If I don't go back for such a long time, who knows how many rumors will spread in the village! I'd better go back soon! By then, all the rumors will be debunked.
Well! I have to tell my godparents about this.
Also, I have to ask Brother Xiao to help me buy the train tickets.
If you go to buy it yourself, you will probably only get hard seat tickets. Lin Yizhen wants to buy a sleeper ticket, but it is really impossible to get one without connections.
Therefore, this matter can only trouble her brother Xiao Aijun.
The next day, when Lin Yizhen went to the Xiao family, she told Xiao Aijun about this matter, and Xiao Aijun agreed without hesitation.
Apart from buying tickets, the next thing is the house.
Lin Yizhen was about to go back, and it was not known when she would return to the capital. The house in the capital needed someone to take care of it, otherwise it would soon fall into disrepair.
Moreover, housing in the capital is already tight.
If no one is watching, it will easily be taken away by someone else.
The reason the place hadn't been occupied before was because the government was guarding it. Now that the house had been given to Lin Yizhen, the second-in-command naturally withdrew his men.
If no one is active in the house for a long time, when Lin Yizhen comes back, I don’t know what the house will be like!
So, Lin Yizhen entrusted the house to Xiao Defeng and his wife.
Ask them to help her look at houses when they are free, or find someone else to help her look at houses.
After hearing her words, Xiao Defeng stood up suddenly with excitement in his eyes and opened his mouth to say something, but then he shook his head and sat down again.
Lin Yizhen was a little puzzled when she saw this. She looked at Xiao Defeng and said, "Godfather, do you have anything to say?"
"I..." Xiao Defeng said after looking at Lin Yizhen.
Xiao Defeng was a bit speechless. The child just wanted them to help look after the house. Why did he have such selfish motives? His comrade was in a bad situation, so he should find a way to help him instead of putting the burden on the child.
Xiao Defeng remained silent. What could Wang Shumeng, who had been married to him for almost thirty years, not know?
The ones who could make him so embarrassed must be his old comrades.
Thinking of his former comrades, Wang Shumeng sighed. Few of those comrades were still alive.
There were only a few living people who could be contacted, and Lao Xiao finally managed to contact two of them.
Unexpectedly, they were all in bad situations.
She and Lao Xiao also wanted to help them, but their own situation was not good and they might be sent to the farm at any time.
I want to help my comrades, but I don’t have the ability to do so. If I’m not careful, I might even implicate my comrades.
Thinking of this, Wang Shumeng sighed and said to Lin Yizhen: "Old Xiao can't say it, let me say it!"
Hearing this, Lin Yizhen turned her gaze to Wang Shumeng again.
Wang Shumeng glanced at Xiao Defeng and then at Lin Yizhen and said, "Xiaozhen! Your godfather is worried about his old comrades.
Many of his comrades have been lost, and the two who can be contacted are not doing well in their hometowns. I just heard that you asked us to look at houses. I guess he wants his comrades to come over.
But I was worried about causing you trouble, so I couldn't say it."
So that's how it was. She thought it was something else! Raising two people wasn't a difficult task, but the difficulty was that she didn't know what their personalities were like.
Thinking of this, Lin Yizhen said to Xiao Defeng, "I wonder how much Godfather knows about your two comrades?"
Lin Yizhen's words startled Xiao Defeng and Wang Shumeng at first, and then Xiao Defeng quickly said, "You can rest assured about their character. I can guarantee this with my own life."
Xiao Defeng and his two comrades had lived in the same military camp since they were teenagers, and they had shared life and death together for nearly twenty years.
He knew their personalities and ways of doing things very well, otherwise he would not have asked them to come and help his goddaughter look for a house.
Moreover, both of them are now alone.
He has no family to burden him and no bad relatives, which is why he is willing to help them.
However, he himself is now in a difficult situation and cannot even save himself.
If his goddaughter hadn't wanted to find someone to help look after the house, he really wouldn't have thought of this.
Of course, even if his comrades came, he would often go over to help his goddaughter look after the house.
After hearing what her godfather said, Lin Yizhen had nothing to worry about.
So, he said to Xiao Defeng: "Okay, then godfather, write a letter to inform them!"
At this time, Wang Shumeng on the side said: "Writing letters is too slow. Lao Xiao, you can call Xiao Tan and Xiao Fang directly and ask them to drive directly to find Lao Fan and Lao Qian.
Let them send Lao Fan and Lao Qian onto the train to Beijing.
Our Xiaozhen is going back soon, so we need to get them to the capital before she leaves so that she can meet them."
Wang Shumeng had known Lao Fan and Lao Qian before and knew them well, but the house was Xiaozhen's after all, so she had to let Xiaozhen see it before making a decision.
Besides, they have been separated from Lao Xiao for more than ten years. Who knows if they are still the same as before?
If they are really the same as before, then it’s not too late to make a decision.
Thinking of this, Wang Shumeng said to Xiao Defeng again: "Old Xiao, when you call later, don't mention that Xiaozhen hired them to look at the house.
Just say that old comrades haven't seen each other for many years and come to Beijing to get together.
We'll pay for the round trip fare, and they just need to bring a few changes of clothes."
Hearing his wife's words, Xiao Defeng was a little confused at first, but then he saw Xiaozhen sitting next to him, and nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
