Chapter Ninety-Three: A Little Wish (II)
The car got off the highway from Baoding, and then went straight to Anxin County, Chen Shu had already made plans, and now it was just time to go to work, and whether it could be completed was completely by trying his luck.
After arriving in the county seat, I first found a relatively good hotel to settle down, and then asked the locals about the location of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the family drove to start the search.
Since entering the boundary of Anxin County, Xiaofei has not been born in Anxin, and has been looking around. Patches of reeds, large lotus leaves, and pink lotus flowers dotted on it. The rippling blue water shatters the reflected sunlight, and you can see a golden light.
This is not only attracting Xiaofei, Wang Zilan's attention is even gradually attracted by the scenery on the side of the road. At this time, because all she saw were private houses and small buildings in the city, Xiaofei felt that there was nothing new, and obediently got into Wang Zilan's arms.
When the car drove into the government compound, it was registered with the guards. Before coming out, Chen Shu had thought about many things, so he kept his ID card and business card with him at all times.
"Hello! My grandfather is a veteran of the Anti-Japanese War, and now that he is old, he often thinks of the days when he used to fight in Baiyangdian. This is my ID card, and this is my business card. I don't know what procedures are required to find out the list of surviving veterans who participated in the Anti-Japanese War. ”
"Chen Shu, general manager of Tangshan Rongwei Iron and Steel and Tangshan Rongwei Industry, there are not many young people who can have this filial piety. Do you know the approximate year of your grandfather's stay in Baiyangdian, and what is your grandfather's name?"
"My grandfather's name is Chen Erzhuang, and when I heard my grandfather say that he experienced it, it seemed to be from 1941 to 1943, and then he was transferred back to our hometown of Dingzhou. Chen Shu only remembers an approximate time, but from that time to now, everyone has to be over eighty years old, and I'm afraid there are really few left.
After Chen Shu finished speaking, the other party began to check the records of the year on the computer, and soon found the location of a file, but when Chen Shu saw the directory from the window, he really didn't have much hope in his heart.
The names of the people on it are densely packed, and most of the remarks column behind them are stamped with red seals, which makes people inevitably sad to see, and the three words "deceased" are too dazzling.
"Mr. Chen, there are not many of these people still alive, if you are free, please wait a while, I will help you contact and see if anyone has an impression of your grandfather. ”
"Okay! Thank you...... I'm sorry for you!" Chen Shu waited outside, and the other party began to call according to the contact number above, and occasionally no one answered, and the time passed like this. Chen Shu did not become anxious because of waiting, but felt that he should wait, and he could afford to wait.
After more than half an hour, the other party finally stopped, and it seemed that all the numbers that could be contacted on it had been called, and it seemed that there were really few veterans who really came from that era.
"Hello Mr. Chen, I've kept you waiting. There are four of them who clearly say that they remember your grandfather, and the others really don't have the slightest impression, this is the village and phone number of the four of them, you should be able to contact them, I have given them a brief description of your situation. The other party said very politely.
"I would like to know if there are any veterans who are still alive who have families that are more difficult?
"There is no way to do this, last year's 60th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the state introduced a special policy for these veterans of the Anti-Japanese War, and the state has subsidies for their living and medical care, so don't worry about this. ”
"Okay! Thank you, I'll visit these houses, I'm sorry for you!" Chen Shu politely walked out of the office building happily with the four lists. Seeing the smile on Chen Shu's face, he knew that there must be a result, so Wang Zilan didn't ask more.
"Zilan, it's still early, let's buy something first, and then look next to each other to see how these old people are doing, if there is no problem, I will come back again after a while, and take our grandfather and them together." If the elderly in that family are not in good health, they can only take care of them as much as possible. ”
"Tomorrow morning, let's get up early and go to Dianli to play, there is Gazi Film and Television Base here, as well as Daguan Garden and many other places to go, where you can see dozens of lotus varieties. It's a pity that I haven't been here either, so I can only listen to their introductions, and tomorrow we will take a look at it slowly for a day!"
The first target to go to is Majiazhai, this village is very famous, it seems that since the Song Dynasty, a village has been famous for shipbuilding, Wang Pocan and Li Youliang are two old people in this village, which is the closest to the county seat, and it has become the first destination for Chen Shu to go.
After entering the village, Chen Shuyi inquired, saying that he was looking for Wang Pocan and Li Youliang, two old people who had beaten the Japanese devils, and there were almost no people in the village who did not know, so he led Chen Shu and them to Wang Pocan's house very enthusiastically, and just saw the old man enjoying the shade in the carport where he entered the door at home.
"Uncle Wang, someone is looking for you, it seems that they are specifically looking for you who have beaten little devils!" The neighbors didn't know what Chen Shu was looking for Wang Pocan and them, thinking that the state had come down to investigate again, and what subsidies were given, because their own family had received them several times.
Chen Shu contacted their family before they came, so Chen Shu's arrival was not surprised, and the old man's eldest son happened to be at home, and when he saw Chen Shu coming over, he immediately beckoned Chen Shu to sit in the house, and at the same time beckoned the old man into the house.
"Uncle, how is Uncle Wang's health? There is no problem, right?" Chen Shu actually cared most about his body, so he asked with special concern.
When the Ministry of Civil Affairs called me to tell me, I was stunned for a moment, there are not many children with such a heart. The other party is also in his sixties, and Chen Shu was actually quite surprised to come over and take a look.
"My grandfather was very confused last year, and after the New Year, he returned to normal, and he went to Shijiazhuang Dry Rest House a few times, and there was only one old comrade-in-arms left there, and he was most worried about the days of fighting devils here, and I just happened to come out to look for it when I was free now. ”
"If Uncle Wang has no health problems, I want to bring my grandfather over in a few days and find a hotel in our county to meet once, I'm afraid this will be the last time we will meet in this generation." Your family is not in trouble, is it? Chen Shu said politely.
"No, no, no! I don't have to worry about food and clothing in the village, my father's subsidy is enough for his expenses, and now all the medical expenses are reimbursed, nothing wrong! Dad! This is your old comrade-in-arms, the grandson of Chen Erzhuang in Dingxian County, come and see you!" The voice was very loud, and the old man was a little deaf.
"Chen Erzhuang? He's still alive, hehehehehe! I haven't seen him for more than 60 years, and I won't see him again in my life! Li Youliang, that old boy, has seen him once in eight years, and he even rubbed a meal with others, and I said you won't let me go. The old man began to complain, Chen Shu immediately remembered, it seems that it was Li Youliang who came to his house at that time.
Before leaving, Chen Shu put down a copy of the things he bought, and then went to Li Youliang's house, but the situation of the two families was similar, and Chen Shu stayed at their house for about half an hour before coming out. To Chen Shu's surprise, the other party still remembered Chen Shu, when he went to Chen Shu's house, Chen Shu saw outsiders coming and helped serve the food.
At that time, Chen Shu was only seven or eight years old, but he didn't expect that he still had an impression after so many years. Xiaofei saw that there were old people in the village who were still weaving reed curtains, so she watched by the side, because she was very curious because she hadn't seen them.
I haven't asked for a ticket for a while! Do you have a recommendation? Do you have a commuter pass? Would you like to give a few?
Ask for a ticket!
