"Sister, aren't we going in?" Zhou Jiasheng was a little puzzled. When they were at home, didn't his sister say she was going to the police station to see grandma? Why didn't she go in when she got to the door?
"Come with me." Zhou Yuanyuan pulled Zhou Jiasheng's little hand and came to the guard room.
In the guardhouse, two police officers were having a heated discussion. One of them was Xiao Zhang, whom Zhou Yuanyuan had just met that morning, the same officer Wu Jinfeng had pushed to the ground.
Xiao Zhang had one hand wrapped in thick gauze, and the other was waving as he talked to Lao Jiang about his morning call. The police station's gatekeepers were on duty on a daily basis, and today it was Lao Jiang's turn.
"Uncle Jiang, didn't you see? That shrew was really powerful. She was so strong... She knocked me to the ground with just one hand. Look, she injured my hand. I probably won't be able to go into the water for several days." Xiao Zhang tried his best to prove to Uncle Jiang that it was not that he was too weak, but that the opponent he met was too strong.
"You kid, you still lack experience! A dignified police officer was actually injured by an old rural woman. If your father knew about this, he would definitely give you a beating." Lao Jiang is an old policeman. He has a good relationship with Xiao Zhang's father Zhang Dashan. He doesn't beat around the bush when talking to Xiao Zhang. He just says what needs to be said.
"Hehe...hehe...I just asked you to say a few good words for me in front of my dad!" Xiao Zhang said embarrassedly. Zhang Dashan was the head of the Sanhe Town Armed Forces Department and had always wanted Xiao Zhang to work in the town government.
Xiao Zhang felt very unlucky because he got injured on his first mission. Xiao Zhang had been working at the police station for less than a month, and this morning's patrol was Xiao Zhang's first time on the field.
Public security is the career that Xiao Zhang has always longed for since he was a child. After finally getting his wish, Xiao Zhang did not want to go back and listen to his father's nagging about him changing his job because of this small negligence.
"No wonder I said you came back today and threw that woman into the dark room without asking any questions." Old Jiang suddenly realized.
Not everyone is qualified to enter the black room of the police station. Generally, only those extremely vicious guys are allowed to enter. The police will lock them up in the black room to show off their power before taking them out for interrogation.
Wu Jinfeng's fate in the dark room had indeed given Old Jiang several possibilities. Was she an enemy spy? A bandit? A serial killer? None of them seemed likely. Instead, she looked like an ordinary old country woman.
Zhou Yuanyuan was standing in the corner and heard this. After thinking for a few seconds, she decisively took Zhou Jiasheng's hand, turned around and walked back, leaving the police station gate.
After slowly circling the police station wall, Zhou Yuanyuan took Zhou Jiasheng back to her uncle Zhao Guohui's home.
Zhou Jiasheng was confused, wondering why his sister didn't go in after arriving at the police station. However, Zhou Jiasheng had a good personality. He wouldn't question anyone he approved of, no matter what they did.
After Zhou Yuanyuan returned to Zhao Guohui's house, she quietly told Zhou Jiasheng that there were people guarding the police station and not everyone could enter.
Zhou Jiasheng suddenly realized. He had just glanced at the middle-aged man in the guard room several times! He thought to himself that this police station was more domineering than other places. Even the guards looked energetic.
After Zhou Yuanyuan returned home, she hid in her room and tinkered with something with a piece of cardboard. Zhao Yunxiang had to take care of Zhou Zhixin and was busy preparing dinner. Seeing that Zhou Yuanyuan and her brother stayed at home obediently, she ignored them.
The time is pushed back to the day before.
Wen Ziqing ran to Zhoujia Village and said goodbye to Zhou Yuanyuan, then climbed onto the bus back to Qingshan City with a nervous mood.
It was already past noon when we arrived in Qingshan City.
Wen Ziqing was starving, but his longing for Wen Yiran made him in no mood to buy anything to eat. He walked quickly, wishing he could see his grandfather right away.
In his previous life, Wen Yiran fell seriously ill at about the same time, and it was this illness that ruined Wen Yiran's body.
After his rebirth, Wen Ziqing wondered more than once: if Wen Yiran hadn't fallen ill, would he have survived a few years later? In his previous life, Wen Yiran had died at just sixty, a truly untimely death. If Wen Yiran hadn't died, with his experience and abilities, it wouldn't have been impossible for him to ascend to a high position in Kyoto in a few years.
After Wen Yiran's death, Wen Ziqing's two uncles met with disaster. Wen Yuxiang and Wen Yulun, who were originally fine, became troubled by Feng Xueying's turmoil. The Wen family in Qingshan City officially fell into decline.
Only Wen Ziqing's father, Wen Yulong, was able to secure his position in the army because of the support of the Cao family in Kyoto. He was the only surviving brother of the Wen family.
Wen Ziqing had just walked into the city committee staff housing compound when he met an old lady in her sixties holding a bag of garbage, apparently going out to throw away the trash.
Seeing Wen Ziqing, Sun Yuqin said cheerfully, "Wen family's eldest son, you're finally back. Your family has guests. Your grandma has been talking about you these days!"
Wen Ziqing nodded at Sun Yuqin as a greeting, but without hesitation, he headed towards the Wen family's small building.
In those days, housing wasn't something you had to buy; it was allocated by your work unit. Of course, this allocation depended on rank and ability; for an average worker and his wife, getting a ten-square-meter apartment was already quite a feat.
Wen Yiran has a high rank and belongs to the type of person who has made special contributions to society, so he was assigned an independent three-story building for housing.
The Wen family, along with Wen Yulun and Wen Ziqing, have lived in this house for nearly six years. During the holidays, brothers Wen Yulong and Wen Yuxiang would return to the small building with their wives and children to visit the Wen family and reunite with the whole family.
Unlike Wen Yulong, who lived so far away, the Wen family's second son, Wen Yuxiang, and his family were all in Qingshan City. Wen Yuxiang was the Secretary-General of the Qingshan Municipal Party Committee and had a three-bedroom apartment in the Municipal Party Committee compound. Wen Yuxiang and his family of three didn't usually live in the small building; from time to time, they would bring their daughter, Wen Zixia, to visit the old couple.
Sun Yuqin and Feng Xueying didn't have a good relationship. Feng Xueying frequently complained at home about Sun Yuqin being an illiterate rural woman, her words implicitly disparaging her. Furthermore, Sun Yuqin's husband was the governor of Qingshan City, and his views and opinions differed somewhat from Wen Yiran's. Feng Xueying consistently urged the younger generation of the Wen family to avoid interacting with Sun Yuqin's grandchildren.
Wen Ziqing knew that Sun Yuqin was a kindhearted person. In his previous life, when Wen Yiran died and the Wen family was in dire straits, Sun Yuqin extended a helping hand, saving Feng Xueying and the others from living on the streets.
