Chapter 2 The dream is to be a policeman
Shaodong's family is in the shanty town of Dongjiao, which is more than ten kilometers. Shaodong didn't take a taxi, and he was thinking about his thoughts while walking.
Thinking about it carefully, the girl looked really good just now. Maybe she left a phone number... But the next moment, Shao Dong shook his head and sighed.
When he was five years old, his father died of serious illness. His mother led his three-year-old brother Shao Xiaobei to work in the fields. He was authentic and faced the loess and his back was facing the sky. Every night, he waited for his brothers to fall asleep and secretly did some needlework to earn some money for Shaodong to study.
Due to his poor family, Xiaobei dropped out of school in junior high school and worked some labor on the construction site to subsidize his family. After graduating from Shaodong, he applied to the frontier armed police. Due to his good training results, he was admitted to the mobile squadron. In the third year, he became a non-commissioned officer squad leader. Five years of military training made Shaodong strong will and calm personality.
At this time, when you retire from the army and return home, the first task is to change the status quo and make your mother and younger brother live better, rather than having a relationship. Thinking of your mother and younger brother, Shaodong smiled.
When passing by a street stall selling clothes, Shaodong spent seven yuan to buy a hat and put it on, for fear that when his relatives would feel sad when they saw him being hurt.
When I arrived at the Dongjiao shanty town, it still looked like it was five years ago. It was messy garbage and a simple house. Shaodong walked to his door and patted the door: "Mom, Xiaobei, I'm back!"
After a while, a teenager and a middle-aged woman walked out of the house. The teenager was strong and dark in the winter training uniform sent by his brother home. He looked like he had just finished his work. The appearance of the middle-aged woman was very sad. The years of overwork made the woman in her forties look like an old lady in her fifties and sixties, with wrinkles on her face, rough skin, and calluses on her hands.
"Oh, it's Dongzi! You're back, let mom see if it's changed?" Mother said in a trembling voice, stretching out her hands to touch Shao Dong's face. "Why didn't you say it earlier and let Xiaobei pick you up." Mother said.
Shao Dong threw away the military backpack on his back and shouted "Mom!" and hugged his mother tightly.
"Brother!" Xiaobei was not good at speaking and giggled foolishly!
"Get into the house, talk in the house!" The mother grabbed Shao Dong's hand and walked into the house. Xiaobei picked up his brother's luggage and followed behind him with a chuckle.
Although the house is not big, it is cleaned neatly and the dilapidated furniture is clean. The only valuable thing in the house is a second-hand color TV, which was bought from the county town when Shaodong visited his relatives last year. Shaodong felt very sad when he saw it.
Shaodong's mother saw the bandage exposed under Shaodong's hat and asked with concern: "Dongzi, what's wrong with your head? Are you injured?"
"It's okay, it's okay. I touched it on the road and it was a little broken." Shao Dong covered it up.
"Why is this child so careless?" Shao Dong's mother asked.
Shaodong hurriedly changed the topic: "Xiaobei, why don't you buy things for the money I sent me! Where did I ask you to buy the electric car for my mother?"
"Brother! Mom doesn't let you buy it, you have all your money. Mom said she would keep it for you to build a house and get married!" Xiao Bei replied.
"Mom! I won't marry a wife, I want you to live a better life if I give you my salary!" Shao Dong's eyes turned red.
"Silly kid, mom has hands and feet, and she has enough money to spend. It's good for me to ride a bicycle. Don't waste money." The mother said with a smile.
"Mom! I'll do my best. Xiaobei and I will definitely let you live a good life. If you should spend money, don't let yourself be wronged!" Shao Dong said with red eyes.
"You two brothers have a promising future and can support themselves, so mom is satisfied! Look at you, be happier when you go home, mom will cook for you!" Mom turned around and wiped her tears.
When my mother went to cook, Shaodong and Shao Xiaobei sat and chatted in the house. I haven't seen each other for a few years, Xiaobei is still not good at speaking. Shaodong asked Xiaobei and answered him. Shaodong learned from his younger brother that Xiaobei followed his cousin to do miscellaneous work on the construction site in the county town, and did whatever he asked him to do. He never complained about hard work and was able to get a salary of about 2,000 yuan a month. Xiaobei felt very satisfied.
"Let's work hard together to support this family!" Shao Dong said while patting Xiaobei's shoulder!
"Hehe! OK brother!" Xiaobei obeyed his brother's advice.
After chatting for a while, the food was ready. The three of them sat down to have a meal. Shaodong talked about the army's experience and future plans, and the whole family was having a happy time.
The next morning, Shaodong got up at five o'clock to practice in the morning. The army developed a habit. He went out and ran ten kilometers. He had a head injury. On the way back, he bought a roll of gauze. After getting home, he made a set of "Enemy-capturing punches" in the yard. He sweated on his forehead and felt comfortable all over. He secretly wiped his wounds and changed his gauze and put on a hat.
My mother prepared breakfast early, and the whole family finished eating. Xiaobei went to work, and Shaodong wanted to go to the county resettlement office to report.
Shaodong took his retirement certificate to the resettlement office to report, handled a series of procedures, reported for the reserve service at the armed forces department, returned to the local police station to settle down, etc. According to the national regulations, the non-commissioned officers gave him a job to resettlement, and the staff's reply was to go back and wait for a notice.
After completing the settlement procedures, Shaodong called his comrade-in-arms - Wang Bo.
Wang Bo is a comrade-in-arms in Shaodong. The two of them are the same age and join the army from G County. They have a good relationship with each other in the army.
Wang Bo lives in the county town, his parents are both working-class, and his life is considered to be well-off.
However, Wang Bo was demobilized after only two years of military service. Because Wang Bo's family conditions were OK and he was unwilling to suffer in the army. Through his relationship, his family arranged a decent job for Wang Bo, which was to be a "sponsor" police officer in the police station.
Because Shaodong has always had a wish to be a mighty people's policeman, I want to meet Wang Bo. First, I will gather with my comrades, and second, I will ask Wang Bo for the specific conditions and requirements for being a policeman.
Wang Bo was also very happy to receive a call from Shaodong. He heard that Shaodong had returned home after being demobilized and was about to meet, so the two made an appointment to meet in a relatively low-priced teahouse in the county town.
When Wang Bo arrived, Shaodong had already ordered a pot of "Tieguanyin". This pot of tea was the cheapest, and it cost 30 yuan. Shaodong sighed inwardly.
When Wang Bo saw Shaodong, his eyes lit up. The two of them hugged each other with smiles and patted each other's backs.
Shao Dong looked at Wang Bo carefully. He hadn't seen him for a few years. Wang Bo is still so fat, his expression seemed to be smiling at all times. His small eyes and his uniform were wearing the "Associate Police Officer" and he felt very funny.
After the two of them greeted each other, Shao Dong looked carefully at Wang Bo's uniform, and the positions of the pockets on both sides of the clothes were printed with "Assistant Police 0××".
"What's going on? Let's talk about it in detail?" Shao Dong was very concerned about the police.
"I am actually a security guard, who assists the police, and is also called a joint defense team member. But I work in the police station, so it sounds nicer to say it out. Hehe!" Wang Bo said with a smile.
"Then what job do you usually do? Why don't you find a way to be a real policeman?" Shao Dong asked seriously.
"On ordinary cases, catching gambling, and combating pornography and illegal activities are all led by formal police. We are only responsible for assisting, and we do not have the power to enforce the law. To put it bluntly, we are the assistants of the police. Our police station lacks police force, so we rely on our auxiliary police to support it."
Wang Bo paused, "You ask these, do you want to do this? I remember! You said that your dream is to be a people's policeman."
"Yes, I just want to be a people's policeman who truly punishes evil and fights crimes!" Shao Dong said firmly.
"This... I need to take the exam, and now it is called a must-have exam every time I enter, which means that if you want to be a policeman, you must take the civil service exam! I take the exam every year, but I am a little lazy when I review... so I haven't been shortlisted once.
"I have heard of this. Director Wu from the railway station police station also gave me a set of study materials." Shao Dong said.
"You know Lao Wu, he is my old senior!" Wang Bo said.
"It's my first time in contact, but Director Wu is very good..." said Shao Dong.
"You'd better tell me how to take the exam? Let's supervise each other and study together." Shao Dong asked carefully.
"Every time our police station takes the exam, we encourage the assistant police officers to participate. There is a chance! I have signed up. Our county is about to recruit police officers. Now there is still half a month before the exam. Register online, you are like this..."
"I understand, I'll help me sign up later. I've learned basic public security knowledge in the army. Let's work hard together. Can you ask for leave? Let's study together and have a companion, and it's not boring anymore." Shao Dong said.
"Reliable. You know my brain power. My grades were not good when I was in school. I have been taking the exam for three years and I haven't been shortlisted. I'm a little unconfident." Wang Bo said.
"I'll analyze it for you. Our exam only has three subjects, "Basic Knowledge of Public Security", "Administrative Professional Ability Test" and "Article Ethics". I'll draw out the key points of the three books for you. You can recite them according to the key points, understand them while memorizing them. I'll tell you in detail at that time." Shao Dong said.
"It's great, Brother Dong, as long as you are willing to help me, I feel that I have hope this time." Wang Bo said.
"You ask for leave. I'll make a plan after all, let's compete with each other." Shao Dong said
"Okay." Wang Bo nodded heavily.
Shao Dong habitually raised his fist and said, "Unity, victory."
Wang Bo was delayed for a few seconds, raised his fist and touched Shao Dong: "Unity, victory!"
Wang Bo said excitedly: "Your action makes me feel like I'm back in the army, I miss you very much."
Shao Dong said: "People always need to make progress, and the future will be long. We work hard to get a wonderful life. What's wrong with it?"
"I am quite moved by what I talked about today. I have been back from the army for three years and have been in a daze for three years. I have never thought about the future. But after hearing what you said, I feel that a great youth cannot live like this. Our buddies must also catch up." Wang Bo said.
"Yes, it's right for you to think so. You can arrange your business as soon as possible and contact me. Let's complete the task together." Shao Dong said.
When Shaodong returned home in the afternoon, he found the study materials given by Director Wu, took a brief look at the content, and formulated a study plan for the time of the exam, and prepared to study hard.
During this period, I received two calls from Yao Xue to invite Shaodong to dinner, but they were rejected by Shaodong on the grounds of studying. Shaodong told Yao Xue that he had finished his work these days.
