Today, Han Bin got off work on time. He bought some cold dishes, duck neck, pig's feet, pig's ears, and tripe.
Duck neck was Wang Ting's favorite. It was slightly spicy.
Mom loved pig's feet. They were rich in collagen and were good for beautifying.
Pig's ears were Dad's favorite. They went well with alcohol.
Han Bin loved tripe. He could eat it cold or stir-fry it with chili.
At half past six, Han Bin arrived at his house.
The moment he opened the door, he smelled something. It smelled like fish stew.
Han Bin walked to the entrance of the dining room and saw Wang Ting, Wang Huifang, and Han Weidong sitting at the dining table making dumplings.
"Hey, son, you're back!" Wang Huifang got up and walked over. She looked at Han Bin carefully. "I haven't seen you for two months. Why do I feel like you've gotten fatter?"
Han Bin laughed. "Mom, I'm stunned. Other people's mothers say that their sons have gotten thinner. You're great. I don't know what to say."
Han Weidong said, "It's probably because Wang Ting cooks for you every day. It would be strange if you got thinner."
Han Bin could only change the topic. "What did you make in the pot? It smells so good. "
Wang Ting said, "Didn't you say you wanted to buy cold dishes? I stewed a fish, cucumber, and spinach with vermicelli. Auntie knows you like dumplings, so she made dumplings with three delicacies. "
"There's quite a lot of food. Any more and we won't be able to finish it." Han Bin took out the cold dishes and put them on a plate to cool.
"Do you need my help?"
Wang Ting said, "No need. Go take a shower first."
When Han Bin came out of the shower, the dumplings were already in the pot. Wang Ting cooked the dumplings while his mom started setting up the bowls and chopsticks. Han Weidong sat at the side, peeling garlic.
Han Bin took out a bottle of white wine. "Dad, I'll drink with you later."
"I hope it won't affect your work."
"I told the leader on the way back. It's fine to drink a little."
Han Weidong smiled. "Alright. It's a waste not to drink such good food."
Han Bin opened the bottle and poured two glasses of white wine.
The father and son clinked glasses.
Han Weidong ate a mouthful and asked, "Son, how's your work at the provincial office? Is it going well? "
"It's alright, just that I travel a lot. I've been here for more than two months, and I've investigated three cases. Most of the time, I've been out of town. "
"What kind of cases have you been working on? Tell me about it." Every basic police officer had a yearning for the provincial police station, and Han Weidong was no exception.
Although Han Weidong had a certain rank, he had never left Qin Island since he became a police officer. The Provincial Police Department was like thunder to him, but it seemed to be separated by a layer of curtain, giving him an inexplicable sense of mystery.
Since the case was solved, there was no need to keep it a secret.
Han Bin organized his thoughts. "On the first day I came to the provincial office, I took over a series of forced indecency cases. Although it wasn't a serious case, it had a bad influence. There were two copycat cases in Island.
However, this case wasn't difficult and was solved very quickly.
At the end of July, I took over another roving robbery and murder case, which spanned across Quancheng, Weizhou, and Zaoqiang. They committed more than a dozen crimes, including four robberies and injuring people, and two robberies and murders. They are a group of vicious criminals. "
Speaking of this, Han Bin clinked glasses with his father, drank half a glass of wine, and continued, "During the arrest process, another team member was injured. Fortunately, the injury is not serious, and he should be able to be discharged in a few days."
Wang Huifang was also listening carefully. She couldn't help but say, "Work is more important. Safety is more important. You must be careful."
"I'll keep that in mind. Now, I'm in charge of commanding missions. I'm rarely on the frontline." Han Bin said.
Wang Huifang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "That's right. You're a leader now. You should give the opportunity to your colleagues."
Han Weidong frowned. "Don't interrupt me. Listen to your son."
Wang Huifang glanced at him and said unhappily, "What do you mean by interrupting? What I said isn't important. I'm just worried about our son."
"It's important. I'm the one who interrupted." Han Weidong quickly raised his hands in surrender.
After nearly thirty years of marriage, he had come to the conclusion that arguing with a woman wouldn't do him any good.
First of all, the chances of winning were low. Secondly, winning might not be a good thing.
It was more likely to be the start of the Cold War.
"Ahem …" Han Bin coughed and changed the topic. "Dad, do you know what we found in the robbers' house?"
"What is it?" Han Weidong asked.
"The robbers kept a lot of pigeons in one of their strongholds. At that time, I was a little puzzled. Why did they keep so many pigeons? Could it be that they were a pigeon lover? But these robbers were vicious and greedy. They didn't look like people who had the leisure to do that.
I carefully examined these pigeons and found that many of them had a special small package on their backs. It seemed like they were used to carry something. At first, I guessed that they were carrier pigeons, but usually carrier pigeons are tied to their legs. I've never seen pigeons tied to their backs. "
Wang Ting's curiosity was also piqued. "Don't keep us guessing. What is it?"
Han Bin said, "We carefully searched the robbers' hideout and found a small package of drugs in a safe. It was the same size as the small package on the pigeon's back. We speculated that the pigeons were probably used to transport drugs.
Then, we interrogated the robbers separately, which proved our speculation. This group of desperadoes not only robbed but also had a drug distribution channel. Then, we cooperated with the anti-drug team to investigate this drug distribution case.
We just closed the case last week, and we're almost done with the procedures here. The rest is the anti-drug team's job. "
Han Weidong took a sip of wine and sighed. "Using pigeons to transport drugs. I can't believe they thought of using pigeons to transport drugs. The cases handled by the provincial department are indeed difficult, but it's also an opportunity for promotion. "
"The dumplings are ready."
Wang Huifang walked over with the dumplings. "Don't drink too much. We have business to attend to later."
Han Weidong took the dumplings. "I know, I know. It won't take long."
Han Bin asked, "Mom, what else do you want?"
"We'll talk after dinner."
The four of them sat down and started eating the dumplings. The dumplings with the three delicacies were Han Bin's favorite, and he ate at least two plates.
After dinner, the bottle of white wine was finished. Han Weidong also became more talkative. "Son, work hard. You'll definitely be more successful than me in the future."
Wang Huifang smiled. "Don't talk about the future. I'm more capable than you now. People used to call me the Superintendent's wife when they saw me. Now, they call me Captain Han's mother. You're no longer popular. "
Han Weidong's expression was a little complicated. He looked a little lonely and a little proud. He picked up the glass and drank it.
It was all in the wine.
After dinner, Han Bin asked his parents to rest while he rushed to wash the dishes.
Han Bin and Wang Ting were cleaning up in the kitchen. Han Weidong and Wang Huifang were whispering outside. No one knew what they were discussing.
After working for more than 20 minutes, Han Bin finally finished washing the dishes. He was not the kind of person who would help with the chores. He would also help with the chores, but his speed was slower.
As time went by, Wang Ting did not like to let him do it.
In her words, she felt anxious just looking at it.
Han Bin wondered if he should buy a dishwasher in the future so Wang Ting would not have to work so hard.
After cleaning up, Wang Ting cut a fruit plate and brought it out. "Uncle, Auntie, have some fruit."
Han Bin also brewed a pot of green tea. He had not seen his parents for so long and wanted to have a good chat with them tonight.
Seeing Han Bin and Wang Huifang come out, Han Weidong and Wang Huifang tacitly stopped talking.
Han Bin felt that something was wrong, but he was not in a hurry to ask. They brewed tea and poured four cups.
Wang Huifang took a sip of tea to moisten her throat. Then, she looked at Han Bin and Wang Ting. "Son, we're not only here to visit you. We also have something to do."
Han Bin put down the teacup. "What is it?"
"Your father and I are thinking that you won't be able to return to Qin Island in the short term now that your job in the provincial office is stable. You might even settle down in Quan City. You and Wang Ting have known each other for a long time and it's time for you to get married. We plan to buy a house in Quan City. "
Han Bin was a little surprised. Buying a house was not a small matter. Although he had some savings, it was still far from the down payment.
