Sweet 80s

Zhou Zheng’s only interaction with the police station was the batch of bicycles stolen by his brother-in-law Wu Xiaoliang.

Could there be any progress in the case?

Thinking of this, he ran back upstairs to answer the phone.

Sure enough, the other party mentioned something about bicycles as soon as he opened his mouth.

But the police didn't say much on the phone. The general content was to ask me to cooperate with the investigation of the case and to go there today.

Since it involved a theft case, Zhou Zheng didn't dare to say anything nonsense no matter how irrational he was. After get off work at noon, he didn't even go home, but went straight to the police station.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhou Zheng saw a few young men sitting inside, wearing short-sleeved shirts and shorts and a pair of t-flops on their feet.

The ruffian look can still be felt even from a distance of several meters.

At this time, a policeman not far away walked towards them, stood up, and waved his hand to signal Zhou Zheng to come over.

When he came in front of the few people, the policeman said, "Come and look around to see if there is anyone you know."

Several dark and thin men hung their heads, not daring to look up and meet Zhou Zheng's gaze.

The policeman yelled, "Keep your head up!"

The men then stood up straight, with their hands behind their backs, like students who were being criticized for making mistakes.

When Zhou Zheng saw their faces, his eyes widened.

Several people had scars of varying degrees on their faces and bodies, and one of them stood out among them.

This man was nearly two meters tall, and even the strong policeman standing next to him looked a head shorter than him.

Not only was he tall, but the injuries on his face were also the most serious.

Black eye sockets, swollen mouth and nose, and dried blood hanging from the corners of the mouth.

There were bruises and bumps everywhere, and the scars were too painful to look at.

Zhou Zheng curled his lips and was about to look away from the man when suddenly, the man accidentally touched the wound.

"Shaha~" A painful groan once again caught Zhou Zheng's attention.

Because the man's face was swollen and his facial features were crowded together, Zhou Zheng was unable to notice the other person in time at first.

This time, Zhou Zheng looked up and down, and the more he looked, the more familiar he felt.

He frowned and took a few steps forward.

When the other party's absolute height advantage created a sense of oppression for him, Zhou Zheng suddenly remembered his identity.

He quickly took a few steps back, pointed his finger at the other person, and wanted to say something but couldn't, so he stammered nervously as he spoke out.

"You, you, you are...Xiaoliang's friend...the one who beat me that day..."

The policeman on the side was waiting for this sentence.

"You know him?"

"Yes, comrade policeman, he is a friend of my brother-in-law."

"You mean, he is Wu Xiaoliang's friend?"

Zhou Zheng nodded repeatedly to confirm.

"You just said that he beat you?"

"Yes."

Then, Zhou Zheng recounted the whole process without reservation, how he found out that Wu Xiaoliang had stolen the car, and how he angrily went to look for him but failed, and was beaten for nothing.

The police nodded with satisfaction and asked, "What about these people? Were they the ones who beat you?"

Because these people were strong and most of them were hooligans, they could only swallow the beatings themselves.

This anger won't be suppressed for a while.

Zhou Zheng felt extremely happy when he saw that several people would eventually fall into his hands.

He held his head high, his eyes were shining, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were filled with an indescribable sense of pride.

He looked among the several people again and again, but unfortunately the lighting was not good that night. Apart from the tall man with obvious recognizable features, he could not recognize the others.

Seeing that his lie was exposed, the tall man hung his head in dejection and squatted on the ground, completely losing his rebellious spirit.

"Comrade police, what happened? Have you solved the bicycle theft case, or are you planning to arrest my brother-in-law?"

The policeman did not answer immediately, but waved his hand and led him to the gate of the police station.

"I asked you to come here today just to identify the relationship between these people and Wu Xiaoliang. As for other issues, I can't say more."

"Oh, I see. Then, about the bicycle case..."

Zhou Zheng is still worried that his bicycle will be confiscated as evidence one day, just like Wu Aimin's.

"Let's talk about the car theft case later."

Call ~

Only then did Zhou Zheng feel relieved.

After leaving the police station, he felt a lot more relaxed. Looking at the time, he realized that he wouldn't be able to stay at home for long, so he went straight back to work.

Lin Xiangdong also arrived early, thinking that he had a lot to say, so in case Liang Fengshou had trouble accepting the reality for a while, he would give him some time to persuade him.

More than two hours later, Lin Xiangdong arrived at the Liang family.

Liang Fengshou is young, and although his leg injury is serious, he recovers quickly.

After completing the discharge procedures, you can go home and rest.

Zhonggu County, where the Liang family lives, is a well-developed county in Nanhe City, and the villages are relatively wealthy.

“Is Fengshou at home?”

When Liang Xiaozao heard the shouting outside, she hurriedly put down the basin of water in her hand and rushed out.

Lin Xiangdong had been in and out of the hospital several times, so Liang Xiaozao was somewhat familiar with him.

"You are Xiaolin, Fengshou's colleague, right?"

"Yes, sister, I'm here to see the harvest." After saying that, Lin Xiangdong handed over the things he had bought in advance.

Last time I was in a hurry, I went to visit the patient empty-handed.

Therefore, before Lin Xiangdong came, Wang Shuping had already prepared for him the common "three-item set" for visiting a patient, which included eggs, fruits, and health products.

When Liang Xiaozao took the things from the other person, his body sank down and he said politely, "Oh, why did you buy so many things? Take them back. You can't finish them."

"If you can't finish it, just eat it slowly."

Liang Xiaozao led Lin Xiangdong into the house, and shouted to the inside as they walked: "Mom, Fengshou, there are guests."

After entering the house, Liang's mother twisted her body and walked out quickly, and saw things all over the floor at a glance.

When she looked at Lin Xiangdong, there was no arrogance in her eyes anymore, and her words and actions were much more gentle and calm.

"Xiao Lin is here."

"Hello, Auntie. I'm here to see the harvest."

"Go ahead, he's resting in the house."

As she spoke, Liang's mother led Lin Xiangdong into a spacious house.

There are windows on three of the four walls of the house.

As soon as you enter, you can feel that there is plenty of light and good ventilation.

The house is fully furnished, and there are flowers, plants and other decorations on the windowsill.

Even the floor is different from the hall, the cement is thicker and smoother.

It is not difficult to see from the details that Liang's mother's attitude towards her son is beyond that of many ordinary families.

Liang Fengshou could already hear Lin Xiangdong's voice through the door.

As soon as Lin Xiangdong entered the room, he saw him using his arms to help himself sit up straight, so he quickly took a few steps forward to help.

"Fifth brother, how come you have time to come here?"

Seeing that Liang Fengshou was in good mental state, Lin Xiangdong felt much more relieved.

Liang Xiaozao brought a stool from outside and was about to sit down when she was stopped by Liang's mother.

"Zao'er, let's go out and let them talk."

"No need, Auntie. Please take a seat. What I am going to talk about next is about the company. Please listen and make up your mind."

After everyone sat down, Lin Xiangdong first stated that he was here on behalf of the unit for this conversation, and repeated the contents of the announcement verbatim.

Liang Fengshou seemed to have anticipated such an outcome and did not show any extreme emotions.

Compared to a car accident, a job change is really nothing.

Liang's mother listened quietly. She wanted to ask several times, but she held it back every time.

Liang Xiaozao did interrupt a few times.

She was confused by the explanation in the notice: "The transfer means that Fengshou will be assigned a new job, right?"

"Yes."

"So it's still at the transport company, right?"

“Yes, but the salary will be adjusted due to different job content.”

"How do you adjust it?"

"The basic monthly salary is 45."

"What, that, that's much less than before, mom, look at this..."

Liang Xiaozao turned around anxiously, and when she saw that Liang's mother had no reaction, she calmed down a lot, and just muttered quietly: "Why is this unit like this? Isn't this just killing the donkey after it has done its work?"

"Compared to salary, this is not the most important thing."

"What else?"

"His position is actually..."

Before Lin Xiangdong could finish his words, Liang Fengshou interrupted him.

"It's just like the saline-alkali land east of our village. You can plant whatever you want, but there will be no harvest. When the village policy changes, they can take it back."

"What? That's too unstable. Isn't this cheating?"

The vivid metaphor made Liang Xiaozao excited again, and she shouted that she wanted to go to the unit to talk to her leader.

Lin Xiangdong looked at Liang's mother, who was as calm as a pool of stagnant water. To be honest, he felt a little distressed.

It’s pitiful for all parents. She no longer has the strong will she had when she first arranged a job for her son and can only accept everything silently.

"One more thing..."

"Stop talking, Xiaolin. This is too rude of the company. Well, take me with you when you go back. I need to talk to your leader..."

"Sister, please let Brother Wu finish what he is saying."

Liang's mother beside her pulled her, and Liang Xiaozao sat down.

"I thought, it's better to be prepared in advance than to be fired later. I found a new job for Fengshou..."

"New job?" After listening for so long, Liang's mother finally spoke.

"Correct."

"How could they be willing to..." Liang's mother didn't dare to say it out loud, for fear that Liang Fengshou would think too much.

Lin Xiangdong smiled: "It's all settled, he can go to work anytime!"

A deep smile instantly broke out on Liang's mother's face, but tears welled up in her eyes.

Lin Xiangdong turned around and looked at Liang Fengshou.

After so many days, he finally saw a smile on this man's face.

It is like after experiencing countless storms, it is as steady and unshakable as a mountain, and is full of passion and hope for future life.
