I make a living solving crimes.

Chapter 26: Xida is so sweet

"unity is strength."

"unity is strength."

"This power is iron, this power is steel."

"Harder than iron, stronger than steel."

When the street loudspeakers start singing, the mothers go home to prepare dinner. In another half an hour, the men should be home.

Most people's dinner is simple, with steamed bread made of two-grain flour and dumpling soup. Those who can afford it will also have fried vegetables and eggs.

The life of city dwellers was just like this. The ones who lived well were farmers. The people's communes were in full swing, big pot meals were prepared as much as possible, and each family could grow some vegetables and raise a few chickens and ducks in their private plots in front of their doors.

No one would have known that the situation would change drastically in just half a year.

"call"

Blowing out a perfect smoke ring, Chang Wei took out two eggs from the chicken coop. Just as he walked out of the kitchen, he happened to meet Yang Min coming back.

The three little ones who were squatting on the steps and waiting anxiously stood up and ran towards the house without even calling out.

"Mom is back, let's eat, let's eat."

"Grandma, grandma, grandma is home, eat some meat, eat some meat."

Chang Wei stepped forward and took the cloth bag from Yang Min's hand. Yang Min patted him on the back and asked, "What did you do today?"

"Can you smell the aroma?"

"I can smell it before I even enter the yard. If you eat like this every day, be careful that people in the yard may report you."

"I bought the chicken at Tianqiao Market. I earned the money from fishing and sold the fish to a purchasing station. I still have a receipt from the purchasing station on me. Reporting it is a false accusation. I will go find my master."

Chang Wei was very tough and had a loud voice, and his eyes inadvertently swept past the hanging flower door.

The rooster legs were chopped into three pieces, two pieces for each of the three little ones. Chang Wei buried the two wing roots at the bottom of Chang Da and Yang Min's bowls, and ate the small river shrimps with relish.

These river shrimps are by-products of "fishing". They have been raised in the space pool for a few days. They are almost as long as a little finger and are crispy after being fried.

"Did your sister tell you about the house?"

"I said, I don't want it. I'm still young. When I take over my master's job and become the director, I will ask the street to allocate a small courtyard for me and take you to live with me. I won't live in the back house."

"You are such a jerk, you are still the director."

"Mom, don't look down on me."

Yang Min smiled and put a piece of chicken into Chang Wei's bowl, coaxing him like a child, "Okay, okay, when your master retires, you take over as the director and live in a yard of your own, and I will live in this old house with Chang Tian."

Chang Tian pulled his face out of the bowl and said weakly, "The house belongs to my brother, I don't want it."

Chang Wei ignored his stupid brother and stuffed the chicken into his mouth, chewing the bones together. He thought for a moment and said, "There are two bedrooms in my sister's yard. I will live in one with Xiao Man first. If my sister finds someone in the future, I will move back. With me here, no one dares to make any moves."

Chang Da blushed and said angrily, "Brother, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Chang Wei tilted his head to look at her, then he added a spoonful of river shrimp to the little girl's bowl with a chuckle, "Eat more."

The little girl raised her head unhappily: "Uncle, the shrimp is poking my mouth."

Chang Wei could only bite off the shrimp heads patiently, "Shrimp shells are good for calcium, third and fourth brothers, eat more."

The topic of the house just jumped over. In fact, there was only a courtyard wall between them. Standing at the door of the Chang family, one could see the moon gate outside the back yard. If Chang Wei was so blind, it would only take a few steps to walk past the house.

He knew that his eldest sister was frightened by the second son of the Bai family. Since there was an empty bedroom, it didn't matter if he went there to live with his eldest sister. After school started, he only came back one day a week.

After dinner, there was no need to urge or shout. Those who needed to wash the dishes washed the dishes, and those who needed to feed the chickens fed the chickens. Chang Wei walked back to the north room, put the backpack on the bedside in the right place, lifted the rubber cover on it, and took out two big watermelons.

When Chang Tian came back from feeding the chickens, he quickly took two steps forward to take it, but he almost dropped it to the ground.

"Brother, what a big watermelon."

"Watermelon? What watermelon?"

Chang Long threw the broom away, and his legs moved quickly, trying to snatch the one in Chang Tian's hand.

"Slow down, you can't hold it."

Chang Wei used his butt to push Chang Long away, and then stopped the little girl who rushed over like a cannonball, "Bring the knife here, and let mother wash the knife and bring it here."

Chang Long couldn't take his eyes off her, but Yang Min saw it and came over with a knife and asked, "Where did you get such a big melon?"

The watermelons sold in Beijing are not this big.

"I saw it last night when I was buying a cockerel. Don't worry, I have my face covered."

"Be careful." Yang Min wanted to scold him, but stopped herself.

As long as he takes out the rewards from the system, his family will definitely be worried, but what can Chang Weinan do?

Eat secretly by yourself?

So Chang Wei finally compromised and agreed to live in the back room. Chang Da didn't have as many questions as Yang Min. In the eyes of the eldest sister, her brother was the most capable person in the world, and it was natural for him to do anything.

In such hot weather, Chang Wei has to hide in an airtight room to eat a watermelon, which makes him feel very depressed.

You should wear some big shorts, lie in the yard, enjoy the breeze, and eat with big mouthfuls of food.

With his insistence, he cut off one third of it with one knife. Six or seven pounds may seem like a lot, but in fact, it all turns into water in the stomach.

The little girl leaned on Chang Wei's legs and buried her head in the melon rind. She didn't want to kiss anyone now and just wanted to stick to Chang Wei.

When I lived with grandma and mom, I only had steamed corn bread to eat, but when I lived with my uncle, I could eat meat, candy, and watermelon.

"Don't chew the melon rind, there's more."

"Sweet, uncle, Xida is so sweet."

"There are some at home. If you want to eat some tomorrow, ask your mother to cut it for you. If your mother refuses, tell your uncle to steal it for you."

When Chang Tian heard this, he looked up and wiped the watermelon seeds from the corner of his mouth. He met Chang Da's gaze and silently lowered his head, not daring to say a word.

Chang Wei also wiped the watermelon seeds from the corner of his mouth, was stunned for a moment, picked up the watermelon seeds he spit out, moved his palm lightly, and planted them in the black space.

Let’s talk about whether it can survive first, just keep it for now.

The potatoes planted earlier have already sprouted green shoots, so they can probably be kept alive.

After eating the watermelon and washing up, the little girl dragged her little pillow from the south room and ran back to the north room, leaving her old mother crying.

Yesterday was Chang Da’s first day back to sleep, and the little girl was willing to stay with her all night, which was a huge honor for her.

Chang Wei patted her little butt and threw her on the inside of the bed. He lay on the bed, completely sleepless. He waited for an hour or so until everyone in the family fell asleep, then put on his shoes and climbed out the window.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the capital city underwent a large-scale demolition that lasted for more than ten years, and the Wu family made an indispensable contribution to this.

It is said that Mr. Liang and Miss Lin had a big quarrel with him over this, and he also insulted Miss Lin's background.

He also participated in the excavation of Dingling Mausoleum.

In the dark night, Chang Wei stood on the city wall of the East Gate and looked at the ruins around him. He thought that Wanli had probably been dug out, and he couldn't help but let out a "Pah".

You can’t curse anymore, or the book will be gone.

He was not here to see the ruins.

With the certification documents from the street office, Chang Wei was able to buy a small amount of cement and paint, but he had no idea what to do with wood. The wood had to be transported from the northeast and southwest, and once it entered the train station it would be taken away by the planning units.

If there is not enough steel, use wood.

Chang Wei hid in the darkness and walked around. He activated the power of space and quietly collected the bricks of the city wall piled everywhere and the large logs taken down from the arrow tower into the Yin-Yang space.

The security patrol walked past Chang Wei, stared at him for a few seconds without saying a word.

The main thing is that this guy has nothing in his hands and doesn’t even have a bag.

It's okay to steal some bricks for the city wall. Ordinary people are stealing them, stealing them openly, and then taking them home to build stoves, courtyard walls, etc. The government also turns a blind eye.

In fact, no one cares about big wood. The wood used to build the arrow tower is not nanmu or huanghuali, mainly because it is too big and no one can steal it.

As Chang Wei walked, he peeled off the paint on suitable wood in the white space and trimmed it into wooden planks or boards.

He only selected small pieces of wood. He was reluctant to waste the real big red pine wood, so he piled them in the corners of the space.
