Chapter 466: The Policeman's Dream Across Thousands of Miles

When Chen Shu saw Shelly playing with her mobile phone alone and occasionally giggling happily, he felt that he was really out of touch with the times, and there was a big generation gap with these young people born in the 2000s.

After a few back and forth, Xiaoqiang had already drunk too much, but Chen Shu also learned from his mouth the reason why he traveled a long distance from Dongzhou to come here in the first place.

It turned out that after Chen Shu signed up Xiaoqiang and Zhu Chaoran for public examination training courses, the two of them really took classes and studied seriously. With their academic qualifications, they had no choice but to apply for the police job (the standard for police recruitment is a college degree).

Fortunately, both of them are willing to be police officers, but this is not something you can get into just by thinking about it. For a year and a half, the two of them, who were considered locals and those from other provinces, took the exams and returned. Not to mention whether they passed the exam or not, they had never even been in for an interview.

In desperation, they heard that the requirements in Nx Xinjiang were the lowest in the country, and there was no need to take an exam. People with qualified academic qualifications would be recruited. As soon as they discussed it, they came over.

Only when we arrived did we find out that this establishment was called the business police. Although it was an establishment, it was not a civilian police force. It was essentially a cooperative police force, with the added bonus of a gun license. If you want to be a police officer, unless you have a full-time undergraduate degree, you still have to take an exam.

Zhu Chaoran thought about it and returned to Dongzhou first, preparing to come back next time there was an exam. Xiaoqiang, however, was really tired of taking the exam. He thought that as long as he could work as a policeman stably for the rest of his life and be able to protect people with a gun and fulfill his dream since he was a child, he thought that he would be a career clerk.

I don’t know why, but Xiaoqiang, who retired from the army, used to have a good drinker. This time he only drank a few bottles of Wusu, and he became a bit loud when he spoke.

Chen Shu thought for a while, then filled a cup for both of them, and said, "It's so far away, do you miss home?"

Xiaoqiang stopped raising his glass and did not answer Chen Shu's question directly. He just choked and said: "Brother Shu, I just want to be a policeman! I have wanted to since I was a child! If I can become an official policeman in this life, can I If I work hard for the rest of my life, I will die with my eyes open! Really, in this peaceful era, what profession can best fulfill the dream of being a hero? Isn’t that the police?”

After saying that, Xiaoqiang, whose face was flushed and his eyes were filled with tears, put down the large wine glass he had just finished drinking, held his left shoulder with his right hand, and then carefully patted the non-existent dust.

Chen Shu knew that the place where he had hung the 95BU gun was.

Half a year ago, at Xiaoqiang’s home.

My mother was sitting on the sofa, leaning on the armrest, crying selflessly.

The father had a sullen face, and while smoking a cigarette, he criticized his wife: "What's wrong with Xinjiang? Isn't it in China? There are planes now. It only took a few hours in the past. If you miss your son, just fly." Why did you cry so much in the past because you couldn’t afford the plane ticket? Didn’t it make your son feel at ease?”

After crying for a long time, my mother slowly stood up, her mood still a little unstable: "Back then, I objected to you not studying to become a soldier. But in the end, who among you, old and young, has ever listened to me? Xiaoqiang, you are in the border defense force. Every day, I can’t sleep well at night, and I often have nightmares about you going on a mission.”

The father looked out the window, Xiaoqiang lowered his head and remained silent.

The mother wiped away her tears: "At least, after you returned home from the army, I finally got a good night's sleep for a few days. But you did this to me again, Xiaoqiang, do you still think of me as your mother in your eyes?"

The father turned around and persuaded: "Zuo Zongtang is not afraid of a gray-haired old man. Why are you afraid of a young boy Xiaoqiang? Besides, this is to contribute to the country. Why are you so selfish when you are a role model for others?"

The mother's eyes widened, and her voice suddenly became sharp: "Then you know he is carrying the coffin! I am selfish! I am selfish! What's wrong! I feel sorry for my son!"

After saying that, he cried loudly again.

My father shrank his neck and murmured: "That was different from now."

Xiaoqiang's parents are both local teachers in Dongzhou. One teaches history in high school and the other teaches mathematics in junior high school. Although Xiaoqiang is usually carefree and his academic performance is not very good, he is still considered to be in the upper half of the scholarly family.

As long as Xiaoqiang can remember, his father has never won an argument with his mother.

Seeing that his originally supportive father had lost his voice, Xiaoqiang tried to explain to his mother in a different way: "Mom, you also know that I didn't like studying when I was a child. Now I am in my twenties and I still don't have a stable job. Some time ago You keep urging me to find a girlfriend or go on a blind date, but do you know that as a temporary worker at the police station, how can any serious family be willing to introduce their daughter to me? "

The mother rambled sadly: "Xiaoqiang, it's okay. Your dad and I still have some savings, and we can buy you a house and a car in full. As long as the girl is willing to live with you, her name can be added to the house and car."

Not allowing his mother to finish, Xiaoqiang stood up, stiffened his neck, and said, "Mom, do you think your son is a wimp? I will chew him for as long as I want! You are willing, but I am not willing either!"

Seeing that his mother's mood had eased a little, Xiaoqiang breathed a sigh of relief, and then said seriously: "Mom, it's a fact that I always fail to pass the exam because of my poor grades. It's also a fact that there are only a few places in China that can provide training. Everyone. Everyone is rushing to sign up. If you miss it, you will never get another chance!”

Thinking of the registration and job selection site at the Organization Department's exclusive Nx battlefield, there were only a dozen people in the entire huge provincial venue, which was very different from the crowded registration venues in other provinces a few days ago. Xiaoqiang felt a little guilty, but his expression was extremely anxious, as if if he didn't go to register and finalize the matter today, it might be ruined tomorrow.

The mother finally stopped crying completely. She looked at her husband who was already half a century old and her son who was just full of energy, and sighed: "You are my nemesis, go, go as far as you want, remember to call more and go home more."

Xiaoqiang looked happy, knowing that he had passed the mother's test.

After all, the mother is a mother. She got up and went to the kitchen to bring a plate of peeled and cut apples, and insisted on watching her son eat them.

She caressed her son's broad back with heartache: "I'm really worried about you. You're only 26 years old and you have to go to such a far place to suffer. If you can't stay, don't refuse to come back for the sake of face. The door of home is always open to you."

The father who teaches history was also very happy and encouraged: "Xiao Qiang, I respect your choice and I'm very happy that you have such an ambition. Dad has only one request."

Xiao Qiang grinned: "Give you grandchildren as soon as possible."

The mother wiped away her tears and laughed: "If you really marry a wife there, we will also go there. Don't despise us."

Xiao Qiang opened his arms and hugged his mother like he did when he was a child: "Mom, thank you."
