The process of convincing Madam Yang Shumei was much easier than expected. After investigating her family situation, Minister Yu chose the simplest and most crude way——using money.
Although Madam Yang Shumei is a native of B City, she is not well off. The husband is an honest man, in the early years, the unit gave up the quota to others. A family of three has been living in a unit house for free. Later, the state-owned enterprise went bankrupt, and both husband and wife were laid off, so they have been renting the tube-shaped apartment building Tongzilou1筒子樓 Tǒngzilóu: tube-shaped communal housing buildings, formed of long tubular corridors, connecting family-sized bedrooms, shared bathrooms and kitchens, and balconies that double as thoroughfares. Usually there are over ten families living on one floor and each family lives in one room. More information Link 1, Link 2, Link 3. until the shanty town was renovated, and they were kicked out again.
They have been living the days of renting, moving, and renting again. They have not had a stable home for many years, and now their son has reached the age of marriage. How can he get married without a house?
The son is quite a hard worker. He has been good since he was a child, and he is good at studying. He is admitted to a key university and receives scholarships every year. It doesn’t cost the family much money to study. Immediately after graduation, he was hired by a well-known company. Although the annual salary is less than one million, he can still have half of the million.
But with this kind of income, in B City, can’t even afford a toilet.
Madam Yang Shumei’s dream is to have her own small villa with a detached courtyard. The villa has three floors, the first floor is a large garage of two hundred square meters, the second floor is the living room, kitchen and the room of their old couple, the third floor will be for the two people when their son gets married, and there will be a bedroom and study for the children.
The yard can be larger, so that more vegetables and rice can be grown. In the future, they will eat green food grown by herself instead of buying those vegetables that have been treated with pesticides and chemical fertilizers.
The backyard should have a clean pigpen and chicken coop…
To achieve this goal, the yard must have a thousand square meters at least, right?
Although this is just a delusion, anyway, it’s impossible to forbid people from having such a dream.
And Madam Yang Shumei’s ability comes from her wish.
“A yard of one thousand square meters is enough to park several fighter planes.” After reading Qiao Zhixue’s report on Yang Da Ma’s ability analysis, Cui Heyu was dissatisfied, “Can’t her ambition be any bigger, such as becoming the owner of a high-end community, then we can stuff more things into it.”
Ah San said: “People always have to be pragmatic. It is okay to dream of a big house, but it is impossible to become a developer.”
“Then why doesn’t she imagine becoming a big landlord in the countryside? We can bring a base in on hundreds of thousands of acres of land.” Cui Heyu thought freely.
“They still want to live in B City.” Ah San continues to defend Yang Da Ma, “Even with the yard and the house, the base area is 1,200 square meters, and the height is 10 meters of rectangular space. Can carry all non-living things and their family of three, this space is already quite large.”
“That’s true, we finally don’t have to worry about supplies.” Cui Heyu said, “How did Minister Yu persuade Da Ma and her family to agree?”
“Isn’t it simple?” Ah San spread the report in front of him, “Houses, this desire is so strong that supernatural powers appear, of course, it can be solved with one or two sets of houses.”
Minister Yu promised to provide two houses for Madam Yang Shumei’s family. One is for Madam Yang Shumei and her lover alone. The 60-square-meter high-rise, is suitable for the elderly couple. This house is located on the second ring road of B City. It belongs to the house allocated to the staff by the organization. As long as Madam Yang Shumei is still working for the Ministry of State Security, she can own this house. Once she resigns, the organization has the right to take back the house. However, if Madam Yang Shumei suffers an accident in the ‘void’, the house will be paid as a pension and become Madam Yang Shumei’s personal estate.
In other words, as long as Yang Da Ma doesn’t resign, the house will always be hers.
The other set is located in the same community as the small high-rise, near a private high school in B City, and the organization only provides this as a down payment. This money is Madam Yang Shumei’s salary, which is equivalent to an advance payment of her salary for ten years. Yang Shumei can also choose not to buy a house and use the money herself.
Once Madam Yang Shumei resigns, the organization has the right to recover part of her salary according to the remaining years of service. If Madam Yang Shumei dies on duty within ten years, the money will not be recovered. In addition to this salary, Madam Yang Shumei will be granted a pension and funeral expenses in accordance with the provisions of the 《Measures for the People’s Police Pension and Preferential Treatment2人民警察撫恤優待辦法 Rénmín jǐngchá fǔxù yōudài bànfǎ: Measures for the People’s Police Pension and Preferential Treatment.》, based on the standard of martyrs. The standard of pension will be based on her ability level and length of service, referring to the treatment at the official level.
Madam Yang Shumei has the obligation of confidentiality, and must not disclose the content of her work to her family and relatives. In case of leakage of confidentiality, the organization shall not only recover her treatment but also pursue her legal responsibility.
Cui Heyu: “…Minister Yu’s move is really powerful. For these two houses, this family will not say or ask even if they are killed.”
“I remember there is a saying in society, it was, the problem that can be solved with money is not a problem. Although we can’t give her the three-story villa and the 1,000-square-meter compound of her dreams, two houses are still possible.” Ah San said, “Officer Xu said that after Minister Yu put forward the conditions, Yang Da Ma immediately agreed and expressed her willingness to go through life and death for the country and dedicate everything. As long as the house is not taken back, this old life is free to be tossed around.”
“Toss?” Yan Yongfeng laughed, “Da Ma overthinks, with her ability, she is like gold in the supernatural team. We have to protect her even if we risk our lives. The degree of importance is second only to Tan Yan.”
Tan Yan: “I don’t need protection, I can protect her.”
Hearing his words, everyone in the supernatural team who was discussing Yang Da Ma fell silent. What Tan Yan said a few days ago was really shocking.
That day, after Tan Yan confessed his feelings to the little deer, Minister Yu fainted on the spot.
After experiencing his son becoming a zombie and dying – the son is still alive – the son falls in love with a person who is eight years older than himself – this person also agree to be with his son, after this series of mental blows, Minister Yu only faints for more than an hour, he is already strong enough.
Liang Xian is usually too conspicuous. People in the supernatural team certainly admire him, and everyone is also very sad after his death. But when Liang Xian was alive, everyone still looked at him and felt very unpleasant.
The main purpose of everyone staying for the meeting that day was to see how Tan Yan resolutely rejected Liang Xian, so that everyone could stay for the conversation to ridicule Liang Xian in the future properly.
Who knew that Tan Yan would agree like that! The people in the supernatural team almost scared their eyeballs out, and even a calm person like Qiao Zhixue was so shocked that he dropped his computer on the floor.
Among the intelligent beings present that day, the little deer was the only one who played steadily and got into Tan Yan’s arms and said ‘Bell, bell’ happily, as if saying, ‘I’m going to die of happiness’.
After hearing Tan Yan’s confession, Xu Mingyu sent Minister Yu to the emergency room, Qiao Zhixue went to repair the computer, and the supernatural team said that we needed to train, and we couldn’t waste any more precious time, so they left one after another, leaving only the little deer and Tan Yan staring at each other.
After calming down for a few days, the matter of Yang Da Ma was settled, so everyone reunited for a meeting to analyze Yang Da Ma’s abilities and how to protect her in the future.
Only then did they see Tan Yan again, and the little deer, who was inseparable from him these days.
Cui Heyu couldn’t hold back his words. He stared at Tan Yan for a while, and couldn’t help it anymore, so he asked: “Tan… do I call your uncle or what, can you tell me about your mental journey? In the end, why did you agree to Liang Xian? No matter how I think about it, I can’t figure it out.”
This time, even Qiu Qizheng didn’t stop Cui Heyu’s opening his mouth, and focused on Tan Yan, waiting for his answer.
Tan Yan is not embarrassed at all, his thinking has always been simple, and he has always felt that there is nothing wrong with telling others. He has thought about this matter for a long time, and he thinks it very clearly, and he doesn’t mind others discussing it.
Tan Yan said: “I don’t know much about feelings, most people of our age will marry on a blind date when they don’t know what love is. You can say that there is basically no vigorous love, most of them are in daily interaction, slowly developing feelings. If I hadn’t met the ‘void’ back then, I probably would have been introduced by a colleague, met a girl who looked pleasing to the eye and got married, and now I might be a grandfather.”
“Pfft!” Cui Heyu laughed.
Hearing this, he couldn’t help but sympathize with Liang Xian.
“Regarding Liang Xian’s feelings, after I thought he was dead, I thought about it carefully. If it wasn’t Liang Xian who confessed to me that day, would I agree? The answer is no, even if it were a girl, or even a single woman of the same age as me, I would not agree.
The problem is not Liang Xian, but my age, I can no longer accept a person.
When it comes to my feelings, I think more about how could I delay him when I’m halfway into the coffin.”
Tan Yan’s voice is very gentle, but what he said is thought-provoking. Looking at this young face, the members of the supernatural team couldn’t help but feel a little sad.
Affected by this face, they will invariably forget Tan Yan’s actual age, and forget that this person may suddenly grow old and die suddenly one day.
They can’t rely on Tan Yan for too long.
“But later, Liang Xian stayed in the zombie world, and I regretted it a bit. If I knew it was so sad now, why didn’t I say yes to him in the first place? At least, he can be happy for one day.” Tan Yan simply said, “I don’t understand what you young people expect in love, even if we agree to be together, probably just like before, training every day, work, there will be more intimate contact. After thinking about it, it seems that it’s not that difficult to accept.”
Everyone listened to him quietly.
“Sometimes I don’t understand what Liang Xian is worried about, in fact, the one that should be worried is me. I might become crane-haired and chicken-skinned, will Liang Xian still be able to love me at that time?
Thinking of this, I don’t think too much, just as he wants, we are together, and I will accompany him.
Stay with him until he doesn’t like me, or I can’t walk anymore.”
Simple words, but thought-provoking.
“So you agreed to Liang Xian to make him happy, but what about your feelings?” Cui Heyu thought for a long time but couldn’t understand, “Even if you may not realize what love is like now, there will always be feelings when you get along. You like him, but he dislikes you for being old and chooses to leave. In this case, what should you do with your state of mind?”
Hearing his words, the little deer ‘clip-clop’ ran up to Cui Heyu, glared at him with big eyes, bit the hem of his clothes, and tugged angrily.
This is also due to Qiao Zhixue’s good training, otherwise, the little deer would have kicked Cui Heyu half to death, guaranteed to be worse than Xu Mingyu.
His big watery eyes seem to say, ‘I won’t’.
Cui Heyu was not afraid of him, and argued with the little deer: “I almost take you for Liang Xian when you look like this, what do you know? Relationships have a shelf life, dopamine is secreted for three years, what to do when the peak of hormone secretion is over?”
“I think it’s okay,” Tan Yan said lightly, “The space in the human heart is limited, I probably won’t be able to take love as everything in my life, that is, just a little bit.”
Just like Minister Yu to Liang Xian, there is love and family affection, but when it comes to righteousness, Liang Xian will never be everything.
The same is true for Tan Yan, emotional disappointment will not make him sad for too long.
Tan Yan put his hand on his heart and said: “Knowing that Liang Xian stayed in a different world, I was very sad, I think breaking up should not be more uncomfortable than this.”
“I understand what you mean.”
Minister Yu’s voice suddenly came from the door, and the members of the supernatural team jumped up in fright and turned around to look. Minister Yu was standing at the door at some point, didn’t know how much of Tan Yan’s words he had heard.
“You just spoil that brat Liang Xian,” Minister Yu walked into the room, sat across from Tan Yan, and said, “Follow his temperament, give him what he wants, just like spoiling a child.”
“Maybe,” Tan Yan smiled, “As long as he is happy.”
The feeling of being uncomfortable but unable to cry when receiving the flowers, Tan Yan doesn’t want to experience it again.
Minister Yu: “…”
It’s hard for an upright official to decide on family matters. Minister Yu, who just finished handling the matter of Yang Da Ma’s family with ease, doesn’t know how to intervene in his son’s emotional problems.
Of course, he wouldn’t agree to Liang Xian and Tan Yan being together in his heart, whether it is from the standpoint of a father or a boss, or even from the standpoint of Tan Yan’s leader and friends, he wouldn’t agree.
But neither of these two people seems to listen to him. Both are supernatural beings, and his supernatural powers can’t affect the two of them.
His opposition is of no use at all.
Xu Mingyu was afraid that he would faint again, so he quickly patted him on the back.
“No need to pat,” Minister Yu waved his hand, “You guys… hey, whatever, I’ll pretend not to know.”
The future of these two people is simply hopeless, the gap of 39 years is not so easy to make up, on the basis of what Tan Yan said, he knew that what he could give was totally different from what Liang Xian wanted.
Let’s take one step at a time. If he wants to persuade him, he has to at least wait for that brat Liang Xian to come back.
‘Void’, hurry up and come.
In everyone’s anticipation, this time, the ‘void’ finally arrived on New Year’s Day in 2019. That night, the base made dumplings. When Tu Zishi put a mouthful of dumplings into his mouth, he suddenly fainted.
About five minutes later, Tu Zishi woke up, he looked at his watch, 19:13.
Tu Zishi immediately picked up the walkie-talkie, received the channel of Minister Yu and Qiao Zhixue, and said anxiously: “The time for the next ‘void’ appearance, 20:16, XX shopping mall.”
The author has something to say:
I took the voice of the little deer from the poem ‘Across the banks a deer bleats, in the wilds where it eats3呦呦鹿鳴，食野之蘋 Yōu yōu lù míng, shí yě zhī píng: a snippet from Cao Cao’s famed Short Song Style poem.‘, in fact, deer don’t seem to call like this, hehehe…
Also, pay attention, pay attention!! Well, my dears, it is indeed easy to have the same name as Yang Shumei. After all, there are many people with this name in the early years, and it is too easy to have the same name. But please remember, she is only a plot character, the little angel who collided with his own mother’s name, must not be emotional, just treat it as a plot character.
I think Yang Shumei is a beautiful name.
