Qin Shanhai said emotionally: " I am ashamed of what you said, when I was in school, the teacher asked me to write an essay, the title is my dream, I wrote that my dream is to be a scientist and contribute to the country, now I think about it is ridiculous, my dream now is to make my family live better, no longer worry about my livelihood, live with dignity and respect, my sister can marry a good family, my brother's illness can be cured, my father can happily play erhu and sing big operas, my mother can buy whatever she wants to eat and stop nagging, I want to be a man with my own chest, do something career, and make my family proud of me！”

Zhong Guotao picked up his wine glass and stood up: "There will be that day! I have full confidence in this, the sea, I wish we all realize our dreams." ”

Qin Shanhai also raised his glass and stood up: "It's done!"

"Bah!" the two of them drank down.

……

Qin Shanhai was in a good mood, because today was the day of salary, and last night he caught a few thieves who ran the mountains, and the leader attached great importance to it, praised it, and gave an extra bonus of two hundred yuan, plus a total of four hundred yuan in salary.

For Qin Shanhai, this four hundred yuan is not a small amount, and the family's monthly food and drink expenses are only two or three hundred yuan, which is the first salary in his life, which is more meaningful.

The police station recruited contract police, Qin Shanhai asked Director Liu to register, after passing the physical examination, after participating in the unified examination in the town, he had a bottom in his heart, and felt that his physical fitness and cultural class grades were good, and he should have a good chance of being shortlisted.

It's really a double happiness, Qin Shanhai at this time feels that the fate of this thing is very interesting, if he didn't join the army, he wouldn't be a forest ranger, if he didn't become a forest ranger, he wouldn't be able to catch a thief, if he didn't catch a thief, he wouldn't know the news of recruiting police, and he couldn't take the police exam, all this seemed to be arranged by God in advance.

The captain of the company's forest ranger team is also very supportive of the news that Qin Shanhai is going to be a policeman, the forest rangers are basically joint defense team members or security officers assigned by the police station, and they usually deal with each other, and they are not outsiders.

After handing over the work on the mountain, he went directly to the company's financial office, and after ten minutes, Qin Shanhai walked out with a red face, touched his bulging pockets, and prepared to go to the town to buy some rice, and then bring some candy and pastries to his younger brother.

As soon as he walked out of the company's gate, Qin Shanhai was startled, "Here!" Guan Xiaojuan naughtily jumped out from the corner, pointed at Qin Shanhai and smiled: "Hehe, are you afraid?"

"You're always taken aback. Why are you here here?" Qin Shanhai also smiled.

"I've seen you holding your pockets and smiling so happily, right? Guan Xiaojuan took Qin Shanhai's arm and said.

Qin Shanhai embarrassedly refused: "Don't be like this, it's not good for colleagues to see it." ”

"I don't, I'm like this, what's wrong with holding you? I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?

"You take it away, I'll invite you to the steamed bun shop in the town to eat meat buns, okay?"

"That's pretty much it. ”

"You let go. ”

"I won't!"

The two came to the steamed bun shop in the town while talking, there were five people at the six small tables in the store, the two came to the empty table in the corner and sat down, Qin Shanhai asked for eight steamed buns and two bowls of porridge, and the two chatted while eating.

Guan Xiaojuan asked bluntly: "Last time I asked you a question, how did you think about it? You can answer me today." ”

Qin Shanhai paused for a moment and said, "Xiaojuan, I understand what you mean, I've been thinking about it for a long time in the past few days, you have good conditions, superior family conditions, beautiful people, and good personality, but it's impossible for the two of us!"

"How is it impossible? You don't like me at all?"

"It's not...... I....... ”

"......" Guan Xiaojuan's eyes were red, "But I like you, I like you for a long time, I often dream of you, when I was in school, if you can look at me in the class, I will be secretly happy for a few days, like you look at me like this, I feel that nothing in this world is important, as long as I am with you, it is the happiest thing for me." ”

"Xiaojuan, I ......"

Guan Xiaojuan interrupted: "Don't let me go, I'll ask you if you like me?"

Qin Shanhai raised his voice and said, "You listen to me, can you listen to me?"

Guan Xiaojuan wiped her eyes, "Okay, you say." ”

Qin Shanhai said slowly: "You may not know much about the situation of my family, the poorest place in Guhe Town is Shanghe Village, the poorest place in Shanghe Village is my family, even the neighbors in the village look down on our family, the only one in my family who has a job is my father, who used to teach in the town, and now he has become a gatekeeper, I also have a younger brother, who is eighteen this year, only three or four years old in intelligence, completely incapable of working, and needs to be taken care of, and me?" It's just a temporary worker in a forestry farm, 200 yuan a month, and I probably can't afford a year's salary for the leather coat you wear. If I'm not mistaken, every time you come to me without telling your family, your parents will definitely not agree to let you marry a poor bastard like me! Do you understand?"

Guan Xiaojuan said excitedly: "It's not important! It's really not important! I don't believe that with our hands, we can't change the status quo, you became a soldier, joined the party, and now you have participated in the work, and you will slowly get better in the future." ”

"You're right, I also applied for the police exam, but so what? There are some things that you or I can't control, I don't want people to point to the backbone and say that I'm Qin Shanhai climbing high branches! I don't want to be ridiculed by others for the rest of my life!" Qin Shanhai rubbed his face with both hands, "Xiaojuan, I'm sorry!" After speaking, he got up and left.

Guan Xiaojuan hugged Qin Shanhai from behind and cried: "The sea, don't go, I won't let you go." Don't go, the sea. ”

"Xiaojuan, can you calm down? ”

"My mother locked me up on the second floor and didn't allow me to come out, I tore the sheets and knotted them into ropes, tied them to the window before jumping down from the upper floor, just to sneak out to find you, and you did this to me, right?"

Qin Shanhai couldn't suppress his feelings anymore, turned around and hugged Guan Xiaojuan tightly.

……

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, regardless of rich or poor, the people of Shanghe Village will come up with the best food and celebrate the New Year with joy.

Today there is a happy event, a big happy event, and a double happy event!

In the new year, Qin Shanhai, the eldest son of the old Qin family, became a policeman, with an olive green uniform made of breeches, a large-brimmed hat, and black cotton leather shoes, which was the first time in Shanghe Village.

Jiang Gui, the village party secretary, and a group of villagers all came to pay New Year's greetings and join in the fun, and the people who surrounded the old Qin family had never been so beautiful.

Qin De's family changed into clean tunics, holding melon seeds and candy boxes in their hands and chatting enthusiastically with everyone.

"Hey, Lao Qin, this sea is out of the way. ”

"There is green smoke on the ancestral grave, Old Qin. ”

Qin De smiled and nodded.

The smile on Zhou Xiulan's face never stopped, "His aunt, the first in the sea exam." The child is angry, and my face is also bright. ”

"That's not it, I'll just say that you Xiulan is so blessed to have such a promising child. ”

The famous matchmaker in the village also joined in the fun, pulled Zhou Xiulan aside, and said mysteriously: "Hey, Xiulan, let me tell you, what do you think of the little girl with the big tongue of the king of our village?"

"What's going on?"

"Tell the sea daughter-in-law, that girl has no shortcomings except for being fat, she may have worked, and she is not ugly. ”

Zhou Xiulan said proudly: "Well, the sea said not to think about it now, let's talk about it, let's talk about it." ”

"Okay, if the sea is satisfied, you inform me, and I promise that it will be done. ”

"Okay, let's talk about it. ”

Qin De shouted at the inner room: "The sea, come out, they have all come to see you, and Jiang Zhishu is also here." ”

Qin Shanhai walked out with a smile on his face, holding a box of cigarettes in his hand, and gave everyone a circle. He kept saying "Happy New Year!"

Although he didn't like this kind of occasion, Qin Shanhai still tried his best to deal with it, just to make his parents happy.

Qin dra sang the erhu from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, his younger brother Qin Shanhe grabbed Qin Shanhai's police and hat and did not let go, and gestured on his head, he knew that his brother was a policeman.

Qin Shanyue often proudly told her playmates in the same village: "My brother is a policeman, and he has a pistol in his waist, but he is majestic!"

This is the most comfortable year for Qin Shanhai to grow so big.

Yes, this family needs a smile so much, and life has to be better, right?

……

After the New Year, Qin Shanhai went to the Guhe Town Police Station to report.

Director Liu Zhengkun asked the police to gather and held a simple welcome ceremony.

Yu Zheng, an instructor who had just turned 40, wore a pair of glasses and held a pen to take notes.

Below sat Hou Zhenkun, deputy director, Tian Baojun, a veteran policeman, Wang Wenhao, a policeman who had been in the company for less than two years, and three comrades in charge of internal service, as well as two newly recruited contract policemen, Qin Shanhai and Du Wenbin.

"First of all, welcome the two new comrades: Qin Shanhai and Du Wenbin. The applause rang out, Liu Zhengkun continued: "These two comrades, are outstanding young people who have undergone physical examinations and strict examinations, but don't be proud, because passing the examination, it does not mean that you will sit firmly in the position of the police, but also for a three-month internship, the internship period expires, participate in the unified training organized by the county, and then it can be regarded as a formal entry, the two comrades The three-month internship period is under the leadership of Comrade Hou Zhenkun, who is responsible for public security, and slowly familiarize yourself with it, the police is a hard profession, and you two must also be psychologically prepared." Of course, I believe that the two of you can do it, Qin Shanhai is a demobilized soldier, a party member, and has advanced deeds. Although Du Wenbin has never been a soldier, he is also a top student who has gone to a junior college and has a very high quality. So I ask you to integrate into the collective as soon as possible, unite your comrades, and complete your tasks well!"

Qin Shanhai has been paying attention to his partner Du Wenbin, his figure is not thin, but because of his size, he looks very thin, because this person is more than 1.95 meters, Qin Shanhai's height of 1.8 meters is half a head shorter in front of him, his head is very big, his face is kind, and he does not look like a cropper with fine skin and tender meat, he should not have done farm work, and he has a watch shining silver on his wrist.
