Siheyuan: The wife was intercepted after returning from the battlefield

Zhou Xiangqian arranged Lin Ping's affairs, and called Li Shengli over and said, "Shengli, I order you to keep silent about what happened today. You are not allowed to spread it outside."

Li Shengli understood what Zhou Xiangqian meant and said with a smile, "Director Zhou, I have already issued a gag order. No one should talk about this."

Zhou Xiangqian nodded and said, "That's good. Otherwise, if the news gets out, it will be difficult for us to transfer people."

Li Shengli asked, "So the people can't be transferred now?"

Zhou Xiangqian shook his head and said, "The old chief said that he had just taken office and it would be unpleasant to transfer people, so he asked me to turn the temporary position into a real one. In this way, he will also be a member of our branch. After some time, I can do it myself."

Li Shengli nodded and said, "Then we can't give Chief Lin the reward in public this time, otherwise it will attract the attention of other branches."

Zhou Xiangqian smiled and said, "That's right. Don't even tell your section chief about this. Just let us know."

Li Shengli saluted and said, "Yes, Chief."

Time quickly came to July of 1955. In the back room, Lin Xuan, who was already six years old, and He Yushui, who was already nine years old, were playing in the yard.

Wang Xiuzhi came out and said, "Xuanxuan, Yushui, I have boiled hawthorn for you in the house, go in and eat it quickly, otherwise your sister-in-law will eat it all."

Li Jingping gave birth to a big fat boy, which made Lin Shanhai, Wang Xiuzhi and Lin An very happy. Lin Shanhai named him Lin Jianshe and his nickname was Hutou.

When Lin Xuan heard that there was food to eat, she pulled He Yushui into the house. Wang Xiuzhi smiled, shook her head, and went out to buy food.

Wang Xiuzhi left the compound while greeting her neighbors along the way. When she was about to reach the market, she heard a noisy sound. She saw a group of people gathered in front of her, and there was also a voice of cursing from inside. The voice sounded very familiar, so she squeezed into the crowd to see what was going on.

When she came into the crowd, she saw Jia Zhang pointing at a mother and daughter who were sitting on the ground hugging each other and cursing at them, and kicking them from time to time.

Wang Xiuzhi looked at the mother and daughter. The woman was wearing ragged clothes and had a dirty, sallow face, which showed that she was malnourished. The girl in her arms was about four or five years old and was huddled in the woman's arms with a frightened look on her face. So she asked the people around her, "What happened?"

A kind-hearted woman sighed and said, "Oh, what a sin! They might be a mother and daughter who were begging for food at the market gate. They accidentally bumped into this woman, and she started to scold them relentlessly."

Wang Xiuzhi knew that Jia Zhangshi was unreasonable, but she didn't expect that she could bully others to this extent, so she walked over and pushed Jia Zhangshi away and said, "Jia Zhangshi, are you done yet? She just touched you accidentally, you just scolded her and let it go, why are you holding on to her?"

When Jia Zhang saw that it was Wang Xiuzhi, she said with a gloomy face: "I didn't scold you, it's none of your business."

Wang Xiuzhi was kindhearted to begin with, and couldn't stand being bullied like this, especially since she was at odds with Jia Zhangshi, so she sneered, "Why is it none of my business? If the road is uneven, everyone will step on it, but you can't bully others, don't you think?"

"That's right, this lady is too much. Killing is not enough. The mother and daughter are pitiful enough, but she still holds on to such a small matter. It's really not human. Bah!"

Under everyone's pointing and criticizing, Jia Zhang's voice became much quieter, but she was still unwilling to give in and said, "My new clothes were soiled by these two beggars. If you are kind-hearted, you can pay for them!"

Wang Xiuzhi took out a dime and threw it to Jia Zhangshi, saying, "Take the money and leave quickly."

When Jia Zhang saw the money, she immediately smiled, took the money, rolled her eyes, and went into the market with the basket. People all blamed Jia Zhang, but did Jia Zhang care? Of course she didn't care. As long as she had money, what did it matter if she was criticized a few times?

Wang Xiuzhi walked up to the mother and daughter and was about to say a few words of comfort, when she saw the woman staring at her in a daze. After a long while, she said in a hoarse and trembling voice, "Mom, is that you?"

There was a loud bang and a sound exploded in her head. Wang Xiuzhi's body swayed. The image of a little girl of four or five years old surrounding her and calling her mother kept replaying in front of her eyes.

The Lin family did not originally live in the courtyard house, and Lin Shanhai and Wang Xiuzhi's first child was a girl, only three years older than Lin Dong and five years older than Lin Ping. Because she was young and a girl, she was given a nickname called Daya. Later, she was abducted by human traffickers. It was because of this incident that Lin Shanhai and his wife moved out of the courtyard to avoid hurting others.

Hearing the word "Mom" Wang Xiuzhi immediately squatted down, helped the woman up and looked at her carefully. Although the woman's face was dirty, she still had the shadow of her daughter when she was a child. She burst into tears and asked in a trembling voice: "You...you are my Daya?"

The woman hugged her daughter, her eyes reddened and she nodded heavily, choking with sobs: "Mom...! I am Daya, I finally found you, wuwu..."

Wang Xiuzhi was overwhelmed with grief when she saw her daughter in tears. She hugged her lost and found daughter tightly in her arms and burst into tears. The little girl in her arms also cried because of the pain from being squeezed.

After crying for a long time, Wang Xiuzhi wiped her tears and pulled her daughter and granddaughter up and said excitedly: "Come on, go home with mom. We can talk about anything when we get home."

Siheyuan.

Auntie San saw Wang Xiuzhi entering the yard with a pair of beggars and asked curiously, "Xiuzhi, what are you doing?"

Wang Xiuzhi said with red eyes: "Aunt San, these are my eldest daughter and granddaughter. Let's go home first and we'll talk later. By the way, ask your Yan Jiefang to go to the steel mill to call back my Shanhai and An Zipingzi and tell them that my eldest daughter and her elder sister are back."

Auntie San was startled when she heard this, but she still asked Yan Jiefang to go to the steel mill. Looking at the three people's backs, she muttered, "When did the Lin family have a daughter? It seems that she is not doing well."

Steel rolling mill.

After Lin Shanhai, Lin An and Lin Ping received the news, they rushed home. On the way, Lin An asked, "Dad, when did we have an older sister? Why haven't you mentioned her in all these years?"

Lin Shanhai was so excited that his eyes turned red. He said in a trembling voice, "Before you, your mother and I gave birth to your eldest sister, but she was abducted by human traffickers when she was five years old. In order not to remind you of her, your mother and I moved to where we live now with Anzi, who was less than two years old. Later, in order not to make your mother sad, our family never mentioned your eldest sister again. Okay, don't ask anymore. Let's talk about it when we get home." After saying that, he quickened his pace.

The three of them hurried home. As soon as they entered the door, they saw Wang Xiuzhi holding a four or five-year-old girl in her arms and crying to a woman. Li Jing also had red eyes and was holding her son to comfort him.

When Lin Shanhai saw the woman, his body swayed. Lin Ping quickly supported Lin Shanhai. Lin Shanhai stretched out his hand and asked in a trembling voice, "Are you my Daya?" After saying that, he burst into tears.

The woman stood up and rushed to Lin Shanhai, hugged Lin Shanhai and cried, "Dad, I am your Daya, I am back, woo woo..."

Lin Shanhai, a grown man, also burst into tears at this time and hugged his daughter tightly, unwilling to let go.

Seeing his father and elder sister crying so sadly, Lin Ping's eyes turned red, but he still advised: "Mom and Dad, don't cry yet. Let the elder sister and the little niece wash up, change into clean clothes and eat something. We can talk slowly if we have anything to say."

Wang Xiuzhi also came back to her senses and nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, Pingzi is right, Daya and her daughter must still be hungry."

As she spoke, she hurried to the kitchen, and Li Jing led Daya and her daughter to the inner room, and got Wang Xiuzhi and Lin Xuan's clothes for them to change into.

After washing, Lin Daya's true appearance was revealed. She was indeed very similar to Lin An and Lin Ping. One could tell at first glance that they were a family, especially Wang Xiuzhi.

Looking at the mother and daughter wolfing down the food, the whole family had red eyes, especially Daya's child, who seemed to have eye problems. Daya ate while taking care of her daughter.

After the mother and daughter finished their meal, the little girl fell into a deep sleep, probably because she was tired. Little girl Lin Xuan was also very quiet today, which was very different from her usual lively personality.
