After getting off the train, Xiaoshan was like a little monkey that had broken free from its leash, jumping and clumsily along the way. When he saw Huo Qiqi walking in front of him, he shouted loudly, "Sister Huo, wait for me, I'm here, I'm here."
Huo Qiqi turned around and found that it was Xiaoshan who called her. She quickly walked over to Sister Liu and asked in surprise, "Sister Liu, Xiaoshan, are you getting off here? If you had told us earlier, we could have helped you get your package off the train."
Sister Liu waved her hand and said to Huo Qiqi with a smile, "Qiqi, you are so polite. I didn't expect you to get off here. These packages are not heavy."
Huo Qiqi looked at Xiaoshan, then at Sister Liu, and said seriously, "Sister Liu, give your package to me, Xiaoli. You carry Xiaoshan on your back. There are a lot of people leaving the station right now, and there might be human traffickers. You must not let Xiaoshan out of your sight. Safety first."
Sister Liu looked at the somewhat angry Huo Qiqi, thinking about what happened at the train station, and nodded seriously. She said to Huo Qiqi earnestly, "Qiqi, thank you. You have helped us mother and son so much. I really don't know what to say."
At this time, Xiao Li also came to Huo Qiqi's side, and the two of them naturally took Sister Liu's package. After seeing this, Sister Liu had no choice but to accept their kindness. She carried Xiaoshan beside her tightly on her back, and the few of them walked towards the exit.
Xiaoshan, who was lying on Sister Liu's back, said to Huo Qiqi and Xiaoli seriously like a little adult, "Sister Huo, Sister Xiaoli, after we get out of the station, I'll ask Dad to buy some White Rabbit candy. I want to treat you to some candy."
When Xiao Li heard that there was candy, his eyes lit up and he smiled at Xiao Shan and said, "Xiao Shan, if your dad only buys 10 candies, how many can you and I, Huo Qiqi, get?"
Five-year-old Xiaoshan counted carefully on his fingers for a while and said, "I've calculated it. Sister Huo gets 3, Mom gets 3, I get 2, and Sister Xiaoli gets 2. That way everyone will have candy."
Xiao Li pretended to be angry and walked to the front of the team. Xiao Shan saw Xiao Li's expression and asked Huo Qiqi beside her in confusion, "Sister Huo, what's wrong with Xiao Li? Why is she walking in front? Does she want to go to the bathroom?"
Hearing Xiaoshan's question, Huo Qiqi suppressed the urge to laugh. She looked at Xiaoli's back and said with a smile, "Sister Xiaoli, I'm hungry. I want to leave the station early and eat something."
A few of them chatted and laughed as they reached the exit. A military jeep in the distance looked at them and drove over. The door opened, and a man in military uniform got out. He shouted to Xiaoshan, who was standing behind Sister Liu, "Xiaoshan, Dad's here!"
After hearing his father's voice, Xiaoshan struggled to jump off his mother's back and ran quickly towards his father. Sister Liu looked at the husband she had been thinking about day and night and appeared in front of her, and tears couldn't stop flowing down her face.
Seeing his wife in tears, Brigade Commander Wang was also upset. Sister Liu briefly recounted what happened on the train. Only then did Brigade Commander Wang understand what had happened. He angrily said, "This is simply lawless. Don't worry, I will report it to the leadership and conduct a thorough investigation."
Sister Liu seemed to have thought of something and exclaimed, "Look, I'm confused. Go help Qiqi and Xiaoli. They saw that it was not easy for us mother and son, so they helped us carry the big package."
Brigade Commander Wang patted his forehead lightly. He quickly came to Huo Qiqi, bowed, and said to her seriously, "Comrade Huo, thank you for saving my wife and children, and thank you for taking care of me along the way."
Brigade Commander Wang was a tall and strong man, and he easily carried the two large packages on his back. When the guards on the side saw this, they hurried over to help, and after all the packages were put away.
Sister Liu came up to Huo Qiqi and Xiaoli and said seriously, "Qiqi, Xiaoli, I'm treating you to a meal. You can't refuse. Just consider it a token of my sincere gratitude."
Huo Qiqi and Xiao Li looked at each other, knowing they couldn't refuse any longer. Huo Qiqi smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Sister Liu. We can just have a simple meal."
Although Sister Liu agreed, she still brought them to the state-owned restaurant. Looking at the table full of dishes, Huo Qiqi frowned and said, "Sister Liu, isn't there too much food on the table?"
Sister Liu looked at Huo Qiqi and said with emotion, "Qiqi, to be honest, if it weren't for you, I can't imagine what would have happened to Xiaoshan. Please don't reject me again. I don't know when we will meet next time, so let me indulge myself this time."
Huo Qiqi nodded seriously. Xiaoshan and Xiaoli saw that no one was talking anymore, so they immediately started eating. After everyone finished eating, Brigade Commander Wang smiled at Huo Qiqi and said, "Comrade Huo, where are you going? I'll ask Xiao Zhou to take you there."
Huo Qiqi refused without hesitation, "Captain Wang, that's not necessary. Xiao Li and I have a solution."
Brigade Commander Wang glanced at his wife, seemingly guessing Huo Qiqi's concerns. He smiled and said, "Comrade Huo, don't worry about the vehicle. I'll explain it to the higher-ups. Besides, you're also the child of a martyr, so it's only right that I show my hospitality."
Sister Liu said, "Qiqi, you have helped Xiaoshan and me so much along the way. You are our family's savior. If you don't let me do something, I will feel guilty."
Xiaofa, who was standing by, said, "Sister Liu, we are going to Wangjiapo in Xishan. It's very cheap there, so we don't have to work so hard."
The guard explained to Brigade Commander Wang, "Commander, I know where it is. It's not far, only an hour or two by car. I'll take you back to the barracks first, and then take these two female comrades to Wangjiapo."
Without waiting for Huo Qiqi and Xiao Li to refuse again, Sister Liu pushed them into the car. The interior of the jeep was very spacious and not crowded at all. Xiaoshan realized that he was about to separate from Huo Qiqi and was not very happy all the way.
Seeing Xiaoshan's depressed look, Huo Qiqi took out a harmonica, a toy car, 10 picture books and some chocolates from her package, wrapped them in cloth and handed them to Xiaoshan.
Under Xiaoshan's puzzled gaze, Huo Qiqi said, "Xiaoshan, these things are given to you by your sister. You can take them out and play with them whenever you miss your sister."
Xiaoshan looked at his mother, and when he saw that she had no objection, he happily took the package, took out the toy car, and burst into laughter. This was the first gift he had received since he was old enough to understand, and he would never forget a big sister like Huo Qiqi in his life.
Sister Liu looked at Huo Qiqi gratefully. She knew that these things were not easy to find in this era. She said seriously, "Qiqi, Sister Liu really doesn't know what to say. You are my sister for life."
Huo Qiqi smiled and said, "Sister Liu, you are my biological sister."
