Chapter 23: Everyone is happy
—
It is a coincidence that the Ministry of Armed Forces received the coordination letter from the army this afternoon.
Cheng Yang has been away from home for more than five years and is still determining where his wife and children will be.
The troops launched multiple attacks simultaneously to find Shi Xiaoai as soon as possible.
On the one hand, they called the Township Armed Forces Department, where Cheng Yang jumped in and asked them to send people to the village to understand the situation.
On the one hand, they contacted the Armed Forces Department of Yuncheng, where Shi Xiaoai's registered permanent residence was before going to the countryside. They asked them to help check to see if she had returned to the city.
We don't know the situation at the Township Armed Forces Department, but the Yuncheng Armed Forces Department went to great lengths to find Shi Xiaoai.
Xiao Ai's family had already left the older man's household registration book early. Because they didn't have a house when they moved out, their household registration was in the tiny cubicle they first rented.
After so many years, things have changed.
Shi's parents have passed away, and they have moved many times. Even the tiny cubicle has long since disappeared due to house renovations.
People from the Ministry of Armed Forces searched everywhere, but there was no news about Shi Xiaoai.
They had no choice but to send copies of this search assistance notice to all districts and even subordinate counties and towns, asking all subordinate units to help search for him.
After all, this is a co-investigation letter sent from the front line. The person looking for is the hero's wife, and the Ministry of Armed Forces attaches great importance to it.
When the comrade in charge of the District Armed Forces Department received the document, he immediately remembered Shi Xiaoai's family search request submitted by the Military Support Office yesterday. After comparing the two, he matched the number on the spot!
Everyone was happy that they completed the task assigned by their superiors so quickly; even the district chief was alarmed.
Hearing that the hero's wife was within his jurisdiction, the district chief didn't return to his home and went directly to Yunhe Lane with the subordinates in charge of this work.
"Hello, Comrade Xiao, we have learned about Comrade Cheng Yang's situation. He is out of danger and is currently recuperating in the hospital. Because he cannot return now, we can only find you and your child through the organization..."
District Chief The surname is Ou, a middle-aged man in his forties, skinny, very tall, with a dark complexion and deep wrinkles between his eyebrows. If the person next to him hadn't introduced him, Shi Xiaoai would have regarded him as a heavy manual laborer, and he didn't look like an official anyway.
When he saw Shi Xiaoai, he stood up immediately and explained the situation on Cheng Yang's side to her.
Xiao Ai should have listened more carefully to the rest. The words "out of danger" grabbed all her attention.
She subconsciously asked: "Recuperating in the hospital? Is Cheng Yang injured?"
District Director Ou's expression became heavy, and he nodded: "Yes."
Then, he repeated the specific situation written in the coordination letter.
Shi Xiaoai listened quietly without interrupting. She didn't know these details before.
Only then did she finally understand why Cheng Yang had been away for five years without any news. It was all out of necessity.
Because the synopsis didn't mention anything about Cheng Yang's situation after he left, and because he felt empathy for the original owner, Shi Xiaoai had always been angry with this man and had no good impression of him.
She felt a little shaken after listening to District Chief Ou's words. She felt that this person was not as cold-blooded as she thought.
Forget it, forget it, treat him a little better when he comes over.
As long as he agrees to the divorce and keeps the two children to herself, he can still retain the right to visit the children.
Shi Xiaoai convinced herself in her heart. And in the eyes of others, how she lowered her head and remained silent meant that she was suppressing great sadness because she worried about her husband.
Everyone couldn't help but cast sympathetic glances at her.
District Chief Ou sighed and comforted: "Comrade Xiao Ai, don't worry too much. Comrade Cheng Yang's injury should be fine. He can be discharged from the hospital after recuperation for a while. It's unfair that you are not allowed to visit."
"It's very inhumane, but I can only ask for your understanding. After all, although Cheng Yang's place is not on the front line, it is still a war zone. It is too dangerous and inconvenient for you to take your children there. However, we will contact the troops anytime to provide news about Comrade Cheng Yang. I will pass it on to you as soon as possible..."
District Chief Ou also said a lot, all of which were words of comfort.
When Shi Xiaoai regained consciousness, he nodded quickly and said with infinite gratitude: "Thank you, leader, for causing you trouble. I believe that the organization will take good care of Cheng Yang. I can rest assured that he will be handed over to the organization! I will take care of the child." Stay home and wait for news about him."
Seeing that she was so sensible and could hold back her grief without crying or making a fuss after hearing such bad news and did not take the opportunity to make demands to the organization, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at Shi Xiaoai, his eyes became more appreciative.
So, District Chief Ou also became more generous.
He immediately asked: "Comrade Xiao, I have heard you just returned from the countryside with your child. The family must not have been completely settled yet. Are there any difficulties? If there are any, you can mention them and solve them. We will try our best to help you solve it!"
Not just kidding, the wife and children of a national first-class hero must be taken care of in their jurisdiction, no matter what!
Naturally, Xiao Ai couldn't let go of such a good thing, and she immediately expressed her desire to open a tea stall.
After hearing this, District Chief Ou was stunned. He did not expect that Shi Xiaoai's requirements would be so low!
When he made the promise, District Chief Ou was ready to arrange a job for her. However, it isn't easy to put work now.
But no matter how difficult it is, these are the family members of heroes, and we can still handle special issues.
Who would have thought she just wanted to occupy a spot at a tea stall owned by the street office and sell large tea bowls?
"Do you have no other requirements besides this?" District Chief Ou asked meaningfully.
He seemed to be afraid that Shi Xiaoai would not understand the meaning of his words, so he glanced at Director Yu, who was standing next to him, and added: "What you mentioned just now should be about the affairs of the street office, and cannot be regarded as your request. "
There are no other requirements. As long as the application on the street can be approved and I can run the first stall, I will be satisfied." Shi
Xiaoai smiled shyly and explained: "The child's father is on the front line. I work hard for the safety of the motherland and people's safety, not so we can enjoy special treatment. I appreciate the leader's kindness, but I can't embarrass the father of my children and make arbitrary demands. My current situation and the children are unique.
I still have Children who cannot live without people, and it is not convenient for me to go out to work and leave them alone at home. Opening a tea stall is close to home, and it is also convenient for me to take care of the children, so it is suitable for me. I hope the leaders can understand and support me. "
Shi Xiaoai's request was so simple that District Chief Ou didn't face any embarrassment. On the contrary, according to the plan, she said, if it is done well, it is likely to become a work achievement of the district.
District Chief Ou had no reason not to agree.
What Shi Xiaoai said just now touched his heart. As a veteran, it reminded him of his former comrades.
None of them ever considered personal interests while working hard on the front line and never considered using their identities to benefit their families.
Because of such fearless soldiers, they have such selfless family members!
Thinking of this, he said to Shi Xiaoai with emotion: "Comrade Xiao, you said so well! Your and Comrade Cheng Yang's selfless spirit is worth learning from each of us! I think your proposal for a tea stall is perfect. It can be seriously promoted as a good plan!"
"In this way," he looked at Director Yu: "Old Yu, you will write a work report and submit it to the district tomorrow. Write down the things that need assistance from the district, and then You can start by doing it first!
Our district will use your street as a pilot project. Do it well, get things done, and set an excellent example for other streets!"
District Chief Ou only briefly stayed in the street office, but seeing that, He was pleased to learn about this trip.
Not only did he agree to the request to establish a tea stall on the spot, but he also specifically instructed his subordinates to give the green light appropriately on this matter and to try to meet the requirements that could be met.
Finally, he gave a few words to Yang Ruihua, asking the Military Support Office to pay attention to the life of Shi Xiaoai's family and to find a way to solve any difficulties.
In short, District Chief Ou's trip allowed him to communicate with his superiors smoothly and solved Shi Xiaoai's big problem, and both parties were happy.
With the help from the district, the rest of the process was like a free ride, progressing smoothly at an unexpected speed.
Shi Xiaoai initially thought about buying some cups, but Director Yu unexpectedly sent him 100 yuan and an approval note from the district government the next day.
That money is a special fund allocated by the district to buy things for the tea stall. With the approval slip from the district government, you can go directly to the local product store and daily necessities store under the district to buy the necessary items.
Naturally, these things are still owned by the public, but Shi Xiaoai has the absolute right to use them.
