Chapter 29 Who will come to him at this time? "Dongzi, hurry up and start brewing while it's hot." Zhou Kun had already finished the first teacup of wine, which was probably more than two taels. Ning Weidong was really hungry, so he picked up a piece of fish belly with chopsticks. This place has the least fish bones and tastes the best. When I took a bite, it was indeed very fragrant and the meat was of good quality. Unlike the fish we eat in later generations, most of them are farmed, which do not move enough in the fish pond and need to be treated with medicine to prevent disease. The bad thing is that it has a slightly earthy smell. It's not the fish's fault. One reason is that before Ning Weidong traveled through time, he had become picky about food due to the endless supply of seasonings. Another reason is that the seasonings at home in this era were limited, and there wasn't even ginger in the pot, which is essential for cooking fish. In the summer, sprinkling a handful of coriander could at least suppress the earthy smell, but there was no coriander in the winter. But since you're eating and drinking for free, you have no right to be picky. Zhou Kun didn't care at all. He ate the fish and drank the wine with big mouthfuls. In no time, he finished the second jar of wine. Ning Weidong didn't try to get close to him, he just ate and drank slowly. Zhou Kun was not a particularly cunning person. After drinking a few glasses of wine, he wiped his mouth with his hand, rubbed his palms twice, and sucked his teeth hard: "Dongzi, let me ask you a question." Ning Weidong looked at him: "Well, you say~"

Zhou Kun said: "In the guesthouse of your factory's logistics department, there is a person named Zhao Huiru..." Ning Weidong had guessed that Zhou Kun was busy, but he had no impression of Zhao Huiru. After all, there were more than 12,000 people in the Red Star Factory, and it was not uncommon for him not to know her. He took a sip of wine and smiled: "Why, do you like this girl? Do you want me to help you get to know her?" Zhou Kun had a conflicted expression. He picked up the teacup and took a big sip. He said with a bitter face, "Dongzi, I'm telling you the truth. This woman was introduced to me by a member of my team. We met two days ago..." Ning Weidong blinked his eyes. Why were you still looking for him when you already knew him? Coupled with Zhou Kun's constipated expression, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "No~ Is there something wrong with this woman?" …… When I came out of Zhou Kun's house, it was already past six o'clock and it was dark outside. The snow had stopped in the afternoon. Ning Weidong was slightly tipsy, and when he entered the courtyard, he shivered in the cold wind. He hurriedly stepped on the snow to the east across the courtyard, making a "crunching" sound under his feet, and walked a few steps quickly to the upper house. The light was on in the house. Ning Weidong walked to the door and called out "Brother~Sister-in-law~" and pushed the door open. Ning Weiguo and his wife were both in the outer room, sitting next to the eight-immortal table. After dinner, Ning Weiguo was writing at his desk while Wang Yuzhen was correcting homework. "Weidong is back~" Wang Yuzhen stood up and made a cup of hot tea to sober her up. Ning Weiguo put on the cap of the pen and said with a smile: "I met with Li Peihang today. What do you think?" Ning Weidong took the teacup, said "Thank you, sister-in-law", took a sip and said, "What can I think? I just want to borrow your and sister-in-law's face to make myself familiar with you, so that I can talk to you more easily in the factory in the future." Wang Yuzhen on the side didn't say anything, but she gave Ning Weidong more points in her heart. Know how to manage personal connections and never be afraid of challenges wherever you go. Don't be fooled by some people who are usually loud and can poke a hole in the sky with their words. But when it comes to the real thing, they can't even speak clearly when they meet a high-ranking official or go to the government office to do some work. Ning Weidong briefly told Li Peihang about his meeting with him during the day and then returned to the earthquake shelter.

Ning Lei was lying on the bed wrapped in a quilt, reading a comic book. When he saw Ning Weidong, he absentmindedly called out "Third Uncle". Ning Weidong said "hmm", took a look at the stove, added a few coal balls with a tin poker, kicked his heels, put on his cotton shoes, and sat down beside the bed to think about Zhou Kun. It’s not complicated to explain. Zhou Kun and his tricycle rider introduced him to a girl, Zhao Huiru. It was originally a good thing. Zhou Kun went there and met the girl. The girl was 26 years old, tall and good-looking. Although she worked in a large collective and earned less, Zhou Kun didn't care. He didn't care that the girl's family conditions were not good. His only criterion for finding a partner was good looks. The woman is not young anymore and she comes here sincerely for the purpose of getting married. Zhou Kun was quite happy at first, but a few days later he heard some bad news, saying that Zhao Huiru was not doing her job properly and was having an affair with a married man at work. Zhou Kun was stunned. He had a good impression of Zhao Huiru, but after all, he didn't know her background well, so he asked Ning Weidong to secretly spy on her in the factory. If they really were having an affair at work, there would definitely be rumors about it. The reason why he met Ning Weidong alone, treated him to a meal and had drinks with him was actually because he hoped Ning Weidong would keep it a secret for him. It would be bad if this kind of thing were to be spread out, and until now the news of his blind date with Zhao Huiru has not spread. For Ning Weidong, this was not a good thing. This kind of thing is not easy to do. If you don't do it well, you will be like Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror and feeling miserable. Although it helped Zhou Kun to find out that the girl had improper conduct, it was also a bad thing, and Zhou Kun might not remember his kindness. If the problem is not found out, if there is any situation in the future, you will be blamed. You said at the beginning that there was nothing wrong with her. Ning Weidong didn't mind this meal. If he had known it was such a thing, he would not have gone. After thinking for a while, Ning Weidong's thoughts returned to the factory. How will Li Peihang respond next? Could it be that Deputy Director Wang who instigated Wu Bingzhong? Or was it someone else... Ning Weidong thought about it over and over again, and before he knew it, more than two hours had passed. Ning Lei fell asleep holding the picture book. Maybe he was tired from playing all day, so he snored from time to time. Ning Weidong glanced at the alarm clock and saw that it was almost ten o'clock. The night commuter bus arrives at Fuchengmen at 11:15, so we have to leave at 11:00, which leaves us another hour. Ning Weidong felt a little sleepy due to Ning Lei's snoring and couldn't help yawning. His hand instinctively reached for the cigarette, but when he put it in his mouth, he saw Ning Lei's sleeping profile, hesitated, and put it back into the cigarette box. Ning Weidong took a deep breath. With more than an hour left, he definitely couldn't sleep. It would be even more troublesome if you fall asleep and miss the bus.

He simply sat up and took a few picture books from Ning Lei's pillow to pass the time. But at this moment, there was a light knock on the door, and then someone lowered his voice and asked, "Brother Weidong, Brother Weidong, are you there?" Ning Weidong was stunned. Who would come to see him in the middle of the night? What happened? My immediate thought was Ning Wei, but the voice didn't sound like him. Moreover, Ning Wei simply called him "Third Brother" instead of "Brother Weidong". Ning Weidong became more careful, immediately got up and put on his shoes, and asked, "Who?" (End of this chapter)
