"I'm sorry, I'm going too fast. Are you okay?" Zhou Hao was used to walking briskly in the army, and he was distracted along the way, and he didn't notice that he bumped into someone.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the other party say why it was him again, as soon as these words entered his ears, Zhou Hao took a closer look at the other party, and sure enough, it was the girl he bumped into last time.

"Hey, what a coincidence, why did I bump into you again. Zhou Hao grinned, he was still struggling with what excuse to see Chen Xin, didn't he bump into him?

"Count me unlucky, okay, okay, let me go, I'm going to buy something. If you delay any longer, the fat son should wake up, Chen Xin didn't care about talking to this person, so she bypassed the other party and trotted towards the street.

Originally, she made it for Zhang Zhang to eat in the morning, but it happened that the rice ran out last night, and the surrounding grain and oil stores were also closed, so she had no choice but to buy vegetable porridge and bean buns from the fat aunt's house early in the morning.

Next door to the fat aunt's house is a grain and oil store, the owner is the fat aunt's brother-in-law, who is usually very good to people, Chen Xin plans to tell him to send some rice and flour oil to the house.

After walking a few steps, Chen Xin turned around, and the guy who hit her was still following her.

"What are you going to do?" Chen Xin took a step back and looked at the other party vigilantly.

"Don't be nervous, I'm a new officer from the military region, and I want to come to you to find out about the situation. The other party also took a step back and took out his documents from his pocket.

There were two male classmates passing by, and when they saw Chen Xin's appearance, they also stood still vigilantly, and saw that the other party took out a document and came out, one of the larger ones asked Chen Xin not to go up, he went over and took the other party's document and glanced at it, and then handed it to Chen Xin.

Chen Xin has seen the military ID, of course, even if the other party fakes it, she can't see it at this time. However, she can ask Secretary Jiang.

After receiving Chen Xin's call, he checked the ID number and name on the officer's ID, and said to Chen Xin with a smile: "This person is from our military region, a newly assigned officer, who is responsible for registering and verifying the information of the military martyrs' families, and it is estimated that he went to you directly according to the file, you can trust him." ”

Of course, Officer Jiang also said that if you don't want to have private contact with the other party, you can make an appointment with him to come to the military region to register and take pictures. This is the verification stage before the implementation of the new welfare policy for military martyrs' families, and it is best to register early so that Zhang Zhang's living allowance can be received as soon as possible.

With Officer Jiang's guarantee, Chen Xin let down half of his vigilance, and the other half was still vigilant. She had met this person before, and the other party didn't report to her home at the time, and now she made a special trip to find him, and she always felt that the other party didn't seem to come here just for registration.

After buying breakfast quickly, Chen Xin hesitated for a moment, but still let the man follow him into the house, but he was very vigilant and did not close the door.

After she entered the house, she put breakfast on the table in the yard, beckoned Zhou Hao to sit down first, and then rushed into the house, sure enough, Zhang Zhang had woken up, put on a sweater by himself, and nested in the quilt to play tangram.

The padded jacket was too thick, Zhang Zhang was a little meaty, and he couldn't put on cotton clothes and pants for himself. When Chen Xin dressed him properly, he ran to the yard to eat, and as soon as he went out, he saw Zhou Hao, and the little fat man was lying on the threshold looking at each other.

"Is it Zhang Zhang?"

"Uncle, how do you know my name? I haven't even seen you. ”

Zhang Zhang can't say that he is self-cooked, but he is not afraid of being born, this is in his house again, and he greeted Zhou Hao very generously.

Chen Xin came out with hot water to brush his teeth and wash his face, and smeared incense, and finally pouted his face for a moment before letting him sit and eat breakfast.

The porridge that came back was packed in a thermos pot, and when Chen Xin washed Zhang Zhang's face, Zhou Hao had already helped Zhang Zhang quickly scoop the rice, and the bean buns were also put in a small plate.

Zhang Zhang's meal was in a special small bamboo chair, with a tray shelf made of bamboo in front, and after he sat down, Chen Xin stuck the specially customized tray, which was Zhang Zhang's small dining table. He sat down by himself and set out dishes and wooden spoons in front of him, and ate by himself, even if it was dirty.

Zhang Zhang naturally loves cleanliness, eats very carefully, tries not to dirty himself, and occasionally shakes his hands on the table, he will gently wipe them off with a small handkerchief.

"The little one looks good and has good habits. Zhou Hao observed for a while, then turned his head to Chen Xin and smiled, "Before I came, I was worried that you would be very annoyed if you were alone with the child, but now it seems that I am too worried." ”

Zhou Hao had already eaten before he came, and he was sitting there watching his aunt and nephew eat breakfast.

At this time, Zhou Hao also told Chen Xin the purpose of his visit.

"The state wants to give better living security to the widows and nieces of military martyrs, especially those like Zhang Zhang, whose parents are not there, in addition to the state subsidy, our military region has a special fund, which is only for the orphans of military martyrs, if you don't mind, I want to make an application for Zhang Zhang. ”

Zhou Hao came here last time to find out in private, but Chen Xin's vigilance was very high, and his plan did not succeed. This time, he came directly to her openly, and he didn't believe that Chen Xin still regarded him as a thief.

Chen Xin didn't continue to treat him as a thief, but her senses for him were not too good. Of course, she is very grateful that the other party can think of Zhang Zhang, but again, she doesn't want Zhang Zhang to be labeled as pitiful. Zhang Zhang's little fat man has an aunt like her, as well as his grandparents and aunts who love him, which is not pitiful.

"Take the state subsidy that should be taken, as for the fund you mentioned, I don't think it's necessary. I can still guarantee Zhang Zhang's life, and our family is not bad, and this money is better for those who need it more. ”

Chen Xin is not familiar with the situation of the military region, but she has the impression that the military region does not have its own fund, and it is more likely that a certain enterprise or institution has set up a special foundation for the families of military martyrs, but this is a charity for commercial operations, not money provided by the military region.

Zhou Hao wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say anything, only nodded and promised to submit Chen Xin's opinion. He had also visited some people before, and had a little understanding of the situation of Chen Xin and Zhang Zhang, among which everyone admired Chen Xin's ability, a girl who was still in college, took on the responsibility of raising and taking care of her nephew, not only did not let her life fall into chaos, but also got better and better. This is stronger than many adults.

Zhou Hao also did similar work in his previous unit, and visited many families of military martyrs. Half or even more than half of the widows of military martyrs have formed other families and brought their minor children with them to raise, but some of them have directly left their children to be raised by the elderly parents of their deceased spouses, and some even more infuriating behaviors are to leave the children alone and provide only basic living expenses every month.

They have no position to blame these people, after all, everyone has to live, and the other party has just chosen a lifestyle that is better for them. But for them, this practice is too chilling, if it is not because the children are related by blood and do not meet the policy of sending to welfare homes, they all feel that even sending them to welfare homes is better than living a lonely life like this.
