Chapter 4: Don't forget your roots

Giggles...

Dilapidated old houses.

A child running barefoot.

Old man smoking dry tobacco under a big tree.

The flock of chickens with their heads held high and leisurely pecking grass seeds on the roadside constitute a true portrayal of Meng Gongwei in the 80s.

Meng Gong Wai, also known as Meng Gong Housing, Meng Gong Village, is a Hakka village in Sai Kung District, where most of the people living here are Hakka people who migrated from Xingning County a hundred years ago.

In those days, Meng Gongwei was surrounded by mountains and was a paradise that could escape the war.

But for now, Meng Gongwei, who wants resources but no resources, and has no characteristics, has become synonymous with poverty and poverty.

"Uncle, may I ask how Sun Zhicheng's family is leaving?"

Lu Ze was dressed in casual clothes, panting in the hot Hong Kong Island climate.

"Who is Sun Zhicheng?"

A few old men under the tree were playing chess, and after hearing the sound, they looked at each other, and they couldn't remember whose descendants they were.

"Sun Zhicheng, isn't it the eldest son of the old Sun family, who was admitted to the police academy a few years ago?"

An old man thought of who Lu Ze was looking for.

Lu Ze nodded again and again, and affirmed: "Yes, it is the one who was admitted to the police academy, I am his colleague, I heard that he was sick, I came to see him." ”

"Follow this road and turn left at the third intersection."

"After turning around, pay more attention, his house is a red gate, by the way, the wall of his house is relatively low, especially easy to recognize."

The old village of Meng Gongwei is halfway up the mountain.

Because there was no planning when building the house, it looked like a mess, and outsiders couldn't tell which one was which.

Lu Zelian guessed and walked in according to the route given by the old man.

While walking, I thought: Sai Kung is a slum on Hong Kong Island, and Meng Gong Wai is a slum in Sai Kung.

Of course, it is not appropriate to say that it is a slum, because this is the countryside, and no matter how bad the slum is, it is in the city.

In other words, many people would rather squeeze into a 20-square-meter low-rent house than go back to their hometown to raise chickens and ducks.

For them, there are too many temptations in the nearby big city, and the countryside is synonymous with the devil's cave.

Knock knock...

After searching for a while, Wang Tian found Sun Zhicheng's family.

As soon as the door opened, inside was a middle-aged woman in her forties, dressed modestly.

"Who are you looking for?"

Lu Ze is dressed cleanly, and the clothes on his body are of good material, so he is not a country child at first glance.

"Auntie, I'm Brother Sun's colleague, and I said that he was sick, so I came to see him."

Lu Ze poked his head inside: "Is Brother Sun at home?" ”

"He's in the back room, you can go in."

Sun Zhicheng's mother opened the door and led Lu Ze inside.

The Sun family is a bungalow, the specifications are not large, judging from the yard and walls, this old house must be decades old, at least three generations have lived.

"Brother Sun, I've come to see you."

Lu Ze came to Sun Zhicheng's room and saw Sun Zhicheng lying on the bed watching TV.

Sun Zhicheng looked good, not like he was sick.

The so-called illness should be fake, and eighty percent of them are too timid to be frightened and make themselves uneasy.

"Aze, why are you here?"

Sun Zhicheng sat up from the bed, pulled the quilt, and motioned for Lu Ze to sit on the bed.

Lu Ze looked into the room, a cabinet, a black and white TV on the cabinet, a bed, and then there was nothing, no tables and chairs.

"I'm here this time to bring you good news."

"Our appointment has come down, and I have been transferred to Tseung Kwan O to serve as the leader of the patrol team and the position of sergeant in Choi Ming Court."

"You have been transferred to Tsui Lam Estate as the deputy commander of the assault vehicle and a senior police officer."

Lu Ze took out a pack of cigarettes, lit one for himself, lit one for Sun Zhicheng, and said: "Brother Sun, don't blame me for speaking ugly, it can be seen from this incident that you are not suitable for eating this bowl of rice." ”

"The assault car is very good, a group of several people, the wind can't blow, the rain can't rain."

"With your title as a senior police officer, you can probably get more than 5,000 yuan a month, and one person's salary can be worth two office workers, so take care of your family more in the future."

Sun Zhicheng didn't speak, lowered his head and smoked.

After a long time, he raised his head, his eyes were a little red: "I used to think that I was different from other people, most of my peers in the village did not go to school after finishing junior high school, working part-time workers, being horse boys, I especially looked down on them, and I didn't move around with them."

"I always feel that I can get out of the way, but I don't have a chance because I don't have a chance, give me a chance, I can also be an inspector and a superintendent."

Sun Zhicheng choked up: "Now I understand that peace and security is a blessing, when facing Ye Guohuan, I was stupid, I was afraid that Ye Guohuan would kill me with one shot, I only had one thought in my heart, don't die, don't die..."

Lu Ze searched in the room, but couldn't find toilet paper, so he could only give Sun Zhicheng the towel hanging on the wall.

Sun Zhicheng wiped his tears, and the more he cried, the more sad he became: "I didn't know that I was so timid, I was scared, fortunately you can cover it, otherwise let Ye Guohuan and them go, I won't be able to raise my head in my life." ”

Lu Ze sighed and didn't say anything, just patted Sun Zhicheng on the shoulder.

People are different from each other, some people regard fighting as a family, and thousands of troops dare to go up.

Some people get weak in their legs when they mention fighting, their whole body is shaking, and their brains are blank when they get home.

Sun Zhicheng can see himself clearly, which shows that he is still self-aware.

I'm afraid that there was a soft egg at the time, and he bragged about it afterwards, and he was chattering with people all over the world, which made people annoying when he looked at it.

Half an hour later, Lu Ze was almost done, and he was ready to leave.

Before leaving, Sun Zhicheng's mother carried a basket and filled it with a lot of green dates, and asked him to go back and eat them on the way.

Lu Ze responded with a smile and did not refuse.

Because he knew that he didn't want to, his grandmother would not only not be happy, but would think that he had neglected him.

Lu Ze is a very casual person, given by the elders, and it is not easy to shirk.

went out and looked at Sun Zhicheng's somewhat dilapidated home.

Lu Ze sighed in his heart, hoping that after this incident, Sun Zhicheng could take care of his family and take care of his family.

The father is gone, he is the eldest son, and there are two younger brothers and a younger sister below, and Sun Zhicheng's responsibility is very heavy.

It's just that if Sun Zhicheng hadn't made a celebrity girlfriend who likes to wear famous brands, he wouldn't have been able to spend thousands of yuan a month's salary.

This is this kind of thing, and he is not an outsider to say much.

Speaking of which, if the other party doesn't appreciate it, he won't say it, and if he doesn't get it right, he will make a feud.

Didi..

Drip, drip....

On the way home, Lu Ze's BB machine rang.

Looking down at the number on it, Lu Ze frowned slightly, and subconsciously looked around.

After making sure that no one was paying attention to him, Lu Ze came to the phone booth and skillfully entered a string of numbers.

"Hello?"

"Sir Lu, I heard that you were promoted, I waited at home for three days, waiting for you to report the good news to me, I just can't wait, I can't wait, I can't help it, I can only call you, you won't blame me, right?"

"Why, I was going to visit you."

"You still know to visit me, I thought you were a sheriff, and you didn't recognize me as an old person."

"How could it be..."

"Why not, even Brother Chen didn't scream, is it embarrassing to know me? Aze, you can't forget your roots, you study in the police academy, but the tuition I helped you pay, without me, there would be no you today, when you are promoted, you think you can fly solo, I can hold you up, I can pull you down. ”

Toot toot...

A busy tone came from the phone.

Lu Ze looked at the microphone in his hand, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
