Chapter 405 My man is so awesome, I am proud!
The market was very lively.
It was the first time for Lin Wanxia to go to such a market. She
was more curious.
She would pass by this street every time she came back from Jiang's house. It was just an ordinary commercial street.
But in one morning it became a lively and bustling market.
She didn't know where so many vendors came from. There were too many people
in the market. There were more than ten people in the Jiang family, young and old. They were out of step and easily dispersed by the crowd. Their shopping efficiency was also low, so they agreed on a meeting place later and acted separately in small families.
Jiang's father and mother took the sixth and seventh children.
The fourth brother and his wife took their three children.
Lin Wanxia and Jiang Sinian took Xingxing and Yueyue.
Jiang's father and mother are in charge of the family finances and are responsible for buying food for the New Year.
The fourth brother and his wife have a little private money and plan to buy new clothes and snacks for the children.
As for Lin Wanxia's family of four, they wandered around aimlessly without a purpose, focusing on something new.
The market is divided into categories according to food, clothing, housing and transportation.
For example, most of the clothing stores are concentrated in one area.
The family of four has everything in need of clothes, and they couldn't find any treasures here, so they stayed away from this crowded disaster area. During
the New Year, people wear clothes and eat.
Apart from clothes, the most lively thing is food.
Chicken, duck, fish, meat, and vegetables that people usually don't want to buy.
Dishes that are very common decades later are still very rare now, such as lotus root.
In the winter in the north, there are few kinds of vegetables, and they are usually cabbage, potatoes, and winter melon, which are easy to store for a long time.
Lotus roots are extremely precious. There are
also daily necessities such as pots, bowls, and spoons.
Every Chinese New Year, people pay attention to adding bowls and chopsticks.
Of course, Lin Wanxia's family of four don't care about these, so they focus on snacks and playing.
Snacks are some snacks such as cotton candy and sugar men.
As for playing, there are more varieties.
There are circled areas for roller skating, raffles, and ring tossing.
Xingxing is interested in playing.
Yueyue is interested in many people.
She has never seen so many people and is very curious.
The family of four was following the crowd to the next place, and suddenly, Jiang Sinian let go of Lin Wanxia's hand.
Lin Wanxia subconsciously looked at Jiang Sinian, only to see him holding Yueyue in one hand and grabbing the man who had just squeezed past them with the other hand, while raising his leg and kicking the man's knee.
The man was caught off guard and fell to the ground, with his arms pinned behind his back by Jiang Sinian.
Lin Wanxia hurriedly took Yueyue and held her, while holding Xingxing tightly, and asked Jiang Sinian: "What's wrong?"
The sudden change startled the people around, and everyone made way.
Lin Wanxia's family of four and the middle-aged man were trapped in the middle.
Jiang Sinian lowered his head and exerted a little force with his hands. The middle-aged man screamed, and then the blade caught in the gap between his fingers fell to the ground.
Jiang Sinian picked up the blade on the ground, examined it carefully, and then spoke: "He cut my pocket."
Nowadays, popular razors are all manual, equipped with a soft, sharp blade with a hollow center.
The blade is much thinner than that small eyebrow razor, which is about the length of two knuckles of the index finger.
Jiang Sinian was holding this kind of razor blade, and only half of it.
It was very small and could not be seen at all when clamped between the fingertips.
"Thief!"
Someone in the lively crowd who reacted quickly exclaimed, and began to look through his pockets at the same time.
Others also subconsciously checked where they kept their money.
"Oh no! My pocket has been cut!"
"My money is gone too."
"Amitabha, luckily mine hasn't been cut yet. This is the only piece of clothing I have without patches."
"..."
Lin Wanxia subconsciously looked at her own clothes. Oh, her clothes had no pockets.
But Xingxing shouted angrily: "You even attacked children, are you a human being?"
He put his hand into his shirt pocket and stretched it out. Everyone could see a knife cut on the outside of the pocket.
If Xingxing hadn't held it with his hand, it wouldn't have been visible.
It can be seen that the technique is very skillful, the blade is smooth, and the cut must have been fast, fierce and steady.
"That's too much! I worked hard for a year, and I just wanted to buy some New Year's goods, and you stole it!"
I don't know who couldn't help but kick the thief.
This kick seemed to ignite the anger of the crowd.
Regardless of whether something was stolen or not, they all wanted to punch and kick Jiang Sinian.
Jiang Sinian let go of his hand, and when the thief was almost beaten, he shouted, "The police are here!"
Most people are in awe of law enforcement officers, and they immediately dispersed when they heard it.
Jiang Sinian then picked up the thief whose face was covered in blood and walked out.
But the police did rush over.
There are too many people at the market, and accidents are prone to happen.
So there will be patrol officers nearby.
Seeing that there was movement here, they rushed over.
After asking about the situation, they took the thief away.
When Jiang Sinian was negotiating with the police, the crowd did not completely disperse.
After hearing that he was a soldier, they began to praise him.
"You are worthy of being a soldier, you are so skilled!"
"You are the people's soldiers, you are really reliable at critical moments."
"That's right! If our soldiers were not here, who knows how many more people would have been harmed!"
"..."
Lin Wanxia raised her lips with pride.
Jiang Sinian was confused: "What are you laughing at?"
"I'm happy! My man is so awesome, I'm proud!"
Jiang Sinian: "..."
What's so great about catching a thief?
Seeing Jiang Sinian's thoughts, Lin Wanxia shook her head, "You don't have to have made great military achievements to be awesome! No matter how many military achievements you have made, you can only be awesome in the army and in front of the leaders.
Unless they sacrifice themselves, the names of ordinary heroes will not appear in front of the public.
But catching this thief is different, you caught it in public.
Everyone comes to the market with the money they have saved throughout the year, and if they are stolen, they will cry.
Of course, you will become everyone's hero."
Jiang Sinian: "..."
Seeing Lin Wanxia happy, Xingxing and Yueyue were also very happy.
Xingxing shouted, "Dad is so great!"
Yueyue also followed her brother and shouted, "Baba...great!"
Jiang Sinian's lips slowly lifted up.
Sometimes happiness is really simple.
Jiang Sinian caught the thief, and he had to follow the police to the nearby police station to make a statement before he could go back.
This delay lasted until almost noon.
The family of four simply went directly to the place they had agreed to meet in the morning.
Unexpectedly, Jiang's father and mother and Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi had already arrived.
Jiang's father and mother didn't look very good.
Xiaoliu was still sobbing, and Xiaoqi hung his head.
"Mom and Dad, why are you back so early?" Jiang Sinian said.
Jiang's father didn't say anything, and Jiang's mother said angrily, "I don't know where this damn pickpocket came from! He cut my purse and stole all the money!"
Then there was a long string of unbearable greetings.
Lin Wanxia looked at Jiang Sinian, "It looks like a gang crime, there is more than one thief in this episode."
