Shao Dong's house is in a shantytown in the eastern suburbs, more than ten kilometers away. Shao Dong didn't take a taxi either, thinking about his thoughts while walking.

If you think about it, the girl's appearance just now is really good, maybe this left a phone call...... But the next moment, Shao Dong shook his head again and sighed.

When he was five years old, his father died of a serious illness, and his mother led his three-year-old brother Shao Xiaobei to work in the field.

Due to his poor family, Xiaobei dropped out of junior high school and worked the construction site to subsidize his family. Shao Dong graduated from high school and enlisted in the frontier armed police, because of his good training results, he was absorbed into the mobile squadron, and in the third year, he became a non-commissioned officer squad leader.

At this time, when you go home from the army, the first task is to change the status quo and make the life of your mother and younger brother better, rather than falling in love. Thinking of his mother and younger brother, a smile appeared on the corner of Shao Dong's mouth.

Passing by a street stall selling clothes, Shao Dong spent seven yuan to buy a hat to wear, for fear that when he returned home, his relatives would feel distressed when they saw him injured.

In the eastern suburbs, the shantytowns are still the same as they were five years ago, with messy garbage and poorly structured houses. Shao Dong walked to his door and patted the door: "Mom, Xiaobei, I'm back!"

After a while, a young man and a middle-aged woman walked out of the house, the young man was sturdy, dark-skinned, and wearing the winter training clothes sent home by his brother. The appearance of middle-aged women is very poignant, and the perennial overwork makes women in their forties look like old ladies in their fifties and sixties, with wrinkled faces, rough skin, and calluses on one hand.

"Oh, it's Dongzi! You're back, let Mom see if you've changed?" said her mother in a trembling voice, stretching out her hands to touch Shao Dong's face. "Why didn't you say it earlier, let Xiaobei pick you up. Mother said.

Shao Dong threw away the military backpack on his back and shouted, "Mom!" and hugged his mother tightly.

"Brother!" Xiaobei is not good at words, and he smirked!

"Come in, come in!" the mother took Shao Dong's hand and walked into the house. Xiaobei picked up his brother's bag and followed behind him with a smile.

Although the house is not large, it is neatly cleaned, and the dilapidated furniture is clean. The only valuable thing in the house is a second-hand color TV, which Shao Dong bought from the county seat when he visited relatives last year, and Shao Dong felt very sad when he saw it.

Shao Dong's mother saw the bandage exposed under Shao Dong's hat and asked with concern, "Dongzi, what's wrong with your head?"

"It's okay, it's okay, I touched it on the road, and it broke a little skin. Shao Dong hidden.

"Why is this kid so careless?" asked Shao Dong's mother.

Shao Dong hurriedly changed the topic: "Xiaobei, why don't you buy anything with the money I sent! What about the battery car I asked you to buy for your mother?"

"Brother, Mom won't let you buy it, your money is saved, Mom said to keep it for you to build a house and marry a daughter-in-law!" Xiaobei replied.

"Mom, I don't marry a daughter-in-law, I want you to live a better life if I give you my salary!" Shao Dong's eyes turned red.

"Silly boy, mom has hands and feet, enough money to spend, I'm good at riding a bicycle, don't waste money." Mother said with a smile.

"Mom, I'll work hard, Xiaobei and I will definitely let you live a good life, spend the money when you need to, don't wronged yourself!" Shao Dong said with red eyes.

"Your brother has the opportunity to support himself, and Mom will be satisfied! Look at you, go home and be happy, Mom will cook for you!" the mother turned her head and wiped her tears.

Mother went to cook, Shao Dong and Shao Xiaobei sat and chatted in the house, they hadn't seen each other for a few years, and Xiaobei was still not good at words. Shao Dong asked Xiaobei and replied, Shao Dong learned from his younger brother that Xiaobei followed his cousin to do chores on the construction site in the county, let him do whatever he wanted, never shouted hard work and tiredness, and could get a salary of about 2,000 yuan per month, Xiaobei felt very satisfied.

"Let's work together to support this family!" Shao Dong patted Xiaobei's shoulder and said!

"Hey, hey, okay brother!" Xiaobei obeyed his brother's words.

After chatting for a while, the meal was ready, the three of them sat down to eat, Shao Dong talked about what the troops had seen and heard and what they planned for the future, and the family was happy.

Early the next morning, Shao Dong got up at five o'clock for morning exercises, the habit of the troops, went out to run ten kilometers, he had a head injury in the back of his head, bought a roll of gauze on the way back, and after arriving home, he played a set of "grappling fists" in the courtyard, sweating on his forehead, feeling comfortable all over, secretly scrubbing the wound and changing the gauze, and putting on a hat.

The mother made breakfast early, the family finished eating, Xiaobei went to work, and Shao Dong went to the county resettlement office to report.

Shao Dong took his discharge certificate to the resettlement office to report, went through a series of formalities, reported to the armed forces department, and returned to the local police station to settle down, and so on. According to state regulations, non-commissioned officers were given a job, and the staff replied that they would go back and wait for notice.

After completing the settlement procedures, Shao Dong called his comrade-in-arms, Wang Bo.

Wang Bo is Shao Dong's comrade-in-arms, the two are the same age, and they enlisted together from G County, and the relationship between the two in the army is very good.

Wang Bo's family lives in the county seat, and his parents are both working-class, and their lives are considered to be well-off.

But Wang Bo only served as a soldier for two years before he was demobilized, because Wang Bo's family conditions were okay and he did not want to suffer hardships in the army, so his family arranged a decent job for Wang Bo through his connections, that is, as an "assistant police officer" in the police station.

Because Shao Dong has always had a wish, that is, to be a mighty people's policeman, so he wanted to meet Wang Bo, first, to get together with his comrades-in-arms, and second, to ask Wang Bo about the specific conditions and requirements for being a policeman.

Wang Bo was also very happy to receive Shao Dong's call, and heard that Shao Dong had returned home from demobilization and wanted to meet immediately, so the two made an appointment to meet in a relatively low-cost teahouse in the county.

When Wang Bo arrived, Shao Dong had already ordered a pot of "Tieguanyin", and this pot of tea was still the cheapest for 30 yuan, Shao Dong sighed secretly.

Wang Bo's eyes lit up when he saw Shao Dong, and the two hugged with a smile and patted each other on the back.

Shao Dong looked at Wang Bo carefully, he hadn't seen him for a few years, Wang Bo was still so fat, his expression seemed to be smiling at any time, his small eyes, wearing the uniform of an "assistant police officer", he was very happy.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Shao Dong took a closer look at Wang Bo's uniform, and the position of the pockets on both sides of the clothes was printed with "Assistant Police 0××".

"What's going on? Can you tell me more?" Shao Dong was very concerned about the police.

"I, in fact, am a security guard, who assists the police, also called a joint defense team, but I work at the police station, and it sounds better to say it. Hey, hey!" Wang Bo said with a hippie smile.

"Then what do you usually do, why don't you want to be a real policeman?" asked Shao Dong very seriously.

"Ordinary cases, gambling arrests, anti-pornography and illegal activities are all led by formal police, and we are only responsible for assisting, and we have no law enforcement power. To put it bluntly, he is an assistant to the police. Our police station is short of police, so we rely on our auxiliary police to support. ”

Wang Bo paused, "You ask this, do you want to do this? I remember! You said in the recruit company that your dream is to be a people's policeman." ”

"Yes, I just want to be a people's policeman who really punishes rape and evil, and fights crime!" Shao Dong said categorically.

"This ...... If you want to take the exam, now it is called the compulsory exam, which means that if you want to become a police officer, you must take the civil service exam! I take the exam every year, but I am a little lazy when I review...... So I didn't make it once.

"I heard about this, and Director Wu of the railway station police station also gave me a set of study materials. Shao Dong said.

"You know Lao Wu, he can be regarded as my old-timer!" Wang Bo said.

"It's my first time, but Director Wu is very good......," Shao Dong said.

"You still tell me how to take the test, let's supervise each other and study together. Shao Dong asked carefully.

"Our police station will encourage assistant police officers to participate in every exam, there is a chance! I have already registered, our county is now recruiting policemen, and now there is still half a month before the exam, register online, you ............ like this. ”

"Understood, I'll help me sign up later, I learned the basics of public security in the army, let's work together. Can you ask for leave, let's study together, have a company, and it won't be boring. Shao Dong said.

"Reliable, you know my brain power, my grades were not good when I was in school, I have been taking the exam for three years, and I was not shortlisted, so I am a little unconfident. Wang Bo said.

"Let me give you an analysis, we only have three homework courses in this exam, "Basic Knowledge of Public Security", "Administrative Vocational Ability Test" and "Argument". I will mark out the key points of the three books for you, and you will memorize them according to the key points, and memorize them while understanding, and I will tell you in detail when the specific time comes. Shao Dong said.

"Interesting, Brother Dong, as long as you are willing to help me, I feel that I have hope this time. Wang Bo said.

"You ask for leave, I'll make a plan when I'm done, and we'll compare. Shao Dong said

"Good. Wang Bo nodded heavily.

Shao Dong habitually raised his fist at Wang Bo, and said in his mouth: "Unity, victory." ”

Wang Bo hesitated for a few seconds, then raised his fist and touched Shao Dong: "Unity, victory!"

Wang Boting said excitedly: "Your move makes me feel like I have returned to the army, I miss it a lot." ”

Shao Dong said: "People always have to make progress, the future is still long, let's work hard for a wonderful life, what's wrong?"

"What I talked about today, I am very emotional, I have been discharged from the army for three years, and I have been in a state of confusion for three years, I haven't thought about the future, but after listening to you, I feel that the good youth can't mess around like this, and our buddies have to catch up. Wang Bo said.

"Yes, you can think so, you arrange your affairs as soon as possible, and then contact me. Let's get the job done together. Shao Dong said.

In the afternoon, Shao Dong returned home, found out the study materials presented by Director Wu, took a cursory look at the content, and formulated a study plan for the time of the exam, ready to study hard.

During this period, I received two calls from Yao Xue to invite Shao Dong to dinner, but Shao Dong refused on the grounds of studying, and Shao Dong told Yao Xue to talk about it after a few days.
