"Captain Zhang, you are overpraising me. Creating a good living environment for the people is what we should do.

We have always been determined to crack down on evil forces and crack down on illegal and criminal activities.

Director Zhao, you really fought a good battle tonight and lived up to the expectations of the county party committee and county government.

After you have interrogated the bad guys and counted the confiscated stolen money and goods, you must make a report at the next regular meeting to inform us of your victory.

Go ahead and do your work. I won't disturb you all. I'll take credit for your work later."

Cheng Tianji left a few nice words and hurriedly got into the car and left.

He is a regimental commander in the army, and after demobilization, he will at least be on the same level as him, and may even be higher than him.

The other person is only in his thirties, at the prime of his life. How can he, a cadre who has not moved from the county for many years, compete with him?

Besides, the black market in the south of the city had no interest in him. He just wanted to take care of the son of an old friend. It was just a normal social interaction.

After returning, no one knew what Cheng Tianji said to Guo Yang and Li Zhenjun. All they knew was that a jeep left Dongfeng County overnight.

"After Secretary Cheng returns, those two young masters will definitely run away, and it will be difficult to catch them."

Zhao Youzhi came to the window and looked at the darkness outside.

"I'll run away. By destroying the black market in the south of the city, I'll vent my anger. The public security in Dongfeng County will also improve. Our goal has been achieved.

Always leave a way out for others so that you can meet again in the future. I used to hate this sentence, but this is the reality and we have to adapt to it.

After this incident, I believe those two guys won’t dare to come to Dongfeng County again. This time it’s just a small punishment and a big warning.

Although their father is only the director of the Municipal Bureau, we are not afraid of them, but there is no need to be too drastic.

After all, their son just opened a black market and didn't kill or burn anyone, so just let them go this time!

If we really send their son to the Northwest, we will become enemies of life and death."

Zhang Xiangnan also came to the window and handed Zhao Youzhi a cigarette.

"Yeah! Unless our position is high enough, high enough not to care about anyone.

I have no hope. You haven't changed your career yet. Keep working hard so that I can have a backer and not have to worry about other people's opinions."

Zhao Youzhi took a deep puff of cigarette. At the local level, it was very difficult to get promoted without the support of old leaders.

"Get lost! My dad has never climbed a snowy mountain or crossed a grassland. He's just an ordinary man. It's not as easy as you say!"

After Cheng Tianji said this, the two men lost interest in continuing the interrogation and just smoked and drank tea in the office.

"Old Zhao, I won't stay here with you anymore. If you don't come home for a long time, your parents will be worried."

After finishing a cup of tea, Zhang Xiangnan put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray.

"Okay, let's go. Come and have a drink with me when you're free."

Zhao Youzhi escorted Zhang Xiangnan out of the office.

"If Cheng Tianji dares to embarrass you, just tell me and I'll go talk to him."

Before getting on the car, Zhang Xiangnan turned around and said.

My old comrade will have to work in Dongfeng County in the future, so let this evil guy do it himself.

"Don't worry, I won't be polite to you."

Zhao Youzhi lightly punched Zhang Xiangnan on the arm.

The two are true brothers in life and death, and have experienced the baptism of war together.

Their feelings will never become distant because of time and distance, nor will they become alienated because of their positions.

The jeep drove quietly in the dark night and soon arrived at the entrance of Zhangzhuang Village.

"Captain, Xiaoguang is waiting for you at the village entrance!"

The car lights pierced the night sky, illuminating the figures beneath the big locust tree.

"I saw it."

Zhang Xiangnan felt a warmth in his chest, a sore nose, and almost burst into tears.

"Xiao Li, my son has really grown up. He is worried about me!"

Zhang Xiangnan swore that this was the most boastful thing in his life of more than 30 years.

"Son, get in the car."

Zhang Xiangnan got out of the passenger seat and sat in the back seat with his son.

"It's already late at night. What are you waiting for me for? Aren't you sleepy?"

Zhang Xiangnan looked at his eldest son with a face full of doting.

"There are mosquitoes and I can't sleep."

The narrow space in the back row left Zhang Shuguang nowhere to hide. His father's gaze was too intense, making Zhang Shuguang a little uncomfortable for a moment.

"Nonsense! It's already autumn, where do the mosquitoes come from? Are you worried about me but embarrassed to tell me?

When I return to the army and finish building the house I've been assigned, you can go and live there for a while. The mosquitoes in southern Xinjiang are really scary, much bigger than the ones at home."

Zhang Xiangnan rubbed his son's head.

"Okay, I'll go to Southern Xinjiang."

Zhang Shuguang is still thinking about the jade mines in northern Myanmar!

I have food and money, and no one is controlling the mine over there, so I can dig however I want!

"Tonight's operation went smoothly. Compared to the real bandits, the black marketeers are just a makeshift group.

Your uncle Zhao and I led the charge and captured them before they even had time to draw their guns.

The black market in the south of the city was wiped out, but we spared the two young masters in the city.

It's not that your Uncle Zhao and I are afraid of them. It's not a serious crime anyway, so there's no need to offend them to death."

Zhang Xiangnan felt that his son had grown up, so he took the initiative to talk without waiting for his son to ask.

"I understand. Our family still has to live in Dongfeng County, and my uncle Zhao still has to work in Dongfeng County.

A person's life is a constant process of compromise; no one can live as they please.

If the Public Security Bureau had not cracked down on the black market in the south of the city tonight and asked Zhang Shuguang to take action personally, Zhang Shuguang had no intention of killing Guo Yang and Li Zhenjun.

Just like what Zhang Xiangnan said, it’s not that we don’t dare, it’s that there is no need.

"Son, you've suffered a lot in the past few years."

In Zhang Xiangnan's opinion, what Zhang Shuguang said was extremely inconsistent with his age.

The young people of this era have never seen any darkness. They are full of vigor and positive.

There is only one reason why my son can say this and see the world so clearly, and that is that he has suffered too much injustice in the past few years.

If difficulties don't knock you down, they will make you stronger.

The next morning, Zhang Shuguang skinned a wild goat at home, planning to deliver the mutton to the patients today.

This month, Zhang Shuguang went into the mountains several times, and there were more than a dozen wild goats in the space.

"Mom, I plan to go to my eldest sister's house today. Xiaoqiang and Xiaoliang are both injured. If I don't go home during my leave, my eldest sister and brother-in-law will be even more worried."

The eldest nephew's injury was not serious, and the second nephew's life was not in danger. If I keep it a secret from my eldest sister and brother-in-law, they will think too much.

"Okay, you went directly to the Public Security Bureau yesterday instead of going to the hospital, so it's a good opportunity to visit them today.

Let’s go in the afternoon, so we can give them some mutton to nourish them.”

After lunch, Zhang Xiangnan filled two ceramic pots with mutton, went to Guwan to pick up his eldest sister and her family, and then went to the county hospital.
