Zhang Jianxun heard that his mother Lu Wenying had changed her mind again and ordered him not to look for Zhao Xingmin again, saying that his family would not agree with his relationship with Zhao Xingmin.

I gave him 50 yuan and asked him to buy some new clothes, get a haircut, shave, and clean himself up, so that he could meet Director Lu's daughter, Lu Jing, and it would be best if he could win her over in one go.

When Zhang Jianxun heard that he had to meet Lu Jing, he refused to do so no matter what. Back then, because of Lu Jing's identity as the factory director's daughter, they were all ordered around by her. She even ordered him to follow her current ex-husband.

She also extorted her pocket money, which she used to buy things to pursue her now ex-husband.

When he told his parents about the blackmail, they just turned a blind eye and told him not to go out and complain or tell anyone else.

For fear of causing trouble, Director Lu punished his daughter, but once the director's wife whispered in his ear, it would be their family that would suffer in the future.

Lu Jing had finally followed her ex-husband to the countryside, and they, the children, had finally escaped from Lu Jing's clutches. Now he would rather die than let himself meet Lu Jing and get married.

He deliberately didn't take a shower, wash his hair, or shave, and stayed in the police station all day. If you can't afford to offend him, you might as well just hide.

He wanted to find Zhao Xingmin, but Ma Xiulan's words last time also hit him hard.

"Jianxun, what's wrong with you? You've been so listless lately. Is your life not going well?"

When Zhang Jianxun found out that it was his mentor, Deputy Captain Yang, who asked the question, he felt close to him and said that he wanted to be responsible for a girl, but her parents seemed to think he was not good enough.

He didn't dare tell his parents that they forced him to meet Lu Jing. It was too embarrassing.

Then he talked about another problem that was bothering him.

Deputy Captain Yang heard this and said, "My apprentice is young and promising, how can he not be excellent? Is there some misunderstanding that makes people say this on purpose?"

Zhang Jianxun thought about it carefully and realized that Aunt Xiulan was not such a mean and snobbish person. If it was a misunderstanding, it was probably because his mother said some bad words that made Aunt Xiulan angry, so she said that on purpose.

Seeing that Zhang Jianxun seemed to be feeling emotional, Deputy Captain Yang continued to encourage him:

"As parents, we definitely want our daughters to have a good family. It's normal to have expectations. Even if they think you're not good enough now, as long as you can let others see the efforts you've made to become better, that's enough."

Zhang Jianxun felt that he just wanted to make a difference at the grassroots level, but recently, it seemed that his parents were forcing him to marry Lu Jing, whom he didn't want to marry, for the sake of his future. It seemed that he still had to become stronger in order to control his own destiny.

Since Aunt Xiulan also wants to find an excellent son-in-law, he will work hard to become excellent and powerful.

After figuring it out, Zhang Jianxun said to his master:

"I will stay on duty during the Chinese New Year this year. From now on, no matter how difficult or dangerous the case is, I will participate."

"Good boy, keep up the good work."

Deputy Captain Yang left with satisfaction. Young people should be full of energy.

The Spring Festival is just ten days away. Ma Xiu Lan is actively preparing for the New Year. This is the first year after her rebirth. She has left Zhao Youcai and got two houses that will be demolished in the future. She has to celebrate.

So she started cleaning the house early with Xingguo and Xingmin, and after cleaning, they prepared to buy New Year's goods and new clothes together.

When it was time to pay the bill, Zhao Xingguo rushed to pay. My mother had just given them 2,500 yuan, and they definitely couldn't let my mother spend more money.

Zhao Xingmin was embarrassed to spend his elder brother's money, so he discussed with Ma Xiulan and took out 100 yuan from her 1,000 yuan to buy things.

She is most afraid of others being nice to her. If she doesn't reciprocate, she will feel conflicted for a long time.

The two children wanted to pay, and Ma Xiulan did not stop them from being filial:

"Then you pay, and I'll make delicious food for us, and make sure we have a happy New Year."

Zhang Zhaodi, who was not far away, looked at Ma Xiulan and the others buying New Year's goods in large and small bags, and she was so angry that her stomach ached.

"Damn old woman, why don't you want us two?"

This time it was Chinese New Year, so Zhao Youcai only gave him 5 yuan to buy New Year's goods. He bought two kilograms of meat, which was enough for the vegetables and flour he would eat for the next ten days, not to mention roasted melon seeds, peanuts and milk candy.

Ma Xiu Lan and several others rode two bicycles home with their bags. Zhao Xingguo took Ma Xiu Lan with him, while Zhao Xingmin rode one by himself.

On the way, Zhao Xingmin saw Zhang Jianxun waving at her. She glanced at Ma Xiulan who was sitting in the back seat of Zhao Xingguo's car. She had her back to him and could not see Zhang Jianxun.

For some unknown reason, she told her mother that she had a stomachache and wanted to go to a public toilet nearby.

Ma Xiulan: "Then I'll wait for you."

Zhao Xingmin quickly shook his head: "It's so cold, you and my brother should go back quickly. I'd be heartbroken if you got frozen."

Ma Xiu Lan didn't see Zhang Jianxun on the road, so she thought she really had a stomachache. Without wasting any more time, she told her to go home quickly after using the toilet, and then she took the things hanging on Zhao Xingmin's handlebars and took them home first.

Zhao Xingmin turned around on her bike and saw Zhang Jianxun waiting for her at the entrance of the alley where she had just seen him.

After many days, they met again. Zhao Xingmin saw that he was slovenly and haggard. He wanted to show some concern, but then he remembered that he had a blind date, so he tried to be cool and indifferent: "Comrade Zhang, what do you want from me?"

Zhang Jianxun saw that she had become more beautiful after not seeing her for a while. Compared with Lu Jing, who was several years older than her, he became more determined to get married as soon as possible.

"Xingmin, I've been feeling guilty lately. If I hadn't insisted on sending you on the day of the college entrance exam, and my mother had misunderstood you, you wouldn't have suffered. I've inquired about it, and although the matter has been clarified, there are still some people who misunderstand you. I will definitely take responsibility for you to the end. Can you let me marry you?"
