I make a living solving crimes.

A gurgling stream flows through the foot of the mountain. At the open space at the intersection of Changsheng Village, a military green jeep is parked here, which is particularly eye-catching.

The villagers have seen cars. This place is only six miles away from the county town, and occasionally you can see a few cars going into the city.

But this was the first time I drove into the village.

The adults gathered around to look at her and chat with Yang Min about family matters. A few bold children climbed up by grabbing hold of the ladder with their little hands.

Chang Tian and Chang Long were heartbroken but they didn't dare to scold them. They didn't grow up in the village and weren't familiar with the villagers. They could only stand aside and stare at them with aggrieved look on their faces.

The little girl found everything curious. Sometimes she wanted to go to the river to play in the water, and sometimes she wanted to climb up the tree to pick flowers. Unfortunately, she was too timid. She could only stay in Chang Wei's arms, hiding her little face, and peeking out her big black eyes to look around.

It happened that Chang Da and several of her childhood friends returned to her mother's home, and they gathered together, wiping their tears and pouring out their hearts to each other.

"Brother, brother." A silver bell-like voice came from a distance. The pretty girl walked over quickly, shaking the bucket in her hand slightly. In the sunlight, she showed her white teeth and said happily to Yang Min and Chang Da: "Aunt, sister, you are finally back."

Yang Min hugged Chang Ni and touched her little face curiously.

"What's in the bucket?" Chang Wei poked his head out to take a look. It turned out to be eels and loaches. "Where did you get them?"

"Sixth uncle caught them in the river. He knew you would come back today, so he let me take some home."

Chang Long called out to her second sister and she came over. She stood in front of the bucket with her eyes wide open, not at all afraid of the twisted and slippery appearance of the eel. She poked it gently with her finger and said, "Second sister, are we going to kill it for lunch?"

Chang Ni took Chang Long's arm and led her up the mountain. "We'll eat at noon. We have pheasant and wild boar meat at home."

Yang Min greeted the people at the entrance of the village, took the little girl and went up the mountain together, his steps becoming more and more brisk.

She is the daughter-in-law of the Chang family, but she grew up here since she was a child and has a special feeling for the mountains and rivers here.

Only Chang Da, Chang Wei and Chang Tian each carried a bag on their backs, like refugees fleeing famine.

The whole family was there, and they were calling "Ancestor", "Grandpa", and "Grandma".

By the time Chang Wei put his things away, Chang Nan had already pulled Chang Tian to the yard to play with glass balls. Chang Ni hugged Chang Long to kill eels. Only the little girl didn't dare to go far. She tilted her little head back to look at the osmanthus tree in the yard.

In the inner room, Yang Min and Chang Da were laughing happily beside the old lady's kang. When they saw Grandpa Chang coming in, they hurriedly said, "Dad, I brought back some food. Please keep it. I will ask Xiao Wei to bring it back next month when we buy food."

Grandpa Chang treated Yang Min like his own daughter and was not polite, but he was worried and asked, "Is there enough food in the city?"

"Enough. The city is more convenient than the village. Xiao Wei can get food. He wanted to bring some fine grains, but Xiao Wei was afraid that it would be annoying to the villagers, so he said he would bring it next time when he came back alone."

"The child is right. There are many people in the village and they are talkative. We should be more careful." The old man took out the pipe and slowly filled it with tobacco. "Tell the child to be careful and don't make mistakes."

"Xiao Wei knows what he is doing. He won't take what he shouldn't."

Yang Min felt a little proud when talking about this, and mentioned that the money given by the capitalists was donated by Chang Wei to the poor people in the street.

The old lady chanted "Infinite Life and Blessings" several times on the kang, and smiled and praised: "This is a great deed to accumulate virtue. When his grandfather was alive, he would give medicine to poor people when he saw them seeking medical treatment."

Grandpa Chang also echoed: "A family that accumulates good deeds will surely have more blessings."

His two sons sacrificed their lives, but that was for the country. Look at the fourth generation, Chang Wei, Chang Tian, ​​and Chang Nan, which one of them is not a good one?

As they were talking, a little girl came running in on her short legs, holding a osmanthus branch in her hand and with a few small yellow flowers on her head. She shouted, "Grandma! Grandma!" and threw herself into Yang Min's arms.

This is the fifth generation of the Chang family, and they are now growing vigorously.

Chang Wei prepared lunch, including eel braised with soybeans, loach stewed with tofu, and pheasant and radish soup. Two physical fruits fell silently.

"I asked your aunt, Uncle Eleven and Uncle Thirteen to hide the big pot." Grandpa Chang sat behind the stove and made a fire, talking while smooching his pipe.

Grandpa Chang is the sixth child in the family, but his six brothers belong to three branches of the family. Only he and his fifth brother are born to the old lady, and he also has a married sister, who is Chang Wei's aunt.

The old man was naughty when he was a child, and his fifth brother often took beatings for him. Now that his fifth brother is gone, he has to take care of his two nephews, not to mention his own sister.

Chang Wei poked his head out from the wall separating the stove and said, "Hide the big pot, and put away the small pot if you want. You can buy some in the city. I'll buy a few as a backup later."

"Well, it's best if you can buy it. Don't rush to take it back. Wait until you need it. They have to spend money, otherwise a big favor will turn into an enemy. Even if they are close relatives, you can't be too generous. Help in times of emergency but not in poverty."

"Well, you tell me, if you have anything, go to the county town or call me at the commune."

"Don't rush to take the food back. Wait and see. You should also save some food for yourself."

"Yes, yes, don't worry, Grandpa."

There are indeed a lot of them. The serious case at the train station has not been closed yet and still needs approval from the local authorities. The system issued rewards to the more than 80 thieves last night.

Probably because they knew that difficulties were about to begin, they gave them practical things, including food, vegetables, and meat, as well as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, cotton cloth, cotton, and even toilet paper.

"Your second uncle wrote back and said he has already gone to the Northeast. Let's see if he can come back to visit next month."

"That's great. I haven't seen him for two or three years."

"I said I brought you a gun. It's from the U.S. Army. It also has a telescope. I don't know what it is."

Chang Wei thought for a moment, is this a Garand M1, or a sniper version?

This thing is a rare treasure, and it can only be found in the hands of military officers who have been to North Korea.

He has enough guns to hold a small expo.

The black Type 54, the twenty-shot from the old leader, the Browning in Su Can's hand, the Colt in Zhang Yu's hand, the Type 565 from Director Wei, and the Garand from my second uncle...

If he encounters the enemy again, he can suppress them with firepower alone and make them unable to raise their heads.

While eating, he picked up a piece of eel fillet, sank into the black space and looked around. The fish pond was full of life. He knocked his feet on the bucket, and suddenly half of the eels and loaches in it were gone.

That day, it was not until dusk that Yang Min wiped her tears and took the bus home. The old lady accompanied her to the village entrance.

After the holidays everything returns to normal.

It was a sunny afternoon, and Chang Wei was drowsy in his office when he heard hurried footsteps in the yard. "Chang Gongan, is Chang Gongan working here?"

The four Dharma Kings came out one after another and stood on both sides of the gate, such as Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, Wang Chao and Ma Han, looking very mighty and powerful.

"Who are you? What do you want from me?" Chang Wei paced in a square step and stood at the door.

The man knocked his head to the ground and cried out, "Chang Gong'an, please help me get justice and redress my wife's injustice."

PS: My child's senior year of high school starts today. I attended a college entrance examination registration guidance meeting in the morning and a parent-teacher meeting in the afternoon. I was busy all day and could only rush through two chapters. Please make do with them. Please forgive me!
