In the early morning, in the low-rise public housing estate in Ming Tak Estate, Sham Shui Po, the first person to open his eyes is always Yi Jiadong from Unit B on the second floor. This has always been the case in recent years.

He seems to have less sleep than the elderly, but he is the loudest among the people on the street who greet him. It seems that he can replenish the energy that others need to sleep for several days by sleeping for only a few hours.

He puts on his clothes as quickly and quietly as possible, and walks out of the room on tiptoe without waking up his younger brother who is sleeping on the upper bunk in the boys' room. This is a special ability that Yi Jiadong has long mastered.

He closed the door with his backhand, and suddenly saw a white shadow flash by, which scared him so much that he almost broke down.

Fortunately, Yi Jiadong realized in time that the white shadow was Yi Jiayi who was going to the bathroom, so he avoided closing the door and making a noise. Yi Jiadong patted his chest lightly, afraid that he would disturb his elder sister, so he took the lead to greet her quietly:

"Do you want some water?"

The little girl turned her head, shook her fluffy long hair, squinted her eyes and muttered, "Brother." Then she flashed into the bathroom, as if she didn't understand what he said at all.

Unable to help laughing, Yi Jiadong turned into the small kitchen and poured a glass of water. When the little girl came out of the bathroom, he stretched out his hand to pass the water to her.

Yi Jiayi's eyes were not fully open yet, and she obediently took the cup of water and drank most of the bowl. Her elder brother rubbed her messy hair, and she went back to her room in a daze to sleep.

Yi Jiadong smiled helplessly, took the money and keys and went out.

Although the eldest sister has already started working, she is still as silly as she was in school. How can a girl who doesn't behave like an adult at all suddenly be able to make money?

I bought a lot of ingredients at the market, and took some to the shop at the intersection of Ivy Street. After simply sorting and refrigerating and freezing them, I took the rest of the ingredients home.

On the way back, the tabloid stand was open as usual. The strange thing was that the newspaper seller didn't sit on the pony and yawn today, but stood in front of the stand holding a stack of newspapers and looking forward.

Yi Jiadong had just turned around and was far away from the old man when the old man waved at him, "Adong! Adong!"

"Aganbo, what's the matter?" Yi Jiadong took two steps forward and was stuffed with a newspaper before he opened his mouth. "Look, look, is it your eldest sister? Is it Jiayi?"

Yi Jiadong was confused and looked at the headline in disbelief under the light of the street lamp that had not yet been turned off and the faint white light that swept across the diagonal street.

There was a graduation photo of a girl in police uniform printed on it. The girl looked solemn and serious, but there was still a smile in her eyes. She was still childish, and she was cool and upright.

"And this." Gumber bent down again and rummaged through the newspaper stand, pulling out seven or eight newspapers at once. "This is also the headline. Look at this. The column says that Jiayi has been excellent in both character and study since she was young. We can prove this. We have watched you and your siblings grow up together. You are all good children. Jiayi is promising. She catches criminals for the people. She is very impressive. Your parents are in the afterlife..."

Gumber's voice was still mumbling, but Yi Jiadong could no longer hear it clearly.

He took the newspapers handed over by the other party and read them one by one. Some newspapers had photos of Jiayi when she was on duty at Yau Ma Tei Police Station, and some were ID photos.

Some were smiling, some were serious, and some were a little reserved in front of the camera.

All of them were of his sister, the silly girl who went to the toilet that morning with disheveled hair and a dazed look, and drank whatever was given to her.

He rushed home with a few newspapers in his hands, and was stopped by Gumber again: "Adong, your dishes."

Yi Jiadong then realized that he had left all the ingredients in front of the newspaper stand, so he ran back to pick them up, took out money from his pocket to pay for the newspapers, and stuffed two pineapple buns into Gumber's pocket. Without waiting for him to say anything, he ran away with his things and newspapers in his arms. For

the first time, Yi Jiadong was not careful when he returned home. Not only was he not afraid of waking up his brothers and sisters, he wanted to wake up everyone in the whole building!

He slammed the door, threw the vegetables and meat into the kitchen, and then circled around the sofa with the newspapers in his hands.

The small living room was too crowded, and if he walked a little faster, he would bump into the table here and there, kick the trash can there, and make a clanging sound from time to time.

"Is Gilas here to destroy mankind?" Yi Jiaru, who went to bed early, was the first to be woken up. He opened the door and looked at his eldest brother with resentment. As a result, he was covered in newspapers before he opened his mouth.

One minute later, she joined the noise alliance of Yi Jiadong and made an uncontrollable high-pitched shout: "Ah! It's big sister! Big sister is on the headlines! The pretty policewoman has made great contributions and achieved the efficient record of solving cases in Yau Ma Tei Police Station!"

With a bang, the door of the boys' room was pushed open, and the 12-year-old little brother Yi Jiajun pushed the door open and ran out in boxer shorts, randomly brushing his hair with both hands, rushing to the table, staring and asking anxiously:

"Big sister is in the newspaper? Where? Where? Let me see! Let me see too!"

Yi Jiayi hurriedly put on her clothes and ran out, rushed to the table, looked at the messy newspapers spread on the table, stared at the big and small "Yi Jiayi" on them in disbelief, and almost couldn't recognize what to read these three words.

There were also those photos of all sizes. She looked up in disbelief, staring at her brothers and sisters. When she realized that everyone else was laughing excitedly, she raised the corners of her mouth woodenly.

She felt that she was still dreaming.

The younger brother, who was at the age of hating cats and dogs, suddenly went crazy and rushed to the window. He pushed the window open with a bang and shouted outside: "My sister is on the newspaper, the lucky policewoman, bringing good luck for justice--"

Yi Jiadong and Yi Jiaru rushed over from the left and right, one covered the younger brother's mouth, and the other hugged his waist and dragged him back to the house.

After pinning down the little monkey and making sure he wouldn't go crazy again, Yi Jiadong whispered, "Be careful or someone will call the police. Your sister will be on the headlines tomorrow morning for disturbing the public and the police will be dispatched to mediate."

Although the siblings stopped Yi Jiajun's immature behavior in time, voices of opening windows and inquiring questions could be heard outside the window:

"What's going on?"

"Who's yelling?"

People live in public housing, and if someone farts in this building, the stench can be smelled by those next door, not to mention opening the window and shouting in the morning. It would be like a loudspeaker for the whole area.

Seeing many people leaning against the window to ask, Yi Jiadong had to push the window open to explain:

"Auntie Ling, Jiayi was credited with catching the murderer at the police station yesterday. It was published in the newspaper this morning."

The eldest sister who had just bought Shengjian downstairs looked up and laughed, "Several front-page headlines. The photos are so beautiful. Adong, your eldest sister is so amazing."

"It is said that the police estimated that it would take a year to solve the case. Jiayi has a good eye and found the murder weapon that no one else found. She made a great contribution."

"Oh, it also said later that Jiayi bravely caught the murderer on the street. She is so powerful. In the future, we will ask Jiayi to protect the law and order of our Mingde Estate." Another uncle who got up early smiled and looked up to report.

Neighbors from all four circles leaned over the windows to listen to the excitement. The older ones actively participated, and they were all very proud. There was even an uncle who smiled and repeated: "I held Jiayi when she was a child. When I saw her rise to prominence, I knew she would do great things in the future."

"Uncle Lin, at that time, Jiayi had just bumped into your Erdan in the alley and got a bump. Of course, she rose to prominence. After that, for a long time, Yi Dashao would not let Jiayi play with your Erdan."

The late father Yi was nicknamed "Yi Dashao" by the neighbors because he always carried a large shovel he made.

Yi Jiadong leaned over the window to listen to the old neighbors discussing Jiayi's childhood, and his heart was warm.

"Brother, can you buy a few more newspapers? Let's burn some for mom and dad to make them happy." Jiaru suggested to her brother while planning to buy a few to bring to school.

The four siblings had a rare breakfast together. At the table, Yi Jiadong was concerned about Jiayi's shoulder injury and asked her to finish work and go home early. He would make soybean pig's trotter soup for her.

After dinner, he helped her move her bicycle downstairs and said goodbye to her with a festive look on his face.

Her family was happier and more excited than she was, which made Yi Jiayi embarrassed to laugh.

Riding a bicycle through the alleys, she encountered more neighbors. Not only did they say hello, but they also congratulated her for her great achievements today. The atmosphere of praise and celebration was like the New Year.

Thinking of the reactions of her brother and younger siblings, she was a little at a loss.

It was so strange that so many people liked what she liked when she experienced something.

When she was growing up, because her parents were busy with their own things, Yi Jiayi once wrote down the pain of growing up alone in her diary with tears in her eyes.

In her childhood when friendship was the most important, I don’t know who was the first to stop contacting, and since then I have lost my good friends, and I have sadly understood what separation means.

After being envied and slandered, I learned to be restrained and not show off.

At the age of loyalty, she felt wronged and angry because others failed to meet her expectations. After quarreling with her best friends and even breaking up with them, she learned to reflect on herself and understand what the safe boundaries between people are. She

continued to grow up, stumbling and accepting loneliness, learning to be independent, and finally being able to smile bitterly and endure celebrating good grades alone and licking her wounds alone.

But suddenly, three people who were connected by blood and dependent on each other appeared around her, overturning the wall she had built outside her heart and forcibly blowing hot air into her small space.

It took Yi Jiayi longer than usual to ride to work today.

Because the useless little policewoman secretly turned into the alley, she cried.

As she pushed her bicycle crookedly onto the main road while wiping away her tears, Yi Jiayi wondered why she hadn't received her salary yet.

She also didn't know if she would get any bonus for helping the serious crime team solve the case.

Her brother's tennis racket was in pieces, and she wanted to buy him a new one of a good brand.

Her sister's leather shoes were getting on her feet, and the outline of her big toe was visible when she walked. She wanted to buy her sister a new pair of leather shoes.

Her brother always sang in the smoke while cooking, and she wanted to buy him a better range hood and invite him to have a good time at KTV.

Family...woohoo...

she would work hard for them!
