Dreaming back to the 90s to help my dad catch a rival in love

After visiting about seven or eight large pharmacies, I finally bought all the albumin injections.Ning Jianguo offered to invite her to have another dinner, but the woman refused in a hurry, saying that today is enough to bother him, she brought dry food and fried wheat flour, and just wash it with hot water when she returns to the hotel.

Ning Jianguo had no choice but to send her back to the hotel near the train station.Fortunately, although the hotel is small, it looks quite safe.He made an appointment with her to pick her up early the next morning and send her to the train.

"Is everything done?"

Outside the hotel, the westerly wind howled, Zhao Jingwen stood beside the Toyota car, turned up the collar of his windbreaker, and put his hands in his pockets.

Seeing Ning Jianguo, he hastily greeted him.

"It's done. I said I should at least buy a carton of milk to go with dry food, but she didn't want to, and said she would save the money to buy medicine for her father-in-law."

As Ning Jianguo spoke, he shook his head and sighed.

"Her complexion should be caused by the lack of nutrition for so many years. Back then, she was a famous beauty in all towns and villages..."

"I told Fan Xia that we won't be at home tomorrow morning. He said he would take Xiao Bei, Le Le, and Yang Yang to eat hot pot."

"Jing Wen, thank you so much for today..."

Ning Jianguo put an arm on Zhao Jingwen's leg and patted it, and said dryly, "Otherwise I'm alone, I really don't know how to face her."

Zhao Jingwen squeezed his hand wordlessly, stepped on the accelerator, and joined the rolling traffic.

No matter what time of day, there is a lot of traffic around the train station.Encounters, reunions and partings are always happening here.

In the night, the orange lights emitted by the car's taillights evoke all kinds of joys, sorrows and joys, with a faint smell of gasoline and choking exhaust, driving to every corner of the city.

The radiant neon lights shone on the window glass, and the colored dots and surfaces reflected on Ning Jianguo's motionless face staring out the window.

At this time, it should have snowed in the north.

Ning Jianguo suddenly thought.

He still remembers the first time he saw the goose-feather-sized snowflake, he was stunned and stupid, he didn't even hear the command issued by the company commander, he just looked up stupidly, seeing that it was almost coming from the sky. Fluttering white snowflakes.

It rarely snows in Shanghai. Even if it does, the snow in Jiangnan is soft and moist.It melted almost as soon as it landed, was stepped on by passers-by, was stained with various mud and water stains, and then melted quickly.

He remembered seeing the alley covered with snow only when he opened the window when he was very young.It was already a very deep winter, almost the twelfth lunar month.

The reason why I remember it so clearly is that at that time, every household in Jiandeli had chickens, ducks and sausages hanging in front of the windows, and there were even eels in front of the old lady’s house in Ningbo. The taste of Chinese New Year is the taste of food.

And in this small town in the extreme north, it only snowed in October, so why not surprise people?

The result of all the fuss was that the squad leader ate and hung up with him, and the two of them cleaned the pigsty for a week.

Ning Jianguo was also surprised when he saw the pigsty for the first time. He heard the allegory from the old man since he was a child, which is called "I have seen pigs run without eating pork", but he grew up in the city since he was a child. I have eaten pork.

He has only seen a live pig once - a year before joining the army, he and his mother went to the Triangle Market to buy vegetables, and it happened that the market was holding a city-wide butcher competition.

He was holding a vegetable basket, standing behind Mama, watching two very young women working together, using a hook to hook a big white pig weighing at least two to three hundred catties out of a corridor.Both women were wearing wooden pallets under their feet, and their sleeves and trousers were folded up high, revealing their snow-white arms and calves, full of strength.One of the short-haired women was particularly beautiful, with red lips and white teeth, holding an awl-like object in her hand.

The pig probably also had a premonition that his life was not long, so he started to yell loudly, and his limbs kept moving.But before it struggled for a while, the beautiful woman raised the awl and inserted it through the pig's head and neck, straight to the heart.

Then she kicked the wooden bucket next to her to collect the blood, her fair face was like a spot of paint, and there was a calm smile on the corner of her mouth.

Ning Jianguo was dumbfounded, and heard from his grandfather who had been playing the game for two days that this was called "Guo Ming", and it was a test of his ability to kill with a single blow.This woman is pretty, she's really pretty, it's a bit tricky, it's a bit scary for a man to marry her and go home.

Another cadre-looking man wearing glasses and a blue tunic suit sneered and said, "The leader said 'women can hold up half the sky'. If a man can do a job, a woman can of course do it, and she can do it better. Lennon Even if you haven’t seen the Dazhai iron girl advertised in the newspaper, you have at least heard of the Red Detachment of Women in Hainan Island, right? Three or four of the teams shortlisted for this massacre are the ‘Detachment of Women’. Good trick. Besides, why did her husband want to 'scare Sisi'? His husband is not a pig."

What he said was justified, well-founded, and high-spirited, and the old man had nothing to say, so he could only sneer, and slapped himself lightly on the corner of his mouth.

Ning Jianguo here has just finished listening to their speech, and the two female comrades over there have already completed a series of operations such as killing, blowing up, shaving, and deboning. From the beginning to the end, it took only three to four minutes, neatly, The onlookers applauded and praised them as female butchers in the new era, bringing honor to the working class.

This was the first time Ning Jianguo saw a live pig, and also the first time he saw a butchered pig. He was stunned and could only clap along with the surrounding crowd, almost dropping the vegetable basket he was carrying to the ground.

"That woman, her mother is my classmate in the girls' middle school. The English name is Ivy, Ivy Huang."

At the end of the competition, the pair just won the first prize without any accidents. Ning Jianguo was still full of satisfaction, and walked out of the vegetable market with Mrs. Ning, who was only in her fifties at the time.

"Mommy, I'm going to be called 'Comrade Huang' now."

Ning Jianguo reminded.

"Well, Comrade Huang stole her boyfriend from your mother when she was in school. I didn't expect her daughter to be so progressive now. It is said that Comrade Huang is now the director of the meat joint factory, and his men kill hundreds of pigs every day. , to guarantee the food basket in Shanghai. In contrast, Muma only sells pens at the counter. The sales of pens are not good this month. I was criticized by the leader, and I am ashamed."

Mrs. Ning paused, frowned, and muttered in a low voice, "If Comrade Huang's daughter had come to grab my boyfriend back then, I would never have been able to. If you were a girl, I don't think you would be able to. .”

Mrs. Ning's eldest son: "..."

In short, seeing live pigs in the company's pigsty still gave Ning Jianguo a super shock, especially the pigsty was so smelly!

Standing in the pigsty, he didn't even know where to put his feet, let alone cutting pig vegetables, cooking pig food, and cleaning the pig house.

As the only "young soldier" in the entire company who came from a big city, if it weren't for Squad Leader Wu who taught him, cared about his life, helped him adapt, and taught him various skills, Ning Jianguo might be sent back as a recruit in less than a month Lian, not to mention the third-class meritorious service in the future.

Ning Jianguo was a rare only child in their era. He had no elder brother since he was a child, so he loved and respected Squad Leader Wu as his own elder brother.

In a joint operation to arrest cross-border personnel, Squad Leader Wu was crushed by a falling rolling stone and broke his leg in order to cover himself. He was seriously injured and has been disabled ever since.Originally, he was accepting the assessment of non-commissioned officers, but because of this reason, he had to be discharged from the army and left the unit and sentry he loved the most.

On the day of seeing off the squad leader, Ning Jianguo hugged his shoulder and cried loudly.

He knew that the squad leader's family was in a bad situation.There are not many acres of land in his hometown. After he joined the army, his house was taken by his younger brother to get married, and he had no place to live when he returned home.The squad leader is counting on being able to be promoted to non-commissioned officer and stay in the army.If he leaves the army in the future, he will at least have the status of a cadre, and maybe he will be able to share a house.

Now there is nothing left, and it is all because of him that the squad leader's life's future has been ruined.

So a year later, he had already been promoted to squad leader, and with a group of new recruits, he received an invitation from squad leader Wu and warmly invited some of his old comrades to a wedding banquet. Know how happy it is.

The new bride, Miss Ma, looks like a juicy girl, and she is a good hand at work. People in the village call her "Little Apple", saying that she looks like the girl in the Korean movie "When Picking Apples". The protagonist, Zhenyu, is as sweet and pure, hardworking and generous.

Regardless of her parents' opposition, Miss Ma broke through many obstacles and married Squad Leader Wu, whom she had always admired.After marriage, both of them moved out of their original families and lived in a small broken house in the mountains.

When Ning Jianguo took his comrades to a wedding, Squad Leader Wu was sitting on the roof laying tiles.So the young men simply rolled up their sleeves and helped the groom repair the house together. For a moment, Ning Jianguo seemed to have returned to those happy days when he first joined the company.

Fortunately, the local government has arranged the work of forest rangers for the demobilized soldiers.Their little life was sweet and fulfilling, and a son was born three years later.Because the father was a forest ranger, they named their son "Bao Sen", Wu Baosen.

At that time, Ning Jianguo had already recovered and returned to Shanghai, thousands of miles away, entered the third leather shoe factory and became a molder.

Mother's mother is getting older, and her health is gradually getting worse, and she has to write letters to urge her son to come back almost every now and then.As the only son in the family, Ning Jianguo had to bid farewell to the military camp with tears in his eyes, boarded the train bound for the coast of the East China Sea, and assumed the responsibility of supporting his family.

Since entering the factory, he has made more friends and gradually adapted to life in Shanghai.

The 80s was the hottest era.Together with Zhao Jingwen and other young workers in the factory, he wore the most fashionable bell-bottom pants and Mike's toad mirror in "The Man from the Atlantic", danced disco, and learned to play the guitar.As a result, he failed to learn the guitar, and the nail on his index finger was split in half.

To work, to study, to make models, to listen to music, to watch movies... Gradually, before he realized it, the correspondence with Squad Leader Wu changed from one letter per month to two, three months. Feng, and there will be only one communication in the last half a year.

He left the teacher and became the most proud disciple of the master.He was admitted to be an engineer, he went to night school to study, and even started to learn English in a lump.

Just when he almost forgot everything in the past, he suddenly received a telegram from a small town in the north.

A funeral telegram.

The monitor is dead.

In a forest fire half a year ago, the squad leader fell in the depths of the Greater Khingan Mountains in order to save national property.His body turned into clay and became part of this continuous forest, forever guarding the land he loved.

Miss Ma's parents really forced her to remarry this time, and finally succeeded in getting her to remarry.But that man didn't want to have an extra oil bottle at home.The squad leader's younger brother and sister-in-law are also living a miserable life, and they are unwilling to take in his elder brother's son.Miss Ma had no choice but to turn to him for help.

It was March 1986, the day I received the letter was the day of Waking of Insects.

This seal was like a thunderbolt, splitting Ning Jianguo's liver and gallbladder.

Afterwards, Ning Jianguo took a half-month vacation, boarded the train, and went to a small town in the frontier.When he came back, he brought back a fat and white boy.

Ning Jianguo, a young man, suddenly had an extra son after a long trip.

The news was like a heavy atomic bomb that exploded in Chandli.

The mushroom cloud spread all the way to the third shoe factory. Everyone from the workshop director to the secretary came to talk to him and asked him what happened.Ning Jianguo is the young worker they are planning to focus on training. If he corrupts outside and produces a child, it is a crime of hooliganism and a big stain.

Ning Jianguo knew that the matter was too big, so he had to ask his master who was about to retire for help.

The master knew what he was like, and he had heard what happened to him back then, so he knew that he was repaying his kindness.So the master went out, and he didn't know how to deal with the "special investigation team" that had been organized in the factory, and successfully got the child registered, and the matter was settled.

In the entire Jiandli, except for Mrs. Ning, no one knew that Xiaobei was adopted.It's just that Jianguo has done stupid things outside and made his belly bigger, so he had to raise his son by himself.

It may be someone who eats food, and looks like someone from that family.This kid from the north has been eating rice from the south of the Yangtze River for several years, and his appearance has become more and more handsome, even somewhat similar to Ning Jianguo.

The young man Ning Jianguo suddenly became a father, and he was inevitably in a hurry at first, but after a long time, he gradually got used to it. He already loved this child who continued the squad leader's blood as his own flesh and blood.

Whether it is Jiandeli or the shoe factory, everyone is just an ordinary person living a peaceful life.If there were still people who were holding on to this matter at the beginning, trying to trip him and Mrs. Ning, gradually everyone forgot about it.

After all, Ning Jianguo's craftsmanship and character are all convincing.Xiaobei is also a cute and smart kid. He usually stops everyone he sees in the alley and calls out sweetly. He is exactly the same as Ning Jianguo when he was a child. Everyone loves him.

If you want to say that the only unhappy person is Mrs. Ning.

Her son is a nice young man who has somehow become someone's cheap father.As far as Jianguo's appearance, salary, and their conditions for building this big house in Delhi are listed here, the matchmaker who came to introduce the girl to him almost broke the threshold.She was not in a hurry at first, thinking that her son was not very old, at least let him work in the factory for a few years, and then talk about marriage after he has some achievements.

The final result can be imagined, those matchmakers and the people who asked them to be matchmakers, after hearing about Xiao Bei's incident, all retreated.It's not that none of them stopped coming, there were still some people coming to the door.But the woman is either ugly and outrageous, or she is already divorced and even has children.

Doesn't this make the old lady Ning, who has been competitive all her life, very angry, so she doesn't have a good face towards this cheap grandson, thinking that he is a drag on Ning Jianguo, preventing him from getting married and having children normally.

If you want to know how to repay your kindness, there are many ways to go.Can you send money regularly every year to someone who is willing to adopt him, and even sponsor him to go to college together in the future?

Is it necessary to bring him back to raise him?

Before Ning Xiaobei officially entered elementary school, Mrs. Ning was still urging Ning Jianguo to find an opportunity to send him back to the Northeast.Otherwise, once the student status is confirmed, it will be really troublesome.

However, although Ning Jianguo seemed to have a gentle temper and a good man on weekdays, he was as stubborn as Mrs. Ning in his bones.He identified Xiaobei as his son, and refused to send him away no matter what.If the mother insists again, he will move out of Jiandli with his son and live on his own.

Parents are always helpless with their children.Not wanting her lower body to be helpless, Old Madam Ning had no choice but to turn a blind eye and let him go.

Now that so many years have passed, Xiaobei is getting better and better, and the old lady has accepted him as a grandson and treats him sincerely.

He thought everything was settled, but he didn't expect that woman would come to Shanghai, kill her directly to Jiandeli, and even secretly went to school to visit Xiaobei and give him something.

He knew that she probably wouldn't recognize Xiao Bei, but didn't there be such a saying - mother and child bond.In case Xiaobei really notices something, what is he?What is it that he has worked so hard to raise her in the past few years, so much dedication?

After sending the woman to the train the next day, Zhao Jingwen drove back to the small square downstairs of the Workers' New Village.

It was already past one o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Jingwen turned off the car, and looked upstairs, the rooms on the second and third floors were quiet, Fan Xia and the others must still be eating at the hot pot restaurant.

"Why don't we go to a small restaurant nearby to eat something casually."

Zhao Jingwen took off his seat belt and said to Ning Jianguo who hadn't spoken a word all the way.

Ning Jianguo raised his head in a daze, looked at the familiar scenery outside the window, and belatedly realized that he had already arrived home.

What he didn't know was that he was already in tears.

"You... What are you doing? She promised us, took the money, and bought the medicine. She will never return to Shanghai, let alone recognize her son. What are you doing?"

Seeing the tears on his lover's face, Zhao Jingwen couldn't help but hug him in his arms.

"Someone is watching."

"No one... everyone is eating at this time, who is going here."

"Jingwen, I'm so scared, I'm terribly scared...I'm really afraid that she will take Xiao Bei away."

Ning Jianguo has always been very strong. Even in the hardest days of the recruit company, he couldn't shed a single tear. Even if the third leather shoe factory that he thought was his life's labor insurance and relied on closed down, he never felt so heartbroken.

"Xiaobei...he didn't call me 'Daddy' until the third month in Shanghai. I remember very clearly that day was Children's Day. I bought him a small piece of chestnut cake made by Kai Ling, and I was feeding him. Suddenly, he raised his head and called me 'Daddy'..."

"That's when I decided. I'm not getting married, and I don't want another child. This is my child, my only son."

As Ning Jianguo said, he raised his head and looked in the direction of the third floor.

"He has been in poor health since he was a child. When he first came to Shanghai, he might not have acclimatized to the environment. I had to take him to the emergency department of the Children's Hospital every now and then. Then he got asthma...Jingwen, I feel so guilty, I didn't take good care of him He. After all, I'm not his real father, so I can't be considerate in everything, right? "

"No, you have done a very good job. Xiao Bei was brought up so well by you, he is the best child."

Zhao Jingwen wiped the tears on his lover's cheeks with his fingers, and shook his head, "You see, they are all fathers. My brother-in-law Fan Jian is such a piece of shit. Just that kind of Jiangfu corpse already has two children, and both of them are raising them." Big. You are a thousand times more responsible than him."

Zhao Jingwen did not hesitate to take Fan Jian out to sacrifice the flag, and Ning Jianguo finally laughed.

He wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, and sniffed in embarrassment.

"You said... Will she come again in the future? We gave her so much money... Of course, it was not for her to sell the child. It was for her to live a good life there. She will live a good life in the future. It should be just not Will come to Shanghai again, right?"

Early this morning, Zhao Jingwen went to the bank to withdraw 2 yuan in cash, plus what Ning Jianguo gave yesterday, the total was 5 yuan and gave it to Ma Guixiang.

Although 5 yuan is not a lot, it is enough to establish a reputation in that small town, or open a small shop, enough for a family to live a good life.

Zhao Jingwen patted him on the back and told him not to worry. When the children came back, they would definitely be suspicious when they saw him like this.Besides, the old lady still lives on the second floor, so she must not find out that something is wrong.Now Mrs. Ning loves Xiaobei so much, if she knows that the woman is here, she will be greatly irritated.

Ning Jianguo calmed down a little, got out of the car and had dinner with Zhao Jingwen.

That being said, Zhao Jingwen also believed in the character of that honest woman.

But based on what she heard from her in the past two days, the family she remarried later, her husband is a sick child, and the whole family is not like a fuel-efficient lamp... Otherwise, how could she be tortured into what she is now? Woolen cloth.

But he can't say this to his lover, for fear that he will become frightened again.I can only secretly pray to God to open his eyes and give this pair of deep feelings, not father and son better than father and son, a happy ending, and don't let honest people get hurt again.

"I'll be with Lennon."

Walking beside Ning Jianguo, he lowered his head and whispered into his ear.

"No matter when, I will be with Lennon, forever."

Ning Jianguo raised his head and finally showed his first smile of the day.

The author has something to say:

Quietly ask... Has anyone ever fallen in love with Squad Leader Shi?Cover your face... I used to love him to the death.
