I make a living solving crimes.

At dinner time, Chang Long went to the central courtyard to call He Yushui without his mother's instructions.

The girl was originally embarrassed to come and eat.

Yang Min gave He Yushui a good reason to make a living.

Now the adults in the Chang family are all at work. The oldest child in the family, Chang Tian, ​​is only ten years old during the day, so I would like to trouble Yu Shui to make lunch and take care of the child, so that I can naturally keep Yu Shui for dinner in the evening.

The girl in a brand new braided dress with two shiny black pigtails was walking and jumping.

Chang Wei took a quick look and immediately recognized that the floral fabric of the dress was the "defective fabric" that he had brought back.

The loose short sleeves have simple white edges on the collar and cuffs. The waist is narrowed to highlight the girl's figure, and under the long skirt that covers the knees are small white socks and black cloth shoes.

Chang Wei muttered to himself: I don't have any meat on my body, what a waste!

Chang Long likes this skirt very much. Chang Wei brought back a whole piece of floral cloth, and Chang Da also made one for her. Unfortunately, she has to wait until school starts before she can wear it.

"Sister Yushui, is this skirt comfortable to wear?"

"It's comfortable. The fabric is so soft and breathable."

"This cloth was brought back by my eldest brother. My eldest brother is really amazing. Sister Yushui, come and see the military medal my eldest brother got today."

Chang Long mentioned "my elder brother" three times in one sentence, which was quite showing off.

"Chang Wei, is this your military medal?"

He Yushui bowed towards Chang Kun's portrait, carefully picked up the military medal and placed it in his palm to admire it, his eyes flashing like stars.

"Auntie, this is my uncle." The little girl puffed out her chest proudly and pulled at the hem of He Yushui's skirt.

He Yushui put her hands on her lower back, put her skirt close to her knees, squatted down, pinched the little girl's newly grown baby fat and smiled, "Is it so amazing?"

"Yes, my uncle is the best." The little girl tilted her head back and spoke word by word.

"So do you like your uncle or your mother?"

He Yushui was very unkind and set a trap for the little girl.

"Uncle."

The little girl turned around without hesitation and ran to Chang Wei's legs to play with him.

Uncle has candy, watermelon, and meat, why should she like her mother?

Chang Da pinched her butt and said angrily, "You have no conscience."

The little girl threw herself into Chang Wei's arms and wiggled her little butt, "Uncle is the best. I like uncle."

After saying that, he secretly took the two candies from Chang Wei's hand, looked in Chang Long's direction, and carefully put them into his pocket.

The main course tonight was the last bit of pork head and a piece of braised beef. The braised beef was cut into thin slices. Chang Wei washed his hands, slowly tore the beef slices into shreds, and fed them into the little girl's mouth one by one.

Chang Da tried to persuade him twice but to no avail so she stopped trying.

The child has lost her father, but fortunately she has an uncle who dotes on her.

The family had just finished their meal when a man came to the door. He was the middle-aged man who blocked the door with a kitchen knife last night.

"Chang Gongan, I'm here to thank you!"

The man was holding a basket of eggs woven with straw ropes and grinning.

Chang Wei brought two chairs to the door and motioned for him to sit down. "Is the matter settled?"

The man took the chair very attentively, half bowed and said, "It's settled. I got the marriage certificate today."

"Congratulations, did that family cause you any trouble?"

"The Street Office is in charge. They don't dare to do that." The man smiled happily, and gently placed the eggs next to Chang Wei's chair, and said gratefully: "I want to thank Chang Gongan for upholding justice yesterday."

Chang Wei waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "This is what I should do, but you take the eggs back... This is discipline, I can't accept it... I really can't accept it, how about this, I'll give you the money as my gift for your marriage."

The man refused to take the money, but was overwhelmed by Chang Wei's reasoning.

You can't let your benefactor lose his job.

Benefactor, he is indeed indebted to me. If Chang Wei had not gone yesterday, once a conflict arose, the man would have been so hot-blooded that he would have inevitably used the kitchen knife in his hand to hurt others.

The two chatted for a while at the door. When they were about to say goodbye, the man hesitated to speak. Seeing this, Chang Wei frowned and said, "Just tell me what you want to say."

The man turned his head to look at the Yan family members who were watching the excitement from a distance, and whispered, "I don't know how to thank you, but I have something to ask you, and I wonder if it can be of any use to you?"

Chang Wei asked curiously: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"My wife told me that the brothers often went to a yard in Bingmasi Hutong to play cards. I heard that they played big, winning or losing hundreds of dollars every night."

"gamble?"

"Well, the dealer is a prince, and we play in his vegetable cellar. We even have mahjong, pai gow, and dice."

"There's a dealer? This is a casino."

"There is a dealer. I don't know if it is a casino, but I heard that the brothers often go there."

Chang Wei thought about it but didn't say anything. He ignored the man's little thoughts, thinking that he was just taking the opportunity to take revenge.

But if the report is well-founded, we can only say that those brothers deserved it.

Bingmasi Hutong... He remembered that Du Ye, who was in charge of the labor team, often gambled in Bingmasi Hutong.

If it's just a few people playing cards, he wouldn't bother to care, but if it's a banker gathering a lot of people, he might have to go and take a look.

After seeing the man off, Chang Wei carried the eggs into the house and began to think about this matter.

As for the prince who is in charge, damn, it’s a new era now, princes are useless.

"Don't frown at your young age." He Yushui made a cup of tea for Chang Wei. "Did that person ask you to do something just now?"

"No, I came to thank you."

Chang Wei briefly recounted what happened last night. He Yushui spat after listening, but no one knew who he was targeting.

"Is Yi Zhonghai still scolding you now?"

"I don't bother them, and now I don't even talk to my brother."

"It's better if Yi Zhonghai ignores it. The three masters in this courtyard are not simple. They all have their own little thoughts. As for your brother...after all, they are siblings, so let it go."

He Yushui didn't want to talk about her brother, he was just a fool, so she changed the subject and said, "What do you mean by saying that all three uncles have their own little thoughts?"

Chang Wei glanced at her. As far as he could remember, the two of them had never sat together and chatted so peacefully. In the past, they would start quarreling after just a few words.

But it doesn't seem right to say that the two of them have a grudge against each other. From childhood to adulthood, they have never had any other disputes except bickering.

It seems like the quarrel started because of the 38th parallel drawn when they were desk mates in elementary school?

It’s funny even thinking about it.

He Yushui looked at him and said in dissatisfaction, "I'm asking you a question, why are you laughing? You're laughing like a stupid dog."

"Uh... you still can't talk properly!"

"Tsk, you were the one who didn't provoke me first."

"Stop, stop, stop. We just had a meal. Don't be angry. I just remembered the 38th parallel when we were kids."

He Yushui also remembered, lowered his head and said weakly: "It was you who drew the wrong line."

Chang Wei laughed, "You have occupied most of the area, and you still complain that the line I drew is crooked? You are more domineering than Emperor Mold."

He Yushui was not convinced. She raised her head with a red face and said, "I am domineering. Why didn't you tell me about the caterpillar you put in my pencil case? And the time you put a nest of mice in my drawer, and I didn't eat for a day because of the fear."

"I did this?"

"You don't remember, do you? You've done so many bad things. Didn't you cut the flowers that Teacher Zhang grew? Didn't you deflate Teacher Wu's bicycle? Didn't you put the glue in Director Xia's hat?"
