Chapter 465 Good Brother, Bad Brother
After chatting with Director Wang for a few minutes, I said goodbye and left.
Chang Kun turned around and went to the police station next door. He hadn't seen Brother Cheng Jie for a while, so he came to visit him.
He was carrying two large yellow croakers and six sea cucumbers, which he gave to him and Grandpa Cheng to help them recover.
"Xiao Kun, what brings you here today?"
"Brother Cheng, I was assigned to help out at another unit today. It wasn't too busy, so I left work early."
Chang Kun handed the fish and sea cucumber to Cheng Jie.
As the soon-to-be brother-in-law, Cheng Jie didn't stand on ceremony with Chang Kun and opened the bag to take a look.
"You're really something, you always manage to get your hands on good stuff."
"Hehe, it was a gift from a friend, a gift..."
"A few days ago, Director Wang from the neighborhood office next door came to my house and talked about your marriage with Xiaomin. Time flies!"
Cheng Jie was filled with emotion. He still remembered what his sister looked like when she was little, the little girl who followed him around every day calling him "brother" in her sweet, childish voice. Now she was getting married.
"Brother Cheng, don't worry, I will take good care of Xiaomin."
"Yes, I believe that. If you two can live a good life, then Dad and I will be at ease."
The two are not even married yet, but this prospective brother-in-law keeps sending nice things to their home. It's hard to find many people who would do that.
It's a pity my mother couldn't see this scene. If she were here, along with my younger brother, how happy the whole family would be.
Seeing that Cheng Jie looked a little sad, Chang Kun knew that he was thinking of his mother again.
"Brother Cheng, after we get married, I'd like to take a trip to the South with Cheng Min."
Cheng Jie perked up and said with a smile, "That's great. We get a vacation after the wedding, which is nice to be able to go out and have some fun. It's just that the transportation is not good now, and we need a letter of introduction to go to other places, which is a bit inconvenient."
"Actually... I took Cheng Min to the south to try and find her mother and brother-in-law."
Chang Kun said after careful consideration that the wedding was just around the corner, and he would have to talk to Cheng Jie about it sooner or later.
Moreover, as the director of Gulou Police Station, Cheng Jie must have heard about his amazing abilities since he found the child abducted by human traffickers last time.
"What?!"
Cheng Jie's eyes widened instantly, and his whole body trembled with excitement.
Finding his mother had been an obsession for him for many years.
He had heard about Chang Kun's peculiarities before, but he just laughed it off, thinking it was just hearsay.
In the dead of night, he also fantasized that Chang Kun really was as people said, capable of divination.
But as the head of a police station in the new society, he instinctively found it hard to believe.
It was only then that I heard Chang Kun say he was going to find his mother.
"Little Kun! Can you really find my mother?"
He excitedly grabbed Chang Kun's arm tightly.
"Brother Cheng, when have you ever seen me brag? I can't go into too much detail, but I think my mother-in-law and brother-in-law are probably still alive and well in the south."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Jie's eyes immediately turned red.
"Great! That's...that's wonderful!"
His voice choked with emotion, and he couldn't speak, but he patted Chang Kun's arm forcefully.
After a while, he took a deep breath and calmed down.
"Xiao Kun, if there's anything you need my help with, just tell me, and I'll do my best without hesitation!"
"Brother Cheng, just stay home and wait for good news."
"Okay! I'll do whatever you say, Xiao Kun."
Cheng Jie's lips were still trembling slightly as he looked up and dreamed.
"When I get back, I'll fix up the house. I need to buy a new bed in the east room for my parents, and I need to repaint the little house in the west so my little brother can sleep there later."
He kept rambling on, a smirk playing on his lips, and couldn't help but let out a silly chuckle.
Without interrupting his reverie, Chang Kun quietly left the director's office.
Looking up at the sky, it was almost evening, and the setting sun had dyed the clouds on the horizon orange-pink. It looked like tomorrow would be another good day.
Back at their courtyard home, only Xiuer was there.
"Big brother, big brother, you're back! Come help me push the swing!"
The little girl was pouting, but when she saw Chang Kun return, she immediately put on a smiling face.
"Where's Mom? Why are you home alone?"
"Mother said there was a roll of substandard cloth at the supply and marketing cooperative. Go next door to find Aunt Liu and Uncle Hong and ask them if they want it."
That's perfect, I need to see Grandpa Hong, and my mother is right next door.
"Then you can play by yourself. I also need to see Grandpa Hong."
"Big brother! My dear big brother, come play with me for a while!" Xiu'er rushed to Chang Kun and hugged his leg, refusing to let him leave.
"I have important business to discuss with Grandpa Hong. Xiuer, play by yourself for a while." Chang Kun took out eight little squirrels from his bag.
"Hey! These greyhounds were killed by my older brother. He'll burn them for you guys when he gets back."
I wanted to give Xiuer the little squirrel to play with, to keep her quiet for a while.
Unexpectedly, when she saw the little squirrel, her lips pouted even more, big enough to hang an oil bottle.
"Big brother, you went to catch the greyhound, but you didn't take me with you!"
"Hmph! You bad brother, I'm never talking to you again!"
The little boy turned his back, crossed his arms, and turned his head away angrily, ignoring Chang Kun.
Chang Kun chuckled to himself; this girl has quite a temper.
Let's go to Grandpa Hong's house first and settle the matter about the house.
If I roast some squirrel meat for Xiuer when I get back, she'll definitely make up with her older brother right away.
When I got next door, my mother was sitting in the yard talking to Aunt Liu.
The two men, like spies making a rendezvous, kept their heads down, spoke in hushed tones, and exchanged glances as they spoke.
What kind of gossip are they talking about now? It feels so mysterious.
"Mother, Aunt Liu, what are you saying? Why are you so happy?"
Liu Meifen turned around and saw her son, looking a little strange.
"Xiao Kun, you're off work? What brings you here?"
"I need to speak with Grandpa Hong about something. You two are busy."
"What's up? Grandpa Hong hasn't come back yet, so your Aunt Liu and I are just chatting here."
Chang Kun thought about it for a moment and realized there was nothing shameful about it.
Moreover, Aunt Liu also lives in the courtyard, so if my older sister and younger brother want to move in, they will definitely have to talk to her first.
"Mom, didn't we say we'd help my eldest sister find a house? I went to inquire today, and it turns out there's a vacant house in Aunt Liu and Uncle Hong's courtyard right now."
Liu Meifen's face lit up with surprise, and she slapped her thigh: "That's right! Can this really work?"
As he spoke, he stole a glance at Aunt Liu, wanting to see if she was unhappy.
"Oh! This is wonderful news!" Aunt Liu exclaimed without hesitation. "Your Uncle Hong and I live in the courtyard, and we don't usually have much to talk about. It would be great if a few more people could join us!"
Seeing how welcoming Aunt Liu was, Chang Kun and Liu Meifen felt relieved.
The most important thing about living in a courtyard house is getting along harmoniously.
If, like No. 88 Nanluoguxiang in later generations, all sorts of monsters and demons lived together, constantly arguing and getting angry, it would be better to stay in the countryside!
"Aunt Liu, it's like this. My eldest daughter just gave birth a few months ago, and my son-in-law just got discharged from the army and came to the city to work. I was thinking of helping them find a place to live."
"Then there's my younger brother. He and his wife also work in the city. They only have one daughter, Xiaoshui, and they also want to settle down in the city."
Liu Meifen kept talking and explained the situation to Aunt Liu.
"Young lady, your family is so kind, I trust them! Don't worry about letting them stay; I won't hesitate!"
"As for Lao Hong, he should be fine. He'll be overjoyed to have young people and little kids living in the compound! Besides, they're all your family!"
It's clear that Aunt Liu genuinely hopes the courtyard can be more lively.
Just then, Grandpa Hong strolled into the yard, swinging his one arm.
"Wow, this is really something, it's so lively today!"
