Liu Meng dragged Xia Chen out of the hotel and wandered aimlessly on the road. Only when she found a barbecue vendor by the roadside did she stop. Then, for at least half an hour, the barbecue vendor was roasting meat for Liu Meng, and the speed at which he roasted meat could not compare to Liu Meng's speed at eating meat.
He hadn't eaten dinner in the summer, so he was waiting to eat Liu Meng's white steamed buns.
"Little Scoundrel, I'm full. Take me to a fun place to play!" However, Liu Meng didn't have any plans to give him a steamed bun in the summer right now.
Xia Chen couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, "Sister Meng, there's nothing fun here!"
"Liar, you definitely don't want to take me to play!" Liu Meng was immediately unhappy, "Little Scoundrel, if you don't take me to play, I won't give you a steamed bun later!"
He did want to eat Big Sister Meng's steamed buns, but it wasn't that he didn't want to take her to play. The problem was that he didn't think this place was fun, so where should he take her to play?
After thinking about it, Xia Chen finally thought of a place, and that was the square he went to at noon. Although that place wasn't fun, he couldn't think of a better place, so he decided to take Liu Meng there for a stroll. If she didn't think it was fun, then he would think of another way.
Although the weather was quite cold, the square was still quite lively at night. In the middle of the square, there was a fountain playing music, and there were many people walking and dancing in the square. Most of them were adults playing with children in the square, and there were many vendors around the square, but most of them were selling toys.
Although Liu Meng wasn't too interested in this square, she was obviously very interested in those little toys. She immediately dragged him to buy a bunch of different toys, and then started to play happily in the square, just like those children who were a few years old. It seemed like she hadn't played with these toys much when she was young.
Xia Chen was also happy. It seemed like he would be able to eat a hot and soft steamed bun tonight as he wished.
Looking at the time, it was already ten o'clock in the evening. Yun Qing subconsciously looked at the door and felt a little disappointed. He probably wouldn't be able to accompany her tonight.
"Elder sister, brother-in-law won't be coming. Can I accompany you to sleep?" Shi Jun pulled Yun Qing and yawned. This little girl was already very sleepy.
"Okay, let's go to sleep." Yun Qing nodded. Of course, she knew that Shi Quan did not want to sleep with her, but Shi Quan wanted her to.
"Uncle Shi, we'll go to bed first." Yun Qing said to Shi Chang Geng before pulling Shi Jun upstairs.
At this moment, the doorbell rang. Shi Xiaohu got up and went to open the door. Very quickly, he brought in a man in his thirties. This man had a medium build and gave off a very capable feeling. When he saw Shi Chang Geng, he immediately greeted him politely, "Director Shi."
"Oh, it's Director Hong. Have a seat." Shi Chang Geng's tone was very calm, and then he waved his hand, "Xiao Hu, Xiumei, you guys go rest as well. Director Hong told me to greet you."
"Yes, Uncle Geng." Shi Xiaohu and Yun Xiumei quickly left, leaving only Shi Chang Geng and the man who had just entered in the living room.
However, this man had yet to sit down. He looked a little terrified, "Director Shi, please don't call me that. If you call me that, I really won't dare to sit."
"You are now the Deputy Chief, acting Chief. It is only right for me to call you Chief Hong. You have to be worthy of this title, otherwise, how can you lead the hundreds of police officers in Mu Yang County?" Shi Chang Geng said calmly.
"Director Shi, I know you're angry at me. Ever since your accident, I haven't said anything or done anything, but, Director Shi, it's not that I don't want to say or do anything, but I've always followed your teachings. You once said that if something happens to you, I won't speak up for you no matter what, because only then can I truly help you. As long as I continue to sit firmly in my position, I can help you take care of your daughter, so I only came to find you now." The man said sincerely.
Hearing these words, a strange light flashed across Shi Chang Geng's eyes. He slowly stood up and brought over a bottle of wine and two cups, "Come, Little Hong, drink with me."
"Yes, Director Shi." Hearing this familiar form of address, Little Hong finally relaxed, "Come, Director Shi, I'll help you pour the wine."
The two of them sat down facing each other. Shi Chang Geng did not decline and gave the wine to Little Hong. Then, he slowly said, "Little Hong, I'm no longer the bureau chief, so don't call me Director Shi in the future. It's not good if others hear it."
"But, Director Shi …" Little Hong was stunned, wanting to say something.
Shi Chang Geng waved his hand, "Little Hong, do you know? We are actually very similar, so I have always thought highly of you and spent a lot of effort to nurture you. Neither of us are from Mu Yang County, we are all from other places, and we are all from different places. Back then, I graduated from the police academy, and you are also a top student in the criminal investigation department of the University of Political Science and Law. In a small place like Mu Yang County, there are very few people like us who come to the police, so I understand that you are the same as me, you do not have any background, otherwise, we would not have come to such a place. "
After pausing for a moment, Shi Chang Geng continued, "Little Hong, I am almost twenty years older than you, and I have always treated you as my nephew. If you really think highly of this old man who is about to pass away, then call me Uncle Geng."
"Yes, Uncle Geng." Little Hong quickly agreed. "Shaohui will always remember Uncle Geng's care for me. Therefore, I don't dare to forget Uncle Geng's teachings. I also always remember Uncle Geng's words. We can be law-breaking policemen, but we can't be policemen who go against our conscience."
"It's good that you remember." Shi Chang Geng nodded, picked up his wine cup and downed it in one gulp, "In the past few decades, I, Shi Chang Geng, have done many illegal things, but I, Shi Chang Geng, have always had a clear conscience, because I am worthy of my own conscience. I also hope that you can always be worthy of your own conscience, what you should do, and what you shouldn't do, you have to be clear."
"Uncle Geng, I will remember, but even though Uncle Geng has taught me a lot, I am still not as good as Uncle Geng. In the future, I'm afraid I will have a lot of things to ask Uncle Geng, but I don't know if Uncle Geng thinks that I will disturb you like this?" Hong Shaohui's tone carried a hint of a probing tone.
