Siheyuan: Superintendent at the beginning, wife Reba!

Dalong saw Zhang Chengfei was about to pack his things,

Immediately volunteered to help.

Zhang Chengfei gave in a few words and saw that he insisted on doing it, so he let him go.

Busy and busy,

The whole morning passed like this.

When it's not hard time, Corey is not very busy.

Zhang Chengfei spotted the two policemen who were out sweeping the streets.

Everyone else was sitting in the office, making jokes.

When it's lunch time,

Everyone got up and started getting ready to go out for dinner.

Zhang Chengfei was still familiarizing himself with some information and left ten minutes later than everyone else.

When he walked to the door of the police station,

I saw Dalong here, as if he was waiting for someone.

Seeing Zhang Chengfei coming over, Dalong trotted over and got in front of him.

"Deputy section chief, will you go home for lunch?"

Zhang Chengfei shook his head, "My grandma is old. I don't want her to be in trouble, so I'd better go out and have a bite."

"Hey, this is a good relationship!" Dalong clapped his hands happily, and then touched his nose as if he suddenly realized that his behavior was a bit strange.

"Well, I have a good place to eat. The food is clean and the price is cheaper than state-owned restaurants. How about I take you to try it?"

Where can I go to eat instead of eating?

Zhang Chengfei nodded, "It's not far. Do you want to ride a bicycle there?"

Dalong waved his hand, "It's not far, just a few steps."

"Okay, let's start."

Under the leadership of Dalong,

Zhang Chengfei went around two alleys and arrived at Mianmian Hutong.

Zhang Chengfei always came to this alley a few years ago.

But after much thought, he couldn't remember any restaurants in this alley.

The two of them walked to a courtyard house.

Dalong greeted the two residents who passed by.

Then he opened the door of the inverted room,

Once in,

Zhang Chengfei saw that in a house of about 30 square meters,

There are five or six tables arranged,

Basically, at every table, people wearing police uniforms were sitting and eating.

It is clear,

This is a small private restaurant.

Maybe it was still operating without a license, because as early as 1966, there were almost no private small businesses.

But the next moment,

When I saw a lame and skinny aunt walking over wearing an apron,

He knew he was wrong.

The aunt walked up to Dalong and Zhang Chengfei,

"Dalong, why are you back just now?"

Dalong smiled at her and said, "Mom, we are delayed by something at work. Let me introduce to you. This is our deputy section chief. He is also coming to our store for dinner today."

"Ah, deputy section chief, Dalong will be under your care from now on." The aunt smiled shyly at Zhang Chengfei.

Zhang Chengfei quickly smiled back, "Auntie, you're welcome. I'm new here. I usually have to ask Dalong for help."

"Mom, I'll find a place for Section Chief Zhang to sit, and you can get a meal for him," Dalong said.

Dalong's mother rubbed her hands, "Okay, Section Chief Zhang, you and Dalong sit down first, and I'll get you some food. Today I'm making braised noodles, and the braised noodles are cabbage, tofu and vermicelli..."

"Oh, by the way, do you like spicy food? I fried it myself. It's so delicious."

Zhang Chengfei smiled at her again, "Auntie who can eat spicy food, I'll trouble you."

"This child, why are you being polite to me?" Dalong's mother said as she turned away.

The two sat down,

Dalong then introduced Zhang Chengfei in a low voice.

He is from Northern China. He grew up without a father.

His mother has polio, plus he is weak,

His mother stretched him so hard that his old nose was no longer strong.

I also owe a lot of money to relatives.

Later, after he graduated from public school, he was assigned to Nanluoguxiang.

So he took his mother over.

The original intention is of course to make his mother suffer all the hardships and enjoy happiness.

Who knew that the old lady always said that her family’s financial resources were poor and Dalong’s salary was low?

Always looking for ways to make money.

The old lady's original words were, "Dalong, you are working now. We must pay back the money we owe our relatives as soon as possible. Life is not easy for everyone..."

"In order to make money to pay off debts, she did everything from collecting coal cores to gluing matchboxes to skewering candied haws. I really had no other choice, so I opened this small restaurant for her..."

His mother is disabled, so it's not against the rules to open a restaurant.

In addition, the police team took care of him and helped him find a good face in this courtyard house.

The rent is only two yuan a month.

Normally, his mother would cook home-cooked meals for people in the police force who couldn't go home easily.

It's only a dime per meal, and you can add rice until you're full.

Excluding rent, expenses and other expenses, you can earn seventeen or eighty yuan a month.

Although not a lot,

But you still make more money than gluing matchboxes.

Zhang Chengfei immediately said after hearing this,

"This is a good thing. You should have told me directly on the way."

Gang Dalong didn't say it clearly,

He thought the two of them were really going to a state-owned restaurant to eat.

Dalong smiled sheepishly, but did not explain.

---What should he say?

This small restaurant of my own can only be run thanks to the charity of my colleagues.

I waited for Zhang Chengfei at the door for a long time today.

It’s also to attract one more charity person to my hotel.

I want to earn more money every month.

In this case,

How to say it? ?

If you tell him, will the new section chief feel that he is scheming?

In other words, will you look down on yourself who is at the bottom and has no background?

so,

He could only choose to be silent.

Zhang Chengfei took a deep look at Dalong's eyes and said,

I understand.

In fact, he didn't think it was anything.

Dalong Ma uses her labor in exchange for remuneration, and the food she sells is not expensive.

This is a mutually beneficial thing and there is nothing to be embarrassed or ashamed about.

After all.

It was Dalong who complicated the problem.

But these words,

Obviously it's not appropriate to talk to someone you've just known for a long time.

So he only handed over a cigarette and said, "Smoke one?"

Dalong shook his head, "I don't smoke."

-The cheapest cigarettes cost eight cents a pack. He had to find a way to make money to pay off his debts.

Zhang Chengfei smoked a cigarette and Dalong played with chopsticks.

The two chatted casually.

quickly,

Two large bowls of braised noodles were served.

The noodles are made by hand, one finger wide and four fingers long, and the thickness is even.

The stew is cabbage, vermicelli, tofu, and soaked dried yellow flowers.

Because the noodles are thickened, the soup is sticky and sticky, making it look very appetizing.

Dalong Ma placed the bowl covered with oily chili peppers in front of Zhang Chengfei, "Section Chief, try my craftsmanship."

"Auntie, you're welcome, just call me Dachengzi." Zhang Chengfei said with a smile.

Da Long Ma smiled at him,

He put another bowl without chili in front of Dalong.

"Why didn't you put some chili pepper for me?" Dalong muttered.

But his mother’s face darkened, “Did you forget that you ate chili pepper yesterday and your stomach hurt all night long? Remember eating but not the pain!!”

Then he looked at Zhang Chengfei,

"Section Chief, look at this child. He has had bad gastrointestinal problems since he was a child, and he still likes to eat heavy food!!"
