I make a living solving crimes.

Winter is a season where poverty cannot be hidden.

In the summer, you can also wear a cotton jacket which is said to be sweat-absorbent and breathable. In this era, people don’t care about the style.

However, the style and fabric of winter clothes can reveal a person's financial status.

Chang Wei said he was a poor man.

Compared with Lou Hongyang, he is indeed very poor.

Half a year ago, he only had one decent set of clothes, which was a shirt left by his father, which was altered to be smaller by his clever sister, and the vest inside was tattered and full of holes.

Now, underneath the thick cotton coat is a black woolen Zhongshan suit, which is straight and smooth, reflecting a faint light in the setting sun.

Yan Jiecheng, who was wearing a blue cotton worker-style Zhongshan suit, couldn't help feeling a little ashamed in front of him.

Respect Luo Yi first and then respect others.

In ancient Chinese literature, people like to use the phrase "galloping horses and light fur coats" to describe young men with high spirits. This is probably what it means!

Chang Long did not have such feelings. She just paused under the hanging flower gate, snatched the net bag from Chang Wei's hand, pulled Xiong Chumo and ran towards the yard.

The lunch box is still hot, so you can let the old lady and grandpa and grandma have a taste before dinner. And you can also eat one more piece.

Her happiness is simple.

As long as I have a little bit of delicious food, I will feel extremely happy and roll around happily with my belly held.

If the child had not been beaten today, his life would have been complete.

Xiong Chumo stopped at the door of his house, ignored Chang Long's call, and ran back home.

She had already eaten meat in Daguo’s canteen at noon, so she couldn’t go to Daguo’s house to eat, as that would be impolite.

Chang Wei and Xiao Man were left behind at Chuihua Gate. Facing Yan Jiecheng's invitation, he smiled faintly, "Brother Yan, I really don't have time this weekend. I already promised the political commissar that I would visit her home."

Yan Jiecheng had heard of the political commissar of the Dragon Group. She was an extremely beautiful woman.

Of course, he couldn't compare with Fan Tuan'er. Before coming, he had expected Chang Wei to decline. He pondered, "Chang Wei, what about tonight? Dinner is fine."

Chang Wei still smiled and shook his head, "The New Year is coming soon, and I am really busy. There are still cases to be settled in the unit, and the higher authorities need to visit. Brother Yan, we are all from the same courtyard, so there is no need to be so polite."

Yan Jiecheng opened his mouth but still didn't say the words to ask for help. Just as he was thinking about how to change the subject, he saw Chang Xiaoman running towards the east wing.

Chang Wei said, "That's it, Brother Yan. Let's make another appointment after the New Year. I'll treat you and your wife then."

After saying that, he walked around to the side, leaving Yan Jiecheng standing there in a daze.

No matter how dumb one is, one can hear the evasion and alienation in Chang Wei's words.

So what can be done?

After all, he was the one who needed help, not to mention that his own mother had offended him!

The Dragon Group is jealous!

In front of the door of the east wing, Chang Xiaoman raised her head and called out, "Aunt Momo."

The little girl ran out, "Xiao Man, your aunt has gone home."

"Aunt Momo, come to my house for dinner."

"No, go back and eat."

"Yes." Chang Xiaoman shouted firmly, tilting her little head and inviting seriously.

The little girl pouted and looked up to see Chang Wei walking slowly towards her. "Big Pot, I'm not going."

Chang Wei waved his hand, "Your father and I are friends, no need to be so polite, come on."

Chang Xiaoman jumped on the spot and said anxiously, "I want to go."

Xiong Chumo hesitated under the eaves.

She likes playing with the Chang family very much. She is the only child in the Xiong family, and she is not familiar with other children in the yard, so she has no friends.

Mother Bear was pregnant, so she didn’t dare to speak loudly when playing at home, for fear of disturbing her mother’s rest.

There is no fear in the Chang family. They don’t restrain their children and even like to watch them play and fight with each other.

Xiong Chumo often went to the Chang family to play, but he would be careful to avoid meal times.

Because it is impolite to visit someone's home when they are having dinner.

Chang Wei once treated her to shrimps, and she couldn't refuse, so she gave him a handful of Houttuynia cordata as a gift.

After standing in front of the door and thinking for a while, she ran back to the house and took out a small red tasseled spear.

This was her old toy, only one meter long, made of wood, and the tip of the gun had been rounded, making it just the right size for Chang Xiaoman to play with.

The little girl turned her head and looked at her uncle. Seeing him nod gently, she took it with a sweet smile, "Thank you, Aunt Momo."

The little girl was very happy.

In the backyard, Chang Long snuggled in the old lady's arms, opened the lunch box and began to share the meat.

The old lady gets one, I get one, Grandpa gets one, I get one, Grandma gets one, I get one, Mom gets one...

When Chang Wei came back, her mouth was full of oil.

Chang Da took off her brother's cotton coat, dusted it off and hung it up at the door, then brought over some hot tea and asked, "What does the boss of the Yan family want to see you for?"

"You wanted to treat me to a meal, but I turned it down because I was too busy before the New Year. Let's eat after the New Year when it's more convenient." Chang Wei did not mention what the third aunt said yesterday about being a burden.

Chang Long picked up a piece of plump pork belly and stuffed it into Xiong Chumo's mouth, muttering softly: "My elder brother is so shameless. He actually eats with others when it's convenient. What does he eat? Shit?"

Xiong Chumo had just felt the sweetness in his mouth, and when he heard Chang Long's words, he didn't know whether he should chew it or not.

Longlong, I'm eating meat!

When you are eating meat, you say you are eating shit. Who is the one who is doing the dirty work?

Chang Tian brought hot water over for Chang Wei to wash his face and hands. When he heard the phone ringing, he hurried over to pick it up.

"Du Ye, what's going on over there?"

"Mine? Are you sure?"

"Okay, don't take any chances, wait until I get here."

Chang Wei put down the phone, thought quietly for a moment, and dialed another number.

"Sister Tuan'er, have you eaten yet?"

"Du Ye found traces of the criminals in Mentougou. They fled into the mine. I need to take the little yellow dog to the scene."

"Okay, don't worry."

Chang Wei had two cars, one Willys was driven away by Du Ye, and the other car was driven by Fan Tuaner.

He lives in Gulou, and it only takes him ten minutes to walk to work. The roads in the alleys are narrow, and he doesn't like driving.

Since we were going to Mentougou this time, it was impossible for us to walk there, so we had to ask Fan Tuaner to pick us up.

Chang Da heard about it and hurriedly served him food, asking, "Will Tuan'er come over for dinner?"

"No, she's eating."

"Yes." Chang Da nodded and whispered, "It's dark at night. Be careful when investigating outside. Don't rush to the front. You are a cadre now. If you really can't do it, let Du Ye go."

Chang Wei looked over with a half-smile, "Sister, aren't you worried about him?"

"Worried." Chang Da didn't smile. She turned around to prepare food for Chang Xiaoman and said softly, "But you are my brother."

Chang Wei held the chopsticks in his hand and paused for a long time before starting to eat.
