Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 737: First Meeting with Uncle Li
When her husband came back, the woman told him about her experience and wanted to adopt the siblings. Her husband strongly opposed it and said to her, "Do you know who we are? How can we adopt people of unknown origin? This is irresponsible to ourselves and to the organization. What if? What if they are the children left over there?"

The middle-aged woman objected disapprovingly: "What can an eight-year-old boy and a two-year-old girl understand? What does this have to do with it? Aren't you thinking too much?"

Upon hearing this, the husband retorted: "Don't talk about eight years old. I was only ten years old when I joined the team to fight the Japanese. We have to be responsible to the organization, and this matter ends here." After saying that, he turned around and left.

Although the middle-aged woman disagreed, she still respected her husband's opinion. She had no idea about the future of her siblings.

At this time, Wang Zhan was mopping the floor in the hospital. He felt that he and his sister were in the hospital, taking medicine and eating, and owed the hospital too much, so he felt uneasy. So as soon as he recovered, he thought about doing something for the hospital. After comforting his sister, he went to the utility room, found a mop and a bucket, and mopped the floor from high to low. The hospital staff looked at this child who was not as tall as the mop curiously.

At this time, the nurse in charge of the third floor was anxiously looking for him everywhere. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared. When the female leader of the army came over, she would definitely criticize her.

As they were looking, they saw a little boy mopping the floor on the first floor. The nurse was a little confused and went straight to the dean. The dean came out, took a look and said, "This is a little guy who is loyal. Okay, don't worry about him. If you don't let him mop the floor, who knows what else he will do."

When the middle-aged woman came to the hospital and heard about this, she became more interested in the brother and sister, but her husband always disagreed, and she had no way to adopt them, so she could only entrust the Military Control Commission to handle the matter.

A sister named Wang from the Fifth District Military Control Commission came to the hospital. After seeing the middle-aged woman, they greeted each other and introduced themselves. Then she listened to her story about the two siblings. Sister Wang found the ward and patiently communicated with Wang Zhan. She didn't believe that the siblings didn't remember their parents. Other relatives might not remember them, but how could such important people as parents not remember them? She was skeptical on this point.

Wang Zhan saw a woman in military uniform. He was silent for a long time and said, "My father once said that I was not allowed to mention my parents' names in front of anyone. I could only mention them in front of one person. I came to Beiping this time to find him, but I don't know where he is. He should be one of yours. My father said that I could only tell his name when asked by this person."

Sister Wang suddenly became curious. She didn't know whether she should ask more questions. She felt that the matter was a little beyond her imagination, so she asked reluctantly: "Well, what's the name of that person? Tell me, maybe I know him. Even if I don't, I can help you find out."

Wang Zhan hesitated for a long time before replying, "That man is called Li Wenbo. He worked in Shanghai and was my father's teacher."

When Sister Wang heard this, she was completely confused, as she had never heard of this person. But the middle-aged woman next to her was suddenly shocked, she stood up and ran outside quickly. Sister Wang saw that this leader knew this person, so she immediately followed her outside.

The middle-aged woman was shocked and a little overwhelmed. Ma Shan ran to the dean's office and called his superior, who then reported to Li Wenbo. Li Wenbo was a little confused when he received the call. He didn't remember any children he knew. Could they be the children of his students? He asked, "What are the surnames of those two children? Where are they from?"

When he learned that the two children's surname was Wang and they had fled from Hebei, Li Wenbo fell silent on the other end of the phone and said seriously: "Those children are very important. Protect them. I'll be there right away."

After thinking about it, Li Wenbo told the story of the two children. When the middle-aged woman learned that the two children were the children of Wang Ming and his wife, she burst into tears. The director and vice director of the hospital were alarmed and ran over to see what was going on. Soon they figured out what was going on. The parents of the two children were senior agents under Li Wenbo. They died heroically while performing a mission in Shanghai on the eve of victory, but they saved many people, including the husband of the middle-aged woman. However, he really didn't expect that Wang Ming had two children, and these two children had been wandering for two years. How did these two young children survive? Two years of ups and downs, two years of life and death, two years of eating and sleeping in the open, how could Wang Ming and his wife not leak a word?

Everyone present shed tears. After a while, the middle-aged woman's husband also came to the hospital after hearing the news. After learning about the situation, he reported it to his superiors, then locked himself in the toilet and burst into tears.

After a long time, the couple came to the ward and saw the particularly sensible Wang Zhan. They asked, "Do you two want to live with us? We will take good care of you like your parents do?"

Unexpectedly, Wang Zhan shook his head firmly and said, "My name is Wang Zhan, I am Wang Ming's son. When my father died, he said that I was a soldier and a man who could stand tall and proud. I can work, I can support my sister, and I can take care of my sister myself."

The middle-aged couple tried to persuade him for a long time, but Wang Zhan still insisted on his own opinion until Li Wenbo arrived. Li Wenbo looked at Wang Zhan for a long time without saying anything, and said with tears in his eyes: "It's true, he looks exactly like Wang Ming."

Wang Zhan looked at the bespectacled uncle with a little surprise and asked, "Do you know my father? Are you Uncle Li Wenbo? My father told me to bring my sister to Beijing to find you if I couldn't survive. He also gave me two silver dollars, but I lost them."

Uncle Li said, "You are right. I am your Uncle Li. Do you want to come to my house?"

At this time, Wang Zhan shook his head and said, "My father said not to cause trouble to anyone. My family is gone. I just want to find a job in Beijing and raise my sister. I am already grown up and I can do anything."

Uncle Li adjusted his glasses, tears falling uncontrollably, and said, "You are as stubborn as your father. Are you not going to look for your parents?"

Wang Zhan said sadly, "I can't find them. If they are still here, they will come back to find us. When they left, they told me to take good care of my sister and come to Beiping if I really can't survive. They said there should be a way to survive here. My father also told me not to cause trouble to anyone."

Uncle Li looked at this child who was as stubborn as Wang Ming in silence. He turned his head and looked at the middle-aged man and said, "Go and call the people from the Military Control Commission here and tell them that I want to talk to them."

Not long after, a company commander from the Military Control Commission arrived. When he saw Chief Li, he suddenly became nervous and saluted. Uncle Li said, "Those are the children of the two martyrs. You should give them a better house. I will tell you the ranks of his parents later. Find someone more reliable to take care of them until they finish their studies or get a job. We will pay their living expenses and school fees on time every month. This is a mission and an order. Go and do it."
