Chapter 229 Deputy Director Liu!
Zhong Yuemin hugged his wife tighter.
"Xiaobai, I will only marry one wife, and that's you. Do you understand?"
"Keep your word!"
"Of course, don't come back at night."
Zhou Xiaobai hits someone lightly.
"No, your grandpa, dad, and uncle are all here. What's the point of me staying here? Forget what my dad told you when I was at my house before? You have to take me back after midnight."
"Okay!" Not very interested.
Zhou Xiaobai kissed his sweetheart on the cheek, "Go back to school, go back... I will do whatever you want."
They didn't get to eat the meat, and the two of them chatted casually. Time passed quickly. After midnight, a group of people set off firecrackers in the yard. It was lively for a while, but they couldn't resist the sleepiness and went home one by one. He drove the three girls back. There was nothing to do in the first month of the year, so he spent time with his family and his good friends. It was rare for them to come back, so they got together for a meal. He went to Wujia Village in Fangshan District to visit his master's wife. After more than a year of taking medicine and recuperating, his lung disease was completely cured. His master and Xiaoyang did not come back and stayed in Hong Kong Island.
Time passed quickly. As the Spring Festival was drawing to a close, his grandfather, eldest uncle, and second uncle returned to the Northeast. When he was packing up and preparing to go back, a rather unexpected person came to see him. It was Liu Daqiang, the captain of the criminal police team of the West District Branch. Through the conversation, he was promoted to deputy director and was given a regular position.
The two met in a teahouse outside, and Zhong Yuemin said:
"Deputy Director Liu, no, I'm afraid the word 'Deputy' will have to be removed immediately. I should just call him Director Liu."
"Alright, kid, stop teasing me. I've worked so hard to get promoted to deputy director. It's no exaggeration to say it's as difficult as climbing to the sky if I want to move up. Just call me Brother Liu."
Zhong Yuemin nodded.
"How are you doing in northern Shaanxi? With your abilities, you'll be able to thrive anywhere."
"I'm not going to be able to thrive anywhere. Northern Shaanxi is an endless expanse of undulating yellow earth. Most of the year, the sky is filled with yellow sand. It's incredibly hard. The commune I worked in, the brigades below, were practically out of food by November or December. Groups of people went to the county town to beg for food. We planted rice, dug manure, and hunted wolves. We learned a lot of skills to be a proper beggar. I'm dressed respectably today. If I were in northern Shaanxi, you wouldn't recognize me if we ran into each other on the street."
"Is it that exaggerated?"
Liu Daqiang looked at the people and said:
"I see you've become stronger, a little tanned, and in good spirits."
"I'm the director of the commune now. I haven't been working in the fields for more than a year. I've been sitting in the office. I've recovered."
"Oh, you're quite good, you're already the director of a commune in your early twenties. I think you can make it big."
"No, I was just lucky and made it in time. Plus, the county educated youth director there was my father's former bodyguard, so that's how I got in."
"Has your father come out yet?"
"A few months before the New Year, soon, I'll introduce you to each other when I have the chance."
"How can I, a small captain like you, be compared to someone of your father's level? I'm not even close to him."
"Brother Liu, you're being too modest. My dad is from the military, and you're from the local government. We're in different systems. You know the situation out there right now. No one knows what accidents might happen tomorrow. Maybe one day I'll need your help, especially someone like you who holds real power."
