The autumn is crisp, clear and cloudless, and the sky is as blue as an upside-down glass bowl.

Luo Jianan's inner world was not so clear, the closer he was to his home, the tighter his expression became, and when he arrived in the community, he was still moaning in the car and smoking two cigarettes for a long time.Qi Ming probably guessed where his anxiety came from, but it was someone else's housework, and he wasn't going to talk too much.

"This neighborhood is good, with a large green area and low buildings." Walking behind Luo Jianan, Qi Ming casually muttered something. He thought it might be beneficial to distract the other party before entering the door.

"The year my grandfather passed away, my parents sold their flat and bought a big one here in order to take my grandma to live with them." Luo Jianan's voice sounded normal, "Grandma also left last year. , I will move to live in the house left by my grandfather, or I will go home every day and stare at my dad, and fight him sooner or later."

"There is no overnight feud between father and son. No matter how strict uncle is, it is for your own good."

"He broke my arm when I was in middle school. What is that in America? Child abuse?"

Qi Ming was silent for a few seconds and asked, "What did you do?"

"Take my dad's baton and go to school to beat people up."

"..."

Luo Jianan stood still a few meters away from the door of the building, turned around and lit a cigarette again, and said, "There is an idiot in our school. Dad has a bit of power in both black and white. That grandson walks like a crab." , defiant, even dare to hit the teacher."

"Oh, I thought you hit the teacher."

"I'm not such a fool, it's our family tradition to respect teachers and teach." Luo Jianan flicked cigarette ash into the grass, "That kid has taken a fancy to my deskmate, Banhua. He blocked my deskmate at the end of the class when I came home from school." On the way, I said that I wanted to make friends with her, and my deskmate was so scared that I didn’t dare to come to school the next day. Later, my deskmate asked me to take her to and from school. At that time, our two families were close, and it was just an extra street. I agreed. After only three days, that idiot led someone to block me in the toilet and dumped everything in my schoolbag into the urinal. Fuck him, I was so fucking angry at that time, with those guys The boy had a fight."

Seeing Luo Jianan's smug expression, Qi Ming nodded. "You won."

"Must!" Luo Jianan raised his chin, "Later I heard that idiot called people on the road outside and threatened to punish me. When I got home at noon, I put my dad's baton in my schoolbag, and they blocked me after school in the afternoon. That idiot molested my tablemate in front of me, and the people next to me even threatened to kill me. I didn't say anything, and I did it with them! It's a good thing I brought a baton, and those boys hid knives... This One shot into the branch office, and I still can't forget my father's black face like the bottom of a pot when the branch chief returned the baton to my father."

Qi Ming lowered his head and smiled, and said, "You are fighting with weapons, and you are supposed to be in the juvenile detention center."

"What if my dad broke my arm? He wants me to be a judge in the court, leaving the case behind and I can't pass the political trial." Luo Jianan shrugged helplessly, "My grandfather has been a policeman all his life. He has never given any convenience to his family members because of his job relationship, but for the sake of me, he bowed his head to others for the first time. When my father beat me, he said that he lost Lao Luo for nothing else. The face of home."

Qi Ming thought for a moment and shook his head. "I don't think uncle is telling the truth. He is afraid that his baton will give you courage to confront someone with a knife. The last thing you see when you go to the branch is your body."

Hearing this, Luo Jianan looked up at the sky, recalling every detail of that time.After a while, he stubbed out the cigarette butt, looked at Qi Ming and said, "You doctor of psychology is not in vain. I think about it carefully, and it really makes sense. If I didn't have a baton in my hand at that time, I would have designated my colleagues to be dragged away." Desk first ran to the nearest police station."

"That was the right choice, your behavior at that time was too irresponsible to yourself and that female classmate." Qi Ming said and raised his chin toward the building door, "Let's go, don't make auntie wait in a hurry. "

--------

As soon as Luo Jianan put the key into the keyhole, the door was pulled open from the inside, and a pair of white lotus-like arms hung around his neck immediately.

"Brother Jia Nan!" The cheerful bird-like girl hugged Luo Jia Nan's neck firmly.

"Okay, okay, Miaomiao, let go, brother is going to be strangled to death by you." Luo Jianan's face flushed instantly - this girl's arm strength has improved a lot.What kind of special police team do girls get into every family? Isn't it good to go to the branch to be a clerk?

"You brought your friends back." Miaomiao let go of her hands, turned her hands behind her back and tilted her head to look at Qi Ming standing behind Luo Jianan, slightly surprised, "Wow, so handsome."

"Okay, don't be an idiot, pass me the slippers." Luo Jianan put the things in his hand on the ground, "Where is my mother and father?"

"Aunt Liu is in the kitchen, Uncle Luo went to buy sugar, did you meet him just now?" Miaomiao took out two pairs of slippers from the shoe cabinet and handed them to Luo Jianan, leaning over to him while the other was bending over to change shoes and whispered: " I brought my classmate here, Auntie asked, you pay attention later, don't talk about the case at the dinner table, scare people to tears like last time, I will beat your chest!"

"Ah, I know." Luo Jianan replied vaguely, but he knew that Miaomiao was not joking.

Miaomiao's real name is Wang Yuemiao, the son of a martyr, his father and Luo Weidong were colleagues, and died in a mission.The two used to be neighbors and both lived in the family compound of the SWAT team.Miaomiao's mother works in the hospital, and she can't take care of her daughter when she is too busy, so Miaomiao always comes to his house for dinner, and sleeps in his house when her mother is on night shift, and she and Luo Jianan feel like brothers and sisters.This girl started to learn taekwondo in elementary school, participated in national competitions in high school, and joined the special police team after graduating from university.Her "chest beating" is not a little girl acting like a baby, if she doesn't do it well, she will really perforate her lungs.Luo Jianan has never been able to figure out how such a tough girl can pretend to be a little bird.

"Mom, I'm back." Entering the room and shouting towards the kitchen, Luo Jianan noticed a girl with black straight long hair sitting on the sofa.The girl stood up immediately when she saw him, her expression a little nervous.

"This is my high school classmate, Yuan Weiwei, who is now a graduate student at the University of Political Science and Law. Weiwei, this is my brother, Luo Jianan." Miaomiao introduced them for them, and then gestured with her eyes for Luo Jianan to introduce the handsome guy Qi Ming who appeared together.

Just as Luo Jianan was about to speak, his mother just came out of the kitchen. She was slightly taken aback when she saw Qi Ming: "Jia Nan, why didn't you tell me in advance when you brought your friends back?"

"Hello, Auntie. My name is Qi Ming, and I'm Luo Jianan's colleague." Qi Ming handed over the small perfume gift bag in his hand, with an apologetic smile on his face, "I heard from Luo Jianan that your cooking skills are very good. I just came back from abroad, and I haven't eaten home-cooked food for many years. I'm really sorry for the inconvenience."

enough to hold.

If it wasn't for Miaomiao's classmates, Luo Jianan really wanted to roll his eyes.He had never seen Qi Ming look so respectful and polite. This guy usually looks at people with his chin down.Needless to say, his mother was definitely bought off by this smiling face.

"Don't disturb, there are so many people." Liu Minjiao smiled and bent a pair of bright eyes exactly like Luo Jianan's, with fine lines of laughter forming at the corners of the eyes.As a middle-aged woman in her early fifties, she is often praised by her peers for her well-maintained skin. In fact, she usually uses nothing but old-fashioned face creams.

As the old saying goes, faces are born from the heart, and people with a stable mind naturally age slowly.

She politely accepted the gift from Qi Ming, and said: "You are welcome to come anytime you want, but if you bring more things, Auntie won't let you in."

"Okay, just bring your mouth next time." Qi Ming said as he rolled up his sleeves, "Does Auntie need help?"

"No, no, it's almost done. You young people sit down and chat, and have dinner right away."

Before Liu Minjiao returned to the kitchen, she glanced at Yuan Weiwei, and then gave her son a meaningful look, which made Luo Jianan's hair stand on his back.

--------

To say that this Yuan Weiwei really has nothing to choose from, she is well-proportioned and tall, although she is not very beautiful, she has a graceful demeanor and a decent conversation.She put on a little makeup on her face, which was quite to Luo Jianan's liking, he was afraid of those blood red lips that looked like they had eaten dead rats.In addition, he is a high-achieving student from the University of Political Science and Law. He has already passed the judicial examination, and is currently working as an intern in the most famous local law firm before graduation.

Luo Jianan figured it out with his toes, this is definitely the standard daughter-in-law candidate in Liu Minjiao's mind.But he didn't feel anything about Yuan Weiwei, his mother's plan to have a grandson within two years was doomed to fail.

"Are you staying at Teacher Qi's place now?" Miaomiao stuffed an orange into her mouth, hearing Luo Jianan say that she was staying at Qi Ming's house, she almost sprayed him in the face.She swallowed what was in her mouth and said to Qi Ming: "Mr. Qi, I really sympathize with you. My brother is the one who stuffs even his underwear and socks into the washing machine. Remember to disinfect the washing machine after he finishes using it."

Qi Ming's expression turned frosty, and he turned to ask Luo Jianan: "Did you wash your socks in the washing machine last night?"

"No! I washed it by hand!" Luo Jianan hurriedly clarified, and at the same time stuffed an orange into Miaomiao's hand to gag her.It's a good thing he didn't call Yuan Weiwei. If he fell in love with her, he would have to stop talking to Miaomiao.

Then he suddenly remembered the purpose of bringing Qiming home for dinner, and quickly peeled an orange and handed it to him: "Don't you like to eat fruit? Try this, the freshest in season."

Qi Ming looked at him suspiciously, and took the orange hesitantly.Miaomiao looked down at the whole orange in her hand, and then at Luo Jianan peeling off the one for Qi Ming, and asked eccentrically, "Brother Jianan, there are still two living people here, you just peel one?"

"Mr. Qi is a guest." Realizing that he couldn't be too rude, Luo Jianan peeled off another one and handed it to Yuan Weiwei, "Miss Yuan, eat an orange."

"Thank you." After taking the orange, Yuan Weiwei broke off a petal and carefully tore off the white tendons on the petal.

Looking at her serious and meticulous appearance, Qi Ming said: "The orange is rich in vitamin P, which has the function of assisting the absorption of vitamin C. Miss Yuan, you should eat that together."

"Ah? Is that so, I don't...not too sure." Yuan Weiwei smiled sheepishly, "Mr. Qi really knows a lot. What major do you study?"

"I studied medicine."

"Oh, no wonder." Nodding, Yuan Weiwei put the orange in her mouth.

"Now forensic."

The hand holding the orange froze in the air, Yuan Weiwei seemed shocked by Qi Ming's profession.She hesitated for a moment, put down her hands and said to Qi Ming with a dry smile, "Forensic...the forensic doctor is pretty good."

Miaomiao flew at Luo Jianan with an eye knife, and the meaning was very clear—you dare to say that you specialize in solving murder cases, my old lady will beat your chest with fists!

--------

The dishes were all served, Luo Weidong hadn't come back yet, and Liu Minjiao was complaining about the old man buying sugar to go to the sugarcane field when the phone rang at home.After answering the phone, she sat down at the dining table and said to the four young people, "Don't wait, let's eat first. Lao Luo caught a thief in the supermarket and is now dealing with the problem at the police station."

"Hey, Uncle Luo is really, you can't rub the sand in your eyes." Miaomiao said with a small mouth, "When I was training on the team, it was like I didn't know me. Aunt Liu, I want to sue, but Uncle Luo scolded me. I cried once."

"It's not easy for you to scold and cry with such shamelessness." Luo Jianan kicked Miaomiao under the table as soon as she finished speaking.

"Don't be wronged. When your Uncle Luo comes back, Auntie will scold him for you." Liu Minjiao felt sorry for Miaomiao, who lost her father at a young age, and always loved her as if she were her own daughter. I can't come back."

Luo Jianan raised his hand and put a deep-fried prawn on Qiming's plate. "Try it, my mother made this, and the chefs in the restaurants in the city can't compare to it."

Qi Ming looked at him sideways, and said in a low voice, "You should clip Auntie first..."

Luo Jianan hurriedly picked one for his own mother, still muttering: "Mom, you eat, you have worked hard today."

When Liu Minjiao saw that her son would say sweet words, she was moved for a long time.While taking off her apron, she smiled at Qi Ming and said, "Qi Ming, you must be very filial to your parents at home."

Qi Ming lowered his eyes slightly, his eyelashes cast a shadow on his face, and sighed: "The children want to support them but they don't wait for their relatives. There is no chance to be filial to them."

"Yo, this is a big deal. Auntie said the wrong thing." Liu Minjiao hurriedly picked up a piece of fish for him, "Call Auntie if you want to eat in the future, ah, Auntie is ready to send you to work."

Without waiting for Qi Ming to thank him, Luo Jianan tapped the side of the bowl with chopsticks and complained: "Mom, your own son is not treated like this."

"Did you forget the rules? You only knock on the bowl when you are begging for food." Liu Minjiao glared at her son reproachfully, "I have been your mother for so many years, and you gave me a bottle of perfume? Let alone perfume, have you ever bought sesame oil?"

"I'll buy a box for you later in the kitchen." Luo Jianan smiled and said, "Miss Yuan, you're welcome to eat. If you don't eat cleanly, my mother will turn her face off."

"Don't call me an evil mother-in-law."

Liu Minjiao meant something.The more she looked at Yuan Weiwei, the more she liked her. This girl is gentle and quiet. She heard from Miaomiao that she has been patronizing her studies for so many years and has never even had a boyfriend.She also specifically told Miaomiao not to tell Yuan Weiwei that Luo Jianan was doing criminal investigation as soon as she came up, for fear of scaring the girl.It's no wonder she wanted to hide it. When she introduced someone to Luo Jianan before, when he heard that her son was dealing with corpses every day, even the matchmaker waved his hands.What she thought was that the two of them really saw each other well, otherwise, if no one came, where would she go to hold her grandson?

"Hey, Teacher Qi, eat this, and this, ah, you must try this!"

Luo Jianan picked vegetables into Qiming's bowl with one chopstick on the left and the other on the right, and in a short while he piled up a hill of other people's bowls.Qi Ming looked at the things in the bowl, raised half of his eyebrows——what is Luo Jianan doing?Leave the blind date no matter what kind of hospitality he is offering?

Miaomiao, who was sitting next to him, kicked Luo Jianan again under the table—Yuan Weiwei had been left there for almost 10 minutes, why didn't her stupid brother know how to greet him?

Luo Jianan rubbed his calf, and squeezed out a voice from between his teeth at Chong Miaomiao: "You are so fierce, does your boyfriend know?"

"Miaomiao has a boyfriend?" Liu Minjiao looked at Miaomiao in surprise, "Why don't you bring it back for Auntie to see?"

Miaomiao blushed and said, "Don't listen to my brother's nonsense, what kind of boyfriend, no."

"Then you posted it in WeChat Moments that day—I'll go!" Luo Jianan's thigh was pinched by Miaomiao, this guy must be bruised and purple.

Liu Minjiao pretended not to know what they were doing under the table, and said with a smile: "Our Miaomiao is also a big girl. When we really have a boyfriend, we must show it to my aunt. If I dare to bully your aunt, I won't agree."

"Come on, Mom, it's not bad that she doesn't bully others!" Luo Jianan grinned while rubbing her thighs.

"Don't talk nonsense, Miaomiao is a girl, and it's easy to suffer." Liu Minjiao said, putting a spoonful of pine nut corn into Yuan Weiwei's bowl, "Weiwei, you eat vegetables, today Miaomiao said that she would bring friends to eat, Your uncle got up at five o'clock in the morning to go to the morning market to buy vegetables."

"Thank you, auntie." Yuan Weiwei carefully picked up a corn and put it in her mouth, swallowed it and said, "Your craftsmanship is really good."

Liu Minjiao said happily: "If you like to eat, come here often."

Hearing this, Yuan Weiwei squeezed out a embarrassed smile.And talking about a blind date, did Luo Jianan give her a straight look?But she could tell that Luo Jianan must have an unusual relationship with Teacher Qi.

But these two handsome guys made a couple, Yuan Weiwei thought, um, it's not a waste of money.

--------

As soon as the meal was finished, Yuan Weiwei was called back to school by her tutor.She apologized to Liu Minjiao for a long time, saying that she was really embarrassed, and ran away without washing the dishes after eating.Liu Minjiao didn't care, she sent the girl out the door with a smile on her face, then turned back and called Luo Jianan to help with work in the kitchen.

After closing the kitchen door, Liu Minjiao put away the smiling faces on the dinner table and asked, "Luo Jianan, tell me the truth, you and Qi Ming are just colleagues?"

Luo Jianan's heart skipped a beat, he rolled his eyes and said, "That's right, it's about colleagues."

"Then why do you want to live at his house?"

"The underground water pipe in my grandfather's house burst. I don't want to go home and be scolded by my father every day. It's inconvenient for Xu Jie and Dawei. I have a gun, so I can only live in his house."

Liu Minjiao was silent for a while, as if she was looking for a suitable wording.Luo Jianan was beating a small drum in his heart, not daring to explain further.Finally, Liu Minjiao gritted her teeth, and said with difficulty: "Son, if you really don't have feelings for the girl, mom will... agree... that kid Qi Ming looks pretty good... you like it, mom... all... You can try to accept it."

These words were like a concrete slab being slapped head-on, causing black gold stars to pop out of Luo Jianan's eyes, and his breath was almost stuck in his chest.He Zhe's mother saw his "conspiracy" at the dinner table!This is a good move, he lifted a rock and shot himself in the foot, making his mother sad, and his father had to use all the tricks he had learned all his life to dismantle him.

"No, Mom, you misunderstood, really." Luo Jianan walked around, picked up a chopstick and held it up in front of Liu Minjiao, "Look at this, your son is so straight."

Although Liu Minjiao has ideas about sexual orientation, she doesn't read much on the Internet. She doesn't understand what the words "curved" and "straight" mean in young people's mouths.But looking at her son's attitude, she understood that it was Luo Jianan who assured her that he didn't like men.She stared into her son's eyes, using her mother's intuition to judge whether the other party was lying.

Luo Jianan's eyes were clear and sincere, Liu Minjiao couldn't see anything suspicious.She calmed down, picked up a rag, wiped the splashed water outside the sink, and muttered to her son: "Then tell me, what's wrong with Yuan Weiwei? She left her out like that at the dinner table."

Luo Jianan hugged her mother's shoulders, and brought out all the tricks of acting coquettishly and shamelessly: "I didn't say she was bad, but she didn't feel it. Besides, her face changed when she heard that Qi Ming was a forensic doctor. I have to tell her that I am a forensic doctor." For criminal investigation, she will definitely stay away from me."

Throwing the dishcloth on the sink, Liu Minjiao looked back at her son, and said seriously: "Then list what you like, and Mom will select one by one according to your standards."

"Oh my dear mother, where's the quantitative standard for this kind of thing?" Luo Jianan was extremely helpless, "Relax, I'll make this condition of your son, and I'm sure there won't be any left."

Liu Minjiao also had nothing to do with her son, but she still had to repeat what she had to say: "This time flies by quickly, no matter how good the conditions are, what's the use of it? , If you don’t pay attention again, you will be in your forties. If you don’t start a family early, you will die alone? Can I live with you to that age?”

"Mom, you must live a long life." Luo Jianan kissed his mother's face vigorously.

This trick works best.

"I don't want to live a long life, as long as I can see my grandson grow up." Liu Minjiao sighed softly, "When you went undercover before, I couldn't sleep a day, and I was afraid that one day Chen Fei would come and tell me You died in the line of duty. Mom didn't force you, Jia Nan, but your dad and I are only one child, if one day you really... don't leave us a thought, how will you let mom live?"

As she spoke, Liu Minjiao raised the back of her hand to wipe away the moisture from the corners of her eyes.Luo Jianan's eyes were sore from what she said, and he tightened the strength on his arms and hugged him vigorously. "Mom, I understand what you mean, but I really beg you, don't let me go on blind dates again, a twisted melon is not sweet."

Liu Minjiao snorted. "Your dad and I met on a blind date, why aren't you sweet?"

"Sweet, so sweet." Luo Jianan smiled wryly.Every time he heard his father call his mother "Jiaojiao", he got goosebumps layer by layer. "But the times are different, right? Today's girls are not as innocent as you. Seeing that my father looks energetic and upright, he will marry. Do you know what is important now? Feminist awareness, I will really treat you Daughter-in-law, it's up to you whether you want to give birth to a grandson for you."

"Your mother studied at the University of Foreign Languages, what don't you understand?" Liu Minjiao pinched the bridge of her son's tall nose.

Luo Jianan forgot to hold a chopstick in his hand, and raised his hand to wipe his nose with a smile.As a result, the chopsticks flew into the sink with a "swish" and stuck firmly into the gap of the leak-proof groove.The angle was a bit tricky, Luo Jianan didn't pull it out, and tried harder——

"Crack!"

Seeing that the wooden chopsticks representing the straight steel heart were broken into two pieces, Luo Jianan's face turned dark.He gave his mother a dry laugh, opened the anti-leakage slot and angrily pulled off the other part that was stuck on it.Liu Minjiao frowned slightly, looking at Luo Jianan with complicated eyes.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward, just when Luo Jianan was searching for words to distract the matter, the phone suddenly vibrated.

It was actually Xia Yonghui calling.He hurriedly gave Liu Minjiao a "shh" and picked up the phone.

"Little Doctor Xia?"

Xia Yonghui was in a mess, it sounded like someone was arguing.

"Officer Luo, the doctor Zhang Xiaohua died, and the family members are clamoring for someone to pay for his life in the hospital."

The author has something to say: Yuan Weiwei is also a member of my generation...

Nan's mother: son, you are not the one below, are you?

Brother Nan: Mom, what are you thinking! ?
