Chapter II: Police Academy
After the outbreak of the civil war, Hong Kong received a large number of fleeing immigrants, and in 1949 it was the peak period, when a large number of soldiers fled to Hong Kong.
Hong Kong's law and order has also been seriously tested for a while. In order to maintain the long-term peace and stability of Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Police Force finally decided to expand the number of police officers.
Zhang Xiaofan signed up for the police academy at this time, and Lei Luo signed up only one day earlier than himself. According to the report, there are hundreds of applicants, but the actual number of students enrolled in this phase is only 50. The enrollment ratio is 10 to 1. In fact, Zhang Xiaofan got up early in the morning and felt that when the registration office of the police academy was already crowded, but looking at the old and young around him, and even some women were miserably mixed, he knew that it was not easy for Hong Kong people to make a living.
Relying on his excellent skills, Zhang Xiaofan still stood out easily, and received an admission notice in the afternoon, and before the weekend, he went to the Wong Chuk Hang Police Academy for a half-year special training, and those who passed could officially become a member of the Royal Police.
There are still three days left before the special training, that is, I still have three days to continue to collect money.
After three busy days, Zhang Xiaofan wandered around dozens of gambling stalls, and his worth has increased from the original 100 yuan small household, and the deposit has increased to 100,000 yuan.
When the salary of an ordinary police officer was only 110 yuan, Zhang Xiaofan's savings were as high as 100,000 yuan, which was already an astronomical amount, and you must know that it was only one or two cents for a meal.
"Uncle Shan, Uncle Lou, I respect you for this glass," Zhang Xiaofan raised his glass with a smile, he was about to enter the police academy, and the surrounding neighbors should also have a good exchange, taking advantage of the opportunity of his own special training, let the neighbors Uncle Shan and Uncle Lou arrange twenty tables of wine banquets.
The people who came to drink the wine were all neighbors, and the system gave Zhang Xiaofan the identity, but this time it was not messed up, not only gave him a suite, but also gave him a good popularity.
Twenty tables of banquets, dozens of neighbors around the neighborhood have come. This time, the banquet cost 500 yuan, which directly made Uncle Shan and Uncle Lou feel that Zhang Xiaofan was very bold in doing things.
Twenty-five yuan for a table, you must know that the hotel order is only one yuan, and now this is a first-class banquet.
Zhang Xiaofan didn't spend the money as money, but Uncle Shan and Uncle Lou didn't dare to waste the money at will, saying that they were helping to arrange it, but in fact, the twenty-table banquet only cost more than 300 yuan, and there was still more than 100 yuan left, and they only waited for the banquet to end, and then returned the money to Zhang Xiaofan.
Zhang Xiaofan toasted, and the two of them also raised their glasses, and the three of them dried up in one go.
People are in good spirits on happy occasions, Zhang Xiaofan can be a policeman, and most of these neighbors are proud, after all, there is a person in the system around him.
Zhang Xiaofan accompanied the old man at the main table to drink three rounds, and then toasted a round of wine in turn, and began to toast at each wine table in turn. Even if he has strong mental strength, the more alcohol he drinks, the more he can't rule it out, and Zhang Xiaofan's brain is also cloudy.
In the end, I only remember being carried into the nest by two hair children, and everyone dispersed, and I didn't know.
"Brother Fan, you're awake!"
As soon as Zhang Xiaofan's eyes opened, a bald guy came over with a hippie smile, turned his head suddenly, and spit out yellow water again, and saw the vomit on the ground covered by soot, so he knew that he didn't drink less last night.
"Lizai, why are you here?"
"Brother Fan, you don't remember, you drank dimly yesterday, my dad asked me to stay and take care of you, by the way, there is also a fine boy, but I let him go to sleep."
Li Zai and Xi Zai are their playmates, Zhang Xiaofan thought for a while, stretched out his hand, asked Li Zai to help him up, touched the empty stomach, and felt that the headache seemed to be a little aggravated.
The eyes were slightly swollen, and in the dark night, the nest was only lit by a kerosene lamp, which looked dim and uncertain. However, Li Zai still helped Zhang Xiaofan very carefully to make a stool and poured another bowl of herbal tea.
After drinking herbal tea in one go, Zhang Xiaofan was slightly lucky, in three or four days, even if he cultivated the Yijin Cleansing Sutra, his physical fitness would not improve so quickly.
But I have regained some spirits.
"Brother Fan, if you want something, I'll get it!" Li Zai saw Zhang Xiaofan's eyes searching around, and rushed forward to ask.
"Is there anything to eat, my stomach is a little empty."
"Yes, yes, before they left, my aunts and aunts had already packed up the meals, by the way, my dad gave a lot of meals to the neighbors, and only left a little for you, but it was enough to eat, he said, you have to go to the police academy today to report, you have left too much, and you can't store it, it will be broken."
Lizai's father is Uncle Shan, Zhang Xiaofan nodded and asked him to help him get the vegetables.
Five large plates of braised pork and a pot of sweet soup, Zhang Xiaofan asked Li Zai to prepare some herbal tea, and then asked Li Zai to wake up Xi Zai.
Xi Tsai is the younger brother of Li Tsai.
Uncle Shan has a total of five children, two boys and three girls, Li Tsai is the eldest son, there are two older sisters above, and one younger sister and one younger brother below.
The eldest sister's name is Xu Xiu'e, and she has been added to the neighborhood, and the second sister's name is Xu Xiuhui, who works in a nearby church, and although her appearance is ordinary, her personality is very virtuous.
The third sister is called Xu Xiuli, and she is doing some chores with Lizai's mother in a fish stall.
Xi Zai walked over, his face was timid and shy, but he was still more kind to Zhang Xiaofan and his brother.
"Come, accompany me to dinner," Zhang Xiaofan poured a bowl of cold dishes for the two, and the two hurriedly took it, speaking of which, Zhang Xiaofan's ancestral identity has a bit of a background, and he seems to be a big official in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but his family is in the middle of the road, so he went to Hong Kong to be a commoner.
But even so, after Zhang Xiaofan's ability to take out 500 Hong Kong dollars yesterday, he also let the surrounding neighbors know that the dead camel was bigger than the horse. Even if Zhang Xiaofan's family background falls, the foundation will be exhausted for a while and a half.
In addition, Zhang Xiaofan was admitted to the police academy again, and Uncle Shan directly told his family that the Zhang family might take advantage of the situation to recover.
But that's all gossip.
Zhang Xiaofan just talked to Li Zai and Xi Zai, and finally waited for the head to stop hurting, before it ended, Zhang Xiaofan took out fifty yuan, and gave Li Zai and Xi Zai, just one request, the two children plus Xu Xiuli must go to school to read and write, preferably in English.
Science and technology are the primary productive forces, and knowledge should not be underestimated.
Li Zai and Xi Zai have no views on major events in life, but they are still very convinced of Zhang Xiaofan, the main reason is not only that Zhang Xiaofan took the two of them from childhood to adulthood, but also that his second sister and Zhang Xiaofan seem to be a little in love.
Xu Xiuhui is only eighteen years old this year, works in a church, and has a salary of twenty or thirty yuan a month, although it is not much, but it is enough to subsidize the family. When I go home on weekdays, my attitude towards Zhang Xiaofan can only be regarded as average, but Li Zai saw it during the day yesterday when Brother Fan hugged his sister and kissed him.
In this regard, Zhang Xiaofan could only shout that he was wronged.
Yesterday, in fact, when I was busy preparing for the evening banquet, I accidentally fell a little gray in my eyes, so I asked Xu Xiuhui next to me to help blow it, maybe the two were too close to each other, and they were mistaken by Lizai.
No matter what, what Zhang Xiaofan said, Li Zai decided to spare no effort to complete. Besides, going to school is not a big deal, and it is not a chore.
After everything was arranged, Zhang Xiaofan finally came to the police academy in Wong Chuk Hang, and more than a dozen people had already come one after another, and Lei Luo, played by Andy, was also among them, sitting idly on a stone step, chatting with other classmates.
"Hello everyone, my name is Zhang Xiaofan, I am from Kowloon City, I hope you will take care of it more," Zhang Xiaofan opened his mouth, which directly attracted everyone's attention, of course, what was more attractive was the paper bag in his hand.
I opened the paper bag, and there were more than ten catties of braised pork in it, all of which were left over from yesterday's uneaten finish.
The students are basically from poor backgrounds, this kind of braised pork is one or two pieces a catty, but few people often eat it, since someone has a treat, plus it is a classmate, it must be no problem to eat a bite.
More than a dozen people greeted each other with a smile and came over.
There were talking and laughing, more than a dozen people quickly completed their self-introduction, Zhang Xiaofan memorized everyone's names attentively, and after a while, the remaining students also came.
Because the teaching building was not open, they all got together and began to eat the braised pork brought by Zhang Xiaofan, even if there were a few envious and jealous students occasionally, it was harmless.
Zhang Xiaofan just slowly understood the temperament of these people, but he just wanted to see if he could find the foundation of the team in the future.
There are four irons in life: we have been through the window together, we have carried a gun together, we have prostituted together, and we have shared the stolen goods together.
Although it's a bit ridiculous, if you want to build a good team, you can really only find it from these four kinds of people, and the famous armies in history are basically formed by fellow villagers and classmates.
Why?
It is because the emotional foundation of fellow villagers and classmates is easier to build.
It's just that after having a meal together, everyone opened their mouths to introduce themselves, and at this time, the police academy finally came.
