Chapter 641: Comfort

At around six o'clock in the morning, the white fish belly appeared in the east.

In the morning light, Chen Chuan and Yan Song supported each other and staggered into the lobby on the first floor.

"Brother Chuan, what happened last night? Why do I feel pain in my butt?"

"You're so ugly, but it still hurts! If it hurts, it's mine!"

"Hey!"

After saying a few words, Chen Chuan knelt on the ground and started retching.

"Talk less." Chen Shu, who was following from behind, helped Chen Chuan up, and together with Yan Song, he helped Chen Chuan to the canteen next to the office building.

Although he felt like his throat was blocked when he woke up, and it was a little difficult to speak, Chen Chuan still said stubbornly: "Haha, let me tell you, this iced wine is only enjoyable if you drink it. Look at the ice you drink. A piece of wine, tsk tsk, so boring! But having said that, I drank 20-year-old Shaoxing rice wine with plums boiled in water last year, tsk tsk, it tasted amazing!”

"You, don't be so aggressive. Eat something quickly and go back to rest." Chen Shu smelled Chen Chuan, who smelled of alcohol, and became angry.

It stands to reason that according to Chen Chuan's drinking capacity, not to mention that he can't pour a thousand glasses, the liquor is at least a pound of iron belly. Why did he pour it all last night? In so many years, Chen Shu also met his old classmate for the first time. Mr. Chen, who was known as the nightclub master, had a big fall in drinking.

Zhu Yiba trotted up from behind, patted Yan Song, and motioned to Yan Song, who was also a little drunk, to go and rest aside for a while, and he would help support Chen Chuan.

Stabilizing his posture, Zhu Yiba said leisurely: "Putting some ice cubes in this white wine will lower the alcohol content, so it doesn't matter if we drink it. But Chen Chuan, this kid, is trying to kill himself, so he just drinks the chilled white wine. . This thing doesn’t have the spiciness at room temperature when it’s frozen, and it tastes a bit like soda water. Sometimes when you drink it, you can’t control the amount.”

Chen Shu glanced at Yan Song, who was still walking, and asked, "Isn't Yan Song drinking this wine with Chen Chuan behind him? Why does he look okay?"

When they were drinking last night, Chen Shu and Zhu Yiba were chatting about border defense and frontier affairs without paying any attention to it. It was Yan Song who accompanied Chen Chuan while drinking and chatting about the mountains. Afterwards, Chen Chuan easily provoked him and he followed. We drank ice-cold white wine together.

Yan Song stuck out his tongue and said with shame: "Although this is the first time for me to drink this ice-cold liquor, I see the old people in the village drinking this wine every year when I go back to my hometown. The one that left a deep impression was the family dinner during the Chinese New Year. One of the elders just drank a bottle of ice-cold liquor and went in.

"The end result was a cerebral hemorrhage. It was said that he was very peaceful when he left, so I didn't dare to drink too much last night."

"You kid, you didn't even tell me about this even if you knew about it." Chen Chuan, who was being held in the middle, joked feebly, "When I get too old and can't get into bed, I will have to drink two bottles of ice cream in a row. Let's go like this more peaceful."

Chen Shu patted Chen Chuan on the head and criticized: "You are just poor, don't do it next time."

Chen Chuan felt much better after vomiting in front of him, and said cautiously: "Shu, why don't you help me go back to sleep, or you can just bring me some porridge or something. Don't worry, I feel much better now. "

Chen Shu was so angry that he hit another chestnut on his forehead: "You were the one who had to get up and go downstairs for breakfast. After everyone woke up and helped you go downstairs, he said: Go back? Are you kidding us?"

Chen Chuan winced and kept saying nice things, but he was still carried to the cafeteria on his armpits.

Today I have an early security mission. The cafeteria opened early and my uncle has been busy inside for a long time. But it was also because dinner started early, so there were only some steamed buns, meat buns, fried dough sticks and milk that the uncle had bought early.

Naturally, pasta and porridge that require complicated preparation are gone.

Under Chen Shu's glare, Chen Chuan honestly took two steamed buns and a bottle of milk and sat down to eat. Anyway, they all went downstairs, and Zhu Yiba and Yan Song each picked their accustomed seats and ate together.

Chen Shu took a quick look and happened to see Xu Mingliang sitting alone. He immediately patted Chen Chuan on the shoulder and moved over to sit next to Xu Mingliang.

He has greasy and messy hair and wears a sky-blue jacket. It sounds cool and casual at best, but in fact he is a bit sloppy.

"The guards will be out in the morning?" Chen Shu took a sip of milk and thought it was okay. He glanced at the travel bag placed next to Xu Mingliang and asked, "Out of town?"

"The local security mission informed us that the guests will have to stay for a few days. Hey, I guess I have to guard the gate for a few days." Xu Mingliang patted his travel bag and said helplessly, "I'm getting older, so I feel a little tired. Not moving."

Chen Shu suddenly remembered a small meeting held in the brigade a few days ago that only brigade leaders participated in. The content was about the exchanges and whereabouts of several older police officers in the brigade.

At this moment, I noticed the loneliness in Xu Mingliang's words, and after taking a closer look, I felt that the worried middle-aged man in front of me didn't seem to be deliberately artificial.

After breakfast, Chen Shu saw that there was still some free time before the gathering of security guards, so he called Xu Mingliang to the office to chat for a few words.

During the chat, I learned that Deputy Instructor Xie Chi had notified individuals about the exchange, and Xu Mingliang was one of them. The police station where the exchange took place was the most remote police station in Zhengming District.

Xu Mingliang's low mood today comes from this.

Chen Shu made a cup of tea for Xu Mingliang, and first recalled the interesting things they encountered when they worked together in the special police detachment, as a way to build their relationship, and then got to the point.

"Brother Xu, you don't have to think too much. The unit doesn't dislike you. The main thing is that we special police have to leave when we reach the age. Look, isn't Li Da going to the legal system this time?"

"Well, that's not what I mean. I just feel that this police station is too far away. Look, Lao Yang, Lao Hu and the others are pretty good, all in the city, and I am the only one who was driven to Maqiao. I feel like I was exiled."

"Brother Xu, you are also an old special police, and you have worked in a life-threatening department like bomb disposal. How could they exile you? In fact, the detachment's investigation and training department came several times to find Coach Xie and wanted you to go back as an instructor, but in the end, wasn't it you who was stubborn?"

Xu Mingliang sighed, looking lonely.

Chen Shu knew that he was thinking of his classmates who had sacrificed their lives, so he didn't say anything. He waited until he calmed down before continuing, "I just looked at the list. What you did is not called exile, but care by the organization."

"Care? How is that possible! It takes more than an hour to drive to that remote place!" Xu Mingliang smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Brother Xu, you have never been in the police station, so you don't know the specific situation of the police station. In the special police, people like you who are nearly 40 years old are considered old comrades, and basically no hard tasks will be assigned to you. But once you go to the police station, the situation is completely different. A 50-year-old comrade still has to stay up late on duty. If you are less than 40, you are the backbone of the station! But you have to be used like a beast of burden!"

Chen Shu took out a pack of cigarettes from his arms, shook it out and dropped one, and handed it over.

Xu Mingliang was stunned and even forgot to take the cigarette: "Is this so exaggerated? Hey, didn't I go to the police station?"

"Your police station is different from other police stations. Maqiao police station has less than one police incident a day. Considering that you work far away, you generally don't need to punch in. Don't worry, the leaders will definitely turn a blind eye. The indicators and tasks will be discounted. For guard missions like today, you know that in such remote places, no one will come for half a year!"

Speaking of the latter, Chen Shu directly stretched out three fingers and pointed them one by one and said: "The water police station, the agency police station and the Maqiao police station you are going to are famous retirement sanctuaries in the branch. They are good places."

"It seems to make sense. There is no leader who will go to the countryside to inspect or learn. It's a bit like the emperor is far away."

"Many things, thank you for teaching you to say it too bluntly. After all, there are other people who will also communicate with you. You just need to know what's going on."

Chen Shu's eyebrows were curved, knowing that Xu Mingliang's worries were relieved.

For a moment, he felt that he was also a talent, and it was only natural that he would be promoted to instructor.
