"No, no, no, I'm not letting you raise me alone. There are five of us, two comrades in arms, and two businessmen with the same kind hearts as you."
"Oh? It turns out there is an organization, so there must be a plan to raise a baby?"
"Hey, what's your plan? In the past few years, my two comrades and I have shouldered the burden. But this year, it was obviously too hard, so I started looking for good Samaritans.
Those two businessmen also just joined, and they agreed to send money once every six months, and it will be the same if you join. I will remember the account, and I will also send the money."
Tie Jun nodded, but it didn't bother him. He really didn't have that much time to spend with these children.
"Brother Liu, how far is the nearest child from Xi'an?"
Based on the principle of seeing is believing, Tie Jun still wanted to see it for himself.
"That's Tianshui, which is more than 300 kilometers away and takes more than eight hours to drive."
"I'll go, run more than 300 kilometers for 8 hours? A bullock cart?"
Looking at Tie Jun's round eyes, Liu Shengli smiled.
"My brother, where are we? The northwest is a land of indifference. There are roads, but it's not bad!"
Thinking of the flying dirt and the bumpy dirt road, Tie Jun flinched, and the joints in his body seemed to hurt.
Liu Shengli patted his arm and said with a smile: "It's too bad. When the conditions get better in the future, I will bring the children out to see you."
Just as Tie Jun was about to nod, the adoring eyes of Xiao Shitou, Dahua's sensible smile, Xiaomi's beautiful dimples, and Yaya's milky voice suddenly appeared in his mind.
"No, I'll go, if you can spare the time."
Tie Jun made a decision. Even if he stayed with his children for an hour, he would still be alive in their hearts, not those pencils and pencil boxes.
"I can tell you that we have plenty of time. The chief has just had an operation and needs to rest. I don't need to take care of him. You can decide the time!"
"Okay, let's set off right away while we have free time in these two days."
"What? Let's leave immediately?"
Liu Shengli's mouth opened wide, and Tie Jun was amused.
"Why don't you tell me the time? Why don't you, a soldier like you..."
"Tie Jun, I read that right, you are a responsible person. Go and tell your wife, I will ask for leave from the chief, and I will see you downstairs later."
"good!"
Tie Jun turned around, quickly went downstairs, and entered the ward.
"What? Going to Tianshui? More than 8 hours? Tie Jun, are you okay? Which one is more important, your brother or those Gansu kids?"
Before Tie Jun finished speaking, Chu Yao exploded and asked Tie Jun in one breath with smoke coming from her forehead.
"Do you all think so too?"
Tie Jun looked at the crowd, but no one spoke. To be precise, no one dared to speak, and no one wanted to take sides between Tie Jun and his wife.
"Tielin, brother will be back in three days at most."
"Then you go, I'm going back to Beijing."
Chu Yao stamped her feet and ran out of the ward.
"sister in law!"
Erniu chased him out.
"Brother, go and chase him!"
Tielin looked anxious and urged Tiejun.
"What are you chasing? What happens after you catch up? Do you want me to admit my mistake?"
"Alas! You all blame me. Why should you have a good fight? Otherwise, these things would have happened!"
Tielin hit the bed hard with a look of regret on his face.
"Da Lin, don't blame yourself, it has nothing to do with you or anyone else.
If she is like you and Erniu, she has also been on the battlefield, witnessed the cruelty of war, and watched her comrades die in front of her eyes.
Then, she will also lend a helping hand to the descendants they leave behind."
"Brother, you go ahead. When my leg injury recovers, I will also visit those children."
"Well, take good care of yourself and give Er Niu more guidance. I'll be back soon."
Tie Jun opened the bedside cabinet, took out his backpack, turned around and walked out.
"etc!"
Mi Xiaodie shouted from behind, Tie Jun stopped and looked back at Mi Xiaodie.
"You are going to Tianshui. Can I give you a ride and be your guide along the way?"
"Isn't Little Bee having surgery in the afternoon?"
"My eldest sister works in Xi'an. She will come over soon. In a few days, it will be the anniversary of my death twenty years ago. I want to..."
"Oh, it's been quite a journey. Can you bear it?"
"Haha, remember the hardships and think of the sweetness!"
After Mi Xiaodie finished speaking, she hugged Little Bee and the two sisters whispered a few words. Mi Xiaodie also took out a backpack and put it on her back, and walked over.
"You shouldn't wear a suit."
"I know, it's a bit like a migrant worker. Let's change it on the way. I'm in a hurry."
"Boss Iron, you are this!"
The second senior brother shouted and gave a thumbs up. Tie Jun smiled and said: "I've caught up. If you can, just give me a hand. Anyone else would do it."
The two of them left the ward and left the hospital in silence. Having experienced Mi Xiaodie's power, Tie Jun did not dare to talk nonsense.
A camouflage 213 military vehicle parked in the courtyard, the door opened, and Liu Shengli came out of the cab and waved to Tie Jun.
"Brother Liu, can you drive?"
"I'm asking this question, but the plane has already taken off, so I can't even talk about this."
While talking, Liu Shengli walked to the car and looked at Mi Xiaodie with a question mark on his face.
"Oh, Brother Liu, this is Mi Xiaodie. She lives in Tianshui. She is the fourth sister of the female patient in Tielin Ward."
Tie Jun didn't say that Mi Xiaodie graduated from Tsinghua University and studied in Germany. Mi Xiaodie looked at Tie Jun and was very satisfied with Tie Jun's introduction.
"Brother Liu, I saw you last night and I'm causing trouble for you."
"No trouble, just put your bag in the back!"
Liu Shengli opened the trunk and found three boxes of military cans lying in the trunk with a travel bag on top. Tie Jun and Mi Xiaodie put the bags away.
"Three families, one box of cans per family."
Liu Shengli smiled, closed the trunk, and the three of them got into the car. Tie Jun specially let Mi Xiaodie sit in the passenger seat.
"Brother Liu, I want to buy some clothes for the children and some stationery."
"Um!"
Liu Shengli nodded, started the car, and set off on the road.
Liu Shengli said that he first went to Qingshui County and found an 8-year-old girl named Liao Xiangxiang.
The three in Wushan County are all boys, from two families. One of them is a pair of brothers, named Shi Yue and Shinan, twins, 7 years old. The other boy is 9 years old, named Li Xiang.
"Brother Liu, these children's names are quite unique!"
"It's all modified later. It's my masterpiece."
Liu Shengli was very proud, while Mi Xiaodie looked ahead and never participated in the conversation between the two.
When he arrived at the department store, Tie Jun bought eight pairs of shoes and two sets of clothes for his four children, one cotton suit and one summer suit. He didn't dare to buy too much because the children were growing taller!
I bought four more schoolbags, each with a pencil case, pencils, and various notebooks.
Finally, Tie Jun bought three big bags of food, with all kinds of food. Liu Shengli wanted to say something, Tie Jun waved his hand, and Liu Shengli shook his head.
Mi Xiaodie bought four bottles of clam oil and said that the wind and sand here were so strong that many of the children's faces became chapped.
Tie Jun was silent, feeling a little disdainful for the daughter of a wealthy family. The richer she got, the more stingy she became. Maybe she was talking about these people who had drunk foreign ink.
After loading his things into the car, Liu Shengli turned on the running mode and roared all the way out of the city.
