Time flies, it is a new year, and the Spring Festival atmosphere in Ningyang City is getting stronger and stronger.
Wang Gang and Ma Kui came out of the criminal police team and rode their bicycles back to the railway compound.
They have been busy for a year, and finally they can take a few days off and have a good Spring Festival.
"Xiao Wang, come to my house on the first day of the new year. Mingjie and Xiaoli are also coming." Ma Kui rode his bicycle and said to Wang Gang.
"I may not be able to do it in the first year of junior high school. I have to go back to my grandpa's house. My aunt just gave birth to a son, and I haven't seen him yet." Wang Gang was confused.
"Then come on the second day of junior high school! Xiaoli will be at my house during the Chinese New Year this year." Ma Kui said with a smile:
"By the way, you can come home later to get something to send to your grandpa."
Wang Gang said politely: "Uncle Ma, you're welcome, you have already given a lot of things to my grandpa."
"That's right. Ma Jian was born only because your grandpa nursed Sufang back to health."
Ma Kui and Wang Sufang's son, Ma Jian, is almost two years old this year, but Wang Sufang still went through hell in order to give birth to this son. Fortunately, Wang Gang's grandpa took action, otherwise it would have been possible for him to die.
For this, Ma Kui was very grateful to Wang Gang and always felt that Wang Gang was a noble person in their family.
In the past two years, Ma Kui was transferred to the criminal police team to partner with Wang Gang. He took care of Wang Gang in everything, better than his own son.
The two cooperated closely, traveled all over the country, and solved many major and important cases. The reputation of the "Ningyang Two Tigers" spread throughout the criminal police circles in the three northeastern provinces.
Wang Gang had been in contact with Peng Yongli for several years and had already established a relationship. They were planning to wait for Peng Yongli to graduate from university before the two families arranged the marriage.
Peng Mingjie met Wang Jianguo and Liu Shufang, and both of them were very satisfied with their future in-laws.
Liu Shufang even wanted Wang Gang and Peng Yongli to get married as soon as possible, but Wang Gang refused. For this reason, mother and son did not speak to each other for several days.
Wang Gang is not dissatisfied with Peng Yongli, but has some concerns about his father-in-law Peng Mingjie.
When Ma Kui went to Harbin to visit Peng Mingjie, he saw someone giving him a gift.
Although Peng Mingjie later laughed and tried to pass him off, Wang Gang still felt uneasy, so he secretly investigated Peng Mingjie, and found out a big problem.
He, the future father-in-law, takes advantage of his authority to take advantage of others, so he is not clean at all.
Fortunately, his problem was not serious, and he only received small amounts of money each time. But Wang Gang knew that people's desires gradually expand. If you take small amounts of money today, you will definitely be greedy for big money in the future. If you don't stop him, Peng Mingjie will definitely have big problems.
If Peng Mingjie is arrested, Wang Gang will definitely be affected as his son-in-law, so he delays the marriage.
During the Chinese New Year this year, Peng Mingjie promised to spend time at Ma Kui's house and get together with his future in-laws. Wang Gang was already ready for a showdown. If Peng Mingjie didn't stop, he might use some tricks to force his father-in-law to resign.
Wang Gang and Ma Kui rode their bicycles back to the compound and found that many people had gathered in the yard.
"Xiao Wang, you came just in time. Niu Dali is back and he brought you a gift." Wu Changgui saw Wang Gang and stopped him.
"Niu Dali?" Wang Gang looked curiously into the crowd, and sure enough he saw a trendy and unusually dressed Niu Dali.
"Brother Wang." Niu Dali wore a pair of glasses and took the initiative to walk up to Wang Gang with steps like he didn't recognize his relatives.
Wang Gang looked Niu Dali up and down and said with a smile: "Niu Dali, you are really crazy!"
Niu Dali proudly said: "It's nothing, I just went to Guangzhou and made a little fortune."
Wu Changgui explained: "When Niu Dali was transferred to work as a coal shovel, he was not convinced. He resigned angrily and went south to Guangzhou to make a living. I thought he was impulsive at first, but I didn't expect him to actually break out."
Niu Dali took off his sunglasses and said proudly: "I am also lucky. I happened to catch up with the good times. Now the south is developing very fast. I can make a fortune in anything I do."
Wang Gang smiled and said: "You are returning home in glory, right?"
Niu Dali laughed and said: "When I made money, I remembered how everyone took care of me in the past, so I came back to repay your kindness. Brother Wang, I also brought you a pair of sunglasses."
Wang Gang declined: "I'll forget it. I didn't take care of you at all. Besides, I'm a public official and it's not convenient for me to accept gifts."
Niu Dali still doesn't know that Wang Gang had a share of "credit" when he moved out of the compound.
"It's just a pair of sunglasses, not worth much." Niu Dali said richly and arrogantly.
"Niu Dali, we appreciate your kindness, but we have discipline and cannot take advantage of the masses," Ma Kui said.
?"I didn't give you needles and thread, I gave you sunglasses." Niu Dali said.
?"That's not what you meant. Anyway, we can't take your things." Ma Kui said stubbornly.
Wang Gang and Ma Kui pushed their bicycles back home, and Niu Dali was still surrounded by everyone, as if everyone was applauding him, making his nose stick up with pride.
Later, Wang Xin also returned to the compound and met Niu Dali, and the two went to the tavern to have a drink with Cai Xiaonian.
Niu Dali also brought gifts to Wang Xin, but Wang Xin confiscated them.
The three of them drank and chatted about their lives in the past few years.
Niu Dali was working in the south and made some money. There was a hint of superiority in his conversation. Both Wang Xin and Cai Xiaonian felt that he had changed.
Cai Xiaonian has not changed over the years and is still working as a train conductor. He has already found a partner. The woman's family is similar to the Cai family. The two have reached the stage of marriage discussions and plan to get married after the Chinese New Year.
Wang Xin is still the same as before, working as a small policeman in the police force. Because of his father, although he keeps his job, he will never be promoted in his life.
"Wang Xin, you still live in the police dormitory!" Niu Dali said generously, "Would you like me to lend you some money to buy a house? As the old saying goes, a house means a family."
Wang Xin smiled and said, "No, I'm quite comfortable living in the dormitory."
Niu Dali said grandly: "Don't be polite to me, houses in Ningcheng are not expensive."
Cai Xiaonian frowned and said, "Dali, what kind of business are you doing in Guangzhou and how much money can you make in a month?"
Niu Dali stretched out two fingers and smiled slightly.
"Two hundred a month?" Cai Xiaonian guessed.
"It's two thousand." Niu Dali said proudly.
"So many." Cai Xiaonian opened his mouth wide, and even Wang Xin was surprised.
Niu Dali said: "There is gold all over there now. As long as you are willing to endure hardships, it is possible to earn 20,000 yuan a month, let alone 2,000 yuan."
Cai Xiaonian exclaimed: "My current monthly salary is only forty or fifty yuan. Even if I work for several years, it is still not as good as yours in one month!"
Niu Dali took a sip of wine and said to Cai Xiaonian and Wang Xin: "Times are different now. You should really go to the south to see it."
Cai Xiaonian asked: "Dali, what are you doing yet?"
Niu Dali smiled slightly unnaturally and said, "It's just a small business, not worth mentioning."
Wang Xin pulled Cai Xiaonian under the table and saw that Niu Dali didn't want to mention work.
"By the way, do you know where Xiao Yao is?" Niu Dali changed the subject.
"You are still thinking about Xiao Yao! She resigned around the same time as you, and I heard she went to Harbin with a man." Cai Xiaonian said.
"What, Xiao Yao is married?" Niu Dali said in surprise.
"Xiao Yao is in his twenties this year, so getting married is not normal." Cai Xiaonian said, "But you haven't found a partner in the south? Wang Xinke and I have both!"
?"Wang Xin, are you dating someone too? The other party doesn't mind that you have a murderer father." Niu Dali said without hesitation.
?Wang Xin’s face turned dark immediately.
Niu Dali reacted, slapped himself in the mouth and said, "Sorry, look at my bad mouth, I'll punish myself with a drink."
?Wang Xin had a dark face, but didn't say anything.
