The next morning, when Zhao Cheng got up, Pingping had already prepared the meal and was cleaning the house waiting for Zhao Cheng to eat.

"Brother Cheng, are you up? Come and eat quickly. You have to go to work!" Pingping came over, smiled sweetly at Zhao Cheng, and pulled Zhao Cheng up.

"Okay, I'll get up!" Zhao Cheng said happily.

"Go and have a look today and buy a bicycle! By the way, see if there is anything missing at home and buy it as soon as possible. Also buy some food. I think there is almost no more at home." Zhao Cheng said.

"Okay, Brother Cheng, is there anything else you want to tell me?" Pingping felt very warm when she heard what Zhao Cheng said. Although this man was forced to marry her, he was really good to her after they got married.

"If you buy a lot of food, remember to find a place to bring it back. Don't do it yourself, you'll get tired easily!" Zhao Cheng continued.

"understood!"

After finishing his meal, Zhao Cheng put on his police uniform. "I'm leaving!" Zhao Cheng shouted as he walked out.

Opening the door and breathing in the fresh air, Zhao Cheng felt that the sky in Peking was becoming increasingly gloomy. Looking at the dim sky, Zhao Cheng knew that sandstorms in Peking would become more frequent in the spring and the pollution would become more serious.

"Xiao Zhao, I heard that your Military Control Commission is going to cease operations? It will be changed into a street office?" Yan Fugui considered himself an intellectual and often read newspapers.

"Martial control will end sooner or later, and normal work will resume! By then, the city will have established a street office, and our police station will also be independent as a unit. Look, aren't they cleaning up the garbage on the streets? This is all in preparation for the future!" Zhao Cheng said, pointing to the garbage cleaning team on the street outside.

"Oh, it's better for the red side to enter the city! No one has ever cared about these things before. Now when I go out, there is less garbage on the streets, and the soldiers are gone. I heard that the army has been sent into Dongjiaomin Lane. This is really different." Yan Fugui shook his head.

Looking at Yan Fugui, Zhao Cheng also felt that this old man was quite interesting.

"Uncle Yan, you can take your time to reflect! I have to go to work!" Zhao Cheng said and walked out.

"Xiao Zhao, wait!" Just as Zhao Cheng was about to leave, he heard a shout from behind.

Zhao Cheng looked back and found that it was Yi Zhonghai and an unfamiliar old man.

"What? What's the matter?"

"Xiao Zhao, I see you haven't interacted much with the people in the compound since you arrived. That's not good! You don't even know many of the neighbors yet. The guy next to me is Master Jia, who just moved in not long ago. He's the master chef at our steel mill." Yi Zhonghai seemed to be introducing someone new to Zhao Cheng, but to Zhao Cheng, his words sounded so harsh. He wasn't even officially a boss yet, and he was already lecturing?

"Hello, Master Jia, I'm Zhao Cheng from the west wing of the front yard, and I work at the Jiaodaokou Police Station." Of course, Zhao Cheng couldn't be shy and greeted Old Jia happily.

Although Old Jia is a bit older, it must be said that he is also a handsome man when he is young. His appearance conforms to the aesthetics of this era. Unlike Zhao Cheng, his pretty boy appearance makes people easily look down on him.

"Haha, hello, Xiao Zhao! I just moved here not long ago, and we don't usually meet each other. Since we meet today, we are considered acquaintances!" Old Jia was still very polite in his words. It was a pity that he died a little early, otherwise he would not have tolerated Jia Zhang's throwing tantrums in the compound.

"We live in the same compound, and we can visit each other often when we have time. You guys go ahead and do your work. I'm going to be late for work, so I'll leave first! I'm sorry." Zhao Cheng said and left.

Yi Zhonghai and Lao Jia also said goodbye to Yan Fugui and walked out to the steel rolling mill.

"Old Yi, I see you are a bit rude to this Xiao Zhao. Did he provoke you?" Old Jia and Yi Zhonghai were walking side by side.

"I heard that this Xiao Zhao came from the Northeast and broke into the city of Peking alone. Before liberation, he had contacts with someone from the Bureau of Secrets. The house in our yard was bought through that person from the Bureau of Secrets. I didn't expect that after liberation, this guy was still a policeman! He doesn't usually interact with people in the yard. He seems like a thorn!" Yi Zhonghai said casually.

"Hey, if you don't want to have any contact with us, then don't have any contact with us. We are just ordinary people, why should we have any contact with these people who eat government food? You are just used to being flattered as a master chef, and you want to take advantage of it when things don't go your way. This is not a factory, you have to be careful." Lao Jia analyzed to Yi Zhonghai in a low voice.

"Hey, we've been together for so many years, and you still don't know me? I just look down on those who don't know how to unite!" Yi Zhonghai laughed.

"You, I can't win an argument with you! But you'd better find out more about this guy's background before you confront him. Don't let yourself get into trouble! Like the last time we went to the Bada Hutongs, I got beaten up by someone, and I still feel pain in my body!" Old Jia reminded Yi Zhonghai when he saw that there was no one around.

"Don't worry, I will definitely find out everything first. If they have a strong background, we will just stay away from them. Now that you have moved to this compound, it's a good opportunity for us to cooperate. If we catch these guys, how can we not get any benefits?" It was obvious that Yi Zhonghai had made a lot of plans with Lao Jia.

"Yes, I believe in your judgment. As long as we don't go too far, I don't think these guys would dare to do anything to us!" Lao Jia said with a laugh.

"By the way, Lao Yi, I heard that the place we went to last time is going to close down?" asked Lao Jia.

"Well, that old madam had no tact. I heard that a high-ranking official from the Red Party came to the city for inspection and passed by there. The old madam was scolding a few girls who had sneaked out and was shouting that no one in Beiping City dared to mess with her. People heard it, so the official asked her to release the girls who were forcibly bought. She refused and kept shouting. The official told her that this brothel must be closed down. Can you guess what the old madam said to the official?" Yi Zhonghai's eyes were full of the meaning of "ask me quickly, and I'll tell you if you ask me", which made Lao Jia shake his head.

"What did she say?" Lao Jia cooperated with Yi Zhonghai very well.

"She shouted in the street that even though the Red Army's troops have entered the city, they cannot do without them and will sooner or later become their backers. She also said that if they do their job, they will sooner or later drag the Red Army officials into the water! Don't you think this is courting death?" Yi Zhonghai also sighed.

If he really gets kicked out of those good places, how will he and Lao Jia enjoy themselves in the future? Will he have to go home and face that yellow-faced woman? Yi Zhonghai was secretly sad.

"I think we should not go to places like this in the future. Maybe one day they get arrested and we'll be implicated. I won't go there anymore!" Lao Jia understood clearly. Places like this would probably be closed down soon!

"Alas, it seems that I can only go home and face my old wife in the future, and I can never enjoy that happiness again!" Lao Jia and Yi Zhonghai are good friends, and their ideas are so synchronized.
