After visiting Wangjiawan to pay New Year's greetings to stonemason Wang, Xiao Zhen drove to Nanshan without anyone noticing.
He spent the entire afternoon by the roadside in the dense pine forest that was his former home.
He didn't know why this feeling was so strong. He now had a family that couldn't be happier, and his father was fully capable of protecting him.
Even if he does nothing now, the income from his copyrights can allow him to live a life better than 99.999% of the people.
But Xiao Zhen was lonely. He couldn't find his home or anyone he was familiar with.
Xiao Zhen is a guy who has lived too well and has become a literary youth and wants to find excitement.
This guy also wants to go out and work as a private defense contractor with his Quantum Security Special Affairs Department, that is, to be a mercenary.
If this kid brings this up, I guarantee his father Xiao Zhengtang will hang him up and beat him.
His father has been a frequent flyer for years, why? It’s because of the three debt collectors in the family!
Otherwise, being a landlord and stall owner with the ownership of half a floor in Chaotianmen Wholesale Market can be said to be a comfortable life.
Xiao Zhen returned to Lijiatuo and was about to drive back to the fork in the road when he saw Hu Dongquan in police uniform at the intersection.
"Hu Dongquan!" Xiao Zhen pulled over, turned off the engine, and yelled at the top of his lungs.
Hu Dongquan looked in several directions and Xiao Zhen shouted again.
"Xiao Zhen? Is it really you? You haven't been in Yuzhou since you graduated. You haven't been back for a few years, right?" Hu Dongquan knew it was a black license plate car as soon as he saw it. It must be Xiao Zhen.
Xiao Zhen got out of the car and took out a pack of cigarettes from the car to distribute, so he just gave them all to him.
"Brother Dongquan, have you graduated?" Xiao Zhen calculated that the time was wrong. His elementary school classmate is currently in his junior year of college, right?
"The college class at the police academy only lasts two years, so I graduated last year and was assigned to work at the Lijiatuo Police Station." Hu Dongquan opened the cigarette box and smoked skillfully.
"You have to go to the bureau with your major, right? Your father won't send you to the grassroots office to avoid suspicion, right?" Xiao Zhen asked.
"You know who my father is. By the way, we changed the name to Banan District.
I heard that it will become a municipality directly under the Central Government, and my dad may be transferred to the Criminal Investigation Team of the Municipal Bureau. There will be big changes after the Chinese New Year.
After my father passed away, I returned to the district bureau's criminal police team. I originally wanted to go into drug enforcement, but my grandfather cried and changed my job to the criminal police team.
I haven't heard from you in these years. Come to my small room tonight for dinner and then go home. Let's have a good chat. "Hu Dongquan asked
"Okay, are you off work? If you are, go back to your place." Xiao Zhen asked.
"I just got off work and was thinking about whether to go home for a quick meal or go get some noodles.
Let's go to the market first and I'll make you some authentic fried pig intestines." Hu Dongquan said as he got on the passenger seat.
The two childhood friends who hadn't seen each other for many years went to the vegetable market to buy ingredients and drove home. Xiao Zhen also went into the kitchen to help.
Hu Dongquan, a college student, was allocated a one-bedroom apartment, which was enough for a bachelor like him to live in, and it was kept very clean.
Hu Dongquan was about to take out the wine when Xiao Zhen told him about his experiences over the years. Neither of them drank any alcohol, they just chatted and ate. This guy's cooking was comparable to Xiao Zhen's father's.
After dinner, they exchanged phone numbers. Xiao Zhen drove home. He had lost contact with his elementary school friend, Class Leader Liu. Wang Chang was admitted to Wuhan University, Xiao Zhen's alma mater, and was probably Lei Xiaomi's junior.
His sister Guan Wenfang had average grades in junior high school, but miraculously she was admitted to a technical secondary school and worked as a welder at the Dajiang Factory.
As expected, his gluttony caused him to become a cylinder, so he put all his energy into refining his skills and has become an intermediate welder.
Xiao Zhen was thinking about their childhood trips to explore Swallow Cave and play water fights in the hot springs when Wang Chang brought people to rescue him.
He decided to go to Dajiang Factory to find his fat sister Guan Wenfang and let her take a correspondence course to avoid being affected by the wave of layoffs. However, Dajiang Factory was a military-industrial enterprise and had always been very prosperous.
The next day, Xiao Zhen went to Dajiang Factory, took out his military officer ID to register, asked about his sister Guan's situation, and then went to Guan Wenfang's parents' home. Xiao Zhen knocked on the door with things in his hand from the car.
A big girl opened the door and asked doubtfully: "Excuse me, who are you looking for?"
"Sister Wenfang, I'm so heartbroken. You don't even know your most handsome little brother in town!" Xiao Zhen said jokingly.
"Ahhh, Xiaozhuang, why did you come to my house? Come in, come in and sit down." His sister Wenfang is still so outgoing.
"Wenfang, who is this?"
A middle-aged woman with the same build as his sister Wenfang poked her head out of the kitchen and asked, this should be her mother.
"Happy New Year, Auntie. I am Xiao Zhen, an elementary school classmate of Sister Wenfang. After graduation, I went to study in another province. This year I have time to go back to Banan for the New Year. My home is at a fork in the road." Xiao Zhen said
"Oh, who was I thinking? It's the small town. The little kid has grown up now. He's tall and strong. You're still studying, right? You have good grades. Your dad and his family are back for the New Year!" asked Guan's mother.
"It's been half a year since I graduated with my PhD and have been studying in Shanghai. My dad and my whole family came back to Chalukou to celebrate the New Year.
It was only yesterday in Lijiatuo that I found out about Sister Wenfang when I met Hu Dongquan who works at the Public Security Bureau.
My sister Wenfang took good care of me when I was studying. Xiao Zhen said while sitting on the sofa.
“Drink water, little town brother, how come you’ve grown so tall and are you still writing books after all these years of graduation?
I have read every one of your books. Tell me how you have been these past few years. " Guan Wenfang asked while peeling an apple with a knife.
"My father originally planned for me to study in Beijing after graduation, but after a few days of adapting, I contracted typhoid fever, so I was sent to the Fudan High School Affiliated School in Shanghai for junior high school.
