Zhang Min pouted and said, "Brother Tu Nan, I'm just reminding you, stop waiting for Li Jia, she won't care about you!"
Zhuang Tunan said, "Xiaomin, I'm not stopping you from loving me, so why do you insist on stopping me from loving others?"
Zhang Min finally shed tears and said, "I'm afraid the woman you love so deeply won't come back, and you'll be heartbroken. My heart, which loves you, will also be heartbroken!"
"Sis, what's wrong?"
At this moment, Wu Xiaojun came out of the alley and looked at the aggrieved Zhang Min, saying, "Dad said not to cook dinner tonight. He ate too much at the banquet and won't be able to eat dinner. So if you're hungry, just cook for yourself!"
"I understand, Xiaojun. You can go back now and rest for a while!"
"I saw that Brother Tu Nan's family had guests, and his uncle and aunt were all entertaining them and didn't have time to help tidy up, so I'll help out too!"
As he spoke, he went to tidy up the books on the wire bed.
Zhuang Tunan knew he had hurt Zhang Min's feelings, so he changed the subject and asked Wu Xiaojun, "Xiaojun, why did you become a policeman? To look cool? To act handsome?"
"Brother Tu Nan, don't underestimate me. I'm not a vagrant who just tries to look cool and be handsome. I want to rid the people of evil, eliminate violence and maintain peace, and do things for the common people!"
"Really? Xiao Jun is amazing! To have such thoughts puts you ahead of 90% of people!"
While the three were busy, Qin Chuan, the police officer, ran over from a distance and said to Wu Xiaojun, "Wu Xiaojun, our captain said you need to report to the bureau tomorrow!"
Perhaps Wu Xiaojun didn't react immediately, and said somewhat timidly, "Reporting? Officer Qin, I haven't done anything wrong these past few days. What do I need to do at the police station?"
Zhuang Tunan patted Wu Xiaojun on the shoulder and said, "Silly boy, didn't you take the auxiliary police exam? You passed it. We're notifying you to start work tomorrow!"
"No!"
Police Officer Qin continued, "It's not work, it's political education classes and martial arts training. There will be another assessment in a week. Only those who pass can become regular auxiliary police officers. You need to stay in the station for a full week!"
"ah!"
Wu Xiaojun said fearfully, "There's going to be another exam? The last exam already gave me a huge headache, another one is going to be a nightmare!"
Police Officer Qin said, "If you don't want to go, I'll tell Captain Li that you're backing out!"
"No, I'll go report for duty. I just didn't expect it to be so difficult to become an auxiliary police officer!"
“Xiao Jun! This isn’t difficult, it’s about taking responsibility for you. The political education class is to teach you the law, and the martial arts class is to teach you self-defense. Right now, our police station is short-staffed, and sometimes we may have to face criminals alone. You can’t just go up there and get beaten down by them, right?”
Zhuang Tunan said to Wu Xiaojun, "Xiaojun, don't forget that there is a 'Jun' in your name. I hope you can be like a soldier, not afraid of hardship, not afraid of difficulty, and not afraid of death, and become a qualified auxiliary police officer!"
Zhang Min said to Zhuang Tunan, "Brother Tunan, please don't talk about death, okay? He's still so young, what you're saying is scaring me!"
Zhuang Tunan quickly slapped his mouth twice and said, "My fault, my fault, I said something unlucky, it's my fault!"
Qin Gong'an smiled and said, "Alright, I won't stay here with you guys any longer. I have a mission to complete. Xiao Jun, just remember to report for duty tomorrow!"
"Okay! Thanks, Officer Qin!"
Zhuang Tunan and Wu Xiaojun watched Qin Gong'an leave.
Zhang Min said to Wu Xiaojun, "Xiaojun, go tell Mom and Dad! Let them be happy."
Wu Xiaojun quickly turned around and went into the alley to tell Wu Jianguo the good news!
Unexpectedly, less than two minutes later, a drunken Wu Jianguo suddenly ran out, stood on the side of the road, and shouted at the kindergarten: "Wu Shanshan, Zhou Chengzhi, you two listen to me! My son has become a policeman, he's a government official now! If you two do anything wrong again, I'll have my son arrest you both to prevent you from harming the neighborhood any further! You just wait and see!"
As soon as Wu Jianguo finished speaking, Zhang Amei jogged over, pulled him towards home, and said, "Dad, stop shouting, let's go home and rest! It's not worth worrying about them! It's not worth it!"
Wu Jianguo said with a sob in his voice, "My wife, it's not about whether it's worth it or not, it's that I never imagined that the child I raised would be such an ingrate! She's such an ingrate!"
But no matter what Wu Jianguo said, Zhang Amei still pulled him back home.
Zhuang Tunan hurriedly said to Zhang Min, "Xiao Min, why don't you go check on your dad? I can tidy up here myself, there's still plenty of time!"
Zhang Min glanced at the setting sun and, thinking it was still early, said, "Then take your time getting ready. I'll come back to help you later!"
"No need, I'll have Xiaoting help me. Don't you still have to cook?"
"It's okay, I'm not hungry, I'll come back later."
Before Zhuang Tunan could say anything more, Zhang Min had already gone into the alley.
Just as Zhuang Tunan was about to put the newspapers away again, Wu Shanshan walked over from the opposite side. She lowered her head and whispered to Zhuang Tunan, "Brother Tunan!"
Zhuang Tunan turned his head and saw Wu Shanshan, saying, "What's wrong, Shanshan? Tell me what's wrong!"
Wu Shanshan took out a wad of cash and said, "This is the money I'm giving to Xiaojun. When he leaves, please give it to him for me. He'll be going to training for a week and won't be back, so just take it as living expenses!"
Zhuang Tunan looked at the stack of money, which amounted to at least two thousand, and said, "Why didn't you give it to him yourself?"
"He misunderstands me, just like my dad. I'm afraid he won't accept it if I give it to him myself, so you should give it to him for me!"
"If you give it to him and he doesn't want it, but I give it to him, will he accept it?"
"That's different. He's not listening to you now. I think he'll want it!"
"Okay, I can give it a try, but whether he wants it or not is up to him!"
"Okay, thank you, Brother Tunan!"
"It's okay, I'll get back to work now!"
Just as Wu Shanshan turned around, Huang Ling and Zhuang Chaoying were seeing Huang Gang off at the entrance of the alley.
Huang Ling said to Huang Gang, "Brother, don't worry about me. I've been discharged from the hospital and I'm all better now!"
Huang Gang said with some concern, "You can't think like that, Lingling. You have to know that you've had surgery, especially on your lungs. You have to be careful and absolutely cannot catch a cold or get frightened, otherwise it will be bad for your health!"
"Okay, I understand. When you get back, tell Mom and Dad that I'm fine!"
"I know what to say. They're both getting old and can't handle things anymore. I won't tell them about your surgery!"
"Okay, then I'll visit you and the elders at home in a few days!"
"Never mind, I'll have Zijuan come see you! Your health isn't good for long journeys!"
At this moment, Zhuang Tunan spun his wheelchair closer to the alley entrance and said to Huang Gang, "Uncle, why are you leaving? Won't you stay for a meal?"
Huang Gang turned to Zhuang Tunan and said, "Tunan! It's not that your uncle is in a hurry to leave, but there's an urgent meeting in the city that I need to attend. Once I'm done with this, I'll take you to America to get your leg checked out. I'll make sure you can stand up again, okay?"
"No need, Uncle. I can exercise at home. I don't need to spend that money!"
"No, you are my only nephew. I can't just sit idly by. You know, your maternal uncle is the closest relative to you. If I don't help you, I, as your uncle, won't be able to live with myself!"
"Uncle, there are some things I can listen to you on, but I can't accept the idea of you asking me to go to America!"
Huang Gang suddenly laughed and said, "What? You're a grown man of twenty-five or twenty-six, and you still can't live without your mother?"
"No, it's just that going abroad is too big a deal. I'll just stay home and exercise!"
"Listen to me, we'll talk about it after I'm done with this. That's all, I'm off!"
After saying that, Huang Gang turned around and strode forward. He must have really something to do, because he walked very fast.
Zhuang Tunan watched his uncle's departing figure and said, "My uncle is such a whirlwind!"
Huang Ling said with a smile, "He's in a hurry. He can't have anything on his mind, otherwise he's usually quite steady!"
