On December 24, 1994, I received a notice: report to the Jiangnan Police Station! I'm finally officially at work! The haze of several months was swept away, and I was very happy.

After I went to work on December 20, Director Wu of the Political Department called me to the office again.

After closing the door and telling me to sit down, Director Wu spoke:

"Xiao Li, how are you getting along with Fangfang lately?"

"Okay, we have the same views on a lot of issues." I said.

"Fangfang is a very good child, I watched her grow up, her surname is gentle, she is safe, she is knowledgeable, you have to cherish it." Director Wu reminded.

"I'll take it seriously. Thank you, Director Wu. I replied.

"How long have you been in politics?" He looked at me and asked, obviously changing the subject.

"Director of the report, it's been three months and fifteen days." I answer precisely.

"Seeing that you have been working in the Political Department for so long, let me tell you in advance, your batch of students who have come back from the Public Security School will be assigned soon, I see that you are also elves, your academic qualifications are also good, you are also serious and responsible, and you have won awards for essays, do you want to stay in the Political Department?" Director Wu asked, looking into my eyes.

The political department is just writing manuscripts or something, sitting in the office and reading the newspaper, I am suffocated, and the few policemen in the office are a few older people, and I have no common topic, so I don't want to stay here! Wasn't my years of formal study in vain?

For this reason, I thought for a while and said, "Director Wu, thank you, I still want to be a criminal policeman." ”

"It's not easy to get into the criminal police team, it's a place full of talents." Director Wu shook his head and pinched his neck by the way, I knew that he was uncomfortable because he had sat in the office too much.

"Then you can also go to the police station to be a criminal policeman." I retreated to the next best.

"Why don't you ask Fangfang, or ask Secretary Liu's opinion?" Director Wu said.

"No need, I want to go to the police station below to exercise, aren't my senior brothers who came back two years ago all at the police station below?" I replied.

After understanding my attitude, Director Wu didn't insist anymore.

"Then I will suggest that you go to a first-class police station, where there are many things, and this is where you can play."

In this way, I was assigned to the Jiangnan Police Station.

The Jiangnan Police Station sent Deputy Director Jiang to pick us up, it was a white police car with a tail box, and the driver was Lao Yang.

Ah Zhu, who was assigned to the Jiangnan office with me, got into the police car, and the car hurriedly jogged on the way back to the police station. Although it is said that it is running on the provincial road, the road is particularly difficult to walk, and there are often traffic jams, and it rocks left and right for two or three hours, and finally arrives at the police station.

The police station is located on the east side of the highway, as soon as you enter the courtyard gate, it is a large courtyard, there is a low house in the southwest corner, that is the duty room, and the other parties are surrounded by 60 or 70 centimeters of low shrubs to form a green belt, which is trimmed very neatly, and there are two basketball hoops at the north and south ends, and the field is quite spacious and tidy. Directly east is a three-and-a-half-story building, frosted on the outside, with a tall iron tower erected on the roof, which I know is a transmitter tower with a hand-held station; The building is further east of the canteen, the courtyard, the wall, outside the wall is a weaving factory, every day from morning to night the machine roars, the sound is in your ears to run over, when you first came noisy can not sleep, the sound is too loud, the big people can not stand it, the doors and windows of the weaving factory dare not open, and then slowly get used to it. One night I couldn't sleep, I always felt wrong, and later found out that the weaving factory did not start that night, and the next day I ran over to ask, the benefit was not good, and the work was stopped.

Ah Zhu and I were both arranged on the top floor, that is, on the third floor, the dormitory door to the door, a three-bedroom house with a kitchen and bathroom for one person, spacious and spacious, but there was nothing in it. I had to start everything from scratch, it didn't matter anyway, I ate in the cafeteria, and I didn't cook by myself, so I stayed and talked about it first. I found a bed board and two wooden stools, put the wooden stools first, and then lay the bed boards, the bed boards are the kind of wooden frames that are surrounded by wooden frames, and the inside is woven into a net with brown rope, and there is no mattress or anything, so I lay the futon on it, and it is considered to have a place to sleep.

In the evening, there was a reception banquet, which was a treat from the town's education group, and Deputy Director Jiang told us about this in the car, and reminded us that we must have a good relationship with other units.

I heard that two college student policemen came at once, and the leaders of the education group attached great importance to it, saying that the first table of guests could only be invited by their education group, just like that, the two tables were gathered together, and Director Jiang, Lao Yang and others participated, which was quite lively.

As soon as I arrived at the unit, someone invited me to dinner, and I was very happy, so I chatted with people at the wine table, and the deputy head of the education group, Zou, saw that I was quite active, so he squeezed next to me and sat down, saying that he wanted to drink with me.

Although I usually drink a little alcohol, it is not very large; Although I also drank four bottles of wine at the graduation assembly with the Eight Immortals, that was a special circumstance; Although I have also seen as a referee, two of my classmates drink a bottle of liquor and half of a person and peanuts, but I am just a referee, I didn't drink it; Although I also attended the banquet at Director Wu's house, the atmosphere of the banquet was very good, and I also drank a lot of wine; But I haven't had a fight with anyone, but it'...... I, a student who has just debuted, how can I resist the persuasion of Deputy Team Leader Zou, who is almost forty years old?

"Xiao Li, there is no one in the police station who can't drink." Team Leader Zou said.

I smiled at him noncommittally.

"Come, if you can afford my brother, let's have another drink." Team Leader Zou began to generalize.

Two glasses of wine were poured into my stomach.

"There are rules for drinking in Jiangnan Town, and three glasses are respectful." Team Leader Zou spoke again, and drank cup after cup.

Three more glasses of wine poured into my stomach.

"It's time for you to return the salute." Team Leader Zou reminded.

I immediately stood up, took three cups, and placed them on the table in front of me, in a line. After finishing it, he also placed three cups in front of Team Leader Zou, and then poured them all full.

I didn't use my hands, I lowered my head, I bit the glass with my teeth, then I raised my head, my neck was raised, and a glass of wine was down, followed by two glasses of wine, and three glasses of wine. Then sit down and look at Team Leader Zou.

Everyone clapped their hands and shouted with joy, and a few people from the police station clapped vigorously and applauded loudly.

Hearing the applause, all the people at the other table came over.

Team Leader Zou also learned from me to do the same. After he finished drinking, everyone also applauded.

"What's next?" Team Leader Zou obviously didn't expect me to attack like this, and he also became interested and aroused his fight.

Someone next to him immediately shouted: "Mountains and flowing water!" Mountains and rivers! ”

"What is alpine water?" I asked, I really don't understand this.

"Look at me drinking!" Team Leader Zou said, after speaking, he picked up two cups, both poured wine, held two cups in his right hand, and then slowly raised his hand, the angle was slowly tilted, forming a high and low situation, he put his mouth to the low cup, and then slowly continued to raise the cup, the wine slowly flowed from the high cup to the low cup, and then flowed into the mouth of the group leader Zou.

When he finished drinking, I said hello to the crowd, and then I picked up my glass and drank it slowly.

There was another thunderclap of joy. Someone shouted: "This is not fun, if you want to drink, drink a seven-star highlight." ”

"Seven stars shine brightly, seven stars shine high, do you dare?" Team Leader Zou stood up and looked at me with questions on his face.

I shook my head, Team Leader Zou was full of disappointment, and the people at the police station also let out an "oh".

"Scared?" Team leader Zou said.

"You drink so many ways, I don't know how to drink this." I said.

"What's wrong with this, I'll drink it first, and you just drink it. What do you think? ”

"Okay, no problem." I replied.

Seven cups, lined up in a circle on the table, full of seven glasses of wine were placed there, Zou team leader picked up a glass, raised it high, did not spill a drop of wine, and then dried it in one sip, followed by the second glass, the third glass...... Seventh cup. The cup bottoms out, and not a drop overflows.

And the crowd shouted with a loud voice.

I drew a scoop on the gourd again, and the wine did not overflow.

After I finished drinking, Team Leader Zou immediately took my hand and said, "Xiao Li, drink happily with your little brother, if you have anything to do in Jiangnan Town in the future, you can find me, and I will help you settle it." ”

I also said: "During my time at the police station, the affairs of the town education team were my business, and I would never be embarrassed to look up to our education team so much." "Later, I really did it and helped the education team a lot, but that's a later story.

When Team Leader Zou heard this, he was very moved, and said loudly: "Waiter, bring the bowl!" ”

The waiter immediately brought two large flower bowls and poured half a bowl of wine each.

Everyone looked at us stupidly, and no one said anything.

We lifted the bowl at the same time, tilted our necks, and went down with a grunt.

That spicy, that prickly, that uncomfortable, it's really uncomfortable. Fortunately, I survived.

After drinking, we hugged each other and shouted, "Refreshing!" It's so refreshing! ”

There was thunderous applause again.

None of us mentioned drinking anymore, and neither did the people around us.

The reception banquet ended with thunderous applause from everyone.

After a few hours in the car and so much drinking, I returned to the police station where I had just set up my own nest, and when I collapsed, I fell asleep.

I slept soundly.;
