"Cheng Jiawen." Officer Liu, who was standing at the door, said, "Cheng Jiawen."
Cheng Jiawen heard the voice and looked up to see Officer Liu in plain clothes standing at the door. He said in surprise, "Officer Liu, why are you here?"
Then he put down his hoe and walked to the door, "Come in."
Officer Liu followed Cheng Jiawen's footsteps and stepped into the Xu family's gate. As he walked, he scanned the surrounding environment with sharp and alert eyes.
Although the house is small, it is by no means small; it gives people a warm and comfortable feeling, while exuding an air of order.
After entering the yard, Officer Liu observed it more carefully. He saw that everything in the yard was neatly arranged: flower pots were placed against the wall, forming a harmonious scene with the wall; washed clothes hung on the clothesline, swaying gently in the breeze; and the ground was swept so clean that it seemed to reflect the sunlight.
This cleanliness and orderliness instilled a lingering feeling in Officer Liu, who felt a sense of favorability. He felt a family like this wouldn't be in serious trouble. However, as an experienced officer, he knew appearances could be deceiving, so he didn't let his guard down. Instead, he scrutinized every detail, trying to detect any clues or anomalies.
When he first came, he specifically asked about Cheng Jiawen's reputation in the village. Well, how should I put it, he is not the kind of good young man that people like nowadays.
All he heard people say about him was just one word: "lazy". He was really curious. Logically speaking, how could a person with good skills be associated with laziness? Skills have to be trained day after day. How could a lazy person have such good skills?
So he wanted to see if Cheng Jiawen was really that lazy.
Cheng Jiawen poured a cup of sugar water from the kitchen for Officer Liu. "Here, Officer Liu, please sit inside."
After saying that, she took him into the dining room. The weather was cold now, and there was snow falling outside from time to time. Standing in the yard and chatting was indeed not a wise choice.
The two entered the room, and Cheng Jiawen pointed to the kang and said, "Sit down, you're welcome."
Officer Liu took a sip of the hot water and finally felt warm. He put the cup down and said slowly, "You have excellent skills. Who did you learn from?"
Cheng Jiawen sat on the kang and shrugged. "I don't have a fixed person to learn from. I learned a few moves from a teacher in high school. After I graduated from high school, I learned a little from an old hunter in the village. I also learned a few moves from my high school roommate. That's all."
Now it was Officer Liu's turn to be confused. He looked at Cheng Jiawen suspiciously, "Are you saying that you didn't learn these skills from a master, but learned them by piecing them together on your own?"
Cheng Jiawen nodded, "Yes, I'm just a country boy, where can I find a master to learn from?"
When Officer Liu heard this, he couldn't help but sigh, "This person is just different from others. The guys in my team have all gone through special training, but they're not as good as this unstructured guy."
He looked at Cheng Jiawen, and a trace of regret could not help but show in his eyes, "Ah, if he could receive special training, his skills might be comparable to the best in the army. What a pity..."
"Have you ever thought about joining the army?" Officer Liu looked at him curiously. Normally, if Cheng Jiawen joined the army, based on his academic qualifications and skills, he should be selected. Why didn't he go?
When Cheng Jiawen heard this, his eyes darkened. He had previously thought about joining the army, so that he could escape from this family and also make a future for himself.
But he didn't go in the end because he had a scar on his body. People wanted to make an exception and accept him because of his good skills, but his mother made trouble and he didn't go in the end.
He showed a helpless smile on his face and spread his hands, "I can't go. I have scars on my body."
Hearing this, Officer Liu nodded, but he was still a little confused. "Normally speaking, unless he is really not capable, why would the military let him go? There must be other reasons, but since he didn't want to talk about it, he didn't ask."
"Oh, it's okay. Everything is the best choice." Officer Liu reached out and patted him on the shoulder, silently comforting him.
Cheng Jiawen waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's okay, I let it go a long time ago."
He really didn't have much obsession with the jun team. He felt sorry that he couldn't go, but he wasn't too sad. He was just angry because he couldn't escape this biased family.
Besides, he also knew his own selfish character and was indeed incapable of such a great career, nor did he have the determination to devote himself to the people.
Officer Liu took a sip of water and then got down to business. He stared at Cheng Jiawen seriously and said, "Cheng Jiawen, are you willing to work at the police station?"
