After dinner, Jianshu said goodbye to the Chen family and went home to take a nap and rest.

When Jianshu went to work in the afternoon, he carried a military backpack containing some tea, an enamel pot and some textbooks.

I've been so bored this morning, and I guess it will be the same in the future. I'd better bring something to kill time.

Jianshu went there early in the afternoon, and no one else came except her.

I made a cup of tea and looked at my textbook. Soon everyone started to arrive.

Everyone greeted her when they saw her, and Jianshu responded enthusiastically.

In the afternoon, she finally saw Section Chief Li from the department. He was forty years old, had a serious face, and looked difficult to approach.

The day passed quickly, but I didn't do anything on Jianshu all day. I just read some information, listened to gossip, drank tea, and did some exercises.

Life is really leisurely.

She wouldn't find such a life boring. Who says life has to be exciting? Aren't most people's lives just ordinary?

In this era, days like this are the best.

Gradually, everyone is becoming familiar with Jianshu, and people are no longer as cautious and polite as before?

That day, Jianshu wanted to go to the black market, so he left work early and prepared to go home first.

As I rode my bike to the entrance of the alley, I heard a bustling sound coming from the front:

"Oh, whose kid is this? How dare he steal things?"

"It doesn't look like it's from our neighborhood. I don't think anyone knows it."

"I've seen this guy a lot these past few days. I thought he was a relative, but I didn't expect him to be a thief. He must have been scouting the place a few days ago."

"Thanks to the boss of the Chen family, if it weren't for this family, it would have been terrible."

"Luckily, no one was home. Did you see that? I used a knife when I escaped just now."

“…”

Did they catch the thief? Which family was so unlucky to be targeted by a thief?

Jianshu came closer and saw that they were all gathered at the gate of his yard.

No way, this unlucky person is actually her?

He hurried over on his bike.

A group of old men and women gathered at the door, and a man in his early twenties who looked a bit scoundrel was tied up with hemp ropes and lying on the ground.

"Auntie Chen, what happened?" He stopped the car and saw Auntie Zhang in the crowd, so he hurried over and asked.

"Shushu, why are you back? I was just about to ask someone to call you." Aunt Chen heard the voice coming from her ear and turned around to see that it was Jianshu who came back.

"I came back to get something." It was not convenient to talk about skipping work in public, so he just made up an excuse to get away with it.

Aunt Chen didn't ask any more questions after hearing this: "When your brother Chen came back today, he saw someone sneaking around in front of your house.

He was planning to pick your lock, so I ran over to stop him. Unexpectedly, the thief had a knife with him. Everyone heard the noise and came out to help, and together we subdued him."

Jian Shu's heart trembled when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "Is Brother Chen okay? Is he injured? Have you reported it to the police?"

"He's fine. Everyone got out quickly. He's doing OK and isn't injured. I just went to report to the police. They've been here for a while now, so they should be here soon."

Jianshu finally felt relieved. It would be bad if someone got hurt because of this.

The thieves have been caught, and Jianshu can't do anything but wait for the police to arrive.

Thinking of all the uncles and aunts who had helped me, I quickly ran over to thank them.

"Thank you all for what happened today, thank you!"

"It's okay, we're neighbors, it's what we should do."

"Yes, anyone who encounters this will help."

"It's mainly thanks to Boss Chen. If it weren't for him, no one would have discovered it."

“…”

The old men and women all waved their hands and told Jianshu not to be so polite.

Although everyone says this, I have written down this letter of gratitude and will return it in the future.

After a while, the eldest son of the Chen family came back with the police.

When they got closer, Jianshu realized that the leader was Qian Wenhan.

Jian Shu went up to him and said, "Uncle Qian, you're back?"

A few days ago when we moved, Zhao Mingze said that Qian Wenhan was on a mission, but I didn’t expect that it was him who came today.

It would be easier if he is an acquaintance. There is no need to worry about any consequences of this matter. Qian Wenhan will handle it.

"Shushu, are you okay? I just came back from a mission today. I heard that a thief was caught. When I asked for the address, I found out it was yours, so I hurried over." Qian Wenhan looked a little worried and looked Jianshu up and down.

Feeling his care, Jianshu felt warm inside. Although she was an orphan in this life, there were still many people who cared about her, so she didn't feel lonely.

"Uncle Qian, I'm fine. The thief had already been caught when I just came back, and I didn't have to see him. This is all thanks to Brother Chen and all the neighbors."

After hearing Jianshu say that everything was fine, Qian Wenhan was completely relieved and only then had the time to deal with this matter.

He looked at the thief who was tied up on the ground and said to the other police officers behind him, "Take him back to the police station first. I'll come back and deal with it later."

This thief not only stole things, but also used a knife. Qian Wenhan felt a little scared when he thought about it.

If he hadn't been discovered, Jianshu might have run into the thief.

If this thief gets desperate, how can a little girl defeat a grown man?

Old Jian has only this child. If something happens to him, how can he face Old Jian?

Everyone swore an oath back then that those who were still alive would take good care of the families of others.

After the thief was taken away, Qian Wenhan brought Jianshu to the crowd.

"Thank you all for what happened today. It's all thanks to you for catching the thief. Otherwise, who knows what would have happened. I want to thank you all here."

After saying this, he took Jianshu and bowed to everyone.

"Hey, get up quickly, don't be so polite."

"Yes, yes. We are all neighbors. As the saying goes, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. It's all as it should be."

"The kid has already thanked me a little while ago. It's very polite."

"It's okay, everyone helps each other!"

“…”

Qian Wenhan stood up and said, "This child's family sacrificed their lives for the country, and she is the only one left in the family. If something happens to this child, we comrades don't know how to explain it to her father.

I really need everyone's help today. She lives here alone now. If she encounters any problems in the future, please go to the nearest police station to notify me. Thank you!"

Although an orphan girl is likely to attract the covetousness of others, it is impossible to hide the fact that Jianshu lives alone.

After all, after a long time, everyone will find that she is the only one coming in and out of the house.

The thief might have known this, which is why he chose to steal things when Jianshu was at work.

In this case, it would be better to just reveal the identity of the martyr's orphan.

After all, it is an honor to join the army now, and people will definitely be more caring towards the families of soldiers, especially the orphans of martyrs.
