After a while, Cheng Jiawen came back with something in his hands: sweet potatoes, eggs, and a cup of malted milk. "Here, eat quickly and go to bed early after eating."
"Okay." Xu Qianjiao took the malted milk and drank it happily. She instantly felt her whole body warm and comfortable.
Cheng Jiawen picked up an egg, peeled it and handed it to Xu Qianjiao, "Here, have an egg."
Xu Qianjiao also took it with a smile, enjoying Cheng Jiawen's care with peace of mind. After serving Xu Qianjiao, Cheng Jiawen quickly peeled a sweet potato for himself. He tore off the skin of the sweet potato hastily and stuffed it directly into his mouth.
He had been hungry for a long time, but he didn't notice it while working. But now, looking at the hot sweet potatoes, he realized how hungry he was.
He thought with some self-mockery, when he was at the Cheng family, he would sneak out to hunt in the middle of the night and then sneak back. Wasn't he also starving at that time? Tsk, what happened before that? Wasn't it just a matter of sleeping, and then he wouldn't be hungry.
He had a rough life before, but now he is taken care of more carefully and has become pretentious. However, it feels so good to be taken care of. He never wants to go back to the days when he was alone and no one cared about him.
Xu Qianjiao passed the malted milk to Cheng Jiawen's mouth and said, "Drink some."
Cheng Jiawen followed her hand and took a sip. The taste of malted milk passed through his mouth, fragrant, warm and very comfortable.
"Wife, I have a day off tomorrow, so I can take a day off. I'll take you to work tomorrow."
Xu Qianjiao looked at Cheng Jiawen in surprise. "Really? That's great. I have a day off too. I'm going to sleep all day tomorrow and have a good sleep. I must be feeling sleepy these days because I haven't gotten enough sleep. Tomorrow, I'm going to sleep it all back in one go."
Cheng Jiawen felt helpless when he heard Xu Qianjiao's childish words, but he also found it funny. "Okay, I'll sleep with you all day tomorrow, and we'll stay at home all day."
"good."
-------------------------------------
The rest time passed quickly. Xu Qianjiao and Cheng Jiawen really did as they said and slept at home all day. Needless to say, Xu Qianjiao had been inexplicably sleepy these days.
She attributed this phenomenon to not getting enough sleep on normal days, and she had to make up for it this day. Not to mention Cheng Jiawen, who had only slept for a few hours in the past few days. It was a rare day off, so he and Xu Qianjiao slept soundly.
Soon it was time to go to work again. Now that the case was over, Xu Qianjiao was still taken to work by Cheng Jiawen. The two rode their bicycles all the way to the city.
After he put Xu Qianjiao down, he immediately rode his bike to the police station.
Police Station
He greeted everyone and went straight back to his seat, rested for a while, and then began to finish the work he had left behind.
There was a sound of a car at the door. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what had happened, but they all stood up and looked towards the door.
Officer Liu led his men into the yard. Following behind him was a middle-aged man in a neatly-fitting Mao suit, who listened to his introduction while looking around.
Suddenly, he saw something strange. When he got closer, he found it was a bicycle. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he looked at Officer Liu suspiciously, asking in disbelief, "Is your police station so poor now? You can't even afford a bicycle?"
When everyone heard the leader outside asking this, they couldn't help but glance at Cheng Jiawen, feeling a little gloating. "Hey, yesterday Chief Lu said he would reward him with a bicycle, but he refused it and insisted on a ladies' watch. Now he's been caught red-handed by the leader."
Hearing the man's question, Officer Liu's mouth twitched, but he could only bite the bullet and explain: "Um, Chief Niu, this belongs to a young man who just started working in our police station. He's new to the job and doesn't have much money."
Then he turned around, looked inside the door and shouted, "Cheng Jiawen, come out for a moment."
When everyone heard what Officer Liu said, they looked at Cheng Jiawen with even more teasing eyes, and more people were looking around. Jiang Ziwen frowned and looked at Cheng Jiawen worriedly.
Cheng Jiawen gave him a look that said he didn't need to worry, then calmly walked out and stood in front of the two of them, bowing his head slightly, but not in a way that made them look humble. "Captain Liu."
"This is Director Niu from the provincial government. He's here regarding the 'White Bird' incident." Officer Liu briefly explained Director Niu's purpose. Then, looking at Director Niu, he said, "This is Cheng Jiawen. He's the one who found the explosives."
"Hello, Director Niu, I am Cheng Jiawen." Cheng Jiawen lowered his head slightly and politely expressed his respect to Director Niu.
Director Niu looked Cheng Jiawen up and down and found that this man had clear eyes and was neither humble nor arrogant. He stood up straight when facing him, and his tone was respectful but not humble.
He was satisfied and nodded calmly, then pointed at the bicycle and said, "Is this your bicycle?"
Cheng Jiawen looked in the direction his finger pointed and nodded, "Yes, it's my bicycle."
Director Niu asked him curiously, "This bicycle is so broken, why don't you replace it? Don't you have money? If that's the case, you can ask your captain Liu to collect your salary first, and then go buy a bicycle."
He was really curious about Cheng Jiawen. Men, after all, were more or less concerned about their reputation, let alone a young man of his age, who cared even more about his reputation.
Judging from Captain Liu's familiar words, he must have been asked about his bicycle many times. He was really curious and wondered why he didn't change his bicycle.
Hearing what Director Niu said, Cheng Jiawen shook his head and explained calmly, "No, it's not about the money. It's just that this one still works, so there's no need to change it. Besides, I have to give the money to my wife every month. If she finds that the money is missing, she will definitely ask me, and if she can't explain it clearly, she will definitely make a fuss with me."
Hearing this, Director Niu was shocked. He didn't expect that there was someone who shared the same pain as him. He was the same. He had to give his salary to his wife every month, and his wife had to keep accounts every month. If there was less money, she would definitely make trouble with him.
Officer Liu, who was standing nearby, heard this and added with a smile, "Yes, Jiawen loves his wife very much. Last night, Chief Lu offered him a bicycle as a reward, but he refused. He wanted a ladies' watch instead for his wife."
Hearing this, Director Niu looked at him with even more admiration, "This little brother's wife is amazing. He looks so tall and big, but I didn't expect that his wife would take care of him so much. His own bicycle is so broken, but he still thinks about buying a watch for his wife."
After hearing what Officer Liu said, Cheng Jiawen finally felt a little embarrassed. His cheeks flushed slightly, but there was no expression on his face.
Director Niu nodded and said approvingly: "It's good to love your wife. A man who loves his wife is reliable. Captain Liu, your subordinate is this..." After that, he raised his thumb and gave Cheng Jiawen a thumbs up.
He was sanctioned because his wife was the director of the Women's Federation and he had to support her work. Now Cheng Jiawen's wife is just an ordinary person, but he didn't expect that she could make him so obedient. She is really a powerful person.
