Siheyuan: Starting to work in the security department

After working all afternoon, it was already getting late. Yan Bugui got off work early and started a side job at the door.

"Hello, Uncle, your potted plants are so pretty!"

Yan Bugui had already seen Niu Ping'an, but his enthusiasm was greatly reduced when he saw that he had nothing in his hands.

"It's Ping An, are you out playing?"

"I just arrived in Sijiu City and I'm not familiar with it yet, so I went out for a walk."

"It's time to get familiar with the situation. By the way, has Baoguo arranged a job for you?"

In Yan Bugui's opinion, since Niu Baoguo brought his nephew to the city, he would definitely arrange a job for him.

The eldest son Yan Jiecheng does not have a formal job now, so Yan Bugui thought that if Niu Baoguo did not pass the work position to Niu Ping'an, he would spend some money to buy it.

He didn't dare to think about the position in the Security Department, but he was reluctant to let Yan Jiecheng go there, after all, it was somewhat dangerous.

There are many vagrants in the city who have nothing to do all day. If they meet a young and incompetent person and get stabbed by him, they will be doomed.

"I'm not sure either. Uncle didn't tell me."

Niu Ping'an had no idea what Yan Bugui was up to, so he just casually fooled him.

"Well, let's go home quickly. Baoguo must be waiting anxiously."

Seeing that he didn't get any useful information, Yan Bugui lost interest in continuing the conversation.

"Goodbye, Third Master!"

Niu Ping'an didn't want to chat with Yan Bugui any longer, so he said hello and went back to the backyard.

Whenever he met neighbors along the way, whether he knew them or not, Niu Ping'an would nod and say hello, being very polite.

Niu Baoguo was making tea and chatting with the deaf old lady at the door.

"Uncle, I'm back! Hello, old lady!"

"Well, Baoguo, your nephew is really polite."

The deaf old lady laughed so hard that her little eyes were almost invisible.

"Haha, I think so too!"

Niu Baoguo accepted all the praise from the deaf old lady without any modesty.

"Ping An, are you tired? Sit down and take a rest."

"It's OK, you guys chat while I go cook."

Niu Ping'an doesn't want to face two old, weak and sick people, it's so embarrassing!

Niu Baoguo was fine, the two of them were bound by blood and were naturally close.

The deaf old lady is different. Don’t you see that people in the hospital actually keep their distance from her?

Niu Ping'an didn't want to stay with this old lady for too long. She was not a good person!

Apart from Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu, the old lady looks down on everyone else.

Mix the corn flour that was fermented at noon and steam it, and stir-fry the sliced ​​carrots.

Eating just these was not enough, I was choking, so I made some rice soup.

The deaf old lady swallowed her saliva when she smelled the cooking. Niu Ping'an added a lot of oil.

Nowadays, the ration is small and every household is reluctant to use oil. Stir-frying is more like boiling, which makes it unappetizing.

"Uncle, it's time to eat."

"Come on! Madam, please take a rest. I have to go home and enjoy my life!"

Niu Baoguo responded and showed off to the deaf old lady.

"You are such a cool boy, you are showing off to me, an old lady."

Although the deaf old lady was greedy, she had no intention of taking a bite.

She was taken care of by Yi Zhonghai's family, and occasionally Sha Zhu would bring her food.

This is also the reason why she likes Sha Zhu. He has good skills and is willing to be close to an old woman like her.

Although other people in the courtyard were respectful to her on the surface, few of them were really willing to get close to her.

"Ha ha..."

Niu Baoguo smiled triumphantly, took the stool and went back to the house.

"Wow, Ping An, you put a lot of oil in it!"

When Niu Baoguo smelled the aroma of vegetables, he almost couldn't help but want to lecture him.

But when I think about it, I've already let it go and there's no point in saying more, so I can only suppress the thought.

Now that there were no outsiders around, Niu Baoguo could no longer bear it.

"Um...Uncle, it won't taste good without enough vegetable oil."

Niu Ping'an scratched his head embarrassedly, looking aggrieved.

"It's Ping An, it's not that uncle doesn't want to eat it, it's just that the ration is small, there's nothing we can do!"

Niu Baoguo thought Niu Ping'an didn't know the situation in the city, so he gave Niu Ping'an some basic knowledge.

“Now that the residents’ meat coupons have been stopped, eggs have become a special supply item, and those who have jobs can get some.

Each person only has a few ounces of oil per month, and an adult only has more than 20 kilograms of grain. Those who do heavy physical labor require more.

The country is in trouble now, and life in the city is not easy either.”

Niu Ping'an was not very clear about the specific situation, he only knew that many people starved to death in the country during the extremely difficult period.

But most of those who starved to death were farmers, what a irony!

This situation will not ease until after next autumn harvest.

"Uncle, I will be more careful next time."

There is still a lot of cooking oil in Niu Ping'an's space, so he is not worried about these problems.

But he still responded obediently.

Niu Baoguo was in poor health, and Niu Ping'an also wanted to give Niu Baoguo some food to nourish his body.

But firstly, he had just arrived in the city and was not very clear about the situation; secondly, the environment in the courtyard did not allow it.

I can only wait until I start working after a while, and then find a reason to take out a little every day.

"But dishes cooked with more oil are more delicious!"

After educating Niu Ping'an, Niu Baoguo picked up a piece of fried carrot with chopsticks, tasted it, and sighed.

After saying that, he laughed embarrassedly.

"Really? Vegetables need more oil!"

"Yes, yes..eat quickly!"

The two were eating with gusto when they heard shouting outside the house.

"Protect the country, protect the country!"

Niu Ping'an turned his head and looked towards the door, only to see a middle-aged man dressed as a cadre walking in quickly.

I wasn't too surprised to see two people in the room.

"Old Zhao, are you in trouble? You are still so impetuous!"

Niu Baoguo was very familiar with the visitor and even joked with him a few times.

"Baoguo, I have issued you the letter of introduction you requested.

This is your nephew Niu Ping'an, right?"

As Old Zhao spoke, he took out a letter of introduction from his bag, his eyes still looking at Niu Ping'an.

"So fast? Ping An, this is Zhao Tiezhu, the head of the Internal Affairs Section of the Security Department, my uncle's leader and comrade-in-arms.

Lao Zhao, this is my nephew Niu Ping'an, and the letter of introduction is for him."

Niu Baoguo was surprised that the letter of introduction arrived so quickly, and then he introduced the two people to each other.

The steel rolling mill’s security department is divided into several departments.

There are public security department, security department, internal affairs department, personnel department, patrol brigade and so on.

"Uncle Zhao!"

Niu Ping'an quickly put down his chopsticks, stood up and greeted Zhao Tiezhu.

"Good! You are really energetic, young man. When you get to the security department, do your best!"

Zhao Tiezhu had a good impression of Niu Ping'an. He thought the young man was energetic and good-looking.

It's just that he is too immature and too young.

"What do you mean by good work? Ping An is still too young, let's put him in a quiet position to exercise."

Niu Baoguo interrupted what Niu Ping'an was about to say. The Security Department was not safe, and Niu Baoguo didn't want Zhao Tiezhu to put him in other positions.

"Baoguo, it's a pity for such a young man to guard the warehouse!"

However, Zhao Tiezhu did not quite agree with Niu Baoguo's proposal. He believed that young people should be energetic and hardworking.

If people are put in the position of caring for the elderly, they will easily become lazy and become useless.

"Old Zhao, please don't cause any trouble for me. He is the only child in my Niu family!"

There are only two of them left in Niu Ping'an's family, uncle and nephew. Niu Baoguo is still in poor health. If something happens to Niu Ping'an again, the family line will be extinct. Of course, Niu Baoguo will not agree to this.

Zhao Tiezhu was also stunned when he heard what Niu Baoguo said and stopped trying to persuade him.

"Okay, it's up to you!"

As he said this, he handed the letter of introduction to Niu Baoguo.

"When are you going to report?"

"I just took some pictures today. Let's go after I get them."

A photo is required for employment, both for file and work permit.

"Okay. Ping An, when the time comes, come to the Security Department with your letter of introduction and I'll help you get the job."

"Okay, Uncle Zhao."

"Lao Zhao, you haven't eaten yet, eat something here."

"No, I have to go back, there are people waiting for me at home.

By the way, how are you doing?"

"That's it, just hang in there!"

"Okay, take care of yourself. Come to me if you have any problems! I'm leaving now."

"Okay! Send Lao Zhao down safely for me."

"Okay uncle!"

Zhao Tiezhu did not refuse. This was the proper etiquette for people to follow.

After sending Zhao Tiezhu out of the courtyard and watching him leave on his bicycle, Niu Pingan returned.

I picked up the letter of introduction on the table and took a look. It was actually very simple. It was just a document with an official seal, stating who was being introduced to which department.

"Uncle, can I apply for employment with this?"

Niu Ping'an had no idea about this and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

“Haha, that’s right, then you can go find Section Chief Zhao and don’t worry about other things.

Don’t slack off when you get to the security department, and follow the training every day.”

The security department has to train every day, including shooting, physical fitness, strength training, etc.

Large-scale militia training is also organized from time to time.

Niu Ping'an still had some scenes of rural militia training in his mind, and he was not unfamiliar with these.

"Okay uncle!"

He had a job, a leisurely one, and no shortage of supplies in his space. Niu Ping'an felt that a better life was beckoning to him.

After finishing his meal and washing the dishes, Niu Ping'an boiled some water, wiped his body thoroughly, and changed his clothes.

When Niu Ping'an was in the countryside, he had no shortage of clothes to wear. In the past few years, living conditions in the countryside were pretty good, and Niu Ping'an's father would make him a few new sets of clothes every year.

The general environment has been bad in recent years, and we have been modifying old clothes and patching them up when they are torn.

Although it is rather shabby, at least it is not missing anything.

"Uncle, you should also wash yourself well and change into clean clothes. I will take them out for washing tomorrow."

"Okay, Ping An, thank you for your hard work."

Niu Baoguo did not refuse, but felt a little guilty.

Logically, he, as the uncle, should be the one taking care of his nephew, but now the opposite is happening.

"What's so hard about this?"

I said this, but I felt bitter in my heart.

I don’t know how many years it has been since I last washed clothes by hand. The weather is still good now, but how will I survive in winter?

Niu Ping'an wanted to marry a wife to do the laundry and cooking, but he was still too young and could only think about it.

too difficult! It’s really difficult!
