Lu Wuchuan's expression was a bit exciting, and Duan Mo tried his best to hold back his laughter. This guy was really getting more and more promising, and he wouldn't be happy to be called uncle by such a young child.
"What sister? That's your sister-in-law." The aunt picked up the little girl and said, "Don't stand still, hurry into the house."
There was a kang in the room and it was warm. Lu Wuchuan thought the kang was too hot and sat on a chair by the window.
The aunt hugged the little girl and said to Duanmo: "This is Jiaojiao from your second brother's family. The child is the third child from your eldest brother's family. You saw him when he was a child."
"Well, he was not as big as Jiaojiao at that time." Duanmo said with a smile.
Shengzi walked up to Lu Wuchuan and asked with a raised face: "Uncle, are you a football player?"
Lu Wuchuan didn't seem to like to talk to him, and only said two words, "No."
"Uncle is a policeman just like your sister-in-law." The uncle rubbed his son's head and said, "Take my sister up to that room to play, and the adults can talk for a while."
Upon hearing that Lu Wuchuan was a policeman, Shengzi's eyes changed when he looked at him, and he reluctantly moved to the kang. He took Jiaojiao off the kang and went to the back room.
After chatting for a while, Duanmo and Lu Wuchuan were about to leave. The old couple gave them a bag of peanuts to take back.
Shengzi ran out of the back room: "Uncle, where are you going?"
Jiaojiao held the corner of his clothes and said in a sweet voice: "Brother is so stupid, uncle and sister-in-law are going to catch the bad guys."
Shengzi bulged his mouth and tried to pull the hem of the clothes away from her hands, but Jiaojiao refused to let go, calling for her brother again and again, as if she was afraid that he would throw her off.
Duanmo was amused by the brother and sister. He knelt down and put his hand on his son's shoulders: "My sister-in-law and uncle still have something to do. I'll see you next time."
"Then next time, uncle, can you tell me a story about catching bad guys?" Shengzi looked at Lu Wuchuan with his eyes full of expectation.
"Okay, uncle promises you." Lu Wuchuan rubbed the top of his head twice.
"..." Duanmo, who was ignored, looked at Shengzi's shining eyes and sighed in his heart. They were both police officers, so why was there such a big difference?
Lu Wuchuan did not return the same way, but turned into a fork in the road because Duan Mo said he wanted to take him to see a different sea.
The car stopped at the end of the path, and there were rugged rocks ahead.
Standing on the edge of the protruding cliff, Lu Wuchuan was shocked by the scenery in front of him. He had been to many seasides at home and abroad, but this was the first time he saw the sea in winter.
It is said to be a cliff, but in fact it is only seven or eight meters high. The cliff curves toward the sea, and underneath is a beach covered with residual snow and frost. There are many reefs on this coast, black, with different shapes, extending into the distance.
The waves push ice floes of all sizes towards the shore, hit the rocks, stir up a series of waves, carry the ice back, and then re-acquire strength to rush back again, repeating this process tirelessly.
The sea surface in the distance is sparkling, the afternoon sun shines on it, and the small golden light spots flicker and appear, glowing with warmth. It is difficult to imagine that they are the source of the raging waves.
Ice floes, black reefs, half-meter-high waves, quiet and peaceful sea, movement and stillness, hardness and softness, coldness and warmth, originally contradictory things appear in the same picture, creating a strange beauty.
"When the tide rises, the sea will flood the entire coast, but it will never come up. No matter how big the waves are, they will only stop at your feet."
Lu Wuchuan looked sideways: "You used to come here often?"
"Well," Duanmo nodded, "My grandpa brought me here when I was a child, and I brought me here when I grew up. Grandpa said that if you throw your worries into the sea, the sea will only take them away, but not send them back. In this way, you will never have to worry about it again."
Tired of it."
The little girl's face was red and she wanted to squeeze it. A bell rang at the right time, interrupting Lu Wuchuan's reverie. He held Duanmo's wrist and motioned for her to get back into the car.
The heat that could be felt through the gloves made her feel a little uncomfortable. She wanted to retract her hand, but it was held tightly. It wasn't until she reached the side of the car that her hand finally let go.
The call lasted for more than ten minutes. Duan Mo didn't pay attention to it. He took out his mobile phone and looked through it casually.
After ending the call, Lu Wuchuan started the car: "It's time to thank the bureau, we are going to have new colleagues."
"The person has been chosen?" This news is not surprising. As early as the first meeting, it was said that two more people would come.
"I'll go through the selection process first, and then I'll make my choice later. And then I have to be willing to come, so it will take a few days to decide."
"When I was transferred here, why didn't anyone ask me if I was willing?"
After a few seconds of silence, Lu Wuchuan parked the car on the side of the road, cleared his throat, and asked loudly: "Then let me ask you now, are you willing to fight alongside me?"
His deep eyes were serious and solemn, as if he was waiting for a very important answer.
The atmosphere was too tense. Duanmo pursed his lips and said, "If I say I don't want to, is that okay?"
Lu Wuchuan felt a little suffocated in his chest and said decisively: "No! Once you get on this boat, stop thinking about it."
The man's face was so gloomy that it was almost dripping with tears. It was just a joke at all, but I didn't expect him to be so angry.
She poked the arm that was on the steering wheel: "Brother Lu, I'm teasing you."
"……"ignore.
"I just thought what you did just now was too funny. You were just joking."
"..." He turned to look out the window.
Duan Mo knew that it was her fault, so she transferred her here. Although Lu Wuchuan had a bit of a venomous tongue, overall he was very good to her.
In the past, the quarrels were not due to any principled issues, but what I said today is so hurtful. Well, correct your mistakes when you know they are wrong, and you must make others happy.
He softened his tone and continued to poke: "Brother Lu, I was wrong. Don't be angry, okay? Brother Lu~"
The ending sound was a little long, a bit like the sound of Jiaojiao holding the hem of a child's clothes and calling her brother. Lu Wuchuan felt that she must have poked his muscle, otherwise why did this half of his arm suddenly lose its energy?
The man finally turned his face back, his dark eyes narrowed slightly: "What did you call me?"
"Ah?" Duanmo reacted quickly. The title of Brother Lu was too intimate and could easily offend people. "I'm sorry, Brother Lu, I didn't mean it."
"Scream again."
"Brother Lu."
"The one before."
"Brother Lu?" Duanmo was a little unsure.
"Yeah." Lu Wuchuan responded and drove the car onto the motorway again.
What kind of divine operation is this?
Duanmo glanced at his face and continued to explain tentatively: "Actually, I quite like my current job. It is thrilling and gives me a sense of accomplishment. I also have a harmonious relationship with my colleagues. Although I feel a little tired sometimes, I am very fulfilling and very happy every day."
happy."
"Are you serious?" Lu Wuchuan glanced sideways at her.
Duan Mo nodded hurriedly and repeatedly said that he would work harder to do a good job.
