The police in the 60s love eating melons and working

"Come on that sunny day, my eighteen-year-old brother..."

The weather in July was very hot, as if a fire had fallen. Early in the morning, I don't know who turned on the radio, but the volume was so loud that it could be heard upstairs and downstairs. The women in each household who had gotten up early to cook started humming along.

The morning was the busiest, with the sounds of pots and pans, and waves of aroma. Jiang Fang, who was greedy upstairs, poked his head out and shouted, "Who is eating meat so early in the morning? Aren't you tired of living? There's still another half month before the salary is paid..."

Sister Li from downstairs also poked her head out and shouted, "Jiang Fang, I saw your mother buying an old hen yesterday. Your family can eat it, but other families can't..."

Jiang Fang was very proud: "My wife is in confinement after giving birth, and she needs to take some supplements..."

"Your wife has been in confinement for three months. She just laid a golden egg!"

"My family has a son, son, do you understand?"

"Why, you don't like girls?"

"Go away, stop talking nonsense. When is the time? It's not easy to say such things..."

Jiang Fang retreated quickly, and everyone burst into laughter...

Chen Humei, a family on the second floor, muttered to herself, "I told you to close the window, but you didn't listen. You're afraid that others won't know that we eat meat in the morning, right?"

"You can't always keep the windows open in the summer. If you open them, there will still be a smell. It's better to let it go in the morning." The man who spoke was fiddling with the radio. Well, it was his family that made the noise so early in the morning.

This middle-aged man was wearing a short-sleeved white shirt, his hair was combed meticulously, and his face was slicked back with powder. He didn't look plain, but he was a real gigolo.

Oh, no, old white-faced man.

Oh, no, a middle-aged white-faced man.

"You are showing off so early in the morning." Chen Humei, the mistress of the house, turned around and called her daughter again: "Dujuan, Dujuan, what time is it? The sun is shining on your butt, and you haven't gotten up yet. Hurry up and get up. Today is your first day at work, and you are still dawdling. You can't be late on your first day. You are just like your father. You can't learn good things and you dawdle in bed..."

The door opened, and a short-haired girl in slippers rubbed her eyes, saying softly: "I'm up..."

Ran into the toilet.

Chen Humei continued reading: "It's really a lazy donkey that has a lot of shit and piss. It's so early in the morning..."

She wanted to continue reading, but the big man who was cooking in the kitchen couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Okay, you're still nagging the child about going to the toilet. Who doesn't go to the toilet when getting up early? Why are you nagging so much? Hurry up and set the table for dinner."

"That's right." The middle-aged man with a slicked-back hair and powdered face was cheering on the side. His name was Du Guoqiang, the first page in the household registration book, and the head of the family.

Uh... no dignity at all.

Chen Humei: "Just protect her. What time is it now..."

"It was too hot and I couldn't sleep. I went to bed in the middle of the night. Isn't it normal to get up late?" The big man said nonchalantly.

The short-haired girl came out of the bathroom in her slippers, grinning: "My uncle loves me the most."

Chen Humei rolled her eyes and said, "Just spoil her."

"My niece, who else should I spoil if I don't spoil her?"

The family sat down quickly. They were the ones who had meat early in the morning. However, they only had four people and three workers, so they could afford it. The head of the family was Du Guoqiang.

Du Guoqiang, male, 38 years old, from Liushutun, Banlashanzi Township, Baoshan County, a real farmer. When he was young, he was very active. He won over the city girl Chen Humei with his good looks, and caught a spy with his cleverness, and was recruited into the public security team.

It was the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China and there was a shortage of people. Du Guoqiang had made contributions and came from a poor peasant family with a good family background, so he was successfully hired.

However, this man is a typical person who is good at using his brain but not physically strong, and he is not ambitious. He has not achieved anything in these years. This year, he took the initiative to "step down and give way to others" and gave his job to his only daughter Du Juan, who graduated from high school at the age of 18. At the age of 38, he has officially become a househusband.

His wife, Chen Humei, worked in the canteen of the steel mill and was a chef. Chen's parents passed away when she was a child, and she grew up with her brother. The two siblings depended on each other, so Chen Humei was quite strong and never suffered any loss.

It is said that the old man of the Chen family named his daughter Humei. The brother was named Chen Hu and the sister was named Humei. There is nothing wrong with this. Even uneducated people would name their daughters like this. But when they registered their household registration, they mistakenly registered her as Humei.

The "mei" in "sister" became the "mei" in "plum blossom".

Although it was a small mistake, Chen Humei was quite happy. She felt that Humei was always better than Humei. In the past, everyone called her Dameizi.

Living with them was Chen Humei's brother, Chen Hu.

If you want to know why Chen Hu lives with his sister's family, it's because Du Guoqiang took advantage of his elder brother-in-law. His family was able to get a three-bedroom apartment two years ago, thanks to his elder brother-in-law's seniority. Chen Hu's ancestors were cooks, so this can be considered a family tradition. When Chen Hu was ten years old, Da Meizi was born in the family. The brother and sister are ten years apart. But when Chen Hu was fifteen, his parents died because of a sabotage.

From then on, the fifteen-year-old Chen Hu lived with his five-year-old sister. Later, he entered the canteen of the Municipal Public Security Bureau with his skills and became a cook. He also successfully got married and was very proud of himself at that time. Unfortunately, his fate was also rough. When the country was just founded, there were many bad guys and saboteurs. Although he was a cook, Chen Hu was also very vigilant because he worked in the Public Security Bureau. Once he found a spy fighting with him, he got into trouble because he saved someone.

The injury was not serious, but unfortunately, he was injured in a vital part and has been unable to recover since then.

At that time, they didn't hide it in public, so everyone knew about it. Under such circumstances, and without a child, the woman didn't want to continue the relationship. So Chen Hu divorced his wife of one year and raised his sister alone.

Later, Chen Humei fell in love with Du Guoqiang, a pretty boy, and he lived with her sister's family.

Later, the cuckoo appeared.

It's a family of four.

Chen Humei injured herself when she gave birth to Dujuan and could not have any more children, leaving her as the only child in the family.

Although life was hard in the 1960s, it was no joke that a cook would not starve to death in a famine. Not to mention, his family had two cooks, so the Du family was one of the best. Eating meat so early in the morning, everyone in the building had some guesses, probably it was Da Meizi's family.

Who can blame them for having the smallest burden? There are only three workers among four people. I am so envious of them.

There is not a girl in this family compound who does not envy Du Juan.

Some old ladies have been muttering behind her back that they have never seen anyone who is better at reincarnation than her. Look, right now, Dujuan, who is said to be the best reincarnation, is eating a pie, pure meat, made from white bread, fried in oil, it is simply a delicacy on earth.

Dujuan can eat six in one go. Although she is thin, she is a big eater.

She is eighteen years old this year. Ten days after graduating from high school, she took over her father's job and went to the police station to become a glorious public security comrade. The formalities have been completed, and today is her first day of work. How about eating meat pies early in the morning?

This is to celebrate the little cuckoo's official entry into the workplace.

In theory, Du Juan didn't have to take over after graduating from high school, and could wait for the street to assign her a job. But the policy has been getting worse over the past two years, and since her family has three workers, she is generally not given priority in assignments.

If I ask someone with connections for help, it would not be safe in the current situation.

Plus some subsequent policies...

Du Guoqiang made a prompt decision and let his daughter take over.

Speaking of which, Du Guoqiang's decision to let his daughter take over really shocked everyone.

I didn't expect it, I never expected it.

Du Guoqiang, he is only thirty-eight!

He is already fifty years old and still working hard at his job, and he has not even said that he will let his child take over. He is only thirty-eight and he wants his daughter to take over, which is really unexpected. In the eyes of many people, a young girl who does not work and stays at home to do housework is always better than a grown man like Du Guoqiang at home, right?

But Du Guoqiang just doesn’t want to!
Anyone who knows Du Guoqiang would be speechless.

But on second thought, this is something Du Guoqiang could really do. After all, this guy is a weirdo!
In their city, Du Guoqiang is also a top figure. Well, he is the only one who feels at ease and proud of eating free food.

Let's get back to the topic. Let's not talk about Du Guoqiang. Today is Du Juan's most important day. She changed into the police uniform early in the morning. Because she wanted to join the police force, she cut off her black braids and now has a Hu Lan head.

When Dujuan was getting her hair cut, she cried because she couldn't bear it. But the long braid sold for one dollar and twenty cents, and she bought half a chicken and stewed potatoes... It was so delicious!
I don't feel sad anymore.

Du Juan is very good at growing up. Her mother is tall, stocky and ugly. Her father is good-looking, but not very tall and very thin.

She is tall like her mother and looks like her father.

The tall girl was wearing a police uniform, with big black eyes, fair skin, and full of energy.

The family went downstairs together and met their neighbors who were going to work. They greeted them one by one: "Hey, little Dujuan is going to work? Look, look, she is dressed so smartly."

"Dujuan, it's such a pity to lose your long black braid. But you look good with short hair too. If you look good, you will look good no matter what. You must work hard in the future!"

"Old Du, what are you doing? Your daughter has taken over, and you're still going? If I'm not saying anything bad, you just act on impulse. Little Dujuan is not unwilling to be assigned a job, so why don't you wait a while? You're just impatient. Now that you've done this, the street office won't have to assign her a job. If you wait a little longer, maybe your family will have four workers."

"You regret it, don't you? Regret can't bring it back."

……

Everyone was mumbling.

Du Guoqiang smiled good-naturedly and said, "Why should I regret? I don't regret it at all. It would be great if my daughter could go to work earlier to serve the people. My daughter is a high school student and is more suitable to join the public security team as soon as possible. I have only graduated from elementary school, she is better than me. Our family is also doing this to better serve the people. Besides, if everyone in the family goes to work, it would be too busy. It just so happens that someone needs to take care of the housework at home. I think I can do it!"

“……”Everyone was speechless.

"It's said that women hold up half the sky, and it's time for my daughter to prove it." Du Guoqiang grabbed two colleagues and neighbors at work and said, "Let me tell you, Lao Wang and Lao Gao, you have all watched my daughter grow up, and they are all my Du Juan's uncles. You have to take good care of little Du Juan on weekdays. Although my daughter is a woman who holds up half the sky, you as the elders cannot not take care of my niece. We have been neighbors for so many years, it would be unkind of you not to take care of my niece, you know how I..."

"OK OK!"

"Oh my god, you started it again..."

"Why do you get to say everything? You are a grown man, but you are more talkative than an old woman."

Du Guoqiang disagreed and shook his head: "What you said is wrong again. What do you mean by more talkative than old women? The premise of this statement is that old women are talkative. You are looking down on women. Why are old women talkative? Men can't talkative? Look at me, I am a talkative person, and you don't allow it? Besides..."

"Okay, okay, I give in. I give in, okay?"

"Don't say anything, just look after him, okay? Don't stir up trouble..."

Du Guoqiang: "It's good that you know this, Du Juan. In the future, if you encounter any problems that are difficult to handle at the police station, go find your uncle Wang and uncle Gao. If anyone bullies you, tell me and I will go to their house..."

"I'll go with you." Chen Hu said softly.

Lao Wang and Lao Gao: “…”

The two men silently looked at Chen Hu, who was 1.97 meters tall.

Chen Hu, 197cm tall, 119kg, not fat, but a strong man, standing there like a wall, the kind that can fight tigers. His sister Da Meizi, 179cm tall, also a strong woman.

They had never seen a lesbian taller than Chen Humei.

Look at Du Guoqiang, who is only 1.73 meters tall and so thin that he looks like he could be blown away by a gust of wind.

Lao Wang and Lao Gao fell silent again.

It’s not easy to be a son-in-law!
"Don't worry, we will definitely take good care of Dujuan."

Sonorous and powerful!

Du Juan blinked her big, bright black eyes and smiled cutely...
