The old lady is reborn

On the day when Rong Huaian brought a few good friends and Princess Anyang brought a few noble ladies to the parade ground to ride horses, Song Ying was inexplicably worried at home until Huaian came back.

Song Ying asked, "How are you getting along with the princess?"

Huai'an said: "That's great. Princess Anyang knew that I was going to the police station and she was very envious. She also wanted to find something interesting to do.

The next holiday, we have an appointment to play polo."

Song Ying said: "You can't."

Huai'an said: "They also have people who don't know how to do it. We have discussed it and those who know how to do it will lead those who don't know how to do it. Both sides will share the points. If they are evenly matched, we can compete."

At last, Huai'an looked at Song Ying and said, "Don't worry, mother.

The son knew his mother's feelings and he liked it, but the princess had a knot in her heart.

Mother, if we can be together, we will all be happy and our son will cherish us. If we cannot be together, I think our son can at least learn to play polo and wood shooting (fifteen-pin ball)...

Don't worry, mother, everything will be fine."

Rong Huaian accepted the job of Jingzhao Yin's police station and was on duty one day every three days. On the first day of duty, he went to meet his colleagues in Jingzhao Yin and get to know them.

Rong Huaian felt like he had entered another world when he went there. Whether it was the work in the Jingzhao Yin Police Station, the autopsy work in the coroner's office, or the confession interrogation room, Huaian found it all interesting.

I want to stay in every place.

The head of the police station had him arrested and held in the police station. He said to Huai'an, "You are the person our police station requested from above. Stay in our police station."

Rong Huaian stayed steadily in the police station.

There are experienced constables in their forties, as well as new constables in their twenties.

While here, Rong Huaian became good friends with Dou Fengnian, a constable in his thirties who was the same age as him.

Dou Fengnian had been a police chief for a long time and did not have much time to take care of his family. His wife refused to live with him, so he had no choice but to sign a divorce agreement. His son lived with him.

Dou Fengnian and his son have been dependent on each other for five years. Now his son has grown up and works as an apprentice in a blacksmith shop.

Once, colleagues met up to go drinking. The wine was good, and the widowed proprietress of the pub was also quick-tempered and forthright. Dou Fengnian felt that she was a good match for the pub, and from then on, he started going there often.

If there was anything going on between the two of them, it didn't seem to have reached that stage. But if there was nothing going on, since when did Dou Fengnian not have to pay for the wine and side dishes when he went out to drink?

It wasn't even Dou Fengnian's order. When he went there, he drank whatever wine the proprietress served him, and ate whatever dishes the proprietress served him.

The boss's wife also had a son, who was younger and still studying at the academy. Dou Fengnian would do any manual labor required of the boss's wife.

Dou Fengnian and his son's clothes, shoes and socks were torn and needed to be mended, and it was the boss's wife who took care of it.

The son of the boss's wife lost his father when he was young. He was so happy to have a father-like person like Dou Fengnian that he would jump around him and stick to him every time he saw Dou Fengnian.

Dou Fengnian would sometimes pick up the child and hold him high, and both of them would laugh heartily.

But Dou Fengnian's son Dou Yang thought the smile was particularly eye-catching. When the child hugged Dou Fengnian's legs and called him "Dad", Dou Yang pulled him away and said, "Don't shout nonsense, I'm not your dad!"

The child was so aggrieved that he burst into tears after hearing this. He rushed over and punched Dou Yang: "You are talking nonsense! He is my father! I have a father!"

Dou Yang got angry after being punched, and threw the child to the ground: "Then go find your own father!" The child fell to the ground, crying loudly.

"Pa!" Dou Fengnian slapped Dou Yang in the face.

Dou Yang looked at his father, with whom he had depended for five years, turned and left without saying a word.

Dou Yang walked for a while, but couldn't help but look back. The father was holding the child and coaxing him with his head down.

After that, Dou Fengnian was busy with the police station and had not been home for a long time. He often spent the night in the night shift room of the police station or the night shift room of the inspection team.

When he returned, he saw the porridge bowl he had drunk on the morning he left home was still there, unwashed and unput away. Usually these housework were done by his son, and he suddenly realized that his son might not have returned home either.

He ran to the blacksmith shop and watched his son working well from a distance. He felt relieved, but didn't know what to say. He watched for a while and then turned and left.

From then on, the father and son became estranged. They once depended on each other, and the love and support that could be seen in this home even if they did not meet had been replaced by cold silence.

The father and son hardly ever met again.

Once, Dou Fengnian returned home and heard the sound of the window in the inner room. He thought his son was home, but when he looked over, he found the house was empty and the wind had blown open the unfastened window.

Dou Fengnian stayed for a while, then remembered that the landlady had asked him if he had any clothes to wash or mend. He searched for a few pieces in his son's room, and then went to his own room to get some. He was about to go out,

Dou Fengnian stood in front of the door holding the clothes when he unexpectedly heard the door open. When Dou Yang entered the room, he did not expect his father to be standing there.

They were both stunned for a while. When Dou Yang saw the clothes in his father's hands, he seemed to suddenly understand something. He picked out his clothes from his father's hands, took them away, and went into his room.

Dou Yang knew how to sew by himself. After his mother passed away, the ten-year-old tried to mend the clothes by himself.

I once pinned the inside and outside together. I once finished sewing but failed to tie the knot properly, and it all fell apart once I put it on. I once sewed something really ugly, but after all, it had been five years, and I had learned everything.

In the past, he thought it was his father or his father's colleagues' wives, aunts and cousins ​​who helped.

Now he doesn't want to owe this favor.

In the eyes of the little girl Wei Ran, this is the best proprietress in the world, but in the eyes of the fifteen-year-old Dou Yang, that is not the case.

After Rong Huaian came, he got along well with Dou Fengnian and was also taken to this tavern.

The proprietress only asked Rong Huaian what he wanted to drink and what side dishes he wanted.

Rong Huaian took a look at the wine list and small menu written on a bamboo sign hanging on the wall. The prices were much cheaper than the places he usually went to.

I saw that the side dishes on other tables were all served in small dishes, bowls, and plates, so I ordered ten side dishes at once and chose the most expensive wine on the bamboo sign.

Served before the side dishes and wine was a bowl of minced meat noodles topped with eggs and green vegetables.

The proprietress placed the noodles in front of Dou Fengnian and said, "It's not good to drink on an empty stomach. Eat the noodles first. The side dishes are all cold dishes, and this is hot."

Then someone from another table said, "Madam boss, please give our table two bowls of noodles as well."

The lady boss said: "No, I don't sell noodles here!"

The people around burst into laughter. They were all regular customers and were just joking.

Amidst the laughter, a smile also appeared on Dou Fengnian's face.

Probably everyone likes to be favored, even if the special treatment is just a bowl of noodles.

But as long as it is something that others cannot eat at this moment, then it has special meaning and status.

The proprietress quietly asked Dou Fengnian, "Who is he? Is he new here?"

Dou Feng replied in a young voice: "He is a young master from a wealthy family, gifted with extraordinary talents. Our boss worked hard to get him."

The lady boss asked, "What's the special talent?"

Dou Fengnian said: "It's a bit troublesome to explain, but anyway, he must have special abilities."

Rong Huaian didn't expect Dou Fengnian to help serve side dishes, probably because he ordered ten which was a bit too much.

At first, he also looked at Dou Fengnian and the boss lady with a smile, until about two months later, when he met Dou Yang for the first time.
