Zhang Yu didn't know whether the sun came out from the west, but it was true that the sky changed when the Australians came. Zhang Yu is literate and has read a few more Australian magazines. His social sophistication is better than that of his father, an honest and honest walnut pastry shop owner. I have a little understanding of Australian ways.
"Dad, just go to the meeting," Zhang Yu said to his father. "You should respond to what the leader says. If you are asked to go up and speak, you should tell the truth - they are all good words anyway."
"This, this is easy, but what if the chief wants to apportion...I heard from Boss Niu on Qian Street that the government always invites businessmen to meetings for the sake of money."
"If there is a share, just respond," Zhang Yu said. "If the sky falls, the big households will bear it. How many coppers do we have? There is no need to worry about the big households. You are anxious, they are more anxious than you."
Although his father didn't quite understand, he still nodded: Zhang Yu had been reading "Kun Shu" and being proficient in "Kun Xue", and he obviously knew more about the new "Kun people" than he did.
It was already 9pm when Li Ziyu returned home. She had dinner in the police station cafeteria - as usual, she had one meal after working overtime.
He has been working overtime these days, and his mission is to follow a large team of people to arrest people. It is said that all those arrested were tooth dealers from tooth shops. Li Ziyu didn't know much about Yahang - he only knew that these people were "evil" people. First, ■That’s right.
The arrest work is also very simple. A newcomer like him just sets up a cordon on the road and does not allow anyone to pass by. I watched the police officers who came from high places command people to hit the door with wooden pillars, and then more than a dozen people rushed in with a roar, waving their batons, shouting, "Police, kneel down! Hold your heads with your hands." He felt fresh just looking at it - everything this Australian did was really new, even arresting people was fresh.
He worked for two days in a row and lost count of how many families he arrested. In addition to setting up a cordon, he also rushed through several houses - of course he was at the back, holding a stick and howling, but in fact it was just to build momentum.
Most of those arrested were wealthy people. Li Ziyu knew that under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, everyone they participated in the arrest operation in the past few days, no matter how big or small, would make a small fortune: in addition to dividing the money according to the official position, when they rushed in to get people, everyone showed their special skills and could make a fortune. Got a lot of good stuff.
However, no one under the Australians dared to make any mistakes, let alone fish in troubled waters. He didn't even dare to take a small piece of silver that a concubine secretly stuffed into his waist to ask him to "take care of me", and gave it directly to the captain to return. go back. Later he discovered that everyone handed over quite a lot of things.
After handing it over, Li Ziyu still felt quite distressed - this piece of silver was at least four or five dollars. The white money touches people's hearts. Li Ziyu is naturally not exempt from vulgarity.
But it’s not okay not to hand it in, because every day at the summary meeting before get off work, the old naturalized police officers from Lingao will engage in a "criticism and self-criticism" activity. Not only does everyone have to mention the shortcomings in their work today, but also Point out other people's shortcomings and mistakes. It doesn't matter whether it's downplaying or evading the important, it all has to be informed - if you can't tell, don't get off work - this kind of activity is really not easy for Li Ziyu and the vast number of local naturalized people who are new to the police.
Accepting bribes has always been "normal income" for officials. The Senate must curb grassroots corruption to the greatest extent. In addition to "strict control", it means that grassroots cadres must not be allowed to "clump" among themselves. At the same time, try to create an atmosphere in which "the Senate knows everything."
In order to make up for this regret and loss, he had a hearty meal in the cafeteria. I'm looking forward to seeing if I can have breakfast for tomorrow - I have the evening shift tomorrow and won't go to work until the afternoon. You have to prepare breakfast and lunch by yourself.
The police station provides two meals, which saves the family a lot of money. Coupled with the eight buckets of rice he receives every month, the person who used to be the "basic earner" in the family is now the "backbone" who can support the family. .
"Eight buckets of rice can feed a family of four. The police station canteen also provides two extra working meals. I don't know where the Australians got the gold and silver to spend so extravagantly..." Li Ziyu took off his leggings. He muttered, "This outfit is so impressive. Whose bastard came up with these leggings? They are too difficult to take off!"
Complaints are complaints. Li Ziyu, who was originally not used to Australian style uniforms, likes this police uniform more and more. As soon as he puts it on, he naturally straightens his chest and raises his head, and even walks with a gust of energy. On the other hand, she used to be wandering around in a long gown, but now Li Ziyu seems to be a completely new person.
"Yu'er is back? Come and soak your feet." When Li Ziyu's mother heard that her son had returned from work, she quickly poured the hot water from the newly purchased Australian thermos into a wooden bucket and prepared it. Ever since Li Ziyu became a police officer and started going out on patrol, she has developed the habit of soaking her feet in hot water after returning home. The warm hot water can just relieve the fatigue of her feet after walking during the day. It also eliminates the smell of feet that have been covered all day. You must know that this patrolman has been nicknamed "Stinky Foot Patrol" in the market just a few days after he took to the streets.
As soon as the leather-soled shoes with iron soles were taken off, a stench filled the whole house. Li Ziyu's mother covered her nose and carried the shoes to the yard, stuffing small quicklime paper packets inside. Only one pair of these shoes were released in total, and it is said that they will have to wait until next year before they are released again.
"No wonder Australians attach so much importance to running in their selection exams. I have walked more roads in Guangzhou in the past few months than I have in the past few years!" Li Ziyu complained bitterly to her mother.
"Do you think eight buckets of rice is so easy to get? Besides, if you go out every day and walk for a month, you can get eight buckets of rice. Others can't go there even if they want to."
"Yes, we have thousands of people taking the police exam this time," Li Ziyu couldn't help but feel proud when talking about becoming a police officer, "But my job is not as easy as my mother said. , we not only catch thieves but also take care of a bunch of messy things. What kind of New Life Movement is the leader carrying out? This month is National Hygiene Month again. It is up to us to catch people littering the streets and urinating in public. Don’t mention how tired we are... ...By the way, Mom, when you and Dad go out on the street, be sure not to litter, otherwise I will lose face if you get caught."
"The 'bureau' you are talking about means the squad room, right?...Don't worry, your father has been working as an errand for the government. Can Wang Farulu not understand this? Your parents will not embarrass you." Li Zi Yu's mother said with a smile on her face, and then she stopped her smile and asked Li Ziyu seriously: "Yu'er, can you have any future as a police officer?"
"Mother...haven't I told you many times? Australians are all officials. If you want to be a high official, you have to start from a small job. That is to say, the hundreds of people in the first department are said to be for the future. Prepared as a cadre... Oh, by the way, this cadre is an Australian official."
"The more I hear this stuff from the Australians, the more confused I get. I, a woman, can't understand it." Li Ziyu's mother gently shook her head and said, "Yu'er, I don't think this high official can be taken for granted. Don't bet it, just in case...if the Ming army comes back, the soldiers and generals will be saved by surrendering, but the high officials will not be able to escape and lose their heads."
Since the uncle's family was killed by water bandits on the Xijiang River, Li Ziyu's mother is now most worried about the safety of her family. Being a high official in these troubled times is obviously not as important as saving her own life.
"My child, I have my own sense of responsibility...Mom, you can no longer call me an officer or a military officer. You have to call me the Ming Army." Seeing his mother worried, Li Ziyu quickly comforted her, and he didn't expect the Ming Army to be able to survive in a few years. Not being able to call back to Guangzhou raised a big question mark in my heart.
"Mom, you can save it... Yu'er, since you have found a job in the Australian government, my mother and father have also discussed that we should get you a family... Now that you are an official, you can't even accept the other party's conditions. Too bad... Do you have a girl from Shuanghua Lane who you like? Ask Matchmaker Wang to talk to her... Matchmaker Wang can talk to her, and she has negotiated more than a dozen marriages. You know Li Quanfu from Shuanghua Lane, he lives in his family We negotiated such poor conditions..." When it comes to the marriage of her children, Chinese mothers from any dynasty can talk about it for a long time.
"Mom... let's talk about this later. Is Agui back?" Li Ziyu quickly changed the subject. It's not that he doesn't want to get married, it's just that he feels that he is just a "stinky patrol" now, and his level is a bit low. It's best to discuss it after you get a higher promotion - you can marry a girl with a higher family status.
Agui's name is Zhao Gui, he was his partner during patrol and he was also a new police officer. Zhao Gui was originally a bachelor who worked part-time, without a family or job. Now he rents a lower room in Li Ziyu's house.
"He came back early and helped sweep the yard. He also carried water." Li Ziyu's mother sighed, "I think he is quite nice, but his brain is not working well. I'm afraid he can't help you. The key is. You'd better be smarter when it comes to exams. I thought that kid Zeng Juan was pretty good, but he didn't pass the exam!"
"It's not necessarily a bad thing if you didn't pass the exam." Li Ziyu wiped her feet. "I heard from the chief that more cadres will be recruited in the future. He has a quiet and quiet temperament, so he may not be suitable to be a police officer."
Speaking of Zeng Juan, he remembered that he and Zeng Juan had patted their chests to "protect his nephew". Now, let alone venting his anger, Zeng Juan had never met him once. He didn't know what he was thinking - Li Zi Jade is now more interested in several friends than before - I have to go and see him on the rest day this month.
His mother wanted to say a few more words about his marriage, but Li Ziyu said that she was very tired and had to go to bed tomorrow because she had to go to work, so she hurriedly slipped over. (To be continued.)
