Chapter 13 Father's Shadow
The captain died, and the excuse of Mao was on Li Zhang. This was the first time he did such a thing, so he was naturally quite excited, and even his voice was much louder than usual!
"We are patrolmen, so we must ensure safety and not let the people poke our backbone and call us a good meal..."
"So, everyone must be loyal to their duties and maintain the public security of this neighborhood!"
After Li Zhang finished his euphoric speech, there was naturally a burst of applause from the audience. He waved his hand proudly and said, "Okay, everyone should start patrolling the streets. Those who stand at the door should go quickly. Don't let the adults in the door scold us patrol police for not doing anything!"
The patrolmen immediately dispersed in groups of three or three. Li Zhang originally planned to go back to the office to rest for a while. When Zhang Jincai saw that there was no one around him, he quickly walked up and then clumsily delivered the box of cigarettes he had just bought.
"Captain!" Zhang Jincai smiled humbly.
"Oh, make money!"
Li Zhang is six years younger than Zhang Jincai, but he still acts like an elder.
"What's up?"
After taking Zhang Jincai's cigarette, he found it was a relatively cheap flower beauty card. Li Zhang immediately showed some unhappiness, but based on the principle that mosquito legs are still fleshy, he still put the cigarette in his pocket.
"Captain, didn't I apply to go to the station gate a few days ago? You see when will it be approved!" Zhang Jincai said flatteringly.
"Oh, that's the matter, I'll study it first!"
After saying that, Li Zhang went back to the room and closed the door.
Zhang Jincai was left in place, and opened his mouth a little embarrassedly, but he didn't know what to say.
Lin Hongfei came over, patted his master on the shoulder, put his right hand on Zhang Jincai's back, and the two of them left the patrol pavilion.
"Oh, it seems that there is no chance for me to stay at the door. I bought the pack of cigarettes in vain!" Zhang Jincai said disappointedly.
"Master, why do you have to go to the garrison gate? I heard that the gang of masters and wives in the garrison gate are difficult to serve. They treat our patrol police as guard dogs." Lin Hongfei handed Zhang Jincai a cigarette and asked.
Zhang Jincai took a puff of cigarettes. Now he relied on cigarettes to make himself feel a little more comfortable. He sighed:
"The family has a large population, your master's wife is in poor health, and your three younger brothers and sisters are also at the time of growing up."
"If I stand at the door, I don't have to pay two yuan of food to the patrol pavilion every month."
"At that time, I will bring some cakes from home, so that I can fill my stomach with pickles, so that I can save 1 and a half yuan more ocean in one month."
"Also, we patrol the streets all day long, and we have to replace these leather shoes with a new one in less than half a year. This takes up the door of the house, and we can save money on three dollars a pair of leather shoes."
"I can save about 20 yuan more this year!"
The patrolmen earned dead wages, and Zhang Jincai was an honest man, and he couldn't do the kind of thing he asked for protection fees from vendors.
Therefore, he could only save money by saving and trying his best to save money.
Looking at Zhang Jincai's sad face, Lin Hongfei vaguely saw the appearance of his father in his previous life.
At the beginning, in order to save more money, my father brought a few steamed buns to work every day. When it was lunch time, he would simply deal with boiled water, a bag of pickled vegetables, and a few cold buns.
Just like this, my father gave Lin Hongfei to graduate from college and helped him pay the down payment of his mortgage.
When Lin Hongfei successfully started his business, had a small fortune and was about to take his father to enjoy life, his father suffered from gastric cancer and his entire stomach was cut off, but he could not control the cancer cells.
When he died, his father, a northern man of 1.85 meters, was only 70 kilograms thin.
Lin Hongfei's eyes were a little red. He sniffed, took a strong breath of cigarette, and then let out a long cloud of smoke.
This is also the reason why Lin Hongfei felt very close to Zhang Jincai after seeing Zhang Jincai, because Lin Hongfei saw the shadow of his father from Zhang Jincai.
"Oh, no, I'll buy Li Zhang a bag of cigarettes and some snack boxes." Zhang Jincai still didn't give up, after all, this was the only way he could think of.
Lin Hongfei shook his head and advised, "Forget it, Master, a few packs of cigarettes and a few boxes of snacks, Li Zhang doesn't like it. This old guy only accepts money!"
"I heard that Sun Ernau in our team gave Li Zhang 20 yuan in order to be able to stand in the house!"
"20 yuan..."
Zhang Jincai showed a trace of despair. Not to mention 20 yuan, he didn't even have 2 yuan on hand.
At this time, Lin Hongfei patted his shoulder: "Master, don't worry, there will be a solution!"
"Oh, let's take a look at each step." Zhang Jincai sighed heavily.
The two stood up and began to walk along the street with great worries. Zhang Jincai was thinking about how to stand at the door of the house.
Lin Hongfei was thinking about how to get a position in the police station, so that with an official identity, it would be much more convenient to do things in the future.
After all, it is easier to use when compared with money!
“Gu…”
Just as Lin Hongfei was thinking, he heard a sound coming from Zhang Jincai's belly.
"Master, didn't you have breakfast?" Lin Hongfei asked with a smile.
Zhang Jincai smiled embarrassedly: "There are more children, so you can save a little bit!"
"Come on, I didn't eat either. We are both together, I'll treat you!"
As he said that, Lin Hongfei dragged Zhang Jincai to the stall of fried dough sticks, and then shouted to the boss:
"Boss, give us more pickles!"
"Two bowls of tofu brains are salty. I dare to add sugar to your stall!"
When the boss saw that it was two patrol officers, he quickly laughed and said, "Look at what the police officer said, there is no tofu brain-added sugar."
"Wait a minute, I'll give it to you right away!"
Zhang Jincai advised from the side: "Hongfei, don't buy so much, I'll eat one."
"Nothing is enough for one piece? If you want to eat it today, you can eat it with great pleasure. If you even have to calculate the fried dough sticks, then what's the point of living in this life!" Lin Hongfei said.
"You are still young. You haven't gotten married yet. I don't know if you have to save money!" Zhang Jincai sighed.
"Don't worry, Master, a meal of fried dough sticks and tofu brain won't make me poor yet. Just let go of your stomach and eat it!" Lin Hongfei said with a smile.
This is the truth. The ocean that came from Liu Wu's pit was enough for Lin Hongfei to spend a few months comfortably.
Soon, the fried dough sticks and tofu were all over the head, and the fried dough sticks that were just out of the pan were crispy on the straight board, and some oil flowers remained on the golden crisp skin.
Pick it up with chopsticks, open your mouth and take off a large bite. The crispy, oily skin and soft inner layer show an excellent texture when chewing.
The spoon was put into the bowl, stirring the tender tofu and the sauce-colored soup together, picking up a spoon and putting it into your mouth. The salty soup was smooth and the dough sticks were swallowed, and a sense of happiness for breakfast arises naturally.
"Boss, why did you put such a little coriander? How much did you buy it? You are so stingy!" Lin Hongfei said with some dissatisfaction at the few coriander leaves in the bowl.
"Wait a minute, I'll give you more!"
The boss came over with a porcelain bowl and added some crumbs of coriander to Lin Hongfei.
Just as Lin Hongfei was eating happily, a noise came from not far away.
"You are suitable for living and don't deceive others too much. We are not easy to mess with by blessings and virtues!"
"Come on, you Fujude can't even afford the sorrow straw of roast duck. You all use peanut shells and leaves, so why are you so big?!"
When I turned around, I saw two young men who looked like guys quarreled and tear each other together.
"It's arguing again, it's the third time this month!"
The boss of the fried dough stick stall said to himself.
Next to him, several diners said, "The two shops opposite the door are all selling roast ducks. If you don't have a fight, you will be in trouble."
"But I heard that the roast duck in Fujude has really tasted badly recently, and the business is getting worse day by day."
"It seems that this is more suitable and livable!"
Lin Hongfei is too lazy to deal with the two shop guys as long as they don’t cause any death.
After all, it costs six yuan a month, how can you do your life!
It’s better to have less than more things!
After a full meal, Lin Hongfei got up and asked to pay. The boss quickly stopped him and said, "Two police officers, don't pay, I'll treat this to you!"
Although Lin Hongfei is a patrolman, for those who go out early and come back late and set up stalls in the open air, it is enough to make them lose their business and lose their jobs.
Therefore, although the patrolman's salary is small, there are still people who are willing to do it because they can blackmail these small vendors and earn some black money.
Lin Hongfei ignored the boss's obstruction and threw out a row of copper coins and said, "Forget it, if I don't pay, when we leave, you will still curse us two of us with bad hearts and no assholes to give birth!"
