70. Utilization
"Uncle Yonggui, let's talk as we go."
Chen Qing, who stood up, said to Chen Zhengzhong's co-workers.
The co-worker named Zhou Yonggui, who is about the same age as Chen Zhengzhong, is in his 40s, and also lives in Nanba District, but it is some distance from the place where Chen Qing's family rents.
At the beginning, the Chen family had just come to Qianyang for almost half a year, and after experiencing the stage of unfamiliarity with life, Chen Zhengzhong met many workers, so he often invited these workers back for dinner, hoping to develop interpersonal relationships.
But after inviting for a period of time, I found that these workers basically only went in and couldn't get out, and Chen Zhengzhong had never been invited back and forth, so he stopped inviting them later.
However, on weekdays, Chen Zhengzhong still has contact with these workers, and when everyone receives a job, if the construction period is too rushed, when there is a shortage of people, they will call other carpenters to help, and take a hand, which is regarded as a relationship of helping each other at work.
The original body had naturally seen Zhou Yonggui before, so Chen Qing, who had inherited the memory of the original body, could also call the other party's name.
"Good!"
Hearing Chen Qing's words, Zhou Yonggui, who ran back a little gasping, nodded, and then said, "Remember...... Remember to bring the medicine money, your dad said that there is a mezzanine under the bed in the back room, and his money is usually kept in it. ”
"No, I have money."
After Chen Qing heard this, he said lightly.
Then he walked around the small table full of dishes in front of him and walked outside.
Hearing his words, Zhou Yonggui was stunned.
But since Chen Qing said so, he didn't say anything, turned around and walked out of the house.
After that, after Chen Qing locked the door, the two walked down the corridor to the end of the corridor.
As Chen Qing walked, he asked, "Uncle Yonggui, what's the matter?" Which clinic is my dad in now? ”
From beginning to end, Chen Qing was very calm.
On the one hand, because he was not the real original after all, and on the other hand, he felt that things were a little strange.
It doesn't happen sooner, it doesn't happen later, but on the day of the summer recruitment of the patrol room, this kind of thing happened after he was on the list, which is too much of a coincidence.
If it weren't for the targeted kicking of the four foreigners by the four outsiders when he was in the Tiger Gate before, he might not be so strange, after all, there is indeed a coincidence in this world.
But now, he thinks it's a little unusual.
"Here's the thing......"
Hearing Chen Qing's inquiry, Zhou Yonggui did not hide it, and while walking, he told Chen Qing the ins and outs of the matter.
It's actually quite simple.
Recently, Zhou Yonggui and Chen Zhengzhong worked together, making wardrobes, cabinets, bed cabinets, tables and chairs for a family in Yunyang District who was preparing to get married.
Originally, it was just a simple carpentry job, and all kinds of new cabinets and furniture were quickly made, and they were about to enter the final stage.
But today, the bride of this family found that the jade wrench that the man had given was said to be an ancestral heirloom was missing!
Suddenly, the house exploded.
Start rummaging around your home!
Then, they found the jade wrench at the bottom of Chen Zhengzhong's toolbox.
So, the family thought that Chen Zhengzhong stole it.
And the bride's younger brother is a gang member of the Iron Fist Society, and in a fit of rage, he picked up the stool that Chen Zhengzhong had just made and beat Chen Zhengzhong to the head and bleed, and the salary was not settled.
At this time, Chen Zhengzhong was bandaging in a medical center near Yunyang, but because on weekdays, Chen Zhengzhong did not bring extra money with him except for food money.
In addition, Yunyang District is the center of Qianyang City, and the cost of the medical center is more expensive than that of other districts, so Chen Zhengzhong and Zhou Yonggui can't afford to pay for the medical expenses with the money combined, so they have to let Chen Zhengzhong stay in the medical center as a "hostage", and let Zhou Yonggui come to Nanba District to call Chen Qing to bring money.
After listening to Zhou Yonggui's description, Chen Qing suddenly frowned.
This sounds like it's just an ordinary thing, and there is nothing trivial about the family's desire to rely on their wages.
Is it because you are thinking too much?
The thought welled up, but he didn't make a judgment.
When Zhou Yonggui told him what happened, the two also came to Yunyang District all the way from Nanba District.
During this period, maybe it was too early, or maybe the two of them were lucky and didn't encounter the kind of squatting and robbing while it was dark.
After entering Yunyang District, there were street lights and patrols on the road, and the two of them had no safety concerns, and their feet accelerated and walked towards the medical hall where Chen Zhengzhong was.
"Right ahead!"
When the two came to a street called Zhongcao Road in Yunyang District, near Hexi District, Zhou Yonggui pointed to a lighted medical center with an open door along the street and said.
After Chen Qing saw this, he didn't speak, and walked straight to this medical hall.
After getting closer, standing at the door, Chen Qing saw Chen Zhengzhong sitting on a chair inside, with his head wrapped around by yellowed old gauze.
On one side of Chen Zhengzhong's cheek, there were still traces of dried dark red blood.
At this time, he was looking ahead in a daze, his eyes wandering, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Seeing this scene, Chen Qing's originally calm face slowly became gloomy.
He learned from Zhou Yonggui that when Chen Zhengzhong was beaten by his employer, he actually didn't have much feeling in his heart.
But when he saw Chen Zhengzhong like this, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart.
Although he is not actually the original.
Although this little old man has not communicated with him much in the few months he has traveled over.
But he still remembers that when he proposed to learn boxing, the other party was fiercely opposed on the surface, but in fact, after asking clearly, he didn't say anything more, and he didn't mention the silence that asked him to pay the money.
And when he came back from practicing boxing every day, he had actually had dinner at Huxingmen, but the other party still insisted on burning his share of food silently every day.
Why should such a cold-faced and hot-hearted person be beaten like this, and he can't get the salary he deserves?!
Chen Qing's eyes narrowed slightly unconsciously, and he asked coldly, "Uncle Yonggui, where is that family?" ”
Zhou Yonggui, who was originally following behind Chen Qing and was about to go in, couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Chen Qing's words, he looked back at Chen Qing and persuaded: "Ah Qing, don't be impulsive, that person is from the Iron Fist Society, and we ordinary people can't afford to mess with him." ”
"It's okay, I've been admitted to the patrol room."
Chen Qing looked at him and said, "Besides, Uncle Yonggui, don't you want to be paid?" ”
"You were admitted to the patrol room?!"
Zhou Yonggui looked surprised and said, "Really fake?!" ”
"Naturally, it's true, you go to the door of the patrol room now and look at the poster posted on it, and my name is on it."
Chen Qing replied lightly.
Hearing Chen Qing's words, seeing Chen Qing's confident appearance, Zhou Yonggui, who was still a little hesitant, immediately raised his hand and pointed to an alley across the street and said, "It's in that alley!" Go inside, the one with red lanterns and the word "Xi" is easy to find! Ah Qing, you must help us get our wages back! ”
Speaking of the back, Zhou Yonggui begged.
They helped the family to build all kinds of cabinets, tables and chairs, and if they couldn't get the money, they would not only lose the wages, but also the delay in the construction period.
For the poor migrant workers living in Nanba, this means that they will have to tighten their pockets for the next two months, and they may even run out of food!
Therefore, Zhou Yonggui, who had already planned to consider himself unlucky, immediately changed his attitude after hearing that Chen Qing had been admitted to the patrol room.
Chen Qing looked in the direction he was pointing, nodded clearly, and replied, "Okay, I see." ”
Just as the two were talking at the door, Chen Zhengzhong, who was sitting inside, also heard the conversation between the two and looked over.
After seeing the two of them, he got up and walked over.
But before he could take a few steps, an apprentice from the medical hall trotted out from behind the counter and said, "Eh, you haven't paid yet, don't go!" ”
"How much?"
Chen Qing walked into the medical hall and asked.
"Hemostatic powder and bandaged old gauze, a total of eight yuan."
The infirmary apprentice spoke.
After hearing this, Chen Qing reached out and took out a ten-yuan bill to pay the medical hall apprentice.
After the medical hall apprentice took it, he said, "Wait a minute, I'll give you change." ”
With that, he walked to the counter.
During the other party's change, Chen Qing looked at Chen Zhengzhong and asked, "Dad, how can that family's jade wrench be in your toolbox?" ”
"What? Do you suspect that I stole it? ”
Chen Zhengzhong snorted coldly.
Chen Qing, who was accustomed to Chen Zhengzhong's temper, shook his head and said: "No, I suspect that this family doesn't want to settle your wages, so I deliberately framed you, and I want you to think about who in this family touched your toolbox today." ”
Hearing Chen Qing's words, Chen Zhengzhong's face softened.
But then, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, don't." ”
As soon as his words fell, Zhou Yonggui on the side hurriedly said: "How can you not want to!" The two of us have been doing this for more than a month! Lao Chen, your son is now admitted to the patrol room, you are still afraid of a ball! ”
"Admitted to the patrol room?"
Chen Zhengzhong was stunned when he heard this, and after glancing at Zhou Yonggui, he looked at Chen Qing again and asked, "Have you been admitted to the patrol room?!" ”
"Hmm."
Chen Qing nodded.
"How is that possible?!"
Chen Zhengzhong said with a look of surprise on his face.
At this moment, the medical hall apprentice came over with two yuan, he looked at Chen Qing in the same surprise, and handed over the change he was looking for, and unconsciously used honorifics: "This is to refund your two yuan." ”
Apparently, he also heard the conversation of several people.
Chen Qing took the returned money, looked at Chen Zhengzhong and said: "Now there is my name on the poster on the public notice board at the door of the patrol room, Dad, if you don't believe it, go over and take a look?" ”
Hearing this, Chen Zhengzhong frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "Okay! Look at it in the past, look at it in the past! ”
He is not like Zhou Yonggui, who is embarrassed to bring up the real past.
Although looking at Chen Qing like this, he actually believed most of it, but he still saw him with his own eyes to believe it completely.
Zhou Yonggui on the side didn't say anything, because he actually didn't believe it in his heart.
Now that Chen Zhengzhong proposed to look at the past, he naturally just stopped by to take a look, and he was at ease.
When Chen Qing heard this, he didn't say anything more.
Afterwards, the three of them left the hospital and walked all the way to Renmin Street, where the patrol room was located.
At this time, the people gathered here during the day had already dispersed, and only those who passed by from time to time occasionally stopped at the public notice board in front of the patrol room to take a look at the admission list posted on it.
After the three of them came here, they also went straight to the bulletin board to check the admission list.
When he saw that Chen Qing's name was really on the admission list posted on the bulletin board, Zhou Yonggui was finally relieved.
At the same time, his gaze at Chen Qing also became different.
And Chen Zhengzhong stood stunned like this, watching, and didn't move for a long time.
Chen Qing opened his mouth and said, "Now believe it." ”
After Chen Zhengzhong heard this, a rare smile appeared on his face. He looked at Chen Qing, and said with pride in his eyes: "It is worthy of being my son!" I've always believed that you could get into the patrol room! You didn't disappoint me! ”
“…… Now can you recall who touched your toolbox? ”
Chen Qingqiang endured and ignored Chen Zhengzhong's two faces and said.
However, Chen Zhengzhong still shook his head and said: "Forget it, you are only admitted now, it is just when you are just starting out, don't waste time and energy on this kind of thing." ”
He still didn't want to cause trouble for Chen Qing.
After hearing this, Chen Qing didn't bother to ask any more, and directly turned around and walked into the patrol room of Yunyang District beside him.
Then, he got up at the consultation desk in the aisle at the door and said before asking him: "Hello, I am Chen Qing, the assistant inspector of the newcomer admitted to this summer recruitment, which office is Mu Zhiyou in?" I'm his nephew. ”
The patrol at the information desk was stunned for a moment, but then pointed in the direction.
Following the instructions of the patrol at the consultation desk, Chen Qing walked into the pointed office, and then came to the desk where Mu Zhiyou was in the eyes of a patrolman who was curious, looking, or scrutinizing.
"Why are you here?"
Mu Zhiyou looked at Chen Qing who arrived, and asked with a slight stunnedness.
Chen Qing said, "Uncle Mu, I want to trouble you with something. ”
……
Fifteen minutes later.
Yunyang District, Zhongcao Road.
In an alley.
A team of ten newcomer assistants patrolled, led by Mu Zhiyou, and came to the door of an old building courtyard with red lanterns and the word Xi on the door.
Standing outside the door, everyone could still hear the lively sound of pushing cups and changing lamps faintly from inside.
"I'll leave it to you next?"
Mu Zhiyou, who was wearing a uniform, looked at Chen Qing, who came with him.
Chen Qing nodded, and then stepped forward without hesitation and kicked towards the door!
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, the wooden door was kicked and snapped and flew into the courtyard.
Chen Qing stepped on the door panel with a gloomy face and walked in, and shouted: "Patrol room inspection!" Everyone is holding my head and squatting! ”
He had never intended to come and settle the matter alone.
Now that he has been admitted to the patrol room, although he has not yet been trained to join, he is already a person in the patrol room, so he naturally has to make good use of this organization.
The sudden breakdown of the door made the family in the small courtyard behind the door, whether they were eating or drinking, coming to play, or the owner of the house, all stood up one after another and looked at them with a look of surprise.
When he saw that it was the patrol house who broke into the door, among the people drinking in the courtyard, a young man with a flowing temperament walked out, and greeted him with a smile as he walked: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am Ah Liang of the Iron Fist Society, and my boss is-"
"Smack!"
Before he finished his words, he was slapped to the ground by Chen Qing's powerful backhand.
I only heard Chen Qing shouting and scolding: "Are you deaf!" Everyone is holding my head and squatting! ”
