Major Crimes Unit Starts with Police Academy Students

"Your senior sister came back yesterday and brought us so much fruit."

You said the two of us couldn't possibly finish all that food? Since you're here, I'll wash some fruit for you."

After saying that, the teacher's wife took some fruit out of the refrigerator, put it in the sink, and prepared to wash it.

Seeing this, Wu Mingcheng realized that he had only wanted to make things easier for his teacher's wife, but now she was busy again.

So he walked over to his teacher's wife and put his hands on her shoulders.

As he pushed his teacher's wife towards the kitchen exit, he spoke.

"Alright, Mrs. Shi, let me do it. You go sit on the sofa for a bit, I'll be done in a minute."

The teacher's wife said with a smile,

"I'll help you out, and if you can't find something, I can help you look for it."

Wu Mingcheng frequently visited his teacher's home; it's no exaggeration to say that he knew the kitchen better than his own dormitory.

He said,

"Madam, are there any things in the house that I can't find? Don't worry about it."

"Finally, I can relax a bit and don't have to cook. Go sit outside and stop fussing!"

Seeing that she couldn't do anything about Wu Mingcheng, the teacher's wife said helplessly,

"Okay, okay, okay, okay, I won't stay here anymore. But remember to wash those fruits, you can eat them later."

The teacher's wife only wanted to have some fruit herself, which deeply moved Wu Mingcheng.

Wu Mingcheng responded,

"Okay, don't worry, I'll wash it after I finish cooking."

So, the teacher's wife shook her head with a wry smile, and then walked out of the kitchen.

Then, Wu Mingcheng busied himself in the kitchen, first rinsing the rice and then cooking porridge in a pot.

Then, he made a few side dishes, which can be eaten with the porridge later.

After doing all that, he washed the fruit his teacher's wife had brought out, put it on a plate, and took it out.

The teacher's wife was sitting in the living room, watching a science and technology channel on TV.

Wu Mingcheng sat down on the sofa and placed the fruit in front of his teacher's wife.

"Teacher's wife, have some fruit. The strawberries my senior sister bought are quite big and sweet."

As he spoke, he picked up a strawberry and put it in his mouth.

The professor's wife is also a renowned and senior professor at the People's Public Security University of China, so she pays close attention to Wu Mingcheng's academic progress.

At this moment, she asked with concern,

"Mingcheng, how's that research project you participated in with the Ministry of Public Security of China going?"

Wu Mingcheng spoke up,

"That project is nearing completion. We'll probably be preparing the final report soon, and then it'll be all done."

The teacher's wife nodded, then suddenly seemed to remember something.

Then, she told Wu Mingcheng something that all elderly people tell their children.

Then, the teacher's wife said meaningfully,

"Mingcheng, your teacher's wife knows you're busy and have a lot of things to take care of right now."

But no matter how busy you are, you should still pay attention to your love life.

You're about to graduate with your PhD and start working soon, it's time to find someone.

When Wu Mingcheng heard his teacher's wife bring up this topic, he gave a perfunctory reply.

"Madam, I'm not in a hurry. I don't have a job yet, and I don't have a stable life,"

The teacher's wife then spoke earnestly,

"Mingcheng, you're not young anymore, it's time you found a girlfriend."

You should do things appropriate for your age. The sooner you decide on this, the more focused you can be on your career.

And if you're busy, that's fine too. I've seen many girls with pretty good qualities at the college.

I'll introduce you to her then, and if you're interested, you can get to know her better.

Besides, we're not bad ourselves, we're good-looking and outstanding, there are plenty of good girls for you to choose from."

Chapter 41 Thesis Topic Selection

When Wu Mingcheng realized that his teacher's wife intended to discuss this topic in depth, he immediately felt a headache coming on.

He glanced at his watch and then quickly said,

"Madam, the porridge in the pot will be ready soon. I'll go check on it to make sure it doesn't burn."

Then, he quickly got up, headed to the kitchen, and made his escape.

Seeing Wu Mingcheng's reaction, the teacher's wife said helplessly,

"You little rascal, every time this topic comes up, you disappear in a flash. I don't even know what to say to you."

Just then, the sound of a key rattling the lock came from outside the door.

Immediately afterwards, the door opened, and Professor Wang Jiancheng walked in.

As soon as he entered the door, he smelled a strong fragrance, and then he was somewhat stunned when he saw his wife sitting on the sofa.

Because when he usually comes home, his wife is always busy cooking in the kitchen.

So he said,

"Oh, old woman, it smells so good! Who's cooking inside? Could it be our daughter coming home?"

His teacher's wife rolled her eyes at him and said,

Do you think your precious daughter can cook?

Professor Wang Jiancheng thought for a moment, and then said...

"Yeah, all she does is eat, she can't cook at all."

The teacher's wife was somewhat amused by Wang Jiancheng's words about her daughter, and then said,

"How can you talk about your own daughter like that?"

At this moment, Wang Jiancheng realized what was happening and spoke again.

"Is this Mingcheng? Only he cares so much about you, his teacher's wife, how could he bear to let you cook?"

"I knew it! I hadn't seen him all afternoon. Turns out he was planning to come over tonight."

As Professor Wang Jiancheng was speaking, Wu Mingcheng came out of the kitchen and saw his teacher, Professor Wang Jiancheng.

He smiled and said,

"Teacher, you're back! Perfect timing, the porridge is ready, please wash your hands and eat."

Seeing this, Wang Jiancheng asked with great interest,

"Hey, you're actually doing pretty well, aren't you? You're a PhD, why don't you do research?"

"You actually came to the teacher's house to cook! What kind of porridge did you make today?"

Wu Mingcheng said with a smile,

"Teacher, I made congee with preserved egg and lean pork. I just learned how to make it online, but I don't know how well it turned out."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jiancheng couldn't resist trying it himself, so he hurried upstairs to change his clothes.

"Okay, I'll go upstairs first and come down right away."

Next, Wu Mingcheng returned to the kitchen, ladled out the porridge, and then brought it to the table along with a few side dishes.

Wang Jiancheng changed his clothes, washed his hands, and then went straight to the dining table.

He looked at the dishes on the table, and they certainly looked appetizing; they had both good color and aroma.

He looked with great interest at the side dishes and porridge laid out on the table, and then said,

"Oh my, Mingcheng, it seems your skills have improved quite a bit!"

These things look really good, let me try them and see how they taste.”

Wu Mingcheng said with a smile,

"Teacher, my cooking skills aren't very good either, unlike your wife's. Teacher, and your wife, you two should try it and see if it suits your taste."

Wang Jiancheng picked up a spoon and took a sip of the congee with preserved egg and lean pork that Wu Mingcheng had made.

He nodded in approval immediately.

"Yes, it tastes really good. Honey, you should try some too,"

The teacher's wife knew that Wang Jiancheng usually had high standards for the taste and other aspects of food.

Seeing that even Wang Jiancheng was praising Wu Mingcheng, she also took a bite with great anticipation.
