The heavens set sail from the courtyard

After Wang Gang returned home, he heard from Liu Shufang that Niu Dali and Yao Yuling had already moved out of the compound and their jobs were transferred. One went to the transportation department of the station to work as a coal shoveler, and the other went to the broadcasting room to do odd jobs. They might never be able to take a train again.

To be honest, when Wang Gang heard the news, he felt neither happy nor sad. He didn't feel happy nor sad.

Although he disliked Yao Yuling and Niu Dali, he did not regard them as his enemies. In other words, these two people were not worthy of being his enemies.

The fate of Yao Yuling and Niu Dali was caused by Liu Xuanhu, who just wanted them to move out of the compound.

Liu Xuanhu didn't have to spend much effort. After all, the two were just grassroots railway workers and lived in the staff dormitory, so it was normal to transfer them.

Yao Yuling and Niu Dali didn't even realize that someone was messing with them.

On the day they moved out of the compound, not many people went to see them off. Except for Wu Changgui's family and Lu Hongxing's family, who were closer to the two of them, the others were just ordinary neighbors, and their relationship was far from comparable to that of Wang Xin.

As the days passed, life in the compound returned to peace. Wang Gang became more and more at ease in the criminal police team. He used his expertise in painting to solve many cases. If he were not so young, Captain Chen would have wanted him to be in charge of the criminal investigation team.

In a unit like the Criminal Police Team, if you want to get promoted, ability alone is not enough, you must accumulate experience. Fortunately, Wang Gang is not in a hurry.

Ma Kui and Wang Sufang failed to adopt the abandoned baby in the end as Meng Qingshan got there first, and there was nothing they could do about it.

Afterwards, Wang Sufang thought about having another child and even went to Liu Shufang to take care of her body.

Although family planning was being promoted in Northeast China at that time, it had not yet become a regulation. It was not until 81 that family planning was officially confirmed. Therefore, if Wang Sufang wanted to have a second child, she only had the opportunity within these two years.

Ma Yan actually supports her mother having a second child. Her idea is very simple. After having a child, Ma Kui and Wang Sufang will definitely shift their focus to the child. At that time, no one will take care of her, and she will have time to date Wang Xin.

Ma Kui and Wang Sufang opposed Ma Yan and Wang Xin being together, but it had the opposite effect. Ma Yan became stubborn and insisted on dating Wang Xin, completely disregarding the past between the two families.

Wang Xin was hesitant at first, but when a man pursues a woman, it's easy for her to pursue him. Under Ma Yan's active offensive, Wang Xin quickly surrendered, and the two of them secretly started dating behind Ma Kui's back.

Ma Kui was out driving all day long and had no time to take care of his daughter. Wang Sufang was focused on preparing for pregnancy. Although she had some awareness, she really had no energy to take care of Ma Yan.

The two of them were together in secret for nearly a year, but they both knew their limits and didn't do anything out of the ordinary. The most they did was hug each other.

That day, the king had just got off work and returned home, and he happened to meet Ma Kui when he returned to the compound.

"Xiao Wang, are you free later? Come to my house for a drink." Ma Kui enthusiastically invited Wang Gang.

"Uncle Ma, I'll be there in a minute." Wang Gang did not refuse, because he knew that Ma Kui wanted to talk to him about something.

Captain Chen from the Criminal Police Team came to see him today and mentioned Ma Kui's job transfer.

That's right. Because of his outstanding work ability, Ma Kui was noticed by Captain Chen and was going to be recruited to the criminal police team. He also wanted Ma Kui and Wang Gang to form a team to support the criminal investigation team.

Wang Gang would certainly not object to this, as he and Ma Kui already had a good relationship.

Wang Gang went home first, parked his bicycle, and told Liu Shufang that he would not be home for dinner that night.

"When you go to Ma Kui's house, take this with you." Liu Shufang handed Wang Gang two prescriptions of Chinese medicine.

Wang Gang took the medicine and asked, "Who is sick?"

Liu Shufang said: "It's your Aunt Wang's pregnancy-preserving medicine."

Wang Gang raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Did they really get pregnant? Uncle Ma is great! He is still as skilled as ever."

"Alas, actually, with Wang Sufang's physical condition, she shouldn't have more children, but she is determined to give Ma Kui a son to make up for the regret. She is risking her life." Liu Shufang sighed.

"Does Uncle Ma know?" Wang Gang asked curiously: "With his personality, this shouldn't happen!"

"Sufang is hiding this from Ma Kui, don't let it slip." Liu Shufang reminded. Wang Gang frowned and said, "This is not a good idea. What if something happens to Aunt Wang? Uncle Ma will blame us. After all, this is their family affair, and we shouldn't get involved."

"Who said it wasn't true?" Liu Shufang sighed, "But Sufang begged me to keep it a secret, and it was hard for me to do it!"

Wang Gang took the medicine, shook his head and said, "I'll find a way to let Uncle Ma know Aunt Wang's physical condition. As for whether they want the child, let them decide for themselves."

Liu Shufang hesitated to speak, then after thinking for a while, she nodded in agreement.

Wang Gang came to the Ma family with medicine and found that not only the three members of the Ma family were there, but there were also two strangers at home, a man and a woman, who looked like father and daughter.

"Uncle Ma, we have guests at home! I'll come over to drink next time." Wang Gang said as he put down the pregnancy-preserving medicine.

"No! Let's drink together. I just want to introduce a friend to you." Ma Kui enthusiastically pulled Wang Gang and forced him to sit down.

"This is my old friend Peng Mingjie. We met on the train not long ago." Ma Kui pointed at the man.

"Hello, you must be the Wang Gang that Lao Ma often mentions! You are indeed a handsome man."

Peng Mingjie was well-spoken and had an official air about him. He looked like a small leader. The girl next to him was Peng Yongli, his daughter. She came to Ningyang to attend university this year and visited her old friend Ma Kui on the way.

Ma Kui and Peng Mingjie are life-long friends. They met in the labor camp back then. However, Peng Mingjie is not a prisoner. He is the captain of the labor camp. Later he was transferred to Harbin and became a small leader. At his current age, he may become a prison warden in the future.

Peng Mingjie lost his wife early in his life and raised his daughter Peng Yongli alone. His daughter also worked hard and was admitted to a university in Ningyang this year and is now a college student.

College students are still very popular these days. Ma Kui liked Peng Yongli the first time he saw her. Thinking of Wang Gang, he decided to act as a matchmaker for her.

"Yongli, you and Wang Gang are about the same age, so you can spend more time together in the future. Xiao Wang is very outstanding. He has not given up studying after graduating from the police academy. I heard that he will soon be recommended to go to university for training."

"Yeah!" Peng Yongli nodded shyly.

Peng Mingjie was also a very shrewd person, so he could see what his old friend was thinking. He observed Wang Gang carefully and was initially satisfied.

Wang Gang is good-looking, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a strong body, and a sunny vibe, which is very much to Peng Mingjie's liking.

"Xiao Wang, I heard that you have a talent for painting and have solved many strange cases?" Peng Mingjie asked Wang Gang, holding up the wine glass.

Ma Yan smiled and said, "Uncle Peng, Wang Gang is really good at drawing. Not only can he draw a person's appearance by describing it, he can also draw what a child will look like when he grows up."

"Really?" Peng Mingjie rolled his eyes and asked, "Xiao Wang, can you do me a small favor?"

Wang Gang smiled and said, "You are Uncle Ma's friend, which means you are my elder. I will definitely help you if I can."

Peng Mingjie glanced at his daughter and said, "Yongli lost her mother when she was young, and her mother didn't leave any photos. Can you help me draw a portrait of her mother?"

"Of course, no problem." Wang Gang said, "I can paint after dinner."

Peng Mingjie was so happy that he didn't even bother to drink. Ma Kui understood his old friend's feelings and asked Wang Gang to finish the painting first and then have dinner.

Of course Wang Gang didn't care. He went home to get his painting tools and asked Peng Mingjie to describe what his deceased wife looked like.

Looking at the face of his deceased wife gradually taking shape on the drawing paper, Peng Mingjie, who was in his forties, burst into tears.

Peng Yongli wasn't much better either, her eyes were red, and there was an inexplicable look in her eyes when she looked at Wang Gang.

It was just a picture, but Peng Mingjie and his daughter had a better impression of Wang Gang, and Ma Kui was very happy. (End of this chapter)
