When his old brother came, Ma Kui of course greeted him very warmly. The two of them had a drink together at noon and at night. After the drinks, they did not leave but stayed at Ma's house.
Peng Mingjie's persuasion did work, but something unexpected happened.
Ma Kui could agree to let Ma Yan do business, but he wanted Ma Yan to do the fur business with Peng Mingjie. He would first let Ma Yan go to Harbin to learn from Peng Mingjie for a period of time, and then come back to sell furs.
This shocked Ma Yan.
"No, Dad, I just want to start small and try selling small items like buttons. You asked me to buy fur right away, but I don't have that much money."
Ma Kui didn't care about her so much, and asked: "I didn't ask you to sit down now, I asked you to study first, and then you said whether you would do it or not. If you don't want to do it, then go back to work, on your own."
Did Ma Yan have any choice? No choice.
"What about my buttons? How about I wait until I sell all the buttons?"
In the end, Ma Yan did not realize her wish. The button stayed behind temporarily, and she followed Peng Mingjie to Harbin to learn business experience.
This is interesting. Ma Kui's daughter went to study at Peng's house, and Peng Yongli lived in Ma Kui's house. It was like the two families exchanged daughters. Fortunately, Ma Yan would not stay there for long.
This result also surprised Zhou Chen. He just came up with an idea and wanted Peng Mingjie to persuade Ma Kui, but he never expected that it would actually change the development of the plot.
But no matter how things change, at least the problem with Ma Kui has been solved, and he will no longer oppose Ma Yan's business in the future, so Ma Yan and Wang Xin are still quite happy.
As soon as Ma Yan left, Wang Xin calmed down and put all his energy into work, and Ma Kui did the same.
As for Ma Jian, she takes care of him when Peng Yongli is at home, and Dr. Shen helps take care of him when she is not at home.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is winter of 85.
Zhou Chen has been in the criminal police team for a year. Captain Jiang is very satisfied with the performance of this squadron leader of the fourth squadron. Zhou Chen also gets along well with the criminal police from other squadrons.
In fact, under normal circumstances, there is no conflict of interest and the relationship between colleagues is quite good. Especially Zhou Chen is a potential stock that Captain Jiang values very much. If it is not necessary, no one is willing to conflict with Zhou Chen.
"Captain Zhou, this is the report on our last case."
Tao Jianguo handed his report to Zhou Chen. After Zhou Chen accepted it, he said a little embarrassedly: "Captain Zhou, I want to ask you for leave in a few days."
"What's wrong? Is something wrong?"
"My brother-in-law is getting married."
"Oh, I see. No problem. I'll approve it. But I still say that you must be on call 24 hours a day. If anything happens, you can return to the team at any time."
"Yes, Captain Zhou."
After Tao Jianguo left, Zhou Chen put down his pen and rubbed his temples.
The workload of the Criminal Police Team is much greater than that of the Passenger Police Team. As the squadron leader, he not only has to go out on field duty, but also has to organize various data reports. This means that he is very efficient at work, otherwise one or two people cannot do it well.
This is also one of the reasons why the members of the Fourth Squadron admire Zhou Chen. With Zhou Chen around, their workload is much less. Under Zhou Chen's arrangement, they each perform their duties and their work efficiency is higher than that of other squadrons. The key is that they get a lot of bonuses.
Following such a capable squadron leader, everyone is naturally very satisfied.
While they were busy, Ma Kui and Wang Xin came back.
It is the end of the year and the criminal police team has the task of following vehicle inspections. Zhou Chen sent the two of them to follow the inspections, and it has been more than half a month.
"I'm home."
"came back."
During this trip to Harbin, Ma Kui and Wang Xin also made a special visit to Ma Yan, and told Ma Yan that they would be back before the Spring Festival.
Zhou Chen raised his head, glanced around, and said in surprise: "Hey, what happened to you two? Are you both injured?"
Wang Xin laughed and said, "We encountered a few people making trouble and fighting in the car, and we went to stop them. Who would have thought that this guy was so powerful that he injured both of our hands."
"Is everything okay?"
"It's okay, just a little scrape, nothing serious."
Wang Xin didn't care at all. It was common for criminal police to get injured while investigating cases. He had even been injured when he was a flight attendant. This minor injury was nothing serious.
Zhou Chen nodded. In fact, when he saw that the two of them had injured hands, he couldn't help but think of the TV drama in which the thief lied to them that they were infected with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, and they were quarantined for this reason.
However, the thief king and his gang had already been arrested, so naturally this plot did not happen.
"This time you go back and rest for two days."
"Okay, then we'll go back first. We're really tired lately."
As soon as Wang Xin finished speaking, Ma Kui snorted coldly: "Are you tired of this? If all criminal police act like you, how can we maintain social order?"
Wang Xin cried out in grievance: "No, Master, I just said something in casual conversation, do you have to make such a big deal out of it?"
"Humph."
Ma Kui ignored him and just said to Zhou Chen: "It doesn't take two days, one day of rest is enough. The team has been so busy recently, we can't be idle."
Zhou Chen smiled bitterly and said, "As expected of you, Uncle Ma. Others are scrambling to get a rest, but you don't even want to take a rest. It's up to you."
Ma Kui is so dedicated that Zhou Chen has long been accustomed to it. He would not be used to it if Ma Kui became lazy one day.
In fact, with Ma Kui's qualifications, if he had not been in prison for ten years, he could at least be the captain of the criminal police brigade.
But now, he doesn't have such big ambitions. In his words, he is satisfied as long as he can continue to shine in the criminal police team, even if he is just a small criminal policeman.
Time quickly passed 85 and arrived in the new year, 1986.
Following last year, Zhou Chen will not celebrate the Spring Festival alone this year.
Last year, because of Peng Mingjie's incident, Peng Yongli spent the New Year at the Ma family, so Zhou Chen also had the New Year's Eve dinner at the Ma family.
Although there was one less person in the Ma family during this year's Spring Festival, one new member joined, that is Peng Yongli's father Peng Mingjie.
He came to Ningyang with Ma Yan, planning to spend the Spring Festival together at Ma's house, so he called Zhou Chen over as well.
So today, the Ma family was quite lively. Ma Kui, Peng Mingjie, and Zhou Chen, the three of them, clinked glasses and drank until they couldn't listen.
Ma Kui even toasted to Peng Mingjie to express his gratitude.
"Mingjie, thank you for taking care of Ma Yan. If it weren't for you, who knows how wild this girl would have become."
"Old Ma, you are being too polite. My daughter calls you second dad, and your daughter is also my daughter. Besides, Yan'er is really smart and learns things very quickly. My old friend said that she is born to do business."
Ma Kui didn't believe it. "Come on, Mingjie, you don't need to praise her so much. Is she a good businessman? You know I asked her to take the college entrance examination twice, and her math scores didn't add up to more than 30 points. She can't even understand math. How can she do business well?"
"dad."
Ma Yan was very dissatisfied with her father's sabotage: "Examinations are examinations, and business is business. Just because I failed the examination doesn't mean I can't do business."
"Yan'er is right, Old Ma, you just don't understand your daughter. Yan'er is very capable. I think she can definitely make it big in business. You have to support her."
In fact, Peng Mingjie has been in business for only a few months longer than Ma Yan. Ma Yan followed him in the first few months, and he watched Ma Yan grow up. He has more say than Ma Kui, the father.
"Okay, I support her. If I don't support her, will I agree to let her go to Harbin to study with you?"
Ma Kui also let it go. Since his daughter had made up her mind to take this step, what else could he do? He could only compromise.
"Let's not talk about her, Mingjie, let's talk about Li Li and Zhou Chen. I've been wanting to attend their wedding for a long time. What do you think as a father?"
Peng Mingjie laughed and said, "Of course I have no objection. I feel relieved to leave Lili to Zhou Chen. They have also discussed with me that the wedding will be held next month, so you can drink some of the wedding wine."
"Haha, that's good, that's good, I've been waiting for this day for a long time."

Chapter 1383 Zhou Chen's wedding, Niu Dali's return
The 22nd day of the second lunar month is a good day to get married!
A grand wedding banquet is being held today in one of the halls of a large state-owned hotel in Ningyang City.
Zhou Chen and Peng Yongli were both wearing their wedding dresses, looking very happy and smiling. Standing together, they were a perfect match, very enviable.
Zhou Chen took the microphone from the emcee and spoke slowly under the gaze of the guests at the ten tables below the stage.
"Thank you all for attending our wedding..."
The number of guests who came today is not too many, but not too few either.
Zhou Chen’s relatives and friends are his neighbors in the compound, as well as his colleagues in the criminal police team and the flight attendant team. As for his blood relatives, he had died long ago.
There were several tables of relatives from Peng Yongli's side, all of whom came from Harbin specifically, so the wedding scene was quite lively.
Zhou Chen said a few words while standing on the stage. Before that, Ma Kui served as the witness and spoke on the stage. Later, Peng Mingjie, as the father of the bride, also spoke on the stage.
As the wedding procedures were completed, relatives and friends began to eat, and the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became lively, with people clinking glasses and making constant noise.
Getting married in this era is not like many years later, with all kinds of wedding shows and people attending the wedding, it’s more about blessings and eating at the banquet.
Zhou Chen and Peng Yongli, the bride and groom, started toasting from the main table. No one bothered Peng Yongli, but Zhou Chen, the groom, became the target of everyone's trouble.
Especially the younger generation, they were in a difficult situation and kept urging Zhou Chen to drink, trying to get him drunk.
But Zhou Chen just smiled contemptuously and said, “I can beat ten of you losers.”
The wedding was held in the hotel at noon, and Zhou Chen arranged a meal in the courtyard in the evening, where relatives and friends had a lively time again.
The lively scene did not end until around eight or nine in the evening, and the last part was the bridal chamber prank.
In this session, Wang Xin, Cai Xiaonian and others were the main force, and they started to torment Zhou Chen and Peng Yongli, which lasted for more than an hour.
In the new house, Zhou Chen and Peng Yongli sat on the edge of the bed.
Looking at the beautiful Peng Yongli in front of him, Zhou Chen asked softly, "Are you tired?"
Peng Yongli smiled happily and shook her head: "I'm not tired. I'm really happy today. Zhou Chen, we are husband and wife now."
"Well, from today on, you are my Zhou Chen's wife, and you will only be my wife in the future."
Zhou Chen embraced Peng Yongli in his arms, and Peng Yongli's eyes were full of joy: "We will be together for the rest of our lives, right?"
"Yes, we will be together for the rest of our lives."
Zhou Chen said this sincerely. Since he had married Peng Yongli in this world, he would naturally not look for another woman.
Zhou Chen has gone through the wedding night process countless times, and practice makes perfect. There is no way Peng Yongli could be his opponent.
Spring Night is worth a thousand dollars!
On the second day after their wedding, Zhou Chen and Peng Yongli both slept until they woke up naturally. Thinking about what they had done yesterday, Peng Yongli felt very embarrassed and kept complaining.
As soon as Zhou Chen pushed the door open and walked out, he saw Cai Xiaonian and Wang Xin hanging around his house. The two were playing with Cai Xiaonian's son.
When they saw Zhou Chen coming out, their eyes suddenly lit up, with teasing expressions on their faces, and they winked at Zhou Chen.
"Hey, groom, you're still awake on your wedding night?"
Zhou Chen said calmly: "Why, are you envious?"
"I envy you so much,"
Cai Xiaonian said with disdain: "I got married a few years earlier than you. Even if you are envious, you envy me. Why would I envy you?"
"See my son? He's so strong. Son, call me daddy."
"Baba..."
Facing Cai Xiaonian's smug expression, Zhou Chen sneered with disdain, "Son? He has dozens of them."
Seeing Wang Xin laughing at the side, he aimed at him again.
"Wang Xin, what are you laughing at? You are a bachelor, do you know what we are talking about?"
Wang Xin was furious: "Are you looking down on me? Zhou Chen, don't be so arrogant. Your wife is Ma Yan's sister. According to seniority, you have to call me brother-in-law in the future."
"Makes sense."
Cai Xiaonian clapped his hands and praised: "What Wang Xin said makes sense. If you think about it this way, Zhou Chen, you really should call Wang Xin brother-in-law."
Zhou Chen chuckled and said, "Let's wait until he gets Uncle Ma and marries Ma Yan. Besides, if I really call him, will he dare to answer?"
Wang Xin got excited: "Oh, you're threatening me? I won't believe it today. If you call me, I will definitely answer."
Zhou Chen's face darkened: "Wang Xin, do you still want to take a vacation in the next few months?"
Wang Xin's face changed drastically, and he roared, "You have no moral principles."
"Stop talking to me, and get out of here."
Wang Xin glared at Zhou Chen angrily and yelled, "Get out of here!" Then he turned around and ran away.
Cai Xiaonian stared at the scene in amazement: "It's really true that a higher-ranking official can crush a person. It seems that he will never hear the name of brother-in-law in his lifetime."
"You too, get out of here. Don't disturb me on my big day."
