The old Fan family was full of guests and friends, all for the two sons. Fan Dong was proudly blushing and took out the treasured soft China from the counter to ask Jiang's father to smoke. Jiang's father was a decent person. He could tell at a glance that the economic status of Fu Ping'an's family was not good, but he knew very well that this was just a temporary difficulty, and the family was about to end their hardships.

Fu Dongmei greeted Li Shu: "The child goes into the house and sits there, Dongsheng comes over immediately. By the way, your mother is in good health, right?"

As he spoke, Fan Dongsheng ran over, said hello to everyone, and ran away with Li Shu.

Dad Jiang said: "Is this your second boy's girlfriend?"

Fan Dong said: "I'm still together. Dongsheng and Li Shu's family are also destined to be together. Once, he took the initiative to save Li Shu's mother on the bus. This is exactly what happened. It gave Dongsheng the motivation to apply for the police academy and it would be great to travel with his father-in-law in the future."

Dad Jiang heard the meaning of Fan Dong showing off and asked, "Is his girlfriend's father from the police?"

Fan Dong said: "Li Peiwen, from the Municipal Bureau."

Dad Jiang immediately felt awe: "The second-in-command of the Political Department of the Municipal Bureau, young and promising, will Dongsheng's career in the future be limitless."

This is not deliberately flattering by Jiang Dad. He is a businessman, has a wide range of friendships, knows Li Peiwen's name, but cannot be connected. If Jiang Yanbing and Fu Ping'an become a girl from the future, then his daughter and Li Peiwen's daughter will be sisters-in-laws. The two families can be considered to have some relative relationships. Unexpectedly, the old Fan family is so strong that everything they say in this marriage must be decided.

But it seems that there are many competitors. The girl who came in the same car that day was also there. There was also a better-looking and younger one. She didn't know what the background was. Dad Jiang was not inconvenient to ask more questions. After smoking a cigarette, he said, "Xiaobing, stay and play for a while. Your mother and I have something to do."

Fan Dong said: "Come as soon as you come, why do you still take things? Just take them back. Our family doesn't lack this."

After two symbolic pushes, the gift was naturally accepted. Jiang’s father and mother got in the car and left. Jiang Yanbing sat in the room, a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, Fu Ping'an appeared in time and saw Jiang Yanbing visiting New Year, he was a little surprised. Mu Lan, Wang Shuan, Jiang Yanbing, everyone stared at each other, not knowing what to do.

"Why don't you go out for a walk?" Fu Dongmei saw the children's embarrassment and made a suggestion.

"There are many people outside today, so I line up for everything I do," Mu Lan said.

"That's it." Jiang Yanbing agreed.

"I still have some work to finish." Wang Shuan was unwilling to go out on the streets.

Mu Lan's eyes rolled: "It's just a table to play mahjong, and the one with the lottery."

Wang Shuan said: "I don't know."

Fu Dongmei said: "I'll teach you if it's okay."

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the first table of mahjong began in Lao Fan’s small shop...

...

Life during the winter vacation is lively and comfortable. Fu Ping'an has many friends. Basically, there are dinner parties every day. People invite them every meal. They take a group of people everywhere. Three girls have to follow him. Fan Dongsheng and Li Shu also licked their faces and came to eat and drink. Four girls were stuffed on the back seat of the Audi car, and they strolled around and ate.

Old classmates and old friends are still following the original life trajectory, and Zhao Guanghui and his wife are on track. Zhao Xiaohui is already a junior high school student in a blink of an eye. He has grown from a chubby child to a pretty boy. His eyebrows are quite similar to the shadow of Pilihu back then, but his personality is much shy. It is said that his academic performance is very good, and he is admitted to a key junior high school with his ability.

Zhao Guanghui and Chen Qian are elder brothers and sisters. Fu Ping'an came to visit her for New Year's greetings, mainly playing with her peers. The main thing that maintains close relationships are high school classmates from the 2008th class. Fu Ping'an saved up a bureau and called all the students who could call them. Fan Dongsheng, Li Shu, and Jiang Yanbing were also among them. This went beyond the scope of class reunions and was upgraded to an alumni association.

There are only a few people with good relationships, including best friends Chen Kai and Sun Jiebao, class leader Kong Que, and sports student Li Gen, who only got closer after graduation, gathered together to exchange information during the Chinese New Year and take stock of last year's results.

They are all newcomers who have just graduated for less than two years and are still in the apprenticeship stage of listening to the shouts in the unit. Naturally, there are not many things worth bragging about. The topics naturally change to the topics they are most passionate about and proudest.

The story that people who are incompetent like to tell the most is: I have a friend. Sun Jiebao is such a person. His family is in trouble and he has not paid back the money he owed back then. He has been in trouble for two years and has no big prospects. He can only do some small work by relying on connections. When he entered the private room, he sat next to Kong Que, asking about his well-being, not to pursue Kong Que, but to greet Director Kong.

Kong Que's father is the director of the Finance Bureau of Huaimen City, and he has the power. Many units beg him. Although Sun Jiebao is just a small boss in a private enterprise, he deals with many state-owned enterprises. When talking about Uncle Kong at the dinner table, he would naturally have a very long face.

Chen Kai is relatively simple. His only goal in life is to take the civil service exam and get a job. Kong Zhen is the child of a director-level leader, and he is closer unknowingly.

Li Gen has changed a lot. When he was in high school, he was an arrogant and domineering rich second generation. Now he is a bank financial manager who follows the rules. He smiles in a suit and is polite to everyone.

"Li Gen, how is your dad doing now? I heard that he has taken another piece of land." Sun Jiebao said, "I don't understand why you don't inherit your family business and have to go to work."

Everyone is familiar with this joke, but they never get tired of listening to it. Li Gen said again: "A penny stumped the hero. In the financial crisis in 2008, my father was forced by the bank to almost jump off the building. He vowed to ask the bank president to call him his father, but he couldn't do it, so he had to let me enter the bank, be the president, and fulfill his dream."

Everyone laughed, and Wang Shuan leaned into Mu Lan's ear and said, "Is this called fighting for the father?"

Mu Lan curled her lips. What she hated the most was her father.

Jiang Yanbing was very adapted to this topic. She inadvertently mentioned her family background. Jiang’s father was a deputy regiment-level cadre who transferred to a business, advanced state-owned enterprise, and then started a business. Now he is also the number one figure in the business world.

"It turns out that he is Mr. Jiang's daughter." Sun Jiebao took out his business card and handed it on his hands. "A friend's company has a business relationship with Mr. Jiang. Mr. Jiang and I have had dinner. Mr. Jiang is a cheerful person, and he has no alcohol tolerance. He is bottomless."

Chen Kai said: "Why didn't your father go to the government when he was resigning?"

No one took on this inappropriate topic, and Chen Kai said to himself: "Insurance, it's a pity that you didn't conduct the Administrative Law Enforcement Bureau back then. You have an advanced position, then take a job qualification, and then take a civil servant exam, which is an advantage over others."

Sun Jiebao said: "You are wrong. You are directly admitted to the postgraduate degree after graduating from insurance, and then taking the national exam after graduating from graduate school. Maybe you are assigned to the State Council as a leader. What can the Huaimen Administrative Law Enforcement Bureau have? At the top, it is the deputy department level. In those directly affiliated units in Beijing, those who run errands are all department level."

Chen Kai said: "Beijing dare not think about it. I will be satisfied if I can reach the deputy section level in my life."

Li Shu was furious when he heard this and left the seat in the bathroom. As soon as the person left, Sun Jiebao asked: "Dongsheng, what is your girlfriend's home doing?"

Fan Dongsheng said: "Her father is from the Public Security Bureau and her mother is from the Hospital."

Sun Jiebao said: "Tsk tsk, classic combination, what is her father's position?"

Fan Dongsheng said: "Ordinary policeman."

Jiang Yanbing interrupted: "The second-in-commander of the Political Department is not an ordinary policeman, right?"

Sun Jiebao's eyes lit up: "Dongsheng, you can, your father-in-law can definitely cover you."

Fan Dongsheng smiled awkwardly: "I don't rely on him, so I don't necessarily go back to Huaimen after graduation."

Mu Lan yawned and pulled Wang Shuan to the bathroom. Wang Shuan was still stupidly preparing to come back. Mu Lan said, "Let's go, I'll take you to play. These people are too greasy and boring."

Wang Shuan said: "Their fathers are all so powerful. My father is just a farmer. Brother Ping'an's father runs a small shop and is disabled. I don't dare to speak in front of them."

Mu Lan said: "Their father is amazing, not theirs, and their father is not Havana's cigar. You can show off when you keep it on your mouth all day."

At the dinner table, Sun Jiebao's eyes rolled and said, "Insurance, what is that girl doing?"

He was referring to Wang Shuan. Fu Ping'an explained briefly. Sun Jiebao sighed and said, "Bai Chang has such a beautiful face. It's a blessing that he met you. Maybe he will be in trouble when he meets a bad person."

Without any speculation, Fu Ping'an felt that he was not on the same channel as these old classmates. The more he drank, the less delicious he tasted. After eating it, there was no follow-up program. They both parted and went home.

In addition to old classmates, Fu Ping'an has another group of friends. They are one hundred and eight generals from Shuren Middle School.

Three years have passed, and more than one hundred people are scattered all over the place. Some have become small bosses, some have gone to work in China, and some have joined the army. During the Spring Festival, most people go back to their hometowns for the New Year. Fu Ping'an raised his arms and shouted, and he could reach 70 or 80 people.

The students ordered ten tables of meals in the hotel, and there were banners from Shuren Middle School’s class reunion at the door. Fan Dongsheng was also one of the 108 generals. He brought Li Shu to see his circle of friends.

"These are all my brothers." Fan Dongsheng whispered, "It's available in all walks of life, and will be my informant in the future."

"It feels like the Hongxing Society is holding a conference." Li Shu looked around and looked around. This scene really reminds some shots in Hong Kong films.

Among these special students, Zhou Jianliang is the most promising one. On the table where the dinner party was held, he took out a red box, which contained a second-class military medal.

"I thought I would take this to my father Pi when I visited the prison." Zhou Jianliang said that he was a soldier who joined the army in the fall of 2011. He was taken to the northwest by a car. After two years of service, he has now been transferred to a non-commissioned officer. As for what troops and troops he is in, he doesn't mention at all.

But Fu Ping'an could tell from Zhou Jianliang's sharp eyes and calluses on his hands that he was not an ordinary person, and this second-class skill was not achieved through hard training.

Piaget was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder case that year. Students would visit prison as long as they had the opportunity. After 108 generals graduated, none of them embarked on the road of crime. They had to admit that it was Piaget's credit.

Fu Ping'an raised his glass: "We toast daddy for the first glass of wine."

A small wooded arm raised: "Dad Jingpi."

...

The happy Spring Festival holiday was soon over. Mu Lan was going to return to work. Zhou Jianliang also returned to the army after the vacation. Fu Ping'an drove them to the train station. He parked the car in the underground parking lot of the train station, and helped Mu Lan carry her suitcase and ask to take her to the station.

"Stop sending me, I'll take care of my sister-in-law." Zhou Jianliang jokingly said.

Fu Ping'an said: "It's because you are here that I want to give it away."

Mu Lan laughed: "What's wrong? I'm afraid I'll be kidnapped by Xiao Zhou."

The three of them walked into the square in front of the station. The people returning to work were bustling in the square. In the dark corners, several people with high noses and concave eyes stared at the crowd with bloodshot eyes, like wolves.

A faint cold light flashed in their luggage.
