Siheyuan: Superintendent at the beginning, wife Reba!

After scolding Chen Jianghe, Luo Yuzhu looked at Zhang Chengfei cautiously. I was afraid that he would have some bad associations because of Chen Jianghe's words.

She was relieved when she saw Zhang Chengfei drinking wine with his usual expression.

The three of them finished their meal and said goodbye. In the following days, Zhang Chengfei reported to the steel rolling mill and became the nominal deputy director of the security department. Under the arrangement of Director Wang, he went to the Qianmen Subdistrict Office and took up a casual position.

I usually work on solving trivial cases, drink tea and read newspapers. It's even easier when I get home. Apart from eating, it's just daily life.

The house in the backyard has been completed and the old lady has moved back, which makes it easier for Zhang Chengfei and Reba to communicate with each other.

After getting tired of playing the game of the big eagle catching the little white rabbit, the two began to unlock new scenes. Kitchen, living room, bathroom, office during the night shift...

In short, the days passed like water.

After Chen Jianghe and Luo Yuzhu returned to Ywu, they began to engage in black market business. The two of them were very smart. Instead of setting up stalls in the ghost market like Fatty and the others, they started wholesale.

They specialize in supplying goods to regular customers, so although the gross profit is lower, the shipment is faster, the delivery cycle is shorter, and it is safer.

In mid-April, Zhang Chengfei received a purchase telegram from Chen Jianghe, and not long after, he received a remittance order.

On April 1966, [-], People's Daily published the "Editorial About WG", firing the first shot before the wind started.

On May [-]rd, the first batch of Hongqi cars left the factory, and the next day, the wind started blowing! !

Sijiucheng, as the center of the vortex, immediately became turbulent.

From Zhang Chengfei's point of view, almost overnight, the aunts and girls in the courtyard cut their hair short. The clothes that had been plain before became even plainer, with no other colors visible except green and dark blue.

Jia Zhang, the most ruthless person in the courtyard, no matter how fiercely he quarreled with others and pointed his nose at his mother, he would not dare to call their old Jia to come out for help.

Everyone was busy, but the policemen at Nanluoguxiang Police Station were idle.

If you are idle, your wife will naturally not be idle either. After Zhang Chengfei struggled with his life for several days, Reba finally couldn't stand it anymore and forcibly ordered him not to go home directly after work every day, but to stay outside until nine o'clock in the evening.

With nowhere to go, Zhang Chengfei went to the Qianmen Bistro every day after get off work to drink some wine and eat rice noodles.

After coming here a few times, I quickly became close to regular customers Pian'er Ye and Niu Ye.

After work that day, he ordered wine and food and sat down. As soon as Xu Huizhen put the rice noodles, shredded pickles, fennel beans, and a pound of Niulanshan Erguotou, Mr. Pian'er arrived.

"Master Pian'er, this way." Zhang Chengfei greeted him, "I've ordered everything."

Master Pian'er has taken advantage of Zhang Chengfei a lot these days. When he saw him greeting him, he sat down without saying a word, "Hey, didn't you agree that I will treat you next time? Chief Zhang, why did you spend so much money again? What the hell? I’m so embarrassed.”

"Hi. In our relationship, who invites you is different? Why are you talking about that?" Zhang Chengfei said, filling a glass of wine for Mr. Pian'er, "Drink!!"

Mr. Pian'er was a drunkard, and when he saw that he was dead from drinking, he immediately drank the wine with a slurp.

Zhang Chengfei filled another glass for him, and the two of them drank while talking. After a while, a pound of liquor bottomed out.

"Xu Huizhen, another half a catty of cattle!" Zhang Chengfei shouted.

At the counter, Zhao Yali, who gave birth to eight sons, responded. Pick up a wine pot, use the bamboo wine ladle to scoop out a spoonful slowly from the big wine vat, lift it high, from top to bottom, the wine will form a line, and slowly pour it into the wine pot.

With a twist of her face, she put the drink on the counter and wanted to ask Zhang Chengfei to help himself.

Seeing this, Xu Huizhen quickly picked up the wine and said, "Sister Zhao, please remember that from now on, when Zhang Chengfei comes over to drink, he will give it to him."

Zhao Yali said with a straight face, "No, why?"

--She was a saleswoman in a department store and then worked as an accountant in a bistro. She couldn't stand Xu Huizhen's way of fawning over her customers.

Besides, if you give me a gift, I will give it to you, and if you don’t, you will not give it to me. How can you treat them differently?

Merchants are just merchants, and they are not allowed to go to the elegant hall! !

Xu Huizhen felt her gaze, but could only sigh, "Zhang Chengfei is different from others. He is a new cadre in our street..."

Zhao Yali was not thinking very well. When she heard that Zhang Chengfei was a cadre, she immediately curled her lips and said, "Then Fan Jinyou is still a cadre. Why don't you please him?!?"

Not only did they not please each other, they also started to fight each other as soon as they met.

Xu Huizhen sneered, "Fan Jinyou is nothing like a street cadre. He is just a temporary worker now. If something happens, he will be the first to take the blame!!! Zhang Chengfei is different. People can tell what happens in the street." Something to talk about."

--Now that the news is so tight, she, a merchant, always feels that her life is uneasy. It happened that the aunt director of the neighborhood committee was retiring, and she was now working hard to replace him.

So when facing serious street cadres, of course, they try their best to please them.

The two people here were muttering, and Master Pian'er on the other side saw that the wine hadn't been served for a long time, and he suddenly became anxious, "Where is the wine? Why haven't you come yet?"

"Here you go!" Xu Huizhen quickly came over with the wine, looked at Zhang Chengfei, her upper lip moved and her lower lip remained still, showing a very unique smile, "Chief Zhang, you have been coming here to support me recently, you really make our tavern popular. It’s so radiant!!!”

Zhang Chengfei took the wine and smiled lightly, "Isn't this your pickle?"

"If you enjoy the meal, I will give you a small jar when you leave later." Xu Huizhen said in a panic.

Zhang Chengfei waved his hand, "There's no need to give it as a gift. I'll buy it as much as you want. Then, Manager Xu, please go to work first. I'll call you when something happens."

He had business to do with Mr. Pian'er today, so he couldn't interrupt Xu Huizhen.

After sending Xu Huizhen away, Zhang Chengfei and Pian'erye started eating and drinking again. After the two of them had eaten and drank enough, Zhang Chengfei suggested that the next scene should be played and that Mr. Pian'er be invited to take a bath.

You're inviting me to drink and take a shower. If you were to treat me like this to someone else, you'd definitely think twice about it. But Mr. Pian'er was a fool, and he was drunk at this time. Hearing what Zhang Chengfei said, he immediately got up, mixed the garlic at his feet and walked out.

The two of them left the tavern and went straight to Wangfujing.

Forty-nine cities gather friends to make tea and take a bath. This has been going on since ancient times. After leaving the teahouse, you enter the bathhouse. This is also called "two bubbles!"

They go to the bathhouse not only to take a bath, but also for entertainment and spiritual enjoyment. In the early years, the bathhouses in Sijiucheng were divided into "official hall", "pontang" and "sanzai" from high to low.

"Guantang" is the best. People who come here are either officials or big businessmen. The facilities, sanitation and environment here are the best. After taking a bath, take a nap, get a massage, play mahjong, not to mention how beautiful it is.

"Buntang" is inferior to "Guantang". It is considered a mid-range bathhouse, with single rooms and separate bathtubs, but relatively few entertainment items.

The bathing facilities here are much the same as the first one, except that there are no entertainment facilities.

The worst "scattered seats" are less particular than the first two. The people here are all ordinary people. It is usually just a big pond with no environment at all. Some shops can only add a back rub master, but their skills are average.

Pian'erye thought it would be good if Zhang Chengfei could take him to "Puntang", but who knew that the other party took him directly to Qinghua Pond.

This is the best "official hall" in Sijiu City, and it shocked Mr. Pian'er directly. It's not that he has never seen a good place to show off his timidity, on the contrary, their ancestors were in banners and had high officials. The courtyard with the golden pillar gate where he lives now is his ancestral property.

Master Pian'er has lived a life of eating, drinking and having fun since he was a child. There are no good places in Sijiu City that he has not been to. But just because of this, he was even more afraid to go in at this moment.

Zhang Chengfei saw that he was standing in front of Qinghua Pond and was not going in, so he asked doubtfully, "Master Pian'er, why don't you go?"

Mr. Pian'er stood in front of the luxurious gate of Qinghua Pool, sweating all over and sobering up a little.

He looked at Zhang Chengfei with complicated eyes, "Chief Zhang, there are some things that you don't want to tell me. I can't move my legs."

When Zhang Chengfei heard what he said, he immediately laughed and said, "What should I say to you, Mr. Pian'er? You are so cautious!! Can I still eat you? If you have any questions, let's go in and talk."

Mr. Pian'er laughed along with him, not moving his feet, "You said it clearly."

Yes, it seems that Qiu Guangpu won't go in unless he makes it clear.

Zhang Chengfei then pulled Mr. Pian'er aside, the two of them nestled on the curb, and then handed him a cigarette.

"Master Pian'er, I heard that you are going to sell your courtyard with the golden pillar gate?"

Master Pian'er had just taken the cigarette, and when he heard his words, he was so frightened that he immediately put the cigarette back into Zhang Chengfei's hand, "I don't have it, it's not me, don't talk nonsense."

In this era, even private houses were not allowed to be bought or sold. Who in the tavern doesn’t know that Zhang Chengfei is a policeman? While Pian'er Ye denied Sanlian, he was muttering in his mind that some turtle bastard wanted to put him in jail! !

Zhang Chengfei knew that he had misunderstood and patted him on the shoulder, "Master Pian'er, don't be nervous. I'm not asking you this matter from the perspective of a policeman..."

"Not the police? What is that?" Mr. Pian'er looked confused.

Zhang Chengfei put the cigarette into his hand again and lit it for him. While smoking, he expressed his thoughts about buying a house.

When Mr. Pian'er heard that he was going to buy a house, his tense body completely relaxed, "If you want to buy a house, it's a little late. My house is now owned by Chen Xueru from the silk shop and Xu Huizhen from the tavern. They both want to buy it." "

Zhang Chengfei blew out a smoke ring and looked at him, "They both want to buy it, right, but they haven't paid a deposit? Besides, you haven't decided who you want to sell to, right?"

Mr. Pian'er was a little hesitant, "Then how much can you pay?"

"If you can sell it to me now, I'll pay you [-] yuan including the furniture." Zhang Chengfei said directly without any nonsense.

He had watched the TV series and knew that Xu Huizhen offered [-] yuan.

Fifty-two thousand was actually more than what Chen Xueru and Xu Huizhen paid, but Pian'erye rolled his eyes and wanted to stretch his fingers again.

There are three people who want this house now. If he lets out the news that Zhang Chengfei paid [-] yuan, Chen Xueru and Xu Huizhen might even see their prices rise even further.

With this in mind, he said, "Chief Zhang, can you let me think about it?"

Think about it? Zhang Chengfei's lips curved into a wicked smile. It seems that this son didn’t understand what he just said! ! ! He actually wants to use himself to make more money.

But it doesn't matter, if he wants to ask Xu Huizhen and Chen Xueru, let him do it. He didn't believe that the two women who were now eager to break their heads for the position of director of the neighborhood committee would offend him, a street cadre, for a courtyard house! !

After the two talked, they finished smoking. So they each stood up. Master Pian'er looked at Qinghua Pond helplessly and sighed. He hasn't been to this place for years! !

Zhang Chengfei glanced at him and said, "We've talked about the matter and finished smoking. Let's go to Tsinghua Lake?"

"Ah? Chief Zhang, do you still want me to take a bath?" Mr. Pian'er's eyes were complicated.

--He thought that since the house matter was not settled, the bathing matter would also have to come to nothing.

Zhang Chengfei laughed, "Hey, one code equals one code, a transaction is a transaction, and friendship is friendship. I told you to take a shower, so I must do so!!!"

Master Pian'er was immediately overjoyed, and took Zhang Chengfei to Qinghua Pond with the steps of disowning his relatives.

While walking, I also explained the history of Tsinghua Pool. According to him, this place is a real time-honored restaurant, one of the first in Sijiu City.

"Towels, soap, bath towels, tea, and green radishes are all included in the ticket for free. After taking a bath, you can lie on the bed and massage your back while drinking hot tea and eating radishes. It's so relaxing!!"

"When my grandfather was alive, he always brought me here and stayed all day long. His old man always said something like, 'Eating carrots, drinking tea, and making the doctor crawl all over the floor.'"

The two of them talked and entered the house. Zhang Chengfei asked for bath tickets for two people, and they took a bath, which cost a total of RMB [-].

I handed over the money and came back with four small bamboo pieces, two with "bath" engraved on them and two with "rubbing" engraved on them.

There is a wall behind the curved-foot counter, and there are various small bamboo pieces with the words "press", "foot", "can" and "scrape" hanging on them. Each one represents a kind of item.

The two of them entered the bathroom, found a free bed, took off their clothes first, entered the large bathing room and took a shower first to wash away all the dust on their bodies before entering the large pool.

There are those who just go into the pool and soak without flushing. That’s called being careless.

In this era, there are three major taboos about taking a bath in a big pool. The first taboo is not taking a shower, the second taboo is rubbing ashes in the big pool, and the third taboo is peeing in it.

Soak your whole body in the pool, and then ask the bath master to rub your whole body all over again until your whole body is soaked.

When I returned to the bathroom again, the bath master brought me two bowls of tea and two radishes. These used to be free, but now they are charged. They are not expensive, only costing five cents in total.

Zhang Chengfei and Pian'erye were eating radishes and drinking tea inside, listening to fans wearing bath towels singing "Take the Tiger Mountain by Wisdom". I stayed in Tsinghua Pond until nine o'clock.

Zhang Chengfei looked at his watch, then at Pian'erye who was showing great interest, and said,

"It's done, Mr. Pian'er, I have to go back. I have business at home. You can continue playing here by yourself."

"It's midnight, what do you have to do?" Mr. Pian'er asked in confusion.
