Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 955 Return to Baotou
Inside the tent, people were chatting and drinking milk tea. At this time, Doma's two sisters came in with Wang Li. The three of them greeted the adults first, and then Wang Li ran to her brother. Wang Zhan then discovered that there was a red puppy in Wang Li's arms. Wang Zhan turned around and asked, "Is this just a little Tibetan mastiff?"

Doma chuckled and said, "You people from the north all know only Tibetan mastiffs, isn't this right?"

Wang Zhan took the puppy from Wang Li's arms and looked at it carefully. Uncle Burigude laughed and said, "This is a Mongolian Mastiff cub. It was born the day before yesterday. There are three puppies in total. This one is reddish brown, and the other two are black. Your sister has good taste."

Duomi and Sandan lowered their heads guiltily and kept drinking milk tea without saying a word. Wang Li looked at the two young ladies, then ran to Sandan with a tea bowl and started muttering to herself.

It's been the eighth day since I got out. I don't know if Director Li and Brother Wang have made arrangements over there. Wang Zhan tries his best not to think about the things in Sijiu City. He feels it's unnecessary. If they play too much in the end, those people will be the ones who suffer. Do they really think that now is the same as the old society?

In the following days, Wang Zhan took Wang Li for a stroll, but they did not go far for fixed things. They ate three meals a day with Ajima. Ajima knew that the brother and sister were not trying to save money, but just wanted to spend more time with the old man.

Aijima was particularly fond of Wang Li. She liked to hold Wang Li's hand whenever she had nothing to do and chat with people under the big poplar tree at the entrance of the village. Wang Li was also very well-behaved and joked with the old men and women.

Wang Zhan went hunting alone with Burigude. They went to the Yellow River, to Wulansu, and wandered around everywhere. However, Wang Zhan couldn't let go of Burigude's ancestral bow and arrows. Burigude could see clearly what Wang Zhan was thinking, but he pretended not to see it.

Wang Zhan and his sister stayed in Jinqi Village for a total of five days. They rode horses and hunted everywhere with bows and arrows. Wang Li also had a lot of fun. Most of the time she was not with Wang Zhan, but played with Duomi and Sandan. The three girls formed a deep friendship.

Now Wang Li is not limited to riding a pony, but has also started to ride some horses around two years old that have strong legs. This is all thanks to the two little sisters. When packing up, Grandma Ajima held Wang Zhan's hand and talked to him for half the night.

The old lady really liked the brother and sister, and the brother and sister really regarded Aijima as their own grandmother. Wang Zhan said, "Yiji, when I finish my work during this period and settle down in Sijiu City, I will come back to pick you up. You can't refuse to go. We brothers and sisters will stay there and live a good life with you, okay?"

Aijima hesitated about this question. She was reluctant to leave her grassland, but she also yearned for the holy land of Sijiu City. After thinking for a while, she said, "Let's talk about it later, okay, grandson? I treat you as my own child. Don't force me to make a choice. After all, this place is where I was born and raised."

Wang Zhan nodded and said, "Grandma, I know. I don't have to let you go there. I just want to live with you. Please wait until I come back."

July 29th is the first day of the fifth lunar month.

Wang Zhan and his sister traveled lightly, bringing nothing with them except a large bag. They rode Hass's chestnut horse and galloped towards Baotou.

This time, because the road was familiar and the horses were obedient, it only took half a day to reach the door of Has's mutton restaurant.

He got off his horse and called out, "Is Boss Haas here?"

Haas ran out and saw a familiar and angry face. Haas understood that this little Wang Zhan had now reacted and was angry with him.

Haas has been in the business for many years, and he immediately greeted them warmly. He first used the towel around his neck to wipe off the non-existent dust on Wang Zhan's body, then took Wang Zhan's bag and took the brother and sister back into the store.

As soon as he entered the store, he shouted, "Second brother, go to the opposite side and book a single room. Tell them that I booked it and you'll check in tonight." At this time, a young man rushed out of the kitchen and ran to the opposite side. Wang Zhan was stunned when he saw him and asked, "You found a new assistant in just a few days. Why didn't you find one before?"

Haas smiled and said, "Before, my comrades didn't beg me, and I had no choice. You don't know that people who come back from the battlefield have hard personalities."

Wang Zhan looked at Haas and said, "I didn't realize that. By the way, your friend Bayinbatu wrote you a letter. It's here with me. Do you want it?"

Haas was stunned, looking at the child he thought was very innocent, and asked, "Why are there any conditions?"

Wang Zhan curled his lips and smiled, "I didn't have it before, but I got it as soon as I saw Bayinbatu. Do you want to hear it?"

Haas lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "This damn Bayinbatu is still so careless. Okay, you tell me."

"It's a piece of cake for you. Help me book two train tickets, one from Baotou to Datong, and one from Datong to Baoji. This is not a transaction, but my personal request." Wang Zhan said.

After listening to this, Haas laughed and said, "You are praying to the Buddha. I would hesitate for a while on other matters, but this is it. Okay, wait, I will arrange the train ticket for you tomorrow, but you should know that it is a hard seat, only a hard seat. The sleeper needs a cadre certificate, I really can't do anything about it."

Wang Zhan didn't even have his meal at Haas's place. After getting what he wanted, he turned around and went to the guesthouse across the street.

In the evening, Wang Zhan took Wang Li for a walk on the streets of Baotou. Wang Li came to the conclusion that if the coal slag on the streets were collected, it would be enough for their family to burn coal for a whole winter. Wang Zhan was very happy to get such a conclusion, and took his sister to have a meal in the public canteen.

The public canteen, its name means the dishes it serves, which is just a big stew, and the staple food is porridge and steamed buns made from three-grain flour.

A big stew is a mixture of many vegetables, including meat and soy products. But when it is served, you can see whether there is meat or tofu. Yes, but only a pitiful amount.

After having a bite, the brother and sister returned to the guesthouse. The next day, they went to the mutton restaurant to get their tickets and left. They checked out in the afternoon and went directly to the train station. This time they did not receive the same preferential treatment as last time. They just sat in ordinary hard seats, in carriage seven, seats 11 and 12. Fortunately, seat 11 was close to the window.

Wang Zhan asked his sister to sit in seat 11 near the window, and he sat in seat 12 near the aisle.

The car stopped for more than half an hour before it slowly started to move. It seemed that it was about to depart. At this time, a man wearing a military cap, blue pants, and a military green shirt walked into carriage seven with a cigarette in his mouth.

Wang Zhan took a look and knew that this was a Buddha, and a top Buddha trained in the gang. Wang Zhan adhered to the principle of not offending others unless they offended me, so he pretended not to see him and closed his eyes.
