Soon the time came to November 1955.
"Director, the ones from above are here to deliver new police uniforms." Xiao Zhang walked into the office and said.
"Really? I didn't expect it to happen so soon. It's only been less than a month since the notification." Luo Xingchen asked.
"Well, about 20 days."
"Let's go and take a look. This is our first official police uniform."
After the two went downstairs, comrades from the bureau were moving boxes from the car.
"Hello Director Luo."
"Hello, Secretary Li, you came here specially to deliver it today." Luo Xingchen shook hands with Secretary Li.
"Yes, I was assigned to give you police uniforms. There are 600 sets in total, including 300 sets of summer clothes, 200 sets of women's police uniforms, and there are 100 sets of summer clothes."
"There are 300 police hats, including 200 men's large-brimmed hats, 100 women's beanie hats, 200 pairs of men's leather shoes, and 100 pairs of women's shoes."
Luo Xingchen took out a pure white police uniform top and dark blue pants from the box. He gestured at Xiao Zhang.
"That's right, you're wearing a new police uniform, not to mention it looks really good." Luo Xingchen nodded with satisfaction.
Soon all the police uniforms were removed from the car.
"Director, I've counted them, there's no problem."
"Okay, let's put it into storage first."
After Luo Xingchen signed for Secretary Li, Secretary Li took the people away.
After all the police uniforms were put into storage, Luo Xingchen notified the leaders of each department to receive new police uniforms.
After receiving their police uniforms, everyone couldn't wait to change into them.
Luo Xingchen and Xiao Zhang also put on new police uniforms.
"Let's go, gather everyone and take a look."
Soon the bell in the house rang.
Everyone in the station hurried to the compound to gather. Even the people in the cafeteria had changed into new police uniforms and came to gather.
Luo Xingchen stood on the steps of the flagpole, facing everyone.
Xiao Zhang stood behind him.
"Everyone is here, stand at attention, take a moment, and speak."
"Everyone has also put on new police uniforms, and everyone has seen that our new police uniforms are white, so they may not be very good at stain resistance, so new regulations are here. Starting tomorrow, all personnel You must wear a clean police uniform with a police hat when you go to work. Of course, you don’t have to wear a police hat when you are in the office.”
"But whenever I leave the office, I have to put my hat on."
"Do you understand everything?"
"clear."
"Well, it seems that everyone likes the new police uniforms very much, so everyone should cherish our police uniforms more. Everyone knows that our country is working hard to develop. For our police uniforms, the country must have spent a lot of money. We have less financial and material resources, so everyone must be more worthy of the police uniform they wear."
"Serve the people."
"Serve the people."
Neat voices shouted over and over again.
Luo Xingchen nodded with satisfaction, raised his hand and pressed it down.
All police officers fell silent for a moment.
"Okay, I've finished what I need to say. Director Zhang, do you have anything to add?"
"There is no more director."
"Okay, let's disband."
After the disbandment, the police officers with patrol duties went out to patrol, while the other police officers without duties were in the office discussing new police uniforms.
After get off work in the afternoon, Luo Xingchen and others returned to the courtyard.
"You guys are wearing new police uniforms. They look really good." As soon as they entered the courtyard, the residents in the courtyard saw the new police uniforms on their bodies.
Sunday, April 3, 1956.
He Yuzhu dressed up carefully early in the morning and prepared to go out.
"Zhuzi, remember to go to Tiantian's house to buy more gifts."
"I know Aunt Bai, I'll leave first. Tiantian is probably already waiting." After He Yuzhu went out, he rode the bicycle he bought last month and happily went to find Sun Tiantian.
The two made an appointment to meet at the door of the branch.
Sure enough, Sun Tiantian was already waiting.
"How did you get here?"
"Isn't this time to tidy up yourself? If you don't get anxious, let's go." He Yuzhu replied.
The two came to the department store, He Yuzhu bought a lot of gifts, and the two rode to Sun Tiantian's house.
"I told you not to buy so much, but you just didn't listen." Sun Tiantian complained.
"It's okay. This is my first time visiting, so I must bring more gifts."
The two rode to the military compound. Sun Tiantian said hello to the guard at the door and took He Yuzhu into the military compound. After turning a few corners, the two came to the entrance of a courtyard.
"This is my house. Put the car in the yard and let's go. My mother has probably prepared the food."
He Yuzhu's nervous palms were sweating.
"This is the pillar, come in, come in, you kid, why are you bringing so many things when you come? Tiantian, don't stop me." Tiantian's mother complained.
"Auntie, don't blame her. I bought it myself. I definitely can't come empty-handed for the first time."
"Don't bring anything with you next time. Your uncle doesn't like doing these formal things. Come into the house quickly."
After He Yuzhu entered the house, Sun's father sat on the sofa and drank tea.
"Here, sit down." Father Sun glanced at what Mother Sun and He Yuzhu were carrying and frowned.
He Yuzhu said hello quickly and sat quietly opposite Sun's father like a primary school student.
"Pfft~"
"Dad, look, you scared him." Sun Tiantian couldn't help laughing as she sat next to her father and looked at He Yuzhu.
"You girl, if I don't be more serious, how can I scare him? Now you've completely exposed your secret."
So Sun’s dad stopped pretending.
"Your name is He Yuzhu, right? What are you capable of doing? You took away the girl I had raised for 20 years."
"My name is Uncle He Yuzhu. I really like Tiantian. I swear that I will be good to Tiantian." He Yuzhu explained hurriedly, for fear that Sun's father would not agree with the two of them.
"Okay, don't be nervous, I don't eat people."
"Since you two have talked about it yourself, and we are not the kind of rigid parents, as long as you are willing, your aunt and I have no objections."
"Don't worry, I'll be nice to Tiantian for a while. I live in the same courtyard as our director. If I don't treat Tiantian well, our director will skin me first."
"You're talking about Luo Xingchen, I feel relieved with this guy here."
"Hey, dad, you know our director, why haven't I heard you tell me about it?" Sun Tiantian asked curiously.
"Of course I know him. I went to the battlefield with him. This kid went to the battlefield as if he was risking his life. Later I was transferred and I never saw him again. Why do you think I found someone to send you to the Chengdong Branch? Well, that’s because I knew he was there, otherwise if you really thought your mother and I were willing to let you go to work in the Public Security Bureau, we would have put you in the army a long time ago."
"So that's it. Then does our director know that I am your daughter?"
"I don't know, I didn't find him, but if you go and talk to him, he will know who I am. I didn't expect that this guy actually helped you find a matchmaker. This really surprised me. It seems that I will have to do it another day. Go talk to him.”
