Chapter 10 Introducing the target Ning Weidong thought about it and decided that he couldn't do it alone and he had to find someone to help him. A person's name popped up in my mind. But at this moment, there was a noise outside. Ning Weidong's thoughts were interrupted. Wang Yuzhen put away her bicycle and came in from outside. She was busy changing her coat and went to the kitchen to cook. But she said "Aiya" and came out with a rice pot: "Weidong, are you washing the rice?" Ning Weidong said with a smile: "I have never cooked rice before, I don't know how much water to put in, I'm afraid it will be undercooked." Before traveling through time, we were used to using electric rice cookers, and most people didn’t know how to cook rice over an open flame. Wang Yuzhen smiled and turned back to the kitchen. She was a quick person, and with all the bells and whistles, it took her less than forty minutes from the time she got home to when she had dinner. The meal was sorghum rice, and the dish was shredded pickles and stir-fried bean sprouts, plus a plate of scrambled eggs with green onions.
Ning Lei came back from outside in a hurry before dinner. "Mom, what are we having for dinner tonight?" As soon as he entered the house, he rushed to the kitchen door like a starving ghost. When I saw the scrambled eggs with green onions, I reached out to grab a bite. Wang Yuzhen glared at him and angrily said, "Go wash your hands!" Ning Lei is not afraid of his father but only of his mother, so he rolls up his sleeves and washes his hands. "Wash it thoroughly and apply soap." Wang Yuzhen predicted without turning around that Ning Lei was going to just rinse it with water to fool him. Ning Lei had no choice but to grab the soap next to the water pipe, his expression looked as if washing his hands with soap would cause him great harm. After washing, he wanted to wipe his hands, but Wang Yuzhen said, "If you dare to wipe your hands on your collar, be careful or I will cut you." The hand, which was only two centimeters away from reaching the front of the clothes, stopped abruptly. Ning Lei blinked his eyes, wondering if his mother had eyes on the back of her head. He went out dejectedly to get a towel to wipe his hands. At this time, Ning Weidong was picking fermented tofu from a small ceramic jar with chopsticks. Ning Weiguo went into the house as soon as he got home, as if his unit had some documents to write. Wang Yuzhen came out of the kitchen carrying a plate, said to Ning Weidong, "It's time to eat", and called Ning Weiguo to the inner room. Ning Weiguo responded, his hair messy, probably because the material was difficult to write. The freshly cooked sorghum rice is sticky, the pickled vegetable shreds and bean sprouts are fried with animal oil, and green onion and egg are a common dish at this time. The meal wasn’t particularly delicious, but it was definitely not bad either. Ning Weidong ate two large bowls of rice, but was only seven-tenths full. Compared to the original owner, he eats a lot more. Ning Lei ate the fastest. He didn't even chew the rice once it was in his mouth. He finished it in no time and put down his chopsticks, saying, "Mom, I'm going back to my room to read comic books."
Without waiting for Wang Yuzhen to say anything, he ran away. Ning Weidong also took the opportunity to eat two quick bites and finished the food in the bowl: "Brother, I'm going out for a while, can you lend me your bike?" Ning Weiguo was stunned: "Where are we going in the dark?" As he spoke, he took off the key chain from his waistband. Ning Weidong said with a smile: "I'm going to my classmate's house and will be back soon." Ning Weiguo handed the key over without asking which classmate it was. Wang Yuzhen didn't say anything. She waited until Ning Weidong left before asking, "Hey, what did Mr. Lu want to talk to you about just now?" In order to strengthen public security after liberation, all the slums in the capital were managed by a magistrate, similar to the ancient baojia system, which coordinated with the military control committee and the streets to specifically target the rampant enemy activities at that time. In recent years, relations with America have eased, the external environment has become more relaxed, the propaganda tone has changed, and no one mentions the uncle from the Institute of Management anymore. Uncle Lu was previously the manager of the front yard. Before his retirement, he was a seventh-level forger at the Red Star Steel Plant. At that time, there were a total of two level eight workers in the entire workshop, and Uncle Lu, a level seven worker, was also a well-known figure in the workshop. Although he is retired now, he is still highly respected in the hospital and is happy to help families with big and small matters. Just after entering the yard, Uncle Lu stopped Ning Weiguo, and Wang Yuzhen came back first because she was in a hurry to cook. Ning Weiguo chewed a few mouthfuls of rice, swallowed it and said, "It's not Uncle Lu, it's Aunt Lu..." "Aunt Lu?" Wang Yuzhen asked in surprise, "Why did she come to you?" Ning Weiguo picked up a piece of pickled vegetables with chopsticks: "Isn't this the third brother? Bai Fengyu's sister, didn't you see her this morning~" Wang Yuzhen reacted quickly and understood immediately: "Bai Fengyu went to Aunt Lu to match the third brother with her sister?" Ning Weiguo nodded: "That's what I mean." Wang Yuzhen raised her eyebrows: "You agreed?" Ning Weiguo hurriedly shook his head: "Look at you, how can I agree to such a big thing without discussing it with you~" Wang Yuzhen pursed her lips and rolled her eyes at him: "Silly, you make me sound like a tigress." She said this but felt happy in her heart. But when she thought that the other person was Bai Fengyu's sister, she became serious again and said thoughtfully: "I saw her this morning. She is a pretty girl." Even though he doesn't get along with Bai Fengyu, he should be realistic and not lie with his eyes open. Bai Fengqin is of first-rate height and appearance, and she is still a high school student. If you can get into high school, you must have a good brain. The only thing that is not pleasing is Bai Fengyu's sister. But Wang Yuzhen didn't make any judgments and asked, "What's going on at home?" Ning Weiguo sighed and said, "He is also a miserable child. His father passed away a long time ago, his mother just passed away last year, and he has an older brother..." Wang Yuzhen raised her eyebrows and interrupted, "Is she not on good terms with her brother and sister-in-law?" In fact, it is not difficult to guess that if they have a biological brother and a cousin, as long as they can get by, they will not abandon their biological brother and live under the roof of their cousin.
Wang Yuzhen clicked her tongue and instantly felt that this girl was not sweet anymore. To put it bluntly, Bai Fengqin is an orphan. If she really wants to marry Ning Weidong, there will be no elderly people on either side, and there will be no one to help her if she has children in the future. Another thing is the identity of a high school student. In her opinion, it is not a plus but a minus. The college entrance examination will be held in a few months. If she really gets admitted to university, with her appearance, can she live peacefully with her silly brother-in-law? Wang Yuzhen thought about all this and felt that it was unreliable. But when it comes to Ning Weidong, she is just sister-in-law, not biological mother. Wang Yuzhen expressed her concerns and said at the end, "When Weidong comes back, go talk to him and see what his attitude is. If he is happy, then go ahead." Ning Weiguo was surprised: "You won't stop him?" "If it was Xiaolei, I would never agree to this condition, but Weidong..." Wang Yuzhen sighed: "He is already an adult, and it is time for him to make the decision on some matters." Ning Weiguo understood what she meant and was afraid that if he meddled too much, he might end up making enemies. (End of this chapter)
