Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 140 Family
"Hehe, I'm just happy for you because you've done something great, Brother Dacheng."

Ningning walked over and touched her little nephew's face, then handed the two things in her hand to his brother.

Unlike his sister who was making a fuss, Jin Zhihai looked at the certificate and medal with envy in his eyes.

Making achievements and establishing a career may be the dream of every man. For those engaged in the public security profession, making achievements is an ultimate goal and a stepping stone to a successful future.

The last time the Chen Guangyao case was cracked, if it hadn't implicated so many people and his leaders hadn't erased his contribution in order to protect him, he could have been awarded a third-class merit and fulfilled some of his wishes.

Now that he sees that his good brother has achieved merit before him and has even won a second-class award right off the bat, it would be strange if he wasn't envious.

But the compensation he received later was also good. It was not easy to join an organization at such a young age these days. The value of the award was much higher than that of a third-class merit.

This was equivalent to clearing away a lot of obstacles for him. You know, there were dozens of people in the Second Criminal Investigation Division where he was located. If he was included, the number of members of the organization would not even be enough to fill one hand.

Some people have been writing applications for more than ten years and have attended organized classes several times, but they still don’t know how long they will have to wait for approval.

After sitting and chatting at Jin's house for a while, Li Yancheng saw the child start to yawn and look for his mother for food. Then he returned the child to Xing Lihua and returned to his room. Jin Zhihai and Ningning followed him.

Xing Lihua's mother is here now to help them take care of the children and lives in Ningning's room. Ningning is temporarily living with Li Yancheng. Now that he is back, how should they live?
Let him and Ningning sleep in one bedroom while the other sleeps in the separate room on the east side? That sounds awkward.

Ningning is already fourteen years old, not a little kid, and he is not Ningning's biological brother. If this gets out, it will not be good for anyone.

"However, Zhihai, you and Lihua move into this bedroom, and let Ningning live in my old studio over there. I'll live in your room."

"This... this is too much trouble, Dacheng, why don't you just let Ningning go live with Lihua's mother? Ningning, is that ok?"

"Okay, listen to me and clean it up now. We'll be done in a few minutes if we work together."

Before Ningning could say anything, Li Yancheng waved his hand and said something that left no room for refusal.

Ningning has been used to sleeping alone since she was a child. Now she is asked to sleep in the same bed with others. Although she won't say anything, she is definitely unhappy in her heart.

Jin Zhihai certainly knew what his sister was thinking, otherwise he would not have agreed to let his sister live in his good brother's house when his mother-in-law came over.

He just felt that tormenting his good brother like this was a bit...

"Dacheng"

"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Hurry up and get to work. Go back to your room and pack your things. Just bring the bedding and diapers for the baby today. You can pack the other things tomorrow.

I'll make a bed for Ningning in this room. Hurry up, your son will be going to bed soon."

"Okay then, I'll go back and pack my things first."

"Um"

Seeing that Li Yancheng had started to move, Jin Zhihai could only agree reluctantly.

After her brother left, Ning Ning came up to Li Yancheng and said, "Brother Dacheng, thank you."

"What are you thanking me for? Go and roll up your bedding on the bed over there and bring it over here."

"okay"

After all this trouble, it was almost nine o'clock when everything was done.

In the end, Xing Lihua's mother moved to the room on the east side of the main house, and Ningning returned to her own house.

Xing Lihua's mother lived there mainly so that she could help if the child made a fuss at night and the two of them couldn't comfort him.

If she still lived in the west wing, she would have to get up and put on a cotton jacket before going out, which would be so tiring that the old lady would catch a cold.

This is the benefit of having an elderly person to help you. Fan Chunmei would be so envious.

No one helped her when she gave birth. Her mother was unwilling to lend a hand to her daughter. She was only thinking about money all day long. Coupled with her father and brother who were money-grubbers, these were the fundamental reasons why she completely fell out with her family.

Now it's all right. Li Yancheng heard from Jin Zhihai that although Lu Junmin was not good-looking, like a short and fat man, he was really good to Fan Chunmei. It was like holding him in his hands for fear of dropping him, or holding him in his mouth for fear of melting him.

What can I say about Lu Junmin? His appearance completely fits what Mr. Zhao, the king of sketches, said: he has a big head and a thick neck, so he must be either a boss or a cook.

He is able to gain weight these days and lives up to his reputation as a chef.

Actually, he is not that fat, it’s just that he is a little short, so he looks particularly fat.

Little Ningning has grown at least two or three centimeters in the past six months. He is now about 1.65 meters tall, which makes him look a little taller than Lu Junmin. You can imagine how tall he is.

"Big Cheng Brother"

"What's the matter? Come in and talk. Why are you sticking your head out?"

"Hey, Dacheng, can you help me make my pants longer? They're too short now. Look, the cotton pants are leaking out. I can't make them right when I try to make them myself, and I've wasted a lot of fabric."

As she spoke, her little mouth pouted with a look of annoyance. Perhaps she felt that she was really useless and couldn't even do needlework well.

Li Yancheng looked down and saw that it was true. The girl had grown so fast that her trousers were now above her ankles, revealing the edge of her cotton trousers.

These chores were originally done by Xing Lihua for her sister-in-law, but now she has children to take care of, so she may have neglected them. Ningning was probably too embarrassed to trouble her sister-in-law, so she endured it until Li Yancheng came back.

"No problem. Just bring me the pants and I'll make you a pair now so you can wear them tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you, Brother Dacheng, I'll get it."

"Wow, what is this crazy girl doing?"

Ningning turned around and ran out, just bumping into Jin Zhihai who was about to come in.

"Brother, I'll go get my pants." After saying that, without waiting for her brother to reply, she slipped back to her room next door.

Jin Zhihai looked at Li Yancheng in the room in confusion and asked, "What's wrong with Ningning? Why are you taking out your pants?"

"Ningning has grown taller, and her outer pants are a little short. The edges of her inner cotton pants are sticking out. She just told me that she wanted me to fix the edges for her, so I asked her to go back and get them."

Hearing Li Yancheng say this, Jin Zhihai raised his hand and slapped his forehead.

"I was so busy that I saw her pants were too short that day, so I told my wife to pick them up, but I forgot about it the moment I turned around.

Okay, Dacheng, don't worry about it, I'll take it to Lihua later."

"Okay, okay, it's no big deal, it's just a hem of a pair of pants, so what? Your wife hems it well, but mine is so ugly."

"What are you saying?" Jin Zhihai was embarrassed.

His brother just came back today, and he came to make room for his family. Now he has to do needlework for his sister. He really feels a little guilty.

"Come on Ningning, give me your pants and I'll fix them for you. Don't listen to your brother. Your sister-in-law has to work during the day and take care of the children at night. You have to let her take some time to rest when she's free."

Ningning just happened to appear at the door with three pairs of pants of her own. After hearing what her brother said, she didn't know what to do for a moment.

Seeing this, Li Yancheng waved to her to take it.

"Oh"

Ningning nodded, walked into the house and handed the pants to her brother Dacheng.

"Stand up straight, I'll show you how long it should be."

Wow, I never paid much attention to it before, but today when I measured it with my own eyes, Li Yancheng realized that this girl has very long legs. She is 1.65 meters tall, and from the hip to the ankle is one meter long.

Tsk tsk, it would be terrible if it got any longer.

She won't be fourteen until March. Under normal circumstances, as long as she gets enough nutrition, she can still grow taller. She doesn't need to be too tall, just 1.7 meters will be enough. If these five centimeters are fully extended to her legs, she will grow a big hole in the ground.

I dare not even think about it!
"Measure tape, Zhihai, where is your measure tape? I need it."

"Oh, in the sewing machine drawer."

"Ningning, just stand up straight and don't lower your head."

Li Yancheng found that the three pairs of trousers Ningning brought over had been worn and discolored at the knees. The New Year was approaching, and he still had some cloth in his warehouse, which should be enough to make a small lapel jacket for this girl.

Why not measure it now?

The brother and sister watched him eagerly as he used a ruler to measure not only the waist and leg length, but also the upper body. How could they not know what he was trying to do?

"Dacheng, you... I won't say anything if you help Ningning fix her pants, but why are you planning to make clothes for her?"

"Brother Dacheng, my clothes are all fine, no need to do it."

"It's almost Chinese New Year, and I think Ningning hasn't worn new clothes in two years. I'll buy her a new set this year. I have quite a few cloth coupons."

"Brother Dacheng, there's really no need to do it. My clothes are all fine."

"Be good, Ningning, don't run away. Let me finish measuring you." Li Yancheng reached out and grabbed Ningning who was about to run away. "Zhihai, if you want new clothes, buy the cloth yourself, and I can make you a Zhongshan suit, or make a small lapel for your wife. It's no problem. Let her tell me the size herself."

“That’s enough.” Jin Zhihai raised his hand and waved: “What’s the matter, are you planning to change your career to become a tailor, or are you planning to take over all the clothes in my house in the future?

I told you you were fat and you gasped. I won’t let you make it because I think the clothes you make are not pretty.”

Little Ningning pursed her lips and smiled. She stood there obediently without moving, cooperating with Brother Dacheng to measure her size. She raised her hands when she was asked to, looked up when she was asked to, and turned around when she was asked to. She was very obedient.

"If you don't let me do it, then I'll just do it for Ningning. Then your parents-in-law will be so jealous."

"Tsk...Okay, let's not talk about this nonsense. Just do your thing and listen to me. Do you know what happened to the Luo family?"

"I know. Su Xiaotong told me about it a few days ago."

"Alas, the two daughters of the Luo family refused to listen to advice and insisted on going through thick and thin with their family."

"This shows that the Luo family has done a good job in education. No matter what happens, the children will not abandon their family."

In recent years, we have seen many people who cut ties with their families when something happens, and some even want to step on them.

Now when I meet two people who don't listen to their parents and insist on going their separate ways, I feel so sad.

Before they could sigh for a few seconds, a voice suddenly came from outside the house.

"Doctor Li"

"Hey, I'm in the house, come in."

It was Bai Jie's voice coming from the east wing opposite.

"Brother Jin, Ningning, you are all here."

Bai Jie walked in after pulling aside the door curtain. When she saw Jin Zhihai and her sister were here, a hint of hesitation flashed across her face. She regretted a little that she didn't notice that there were people here.

"Comrade Bai Jie, what's the matter?"

"Uh... Doctor Li, before Xiao Min and her sister left Beijing, they asked me to give you a letter. I don't know if you want to read it. Xiao Min said that if you don't read it, you should let me burn it."

After hesitating for a moment, Bai Jie decided to explain her purpose clearly. If she just left without saying anything, it might cause misunderstandings among others.

"Letter?" Li Yancheng was slightly stunned.

He didn't expect that Luo Min would actually leave him a letter. It must have taken a lot of thought to keep this letter.

I didn't realize that Bai Jie was so brave that she dared to help Luo Min pass the message and was not afraid of getting herself involved.

"Thank you, Comrade Bai Jie. Please give me the letter."

No matter what is written, he has to read it. He still feels guilty towards the three brothers and sisters of the Luo family.

At that time, I promised to help take care of my sister, haha...

But plans really don't change as fast as they should.

Bai Jie didn't say anything else. She just took out a letter from her coat pocket and handed it over.

The handwriting on the envelope was very beautiful, and it was addressed to Li Yancheng himself.

He took the letter and put it directly into his pocket, looked at Bai Jie and nodded: "Thank you"

"You're welcome. Doctor Li, you go ahead and do your work. I'll be on my way. Brother Jin, Ningning, bye."

"Goodbye"

"Goodbye, Sister Bai Jie."

After Bai Jie left, Jin Zhihai first glanced at Li Yancheng who was measuring Ning Ning again, then looked at his sister, and after lighting a cigarette for himself, he lowered his voice and spoke.

"Dacheng, you'd better not interfere in the Luo family's affairs. That's not something you can handle."

"I know. I'm not stupid. How can I interfere in matters of that level? It's more troublesome for someone to crush me to death than to crush an ant."

Li Yancheng smiled faintly.

After saying that, he handed the tape measure to Ningning and asked her to measure her bust herself.

"But... Zhihai, Luo Yang is a kid who has a temper similar to mine. If I can help in any way, I will definitely help."

"Luo...what do you mean? Their family is not in Beijing now. I heard they went to the northwest. How can you help?"

"I know where to go. It's in Qin Province. Maybe after the Chinese New Year, I might go there with Su Xiaotong."

"Are you crazy? What's Su Xiaotong's identity? What's your identity? If something really happens, his father might be able to protect him, but who can protect you?
I can appreciate it, but it's not worth it if I put myself in it, right? "

Jin Zhihai stood up suddenly and looked at his good brother as if he was a fool.

Even Jin Wenning, who was about to read the numbers on the tape measure, stopped and looked at Brother Dacheng in front of him with shock.

Others wouldn't even have time to dodge in this kind of situation, so why would he want to jump forward?

Li Yancheng pulled the corner of his mouth into a smile, raised his hand and pressed it down, signaling Jin Zhihai to be patient and listen to what he had to say.

"Don't worry, just listen to me."

"How can I not be anxious? Have you become stupid after being isolated for half a year? Hmm? No, are you interested in Luo Min, so..."

"Okay, stop guessing. I admit that I did promise Luo Yang to take care of his sister, but to say that I fell in love with Luo Min is a bit exaggerated. I can only say that I have a good impression of her.

What I just said about going to Qin Province after the New Year to see the current situation of the Luo family was just a side job. The real purpose of Su Xiaotong and I going there is to interrogate a prisoner who has already been sentenced. "

"Interrogate the prisoner? Do you have a new case so soon?"

“There are no new cases yet. Our bureau has five operations divisions. Even if there are new cases, we can’t just give them to one division. You really want to use people to death.

Even if we are willing, the other four departments cannot agree. Everyone is eager to make meritorious contributions. The prisoner we plan to bring to trial this time is involved in other matters. "

Jin Zhihai stopped asking questions after hearing this. The cases handled by the Social Affairs Bureau were all confidential, and he didn't want to be asked all kinds of questions just because he knew something.

"Let's not talk about this, Dacheng. If you want to go to see the Luo family, I still hope you can think it through and keep a low profile. There must be a lot of people keeping an eye on his family during this period, even though his father has been completely wiped out.

But I think there must be many people who want to take advantage of his misfortune. Of course, there must be many of his old comrades who want to help.

I believe you know very well what kind of people are on both sides, so don't..."

"Don't worry, I understand. I just want to see Luo Yang. After all, he helped me before without saying a word."

Li Yancheng nodded. Of course he knew the interests involved in this matter.

Help? He hadn't thought about it since he found out about it last week. It was a joke for him to want to help with his small size.

He just wanted to send Luo Yang something useful, such as...

"Zhi Hai, you are in contact with Lao Zhu now, right?"

"It's not like we're in contact. If there's a case, I'll ask him for clues. What's wrong?"

"Please ask him to help me get some national food coupons. I have some here..."

As he spoke, Li Yancheng reached into his trouser pocket and took out the six-month salary he had just received today.

"Here, this is 500 yuan. Ask him to help get 500 yuan worth of national food coupons."

"Why do you carry so much money in your pocket?" Jin Zhihai's eyes were wide open. He had never seen anyone carry so much money in his pocket.

"Well, I just received my salary for the past six months today. My personnel relationship has been transferred, so they collected my salary for me and gave it to me today."

"I thought so. You have nothing to do but carry so much money. OK, I'll talk to Lao Zhu tomorrow." Jin Zhihai reached out to take the money and stuffed it into his pocket without even counting it.

"You count"

"I don't care about counting. If there is less, Lao Zhu will have to pay for it himself. If there is more, it will be his fault."

"Tsk, Ningning, look at your brother, he's so tough now."

"Haha... Dacheng brother, please remember this. I'll tell you the number."

"Okay, I'm listening."
