The Pentium Era - South to North

Lao Tie walked outside to the duty hall. There was no police situation. Four or five policemen on duty were sitting or standing chatting there. The policeman on duty saw Lao Tie coming out alone and said strangely:

"Boss, where is Xiao Wu? I saw Xiao Wu going to your place earlier."

Lao Tie said angrily, yes, at my place, he detained himself there.

Everyone looked at Lao Tie, wondering what he was talking about. Lao Tie told everyone why Xiao Wu came and what he said to him, and everyone burst into laughter.

Someone shouted: "Boss, you are an old revolutionary who has encountered new problems."

Lao Tie also laughed. He said, I have been a policeman for so many years, but I have never seen someone come to me and beg me to detain him.

After laughing, he looked at them and cursed: "You are still laughing, why don't you help me think of a solution, or else, will you let him detain you in my office all the time?"

"It's difficult to handle. I have a headache. This uncle is staying at his nephew's house and refuses to leave. Not to mention our police, not even the Emperor can take care of it," someone said.

"You all are so arrogant that you can't get that uncle away. Think of a way to get him away from me," Lao Tie said.

"It's hard to handle, boss. You also said that we can't detain him. He's not too drunk. If he is, we can help him get a hospital to hang up the hanging needle." Someone said.

Lao Tie scratched his head. He also felt that this matter was really worrying.

"Boss, either you give us special permission to go to him for a drink, and the restaurant will reimburse him, and we guarantee to make him drunk." Someone shouted.

"Yes, that's a good move." Someone immediately responded.

"Okay, you go and drink. You don't need to be reimbursed by the hospital. I will reimburse you myself. After drinking, Xiao Wu goes to the hospital and I will send you to solitary confinement!" Lao Tie glared at them.

"Either ask their group to come and take the people back." Someone said.

Someone immediately objected: "There are still people in the Wu Opera Troupe now. There are people. That uncle is in the troupe. How could Xiao Wu go back? Even if he went out and came back, he would not go to the boss's office to self-detain himself."

"That's right, their regimental leader doesn't know whether Xiao Wu listens to him or he listens to Xiao Wu, and there's no way he can be persuaded to leave," someone said.

"By the way, boss, Xiao Wu listens to one person the most. As long as she comes, she will definitely persuade Xiao Wu to leave your place." Someone shouted.

"Who?" Lao Tie asked.

"Tan Shuzhen, that Miss Yongcheng."

"It's so late at night, where can I go to find someone?"

"She sings every night in the dance hall above the cultural center. If you go there now, you can definitely find her."

Lao Tie looked at the person who spoke and cursed: "Do you, kid, go there often and know it so well?"

The man chuckled: "When I'm not at work, I just go listen to music."

"Then why don't you go quickly and help me invite people over." Lao Tie scolded.

"It's your order!" The man put his feet together and ran out, and then the sound of three wheels churning could be heard outside.

The churning sound completely disappeared in the night sky of Yongcheng. After more than ten minutes, it sounded again, getting closer and closer. Lao Tie and the people in the hall all walked to the door and saw Tan Shuzhen coming from the side of the three-wheeler. Get out of the truck.

In a small county town with a small immigrant population at that time, Tan Shuzhen was a local celebrity, and Chang Tie from the police station was also a local celebrity. These two local celebrities usually interacted in various activities and knew each other. Tan Shuzhen watched When Lao Tie stood at the door, he asked as he walked:

"Director, what's going on?"

The two of them stood at the door and started chatting. Lao Tie talked about Xiao Wu's uncle, and Tan Shuzhen said I know that scoundrel. The whole Wu Opera Troupe fell out with him.

"What, he caused trouble in the Wu Opera Troupe? That's easy to handle, then we can go and bring him back." Someone nearby shouted immediately.

"Where, he took several of his children there, ate and slept, ate all the food tickets in Xiao Wu's room, and then went to the cafeteria to get credit, saying that he would pay after Xiao Wu came back. The chef in the cafeteria saw Because he disliked this person, he refused to give credit. He told him that the canteen would not give credit, even if Xiao Wu himself came.

"He had no choice, so he went upstairs and downstairs to borrow meal tickets from the whole group. Seeing that he was such an old man and was Xiao Wu's uncle, he lent them to him. How much he borrowed, that meal would definitely be After the meal stamps were used up, our teacher Li thought that this was not an option, as this person would continue to rely on them, so he told everyone that if he came to borrow them again, they all said that the meal stamps were gone after the meal stamps were used up.

"If you can't borrow meal tickets, everyone thinks, you won't starve to death in your room, you have to leave. He didn't, so he still slept. As you know, the people in our group are cooking in the corridor. As soon as he heard the sound of pots outside, he walked out and stood next to people to strike up a conversation.

"After all, he is Xiao Wu's uncle. When he wants to talk to someone, they are too embarrassed to ignore him. He just keeps standing and talking to you. When you finish cooking the dishes and bring them to the table in the room, he will follow. He praises others for making this dish well and that dish well, and also asks, I see your dish is not too salty with the addition of salt and soy sauce?

"There is always that person who is thin-skinned and will be polite and say, do you want to try it? He took the chopsticks, tasted it and said, 'It's not salty. It's really not salty at all. Your craftsmanship is great.' He took it He pointed to the dish on the side with his chopsticks and asked, "Can I try this too? What can I say? Of course, I mean you've tasted it, so you're welcome."

"After saying that, he walked out to the corridor and called out, and his children came running over. He told them that this uncle wants to treat you to dinner, so don't be polite and thank him quickly.

"Those kids just called me thank you, uncle. What else could they do? I felt bitter, but I could only continue to say don't be polite. They were really rude. They found bowls and chopsticks to eat the food themselves. , they ate up all the food without even taking a bite.

"As a result, now in the troupe, no one dares to cook in the corridor outside. They have moved the briquette stove and kerosene stove into the room, and the door is closed for cooking. When someone knocks on the door while cooking, they dare not open the door. , I am afraid that this living treasure is standing at the door."

When Tan Shuzhen said this, everyone burst into laughter. Lao Tie teased the policeman who said he could go and bring the person back, and told him, "Go ahead, go and handcuff the person back."

The man chuckled. It turned out that it was really difficult to handle a falling out like this. It was not something that we police could handle.

Lao Tie and Tan Shuzhen talked about Xiao Wu's visit tonight. Lao Tie said, Xiao Tan, please help me. Staying in my office is not an option. My office is not convenient for everyone. place.

Tan Shuzhen nodded, she said I understand, director.

Tan Shuzhen followed Lao Tie and walked into his office. Xiao Wu was still sleeping soundly on the sofa. Tan Shuzhen pushed him. Xiao Wu opened his eyes and saw that it was Tan Shuzhen. He quickly sat up. Xiao Wu asked:

"Sister Shuzhen, why are you here?"

"You asked me, you and sister, why are you here?"

"I'm looking for Lao Tie." Xiao Wu pointed to Lao Tie behind Tan Shuzhen.

"Why are you looking for the director?"

Xiao Wu sighed: "I asked him to detain me."

"Are you the director or is he the director? If you ask him to detain you, he will detain you? Xiao Wu, the sister asked you to beat me, will you beat me?"

"Why should I hit you?"

"Then why did they detain you? Did you fight, rob, or steal?"

"If he doesn't detain me, I won't detain him. I'll detain myself here. Isn't that okay?"

"No. How can you detain yourself? Sleeping on the sofa like this? This is the director's office, where you sleep? While you are here, does the director still need to work and handle police duties?"

"He's busy with his business, and I won't disturb him."

"You are just disturbing others in this office. This is the director's office. There are so many documents, files and important things. Any outsider can stay there? If you are here, the director can't go out, even Can’t even use the toilet?”

Xiao Wu was speechless.

"Get up quickly and follow sister."

"Where to go?"

"go home."

When Xiao Wu heard this, he panicked and kept shaking his head: "If I don't go, I won't go. Once I go back, I won't be able to get out."

"Coward." Tan Shuzhen burst into laughter, "I didn't know that you, Xiao Wu, are so afraid of others."

"You don't know, Sister Shuzhen, they are very annoying. They just hold me like that and call me brother, brother. I can't hit me, I can't scold, I can't walk, and I can't leave. When I go to the toilet, there are two people there. Follow me. I told them that day to go shopping at the store below. They followed me down and I told them to pick out the popsicles in the freezer. I ran away when they went to pick out the popsicles."

Tan Shuzhen and Lao Tie both laughed when they heard what Xiao Wu said. Xiao Wu said, "Really, if I go back again, my uncle will probably have to follow me when I go to the toilet."

Tan Shuzhen remembered and asked, "Did you go to my office that day to avoid them?"

Xiao Wu nodded: "I escaped that day. They saw me at the farmer's market, so I had to escape to your bank across the street."

Tan Shuzhen smiled, stretched out her hand and pulled the clothes on Xiao Wu's shoulders, and told him, let's go.

"If you don't go, I won't go back." Xiao Wu shook his head.

"Come back with me to your sister's house." Tan Shuzhen said, "Isn't it said that the most dangerous place is the safest? Your uncle would never have thought that if you escaped from the Wu Opera Troupe, you would go to the Yue Opera Troupe inside."

"Yes, yes, Xiao Tan is right." Lao Tie said quickly.

Xiao Wu then stood up, and the three of them walked out. When they walked into the hall, Xiao Wu waved goodbye to the smiling policemen.

Someone shouted: "Xiao Wu, come back when you have time."

Lao Tie waved his hand and slapped him in the face. The man avoided it and the others laughed.

Xiao Wu rode his bicycle and took Tan Shuzhen with him, looking around with vigilance. When they were approaching the foot of the Wu Opera Troupe, Xiao Wu and Tan Shuzhen said, Sister Shuzhen, look behind you and shout if someone comes over. .

Tan Shuzhen nodded.

Xiao Wu pedaled the bicycle fiercely, and with all his strength, he led Tan Shuzhen to the top of such a long uphill slope. Tan Shuzhen was worried that the bicycle chain would break at any time.

Feng Laogui heard Tan Shuzhen's voice outside. She seemed to be talking to someone. Feng Laogui was confused and turned on the light switch in the corridor. Then he opened the door and saw Xiao Wu and Tan Shuzhen coming together. Feng Laogui shouted :

"Xiao Wu, I've been looking for you everywhere these days. Where have you been? When did you get your precious uncle away?"

Tan Shuzhen quickly winked at Feng Laogui, and Feng Laogui shut up.

Tan Shuzhen opened the door opposite and told Xiao Wu, "You can sleep on this sofa tonight. Don't worry, they won't come here."

"Thank you, Sister Shuzhen!" Xiao Wu said.

"Lao Gui, get a clean towel and your clothes and pants, and let Xiao Wu take a bath first."

Feng Laogui responded with "oh oh oh".

Tan Shuzhen turned to Xiao Wu and said, "I'll prepare hot water for you."

"No need for hot water, just wash it like this." Xiao Wu said.

There are two shower faucets on the trough of the toilet at the end of the corridor. The faucets are gone and only two bent water pipes are left. Everyone takes a bath there, just like this in summer, and in winter with a washbasin and a few hot water bottles. Put the boiling water in, and put the cold water in the boiling water to wash.
