put down the arrow

The last time Sui Yu saw his parents was probably during Chinese New Year this year. On the night of New Year’s Eve, he queued up to buy roast chicken at a century-old shop. After waiting for nearly half an hour, it was his turn. The biggest one, walked a few kilometers with it, and took the bus back home.

In fact, when we were in the car, Sui Yu had a premonition that he would be scolded, but another villain fought with him in his head, saying that today is New Year's Eve, and no matter what, your father will not educate you on this day.It's a pity that Dad is Dad, whether it's New Year's Eve or the end of the world, it's an established fact.

As soon as he opened the door of the house, and before he had time to change his shoes, Sui Yu heard a man mourning for his indisputability.

"A man who works as a policeman doesn't even have the most basic concept of time. What a family misfortune!"

It was indeed more than ten minutes later than the agreed time. Sui Yu had nothing to say. He changed his shoes and went to the living room. He put the steaming chicken on the table and pointed at the soldier who was standing next to the sofa. The man smiled: "Dad, eat chicken."

"If you put your greedy energy into your work, you wouldn't be a community police officer by now."

The Spring Festival Gala has already begun, and the hostess in a red dress mopping the floor is standing in the center of the stage with a big smile on her face.Sui Yu couldn't remember whether the roast chicken was eaten at the end. He only remembered that after midnight that day, in the new year, the first thing he said to his parents was not Happy New Year, but I will work hard.

The wind was strong at night, Sui Yu looked at Sui Yiguo standing at the door, the hair on the back of his head was blown to the front by the wind, making this serious father look a little funny.If Er'an saw it, he might say that his father looked like Medusa, because Er'an had recently become obsessed with various European and American special effects movies, and wanted to give everyone a nickname when he saw it.

He himself is a person with wings, yet he still exclaims and applauds vigorously when he sees Iron Man flying into the sky.

Sui Yu felt that his mood seemed to relax a little. He took a few steps forward, looked at his frowning father, and stretched out his hand to close the door.

"Why did you come here suddenly?"

"But how do you know what you do every day when you come here?" Sui Yiguo stood still, he glanced at Sui Yu, paused, and then continued: "The leader entrusts you with the work of being on duty, and that's how you are on duty. of?"

"Yes." Sui Yu lowered his eyes and straightened his back, "My fault, I must pay attention next time."

A positive attitude of admitting mistakes can be forgiven the fastest. Sui Yiguo snorted from his nose, walked around to his work station, looked carefully for a while, raised his head and asked, "What work are you mainly responsible for recently?"

"Community work, it's almost the end of the year, I'm checking the household registration recently, and I will run errands for some elderly aunts and uncles in my free time."

Probably because he was not satisfied with this answer, Sui Yiguo didn't say anything for a long time, until after a long sigh, Sui Yiguo walked up to Sui Yu with his hands behind his back: "Next month, you will save me report."

"Forget it, I'm doing pretty well here now." Sui Yu raised his eyes and met the man's cloudy eyes, "And didn't you always say that serving the people is the most glorious job."

Sui Yiguo's patience bottomed out, he waved his hand a little irritably, and said, "Don't talk to me about what you have and what's not, I always tell you to do a good job of those who don't lose me, did you listen?"

This time Sui Yu couldn't talk anymore. Since he was a child, he was not very good at arguing with his father. It wasn't because he was stupid, but because he was born in awe of Sui Yiguo.The reason may be that when other children got into trouble when they were young, their parents would say, "If you make trouble again, I will ask the police uncle to arrest you." Sui Yu does not have this kind of worry, because there are two policemen sitting in his house all the time.

The woman who had been standing by the door finally spoke. She took a few steps forward, stretched out her hand and tugged on Sui Yiguo's sleeve, frowned and said, "Why are you angry again? What did I tell you on the way? Sui Yiguo Yu is not a child who can't listen, why can't you talk to him properly?"

These words are very effective, Sui Yu can see Sui Yiguo's tightly clenched hands gradually loosen.

"This opportunity is rare. You are still a junior at the provincial bureau at your age. If you work hard for a few years, it will definitely be no problem to get promoted once or twice." Sui Yiguo's attitude was unusually gentle. Sui Yu looked at the man's face and could see It came out that his father was actively showing him fatherly love.

"Although you are serving the people in the institute, Dad believes that you can do better when you go to the provincial bureau and join the criminal police team, protecting the people and defending the country."

The content of fatherly love in these words should have reached the limit of what Sui Yiguo could express. It may be more emotional than the one he swore to the police badge at that time.

Sui Yu lowered his head and was silent for a while, and when he raised his head again, he happened to meet Sui Yiguo's gaze, which was full of anticipation and made people feel pressured.

"I know." Sui Yu smiled, paused for a few seconds, and then said, "But Dad, I really don't want to go."

An extremely unfilial and ignorant son appeared, and Sui Yiguo's face was more shocked than disappointed.He couldn't figure out why a child who had been obedient and sensible since childhood became like this now.

"Why don't you want to go?" Sui Yiguo held back for a long time, trying to ease his emotions, trying to become a father who can communicate well with his son.

The wind outside seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, and Sui Yu seemed to be able to hear the sound of the glass vibrating. He lowered his head, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the cold rose tea on his workstation.

"I know the Provincial Bureau is very good. It must have taken a lot of effort for you and Mom to get me in." Sui Yu's technique of making up nonsense is poor, he took a deep breath, and finally decided to confess in front of the old criminal police and be lenient .

"The city is not peaceful now. There was a gun battle in Binli last month. I have been away from the police academy for too many years, and my hands have already given birth—" Before Sui Yu had time to say the last half of the sentence, the crisp voice seemed too loud in the office After a second, Sui Yu could feel his left cheek burning hot, as if he had been scalded, but there was no pain at all.

Sui Yu raised his head, facing Sui Yiguo's furious face and his raised hand that hadn't been retracted.

"Do you still remember what the duties of the police are? You have only graduated a few years ago, have you fed all the knowledge you learned in school to the dogs!" Sui Yiguo was frothing, and the drooping skin on his face was trembling with emotion. He pointed at Sui Yu's face, biting his back molars: "I'm afraid of injustice, injury, and death. Do you still have any brains? Why did I give birth to such a thing as you!"

His face was still hot, probably swollen, Sui Yu raised his head and met his father's gaze.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you and Mom." Sui Yu said, "But I've already made my decision."

Ignoring his father's deep love, Sui Yiguo opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. He took a few steps forward, raised his arm again, and swung towards Sui Yu's left cheek without hesitation.

This slap probably made his mouth bleed, and Sui Yu felt that after staying with Er An for a long time, he might also possess some kind of super power.For example, now Sui Yiguo's raised hand seems to be in slow motion, he can clearly see the man's furious face, and the expression of the mother next to him mourning him.

The imaginary applause did not appear, and when his fingers were about to fall to his face, Sui Yu suddenly stretched out his hand and firmly grasped Sui Yiguo's forearm.No matter how high-spirited the captain of the criminal police was when he was young, he couldn't bear the passage of time. Sui Yiguo pressed his wrist down hard, but he couldn't move it at all.

Sui Yu raised his head, looked at the complex expression on his father's face, paused for a few seconds, and then spoke.

"I'm sorry, Dad."

"But I really don't want to get hurt."

This should be the last straw that crushed Sui Yiguo, Sui Yu watched the man pull his arm out of his hand, nodded, turned around and walked towards the door without looking at him again.Sui Yu was stunned for a few seconds, then walked over, didn't say anything to persuade them to stay, but just opened the door for them.The cold wind poured into the office mercilessly, Sui Yu saw Sui Yiguo's hair was blown up again, the white hair looked dazzling at night.

"You just guard your life well, and I will not be your son in the future."

"Slow down on your way." Sui Yu paused and said, "I still have to be on duty, so I won't see you off."

The door was closed, and Sui Yu didn't look at the back of his parents leaving. He stood in the office, glanced around, and finally landed on the pack of cigarettes that was open on Wei Min's desk.Sui Yu walked over, took one but didn't smoke it, wondering if the slap was too hard, Sui Yu stared at the pot of green radishes in front of him in a daze.

Until there was a slight sound behind him, the door was opened, cold wind blew through his back, and then closed again.

The footsteps behind Sui Yu were very light, Sui Yu lowered his eyes, threw the cigarette between his fingers back on the table, and said with a smile: "Don't you fly, there is also a traffic jam in the sky?"

The people behind him also laughed, and after a pause of two seconds, Sui Yu felt someone wrapping him with an open coat, with warmth.

And An sniffed with a smile, hugged Sui Yu for a while, put his forehead against Sui Yu's back, and whispered, "It's so cold outside, are you cold?"

Sui Yu didn't speak, he turned around and looked down into Er An's eyes.And An's eyes were very dark, and the eyelashes almost merged with the pupils, but Sui Yu was not in the mood to admire, he raised his hand, and lightly touched An's flushed cheek with the back of his hand.

"Little Flying Man was slapped for some reason." Sui Yu paused, and then said, "I'm sorry, I won't do it in the future."

And An smiled and hugged Sui Yu's waist and shook it around a few times, then whispered, "What's the matter, it doesn't hurt."

Sui Yu didn't speak, and he also hugged An. The two of them just walked back and forth in the office. After completing an extremely clumsy and funny waltz performance, An suddenly asked, "The two people just now are your father." mother?"

"Ah."

"Your mother is beautiful, as beautiful as you."

The dim light and shadow of the two folded together cast on the ground, Sui Yu felt very quiet in his heart, he pursed his lips, looked down at Er'an who was holding him and never letting go.

"Why don't you comment on my dad?"

And An blinked in Sui Yu's arms, as if he was thinking about what to say. Three seconds later, An raised his face, looked at Sui Yu and said with a smile, "Your father looks like Medusa." Probably because he was afraid that Sui Yu would not understand, And An pulled out her hand and wrapped it around her hair twice, "His hair is flying like this."

Sui Yu also laughed, touched Er'an's swollen cheeks, and said in a low voice, "It's kind of like it."
