Siheyuan, my new life

After lunch, Liu Yan washed the little girl's greasy hands and face and prepared to leave. After all, in her eyes, these three were powerful figures who must have a lot of work to deal with. It was good enough that they could treat her and her daughter to such a sumptuous meal in their busy schedule.

Lin Yu smiled and waved his hand, motioning her to sit down first, because what they were going to discuss next was related to Liu Yan herself, and he needed to hear her own opinion.

Liu Yan hugged her daughter and sat on the chair with some confusion, silently staring at the cloth shoes on her feet that had a hole in them.

Lin Yu took out a box of Camel cigarettes and threw one to each of Commander Han and Political Commissar Zhao. There was no ban on smoking in front of women and children. Although the government has repeatedly emphasized that women hold up half the sky, the old custom of favoring boys over girls is deeply rooted and cannot be completely changed overnight. Lin Yu could only adapt to the local customs. Even if he didn't take out a cigarette, Commander Han and Political Commissar Zhao would pass him a cigarette.

Just as Lin Yu took out the Zippo lighter and lit a cigarette, he saw Commander Han staring at the silver lighter in his hand with burning eyes. He said helplessly: "Okay, stop talking. I'll give it to you. You have a really thick skin." Then he threw the lighter to the other party.

Commander Han took the lighter and said cheerfully: "I noticed that your lighter is different from the one you gave me before, so I just wanted to take it over to have a look. I didn't expect you to be so generous. Hehe, I won't be polite then."

Political Commissar Zhao glared at his old partner and said, "You still know how to write the word polite? I heard my old comrade-in-arms say that this silver lighter is a special supply for officers above the rank of colonel in Bald Eagle."

Commander Han laughed and said, "Today we are fighting against the local tyrants and dividing the land. Don't accuse me of being stingy. I will give you my lighter."

Lin Yu didn't want to chat with this guy, so he smiled and asked: "Comrade Liu Yan, what are your plans for the future?"

Liu Yan raised her head, shook her head in confusion and said, "What other plans do I have? This time, as long as I can prove Dashan's status as a martyr and arrest those troublemakers in the Wei family, I will be satisfied. From now on, I will think about raising my daughter well and taking good care of my parents in Liujia Village. Although I have a younger brother, he is only fifteen and is in junior high school. He can't help the family at all. I can also help my parents plant the land."

Looking at the simple and kind-hearted woman in front of him, Lin Yu secretly sighed that this era is still good. It is a generation that has not been influenced by money and various unhealthy trends. Although the living environment cannot be compared with that of later generations, the human nature alone is far ahead of later generations.

But now is not the time to sigh about life. Lin Yu sighed softly: "You may not know that the martyr Wei Dashan was seriously injured just to save me, and later died. Therefore, I owe Wei Dashan a life, so you can ask for anything. As long as I can do it, I will never refuse."

Liu Yan's eyes were red, and she choked up and said, "After Dashan was injured, he wrote me a letter. He told me how he was injured and that he blocked a bullet for the hero in his mind. He never regretted his actions at the time because he believed that even if it was any other cadre or soldier from the Pioneer Battalion, they would risk their lives to block bullets for the battalion commander under the circumstances. Dashan said in the letter that you led the cadres and soldiers of the Pioneer Battalion to win many battles. You were the first to charge in every battle, and you saved Dashan twice. So please don't say that you owe Dashan a life. Dashan said that you are comrades-in-arms and can block bullets for each other."

Lin Yu looked a little excited, and he opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.

Commander Han said in a serious tone: "Lin Yu, we are all revolutionary soldiers. For the country and the people, none of us are afraid of sacrifice. In the process of realizing our dreams, many comrades fell on the battlefield. We who are still alive, in addition to working hard to do our jobs, must also try our best to take care of the families of those fallen comrades. So you don't have to blame yourself too much. I believe that martyr Wei Dashan would not want to see you like this if he knew about it."

Lin Yu nodded heavily: "Comrade Liu Yan, I just accepted the organization's arrangement last month and left the sanatorium to resume work. Commander Han and Political Commissar Zhao also know that due to special reasons, I have a lot of things to do there and I can't get away for a while, but I think of the agreement made by our comrades in the Pioneer Camp that no matter who survives, we will try our best to take care of the families of those comrades who died. I can't visit and comfort the families of those comrades who died in person, so I arranged for people to visit the 157 martyrs who died in the Pioneer Camp in Hebei Province, Sichuan Province and Shandong Province."

At this point, Lin Yu stood up and walked to the window to look at the sky outside, and continued: "I arranged for the comrades in charge of visiting the fallen comrades in Shandong Province to go to Weijia Village, Shangshui Township, Guyang County. They learned a little about what happened to the martyr Wei Dashan's home from the militia standing guard at the entrance of the village. In their mouths, the martyr Wei Dashan became a missing person, and they also slandered that the martyr Wei Dashan was captured by a bald eagle. After realizing that something was wrong, the two comrades did not enter Weijia Village again, nor did they immediately go to Liu's house. Instead of going to the village to look for the widow of martyr Wei Dashan, they drove away directly and sneaked into Weijiazhuang that night for a private investigation. They found that Wei Wanfu, the director of the Weijiazhuang Cooperative, not only slandered martyr Wei Dashan and spread rumors in the village, but was also suspected of embezzling martyr Wei Dashan's pension and shielding his son Wei Hu from beating and killing martyr Wei Dashan's father. At the same time, after multiple visits and investigations, they found that the matter also involved Wei Wanfu's third brother Wei Wanxi, who was the head of the Shangshui Township Government, and his deputy in the Guyang County People's Armed Forces Department. The minister's second brother, Wei Wanlu, immediately returned to Beijing to report to me. I personally compiled the investigation report and had it delivered to the Beijing People's Armed Forces Department and the military. I originally hoped that the military and the People's Armed Forces Department would jointly resolve the matter. According to my analysis, this is by no means an isolated case, and it is most likely related to the Shandong Provincial People's Armed Forces Department. Therefore, I wanted to use this case to attract the attention of my superiors and conduct a nationwide investigation. After receiving the report, Military Commission Commissioner Qiao immediately ordered the military discipline department to form an investigation team to rush to Shandong Province as soon as possible to thoroughly investigate the matter; however, a major leader of the Beijing People's Armed Forces Department said that the matter would be handed over to the Shandong Provincial People's Armed Forces Department for investigation and handling. After receiving the report, I was very disappointed with the Beijing People's Armed Forces Department's approach. If this case is handed over to the Shandong Provincial People's Armed Forces Department for investigation, it is estimated that the result will be to deal with the three brothers of the Guyang Wei family and to provide certain financial compensation to the family of the martyr Wei Dashan. I directly asked Director Wan of the Beijing Public Security Bureau for leave and came here in person. I would like to see what the final result of this matter is. "
