"Brother, let's pull out some more cloth and I'll make you two half-length sleeves. It's getting hotter."
"Forget about the half sleeves. You don't know about the scar on my left arm. If you expose it, you can't scare others."
"That's a medal. It's an honor. It's what you paid for this country."
"Okay." Li Heng smiled and rubbed the little girl's head.
"I can just wear a shirt. I can buy you two dresses."
"I don't want to." The little girl shook her head numbly: "I don't like wearing skirts. I never wear skirts in our police uniforms."
After she said this, Li Heng realized that many policewomen had been wearing summer police uniforms in the past two days, with white uniforms on top and navy blue skirts on the bottom. However, Fang Xiaoya had always been wearing police uniform pants.
.
"Why don't you wear a skirt? It will make you cooler."
"Hey, I'm not used to it." The little girl said with a trace of sadness in her eyes.
Li Heng raised his eyebrows when he saw it. It seemed that this was also a sequelae of that year.
"Uh... did you get the food book?"
"Haha, let's go to the sales department and buy a new bottle."
This is the case now, and it won’t be the case a few decades from now. The New Year is just around the corner, and there are more pedestrians on the streets than usual, not to mention wet markets, supermarkets, and shopping malls.
"I don't believe it. I just said it casually, but you have been so cruel. When I have children, I will definitely not be as good as him."
How could Bingxue, who was so smart, not know what her man was thinking, and still comfort her with a smile.
"Okay, okay, I said the wrong thing, I promise not to fight."
Looking at the innocent smile on his wife's face next to him, Li Heng suddenly felt a little distressed. He reached out and grabbed the little girl's hand and squeezed it twice.
"I don't, why do you buy so many glass bottles at home? It's a waste of money and of no use. Let's go home and get some and push the car on the way."
"Maybe, I know someone will bully me in the future, and there's nothing you can do against him."
If possible, I need to find someone to redeem some cloth tickets. The adults will not talk about it. I have to make new clothes for the child at least.
"Oh, it's nothing. I just suddenly felt that working here seems pretty good. At least it's convenient to buy food at home."
"Hey, that's not the case. He's your son."
"Oh, you are so outrageous. I am his biological mother. Why are you beating my son?"
"I...if he dares to bully you, I will deal with him anyway."
"Hehe..." The little girl raised her eyebrows proudly, she knew it would be like this.
"Hiss...it hurts, it hurts, aren't I venting my anger on you?"
"Who is it? Let me tell you clearly first. There is absolutely nothing I can do about my father-in-law and mother-in-law."
Not to mention that everyone is greeted with a smile, at least there are no questions that can't be answered despite being asked ten times.
"Oh~ I can't, brother."
After saving their belongings for a year, ordinary people will buy all they can buy at once. This is enough for normal times, but they cannot save any more during the Chinese New Year. The oil has to be eaten, the vegetables have to be fried, and the dumplings have to be made.
It also has to be meat-filled dumplings.
"What's wrong, brother, what are you looking at?"
"Come on, I don't believe it. You don't look like a child spanker."
What Li Heng can't stand the most is his wife's coquettish behavior, especially her coquettish behavior with her voice raised. Whenever he hears her talking with her voice raised, the hair on his body will stand on end and sour water will come out of his mouth.
"Let's go buy rice, flour and oil first. We haven't bought the food for this month yet."
"Okay, okay, wife, you'd better talk nicely, I believe you can't do it."
Sunday is not just for doing these trivial household chores.
"Pfft...chuck..." Looking at her man's pitiful appearance, the little girl couldn't help laughing.
"Of course." Fang Xiaoya took out two grain books from her carry-on bag and showed them to her man like a treasure.
"Don't worry, brother, you are the most important in my heart."
"Then what are we going to do now? We can't just bask in the sun, right?"
"Hey brother..."
It seems that this has been the traditional concept of people for so many years. Even if after a few decades, the food they eat on a daily basis may be better than during the New Year, older people are still willing to prepare sufficient New Year's goods at home in the days before the New Year.
As a young couple, each of their monthly rations is fifteen kilograms, of which 30% is fine grains and the rest is coarse grains.
After buying this month's ration of food, Li Heng looked back at the door of the sales department. This sales department, which has been glorious for decades, may not have thought that he would disappear one day in the future.
"Girl, I promise that I will never let anyone bully you again."
"What's wrong?"
A grain and oil supply and marketing department serves the residents of this nearby area. The salespeople themselves also live here, and everyone looks down without looking up. In terms of service attitude, to be honest, it is much better than department stores.
"Then you can watch when the time comes. As long as he dares to bully you, I will beat him until he doesn't even recognize his own mother."
"Hmph~"
In the days leading up to the Chinese New Year, this place will be particularly busy, and the queue outside will start from the time it opens in the morning and continue until it closes in the evening.
"It's okay, brother, I'm already fine, aren't I?"
"Then let's go."
"At that time, my mother said she wanted to get me to work here, but when I thought about having to deal with other people all the time, I didn't agree. Later, I went to work as a civilian in the Public Security Bureau."
The amount of cooking oil is half a catty per person per month, and the amount of sesame oil is two taels.
"I want to ask you, do you believe that I killed several people just to grab some money?"
After purchasing one type, the salesperson will register it in the food book and stamp it with his or her private seal, and then get the next type for you.
Is this a natural skill for this woman to squeeze the soft flesh around a man's waist? How did she get the hang of it so quickly?
"Then you can't hit me so hard that you don't even recognize me."
Almost every household of ordinary people is like this.
"That's too cruel, wife. I don't even have a child yet. If you treat me like this, if you have children in the future, wouldn't it mean that I won't even have any status in this family?"
"I put it on when I went to my mother's place for dinner just now. Oops, I didn't take the oil bottle."
"Huh? Why do you think of it so well to ask this?"
"That's the suspect that Director Zeng and the others sent that day."
"I know, why, that man killed so many people, and he said it was to grab money?"
"Yes, he told Director Zeng the same thing as he told us in the Pre-Trial Section. He only admitted that he was trying to steal money. Even the policeman he killed later was also trying to steal money."
