() On December 24, 1994, I received a notice: Report to the Jiangnan Police Station! I finally officially went to work! The haze of several months was gone, and I was very happy mentally.

After I went to work on December 20, Director Wu of the Political Department called me to the office again.

After closing the door and asking me to sit down, Director Wu spoke:

"Xiao Li, how are you getting along with Fangfang recently?"

"Fortunately, we have the same views on many issues." I said.

"Fangfang is a very good child. I watched her grow up. She has a gentle personality, is prudent in dealing with things, and is well-educated. You must cherish her." Director Wu reminded her.

"I will take care of it carefully. Thank you, Director Wu." I answered.

"How long have you been at the Political Department?" he asked, looking at me, obviously changing the subject.

"Report to the director, it's been three months and fifteen days." I answered accurately.

"Seeing that you have been working in the Political Department for such a long time, let me tell you in advance that you students who have returned from the public security school will be assigned soon. I think you are a smart person, have a good academic background, and are serious and responsible in your work.

Yes, I won an award for my essay, do you want to stay in the Political Department?" Director Wu looked into my eyes and asked.

The Political Department just writes articles and stuff. Sitting in the office reading newspapers is boring to death. Besides, the police officers in the office are all older people and they don’t have anything in common with me. I

I don’t want to stay here! Then wouldn’t my several years of formal study be in vain?

For this reason, I thought for a while and said: "Director Wu, thank you, I still want to do torture."

"It's not easy to get into the criminal police team. It's a place filled with talented people." Director Wu shook his head and pinched his neck. I knew he had neck discomfort from sitting in the office too much.

"Then you can go to the police station to be tortured." I settled for the next best thing.

"Why don't you ask Fangfang or Secretary Liu for his opinion?" Director Wu said.

"No, I want to go to the police station below to exercise. Aren't my senior brothers who came back in the past two years all at the police station below?" I answered.

After understanding my attitude, Director Wu no longer insisted.

"Then I suggest you go to a first-class police station. There are many things going on there, and that's where you can make your best use."

In this way, I was sent to Jiangnan Police Station.

Jiangnan Police Station sent Deputy Director Jiang to pick us up. It was a white sedan with a trunk, and the driver was Lao Yang.

I got on the police car with Azhu who was assigned to the Jiangnan Police Station, and the car quickly jogged on the road back to the police station. Although it was said to be running on the provincial highway, the road was very difficult to walk, and there were often traffic jams.

After two or three hours of jolting around, we finally arrived at the police station.

The police station is located on the east side of the highway. As soon as you enter the courtyard, you will see a large courtyard. There is a short house in the southwest corner, which is the duty room. The other areas are surrounded by six to seventy centimeters of short shrubs to form a green belt, which is very trimmed.

It's neat and tidy, with two basketball hoops at the north and south ends. The venue is quite spacious and tidy. To the east is a three-and-a-half-story building with a frosted exterior and a tall iron tower on the roof. I know it's a hand-held stand.

To the east of the building is a canteen, a small courtyard, and a wall. Outside the wall is a weaving factory. The machines roar from morning to night every day, and the sound is in your ears. You run back and forth. It was noisy when you first arrived.

I couldn't sleep because the sound was so loud that I couldn't stand it. I didn't dare to open the doors and windows of the weaving factory. Then I gradually got used to it. One night I couldn't sleep. I just felt something was wrong. Only later did I realize that

The weaving factory did not start work that night. I went there the next day and asked about it. The results were not good and the work was stopped.

Azhu and I were both arranged on the top floor, that is, the third floor. The dormitory door faced the door. Each person had a three-bedroom, one-living room with a kitchen and a bathroom. It was spacious, but there was nothing inside. Looking at the house,

Only then did I understand what it meant to live in a house with only four walls. I had to start from scratch. It didn’t matter anyway. I ate in the canteen and didn’t open the fire to cook. I had to settle in first. I found a bed board and two wooden stools. I put the wooden stools first and then

The bed board is laid out. The bed board is surrounded by a wooden frame and the inside is made of brown rope. There is no mattress or anything, so just put on the quilt and it becomes a place to sleep.

There was a reception banquet in the evening, hosted by the town education group. Deputy Director Jiang told us about this in the car and reminded us that we must have good relations with other units.

I heard that two college student police officers came all of a sudden. The leader of the education team paid great attention to it and said that the first table guest could only be invited by their education team. Just like that, the two tables were gathered together. Director Jiang, Lao Yang and others were all

I attended and it was quite lively.

As soon as I arrived at the unit, someone was treating me to dinner. I was so happy that I started chatting with Hu Kanshen at the wine table. Seeing that I was quite active, Deputy Leader Zou of the Education Group squeezed in and sat down next to me, saying that he wanted to

Compete in drinking with me.

Although I usually drink some wine, the amount of alcohol is not very large; although I also drank four bottles of wine at the graduation party with the Eight Immortals, that was a special occasion; although as a referee, I have also seen two of my classmates compete with each other.

Each person ordered peanuts and drank half a bottle of white wine, but I was just a referee and did not drink. Although I also attended the banquet at Director Wu’s house, the banquet was in a good atmosphere and I drank a lot of wine; but I did not

People have tried hard to drink, but...how can I, a freshly debuted student, block the nearly 40-year-old deputy team leader Zou's advice to drink?

"Xiao Li, there is no one in the police station who doesn't know how to drink." Team Leader Zou said.

I smiled at him noncommittally.

"Come on, if you respect me, brother, let's have a double drink." Team Leader Zou started.

Two glasses of wine were poured into his stomach.

"We have drinking rules in Jiangnan Town. Three drinks is a courtesy." Team leader Zou spoke again, finishing one cup after another.

Three glasses of wine were poured into my stomach again.

"It's your turn to return the favor with three glasses of wine," Team Leader Zou reminded.

I immediately stood up, took three cups, and placed them in a line on the table in front of me. After I was done, I also placed three cups in front of Team Leader Zou, and then filled them all.

I lowered my head without using my hands, biting the cup with my teeth. Then I raised my head, raised my neck, and drank one glass of wine, then two glasses of wine, and then three glasses of wine. Then I sat down and looked at Team Leader Zou.

.

Everyone clapped their hands together and cheered, and a few people from the police station clapped even more vigorously and cheered loudly.

Hearing the cheers, everyone at the other table came over.

Team leader Zou also followed my example. After he finished drinking, everyone applauded.

"How do you drink next?" Team leader Zou obviously didn't expect me to attack like this, and he also became interested, which aroused his desire to fight.

Someone next to me immediately shouted out: "High mountains and flowing water! High mountains and flowing water!"

"What are mountains and flowing water?" I asked, I really didn't understand this.

"Watch me drink!" Team Leader Zou said. After speaking, he picked up two glasses and filled them with wine. He held the two glasses in his right hand, then slowly raised his hand, and the angle was slowly tilted.

, forming a situation of one high and one low. He put his mouth towards the lower cup, and then slowly continued to raise the cup. The wine slowly flowed from the high cup to the low cup, and then into the Zou group.

long mouth.

After he finished his wine, I said hello to everyone else, and then followed suit, picked up the glass and drank it slowly.

There was another burst of cheers. Someone shouted: "This is not enough. If you want to drink, just drink as high as seven stars."

"Seven stars are shining brightly, seven stars are shining brightly, do you dare?" Team Leader Zou stood up and looked at me, his face full of questions.

I shook my head. Team Leader Zou looked disappointed, and the people at the police station also said "Oh."

"Are you afraid?" Team Leader Zou said.

"You have so many different ways of drinking. I don't know how to drink this either," I said.

"What's wrong with this? I'd better drink first and you can just follow. How about that?"

"Okay, no problem." I answered.

Seven cups were arranged in a circle on the table, and the seven full cups of wine were placed there. Team leader Zou picked up one cup, raised it high, without spilling any wine, and drank it in one gulp, followed by

The second cup, the third cup...the seventh cup. Each cup bottomed out without a drop spilling out.

Everyone shouted loudly again.

I followed the example of the gourd and the gourd, but the wine did not overflow.

After I finished drinking, Team Leader Zou immediately took my hand and said, "Xiao Li, have a great time drinking with your little brother. If you have any problems in Jiangnan Town from now on, just ask me and I will help you settle it."

I also said frankly: "While I was at the police station, the town's education team's affairs were my business. I would never be embarrassed to think so highly of our education team." Later, I really did it and helped the education team a lot. This is another story.

.

When Team Leader Zou heard this, he was extremely moved and said loudly: "Waiter, bring me a bowl!"

The waiter immediately brought two large flower bowls and poured more than half a bowl of wine into each.

Everyone looked at us stupidly, and no one said anything.

We picked up the bowl at the same time, raised our necks, and went down with a slurping sound.

That one was spicy, that one was stomach-piercing, that one was uncomfortable, it was really uncomfortable. Fortunately, I managed to hold on.

After drinking, we hugged each other and shouted: "It's so refreshing! It's so refreshing!"

There was thunderous applause again.

None of us mentioned drinking anymore, nor did anyone around us.

The reception banquet ended with thunderous applause from everyone.

After riding in the car for several hours and drinking so much alcohol, I returned to the small nest I had just settled in at the police station. After I collapsed, I fell asleep.
Chapter completed!
