report letter?"
Yu Shaofen: "It was you who woke me up and helped me uncover the true face of that scumbag. Then I wrote a letter of denunciation, reporting his improper conduct in marriage."
I don't know whether the family of the girl deceived by Zhang Shengkai helped suppress the crime, or whether Zhang Shengkai found some other way.
She also went out of her way to avoid that family.
"Did Zhang Shengkai come back alone?"
Improper conduct within marriage is cheating, and if it is cheating, there is a third party. If he gets together with the third party, Zhang Shengkai will not come back alone this time.
Yu Shaofen was stunned for a moment before she said, "I don't know about that. My friend didn't mention it in the letter."
At Dazhangzhuang, Ding Nianjun impatiently sent away Zhang Shengkai who came to deliver wild vegetables, slammed the door, and turned back to the house.
Pan Dingfeng is concentrating on doing his homework.
Last year, when he registered for the college entrance examination, he was reported and the village gave him a place. This year, he used his connections with the commune, Ding Nianjun, to successfully get a place for the college entrance examination. He is determined to give it a try.
Seeing Ding Nianjun coming in, Pan Dingfeng raised his head and said, "You...that person is here again?"
Ding Nianjun nodded, with reluctance in his eyes.
The person she wants to recognize doesn't recognize her, but the person she doesn't want to recognize comes to show her affection every day.
Ding Nianjun felt extremely irritated.
When Yu Shaofen went to Fengning to find her, she was annoyed by Yu Shaofen's appearance in front of her and was worried that she would be dragged down by Yu Shaofen. She tried to find a way to distance herself from her biological mother and even reported her. She hoped that Yu Shaofen would be arrested and transferred to another place to continue her labor reform so that she could have peace.
I didn't expect that Yu Shaofen's family had such a background.
But what made her feel even more dramatic was that the Yu family actually had a grudge against the Pan family.
This joke God played on her was really not funny at all.
Now that her biological father has returned from labor reform, he wants to acknowledge her as his daughter. But let alone the Zhang family's background, if he really acknowledges her, he will have to face a bunch of poor relatives who will come to suck his blood endlessly.
She didn't want to acknowledge him, but Zhang Shengkai came to her with a humble look all day long, giving her a bunch of onions today and a piece of garlic tomorrow, but he was still someone whose features were hard to tell... Maybe it's not that he couldn't tell the features, he should be able to see it more clearly than anyone else.
He doesn't come when there is no one around, but always comes when there are many villagers. As a result, the nosy aunties in the village always come to persuade her.
Things like 'after all, he is your biological father', 'we separated for your own good', 'you have to understand your father's age'.
He really has some means.
If she really has the means, she can bring her biological mother back. If the couple comes together to recognize their relationship, she will consider having a family reunion.
But the one who came was useless. How could admitting her back help her?
It's so annoying.
"Dingfeng, can we take a long vacation and go back to Fengning to concentrate on our studies?" Ding Nianjun sat next to Pan Dingfeng, pleading, "I'm really fed up with that family. Last year, the Zhang family did something bad to stop you from taking the college entrance examination, and this year there's that person too. I'm afraid if this continues, he'll get angry and do something bad to you. You can't bear it for another year!"
Ding Nianjun also tried to sign up this year, but still failed.
She suspected that the street authorities were resentful of her and her mother for causing trouble there last year, and were deliberately blocking her.
It’s so annoying!
Now she is hoping that Pan Dingfeng can be admitted back to the capital, so that she can follow him and start her career.
She has not been idle for more than a year. After returning from the farm, she worked hard for a while and then started her old job again.
Working in the black market is risky, but you can make money really quickly.
Even though she doesn't have a job, her income is much higher than Pan Dingfeng's.
Otherwise, you can't use money to pave the way and rely on connections with the commune.
Seeing the money she took out, Pan Dingfeng no longer strongly opposed her speculation. He just pursed his lips and said nothing, not asking any questions. He looked like he agreed but didn't want to know. It was really awkward.
It’s a pity that I failed to establish connections with Fengning.
Pan Dingfeng was also a little tempted and said, "If I take a long vacation, I won't have any income."
Ding Nianjun chuckled and said, "How can I not afford to support you and the child?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Pan Dingfeng's face suddenly turned red: "How can I need you to support me? The salary I have saved over the years can't support you for a month or two? I'm afraid that I won't be able to get the money back in a month or two, and my mother will be unhappy."
These words made Ding Nianjun want to laugh, but he didn't dare to.
No matter what the situation is, this man is still so concerned about his reputation. He is afraid of being accused of being a gigolo, and he even pushes the blame onto his mother. It's ridiculous.
But apart from being too concerned about reputation and having no ability, he seemed to have no other shortcomings. Ding Nianjun was willing to tolerate him, just because during the short period of separation, this man did not give up on her.
Ding Nianjun gradually discovered that Pan Dingfeng was incompetent after the Pan family fell from power.
There was nothing special about his work in the capital, and his work ability was not outstanding after being transferred to the village.
During the time she has been in the village, she has often heard villagers complain that Pan Dingfeng is only good at talking but can't solve any problems when it comes to practical matters.
She didn't notice it before, but when she asked this man to help her do something, he acted so relaxed and efficient. Later, she realized that the ease at that time was not due to the man's own ability, but the power he borrowed from the Pan family.
Without the support of the Pan family’s connections, Pan Dingfeng really can’t do anything!
"Okay, okay, you don't have to support me. My child and I are counting on you." Ding Nianjun coaxed him with a smile, "If you can get a university place in just one or two months, which one is more cost-effective? After graduating from university, you can also arrange a decent job in the future, and you can also realize your ambitions, right?"
The latter sentence deeply touched Pan Dingfeng's heart. Although his ambition did not even have a clear goal, these words could soothe his self-esteem as a man.
A man should have ambitions, he just hasn't found the right direction yet.
Pan Dingfeng was tempted, but also worried: "I don't know if the village will approve it."
I need to take nearly two months of leave.
Ding Nianjun persuaded him softly: "Go ask first, if it doesn't work, we can give some gifts."
Anyway, she didn't want to come to Dazhang Village anymore and wanted to return to the capital. She always felt that that was her battlefield.
Pan Dingfeng went to ask for leave anxiously, but he didn't expect that the branch secretary and the team leader not only agreed, but also agreed very readily. They also readily gave him a long-term letter of introduction to avoid him having to come back frequently to change jobs.
The process was so smooth that Pan Dingfeng felt it was unreal. He thanked Ding Nianjun repeatedly with gratitude and hurried back to tell him the good news. The two of them packed their luggage immediately and headed straight to the commune to catch a bus.
On the way, Ding Nianjun thought for a moment and told Pan Dingfeng: "Don't tell mom about that guy coming back when you go back."
The revelation of her identity also let her know why she was adopted.
She was worried that Yue Hongmei had other intentions.
The two took a bus back to Fengning. Pan Dingfeng concentrated on reviewing at home every day and brought Ding Jiandang with him.
Ding Jiandang also wanted to try again this year, but Ding Jianshe did not sign up. He had no interest in going to college, so he didn't even try to sign up.
Ding Nianjun appeared in the alley again, sometimes alone, and sometimes with Ding Jianshe who was off work.
I don’t know if it was her illusion, but I always felt that with the resumption of the college entrance examination, certain policies were also being relaxed.
The most obvious manifestation is the increase in the number of such small private markets. Secondly, more farmers have come from the surrounding areas, and the types of goods traded have also increased.
There are still inspections, but they are no longer as frequent as before.
Another thing is that we don’t receive as much goods as before.
The farmers came to the city to sell their products themselves.
Ding Jianshe is still a temporary worker. Although he has earned a few hundred dollars by trading things in the past year, he is reluctant to spend money to get a regular job.
After tasting the sweetness of making quick money, who would still care about the salary of a formal employee?
But today, after the siblings came out, Ding Jianshe looked around cautiously and lowered his voice and asked, "Sister, do you want to go to college this year?"
Ding Nianjun glanced at him and said unhappily, "Are you trying to piss me off on purpose? You know I didn't sign up."
"Hey!" Ding Jianshe looked around furtively again and whispered, "If you're not taking the exam yourself, you don't even need to register."
Ding Nianjun's heart skipped a beat. She quickly glanced around and pulled Ding Jianshe to a spacious spot in the middle of the street. Then she whispered, "You're going to die. You dare to say this by the wall."
Ding Jianshe: "It's okay. There's no one behind the wall. Even if there is someone, they can't hear it."
Ding Nianjun was still alert and asked in a low voice, "How do we do that? Can we get into any university we want? Do you have any connections?"
Ding Jianshe was somewhat proud: "It was Brother Hui who knew that I worked in a steel factory before and asked me for ways to get steel. He said that he had a way to intercept other people's admission letters. As for which university I want to go to, it depends on which universities we can receive admission letters this year. We also have to select people. We can't intercept those with backgrounds because they are easy to be exposed. It's not good for the school to be too good either. We can only find those whose family has no background and whose school is not good enough."
Ding Nianjun was a little disappointed: "You bought someone else's study quota!"
She thought the university had set up a secret operation and that one could pay to get in directly.
"Is this okay? Wouldn't that mean I have to use someone else's name?"
Ding Jianshe scratched his head and said, "Yes, I have to use someone else's name, but I don't know if I can change it later. I'll ask later."
Ding Nianjun's heart was beating fast.
If it really works, it would be a good way to go.
If Pan Dingfeng passes the exam, she will buy one for herself.
If Pan Dingfeng fails the exam, buy two.
"Ask if you can choose a school that is in the capital. I only want a school in the capital. It doesn't matter which school it is, as long as it is in the capital."
In fact, Ding Nianjun herself didn’t know why she was so determined to go to the capital, and even wanted to stay in the capital.
Perhaps it was because before she got married, she was dating a man from a high-ranking official family in the capital, and her classmates and people in the staff compound all complimented her, which made her vanity swell prematurely and she fantasized about her future glorious status in advance.
However, she was slapped in the face by her later circumstances, and now she wants to get back what she lost.
Or maybe she wanted to prove to her parents-in-law, who had looked down on her, that she could become a citizen of the capital even without them.
One day, when her parents-in-law finish their labor reform and return to the city, she will have established a firm foothold in the capital and will be able to make them accept her favor.
Thinking of that scene, Ding Nianjun felt like the blood in his body was burning.
And there is Ding Guo. It doesn't make sense that Ding Guo can stay in a big city like the capital, but she has to continue to be a person from a small place.
In short, due to various complex reasons, Ding Nianjun has an unshakable obsession with the capital.
Ding Jianshe agreed, but then scratched his head in pain.
Brother Hui wanted him to get a batch of scrap steel from the steel plant. He also knew that scrap steel had high profits, but it was difficult to get and involved high risks.
The two old men who guard the steel plant are a relative of the director and the deputy director, respectively. How can these relationships be smoothed out?
If you can't smooth things over with your connections and then report him, you'll be in big trouble.
And the steel plant's security department is armed with live ammunition... Hmm? Security department!
Ding Jianshe suddenly thought of someone and his eyes lit up slightly.
capital!
Ding Guo looked at Ding Nianjun's name that suddenly appeared in the background and was speechless for a long time.
What did I do to her to make her remember me again!
Dante Nianjun did not appear for long. He jumped twice and then disappeared.
Ding Guo was in the space at this moment and brought in a chicken.
The chickens and geese that Mosquito's former boss sent last time have adapted very well to the space ranch.
They were a little wilted in the first one or two days, so Ding Guo chopped up the spinach leaves in the space, mixed them with some cornmeal and millet, stirred it with well water, and fed it to the chickens and geese twice. Then they became energetic.
It started laying eggs within a few days.
Ding Guo also asked the system whether these chickens and geese would grow too fast in the space, and whether they would die of old age after a few days. Tongzi denied the question.
When chicks and ducklings are put in, they will grow very quickly. After reaching adulthood, they will stop growing and start laying eggs continuously.
If the poultry brought in are adult poultry, they will skip the growth stage and remain in their current state. They will be affected by the spatial pasture environment, which will change the poultry's physique and even their egg production will be higher than outside.
At the same time, the meat quality of poultry will also be changed. You can eat it anytime you want, and the meat will be chewy and tender, and will not be overcooked. This way, Ding Guo can rest assured.
Chicken and ducklings are hard to buy, so she can only buy adult poultry.
In the following month, Ding Guo also took advantage of the weekends to stroll around and collected five more live chickens. Among these five, there was a rooster, which was also kept in the space to improve the quality of the meat, so that he could take it out whenever he wanted to eat it.
Also received two live ducks.
The goose never received it again.
Today she collected another hen that looked a little listless. Now there are seven hens, a rooster, two ducks and a goose in her ranch.
Due to space constraints, the egg production of each poultry is 5-7 eggs, which is considered high.
Ding Guo had only fed the poultry once or twice, and not surprisingly, it was the rat's job again.
The rat has now become accustomed to the unscrupulous behavior of its host, and even finds pleasure in it.
It is the first one among its colleagues that the host has discovered such a function. I don’t know when it started, but I suddenly felt a sense of pride in it.
After looking at the new member brought in today for a while, he saw that the new member first shrank cautiously for a while beside the water trough, tentatively stretched out his head to drink a few sips of water, and slowly stretched his wings. Then he strolled to the trough to peck at food. Ding Guo told Haozi to keep an eye on other poultry and not let them bully the new member. He turned back to the room to take a shower, and stuffed the clothes he had changed and the sheets and pillowcases removed from the bed in the dormitory into the washing machine.
After taking a shower and changing into freshly washed clothes, I stayed leisurely in the space for a while, ate some fruit, and then made sure that there was no one outside and slipped out.
I didn't go into the alleys again, but went to Quanjude to pack up a few servings of roast duck. I put one in the space for my own cooking and took the other back to Zizhu Bridge.
Dazhu got tired of reading in the west yard and came over to play with the two little ones.
Ding Guo saw that he was distracted from time to time, and thought that he was tired from studying, so he said: "If you are tired from studying, go out for a ride and relax. Studying also requires a balance between work and rest."
Ding Dazhu shook his head: "No, there is something going on in our school, and everyone is worried about it recently...
"What's the matter that makes you so confused?" Ding Guo asked with a smile, sitting on a mat and playing tug-of-war with the two kids, pulling the rope back and forth like a saw.
Dazhu scratched his head. "Some people who live near the Normal University and registered for this year's college entrance examination came to the school and wanted us to help them review. They said they would give us gifts. Several of my classmates were very tempted, because they could earn extra money and exercise themselves. But they were worried that it would be troublesome if they were reported for giving us gifts. However, the students were a little reluctant to sacrifice their personal time to teach for free."
Their final exams are coming up soon, and they have to work on their homework in their spare time.
Ding Guo said, "What's there to worry about? If you make money as an individual, you'll be easily criticized. So why don't you cooperate with the school to run classes? You can use the empty classrooms or offices in the school to teach for free, but let those who want to attend the classes pay rent, and the rent will be paid to the school. You make money for the school, so how can the school not take care of the students you teach?"
"We can also ask the school to provide learning materials and stationery. Teaching is free, but learning materials cannot be free, right?"
Nine-year compulsory education still charges textbook fees, miscellaneous fees, etc., so it is reasonable for them to charge some material fees!
The school should not be so rigid and really exploit students' free time without paying them any hard work pay.
Even if they are not given money, at least some food coupons, vegetable coupons or something like that, students can still have an income.
Ding Dazhu sat up straighter as he listened, his eyes brightening: "Why didn't I think of this? I even organized a study class in the village last year."
His thinking framework is still narrow.
I really didn't expect to cooperate with the school.
Ding Dazhui couldn't help but stood up, and suddenly remembered that today was the weekend and the teachers in the school were also on vacation.
Ding Guo smiled and said, "Don't worry, this is not that simple. Since you want to cooperate with the school, you have to come up with a charter. Who should the students choose to teach and who should not be chosen? What are the selection criteria? Who should the school find easier to negotiate with and who will support your work? You have to think about it carefully."
Ding Dazhu calmed down his somewhat excited mood and said, "Sister, I will go back and write a plan. You can help me take a look after I finish it!"
Ding Guo smiled and nodded: "Go ahead and write well."
Whether successful or not, it’s experience.
Even if Dazhu and his team fail this year, they can continue next year.
But at that time she would not cooperate with the school. She wanted to try to start one in partnership with Dazhu.
Dazhu wrote his plan very quickly and in a very organized manner.
This kid seems to be really suitable for this kind of work. Ding Guo only gave a rough idea, but he was able to think that the students selected for teaching should not only be from poor families, but also have to have solid knowledge. He even proposed in the plan to organize a trial class selection...
"Not bad, not bad!" Ding Guo added a few points. Ding Dazhu took the notebook to take notes and went back to reorganize it.
Finally, Ding Guo said, "Teaching will inevitably delay your own studies. You need to make this clear to your classmates. It's not easy to make money and win scholarships at the same time."
Don't wait until the time comes to apply for the position, and then not focus on teaching when you are actually teaching, and try to fool people. That will not only affect the reputation of the school, but also the reputation of their formal classes in the future.
Ding Dazhu wrote down everything, and when he returned to school, he joined other class leaders to discuss the matter with the school.
In mid-June, Dayong came to the capital.
I haven't had time to come here since I dropped off that batch of goods last time, so I've finally found time.
Ding Guo took him to reconcile the accounts and told him about Mosquito giving up his profits.
She later went to find Mosquito, but Mosquito was very determined and said that he was grateful to Ding Guo.
Mosquito was very clear-headed, and the part she earned was like free money.
Sister Ding Guo was thinking of her when she had good things to do, so she couldn't be ignorant.
Dayong was stunned after hearing this and said, "That little...that girl is quite capable!"
The goods belonged to her and Dayong, and Ding Guo generously gave half of the extra profit to Dayong.
Dayong refused: “It was given to you.”
Ding Guo: "It's a bit awkward to say that. Haven't you never calculated the labor cost with me?"
Dayong did all the work and they split the profits in half. Dayong never cared about this.
Dayong: "What labor fee? I'm your brother, I'm bringing some goods and you're asking my own sister for labor fee, I'm going to die!"
Ding Guo smiled and said, "Don't say anything polite. Just take it if I tell you to."
"Okay!" Dayong didn't hesitate and took it with a smile.
Ding Guo asked about Ding Tao's situation and also asked about his review.
Ding Tao reviewed the exam last year and said she would not take it this year. However, she has put marriage on the agenda and will get married when her partner takes leave and comes back in the second half of the year.
As soon as the topic of review was mentioned, the smile on Dayong's face, who had just received a large sum of money, instantly disappeared.
"It's OK..." Dayong scratched his head, "I think I should have improved compared to last year."
I did lay the foundation for a while last year, so learning it this year... well, it’s still very difficult, but I feel like I understand it a little better than last year.
"If I were to do last year's test again, I don't think I would have much of a problem."
Ding Guo's mouth twitched.
The wish is good, but it will definitely not come true.
It will only be harder this year.
Ding Guo: "I have an exam at the end of July. Can I ask for leave in advance?"
Ding Dayong: "Yes, I have applied long ago and asked my supervisor to adjust my shifts in advance. I will take a break in July and then come to the capital to concentrate on reviewing."
"It just so happens that Dazhu and his friends have started a cram school, and you can support Dazhu's work then." Ding Guo said with a smile.
We jointly organized a study class with the school, and Dazhu’s application was approved, and it is now in full swing.
"Is it the kind of night school like last year?" Ding Dayong asked.
He didn’t know if it was just his illusion as a poor student, but he actually felt that the teaching level of the night school was not very good.
Of course, this was not his experience at the time. He was not able to understand anything at all due to his level. This was his experience after reviewing the lesson this year.
Ding Guo then talked about the Dazhu School.
In fact, their school also looks for people to help with tutoring, but not many of them are from the history department. Most of them are students from the science department.
"Cooperate with the school and have college students from the Normal University give lectures. Then you can take care of both the cram school and private lessons."
"What private lessons?"
Ding Guo looked at his younger brother with a smile: "Me, Dazhu and Yuling took turns giving you private lessons."
Go to a cram school and meet several different teachers. Maybe one of the teachers’ teaching methods are just right for a poor student like Dayong and can help him to improve.
Ding Guo is a good student, but being a good student does not necessarily mean he is suitable for teaching. At least he is not suitable for Dayong. He felt it last year and can only help him find and fill in the gaps.
This year they all worked together to see if they could get this poor student into college.
