Rebooting the Peak Years of 1985

Chapter 42
"Anyway, I always thought this guy seemed like a good guy. Please pay more attention to him in the future. I'll leave first."

After Feng Weizhi finished speaking, he stood up and left Wu De and the others.

Chen Huajiang saw all this.

They didn't know what Feng Weizhi said to Wu De, but he felt that there must be nothing good going on.

Another day passed. After Chen Huajiang and the others packed their things, they headed home.

Chen Huajiang had to go through a dark path to get to the place where he lived.

When he just reached the intersection, he noticed the quarrel and Chen Huajiang ran over.

He saw some gangsters surrounding a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old.

"Lele, where's the money I asked you to get? Didn't you say you would give us 20? You haven't gotten it after so many days. Do you not want to hang out anymore?"

The leader was a man who seemed to be in a bad mood.

"I...my dad didn't give me any money. I'll give it to you in a few days, okay?"

The little boy inside is a little timid. It seems that he has been bullied for a long time.

Chen Huajiang couldn't figure out why his parents weren't worried when such a little boy didn't go home at night.
"We can't take care of that. If you don't give us money today, we will beat you up."

The leader said, getting ready to take action.

"Why are you arguing so late at night? Why are you bullying a child?"

Chen Huajiang shouted and walked over.

When the little boy saw someone coming, he immediately ran to Chen Huajiang.

"Uncle, please save me! They robbed me several times."

Lele stood behind Chen Huajiang with a look of fear on his face.

This era is indeed a bit chaotic.

"Who the hell are you? Get out of our way. Believe it or not, I'll beat you too."

The other party said very arrogantly.

Chen Huajiang smiled and still persuaded them.

"You are so old, what's the point of trying to find a job and robbing a child?"

The leader walked up to Chen Huajiang and slapped him without saying a word.

The next second, he froze.

Chen Huajiang directly grabbed the arm he waved over, and his wrist was tightly grasped by Chen Huajiang.

The leader suddenly felt like an iron clamp had clamped on his hand, unable to move at all.

Chen Huajiang then gave a simple flick, and the leader took a few steps back.

"Brothers, come on, beat me to death."

All the gangsters rushed over.

In Chen Huajiang's eyes, these people are completely worthless.

Chen Huajiang knocked out these gangsters instantly with a punch here and a kick there.

When the leader saw this, he was instantly shocked.

Chen Huajiang walked up to him, pointed at him and shouted: "If you let me see you again next time, don't run away, I will take you to the police station."

These little gangsters immediately became timid when they heard about the police station.

"Brother, we know we were wrong. We will never dare to do it again. Please let us go!"

Everyone was begging Chen Huajiang.

Chen Huajiang waved his hand, and all these people ran away quickly.

He looked back at Lele and asked, "Where do you live? I'll take you back."

"It's not far away."

Lele pointed in a direction.

Chen Huajiang sent Lele back. Judging from Lele's clothes, the conditions at home should be considered good.

It's just not clear why he lives in this place.

As soon as I arrived, I saw a man and a woman running out of the yard.

"When did this kid run away? Fortunately, I woke up and found that he was gone."

"Stop talking and go find him quickly."

This looks like Lele’s parents.

As soon as he walked to the door, he saw Chen Huajiang coming back with Lele.

The couple was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly hugged Lele and asked him what he was doing.
"The child is so old? You should be careful. He was almost beaten by a few gangsters just now."

Chen Huajiang said casually.

A man and a woman looked at him strangely. Only then did Lele tell the truth.

Lele has a bit of insomnia and has been under a lot of pressure from studying recently.

I couldn't sleep at night, so I was going to go out for a walk, but I met those gangsters.

He has encountered them before, but he has been avoiding them recently.

Those gangsters were used to asking him for money. When they met Lele, they surrounded him.

"Little brother, thank you. If it weren't for you, my son would probably not know what he would be like now. What's your name? Do you live near here too?"

Lele's father held Chen Huajiang's hand and asked hurriedly.

"My home is in front. I just came back from get off work and passed by."

"You work the night shift at Hongqi Factory? There are people who work the night shift only there, not elsewhere."

Indeed, only Hongqi Factory nearby has people working the night shift. Without Chen Huajiang, their business would not be so good.

"I opened a snack bar at the entrance of Hongqi Factory. It was already late after I finished cleaning up. I was just about to come back when I met him."

As soon as he said this, Lele's father knew it.

He had been to Chen Huajiang's snack bar before and thought it tasted good.

"When you said that, I remembered that you are the little boss of the snack bar. Several people from our food bureau have eaten there. I even went there two days ago. I guess there were too many people and you didn't pay attention."

Lele's father is actually Zhang Donglai, the director of the Food Bureau. All catering, including food, etc., fall under his jurisdiction.

Chen Huajiang is very smart. When I heard that he was from the Food Bureau, I felt that he needed to make friends with him.

"There are indeed a lot of people in my store. Come to me next time you go there and I'll give you a free order. By the way, what's your surname?"

"My name is Zhang Donglai. From now on, just call me Lao Zhang. I know your surname is Chen, right? They all call you Boss Chen."

Zhang Donglai looked at Chen Huajiang with a smile.

Although he is responsible for food supervision, if there are large manufacturers and large restaurants in his jurisdiction and he does very well, his face will be very bright, and he is likely to be promoted in the future.

"It's not really a boss, it's just a small snack bar. Everyone calls it that. I won't tell you more. I'm going back first. We have just served mutton soup in the store. If you have a chance, come and try it. "

"No problem. Thank you for saving my child. If you need help with anything in the future, just ask."

Zhang Donglai was quite polite.

He was just such a son. Fortunately, Chen Huajiang showed up in time. Otherwise, Lele would have been beaten up by those gangsters and would have been hospitalized.

These young people these days are not very gentle or serious.

After Chen Huajiang left, Zhang Donglai looked at Lele with a straight face.

"Why are you running around so late at night? What if something happens? Go home and sleep quickly."
