Chapter 125 Give Me a Child!
"What's all the commotion about?"
Chen Fengnian returned after washing the car. Although he looked quite wet, there were no obvious traces of pig manure on him.
However, before he could even get close, Ma Wencai, who was closest to him, took a big step back.
"Chen Fengnian, where have you been? Did you fall into the latrine?"
"Get lost! I brought back six big fat pigs from Fengtai yesterday!"
"I knew it! You look like you've been marinated to perfection!"
Ma Wencai had an expression of sudden realization.
"Section Chief, next time there's a job hauling pigs, don't ask me for help, just ask Brother Ma and let him experience it!"
Chen Fengnian promptly complained to Wang Chenggong.
"I think it's a good idea!"
Wang Chenggong laughed heartily.
However, Chen Fengnian clearly needs to get a proper wash.
Wang Chenggong gave him two hours off to go to the bathhouse for a good wash and rinse.
Section Chief: My car's engine has blown again; this is the third time this year!
Chen Fengnian didn't rush to leave, but instead explained the situation of his GAZ-51.
Wang Chenggong paused for a moment, then said, "I'll submit a report to the factory and try to get a good car back as soon as possible. You, just hang in there for a while longer!"
'

""
Chen Fengnian didn't want to talk.
But he also understood that there was nothing Wang Chenggong could do if the factory didn't agree to bring in new cars.
All Wang Cheng could do was submit reports!
Although logistics has become Li Huaide's sole authority, matters like buying cars are not something he can decide on his own. He has to discuss it with Director Yang and have it discussed at the factory office meeting.
In short, small amounts of money are fine, but large amounts are none of my business.
Otherwise, why would Li Huaide be so obsessed with getting Director Yang removed?
After all, power really is a good thing!
Chen Fengnian went to take a shower, while the others went to the cafeteria for lunch.
The small canteen, with Sha Zhu's cooking skills.
Although everyone said they wanted to rip off the king, they didn't really go all out when ordering food. They ordered mostly home-style dishes, with only two meat dishes.
One dish is stir-fried pork with scallions, and the other is stir-fried eggs!
Other dishes include tofu, shredded potatoes, cabbage, and glass noodles.
Of course, it wasn't just that people were too embarrassed to eat it; another reason was that the factory didn't actually have many meat ingredients.
There are definitely some meat and fish in the warehouse, but those are all sustenances that the leaders use for entertaining guests; they can't just be taken out and cooked casually.
No matter how much trouble Wang Chenggong causes, he can't possibly steal meat from his leader's mouth.
Rights!
Although people say that workers are the masters of their own destiny these days, they don't actually have that opportunity when it comes to enjoying certain benefits.
After lunch, we went back to the transportation department.
After a short rest, the afternoon's transportation tasks were assigned, and Shen Zhishou also had to get out of the car.
He could only go with Wang Chenggong to tow Chen Fengnian's GAZ-51 back first.
The car repair was naturally handled by Wang Chenggong and Chen Fengnian, who hadn't returned yet. Shen Zhishou's afternoon task was to help the street office transport various winter supplies prepared for the elderly living alone in the area.
"Oh, by the way, before you leave, go to the supplies department first. Our factory also has some supplies to deliver to the elderly workers. Take them with you; someone from the supplies department will help you!"
When Shen Zhishou got out of his car, Wang Chenggong patted his car door and gave him some more tasks.
Shen Zhishou just wanted to say, you're the kind of person who's good at causing trouble.
But these are things I can only say to myself.
Driving to the Materials Section, Shen Zhishou parked the car and went straight to the Materials Section office.
"Section Chief, the comrades from the Transportation Section have arrived!"
Upon seeing Shen Zhishou, the clerk from the materials department immediately called out into the office.
A short while later, Lan Ninghui came out of the office.
"Section Chief, do you need me to come along?"
Geng Fang, a clerk in the materials department, glanced at Lan Ninghui, his voice tinged with excitement.
The young man was quite good-looking, wearing black-rimmed glasses that gave him a refined and scholarly appearance.
Lan Ninghui frowned slightly and said, "If someone needs to stay in the office, I can go there myself!"
"But there's a lot of stuff!"
Geng Fang was still unwilling to give up.
Even when Lan Ninghui is wearing ordinary work clothes, her natural beauty makes her exceptionally attractive to the opposite sex.
"It's alright, the comrades in the transportation department can lend a hand!"
Upon hearing this, Geng Fang could only give up the idea of going out with Lan Ninghui.
Shen Zhishou stood to the side. As an observer and a man, how could he not see that Geng Fang had some feelings for Lan Ninghui?
It's understandable for a young man to be in love!
However, Shen Zhishou always felt a little uncomfortable, as if his possessions were being coveted.
As Shen Zhishou walked out of the materials department office, he couldn't help but shudder. Something was wrong!
How could he have had such a thought just now?
Lan Ninghui has absolutely no connection with him.
Ultimately, Shen Zhishou attributed it all to the primal possessiveness of male animals!
Shen Zhishou opened the passenger door for Lan Ninghui and then acted as a handrail to help her get in easily. He didn't slam the door shut, but rather slammed it shut a little more gently.
I got back into the driver's seat, started the car, and headed straight for the warehouse.
The steel mill prepared a lot of things for the retired elderly workers, including food and clothing.
Seeing these things, Shen Zhishou couldn't help but wonder what kind of benefits the factory would give to the workers at the end of the year.
This time, there were people helping to move things in the warehouse, and Shen Zhishou was able to take a rare break.
Once everything was loaded onto the truck, the truck started, drove out of the steel rolling mill, and headed straight for the street office.
At the neighborhood office, someone was already waiting outside the courtyard. As soon as they saw the car approaching, they waved to signal it.
On the way to the subdistrict office, Shen Zhishou and Lan Ninghui did not exchange any words at all, as if they were two strangers.
This feeling is really strange!
The car stopped near the neighborhood office. Shen Zhishou glanced at Lan Ninghui and asked, "Section Chief Lan, are you getting out of the car?"
"Um!
'
Lan Ninghui nodded.
Shen Zhishou understood, got out of the car, opened the passenger door, and gentlemanly helped Lan Ninghui out of the car.
Then, Shen Zhishou met Director Wang of the neighborhood office, who was renowned throughout the courtyard.
Lan Ninghui seemed to know the other person very well.
"Aunt Wang!"
"Ning Hui, I knew it would be you coming. Come on, let's go inside and have a cup of tea first, and let the others load the supplies onto the truck." "As you wish!"
When facing Director Wang, Lan Ninghui relaxed a little. Although she still didn't smile, it was clear that she wasn't as unapproachable as she seemed.
Shen Zhishou naturally stood guard by his side.
The supplies from the steel rolling mill and the supplies from the street office must not be mixed up.
Most importantly, we must prevent anyone from taking away the steel rolling mill's materials.
It's not that Shen Zhishou is a petty person, but rather that he acts like a petty person first and then a gentleman later.
If something is missing, who is responsible?
We cannot expect everyone around us to be good, so taking necessary precautions is essential.
Half an hour later, the street office staff finally loaded all the supplies they had prepared onto the truck. The efficiency was exceptionally low, making Shen Zhishou anxious for them.
However, he ultimately did not offer to lend a hand.
He has to guard the car!
After packing the supplies, we began our afternoon of distributing them.
Director Wang was traveling with a clerk from the subdistrict office. The two rode bicycles ahead, while Shen Zhishou and Lan Ninghui followed behind.
Whenever they arrived at the residences of the retired steel mill workers, Lan Ninghui would ask Shen Zhishou to accompany her.
Then, Shen Zhishou discovered that Lan Ninghui could also smile when facing these elderly people.
The smile was just formulaic, a superficial one.
Shen Zhishou had been secretly observing Lan Ninghui and discovered that she was probably born not liking to smile, or perhaps she had some kind of psychological disorder.
By the time the day's work was over, it was already dark, and the workers had long since gone home.
"Section Chief Lan, how about I take you home?"
Shen Zhishou looked at Lan Ninghui and slowly spoke.
"My bicycle is still at the factory!"
Lan Ninghui's answer made the answer quite clear.
Shen Zhishou stopped arguing and drove Lan Ninghui back to the steel rolling mill.
The office of the supplies department was locked.
There were still people in the transportation department. Wang Chenggong and Chen Fengnian were still repairing the car. Judging from their posture, they were preparing to carry out a major overhaul of the engine!
"Section Chief, Brother Chen, are you planning to finish the repairs before going home?"
"Yes, we need the car tomorrow!"
Wang Chenggong glanced at Shen Zhishou, "You'd better hurry up and park the car properly, and go home as soon as possible!"
"receive!"
Shen Zhishou responded with a smile and drove the car into the garage.
His truck was considered one of the better ones in the steel rolling mill's transportation department.
The Nanjing factory's Yuejin NJ130, although it is also a copy of the GAZ-51, has excellent technology. There is a saying that if the Liberation can't go somewhere, then put it on the Nanjing GAZ!
The Nanjing GAZS mentioned here refers to the series developed by Shen Zhishou.
As a novice, Wang Chenggong took genuine care of him.
If Shen Zhishou were given an old car like the one Chen Fengnian drives, it would be too unfriendly to Shen Zhishou, a novice driver.
After parking the car and saying hello to Wang Chenggong and Chen Fengnian, Shen Zhishou walked towards the gate of the steel rolling mill.
Halfway there, Shen Zhishou glanced subconsciously in the direction of the supplies department, finally sighed, and continued walking out.
After he left the steel rolling mill, he hadn't gone far when he saw Lan Ninghui standing by the roadside pushing her bicycle.
"Section Chief Lan?! Why aren't you home yet?"
"Weren't you going to take me home?"
Lan Ninghui glanced at Shen Zhishou and asked calmly.
Shen Zhishou was stunned for a moment. He meant to drive her home.
However, looking at Lan Ninghui's near-perfect face, Shen Zhishou naturally had no reason to refuse.
Taking the bicycle from Lan Ninghui, Shen Zhishou first straddled the seat, then gestured for Lan Ninghui to sit on the back seat. With a little effort, the bicycle started moving, steadily carrying Lan Ninghui as they set off.
The pleasant navigation prompt sounded again.
To Shen Zhishou's surprise, Lan Ninghui's residence was also in Luogu Lane, but it was not in the same place as No. 95 Courtyard; it was in Dongmianhua Hutong.
The most famous thing about this place is that it has a Central Academy of Drama!
Of course, the drama school at that time was not like the one in later years.
But no matter what, it has nothing to do with Shen Zhishou.
He, a roughneck, had no idea about the affairs of these cultured people.
Lan Ninghui's home is at the end of the alley, a detached house with a plaque of honor hanging on the door.
"Come in!"
Lan Ninghui opened the courtyard gate, stood at the entrance, and smiled at Shen Zhishou. That smile was truly captivating.
If Shen Zhishou hadn't been seasoned and experienced, he definitely wouldn't have been able to withstand it.
At this moment, Shen Zhishou finally understood what his ancestors meant by "a beautiful woman who brings disaster to the country".
It turns out that women can really be this beautiful.
Shen Zhishou didn't know what the goddess of the Luo River described in Cao Zhi's Ode to the Goddess of the Luo River actually looked like, but if Lan Ninghui changed her clothes, she would probably look like that!
After Shen Zhishou followed Lan Ninghui into the courtyard, parked his bicycle, and was about to say goodbye, Lan Ninghui invited him to come in and sit for a while.
Only a fool would refuse an invitation from a beautiful woman.
However, when Shen Zhishou followed Lan Ninghui into the house and saw the situation in the main hall, his filthy thoughts instantly vanished, replaced by boundless piety and reverence.
Older banners hung in the main hall, and rows of medals covered the walls!
Combat hero!
First-class merit!
Second-class merit!
Shen Zhishou didn't know where these things came from, but they were definitely not decorations.
Lan Ninghui glanced at Shen Zhishou's devout expression and slowly said, "These are my father, my mother, my second uncle..."
Third Uncle, this was bought with the lives of my eldest brother, second brother, and third brother!
Listening to Lan Ninghui's words, Shen Zhishou suddenly thought of a phrase: a family full of loyal martyrs.
No wonder Li Huaide, despite being surrounded by such a stunning beauty as Lan Ninghui, never dared to make a move.
"Compared to all this, I would much rather they were still alive!"
Shen Zhishou didn't know the circumstances under which Lan Ninghui's family members had sacrificed their lives, but he only felt admiration, and his nose felt a little sore.
Thinking back on his previous feelings for Lan Ninghui, Shen Zhishou felt utterly despicable.
"Section Chief Lan, ————"
Shen Zhishou felt he should comfort the other person, but after opening his mouth, he didn't know what to say.
He had no right to say anything, nor was he qualified to speak.
"Shen Zhishou, I've looked into you!"
"I need your help!"
Lan Ninghui stood under the lamplight, the dim yellow light of the tungsten filament falling on her face, making her stunningly beautiful features appear more tragic, as if she were a martyr.
Shen Zhishou felt a shiver run down his spine, thinking he must be going crazy.
Lan Ninghui, a martyr?
"Section Chief Lan, just say the word, as long as I can do it!"
Shen Zhishou took a deep breath and gave a solemn response.
No matter what Lan Ninghui asks him to do, as long as he can do it, he will do it without hesitation.
"Give me a child!"
Shen Zhishou was stunned when Lan Ninghui said those words.
What is that?
Could I be hallucinating?
Ignoring Shen Zhishou's bewilderment, Lan Ninghui continued, "I have no intention of getting married in this life, but the Lan family line cannot be broken!"
"Shen Zhishou, give me a child!"
"He will take the surname Lan and will carry on the Lan family line!"
"Section Chief Lan, I'm married!"
Shen Zhishou snapped out of his daze and took a step back. Although he roughly understood what Lan Ninghui meant, he was somewhat hesitant to respond.
Having a child out of wedlock!
Even with such a background, Lan Ninghui would likely face much criticism in this era.
"I know!"
Lan Ninghui remained calm, as if she were talking about something that had nothing to do with her.
"I won't disturb your life!"
"I only need one child!"
"Moreover, no one will doubt the child's background, and he will not face any criticism!"
"Why me?"
Shen Zhishou took a deep breath and slowly opened his mouth.
"The children of the Lan family must not disgrace the Lan family!"
"you're good!"
'

Shen Zhishou felt as if he had been struck by lightning when he heard this.
Indeed, men's three major misconceptions are never wrong.
Lan Ninghui's affection for him wasn't for him as a person, but simply for him as a person!
In Lan Ninghui's eyes, he, Shen Zhishou, was nothing.
However, his genes, those of Shen Zhishou, caught Lan Ninghui's eye.
At this moment, Shen Zhishou had only one feeling: frustration.
He felt he couldn't bear this injustice!
If this happened in later generations, Shen Zhishou wouldn't think much of it, since people in later generations really do have all sorts of bizarre ideas.
But in this era, encountering such a thing, Shen Zhishou couldn't quite understand it.
"Shen Zhishou, give me a child, and I will be your woman!"
"I could spend my whole life doing this!"
"But there's one thing: we can't tell anyone about our relationship!"
"Section Chief Lan, why does it have to be me? I admit I'm stronger, but Beijing is a huge city with many capable people. I don't believe you haven't encountered them before!"
"no the same!"
Lan Ninghui shook her head. "They don't just want me, they want everything from the Lan family!"
"But why?"
"This was earned with the lives of our Lan family. Why should marrying me grant you everything?"
As she said this, a hint of ferocity even appeared on Lan Ninghui's beautiful face.
Shen Zhishou looked at him, and his heart inexplicably trembled.
He suddenly wondered, if he really got together with Lan Ninghui, what if she had a son and then tried to get rid of the father and keep the child?
This woman looks a bit crazy right now!
Beauty can be poisonous; our ancestors were right!
Looking at Lan Ninghui, who was so excited that she lost her composure, Shen Zhishou remained silent for a long time before finally making a difficult decision!
