Chapter 244 Ning Weidong's Report Although he felt sad, Zhao's father did not doubt Ning Weidong's statement. Generally speaking, when people reach his age, their understanding of things will gradually solidify. Once it exceeds his cognitive scope, he will have strong resistance, which is what we call old stubbornness. But to be able to reach the level of Zhao's father, he must have his strengths and be constantly learning on his own. Therefore, even if what Ning Weidong said conflicted with his understanding, he did not deny it arbitrarily. But think more deeply. After Ning Weidong finished speaking, Father Zhao was silent for a long time, then he sighed and shook his head, "I can't believe it~" Ning Weidong understood his feelings. Their generation has always had very complicated and deep feelings for Sulian. Even though the two sides broke up later and things were not very pleasant, no one could deny that Big Brother once helped us. And now, after hearing from Ning Weidong that the situation with Sulian was like this, Zhao's father felt mixed emotions. Father Zhao sighed, "I didn't expect it to be just a few years later~~~ The Lord X said back then that we should prevent and oppose revisionism and not cross the line. Once we cross the line, it will be difficult to turn back, and the people will have to suffer twice and be punished twice." Ning Weidong was silent. In fact, before he traveled through time, facts had already proved who was right and who was wrong.
Ning Weidong coughed lightly and continued, "Based on what I saw and heard during this visit, the internal problems of Speedlink are becoming more acute. However, due to the high oil prices in recent years, Speedlink has maintained high economic growth through energy exports, thus covering up some of the contradictions." Father Zhao adjusted his mind a little, picked up the chopsticks again, and ate while listening. Ning Weidong continued, "But oil prices can't keep rising. America, as a rival, won't just sit there and watch Speedlink enjoy its good life. They will definitely take action." Father Zhao frowned and said, "Are you saying that America might suppress oil prices to curb the development of Speedlink?" Ning Weidong said confidently: "This is inevitable. The weakness of Speed Union is too obvious. Their methods do not need to be complicated. They just need to find a major oil-producing country in the Middle East to cooperate with. I estimate that the most likely one is the Kingdom of Shat." "Why?" Zhao's father asked. Ning Weidong said: "There are three reasons. The first is that it is large. The area of Shat is large, and the potential for oil production is also great. American oil companies can plan several years in advance, invest first, increase production, and then wait for the right time to suddenly announce a substantial increase in production and deliver a fatal blow." "Secondly," Ning Weidong said, "the production cost of Shate's oil is low, so there is enough room for price reduction. This is the most important thing." Father Zhao nodded in agreement. Ning Weidong continued: "Third, the rule of the Shat family is not stable, and it needs external forces to ensure its rule. It is a perfect match with America. The next step is to wait for the opportunity~~~" Father Zhao's expression turned serious, and he said in a deep voice, "If it is true as you said, with the current financial structure of Speedlink, and if they are still deploying troops in Afhan, if the oil price suddenly fluctuates drastically, Speedlink will be in trouble." Ning Weidong said: "Not only that, this time I found that the Speed Alliance troops might have problems." Father Zhao raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?" Ning Weidong's words just now made him think more highly of this future son-in-law. Originally, he did not have high expectations for Ning Weidong's trip to Sulian. Even though Ning Weidong had set his sights on Sulian earlier and had demonstrated a certain strategic vision and determination, he did not think that he would gain anything by just going there for a quick visit. Unexpectedly, Ning Weidong's return gave him a big surprise. Ning Weidong took out the report on "Sulian's military deployment in the Far East and Baikal region". "Look, this is the report I wrote. In it, I discuss in detail the deployment of the SSU in the Far East and Baikal region, as well as the analysis of the combat effectiveness of the troops." Father Zhao took the file bag, looked at Ning Weidong in surprise, and then began to read it carefully.
Ning Weidong and Zhao Ruyu were waiting on the side, neither saying anything. Father Zhao sometimes frowned and sometimes relaxed his brows while reading. It took him seven or eight minutes to roughly read Ning Weidong's report. Then he put it down, looked at me with a serious expression and said, "Weidong, your report is very well written, but is your judgment about Sulian in the Far East and Baikal too hasty and optimistic?" Ning Weidong straightened his back and said, "Regarding this, I don't think my judgment is exaggerated. On the contrary, I tried to tilt their situation in a positive direction and finally came to this conclusion." Father Zhao took a deep breath and said, "Are you saying that the real situation might be even worse than what you wrote here?" Ning Weidong said: "It's not collapsed yet, but the combat effectiveness of the S army is definitely not as strong as we expected. I think my point of view on this point will soon be proven on the battlefield of Afhan." Father Zhao nodded. Ning Weidong was right. Whether it was a mule or a horse, just pull it out for a walk. Afhan is the best touchstone for the combat effectiveness of the S army. There is no need to worry too much about this. Just wait and see. Ning Weidong continued, "The deployment in the Far East mentioned in the article is also the secret mission I went to the Speed Alliance this time. My basic point of view is that we have exaggerated the strength of the Speed Alliance in the Far East and Baikal region in the past. The so-called millions of troops are absolutely non-existent." Father Zhao smiled but didn't correct or argue. Ning Weidong: "Of course, this may have been a necessary propaganda caliber at the time, but even so, I think we greatly overestimated the forces deployed by Moscow in the Far East." Ning Weidong looked at the report in Zhao's father's hand and said, "According to my analysis in the report, I obtained the annual production data of the Khabarovsk Soda Factory through Seryosha..." Zhao's father already knew that Ning Weidong planned to use domestic soda factories to produce Coke and supply it to the Soviet Union. But he didn't expect that Ning Weidong would use the production data of the soda factory to analyze the deployment of Su Lian's troops in the Far East. Ning Weidong continued, "In the summer, the S Army's logistical supplies include soda. Because the shelf life of Sulian soda is generally short, it is usually distributed locally. Regarding this, I have obtained confirmation from the production data of the soda factory over the years, which even includes the numbers of the supply troops..." Hearing this, Zhao's father finally couldn't help but be moved. He never expected that Ning Weidong would find a breakthrough at this angle. Ning Weidong said: "According to my understanding, only Khabarovsk and Vladivostok have large-scale soft drink factories in the Far East, and only Irkutsk has a soft drink factory in the neighboring Baikal region. These three soft drink factories will provide soft drinks for the S army in the entire Far East and Baikal region in summer. Because there is no data from the other two places, I will only analyze the data from the Khabarovsk soft drink factory..." Ning Weidong laid out the information in the report. "In general, based on the unit numbers that appeared in the soda factory's production and supply information, and based on the terrain and strategic importance, a comprehensive analysis revealed that the total number of troops deployed in the Far East and Baikal regions is about 30 to 40 divisions. If we take a lenient approach and increase it by 15%, it will be 35 to 45 divisions." Father Zhao frowned and asked, "So little?" Ning Weidong said: "Not only that, according to the combat readiness level of the S army, the first category is fully equipped, with a full staffing rate of more than 75%; the second category is fully equipped, with a full staffing rate of more than 50%; the third category is fully equipped with key officers, some old equipment, and a full staffing rate of more than 25%." At this point, Ning Weidong paused before continuing, "Because the focus of the Speed Alliance is in Europe, the 27 divisions in the Far East and Baikal cannot be of Class I combat readiness. At least half of them, or even more, are in Class II or Class III combat readiness equipment. If Class I combat readiness accounts for half, Class II and Class III each account for a quarter, then my final conclusion is that the total number of troops deployed by the Speed Alliance in the Far East and Baikal is about 35 to ." This number made Zhao's father frown even more. It’s not that it’s more, but the conclusion Ning Weidong came to is much less than the generally expected number before. Although Zhao's father also said just now that deploying a million soldiers is more of a publicity gimmick, in certain circumstances a strong external enemy is needed to unite the internal forces. But even so, it was generally believed in the country before that the Soviet Union had at least 700,000 troops in the Far East and Baikal region, if not one million. In addition to the S Army's advantages in equipment, firepower, air force, and missiles, as well as our disadvantages in terrain and strategy, the country has always placed its most powerful troops in the north, with a total of up to 160 divisions. Even when fighting with the Kingdom of Yue in Southeast Asia, these 160 divisions were not moved, just in case.
But now, Ning Weidong said that the total number of people on the opposite side is only about 300,000. However, Zhao's father did not question Ning Weidong's conclusion, because Ning Weidong's report had arguments, evidence, and reasoning, and it was logically coherent without obvious loopholes. Even if the final result had to be overturned, more powerful evidence would have to be provided, rather than simply denying it based on inherent impressions and feeling that it was unreliable. Father Zhao asked, "Are you going to submit this report?" Ning Weidong nodded: "Since the higher-ups have given me the task, there must be a result. I brought it here today just to show you. If there is no problem, I will hand it over." Father Zhao held the report and said, "Just leave it here today. I'll take a good look at it tonight." …… After dinner, Ning Weidong stayed until around seven o'clock and came out of Zhao's house. Zhao Ruyu was unable to come out, so Ning Weidong drove alone, but instead of going home directly, he went to find Ning Weiguo first. At night, there were not many people on the road, and it took more than ten minutes to drive to Ningwei National Park. Ning Weidong put all the gifts he brought in the car in advance. He had planned to leave Zhao's house in the evening and go to see Ning Weiguo and Wang Yuzhen. "Knock, knock, knock~" Ning Weidong handed the things to one hand and knocked on the door while shouting: "Brother, sister-in-law, open the door for me quickly." Before he finished speaking, he heard footsteps inside the door. Then the door opened, and Wang Yuzhen pulled Ning Weidong into the room: "Weidong, you little brat, you're finally back..." At the end, I couldn't help wiping away tears. Ning Weidong also felt a little sad. This sister-in-law really cared about her from the bottom of her heart. She had raised her since she was a child and almost treated her like her own son. "Sister-in-law, look, I'm back now, why are you still crying~" Ning Weidong quickly took out a gift from his pocket: "This is the Sulian cosmetics I brought for you." Wang Yuzhen tried to stop crying: "Look, you, what are you buying?" Ning Weidong chuckled: "This is my first time going abroad, so I must bring some souvenirs. I can't come back empty-handed~" Then he took out a pen: "Brother, this is yours." At this time, Ning Lei poked his head out of the hut, and then rushed out like a dog, "Uncle, what good things did you bring me?" Ning Weidong smiled and said, "How could I forget you?" He took out a very delicate model of the Sulian T72 tank from his pocket: "Sulian's latest tank model is called T-72~" Ning Lei's eyes lit up: "Fuck, fuck, fuck~" He didn't know what to say. He took the model box from Ning Weidong as if he was holding a heavy object in his hands. Ning Weiguo said disapprovingly: "Weidong, you just spend money recklessly." Ning Weidong waved his hand and said, "It's not worth much." He then took out two large boxes of high-end chocolate candies from Sulian: "Try this, the one with hazelnuts, it's delicious." Ning Lei, this naughty kid, immediately came to his senses when he heard there was food. He put down the tank model and said, "Let me have a taste." Ning Weidong took out a large item from another pocket: "Sister-in-law, this is also for you." It was a very fashionable light blue long woolen coat. Wang Yuzhen took it in her hand, touched it gently, and liked it very much. Although she had a tweed coat, it was either gray or black, not such a striking and bright color.
Try it on right away, it's the right size. But even though she liked it, Wang Yuzhen still looked embarrassed: "Weidong, isn't this color too young~" Before she could finish, Ning Weidong interrupted and said, "Sister-in-law, you are just old enough to wear this. You can't take it back, so just wear it with peace of mind~" Wang Yuzhen looked at Ning Weiguo: "Can I wear it?" Ning Weiguo also smiled and nodded: "It can be worn!" Wang Yuzhen let out a long sigh and then thanked Ning Weidong. After all the gifts were taken out, Ning Weidong had time to sit down and briefly tell Ning Weiguo and his wife about the trip to Sulian. Ning Weiguo and Wang Yuzhen were stunned by what they heard. They knew that going to Sulian might be dangerous, but they didn't expect there would be so many twists and turns. Fortunately, Ning Weidong came back safe and sound. Wang Yuzhen sighed and worried, while Ning Weiguo was more concerned about Ning Weidong's earnings from this trip and asked, "Weidong, tell me about the report you wrote." Ning Weidong smiled and said, "No need to bother." Then he took out a notebook and said, "This is my draft." Ning Weiguo immediately picked it up and flipped through it, sometimes frowning, sometimes surprised, sometimes deep in thought... It took me more than ten minutes to finish reading this draft. After putting it down, he couldn't help but sighed, patted Ning Weidong's shoulder vigorously, and said with relief: "Weidong, you...you really exceeded my expectations, good, great~" Despite trying his best to control his emotions, Ning Weiguo couldn't help but choke up at the end. In nearly a year, he witnessed his younger brother's transformation from a muddle-headed and hopeless person to the young talent he is today, which even surprised him. Not to mention anything else, Ning Weiguo could foresee how great an impact this report alone would have. It is no exaggeration to describe the conclusions in the report as shocking. Ning Weidong's views broke many people's inherent impressions of Speedlink. If they are adopted by the above parties, they do not have to be adopted in full, but only in part, which may change the attitude and decision towards Speedlink. Ning Weiguo thought to himself that he couldn't write such a thing. ~~~ Ning Weidong stayed with Ning Weiguo for almost an hour before leaving. Ning Weiguo and Wang Yuzhen sent him downstairs and watched him drive away. They sighed: "Weiguo, I can't believe it~" Ning Weiguo sighed, "Yeah~ I never expected it. At this time last year, I was still worried about how to find a wife for Weidong in the future. Now... my luck has come and it's unstoppable." Wang Yuzhen said, "Of course. Who would have thought that in just a few months, we would be driving a foreign sedan." Speaking of cars, Ning Weiguo was also envious, but his status meant that he would not dare to drive a car even if he had one. You can only wait patiently until you can reach the level where you can afford a car. Wang Yuzhen was just saying it casually. When she was a child, her father had a car. When she was a little older, after 1949, the jeep was replaced by a sedan. So for Wang Yuzhen, a car was not a big deal. What concerned her more was Ning Weidong's report. She whispered, "Weiguo, what do you think about Sulian..."
Just as he was about to say half a sentence, Ning Weiguo interrupted him: "Go home and talk about it." Wang Yuzhen nodded hurriedly, and the two of them hurried upstairs, closing the door before continuing: "Could Weidong's analysis be true? Speedlink has more than 200,000 people in the Far East, less than 300,000?" Ning Weiguo pursed his lips and said seriously, "It's hard to say, but from what I can see in Weidong's report, there is nothing wrong with it. The logic and arguments are very clear. There may be some discrepancies in the final conclusion, but it is definitely of certain reference value." Wang Yuzhen said, "You said that when they mentioned the quick alliance, they would deploy a million soldiers. If there are really only 200,000 or 300,000 people..." Ning Weiguo shook his head and said, "Even if that's true, we can't be careless. That's the S Army! They are very well-equipped. The number of their tanks and armored vehicles far exceeds ours. In the past few years, they were equipped with the most advanced T-72 tanks, which is the model that Weidong bought for Xiaolei. Did you know that the caliber of the T-72 tank gun is as high as 125 mm, the highest in the world today? Our Type 69 tank has a main gun of only 100 mm..." Wang Yuzhen doesn't know much about tanks, but it is not difficult to see the difference from comparing the data of the two. Ning Weiguo continued, "There are really only 200,000 or 300,000 people in the Far East and Baikal regions. Given their equipment level and air superiority, if we want to hold out, we need at least twice as many troops. If we want to win, we must deploy superior forces." …… At the same time, Ning Weidong drove back to the vicinity of Fuchengmen. I didn't pull the car into the alley, but stopped it on the side of the main road under a street lamp, in a well-lit area to avoid being damaged by others. Ning Weidong got out of the car, locked the door, and then walked home slowly. It was already past nine o'clock, and the alley was quite quiet, with only the occasional meowing of stray cats. Ning Weidong returned to the slum and was about to walk inside when he suddenly frowned and someone came out from the door. Ning Weidong took a quick glance and saw that it was a stranger. He couldn't help but feel surprised. How could there be a stranger here at this time? However, there were many people living in the courtyard, and Ning Weidong was too lazy to meddle in other people's business. He slightly moved sideways on the steps to let the other party go out first. The man passed by Ning Weidong and walked inside, but just as he passed through the Guangliang gate and was about to turn into the moon gate in the east wing, another unfamiliar face came out from the moon gate in the backyard. Ning Weidong couldn't help but take another look and wondered what happened in the backyard and why so many outsiders came? But no matter how much he thought about it, Ning Weidong had no good reason to go over and take a look, so he still went into the East Courtyard. When I saw his house for the first time, the lights were on. After returning to the company's courtyard this afternoon, Ning Weidong called the neighborhood committee to inform Bai Fengyu that he was back. In addition, let Bai Fengyu go home from get off work and light the stove in his house. Ning Weidong has been away for more than half a month. Although Bai Fengyu is looking after the house, no one has lived there for such a long time. In addition, it is winter now, and when he returns home and lights the stove, the house cannot be warmed up for a while. Then he looked towards the Bai family. Under the light, you can see a figure reading a book inside the window. Ning Weidong smiled happily and simply carried the things to Bai Fengyu's house. The door was not locked, so Ning Weidong pushed it in. The noise of the door startled Bai Fengyu. She got up and came out of the inner room. When she saw Ning Weidong, her eyes lit up. She rushed up in two steps and hugged Ning Weidong, resting her head on his chest. After hugging for a few seconds, he said softly, "It's great to have you back!" Ning Weidong hugged her with his backhand and bent down to kiss her hair: "Are you worried at home?"
Bai Fengyu hummed and looked up like a pitiful puppy: "When I lie on the kang at night and close my eyes, all I think about is you." As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes. Ning Weidong thought to himself that it was really made of water, going up and down, and water came and went as it pleased. "Why are you still crying? Come and see what I brought you." Bai Fengyu wiped her tears and argued: "I didn't cry. I'm so happy that you're back safely~" Ning Weidong put the bag in his hand on the dining table and took things out one by one: "These are Sulian's high heels. I bought them in size 38. Try them on and see if they are big enough." Bai Fengyu has small feet, so she usually wears cloth shoes she makes herself at home, and wears store-bought shoes to work. Usually they wear size 37, sometimes they can wear size 36. When I heard it was size 38, I was a little worried: "Why did you buy such a big one?" Ning Weidong said, "The foot shape of the people in Sulian is different from ours. Their feet are thin and long. Many women wear shoes that are size 39 or 40. I asked around and it's just right to buy a size up." Bai Fengyu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, she would have had no place to return the leather shoes she bought from far away if they didn't fit her. She opened the shoe box and her eyes lit up immediately. But when she got it in her hands, she felt a little confused: "The heels are so high!" Ning Weidong smiled and said, "It looks better if it's higher. Besides, it's not too high. Try it on." Bai Fengyu touched the delicate calfskin on the shoe surface, and excitedly rolled up her cotton trousers. She took off the woolen socks on her feet, and there was a layer of ordinary socks inside. I put the shoe box lid on the ground and carefully stepped my foot in. Surprisingly, it was the perfect size. Ning Weidong smiled and said, "Luckily I bought the 38-inch size, otherwise it would be too small. Put that one on as well." Bai Fengyu responded, put on her clothes quickly, and stood happily, with her head lowered, tucking her hair behind her ears with her hands while stretching her neck to look down. After all, she was a woman whose feet were almost invisible when she lowered her head. "It's so beautiful!" Bai Fengyu liked it very much, but Ning Weidong always felt awkward standing aside. An idea flashed through my mind, and I suddenly reacted and took out another thing from my pocket: "Put this on, I was wondering why something is wrong~" Bai Fengyu didn't understand what was going on. She took something out of the bag, shook it open gently, and asked curiously, "What is this?" Ning Weidong said: "Stockings are specially matched with skirts and high heels." Bai Fengyu just reacted and her cheeks turned red instantly. This pair of socks is separate, with no crotch in the middle and no heel. If you don’t know, it would be hard to understand. Bai Fengyu blushed because she had seen those female spies before liberation in the movies, and also the women in those brothels who wore slit cheongsams, showing their long white legs, and wore this kind of socks. In short, they were not good people. If it were her, she would definitely not be so shameless, but when she met Ning Weidong's gaze, she didn't want to refuse. Ning Weidong continued to take things out of his pocket. There were about ten pairs of stockings of similar style, and a dress with a beautiful pattern, which was also called a bragi. "Oh, it's Bragi!" Bai Fengyu exclaimed. She was not so excited when she saw the high heels just now. She had wanted to buy a bra for a long time, but had never been willing to do so. Bai Fengyu grabbed the skirt, tried it on herself, said "Wait for me", and went into the inner room.
Although he had already seen everything he needed to see, Ning Weidong was still willing to cooperate at this time. After about seven or eight minutes, Bai Fengyu timidly poked her head out from the inner room, then stretched out one leg, wearing black high heels and flesh-colored stockings. She deliberately pulled up her skirt to reveal her slender calves, then she flashed out and came to Ning Weidong, spinning around like a butterfly: "Does it look good?" Ning Weidong looked at them. Although in his opinion, these leather shoes and dress styles were very old, a real beauty is not picky about clothes. They looked really beautiful on Bai Fengyu. "It looks good~" Ning Weidong couldn't help but go forward and hug her. Bai Fengyu was startled and refused, "Wait a minute, don't ruin your clothes." She knew how strong Ning Weidong's hands were. Ning Weidong chuckled: "You want it so much?" Bai Fengyu's cheeks turned even redder, and she stamped her feet and said, "I didn't~" Ning Weidong patted her butt through her clothes and said, "Don't be in a hurry. You can't escape tonight." Then he took out the last thing from his pocket. Bai Fengyu's eyes widened. "Do you like it?" Ning Weidong shook it off and asked with a smile. "This~this color is too bright." Bai Fengyu took a red wool coat from Ning Weidong. It was not the maroon color often seen on the streets, but a particularly bright red. The style was the same as the one Wang Yuzhen wore, only the color was different. Ning Weidong also took a shortcut and bought three pieces of the same style in different colors. One was given to Wang Yuzhen, and the other two were given one to Bai Fengyu and one to Shi Xiaonan. As for An Ning, she had no shortage of woolen coats, so Ning Weidong bought something else. Not to mention Zhao Ruyu. "Try it on~" Ning Weidong raised his chin. Bai Fengyu naturally liked it. The reason why she said it was too bright was not because she didn't like it, but because she was afraid that she couldn't wear it out. At this time, the majority of clothes people wear on the streets are still black, blue and green. Bright red is rare. Even women would just wear a red scarf at most. Ning Weidong knew that when the 1980s came next year, the fashion for dressing would suddenly undergo a huge change, with all kinds of colors and styles no longer restricted. However, Bai Fengyu still doesn't dare to wear it out now. She only dares to show off at home. Maybe she will try to wear it out when next spring comes and she sees someone wearing it on the street. After looking at the gifts Ning Weidong brought, Bai Fengyu reluctantly changed back into the clothes she usually wore at home. The clothes they took off were placed on the kang one by one, as if on display. Ning Weidong sat beside her, held her in his arms and asked, "I haven't been home these days, how is your night college going?" Ning Weidong had already made arrangements for the night school before leaving, and all he had to do was go to class on the right day. When talking about this, Bai Fengyu's eyes lit up: "I went there, it was really good, the teachers there are very good~" Bai Fengyu chattered with her hands and feet gesticulating as she told some interesting stories about her time at night university, including those from her classmates and teachers.
Ning Weidong listened patiently without any impatience. Anyway, he had nothing else to do today. After Bai Fengyu finished speaking, he asked again: "What about the house? Didn't you ask around?" Before leaving, Ning Weidong mentioned that he wanted to find a new house for Bai Fengyu so that she wouldn't have to live in the slum anymore, as it would be inconvenient in everything. Bai Fengyu was stunned for a moment, shook her head and said nothing. Ning Weidong said: "If you like someone, just tell me. It's too embarrassing to talk to me." Bai Fengyu whispered, "I didn't like it either. I just heard from Sister Wang from the neighborhood committee that there is a house not far east of the Imperial City, less than 200 meters from Tongzi River, and it seems to be for sale, but I didn't say anything." Ning Weidong said, "It's a good place. I'll ask someone to see what's going on." Bai Fengyu hummed, feeling a little nervous, afraid that she had gone too far. Although she had never been there in person, she heard from Sister Wang from the neighborhood committee that the courtyard was originally a branch courtyard of a large house, but now it has its own door. Although there is only one entrance, the area is not small. The gate of the courtyard faces Beichizi Street. There are three large northern rooms, two small ear rooms on the east and west sides, plus the side rooms on the left and right, a total of fourteen rooms, and the courtyard is more than one hundred square meters. If I really buy all of them, it will definitely be spacious to live in. But then again, if Bai Fengyu really had to live alone in such a big yard, she would still feel a little scared. After saying this, Ning Weidong suddenly remembered the two people he saw coming out of the backyard, and asked, "Did something happen in the backyard? I just came back and saw that the two people were not from our yard." Bai Fengyu said: "You don't know, the second kid from the old Xue family in the backyard is gone~" Ning Weidong was stunned: "Xue Lao Er, Xue Dongfang? Gone?" Bai Fengyu nodded: "It was Xue Lao Er, who said this four days ago." Ning Weidong asked curiously, "How did he die? He was young and in good shape, how could he just disappear like that?" He didn't have much friendship with the old Xue family in the backyard, because the structure of this large compound was that after entering the gate and turning right, it was the east wing. To get to the backyard, one had to go to the innermost part and go through the moon gate in the northwest of the front yard. Although they are said to be in the same courtyard, in reality, people living in the east courtyard and the back courtyard rarely meet each other. Instead, the residents in the front courtyard and the back courtyard are closer. Even so, there was a wedding or funeral in the hospital and I didn't make it. It would have been fine if I didn't know about it, but now that I know about it, I must go and meet him in person to avoid people gossiping behind his back, especially in Ning Weidong's situation. Everyone knows that he has made great progress, so it is easier for people to make fun of him if there is anything he has not taken care of. Bai Fengyu said, "He said he went to the Yongding River to fish, but the ice on the river bank wasn't frozen solid, so he slipped in." Ning Weidong suddenly realized that this could indeed be fatal. At that time, everyone was wearing thick cotton jackets and trousers. Falling into the water was like carrying a 200-pound sack. The water was icy cold and you would be frozen to death in a short time. If no one rescued you, you would be basically dead. Some memories of the original owner emerged in Ning Weidong's mind, and he felt a little sad. He asked, "What does the hospital say about this matter? What is the rule?" Bai Fengyu said: "There is no rule. After all, we are all old neighbors. We should help each other if we can. The old couple of the Xue family almost lost half their lives after this incident." Ning Weidong looked at the time and it was almost ten o'clock.
It was too late and he was too lazy to go, so he decided to wait until tomorrow. At this time, people did not dare to hold a grand funeral, but usually they would decorate the house and not let anyone take care of it, because every family has weddings and funerals. It’s hard for Xue Dongfang’s wife. As Ning Weidong recalls, Xue Dongfang's wife Wang Xiaoying was only 23 years old. They got married last year, and she became a widow this year. Wang Xiaoying is also a native of Beijing. Her parents are both state-owned enterprise workers. Her family is well-off and is a good match for the Xue family. She looks pretty good, with a fair complexion, but a little thin. He is usually sharp-tongued and likes to argue with his old lady, sometimes making Aunt Xue so angry that she jumps high. However, Wang Xiaoying is very smart. Every time she goes all out, she picks on things where she is right. So although she has a bad relationship with her mother-in-law, she is generally popular in the hospital. Since they planned to talk about it tomorrow, Ning Weidong simply let the matter go and held Bai Fengyu in his arms while playing ball and talking. After talking for a while, Bai Fengyu felt itchy inside and was about to get some water to wash Ning Weidong's feet. It’s almost time to get on the kang after washing your feet. But unexpectedly, at this moment, I suddenly heard someone shouting outside. The two of them were startled and immediately became alert. It was late at night, and without anyone noticing, so the two of them secretly got together. But now is not the right time. With such a sudden big commotion, someone will definitely go out to watch the fun. Ning Weidong frowned and said, "I'll go out and see what's going on." Bai Fengyu nodded: "It seems to be the movement in the backyard." Ning Weidong calmed down a little, looked out the door, saw that there was no one in the yard, and walked out of the house. First go back to his house and put on a cotton jacket. Just now Ning Weidong went to Bai Fengyu's house to eat. The two houses were close to each other, so he didn't wear a coat. When I came out again, I happened to meet the Yin family next door who also opened the door and someone came out. "Manager Ning!" A young woman came out. She looked somewhat like Shi Xiaonan. Of course, her looks were not as pretty as Shi Xiaonan's, but she was also pretty good. The woman's name was Shi Yuxiu. She was somewhat related to Shi Xiaonan and could be considered sisters with the same surname. She married Yin Guang, the eldest son of the Yin family. Although they are relatives, Shi Yuxiu and Shi Xiaonan did not have a very good relationship originally. Ning Weidong said with a smile: "It's Yin Guang's wife~" Yin Guang is older than Ning Weidong. The original owner used to call him brother when they met, but now when Ning Weidong calls him that, he doesn’t dare to respond. Shi Yuxiu took two steps forward and asked, "I heard you were on a business trip. When did you come back?" Ning Weidong said, "I just came back tonight, and I haven't finished cleaning yet. What was the noise just now? It seemed to be in the backyard." Shi Yuxiu couldn't hide her gloating mood: "It should be that Wang Xiaoying and Aunt Xue got into a fight again."
As they were talking, a few more people came out from their homes. Some of them were in dishevel, and it was obvious that they had just gotten up to join in the fun. Ning Weidong blended in and soon arrived at the front yard. In the front yard, each family lit up their lamps, put on their cotton-padded jackets, and went straight to the backyard to see. Ning Weidong walked forward and suddenly felt a little regretful. He felt that he was redundant and why did he join in the fun? The main reason was that Ning Weidong didn’t expect so many people to come out. He originally thought that since he was back, he would at least have to meet up if anything happened in the hospital. Just as I reached the moon gate in the backyard, a dark shadow suddenly flashed by. "Fuck, I have a hidden weapon!" someone shouted from the front. Then I heard a cry of "Ouch!", followed by a toneless curse: "Who the hell threw that into the trash can~ Bah..." I don't know what burst into my mouth, and I vomited several times after I finished yelling. Ning Weidong looked into the backyard. My goodness, a fight has already broken out. Wang Xiaoying and Aunt Xue are fighting each other desperately. Both of them have disheveled hair and look very embarrassed. After all, Aunt Xue is old, and she suffered a loss at the hands and had her face scratched. There was a slap mark on Wang Xiaoying's face, probably caused by her mother-in-law, which was the fuse that triggered the conflict. At the side, Master Yin was also extremely angry, his lips were trembling. Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu in the front yard were practicing persuasion and pulling, trying to separate the two people who were fighting. Just at this moment, Wang Zipeng spotted Ning Weidong and immediately squeezed over, shaking his arms and whispering, "Leader, when did you come back?" Ning Weidong leaned against the wall with him and said, "We just got home." He pouted and said, "What's going on? Why are they fighting?" Wang Zipeng said, "Well, how can we not fight?" He lowered his voice and said, "Wang Xiaoying instigated Xue Dongfang to go fishing by the river." Ning Weidong suddenly realized that this was no wonder. Aunt Xue's son had died, and Xue Dongfang and Wang Xiaoying had no children. She would definitely not stay in the Xue family as a widow, so there was no need to leave any room for her. But Wang Xiaoying is not a pushover either, and the two of them are at loggerheads. It was originally a farce, and it would be over if they just pulled the two of them together. But at this moment, several people came in from the gate of the slum, led by a middle-aged man in his forties, followed by three young men, who rushed in aggressively. Wang Zipeng couldn't hold back his smile when he saw this. He pulled Ning Weidong aside and whispered, "The Wang family is here. That's Wang Xiaoying's dad and her three brothers." Nowadays, if a family has three or four grown-up sons, they can speak with confidence among the neighbors. If you have five or six sons, that's it, no one around will dare to mess with you. As the saying goes, brothers fight together and fathers and sons fight together in battle. When the Wang family's father and son arrived and saw their daughters and sisters were injured, they immediately became angry: "Xue, how dare you gang up on my daughter!"
