"But Dad, those two are together every day. Won't things get boring after a while?"
Li Chu pondered for a moment. This matter couldn't be explained in just a few words. Moreover, whether it was his daughter, son, or Yueyue, they were all in their adolescence, a time when they were curious about love between men and women.
There are some things that need to be made clear to them, so that they can develop a correct view of love as early as possible.
"I see. These things can't be explained in a short time. Tomorrow night, after you finish your exams, I'll get you some things you've never eaten before, and then I'll explain them to you properly, how about that?"
Before Wenhui and Wenxuan could say anything, Wang Yueyue couldn't help but ask, "Daddy Chu, what's so delicious?"
Wang Yueyue has been a foodie since she was a child; she can't resist anything that tastes good.
"I won't tell you now, you'll find out tomorrow night."
"Oh, dear Daddy, just tell me!" Wang Yueyue began to whine and cuddle as she leaned against the back of his chair.
Seeing this, Wenxuan, who was sitting next to her, quickly pulled her to sit down properly.
"Yueyue, sit down quickly, it's not safe to stand."
"Hehe, thank you, Brother Xuan."
Wenhui, who was standing next to her, shivered involuntarily and moved a little closer to the car door.
"Yueyue, you'd better call me Dad Chu, otherwise if your real father hears this, he'll definitely come after me."
"Oh, don't worry about it. I'll call you Dad sooner or later anyway."
Li Chu glanced at the nonchalant Wang Yueyue through the rearview mirror and found it somewhat amusing; this girl didn't seem to know how to be shy.
I reckon she'd love to marry him today if she could.
After dropping Wenhui and Wenxuan off at school, which is a day off, there were still quite a few parents at the school gate.
They didn't wait there; they drove straight home.
When they got home, everyone except Ding Qiunan, who was still fast asleep in bed, had already left.
After Wang Yueyue returned, she went into her room and started doing her homework.
The college entrance exam occupies classrooms, so they are on holiday, but they still have plenty of homework assigned.
Li Chu entered the bedroom and looked at his wife sleeping on the bed covered with a towel, feeling a bit of a headache.
That silly wife of mine, I even told her to put on her pajamas before she left, but it was all for nothing.
He closed the bedroom door and went back into the courtyard, sitting down at the stone table.
The dogs that were playing and frolicking in the yard all gathered around him.
The Great Sage had two puppies, both of which have been sent to the police dog unit.
His home has now basically become a supply base for the police dog team.
I was playing with a few dogs when there was a knock at the small door next to the east wing that connects to my sister's house.
"Uncle, Uncle, are you home?"
It was Wang Jiadong. Although the door could be opened from either side, everyone except Li Qin would knock first before coming over.
"Jiadong, come here, I'm here."
With the sound of the door opening, Wang Jiadong walked over.
"uncle"
"You're here. Come and sit down. Help yourself to some water."
After his nephew sat down, Li Chu asked with a smile, "You've come here because you need something. What is it?"
Wang Jiadong glanced at his uncle and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Uncle, I have something I'd like you to help me with."
"Yes, I know, so what is it?"
"Uncle, do you know Deputy Director Zhang from our bureau?"
"Your Deputy Director Zhang?" Li Chu's hand, which was holding a teacup, froze in mid-air. "What's his full name?"
"Deputy Director Zhang is a recent transfer from the military. His name is Zhang Meng. I remember he used to be Grandpa Wang's bodyguard."
"Zhang Meng transferred to your bureau?" Li Chu was genuinely surprised.
Zhang Meng was over fifty years old and no longer suitable to be a bodyguard, but because he didn't want to leave, he stayed by Uncle Wang's side.
In reality, Uncle Wang's bodyguard had long been replaced by Zhang Meng's son, Zhang Jianshe.
Zhang Meng had been hesitating for a while about whether to join the security bureau or switch careers.
It seems he has ultimately chosen to return to his hometown, but being able to join the municipal bureau and become its deputy director is not a bad thing for him.
When did he arrive at your bureau?
"I've only been here for a week."
"Hey, this guy, he's already transferred back to civilian life without saying a word. Is he afraid I'll eat him out of house and home?"
"So, Jiadong, what do you want me to do with him? Transfer you to a different department?"
“Uncle, I’m doing well in the criminal investigation team. It’s Juan’er.” Wang Jiadong pursed his lips. “Juan’er is currently in the public security department of our Dongcheng Branch. In the past two years, more and more unemployed young people have returned to the city, and the public security in Beijing is not very good now. She is a woman and she has to go out on field work all the time. I’m really worried about her safety, so I was wondering if you could help me talk to Deputy Director Zhang and transfer Juan’er to an internal affairs department.”
Yes, those who were sent to the countryside back then are gradually returning. But there are too many people returning, and there aren't enough jobs to assign them. As a result, there are more and more unemployed young people with nothing to do, so there are more and more people loitering on the streets.
A group of hot-blooded young people might start fighting over a few words, so the streets are really not safe these days.
That was still considered good; things would gradually get worse, so in 1983, the first major overhaul took place.
There were several more major crackdowns afterward, but none were as large as the first one. After the crackdown, social order improved significantly.
Strictness, speed, and severity were the slogans at that time.
"Jiadong, have you discussed this with Xiaojuan? Don't be a chauvinist and make decisions for her on your own."
"How could that be, Uncle?" Wang Jiadong hurriedly waved his hand. "I discussed it with her before coming to tell you. Even though it's Sunday, they still can't rest."
“Alright, since you’ve already discussed it, I’ll let Zhang Meng know. But as you know, he was just transferred here, so it’s not certain whether he can be of any help.”
"It's alright, Uncle, it's fine to wait a while. Thank you in advance."
"Get lost, kid. You're thanking me? You weren't this polite when you were a kid."
"Hehe," Wang Jiadong touched his nose a little embarrassedly, "I was young and didn't know any better back then, but I'm all grown up now. Uncle, I'll head back now."
"Go ahead, I'll call him later."
After Wang Jiadong returned home, Li Chu got up, went to the living room, picked up the phone, and dialed Zhang Mengjia's number.
It was answered after only two rings, and Zhang Meng's voice came from the other end of the line.
"Brother Meng, you're not being fair. You haven't said a word even after I've been discharged from the military."
"You're very well-informed. I was planning to tell you after things were sorted out."
"I'm really looking forward to it. It's been so long since I've had Donglaishun."
"Get lost! You think I'm like you? I can't afford to pay you."
