I make a living solving crimes.

The snow finally fell happily for the whole day, gradually pressing down the branches of the pomegranate trees in the yard, shaking gently. A gust of wind blew, and some snow fell from time to time.

Occasionally, a squeaking groaning sound is heard, and I don’t know if it is the snow’s reluctant murmur after leaving the tree, or the tree being unable to breathe due to the weight of the snow.

Chang Wei and Fan Tuaner spent the whole day playing outside with their younger brothers and sisters, and returned home in the evening light.

There are several theories about the origin of the Lantern Festival.

One is that the divine bird was shot to death by a hunter, and the Emperor of Heaven was furious, so he ordered the heavenly soldiers to set fire to the human world on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

His daughter was probably a kind-hearted girl like Chang Long, so she told the world that an old man had come up with a plan: hang red ribbons on the 14th, 15th and 16th day of the first lunar month.

Lanterns, firecrackers and fireworks.

The heavenly soldiers noticed a red light on earth and thought it was the flame of a big fire, so they reported to the Emperor of Heaven that there was no need to go down to earth to set the fire.

To commemorate this success, every household hangs lanterns and sets off fireworks on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month to commemorate this day.

The other one is more realistic.

It is said that it was established during the reign of Emperor Wen of Han to commemorate the "suppression of the Lü clan."

After the death of Emperor Hui of Han, Empress Lü seized power.

After Empress Lü's death, Zhou Bo, Chen Ping and others eliminated her forces and supported Liu Heng as Emperor Wen of Han.

Because the day when the Lü clan was pacified was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, from then on every fifteenth night of the first lunar month, Emperor Wen of Han would go out incognito to celebrate with the people.

Every household in the capital city hung lanterns and decorated houses to celebrate. From then on, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month became a folk festival - "Lantern Festival".

Whatever the source, it was a joyous day.

The Lantern Festival is very lively now, with lanterns hung, lantern riddles guessed, dragon and lion dances, bridge walking, stilt walking, door nail touching, lanterns sent to children, fire judges burning...

Oh, there is no fire judge.

Pan'er refers to the Judge. During the Lantern Festival, shops in the capital city make huge clay sculptures of the Judge. Inside is a furnace filled with coal and lit. The Judge is burned red all over, and flames spew out of his seven orifices, which is a very beautiful sight.

There is a City God Temple on the north side of Ping'an Road. The "Fire Judge" burned there is the most famous in the capital.

The last time a fire was burned was in Beihai Park in 50.

The New Year of 59 was probably the last authentic Spring Festival.

After the campaign to destroy the four olds began, these activities were stopped. When they were resumed, they lacked their original charm and were filled with the smell of money.

The snow in the backyard was still clean, leaving a nice scene, and the elderly people who stayed at home were not in a hurry to clean it up.

Chang Long rolled on the ground cheering, and was then dragged into the house by Yang Min, grabbing his ears.

But she is a decisive girl. She can be naughty if she wants to, and even being beaten repeatedly cannot distort her will.

After being hit twice by the feather duster in the house, she jumped twice on the spot, touched her tearless eyes, and rushed to the yard again.

"Brother, come and build a snowman." she shouted.

Chang Wei came over to help.

Not to mention Chang Long, all the little ones liked this kind of thing. They divided into two groups, started rolling a small snowball, and finally rolled out two big snowballs.

The bigger one was rolled by Fan Tuaner, Chang Ni, Chang Tian and Chang Nan, and the smaller one was Chang Wei's. The reason he lost was because Chang Xiaoman also wanted to join in the fun, but his short legs could not keep up with Chang Long's pace, and he would fall after running a few steps. Once he even fell headfirst into a fluffy, uncompacted snowball.

She pulled her head out and shook it, with a layer of snow still on her face, and smiled innocently, "Uncle, this snow looks like a figurine, but it's not sweet."

She ate it today, it was sweet and soft.

Fan Tuaner's team won, and she stood with her hands on her hips, looking proud for a while.

"Aren't you going home for dinner during the holidays?" Chang Wei delivered a fatal blow.

Yang Min kicked him on the butt. "Tuan'er's mother called and said she was going to accompany her father to the army to participate in activities and asked you to take care of her. Is this how you take care of her?"

Chang Wei patted the snow off his butt, made a face at Fan Tuaner, and continued to make a snowman with his younger brothers and sisters.

Fan Tuaner was not angry either. She took Yang Min's arm and walked towards the kitchen.

No one is a fool. The reason why no one tells the truth is simply because Chang Wei is still young.

The final snowman was about the same size as Chang Wei. It was covered with a thick coat of snow, and the eyes made of dried dates were very vivid.

Chang Long leaned against Chang Wei, clinging tightly to his legs, and kept humming, as if complaining, or acting coquettishly.

My eldest brother will be leaving in a few days.

The little girl had experienced a painful separation once, and she was afraid that she would never see her brother again.

Chang Wei squatted down and said, "If you are hungry, go find Wu Changkun. He cooks in the yard of the police station. Tell him what you want to eat. If you are bullied, go to the police station to find Uncle Zhang. He is my brother's master and he will protect you. If you need money, go to him."

"I don't want money." The little girl hummed twice more, threw herself into Chang Wei's arms and hugged his neck. Her eyes were red and she was choking with sobs and was about to cry, but then she remembered that today was the Lantern Festival and tried her best to hold back.

Chang Wei hugged her tightly and lifted her up.

It had been a long time since she had been hugged like this. The little girl was a little shy, but she was reluctant to leave. She could only bury her head in Chang Wei's neck and remain silent.

In addition to eating Yuanxiao (Chinese Yuanxiao), old Beijingers also like to eat a kind of dumplings stuffed with dried vegetables during the Lantern Festival.

The so-called dried vegetables are fresh vegetables that have been dried. When making dumplings, the dried vegetables are boiled in the broth used to cook meat to swell, and then they are used as fillings.

After sitting for a while after dinner, Chang Wei sent Fan Tuaner back home. There were still many pedestrians on the street. Red lanterns of varying sizes were hung in front of every house, dotted the night with strips of light. The wheels of the car rolled over the snow, making a creaking sound, which was drowned out by the noise.

"Did you add medicine at night?" Fan Tuaner felt the heat radiating from her body and gently pulled down her collar.

She had eaten the whole fruit and knew its amazing power.

Chang Wei nodded gently, "The old lady is old, give her some supplements."

"Don't worry about home. I've talked to my mom and she'll come over to check on us. The minister will also send someone to keep an eye on us, as will Mr. Luo and the old chief."

"I'm not worried. A big thief won't attack my family first. A small thief, can he beat my cat and monkey?"

Fan Tuaner thought of the little black cat and golden monkey in Chang Wei's house and nodded.

Those two things are almost becoming spirits!

A small black cat the size of a palm stands on the roof every night, and when it runs you can't even see its shadow.

A monkey actually knows how to use a stick, and his dance moves are very vigorous.

"Where's the little yellow dog? Aren't you going to leave it at home?"

"I'll let Ji Mao and the others take us to the southwest."

"Okay, the two companies over there have been arranged."

This is an extremely difficult task, as one has to cross the entire plateau and walk in an uninhabited area.

The battle was not too dangerous. When the guy escaped, he was only accompanied by about eighty people, all of whom were stray dogs from their homes.

Chang Wei refused to let him go because he was thinking of the disgusting things that happened during the 08 Olympics.

After rebirth, you can’t help but deal with big things, but you still have to take action on small things.

Life on earth is nothing more than making a big fuss and then leaving quietly.
