An Jing laughed and pointed to the crib: "Go see your daughter quickly."

Zhou Andong shook his head, came to the window, grabbed Jian Qiu's hand, and said affectionately:

"Wife, you've worked hard."

An Jing shuddered violently: "Oh my god, discharging electricity as soon as you arrive is really unbearable. Leaving, leaving."

Jian Qiu said with a smile: "It's so late, let Dongzi send you back."

"No need!" An Jing refused: "He has also been on the road for more than ten hours, I don't dare to trouble him, not to mention he hasn't seen his daughter yet."

Zhou Andong checked the time, it was already past ten o'clock: "Wentian and the others are outside, I'll let him send you back."

This time An Jing didn't refuse. Zhou Andong turned and walked out of the ward. Wang Wentian and the others were smoking at the stairs. Seeing him come out, they hurriedly put out their cigarettes.

"Chairman!"

Zhou Andong instructed: "You send Manager An home, you must send her upstairs and see her enter the house."

This wasn't him being overly cautious. After the '83 crackdown, social security had improved greatly, and major criminal cases were rare.

However, the effect of the crackdown didn't last long. Just a few years later, at the end of the eighties, security plummeted again, and vicious cases occurred frequently.

This was mainly because Western culture had a great impact on the country, and the country also had a clear gap between rich and poor. Many people were unbalanced in their hearts, so they provoked trouble and destroyed social order.

And by next year, 1995, it would be the year with the highest incidence of vicious cases in the country. In this year, the number of filed cases exceeded 1.5 million, and major cases involving guns, gambling, drugs, and criminal gangs occurred frequently.

In 1996, Jingcheng had the first vicious case since the founding of the country involving an armed robbery of a bank cash transport vehicle, resulting in two deaths and one injury. The bandits held Type 56 automatic rifles and looted the cash transport vehicle parked in front of the bank.

In the end, two bank staff members were shot and killed, one was seriously injured, and millions of yuan in cash were stolen, and this bandit was actually an escaped prisoner.

Plus, in order to welcome the '97 return, social stability had to be guaranteed, so '96 ushered in another crackdown. And this crackdown learned from the lessons of the last one and pushed forward the Firearms Management Law.

It was now July 1994, and vicious cases were occurring frequently, and the deterioration of security was even more obvious. An Jing, a woman, and a woman with money and beauty, going home alone in the middle of the night, even taking a taxi wasn't safe.

An Jing said helplessly: "Is there no need for this?"

"How is there no need?" Zhou Andong said seriously: "Haven't you watched the news? Three police officers and many masses were shot and killed. In addition, in Jinmen, from June last year to now, more than ten taxi drivers have been killed and robbed.

And a while ago, a large-scale armed fight occurred in a dance hall, one died and seven or eight were injured, among whom two onlookers were seriously injured by machetes."

An Jing suddenly remembered that yesterday morning she heard a few waiters chatting that a family in Chaoyang was robbed, and the whole family of three was killed.

"Understood, understood!" An Jing answered very impatiently, but the corners of her eyes were full of smiles: "I'm leaving."

Watching Wang Wentian and An Jing leave, Zhou Andong told Lian Kai and the others: "Alright, you guys also go find a hotel to rest, don't all guard here."

After speaking, he turned and entered the ward, then couldn't wait to come to the crib and stared at the little person sleeping soundly inside.

"So small."

Zhou Andong said this and reached out to pick her up, but changed several postures and didn't dare to pick her up, afraid of hurting this little person.

Seeing Zhou Andong's helpless appearance, Jian Qiu laughed: "Wait until she wakes up to pick her up. If you pick her up now, she might cry if you wake her up."

Zhou Andong sighed with some unwillingness, then came to the bedside, looked at Su Su who was also sleeping soundly, and lowered his head to kiss her on her small face gently.

Jian Qiu sat up, pulled Zhou Andong to sit beside her: "I tell you, Su Su is too sensible."

She leaned her head on Zhou Andong's shoulder and whispered the matter: "You don't know, both moms were here, and An Jing, we were all almost moved to tears by this little girl."

Zhou Andong gently stroked Su Su's hair: "She's only two and a half years old, sensible enough to make people's hearts ache."

Jian Qiu rubbed her head on Zhou Andong's chest, a smile appearing on her face: "She fell asleep after eating milk, she will be our own daughter from now on."

Zhou Andong pondered: "I think we should go pay the over-quota birth fine. When Su Su grows up, in case she hears any gossip, we can take out the younger sister's over-quota birth fine receipt to prove she is our own."

"This method is good." Jian Qiu's eyes lit up, and she immediately sat up straight: "Although it's not certain that it can dispel her doubts 100%, some things we have to do now."

"I'll go pay the fine at the neighborhood family planning office when I have time these few days." Zhou Andong pondered: "It's just that this matter has to be helped by Aunt Ma, otherwise this fine, we want to pay, it's not so easy."

Jian Qiu said with some worry: "If there are many people, the mouth is mixed. When Su Su grows up, if she really knows something and starts investigating, if someone talks nonsense, our fine will be paid in vain."

"Indeed!" Zhou Andong said with a smile: "According to the regulations, the over-quota birth fine is three to ten times the per capita income. Now the per capita income in Jingcheng is about six thousand, we will definitely pay the fine at the top, which is sixty thousand, this is not a small amount of money."

Jian Qiu rolled her eyes at Zhou Andong: "I think, let Mom handle this matter, go directly to the Family Planning Commission to find the leader in charge. In this way, even if Su Su wants to investigate when she grows up, it won't be so easy."

"Fine!" Zhou Andong also felt that it was more reliable to let his mother-in-law go out.

The two chatted until past twelve o'clock, Jian Qiu fed the child again, and Zhou Andong finally held his daughter, excited and lying on the companion bed, unable to sleep, getting up from time to time to look at the little person in the crib, and clumsily changed the diaper twice, which made Jian Qiu laugh for a long time.

Before eight o'clock the next morning, Gu Minglan arrived first, and asked when she saw Zhou Andong.

"What time did you arrive last night?"

Zhou Andong yawned: "Past ten."

Gu Minglan first looked at the little person in the crib, reached into the little fellow's butt and touched it, and after confirming it was dry, looked at Su Su who was still sleeping soundly.

"Who changed the diaper for the child last night?"

"Her father." Thinking of Zhou Andong's clumsy appearance last night, Jian Qiu couldn't help but laugh.

Zhou Andong glared at her: "I'm going out to eat, Mom, what do you want to eat, I'll bring it back for you."

"You go eat yourself."

Gu Minglan checked the thermos, found there was no water in it, and walked out carrying it.

"Your mom will bring food for Qiuqiu in a while, and will also bring it for me."

"So, you all have food, but I don't." Zhou Andong followed his mother-in-law out: "How come I feel like I'm a bit out of place in this family."
