Two days later, Zhou Pan knocked on the door of Lao Shi's house again.
Mrs. Shi opened the door and saw the other party carrying a lot of things, her face immediately broke into a smile: "Oh, Comrade Zhou is here, come in quickly. Mom, Comrade Zhou is here——"
Su Sanlan hurriedly put on her shoes: "Xiao Zhou, just come over. Why do you bring so many things? We have everything we need at home."
Shi Liu followed him out of the house and told her that the family lacked everything except people. As for the things Zhou Pan brought, most of them were obtained by signing in over the years.
Ever since she accepted Zhou Pan back, they'd been inseparable. Since she had extra money, there was no need to waste it. Besides, Zhou Pan had already given her a passbook with a five-digit figure. As soon as Shi Liu saw the figure, she knew Zhou Pan wasn't a good person and was definitely connected to the black market.
Su Sanlan opened it and saw that her future son-in-law was too generous. He gave her more than 20 feet of cloth, two thermoses, White Rabbit milk candies, peach cakes... ordinary people don’t have so many good things when they marry their daughters. No, these are all her daughter’s and no one else can touch them.
"My daughter, I'll put them all in your room. You can enjoy the peach cakes and other things slowly. As for the fabric, I'll ask your sister-in-law to make you two new sets of clothes."
When Shi Liu heard this, she knew her mother didn't plan to give the food to the rest of the family, so she quickly stopped her and said, "Mom, I don't lack food. Besides, Zhou Pan's salary is all with me. I can buy whatever I want to eat."
Su Sanlan had never expected her son-in-law to hand over his salary before her daughter even got married. She was so happy that she thought, "Okay, then I'll make them each a new set of clothes. It would be a real treat for them. Who makes two sets of clothes a year these days?"
Brother Shi and the others were sitting on the stools like quails. Last time, the eldest sister brought a lot of cloth from the sea market, and the mother arranged for everyone in the family to get a set of clothes. Now they got a new set of clothes thanks to the eldest sister, and they were feeling guilty at the moment.
Not to mention that the things were originally prepared by Shi Liu, even if he bought them, as gifts for his mother-in-law, they were his mother-in-law's things. As for how to distribute them, he really didn't care: "Mom, you can do with the things. As for Shi Liu, I will buy her something."
Shi Liu pouted at the side. Zhou Pan's calling of "Mom" became more and more fluent. It seemed that he had coaxed her mother so much that she wished she could marry him off immediately.
Qiao Hongbin was busy outside and when he came back he saw his friend's flattering expression and his face couldn't help but twist.
After seeing this, Zhou Pan still went his own way. He was a selfish person, and few people could influence his thoughts except Shi Liu.
Qiao Hongjun took the time to walk over to Zhou Pan and whispered, "It's basically confirmed. Next, we'll start the arrest. This time, we won't have to go through the Public Security Bureau. You can just act directly. As for the reason, use the arrest of the black market dealer as an excuse."
Zhou Pan had no objection to this: "Okay, I'll let Chen Guofeng start the action."
Qiao Hongjun turned to other things, "Qiao Hongbin was really scared this time. He used to like to tease young girls, but now I see him moving around with Gu Aiguo. If this continues, I'm starting to suspect they're having an affair."
Zhou Pan teased, "Have you heard about that rumor too?" To be honest, when Shi Liu first told him about this, he almost died of laughter. A playboy was actually suspected of having a homosexual fetish just because he was avoiding a woman. Hahahaha...
Qiao Hongjun was actually secretly happy in his heart, but the other party was his own brother after all. If the matter got out of hand, he might not be able to get away with it, so he asked the captain to help clarify it. As for whether the clarification was clear or not, he didn't care, he had done his best anyway.
"That Liu Tiantian spread the news. Oh, and based on what others have described, there's something fishy about that Liu Piaoxu too. We might as well take her in for investigation as well. She's also involved in the black market, so we have a good excuse."
"In this regard, Qiao Hongbin's luck isn't as good as yours. There aren't many women chasing after him, and the two best ones have issues. Zhou Pan, when are you planning on bringing Shi Liu to meet your old man?"
Zhou Pan: "Don't worry. Shi Liu is studying now, and she's not old enough to get married yet. Let's wait until next year."
Qiao Hongjun smiled and patted Zhou Pan on the shoulder. "I almost forgot, your wife is still a high school student. What exactly do the higher-ups think about the college entrance exam? Have you heard anything about it?"
"Maybe it will change. Those people talked about a future where the college entrance exam will be reintroduced. Let's just wait and see."
"I actually hope the college entrance exam can be restarted sooner rather than later. You have no idea the level of those recommended for university these days. Tsk tsk, it's a headache just to mention it. There are even some who can't even reach the level of elementary school graduates. My God—"
Zhou Pan naturally knew about these things. In his opinion, the college entrance examination might not be perfect, but it was indeed a good way to select talents: "My grandfather said long ago that the college entrance examination would be restored sooner or later."
"Actually, that's what my dad said, otherwise he wouldn't have been so happy to send Qiao Hongbin to the countryside." Qiao Hongjun smirked at this. "If the old man knew his beloved youngest son had such a colorful life in the countryside, I wonder if he would regret it. At this point, it's too late to regret it."
Qiao's father was actually a nice guy, but he was a bit confused about relationships. Plus, his status meant he was always tempted by all sorts of women. So, in addition to his half-brother, Qiao Hongbin, Qiao Hongjun also had a half-sister. And with three different mothers, he was a playboy. It was a relief that relationships were being scrutinized so strictly these days, otherwise Qiao Hongjun would have had several more half-brothers and half-sisters.
Perhaps because of their similar family background, two people who are only five or six years apart in age became good friends.
Zhou Pan sneered, "Then his idea is wrong. According to those people's memories, the official launch of the college entrance examination will take another five or six years. Qiao Hongbin is now at the age when he should make great achievements. If he is delayed, it will be difficult for him to catch up."
"Maybe my dad's idea might really succeed." After all, many reborn people have expressed the necessity of the college entrance examination, and the higher-ups will make some corresponding changes. Qiao Hongjun couldn't help but sigh that his younger brother was quite lucky.
Zhou Pan breathed a sigh of relief: "Maybe. No matter what, he won't be able to get the Qiao family's connections without you. You can rest assured about that."
"My dad is good in this respect. No matter how much that woman tries to please him, in his heart, his original wife's son status is the most precious."
Zhou Pan thought that Qiao's father was probably what later generations would call a male chauvinist, but it was good enough that his good friend benefited from it.
