Chapter 80 Officer Zhou’s Wife

His wife Wu Yuanyuan pretended to ask casually: "Lao Zhou, how are you going to divide the meat of the wild boar? Will the locals let you move away?" Lao Zhou looked at his wife, feeling a little confused. He didn't understand why his wife asked that.

Lao Zhou smiled and replied: "Of course we share it equally among the villagers. We can't monopolize this wild boar. And the locals are very friendly. When we were on patrol, they even invited us to have dinner with them."

Wu Yuanyuan felt a little disappointed after hearing this, but she still forced a smile and nodded: "It's as it should be. Only with the cooperation between the police and the people can your work be carried out smoothly. It's a win-win situation. Husband, you are wise."

However, she began to think in her heart that if she could sell so much wild boar meat in the market, she would definitely make a lot of money. After all, her family was not well off, and any extra income could make a difference.

It's a pity that the wild boar meat has been divided up. What a big deal! What a fool.

Officer Zhou was thinking that the wild boar meat could be used to make braised pork, wild boar meat soup and other delicacies, and he couldn't help but feel happy. He even began to imagine how satisfied he would feel when he sat at the table and tasted these delicious dishes. However, at this moment, he suddenly found that Wu Yuanyuan was staring at him with an unhappy look on her face.

Officer Zhou suppressed his ecstatic expression and said with a smile, "Wife, just go for it! These were caught by the two interns who just arrived at the risk of their lives, and both of them were injured. It doesn't matter if you make more Dongpo pork. After all, it can be stored for two days. Besides, they are all young people who are growing up. It would be embarrassing if you make too little and it's not enough for them to eat."

Officer Zhou realized that his expression just now might have caused Wu Yuanyuan to misunderstand something, and hurriedly explained: "Oh, what I mean is, you decide how to cook. I'm just so happy to think that I can make so many delicious dishes." As he spoke, he smiled brightly, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.

After hearing his explanation, Wu Yuanyuan's expression eased a little, but she still muttered, "Humph, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. It's done, don't complain about it not being tasty."

When Officer Zhou heard this, his heart tightened and he quickly explained with a smile: "Wife, don't get me wrong! When have I ever disliked the food you cook? I love your cooking the most! Look at me, I'm in such good health now, I look younger than my brother! This is all because you take care of me, allowing me to eat well and sleep well. My colleagues all say that I'm gaining weight due to happiness, and it's all thanks to you! Haha." As he spoke, he affectionately put his arm around his wife's shoulders, trying to defuse the little storm with a smile and humor.

Wu Yuanyuan listened to her husband's words and thought about it carefully. It seemed to be true. She couldn't help laughing and gently pushed Officer Zhou's chest.

Said: "Okay, you're sweet. But next time when we eat, don't mention losing weight again!"

He rolled his eyes at him again: "You just know how to talk nonsense."

Officer Zhou smiled helplessly. He knew that Wu Yuanyuan had a unique sensitivity and pursuit for food, and she would react like this if there was only half a second of intervention.

Seeing Wu Yuanyuan's painful expression, Lao Zhou couldn't bear to watch any longer. He felt that staying here would only make Wu Yuanyuan angrier.

Officer Zhou thought for a moment and said in a gentle voice, "The wild boar weighed more than 490 pounds. Fortunately, the intern was equipped with a gun. If it had been seriously injured, I would have been severely punished today."

Wu Yuanyuan was cutting wild boar meat and said without raising her head, "Old Zhou, I understand. Don't worry. The Dongpo pork I made for you is fragrant and spicy. I have followed you for so many years, and if I don't even have this level of political awareness, then my life would have been in vain." The knife in her hand quickly cut the wild boar meat, and every cut seemed very skillful.

: "Well, are there any of your new interns who don't like spicy food?"

Officer Zhou thought of Haihua and Meixian: "There are two people who can't eat spicy food, so let's divide it into two pots, one for spicy food and one for non-spicy food. Honey, please prepare a bottle of chili sauce and I'll let them use it themselves. When the Dongpo pork is ready, call me and I'll come back to move it. Hehehe"

Wu Yuanyuan looked at her husband's tired appearance and suggested with concern: "Why not let them come home for dinner? This way you don't have to run back and forth, and you can have a good rest." She knew that her husband worked very hard and hoped he could relax a little.

Officer Zhou smiled, gently stroked his wife's cheek, and said softly, "I want to, too, but the police station is short-staffed right now, and even the night shift has been cancelled. Our people really can't leave for too long. But I've ordered fast food. If you help me make the Dongpo pork, I'll bring it over to my colleagues, and we can share it as a big meal."

Wu Yuanyuan nodded gently, understanding her husband's work. She added: "I will stew the Dongpo pork for a little longer, so that it will be more flavorful and delicious."

Officer Zhou replied with a smile: "I believe in your cooking skills. This dish may need to be stewed for three hours. It can then be served as a snack. Everyone will definitely like it." After saying that, he couldn't help but reveal a smug smile.

Seeing her husband's happy face, Wu Yuanyuan also laughed. Although there are many difficulties and pressures in life, as long as the family supports and cares for each other, they can overcome everything. She believes that in the future, they will be able to live happily.

Wu Yuanyuan pointed at five portions of wild boar meat and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. Are these five portions of pork to be cooked together as well?"

Officer Zhou shook his head and said, "No, I'm going to send some of these to some old friends so that they can also taste the delicious wild boar meat. Honey, I've been out for too long, I have to go back. Cut the meat slowly and be careful."

Carrying five bags of wild boar meat, he decided to run away quickly. He said hello to Wu Yuanyuan and turned away. He turned around to deliver meat to five good friends. The owner of the barbecue restaurant received the wild boar meat and gave a thumbs up to the pig-killing hero, praising his bravery and spreading the knowledge of preventing wild animal attacks throughout the town. Back at the police station, Officer Zhou threw himself into his intense work again.

At 4 p.m., Officer Zhou returned to the station after a patrol and not long after that, he received a call from Wu Yuanyuan.

"Honey, the Dongpo pork is ready. I'll bring it to you."

"No need, honey. You can have a good rest at home. I'll drive home and move it."

"You've been tired all day, so I'll take it to you and check on you at the same time." Wu Yuanyuan insisted.

Officer Zhou felt warm in his heart, "Okay then, thank you, wife."

Not long after, Wu Yuanyuan rode a tricycle borrowed from a neighbor and came to the police station with two large pots of Dongpo pork. Colleagues praised Wu Yuanyuan's cooking skills, and Officer Zhou was very happy.
