Chapter 81 Two in One
The things that Qi Guangming could record using Morse code must be extraordinary.
Ding Guo thought of a possibility and whispered, "Spy?"
If Qi Guangming is a spy, even if the Pan family is not involved, they will still be in trouble.
Xiao Hong was not surprised by Ding Guo's guess. She just shook her head and said, "I don't know if it is true or not. My uncle didn't mention it."
Although Ding Guo felt itchy in his heart, he was also very clear that if this was really the problem, Xiao Haifeng would not reveal it to them later.
Similarly, if the situation is really in this direction, knowing too much is not a good thing. Anyway, there are professionals like Xiao Haifeng. No matter what the clues are, they have their own ways to deal with them.
However, Xiao Haifeng asked his niece to relay the information about Ding Nianjun that he had found for her, and let Ding Guo make the decision herself.
"How do you want to deal with it? If you want to deal with it immediately, the Revolutionary Committee will come to investigate formally."
Ding Guo asked, "What about this guy named Song Boxue?"
If this matter is investigated, this person named Song Boxue will be implicated. After all, it is a matter of mutual consent. What good is there in making one more enemy for yourself?
But on second thought, her question was unnecessary. There must be many people who try their best to buy jobs for their children in private so that they don't have to go to the countryside. But Song Boxue was directly selling the test questions, which had a different meaning.
This matter is different from the one where Ding Dayong was dismissed. That time it caused direct harm to them. Otherwise, what does it have to do with her whether others accept bribes or not? She is not idle and has nothing to do but catch corrupt officials.
"I'm not sure. I'll go back and ask my uncle."
Ding Guo nodded: "Can your uncle handle another case?"
Xiao Hong: "He is very busy now. I haven't seen him so enthusiastic for many years."
Ding Guo laughed and said, "Let me think about it."
She had to first understand the progress of Ding Nianjun and Pan Dingfeng. She didn't know whether they had continued the topic of proposing marriage and how it was decided.
Ding Guo was afraid that if something happened to Ding Nianjun again at this point, the Pan family would use a gun to force Pan Dingfeng to break up with Ding Nianjun.
They can't break up. This is not what Ding Guo wants to see.
After all, from the situation when proposing marriage, it can be seen that the Pan family must be extremely dissatisfied with Ding Nianjun.
It also deviates from the plot of the book again, and deviates quite far.
The book does not specify the exact time of the marriage proposal, but it was definitely not the Mid-Autumn Festival. Also, although the original owner was sent to the capital and successfully married to Pan Dingfeng's eldest brother, the Pan family still looked down on the Ding family. In addition to their family background, they also looked down on the Ding family for selling their daughter. They were simply hypocritical.
But no matter how much he looked down on her, he still arranged for prominent figures to come along when proposing the marriage. Pan's mother also came along, but Pan's father did not come.
Influenced by her experience in the book and the two letters of denunciation, how could the Pan family still give face to the Ding family?
Thinking of this, Ding Guo also sighed at the power of the emotional line between the male and female protagonists. Ding Nianjun was hated to such an extent by the Pan family, but he did not separate the two. Instead, he took a step back and agreed to the marriage.
It can be seen that even if the original owner is not sacrificed, the male and female protagonists still have a chance to be together to the end.
This is getting off topic. To sum up, she boldly guessed that the relationship between the male and female protagonists was passive and precarious. If something bad happened to Ding Nianjun at this time, the Pan family might really have to use extraordinary means to break up the couple.
Therefore, before the two of them get married, it is best not to expose the fact that the heroine has an illegal job.
Think about it from another angle. The male and female protagonists are successfully tied together. If the female protagonist is investigated again, it will be like giving the Pan family a slap in the face, a very loud slap at that. It can be seen how exciting the female protagonist's days in the Pan family will be in the future.
Therefore, not only can it not be exposed for now, but we also have to hope that the relationship between the male and female protagonists progresses smoothly and that they get the marriage certificate as soon as possible.
It would be best if the Ding family could live in harmony during this period and avoid any scandals.
After saying so much, it only took a moment. Ding Guo said, "Let's put this matter aside for now. If I need Uncle Xiao's help, I will visit him. Please help me, Uncle Xiao."
"You're too polite." The two walked into the cafeteria arm in arm, and Xiao Hong said, "My uncle said you're his benefactor, so how can this be considered a favor?"
Her uncle was very determined to handle Qi Guangming's case well. If this was done well, there was a great possibility that her uncle would be promoted.
There was another thing she couldn't tell Ding Guo right now, which was that her uncle wanted to leave the Revolutionary Committee and join a government unit to get a job that could truly serve the people.
But everything is unknown now, so we can only press on and wait until later.
After dark, Ding Guo went back to the steel plant's staff quarters. She didn't go through the main gate, but walked around the compound skillfully, found a good corner, put her bicycle into the space, easily climbed over the wall, hid herself near Ding's house, turned on the small speaker to collect sound, and slipped into the space.
If Ding Nianjun's marriage was settled, the Ding family would definitely discuss this topic. However, I didn't expect to hear any discussion about Ding Nianjun's marriage, but instead heard the news that Ding Jianguo was going to get married.
Well, it's not surprising. Nowadays, some people go on a blind date today and get married tomorrow. But why is Ding Jianguo in such a hurry?
After listening to two more sentences, Ding Guo laughed.
It turned out that Yue Hongmei felt that her family had been too unlucky recently, and wanted to hold a wedding to cheer them up and improve the family's fortune.
It's a good thing we were talking about this at home. If outsiders had heard a word or two of it, we would have been accused of being a feudal superstitious person.
What made Ding Guo speechless was that Yue Hongmei just expressed her idea so openly, and Ding Jianguo actually agreed to it.
The reason for agreeing is nothing else but to improve their luck and let the marriage of Ding Nianjun and Pan Dingfeng go smoothly without any more trouble.
Ding Guo: ...
I knew Yue Hongmei was outrageous, but I didn't expect her to be so outrageous.
I knew Ding Jianguo was stupid, but I didn't expect him to be so stupid.
Using his marriage to improve Ding Nianjun's luck, he actually agreed without even stuttering, truly a puppet brainwashed by Yue Hongmei.
I wonder what Lu Xiaomei would think when she knew the reason for the marriage.
Of course, Ding Guo will not cause trouble this time, she wishes.
She was a little surprised that Ding Zhigang didn't refute it?
Oh, no, she didn’t seem to hear Ding Zhigang’s voice. Is this guy not at home?
"It's just that the housing situation at home is too tight. We probably won't be able to find a suitable house before we get married, but you can go out and look around after get off work and try your luck. If you do find one, rent it and then you two can move in." Yue Hongmei said, "If you can't find one for the time being, you can live at home temporarily. But explain this matter clearly to Xiaomei. This is also our family's attitude."
"Okay, I'll tell Xiaomei tomorrow at noon."
There was a rustling sound coming from the small speaker. Yue Hongmei handed Ding Jianguo some money and coupons: "Take this money and coupons, rent an apartment, and buy Xiaomei some clothes. Don't let Xiaomei know the reason for the marriage, and don't tell your dad either..."
Ding Zhigang was really not at home. He was probably on duty at the factory.
"I know, mom. How about Nianjun? Can you save up the cloth coupons and money for her? She will go to the capital to get the marriage certificate with Dingfeng in a few days. She can't dress too shabby. There is also a wedding at the end of the month..."
Ding Guo happily touched a handful of melon seeds and cracked them. Now he heard the information he wanted.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. Even with all the fuss on the Mid-Autumn Festival, they still talked about marriage. I wonder if the atmosphere was harmonious and festive at that time?
However, if Ding Jianguo wants to get married, he can only get married before Ding Nianjun. It is really urgent.
She was about to leave, but the voice coming from the small speaker suddenly mentioned one of her code names, and Ding Guo paused again.
"I don't know where that troublemaker rented the house from. I'll go ask her tomorrow. If it doesn't work, tell her to vacate the house for you two to live in after your wedding, and then she'll move back."
Ding Jianguo: "Dayong should live with her, right?"
Yue Hongmei sneered: "Why do you care about him? He already has a job, so let him apply for a dormitory."
Ding Jianguo was silent for a while, he knew his mother was speaking in anger.
It’s not easy to apply for a dormitory. Ding Jianguo is still a formal employee, but he hasn’t been able to apply for a dormitory after working for so many years.
Ding Jianguo changed the subject: "Mom, do you know which unit he went to?"
Yue Hongmei: "I don't know, go wherever you want. Anyway, our family is unlucky and has a traitor. That troublemaker can take care of your third uncle's cousin but not her own brother. Mom will go find her tomorrow."
Ding Jianguo was silent for a moment, then said, "First ask if the house that Big Sister rented is big enough. If it is spacious enough and Big Sister really doesn't want to move back, then give us a room. If Dayong has no place to live...if not, let Dayong move in and live in the same room with Jianshe and the others."
Yue Hongmei was of course not happy about it and said unhappily, "Don't worry about it."
Ding Guo laughed angrily. One dared to ask, and the other dared to respond.
"Mouse, when will you be able to develop that cursed item?"
We agreed that we would give her one after the research is completed, but if it cannot be used in the node she wants, the sense of satisfaction will be greatly reduced.
System: "I don't know, host."
After listening for a while, there was really no useful information, so Ding Guo returned the same way, went home, entered the space, took a shower, washed clothes, and came out to sleep.
The current temperature is just right for sleeping with a thin quilt, but I felt cold at night because it was raining outside. Ding Guo bought a blanket from the mall and covered himself with it, and then he felt a little warmer.
When he got up in the morning, the rain had stopped, but the temperature had dropped sharply. Ding Guo consciously put on his long-sleeved shirt and long pants, and wore a plaid long-sleeved shirt over his long-sleeved shirt, and a jacket over the top, making sure he didn't get cold.
In the morning, she was eating a stale egg cake in a workshop when someone called her and said someone was looking for her outside.
Ding Guo thanked him with a smile, slowly finished eating the unformed egg cake in his hand, and dawdled for nearly twenty minutes before slowly walking towards the door.
Outside, Yue Hongmei's nose was running because of the cold. When she saw Ding Guo coming out, she opened her mouth to scold him. Before she could say anything, Ding Guo took the initiative and said, "Why are you here at this time? The workshop is busy. If you have something to say, please tell me."
Yue Hongmei: ...
She held back and said, "Take me to see the house you rented. Jianguo is getting married, and you know the situation at home. There is no place for the young couple to live. Let Jianguo live in the house you rented for a while, and then you can move back when they find a house and move out."
That being said, why would you move out once you've moved in?
Ding Guo pretended to be surprised: "Does this marriage have to happen? Why rush to get married when you don't even have a place to live?"
Yue Hongmei choked and said, "Don't worry about this. Where do you live?"
"I gave up that house a long time ago and now live in the factory dormitory."
If she hadn't particularly wanted peace and prosperity for the Ding family recently, she really wouldn't have bothered to deal with it so gently.
Alas, she learned how to wish for the Ding family when she was hoping that bad luck would come to them. How tiring it was for her.
Yue Hongmei naturally didn't believe it, and asked suspiciously, "Where does Ding Dayong live?"
It’s impossible for Ding Dayong to apply for a dormitory as soon as he enters the company, right?
Ding Guo smiled and said, "You can ask Ding Dayong, but he probably won't tell you. It's too dangerous to tell you."
"I don't believe you live in the dormitory. Take me to see it."
Ding Guo sneered: "Comrade Yue Hongmei, I haven't been home for two days. Do you think I'm weak and easy to bully? You can look at my dormitory if you want. You really think you are a piece of cake."
When Yue Hongmei came, she had already made up her mind that Ding Guo must give up the house, otherwise she would find the leaders of the food factory.
Now that Ding Guo has a job, he has constraints. She is not afraid of wearing shoes even if she is barefoot, so she doesn't believe that Ding Guo is not afraid.
She sneered and said, "Okay, then let's go talk to your leader. You are disobedient and unfilial..."
Ding Guo quickly made a gesture of invitation: "Come on, come on, I'll take you to find my direct supervisor, hurry up, I have to go back to work after I find him."
Ding Guo was so decisive that Yue Hongmei was unsure.
"Come on, I'll take you in." Ding Guo said with a smile, "It's a good opportunity to tell our factory leaders about our family affairs, so that you and Ding Zhigang can become famous in our food factory, and we can also tell everyone about your second son being fired for stealing things from the factory as a joke. Oh, and if I'm unhappy, Ding Jianguo's marriage won't be happy, and Ding Nianjun's marriage won't be happy either."
Yue Hongmei thought that she was not afraid of people wearing shoes now that she was barefoot, but she forgot that she still had many pairs of shoes, and she cared about each one of them.
Yue Hongmei's eyes turned red with anger: "You, you really have no conscience, Jianguo is your own brother."
"Yes, you guys have eaten my conscience! Besides, I would rather not have this brother."
Yue Hongmei: ...
When she got off work in the afternoon, Ding Guo found someone following her.
She couldn't help wanting to laugh.
I parked the car on the side of the road, turned around and looked back. After waiting for a moment, Ding Jianguo sneaked out from behind a tree and said embarrassedly, "Big sister!"
Ding Guo hooked his finger at him: "Come here!"
Ding Jianguo didn't dare to go over there at all. Not only that, he quickly turned the car around and fled in panic.
Ding Guo rolled his eyes. Being timid has its advantages. He got beaten less often.
When Ding Jianguo returned home, Yue Hongmei came up to him and asked, "Didn't you follow that troublemaker?"
When she left the food factory in the morning, she went to the dormitory area of the food factory to inquire around. She found out that Ding Guo did not live in the dormitory and there were no vacant dormitories available for application. She knew that Ding Guo had lied to her. Then she went to Ding Jianguo's unit and asked him to go to the entrance of the food factory early in the afternoon and watch for Ding Guo to see where she lived.
Ding Jianguo wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "She found me. I was afraid she would beat me if I followed her, so I came back."
Yue Hongmei was furious, somewhat speechless about her eldest son's dullness: "Why don't you go up and tell her that you are getting married? If you have something serious to ask her, will she still do anything?"
Ding Jianguo was panicked at the time and never thought of this. He turned around and left. It was too late to regret now.
Ding Zhigang came back from get off work tonight. Hearing the mother and daughter chatting, he asked in surprise, "Why are you following Ding Guo?"
Yue Hongmei said angrily, "What else can we do? Jianguo wants to get married, but how are we going to live in this house? You can't get married and live with your wife in the same house with Jianshe and the Party, right?"
Ding Zhigang actually didn't agree with his son getting married in such a hurry, but his son insisted on getting married and his wife also supported it, so he could only give Dingxiang's room to us and said, "Let Dingxiang live in the same room with us first. Nianjun won't come back to live here anyway, so let Jianguo use that room for his wedding."
Yue Hongmei thought about it and realized that this was the only option.
But she didn't give up and was still thinking about the house that Ding Guo rented.
She refused to give up. When Dingxiang came back from doing homework at her classmate's house, she was heartbroken.
Although Ding Xiang is not very old, she has a strong sense of belonging to her bedroom, especially since Ding Guo moved out and Sister Nian Jun rarely came back to live with her. She is so comfortable living in a room of her own, and her classmates all envy her. Now she is asked to move in with her parents for her elder brother's marriage, and she feels like the sky is falling. She refuses to agree, crying and making a fuss, the kind that cannot be comforted.
Finally, Yue Hongmei couldn't stand it anymore and her patience reached its limit. She slapped the guy and the world became quiet.
But the peace only lasted for a few seconds, and then Dingxiang exploded, crying and shouting, and the roof of the house was almost blown off.
Finally, amid sobs, she revealed Yue Hongmei's real intention of letting her eldest son get married. Ding Zhigang was shocked, Yue Hongmei was panicked, and soon, a new round of chaos broke out in the Ding family.
There are only zero times and countless times of domestic violence. When Ding Zhigang slapped Yue Hongmei in the face for the first time, he only felt guilt, regret and heartache. Now when he does it again, he only feels irrational anger.
Although he didn't believe in those monsters, the idea of Yue Hongmei letting her own son get married to bring good luck to Ding Nianjun's marriage deeply hurt his heart.
Is the man's child so important? So important that he sent his own daughter back to the countryside, and now the father and daughter are like enemies; so important that he treated his own son's marriage as... He couldn't describe it. In short, he couldn't accept that his eldest son got married just to bring good luck to the family and change Ding Nianjun's luck for marriage at the end of the month.
Ding Jianguo and Ding Jianshe rushed forward to hold their father. Yue Hongmei covered her swollen face and sat on the sofa crying, "Beat me, beat me to death."
She didn't expect that Xiangxiang would hear what she said that night and even yell at her.
Seeing Ding Zhigang's bloodshot eyes, Yue Hongmei's heart trembled, but she couldn't care less now. The family had been plagued by bad luck recently, and the two poor children, Junjun and Dingfeng, were just one step away from death. She was really afraid that something would go wrong again.
Ding Zhigang's eyes turned red as he stared at Yue Hongmei, then he growled and slapped himself in the face.
"Dad——" Several children were scared and panicked, and hurried to stop him.
Turning to look at his eldest son next to him, Ding Zhigang slapped Ding Jianguo hard again: "You are confused, you are confused, you let your mother do whatever she wants!"
He squatted down, covering his face, and sobbed.
It's his fault, it's his fault. If he hadn't indulged Yue Hongmei, she wouldn't have allowed Yue Hongmei to instill in the children in the family the idea that they should respect Ding Nianjun, and the children in the family wouldn't have become Ding Nianjun's lackeys.
He recalled his eldest daughter's words.
If one day there is a need to sacrifice others for Ding Nianjun, they will sell their other sons and daughters without hesitation.
At that time, I thought that the eldest daughter was mocking them because she was angry, but now think about it... Although Yue Hongmei's current behavior is empty feudal superstition, it is no different from selling her son!
Although he doesn't believe in those monsters, he just feels uncomfortable and he feels depressed!
Is it too late to correct these children’s thinking now?
Ding Guo didn't know that the peace and happiness of the Ding family that she wanted to maintain had been destroyed by Little Laoliu.
At this time, looking at the skyrocketing data in the background and the crazy scrolling panel, I wondered and muttered: "Isn't it just that they don't let them have a house? Why did they make this family so upset?"
The next day at noon, she saw Ding Zhigang, who looked depressed, at the factory gate.
I haven't seen the little green-headed turtle for a few days since the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it seems like it has aged ten years.
Ding Guo crossed his arms, looking impatient.
In order to successfully lock the two newlyweds together, she was very patient yesterday. Her patience was running out, and she said coldly, "If you have something to say, just say it. If you dare to take my house, don't say anything. If you use my job to threaten me, haha, I only have one job, but your family has four. Let's see who loses if we make a fuss."
Ding Zhigang looked at his eldest daughter, whose face was full of hatred, and felt miserable.
He thought about it all night last night and found that only the eldest daughter was the most sober in the family. The other children were all taught astray by Yue Hongmei. Now it seems that the only way is to ask the eldest daughter to go back and take charge of the younger brothers and sisters and turn their minds back.
"Ding Guo, Dad knows that I'm sorry for you..."
"Stop it, a belated apology is cheaper than grass, if you have something to say, just get to the point."
The little green-headed turtle was even going to play the emotional card for his son's wedding house? She wouldn't accept it!
But Ding Guo was really wrong this time. When Ding Zhigang stammered and told him the purpose of his visit, Ding Guo felt that he must have been hallucinating.
"Do you have a fever or do I have a fever? Why should I take over your mess?"
Ding Zhigang looked at his eldest daughter's hateful expression painfully, and felt a piercing pain in his heart: "Ding Guo, they are all your brothers and sisters, but they have been confused by your mother over the years."
Ding Guo sneered, "What have you been doing all these years? Were you busy eating shit? The child is yours and Yue Hongmei's, not Yue Hongmei's alone, nor yours alone. Why didn't you teach the child when Yue Hongmei taught him? Where were you at that time? Children can't distinguish right from wrong, and neither do you? I thought you didn't fulfill your fatherly responsibilities to me all these years, but I didn't expect you didn't do the same to other children. You're a real failure as a father."
"Since you have failed, you should make up for it and discipline them again. Don't think that you had Yue Hongmei to take care of your children before, and you think she is not doing the right thing and throws them to me. It's easy for you to be a hands-off manager."
Ding Zhigang originally thought that he had a sure win this time. He felt that he had found the problem. Ding Guo was the one who had the most dissatisfaction with Yue Hongmei and Ding Nianjun, so he should be happy to take on this task and change the minds of Jianguo and the others.
In his opinion, Ding Guo should still hope that Jianguo and the others would be close to her, after all, they are siblings with the same blood.
But every word his eldest daughter said made him feel ashamed. He opened his mouth for a long time without any reaction, and his head was buzzing.
Ding Guo finished his mouth happily and ignored the cold green-headed turtle, turning around and going back to the factory.
Oh, I never expected that little Lao Liu would become so powerful.
It seems that the Ding family is really destined to be disunited, as they are incompatible with the word "unity".
