"How is it, Xingchen, are you satisfied with this marriage?"
"satisfy."
"Sasha, what about you, are you willing?"
"Yes." After glancing at Luo Xingchen, he replied in a mosquito-like voice.
OK, let's go. Pack up your things at home and you will get married today.
"Ah, so fast, what will happen to my sister and brother?"
Only then did a few people react and looked at the two little ones who were afraid of strangers.
Luo Xingchen knelt down and called the two little ones in front of him.
"Can you introduce yourselves to me? You see, I am a soldier just like your father. Don't be afraid."
"My name is Fan Lele, I am 8 years old, and I am my sister."
"My name is Fan Doudou. I am 6 years old."
"Hello, Lele Doudou, my name is Luo Xingchen. You can call me Brother Xingchen. Are you willing to live with Brother Xingchen and your sister from now on?"
The two little ones looked at the elder sister at a loss.
Seeing the two little ones looking at Fan Shasha, Luo Xingchen stood up and said to Fan Shasha.
"Shasha, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of you. Father Fan sacrificed his life to save me. From now on, we will be a family. Let's take care of my sister and brother together, okay?"
"Um."
When Captain Wang saw Shasha nodding, he asked Shasha to pack her things.
There wasn't anything important at home, so Fan Shasha packed up her clothes, the clothes of her two little ones, and the bedding for several people to sleep on. Then he put the memorial tablets of his parents into a military satchel, and the merit medals of Fan's father and mother.
Due to the war, she had moved many times, and her parents were buried together in the Martyrs Cemetery. So she doesn't have any deep nostalgia for this place.
After seeing Fan Shasha packing everything, several people quickly helped put the things in the back of the car.
Captain Wang and Luo Xingchen took two small cotton hats, put them on each other, and then each picked up one and went out. Fan Shasha followed closely behind them.
Ask the militia captain to inform the village chief that they have picked him up, and they get in the car and drive to Sijiu City.
The car parked directly at the subdistrict office, and Captain Wang took the two of them in to register for marriage.
After a few people came out, Luo Xingchen and the others had a certificate-style marriage certificate in their hands.
"Now that you two are married, we won't hold a banquet for you. The next step is Shasha's work. Shasha, you graduated from junior high school, right?"
"Yes, Uncle Wang."
"Okay, then you and Xingchen can go to work at Jiaodaokou Police Station, and you can go to the household registration department. I can rest assured that you two are together."
"Well, Uncle Wang is at your disposal."
"Okay, let's go back to the Public Security Bureau first. Captain Wang and a few people came to the Public Security Bureau to find the director. After telling the identities of Shasha and others, the director quickly stood up and saluted. Shasha's parents are both martyrs, and they are not A common martyr.”
"These are the files of several people. You can transfer them to your Ministry of Public Security just like Xingchen. The higher-ups want Xingchen and Shasha to work together, so the higher-ups can rest assured."
"Captain Wang, don't worry, the higher ups have already made arrangements. Let me follow your arrangements."
"Okay, then let's arrange for Shasha to be the section chief of the Jiaodaokou household registration department. Shasha graduated from junior high school and is completely qualified."
"Okay, I'll register right now and apply for a work permit for Shasha."
"Well, here are the household registrations of several people. You can find someone to bring them together. Xingchen and Shasha have already registered their marriage."
"Okay, I'll let someone handle it right now."
After a while, all the materials were ready, and even Shasha's military uniform, belt, and lady's pistol were sent over. (The police uniforms at the moment are also military uniforms but the logo is changed to public security)
"Captain Wang's affairs have all been settled. The two of them can take office at any time. The relationship between the two children has also been transferred to our public security system. When the school starts in the spring, they can enroll normally."
Captain Wang stepped forward and held the director's hand and said.
"I won't say much if I want to express my gratitude. Let's get together next time when we have time. I'll leave these two in your hands, just help them more."
"Don't worry, I just came here from the army, so don't trust me yet."
"Xingchen, and Shasha, no matter what difficulties you two have, you can tell me and I will help you solve them."
"Then I'd like to thank the director."
"Okay, let's go first. I have to send them back and have a lot of things to do."
"Okay, I'll see you off."
"There's no need to send him off. It's cold outside. Let's get together next time we have a chance. Let's go."
After Captain Wang led a few people out of the Public Security Bureau, he asked the driver to drive directly to the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative.
He took a few people to the supply and marketing cooperative, bought two new cotton-padded clothes for each of the two little ones, and a lot of snacks, and then returned to the courtyard with a few people.
Several people brought their things into the backyard together. The door was unlocked. When they entered, they saw that the house was already filled with daily necessities. Pots, pans, and various seasonings were also placed in the cupboard. Xiao Zhang even thoughtfully bought a lot of vegetables and several kilograms of pork belly.
Stoves were installed in both rooms, and coal was piled neatly at the door of the corner house.
Thick mattresses were also laid out on the heated stoves in both rooms.
Several people were very satisfied after visiting both houses.
"This Xiao Zhang seems to have a pretty good ability. If I have a chance, I'll see if I can recruit him to the Jiaodaokou Police Station. With his help, I believe I will be able to relax a lot."
It was almost two o'clock after everyone put their things away, and a few of them hadn't eaten yet.
Shasha started to light a fire to stir-fry and cook.
The two little ones also got to know a few people, and they played together in the house.
It didn't take long for the food to be served. Luo Xingchen and the driver served the food together.
Several people were also hungry, so this meal was particularly delicious, and the two little ones also had their mouths full of oil.
After finishing the meal, Captain Wang left with the driver.
Tell Xingchen not to worry about Xiao Zhang's affairs, and he will go over and tell him later. After asking him to call him if there was anything he couldn't solve, Luo Xingchen got into the car and left reluctantly.
Seeing that the car had gone far, Luo Xingchen took Shasha back to the house. Because it was too cold, every household had its doors and windows closed, so the two of them returned from the gate and saw no one else.
After returning to the house, Luo Xingchen and Shasha cleared the dining table together.
After the two finished cleaning up, they played with the two little ones.
After playing for a while, Shasha said that she should light the fire pit in advance. Only then did I realize that although there was coal in the house, there was not much firewood for burning the stove.
Luo Xingchen asked Shasha to watch the two little ones in the house, then went out and knocked on the door at Xu Damao's house.
Xu Wood, who heard the knock on the door, asked Xu Damao to open the door to see who it was.
"Hello, my name is Luo Xingchen. Is your dad here?"
Xu Damao ran to open the door and saw Luo Xingchen in military uniform. He quickly shouted into the room.
"Dad, he is our new neighbor brother."
"After hearing this, Xu Wood hurriedly got off the kang and put on his shoes and ran out."
"Hello comrade, what can I do for you?"
"Hello comrade, my name is Luo Xingchen. You can just call me Xingchen. Don't be a comrade. We will be neighbors from now on."
"Hello Xingchen, my name is Xu Wood, and this is my boy, Xu Damao."
"Okay, Uncle Xu, it's okay if I call you this."
"Okay, okay, look at my brain, hurry up, hurry up, come in and talk."
"I won't go in. I just want to come to you and ask you where you can get the firewood you usually use to light the fire pit. My wife wants to light the fire pit."
"Oh, this, we usually go up the mountain to look for it when we have time, but they are basically bought, and they are not expensive. You can buy a big bundle for a dime, which is enough for several days. You can give me a hug from my house first. Use a few bundles first.”
"How about that? How about I give you the money and treat it as if I bought it."
"Okay, it's just a few bundles of firewood. If you feel bad about buying it next time, just give it back to me."
"Okay, Uncle Xu, please help me keep an eye out for the firewood sellers. If I'm here, just call me. If I'm not here, you want to buy more for me. Wait until I come back to get the money for you. .”
"Okay, Damao, let Brother Xingchen help you carry a few bundles of firewood over."
