Chapter 435 Returning Home to Visit Parents (Part 1)

Shortly after being discharged from the hospital, Chen Shu felt ashamed of his parents who had broken his heart and took the initiative to make an appointment to go home to visit his elders.

After parking the golf car on the roadside, Chen Shu got out of the car and went downstairs to the old building where he had lived for more than ten years as a child. He looked up at the window of his bedroom.

I remember that at the beginning, he had been sitting by the window studying for ten years, dreaming of being a scientist, an archaeologist, a musician, etc., but in the blink of an eye he had become a people's policeman.

Time is so fast that people are caught off guard.

"Little book, is it a little book?" an old woman walked out of the stairs, leaning on a cane and shouted.

Chen Shu followed the voice and looked over and found that it was his old neighbor who lived on the third floor. He smiled and greeted him, holding his arm: "Grandma Wang, it's me."

Grandma Wang recognized the little boy back then and narrowed her eyes with a smile: "Oh, you have grown so big! But I can still recognize you at a glance!"

"Grandma Wang has sharp eyes!"

"Have you been busy with work recently? Why haven't you come home? Do you all live in the workplace?" Grandma Wang kept nagging, her words full of concern.

Chen Shu responded with a smile and helped Grandma Wang upstairs.

When they were delivered to the door of Grandma Wang's house on the third floor, Grandma Wang seemed to suddenly think of something. She held Chen Shu's hand and said softly: "As long as the work is not busy, you should go home and see your parents more often. You I don’t know how much your parents miss you. Every time we meet and chat for a while inside and outside the building, they never miss you, the policeman’s son.”

Chen Shu felt guilty. He was busy with official duties but often forgot about his aging parents. The masses need the police, but the old man and his mother also need a responsible son.

Before Grandma Wang entered the door, she turned around and warned: "You, do less dangerous things in the future and pay more attention to safety! I met your mother a few times and said hello several times but she didn't respond. I saw her like that. I knew something must have happened to you."

After saying that, he opened the door and walked into the house.

Chen Shu was left alone outside the door as he was ashamed.

When he returned home, Chen Shu knocked on the door and called "Mom" as if he were a child coming home from school.

After a while, the security door was opened from the inside, and Chen Ma smiled and took a pair of clean slippers from the shoe cabinet next to her and placed them on the floor.

"Come in quickly. Your dad is cooking in the kitchen. It's all your favorite food. You can eat it right away."

After parents have lived for decades, they may forget many things and people in this life, but they cannot forget the dishes that their children love to eat.

Chen Shu sniffed hard and found that it was a familiar aroma. One of the dishes must be pig's trotters stewed in wine.

After so many years, the taste has not changed at all.

After entering the restaurant and sitting down, Chen Shu looked at the four dishes and one soup on the table, wondering in his heart how long it had been since he had visited his parents at home, and how long they had worried him during such a long period of time.

Mother Chen walked to Chen Shu, helped take off her son's coat, took it to the living room and put it on the hanger next to the sofa, and preached like she did when she was a child when she was eating: "Son, wash your hands first."

"Okay!" Chen Shu agreed with great nostalgia.

By the time he returned to the restaurant after washing his hands, Chen's father had already opened two bottles of red wine: "Chen Shu, it's rare to come over today and have some wine with dad."

Chen Shu smiled and picked up one of the bottles and looked at it: "Dad, this is not a little wine. Well, 14% Argentinian red wine, very tasteful."

Father Chen poured it on himself first: "What's the taste, it's cheap! Who doesn't know that the red wine in France and Italy is good, but your father and I can't afford it. Oh, by the way, don't waste this money on buying wine for me. I know exactly how much salary you have in your pocket.”

Chen Shu put down the red wine in his hand, as if he had gone back to the days when he was a child and always argued with his father when there was nothing wrong: "Dad, it depends on what you said! It's just a few bottles of wine. I can still afford it for your son!"

"Can you afford it? Then you should pay off your mortgage first!" Although Father Chen's words were filled with disgust, the cheerful smile on his face could not be faked.

Father Chen poured the red wine into the decanter and asked casually: "Is the work busy lately?"

Chen's father has always been proud of being able to guide Chen Shu to the provincial police station when he was a senior in high school. Therefore, Chen's father, who has a son who is a police officer, always asks his son about his job and unit every time he comes home. The things above are unbreakable habits.

"It's okay, that's it. By the way, I encountered something interesting a few days ago. We picked up a half-year-old child during patrol, and took him for a physical examination as usual. Finally, I arranged for my colleagues to send the child to an orphanage. At that time, by the way, it was the guy named Chen Chuan who was my classmate in the police academy. "

Chen Shu spoke vividly. He knew that his parents liked to hear these things related to his work. So we often talk about relevant and interesting things, which can bring a little fun to our parents.

When Chen's mother heard that it was Chen Chuan, Chen Shu's good friend from the police academy, she didn't know what her brain circuit was like. The first thing she asked Chen Shu about was Chen Chuan's single status, and then she squinted her eyes and muttered something.

This elder likes to match others, and Chen Shu also met him today.

"Chen Chuan? I remember that he went to the city bureau when he was assigned after graduation, right? Why are you following you to the special police now?" Father Chen didn't understand the organizational structure of the Public Security Bureau, but he was superior to the city bureau and was at the grassroots level of the branch. I still understand the matter.

Chen Shu explained why Chen Chuan, who originally worked in the Municipal Bureau, was temporarily assigned to the Special Police Brigade of the Branch Bureau. Seeing the devoted expressions of his parents and the joy of the short reunion of this small family of three, he was also very happy.

Chen Shu continued to smile and said: "Chen Chuan sent the child to the welfare home, but the home said that they would name the child. This guy who was just making a living was too troublesome and directly used my name. Afterwards, he proudly told me that this name was auspicious!"

Chen Shu talked about interesting things at work. He originally wanted to bring some joy to his family. Unexpectedly, Chen's father and mother, who were originally smiling and listening to Chen Shu's words, fell silent at the same time when they heard the last word "auspicious" from Chen Shu.

The two old people looked at each other and saw the worries in each other's eyes. They turned around and looked at their son who was talking freely. They forced smiles and responded.

Sometimes Chen's father secretly thought that if he had gone to the archaeology department or military academy according to Chen Shu's own wishes, would it be safer?

The proud father shook his head. The matter had long passed, and the present should be done now.

He pushed a bottle of red wine in front of Chen Shu, trying to drink to relieve his worries: "Don't talk about work, let's sit down and drink some wine first."

For so many years, Chen's father, who has always liked to listen to Chen Shu's nagging about the trivialities of the unit, took the initiative to not talk about work today, which made Chen Shu, who had just started, stunned.

He was just a little curious, and didn't think too much. He smiled bitterly and sat down: "Dad, we can't drink on weekdays. We can only drink on holidays when we are not on standby."

"There is such a rule?"

"There is such a rule!"

Chen's father said unhappily: "It's really not easy for you to be a policeman. If a man doesn't drink, his life is in vain! Hey, drinking on weekends is enough, at least you can drink two days a week. Wait, you always work overtime and standby, so if you subtract this, how many days can you drink in a year?"

Hearing that Chen's father was still worried about his drinking, Chen Shu was the one who really didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he was still prepared to cooperate with his father seriously.

He stretched out his right hand and flipped through the pages. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "The most miserable comrade in our branch has only been able to drink for ten days since he started working after the Chinese New Year."

Thanks to the brothers' efforts, everyone voted for me, and Lao Xiong got nearly 40 monthly votes yesterday, breaking the record. This really makes Lao Xiong happy and a little ashamed.

Thanks to everyone here, especially Duo Younaihe, this is an old friend. If I remember correctly, you have been here since Lao Xiong started writing.

I won't say much nonsense here, I must add more tomorrow!

Finally, thank you brothers who have been following the reading. It is because of your silent support that "Police Chen's Book" has persisted in breaking one million.

Thank you!
