Chapter 23
Qin Sa was not in a hurry to take Tang Qingqing to report to the Public Security Bureau, but took her to the cafeteria for dinner.
It's past lunchtime, but there are still people in the cafeteria.
Due to the special nature of the work of the Public Security Bureau, people who are out on duty often cannot eat on time, so the cafeteria is basically always empty.
If anyone arrives late, they can heat up the leftovers and continue eating.
Qin Sa took Tang Qingqing into the cafeteria, where several police officers were eating.
"Hey, Qin Sa, you just came back from the field as well."
A policeman greeted Qin Sa, and just as he finished speaking, he saw Tang Qingqing behind her.
The man was not surprised and just thought that the case handled by Qin Sa was related to the girl.
This situation is not uncommon. Sometimes when they are investigating a case and it takes a long time, they will bring the suspect's family members or witnesses and their families to the cafeteria for meals.
"Any progress on your case?"
The police officer sighed and shook his head, "I have been squatting for several nights, my body is covered with mosquito bites, and I didn't find anything."
“Comrades, you still need to work hard.”
Qin Sa took Tang Qingqing to an empty seat nearby and said, "Sit down now. I'll get you some food."
"Excuse me."
Tang Qingqing was indeed hungry, so she didn't hesitate.
Perhaps due to her previous dream, she was not unfamiliar with this kind of environment, but she could not help feeling a little restrained.
By the way, ever since she read that book, she has never had that kind of strange dream again.
Qin Sa came back soon, looking very happy.
"We are lucky today. We happened to run into the canteen making tomato egg noodles, which is our canteen chef's specialty."
A big bowl of hot noodles was served, covered with tomatoes, eggs and salsa, sprinkled with chopped green onions. The color was tempting and the aroma was fragrant. You knew it would taste great even before you tried it.
It is not easy to have a bowl of noodles in the countryside. Although they grow wheat themselves, everyone usually uses white flour very frugally.
Except during festivals, I would never bear to make this kind of white flour noodles.
Tang Qingqing saw Qin Sa picking up his chopsticks, so she also picked up her chopsticks and took a bite of noodles.
It tastes so good!
The noodles are kneaded by the master and are particularly chewy, and the soup is delicious.
Tang Qingqing originally wanted to be more gentle, but the taste was so good that she unconsciously sped up.
However, Qin Sa was obviously faster than her. He swallowed the noodles without chewing them, as if they were being poured into his throat, and then took a second bite.
Tang Qingqing looked at her curiously. In her other memory, she seemed to have never seen a city girl eat so voraciously.
Although many people in the city live a tight life and have few opportunities to eat good food, sometimes they have to fight for food.
But everyone cares about their reputation, so they will be more careful when they are outside.
Especially girls, they are more gentle.
Qin Sa felt her gaze and said with a smile, "We have to go on missions from time to time, and often we can't delay for a moment, so we have developed the habit of eating quickly, otherwise we have to go out on an empty stomach.
Not only do I feel uncomfortable, but my arms and legs are so weak that I can't catch the criminal. Don't learn from me. This is bad for your health. You can eat slowly without any rush."
Tang Qingqing was very surprised. Although she thought Qin Sa was an impetuous person, according to another memory, there were relatively few female police officers working in the field. Many of them worked in offices, such as the Household Registration Department.
"Sister, are you still out on the field catching criminals?"
"Of course. I wanted to be a police officer because I wanted to be on the front line. I can't stand sitting in an office."
"Sister, you are so amazing."
Qin Sa ate the remaining noodles in a few gulps, wiped his mouth, and said:
"It's OK. I've been practicing martial arts since I was a kid, and I've always wanted to wear this kind of clothes."
Tang Qingqing's eyes lit up: "Sister, you also know martial arts!"
“It’s just that he’s better at fighting.” Qin Sa waved his hands disapprovingly.
"Honestly, I still can't believe that a little girl like you can be so capable."
Qin Sa read the files and knew how Tang Qingqing found the footprint near the chaotic fire scene, how she analyzed the footprint movements, and how she found the criminal.
Precisely because it is clear, it seems even more incredible.
Although the police academy also teaches these things, it is not something that can be acquired in a day or two, at least neither she nor her colleagues can do it.
She knew there were experts in this field, but none of them were so young. She couldn't have started training her eyes since she was in her mother's womb, right?
Tang Qingqing smiled and said, "It's OK."
"You little girl are even learning how to talk like me." Qin Sa laughed carelessly.
"Don't be scared for a while, just act like usual. It doesn't matter if you don't perform well this time. You are still young and have a long way to go. These criminal methods rely on experience and cannot be acquired overnight."
Tang Qingqing nodded obediently. She was not nervous at all, and was even a little excited.
She actually likes to show off a little bit, and she would be very happy to get other people's praise.
This is probably why the other me didn't like it at first, but later enjoyed blooming on the stage.
After Tang Qingqing finished eating the noodles, Qin Sa took her back to the office.
She was first arranged to wait in a large office where there were many staff members. Everyone was busy and had no time to deal with others.
Dingduo looked up and saw it, nodded at her, and then quickly lowered his head to do his own thing.
From time to time, people were brought in. Some cried and yelled, while others remained very arrogant.
There were also those who looked anxious and nervous and consulted the police.
Tang Qingqing observed the movements and expressions of everyone present and was very interested in this kind of working environment.
She fantasized that one day she would be able to wear the green uniform like the police here.
Qin Sa came back soon and took Tang Qingqing to the director's office.
Like everyone else, Xu Weiming was still surprised when he saw Tang Qingqing, but it was only for a moment. After all, he was an old comrade and had seen all kinds of storms.
"Comrade Tang Qingqing, thank you for your outstanding performance in the Rongshan Brigade arson case. The organization has decided to commend you for your heroic behavior. Do you have any requests?"
Tang Qingqing suppressed the joy in her heart. Just as her master said, someone would ask such a question.
She wanted to be calm, but she couldn't help but raise her voice when she spoke: "I want to study!"
Xu Weiming was stunned at first, then smiled with relief.
The current learning atmosphere is very bad, especially in the countryside, where people do not attach importance to learning. Many children drop out of school at a young age. There are not many children like Tang Qingqing who want to study.
No matter what the current environment is like, Xu Weiming believes that people must read books, because books contain the wisdom of our ancestors.
"Okay, the organization will definitely arrange it."
Tang Qingqing could no longer hide her joy and smiled broadly.
It was only then that Xu Weiming realized that the thin girl in front of him was actually very pretty, except that her face was too small. Moreover, she was often out and about, so her skin was a little tanned from the sun, and her clothes were tattered and dusty, which made it easy for people to overlook her appearance.
"Besides studying, is there anything else you want?"
Tang Qingqing shook her head. It was good enough to be able to study.
"Okay, I'll make note of this. If you have any further requests in the future, feel free to ask me."
"Thank you, Chief."
"Why call me Director? Just call me Uncle Xu."
Tang Qingqing readily followed suit: "Hey, Uncle Xu."
"Qin Sa told you about the test, right?"
Tang Qingqing nodded.
Xu Weiming said: "Don't think too much. It's not that we don't trust you. We just want to test what you can do."
"I know."
Xu Weiming felt relieved when he saw that Tang Qingqing was not unhappy at all.
It doesn't sound very fair to reward her for her contribution and test her there.
Xu Weiming brought Tang Qingqing to the compound, where a layer of shallow sand was spread on an open space.
"I heard that you can tell a person's height, weight and age by looking at his footprints. I will walk through here with four other people, and then you can find my footprints among them, okay?"
Tang Qingqing nodded, "Okay."
Qin Sa took Tang Qingqing away from the scene. Xu Weiming and the four police officers he called walked back and forth on the sandy ground in their shoes.
They all wore the leather shoes they were issued, and their feet were about the same length.
A young police officer couldn't help but say, "Our feet are similar, this is too difficult, isn't it? Will it be too difficult for the little girl?"
Tang Qingqing seemed too young, and I felt like I was bullying a child.
Another old policeman laughed and said, "That's because you don't know how powerful the code expert is. She can identify the murderer from so many footprints. This is not a problem."
"Old Yang, is it really that magical?"
"You haven't seen how powerful Li Kangan was back then. What a pity..."
Old Yang couldn't help but sigh. He had worked with Li Kangan before, and he was a really talented man.
"But Li Kangan is an adult after all and has studied for a long time. This child is too young."
Everyone had their own opinions, but there was no delay in going up and taking a look around, and no one seemed to be willing to give in.
This is how it is in their line of work. They have to be rigorous in everything.
The Public Security Bureau was relatively quiet today, and those who could spare some time came over to see the excitement.
Sister Feng from the Household Registration Department came over to take a look and said, "How can you tell them apart? They all look the same. Director Xu, you're being a little unfair."
No matter what everyone thinks, once the venue is set up, Tang Qingqing will be invited over.
Tang Qingqing didn't waste any time. She took out a ruler, squatted down, and measured each footprint.
This process was extremely boring and long. Some of the people who were originally watching the excitement found it boring and left, while others hurried back to work.
Even Xu Weiming and those police officers have left for the time being. They are staying in the police station and will be called upon when they are needed.
There's no way. The Public Security Bureau is always busy and there's no way to spare so many people to sit there doing nothing.
唐青青也不在意,只是得知徐偉明要離開,讓他在自己面前來回走了好幾圈,就放他離開了。
唐青青還跟秦飒說:“姐,你要是忙你可以先去忙,我一個人在這裏就行,我估摸還有一陣。”
“沒事,我今天休假,沒工作找我。”
唐青青聽這話也就不再多說什麽,繼續專注于觀察。
大約過了一個小時,唐青青從地上站了起來。
“姐,我認出來了。”
“這麽快?你要不再看看?沒人催你,你可以慢慢來。我們勘察現場的時候,也是急不得的。”
唐青青笑着搖頭:“我已經反複确認過了。”
她其實早就認出來了,只是為了謹慎起見,必須來回比對和研究,确保準确率。
“你先別急,等等,我去把局長叫過來。”
秦飒動靜不小,徐偉明下樓的時候,不少人也湊過來瞧熱鬧。
尤其是相對比較清閑的後勤人員,都湊過來瞧熱鬧,想要知道根據腳印就能辨認人的本事是不是真的。
徐偉明:“認好了?”
唐青青點點頭,她拿了一根細長的樹枝,指着上面的腳印道:
“這一排的腳印,是您踩出來的。”
圍觀的人之前并沒有看徐偉明幾人是怎麽走的,因此也不知道唐青青說得對不對。
大家全都看向徐偉明,食堂李大廚就忍不住詢問:“徐局,對不對啊?”
徐偉明微微皺眉,表情看着有些遺憾又有些嘆息,總之看着好似不太妙。
“你确定?你要不要再看看?”
看樣子小姑娘看錯了?
秦飒之前陪着唐青青出去,所以她也不知道是對是錯,為唐青青捏了一把汗。
唐青青語氣肯定:“就是這一排。”
“不改了?”
“不改了。”
徐偉明深深嘆氣,背着手搖了搖頭。
完了,肯定是看錯了。
原本以為發現了個少年天才,看來年紀還是太小,還不太靠譜。
李大廚忍不住拍自己大腿,雖然他也不太相信一個小姑娘這麽厲害,可就見不得人挑戰失敗。
徐偉明好一會才轉過身,唐青青的表情依然堅定不動搖,并沒有被他的表現所影響。
“很抱歉地告訴你——你,答對了。”
李大廚:“哎呀,我就知道哪有這麽神的……等等,局長你說啥?答對了?!”
“竟然答對了?!”
原本站得遠的人,全都湊過來盯着地上的腳印看。
“擠什麽擠,把我鞋都踩了。”
“這咋看出來的啊?”
一群人驚嘆不已,要不是親眼所見,誰敢相信能這麽厲害。
鞋子一樣,碼數都差不多,而且唐青青事先也沒量過徐偉明的鞋子,竟然能精準地分辨出來。
“英雄出少年,我們這些老人家不服不行啊。”
徐偉明樂呵呵笑着。
李大廚:“丫頭,你不會是蒙的吧?”
唐青青被質疑也沒生氣,笑着指着地上的腳印道:
“一號腳印,身高約一米七二,年紀35左右,體重120斤。”
“二號腳印,身高一米八一,年齡25歲左右,體重140斤。”
“三號腳印,是徐局的。”
“四號腳印,身高一米七六,年齡28歲左右,腿部之前受過傷,現在還沒有痊愈。”
前面大家聽着已經很詫異了,聽到四號的時候,現場再次沸騰了。
再也耐不住,插話發問。
“你咋知道受傷了?”
唐青青:“受了傷之後,尤其是腿部受傷,會影響走路的姿勢,也就會在腳印上體現出來。”
馮大姐:“咱們局最近受傷的只有宋衛國吧?這腳印是宋衛國的?”
徐偉明給出肯定的答案,“是宋衛國,另外兩個人也都對上號了。”
“可宋衛國看着不都已經好了嗎,現在都開始跑外勤了。”
唐青青:“他的腿肯定沒全好,他一直不讓受傷的那條腿使勁,重心都是放在另一條腿上。”
徐明偉惱怒:“這個宋衛國,跟頭倔驢似的,都跟他說了必須好好養傷,他就是不聽!竟然還騙我們說他全好了,看他回來我不收拾死他!成瘸子之前,我先把他給揍死!”
“這都能看出來?丫頭,你可真是太厲害了!”
“啪啪啪——”
秦飒起頭鼓掌,大家也紛紛跟着鼓起掌來,如潮水一般湧來。
唐青青站在人群中央,小臉通紅,心髒撲通撲通跳得厲害。
她笑得腼腆,內心很高興,卻不會因為成為衆人焦點而感到無措,大大方方接受這種誇贊。
李大廚揚聲道:“小丫頭,你這本事不一般啊,晚上我給你加雞腿!”
“是該加雞腿,有這能耐以後破案更有保障了。”
碼蹤不能當做直接證據,可只要能找到嫌疑犯,想要抓住對方破綻,将其捉拿歸案,難度會降低很多。
唐青青不僅有本事,年紀還小,未來可期。
徐偉明擔心大家誇太狠,反倒不利于唐青青的成長,連忙做了個手勢讓大家安靜。
“該幹嘛幹嘛去,被人看見還以為我們公安局成天閑得慌呢。”
一群人一哄而散。
徐明偉笑眯眯地看着唐青青:“唐青青同志,你是好樣的,希望你以後能多發揮自己的特長,為人民為社會做貢獻。”
唐青青腰杆挺得直直的,“我一定不會辜負組織的期望。”
徐偉明再次将唐青青帶到自己的辦公室,将一張獎狀頒發給唐青青。
“你這次表現突出,組織決定給你頒發獎狀。最近比較忙,所以局裏也就不辦表彰大會了,不過你們大隊應該會有表示。”
唐青青開心極了,能有一張獎狀就已經很好了,這說明自己的能力被肯定,說明她在組織上挂號了。
“徐伯伯,我好開心啊!”
徐偉明又從桌子下面拿出了一個熱水壺,熱水壺上還寫了一串字,唐青青一眼就找到了自己的名字。
不是她眼神好,而是她的名字寫得老大了。
雖然很多字不認識,卻也大概猜到上面寫着獎勵她的話。
“徐伯伯,這是給我的?”
徐偉明笑道:“對。”
唐青青這下更開心了,獎狀是精神上的鼓勵,暖水瓶那就是把禮送到心坎裏了!
現在天越來越冷了,有了暖水壺就能時時刻刻喝到熱水了,這個壺送給師父最合适不過。
不用下炕,就能喝到熱水。
拿了暖水壺,唐青青已經高興得不知道該說什麽才好,沒想到徐偉明自己還有禮物要送給她。
一支舊鋼筆和一本硬皮筆記本。
鋼筆很貴重,而且一看就是私人物品,唐青青将手背過去不敢拿。
“這太貴重了,我不能拿。”
這鋼筆雖然是舊的,可主人非常地愛惜。鋼筆依然完好,只是印在上面的字跡掉了一些漆。
自個不用,還能傳給孩子呢。
徐偉明笑着将她的手從身後拉出來,“這只鋼筆有不一樣的意義,它是我第一次辦了一個大案立了功,組織上獎勵我的。
現在交給你去完成更多的任務,破更多的案子,你能不能做到?”
唐青青抿了抿唇,視線一直在黏在鋼筆上。
最終她收下了這份厚禮,“能做到!”
唐青青珍惜地撫摸着筆記本,又小心翼翼地摸索着這支有些年頭的鋼筆,心裏難以言喻此刻的激動。
她迫不及待的将鋼筆打開,在上面認認真真的寫了自己名字。
她非常需要筆和紙,只是之前沒條件,只能硬記,難免會影響效率。
有了本子和筆,她可以将一些數據記錄下來,已經可以在上面畫出腳印的模樣,方便用來研究。
等她上學了,認識更多的字,還用來當做工作筆記。
筆記本雖然沒多大,但是很厚實,可以用很長時間。
“你會寫自己的名字?”
唐青青這才想起,身邊還有人呢,太高興什麽竟然什麽都忘了。
她不好意思地将筆記本收了起來,“我去上過幾天的學,那時候跟老師學會了寫名字。”
她被迫離開了學堂,可學到的東西卻一直沒忘,平時有事沒事就喜歡在地上用樹枝寫自己的名字和在學校學過的字。
一直牢牢記得一個字的筆順應該是什麽樣的,因此看到牆上的标語,對着臨摹也不會寫錯。
她雖然有另一段記憶,可那些記憶都是來自‘那本書’上的描寫。
書裏雖然也介紹了她在學校時的經歷,可都是放在人和人之間的互動上,對于怎麽學習都是一筆帶過。
不像以前做夢,宛若走了一遍似的。
因此她沒法有了另一段記憶之後,就能自動識字和書寫。
之所以對廚藝有所幫助,因為書裏對美食部分書寫得非常仔細,每次回憶口水都能落一地。
這也就使得唐青青可以在看書之後,學會了很多做飯技巧,廚藝有所提升。
唐青青不好意思地将本子拿了出來,耳根發燙:“我寫得不好。”
對比書中的自己,她現在差遠了。
徐偉明打開一看,字跡非常地工整,就跟印刷的字體一樣,好看但是比較死板。
可作為一個就上了幾天學的人,能寫成這樣已經非常厲害了。
他幾個孩子剛上學時候寫的字,都跟狗爬似的,有時候還是反過來的。
“寫得很漂亮,工整,慢慢練會越來越好的。回頭我送你一本字帖,你可以私底下對着練練。”
唐青青高興得不知道該怎麽才好,“徐伯伯,我有鋼筆和筆記本已經非常好了。”
“那字帖是我幾個孩子以前用的,現在他們都長大了,也用不上了,放着也放着,還不如讓你拿去繼續發光發熱。”
唐青青朝着徐明偉深深鞠了一躬,“徐伯伯,謝謝您。”
“好好學習,以後争取考進咱們公安局。”
唐青青好不容易來一次縣城,并不打算第二天就回去,準備在縣城裏多玩兩天。
徐偉明表示,她想住多長時間就住多長時間,要是哪裏需要她幫忙,正好抓個壯丁。
唐青青被安排在派出所的單身宿舍裏,睡在秦飒的床上,秦飒則去值班室睡覺。
因為唐青青太小了,讓她一個小丫頭住在招待所,大家都不放心。
唐青青知道後很不好意思,“姐,我其實可以打地鋪的,這裏挺寬敞的。”
秦飒擺擺手:“不用,我平常大多數時候也是睡值班室的。秋收之後事特多,我睡在宿舍也不踏實。而且我家就在公社,想找地方住很容易。”
秦飒的宿舍是個小二層,前面是連廊,後面是一個個房間,秦飒住在二樓。
宿舍的房間很小,放了一張床和一張小桌子,基本上就滿了。
不過秦飒收拾得很整齊幹淨,床單被罩都是剛洗過的,帶着一股淡淡的清香。
“這是我的屋子,這是鑰匙,你拿好了。樓下就是水房,床底下有盆有桶。一會兒你想洗澡就去澡堂,澡堂是下午三點半點鐘開到七點鐘,票我壓在桌上的玻璃下了,你直接拿就行,不用客氣。
票是單位發的,我要跑外勤經常蹲外面好多天,沒法回來洗澡 ,所以攢了一堆票。你盡管拿去用,否則也要過期。”
交代完,秦飒有些不放心道:
“你一個人睡不害怕吧?”
唐青青笑着搖頭:“不怕,我以前還在墳頭上睡過呢。”
當時她被冤枉偷吃雞蛋,怎麽解釋也沒有人相信,被趙大花狂揍,她被打疼了就跑走了。
那時候她還沒認識師父,所以沒地方去,走着走着就跑到墳頭上趴着了。
唐青青現在已經不在意那家人了,因此提這個也是想證明自己膽大。
可聽在秦飒耳朵裏就不是那回事了,看着眼前這個瘦瘦小小的女孩,若是放在他們家恨不得供起來。
只可惜她運氣不好,出生在那樣的家庭,命運注定坎坷。
不過她自己争氣,練出這麽個本事,以後路也會更寬廣。
秦飒點點頭,依然不忘叮囑道:
“你要害怕就開燈睡覺,你放心用不了多少電。要是有什麽事,就敲隔壁陳嫂子的門,我已經跟她打了招呼。”
單身宿舍住的不僅是秦飒這種單身的人,還有來不及分房的年輕夫妻。
秦飒安排得井井有條,方方面面都想到了。
甚至還幫唐青青買了牙膏牙刷,還送了一條新毛巾給她。
唐青青不知道該怎麽謝謝才好,這些東西都是她沒有的。
說來慚愧,她長這麽大,竟然沒有正經刷過一次牙。
她都是學村子裏的那些老人們,咬柳枝這麽擦一擦,牙膏牙刷需要花錢,家裏是不會給她買的。
“姐,你對我太好了。”唐青青眼睛發酸。
秦飒揉了揉她的腦袋:“這些都是局裏發的,我們公安局別的不說,後勤保障一直做得很好,以後你也會有的。”
雖然沒有正式文件,但是唐青青也算是他們的編外人士了。
直接發工資是不大可能,這不合規矩,要走的程序也很多,很不好批。
尤其唐青青年紀還那麽小,可是各種福利還是能夠争取到的。
“姐,我現在已經對這裏很熟悉了,你可以忙活你的去,不用管我。”
秦飒雖然現在在休假,可她明顯還心系工作。
“我是跟我們村的人一起來的,我們約好了一塊去玩的。”
秦飒聽到這話,也就不再推辭。
“那行,我先走了,你自個要小心,一定要記得路。不記得路就去店裏找人問路,別胡亂抓一個人就問。現在拐賣婦女孩子的案件不少,我們公社雖然還好,但也不能掉以輕心。”
唐青青連連應下,秦飒就風風火火去上班了。
唐青青站在房間裏,左右看了看,沒舍得坐在幹幹淨淨的床上,而是坐在了椅子上。
她到處看了看,桌上還擺着一些書籍,不過唐青青沒敢亂動。
她将挎包裏的筆記本和鋼筆拿出來,擺在桌面上。
然後她坐直,拿着筆裝模作樣地寫字,自己不由樂了起來。
鋼筆雖然比較舊,可依然順寫得很流暢,比唐青青用的還沒有小指頭高的鉛筆要好用得多。
徐偉明還送了他兩瓶墨水,一瓶藍色的,一瓶黑色的。
唐青青舍不得下筆,只寫了一個小小的字,就愛惜地将鋼筆收起來了。
這些東西她并不打算拿回家裏,她打算都放到師父那,否則誰知道什麽時候被人給偷了。
就算不被偷,光聽那些絮絮叨叨的話,唐青青就覺得沒勁。
有那工夫還不如去觀察每個人的行走姿勢,總結規律呢。
他們不是好人,是聽不懂道理的。
唐青青斟酌半天,正準備下筆寫一個字,外面傳來‘咚咚咚’的腳步聲。
聲音由遠至近,唐青青一聽就知道是秦飒。
她轉過頭,秦飒正好将房門打開。
“姐,怎麽了?”
秦飒沖了進來,一邊蹲下手伸向床底,一邊道:
“我剛差點忘了這事。”
秦飒從床底抽出一個紙箱子,她将紙箱子打開,裏面竟然全都是連環畫!
鄉下地方根本很少有這些東西,之前有人從隔壁大隊借過幾本,可也輪不到唐青青。
唐青青對小人書的印象,更多還是來自另一段記憶。
“哇,姐,你怎麽這麽多小人書啊。”
秦飒洋洋得意:“我除了工作沒什麽別的愛好,就喜歡看小人書。以前小時候想買,家裏舍不得。我現在自己工作了,拿到工資就去買。
我現在湊齊了《水浒傳》《西游記》《三國演義》等等全套小人書,你不知道想要買這些書多不容易。”
一大紙箱全裝滿了,簡直可以開書店了。
“這些書你想看就看,只要愛護好就行,然後幫我放好。”
唐青青激動得嘴都打瓢,“姐,這我,可以吃,不可以看嗎?”
“書不就是拿來看的,甭客氣。”
秦飒看了看表,失聲嚷了起來:“哎喲喂,都這個點了——”
然後招呼都來不及打,直接轉身往門口跑。
沒一會,唐青青就聽到有人咆哮吼道:
“秦飒,你個瘋丫頭,發什麽神經啊,又從二樓跳下來!下次把你腿摔斷了,我看你還敢這麽張狂!”
唐青青聽這話震驚到了,連忙跑出屋子,卻只看到秦飒的背影。
雖然沒親眼看到,可聽剛才的話,唐青青就已經能想象得出秦飒剛才有多帥氣。
“飒姐就是傳說中的女俠吧。”
唐青青退回屋子,原本她打算去電影院看電影,現在有了那麽多連環畫,她就舍不得出門了。
她小心翼翼地将一本上面畫着一只猴的連環畫拿了起來,開始閱讀翻看。
雖然上面的字她大部分都不認識,可有了畫也能看得懂個大概。
唐青青看得入迷,一連串看了十幾本,眼睛有些發酸了,才記得擡起頭。
她看向窗外,發現現在已經到了吃晚飯的時候了。
唐青青連忙将書都收拾好,把剛才弄亂的地方規整起來,然後才拿着鑰匙下樓吃飯。
她一路走好,一路覺得這種感覺太奇妙了。
長這麽大,唐青青還是第一次這麽悠閑地度過一天。
什麽都不用想,想做什麽就做什麽。
飯做好了,等着去吃就行。
唐青青更加堅定了要成為公安的決心,這裏可以做她喜歡做的事,還有美味的飯菜吃。
一進門,李大廚看到了她,朝着她招手。
“我剛才跟你說的,要獎勵你一根雞腿,喏,給你一個最大的!”
唐青青睜大眼,她還以為李大廚說說而已,沒想到說的是真的。
“你也太瘦了,徐局說你快十四了,這哪裏看得出來,多吃一點。”
李大廚将雞腿放到碗裏,然後親自給她打飯。
晚上吃的是白米飯,配的菜是土豆雞塊、酸辣大白菜和素炒茄子。
土豆雞塊是唯一一道葷菜,能分到的肉有限,可唐青青這一份明顯肉多土豆少。
跟在唐青青後面排隊的公安啧啧道:“李哥,平常你給我們打飯,手跟上了年紀的人似的,抖啊抖的,還特精準地把肉都給抖沒了,今天你咋就這麽穩呢?”
"Hey, you heartless brat, if you don't show up after dinner time, I'll forget about saving delicious food for you. Okay, you said my hands are shaking, but this time they're definitely not shaking."
When Chef Li took a spoonful, it was all potatoes.
The police officer stepped forward and grabbed his hand: "Brother Li, I was wrong. Please raise your hand and give me some meat. I can't continue this case without meat."
Someone nearby started to make a noise: "Brother Li, you see how important your food is. It's like the oil in your car. Even the best car can't move without it."
Joking aside, we should still fight as we should.
Chef Li finally scooped some meat for the policeman. Although he didn't receive the same special care as Tang Qingqing, it was still a lot of meat.
Tang Qingqing recalled that, not counting the meat she ate at her master's house, this was the most she could eat in a year at the Tang family.
This restaurant is so good! She doesn't want to go back.
No wonder everyone wants to be a city dweller and eat government food. This government food is really delicious!
There were quite a few people at this spot, so there were people sitting near where Tang Qingqing was sitting.
Tang Qingqing couldn't help but ask the person beside her: "Do all the police stations eat so well?"
Someone beside him laughed and said, "How can that be? We are the only one who has done a good job. Director Xu said that hungry police are like guns without bullets. They can't do their job, so we attach great importance to this aspect."
Another person explained: "For people like us, it's not easy to sit down and eat a meal. If we cook by ourselves, we'll probably be called away before the meal is ready. So, unless someone is always watching over us at home, we all prefer to eat in the cafeteria."
Tang Qingqing's favorability towards their commune's Public Security Bureau has increased significantly. She must study hard, not only practicing coding, but also learning to read and write.
This way she will have more opportunities to enter the Public Security Bureau and become a part of it.
After Tang Qingqing finished her meal, she took her bathhouse ticket and went into the bathhouse to take a bath.
Taking a bath is a big problem at home.
In the summer, I can go to the river to wash with the sisters-in-law and aunts in the village. They have a tacit understanding among their team.
Women take baths at certain places and men are not allowed to go there. If anyone sneaks in, he will be arrested as a hooligan.
It becomes troublesome when the weather gets cold. If you want to take a bath, you have to fetch water from a long distance and use firewood to boil water.
They are not allowed to do this at home. They can only wipe it once and it can never be cleaned.
But it’s different in the bathhouse. It’s especially warm inside, and there’s plenty of water in the boiler, so you can wash slowly and boldly with peace of mind.
As for a group of people bathing naked in the big bathhouse, Tang Qingqing didn't think it was a big deal, since they were all women anyway.
Moreover, when the women in their group go to the river to bathe in the summer, many of them are naked, so there is nothing strange about it.
People would also take a bath towel and scrub slowly, scrubbing all the dirt off their bodies.
Qin Sa also prepared a bath towel for Tang Qingqing. This was her first time using it, and when she rubbed it, there was a lot of mud!
Tang Qingqing was shocked. She didn't expect herself to be so dirty!
The sister-in-law nearby couldn't bear to see this and took the initiative to come over and rub her back.
Tang Qingqing was grimacing from being rubbed, but she was too embarrassed to say anything, as the other person was just trying to help her out of kindness.
But my sister-in-law's skill in scrubbing my back is really good. It was a bit painful at first, but later I got used to it. Seeing so much mud being washed out, I felt particularly comfortable.
This bath was the longest one Tang Qingqing had ever taken in her life. When she came out of the bathhouse, she felt a little dizzy.
My stomach, which was full before, now feels a little empty.
Zhai Hongyi and Wang Heizi were both shocked when they saw Tang Qingqing.
His face was pale and a little red upon closer inspection, and he walked unsteadily.
Wang Heizi rushed forward and angrily said, "Are you being made difficult? Humph, I knew it wouldn't be that simple. If you were sincere, you should have sent the reward to the brigade. You must have had bad intentions to be called here from afar!"
Zhai Hongyi's face also looked unhappy, but he was more stable than Wang Heizi.
"What's going on?"
Tang Qingqing waved her hands: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm just a little hungry."
"Didn't they say that food and lodging are provided? Why didn't they give us any food on the first night?" Wang Heizi became even angrier.
Zhai Hongyi handed her a piece of fruit candy and said, "I've run out of candy, use this to make up for it."
Tang Qingqing didn't hesitate and put the fruit candy in her mouth.
Who would have thought that after eating and drinking, she would take a bath and become exhausted.
I guess it’s because I’m too weak, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to do this.
Seeing Wang Heizi looking angry and glaring back, Tang Qingqing was worried that there might be a misunderstanding, so she quickly explained after she recovered.
Zhai Hongyi and Wang Heizi were both speechless. They had never heard of anyone getting dizzy from taking a shower.
Wang Heizi: "It's a good thing we came today, otherwise you wouldn't have survived tonight. Your health is too poor."
Tang Qingqing was embarrassed. It was not without reason that she was treated as a delicate girl in the book. Her own health was indeed not very good and she needed careful care.
Her life was exchanged, and she had to make a living under Zhao Dahua and Tang Jianjun. It was not easy for her to have enough food to eat, let alone be raised.
If she didn't have a master, her health would be even worse.
"Don't worry. Brother Yi and I have figured out the situation today. We'll take you to find something to eat later. Can you still walk?"
Tang Qingqing nodded repeatedly: "Sure."
Zhai Hongyi suddenly squatted down in front of her, and Tang Qingqing was stunned.
"What are you doing? Come up quickly and don't waste time."
