Zhao Cheng looked at Pingping's expectant eyes that seemed to indicate she would agree soon, and ruthlessly rejected Pingping's proposal!

"You are a girl, how can I move in with you? Besides, your small building will be confiscated sooner or later, and you can't live here for long. You'd better move out quickly!" Zhao Cheng told the truth in Pingping's expectant eyes.

"Why? The house belongs to the young lady! What right do they have to confiscate it?" Pingping didn't believe it.

"Sister, Liu Rusi is from the Secret Service! And her father is a two-faced saboteur! All their family belongings have been confiscated! Do you think you can still afford to live in that small building?" Zhao Cheng felt sick when he saw the innocent Pingping.

Pingping also reacted after hearing what Zhao Cheng said. Moreover, this house was originally taken away by Liu Rusi from a traitor, so she certainly knew what was going on.

"Then what should I do? I only have the little money that the lady gave me before she left, and it's not enough to buy a house! Besides, I have nowhere to go except that small building!" Pingping was almost crying.

"Where are your family members? If you can't find them, why don't you go find them? Why do you have to hang yourself in Liu Rusi's house?"

"My family has been the Shen family since my grandfather's generation. Moreover, my parents are dead. They were killed by the Japanese bombs when fighting the Japanese. That's why the master let me stay with the young lady!" Pingping said crying.

When Zhao Cheng saw Pingping's expression, he couldn't help but reach out to wipe Pingping's tears.

"Then find someone to sell the house! Sell it to those rich people who didn't escape! The fact that they didn't escape proves that they have connections with the Red Side, or some powerful people. Use the money from selling the small building to buy a small house, and with the remaining money, you can quickly find a job! By the way, what else can you do besides shooting?" Zhao Cheng asked.

"I can cook, serve people, and drive, but that's all!" Pingping said.

Zhao Cheng felt that this girl was something special, mainly because she was someone who dared to shoot and kill people!

"Can you sell the house yourself? After selling the house, you can buy a small courtyard by yourself, which should be no problem. There will be a lot of money left. Come and find me when you settle down. I live in Xu Ji Car Shop in Zhushikou!" said Zhao Cheng.

"Okay, but you really won't help me? Can I do it myself?" Pingping was a little expectant.

"I can't. I have something to do right now! Besides, my current identity is not convenient! After you sell the house, you'd better ask around to see where there are job seekers. You can find a factory or a restaurant. You can cook, so it's no problem for you to be a kitchen helper or a butcher. This will be good for you in the future!" This is all Zhao Cheng could say to Pingping.

Pingping saw Zhao Cheng's serious expression and knew that Zhao Cheng was telling the truth and was not joking, so she had to walk away, looking back every step of the way.

Zhao Cheng stood there and waited until Pingping disappeared before leaving.

In the next few days, Zhao Cheng would go to check on the progress of the house renovation when he had nothing to do, or follow Xu Tian on patrol, and also attended a wedding in the meantime.

Yan San and Oo Yingzi finally got married. Since Yan San was the only one in his family, Yan San and Oo Yingzi had to move back to the old house to live with his mother, leaving Jin Hai alone.

However, no one worried that Jin Hai would have a bad life. After all, Dao Meilan's family lived next door, and the two of them were similar, the only thing missing was a breakup.

Jin Hai has now stepped down as the warden and has become a prison boss like Huazi, because the new warden of the Red Party has taken office.

Although the Red Army hadn't entered the city on a large scale, some party and government agencies had already begun to be slowly taken over. So now Zhao Cheng and Yan San had resumed their patrols.

On February 3, 1949, the city of Peking was a sea of ​​red, because today was the day when the Red Army held its entry ceremony.

The entry ceremony began at 10:00 AM. The troops entered the city through Xizhimen and Yongdingmen, converging at the Zhengyangmen Arrow Tower for a review. This entry was particularly significant as the Red Army officially entered the Legation Quarter in Dongjiaomin Lane, taking over its defense. This was the first time since 1900 that Chinese troops had officially entered the Legation Quarter, a significant boost to the morale of the Chinese military and civilians.

Because Zhao Cheng is a policeman, today he, Xu Tian, ​​Yan San and others are on duty near Zhushikou to maintain order.

As the team entering the city arrived, the people of Zhushikou welcomed the team enthusiastically, watching the armored vehicles, motorcycles, artillery, cavalry, and infantry in the team passing by one after another.

People danced with joy, and some even broke through the human wall and walked into the team to hug the soldiers and celebrate the peaceful liberation of Peiping together.

People held banners, raised portraits of the teacher and the commander-in-chief, shouted slogans and followed the entry team towards Zhengyang Gate.

"Zhao Cheng, you said that the discipline of the red team is really good. Those people who entered the city before never took bribes like the Nanjing team did. In comparison, the people really support these people!" Yan San sighed.

"Look, after all, these are the people's army! How can it be the same? From now on, our lives will get better and better!" Zhao Cheng looked at the endless stream of people in front of him. Everyone's face was filled with sincere smiles.

This is something that people in later generations don't have on their faces. After all, they have lost their spirit due to the 996 schedule. Except for the military parade, when you can see a little smile on their faces, they are usually too tired.

"These young ladies are out too!" Xu Tian looked at the female students wearing new clothes on both sides of the team. They were dancing and singing Yangge, which made Xu Tian a little overwhelmed.

"Brother Tian'er, has Tian Dan contacted you during this period?" Zhao Cheng asked.

"She wrote a letter saying that she was heading south with the troops. I don't know where exactly she went. She told me that the situation of the three of us had been reported to our superiors, and told us to do our work well and just focus on being people's policemen in the future, without worrying about anything else!" Xu Tian thought for a while and said.

Zhao Cheng felt relieved. He finally met some friends and hoped that they could get together more often.

The entry ceremony lasted until 4 p.m., after which Zhao Cheng and his colleagues returned to the police station to continue their training, understanding the Red Army's policies and learning how to be public security officers. After their assessments were completed, they would be reassigned to new positions at the police station.

Zhao Cheng had also recently learned about the Red Army's current policies and realized he could be classified as an urban proletarian. While not as well off as the poor peasants, it was still pretty good. He wouldn't be affected too much.

Since Xu Tian had listened to Zhao Cheng before and gave the family's carriage business to the former drivers, he thought there would be no problem.

Just when Zhao Cheng was studying hard, an old acquaintance of Zhao Cheng walked into the Peking City Police Headquarters.
