Chapter 19: Surprises abound
From childhood to adulthood, Xu Xiaolan would listen to her father's opinions on many things, and facts have proved that Comrade Xu Lao is indeed a far-sighted person. Over the years, Xu Xiaolan has had a smooth ride in many things, especially in work and marriage.
She believed her father's judgment of Zhao Zimeng.
Cognition between people sometimes takes some process, before getting married, Zhao Zimeng was very disciplined, never paid attention to dress, Hefeng is a small county, and the environment in which he works and lives does not allow - nor does it support him to spend a lot of time on this matter.
Of course, young people in the nineties are still very trendy, although Zhao Zimeng is also a young person, but he is not like his peers, and he does not pursue these fashionable things.
Since he became a criminal policeman, he rarely bought new clothes, wore police uniforms when he worked, and dressed casually in life, he put all his mind on work, pondering cases when there was a case, and reading various types of books when there was no case.
He is especially fond of books related to criminal investigation, and with the accumulation of experience and knowledge, he is very handy in criminal investigation work.
Trees are born in shrubs, entangled by vines, naturally are sideways and oblique, no shape, if you are in the forest, you will inevitably compete for glory, majestic and upright.
Dressed simply does not mean that Zhao Zimeng is unkempt, he is tall and has tight muscles, which is the result of his long-term insistence on exercise, he loves his profession, and knows that the criminal police only have a mind and do not have good physical fitness.
Later, Xu Xiaolan learned that Zhao Zimeng was also a soldier, and after transferring to the local government, he has always maintained the fine traditions of the army, and he insisted on exercising every day, fighting, running, dumbbells and push-ups.
Xu Xiaolan and Zhao Zimeng are in a long-distance relationship, although Hefeng County is not far from Jingxi, Xu Xiaolan sometimes thinks about this problem, but the two of them don't care much about this.
But Xu Xiaolan's parents still hope that Zhao Zimeng can come to Jingxi, but due to the actual situation, this problem cannot be solved for the time being.
Besides, the relationship between the two children is very good, and Comrade Xu likes this "quasi-son-in-law", so it is not good for the old couple to mention this in particular, but in private they will still worry a little about their daughter's future life.
When the two young people were about to get married, Zhao Zimeng suddenly received an order from the provincial department, asking him to go to the Jingxi City Public Security Bureau to serve as the captain of the criminal investigation team.
It's a joy from the sky.
When Zhao Zimeng appeared at the gate of Xu Xiaolan's school, he was carrying very little luggage - a suitcase and a travel bag, and the suitcase and bag were books in addition to clothes, and he couldn't wait to tell Xiaolan the good news.
At that time, Xu Xiaolan was grading homework for students in the office, and the doorman in the communication room called her office and said that someone was looking for him at the door.
She hurried out in confusion, and saw a man standing at the school gate in the distance.
She looked at it, it was Zhao Zimeng, and she was still carrying two pieces of luggage in her hand, she was surprised and delighted, and at the same time she felt very surprised, she rushed to the door: "Zimeng, why are you here?" Are you here for a business trip? ”
Zhao Zimeng's face was excited, "Xiaolan, I was transferred to the criminal investigation team of the Jingxi City Public Security Bureau!" I want to be the first to tell you the good news, and I can be with you in the future! ”
"Really?" Xu Xiaolan couldn't believe her ears.
"It's true, no, the city bureau asked me to report to the team tomorrow, I came to you early this morning and wanted to make you happy." Zhao Zimeng took Xu Xiaolan's hand and looked at her with pity.
"Great, Mom and Dad must be very happy to hear the news!" Xu Xiaolan couldn't hide her joy.
"Zimeng, let's stay at my house today and accompany my parents." Xu Xiaolan expected that Zhao Zimeng would suddenly come to Jingxi, and he was afraid that he would not have a place to live for a while.
"Okay, I'll go to your house in a while, just to talk to the old man." Zhao Zimeng is not polite, in fact, there is no need to be polite, they are almost a family, so they simply save these false courtesies.
The two talked again, and then went their separate ways, Xu Xiaolan went back to continue working, and Zhao Zimeng went to his parents-in-law's house.
After a while, Zhao Zimeng came to the door of Xu Xiaolan's house, he rang the doorbell, and it was Xu Xiaolan's mother who came to open the door.
"Zimeng? What are you doing here? Mother Xu asked in surprise.
"Hello, auntie."
Comrade Xu heard that a guest was coming, and walked out of the room: "Yo! It's Zimeng! Quickly let Zimeng in. ”
The two old men looked at Zhao Zimeng and carried two pieces of luggage, guessing that he might be on a business trip.
Mother Xu enthusiastically went to pick up the travel bag in Zhao Zimeng's hand, "Auntie, Bao Shen, don't be tired of you." ”
Zhao Zimeng was afraid that the old man would be tired, so he insisted on putting the bag and box on the ground next to the hanger at the door.
Mother Xu is a persistent and cool person, she picked up the bag and wanted to take it into the house, but it turned out that the travel bag was very heavy - most of it was books, can it not sink!
Yue Lao Xu led Zhao Zimeng to the sofa and sat down.
He sat opposite him: "Zimeng, why did you suddenly come to Jingxi?" Does Xiaolan know? ”。
"Uncle, that's the case, I was transferred to the Criminal Investigation Team of the Jingxi Public Security Bureau, and I will report it tomorrow, Xiaolan already knows." Zhao Zimeng said with a smile.
"How come I haven't heard you say anything about such a big thing before!" Lao Xu looked puzzled.
"Uncle, I also felt very sudden about this, and I was not mentally prepared at all."
"That's a good thing! First, your coming to work in BWI is an opportunity for your personal progress, and you must work hard and strive to make greater achievements. ”
"Second, you and Xiaolan won't have to run at both ends in the future, which saves a lot of hard work." Lao Xu was overjoyed when he heard the news of Zhao Zimeng's transfer.
"A while ago, I went to the provincial department for a meeting, and Deputy Director Liu called me to his office, and he asked me to talk about my work at Zephyr and my future plans. I think the transfer may have something to do with that conversation. Zhao Zimeng wanted Xiaolan to share his joy with his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
"I know that Xiao Lan and I are separated, although you don't say it, but I know very well that this is unfair to Xiao Lan. Now that I have been transferred to Jingxi, you can rest assured, I will definitely be good to Xiaolan in the future. Zhao Zimeng said sincerely.
Comrade Xu understands that Zhao Zimeng is a down-to-earth and hard-working young man who loves to use his brains professionally, and he firmly believes that Zhao Zimeng will definitely make achievements in his work.
This is also the motto that Lao Xu has believed in all his life, as long as he is down-to-earth and willing to study, he will not be bad in the future.
Lao Xu didn't expect his prophecy to be confirmed so soon. This is a surprise that Zhao Zimeng gave to his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Zhao Zimeng only mentioned the matter of being transferred to the city criminal investigation team, and did not mention the matter of being the captain of the criminal investigation team, which is also in line with his always low-key nature.
In the evening, Mother Xu made a few good dishes, and Comrade Xu also took out the Yunyuan Laoheng wine that Zhao Zimeng had given before, just waiting for her daughter to come back and celebrate Zhao Zimeng.
Xu's mother also called back Xiaoqing - Xiaoqing is attending college in the city and usually lives in the school.
In the evening, the family had a happy meal and celebrated lively.
Zhao Zimeng stayed at Xu Xiaolan's house for a night - up and down the Xu family, there are many rooms and a big place.
Early the next morning, Zhao Zimeng reported to the city bureau. Director Wang personally took Zhao Zimeng to the criminal investigation team, and under the auspices of the Wang Bureau, the criminal investigation team held a welcome meeting for Zhao Zimeng.
After the welcome meeting, Section Chief Zhu of the Personnel Section handed Zhao Zimeng a key to the house, and personally drove Zhao Zimeng to see a house that had just been assigned to Zhao Zimeng in the bureau.
Before Zhao Zimeng reported to work, Director Wang personally arranged a house for Zhao Zimeng, which was a two-bedroom suite, which was specially approved by the bureau.
Now it's okay, Zhao Zimeng is really happy, he has been promoted, and he even has a house to get married.
When Section Chief Zhu followed Zhao Zimeng to Xu Xiaolan's house to pick up his luggage, Lao Xu and his lover were very surprised.
Zhao Zimeng can have a nest in western Beijing, and the problem of separation between him and his daughter after marriage has finally been solved.
So, Lao Xu and his wife went to Zhao Zimeng's new residence with Zhao Zimeng and Section Chief Zhu - the house is there, and there must be some daily necessities to live in it!
The two old men thought that the house assigned to Zhao Zimeng by the bureau was just a dormitory - not everyone who was transferred to the provincial capital could be assigned a dormitory, and it was already very good to be assigned to a dormitory.
When they walked into the dwelling, they were amazed. It turned out that Zhao Zimeng was assigned a two-bedroom suite in the bureau, which was quite good at that time.
When the old couple looked at each other and were inexplicably surprised, they heard the conversation between Section Chief Zhu and Zhao Zimeng, and the old couple understood: Zhao Zimeng is the captain of the criminal investigation team, but he didn't say a word about this matter yesterday.
"Good boy, it's too calm, and it gave us three surprises at once." Lao Xu secretly admired in his heart.
In fact, Zhao Zimeng didn't expect that the bureau would give him such a big house, he has always been confident in his work ability, and he was both surprised and felt logical to be transferred to Jingxi.
But with such treatment, he was a little flattered at this time, and secretly made up his mind that he must not live up to the expectations of the city bureau and work hard.
Originally, Xu Xiaolan told him that he would live in her house after getting married, and he was still worried about this matter for a while, but a big man couldn't give his beloved woman a home.
Now, he and Xu Xiaolan finally have their own nest.
The new residence allocated by this bureau will soon become the wedding room of Zhao Zimeng and Xu Xiaolan, and Xu Xiaolan feels extremely happy about this - it is really happiness that came too quickly and too suddenly.
When Xu Xiaolan and her mother helped Zhao Zimeng pack his suitcase and travel bag, they took out more than 50 books, a few award certificates, and two medals from them.
In the process of falling in love with Zhao Zimeng, Xu Xiaolan has never seen these awards and medals, nor has she heard Zhao Zimeng say it.
