Han Mo was stunned, what Lao Chen said just now was something he didn't expect at all, Han Mo looked sideways and looked at Lao Chen again.

This is a man who looks older than his actual age, his face is not satisfied with the fine surroundings, the skin at the corners of his eyes is slightly drooping, but the ink-colored pupils are extraordinarily energetic, looking into the distance through the dry and cold air, as if looking at the group of people who have come to the end, as if looking at the deeper part of the city, his eyes are deep, it seems to be full of hope, and there is no hope at all.

Lao Chen subconsciously rubbed his calloused hands, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, Lao Chen has been immersed in the glory he brought to his family after becoming an assistant policeman, the assistant police are also policemen and law enforcers, in the eyes of the simple Lao Chen, they are the same, but the salary is different.

Han Mo couldn't help but ask, "Just for this?"

It may be that Han Mo's tone was too surprised, and Lao Chen, who had been looking across the road, looked at Han Mo sideways.

The moment he saw Han Mo, he was stunned for a moment, and quickly returned to his original state.

Lao Chen smiled, and the wrinkles on his face deepened a little because of this smile.

"Young man, I don't see that you don't have a daughter, I don't know what it feels like to be a father, I don't really care what others say about my profession, although we play with mud, but we are also the most bullish in mud. But it's different in the hearts of children, do you think children don't compare with each other when they are young?"

Lao Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head, "When my daughter was four years old, one day she suddenly came back and asked me why other people's fathers are doctors, teachers, and policemen, while her father is a mud worker.

I was a little surprised, I carefully explained to my daughter that my job is not a mason, but a mason, which is an indispensable process in the decoration, Dad is a craftsman, and it is difficult to find a job if he is unemployed in other occupations, but Dad is different, as long as he is still building a house, Dad has a job.

I tried my best to brag about my work, my daughter was young and easy to cheat, and that time she really felt that her father's profession was the best. But two days later, my daughter came home angrily, I asked her what was wrong, and the moment I saw it, the little face that was still tight suddenly became aggrieved, and I cried loudly.

She said that she quarreled with the children because they all said that mud workers are living mud every day, and they are not a bad profession at all, but the dirtiest and smelliest profession.

But my daughter didn't think so, she didn't think her father would lie to her, and her father said that the masons were very powerful, that is, they were very powerful, so they quarreled with the classmates who laughed at her, and finally they were punished by the teacher.

I really wanted to tell her not to quarrel with others because of my father's profession in the future, but before I could say it, my daughter said, Dad, don't worry, they will never dare to say that the masons are not good in the future, I said it, and they will beat them again, they are afraid, my father is the most powerful. ”

Lao Chen's eyes turned red, and he sighed long, "Later, I learned that she really fought with the child for me, and I secretly went to the house of the parent of the child who was beaten to apologize." I don't want to take her with me, I don't think it's right to beat someone, but she is to defend her father's dignity, I don't want her to see her father apologize to others, I told her not to hit people in the future, but I don't want other parents to accuse her face-to-face, I would rather others say me.

That's when I started to take the assistant police exam, I don't have a diploma, and I can't go to other professions, but I heard that the threshold for the assistant police is relatively low, so it's easier to take the exam. But even so, I haven't been able to pass the test, I'm really useless. ”

Lao Chen's face showed a look of guilt, the first time he mentioned this to someone, it might be because Han Mo happened to be sitting next to him at this moment, or it could be because he needed someone to talk to him too much.

His wife didn't understand him, his friends didn't understand him, his former co-workers didn't understand him, and even the comrades of the city bureau who organized the exam didn't understand him.

He had no one to tell about this, and Han Mo, as a stranger, was the most suitable.

If Han Mo couldn't understand Lao Chen's mood beside him at first, at this moment, as a father, Han Mo can understand Lao Chen's difficulties very well.

Han Mo knows that if it is really a person who has never had children, at this time, the most persuadable words should be three hundred and sixty lines of the line, there is no noble or lowly profession, every position needs outstanding talents, and it is necessary to educate children Although the working environment is not good, although it is a manual laborer, it is also one of many occupations, and it is not ashamed to rely on physical strength to eat......

There are a lot of lines on all kinds of tall lines, and there is a belly of chicken soup to pour.

But Han Mo is not a person who has never given birth to a child, and Han Mo is also the father of his daughter.

As a father, he also hopes that when his daughter mentions herself in front of the children, she is proud, proud, and can talk eloquently. What makes Han Mo the most proud is never that others praise him for how versatile and amazing he is, but Xuanxuan raised her little head, raised her little chin, and bragged proudly to her little friend for him, and said vividly, how is my father......

Is this vanity?

Yes, he is vanity.

But this vanity of his, only for the little one, and his vanity only comes from his fatherhood. Han Mo doesn't care if his work wins an award, whether he is popular, or even what others say about him, but he cares about Xuanxuan.

He hopes that in his daughter's heart, whenever she mentions her father, she can hold her head high, proud, proud.

He only cares about his image in Xuanxuan's heart, and everything else doesn't matter.

So Han Mo can understand Lao Chen very well, why he would rather apologize to others and be counted down, rather than admit in front of his daughter that his work is a very dirty and tired mason, he just told his daughter that it was wrong to beat people.

Han Mo can understand even more, why Lao Chen is desperately trying to take the assistant police exam, and would rather be unknown to everyone than try again and again, but he fails again and again, and tries again and again.

He just wanted to do what he could, to find a decent job, a job where his daughter could hold her head up in front of her classmates.

Lao Chen's rough big hand was subconsciously placed on his knee, and the back of his hand was covered with cuts, some of which were due to cracks from chilblains, and some were wounds left by rubbing.

Han Mo wanted to comfort and comfort a few words, but found that in fact, the other party didn't need to comfort himself at all, it seemed that the assistant police exam in his spare time was already a goal of Lao Chen, I don't know if he can really be admitted, whether he will really be rejected forever because of his age.

Han Mo was even a little worried, if he really couldn't take the test again, what would happen to Lao Chen.

He couldn't help but look at Lao Chen again......
