I make a living solving crimes.

Chang Wei hung up the phone, walked out of the main room and came to the woodshed, where he saw Master Jin and two men had already started digging.

The tool used was a Luoyang shovel-like tool, which was flat with a slight curve, a pointed head, and was very long and thin. Each shovel could dig to a depth of forty to fifty centimeters.

He had seen this kind of tool many times, usually used to dig deep pits or wells, but he didn't know what it was called.

The soil was a little hard, and the two men had a hard time digging. They could only shovel away a layer of mud each time.

Yang Min also came over and looked around for a while, then pulled Chang Wei out of the house and asked, "Why did you think of digging a cellar at this time?"

Winter is not a good time to dig a root cellar.

Chang Wei certainly understood this, but the decision to go to Sichuan Province for more than half a year had just been made, and he had no choice.

If you don’t leave some food for your family, the days ahead will be difficult.

"I will be on a business trip for a long time after the New Year." Chang Wei explained, talking about the arrangements made by the ministry for him.

After hearing this, Yang Min was stunned and looked at him with concern.

Thousands of kilometers!

"Don't worry, mom. I'm going to be promoted again." Chang Wei smiled and put his arm around Yang Min's shoulders. "I'll soon be a division-level cadre, and I'll enjoy the same treatment as a bureau-level official."

A light of joy flashed across Yang Min's eyes. She frowned and stared at Chang Wei, "Xiao Wei, did you encounter any problems in the Northeast?"

Chang Wei was stunned.

When did I become so smart?

How could he explain this?

You can’t talk about gold casually, even with family members.

"Your grandfather has been uneasy since the day the two ministers' secretaries came. Now it seems that the old man guessed right." Yang Min suddenly felt sad and grabbed Chang Wei's arm. "Xiao Wei, let's change jobs and stop working in the police department. If it doesn't work out, I'll find someone to let you take my place at the textile factory."

Chang Wei smiled bitterly.

His family didn't ask him how much achievements he had made in the Northeast, they just hoped that he would be safe.

But leaving the public security system to work as a worker in a textile factory?

Not to mention whether Chang Wei can endure the hardship, it is impossible for him to change jobs even if he wants to.

In the past six months, he has offended countless people, both in the private sector and in the officialdom. Once he leaves the powerful department, the other party may not dare to retaliate now, but what about seven or eight years later?

By then, he won't be able to protect himself, let alone his family.

Did he really escape?

He was considering how to persuade his mother when he heard a soft cough behind him and heard an old voice: "Xiao Min, he is a patriot and should be loyal to the country. If he retires now, will he be worthy of his father and his military medals?"

Yang Min slowly turned around and shouted aggrievedly: "Dad——"

Grandpa Chang sighed heavily, "Xiao Min, you don't understand. Going to Sichuan Province should be the leaders' care for him."

"What do you mean?" Yang Min was confused.

Grandpa Chang couldn't explain it clearly, he just had a hunch that letting Chang Wei go to Sichuan Province was a good thing.

The farmers' market is closed, there is chaos outside, the people's commune's big pot meals can no longer be run, the per-acre yield is falsely reported, and there is less snow and water after the winter. I am afraid that there will be problems next year.

Because there were outsiders working in the woodshed, Grandpa Chang didn't say much. He called Yang Min into the main room and comforted her in a soft voice.

He is a very open-minded person. He believes that his children and grandchildren have their own blessings. He also believes that Chang Wei has his own way of making a living. He also believes that the merits and blessings accumulated by several generations of the Chang family will protect Chang Wei, his grandson, from harm and death.

Yang Min was still a little depressed until dinner time, but because the children were there, she didn't say much.

After dinner, she sent Chang Da to wash the dishes, and asked Chang Ni to take the children to their room to play. Then she pulled Chang Wei and whispered, "Are you going down there to investigate a case or to inspect?"

"There are several cases to be handled."

"You have to be careful. You are a cadre now. Don't be the first to rush into everything."

Chang Wei smiled and nodded.

Yang Min hesitated for a moment, then asked carefully, "Will Xiao Du go with you?"

Chang Wei instantly understood what his mother meant. He glanced in the direction of the kitchen and nodded, saying, "Basically the entire team will follow, leaving only the logistics staff to look after the house."

"What about those two old men?"

"They will go with us and stay in the Taoist temple in Taihang Mountain for a while, and come back in autumn."

Grandpa Chang listened nearby, took two puffs of his cigarette silently, and became more and more confident in his intuition.

This is everyone hiding out!

Yang Min didn't think too much about it. Knowing that the two old men had plans, she put her mind at ease and continued, "Can't Xiao Du stay?"

Chang Wei frowned, thought for a while and shook his head, "If he stays, it will be a disaster."

This guy is too good at "causing" trouble, but with his current ability and connections, "causing" trouble does not necessarily mean he can "solve" it. Without Chang Wei, he will be eaten up without leaving even a bone.

Seeing Yang Min sighing and starting to worry about Chang Da again, he knew that this had become a source of worry for his mother - both mother and daughter were widows, and it wouldn't be good if it got out, not to mention whether his daughter was happy or not!

Widows were not very friendly these days, and rumors were bound to spread that the Chang family's daughter-in-law was unlucky for her husband.

He let out a heavy breath in annoyance and said patiently, "What's going on between me and him now?"

"Can't you see what your sister is thinking?" Yang Min patted the back of Chang Wei's hand and said softly, "She is still young and has a long life ahead of her. She can't live alone like this forever, right?"

Chang Wei certainly understood this truth. Ever since he woke up from his time-travel dream, he had supported his sister's remarriage.

As for Du Ye’s criminal record…never mind, he’s also a man.

"I'll give you an idea. Grandpa, grandma and mom can discuss it with you. See if it works."

Grandpa Chang knocked the pipe on the chair to knock off the remaining sparks, then held it in his hand and listened carefully.

Grandma Chang also stopped her needlework, threw the soles of her shoes into the basket, and looked over inquiringly.

"You go find Grandma Du first and get her opinion. If it works, get their business done as soon as possible. After the New Year, I'll find someone to arrange for my sister to take a leave of absence without pay... get her sick leave, and let her go to Sichuan with us."

I just said it so easily that I almost said unpaid leave.

That was a policy that was only implemented in 83.

It was very easy for Chang Wei to apply for sick leave. He could just go to any hospital to get a sick leave note, and Garment Factory No. 2 would not check it.

It’s still better in enterprises, but in government agencies there are many people who are sick.

He continued: "I was thinking that this trip would take a long time, and I was worried about Xiao Man, so it was a good opportunity to bring her along."

Yang Min was obviously moved.

She looked at Grandpa Chang and Grandma Chang, and seeing that they had no objection, she nodded and said, "Then I will go to discuss it with Mrs. Du tomorrow."

In this matter, no one cared about Du Ye's thoughts.

Well, don't worry.

This bastard always finds excuses to come to our house to help with things, but he's afraid of Chang Wei, so every time he comes he pretends to be serious.

There was no way his little tricks could fool Grandpa Chang.

As for Chang Da...

Her acting skills are even worse, she can't even fool Chang Ni and Chang Long.
