I make a living solving crimes.

Chapter 16 I'll Warn Them

Chang Da carefully folded the newspaper and put it in the cabinet, holding Chang Wei's arm with pride.

Chang Wei was also very proud of himself. He had never been so glorious in his previous life.

Youth Daily, even though it’s not on the front page, it’s still Youth Daily.

[Caught a thief, points +1, reward: ten boxes of barreled braised beef noodles, a pig hind leg].

The case of the thief caught in the afternoon was closed, and the system reward came. The points have reached 22, but I don’t know what it is for.

Chang Wei couldn't figure it out, and he was too lazy to think about it. It was just like when the All-Seeing Eye was upgraded before, he couldn't figure it out. He would naturally understand it when the time came.

Now he knows that when a crime happens in front of him, the system will alert him and the criminal's name will turn from green to red.

As long as the stolen goods are not sold, the color of the name will not change back.

Awesome.

Chang Wei started cooking, well, let’s eat rice today.

In his previous life, he was from the south, so he could make do with pasta, but he really couldn’t eat cornmeal every day.

Now I just want a bowl of soft and glutinous rice, mixed with lard and a little soy sauce. I can eat three big bowls without any vegetables.

Chang Long diligently brought him a basin of clean water for him to wash his face, her eyes full of anticipation.

This girl really won't do anything without benefits.

Chang Long took the mouse candy and ran over to make the little girl cry. She ran over on her short legs to complain to Chang Wei.

Chang Wei found a towel to wipe the saliva off her chin and coaxed her to walk into the yard.

Children all need snacks, but eating too much sugar is not good for them.

The yard is bustling today. The old man of the Xu family who lived in the west wing of the backyard has retired, and his son Xu Damao has taken over the job. It is worth it that the old man Xu taught his son for three years, otherwise, a man with only a junior high school education would not be qualified to be a projectionist.

Xu Damao can finally be proud of himself today. He learned film projection from his father for three years without any salary. Now he is 20 years old and can earn 33.5 yuan a month.

He didn't stay at home in the backyard, but went to the front yard to wait for He Yuzhu to get off work.

These two men are old enemies and old residents of the courtyard. They have been fighting since they were young. Xu Damao has often been ridiculed by He Yuzhu for not taking the money. They would fight every time they quarreled. The key point is that Xu Damao, who is 1.82 meters tall, can't beat He Yuzhu, who is 1.75 meters tall.

"Hey, Shazhu, I'm a projectionist now."

"Virtue, buddy is a cook."

There is a saying that there are eight types of the most enviable grassroots jobs in the 1950s and 1960s. There are various versions of this saying, and in some versions projectionists are also included. But no matter which version, cooks are always among them, and ranked high.

What made Xu Damao most angry was that there was a new song this year, "Singing the Glorious Eight Members", which was considered to be a rehabilitative song for the Eight Members. There were cooks among them, but no projectionists.

This made Xu Damao very angry.

"Thirty-three dollars and fifty cents a month, buddy."

"That's a lot. Four more and you'll catch up with me."

Chang Wei was puzzled. He Yuzhu only made 37.5 yuan now. How come he still made so little after seven years? With his ability, it shouldn't be possible. His cooking skills were so great that even department-level leaders were willing to have him cook at home.

I guess it's because of his foul mouth that he offended people.

Xu Damao, who was killed twice, was furious and rushed over to attack, but He Yuzhu grabbed him by the collar and threw him to the ground.

He Yuzhu learned traditional wrestling, and he really learned it.

The system flashed, and He Yuzhu's name turned green and red. Chang Wei was too lazy to pay attention to these two people. One was stupid and the other was bad. Without them, there would be less trouble in the courtyard.

When Yang Min came back, the middle courtyard was in turmoil. She walked into the house and asked curiously, "What's going on in the courtyard?"

Chang Weigang brought the meal to the table, a plate of grilled fish fillets, a portion of steamed eggs, a plate of stir-fried cabbage, and a plate of shredded potatoes. It was like celebrating New Year every day.

Hearing Yang Min asking, he pointed at Chang Da who was still laughing foolishly at the head of the bed and said, "Let's take care of your silly girl first."

Chang Da was the only one who was happy. Chang Tian, ​​Chang Long and the little girl were all lying on the table to smell the scent, and the three little ones couldn't take their eyes off.

Yang Min looked at the food and sighed, "No one lives like you."

Chang Wei rubbed the heads of the third and fourth children and said, "Eat more if you can. It won't hurt if you eat it."

After hearing this, Chang Tian straightened his chest and said, "Brother, I can finish it all."

Chang Wei smiled and said, "Then let's have a competition. The last one to finish eating will wash the dishes."

Chang Long glanced at the drooling little girl and felt that he would not lose.

Yang Min walked into the north room and saw her eldest daughter still laughing foolishly. She walked over and took a photo of her. "Did you pick up any money today?"

Chang Da came back to her senses, looked at Chang Wei who was busy in the living room and said with emotion: "My brother is so capable now that he is even in the newspaper."

Yang Min didn't know about this yet, and asked in shock: "What newspaper?"

Chang Da hurried to get it. Yang Min looked at her son's bright smile in the photo, then silently turned to look at the picture of Chang Kun hanging on the wall, and her eyes began to well up.

After being naughty for more than ten years, he suddenly became sensible, and life at home improved so much that Yang Min couldn't believe it was real.

While his mother was still there, Chang Wei dug a hole in the middle of each bowl of rice, stuffed a large spoonful of lard into it, covered it with rice, and then dripped a layer of soy sauce on it. The three little ones' stomachs began to growl.

Yang Min came out and took just one bite when she felt something was wrong. She rolled her eyes at Chang Wei, put down the bowl in her hand, picked up another bowl and filled it with another.

Chang Wei said nothing. He snatched the bowl from Yang Min and placed it next to him. He then put the bowl soaked with lard back into his mother's hands and turned to scoop steamed eggs for the little girl.

Yang Min pursed her lips, picked up the bowl and began to eat slowly, taking small bites and chewing each bite for a long time.

The melted lard seeps into the rice, making it shiny with oil. Add the salty taste of soy sauce and every bite is a pleasure.

Chang Wei ate two bowls of rice, burped contentedly, looked at Chang Tian and asked, "Did the hen lay eggs today?"

Chang Tian thought for a moment and said, "Brother, no."

Chang Wei suddenly perked up, "What day is it today?"

Chang Tian was stunned for a moment and didn't react. Yang Min immediately tapped Chang Wei with chopsticks: "It's only the second day, don't think about the old hen."

Chang Wei shouted, "No, I brought it back the night before yesterday. Today is the third day."

Yang Min warned: "It won't work on the third day either. That old hen can obviously lay eggs."

Chang Wei was depressed for a while, then stood up angrily and said, "I have to go and warn them. If they don't lay eggs tomorrow, they will have to drink chicken soup the day after tomorrow."

After saying that, he stood up and ran.

Chang Long hurriedly went to pull it, it was an old hen that could lay eggs.

The eggs are really delicious.

Chang Wei's clothes were pulled, and he turned around and said, "I've made chicken soup, and I'll give you a big chicken drumstick."

The strength in Chang Long's hands weakened unconsciously and Chang Wei broke free from him.

Chang Da, who had no idea what was going on, was stunned.

After smoking a cigarette with the old hen in the kitchen, Chang Wei strolled out of the yard.

Unconsciously, he arrived at the Gulou Chinese Medicine Hospital. He walked around the wards and saw an old woman selling hens eating cornmeal dumplings with her son.

He found the nurse and asked about the situation, then left the ward and jumped down the six flights of stairs in a happy mood.

It seems there is a cure.
