It was the weekend.
Han Bin was resting at home.
In the past, when Han Bin went to work, Wang Ting would wake up to make breakfast for him. Today, Han Bin was resting at home, so he let Wang Ting sleep in.
Before going to bed at night, Han Bin thought about what to eat the next morning. He only made a few dishes at home, so Han Bin prepared to go out and buy them.
At eight in the morning, Han Bin went downstairs to buy food. At this time, it was already the second half of November. The temperature was close to zero degrees, especially in the morning and evening, it would be colder.
Compared to the warm house, it was especially cold outside.
Han Bin went to a small restaurant nearby and bought a tray of soup dumplings, two fried dough sticks, a tea egg, a bowl of tofu pudding, a bowl of soy milk, and a small portion of pickled vegetables.
Breakfast was very sumptuous, but Wang Ting didn't eat much. The rest was Han Bin's.
After the meal, the two didn't go out. They stayed on the sofa and watched TV.
Recently, there was a good American drama. Wang Ting liked it, so she recommended it to Han Bin.
Han Bin watched one episode and felt that it was not bad. He followed Wang Ting to watch the drama. The two of them discussed the plot together. It was very interesting.
At noon, the two of them prepared to eat barbecue.
Yesterday, after work, Han Bin bought the ingredients for barbecue. Pork belly, lamb, chives, mushrooms, chicken wings, eggplant, oysters, and scallops. Such good food naturally deserved a drink. Han Bin also opened a bottle of red wine.
The cold weather was very suitable for barbecue. However, the heat in the house was on and the temperature was very high. A few days ago, it was 28 or 29 degrees. Han Bin turned off half of the heat. Now, it was around 25 or 26 degrees. This temperature was more comfortable. Han Bin could wear half-sleeves at home.
However, it was relatively cold on the balcony. It was less than 20 degrees.
Han Bin prepared to barbecue on the balcony. Firstly, it was cooler and it would feel better to eat barbecue. More importantly, it was convenient for ventilation. If he ate barbecue in the house, the smell of barbecue would be everywhere. It was much more convenient on the balcony. He could just open the window to disperse the smell and it wouldn't affect the house.
Han Bin set up the grill and placed the ingredients on the grill. He drank the red wine as he roasted the meat.
Wang Ting turned on her tablet and watched the show while eating the barbecue. This feeling was very satisfying and comfortable.
Han Bin enjoyed the time when the two of them were alone. It was a rare moment of leisure.
Han Bin roasted the streaky pork first, which had a lot of oil. He didn't need to add oil to the other ingredients. The streaky pork was charred and tasted good.
Han Bin's favorite food was roasted mutton. The mutton was hand-cut, thick and chewy.
Wang Ting liked to eat grilled scallops with garlic sauce and vermicelli. It tasted great.
Today, they had plenty of time. The two of them ate barbecued meat, watched dramas, and chatted leisurely.
As he spoke, he mentioned Wang Ting's parents.
Han Bin said, "Tingting, we've known each other for so long, but I haven't visited Uncle and Auntie yet. I always feel that it's a little inconsiderate. Why don't we pick a good day and go?"
Wang Ting thought for a while. "You're so busy. Can you tell me the time?"
"How about next week? It shouldn't be a problem for me to apply for leave in advance."
Wang Ting nodded. "That's fine too."
Seeing that Wang Ting had agreed, Han Bin was a little nervous. "That … What are we going to buy then?"
Wang Ting said nonchalantly, "I don't lack anything at home. A fruit basket will do."
"That won't do. It's not a matter of lack. It's my first time going, so I have to show my sincerity. I have to prepare a gift carefully." To Han Bin, the gift didn't have to be expensive, but it had to be sincere. It wasn't sincere to Wang Ting's parents, but sincere to Wang Ting.
The degree of a man's sincerity to his girlfriend's parents mostly depended on his girlfriend. To put it bluntly, if you cared about your girlfriend, you would care about her parents, and vice versa.
Wang Ting blinked her big eyes and said mischievously, "Then what do you want to buy? Tell me about it. "
Han Bin smiled bitterly. "Tingting, you know I'm not good at this. Why don't you give me some advice on what Uncle and Auntie like?"
"My dad likes to play Go. My mom likes to go shopping and buy clothes."
Han Bin took a sip of red wine. "It'll be easier if you know what Uncle and Auntie like. However, you'll have to put in some effort to help Auntie buy clothes. I don't know what Auntie likes. "
"No problem. I often go shopping with her. I know better than her what kind of clothes she likes."
"That's settled then. You're responsible for preparing Auntie's gift. I'll pay for it. Leave Uncle's gift to me. "
"Don't tell me you want to buy a Go set for my dad?" Wang Ting guessed subconsciously.
"He should like it, right?"
"This … I'm not sure. He likes Go. If you buy it, he should be happy. But do you know how to play? " Wang Ting asked. "If you buy a Go set that he likes, what will you do if he becomes addicted to playing Go and asks you to play with him?"
Han Bin scratched his head. This was really a problem. He knew how to play Xiangqi, but he had never played Go before.
"Do you know how to play? Why don't you teach me? "
Wang Ting spread her hands. "I only know the rules of Go, but I don't know how to play. How can I teach you?"
Han Bin felt that what Wang Ting said made sense. Buying a Go set could only make Wang Ting's father happy for a while. Only by knowing how to play Go could he win the favor of his future father-in-law.
…
The next morning, Han Bin went to the Municipal Public Security Bureau with a panda eye.
After making up his mind yesterday afternoon, Han Bin began to learn Go. First, he asked Wang Ting to teach him the rules of Go, and then he began to read online textbooks.
By nightfall, he had more or less figured it out.
Han Bin dragged Wang Ting to play three games of Go. He lost the first two games and won the third one.
As he played, Han Bin also found the feeling. This Go was quite interesting.
Wang Ting's skills were very average. She really couldn't teach Han Bin anything. Han Bin downloaded a software to play Go. He didn't expect to be addicted to it. He played until one o 'clock in the evening before going to bed. He was listless when he woke up in the morning.
Han Bin yawned. He was now only a beginner. If he wanted to confidently say that he knew how to play Go, he still had to learn for a while.
At 9: 30 in the morning, Ding Xifeng called everyone for a meeting. The entire Second Platoon attended the meeting except for Platoon Leader Ma Jingbo.
Ding Xifeng entered the meeting room with a teacup and glanced at everyone. "Everyone is here. Let's start."
"I want to talk about two things today. The first is the 117 Impersonating Police Robbery case has been successfully solved. The impact of this case was very bad. The higher-ups paid special attention to it. For us to solve the case in such a short time, the higher-ups gave us high praise and gave us a collective second-class merit. At the same time, every police officer who participated in the case will receive an additional bonus."
Hearing this, everyone showed an excited look. Not only can they get merit, but they can also get a bonus. Who wouldn't be happy?
They risked their lives and worked hard to investigate the case. Wasn't it for this day?
"The second thing is about your Captain Ma. His injury has been stabilized, but the injury can't be healed in a short time. He still needs to rest and recuperate in peace. He can't continue to be responsible for the work of the team. The higher-ups have decided to arrange an acting squadron leader to be responsible for the daily work of Second Platoon. "
Ding Xifeng looked at Han Bin. "The position of acting squadron leader will be temporarily taken over by Han Bin. Han Bin, you say a few words to everyone."
Although everyone thought of this possibility and knew that Han Bin was a strong competitor in the platoon. But after officially hearing the news, it was inevitable that they were a little surprised.
Most people showed a look of joy. Having a familiar person as a leader was better than transferring a stranger.
Moreover, Han Bin was popular in Second Platoon. Everyone was still quite supportive of him.
As for Second Platoon Leader Zhu Jiaxu, he didn't have the slightest dissatisfaction. The last time he competed with Han Bin for deputy squadron leader, he had already lost and lost the qualification to compete with Han Bin.
Now that Han Bin was promoted to squadron leader, it was actually a good thing for him.
Once Han Bin officially became the acting squadron leader, he naturally wouldn't have to hold the title of deputy squadron leader. By then, he would also have the opportunity to advance further.
This was also the advantage of an internal promotion. If Han Bin was promoted, his position would be empty, and everyone could get a share of the soup.
