Chapter 59 Chapter 59 If you really want to touch it, it’s not…
If Song Guanshu doesn't even remember Jiang Ling's birthday, it proves that the concern he shows for her is all fake.
"Sorry, I don't know. I'll make it up to you tomorrow."
Jiang Ling herself had forgotten about this, so how could she blame Song Guanshu?
"It's okay. I didn't remember your birthday either. The two cancel each other out."
Tong Wanyue sneered, "Don't tell me you don't care at all."
Song Guanshu said nothing, and Jiang Ling felt a little sorry for him.
In fact, Song Guanshu cannot be blamed.
She interrupted, "Sister Wanyue, when is your birthday?"
“I don’t celebrate my birthday.”
She did not celebrate her birthday before she got married, but she started to celebrate it after she got married. Although she did not want to marry into Xie Lang's family again in this life, she could not go against her conscience and say that this marriage brought her nothing but regrets and pain, and she still had some happy memories.
Jiang Ling gestured for her to answer, "Sister Wanyue, please tell me. If you don't tell me, you don't consider me a friend. What is the most important thing between friends?"
Tong Wanyue answered uncertainly, "Trust?"
"You are totally wrong. It's a give-and-take relationship." Jiang Ling explained seriously, "With one-sided efforts, this relationship won't last long."
"Except for those like my eldest sister who love to give unilaterally, but I am not a heartless person."
Tong Wanyue's heart was greatly shocked. She always thought that Jiang Ling was a little sister who needed to be pampered, but sometimes she could hear some very philosophical words from her.
Song Guanshu also wanted to say that she didn't celebrate her birthday like Tong Wanyue did. The moment he met Jiang Ling's eyes, he said it obediently.
"It's the season of spring when flowers are blooming. Although I missed your birthday today, I can celebrate your birthday with you next year."
Song Guanshu felt a sour and swollen feeling in his heart, as if he was soaked in plum wine. He lowered his eyelashes and replied softly, "Okay."
Tong Wanyue thought, Jiang Ling is really easy to talk to.
"Sister Wanyue, please stay for dinner with us today." When it was time for dinner, Jiang Ling habitually invited people to stay for dinner.
It would be fine if it was a normal day, but today was Jiang Ling’s birthday, and Tong Wanyue agreed, “I won’t leave. You have to eat longevity noodles on your birthday. The longevity noodles I cook are delicious. I’ll cook you a bowl to try.”
Before she got married, she didn't even celebrate her birthday, let alone cook longevity noodles. She learned this skill after she got married, and had to cook for her children on their birthdays to wish them longevity. Year after year, her noodle-cooking skills improved.
"Okay, okay, Song Guanshu just came back and bought half a roast duck."
Although roast duck with longevity noodles, it sounds strange.
Jiang Ling thought that she used dried noodles to cook hand-rolled noodles, but she never expected that Tong Wanyue's hand-rolled noodles started with kneading the dough. Even a talented contestant like Song Guanshu could not compare with a housewife with many years of kitchen experience.
The dough in Tong Wanyue's hands was beaten and kneaded again and again, and finally it was torn into noodles as thin as hair in her hands.
Jiang Ling was stunned. "Oh, Sister Wanyue, you are amazing. With your skills, you shouldn't be a police officer. You should open a restaurant."
Tong Wanyue was so pleased with the compliment. Who doesn’t like someone who can provide emotional value to them?
When I am with Jiang Ling, I can hear her praise from all aspects continuously.
She liked Jiang Ling, not only because she looked like her daughter, but also because she knew how to behave in a proper manner.
It’s also because I feel very good when I’m with Jiang Ling.
Song Guanshu stood aside and silently learned Tong Wanyue's steps. Suddenly he heard these words that sounded particularly familiar. Jiang Ling had said these words to him many times.
So she says this to everyone?
There was no need for Jiang Ling to help, Song Guanshu had already boiled the pot on the stove.
Tong Wanyue prepared the soup base by herself and put the pulled noodles into the pot. Since the noodles were thin, they did not need to be cooked for too long. She boiled two noodles in boiling water, put a poached egg in the pot, sprinkled two green vegetable leaves as garnish, and finally served the noodles and soup into a bowl.
When the weather is cold, a bowl of light silver thread noodles can greatly soothe your body and mind.
Along with the roast duck, Song Guanshu also bought a bag of pancakes, planning to wrap the roast duck with them.
Now you can have it as a dessert after a longevity noodle meal, but you will get hungry very quickly after eating the noodles.
Every time Jiang Ling took a bite of noodles, she would praise Tong Wanyue.
Tong Wanyue was so flattered by the compliment that she said, "If you like, I will come and make longevity noodles for you every birthday in the future."
"OK......."
Jiang Ling had just said one sentence when she was interrupted by Song Guanshu. He smiled and said softly, "Don't worry about it, Public Security Tong. The police station is very busy and it would be inconvenient to take time out to celebrate Jiang Ling's birthday. From now on, I will cook longevity noodles for Jiang Ling's birthday every year."
After Song Guanshu's reminder, Jiang Ling also felt that she was a bit too much trouble for her. She said, "Sister Wanyue, you are so busy at work. You should go home and rest after get off work. It is enough for me to celebrate my birthday with you this year. You should focus on your own things in the future and don't worry about me."
"How can it be troublesome? It only happens once a year. No matter how busy you are, you can always find time." In the previous life, the Xie family attached great importance to birthdays. No matter how busy Xie Lang was, he would always make time to go home on his children's birthdays. "People who care about you are willing to celebrate your birthday no matter how much trouble it is. People who don't care about you won't remember when you celebrate your birthday, no matter how close they are."
"Sister Wanyue..." Jiang Ling was so moved that her mouth twisted.
Then I heard Tong Wanyue say, "Besides, I'm afraid that if I don't come to celebrate your birthday, someone will deliberately forget your birthday."
She rubbed Jiang Ling's head and said, "There's only one day like this in a year, and it's so pitiful that it's forgotten."
Before leaving, Tong Wanyue remembered something and came to tell Jiang Ling, "After a while, my former leader came to talk to me. After a while, I will be transferred out of Xihe. The specific time is uncertain, maybe after the New Year."
Jiang Ling was horrified. "Why? You have just been in Xihe Police Station for a short time. Why are you being transferred away?"
Song Guanshu seemed to be in a good mood, and he was able to spare some time to comfort her, "Tong Gongan was transferred from the grassroots level and was promoted. We should celebrate for her."
"Congratulations, Tong Gongan."
Oh, yes, Jiang Ling asked hurriedly, "Did you get a promotion?"
Tong Wanyue nodded, "I guess so."
"That's a good thing!"
The reason why Tong Wanyue was transferred back was closely related to Jiang Ling.
The previous Chen Mazi case left a deep impression on all the leaders. When they saw the moon in the Beicheng Evening News, they subconsciously thought of Tong Wanyue.
Thinking that this was a story based on her, everyone read the North City Evening News every Friday, but when they saw the second short story, they became confused again.
This case is not a case that has occurred in North City in the past ten years, and it is even less likely to be a case that Tong Wanyue experienced personally.
But this case is really well written, thrilling and interlocking. Even though it was later discovered that it was not based on the Beicheng Public Security Bureau, everyone was still very motivated to read the Beicheng Evening News every week.
Until they saw a familiar case again, the stabbing incident in the steel plant's staff compound. Although the criminal was solved quickly, the case was handled neatly and beautifully. Even though it was not within their jurisdiction, when they heard about it, they knew that Tong Wanyue was also involved.
It is very interesting that two of the bigger cases handled by Tong Wanyue both appear in the story.
As they watched with an interesting attitude, they saw some differences between the case and what they knew.
After reading to the end, what else is there to not understand?
This story provides a very good explanation for why in reality, they learned that Tong Wanyue was involved but was not the main person to receive the credit.
It really makes me angry just looking at it.
The bureau called the Xihe Police Station to look for Tong Wanyue.
The person on the other end of the phone asked her, "Does the story in the North City Evening News have anything to do with you?"
Tong Wanyue naturally also read the evening paper from the previous day. She was silent for two seconds and said, "I didn't write it." Whether it had anything to do with her or not depended on the leader's understanding.
"Is what it says true? You know what I mean."
"If you want to ask if I shot the criminal, but in the end, the reward was given to my colleague, I can only say that this is the case."
He said angrily, "Why don't you open your mouth and explain to your superiors why you insisted on looking for Chen Mazi's trace in North City. Where did that energy go?"
"That's different."
Tong Wanyue's old leader naturally believed what she said, and even had some protective mentality, thinking that the police officers sent out from our bureau had their credit taken away by others when they got to the lower levels, which was really infuriating.
When Tong Wanyue wanted to go to Xihe, everyone looked at her as if she were crazy. How could the police station compare with their branch? The police officers in the police station were trying their best to be transferred to the branch, but she actually wanted to go to the police station. Isn't this crazy? The bureau was reluctant to let such a talented police officer leave, but they could not persuade her firm attitude. Both parties agreed that Tong Wanyue would go down to gain experience for two years and then continue to work in the branch.
There was a case where the daughter of a wealthy family married a poor boy despite her parents' opposition. However, the poor boy did not know how to cherish their precious daughter and flirted with other girls, leaving their precious daughter alone and sad.
"What do you want to do?" The matter has been finalized, and even the leader cannot interfere. However, he really wants to cherish talent, so he asked Tong Wanyue this.
It was a test for her, to test whether she had an open mind. A person with a narrow mind could not go far.
Tong Wanyue's reaction satisfied him. She said, "There's no need to talk about the past. It's enough to bring the murderer to justice."
"You've been down there for a while, it's time to come back."
Tong Wanyue didn't want to go back. She had only been here for half a year, which was too short a time.
The person on the other end of the phone also considered this issue, "Then stay for a few more months and come back to the bureau."
Although the matter has not been finalized, it does not affect Tong Wanyue to tell Jiang Ling about it in advance. She comforted her softly, "Even if you change departments, you can come to my house when you miss me. I will come to see you often when I am free."
"All right."
Jiang Ling stepped on the ground to try on the new shoes and she really liked this birthday gift.
Others only care about how far she has walked, but only Tong Wanyue cares about whether her feet are warm.
Song Guanshu pursed his lips and said, "The state-owned shopping mall will not close after you get off work. We will go to the mall tomorrow to buy you new shoes, new shoes that are better looking than this pair."
Jiang Ling didn't know what he was struggling with, so she said without thinking, "I already have new shoes, so there's no need to buy more."
In this age where food and clothing are a concern, she has also learned to be thrifty.
"Then go buy some new clothes." He coaxed her, "I heard there are a lot of beautiful new clothes in Guangzhou and Shanghai."
Jiang Ling felt that he was a little weird today. "I'm not short of clothes. You know, my second sister brought me a lot of clothes and pants when she came to our house last time. I also bought some new autumn clothes a few days ago."
"Why do you keep asking me to spend money today? The factory isn't making any money right now, and there are so many places to spend money. You should spend it sparingly." She looked at him as if he were a husband who was wasting money and didn't know how to live. "Comrade Song Guanshu, you used to be very good at living, what happened to you now?"
If Song Guanshu had not been frugal in the past, he probably would not have been able to save so much money.
"But it's your birthday today."
Jiang Ling said helplessly: "I don't care about birthdays. It's good enough for everyone to get together for a meal. There's no need to give birthday gifts. Besides, something I give tomorrow has nothing to do with birthday gifts."
Jiang Ling thought she had successfully convinced him, but she didn't expect Song Guanshu to slowly lift up his skirt. He looked conflicted, "Today is your birthday after all. If you really want to touch me, it's not impossible."
Jiang Ling:! ?
