On the surface, the beating from Wen Shize only caused superficial injuries, but what about the hidden injuries?
The eldest and third sons of the Dong family suffered from severe pain in their waists and legs every night.
Lying on the bed screaming and howling like a ghost, it felt like someone was stabbing my flesh with needles.
But when they called a barefoot doctor, he couldn't explain what was going on.
After a year or two of suffering, my wife's temper was worn away.
The family's situation deteriorated rapidly and the old lady was no longer willing to spend any money.
Whenever the two of them worked, their bodies ached. In the end, they didn't earn many work points, and they also brought a lot of hunger to the team.
Dong’s wife couldn’t stand living like this any longer, so she returned to her parents’ home with her bag on her back.
No matter how much the children cried and begged him to stay, he never came back.
The family suddenly lost its labor force, and the children all lived the same life as Dong Aiguo and his family.
The only good thing is that the old lady of the Dong family did not neglect her grandchildren.
She would give them a meal occasionally, but the money she had was limited. Her two sons could barely take care of themselves, so how could they have money to honor her?
The Dong family became increasingly poorer, and in the end, the eldest son of the Dong family starved to death in his bed.
It can be considered as a tit-for-tat.
On the other side, when the three Dong siblings were taken to the guesthouse, Dong Aiguo felt a little nervous.
The things he did were all shameful.
Wen Shize called him into a room alone, with a gentle look on his face: "Do it."
The boy was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and looked very much like Brother Dong, but he was too thin.
Dong Aiguo slowly sat down on the bed, and couldn't help but put his hand on the small shoulder bag in his arms.
Looking at the man in front of him, staring at him with burning eyes, Dong Aiguo felt even more uneasy.
This person is looking at himself, and it seems that he is also looking at others through himself.
The atmosphere was stagnant. Dong Aiguo coughed and spoke first: "Uncle Wen..., Brother Wen."
The word "uncle" rolled around in his mouth and was swallowed back by Dong Aiguo.
This man was only a dozen years older than him, so it felt awkward to call him uncle.
Wen Shize didn't say much and let him shout as he pleased.
"Brother Wen, the three of us siblings can't go back after we come out this time.
Could you please find us a place to stay?
My younger brothers and sisters are still young and can go to school. The money we have is enough to support them as they grow up."
Wen Shize clasped his hands together and looked at Dong Aiguo with a smile: "These are all small matters. My brothers and sisters have solved them. What about you?"
Dong Aiguo was stunned by Wen Shize's words and sat there in a daze.
"I...I don't know either."
From childhood to adulthood, the belief that has always supported him is to raise his younger brothers and sisters.
Even now he still thinks so.
Wen Shize's eyes flashed with heartache, and his voice became softer: "Do you want to join the army? If you do, I'll say hello to the army."
Dong Aiguo's eyes suddenly widened, and he said in a trembling voice: "Can I really do this? I used to..."
Wen Shize raised his hand to interrupt him: "Okay, I'll recommend you, everything in the past is in the past, forget it.
Let’s look forward to it. You follow me to the army tomorrow and I will take care of the rest.
As for your younger brother and sister, your father was already qualified to be allocated a family housing complex, but your mother did not come because she had to take care of the elderly.
Your situation is special, I will apply for it later, there are aunts in the family compound to help you, so your brothers and sisters don’t have to worry. "
Dong Aiguo nodded heavily and said with tears in his eyes: "Thank you."
Looking at Dong Aiguo, whose lips were trembling with excitement, Wen Shize felt a pang of sadness in his heart. He raised his head slightly to the ceiling and forced back the tears in his eyes.
He smiled and said to Dong Aiguo: "Tell your brothers and sisters to pack up, and let's go eat."
Looking at Dong Aiguo's excited and trembling appearance, Wen Shize smiled.
While Dong Aiguo was calling for help, Wen Shize walked to Ningxia's side.
With a look of apology on his face, he said, "Maybe I can't accompany you today? I'm so sorry."
Ningxia quickly shook her head and said, “Don’t ever say such things.
The important thing to do first is to settle the three children. Director Zheng will return to the hospital later, and I will go back with her.
Let's make an appointment another day when we have time. There's no rush now."
Looking at Ningxia's considerate look, Wen Shize felt a little warm in his heart.
After Ningxia left, the three little ones also poked their heads out of the house.
When Wen Shize brought the three Dong siblings to the army canteen, quite a few people were already waiting there.
Some people looked excited and looked at the three skinny children with tears in their eyes.
Wen Shize was afraid of scaring them, so he glared at the group of people, then gently went to the window to order a few dishes.
Dong Aihua looked at the greasy meat on the table and couldn't help drooling.
The same thing happened to Dong Aijun. Wen Shize handed them the chopsticks and said, "Eat quickly."
In order to not make the three children feel restrained, he also ordered a dish.
He picked up the chopsticks and started eating slowly.
The three Dong siblings originally only dared to carefully pick up a piece of meat and put it into their mouths. Later, they didn’t know whether it was because the meat was too fragrant or they just let go.
They began to eat voraciously, especially Dong Aijun, who didn't care about the pain in his legs at all. He picked up the rice grains that fell on the table and stuffed them into his mouth.
Chief of Staff Xu, who was standing outside the window, looked at everything in the cafeteria and couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.
Hao Zhengwei at the side sighed: "Look at these three kids, what should we do?
Although the family compound here does not comply with the regulations, we cannot disappoint the martyrs.
We have to be flexible. Besides, the eldest son of the Dong family is already sixteen years old and can submit an application to the army."
Chief of Staff Xu put his hands behind his back, nodded slightly and replied: "You go ahead and handle this matter. I will review all applications, and you don't need to go through anyone else."
Political Commissar Hao could no longer suppress the joy on his face.
Chief of Staff Chen Ji talked about another incident: “I heard from Perrin about what happened today.
She said you were being slow in doing things, which was not consistent with your previous behavior at all."
The smile on Political Commissar Hao's face froze, and after a long while he said, "Our position is becoming more and more sensitive. How can we be as indifferent as before?"
Chief of Staff Xu sighed and said, "Yes, as I get older, I become more cautious in my life.
I am afraid of saying the wrong thing or doing the wrong thing, and then being criticized later."
Chief of Staff Xu's voice gradually faded away, and his usually tall and straight figure faintly revealed a hint of fatigue.
