Chapter 6

"Creak!" The bus stopped suddenly, the front door opened, and the chubby conductor sister jumped off the bus very nimbly: "Close the door, don't let him run."

Only then did the people in the carriage realize that the bus had driven to the entrance of the police station, and the conductor had already rushed into the police station.

The lecherous man panicked, howling hoarsely: "Open the door, open the door quickly." Then he started kicking the bus door *bang, bang, bang*.

The driver was indifferent, and the lecherous man suddenly took out a dagger, his face ferocious as he stabbed hard at Zhou Andong: "Pervert, get lost!"

Zhou Andong shouted "Mom" and dodged. The lecherous man brandished the dagger and rushed toward the driver: "Get out of the way, all get out of the way."

The people standing in the aisle were scared and hurriedly moved away. Zhou Andong turned and stepped forward, grabbing the lecherous man's hair and pulling it back hard: "You come back here."

The lecherous man's head tilted back suddenly, and then he fell heavily to the ground, limbs splayed.

Zhou Andong stepped on the lecherous man's chest, reached out and grabbed the wrist of the hand holding the knife, and exerted force. The lecherous man screamed, and the dagger fell to the ground with a *clatter*.

At this moment, the front door opened, and three police officers got on the bus. The chubby conductor sister was full of righteousness, pointing at the lecherous man and shouting loudly: "It's him!"

Watching the lecherous man being handcuffed, Zhou Andong shook his head slightly. Now the crime of hooliganism had not yet been abolished, and in the Criminal Law, there were six types of crimes that increased the sentencing range, with the crime of hooliganism at the top. And this guy molested a woman on the bus and even took out a knife; it was definitely a serious case, and a maximum of seven years was definitely not going to run away. If it were back in '83, eating peanuts (being executed) was possible.

Zhou Andong and many eyewitness passengers got off the bus and were arranged to go to a conference room to make a statement.

The matter was clear and simple, and it was finished quickly. Just as everyone was about to leave, the police station chief, Liu Hai, returned from outside. After hearing the course of events, he shook Zhou Andong's hand very enthusiastically.

"Comrade Zhou Andong, thank you for stepping forward to stop the suspect from continuing his crime."

Zhou Andong said indifferently: "It's nothing. Stepping forward bravely, helping the needy, and sacrificing oneself to save others are the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation. As a Chinese youth of the new era, I have always reminded myself to cherish this era and shoulder the mission of the era, so that I can temper myself in taking responsibility and grow in fulfilling duties, striving to become a socialist builder and successor of the new era who develops comprehensively in morality, intelligence, physique, aesthetics, and labor."

He put on such a show that everyone was stunned, including Chief Liu in front of him, who sighed: "I will definitely report this matter to the branch bureau and award you a bravery award."

Zhou Andong looked righteous: "This is what I should do; the bravery award is not necessary."

"No!" Liu Hai said seriously: "There are very few young people with such awareness like you now, and the spirit of bravery must be promoted."

Zhou Andong nodded very seriously: "Chief Liu, I agree with your words very much. Promoting the spirit of bravery is an important part of socialist spiritual civilization construction and also an important measure for practicing socialist core values and maintaining social harmony and stability."

Liu Hai patted Zhou Andong's shoulder with gratification: "Well said. My son is nineteen this year, didn't get into college, has been wandering at home for almost two years. Finding him a job, he thinks it's tiring, and he's idle all day."

Zhou Andong smiled slightly: "The child is still young, he'll be fine when he's older."

"He's already nineteen, is he still young?" Liu Hai shook his head: "Have time to come home for a meal, you guys get to know each other, let him learn from you."

Zhou Andong said: "No problem!"

Liu Hai smiled and personally sent Zhou Andong to the door, and then he saw a very strange phenomenon: everyone kept a certain distance from Zhou Andong.

"How can you treat a hero who stepped forward bravely like this?" Liu Hai was very angry but also helpless, turning around to walk back.

A police officer looked at Liu Hai's swinging hands and suddenly shivered, quickly chasing after him: "Chief Liu, that, do you want to look at the statement?"

Liu Hai said: "Such a simple case, what's there to look at."

The police officer said with a strange face: "You'd better look at it."

"Hurry up and get on the bus!" The chubby conductor sister's voice was still as loud as ever.

It was already past eleven o'clock. Zhou Andong didn't get on the bus and left the police station to find a place to eat. Suddenly, his shoulder was patted from behind, and then a beautiful figure with a ponytail and a small bag slung across her body jumped in front of him.

"Brother-in-law!"

Zhou Andong was startled and said unexpectedly: "Yuyue, why are you here?"

Jiang Yuyue smiled and pointed at the bus that had driven away: "I was also on that bus."

Zhou Andong said: "On vacation so early? You must be attending a fake university."

Jiang Yuyue said angrily: "My sister left last night, and I don't know when she'll be back, so I asked for leave to come back and see her off."

Zhou Andong nodded: "That's true!"

"Where are you going?" Jiang Yuyue asked.

Zhou Andong said: "Don't know, just walking around."

Jiang Yuyue walked backward, facing Zhou Andong, with a smile on her face: "Did my sister dump you, making you feel terrible, wanting to find a place to drink and relieve your sorrow?"

Zhou Andong took out a cigarette and lit it: "Why hang myself on your sister's tree when there's a whole forest of beauties on the street?"

Jiang Yuyue naturally reached out and hugged Zhou Andong's arm: "Stop being stubborn, I'll accompany you for a drink."

Zhou Andong pulled his arm out: "Men and women shouldn't touch, not to mention your sister and I have already divorced. Also, stop calling me brother-in-law, it's very inappropriate."

"Virtue!" Jiang Yuyue rolled her eyes: "I won't call you brother-in-law, I'll call you Dongzi, okay?"

Zhou Andong took a drag of his cigarette: "Okay!"

A flash of cunning flashed in Jiang Yuyue's eyes: "Dongzi, I'm hungry, I want to eat Qin family soup-filled steamed buns."

"I have no money!" Zhou Andong refused without hesitation, then smacked his lips: "Hearing 'Dongzi' from your mouth, why do I feel so awkward?"

Jiang Yuyue's mouth curved into an arc: "I have money, I'll treat you."

Since someone was treating, Zhou Andong naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to refuse: "If you treat, then no problem."

It's strange to say, but in this whole Jiang family, not a single person looked down on him, only Jiang Yuyue had the best relationship with him. No matter what happened, as long as he had a dispute with this family, this girl would guarantee to stand on his side.

Jiang Yuyue pointed ahead and said: "Ahead is the Children's Park, let's go for a stroll."

Zhou Andong said: "What's there to stroll about? Besides, aren't you hungry?"

Jiang Yuyue said: "Even if I'm hungry, it doesn't matter for a while."

It's called the Children's Park, but it had actually been occupied by grandpas and grandmas. At this time, there was no square dancing, but people were practicing qigong everywhere. Standing, squatting, sitting, lying down—they weren't even afraid of catching a cold or getting diarrhea. There were even people holding pot lids.

But what attracted Zhou Andong the most was the vendor selling calendars by the roadside. He walked over quickly, staring blankly at the bikini beauties on the calendars.

He remembered that in his previous life, the founder of a well-known dairy company borrowed 100,000 from the bank in 1993, printed a batch of calendars to sell, earned his first pot of gold, and then used the money earned from selling calendars to enter the dairy market.

At that time, he also checked online and found that the 80s and 90s were the most violent and explosive era for calendars, the golden age of calendar beauties.

In an era without the internet, where fashion media and entertainment TV programs were not yet developed, magazine covers and calendars were the most reliable fashion benchmarks, influencing the public's visual aesthetics and imagination.

Especially swimsuit beauty calendars were the most popular. A calendar was priced at a few yuan, with a print run of 300,000 copies, and the profit could reach 8 million. Therefore, it triggered a calendar war, which was even reported by CCTV news in 1990.
