I am a super cop

Chapter 467 The old man [asking for a monthly ticket]

"Master, are you still working here at your age?" Gu Chen was a little curious.

Although there are very few young people nowadays who do this kind of physical work, it is not enough to let an old man come to work here, right?

Gu Chenxin said, what does this company think? "

"It's okay." The old man didn't mind, patted Gu Chen on the shoulder and said, "Thank you young man, I'm a rehired temporary worker, paid by the day, some technical work, you young people don't necessarily have us skilled."

"It's true." Gu Chen didn't deny it either.

Compared with experienced masters, some young people are really inferior.

After all, people have decades of experience working day by day, and they must be more proficient in efficiency than young people.

"Then..." Seeing that Gu Chen had been staring at him, the old man was a little embarrassed and said, "Then I'll go there first if there's nothing else to do, and I'll have to look to me for the plumbing repair over there."

"Okay, I won't disturb your work, but be careful." Gu Chen took the initiative to let the passage out.

The old man left with his toolbox...

At this time, Lu Weiwei also found Gu Chen, hurried to him and said, "Junior Brother Gu, Director Zhao asked us to leave a small group of people on the scene to continue maintaining order, and the others to evacuate. What Lao Wang means is that our three groups stay behind." .”

"No problem." Gu Chen wasn't surprised, smiled and said, "It's right for the three groups to stay."

"Then let's go over there?" Lu Weiwei looked around for a week and said, "There are related companies here to repair it, so let's not get involved. The current circuit has been interrupted, and the traffic lights are out of order. Bureau Zhao means to let us go there to help Traffic police, maintain order at the scene."

"No problem." Gu Chen nodded, and followed Lu Weiwei directly to the other side of the intersection to assist the vehicles to pass safely.

It wasn't until noon that the traffic police arrived in batches to take over the assistance from the Criminal Investigation Group [-] of the Furong Sub-bureau.

Small engineering excavators have also temporarily cleaned up the damaged road surface.

Due to the old gas pipeline, it caused leakage and ignition. Therefore, the city gas company plans to check other parts of the pipeline that have safety hazards one by one to avoid secondary leakage, so the maintenance time is longer.

The interruption of the circuit in the nearby streets must also cooperate with the maintenance progress of the gas company.

Therefore, by noon, many businesses with power outages also closed their doors one after another, waiting for the call notification.

Gu Chen followed the other old and new comrades in the third group and went back to the cafeteria of the Furong branch to eat.

When the three groups arrived, other departments had already come to the end of their meals. Fortunately, Master Kong left a lot of freshly baked hot meals for the three groups.

Seeing that Gu Chen was absent-minded while eating, Lu Weiwei asked him curiously: "Junior Brother Gu, what's the matter? Are you worried?"

"It's nothing." Gu Chen smiled and said, "At the scene of the accident, I saw an elderly worker working, and I felt a little distressed."

"Isn't it normal for workers to work?" Police Officer Wang took a bite of his meal and asked vaguely, "Don't you support them if they don't work?"

"But that worker looks like he is in his 70s, and his hair is all white." Gu Chen said again.

In an instant, the dining police officers at the entire dining table were all stunned.

"Seven... over 70 years old?" He Junchao asked in disbelief: "Gu Chen, are you sure you have no misunderstanding about age? Is it true that people in their 50s have gray hair, and then I will show you Looks like he's in his 70s?"

Gu Chen shook his head: "Absolutely not. From the wrinkles on his face and his rough hands, I can tell that this is a man who is about 70 years old."

"And he also said that he was rehired temporarily, that is to say, he has already retired from the unit, and now he is just a temporary worker rehired by the employer."

"He is still working hard outside in his 70s, tsk tsk, then his children are too unfilial." He Junchao couldn't help shaking his head when he heard this.

Officer Ding put down his chopsticks, and said calmly: "What do you know? The family conditions are good, can you come out to work at such an old age? Or maybe people are too busy at home, and they work as temporary workers. Why not do it for a day? "

"Furthermore, among the young people nowadays, how many of them know how to do this kind of dirty work? I usually ask you, He Junchao, to go downstairs to carry a bucket of water, and you would scream."

It was also embarrassing to be said by Police Officer Ding, He Junchao also smiled and said: "Old Ding, so I will quit, the collapse of adults is quiet, aren't you in a bad mood those few days?"

"Brother He is in a bad mood?" Gu Chen asked him curiously.

After all, in Gu Chen's eyes, He Junchao is an optimist every day. In the busy three groups of offices, who is the happiest?Besides Lu Weiwei, there was only He Junchao.

So when He Junchao said that he was in a bad mood, Gu Chen felt that it had to be considered.

He also felt that Gu Chen was questioning, He Junchao smiled immediately and said: "I said Gu Chen, the breakdown of this adult is quiet, maybe you look like we are normal, can joke, fight, socialize, But in fact, the bad things have accumulated to a certain extent.”

"We can't cry hysterically, let alone yell like no one else is there. After all, we have to go to work tomorrow, and we have to pretend that nothing happened, so of course you can't see the other side of my bad mood."

Gu Chen didn't know if what He Junchao said was true, but it seemed reasonable, so he nodded in cooperation.

Seeing Gu Chen's approval, He Junchao clapped his hands again and said, "So, what broke the camel's back seems to be the last straw, but everyone knows that what has been endured before is already on the verge of collapse."

"It's the same with us. We have no way to vent, we can only bear with it. In the end, a little pressure and a little thing will collapse."

"The breakdown of adults like us is self-healing while breaking down."

"Yo!" Seeing He Junchao talk about nonsense, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but look at He Junchao with admiration: "But why didn't I see it?"

"Do you need to see this?" He Junchao felt amused, and continued: "So I don't want to grow up at all, maybe there is a time for homework, it is really wonderful, maybe this is society."

"Hehe." Seeing that He Junchao also began to pretend to be deep, Police Officer Wang, after lunch, dipped the corner of his mouth with a napkin and said, "Young people today are not as able to endure hardships as the older generation."

"Because I feel uncomfortable at work, I can resign at will. I change jobs again and again, and in the end I just hang out at home and eat my old age."

"Because it's hard to go to work and earn money, I feel that there is warmth at home. The old people go out to work, and the young ones stay at home."

"Look at the old man Gu Chen mentioned. He is over 70 years old and works outside, so you should complain less and be more enthusiastic about work."

Hearing Police Officer Wang's words, Lu Weiwei immediately followed suit: "That's right, complaining is useless, all you have to do is endure and look mature, haha."

"Don't make trouble, it seems like you won't go to work the day after tomorrow." He Junchao also looked at her with enigma and contempt.

Seeing that Gu Chen didn't speak, Lu Weiwei touched Gu Chen with her shoulder: "Junior Brother Gu, what's wrong? Did you think of something sad again?"

"Almost." Gu Chen also took a few mouthfuls of rice, then put down his chopsticks and said, "Seeing this old man reminds me of my childhood."

"When I was a child?" Lu Weiwei rarely heard about Gu Chen's childhood, so her eyes were straightened: "What happened to Junior Brother Gu when he was a child?"

Gu Chen smiled and said: "Seeing the old man reminds me of when I was a child, my parents started doing business after they were laid off."

"When I saw my father's eyes red because of something one day, I knew that my father was also very wronged, but he held back in order to support our family."

"So seeing that old man with calloused hands still repairing pipes in such a cold weather, to be honest, I was a little touched."

"So that's the case." Hearing what Gu Chen said, Lu Weiwei stopped joking in an instant, and said directly: "Laughing and cursing during the day, secretly saddening at night, maybe this is the true portrayal of the older generation. .”

"As we are now, especially me, we will take the initiative to ask for overtime."

"Don't look at my usual snacks in the drawer, in fact, I wake up 10 minutes earlier than the set alarm clock every day, because what wakes me up is not going to work to earn money, but how many bags of nut snacks and clothes I can earn today, so Mentality is really important."

"Haha, it seems that Senior Sister Lu is in a good mood." Gu Chen was a little bit emotional at first, but when Lu Weiwei said it, he felt less bad in an instant.

Several trainee policemen looked at each other in blank dismay, and began to discuss heatedly.

"Let's just talk about me. This year is the worst year I've ever encountered. I haven't had one before. I haven't collapsed like this before when I went to the hospital because of exhaustion from work. I hope everything will be fine next year."

"Yeah, I have to work overtime."

"Fortunately, we can get through it."

"The collapse of an adult is only in a moment, that is, the speed of self-healing cannot keep up with the speed of injury, and the moment when the whole body is injured."

"Haha, I feel that I am so difficult."

"How long has it been since you laughed unscrupulously and unscrupulously? That kind of pure, wanton body, light and unconcerned happiness, how long has it been since the last time? Can you tell me?"

"Tell you that you can share it? Everyone is the same kind of person."

"Ha ha……"

While everyone was laughing, they all looked at Gu Chen and smiled.

"Gu Chen, what do you think?" Police Officer Wang also withdrew his smile and hurriedly asked Gu Chen.

Gu Chen said with a smile: "I think the collapse of adults may never come from those sudden changes that seem to be enough to destroy their lives. They will never be knocked down by any hammer. The one who knocks them down may always be a bird." Just a buzzing mosquito."

"Haha, it's interesting." Officer Wang was quite interested in Gu Chen's views, and it seemed that this kid looked at the problem in a very different way.

After gathering in the cafeteria for a while, everyone returned to the police dormitory to take a rest. Afterwards, they will start to publicize posters in various communities, so that everyone can guard against the newly emerging fraud methods.

Due to the period from Christmas to New Year's Day, all police officers in the Furong branch must be on duty.

Therefore, all the police officers of the Furong Sub-bureau have been acting as if they don't understand the darkness during the day.

In addition to handling daily work during the day, at night, many police officers have to take the printed police anti-fraud posters to several nearby residential communities, replace the posters with bulletin boards, and remind the residents walking past to be careful. have a look.

Due to the heavy workload, it is generally divided into several groups.

Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, and Police Officer Wang's team had completed the publicity work in six communities by 09:30 in the evening.

Every time the promotional poster is replaced, a large number of residents will come to watch, so it will take some time to explain.

Ten p.m.

Gu Chen, Police Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei came to the noodle restaurant where everyone often worked the night shift for dinner.

The noodle shop here is open all night, and there are many customers who come here to eat, most of them are substitute drivers, delivery guys, and some workers who work night shifts on the construction site.

The boss is very busy...

The fried noodles in the pot flew back and forth in front of him.

When Gu Chen and the others arrived, there were still more than a dozen packed lunch boxes in front of the boss, so Gu Chen and the others found an empty seat and sat down first.

Officer Wang then went to order three beef chow mein and crockpot soup.

The noisy crowd shuttled non-stop at the intersection of this alley, and the young people who were drinking were getting better at blowing one by one.

Police officer Wang brought three pots of soup from the cooker, and waited for about ten minutes before the three hot beef fried noodles were brought to the table.

"Several police officers, please take your time. The store is a bit busy today, so you have been waiting for a long time." The owner of the noodle shop is an old acquaintance of everyone.

The chow mein usually only takes seven or eight minutes, but today it took more than double the time, so the owner of the noodle shop also came over to apologize.

Gu Chen smiled: "It's okay, by the way, boss, you are very busy in the store tonight, I have never seen you so busy before."

"That's not true." The store owner also wiped his hands with his apron, and then smiled: "Isn't the gas pipe aging during the day today?"

"It was heard that the gas had leaked into the basement where the electrical cables were contained, and then a spark ignited the gas, and then the power went out and the gas went out."

"Many businesses are closed now, and the repair work of the gas pipeline may continue until tomorrow."

"So the power supply must be tomorrow, so many work units are working overtime tonight, so there are more workers working night shifts nearby, so the business is better than usual."

As soon as the owner of the noodle shop finished speaking, a worker carrying a dozen or so fried noodles smiled at him: "Boss, I'll go first."

"Okay, let's go slowly." The owner of the noodle shop waved at him and said, "Welcome to come again next time."

Seeing the other party walking away, the noodle shop owner turned around and pointed at the other party's back and said, "See, those workers wearing reflective vests are working overtime at the accident site. There may be a bunch of people coming later."

"Isn't that great, the boss's income can be doubled today." Lu Weiwei also said with a smile.

The owner of the noodle shop rubbed his hands at Lu Weiwei, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Officer Lu, but my shop is just like this, earning 10,000+ a year to the end, I am tired, but I can still get by .”

"Haha." Officer Wang heard a little jealous, and hurriedly said: "If I retire in the future, I will come to learn how to make fried noodles from you. I heard that there is an old couple selling pancakes on West Street. I bought two suites."

"Haha, that's possible, I've heard about it too." The owner of the noodle shop is also not humble, after all, this is also labor income.

If you want to buy two suites, you can imagine how many pancakes are sold every day.

At this time, an old man wearing a reflective vest with some dirt on his body walked into the store.

He looked at the price tag posted on the wall, then turned to the boss and said, "Five servings of beef chow mein, hurry up."

"Okay, eat here or take away?" the noodle shop owner asked.

"Take it away." The old man said.

"Okay, then you sit here first, and I'll fry it for you right away." The owner of the noodle shop turned around and went to the back kitchen.

Only then did Gu Chen notice that this old man was the one he had met during the day.

After looking around in the store, the old man seemed to notice three uniformed policemen on one side of the corner.

Especially after looking at each other with Gu Chen, he seemed familiar, so he squinted his eyes again.

Gu Chen waved his hand to greet him: "Master, we meet again."

"Oh, so you are the police comrade who maintained order at the scene of the gas pipeline rupture during the day?" The old man seemed to recognize Gu Chen, so he walked forward with a hunchback, and chose the seat next to Gu Chen's table first. sit down.

"What? You still need to work the night shift?" Gu Chen asked.

The old man smiled and said, "The wages for the night shift are high. Besides, you can't do without me on the construction site over there. Without me, young people can't do anything."

"Haha." Seeing that the old man spoke confidently, Lu Weiwei couldn't help giving a thumbs up and said, "Then you are really good."

"I'm old, and I won't be able to do it in a year or two." The old man waved his hand, and also picked up the paper towel on the table to wipe the table, and then wiped his oily hands.

Gu Chen left his seat, took a pot of soup from a crockpot and put it in front of the old man, and said, "I invite you."

"This...isn't that good?" The old man was a little surprised, he never thought that Gu Chen would treat himself to a pot of soup.

"Take it and drink it quickly, don't let it get cold." Gu Chen pushed the crock pot of soup in front of him, and then sat back on his seat.

The old man also said "hey" and said thank you, so he started to drink the crock pot soup, and couldn't help but make a "tsk tsk" sound of satisfaction in his mouth.

Gu Chen also looked down at his watch and said, "It's getting late, and it's time for us to get off work."

"Okay, let's call it a day." Police Officer Wang also checked the time.

Lu Weiwei stood up directly, took out her mobile phone to pay.

Since the meal funds of the three groups are temporarily kept by Lu Weiwei, Lu Weiwei looks like an accountant.

Compared with Police Officer Wang, Gu Chen is more like a duo who eat soft food.

After all, the owner of the noodle shop only saw Lu Weiwei paying the money every time, so it was inevitable that he would have such thoughts.

"Elder, take your time, let's go first." Gu Chen also greeted him.

The old man smiled and nodded...

It was only after seeing Gu Chen and others left that he breathed a sigh of relief.
