"My position and angle do not allow me to be too selfish. The starting point of everything is national security and stability. The most important thing about calling you here this time is not because your grandfather is missing, but who will replace him."
Things they work on.”
Mr. Xu coughed twice and wrapped the blanket tighter around him. He looked at me and Chujiu with a loving look on his face.
"Perhaps the work that should have been assigned to them will have to be taken over by you in the future. If you are willing to join the department, of course the department will also give you some useful help."
I interrupted Mr. Xu: "Mr. Xu, let's think about it first. I want to go into the mountain to have a look. The sooner the better!"
Mr. Xu glanced out the window. The night outside was hazy.
"There's no rush right now, people outside are still looking for you in the mountains. I'll ask Wan Li to take you there early tomorrow morning. It's rare to see you, so just chat with me, an old man, tonight."
Mr. Xu told us a lot about him and our master. He said that when he met our master for the first time, he thought that our master was a second-rate guy, a young man who was full of foul words and wanted to defraud him of money to drink.
At that time, Xu Laogang was just a soldier in the department. He had been exposed to the new era education since he was a child, and he did not believe in these feudal superstitions in his heart.
Until later, during a mission, at a life-threatening moment, our master seemed to fall from the sky and easily saved his life.
The master told Mr. Xu that you are a good boy, and you have a bright future, so you will definitely be able to feed yourself with big fish and meat.
Then every few years, when Mr. Xu encountered something that he couldn't handle, the master would always appear at the most critical moment. Later, the master would appear with the child Qin De. Later, when he met the master for the last time
, appeared again with Gila.
Mr. Xu knew that his master had entrusted the two disciples to him. Later, Mr. Xu became the head of the department, and Qin De and Ji La became his most capable assistants and relatives.
"Master, what kind of person is our master? My old man's old man just said that he is very powerful and there is nothing he can't do."
Chujiu gnawed on the dried meat, leaned on the chair, swayed her feet, and asked Mr. Xu with an obsessed look.
"That's pretty much what you said. It seems like there's really nothing he can't do. I don't know how to describe him, but he's just a wonderful person."
After Mr. Xu finished speaking, he stood up and walked to the bedside, and took out two small books with red covers from his bag.
"Your grandfather used this kind of work permit!"
I took the small book handed to me by Mr. Xu and opened the cover. What caught my eye was the eye-catching name in the first line: Qin Feng.
You can tell by looking at Chujiu's expression that his name is on the book.
"This is a supernumerary certificate, the same as the one your grandfather held. Just take it, sometimes there will be some unexpected surprises."
I know that at this time there is no reason to refuse Mr. Xu.
"Surprise? I think it's more of a shock! He was actually plotted against by his master. This is what our disciples did. It's the first time we meet our master, so forget it without a gift, and..."
I deliberately protracted my words and waited for Mr. Xu's next words. Since there is no choice, it is always right to take advantage of it.
Mr. Xu stretched out his hand and patted me gently on the head and said with a smile.
"Little slippery man, he is just like your grandfather. When he first met me, he deceived me into taking my pocket watch. Ji La's family is good, they are very honest."
"Well, I haven't prepared any gifts. But I promise each of you a small condition. As long as it is within my ability, I will try my best to satisfy it."
Chujiu jumped down from his seat excitedly and squatted in front of Mr. Xu: "Master, are you telling the truth?"
"It's absolutely true!" Mr. Xu smiled and nodded.
"Then I want to drive, is that okay?" Chujiu squatted in front of Mr. Xu and said with a serious face. Perhaps in his eyes, driving is a very difficult thing.
"That's it?" Mr. Xu suddenly laughed and coughed, as if he had heard something particularly funny. He looked at Chu Jiu with a speechless, funny and angry look.
"Master, this is it, haha, is it difficult?"
Mr. Xu did not immediately agree to Chujiu, but turned around and asked me with a smile: "What about you?"
This question stopped me. I thought about it for a long time. I didn't know where to use this opportunity. If I could get a commitment from a big man in such a position, maybe it could have unexpected effects at a critical moment. I decided to keep this opportunity for now.
"Mr. Xu, I haven't decided yet. Is it okay to keep it for now?"
Mr. Xu slapped me on the head, and I ducked sideways.
"You little naughty boy, I think of your grandfather when I see you. Then I'll keep it for you, but you have to bring it up before I die."
Chujiu was still waiting expectantly for Mr. Xu's reply, as if he wanted to see his master embarrass himself.
Mr. Xu called Wan Li in and asked Wan Li to inform someone to go to the local Vehicle Administration Bureau to get two driver's licenses, and also asked Wan Li to teach us how to drive when he was free.
Chujiu sat down on the ground and said that Deng Deyou had told him that this driver's license would cost more than 10,000 yuan, and he would have to study for two years and take a test.
There was obvious disdain in Mr. Xu's smile, and he jokingly told Chujiu that his chance had run out and he would not regret it in the future. Chujiu said "hum" and said that he would definitely not regret it.
Mr. Xu patted Chujiu on the head and said, take the notebook in your hand and go to any public security department. As long as the other party is high enough, even if you ask him for a police car, he will probably give it to you immediately.
Chujiu's face immediately drooped, and Mr. Xu laughed loudly, saying that he hadn't felt so warm in years.
Mr. Xu briefly explained to us the work content of the department. Generally, there is nothing that needs to be handled by us. Unless it is something that cannot be solved by local agencies, the reported matter, and the matter that may cause social panic, will be passed through the department.
solve.
The areas that my grandfather and Grandpa Chujiu mainly deal with are the Yellow River Basin and Yunnan-Guizhou-Sichuan area. Other staff are handling matters in other places.
During the period of tasks involving the department, food and accommodation can be reimbursed. In addition to the maximum local support, there will also be some corresponding subsidies.
We chatted for a long time, and Wan Li came in several times to remind Mr. Xu that it was time to rest. The last time Wan Li came in, Mr. Xu reluctantly asked Wan Li to take us to rest, remembering to bring us an extra quilt.
The room where we rested was in the room next to Mr. Xu, and Wan Li slept in the same room.
"Wanli Cauldron, is this red book really so powerful?"
Chujiu played with the small notebook with a red five-pointed star cover in his hand and asked.
"This is an ordinary notebook. What is extraordinary is the information hidden on it. Carefully touch the lower right corner with your hand."
