The Spring Festival of 1980 was the third Spring Festival that Zhou Chen had celebrated since he came to this era.
Winter in the Northeast is still very cold, but the cold in the north is different from the cold in the south.
The air in the north has less water content and lower humidity, while the air in the south has more water content and higher humidity. Therefore, the cold in the north is dry cold, while the cold in the south is wet and cold. At the same temperature, wet and cold will make people feel more comfortable than dry and cold.
cold.
To describe it as a joke decades later, the cold in the north is a physical attack, while the cold in the south is a magical attack. Magical attacks are often more deadly than physical attacks.
However, for Zhou Chen's physical condition, it doesn't matter whether it's cold in the north or in the south, as long as he wears normal clothes.
It happened to be during the Chinese New Year this year, and it was their turn to rest again. Zhou Chen was still celebrating the Chinese New Year alone this year, but he had all the things he needed to buy for the New Year.
Loneliness is loneliness, but the atmosphere and rituals should still be there.
Ma Kui and Wang Xin also asked Zhou Chen to go to dinner, but Zhou Chen refused. Again, he still wanted to spend the New Year at his own home, even if he was a little lonely.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, every household in the compound began to visit to pay New Year greetings. Zhou Chen also followed the trend and went to the closest families to pay New Year greetings, and finally went to Ma's house.
"Zhou Chen is here, happy New Year, happy New Year, come in quickly, come in quickly, Yan'er, go get melon seeds and peanut candies."
When Wang Sufang saw Zhou Chen coming to pay New Year's greetings, she was very happy and loudly asked Ma Yan to get her things. Then Ma Kui also came over.
"Zhou Chen, happy New Year. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year and New Year's Eve. If you don't come for dinner, you have to stay and have a drink with me at noon today."
Zhou Chen responded with a smile: "Happy New Year to Uncle Ma. You don't need to tell me. I specially chose to come to you last, just so that I can have something good to eat at noon and have someone to drink with me, hahaha."
"Ha ha……"
Ma Kui also laughed and hurriedly asked Zhou Chen to sit down. At this time, Ma Yan also came over with peanuts and melon seeds.
"Happy New Year, eat some peanuts and melon seeds."
"Thank you. Happy New Year to you too."
Zhou Chen talked with Ma Kui, but as time went by, he found that Ma Kui was a little distracted. Not only him, but Ma Yan also walked to the door and looked around from time to time.
He immediately understood that Ma Kui was waiting for his apprentice Wang Xin to come to visit him for New Year greetings, but it was almost noon and Wang Xin was still nowhere to be seen, so Ma Kui couldn't sit still.
"Uncle Ma, are you waiting for Wang Xin?"
Ma Kui's face changed slightly, but he still forced himself to defend himself and said: "Why are you waiting for him? I didn't wait for him. Sufang, let's cook. Make a few more dishes today. I want to have a good meal with Xiao Zhou."
"Okay, you guys sit down first, you'll be ready soon."
Ma Jian has already learned to walk, but when he is less than two years old, he walks unsteadily and wears chubby clothes, like a little penguin, which is very cute.
"Come on, Ma Jian, come to daddy."
Although Ma Jian was not Ma Kui's biological son, he was overjoyed to have such a son at the age of forty, even though he was not his biological son.
Ma Jian slowly walked up to Ma Kui, who picked him up with a big smile and put him on his lap.
"Xiao Zhou, I heard from your aunt that someone has helped you introduce a partner again, why don't you look at each other?"
"No, Uncle Ma, when did you start to care about this kind of thing?"
Zhou Chen had a wry smile on his face. Sometimes neighbors are too enthusiastic, which is not always a good thing. Just like this, he has never stopped introducing people to him in the past two years. Not only people from this hospital want to help him introduce them, but also people from other courtyards want to help him introduce them.
People have also looked for him.
He also knew the reason. It was just that many people felt that since he became a police sergeant at a young age, he would have a bright future and be a high-quality stock, so they were vying to help him find a partner.
The people you introduce these days are different from those a few decades ago. If they succeed, the person you introduce can get a lot of benefits. Not only free food and drink, but also red envelopes and a lot of stuff. If you meet a generous person, you can also get a lot of benefits.
It's a lot of money, which is one of the reasons why many women like to do this kind of thing.
Now it's good, even Ma Kui, who never likes to meddle in other people's business, actually brought up this issue.
Ma Kui smiled and said: "Although you are my leader, I can still be regarded as your elder in terms of seniority. You are alone in your family now. Many things at home are inconvenient. You are not young now. It's time
I need to find a woman to help me. I was already married when I was your age."
Zhou Chen just smiled. He has been married many times. He is much less persistent than young people of the same age in this regard. He still likes the person he chose compared to the person he introduced. To be precise, he still likes him more.
Take the initiative yourself.
After dropping the topic, Wang Xin still hadn't shown up during lunch. Not to mention Ma Kui, even Zhou Chen felt that he needed to be dealt with, not to mention Ma Kui, for his unreliable behavior.
Masters and apprentices these days are different from those a few decades ago, especially in the police profession, which pays more attention to the relationship between masters and apprentices.
If Wang Xin was far away and didn't come to pay New Year's greetings, it would be justifiable. But the problem is that Wang Xin and Ma Kui live in the same compound, just a few steps away from each other. As a result, they didn't come to pay New Year's greetings all morning. This kind of behavior says
What doesn't sound good is that he simply disrespects his teachers and deliberately doesn't come to visit him for New Year greetings. No wonder Ma Kui is so dissatisfied.
Ma Kuiming has always been unkind to Wang Xin on the surface, but in fact he cares about Wang Xin very much and truly regards him as his apprentice. During this critical Spring Festival, Wang Xin did not come to pay him New Year's greetings. He was disappointed in his heart.
Just imagine.
Ma Kui had something on his mind, so he drank heavily with Zhou Chen, drinking one cup after another. In the end, they both passed out. With the support of Wang Sufang and Ma Yan, they went back to the house and fell asleep.
Zhou Chen was naturally fine, but he also felt sorry for the master and disciple Ma Kui and Wang Xin. The master and disciple, the two families, really had a clear grudge and could never be separated.
Wang Xin slept until the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, then got up in confusion under Ma Yan's angry scolding, and then went to Ma's house in a panic, but unfortunately, he was scolded by Lao Ma, and was kicked out in great depression.
Go to Ma's house.
…………
Time flies, and several months pass in the blink of an eye. Summer passes and autumn comes, and Zhou Chen continues to work as a police officer as always.
So far, he has been working as a police officer for three years. As long as he continues to work for two more years, he will be able to complete the side tasks issued by the system.
After a few months, Ma Kui and Wang Xin still had good and bad relations. They often quarreled, and Wang Xin was frequently scolded by Ma Kui.
But Wang Xin is a very honest person, and maybe he is used to being scolded. Now, no matter what Ma Kui says about him, he doesn't take it seriously at all. He is very tolerant, but he is still as dishonest as ever.
Zhou Chen came to the pool with a basin of clothes. Sister-in-law Wu happened to be washing clothes by the pool. When she saw Zhou Chen coming, she immediately became happy.
"Hey, Xiao Zhou, come and do the laundry."
"Well, Sister-in-law Wu is busy."
Sister-in-law Wu, who was still washing clothes, stopped washing clothes and turned to Zhou Chen and said: "Xiao Zhou, I'm not talking about you. Look at our compound, there are several gentlemen washing clothes. You,
It’s time to get a wife. Once you have a wife, you don’t have to worry about things inside and outside the home. You can just go to work and make money.”
"Sister-in-law Wu, I find that no matter what I do, you can always involve me in finding a wife."
"Sister-in-law, you are really concerned about you. Look at you. You are handsome, and you are working in a good company. You are still a police sergeant. You will have a bright future in the future. What you need most now is a good wife. Besides, you are not too young.
, if you don’t find a wife, it will be difficult to find one in a few years.”
Sister-in-law Wu looked like she was working hard for you: "Old Wu has a relative over there. There is a pretty girl. Although she does not have a formal job, she is dependable and hard-working. If you can
Together, you will definitely enjoy happiness."
Zhou Chen smiled slightly and said softly: "I will think about this matter and wash the clothes first."
"What else do you need to consider? As long as you say a word, the child will come to meet you tomorrow. He is only eighteen years old. He has a very distinctive appearance, is very juicy, has very white skin, and has a very good personality..."
Sister-in-law Wu had a lot of special features on her face, which made Zhou Chen's ears buzz, but he had never done anything. With Sister-in-law Wu talking like a monk, he calmly washed his clothes.
"..."
Suddenly, Niu Dali came over carrying Yao Yuling on his back. When he saw Sister-in-law Wu and Zhou Chen, he immediately shouted loudly: "Oh, Sister-in-law Wu, they are washing the clothes. Oh my god, isn't this Zhou Chen? You can also wash the clothes yourself."
ah?"
Zhou Chen glanced at him lightly: "I won't wash it myself, why don't you wash it for me?"
"Ha ha……"
Sister-in-law Wu turned her head and asked in surprise: "What's wrong with Xiao Yao?"
Niu Dali was waiting to ask this question and immediately replied: "She's stuck."
Sister-in-law Wu asked with concern: "Where is the card?"
"On the avenue."
"Why is it stuck?"
"I fell down and got stuck..."
"…………"
Listening to Niu Dali's boastful chat with Mrs. Wu, Yao Yuling lowered her head and wished she could teleport back to the house. She really couldn't afford to lose this person.
"…………"
Niu Dali walked very slowly, talking to everyone he met, and kept talking all the way. He wanted everyone to see him carrying Yao Yuling on his back, and he also wanted everyone to know that Yao Yuling was stuck.
Sister-in-law Wu looked at their backs and said to Zhou Chen: "Look, look, Xiao Zhou, I'm not telling you, there's no way you can do this with such force."
Zhou Chen rubbed his clothes and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law Wu can see this?"
Sister-in-law Wu said with a proud look on her face: "It goes without saying that Dali is good, but who is Xiao Yao? She has high standards. She looks down on Dali."
"maybe."
"Xiao Zhou, I'm not saying that among the young people in our compound, you are the one with the best conditions. You..."
"Sister-in-law Wu, I've finished washing. There's soup simmering in the house. I'm going back first."
Sister-in-law Wu looked up at the sky and muttered: "The sun is so hot, what kind of soup are you making?"
Zhou Chen returned to his room and looked at the chicken soup simmering on the stove. It was still early. He really didn't lie to Sister Wu, he really made chicken soup.
In this day and age, it is not easy to have a good meal. Fortunately, I have improved my cooking skills in the past few worlds, and I am quite comfortable cooking.
He came to Ma Kui's house and handed the written prescription to Ma Kui.
"Uncle Ma, I changed Auntie's prescription and changed a few ingredients. From now on, I will boil the medicine according to this prescription."
Ma Kui took it solemnly and asked nervously: "Why do we need to change the dressing? Is there something wrong with Sufang's body?"
Zhou Chen said with a smile: "That's not the case, just to match the prescription of acupuncture, the human body is always changeable, especially the patient's body. It is normal to change a few medicines in a timely manner. My aunt's body is pretty well maintained. As long as
If you take good care of it in the future, it should be fine in a few years. Of course, the most important thing is to maintain your mentality."
Ma Kui breathed a sigh of relief, as long as everything was fine. His wife's illness was his biggest worry all along.
In the past two years, in order to maintain nutrition for Wang Sufang and take medicine on time, he and Ma Yan basically had no money left over, so their family's living burden was actually quite heavy.
Fortunately, the cost of raising children is not high now. Otherwise, with a gold-eating beast like Ma Jian, their family may not be able to afford it.
So Ma Kui has always been grateful to Zhou Chen, because Zhou Chen helped Wang Sufang treat her illness without asking for a penny, and they even bought the medicine themselves.
If it weren't for Zhou Chen, their family really couldn't afford Wang Sufang's treatment in the hospital. He didn't say anything, but their family regarded Zhou Chen as their benefactor.
There was even one time when Ma Kui and Zhou Chen drank too much and insisted on bringing Zhou Chen and Ma Yan together. At that time, Zhou Chen and Ma Yan were shocked. For a long time, Ma Yan was like Zhou Chen when she saw him.
Extremely embarrassed.
Winter turned to spring, and another year passed, and the time came to 1981. This was also Zhou Chen's fourth year in the police force.
On this day, Zhou Chen was called to the office by Captain Hu.
Arriving at the office, Zhou Chen met Captain Hu and another acquaintance.
"Team Hu, Captain Jiang."
"Xiao Zhou is here, come here quickly."
Captain Hu greeted Zhou Chen very warmly, then pointed at Captain Jiang next to him and said, "Captain Jiang came here specifically to find you today."
Zhou Chen looked at Captain Jiang: "Captain Jiang."
Captain Jiang said with a smile: "I came to see you because I want to transfer you to our criminal investigation team. What do you think? Are you willing?"
Zhou Chen shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Captain Jiang, I have no idea of transferring from the police force yet."
Captain Jiang said dissatisfiedly: "What's wrong with you, a young man? You are young, capable, smart, and skilled. The Criminal Investigation Brigade is the most suitable for you. What future can you have if you stay in the police force?"
"Ahem."
Captain Hu couldn't help coughing twice, and retorted dissatisfiedly: "Why is there no future for the police force? Xiao Zhou is now the captain of the police force. He has repeatedly solved cases in the past few years. In a few years, he might be able to join me.
position, why don’t you have a better future than your Criminal Investigation Team?”
Captain Jiang rolled his eyes: "You know what I mean, this isn't the first time I've invited him, but this guy is so good, he refuses every time. Sometimes I really wonder if you don't want to let him go on purpose."
The two captains obviously had a good relationship and started teasing each other.
"Okay, Lao Jiang, stop talking about this. Xiao Zhou is smart, tell me your purpose quickly."
Team Jiang nodded, and then said to Zhou Chen with a serious face: "Zhou Chen, I came to the police this time because I have a very important matter. Some time ago, there was a group of drug criminals transporting drugs through the railway line...
"
After listening to Team Jiang's narration, Zhou Chen knew what was going on. It turned out to be a very important drug trafficking case. The criminal investigation team had limited manpower and wanted to transfer people from the police team, because the police team was on duty on the train all year round.
He must have a deeper understanding of railway lines than they do, and it would be easier to solve the case with professional help.
