Chapter 174: Not bad, just right

The old-fashioned cold noodles made in the cafeteria are so delicious that Jiang Ning wants to eat more after finishing it.

When I asked in the past, not much was done.

It takes too much effort to make this by hand, so there is only enough for one small bowl per person.

Just now, his aunt had made three servings of cold noodles for him.

Seeing that the workers behind him were still queuing, Jiang Ning was a man of honor and didn't want to ask for special treatment, so he ordered a bowl of noodles and a few dishes to eat. The noodles were not bad. As there were more people in the cafeteria now, the noodles were all handmade.

I rarely eat machine-made noodles anymore.

After lunch, Jiang Ning dragged the helicopter out.

I flew a long circle alone in a helicopter, visited the afforestation projects on several farms, spread some Yi wood essence, and finally checked the progress of various projects in the second farm, and applied some fertilizer to the planted trees.

The tree planting work is not over yet.

However, the plan to plant five million trees has already been completed. The trees planted now are in the living areas and ranch planning areas. These places also need to plant a large number of trees to improve the environment. The houses in the living areas are being renovated, and the land leveling has just been completed in the ranch area.

Planting trees and sowing seeds.

The water diversion project has not been completed yet and it is planned to deliver water in the early spring of next year.

However, water has already been produced from several wells that were dug.

After flying around various places, I finally went to the project department to work.

I listened to the report for an hour and held a meeting for an hour.

Finally, I signed for an hour and had dinner with everyone in the open-air cafeteria. I didn't have any free time until after get off work, so I went to see the dormitory where my sister-in-law Xu Wenjing lived. It was a shabby house with three girls living in it.

Xu Wenjing got a little tanned. Construction always requires some hardship.

"Brother-in-law, will you come tomorrow?"

"I'm coming."

"Then I'll go with you, and you bring me here tomorrow."

"You don't live here, why are you running for a game?"

"I haven't been to the county town for two weeks. It's not convenient to take a bus here, and it's not convenient to take someone else's car. I want to go to see Yamato No. 2 Biao. I want to go back and take a shower. It's not convenient to take a shower here. I haven't taken a shower for two weeks..."

Xu Wenjing found a lot of excuses, all of which were quite sufficient.

Jiang Ning had no choice but to take her with him.

When I flew back, the canteen was already closed.

After driving to the villa, Feng Yu and Feng Xue also packed up and came over.

Jiang Ning put Xu Wenjing down and drove away.

Socializing in the evening.

The next day I flew to another venue and continued to be busy.

After two busy days, my sister-in-law Chen Huiru was discharged from the hospital.

Instead of going home, I stayed directly in the confinement center.

I don't know when it started, but women no longer stay at home to recuperate after giving birth. Instead, they go to confinement centers. They stay there for less than a month and it costs more than 20,000 yuan. The most expensive confinement nanny in Bei'an only costs 6,000 yuan a month, and you can hire several of them.

Jiang Ning had been busy for a few days and did not go out on Saturday afternoon.

After dinner, Feng Yu and I went to the confinement center to take a look.

The Benz hasn't come back yet. It's undergoing maintenance in the provincial capital.

Jiang Ning didn't drive a 570, but Feng Yu's small Toyota.

Parking is difficult in the city recently, and it is troublesome for large cars.

The car is small and easy to park.

Feng Yu looked out the window and said, "Bei'an has changed so much in this year!"

Jiang Ning hummed: "Parking is becoming more and more troublesome."

Feng Yu smiled and said, "You can't look at it that way. Parking is not as convenient as before, but it's free now!"

Jiang Ning said: "The parking fee is only a few dollars. I would rather pay the parking fee than compete with others for a parking space."

Feng Yu said: "But ordinary people say it's good and they don't have to pay for parking."

Jiang Ning didn't know whether to say this was a good thing or a bad thing. In the past, there were a large number of parking spaces on Bei'an Street, and they had developed some kind of smart parking system. All parking spaces downstairs in the shopping mall were equipped with a charging system.

This year they were all demolished, so you can park them wherever you want.

So parking becomes very troublesome and it is often difficult to find a parking space.

To be honest, Jiang Ning would rather pay the parking fee.

I don't want to come here for a long time and still not be able to find a parking space.

Feng Yu asked him, "I heard that those cameras on the road are also going to be removed?"

Jiang Ning hummed: "It's not easy to dismantle. The bank is not easy to deal with."

Feng Yu praised Boss Lu: "Boss Lu is a real man. It would be best if those cameras could be removed. Otherwise, every time I drive past those cameras, I worry about being photographed for crossing the line and violating traffic rules. There are cameras everywhere on the street. It's really annoying."

Jiang Ning said: "The bank paid out 100 million yuan. How can we demolish it without paying back the fine?"

Feng Yu sighed, not knowing what to say.

A certain bank spent 100 million yuan to purchase the rights to install and use cameras in Beian. They installed so many cameras that they even installed quite a few on the road near Yong'an New Village where there are few cars. They are specifically used to photograph traffic violations, but they only impose fines and do not deduct points.

Even though Mr. Jiang drives so well, he still gets fined more than two thousand dollars a year.

Boss Lu wanted to tear it down, but the bank was not happy.

I've spent so much money, how can I not get it back?

But the bank does not have the control over the cameras and has no power to issue fines. Boss Lu has ordered that no fines be issued, so the traffic management department will naturally comply. The bank is in a dilemma as it cannot waste so much money. I heard that they have been arguing over this matter.

There are both advantages and disadvantages to not charging for parking.

Anyway, for a rich man like Jiang Ning, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.

But Jiang Ning also wholeheartedly agreed that filming traffic violations is not allowed.

He received a lot of fines for traffic violations every year.

Many times, you accidentally cross a line, and it is not worth it to call the police chief for two hundred dollars. I would rather pay two hundred dollars than waste my favor. It would be best if they don't issue a ticket. This is definitely a measure that is very beneficial to both the poor and the rich.

A civilized city should not rely on fines and confiscations to support its finances.

When we arrived downstairs at the confinement center, we found that it was a bustling area.

There were so many people and cars that it was a huge traffic jam.

Jiang Ning drove for a long time but couldn't find a parking space.

You can park on the sidewalk.

But the sidewalk platform is quite high and off-road vehicles can go up.

The car is powerless.

Just park the car on the non-motorized vehicle lane and get off!

The man in green vest came over and saw that it was Jiang Ning. He said quickly, "Boss Jiang, we can't stop!"

Jiang Ning asked: "Then where should I stop?"

The man in the green vest said with a bitter face: "There are too many cars here. It would be fine to park here at night when there are no cars. But now is a traffic jam period. If you park here, it will hinder the passage of other vehicles. How about you drive to the back and have a look?"

Jiang Ning was helpless and did not make things difficult for him.

He let Feng Yu go upstairs first and drove the car to the back.

I found an alley, drove in, and parked in front of a nightclub.

As soon as the car stopped, a woman ran out and said, "You are not allowed to park here."

Jiang Ning looked around and realized that it was indeed not a good idea to block someone's door.

So he opened the door forward and avoided the other person's door.

The woman refused to let him stop: "You are not allowed to park here."

Jiang Ning asked: "I didn't park in front of your door, why can't I park?"

The woman had a good reason: "Your parking here affects our business."

Jiang Ning walked to the back of the car and took a look. Feng Yu's car was shorter and the rear of the car just missed the main entrance. He pointed at the car and said, "My car is not blocking your door, so how can it affect your business?"

The woman kept trying to stop him: "Since we're not allowed to park here, please park somewhere else!"

Jiang Ning said: "I will only stay for ten minutes and then leave."

The woman said: "Even ten minutes is not enough, drive away quickly."

Jiang Ning asked: "What if I don't drive away?"

The woman's tone became worse: "If you don't drive away, I will call the police."

Jiang Ning said, "Why are you being unreasonable? I'm not blocking your door. Can't you just talk to me nicely? This is a public area. Why can't you let people park? Are you the boss? Why are you so overbearing?"

The woman got angry and said, "Why do you care if I'm the boss? Drive away or I'll call the police."

"Just report it, and it would be best if the traffic police could tow the car away for me!"

Jiang Ning ignored this woman who might be in menopause, and left after saying this.

The woman cursed angrily and actually called the police.

The green vests came quite quickly and asked, "Which car is blocking your door?"

The woman pointed at Feng Yu's Toyota: "This one."

The green vest wanted to curse, but now it was different from the past, and he had to serve with a smile, so he had to patiently say: "The other car drove past your gate, how does it affect your business?"

The woman was unreasonable: "Parking this car here will affect our business."

The green vest said: "How does this car affect your business? They didn't block your door and people couldn't get in."

The woman just said: "Anyway, we don't allow parking on either side of our door."

The green vest couldn't hold back his anger. "Can you be reasonable? According to the county's requirements, you can park anywhere as long as it doesn't hinder traffic. The isolation belt under the county government building has been removed to allow people to park for free. The public area is not yours, so why don't you allow people to park? After a few days of good times, you don't know how high the sky is, do you?"

When a woman is angry, she is very good at fighting back.

I was worried about getting into trouble, so I finally endured it.

But I can't swallow this.

……

At the confinement center, Jiang Ning made a phone call.

I went up to the third floor and walked around for a long time before I found the room where Chen Huiru lived.

The house is quite spacious, about 50 square meters, and has all the necessary living facilities.

Things like heated toilets, carbonized drinking water equipment, etc.

It sounds very noble.

Zhang Yulan also came with her eldest granddaughter.

Jiang Hua's mother-in-law was also there, but the child was not there.

Jiang Ning asked.

Zhang Yulan said: "The nurse took him to be nursed."

Jiang Ning asked, "Who will you sleep with at night? I heard that the nurse will help take care of the baby at night?"

Jiang Hua nodded: "We have this service. Some children like to cry a lot at night, and the adults can't rest well, so they are handed over to the nurses. However, they need to be fed several times at night, and I have to get up to feed them several times, which is a bit tiring."

Zhang Yulan taught her sons: "You will understand once you are asked to serve yourself. You all think raising children is easy. You men all think making money is not easy, but you don't know how much hard work women have to endure at home." Jiang Hua pursed his lips and said nothing.

He didn't take much care of his daughter after she was born.

It's my mother and wife who are worried about it.

Now she is living in a confinement center, and Xiao Tingting doesn't want to live with the nanny. Mother Jiang has to take care of her granddaughter, so she can't take Xiao Tingting to live in the confinement center to take care of her. He can only accompany Chen Huiru during the confinement period, and he has to get up several times a night.

I was sleeping soundly in the middle of the night!

Suddenly there was a howl, which was so awakening.

The taste is sour and refreshing.

Jiang Ning sat for a while, waiting for the nurse to bring the child back for a look.

In just a few days, the little guy grew up.

His face was smooth, no longer wrinkled like when he was just born.

The head is just a little flat, which looks uncoordinated.

Chen Huiru wanted to rest, so Jiang Ning and Feng Yu didn't stay long either.

Left in less than twenty minutes.

In fact, the confinement center does not recommend too many relatives to visit.

Arrived downstairs.

Jiang Ning also asked Feng Yu: "Why is the child's head so flat? Is there something wrong?"

Feng Yu glanced at him and said, "It's always like that when you're just born. It will heal slowly."

Jiang Ning said "oh" and didn't ask any more questions, "Will you stay at home after giving birth or come to a confinement center?"

Feng Yu had obviously thought about it a long time ago, and said: "I will stay at home and not come to the confinement center. The confinement center is to make money. No matter how good the service is, those nurses can't treat other people's children as their own. I don't feel at ease to let them take the baby away. More than 20,000 is more than enough to hire four confinement nannies. The conditions at home are so good, why should I spend that money to live here."

Jiang Ning said, "It is also very important to eat what you eat during postpartum recovery, and the nanny and confinement nanny don't understand that."

Feng Yu said: "Just hire a nutritionist."

Jiang Ning thought it made sense and nodded.

Feng Yu said: "In fact, I feel that it is all caused by comparison, just like asking for a betrothal gift when getting married. When you see others go to a confinement center after giving birth, they praise the confinement center to the skies, saying this is good and that is good. If you don't stay in a confinement center after giving birth, you will feel that you will be looked down upon. What kind of atmosphere is this? I always feel that someone is deliberately leading you in this way."

"That's no need to say it!"

Jiang Ning said: "Without capital operating behind it, an industry cannot suddenly become popular. In fact, to put it bluntly, the ones who are cut off are those who are neither rich nor poor. Who among the truly rich people would go to a confinement center? It is so convenient at home."

Feng Yushen agreed: "Anyway, I definitely won't go."

Jiang Ning said, "There are still more than three months until the due date. We need to prepare early. Where to give birth, how to spend the confinement period, how many nannies and nurses to hire, all of these need to be prepared in advance so that we don't rush when the time comes."

Feng Yu had obviously thought about it: "It's fine to give birth in a traditional Chinese medicine hospital. The conditions in a traditional Chinese medicine hospital are pretty good."

Jiang Ning said, "I'm not confident about the level of doctors at the Chinese Medicine Hospital. How about going to the city to give birth?"

Feng Yu said, "Why go to the city? You have to come back after giving birth. It's not enough trouble. Didn't my sister-in-law give birth smoothly? It's just giving birth to a child, not a major operation. I think it's fine. I won't go to the city."

Jiang Ning said, "Then find a skilled doctor from the provincial capital. Caesarean section is no joke. Anyway, I don't trust those second-rate surgeons at the Chinese medicine hospital. Either go to the city or provincial capital, or ask a doctor to come over."

Feng Yu said: "Look, I don't want to go to the city or the provincial capital anyway."

Jiang Ning nodded, thinking about contacting Luo Bing later.

I have to ask Luo Bing for help with this matter.

After a detour, I returned to the alley where I parked my car.

When he arrived in front of the car, Jiang Ning was dumbfounded.

Feng Xue was surprised: "Why is the rear tire flat?"

Jiang Ning shook his head: "I don't know, it was fine when I just parked the car."

Feng Yu asked: "Did something get stuck in it?"

Jiang Ning didn't know either, so he squatted down and took a look.

I saw a hole in the left rear wheel. I didn't know what had pierced it. Then I looked at the right rear wheel. It was the same wound as the left rear wheel. It was obviously man-made and not caused by anything.

Feng Yu also saw it, and his mood instantly became bad: "Who is so mean!"

Jiang Ning said, "When I just parked my car, a woman came out of the nightclub and told me not to park there. She kept beeping for a long time. I think it was probably that woman who did it."

Feng Yu said: "This doesn't block their door, why can't they stop?"

Jiang Ning said, "There are unreasonable people everywhere. If you let them do this, they are all scoundrels. Now, although everyone pretends to be a serious businessman, their nature will not change. They are used to bullying the good and fearing the evil. The main reason is that their car is not good. If they were driving a G-Class today, those bastards would not dare to do such a stupid thing even if they had the guts."

Feng Yu was speechless: "What is going on?"

Jiang Ning took out his cell phone and said, "Call the police first and let them handle it."

After I made the call and waited for more than ten minutes, two people in green vests came.

I saw Jiang Ning and he was quite dissatisfied when I heard that it was him who called the police.

I looked at the punctured wheel again and was speechless.

Who would do such a stupid thing?

It's bad enough that he does bad things, but he doesn't even bother to choose his targets.

Why hit the stone when there are so many people to hit?

Jiang Ning talked about the dispute he had with a woman in the nightclub when parking the car.

After handing the matter over to the police, he left with Feng Yu.

I didn't call a car to pick me up, I just went to the roadside and took a taxi back to the farm.

The driver was not willing to go, "That place is too far, I will come back empty-handed."

Jiang Ning asked: "Is it not possible even if I pay more money?"

The driver said, "Give me twenty and I'll go."

Jiang Ning said: "Let's go!"

The driver then drove away and asked curiously, "Do you work at the Fairy Farm?"

Jiang Ning hummed.

The driver was immediately envious: "I heard that the salary at Xianling Farm is very high, more than 5,000 yuan a month, and there are festival bonuses during the holidays, year-end bonuses at the end of the year, and social security pensions. Is that true?"

Jiang Ning hummed again: "It's true."

The driver was so envious that he couldn't stop.

Jiang Ning asked, "What's there to envy about working? Isn't it nice to drive a taxi? I ​​heard you can earn more than 10,000 yuan a month."

The driver complained: "Where did I get more than 10,000 yuan? Almost every family has a car now. Who would take a taxi when going out? I get up early and work late to make 200 to 300 yuan a day. There is not much money left at the end of the month, and I bought the car myself. It's not as comfortable as your work. I heard that Xianling Farm takes care of everything, including food, drink, and toilet. You don't have to spend money on meals, and they give out benefits from time to time. You don't even have to buy food and drinks at home. The salary you earn is pure profit. It's a pity that they are not recruiting now, otherwise I would like to go to work."

Jiang Ning said: "There is no freedom even at work."

The driver said, "What kind of freedom do we need these days? We are lucky to be alive. Some people say we are all cattle and horses, but how can we live as comfortably as cattle and horses? Nowadays, cattle and horses no longer work, and they are well fed and well cared for. We are not like people like us, who have families waiting for food and dare not stop for a moment. I heard that the workers at the Fairy Farm no longer have intercourse. Is that true?"

Jiang Ning said: "If you pay for employee social security, you don't have to pay for medical treatment."

The driver was even more envious: "This is no different from working in a company."

Jiang Ning said, "The newly built farm in the county is also recruiting workers. If you want to work, why not go and try it?"

The driver chuckled and said, "I've already inquired about it. The new farm is different from the Xianling Farm. The salary is not high either. A welder only makes 5,000 yuan a month. Without some skills, it's 3,000 to 4,000 yuan. It's far worse than the Xianling Farm."

Jiang Ning smiled and said nothing more.

People only look at what is in front of them, there is nothing much to say about this.

When we arrived at the South Gate, we paid the fare and got off the bus.

The driver drove away without even looking back.

The security guard was surprised to see the boss and the old lady coming back in a taxi.

He hurried out to greet them.

Jiang Ning didn't call a taxi to pick him up, and walked back with Feng Yu.

It was already getting dark and there were no street lights on the farm road.

The shadows of the trees were swaying, and many rabbits ran onto the road. Their glowing eyes looked like ghost lights in the dark night. If you didn't know what was happening, you would be scared. But even though Feng Yu knew they were rabbits, he couldn't help feeling a little scared.

Holding Jiang Ning's arm tightly, he said, "It's really scary to walk in the woods at night."

Jiang Ning said: "There is no ghost, what are you afraid of?"

Feng Yu pinched him and said, "Stop talking nonsense."

Jiang Ning said: "Fear comes from the heart. Being afraid of darkness is human instinct. If you have ever slept among a pile of dead bodies, don't say ghosts don't exist. Even if ghosts really do exist, you dare to tell the ghosts to get as far away from you as possible."

Feng Yu laughed out loud: "You are so rude, don't say bad words."

Jiang Ning disagreed: "Everyone has several faces. When it's time to act like a gentleman, you have to be polite and act like a gentleman. When it's time to be down-to-earth, you have to curse. Who can pretend to be a gentleman all his life?"

Feng Yu said: "Where did you learn these twisted ideas?"

Jiang Ning said: "This is human nature, not a perverse logic. Those who pretend to be good people are not necessarily good people. Look at those who often appear on TV. Bad people are not necessarily really bad people. I am not a good person, but I can do good things, isn't it?"

Feng Yu thought for a long time: "Why did you start thinking about philosophy?"

Jiang Ning said: "The more you see and the more you know, the more you will naturally confirm your previous views. Just like two years ago, I thought there were no good people in the world, but now I think there are still good people, but they are just fewer. I often wonder whether I should be a good person or a bad person."

Feng Yu said: "Be a good person!"

Jiang Ning said: "Being a good person is too tiring, you have to pretend, being a bad person is much easier."

Feng Yu said: "Then it's neither good nor bad."

Jiang Ning praised him highly: "Your suggestion is good. It is neither good nor bad and it really suits me."

The young couple talked as they walked back slowly.

Halfway through the journey, Feng Yu said, "I can't walk anymore."

Jiang Ning squatted down: "I'll carry you."

Feng Yu lay on his back and let him carry her.

It took forty minutes to get back to the villa.

It was already dark.

The next day, Jiang Ning went to the city.

By the way, I visited Nanwan Forest Farm.

On Monday, Feng Yu drove a G-Class to work.

The tire of the Toyota was punctured, and the bad guy has not been found yet.

There were no cameras in that alley, and the police tried many ways to find the bad guy but failed. There were no witnesses, or maybe there were but no one wanted to cause trouble. In short, it was very difficult to deal with. The police station called Jiang Ning, but there was really nothing they could do.

Jiang Ning understood that the police act based on evidence.

We cannot convict anyone without evidence.

Have you ever been afraid to say it before?

But now under Boss Lu’s rule, this kind of thing is not allowed.

Jiang Ning doesn't need the institute to do this kind of thing. He has plenty of ways to solve this little thing.

Call Boss Wang and say, "Boss Wang, please help me with something."

Boss Wang patted his chest loudly: "Boss Jiang, just tell me what you want. Even if you want me to blow up a bunker, I will definitely do it for you."

Jiang Ning laughed out loud: "What are you talking about? Don't talk nonsense, it's just a small matter..."
