I make a living solving crimes.

It is difficult to fall asleep when you are too excited and your biological clock is disrupted.

Chang Wei was pondering the system's rules for calculating points and rewards, and then thinking about the way and method of tomorrow's conversation. He was tossing and turning and couldn't fall asleep.

Although the reward for the gang case last night was a little less, the upgrade of the All-Seeing Eye is not something that can be gained by catching a few petty thieves. The information obtained by the upgraded All-Seeing Eye is more comprehensive.

Although it has not been tested yet, Chang Wei has a prediction. If a professional thief stands in front of him, he will be able to tell him even if he has no stolen goods.

After all, my sister is a housewife by profession.

As for the sunflower acupuncture point...

I can only say that the system is a bit tricky.

I was in a daze until noon, and then I heard Yang Min shouting in the living room: "Yushui, what's wrong with you?"

"Aunt Chang, I'm looking to see when my brother will come back."

He Yushui's tone was a little awkward, and her clear voice was suppressed in her throat, floating in with the midsummer breeze.

"Isn't your brother taking a day off today?"

"He followed Jia Dongxu to Beihai Park."

The conversation paused. After a few minutes, Yang Min called out again, "Don't look at Yu Shui anymore. Come home and sit for a while. We'll have lunch at my aunt's house."

"Aunt Chang, I, I'm waiting for my brother to come back."

"Don't wait for him. He may not come back. Let's have lunch at aunt's house."

"No need, auntie. My brother may be back soon."

Chang Da muttered quietly in the room: "Shazhu must have forgotten to buy food again."

He Daqing, the father of the He siblings, followed a widow to Baoding seven years ago and left three main rooms and a wing room to his sixteen-year-old son and nine-year-old daughter.

At that time, He Yuzhu was only sixteen years old. The street office felt sorry for the brother and sister, so they found Mr. Lou, the owner of a private steel rolling mill, and arranged for them to work as kitchen helpers in the canteen of the steel rolling mill. This way, the two siblings did not starve to death.

Chang Da originally admired this peer who started earning money to support his family and take care of his sister at a young age. But later she found out that this guy was as unreliable as his father.

Relying on his excellent skills in cooking Tan cuisine and Sichuan cuisine, he was not good at anything and never convinced anyone. He argued with his superiors and workers in the factory, and even cooked special meals for his superiors every day, but he still ended up with nothing good.

He didn't go home after get off work, but ran to the overpass to learn wrestling from others. After learning, he would find someone to practice with. Many times, it was Chang's father who brought him back from fights.

Poor He Yushui started learning to cook for herself at the age of nine, but even then she would only have one meal and one meal she would go hungry.

He Yuzhu was so engrossed in playing that he forgot to buy food.

Chang Wei got up from the bed and rubbed his face, then walked to the living room, took his water cup and toothbrush, and went out to wash up. He looked at He Yushui, who was timidly standing under the hanging flower door, and said, "You dare not give face to my mother now?"

He Yushui, who had just been feeling aggrieved, immediately raised her eyebrows, swung her single braid over her shoulder, and rushed over in small steps around the corridor.

"What do you want to do?"

"beat you."

"No, don't shake me. It's fatal if the toothbrush gets stuck in your throat."

"Humph!"

After the usual quarrel, Chang Wei resolved He Yushui's embarrassment without leaving a trace. The little girl came into the house, sniffed, and came close to Chang Da and said, "Sister, your family has delicious food every day."

The fish pieces were roasting on the coal stove. The simply marinated fish pieces made a sizzling sound in the oil pan, and then burst out with an enticing aroma.

Chang Da smiled and said, "My Chang Wei is really good at fishing."

He Yushui turned her head to look at the guy who was brushing his teeth with his butt sticking out outside the door, and twisted her mouth but didn't dare to refute.

She can mock Chang Wei as much as she wants when it comes to studying, but she really has to give in when it comes to fishing.

We catch about 30 to 40 kilograms of fish every day, and use the money from selling them to buy meat or chickens. The whole yard is jealous to the point of going crazy, so today, on a day off, all the men in the yard, young and old, went to Beihai.

The Yan family came first, followed by the Liu brothers. He Yuzhu was bored and pulled Jia Dongxu to join in the fun.

After brushing his teeth and wiping his face, Chang Wei went into the house, put his things back, filled the mouthwash cup with water, drank it down in one gulp, and exhaled a breath of hot air.

"Drinking boiled water is like drinking soda."

"You talk like you've had soda."

"I haven't drunk it, have you?"

Tsk, I actually drank it.

However, He Yushui's words did open up the memories of two lives. The year before last, Watsons in Shanghai and Jingcheng Food Factory cooperated to start producing Beibingyang soda. Although they used equipment from the 1930s and 1940s, it was also a truly integrated bottling line. The high-priced soda that once had to be imported instantly dropped to one cent a bottle.

Even if it only costs one cent, it is a "luxury item" of some size for most families.

Chang Wei waved to Chang Tian, ​​went into the house, took out two yuan from his trouser pocket, and whispered, "Go to the grocery store and buy ten bottles of soda."

Why ten bottles? Because there is a ten-cent deposit for the bottles.

Chang Tian glanced in Yang Min's direction, quietly took the money, and slipped out of the door as quietly as a thief. Chang Long rolled his eyes and followed him.

After being hit on the head by Yang Min, Chang Wei took his first sip of Arctic Ocean in the summer of 1958.

In fact, it is just orange juice with a little bit of carbonation added, but this orange juice is blended with real fresh orange jam. It tastes sour and sweet without any chemical elements, and you can still see some turbid sediment in the bottle.

What’s valuable is that the soda I bought was chilled.

In the days when there were no refrigerators, on hot summer days, the refreshing feeling brought by a sip of ice soda immediately made Chang Wei feel relaxed and happy.

Yang Min was forced to drink two sips, and said unhappily: "Even if you have money, you can't spend it like this!"

Chang Da winked at Yang Min in the direction of He Yushui and smiled happily.

Yang Min was stunned for a moment, turned her head and stopped talking.

Not noticing all this, He Yushui lowered her head and sipped the drink through the straw, quietly and without saying a word. Chang Long, on the other hand, smacked her lips loudly with each sip and burped whether she was breathing or not. If Chang Tian hadn't pulled her back, she would have wanted to stand on the drum stone at the gate of the yard and show off.

Chang Wei glanced at Chang Long with disdain. This girl was getting more and more crooked as she grew older.

They took the steamer off the pot, put twenty steamed buns into the winnowing basket, and Chang Tian, ​​holding the soup pot and the plate of pickles, went to the back house in the outer courtyard with the two brothers.

The new wall was half built. After walking around the outer back house, Chang Wei called out, "Master Jin, let's eat first."

The old carpenter came down from the beam and found a basin to wash his hands. He looked at the fish head and tofu soup in the soup pot and said cheerfully, "Boss, it's enough to have steamed bread. We don't need soup every day."

"You want meat, but I don't have any. But I'm good at fishing, so you can make do with it."

"Master, you are a kind person when you say this."

Chang Tian and the tile washer had become friends. He scooped a large bowl of fish meat for him and, without being seen by others, stuffed a piece of rat candy into his hand.

The two are of similar age, and if the children's families were not poor, they should have studied in the same school.

The child squeezed the candy in his hand, put it carefully into his pocket, and smiled innocently at Chang Tian.

"Boss, the old roof is almost finished being dismantled today. What about this wood?"

"Can the wall be finished today? If so, I'll bring in the wood tonight."

"It will be ready in the afternoon. Do we still need to put tiles on the top of the wall?"

"No, I'll get some broken glass. This courtyard is where my sister lives. Please help me put glass on the walls."
