In 1959, what's wrong with me pedaling a tricycle?
Chapter 253 Unexpected Words Heard
The holiday is over, but the issue with the trust store is still unresolved, and I don't know when they will take care of it.
Wang Xingguo boarded a train to Wuhan because his mission was to receive a batch of parts and equipment in Wuchang and then transport them to Malan Farm.
Wuhan is quite interesting. The station south of the Yangtze River is called Wuchang Station, while the station north of the Yangtze River is called Hankou Station.
However, Hankou Station only serves the province, so Wang Xingguo and his group went directly across the bridge and got off at Wuchang Station.
The food hasn't arrived yet, but the comrades here have arranged a meal of river delicacies for everyone.
The most famous one should be the Wuchang fish. This thing is actually called blunt snout bream, and locals call it bream.
However, Wang Xingguo found the fish too bony and preferred the braised catfish, mainly because the meat was thick and had few bones.
Then came the stewed fish and tofu. The soup was thick and milky white, and both the fish and tofu were delicious. Wang Xingguo enjoyed the meal very much.
After waiting for two days, the parts were completed. After Wang Xingguo confirmed that everything was correct and completed the handover, he escorted the items to Daheyan.
It took three days and three nights to travel from Wuhan to Lanzhou, and then I transferred to another bus from Lanzhou to Daheyan, which took another four days and four nights.
Including loading and unloading, Wang Xingguo's business trip took a full eleven days and ten nights from departure to arrival at Daheyan.
Wang Xingguo departed on July 2nd, arrived at Daheyan on the 12th, and reached Malan Town at 9 pm on the 14th.
When Wang Xingguo got out of the car, he looked extremely haggard.
Because this escort mission was top secret, he and Commander Zou, who was accompanying the escort, took turns patrolling to ensure that nothing went wrong.
So he hasn't had a full night's sleep in days.
Gritting his teeth, he persevered and completed the handover with Deputy Chief of Staff Qian. Deputy Chief of Staff Qian smiled and said, "Xiao Wang, how about you come have a couple of drinks with me?"
But the next second, Wang Xingguo relaxed and collapsed to the ground.
Deputy Chief of Staff Qian rushed forward to help Wang Xingguo up, shouting, "Ma Liu, quickly go and call the doctor..."
…………
Wang Xingguo didn't know how long he had been unconscious. When he slowly opened his eyes, he could vaguely hear the conversation of several people.
The general's voice rang out.
"What did the doctor say?"
An unfamiliar voice replied, "Sir, the doctor said Xiao Wang caught a heatstroke. He probably didn't get enough rest while escorting this shipment, and with the temperature so high now, he ended up like this. But the doctor said it's nothing serious; he's already had an injection, and he just needs a few days of rest to recover."
The general sighed and said, "Well, that's good. If something had happened to Xiao Wang, I wouldn't have had the face to see the old commander."
Chief of Staff Song's voice rang out: "Yes, Xiao Wang's parents have passed away. If he knew that his aunt had also passed away, I don't know how sad the child would be. I'm afraid that's why the old commander didn't tell him about it."
The general's voice replied, "Never mind, it's actually quite good this way. They don't know that their aunt has passed away, but at least they still have the thought that she is still alive and just hasn't been found yet."
Deputy Chief of Staff Qian asked, "General, should we send a telegram to the old commander about Xiao Wang's situation?"
Chief of Staff Song's voice rang out: "Go ahead and issue it. The old commander is just stubborn. He was so happy to know that Xiao Wang is Yongzhen's nephew, but he's always so strict with Xiao Wang. Actually, the old commander values Xiao Wang a lot."
The general's voice asked, "What do you think? Should we bring Xiao Wang into our unit? If Xiao Wang is with us, we can bring him out to talk to us when we're short of supplies. The old commander can't bear to see his godson go hungry, can he?"
Wang Xingguo closed his eyes again.
His mind was in turmoil because the conversation between the general and the others had unsettled him.
So my aunt whom I never met is gone?
So, the reason my former boss took such good care of me was because of my aunt?
His mind was in turmoil, and he didn't know what to say, so he could only continue to pretend to be asleep.
The content was so shocking that Wang Xingguo couldn't believe what he was hearing.
But considering that his former boss protected him and always looked at him with disappointment whenever he made a mistake, everything seemed to make sense.
It wasn't that Wang Xingguo wanted to climb the social ladder, but he just couldn't understand why, even if his aunt was adopted by his former boss, he would be favored by her as well.
He had never even met his aunt, so to say he had any feelings for her was utter nonsense.
The feelings between people cannot be deep without spending time together. How can there be any feelings between people if they have never even met?
It's a bit sad to say. My father used to say that he wanted to find my aunt, otherwise he would be letting my grandparents down.
Who would have thought it would never be found...
Wang Xingguo originally wanted to pretend to be asleep, but he didn't need to pretend anymore. He closed his eyes and after a while, he really fell asleep again.
It took Wang Xingguo three days to recover.
The fact that the liquor was still in his backpack proved that no one had taken his things.
After thinking for a moment, he carried his backpack and went to find Chief of Staff Song.
Chief of Staff Song smiled and said, "Xiao Wang, you've only just recovered a bit and aren't completely healed yet. Why don't you rest for a couple more days before heading back?"
Wang Xingguo shook his head, pulled Chief of Staff Song aside for a moment, and couldn't help but ask, "Chief of Staff Song, can you tell me about my aunt and my former leader?"
Chief of Staff Song was stunned. He remained silent for a moment before cautiously asking, "Xiao Wang, how did you find out about this?"
Wang Xingguo pointed to his ear and explained, "Chief of Staff Song, although I was unconscious at the time, I was still somewhat conscious. I heard your conversation with the general and the others."
Chief of Staff Song slapped himself on the head, feeling extremely annoyed. Why did he have to talk about this in the hospital room? Now it's all out in the open.
After considering it for a moment, he explained softly, "After the July 7th Incident, the old leader's identity as a member of the organization was exposed, and his entire family was brutally murdered by the Japanese invaders..."
"It was around that time that the old leader, who was hiding from the Japanese devils, found a little girl in Beiping who had been separated from her family. Her name was Wang Yongzhen, and she was a little girl who was naturally brave."
"Later, after the old leader learned that his family had been killed by the Japanese, he was depressed for a long time, and Yongzhen took care of him the whole time."
"From then on, the old leader depended on her for survival, took her as his goddaughter, and carried out underground work while helping Yongzhen find her family."
"Six years later, during an operation, some comrades who could not withstand the torture betrayed the organization and gave up a restaurant that was a rendezvous point."
"Because the old leader was wanted by the Japanese invaders, he was unable to go to the safe house himself, so Yongzhen volunteered for the mission and ultimately sacrificed his life..."
"Her name is Wang Yongzhen, and she should be your aunt. Actually, these are all just our guesses, but since you said so, she must be your aunt..."
