While Liu Handong was cooking, he kept his ears open to listen to the sounds in the living room. However, the kitchen door was closed and the range hood was loud. He was not a good listener, so he couldn't hear anything. He simply stopped listening and tried his best to cook.
.
After a while, Ma Ling came in, with red eyes and a depressed expression. He picked up the fried dishes and returned to the living room without saying anything else.
Liu Handong stir-fried another dish, stewed Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup, took off his apron, and carried the spicy chicken into the living room. The Ma family's house was small in size. The living room and dining room were integrated. Cups, plates, bowls and chopsticks were placed on the table. Ma Guoqing started from
I took out a bottle of Huaijiang Special Music from the cupboard, and it seemed that I was going to have a few drinks with my future son-in-law.
This was a good signal. Liu Handong felt happy and hurriedly went to pick up the bottle: "Uncle, let me do it."
Ma Guoqing's strong hand prevented Liu Handong from snatching the bottle away. He insisted on pouring Liu Handong a glass of wine and said, "Since we are here, we are guests. Let's have a drink and chat today."
"I also want to report my personal situation to my uncle and aunt." Liu Handong said, this was the line Ma Ling had set for him.
Ma Guoqing shook his head: "No need, I know your family situation very well. Most workers' children live in the staff dormitories of the 1980s."
Liu Handong's expression darkened. He had forgotten that Ma Guoqing was a police officer. It was too easy to investigate his own situation from the intranet. He was a posthumous son, his mother was laid off, and his stepfather also retired. The person who makes the most money in the family is his grandfather, but he can't count on him in his waning years.
, this condition is really not good.
Ma Guoqing added: "I'm not the kind of person who dislikes poverty and loves wealth. My family conditions are not high, as long as I'm well-matched. Well, one of us will leave first."
As he said this, he picked up the wine glass, and Liu Handong also picked it up, touched it low, and drank it all in one gulp.
Wang Yulan greeted: "Xiao Liu, eat vegetables, eat vegetables." Her tone was extremely cold.
No one moved their chopsticks.
Ma Guoqing continued: "At the beginning of next year, the provincial department will recruit anti-riot police officers across the province. I have also heard the news. With your conditions, it will not be a problem to get in, and it will not be a problem to be regularized. But your temper and character are really not good."
You are suitable to be a policeman. You are so capable of causing trouble. When you become a policeman, you still don't cause trouble for the boss all the time. Injuring people is a trivial matter. You have to pay for it. What should Ling'er do? There was a shootout on the highway a few days ago. You were responsible, right?
, I heard that your mother was also injured and almost died."
Liu Handong lowered his head and remained silent.
"Xiao Liu, I am just a daughter. I don't want her to be rich and powerful. At least I want her to be happy and stable. After I retire, I will coax my grandson and take care of her. I don't want much, but you
Can it be done?"
"I can." Liu Handong said this not sincerely, but he had to express his stance at this moment.
"What can you do?" Ma Guoqing put down his wine glass. "In just the past two or three months, you have been on the verge of death several times. The police are a high-risk industry, and you are a high-risk person in a high-risk industry. I
I don’t want my daughter to be in fear all day long, and I don’t want her to be widowed at a young age. Can you understand the painstaking efforts of a father?”
Having said this, there is nothing more to talk about.
Wang Yulan continued to greet: "Eat vegetables, eat vegetables."
Liu Handong stood up: "I'm leaving."
Ma Guoqing said: "Ling'er, see the guests off."
Wang Yulan also said: "Put the things up."
Ma Ling stood up silently and took the gift Liu Handong brought. Liu Handong stood up, bowed to Ma Guoqing and Wang Yulan, turned around and went out. The two came downstairs. Liu Handong opened the car door, put the things in and said, "You
Let’s go back and eat.”
"Don't worry, think of a solution later." Ma Ling comforted him softly.
"Well, I'm not in a hurry." Because there were people watching from upstairs, it was impossible for the two of them to do anything intimate. Liu Handong drove away, and Ma Ling went upstairs sadly, without eating, and went back to the room to lie down.
…
Liu Handong returned to the rental house, changed out of the borrowed clothes, and put on his own rags. When he sent the clothes down, Huo Ying asked him gossiping about how the meeting was today. Liu Handong smiled self-deprecatingly: "Let's go."
People came out."
"No way. Brother Dong is so handsome and handsome, loved by everyone, how can he be so handsome that he can make people show off? It must be the wrong way, hahaha." Huo Ying smiled heartlessly.
He said, seeing Liu Handong's lonely expression, he stopped smiling and said, "It can't be true, Sister Ling didn't convince her parents."
Liu Handong nodded: "You think I have a bad temper and get into trouble all day long. That's right. I should change my temper."
Huo Ying said: "They are all excuses. The one who likes you is that you hate evil as much as justice. The one who doesn't like you is that you have a bad temper and get into trouble all day long. In the final analysis, your overall score is not high enough. If you have a city level
A big house of 100 square meters, a job as a civil servant, even if you go to the streets to fight every day, you will still be pleasing to the eye."
Liu Handong thought that this was correct. His family situation was not good, he had no education, and no job. Even if he became a police officer on a hiring basis, he could deceive ordinary mothers-in-law and father-in-law. But Ma Guoqing was a policeman himself and knew the secrets behind the glory of this profession.
It's difficult and dangerous, so this career can't give you any extra points. You have to calculate it, and the overall score really can't be high."
He didn't have a meal tonight and was in a bad mood. Liu Handong waited for Huo Lei to come back and invited him out for a barbecue. He drank a pound of white wine and fell asleep when he came back. The next day he was full of energy again.
Ma Ling didn't take it seriously. She got off work very early the next afternoon and came to see Liu Handong on her motorcycle. When she came in, she asked, "Were you pessimistic and world-weary when you went back yesterday, looking for life and death, roaring and mourning like Ma Jingtao?"
Liu Handong replied nonchalantly with one word: "Mao."
Ma Ling said with a smile: "You have no other advantages than being thick-skinned and persevering. I thought about it all night last night. My parents are also good for me. And you have really done a lot during this time. You fight and kill all day long."
Yes, no one is afraid after seeing you. After a while, when you put on the police uniform and your job becomes stable, the situation will be different."
After saying this, Liu Handong suddenly became enlightened and wanted to treat Ma Ling to dinner.
"Okay, let's go eat at Pizza Hut. Don't drive. There's a lot of traffic jams in the city. Let's go by motorcycle." Ma Ling said.
The two rode their motorcycles to the city, spent a dollar to mail the bike, and went shopping together. Central Street was full of high-end shopping malls. The most exclusive was the newly opened Plaza 66, which was full of international first-tier brands and had the best location at the door.
The Louis Vuitton store was crowded with people from Omi's upper class shopping.
Ma Ling and Liu Handong walked into the LV store. They saw that the salespersons were all wearing black skirts, with a little bit of makeup, and they had a good temperament and a pleasant smile. The goods in the store were all expensive. Ma Ling was speechless when he saw it.
Liu Handong came out and said, "My dear, an artificial leather wallet costs several thousand, and the pattern is so ugly. I really don't know what these rich women think."
Liu Handong said: "All the old women who pick up rags are carrying LV bags. This stuff is already in the streets. We don't want it for free."
Continuing to wander around Plaza 66, they could not afford to buy anything in every store, so they could only look around and soak up the atmosphere of the upper class. After walking around for a while, Ma Ling said: "Tsk, at least let's take a look now.
I took advantage of two hundred yuan."
"Where did you get the advantage?" Liu Handong was puzzled.
"Clothes costing tens of thousands of dollars are worth at least 10 cents if you look at them, and at least 50 cents if you touch them." Ma Ling smiled slyly.
"Then if you try it on, it won't cost you five yuan." Liu Handong agreed in a serious tone.
The two of them laughed unscrupulously, ran, and left Plaza 66 in the eyes of everyone.
There are many private clothing stores on a nearby street, where you can find high-quality and low-priced goods. Liu Handong saw a brown-red leather jacket in the window of a very stylish store. It had a simple shape and high-quality leather. He couldn't help but stop and look at it.
.
"Try it if you like it. I've got the card." Ma Ling encouraged.
Liu Handong entered the store and asked to try it on. The boss took it off the mannequin and handed it to him, saying, "You know you know the goods at first glance. This is a replica A2 horse leather jacket from Japan's FEW, and those Cockpit, **IREX, and Alpha are not there."
On a horizontal line, touch this leather. It is authentic horsehide. It is thick and soft and can definitely block the wind. It is most suitable for riding a motorcycle. Wearing a shirt under it in winter will not make you cold at all. Look at the collar, look at the stitching.
The sutures are all wax-impregnated.”
The upper body of the leather jacket seemed to be tailor-made. He could move his arms freely, but the waist was too short and only covered the belt buckle. Looking at himself in the mirror, Liu Handong was very satisfied.
Ma Ling also thought it was suitable, so he asked the boss: "How much does it cost?"
"This is the only one in our shop. It's the treasure of the shop. I think it's destined to be yours, so I'll give it fifteen thousand," the boss said.
Liu Handong took off his leather jacket: "Let's take a look."
The two of them ran out of the small clothing store and said angrily: "It's 15,000 yuan, why didn't he grab it?"
"But the clothes are really good. Your figure looks good in them." Ma Ling was a little reluctant and took Liu Handong to Ma Qi's shop. As soon as he told her the name of the shop, Ma Qi immediately called and asked if he was doing business on the street.
As everyone knows, the shop owner told Ma Qi that the purchase price was more than 10,000 yuan, so it couldn't be cheaper.
"Forget it, it's not necessary to buy it. Come on, let's go eat." Ma Ling said.
While walking on the road, Liu Handong asked Ma Ling and Ma Qi if they were biological sisters. The two girls burst out laughing: "You think people with the surname Ma are the same family. We met when we were in school."
It turns out that Ma Ling, like brother and sister Huo Lei and Huo Ying, is also a student of the Transportation Vocational and Technical College, but he is two years ahead of Huo Lei, while Ma Qi is a student of the nursing school. The two schools are not far apart, and they both like it.
People who go out to play, play billiards, go to Internet cafes, dance at discos, etc., get to know each other as soon as they go back and forth, and even fight side by side, so they feel like sisters.
The three of them were eating spicy hotpot in a small restaurant in the back alley of Hang Lung Building. Neon signs were flashing outside, people were frying and frying in the alley, and shouts of soliciting customers came and went. While they were eating, Liu Handong's cell phone rang. It was his mother calling.
He was told that he had been discharged from the hospital and his injuries were fine. The stitches would be removed next week and he would go to the provincial capital to see his son.
"Oops, my mother is coming next week and she will probably meet her in-laws. What should I do?" Liu Handong hung up the phone.
Just now, Ma Ling had told the embarrassing story of Liu Handong coming to visit and being scolded by his parents. Ma Qi laughed aloud with schadenfreude, and then said: "Lingsha, find a few people to pretend to be Sister Ling's parents and fool them first."
