Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 743: Continue to recall VI

Wang Zhan was completely confused at that time, but he knew that his parents were going to leave them. However, Wang Zhan never shed tears because he always remembered his father's words, "You are already a man and a warrior." He was only six years old that year and his sister had just turned one month old.

The next day, when Wang Zhan woke up, there was no one at home except his sister. His father burned all the things related to writing before he left. Wang Zhan looked at the heavy snow outside and cried uncontrollably, but he kept covering his mouth and made no sound. Until his sister's crying was heard, Wang Zhan hurriedly went to the kitchen to find the milk left by his mother, heated it up and fed it to his sister.

A few days later, the village was occupied by a group of stragglers. A kind-hearted hunter secretly took him and his sister to the mountain. As soon as they reached the top of the mountain, Wang Zhan saw that his home had been engulfed in fire.

The hunter helped Wang Zhan take care of the children, and when Wang Zhan had nothing to do, he learned hunting from the hunter. After just two months, the hunter went down the mountain to exchange some goat milk for his little sister. He never came back. After all, Wang Zhan was still young, and without food, he had no choice but to escape from the mountain and the village with his sister, begging all the way north.

Uncle Li smoked silently, tears flowing from his eyes uncontrollably. The accompanying personnel and people from the Military Control Commission who were taking notes nearby also had tears in their eyes and were unable to speak.

In order to ease the atmosphere, Uncle Li smiled and said to Wang Zhan, "What kind of boxing did your father teach you? Come and practice with uncle."

Wang Zhan stood up and performed the set of boxing that he had practiced countless times. Several people were stunned. Everyone was familiar with this set of boxing. It was the military boxing that everyone practiced in the old district.

Uncle Li said, "Don't show it to outsiders in the future. Okay, let's stop here today. Every time I recall the past, it is always a sad thing."

At this moment, there was a knock at the front door. Sister Wang ran over quickly and opened the door. She frowned and looked at Yan Bugui and his wife standing at the front door of No. 95 Yard. She blurted out, "Why are you here?"

Yan Bugui and his wife stood there awkwardly. Sister Wang said firmly, "If you have anything to say, come to the Military Control Commission to find me tomorrow. It's really not convenient today. You should go back first."

After saying that, he closed the door without waiting for the couple to say anything. Yan Bugui and his wife were stunned and stood there for a long time before turning around and walking out of the alley.

Uncle Li sat in Wang Zhan's house for a while, mainly to instruct the people of the Military Control Commission to take good care of Wang Zhan's siblings. This was a mandatory task, and they also had to find someone to take care of them, and this person had to be reliable.

The military control committee member stood at attention and said firmly, "We will ensure that the mission is completed."

"By the way, Xiao Liu, if I'm busy or not here, you have to come here often to see these two brothers and sisters, okay?" Uncle Li turned around and said to the people accompanying him.

Xiao Liu also stood at attention, saluted, and said, "Got it. I promise to complete the task."

It was almost noon when Uncle Li took his people away. When he left, he took out a lot of food and dishes from the car and moved them to the kitchen.

Wang Zhan followed behind and kept saying, "Enough, enough, no need for so much, my sister and I can't eat so much." Uncle Li held Wang Zhan's hand and said, "For your parents, you have to take good care of your sister. You both have to thrive. When you grow up, you must become a pillar of society. Okay, no more words, don't mention your parents to anyone, and remember, I will come to see you when I have time."

After these people moved the things, they drove away. Wang Zhan held his sister and watched the car disappear at the end of the street. Sister Wang stayed and helped to organize the things in the kitchen. Wang Zhan was also busy there. Only Wang Li stood obediently at the kitchen door, her eyes never leaving her brother.

Sister Wang prepared lunch for them and ate with them. She told Wang Zhan to close the doors and windows, keep an eye on the stove, and open the window a crack at night, etc. Although Wang Zhan had heard many things from Aunt Li, he still listened very carefully. He felt that Aunt Wang was very kind and really cared about him and his sister.

After lunch, Sister Wang was going back to the Military Control Commission. After Sister Wang walked out of the yard, Wang Zhan closed the gate and took Wang Li to the backyard for a nap. This was also what his mother taught him. He didn't have the conditions before, but now that he has the conditions, he requires his sister to take a nap.

As soon as Sister Wang walked out of the door, she headed straight for the Military Control Commission. But before she had gone far, Yan Bugui suddenly appeared on the side of the road and reached out to stop Sister Wang. Sister Wang frowned and asked, "Why haven't you gone back yet?"

Yan Bugui really did not go back. This teacher was a very smart person. When he saw the car parked at the gate, he wanted to find out who was visiting the brother and sister, so he found a street corner and quietly stared at the car at the gate. When it was almost noon and everyone was moving so many things inside, Yan Bugui became a little excited and stood at the entrance of the alley more firmly waiting for Sister Wang.

Yan Bugui didn't tell the truth in front of Sister Wang, and said, "I'm visiting a student's parents. His family is also in this alley. I'm visiting his home. I just happened to run into you."

Sister Wang was skeptical, but still asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Yan Bugui immediately said seriously, "It's like this, Comrade Wang. Li Cuilan from our hospital, oh, yes, that's Yi Zhonghai's wife, didn't she quit her job as a child caregiver? You see, my wife is also idle at home, can you let her do this job? You see, my family has two children, so she is quite experienced in taking care of children."

Sister Wang looked at Yan Bugui and thought about the current situation of the brother and sister. She suddenly felt that Yan Bugui's wife was also a good candidate, so she said, "Well, I will discuss it with our company commander and let you know when the time comes."

Yan Bugui couldn't get an answer now, but he was not in a hurry, so he smiled and said, "Then I will go to the student's home to visit first. I will wait for your notice. Take care."

After Sister Wang left, Yan Bugui walked around Maoer Hutong, especially to Courtyard No. 41, which was Wang Zhan's home. He stood at the door and looked at it for a long time.

Wang Zhan is actually able to live independently, but he doesn’t know how to cook anything delicious for his sister. After wandering for so long, he can only make simple porridge and can’t even make steamed buns.

But Wang Zhan always tried to make some side dishes, simply stir-frying them and then adding salt. In just a few days, he learned how to fry eggs. Since he learned how to fry eggs, his sister started to eat eggs every day. Occasionally, there were ready-made pickles, and the brother and sister both thought they were delicious. Even so, his sister had no complaints at all and always said that her brother's cooking was the best.
