Seeing Xiao Ye appear at the door, Chu Li was really taken aback, and even a little stunned. And when he saw Sun Lei behind him, he immediately understood what was going on. Hearing Chu Li shouting Xiao Ye, Chen Si also ran out. Xiao Ye didn't have a trace of surprise when he saw Chu Li, but the moment he saw Chen Si, his expression was slightly stiff, but he recovered in an instant. She bowed to the political commissar, Dong Rui, and Chen Si for a year, and then sat down generously. Chen Sichong blinked his eyes, smiled, and went into the kitchen again. The grandmother held Xiao Ye's hand, looked left and right, and smiled from ear to ear, as if Chen Si and Xiao Ye were her daughters-in-law. "It's a good day, girl, what's your name?"

"My surname is Ye, and my name is Ye Han."

"Sun Lei is really out of breath, the girl's spirit is very awake!"

Sun Lei put the bag of things he was carrying on the TV cabinet, then took out a pack of cigarettes and handed one to the political commissar Dong Rui, he knew that Chu Li did not smoke. Stretched out his hand and grinned and patted Chu Li on the shoulder.

The political commissar took the cigarette, tilted his head and approached the fire raised by Dong Rui, and the two covered the flame with their hands and lit the cigarette. The political commissar looked at Xiao Ye and asked with a smile: "You are not from Hubei." ”

"Well, I'm from Dongguan."

"Oh, are you still comfortable here? It's cold here. ”

"Adapt, it's okay to wear it so thick."

"Take good care of Sun Lei over there, he is a person who has a meal and a meal."

"Xiao Ye is still reading." Sun Lei rubbed his hands together.

"Oh, that's even better. He's a simple-minded, well-limbed guy. In the future, if you are a virtuous helper, we can rest assured. “

Xiao Ye smiled silently, looked around, stood up again and said, "I'll go and help, you guys talk." With that, he walked into the kitchen.

"Do you two often go together in Dongguan?"

"Not much. Lei Zi is very busy. ”

"Xiao Ye was introduced to me by Chu Li." Sun Lei smiled shyly and looked at Chu Li.

"Now, it's just a single person for Dong Rui." The political commissar pointed to Dong Rui's chest.

"Brother Li, also introduce me to it!" Dong Rui sincerely expressed envy, "It is useful to look dirty, and the girls I know are awake." ”

"It's his business to be angry, you still have to be long-eyed." The commissar was not polite. With his right hand, gently rub the ash against the edge of the ashtray. "I said, what happened to the case last time, you two?" The political commissar did not shy away from Chu Li's presence at all, and directly asked about the case.

"Tricky. Every clue is a dead end. Sun Lei looked at Dong Rui, "He is probably enough to choke over there." “

"Well, it doesn't seem to have much to do with you."

"Sharp eyes......" Dong Rui complained, and the three of them no longer discussed the details of the case.

The political commissar's house is relatively simple, the furniture is very simple and practical, the tables and cabinets are all wood colors, the sofa is also wooden, and some cotton cloth texture is placed on it to cut a very proper cushion, and the coffee table is also made of solid wood, and the political commissar and his wife do not drink tea very much, so there is no special tea set. The floor is marble, and a large beige rug is laid on top of it, which extends from under the sofa to under the coffee table. There is an old-fashioned LCD TV on the TV stand. On each side was a cabinet filled with all kinds of books. My wife turned on the air conditioner, the room was very warm and comfortable, the living room was spacious and bright, the balcony window glass was wiped very clean, and you could clearly see the snowflakes fluttering outside. Outside the window there is a lake, and in the distance there is a mountain. Chu Li is very familiar with this place, and that mountain is Qinglong Mountain Forest Park. It carries all the memories of Chu Li's first love. It is common to take a bus from Polytechnic University to Qinglongshan Park and spend a day there. I didn't go back to school until dusk, when the sun was hiding. The four years of college passed as fast as the wind, and when I finally found myself, I realized that there was nothing left. First love is also fragile like the wind, drifting separately after graduation. In retrospect, the two did not have a substantive relationship, and they were just ignorant love, limited to holding hands and kissing. And the fierce entanglement between himself and Chen Si, like a certain belief, makes him firmly believe that this is the love of his life, which is far from being achieved by his first love.

"When will Chu leave you and go back?" Dong Rui walked in from the balcony and turned around to close the sliding door while asking.

"I'm going to be in the fourth year of junior high school."

"Then you're not coming to my house?"

"We have a chance."

"Have you considered going back to Wuhan?" Dong Rui smiled mysteriously, "Anyway, my sister-in-law is also from Hubei." ”

"Let's see, I'm working over there now, and I can't help myself."

"If you want me to say, you are the food for the meal of the criminal police." Sun Lei interjected.

The political commissar glared at him, "Those who can do criminal police can do things anywhere." ”

"That's that, that's. Brother Li's brother is terrible now, and there are more than a dozen people at the bottom, right? “

"Where do you get all these broken cowhides?" Chu Li looked at Sun Lei, "I'm just a group leader." “

"There are a lot of beautiful women in your workshop, right?" Dong Rui approached and pushed himself with his elbow.

"It's okay, it's a lot."

"Sister-in-law too?"

"Almost, she's in the office, and there are a lot of young and beautiful girls in the workshop."

"Then you must have a lot of girlfriends, right?"

"You kid is not right!" The commissar said with a laugh.

Sun Lei also smiled and said, "You think Chu Li is you!" ”

"What's wrong with me? I am out of the mud and not stained. ”

"Who's Silt?" Sun Lei feigned anger.

"You!"

"The thief shouted to catch the thief."

"Why do so many young girls go to work as women instead of studying? There shouldn't be much future. Dong Rui looked at Chu Li, it was rare for him to ask such a serious question from his mouth.

Chu Li looked at the political commissar, then looked back at the kitchen, and then said: "Actually, the girls on the production line are all for some reasons, I have observed it for so long, and it is roughly divided into several categories." Most of them are due to financial reasons, they have no opportunity to study, their families do not support them, or they have younger siblings at home, or their parents are not in good health and need money for medical treatment, so they can only drop out of school. The second category is the most, I don't like to read, I may be more playful, I don't work hard, my grades are of course not good, and I can't continue to study. The objective factor is that the teaching environment is not good, and the remote and backward places are located. The third category is a relatively small number, some people have been deceived, saying how to make money in Guangdong, and they have not considered other ways to live at all. The fourth category is also the least, because of emotional factors, early love, broken love, want to escape, paralyze yourself. “

"You're talking about women, but what about men?"

"Our company has many branches in Dongguan, all of which add up to nearly 100,000 people, do you know the ratio of men to women?"

"If it's half and half, you definitely won't ask, then I'll guess three or seven points!" Dong Rui was full of interest.

"Women make up 93 percent."

"Sharp Eyes!! Then you can all these people are among the flowers! "I looked at Sun Lei." And what about age? Could it be all aunts? ”

"The average age of our workshop is no more than 22 years old. Not yet. “

"Bubble up! You~" foaming is a Wuhan dialect, referring to people bragging. "What do you mean by not being practical? You can count as many as you can. “

"Do you know how many people use fake IDs?" Sun Lei interjected.

"Who are you not to blame?"

"Can you find out? I sent you to the train station to check, how many can you check a day? “

"It's just a phenomenon in your company, right? Can it represent all? The commissar had some tea leaves in his mouth, and he bent down and pulled out a napkin.

Chu Li ignored the bickering between the two, looked at the political commissar and said, "It's really just the situation of our company, it depends on the nature of the work of the management. Heavy industry machinery products enterprises, or the type of work that needs strength, such as the warehouse that needs to be handled, and then some forklift workers, security, packaging workshops, the kind of need for men, but most of Dongguan can be said to be processing enterprises, are labor-intensive manual work, requiring fine, patience, good eyesight, so basically most of the enterprises are more women than men. They all believe that if there are more men, it will be difficult to manage, discipline and security pressure will increase, and if there are more unstable factors, employers will prefer to consider female workers. Most importantly, the wage requirements of female workers are also lower than those of male workers, and most of the pressure to support their families is still on men, and it is inevitable that a male worker will be paid a little higher than a female worker. “

Dong Rui is still more interested in age, "If the average age is so young, what is their living situation?" ”

"Life is very hard, the clothes they usually wear are factory uniforms and their own clothes, they think about it anyway, they are all dressed the same, and even dressing up is saved. The food is a canteen, our industrial park is very large, and the canteen has many consumption levels, three yuan, five yuan, ten yuan, all of them. Three yuan is basically a flower meat (one small meat) two vegetarian dishes, five yuan is two flower meat, ten yuan is a large meat, two small meat, one vegetarian. We men eat a lot, and many people go for five yuan and ten yuan, and they all buy three yuan, which is very frugal. Some engineers will deliberately chat with them, but in fact, they also take the opportunity to bring the food to share with everyone. I don't usually eat snacks, I don't know in the dormitory, they are absolutely not allowed to eat when they are working on the production line, and we sometimes buy some chocolates for them to treat, even if it is a small surprise. The collective dormitory is 6~8 people per room, and the dormitory of some factories has more people. The bed is the kind of bunk bed like our school, there is no privacy at all, the working hours are long, basically twelve hours is very normal, many people only have one day off a month in order to get more overtime pay. I asked them why they didn't have a good rest and a better job. They said that they would definitely have to spend money when they rested, shopping, buying clothes, shopping, transportation expenses, etc., it was better to work here quietly, and there were sisters chatting anyway. I never take a taxi when I go out, I always take the bus, I don't sit with the snowflake symbol (with air conditioning), I don't sit on the green train when I want to go home during the New Year's holidays, and now there are many places where the Harmony bullet train is and it is an express car, but I see that they are reluctant to buy. Some people will take a bus cheaply, which is very unsafe and inconvenient for single girls who are out of town. You should have seen on TV that tens of thousands of people in Guangzhou have returned to their hometowns on motorcycles, and this is not an exaggeration. “

"That's understandable." Although Dong Rui came from a wealthy background, he has been training at the grassroots level for many years and already knows the hardships of the people.

The political commissar interjected and said: "I saw a news item in the newspaper about a reporter who went to the mountains to interview a single mother, living in a dim and damp little mud house, with no electric light, bringing a glimmer of light through a broken window, and a two- or three-year-old child sitting on a wet quilt with a big bowl in his hand and a bowl of instant noodles. The reporter kindly said, 'You can't always give your child this', but the mother said, 'I don't always eat, today is the child's birthday, and she has wanted to eat it for a long time'. You are all running at the grassroots level, and if you don't understand it, it's really hard for you to believe that the junk food you think will be the food that this kid has been thinking about for a long time and can't eat until his birthday. ”

Chu Li nodded, "We are tired of living a daily life, and some people may work hard, but the future is unreachable." After glancing at Dong Rui, he returned to the age he was interested in.

"The overall average age is complicated when it comes to spreading out, although going south to work doesn't look very promising, and there is a lot of work to make a living. But who doesn't have a dream? After all, some people have been promoted in the workshop, as team leaders, supervisors, managers, very few smart and diligent people can indeed do it, and some are married to engineers, after all, they are well educated, they have their own career plans, and after a few years, they will live comfortably, and then some of them have seen the society, and they have found business opportunities, and so on These precedents have pointed them out the way and made them see hope. But the reality is more cruel, ten people who come to Dongguan, nine and a half can only go home with a year's salary, and next year is just another year, so that after three or five years, many people's original momentum has been smoothed out, tired of it, and there is no hope that they will enter another field. So when he was seventeen or eighteen, he went back at twenty-two or twenty-three. Then another group of new people came and went. That's it. ”

Dong Rui nodded, thoughtful. "Then you mean to say that the whole Dongguan has flourished and the yang has declined?"

"Not really. Many women workers are married at a very early age. In remote and impoverished places, take our Hubei as an example, many girls get married at nineteen or twenty. If she wants to go out to work, her husband will definitely not be at ease, so some of them go south with his wife. These young men find jobs, but as I said earlier, they are all in favor of female workers, so some of them will become unemployed, or unemployed. “

"Chu Li is right, the mobility is very great, today he is in Guangzhou, tomorrow he will go to find his fellow villagers to Dongguan, the day after tomorrow to Huizhou, the day after tomorrow to Foshan, the public security instability factors will come out. A lot of what we deal with is in this kind of identity context. They live together one by one according to their origins, and slowly form gangs, Hunan Gang, Sichuan Gang, Northeast, Henan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Jiangxi, and they can be separated by listening to the accent. The wife has a salary, how many are willing to raise a big man? These people are in a hurry, and they can't find a job with few people at hand, so they slowly go the wrong way. There are more robberies, now a mobile phone is also thousands, an earring is hundreds, a necklace is one or two thousand, a women's bag can be snatched down to get four or five hundred, lucky to meet the payday, two or three thousand will be in hand, so the car robbery, bus robbery, burglary, everything. To be honest, it's not that we're incompetent, it's that the police aren't enough. The most is the speeding car robbery, many people call the police are covering their ears, and some are dragged on the ground The pants are worn out, embarrassed, we don't have much to do, the monitoring is not enough, the development is too fast, many places are too late to control, people are pouring in. “

Chu Li nodded, and took Sun Lei's words, "There is a girl in our company, she is an engineer, she is small, because she has a boyfriend, so she rents a house outside...... Let's not talk about the remoteness, there are really not many people, but it's also a street. One morning, she was elbowed to her throat from behind, and then another person snatched her phone and bag, and she cried all the way to the office. And the most bizarre thing is that the next day, on the same road, at the same intersection, was intercepted by two men, one man was sitting on a motorcycle, and the other was holding a controlled knife, and asked her to hand over the newly bought mobile phone. People can't cry anymore. ”

"What you just talked about is a speeding car robbery, but what about the characteristics of bus robbery and burglary?"

Sun Lei extinguished the cigarette butt and said, "I haven't seen the bus robbery, but the informant said that several people stopped them and searched their bodies and bags." As you can imagine, it's very rampant. “

Chu Li moved his mouth, but swallowed his words back.

"If you are so arrogant, the driver and the conductor won't stop it?" Dong Rui was a little angry, and his fingers clicked on the coffee table to make a knocking sound.

"Because they are all gangs, seven or eight people at a time, a few people guard the front door, a few people guard the back, and the driver dares to be angry and dare not speak."

"Actually, people, it's not about themselves, we have the most people like this around us." Chu Li nodded, "But even if it's one or two men, they haven't been trained, so they can't easily manage this matter." “

"Brother Li, have you also encountered it?"

Chu Li didn't speak.

"If this happens to Brother Li, even if those people are unlucky." Sun Lei said with a smile.

The commissar coughed. Dong Rui and Sun Lei both had a tacit understanding to shut up.

"It's more dangerous to commit a crime in a house, I heard from the reporter last year that the three of them, ahem, ......, three men! I was sleeping, at twelve o'clock in the evening, I heard that the window was opened, and the anti-theft window outside was also opened, and then I came in to estimate two people, and the three of them did not dare to open their eyes, and took away a laptop, a few packs of cigarettes, and a wallet, a mobile phone, and then it was estimated that the person sleeping inside was a man and left quickly. “

"This is too cowardly, isn't it, and the three men won't resist?"

"You're wrong, they did the right thing, what if they brought a knife?" Chu Li whispered.

Dong Rui and Sun Lei's eyes widened, they couldn't believe that these words came from Chu Li's mouth. "Brother Li's brother has really changed, which is a good thing."

Chu Li smiled and did not continue to speak.

"You said that men dare to enter, but if they are women, it is better to have both people and money?" Dong Rui stood with his hands on the back of the wooden sofa, one hand supporting his cheeks.

"Ordinary girls don't dare to rent a house outside, unless they have a boyfriend, even if they want to rent, it's next to the industrial park."

"Can you rent a house far from the industrial park?"

"I'm fine, I'm renting a house from the Xiao Ye family." Chu Li regretted it as soon as he said it.

"You know Xiao Ye?" Dong Rui was so shocked that his cheek-holding hand slipped down.

"Xiao Ye was introduced to me by Brother Li, I just said it." Sun Lei lowered his head a little embarrassed.

Chu Li glanced at Sun Lei. The afterglow of his eyes found the eagle-like eyes of the political commissar.

"Okay, you all take care of each other, but no one cares about me?" Dong Rui ran to Chu Li's side and took out one hand to lock Chu Li's throat, and the other hand stuck his wrist, forming a standard triangular throat. Chu Li pretended that he couldn't support it, and patted the armrest of the sofa a few times before letting go.

"Are you a dead glass?" Sun Lei laughed.

"Do you want to try your throat lock?" Dong Rui said tentatively in front of Sun Lei with his hand.

"If you take two three-legged cats, it's better to die glass!" Now even the commissar laughed.

Dong Rui dragged the fat and short body to lock Sun Lei, the two scuffled, the political commissar looked at Chu Li, and waved his head to the study. Motioned for him to enter the study.

After Chu Li entered the door, he turned around and closed the door, and when he turned around, he saw the slightly angry face of the political commissar.

"Are you fighting with people in a nightclub in Dongguan?"

Chu Centrifugal said badly, Sun Lei, this kid hasn't changed at all for so many years, he just likes to make small reports. Think about how to explain it.

"Chivalrous again?" The commissar's trademark squint, slanted mouth, and a mocking smile. "Do you think that the police in the world are inferior to you, and the world will be miserable without you? Why don't you just call the police, and then don't get involved yourself? Sun Lei took people in to fish people out, they should be arrested and closed, and some people did these things. You're not a member of the police force now, and you've even committed crimes. If Sun Lei arrives a little late, you may die! The commissar stretched out his fist and slammed it on the table. Eyebrows raised, "You think you are brave and strategic, have you thought about it, if you break someone, do you have any evidence that you are justified in defense, and you are going in again!" You should be an engineer, earn some money, find a girlfriend, raise a family, and take care of your mother. That's what you should do! What are you tossing around all day long? “

The commissar lowered his head and stopped talking.

Chu Li nodded, "Commissar, I know it's wrong." I'm just worried about their safety. “

"There are some things that you can't do alone." His tone softened, and he looked up at Chu Li again, "You are a good person, but the more important thing is to be steady, don't let yourself mess up in everything, and don't let yourself fall into that kind of dilemma." The political commissar's voice became a lot higher with the mood swings, "Once something happens, who else can you be involved?" Burdening Mom? Or is it affecting someone around you? Little girl Chen Si? “

"Knock knock......" Hearing a knock on the door, the political commissar motioned for Chu to leave the door.

"Uncle, aunt told you to lay out the table and get ready to eat." Chen Si stood at the door, his eyes wide.

"Oh, got it, I'll be right here." The political commissar's face turned 180 degrees cloudy, and he said with a smile. After seeing Chen Si leaving, he pricked up his ears and listened to the footsteps for a while, before he shouted at Chu Li in a suppressed voice: "No matter what happens in the future, call your senior brother." Don't handle it yourself, you know? ”

Chu Li nodded.

My wife's meal was very rich and delicious, with six dishes and one soup, full of color, flavor and flavor. The red tamales are filled with the mellow aroma of glutinous rice, and the steamed mandarin fish is beautifully placed with shredded onions, garlic and ginger neatly cut as thin as a hair. The bean paste dumplings are the most special, the golden coat should be rolled into a skin with corn flour and noodles, and the fresh red bean paste is filled with honey, and the stacks are like gold ingots. The white and green golden needle celery has a hint of medicinal taste after frost in winter. The soup with spinach and kelp pork ribs soup should be Xiaoye's masterpiece and is full of Cantonese flavors. In the end, the wife brought up a casserole with anti-scald gloves, filled with a suffocating aroma of meat, lifted the lid, the mist steamed, and everyone looked for flowers in the fog, it turned out to be pork belly chicken that had not been eaten for many years.

Dong Rui and Sun Lei are in a hurry. Standing and about to start eating, Xiao Ye and Chen Si pretended to be ladies and stood next to them, and the political commissar didn't know where to turn out a bottle of wine, which was a bottle of old wine.

Chu Li recognized it at a glance. It was my father's favorite white cloud edge of 42 degrees. His only indulgence is his love for wine, and he often says: You can laugh a few times in your life, and you must get drunk when you meet in a wine fight. And he has never been drunk, he is that kind of person, even if he is the only indulgence to himself, he is full of restraint and forbearance.

The political commissar said happily: "Come, let's taste the white clouds of the past fifteen years." ”

The master beckoned Xiao Ye and Chen Si to sit down, although the table was not big, and everyone was slightly crowded together, but it could be seen that everyone was very happy. Chu Li picked up the wine glass, but he couldn't laugh, and he didn't want to get drunk, his father said that this wine has three flavors, it smells clear, it is strong to drink, and it is sweet. And at this moment, I couldn't ask about any fragrance, and I glanced down at the wine glass, but my eyes were blurred with tears.
