() Chapter 10 My father-in-law

The pickpocketing case should be over for the time being. Once I put aside the work, I have to plan my personal affairs. Visiting the door is a big deal, so I can't be careless at all. Every detail must be finalized in advance. I don't want the embarrassing incident last year to happen again.

.

On the last Saturday before the Lunar New Year, that is, the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month (February 10, 1996), I made a special trip back to the county town to discuss the official visit.

My mother-in-law was very happy to see me coming home, and ran to the market to buy vegetables.

Dinner in the evening, on the dining table.

"Dad, Mom, when do you think it would be better to come to our house to recognize our bride?" I took the initiative to ask the question.

"You can just go back and ask your mother about this question. I will take your family as the main one." said the mother-in-law.

"I asked my mother, and my parents said it's mainly your place. They said the customs in the city are different from those in the countryside, and everything depends on the city." I explained.

"Your parents are really sensible. Well, Lao Ke and Fang, what do you think is good for you?" Mother-in-law asked her father-in-law, Wanfang, for his opinion.

"You can make the decision on this matter," said the father-in-law.

"It's still the first day of the Lunar New Year. Mom decided last time, so this time it's still the first day of the Lunar New Year." Wanfang said.

I was thinking to myself: Was it your mother who made the reservation last time? We were renting a house and it was your mother who made the reservation now?

Although I felt very strange, I casually said:

"Why is it the first day of the Lunar New Year again?"

My mother-in-law asked quickly, "Is there anything wrong with you on New Year's Day?"

"That's not true." I said, scratching my head.

"Oh, I understand. You came to my house on New Year's Day this year and brought fake wine, and you were worried that it was fake wine. Are you afraid?" Wanfang teased, and the bad guy looked at me.

"You kid, what are you talking about? A Liu didn't do it on purpose." Mother-in-law scolded.

Wanfang knew what I was thinking, and it seemed that my time with her was not in vain. However, Wanfang revealed her thoughts with just one word, and I immediately blushed.

"Ah Liu, good son, don't be afraid of this. Doesn't Wanfang work in the Commerce Bureau? Whatever we buy, we have to go to her workplace to buy it. Isn't that enough?" My mother-in-law saw my blushing face and hurriedly came to the rescue.

.

I nodded and asked a new question: "My mother said that this is a door-to-door identification. It is the custom here to ask for your opinion on what to take."

"Just take whatever you want, just take whatever you want. You just started working, so we can understand. Just take whatever you want." My mother-in-law is very understanding.

I was anxious and said quickly:

"That won't work, my mother said, everything must be the same as in the city, not a single thing is missing!"

"Is it necessary for my in-laws to be so polite?" Mother-in-law asked, nodding.

I nodded heavily.

"Then get some cigarettes, some wine, and some candy." Mother-in-law said.

"My mother said we still need to get money. This one must get money." She became even more anxious.

"Haha, seeing as you are in a hurry, forget about the money." Mother-in-law said.

"I don't think you need to take money." Wanfang also said.

"This must be taken, this must be taken, my mother said, this matter must not break the rules." I became even more anxious.

"Since your mother is so determined, let's get two thousand yuan." The mother-in-law finally settled on the gift.

"I'll discuss this with my parents when I get home." I gave myself room for maneuver.

"Have you made everything clear? Can we eat now?" Mother-in-law asked cheerfully.

I nodded.

"My great hero is finally coming to recognize his bride, and I want to celebrate with a drink." Wanfang said.

"Okay, okay, my girl will do whatever she says. Mom has already made you the main one." Mother-in-law continued to say cheerfully.

Wanfang and I both blushed.

Then, everyone started drinking, and while they were drinking, seeing that all the important matters concerning the visit had been discussed, my father-in-law changed the subject and asked me about my work.

"Recently, we arrested three people and solved a pickpocketing case. Now, there are no pickpocketing cases in our jurisdiction." I said.

Father-in-law suddenly became interested and asked:

"No more pickpockets?"

I nodded.

"It's amazing, you are amazing. I heard that pickpocketing cases are the most difficult to eradicate, but you don't report pickpocketing cases now." My father-in-law admired.

"I can only say that we won't publish such cases for the time being. I don't know what will happen in the future?" I answered truthfully.

"Tell me, what do you do?" my father-in-law asked next.

"I mainly did two things.

The first is to capture the thief first and capture the king first. Once the ideological work of one of their little leaders has been cleared up, he and his men will no longer commit crimes in our jurisdiction. I also know that this is a method of driving them out, and it can only achieve the goal of driving them out.

For the time being, in order for everyone to have a peaceful New Year, I can only do this for the time being; in addition, I also use this little boss to send out words to warn others not to come to our jurisdiction to commit crimes. If they dare to come, we will

hit hard;

The second is to carry out crackdowns. Through personnel identification, we identified three perpetrators. Not long ago, we organized an operation and arrested all three members of this small gang. This is a great deterrent to pickpockets." I answered.

With.

"He has ideas, he has ideas. My son-in-law is really good. Come, let's have a drink. After finishing the wine, we can continue talking." After the father-in-law finished speaking, he raised his glass.

We all drank, and I quickly refilled the glass.

"How did you get through this little boss's thoughts?" My father-in-law asked in depth.

"After the big policy was determined, I used some tricks. His wife worked in the shop of the boss who had the biggest counterfeit liquor case in my previous case, and the salary was relatively low. I originally wanted to deal with that boss severely.

However, he had a good relationship with Secretary Wang of our town, and Ma Hefang greeted me again, so I dealt with him lightly. I went to the boss's shop and told him about it, and he readily agreed and returned the favor.

When he asked me how much the salary increase would be, I told him to decide for himself. Later, I heard that the salary increase was three hundred yuan, and the little boss and his wife were very happy. From then on, the little boss basically obeyed my words." I said.

The process was explained in one breath.

"Lao Liu, have you said hello in person?" The father-in-law looked at his mother-in-law, suddenly changed the topic, and his face became serious.

My heart immediately tightened, I regretted my talk, and was too frightened to say anything.

"Yes, Director Feng contacted me and said that A Liu and Secretary Wang had a quarrel and asked me to persuade A Liu to stop. I just asked Fang and A Liu to call and said that Secretary Wang was the elder and asked him to give way.

I ordered it, I really didn’t say anything else." My mother-in-law stuttered a little.

Wanfang also looked at her father-in-law nervously.

"Oh." My father-in-law softened his tone, and my heart dropped.

"Aliu, tell me what's going on." My father-in-law said to me again.

My heart was lifted again. I didn't know what to say and I was afraid that I would say the wrong thing. I looked at my mother-in-law and then at Wanfang.

"Aliu, my good son, don't be afraid. No matter what you do, dad will never blame you." My father-in-law encouraged me.

I had no choice but to tell my father-in-law the whole situation.

After hearing this, my father-in-law immediately said:

"Son, you did the right thing. Dad really did not misjudge you. You are a man with a very sense of justice and responsibility. We will leave Fang to you and we are relieved. Your mother is afraid that you have just joined the work and you are not

I did this because I suffered a loss due to experience. You have to understand your mother."

My heart slowly dropped from being mentioned. I was afraid that my father-in-law might have other problems, so I didn't dare to let go completely.

I nodded busily and kept nodding.

"Your mother chose you for Fang, she really has a good sense!" After the father-in-law finished speaking, he looked at his mother-in-law and raised his thumb.

"I chose you because I had a good vision." My mother-in-law said cheerfully.

We all laughed and the atmosphere became relaxed again.

After speaking, the mother-in-law continued:

"The child finally came back. Why are you asking this and that? You and the child are drinking." Mother-in-law reminded.

"Yes, yes, let's drink! Drink! My dear son, dad and I will have a double drink with you!" My father-in-law was so bold with me again and asked for a double drink.

How can I not drink? Two glasses of wine are enough.

My still hanging heart was finally relieved.

I filled up the wine, stood up, and said to my mother-in-law:

"Mom, thank you, I'll give you a toast!"

"You're still polite to Mom, kid." My mother-in-law said lovingly, picked up the wine glass happily, and drank the wine in one gulp very generously.

After watching me finish my drink and sit down, Wanfang spoke:

"I'm a great hero, what about me?"

"I like you! Let me toast you too!" I teased, and after I finished speaking, I drank it all.

My father-in-law, mother-in-law and I all laughed. Wanfang's face turned red. She picked up the cup and drank all the wine. Then she whispered in my ear, "I'll take care of you tonight!".

In the evening, Wanfang really took care of me, but she was also exhausted from taking care of me. We didn't get up until ten o'clock the next day. My father-in-law and mother-in-law were both out.

After washing up, we went to the street together to buy food and cook. When the meal was almost ready, my mother-in-law came home. She had the food in her hand. When she saw that we had finished the meal, her face lit up with joy. She was very happy.

said happily:

"Okay, my precious daughter and son can cook now, I'm just waiting to eat and enjoy myself."

"A Liu said that he talked too much last night and dad scolded you. Today I specially cooked a meal to accompany you as a gift." Wanfang said.

"It's okay, it's okay. I don't know much about your dad yet? He has a similar personality to A Liu, with a sense of justice and a sense of responsibility." Mother-in-law said cheerfully.
