Although there were several accidents in the previous stage, it has been peaceful in recent days, and New Year's Day has been ushered in safely.

Although he took three days off in a row, he didn't rest for the first two days of vacation, Chu Tianqi participated in several condolence activities, and the last day of vacation was considered a rest.

Originally, Ning Junqi said a few days ago that he was coming to Anping during the New Year's Day holiday, but later considering that Chu Tianqi had no time to rest, he temporarily canceled the trip.

After a rare sleep, it was almost nine o'clock in the morning when Chu Tianqi got up. After washing, he left the house and walked out of the party and government compound, and Chu Tianqi walked casually on the street.

On the streets of Anping in winter, the cool breeze was very cold, but for Chu Tianqi, it was nothing. The temperature in my hometown is about the same as here, maybe a little colder than here, and coupled with the physique of martial arts practitioners, it is already much cold-resistant.

The air quality here is slightly worse than in Yuchi County, but much better than in the surrounding city of Xinhe and other districts and counties. Coupled with the blowing of the cold wind, there is no sign of haze today, the sky is very blue, white clouds, and the warm sun sheds golden light.

Turning a street, he suddenly felt a "grunt" sound in his stomach, and after looking up, Chu Tianqi walked into a restaurant on the side of the road.

There weren't too many people in the restaurant, so Chu Tianqi found a corner and sat down.

The waiter immediately followed and asked the customer what to order. Chu Tianqi ordered two meatloafs and asked for a bowl of gruel.

Soon, porridge and meatloaf were served. Chu Tianqi lowered his head and slowly drank porridge while eating meatloaf.

At this moment, four middle-aged men entered the restaurant and sat down not far from Chu Tianqi. One of them went to order food, and the other three gossiped:

"The Public Security Bureau has done some personnel this time, but after such a crackdown, those gangsters and 'Ergou Oil' are gone. ”

"Just don't have a gust of wind, after a few days, it's still business as usual. ”

"Yes, yes. Is it easy for us to do some small business? If we let those ruffians and scoundrels fall into their skins, how can we make any profits?"

"It's not just that it's not profitable, it's that it's crooked. You're like this fall, you're doing some business all day and worrying about it, for fear that they'll ask for protection money again. It's okay for us to say at home, but if it's just a woman, we can't handle it. Guard against it slowly, that time when my daughter-in-law was there, they went, not only did they speak badly, but they also had bad intentions. In the end, they obediently gave 800 yuan before they left, and my daughter-in-law was angry and frightened, and she was sick for a long time. ”

"Whatever, if you break your fortune and avoid disasters, as long as you are fine, you are better than anything else. ”

"Again, don't just do it like doing sports, as soon as ten days pass, there will be no movement. ”

"I heard that the new county magistrate was responsible for this crackdown, and they all said that this county magistrate was very promising. ”

"It is said that the new county magistrate is tall and thin, and he is only about 30 years old. You said that when we were 30 years old, we still set up stalls on the street all day long, why did we become county magistrates?"

"It's useless than that, people just sit in the office, and the two of us are doing small business, this is fate. ”

"It's, I just hope that the law and order can be like these days, and the county magistrate is doing people's business. ”

Although he lowered his head, the conversation between those people entered Chu Tianqi's ears word for word. He was both relieved and not without shame, he was glad that the "two festivals" were done correctly this time, providing security for many people who did their duty, and he was ashamed that he was indeed going to do it for a month. Of course, it is impossible to strike hard every day, but how to ensure the results of the strike hard and create a safe and stable living environment for the masses of the people must think carefully and put it into action.

The porridge and meatloaf had already been eaten, Chu Tianqi put down his chopsticks and walked out sideways, so as not to be recognized by people.

As soon as he walked to the door, a short man chased after him: "Give you money." ”

Chu Tianqi turned his head and saw that the other party was holding a five-yuan bill in his hand, so he said suspiciously: "My money? ”

"It's not lost, it's the money you pay for your meals. Just now, when you finished ordering and paying, the waiter didn't recognize you. You've done good things for us, how can I take your money?" the short man continued to reach for it.

Understood, the other party recognized himself. So Chu Tianqi smiled slightly: "It's only natural to pay money for dinner, how can I not give money?" As he spoke, he found that the chatters just now were also looking here.

The short man still insisted: "But ......"

"Good meatloaf and gruel. With that, Chu Tianqi waved his hand and turned to leave.

"County magistrate, come often in the future. A man's cry came from behind him.

Leaving the restaurant, Chu Tianqi walked to another street. When I came out of the unit, I was aimless, ready to wander around casually, and go back early after a meal. After listening to the conversation between the three of them just now, Chu Tianqi decided to go to the market to take a look at the situation there, and see if there were any people like the market tyrant. With the experience of the previous car that he had just recognized, Chu Tianqi took out sunglasses from his jacket pocket and put them on the bridge of his nose.

After a short time, Chu Tianqi arrived at the vegetable and fresh market.

coincided with the holiday, and because the Spring Festival was approaching, people came and went in front of the stalls, asking prices, flipping goods, or bargaining with vendors from time to time. Although the vendors were very busy and many of them were hoarse, their faces were still full of joy, love and expectation for a better life.

The whole circle turned down, the market was bustling with people, a peaceful festival market scene, and no one was found to be linked to the word "ba". I think that even if there is a "tyrant", it may not appear at this time.

……

Out of this market, Chu Tianqi crossed the road again, and when he reached the other side, he turned into a three-story old building. This building was an old department store from a long time ago, and later it was used as a place to sell miscellaneous goods. After entering the building, Chu Tianqi walked around the first and second floors, and then walked to the third floor. The third floor is full of New Year's stalls, and when he was in the vegetable market just now, he specifically inquired about it.

Although it was only a walk-by, Chu Tianqi also found a problem, and there were fire hazards in the building. He found that the building was very old, with thin and aging wires sticking to the upper corners, and many of the vendors had heating appliances plugged in. Those electric heaters, each power is more than 1,000 watts, some may be nearly 2 kilowatts, if there are many units working at the same time, how can the circuit stand it? No wonder two vendors complain that the power is always tripping and the power is lost. It's a good thing to be able to trip in time, otherwise a fire accident may have occurred earlier. Chu Tianqi felt that this matter must be taken seriously, and he had to make corresponding arrangements for going to work tomorrow.

When you go up to the third floor, you will see a light in front of you, full of red lanterns, couplets, and colorful lights. Of course, Chu Tianqi took off his glasses to see it, otherwise it would definitely be dark.

Noticing that there was a gaze on him, Chu Tianqi subconsciously turned his head to see that it was two young girls who he didn't recognize. I don't know if the two recognized their identities, or for some reason, they kept staring at themselves anyway. He smiled and put his sunglasses on his face again.

There are also a lot of people on the third floor, and it seems that many people are turning one or two times first, asking the price while turning. Then move on to your favorite stall to haggle or choose your merchandise.

When Chu Tianqi passed by the stall, he would also communicate appropriately with the vendors. Even if he doesn't ask the other person, the other person will accosted him and asked "what do you want".

"Is that you?" suddenly a timid voice sounded.

Chu Tianqi turned his head to look, and behind him was a delicate girl in a red cotton suit, no wonder she felt that the voice was familiar, it turned out to be Xiaojuan, who had a two-sided relationship.

"It's really you. Xiaojuan was very happy, "Why are you here?" ”

It seemed that although the other party saw himself, he didn't know his identity, so Chu Tianqi said vaguely: "I'll go around casually." Why are you here?"

"I'm from Anping County. I just came back from a part-time job and want to buy something for my family, so I will take the shuttle bus back later. Speaking of this, Xiaojuan paused, immediately took out a fifty yuan bill from her pocket, and handed it over, "I've always wanted to find you, this is to repay your money." ”

Xiao Juan's actions attracted the attention of some people next to her.

"No, no. Chu Tianqi refused and walked towards the staircase.

"You helped me at the beginning, and I can't help but pay it back. Xiao Juan took the banknote and followed closely behind.

"You hurry up and put it away, so many people are watching, how bad. While speaking, Chu Tianqi had already arrived at the stairs.

Xiaojuan looked around, and held the banknote in her hand: "I'll put it away, you wait for me, I have something to say." ”

Chu Tianqi stopped his steps, stood in place, and turned his head.

Xiaojuan followed, gasping, and lowered her voice: "I heard that Brother Qin is still looking for you, you have to be careful, his father is an official." ”

"Brother Qin?" After hesitating for a moment, Chu Tianqi asked, "You mean the red hair?"

After looking around, Xiao Juan said: "I went to the restaurant in September, just a few days after I went, that Brother Qin went to eat, the proprietress was close to him, and some waiters talked about it quietly." The day before yesterday, I was working in a provincial town where I worked, and I met a waiter who used to work in a restaurant. He said that Brother Qin went to the restaurant to find me, and Brother Qin threatened to seek revenge on you in the restaurant, he asked me to guard against Brother Qin, and said that Brother Qin and his father were officials in the city. Worried that Brother Qin would know about my new place of work and that he would find trouble again, I quickly resigned and went home to hide first. ”

Chu Tianqi let out an "oh": "That's the case." ”

"Why do you always wear sunglasses, what do you look like?" Xiao Juan suddenly asked curiously.

"It's like this a lot, get used to it. Chu Tianqi casually made up a reason.

Xiaojuan "giggled": "You are really interesting." After speaking, he suddenly stuffed the banknote in his hand into the other party's pocket, turned around and ran.

"You ......" was just about to chase after him, when the bill fell to the ground. Chu Tianqi stopped his steps, bent down to pick it up, and did not chase it again. He realized that Xiaojuan had been thinking about repaying the money, and repaying the money had become a matter of concern for her, and if she accepted the money, the other party would be sure, otherwise she would inevitably be worried.

Suddenly, Xiao Juan's words came to mind again, and Chu Tianqi couldn't help frowning.
