After Wang Ying came back, Zhao Cheng had already discussed the future plan with Tian Dan. Zhao Cheng asked someone to transfer the house to Tian Dan's name, and would give it to Tian Wei Fu when there was a chance in the future.

"Oh, Mr. Zhao, you haven't changed at all! You're still so young! More than ten years have passed, and I finally see you again today!" Wang Ying excitedly shook Zhao Cheng's hand.

Although Zhao Cheng had only asked him to help look after the house and collect the rent and remit it to Zhao Cheng, he also gave Wang Ying twelve yuan as a hard work fee every year.

These twelve dollars are not a small amount of money nowadays. It is enough for an adult to live for two months.

The money saved brought a lot of benefits to Wang Ying's family, so Wang Ying was very grateful to Zhao Cheng.

"Brother Wang, this is my wife Tian Dan. We are here mainly to look at houses and transfer the ownership of the house to my wife's name!" Zhao Cheng said to Wang Ying with a smile.

"So this is Mrs. Zhao. Hello!" Wang Ying quickly shook hands with Tian Dan again.

Wang Ying knew that Zhao Cheng was very capable because he could buy two small buildings at once. Although in Peking, people might not look up to you if you are rich, but in Shanghai, you absolutely cannot offend someone if you are rich.

This was still the case even after liberation. After all, Shanghai was a commercial metropolis, unlike a capital like Beijing.

At noon, Tian Dan and Zhao Cheng had a home-cooked meal at Wang Ying's house. Since Wang Ying had to go to work in the afternoon, they did not drink.

In the afternoon, Zhao Cheng took Tian Dan to the Housing Management Office and transferred the house to Tian Dan's name. A simple gift would have been enough. After all, Zhao Cheng and Tian Dan were family. Although others didn't know it, everyone knew it now, so the transaction was most likely complete.

After Zhao Cheng and Tian Dan came out of the Housing Management Office, they went straight to the guesthouse. The house issue had been settled, and there was nothing to do next. Tian Dan planned to go shopping in Shanghai with Zhao Cheng and buy some things to bring back to Pingping and the others.

So Zhao Cheng had to work as a laborer the next day. Accompanying a woman shopping is the most tiring physical labor for a man. Tian Dan even thought that Zhao Cheng's physical strength had declined?

After hearing this, Zhao Cheng gave Tian Dan a lecture that night, so that when Tian Dan got on the train the next day, she had to be supported by Zhao Cheng.

Now Tian Dan no longer dared to rest alone with Zhao Cheng. This was really a terrible thing.

After returning to Peiping, Zhao Cheng went straight home, but Tian Dan had to go to the unit first. She had to go back quickly to see if there was any urgent matter at the unit.

Zhao Cheng took a tricycle back to Meichang Hutong with a lot of things.

After everyone came back in the evening, Tian Dan distributed gifts to everyone.

Pingping's gift was a dress. Although it didn't have many decorations, it still looked very beautiful when Pingping put it on.

After years of development by Zhao Cheng, Pingping has become more and more mature. In particular, despite having given birth to nine children, her figure has not changed, but has become even better.

Most of the rest for the children were food and toys. Zhao Cheng did not buy any clothes for the children because the clothes in China are all similar now, mainly simple, mostly blue, green and black.

The Zhao family was very happy tonight, especially Tian Dan. She and Pingping resisted Zhao Cheng and finally didn't have to suffer as much as they had in the past few days.

The next day, as soon as Zhao Cheng arrived at the unit, he received a surprising piece of news.

"Are you serious, Old Wang? These guys actually went to the suburbs to make arrangements for a fight? And it was a fight involving hundreds of people?" Zhao Cheng asked instructor Wang Tiejun in surprise.

"Yeah, no one would have thought that these kids were so daring. I heard that there were more than a hundred people who were slightly injured, more than thirty who were seriously injured, and one person died! They were all a group of kids who were only twelve or thirteen years old, and they were so cruel!" Wang Tiejun sighed.

"Isn't it true that the bigger the scale, the less likely a fight will break out? How come it suddenly became such a big deal?" Zhao Cheng was also very puzzled. How could a fight involving hundreds of people suddenly break out?

"I don't know the specific reason, but I heard that it was the kids in the compound who took the initiative to start the fight. The two gangs kept getting bigger and bigger, and the alley kids had no leader, so no one would submit to anyone else, and in the end they had to vote to decide to fight. This is the result! The one who died was the oldest, he was fourteen, and I heard he was a leader in the school. He rushed too hard, trying to gain a higher status, and ended up being surrounded by dozens of people." Wang Tiejun said.

"No, Old Wang, did you go to the scene and see it? How do you know so clearly?" Zhao Cheng looked at Wang Tiejun with a puzzled look.

"I didn't go to see it, but someone did. However, with so many people fighting, the two of them couldn't stop it! So they could only watch from the side!" said Wang Tiejun.

“Which police station are you from?”

"Shijingshan!" Wang Tiejun said unhappily.

Wang Tiejun was also furious. "You two couldn't stop it. What are the pistols on your waists for? Can't you fire a warning shot? Can you just sit there and watch with such composure?"

"That's it. These two comrades will probably lose their jobs, and even their director will be implicated!" Zhao Cheng said helplessly.

It's normal for people to protect themselves when facing danger, but they shouldn't just stand there and watch. At the very least, they could have gone back and called for backup! Zhao Cheng also felt that if they had fired warning shots earlier, the gang would have calmed down sooner and wouldn't have been separated after the backup arrived.

"That's right. I heard that the director slapped each of the two young policemen in the face. This is a typical case of misfortune coming when you are sitting at home!" Wang Tiejun also felt a little sympathetic to the director.

"In fact, he doesn't deserve any sympathy at all. I don't believe he didn't receive the news. And even if he didn't receive the news, so many children from the compound rode bicycles to their jurisdiction. How could he not know? Didn't he notice anything unusual?" Zhao Cheng was a little hesitant to agree.

"There are only five people in the Shijingshan Police Station. Who would have thought that these guys would run to the suburbs to fight? But it's also thanks to you, Zhao Cheng. Our Xizhimen Police Station is already quite remote. Many fights used to happen in Taoranting or Ditan Park. Now that you have started the patrol system, the police in this city are basically on the streets during the day. It's not easy for them to gather together, so they can only gather in the suburbs on a small scale!" Wang Tiejun pointed at Zhao Cheng and said with a smile.

Zhao Cheng felt quite innocent. How could he be held responsible for this? However, Zhao Cheng understood Wang Tiejun's intentions. Those parks simply couldn't accommodate so many people fighting. Now that they were in the suburbs, there were plenty of them. Wouldn't that mean they could just call in as many people as possible?

"I guess we'll be busy soon. Each of these guys is no ordinary person. I guess the higher-ups will just give them fifty lashes each and give them a lecture before sending them back." Zhao Cheng said helplessly.

"I guess this is the only way. After all, there are too many people involved. There are almost 600 people on both sides. This is the first time I know there are so many bastards in our city of Peking." As an old revolutionary, Wang Tiejun looked down on these hooligans who had nothing to do all day long and played tricks on others.

"Okay, but Old Wang, there is a vacancy in the Shijingshan Police Station. Don't you want to fight for it?" Zhao Cheng suddenly asked in a low voice.

"I won't go. Although there are fewer things to do in Shijingshan, it is too far away and it is inconvenient to commute to get off work. I can't afford to go there with my old arms and legs!" said Wang Tiejun.

Zhao Cheng looked at his old partner and felt that the old man was holding back. If Zhao Cheng's transfer didn't require the approval of the Municipal Bureau, Zhao Cheng would have wanted to go to Shijingshan. After all, it was really quiet there! There was nothing to do every day, and once you went there, you didn't have to worry about anyone wanting your position, and no one would plot against you. How great is that?

Just after lunch, the Municipal Bureau sent a notice that all police station chiefs and instructors had to go to the Municipal Bureau for a meeting. Zhao Cheng had no choice but to ride a three-wheeled tricycle and take Wang Tiejun to the Municipal Bureau.

When Zhao Cheng arrived at the Municipal Bureau, he wanted to find Duomen to have a chat, but unfortunately Duomen had already taken up a position at a lower level and was no longer in the Municipal Bureau.

Zhao Cheng had no choice but to go to the conference room and wait for the meeting. Zhao Cheng found a seat in a corner and sat down. Seeing that there were not many people in the entire conference room, he took a nap.

When Zhao Cheng woke up, the meeting had already begun. Zhao Cheng listened to the director's roar from below, especially the director of the Shijingshan Police Station, a middle-aged man in his thirties who had been directly transferred back to the branch to serve as an ordinary police officer by the director. It can be said that he had been demoted to the lowest position!

The two police officers who were present at the time were fired directly. Although the two young men did not appear in the meeting room today, Zhao Cheng felt that it would be difficult for them to find jobs in the future unless their families had connections.

The purpose of this meeting is to remind all the police station chiefs not to be careless and to never allow such large-scale fights to occur in the future, which makes all the chiefs nervous.

Zhao Cheng was drowsy while listening. The director's speech was still going on, but Zhao Cheng was in a trance and didn't know what he was thinking.

A meeting lasted for three hours, and leaders repeatedly emphasized the need to remember the lessons of this incident.

After the meeting, Zhao Cheng approached instructor Wang Tiejun and asked him if he wanted to return to the institute. Wang Tiejun's home wasn't far from the institute, just a few bus stops away, so he decided not to. Zhao Cheng had no choice but to return to the institute. He held a brief meeting with his colleagues, briefly explaining the entire incident and encouraging everyone to remember the lessons learned. Then he adjourned the meeting.

After getting off work, Zhao Cheng told Tian Dan about this incident. Tian Dan told Zhao Cheng a piece of news that surprised him: the organizer of this fight was this kid Li Yuanchao, and he had been planning it for several days.

"Is this kid so capable now?" Zhao Cheng couldn't believe his ears.

"This kid is very scheming. This incident has made his reputation reach the level of some old-timers in Peking. Now Li Yuanchao can be said to have the support of hundreds of children in the courtyards of Peking City!" Tian Dan said in a flat tone.
