Three years passed unknowingly. Wang Gang, wearing a blue police uniform and holding a hat in his hand, walked into the railway compound and immediately attracted the attention of many people.
"Xiao Gang, why are you back?"
"Aunt Li, I graduated from the police academy. I just reported to the police force today and will officially go to work tomorrow." Wang Gang said with a smile.
"You graduated so soon! You look so handsome in this police uniform." Aunt Li said happily.
Aunt Cai, who was doing the laundry, also said: "Xiao Gang is already good-looking, but once he wears a uniform like this, I don't know how many little girls will be charmed by him in the future."
"Aunt Cai, is Xiaonian at home? I'll have a drink with him tonight." Wang Gang chatted.
"Unfortunately, Xiaonian is out of the car and is not at home. He won't be back for two days. If you go to the police force, maybe you and Xiaonian can get a car in the future." Aunt Cai said happily.
Wang Gang greeted other people in the yard, then returned to his home and drank a large glass of water first.
Wang Jianguo and Liu Shufang were both at work and had not yet returned home. Wang Gang took off his uniform, folded it, and changed into lighter clothes.
Seeing that it was still early, Wang Gang looked around in the kitchen and found that Liu Shufang had prepared a lot of dishes. Maybe he knew that he would be home in the past two days, so he prepared more dishes.
Wang Gang rolled up his sleeves and started washing rice and cooking, preparing for a good meal for the family of three.
In the past three years, Wang Gang has spent most of his time training at the Railway Police School. He can only go home one day a month and spend less time with his parents. Sometimes he happens to catch Wang Jianguo out on the train, and it may take half a year before the family can be reunited.
It will be fine in the future. He has graduated and is ranked first in his grade. He has been assigned to the police force at Ningyang Station. He will spend more time with his family in the future.
In fact, based on his performance, he could be assigned to the criminal police force, but Wang Jianguo felt that being a criminal police officer was too dangerous and refused to let him go. Wang just had no choice but to join the police force.
It happened that Captain Hu of the Ningyang Station Police Team was an old friend of Wang Jianguo. It was because of Captain Hu's relationship that Wang Gang was able to attend the Railway Police School.
Of course, Wang Gang didn't use the back door. Captain Hu just reminded him of the things he should pay attention to when taking the police academy. Wang Gang finally got into the police academy based on his true talent and practical knowledge, and he ranked first among the students every year. Regardless of the written examination or the physical examination, he broke the school's standards.
Record.
Wang Gang had been busy for an hour, making three dishes and one soup. Seeing that it was almost time for Liu Shufang to get off work, he thought about picking up his mother at the train station and giving her a surprise.
At this time, the voice of Wang Xin's father, Wang Yongge, came from the gate.
?"Is Xiaogang back?"
Wang just wiped his hands and walked out of the kitchen, and then saw Wang Yongge standing at the door without walking in.
Residents in the compound rarely lock their doors, and everyone enters the door very casually. Most of them rush in after being notified. Only Wang Yongge is different. He will not enter the house without the owner's permission.
"Uncle Wang, are you off work? I'm about to look for you." Wang Gang said with a smile, "Come in and sit down."
Wang Yongge smiled and said: "I'm not coming in. I came here just to ask if that boy Wang Xin brought me a letter."
"Yes, please wait a moment. I'll go in and get it." Wang Gang walked into the back room, took out a letter and handed it to Wang Yongge.
"Xiao Gang, please excuse me." Wang Yongge took the letter and said with a smile: "How is that boy Wang Xin doing in the police academy? Did he do any naughty things?"
Wang Xin was also admitted to the police academy last year and became Wang Gang's apprentice. The two would get together when they had free time. Wang Xin would sometimes ask Wang Gang to bring letters to his father, Wang Yongge.
Wang Gang said to Wang Yongge: "Wang Xin is pretty good. I heard from the instructor that he is very good, especially in shooting."
When Wang Yongge heard this, he almost smiled.
Wang Xin's mother died young, and it was not easy for Wang Yongge, a man, to raise his children as both father and mother.
Originally, the people at the hospital wanted to introduce him to another one, but he was worried that his stepmother would not treat Wang Xin well, so he never renewed their relationship.
Otherwise, given Wang Yongge's conditions, it would be very easy for him to remarry.
"Xiao Gang, I made bone soup today and will give you a portion later."
"You're welcome, it's just a little effort." Wang Gang said politely: "Our family also stewed meat today. When it's ready, Uncle Wang can try my cooking."
Most of the residents in the railway compound work in the railway bureau. They have different divisions of labor and closeness, but overall they are harmonious. It is common for everyone to exchange dishes at every meal.
Because the Wang family has a doctor, everyone who has a headache or fever likes to see Liu Shufang for treatment, so they have a good relationship with every family.
When Liu Shufang rode home from get off work, Wang Yongge and Wang Gang were still standing at the door talking about the police academy.
"Shufang is back! Then I won't disturb you. Xiaogang will come home later to serve bone soup." Wang Yongge greeted Liu Shufang and then returned to his home.
Liu Shufang was very happy to see her son back. She parked her bicycle and gave Wang Gang a hug.
"Xiao Gang, your dad came back from Harbin today. We are waiting for him to have dinner together." Liu Shufang put down her bag and said:
"You will have to go to work in the future, so you can take my bicycle and ride it."
"No, the police team is not far from home. I can just walk to work." Wang Gang shook his head and said, "Mom, you have to go to the clinic now, so it's easier to ride a bicycle."
Now that the chaos is over, Liu Shufang has gradually lost her scruples about seeing a doctor, and sometimes treats people outside the courtyard. After becoming famous, the living conditions at home have become better.
"Mom, last time you wrote a letter saying that the city's Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital wanted to recruit you to work there, is there any news?" Wang Gang poured a glass of water for Liu Shufang and asked.
"That's almost it. I can go to work at the city's Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital next month." Liu Shufang said happily:
"Thanks to your grandpa, otherwise it wouldn't have gone so smoothly."
Wang Gang's grandfather and two uncles returned to the city three months ago, and their old house was also returned.
Wang Gang's grandfather was originally a great player. As soon as he returned to the city, he was hired by the city's Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, and his two uncles were also transferred to other hospitals. It was a blessing in disguise.
The only pity is that my aunt couldn't bear it and divorced her uncle. Liu Shufang is currently planning a blind date for her brother.
"Xiaogang, you are now old enough. You are going to work again soon, and you can also start thinking about life-long events. There are many young girls in the hospital, why don't you think about it."
"Mom, don't worry about me. I'm only eighteen and not under the legal age for marriage, so don't worry." Wang Gang said speechlessly: "You'd better introduce your partner to my uncle first!"
"Eighteen is not a young age. I thought I would marry your father when I was eighteen." Liu Shufang smiled and said, "I tell you! There are many young and beautiful nurses in the hospital where your uncle works."
Wang Gang has black lines all over his head, and he can't do anything about his enthusiastic mother. He is only eighteen years old, and he really doesn't want to date someone now.
"Aunt Liu, are you at home?" A female voice came to Wang Gang's rescue.
Liu Shufang and Wang Gang looked at the door at the same time. A girl of seventeen or eighteen years old was standing at the door. The sunset was shining on her, making Wang Gang unconsciously squint his eyes.
"Little Yao is here, come in and sit down." Liu Shufang seemed to know the girl and greeted her warmly.
"Aunt Liu, I'm sorry to bother you again." The girl walked into the room and was slightly startled when she saw Wang Gang.
Liu Shufang introduced: "This is my son Wang Gang, and this is Xiao Yao. Yao Yuling, the broadcaster who has just been assigned to our compound, lives in the dormitory on the second floor of the east building."
Wang Gang stood up, stretched out his right hand and said, "Nice to meet you, Comrade Yao."
Yao Yuling blushed and felt a little shy, but she still stretched out her right hand and shook it with Wang Gang.
