Chapter 562: Welcoming New Border Guards
Chen Shu put down the phone, feeling a little surprised by Zhu Li's sudden invitation, but it is really difficult to swap with others for weekend duty now.
Due to the new alcohol prohibition, police officers can no longer drink on weekdays, so the two days of rest on weekends are naturally delicious.
In addition, no matter whether you are on weekend duty, overtime, and the increasingly intense first-level duty and first-level enhanced duty, sometimes even these two days have to be used sparingly.
It's time to change shifts at this time, it's a life-threatening thing.
It's almost time to get off work, Chen Shu turned off the lights and windows, tidied up the office and went to the cafeteria on the first floor, ready to eat before going home.
For single young people who are not good at washing, the company cafeteria is good in this regard. Breakfast, lunch and dinner, as long as you come, eat whatever you want, cheap and good, and just throw away the dishes after eating.
For single dogs who are too lazy to buy vegetables and cook, it is really a good benefit.
It is said that the treatment in the cafeteria of the Municipal Bureau is even more enviable. Although the police have to swipe their cards to pay for meals, the nutritious fast food with both meat and vegetables is only four yuan, which is equivalent to giving it away for free. By the way, the meal allowance in this card is 800 yuan per month, and it is estimated that even a pig cannot finish it in the canteen.
Normally, the subsidized meal expenses are saved until the end of the year, and then they are collectively exchanged for equivalent supplies at the canteen in the bureau, usually cigarettes and oil cards. In recent years, Huawei mobile phones and tablets have also been opened, so that everyone's meal expenses have a place to go.
The small stir-fried dishes in the canteen are slightly more expensive. The general price is 10 yuan per dish for meat dishes and 5 yuan per dish for vegetarian dishes. There are fish, shrimps and meat. The taste is so-so, but not large enough to fill you up.
According to the police in the municipal bureau, it is better to pay by swiping a card. If it is free, they can't bring their families to the unit canteen for meals. It is rumored that a policeman brought his wife, children and live-in nanny to eat together, and a meal cost fifty yuan, and the whole family was full. Even if the toll is included, it is still cost-effective.
Passing by the newly built doghouse in the team, Chen Shu saw Dahui, who was lying on the ground, stand up with his tail wagging lightly, and his eyes were full of joy.
He must have remembered the delicious meat supper he had when he followed Chen Shu on patrol last time.
"Dahui, sit down!"
Perhaps he felt that it was a bit embarrassing for a police dog to wag its tail, so Yan Song, the new trainer of the brigade, poked his head out from the other side of the wall, frowned and shouted loudly.
Chen Shu looked over in the direction of the voice and saw that Yan Song was holding a small bowl in his hand, on which there was an egg in addition to dog food.
Yan Song also saw Chen Shu, touched his head, and said awkwardly: "Chen Da."
Chen Shu walked closer and saw that there was a piece of raw meat in the bowl in addition to dog food and eggs.
"Yan Song, did you prepare all the food? It looks pretty good."
Yan Song hung his head and sighed: "I just hate to cook at home, so I stay in the team to eat every day before going back. I didn't expect that I would have to serve Da Hui in the end."
When Da Hui heard someone mention his name, his head was raised and his tail was shaking more vigorously.
Chen Shu patted Yan Song's shoulder: "Feed Da Hui until he is shiny, and you will have face when you take him out for patrol, right? You are good partners now."
Yan Song hung his head and said weakly: "That's all I can do."
Chen Shu took the bowl from Yan Song's hand and helped put the food next to Da Hui.
That being said, the two squatted on the side and watched Da Hui eat happily, and they were still proud in their hearts. After all, Da Hui was also one of their own, and if you think about it seriously, he is also a comrade-in-arms.
Chen Shu waved his hand: "Let's go and eat. What are we having in the cafeteria tonight?"
Yan Song smiled: "Thanks to Dahui, we sent a lot more eggs today. Auntie made fried rice for us and said that she added a lot of eggs!"
Chen Shu touched Dahui's head: "Haha, it turns out that we are here to get some from Dahui."
As they talked, they walked into the cafeteria and ran into the deputy instructor Xie Chi who was walking out.
Xie Chi looked up at the two of them and smiled: "Do you have a mission tomorrow night? If you don't have anything, have a meal with the new comrades."
Chen Shu asked and found out that a group of new police officers who were transferred from border defense to public security arrived at the branch today, and more than ten of them were assigned to the Zhengming Special Police Brigade. So as an instructor, Xie Chi prepared to organize a dinner party to let them integrate into the new collective as soon as possible.
These soldiers who passed the exam became police officers, and those who did not pass became auxiliary police officers. However, the bureau gave them career establishment, which can be regarded as a stable job that can be used until retirement. The luckiest ones were those who joined the army when they graduated from junior high school at the age of 17. They were also transferred to civil servants when they turned 18 the following year.
Tomorrow happens to be Saturday, so we can drink.
Originally, Xie Chi had the idea of only organizing the retired or demobilized soldiers in the brigade. After all, there were nearly 100 members in the brigade, and even if the duty group was subtracted, there would still be seven or eight tables to set up.
Xie Chi, who was in charge of the brigade's finances and was frugal by nature, thought about saving as much as possible, so he didn't notify others. Unexpectedly, he just received a call from the branch office, saying that the bureau had specially allocated a sum of money to the receiving unit, saying that it was specifically for welcoming new members.
Now that he didn't have to worry about the meal expenses, Xie Chi naturally called the entire brigade, fearing that he would miss someone, and even went to the cafeteria to gather people together.
Western food for the forensic doctor and a drinking party for his comrades, Chen Shu tilted his head and thought about it, and then agreed to Xie Chi's proposal.
"No problem!"
Saturday night.
Xie Chi booked seven tables at a nearby cheap and good restaurant. Normally, there had never been such a big fuss in the unit before. Even for the New Year's Eve party, each squadron had its own party.
This time, except for a group of people on duty at the unit, almost all the members of the brigade were present.
Because all the people present were young, they naturally became familiar with each other quickly.
Before the first hot dish was even served, the scene began to hear the "bang bang bang" sound of wine glasses colliding. People urging people to drink, bragging, and patting their chests were heard.
Especially Yang Chang and Zhao Mingfeng, who retired from the army and transferred to the special police a few years ago, met this group of newly transferred armed police, who were much younger than them. At this time, they were like fish in water, pretending to be an old squad leader and teaching diligently, but in fact they were very happy.
Captain Li Da, deputy instructor Xie Chi, deputy captain Chen Shu, and several squadron leaders naturally sat at a large table at the innermost part of the hall.
In addition to this group of special police brigade cadres, a middle-aged man who was unfamiliar to them sat on the right side of Xie Chi. According to Xie Chi's introduction, he was a section chief of the district's Veterans Affairs Bureau. There was also a young re-trained soldier named Zhu Yiba. Since he had the highest military rank before retirement, he sat at the leadership table as a representative of this group of re-trained soldiers.
Chen Shu followed the rules and first toasted the guest who came, the section chief, with a full glass of red wine, and then toasted the newcomer Zhu Yiba with a full glass.
The section chief and Zhu Yiba both drank it in one gulp, and then returned a glass of wine.
This is very military! And also very public security!
The other two brigade leaders and several squadron leaders also held their glasses and stood up to start a few toasts.
