Chapter 69 Admission
"Dang Dang Dang~"

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding~"

"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers, today's headline is..."

"Sir, would you like a cigarette?"

"Let's take a car. Where are you going, madam? Do you want to take a car?"

"Sir, madam, do you want your shoes shined?"

In the early morning, the sun is barely rising.

But the Grand Cross Street in the center of Qianyang became bustling with people as usual.

However, today's Grand Cross Street is less lively than Renmin Street, which is two streets away.

At this time, hundreds of people gathered on People's Street!
The place where these people gathered was unexpectedly in front of the patrol room office building in Yunyang District.

On weekdays, few people stroll around Renmin Street, where the Yunyang District Patrol Office is located, but today is the day when the summer recruitment results are released. Anyone who has participated in the summer recruitment examination, regardless of whether they have passed or not, will come here to take a look. .

Those who have passed the exam want to see if they have been admitted, while those who have not passed the exam are here to join in the fun and want to see who has been admitted.

In addition to these people, many ordinary people will also come to join in the fun and see who is recruited and admitted to the patrol room each season. If there are any acquaintances around them, they can go to congratulate them as soon as possible and make a good relationship or something.

However, it was still too early at this time, and the admission list of the patrol room had not yet been posted on the bulletin board at the door. The people gathered here dispersed into small groups, chatting while waiting for the list to be released.

Among these people, the disciples of the Changdao Sect, Sanxing Sect, and Huasha Sect, who were wearing uniform black, gray, and blue training uniforms, were the most conspicuous.

“I don’t know how many people will be recruited in this summer recruitment and who will be admitted.”

"Who knows, I guess there are only twenty or thirty people. After all, the summer recruitment and winter recruitment in previous years almost always recruit this many people."

"Isn't it? We recruit twenty or thirty people in one season, and fifty or sixty people in that year. After so many years, isn't the patrol room full?!"

"Hey, this brother just came to Qianyang, right?"

"Yes, I heard that if you get admitted to the Qianyang patrol house, you will be able to eat well and have a good meal every day, and you can find many beautiful women to sleep with. I am the best in our town, so I came to try my luck. Why? Already?"

"Then it's no wonder you don't understand! Even though the patrol bureau recruits a lot every season, these twenty or thirty people have to be assigned to the patrol bureaus in various districts of Qianyang!"

"Except for the six major districts of Qianyang, where the cadres are stationed in Jiuhua and do not need patrol rooms, the patrol rooms in the other five districts are divided up. There are not many people in each district."

"Of course, the patrol rooms in Yunyang and Jinguan, the two safest districts, are basically full. Unless the people recruited have very strong backgrounds, it is impossible for them to get in. People recruited every summer and winter, Basically, they are divided into three places: Nanba, Hexi and Wuqing."

"If you are assigned to Wuqing, that's okay. There are factories there. Apart from being a bit boring, the safety is still somewhat guaranteed. But if you are assigned to Nanba and Hexi, it's hard to say. These two The place is very chaotic, and patrol officers often die in the line of duty. Although it is not as high as fifty or sixty every year, it is probably half or half?"

"Coupled with the resignations and dismissals of some patrol officers, as well as some illegal patrol officers arrested during the internal review of the Central Government, the number of people recruited every year is actually just enough to fill these vacancies. Do you understand?"

"Isn't it? Someone would resign from such a good job?! Also, what is 'central control'?!"

"This is just a good job in our eyes, but if some patrol officers are associated with higher-level dignitaries, this job may not be a good job. As for the 'central government'... Hey, since you don't know, it's best to Don’t know.”

……

Bursts of whispers came from the crowd. Although they were kept low, they couldn't cope with the large number of people present.

For a time, this street was extremely noisy.

When Chen Qing, Mu Dachao, and Xing Zhaowu arrived here together, there were densely packed people standing on both sides of the patrol room door and on the opposite side.

"So...so many people!"

When Xing Zhaowu saw this scene, he, who was already dull and had low self-esteem, couldn't help but be a little frightened.

Chen Qing and Mu Dachao were okay. After briefly scanning the people around them, they looked at the bulletin board at the door of the patrol room.

In front of the public notice board, there was a large group of people, three floors inside and three floors outside. At a glance, it was so crowded that it was impossible to tell who was who.

However, Chen Qing still relied on his slightly taller height than the people around him to see the general situation of the bulletin board inside.

There are many old notices posted on the bulletin board, but there is no poster similar to the admission list.

"It seems the rankings haven't been released yet."

Chen Qing said calmly: "Let's go there and wait. There is no one there."

Xing Zhaowu, who was about the same height as him, nodded.

Mu Dachao, who was a head shorter than the two of them, kept jumping up on the spot, wanting to see the bulletin board inside.

There were many people around like him.

After Chen Qing saw this, he winked at Xing Zhaowu who was standing aside. Then one of them grabbed one of Mu Dachao's arms, and the other hand supported Mu Dachao's waist, and lifted Mu Dachao up.

"Did you see it?"

Chen Qing asked.

"I saw it, I saw it!"

Mu Dachao, who was lifted up, quickly nodded with a smile and replied: "Sure enough, the results haven't been released yet! Then we'll just listen to Brother Qing and go over there and wait."

Hearing this, Chen Qing looked at Xing Zhaowu and signaled to put Mu Dachao down.

After putting down Mu Dachao, the three of them walked towards the area pointed by Chen Qing, an area on the edge of the crowd.

"I don't know where that guy Aqiang is, but he didn't wait for us to come together. It's really abominable..."

After reaching the edge of the crowd, Mu Dachao muttered.

Chen Qing heard this and said, "He should be among the crowd at the bulletin board."

This morning, after Chen Qing got up and simply dressed and washed, he went out and went straight to the "Bai Pharmacy" on Huansha Road and called Xing Zhaowu.

Immediately afterwards, the two came to the downstairs of Mu Dachao's house on Shanzao Road and called Mu Dachao.

After that, the three people came to the door of Zhuang Zhiqiang's courtyard and called Zhuang Zhiqiang's name.

In the past few days, while the four of them were practicing in the Tiger-shaped Gate, they agreed to watch the results together on the day when the results would be released.

As a result, Zhuang Zhiqiang's mother informed the three of them that Zhuang Zhiqiang had already gone out.

Therefore, when Mu Dachao came here, he would complain from time to time that Zhuang Zhiqiang did not abide by the agreement.

But Chen Qing, who knew the other party's family situation was special, could understand it a little better.

Zhuang Zhiqiang obviously regarded being admitted to the patrol room as a way to change his family's current situation, so he came over anxiously in advance.

Chen Qing could even imagine that the other party was tossing and turning all night long and couldn't sleep.

"Come out! Come out!"

Just when Chen Qing and the others arrived at the edge of the crowd, and before they could say a few words, the crowd started to commotion.

Because someone came out of the patrol office building!
The first to come out was a team of eight new assistant patrol officers.

The eight new assistant patrol officers were armed with patrol sticks. After coming out, they walked straight to the public notice board and began to drive away the crowd gathered in front of the public notice board.

"The results are about to be released, everyone, go away!"

The crowd gathered in front of the bulletin board also consciously began to retreat and gave way to an area in front of the bulletin board. Then, I saw two old patrol officers walking out with big-character posters with red background and black characters. They walked to the bulletin board. One assisted the other to post the admission list on the bulletin board.

After posting it, the two old patrol officers returned to the patrol office building without looking back.

As for the eight new assistant patrol officers, they guarded the bulletin board at each corner of the station, forming an arc-shaped semi-circle to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the chaos and tearing up the admission list.

"Just watch here, don't come forward!"

One of the patrolmen shouted coldly.

The people present also cooperated very honestly and stood on the periphery to watch.

However, some people in the front row who did not cooperate well due to excitement or crowding behind them and pushed forward were beaten mercilessly by the nearby new assistant patrol officer, who grimaced in pain.

Under such order maintenance, people present gradually finished watching the admission list.

Then, some people are happy and some are sad.

Some people left dejectedly after reading the list;

Some people were so excited after reading it that they jumped up on the spot and kept shouting "I passed the exam, I passed the exam";
There were also those who were joining in the fun, reading out loud the names on the list while watching.

For a moment, the crowd was extremely noisy.

Chen Qing and the other three stood on the periphery of the crowd. They vaguely seemed to hear their names, but the surroundings were too noisy and they were not sure.

So, Mu Dachao, who was itching and couldn't bear it, encouraged Xing Zhaowu, and using Xing Zhaowu's size, the two of them squeezed directly into the crowd and pushed towards the front row.

Although Chen Qing was not in a hurry, he was happy to follow two people to open the way, and they came to the front row together.

After a while, the three of them arrived at the front row of the bulletin board.

Chen Qing quickly looked at the admission list and quickly searched for his name.

Soon, he locked onto a certain area on the list and saw the word "Chen Qing".

After seeing his name on the list, Chen Qing finally felt at ease.

Although he knew that with Mu Zhiyou buying the recommended quota, his test scores were very good, and Tan Jintai, the "military commander", was developing him, the chance of him successfully getting into the patrol room was not 100%, but it was still very high.

But before he saw the name on the list, he still felt a sigh of relief in his heart.

It was only now, after seeing that he was on the list, that he finally let go of his anger.

Just after the anger in his heart subsided, next to him, Mu Dachao jumped up with a "yeah", then excitedly clenched his fists and said: "I'm on the list! I passed the exam!"

His words naturally attracted the attention of the people around him.

Basically, everyone who passes the exam will cause people around them to look over.

Then, they heard a shout from the side: "Brother Qing! Dachao! You all passed the exam! I passed the exam too!"

Chen Qing and Mu Dachao looked around and saw Zhuang Zhiqiang, who was about to squeeze out of the crowd with an excited look on his face.

When Mu Dachao saw Zhuang Zhiqiang, he wanted to curse, but at this moment, Xing Zhaowu's muttering voice came from the side.

"I...I...I don't seem to have passed the exam..."

Hearing this, Chen Qing and Mu Dachao immediately looked at Xing Zhaowu.

Then Xing Zhaowu's face was filled with disappointment.

The two frowned slightly and looked at the admission list again, looking for Xing Zhaowu's name.

But in the end, after reading a total of thirty-two names, Xing Zhaowu's name was still not found.

Xing Zhaowu did not pass the exam.

After discovering this, Chen Qing and Mu Dachao suddenly couldn't show their happiness anymore.

"Awu, it's okay, it's just a defeat. There will be winter recruitment this year. If not, there will be next year, and the year after that-"

Mu Dachao patted Xing Zhaowu on the shoulder and spoke to comfort him.

But when it came to the latter part, Chen Qing raised his hand and made a silent gesture to stop the other party from speaking.

Xing Zhaowu's family conditions make it difficult for him to take the exam once.

The recommended quota is 3,000 yuan, which is non-refundable whether you pass the exam or not.

Therefore, Mu Dachao's comfort may not only be ineffective, but also make things worse.

really!

After listening to Mu Dachao's words, Xing Zhaowu just smiled reluctantly and did not reply. Instead, he turned to look at Chen Qing and said, "Brother Qing, I'm going back to the store to help first."

After saying that, he left the bulletin board dejectedly.

Chen Qing frowned slightly when he saw this, but he couldn't comfort them. No matter how much he comforted them who had passed the exam, it was useless at this time. On the contrary, it might make Xing Zhaowu even more uncomfortable.

Some things can only be digested by oneself, and it is useless for others to comfort them.

Therefore, Chen Qing could only watch Xing Zhaowu leave dejectedly.

After Xing Zhaowu left, Zhuang Zhiqiang also squeezed over. He glanced at Xing Zhaowu who left dejectedly. He didn't say anything, but asked Chen Qing and Chen Qing: "Brother Qing, Dachao, when are you going to Jiuhua for training? together."

On the admission list in large letters on the bulletin board, in addition to the admitted names, there is also a line written at the bottom:

"The above-mentioned candidates are requested to report to Qianyang Military Academy before September 15th for one-month induction training."

Chen Qing and Mu Dachao, who had already known about the "training", listened to Zhuang Zhiqiang's inquiry. Chen Qing said: "It's too noisy. Leave here first."

When Zhuang Zhiqiang and Mu Dachao heard this, they naturally had no objections, nodded, and squeezed out of the crowd together.

Afterwards, the three of them discussed for a while.

After the discussion, Mu Dachao raised his hand and slapped Zhuang Zhiqiang on the shoulder, and said with a snort: "Don't wait for us to try!"

Zhuang Zhiqiang was stunned for a moment when he was beaten, but he immediately understood what was going on and apologized quickly.

Afterwards, the three of them chatted for a while and then went home to inform their families of the good news.

When Chen Qing returned to the rented house of the Chen family in Nanba, it was only in the morning and Chen Zhengzhong had just left work and was not at home.

In a good mood, he cleaned the back room and the front room, washed all the dirty clothes, and then went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables and meat. Then he cooked a small table of sumptuous meals and went Drink some bulk white wine.

He planned to wait for Chen Zhengzhong to come back and tell this little old man who was not optimistic about him the news that he had been admitted to the patrol room.

However, when he finished doing this and the time came to afternoon, he waited and waited until the sun went down, but he did not wait for Chen Zhengzhong to come back.

It wasn't until it was getting dark that he waited for one of Chen Zhengzhong's coworkers to arrive.

"Aqing, it's not good! Your dad was beaten by someone from the Iron Fist Club, and he's in the hospital now! Go and have a look!"

As night fell, Chen Qing, who was sitting in front of a small table of sumptuous dishes in the narrow front room, heard the news brought by co-worker Chen Zhengzhong. The smile on his face suddenly disappeared and he stood up. Get out of body.
