Chapter 5 Deputy Director
As close friends, Li Ruohan and Lou Kelan are almost inseparable, which also makes them suffer unbelievable bad luck at the same time, and the two delicate flowers withered at the most beautiful time, which made others regret.
In Li Zhiqiu's original memory, Li Ruohan and the others were on their way home on a weekend in the second semester of high school, and were blocked by some gangsters in the alley and ravaged, which directly led to Li Ruohan jumping off the building and Lou Kelan dropping out of school and stepping into the dust. Although those gangsters have been punished by the law, but the punishment has been reduced a lot because they are minors, even if Li Zhiqiu secretly let them bear the punishment they deserve later, but they can't save the withered flower.
Knowing that there was still a period of time before that incident happened, Li Zhiqiu was still a little uneasy, so he could only spend a little time every week secretly following Li Ruohan and them, which could be regarded as a little soothing of his crush in his previous life, or with regret.
took a stop on the bus and watched Li Ruohan walk into the Qingyuan community, Li Zhiqiu, who was sitting in the corner of the bus, got off the bus at the next stop, and then took the bus back to his store.
"Mom and Dad, I'm back."
Walking to the front of the small restaurant called Zhiqiu Restaurant, he saw a pair of middle-aged men and women sitting there settling accounts, their black hair color did not have a trace of snow white, Li Zhiqiu shouted out the long-lost name in a trembling voice.
"Xiaoqiu is back, how is it, is the school hard? By the way, son, you haven't eaten yet, mom will make it for you. Seeing her son come back, Zhao Lei put down the calculator in her hand and walked over to look her son up and down. Zhao Lei, who found that her son had lost some weight, was distressed, and hurriedly walked into the back kitchen to prepare lunch.
"Dad."
Coming to his father, Li Zhiqiu shouted softly.
"Well, I'm back, sit down."
Nodding to his son, Li Ye buried his head and continued to settle the account, he was such a silent surname.
Sitting down and looking at his father, who was not tall and a little chubby, Li Zhiqiu's eyes were pregnant with tears, this was his father who had silently sheltered him for decades. Although there are not many words, Li Zhiqiu can see the love in his father's eyes, which is a mountain of great love.
In the silence of the father and son, Zhao Lei quickly sent the same meal, green vegetable tofu, fried bean sprouts, braised pork...... Everything is Li Zhiqiu's favorite dish.
"Mom, that's enough, you and Dad haven't eaten either, let's eat together." Looking at the eight dishes on the table, seeing that his mother still had the intention of serving, Li Zhiqiu hurriedly said.
"It's okay, son, you rarely come back once, how can Mom make you hungry. You and Dad eat first, return two dishes, and it will be fine soon. Saying a word to her son with a smile, Zhao Lei continued to walk into the kitchen to get busy.
It wasn't until ten dishes were set on the table that Zhao Lei took off her apron and ate with the father and son.
Looking at the dishes that were full of dishes in the bowl, Li Zhiqiu felt that at the same time, he silently eliminated them.
During the meal, Li Zhiqiu observed the appearance of his parents, his father, who was not tall and had a beer belly, and his mother, who was the same as his father and had a slightly round face, they were so young without white hair. The warmth of home quietly nourished Li Zhiqiu's heart, which seemed to have gone through all the vicissitudes of life, and let him gradually return to this real world, and the hundred-year experience gradually became a slightly real dream.
"Lao Li, the family is eating."
Just as Li Zhiqiu's family was enjoying the after-dinner tea warmly, a rough and bold voice sounded, and then several policemen in police uniforms walked in.
"Lao Chen, you're here, sit down, Ah Lei, pour tea."
Standing up and greeting him, Li Ye greeted the leading policeman, and asked Zhao Lei to serve tea by the way.
"Lao Li, don't be so polite, just serve the food as usual." Facing his childhood friend, Chen Youdao smiled and scolded, and sat down with several subordinates.
"Hello Uncle Chen."
Seeing the leading policeman, Li Zhiqiu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he stepped forward and shouted obediently. He knew that his father's friend was the deputy director of the Xicheng Police Station, and he was also an important person in his plan to change the fate of his family.
"Xiaoqiu is back, not bad, she has grown a lot taller. How about studying in No. 1 Middle School, I have time to teach my family Jin Zhe and let him see what it means to be a high-achieving student. Seeing Li Zhiqiu, who was admitted to Anping No. 1 Middle School, Chen Youdao had an even worse smile on his face, and patted this nephew on the shoulder hard.
"Lao Chen will laugh, where can this stinky boy in my family be considered a top student." Poured a few cups of tea for several policemen, Li Ye replied with a smile, but his face was full of pride. His son's admission to the city's best middle school is the proudest thing in his life, and every time he goes back to the village to hear others greet him, he feels very comfortable.
"Boss Li, I think you don't know how to be blessed in the midst of happiness, and when Xiaoqiu graduates from university, you two elders will wait to enjoy Qingfu." Liang Xiaoguang, a young policeman on the side, joked with a smile.
"If my Xiaoqiu can be admitted to the police like Officer Liang, our husband and wife will be at ease." Sending a stir-fry, Zhao Lei replied.
In the midst of the jokes, the six dishes, one soup and one pot were quickly served, and several extremely hungry policemen also ate them unceremoniously.
"Uncle Chen, there have been a lot of bad people in our school recently." When several policemen were full of wine and food, Li Zhiqiu pretended to mention it inadvertently.
"Oh, tell my uncle what's going on?" Hearing that there was a situation next to No. 1 Middle School, Chen Youdao's spirit immediately focused on the past, you must know that although No. 1 Middle School is not within the jurisdiction of their Xicheng, the detachment leader of Dongcheng is his comrade-in-arms, and if something goes wrong, he will inevitably be punished by the superiors.
"I don't know very well, but when I was just out of school, I saw several hooligan-looking people outside the school, and some male classmates paid money to them." Li Zhiqiu knew his age, so he naturally pretended to be very innocent. Although he had never seen those gangsters, according to what he had known in his previous life, there were already gangsters in society who were collecting protection money from the students of No. 1 Middle School at this time.
"Dog's guts."
After listening to Li Zhiqiu's simple description, Chen Youdao, who has been a police officer for more than ten years, suddenly thought of the key to it, and he did not expect that someone would dare to reach out to the No. 1 Middle School, which is a concentration of the children of the leaders of the organs, and if something goes wrong, the public security department of the entire Anping City will not be able to escape responsibility.
Taking out a small Nokia mobile phone, Chen Youdao dialed a phone call in the envy of several subordinates: "Lao Zhang, tell you something......
At this time, it was still 2002, although mobile phones began to enter the market on a large scale, but they did not reach the point of popularization, and Chen Youdao still used the oldest Nokia 6 series. In addition to making calls and texting, only Snake chats about a few games, although it is a color screen, but it is no different from a black and white screen. If it weren't for the Anping City Public Security Bureau's unified distribution for the reason of strengthening the ties between leading cadres, no one would be willing to spend unjustly money to buy this kind of color screen mobile phone.
You must know that the salary level of civil servants is still hovering around 1,000 yuan in recent years, and a Nokia 6 series color screen mobile phone is at least more than 3,000 yuan, especially in the small county town of Anping, the house price in a good area of the city is only seven or eight hundred yuan per square meter, and few people will spend money to buy such a 'luxurious' mobile phone. Even if you want to buy it, it is the kind of black and white screen with more than 1,000 people, for example, several official police officers who followed Chen Youdao are the kind of black and white screens, which can be regarded as unit distribution, and several auxiliary police officers also wear mobile phones, and those are estimated to be what they came by.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Youdao patted Li Zhiqiu's shoulder and said, "Xiaoqiu, don't worry, those bad guys have their own police uncle to deal with." How about it, do you want to give you this phone to play games? ”
"No, this is my uncle's work phone, and it's not good if the game runs out of battery." Li Zhiqiu has no interest in this kind of mobile phone, which is too old to be old. In his memory of the twenty-second century, mobile phones have long since developed into a chip light curtain mode, how can he be interested in such an old antique.
"Also, Xiaoqiu is still sensible." Hearing Li Zhiqiu say this, Chen Youdao, who reacted, felt that he loved it too much. However, it is worth boasting that there is a color screen mobile phone in this year, and there will be no more than 20 people in the public security system of Anping City, which is a symbol of some status.
After chatting a few words, Chen Youdao was ready to go on patrol, and when he left, he shouted to Li Ye: "Lao Li, record it in the account." ”
"Okay."
Seeing his mother skillfully record the amount of money consumed by Chen Youdao and others in a small notebook, Li Zhiqiu's brows furrowed. The restaurant run by Li Ye and his wife is not big, but the house of seventy or eighty square meters also includes a kitchen, and there are only six tables when it is full, and all the personnel add up to the husband and wife. Fortunately, there is a relationship with Chen Youdao, and the industrial and commercial departments and the fire and environmental protection departments will not take care of it, so there is a lot less trouble.
Moreover, a large part of the income of the small restaurant comes from the public expense of the Xicheng Police Station, and Chen Youdao often brings the police of his brother department to dine here, and the monthly signing cost is at least 4,000 or more. In addition, some department personnel also saw Chen Youdao's face to know that the autumn restaurant was fixed-point dining, accounting for almost seventy percent of the restaurant's income, after all, the citizens of Anping in this year have not come to the restaurant to consume from time to time, and almost all of them are consumed with public funds. With Chen Youdao here, Li Ye is not afraid of these departments defaulting on their accounts, and as soon as it ends in January, there has been no mistake in the New Year, and in a blink of an eye, Li Zhiqiu's family has run to a well-off life, and a new three-story house has been built in his hometown.
According to such a situation, Li Zhiqiu's family rushed to a wealthy place. However, Li Zhiqiu knew that because of the implication of something, the Xicheng Police Station would usher in a major purge, and Chen Youdao would also become a scapegoat from above, and he would be picked up again and again until he became an ordinary policeman in a remote mountain village. The new leader of the police station did not admit the previous signing of the Zhiqiu restaurant, and also put the designated restaurant somewhere else, so that the Li family's restaurant suddenly lost its biggest source of wealth.
To add insult to injury, the leaders of the rest of the departments also delayed their signing of orders, and from time to time the industrial and commercial departments and the fire and environmental protection departments came to inspect, making it difficult for the restaurant. After supporting for half a year, Li Ye and his wife ended the restaurant business at a loss of tens of thousands of dollars and changed their careers to start a transportation business. It wasn't until Li Zhiqiu graduated in 09 that the family's conditions gradually improved.
For this reason, when Chen Youdao came to their house as a guest, he often complained that he had affected Li Ye's family, but Li Ye laughed and scolded and comforted. Li Zhiqiu is also angry about this, he knows that his parents are working hard to run the restaurant for him, otherwise after Chen Youdao's demotion, his parents will be able to transfer the restaurant. After the restaurant closed down, Li Ye and his wife worked hard because of his tuition fees, and they fell ill when they were young, and they were even more sick in their later years. The immortal Li Ye couldn't do anything about it, he could only find the best hospital and the best doctor for treatment, but he still couldn't eliminate the guilt in his heart.
"This life will never be the same again."
Standing at the door of the restaurant and watching several police motorcycles go away with a roar, Li Zhiqiu said to his parents who were cleaning up the dinner table: "Mom and Dad, I'll go to Xinhua Bookstore to read books." ”
