Chapter 263 Neighborhood
"Dui Le, mom, you don't have to worry about my marriage. I have already found someone and got the certificate today." Wang Dongyao chatted with his mother while eating steamed buns.
"Huh!? That's not when you started dating this girl. What's her family background?" asked Wang Hu.
She knew that her son had high standards and wondered which girl he was dating.
"We knew each other in our previous life."
"You're just telling your mother nonsense." Wang Hu complained.
Wang Dongyao shook his head. No one would believe the truth, so he just left it vague.
Then start talking about family composition.
"My grandfather's generation was lower-middle peasants, and they joined the Red Army. Later, my father also joined the Red Army. Now we live in a building."
"Hey, how could that person like you?" Wang Hu said with disdain.
"Why don't you like it? This is the new China, and we value free love," said Wang Dongyao.
"Yes, yes, yes..." Wang Hu said perfunctorily.
While the mother and daughter were bickering, Wang Dongyao finished eating the steamed bread.
"Okay, Mom, just pick a good day and go propose formally. Just keep it simple. We already have the certificate anyway."
"I'm going to bed."
Wang Dongyao had a dreamless night and got up at the sound of the cock-crow. After practicing the Huashan sleeping technique all night, he felt refreshed and full of energy.
After practicing iron sand clothes for a while and having breakfast with his family, Wang Dongyao packed his equipment and rode away on his bicycle.
He first went to the daily necessities store to buy a small bundle of thin hemp ropes, and then Wang Dongyao rode his bicycle to the police station.
This thin hemp rope was carefully selected by Wang Dongyao. It was made by a time-honored brand and has pretty good quality. It is very suitable for binding or other activities.
When Wang Dongyao arrived, Lei Dianying had already been there for quite a while and was getting familiar with various tasks under the guidance of Director Li.
Wang Dongyao found Deputy Director Liu as usual, and Wang Dongyao also learned Deputy Director Liu's name, Liu Er.
Hmm, a name that has a very retro feel.
Two smokers gathered together to smoke.
Deputy Director Liu said with a gloating look: "With my background, there is basically no possibility for me to go further, but that person is worthy of being called the Southeast Queen Flower. She learns things so quickly. I think Old Li will be emptied out this morning."
"I think our training levels are very average. Even among those retired soldiers, few of them can fight. Only Captain Li and Captain Liu are good enough."
"Old Li was a scout soldier. I heard that he also learned from a Northwest swordsman in his early years. He has very strong skills. I, Old Liu, am far behind him. I am just a boxer."
"Which one are you from?"
"I can't say master, I can only say master's master. My master's master is Li Shuwen."
"There is no better fist than the other. You are from a famous family too."
"Hey, it's not a true disciple, I just learned boxing from him, how can it be considered as coming from a famous family? Those who are truly disciples are the most powerful, but they are all from another circle."
Wang Dongyao understood immediately that he had entered the circle of extraordinary people again.
"By the way, aren't you planning to join that circle?" Since Old Liu has no hope for a career in politics, why doesn't he practice martial arts?
"I'm old now , so I just need to learn boxing to keep fit, and that circle is not peaceful either." Old Liu crushed his cigarette butt and said, "By the way, what school are you from?"
"Hey~ I don't have any school or sect. It's only recently that I asked my father-in-law for a set of Iron Sand Robe and King Kong Pai to practice." Wang Dongyao said.
"These are all individual skills. These two skills consume medicinal materials. If you don't have medicinal materials, you'd better not practice them, otherwise you will be useless." Lao Liu lit another cigarette.
"I know the severity of this. Look at my hand."
Wang Dongyao took out a flying knife from his cloth bag and flew it on his palm continuously, making people dizzy.
Old Liu was so frightened that he couldn't even hold the cigarette steady. He lowered his voice and asked, "Are you from the Death Sect martial arts?"
"Born from the Death Clan" refers to a background as an assassin, which is one of the local slangs. If Wang Dongyao hadn't been on the streets before, he wouldn't have known it.
The "shengzimen" refers to petty thefts that steal money but do not kill people. Of course, there are also some other low-level jobs that all involve dealing with strangers.
The Death Clan deals with the dead. In addition to killers and assassins, there are also poisoners, coroners, and coffin bearers.
"No, I'm just practicing for fun." Wang Dongyao put away the flying knife.
"Your hands don't look like something you would just play with."
Seeing Lao Liu's expression of "do you think I believe it or not", Wang Dongyao said helplessly, "I can't run away, let's just wait and see."
At noon, Wang Dongyao followed Lei Dianying back to Lei's house for lunch, and then returned to familiarize himself with his work.
But just like Lao Liu said, Lao Li no longer had anything to teach. Lei Dianying learned too quickly, so after a quick lesson he took everyone to the warehouse to count the supplies.
Old Liu had nothing to do, so he wandered around with Wang Dongyao and went to the warehouse.
"Sister Zhao, you're here! ~" Old Liu greeted Sister Zhao.
"Oh, Old Li said he would bring the new director to see the warehouse today, so I have been guarding here. I asked Xiaobao to bring Jianguo back." Sister Zhao's name is Zhao Yaping. Her husband is an old Red Army soldier who died before the founding of the People's Republic of China. Sister Zhao herself was also a member of the Women's Army. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, she settled in Peiping and changed her career with her child. Her son is called Zheng Jianguo, he is ten years old and is in elementary school.
Xiao Bao is a clerk who lives in the front yard. His name is Bao Tong and he lives with his younger brother Bao Bu Tong, who is eleven years old. The two children go to the same school and usually go to and from school together.
There was another family in the front yard, belonging to a patrolman named Li. This family had a bad background and this yard originally belonged to them. Later, when the Red Army entered the city, their family donated their property. When the police station was built nearby, they also donated their last old house.
Only a portion of the front yard remains.
His family has as many as seven or eight people. His parents are Li Hai'an and Li Ye. He has an older brother named Li Weiguo who is a teacher in a middle school. He married a wife named Gong Lanfeng who works in a supply and marketing cooperative. They have a child.
The patrolman surnamed Li is called Li Weimin. He is not married yet and has a younger sister who is now in high school and usually does not come back home, so this house is just big enough for him to live in and there is even some space left for a storage room.
Deputy Director Liu introduced several families in the yard to Wang Dongyao.
As expected of someone with a background in intelligence, the introduction is really detailed.
Although he didn't say it, he probably knew what everyone was good at and whether there were ghosts or not.
As expected, Deputy Director Liu said at the end: "This is a smart person. I have investigated him. Apart from being a low-key person, I have not found any major problems. His family education is also very good."
Although Wang Dongyao felt that this family must have some secrets, he had no intention of delving into it. He and Lao Liu just sat there watching the bricklayer repair the roof and tidy up the house.
