[Everyday Life in the 1980s] [Career Advancement] [Fierce Wife Who Protects Her Husband]
In 1981, demobilized soldier Zhao Mubai was assigned to work the night shift as a security guard at the zoo. On his first day, he ran into his newlywed wife, Qin Fengying, pinning a 300-pound Siberian tiger to the ground with one hand and rubbing its face in the mud.
Seeing that his wife's arms were thicker than his thighs, Zhao Mubai swallowed hard and swore to himself: no matter what, he must never tell her that wearing a battered hat let him understand animals. Otherwise, she'd slap his head clean off!
He had expected the night guard job to be dull, but after putting on the hat, Zhao Mubai discovered it was one giant gossip fest!
Cuihua the parrot was a friendly gossip who spilled the canteen chef's secret: he stole meat every day.
The chimpanzee had a short fuse and complained about humans at every opportunity.
Even a peacock's love affair led to a three-year-old murder case involving a body buried in an air-raid shelter!
The police department sent him a giant red banner, and the zoo director personally announced his promotion and raise!
Watching her husband grow more impressive by the day, Qin Fengying's eyes lit up. "My man is amazing! If anyone dares bully you, I'll twist their head right off!"
Dahua the Siberian tiger trembled in its cage. "Your wife is terrifying, bro. Please do something about her!"
Zhao Mubai touched the battered hat on his head and spread his hands helplessly. "I can't. There's just no controlling her. All I can do is catch a few thieves, solve a few cases, and work hard to earn enough to buy my wife some meat!"
