Chapter Twenty-Six: Meeting with Fa Xiaoxi
Shi Wenhua didn't answer, took off Tang Boqiang's checked luggage from the car, and said to Tang Boqiang: "Brother Qiang, let's go." With that, he walked to a police car parked next to him.
"Hehe, Brother Culture, you will really give me a long face, I have never been in such a good car, this is not a prisoner's car, right?" Tang Boqiang teased happily.
"Hehe, what kind of car to catch prisoners, this is my special car, although it is a little old, but it is no problem to use, it is convenient for work. Of course, it is inevitable to balance public and private affairs. "Stone culture has no secrets.
After a while, the car arrived at the dormitory building of the Criminal Police Brigade. Duty officers and bachelors live here, and the family quarters are built in another part of Bay City, not far from here.
Shi Wenhua carried his luggage and led Tang Boqiang up to a room on the third floor, and when he opened the door, Tang Boqiang's eyes suddenly lit up.
The dormitory is placed against the wall with two iron beds, two office desks next to the bed, a ceiling fan on the top that is rotating briskly, and then there is a separate bathroom and kitchen inside, which looks like a home, which is thousands of times better than the dormitory when Tang Boqiang was studying.
"Okay, you're a stone culture, and you're living a good life." Tang Boqiang said enviously.
"Hehe, it's really good, for those of us, it's already very satisfying." Shi Wenhua pointed to a few boiling kettles in the kitchen as he spoke, "These hot waters have been boiled, you go take a bath first, refresh yourself, and the meal will be ready immediately." ”
After sitting in the car for more than 10 hours, Tang Boqiang's face was already full of dust and exhaustion. Hearing what Shi Wenhua said, he didn't care so much, he immediately took a change of clothes, carried a boiling kettle to the bathroom, and used a large plastic bucket in the bathroom to adjust the temperature of the water and began to take a bath. This is a typical way of bathing in Octagonal Town, and Tang Boqiang is very familiar with it.
After taking a shower and drying his clothes, Tang Boqiang sat down on a bed shirtless, wearing the shorts he often wears in summer. At this time, Shi Wenhua was also busy in the kitchen after changing his clothes, and when he heard Tang Boqiang's voice, Shi Wenhua said loudly: "Wait a while, it will be right away." ”
As soon as the words fell, before Tang Boqiang could ask if he needed help, Shi Wenhua had already come out with the dishes and placed them on a square table that had already been opened. Green vegetables, fried fish, stir-fried lean meat, conch soup, rice and two wine glasses were placed one by one, Shi Wenhua also went to the bathroom to wash his hands, wiped his sweat, and then came out and said to Tang Boqiang: "Come on, come on, our brothers haven't eaten together for a long time, I know you don't drink, beer shouldn't be a big problem, let's drink a little, drink and eat while chatting, anyway, there is nothing to do tonight." ”
Tang Boqiang was also unceremonious, pulled over the chair and sat face to face with Shi Wenhua. Shi Wenhua had already poured the beer, put a glass in front of Tang Boqiang, and then picked up his own glass and said to Tang Boqiang: "Come, toast to our past, present and future!" After saying that, he drank it all, Tang Boqiang also paused proudly, picked up the wine glass and prepared to drink it all, Shi Wenhua hurriedly said: "You are free, I know you never drink, don't be too violent." ”
"Brother, what a good brother for me!" Tang Boqiang sighed, but he was not reckless, and took a sip.
The two of them chatted while eating. Tang Boqiang only took a closer look at Qishi culture at this time: his handsome appearance is still so handsome, but it adds a unique masculinity of a soldier, and a temperament that is different from when he was a child, which makes people feel not angry and arrogant. Looking at it, Tang Boqiang couldn't help but blurt out: "You are really handsome, you have a girlfriend, right?" ”
"No, I'm counting on you. In the future, you will work in the hospital, and I heard that there are many nurses in the hospital, so you should pay attention to me, as long as you are in the picture, it should not be bad, please bother more. Shi Wenhua drank a glass of wine and squinted his eyes and said to Tang Boqiang.
"Of course, I will definitely do my best, I don't believe that my talented brother can't find a good wife." Tang Boqiang said without hesitation and was full of confidence.
Shi Wenhua raised his glass again and said, "Then wait for Brother Qiang's good news." "Then he drank it all in one go. Tang Boqiang saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart. Although he didn't know what kind of environment Shi Wenhua needed to face and how much pressure he needed to face in his work, as a medical student and about to become a doctor, he knew how alcoholism could harm his body.
Waiting for Shi Wenhua to put down the wine glass, Tang Boqiang stared at him and said: "Culture, our brothers can have today, it is all thanks to the blessing of reform and opening up." Especially me, if I didn't have this opportunity, I would definitely not be able to leave the small place of Bajiao Town in the future, let alone be able to work and live in Bay City today, so we must cherish it, not only to cherish this job and opportunity, but also to cherish our body, because without a healthy body, everything else is a floating cloud. We haven't seen each other for so long, to be honest, I don't know how important drinking is to you, but I know how damaging alcohol is to your body, tonight I will listen to my brother's words, quit drinking, I believe in your perseverance, as long as you are determined to do something, you will be able to do it. ”
Shi Wenhua was stunned at first, and then stared at Tang Boqiang, silence was only a matter of moments, and Shi Wenhua immediately responded.
He stretched out his hand over the square table, put it on Tang Boqiang's shoulder, and said, "Thank you, Brother Qiang." After returning from the army for so long, no one has ever said such heartfelt words to me. Maybe it's because I'm in this position, or maybe it's the rules of officialdom, they all like to salute the leader with a glass of wine every time they eat, level by level. At first, I was not used to it, but slowly I got used to it, my subordinates respected me, I respected my superiors, and sometimes I enjoyed the feeling of being respected by others. Oh, man, it's strange that vanity kills people. Speaking of this, Shi Wenhua let go of his hand, put away all the wine glasses and bottles on the table, and then sat down again and said to Tang Boqiang: "Listen to you, start to quit drinking tonight, you will supervise, our brothers will be in a city in the future, and we will be like we were as unrestrained as we were when we were children." As for me, just be an alternative official, and you, just be an alternative doctor. ”
Tang Boqiang and Shi Wenhua never expected that Shi Wenhua's words would become a word, this is a later story, and I will express it later.
"Oh, by the way, what's your schedule?" Shi Wenhua asked.
"I haven't been home in over a year and I miss home. Tomorrow, I will go through the registration procedures, and then go home to take a three-week state-chartered vacation, and then officially go to work after the vacation. Tang Boqiang said.
"Okay, I've already arranged tomorrow's work, anyway, there's nothing to do lately. I'll take you to get a haircut tomorrow morning, and then I'll accompany you to report for duty, I'm now a landlord in Bay City, just follow me. Hehe, look at you, your hair has grown like this, it's not good to report like this, besides, if you go home like this, your father must say that you are a hairy thief again. "Stone culture seems to have been arranged for a long time.
"Hahaha, you remember my dad's words. It's true that I've been busy with all kinds of things after the exam, and I haven't bothered about getting a haircut. Listen to you, I'll follow you as you arrange. Tang Boqiang was very relieved that Shi Wenhua still remembered the details of his childhood that only the two of them understood.
