Siheyuan: Starting to work in the security department

next day

Niu Ping'an was about to go on patrol with Bai Yi when Yang Zhen, the head of the Public Security Section, came to the office of Team 4.

"Chief Yang!"

Xia Aijun greeted Yang Zhen.

When the four team members heard Xia Aijun's voice, they all looked at Yang Zhen curiously.

Everyone speculated about Yang Zhen's purpose of coming to the four teams.

"Ah."

Yang Zhen nodded slightly to Xia Aijun, and then said:

“Hello everyone, I am here today to give you rewards.

In the operation the night before, our four teams captured a wanted criminal. The operation was successfully completed and the Ministry of Public Security was very satisfied.

All members of Team 4 were rewarded with 20 yuan in cash and 5 kilograms of food coupons.

The cows are safe! "

"To!"

Niu Ping'an stood out from the crowd and answered loudly.

"Comrade Niu Ping'an bravely fought the criminals and made the greatest contribution. He will be rewarded with an additional 50 yuan in cash and a three-turn one-ring bill.

Ping An, come to my office and get it later."

"Yes!"

"Okay, everyone get busy!"

Yang Zhen acted decisively and left the office after he finished speaking.

As soon as Yang Zhen left, everyone started talking happily, and occasionally looked at Niu Ping'an with envy.

In the past, there were some rewards given out for each action, but they were all very light and just for the sake of meaning.

This time they not only distributed money but also food coupons. It was obvious that the higher-ups had made a lot of money, otherwise they wouldn't be so generous.

Everyone was also benefiting from Niu Ping'an's help and showed goodwill to him.

"Safe, congratulations!"

"We can be said to be enjoying peace and happiness this time."

……

"Haha, I'm just lucky. We're all comrades, you're welcome!"

Niu Ping'an laughed it off and said that these people were all shrewd people, but it was okay to get along with them. They were purer than most people.

“Luck is also part of strength!

Okay, get busy!

Ping An, go to Section Chief Yang and collect your reward first."

Xia Aijun dispersed the noisy crowd.

"Okay, Captain Xia!"

Niu Ping'an responded.

Patrolling is time-consuming, and if you encounter a trivial matter, half a day will be gone.

Can't keep the leader waiting for too long, get the reward first.

"Chief Yang!"

In the section chief's office, Niu Ping'an knocked on the door and entered.

"Ping An, you are here, sit down first."

Yang Zhen stopped what he was doing and asked Niu Ping'an to sit down and chat.

"Thank you, Chief."

Niu Ping'an said politely and sat down on the chair obediently.

"Ping An, you have made a great contribution this time, and you should be promoted.

But you've only been working here for a short time. You were promoted two levels right after being transferred to our Public Security Department. It would be a bit unreasonable to promote you again.

There is nothing we can do about this as the length of service is too low.

I can only give you some practical rewards, and I hope you won’t have any ideas.”

Yang Zhen's words were full of helplessness and sincerity, and Niu Ping'an couldn't tell the truth from the false for a moment.

But judging from the goodwill value of more than 40 points, he should not be lying.

"Don't worry, Chief. I'm still young and there are plenty of opportunities."

Even if Yang Zhen was telling a lie, Niu Ping'an had to admit it.

Niu Ping'an is not a fool. There is no need to offend his leader for a little profit. It would be a pity if he was framed.

“It’s good that you think this way. Sometimes being promoted too quickly may not be a good thing. I hope you can calm down.

But don’t worry, the credit will be recorded.”

Yang Zhen nodded with satisfaction and gave Niu Ping'an some advice.

"I understand. Thank you for your advice, Chief."

Niu Ping'an showed gratitude on his face, but his heart was calm.

No matter whether Yang Zhen was sincerely giving him advice or was trying to PUA him, Niu Ping'an didn't take it too seriously.

As long as you have no desires or demands, you won’t be afraid of being plotted against!

"Well, what kind of three-turn-one-ring ticket do you want?"

"I already have a bicycle, so just give me a radio ticket."

Three turns and one sound, that is: watch, bicycle, sewing machine and radio.

This was the top-notch item for weddings in the 1970s, and each of them was a big item in the 1960s.

Niu Ping'an already has a bicycle and a watch. Considering the lack of entertainment in today's life, it would be nice to have a radio to listen to some music.

"Okay, you're almost getting married, so buy something big so that it will be easier to find a wife."

Yang Zhen teased, and took out a radio ticket and five big black ten notes from the drawer and handed them to Niu Ping'an.

"Hey, it's still early!"

Niu Ping'an took the money with both hands, put it in his pocket without even looking at it, then scratched his head embarrassedly, looking very honest.

But I feel a little bitter inside, because I am still a little young.

“Time flies by quickly, work hard!

OK, let’s get back to work.”

Yang Zhen casually encouraged Niu Ping'an and prepared to see him off.

"Yes! Goodbye, Chief!"

Niu Ping'an was not familiar with Yang Zhen, so there was nothing much to say and he just said goodbye and left.

Back in the office, everyone else was out on patrol, and Bai Yi smoked a cigarette while waiting for Niu to come back safely.

"Old White, shall we walk too?"

Bai Yi nodded, put out his cigarette, and the two walked out side by side.

"Did the section chief paint a rosy picture for you?"

The two of them were familiar with each other, and Bai Yi didn't hide anything and asked whatever he wanted to ask.

"That's it!"

Niu Ping'an thought about it and replied.

"Hehe, these leaders have evil hearts."

Bai Yi had an expression that said "as expected".

After all, when Yang Zhen went to the office to announce the matter, Niu Ping'an, as the participant with the greatest contribution, only received some monetary rewards.

Although it’s a lot, it’s only temporary.

If I get a promotion, how much money can I get back?

“It’s all small stuff, and I don’t want to be in the spotlight.

I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but if that guy hadn't wanted to draw his gun, I wouldn't have stopped him."

Niu Ping'an didn't care at all, instead he thought it was better this way.

"Hehe...you really believed my nonsense."

Seeing that Niu Ping'an didn't seem to be pretending, Bai Yi teased him.

"It's just cowardice!"

"Haha, being timid has its advantages. It helps you live longer!"

"Brother is still insightful..."

The two of them joked with each other casually as their backs gradually walked away.

Early on Sunday morning, Niu Ping'an slept in for a rare time.

Today is Yan Jiecheng's wedding day, and Niu Ping'an left his bicycle at Yan's house last night.

So as to avoid being woken up early in the morning in the winter.

It's the end of the month and it's snowing again. It's a pain to get married in this weather.

It was almost noon when Niu Ping'an reluctantly left bed and got up to wash.

I went to the pool in the middle courtyard to wash up. Qin Huairu was the only one washing clothes in the snow by the pool.

The laundry lady deserves her name!

Qin Huairu's brows showed fatigue.

She has to go to work, take care of the family, and wash clothes for Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu.

Qin Huairu is almost being used by five people, and she is pregnant, so she has to be careful in everything she does.

There are two manure-making machines at home. If it weren't for Sha Zhu's support, Qin Huairu would have given up long ago.

Even so, the old and the young in the family complained every day that they were not eating enough and not eating well.

There was no more benefit to be gained from the factory, so Qin Huairu could only increase the intensity of sucking the fool column.

While sucking the fool pillar, he also had to look for a way out of the situation, but the results were minimal and he was physically and mentally exhausted.

"Ping An, just got up?"

Qin Huairu, with her mind full of thoughts, saw Niu Ping'an approaching and greeted him politely.

"Well, it's so cold, why doesn't Sister Huairu add some hot water?"

When someone greeted him, Niu Ping'an had no choice but to respond. Seeing that Qin Huairu's hands were red from the cold, he said something casually.

"Hey, we can barely afford to eat at home, where can we get extra coal to boil water?"

Qin Huairu's eyes turned red and her face was full of sorrow.

Niu Ping'an nodded without comment, picked up the toothbrush and started washing.

When Qin Huairu saw that Niu Ping'an did not respond to her, she felt powerless.

The tricks that always work on other men always fail on Niu Ping'an.

People simply don't want to communicate with her.

"By the way, Yan Jiecheng from the front yard is getting married today, and the bride is so beautiful.

It's a pity that you didn't see Ping An!"

Seeing that Niu Ping'an ignored her, Qin Huairu tried to find something to say.

"Oh, you can see it when you go to the banquet later."

Niu Ping'an's words ended the topic, and Qin Huairu felt helpless.

"Ping An, the New Year is coming soon, you must be lonely, why don't you spend it with us?

When the time comes, call on Zhuzi and Yushui, it will be more lively with more people!"

There was no other way, Qin Huairu could only state her purpose.

He can bring Niu Pingan along to celebrate the New Year together, so he won't come empty-handed, right?

At that time, not only can we get closer to each other, but we can also have a good meal, which is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

"No need, Sister Huairu, I'm used to living alone."

Niu Ping'an refused outright. He didn't want to be attached to the Jia family.

Besides, the Jia family has so many mouths to feed, it would be a huge loss.

"That's so lonely!"

Qin Huairu's face turned ugly when she saw Niu Ping'an repeatedly rejected her.

"I'm done washing, sister-in-law Huairu, you go ahead and do your work!"

Niu Ping'an didn't want to listen to Qin Huairu's nagging, so he packed up his toiletries and turned back to the backyard.

Qin Huairu looked at Niu Ping'an who was leaving quickly and spat on the ground in indignation.
