I make a living solving crimes.

No. 95, Nanluoguxiang.

Chang Wei ignored the noise in the courtyard and accompanied Yang Min to take a look around the back house in the outer courtyard.

The old carpenter, Grandpa Jin, was even more cautious when facing Chang Wei in police uniform. He hurriedly came down from the beam and asked, "Why is the boss wearing a police uniform?"

Chang Wei smiled and said, "I was lucky enough to find a job."

"Amazing, amazing."

Unlike later generations, people at that time were naturally afraid of public servants, especially those in uniform. The old carpenter did not understand the rules of police recruitment, but he knew that ordinary people could not afford to offend the police.

"You praise me, but I am just trying to make a living."

At this moment, Chang Wei was humble and polite, and politely handed over a Daqianmen cigarette.

The old carpenter took it with both hands, paused and complimented: "The boss is now an official, and he has achieved success at a young age. He will definitely be promoted step by step in the future and has a bright future."

"Haha, thank you for your good words. When I really become an official, I will definitely treat you to a drink." Chang Wei didn't want to make a fuss about his status. He pointed to a pile of wood in the corner and said, "Uncle Jin, are these suitable?"

"It couldn't be more perfect. The wood the boss prepared is all top-quality red pine. We can replace all the purlins before dark today, and start re-tiling tomorrow."

"I don't understand why you've been troubled by the house issue. Please make the arrangements. By the way, have you eaten the pig's head today?"

"I've eaten. The host is too polite."

The old carpenter meant what he said. Even though it was just a pig's snout, it was still meat.

It’s no wonder that he deliberately flattered Chang Wei. Working for this family really made people feel respected and made them feel warm and comfortable in their hearts.

Chang Wei nodded and said a few polite words, then touched the head of the child next to Chang Tian and accompanied Yang Min back to the front yard.

Xu Damao hadn't left yet, standing in the yard talking to Chang Da. He insisted on leaving a basket of vegetables behind, but Chang Da refused to take them. Seeing Chang Wei coming back, he hurriedly said, "Chang Wei, look, these are all fresh vegetables I just brought back from the countryside. They are better than those in the market, and these eggs are all authentic country eggs."

When it comes to being smart, no one in the hospital can compare to him.

Otherwise, people would have made a lot of money at the beginning of the reform and opening up.

Chang Wei didn't want to argue, so he thought for a moment and took out two lunch boxes from his bag and said, "Okay, thank you, Brother Damao. This is the pork head meat my master got. Let's reciprocate. Don't be polite."

It was a pity that two boxes had been prepared in advance, and it felt inappropriate to take out only one box. However, the three little ones would probably scold Xu Damao all night.

Xu Damao behaved like a man, taking one box and handing the other box back. "We men don't have to be polite. I won't bother you today. I'll get you a bottle of good wine tomorrow."

Although Chang Wei didn't want to get involved with the people in the hospital, he didn't show it on his face and said with a smile: "Okay, I just started working and I have a lot of things to do. I will invite you when I have time."

After a few pleasantries, Xu Damao pushed his bicycle back to the backyard, and Chang Wei immediately entered the house.

"Come, burn some incense for your father."

"Eh."

Chang Wei lit incense and stood in front of his father's portrait, listening to Yang Min's long and rambling words.

He prayed silently in his heart, helped his mother back to the table and sat down, and told her everything about his joining the company.

"You said last night that you had something to do today, so you were going to do this?"

"Ah."

"Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

"Mom, don't mention it. I thought it was just a report of my thoughts, but I didn't expect to complete the entry procedures today."

"Hey! What's going on at the Public Security School?"

"Issuing graduation certificates in advance, and then going to school with the certificates to get them directly after school starts."

“Is he considered a cadre?”

"Yes, for a level 7 clerk, thirty-seven dollars and a half a month."

"well."

Yang Min felt relieved and stopped talking. She sat on a chair, staring at Chang Kun's portrait and crying silently. Chang Wei couldn't persuade her, so she could only ask her sister for help.

Chang Da had no choice but to stuff the little girl into Yang Min's arms. Chang Xiaoman saw her grandmother crying and pouted with heartache, rubbing her little hands on Yang Min's face.

"Don't cry grandma, be a good boy and don't make grandma cry."

Yang Min choked up and said, "Grandma didn't cry, she was happy."

"Mom, today is my brother's big day, so don't cry."

Chang Wei laughed at himself and said, "After hearing what my sister said, I thought I was going to get married today."

Yang Min couldn't help laughing and scolded, "How old are you, you little brat? You want to get married? What girl would be interested in a little monkey like you?"

Chang Wei was very dissatisfied and said, "Mom, I don't like what you said. When I grow up, I will marry eight wives to honor you."

Yang Min beat him and laughed at him for being shameless.

The little girl also giggled and scratched her face with her little fingers.

Chang Wei waved his hands and ignored their cries. He shouted to the third and fourth brothers, "Eat, eat. Fortunately, Xu Damao was sensible and only took one box. Otherwise, we would have no meat to eat tonight."

Yang Min opened the lunch box, and the aroma of braised meat filled her nose. "Did you ask Uncle Wang for it again?"

"Well, Grandpa Wang insisted on giving it to me. If I didn't take it, he would beat me up, so I had no choice but to accept it."

"You, you're still being ungrateful after getting an advantage."

The little girl smiled when she saw her grandmother. After completing her task, she struggled to get up from the ground and asked Chang Wei to hold her again. She hadn't seen her grandmother for a whole day and she missed her grandmother so much.

"Uncle, there's no more candy in my pocket."

Holding Chang Wei's neck, the little girl whispered in his ear, which made him laugh. He took out candies like magic and filled her two small purses.

The little girl was immediately satisfied. She reached out her hand to touch her purse. She looked down and saw Chang Long peeping at her. She was immediately horrified and said, "Uncle, I saw you. I want to steal your candy."

Chang Long was about to leave with a dark face, but Chang Wei grabbed him and said, "I'm happy today, everyone will have a big handful."

"Really? Brother, you are the best brother in the world."

Chang Long's face changing is faster than that of Sichuan Opera.

Chang Wei unwrapped the clothes, took out the summer police uniform and shook it, "Sister, these two clothes are a bit big, please measure them and make them smaller."

"Oh, you're still growing. If you change it, you won't be able to wear it next year."

Until the 1980s and 1990s, parents would buy clothes in a larger size for their children so that they could wear them for two more years.

Chang Wei took off the one he was wearing, went back to the room with his bare chest and put on a vest, and explained, "I went to the bureau today and heard from the logistics staff that we will change our uniforms next year, so I will only wear this one for a year."

In fact, no one said it, but Chang Wei wanted to become a police officer in his previous life and asked about it out of curiosity.

In 59, the police uniform was replaced with the Type 58 uniform, which had very minor changes compared to the Type 55 uniform. The epaulette buttonholes and epaulette straps were removed, the chest badge was removed, and collar badges were started to be worn.

Chang Da stroked the police uniform in her hand distressedly and sighed, "Such good clothes are only worn for one year, what a waste."

Chang Wei smiled and said, "Keep it. When you change clothes, give it to Chang Tian."

Chang Tian's eyes lit up and he asked, "Brother, are you really letting me wear it? Can I wear the police uniform, too?"

Chang Wei rubbed his head and said, "This police uniform has no rank or badge. Just change the look and wear it as a white coat."

Chang Tian began to walk around the room in circles.

Yang Min watched her children getting along harmoniously, and the haze that had shrouded the family for two years gradually faded away. She couldn't help but smile even more happily.
