Siheyuan: Starting from the Pig Killer

"It's so fierce!"

Early in the morning, when Yan Bugui pushed the door open, he saw Xiang Yunduan practicing boxing in the yard. He didn't know any martial arts, so naturally he couldn't tell what was going on. However, Xiang Yunduan's moves were so sharp that there was even a faint whistling sound, which was obviously not some fancy trick.

"Good morning, Third Uncle!"

Xiang Yun exhaled white air from his mouth, said hello, and retracted his fist.

He had been boxing for a while, but he didn't do it every day. The main reason was that the snow that had fallen for three or five days in a row had finally stopped today. It looked like today would be a good day, and a faint golden-white light was already appearing in the eastern sky.

It has been almost half a month since I came back from the disaster area. The snow these days is the first snow of this winter. As soon as the snow fell, the weather became completely cold.

"Brother Yun, it's time to eat!"

Tao Xiaoye's voice was heard in the room.

"Wow, the dumpling soup this morning was made really well!" Xiang Yunduan walked into the room and said with some surprise when he saw the dishes and chopsticks already placed on the table.

Tao Xiaoye didn't know how to cook at all before. Before liberation, when she was a child, Tao Xiaoye lived with her grandparents, and the family hired servants. After liberation, she lived with her parents, and Mei Zhihua was the one who did the cooking. She could be said to have everything she wanted.

It was only after getting married that she slowly learned how to cook from Xiang Yunduan. Of course, most of the dishes she cooked were the simplest ones. It was not easy for a novice like Tao Xiaoye to make a dish as technically demanding as dumpling soup.

"That's right! It's just a dumpling soup, how can it be difficult for me? No matter how difficult it is, can it be more difficult than writing a press release?" Tao Xiao said very proudly, with her eyes curved like the moon.

"Yes, yes, our little one is very smart. He can do anything easily!" Xiang Yunduan praised.

Dumpling soup, toasted steamed bread, and some pickles make for a very good breakfast.

You know, whether it is the dumpling soup or the baked steamed buns, they are all made of real flour. In ordinary people's homes, they can only eat a little bit of it occasionally during festivals.

After breakfast, they went back to their respective workplaces.

The roads were covered with ice these days and motorcycles could not be ridden, so Xiang Yunduan naturally could not take Tao Xiaoye to work.

"Xiaoshan, notify everyone to prepare to clear the snow!"

When they arrived at the office, Xiang Yunduan said to Ye Xiaoshan.

Soon, the base became a scene of bustling activity. In fact, at this point, not only their unit, but all other units were also busy clearing the snow.

The only difference from other units is that here at the police dog base, in addition to trainers, there are also many police dogs involved. These guys obviously regard snow clearing as a game, running around the base happily.

"Qin Huairu, what are you guys doing?"

After the snow is piled up, they don’t have to worry about the rest. People from the district cleaning team will come over soon and take away all the snow.

The weather is relatively dry, so the snow naturally cannot be wasted. The district has already notified us that all the snow must be transported to farmland outside the city.

As the saying goes, auspicious snow means a good harvest, and this is even more important during this dry season.

"Director! We are making a snowman!"

Qin Huairu turned around and said.

When working, it is called position!

When Qin Huairu first came in, she kept calling Xiang Yunduan all the time. This woman was just being clever. She thought that by calling him that, everyone would think that she had a good relationship with Xiang Yunduan so that she wouldn't be bullied.

However, Xiang Yunduan did not tolerate her. He called Qin Huairu to his office and gave her a good scolding. From then on, Qin Huairu started to call him Director.

"Are you bored and have nothing to do? Are you still making snowmen? Are you playing house like a kid?"

Xiang Yunduan gave the five female comrades a lecture, and then said: "If you really want to build a snowman, just build a few police dog-shaped snowmen, which can also show the characteristics of our unit!"

"Yes, Director, rest assured, I will complete the task!"

"Giggle!"

"Hahaha!"

"Hee hee hee!"

……

Perhaps it was because Xiang Yunduan was relatively young, these young girls and wives particularly liked to joke with him, or it would be more appropriate to say tease him.

Look, he can even call out "Director".

No wonder Xiang Yunduan always wanted to teach these pretty girls a lesson.

This woman, when she is alone, seems very timid, shy, and reserved. But once she gathers in groups of three or four, she can be very aggressive when speaking, sometimes even saying dirty words. Even Xiang Yunduan, an old driver who has turned over a new leaf, can't stand it.

"Director, Director Fang called and asked you to come to the bureau!"

Xiang Yunduan was observing the pregnant female dogs and wolves in the kennel when Ye Xiaoshan suddenly ran over and said.

These female dogs and wolves have been pregnant for more than a month. As their gestation period is only about 60 days, they are already halfway through. They must be well taken care of during this period.

Although there is no reproductive isolation between wolves and dogs, there are some differences after all. Especially when you are pregnant with your first baby, you have to be extremely careful. If something goes wrong, it can easily lead to miscarriage.

"What did you say?" Xiang Yunduan asked casually.

"No!" Ye Xiaoshan shook his head.

Xiang Yunduan was not surprised. Fang Jinglin has always been tight-lipped. When Ye Xiaoshan answered the phone, he usually would not reveal the content of his work.

It was not until he arrived at the bureau that he realized that it was a good thing.

"Comrade Xiang Yunduan, after research and decision by the bureau leaders and approval by the higher authorities, you are officially appointed as the director of the police dog base!"

Right from the start, Fang Jinglin gave Xiang Yunduan a surprise.

The acting director was changed to director. In addition to removing the word "acting", his rank was naturally upgraded as well. Now he is at the official administrative level 17, a full-time section chief.

In fact, he had already enjoyed the treatment of a full-level official in advance, and this time it was completely legitimate.

"Thank you Director Fang for your cultivation!" Xiang Yunduan said with a smile.

"Hehe, kid, don't give me that!" Fang Jinglin scolded with a smile.

Before liberation, Fang Jinglin was an underground agent lurking in the police station. He knew this kind of flattery very well, at least he was familiar with it. If he were to do it, he would be much more natural than Xiang Yunduan.

"Director Fang, what's going on? Why did I get promoted suddenly?" Xiang Yunduan asked.

"Are you pretending to be ignorant even though you know the truth? What else could it be? Weren't you commended by the bureau a few days ago? Have you forgotten the third-class merit? Since you have made merit, it is normal for the organization to give you more responsibilities, isn't that normal?" Fang Jinglin said.

Xiang Yunduan, this kid, is only 21 years old, but he is already a full-time official, just half a step away from being on par with him. It would be a lie to say that he has no thoughts in his mind. However, Xiang Yunduan has made enough contributions for every progress he has made along the way. He is just a little sighing, but he can't be said to be jealous.

"Isn't that a collective honor? It can't be attributed entirely to me!" Xiang Yunduan said.

After returning from the disaster area, Fan Guoyong naturally wrote a report on their work in the disaster area. They saved so many people that the local government also wrote a special letter to express their gratitude.

Naturally, those who went to the disaster area won a collective third-class merit.

Seeing Xiang Yunduan trying to be modest to him, Fang Jinglin did not expose him, but continued: "There are two other things. First, your name was announced after the meeting as the advanced individual in the bureau this year.

The second thing is that the bureau did not approve your plan to set up a search and rescue dog training team at the police dog base.

However, the reason is not that the bureau thinks search and rescue dogs are useless, but that after research, the bureau feels that it is a bit of a waste to set up a special search and rescue dog team. After all, search and rescue work is not a daily job, and it is very likely that a trained search and rescue dog will never experience actual combat in its entire life.

In view of this situation, the bureau suggests that you add a search and rescue subject when training police dogs, so that one dog can be used for multiple purposes, both as a police dog and as a search and rescue dog?

After all, raising so many dogs requires a lot of money, so we have to save where we can!"

After hearing Fang Jinglin's words, Xiang Yunduan was stunned, and then he said: "It is still the leaders who are thoughtful and far-sighted. My proposal to set up a special search and rescue dog team is indeed a bit inappropriate. I did not take the actual situation into consideration. This is my mistake in my work.

I completely agree with the organization's suggestion to use one dog for multiple purposes. This is a very feasible suggestion!"

He was not really trying to flatter his leader. His previous thoughts were indeed a bit unrealistic.

In fact, he was also influenced by the thinking of later generations.

Later generations made very detailed classifications of working dogs. Anti-smoking dogs are anti-smoking dogs, patrol dogs are patrol dogs, search and rescue dogs are search and rescue dogs, riot dogs are riot dogs, and so on. Strictly speaking, all of these belong to the category of police dogs.

But given the current actual situation, there is no need to divide it so finely, all items can be included as daily training subjects.

Of course, under such circumstances, although the trained police dogs can be called all-rounders, they are naturally suspected of being "proficient in all but nothing" in specific subjects.

But there is no other way. You have to eat one bite at a time and do things one thing at a time!

"I'm glad you understand. In fact, the higher-ups take this search and rescue dog matter very seriously!" Fang Jinglin patted Xiang Yunduan on the shoulder and said.

He had originally planned to comfort Xiang Yunduan. After all, in his opinion, Xiang Yunduan had done so many things at such a young age. It was conceivable that he should be quite radical. After hearing that his proposal was rejected, he was bound to feel incomprehensible. However, what he did not expect was that Xiang Yunduan was so calm, so calm that he did not seem like a 21-year-old young man.

He did not lie to Xiang Yunduan. The higher-ups did take the search and rescue dogs issue very seriously. The reason was very simple.

This earthquake is a reminder to everyone. You know, Sijiu City is located in the North China seismic belt. No one can guarantee that an earthquake will not occur here.

Moreover, in history, there were indeed earthquakes here during the Yuan and Ming dynasties, and they were quite large.

In this case, it is definitely not wrong to make more preparations.

"Director Fang, don't worry. I will definitely take care of the search and rescue dog matter!" Xiang Yunduan said.

Afterwards, the two men ended their conversation and went to the large conference room.

Fang Jinglin's words just now were just to inform him in advance. The specific announcement was made by someone from the Political Department.

After Xiang Yunduan received the document appointing him as the director of the police dog base, he thought for a moment and said to the leader of the political department: "If I become the director, then there will still be two vacancies for deputy directors in the base. I wonder what the organization thinks?

Although the base is not big, there are a lot of things to do every day. I am afraid I can't handle it all by myself!"

"Well, the bureau is also considering this matter. Do you have any ideas about the candidate for deputy director?" the leader asked.

"I recommend Comrade Shen Yong to serve as deputy director, in charge of daily training work!"

Since he was asked, Xiang Yunduan naturally did not hesitate, which would have made him look pretentious. Instead, he said directly, "Comrade Shen Yong is now the captain of the training team. He is very experienced in training police dogs. Last time I went on a business trip to the disaster area, Comrade Shen Yong was in charge of the base. He did a great job without any mistakes. This comrade used to work in security. He is very reliable both in terms of business and politics. So I suggest that Comrade Shen Yong be appointed as the deputy director!"

"Okay, I understand. I will report your suggestions to the director!" said the leader of the Political Department.

Although there are two deputy director vacancies, Xiang Yunduan only recommended one person. Although the leader asked, he can't say everything.

In his position, it is already great that he can have a say in personnel issues. It is okay to arrange a deputy animal husbandry-level dog king, but if he wants to interfere with the deputy director at the deputy section level, that is definitely not allowed.

……

Xiang Yunduan is no longer as excited about the promotion as he was at the beginning. The main reason is that he has gradually gotten used to it. Plus, there is no difference between his acting director and the director, and he has enjoyed the treatment of a full-level official in advance. He has already been excited for a long time.

"Director, there was a phone call just now!"

He had just returned to the base when Ye Xiaoshan came over and said.

"Where are the calls coming from? Why are there so many calls today?" Xiang Yunduan asked casually.

"This case is strange, it's not from our public security system, it's from the Academy of Fine Arts!" said Ye Xiaoshan, who is almost becoming a switchboard operator now.

"Academy of Fine Arts? Central Academy of Fine Arts? Did you talk about what happened?" Xiang Yunduan asked.

Could it be that the Security Department of CAFA also wants to set up a police dog team?

Last time, when so many universities and colleges introduced police dogs, CAFA didn’t seem to be among them.

"I told you, the call came from their college office, saying that students and teachers from their college wanted to come to our base to sketch!"

Ye Xiaoshan relayed the content of the call, and then asked curiously: "Director, what is sketching?"

"Sketching? Why would sketching come to our base?"

Xiang Yunduan was a little confused, but he still explained to Ye Xiaoshan: "Sketching is painting. You are from the Academy of Fine Arts. What else can you do if you don't paint!"
