The tall girl had a pretty face, but was very thin. She wore a loose coarse shirt, which made her look even thinner.

She said to Yan Fugui anxiously, "Uncle, I remember it clearly. It's here, No. 95 Nanluoguxiang."

The younger girl's forehead was soaked with sweat, and there was a hint of fear in her big eyes.

"Grandpa, my cousin really lives here."

"My dad asked us to come to him before he died."

Yan Fugui said with a half-smile: "What's your cousin's name?"

"If the numbers don't match, I can't let you in."

The tall girl said hurriedly: "My dad said his name is Han Weimin."

The short girl added, "Yes, that's the name."

"My father said that he is capable now and has become a doctor."

"Let us come to him and obey his will."

When Yan Fugui heard this, he immediately frowned.

"You mean him?"

"I know he's there."

"How about this, you give me ten cents and I'll lead you there. I promise to bring you to him safely."

"If you don't know the way, I can't let you in."

"Every household in this house has its doors unlocked. If you go in and steal something from someone else, they will come after me."

When she heard that she had to give a dime, the tall girl bit her lip, but finally took out a crumpled dime from her pocket and handed it to Yan Fugui.

"Master, I'll have to trouble you to show me the way."

Yan Fugui happily went to take the girl's money.

however.

A loud dry cough in the distance made Yan Fugui shudder.

Han Weimin's reputation in the courtyard was so great that these beasts had long been terrified of him.

So, when Yan Fugui heard Han Weimin's voice, he was like a mouse seeing a cat.

He turned his head and saw Han Weimin, and couldn't help but shrink his neck and smile apologetically.

"Hey, Weimin."

"I was just about to go look for you."

When they heard the word Wei Min, the two girls stared at the person who came in a daze.

Seeing this handsome young man, the two girls were a little excited, and even their eyes were a little red.

Han Weimin smiled and said to Yan Fugui: "Yan Fugui, you even cheated children out of their money?"

"You are really promising."

"Do you believe me? I'll report this to your school."

"Anyway, I'm pretty familiar with your school's principal, teachers, and so on."

Yan Fugui's heart trembled when he heard this.

He hastily smiled and said, "Don't worry, we are all neighbors."

"I was just joking with the kids."

"My family doesn't need this dime."

"I will definitely return the ten cents to the children when I find you later."

Han Weimin sneered and snatched the dime from Yan Fugui.

Then, amid Yan Fugui's awkward laughter, Han Weimin handed a dime to the tall girl.

Unexpectedly, the girl burst into tears.

"Cousin, I'm Yu Hongfang."

"This is my sister Yu Hongyan."

"My father was killed in the food factory explosion."

"My father was dying and asked us to come to you."

Han Weimin was stunned and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

He has been an orphan since he came here, and has never heard of any distant relatives.

I didn't expect that two cousins ​​would suddenly appear out of nowhere.

Han Weimin didn't want Yan Fugui to stand aside and watch the joke, so he asked Yu Hongfang and Yu Hongyan to go home with him first.

When I get home, I'll talk about this matter in detail.

Seeing that there was no more fun to watch, Yan Fugui smiled sullenly and went home.

Han Weimin brought his two step-cousins ​​back home.

Han family.

Han Weimin poured a glass of water for each of the two girls.

Only then did he begin to ask carefully.

There are two more relatives here for no reason, I have to find out everything.

According to Yu Hongfang's story, it turned out that her mother and her mother were sisters, but their relationship deteriorated later, to the point where they no longer had any contact with each other.

The reason was that his mother disliked his sister for falling in love with a disabled man with leg problems and strongly opposed the marriage.

But her aunt, Yu Hongfang's mother, was so in love that she was determined not to marry anyone else but this man.

Because his uncle was a soldier, and the injury was sustained on the battlefield.

In that era, girls preferred weapons to red dresses and admired soldiers very much.

But her mother considered her sister's future and tried to persuade her again and again.

But as an aunt, I still insist on my own way.

The angry mother directly threatened that the two families would cut off relations after the marriage.

After that, Han Weimin's parents both died of illness.

Coincidentally, my aunt also passed away due to illness not long afterward.

Only a disabled uncle was left to support his two daughters.

Because my uncle was a soldier, he was assigned to a food factory, but because of his disability, he could only work as a security guard in the mail room.

And be a security guard at the same time.

The income is not that high.

He originally wanted to ask Han Weimin to take care of him, but his own life was not going well. If he rashly took Han Weimin over, he was worried that it would backfire.

So I can only drag it on.

however.

Just a few days ago, the food factory was attacked by enemy agents.

In order to save public property, my uncle went to the warehouse alone to rescue supplies.

Unfortunately, he was injured by a bomb planted by enemy agents and suffered extensive burns all over his body.

After being sent to the hospital and rescued for a day and a night, the patient could not be saved and eventually passed away.

On his deathbed, the uncle told the two sisters to go find Han Weimin.

In fact, some time ago, he heard people say that Han Weimin had arrived in Sijiu City and became a doctor.

This made it even more difficult for him to come over and recognize him.

He was also afraid of being criticized, saying that he didn't recognize him when he was poor, but now he is trying to climb up the social ladder after becoming a factory doctor.

however.

When he was dying, he had no other choice but to let his two helpless daughters come to Han Weimin for help.

After hearing this story, Han Weimin was also deeply moved.

The grievances of the older generation affected the relationship between the two families, causing the relatives to become unfamiliar.

Yu Hongfang wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, took out 500 yuan from her pocket and handed it to Han Weimin.

"Cousin, this is the pension given by the food factory."

"It's five hundred in total."

"My dad told us to give the money to you for safekeeping after we find you."

"We are worried that we won't be able to hold onto the money. If we lose it, it will be troublesome."

Han Weimin was stunned and thought to himself that this uncle really trusted him.

Such a large sum of money was handed directly to me.

However, he thought that those who were willing to sacrifice their lives for the country were not bad people by nature.

I think the reason why I didn't move to the city was that I had no other choice.

Han Weimin did not refuse and decisively took the five hundred yuan handed over by Yu Hongfang.

After figuring out the situation, he confirmed that Yu Hongfang and Yu Hongyan were his cousins.

"Are you two in school now?"

Han Weimin asked the two girls.

Yu Hongfang said: "I am already in the second grade of junior high school, and my sister is in the third grade."

Han Weimin nodded.

I also asked about the housing situation.

It turned out that my uncle's family was squeezed into a small two-bedroom bungalow. The two girls lived in one room, and the other room served as my uncle's bedroom, kitchen, dining room, living room, etc.

The house where Han Weimin lives now is a large wing facing north and south.

Although it is also a two-room apartment with a large compartment inside, the interior space is very large.

It’s more than 80 square meters.

This was a very spacious house in that era.

After all, this is the house that Director Yang has his eyes on, so it naturally cannot be small.

"Hongfang, you and Hongyan can come and live here from now on."

"This way it will be easier for me to take care of you."

"I will transfer you to another school as soon as possible. You can go to the school for children of the steel mill."

"The school for children of steel mills has sufficient funds and employs teachers of much higher quality."

"It's much better than the school you went to before."

The two girls cried with joy.

"Thank you, cousin."

Since their father passed away, the two girls have completely lost their backbone. They seem very confused and full of pessimism about the future.

Han Weimin's series of arrangements rekindled their hope in life.

"Hongfang, fetch a basin of water and wash your face with your sister."

"Cousin will cook for you."

Yu Hongfang quickly stood up and said, "Cousin, let me do it."

“I’m the one who cooks at home too.”

"My dad has to go to work and can't take care of it."

Han Weimin saw Yu Hongfang's small hands, which looked very rough, with thick calluses on the palms.

Obviously, this little girl has done a lot of hard work at home.

"When I'm not at home, you'll have to do the housework."

"But you should take a rest today."

"Leave it to me."

Yu Hongfang felt warm in her heart.

"Well, thank you cousin."

Yu Hongyan also said crisply: "Thank you, cousin."

Han Weimin raised the corners of his mouth and smiled knowingly.

These two children have not yet experienced the intrigues of adults and are still very pure and kind, and I can still shape them.

If they were like Bang Geng, Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu and the like in the yard, they would have been led astray long ago and could never be straightened out.

I won't take over these two children.

Yu Hongfang took the enamel washbasin and went to the tap outside to fetch water.

The faucet is in a sink in the middle yard and the back yard.

Only the front yard had no sink.

Yu Hongfang went to fetch water and ran into the second aunt who was also fetching water.

The second aunt looked at Yu Hongfang curiously.

After all, Yu Hongfang was just a little girl, and she was new to the courtyard, and seemed quite unfamiliar, so she quickly asked the second aunt to get the water first.

The second aunt was not humble either and started to take the water with a smile.

She smiled and asked Hongfang, "Girl, where are you from?"

"Are they relatives?"

"I haven't seen you in the courtyard."

Yu Hongfang said honestly: "I am Han Weimin's cousin, and I will live in his house from now on."

When the second aunt heard this, her eyes lit up.

It was as if he had discovered some big news and he couldn't hide his joy.

These days, people generally lack entertainment.

This kind of gossip is their best entertainment news.

After the second aunt got the water, she smiled and called Yu Hongfang to come over to get some water, and then she happily returned to the house.

Han Weimin took out two pounds of pork from Linglong Fudi and cut it slowly on the chopping board with a kitchen knife.

My ears were listening to the noise in the backyard.

Of course, he heard the conversation between his cousin and the second aunt just now.

He knew that within two hours, the news that his cousin was living in his house would spread throughout the courtyard.

After washing their hands and faces, Yu Hongfang and Yu Hongyan came over obediently to help Han Weimin.

Children living under someone else's roof always seem to be particularly sensible.

Han Weimin also understands their inner sensitivity.

Nor did they ask them to sit quietly and ignore everything.

Instead, let them participate and cook with you.

This way, the two girls will feel more confident and at ease.

When the two girls saw the meat that Han Weimin had cut, their eyes lit up.

Yu Hongyan swallowed and said, "Cousin, we haven't eaten meat for a long time."

Yu Hongfang pulled Yu Hongyan's dirty clothes from behind and kept winking at her, asking her not to say anything to avoid embarrassing herself.

Han Weimin smiled and said, "It's okay. You can live with your cousin from now on. He will let you eat meat every day."

The two girls were shocked.

Yu Hongyan exclaimed: "Cousin, is it true?"

"I'm not dreaming."

Yu Hongfang also widened her eyes.

She thought that her father was also a formal employee, but he might not be able to buy meat for them once a month.

My cousin is at most a formal worker, and he is so young, his length of service must not be long, and his salary is not that high.

But she didn't dare say these words out loud and could only think about them in her heart.

Han Weimin smiled and said, "You will know later."

Not long after.

A pot of rice porridge is ready.

There were also four large white steamed buns heating up in the pot.

These big steamed buns weigh more than three taels each and are very filling.

The two girls were very surprised to see the big white steamed buns and rice porridge.

The food here is much better than what they have at home.

Before, the best food they had was Erhe noodles.

The most common food is corn, and rice is rarely eaten.

The per-acre yield of corn is very high, so during difficult times in the country, corn was used as the staple food in many places.

Rice and wheat have become auxiliary.

After the rice porridge and white flour buns were served, Han Weimin brought three meat dishes to the table.

A dish of braised pork with good color, aroma and taste.

The fat and red meat complement each other, making the meat look extra soft, sticky and refreshing.

The bursts of fragrance rushed straight into their noses, causing Yu Hongfang and Yu Hongyan to swallow their saliva unconsciously.

Then, a dish of twice-cooked pork with potatoes with a modern flavor was served.

As a time traveler, Han Weimin always unconsciously presents the taste of his previous life on the table.

The last dish is stir-fried pork.

This is a very authentic Hunan dish, which is widely popular in the Hunan area.

Three meat dishes were served at once, and Yu Hongfang and Yu Hongyan's eyes were wide open.

Han Weimin couldn't help but smile when he saw the two people's dazed looks.

"What are you doing? Eat quickly."

At Han Weimin's urging, the two girls picked up their chopsticks, carefully picked up a piece of meat and put it into their mouths.

They chewed their food very carefully, and although they hadn't eaten meat for a long time, they didn't behave disrespectfully by wolfing it down.

After taking a bite, Yu Hongfang said in surprise: "Cousin, this is so delicious."

“I feel like I have goose bumps all over my face.”
