Chapter 195 Meeting a Childhood Friend
"I thought about you getting promoted to level 6 worker, and arranged for you to go to school for further studies."
"Now it seems that plans cannot keep up with changes. You are promoted too fast."
Ran's father brought up the old matter again.
Since the current situation has changed, the planned things must also change.
"Uncle, I want to be promoted to level eight during the year-end fitter assessment."
Chen Jianye said.
"Well, your ambition is commendable. If you have such great ability, I will definitely support you."
"I will contact my friends in advance. If you can really be promoted to level eight worker, go to the technical office to study."
"Knowledge gained from books is always shallow. You must practice it yourself. Learning in school is definitely not as good as learning in person."
Father Ran nodded and explained the situation to Chen Jianye.
He had not told Chen Jianye what happened after the latter was promoted to level eight worker.
Chen Jianye was able to know this information because of Ran Qiuye's revelation.
After Ran's father encouraged him, Chen Jianye saw that it was getting dark and stood up to say goodbye.
At the same time, he asked Ran Qiuye to go out for a walk.
Ran Qiuye looked shy, but still went out with Chen Jianye.
The two chatted on the bicycle, and then Chen Jianye rode his bicycle and took Ran Qiuye to a pitch-black alley.
"Let's do something different today."
Chen Jianye hugged Ran Qiuye and said with his head down.
Under the influence of alcohol, Chen Jianye pushed Ran Qiuye down and pried open her mouth.
Ran Qiuye was about to cry.
It's not that I'm sad, it's just a normal reaction of feeling blocked in the throat.
Afterwards, Chen Jianye squatted down and wanted to serve Ran Qiuye.
Ran Qiuye held on to her pants tightly and refused to let Chen Jianye take them off.
Before they got married, she refused to take off her pants no matter what.
Chen Jianye didn't force it.
After coaxing Ran Qiuye for a while and promising to marry her, Ran Qiuye gradually calmed down.
The two of them were affectionate for half an hour, and Chen Jianye sent Ran Qiuye home.
On the way back, he was thinking about things by himself.
The atmosphere in this era is conservative, and what Ran Qiuye can do is already his limit.
If you want to go further, you can only get married.
After getting married, two people can try any tricks in their own room.
"I have to find some time to visit Uncle Mei."
Chen Jianye made up his mind.
According to the rules of the old city, the man has to arrange an important elder to go to the woman's family to propose marriage.
The Ran family is a scholarly family, and marrying a daughter requires face.
Mei Yubo is the man's proposer and is qualified and influential enough.
Chen Jianye rode his bike past two patrolling police officers.
"Hey, stop the car."
Suddenly, the older policeman turned around and shouted at Chen Jianye.
squeak!
Chen Jianye squeezed the brakes and stopped, then turned to look at the police: "Comrade Police, what's the matter?"
"Drinking?"
The old policeman walked up to Chen Jianye, shone the flashlight on Chen Jianye's face and body, and looked him up and down.
"Yes, I drank."
Chen Jianye nodded with a frank look.
He had no problem and was not panicked at all when he met the police.
The young policeman looked at Chen Jianye intently, his eyes full of confusion and uncertain suspicion, as if he had met an acquaintance but was not sure.
"It's so late, the lights are dark, and the drink is quite good."
"I'll just ask you a few questions. Please tell me your name, address, and job."
The old policeman looked alert.
"My name is Chen Jianye. I live in the courtyard at No. 95 Nanguluo Lane and work as a fitter at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill."
Chen Jianye replied.
"Okay, let's go."
The old policeman waved his hand.
He stopped Chen Jianye and it was indeed just a routine interrogation.
After all, it was late at night, and there was a man riding a bicycle on the road, reeking of alcohol.
It's easy to commit crimes.
"Jianye, are you really Chen Jianye?!"
Suddenly, the young police officer shouted excitedly.
"Who are you....."
Chen Jianye looked at the young policeman, memories swirling in his mind.
Many years ago, the scene in my memory overlapped with the police in front of me.
"I am Ding Kegang, Qiu Jibin, Hu Haoran, Yang Sisi, do you still remember me?"
Ding Kegang was very excited.
"Fuck, Ke Gang!"
"You are Ke Gang!"
Chen Jianye was also very excited.
Ding Kegang and the people he just mentioned, Qiu Jibin, Hu Haoran, and Yang Sisi, are all childhood friends of Chen Jianye.
At that time, Chen Jianye's family had not yet moved to the courtyard house in Nanguluoxiang.
It was all more than ten years ago.
In the early days of the founding of the country, there was chaos and war, as well as constant internal and external troubles.
If you change your address, you basically have to rebuild your network of relationships.
Friendships among young children are even easier to break.
Chen Jianye never expected that he would meet Ding Kegang.
"Jianye, if you don't tell me your name, I won't recognize you."
"What a coincidence, what a coincidence."
Ding Kegang's face was full of joy.
"If you didn't tell me your name, I wouldn't have recognized you. It was so dark."
"You're working in the police force now? Sure."
Chen Jianye praised.
"Hey, you work as a fitter in a steel mill. You have a stable job that pays you well. You're not much worse than me."
Ding Kegang laughed.
"What about Qiu Jibin, Hu Haoran, and Yang Sisi? Are you still in touch with them?"
Chen Jianye asked about the information of his childhood playmates.
"I know all of them. Your family left first, and then the four of us fled to Sijiu City together, so we didn't separate."
Ding Kegang said with a smile.
"That's fine, let's get together some other day."
"You are on a mission now, so I can't ask you out alone."
Chen Zhixing said quickly.
"OK, no problem."
Ding Kegang nodded.
"Please write down my home address and come to see me when you are free."
Chen Jianye asked.
"I've got it. I'll come find you tomorrow."
Ding Kegang said.
The two talked for a while.
Finally, the old policeman got tired of waiting and coughed twice.
Ding Ke just realized that his personal affairs had delayed his work, so he said goodbye to Chen Jianye.
Chen Jianye rode his bike home, closed the door, and without turning on the lights, he opened a book to study.
Two hours later.
Having gained enough experience, Chen Jianye lay down on the bed to rest.
Once his machinist skill reaches level six, a new lottery will be available.
It is worth looking forward to.
The next afternoon.
Chen Jianye came back from get off work.
I'm sitting at the door picking vegetables.
"Chen Jianye lives in the middle courtyard. Look, he's picking vegetables."
"Jianye, your friend is here to see you."
Yan Fugui led Ding Kegang into the middle courtyard and shouted loudly.
"Thank you, Uncle Three."
Chen Jianye put down the food, took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to the third uncle.
After sending Yan Fugui away, Chen Jianye invited Ding Kegang to come back home and sit down: "Kegang, you're really quick. I was wondering when you'd be free to come and see me."
"I told Qiu Jibin and Hu Haoran about you. They were both very excited and wanted to have a drink with you."
"Well, I came to see you as soon as I got off work. When are you free? Let's get together."
Ding Kegang said with a smile.
"I'm free anytime, how about tomorrow, you three come to my house, I'll cook."
Chen Jianye said generously.
"Okay, now you can run a kitchen, you have some skills."
"By the way, where are uncle and aunt? Where are they busy?"
Ding Kegang asked with a smile.
"My parents are dead, and now I live alone."
Chen Jianye explained.
"Ah? This... eh..."
Ding Kegang was very surprised and finally sighed heavily.
"It's all in the past, there's nothing bad to say."
"By the way, where's Yang Sisi? Isn't she coming?"
Chen Jianye is quite open-minded.
The greatest wish of his parents is that he lives a good life.
He is living a good life now, and I believe his parents must be happy to see him in their grave.
