Chapter 15 Little Chang Wei

"Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!"

"Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!"

The chirping of cicadas in summer does not have the poetic romance described in books, but only unbearable irritability.

No wonder the Fourth Master set up a special place to catch fishing rods.

Chang Wei hid in the shade of a tree. In the large wooden basin in front of him, grass carp, silver carp, crucian carp, and bream were swimming happily, occasionally jumping out of the water and swimming repeatedly on the muddy ground.

The fish's willingness to die to demonstrate its will did not move Chang Wei. He picked up the fish and threw it back into the basin with an expressionless face.

This damn weather.

In order to earn an extra 1.4 cents per pound, Chang Wei not only sold 30 pounds at the recycling station every day to cover up the truth, but also set up a stall outside Deshengmen for two hours.

The woman carrying a basket walked to the stall, picked up a crucian carp weighing a few kilograms, and asked, "Young man, how much is one kilogram?"

Chang Wei was drowsy. When he heard someone asking, he said weakly, "Si Mao."

"What? So expensive?"

"Auntie, 45 cents at the vegetable market."

"I walked all this way here, and you're just going to give me five cents less?"

"You won't lose money if you buy more."

"If you give me less, five cents less, I'll buy two."

Chang Wei didn't know what sin he had committed in his previous life that sent him back to this era, bargaining with an old lady for five cents in the hot summer.

In later lives, he would not even pick up a dollar if it fell on the ground.

The sixteen-liang beam scale was not easy to use, and the accounts were not easy to calculate. He was used to the decimal system, and now he had learned to use a stick to make drafts on the ground when calculating.

The aunt looked at the handsome young man in front of her with dull eyes and suddenly felt distressed. He was a good child, just a little silly.

"Okay, okay, it's only 40 cents. Weight me two. My wife just gave birth to a grandson, and crucian carp helps to increase milk production."

"Pick me two good ones, or they'll stink when you go back."

"This one swims happily. I can feed it for two days when I get back. But I dare not eat it all in one day."

"Hey, little brother, where did you get this fish? Is this bream also worth 40 cents? Let me tell you, bream is not worth much."

"You still have carp here, would you sell it for 35 cents?"

Chang Wei was going crazy. Was this old lady from Dunhuang?

After counting the money and looking at the bills in his hand, he sighed and wondered what he could have done with this little money in his previous life.

The biggest gain today was a three-yuan RMB note that was 99% new.

After selling the fish in the basin, Chang Wei was too lazy to restock. He returned the basin to the militia shack and walked slowly towards the city.

When he arrived at Beibingmasi Hutong, the system suddenly started to alarm. He looked around in confusion and saw the green name "Qian Wu" on the head of a guy in his early twenties standing by the road suddenly turned red. Chang Wei looked carefully and saw that Qian Wu had nimble fingers. With just a casual bump, the wallet on the man in the Zhongshan suit had changed owners.

Is this a new feature after the upgrade of the All-Seeing Eye?

Chang Wei walked straight over and patted the man in the Zhongshan suit. Under the man's astonished gaze, Chang Wei used the Black Dragon Claw to pin Qian Wu down with one arm.

"Let go, let go, someone is hitting someone."

"Killing, killing."

Qian Wuji was yelling and screaming, his right arm was twisted behind his back by Chang Wei. He couldn't get it free no matter how hard he tried, and it hurt so much when he exerted the slightest force.

Everyone around looked over. Chang Wei twisted Qian Wu's wrist with one arm and hung him up. With his other hand, he slapped the back of his head and said to the man in the Zhongshan suit, "Touch your wallet."

The man in the Zhongshan suit felt his waist pocket and immediately realized what was wrong. There was a ten-centimeter cut under the pocket.

"Little brother, this, this is a thief?"

The people who were watching the fun just now suddenly understood and saw Chang Wei taking out a wallet from Qian Wu's inner pocket. At this time, the name above Qian Wu's head turned green again.

Chang Wei stuffed the wallet back into his pocket, and Qian Wu, with a little green on his head, became popular again.

The middle-aged man quickly said, "Little brother, that wallet is mine."

Chang Wei took out his wallet and said, "Follow me to the Gulou Police Station."

"Hey, here, little brother, I'm in a hurry to do something."

"Then go to the police station to collect it after you finish your business."

Chang Wei ignored him, twisted the thief's arm and took him to the police station.

"Hey, hey, give me your wallet."

"How do you prove it's yours?"

There were no ID cards in those days, and no one would carry a thick work ID in their wallet. Even if he could explain clearly, Chang Wei would not pay any attention to him. Catching a thief and taking stolen goods is something he knew since he was ten years old.

A thief and a victim of the theft, the two followed Chang Wei to the Gulou Police Station dejectedly. Old man Zhang saw him from afar and was afraid that he had caused some trouble, so he walked out of the message room quickly with a stick in his hand.

Although the old man is in his sixties or seventies, his hands are as thin and strong as eagle claws.

Chang Wei was very proud and shouted from a distance: "Old man, I caught another thief."

Old man Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and said disdainfully: "You can only catch thieves."

Chang Wei's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "That's not what you said yesterday."

Old man Zhang put his hands behind his back and regained his old self. He walked back to the message room slowly and said, "I was drunk yesterday. Don't take my nonsense seriously."

Chang Wei was not convinced and took Qian Wu to the police station. He happened to meet Wu Jimao and handed the money over to him.

Wu Jimao took over the man, took the wallet and exclaimed: "Little Chang Wei, you are amazing."

Chang Wei rolled his eyes at him and said, "You are small, everything about you is small."

Wu Jimao was confused. He was four years older than Chang Wei. How could calling him "Little Chang Wei" make him unhappy?

Chang Wei walked towards Zhang Youde's office in a depressed mood. When he got here, nine out of ten people called him "Little Chang Wei". Is he really that little?

Do you want to practice Latin dance when you have nothing to do?

Bah bah bah!

Walking into the office, Zhang Youde glared, and Chang Wei also glared, big eyes looking at small eyes, Zhang Youde jokingly said: "Who provokes you?"

"No, it's hot."

"Why don't you just stay at home and rest when it's hot? Why are you running around everywhere?"

"Master, I will be unhappy if you say that."

"Oh, you've grown a bad temper."

"Hehe, I just caught a Buddha, and no one paid me a penny, and you don't praise me."

Zhang Youde smiled at his childish appearance and handed him a neatly folded newspaper. "Here are all the compliments for you. Go and have a look for yourself."

On the second page of Youth Daily, Chang Wei’s four sentences became the subtitle, and in the photo with his mouth grinning, he had a bright smile.

The report was full of compliments, praising Chang Wei's three generations of ancestors.

“Why did you report it today?”

"Nonsense, how dare you write about your situation in such a big newspaper without verifying it?"

"Then I have to take it back to show my mother."

Chang Wei folded the newspaper carefully. He decided to go to the reading room later, as he remembered there was also a copy there.

"Don't run around these two days. Someone will probably come talk to you."

Chang Wei's head immediately began to hurt, and his face was wrinkled as he said, "Master, I tend to talk nonsense when my brain is cramped. Please help me talk."

Zhang Youde sneered and said, "Are you scared now?"

Chang Wei nodded repeatedly. He must have been crazy when he said these words.

"Don't worry, they are from the branch office. The people in the system won't make things difficult for you."

Chang Wei was helpless. He couldn't refuse this. Even though he was an ordinary person now, he couldn't refuse the organized talk, not to mention that he was going to attend the Police School soon.

In fact, he just wanted to survive until he could make some money by taking advantage of loopholes, and then make a comeback when he was fifty years old.
