The golden age began in 1977

Chapter 35 Street Security Pioneer
Many of the small blackboards in front of the buildings had notices written on them with chalk.

The content made the young girls and wives blush.

Qian Jin stood downstairs of his house and watched:
"Beware of class enemies sabotaging women's lives! Last night, three more pairs of cotton underwear and two pairs of Dacron shorts disappeared..."

This made him scratch his head: "Strange."

"What's so strange? I told you, the person you caught last night wasn't a thief, he was a big thief!" Xu Weidong said, "You're going to make a great contribution!"

Qian Jin said: "No, you said that."

"I wonder why someone would use Dacron to make underpants?"

Xu Weidong said, "Hey, isn't this normal? This material doesn't absorb urine or sweat, it's even smoother than a girl's face."

"These cotton shorts absorb urine as soon as they get wet, which makes them smell bad. They stick to my underwear as soon as I sweat, which is uncomfortable."

Qian Jin said, "But it's unhealthy. Dacron isn't breathable, and making trouser crotches out of it can easily lead to fungal infections."

He had a friend who bought polyester shorts made of Dacron when he was in college because they were cheap.

Later, I felt discomfort in my crotch and went to the hospital for a check-up. It turned out that it was athlete's foot that had spread to my crotch. It was protected by the anaerobic conditions of my polyester shorts and multiplied rapidly, developing into a fungal black forest.

"What's unhealthy about this? Cotton shorts are not hygienic enough." Xu Weidong suddenly sniffed hard and looked at Qian Jin suspiciously.

"Are you wearing cotton shorts? You look so sexy! Hehe, let me smell it again..."

Qian Jin also smelled the foul odor.

Turn around.

Old Mrs. Li, who lives on the first floor, got up early and took the chamber pot to go to the toilet.

Her face flushed with shame as she pointed and said, "Now that the leader is gone, the world has gone to hell. Young people have no shame these days."

Qian Jin hurriedly pulled Xu Weidong, who was about to vomit, and walked quickly:
"Let's clear the way for Maas. Don't leave these advanced individuals here to be treated as backward elements."

The streets look different now than they did in the past.

Under the bright autumn sun, the iron clips on the clothesline dangled like a bare commander, and the flags of the world have all been withdrawn.

Went to the neighborhood committee.

Xu Weidong explained to those around him, "That's no small feat. I've asked Huazi about it, and it's a major accomplishment!"

"Do you know who the thief we caught last night was?"

He began to boast: "Everyone knows that a pickpocket organization called the Iron Hand Gang has appeared in our city since last year, right?"

"These guys are skilled in martial arts, able to climb walls and fly over rooftops, and are elusive. The Public Security Bureau has organized several arrests but has yet to catch them."

"Hey, the one we caught last night was one of their backbones!"

The members of the four teams sighed, their faces full of envy and jealousy.

Captain Zhao Bo gritted his teeth and said, "You're lucky! This bastard pickpocket only commits crimes when I'm not on duty!"

Wang Dong scoffed, "What's the point of being on duty? You guys are playing cards in the boiler room, how can he go and steal the boiler?"

Zhao Bo was furious: "What are you talking about? Do you think our team three is the same as your team one..."

"What's wrong? Aren't you guys here?" Wang Dong threw away his clothes and started working.

Team one and team three started to argue.

Qian Jin went up and pushed Wang Dong and Zhao Bo apart, who were embracing each other and saying, "Are you getting so close to kiss? Be careful not to get reported for violating public morals."

Wang Dong said angrily, "Then just arrest me and sentence me."

Zhao Bo gives money and face:
"Alright, Lao Wang, Captain Qian is doing this for our own good. Just give us a way out."

A new team leader came up and took Wang Dong away.

The two teams dispersed.

Qian Jin asked, "You dragged me here early in the morning to show off?"

Xu Weidong shook his head: "No, Huazi told me that they have handed the thief over to the district."

"The district has verified the identity of this thief and asked them to have the street security office come to the neighborhood committee to commend us first."

"Damn it! If Zhang Gou can intercept our newspapers, he might be able to intercept our awards too. I asked you to come here just to wait and see!"

really.

At around ten o'clock, Huang Yongtao, director of the street security office, Pang Laifu, deputy director, and others arrived.

According to the procedure, they came to find Zhang Hongbo first, and Zhang Hongbo quickly called the official staff of the neighborhood committee to prepare to receive them.

But Xu Weidong was even quicker. He called all the other members of the second team and blocked the door with a heroic and confident look.

Seeing a group of people appear, Huang Yongtao asked, "Ah? Is this the thief that all these people caught together?"

The members of the second team sneered and looked at Qian Jin.

Qian Jin took the initiative to explain, "Yes, leader, around 12:30 last night, our team encountered the thief while on patrol and successfully apprehended him."

"So I think this is the result of the hard work of our entire team!"

Huang Yongtao looked at him with interest: "How can it be the result of your entire team's hard work? Whoever catches the thief gets to catch him."

Qian Jin said: "Some of us saw the thief first, some set up ambushes in multiple directions, and finally someone successfully blinded him with a flashlight, and someone else took the lead and controlled him."

At the end he pointed at Xu Weidong.

Xu Weidong quickly said, "Everything depends on the leadership of our captain!"

"The greatest credit goes to our captain!"

Huang Yongtao looked at Qian Jin again.

Qian Jin said calmly: "We are a collective, a team. We should share honor and disgrace and unite as one."

Huang Yongtao admired him very much. He patted him on the shoulder and smiled to the others: "Well said. What Captain Qian said is what I have always emphasized."

"Whether it's a team or a unit, as small as a family or as big as a country, it must be united!"

"Unity is strength. Only with strength can we have combat effectiveness, fight tough battles and win victories!" Qian Jin led the applause.

The second team applauded wildly.

The other four teams applauded weakly.

Huang Yongtao delivered a speech, elevating the incident of catching the thief.

Finally, he took a red flag from Pang Laifu and handed it to Zhang Hongbo:

"The Taishan Road Labor Assault Team No. 2 cleverly captured a major thief. The district has applied for a 'Street Security Pioneer' red flag for you."

"This is a collective reward. As for your second team's reward, I'm afraid you'll have to wait a few days. The leaders of the higher-level unit need to hold a meeting to study it before making a decision."

Zhang Hongbo smiled and raised the red flag.

Anyone who knew him could tell something was wrong.

If any street neighborhood committee can get such a red flag, the staff will be very happy, and even the residents of the street will feel proud of it.

Xu Weidong winked.

Cheng Hua shook hands with Zhang Hongbo and congratulated him, "Director Zhang, you now have a strong army under your command, especially the two great generals Qian Jin and Xu Weidong. They really bring honor to you and your street!"

Xu Weidong said loudly, "Comrade Cheng Hua, you are too kind."

Cheng Hua laughed and said, "No, you just won the honor of being an advanced individual in our city's agricultural support and autumn harvest task—I didn't make this up, did I? I saw it in my company's newspaper!"

Xu Weidong asked in surprise, "Did you see it in the newspaper? Did the newspaper report it?"

Cheng Hua pointed at him and rolled his eyes. "Go ahead and pretend, but I'm afraid your whole house has been covered with that issue of the Haibin Labor Newspaper that reported on you, right?"

"Even if you don't post this newspaper at home, your neighborhood committee will still issue a commendation!"

"Isn't that right, comrades?"

The members of Team 2 looked at each other, then shook their heads: "I don't know."

"Is that true?"

“Who’s in the newspaper?”

The members of the second team surrounded Zhang Hongbo and asked why the neighborhood committee did not notify them since the Labor News had reported on them.

Zhang Hongbo said seriously, "Isn't it because the organization is afraid that you'll become arrogant and complacent?"

He left a few words in a stiff voice and hurried away.

He didn't even get the red flag of "Street Security Pioneer".

It was taken away by Wei Xiangmi, the women's director.

Before leaving, Wei Xiangmi stared at Qian Jin.

Her pretty face was smiling.

The crowd dispersed.

Qian Jin found Zhou Yaozu and handed him a box: "This pen is for you."

Zhou Yaozu was polite to him.

He stuffed it directly into Zhou Yaozu's arms: "These pens are worth only a fraction of your bell!"

Zhou Yaozu accepted it reluctantly: "Actually, I have a pen."

He looked at the box and smiled to himself.

Captain Qian was surprised that a small pen was put in such a big box.

The lid is open.

There are two pens inside, one on the left and one on the right.

Hero 100 on the left and Platinum Raccoon on the right.

Anyone who likes to write with a fountain pen knows how profound these two pens are!

Zhou Yaozu took a quick look inside.

Then all I could see were the two of them.

The Hero 100 has a retro design. In the 27s when rotary ink absorbers were already common, it still used the traditional push-type ink absorber.

However, its ink sac is equipped with a memory metal shrapnel, which can be filled with ink by pressing it.

The Platinum Raccoon has a very powerful sliding seal air cap technology, which allows it to produce water even if it is not used for a long time.

Both are gold pens, and the nibs are all made of 14K gold sheets cast in one piece.

Zhou Yaozu was not clear about these implications.

He just felt that the designs of these two pens were very nice.

In comparison, the pens in my home look so rustic in front of them, as if they were just dug out of the ground.

Qian Jin put the Platinum Raccoon pen in his pocket and said with a smile, "The clip of this pen is a tie clip, which is very suitable for inserting it on clothes."

"Well, good job, very energetic and not embarrassing!"

The paint finish of both pens is very exquisite, and both are top-of-the-line designs in their respective series.

Zhou Yaozu felt that with such a pen stuck on his clothes, his whole temperament was improved!

The box also comes with two matching bottles of ink, one large and one small.

The large one can be placed on the desk, and the small one can be carried with you. It is very convenient to use together.

Looking at the two shiny and beautifully shaped pens and the two bottles of ink that were obviously very precious just by looking at the bottles, Zhou Yaozu reluctantly closed the lids.

Qian Jin waved and left, and he carefully held the baby in his arms and went home.
