50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 24 Moving
Given the current security situation in the city, it is really not allowed for two children to live alone.

But he was not from Lao Zhang's department, so he could only live in the compound under Lao Zhang's name. This was the reality he had to face.

"Uncle Zhang, please tell me in detail about your wife and children, otherwise it will be difficult for me to make a decision."

Now, Lao Zhang no longer treated him as a child. He would consult him about everything. It was no surprise to hear him ask about his wife and children.

"Then let me tell you something. My wife works as a farmer in the Hunan countryside and also takes care of my parents. We have two children, a son and a daughter."

"As for bringing my wife and children over, I've thought about it, but now that the land has been divided up at home, my parents are reluctant to give it up and come to Peking."

"If my parents don't want to come, my wife and children can't come either. Moreover, even if they come, the whole family won't be able to stay here. They don't have jobs, and I can't support the whole family by myself."

"This is the situation right now. My family can't come over for the time being. So, you can stay at my place first, and then move in on your own when you get a job. What do you think?"

Realizing that Lao Zhang's family really couldn't come over at the moment, Sun Zhiwei felt a lot more relieved.

He only needs a few years to transition, and when Lao Zhang's family comes to Beijing, he will be able to take his sister to live outside.

After thinking it through, Sun Zhiwei stopped being pretentious and said to Lao Zhang solemnly, "Uncle Zhang, I'll be in trouble for the next few years."

"Why are you nagging me? Next time you see me doing something stupid, just remind me. If you hadn't told me in advance this time, I don't know how big a mess I would have made, let alone a reward."

"Since it's decided, why not move today? Tomorrow is Sunday, so you can take your daughter out for a stroll in the city."

"Otherwise, my daughter will officially start school on Monday, the day after tomorrow, and we won't see each other for a week."

"Okay, my stuff here is simple anyway, and I can move it with a small car. I'll pack first, and you can help me pick up my sister."

"Okay, you take yours, I'll go get Nannan."

Seeing that Lao Zhang had gone out, Sun Zhiwei put the family's household registration, house certificate, passbook, guns and other important things into the space, and then packed all the bedding and books, making a total of 6 large bundles and a box.

Not long after, Lao Zhang brought two orderlies to help with the move.

He walked in front holding his daughter in one hand and a bundle of quilts in the other. Sun Zhiwei was in the middle carrying a box, and the orderly walked at the end with two large packages each.

A group of five people walked out of the family quarters gate, were picked up by a truck waiting at the gate, and headed straight to the security compound on East Chang'an Avenue.

With Lao Zhang's current level, he should be able to be allocated at least three rooms. However, the compound was just being built, and because of limited buildings, even the offices were scattered throughout the city, so the rooms available for accommodation were naturally even more limited.

The room that Lao Zhang was assigned now is a large room of 20 square meters, which he divided into two rooms.

The inner room was filled with two single beds, a desk and a cabinet, which were for Sun Zhiwei and his sister; the outer room had a large wooden bed and a table, and Lao Zhang's clothes and books were placed at the foot of the bed.

This will be where they live from now on. Of course, the little girl is usually in kindergarten and only comes back one day a week.

The brother and sister's household registration has been temporarily placed with Lao Zhang, and now they can go directly to the cafeteria to eat every day.

All the luggage was put into the inner room. Lao Zhang sent them there and then went back to work. Sun Zhiwei began to organize clothes, bedding and books, while Nannan stood by and helped and made things worse with a smile.

Once the bedding is made, it will be too late to do anything else. Well, I might as well go shopping today. If I don't make arrangements for this girl, I won't be able to clean the room. If I want to go out, I need someone to accompany me, otherwise, given the current situation outside, it's really not suitable for a child to go out alone.

However, the first thing he did was not to call anyone, but to take his daughter to the logistics department. He wanted to get two sets of small military uniforms, one for himself and one for his sister.

Whether now or in the future, military uniforms are universal clothing and there will be no problem wearing them at any time.

When they arrived at the logistics department, they were greeted by a short, fat man with a smile on his face. Before he even introduced his name, the fat man already knew who they were.

You know what, since that performance in the cafeteria, Nannan is now more famous than him, and she can be seen everywhere in the security compound.

"Nannan, what are you doing here with your brother today?"

"Uncle, I want to buy two sets of military uniforms, one for me and one for my sister. How much do you need?"

"Zhiwei, right? Your relationship has been transferred. Clothing is supplied. There is a set of clothing rations every year and every season. Do you want to get the military uniform?"

"Yes, uncle, military uniforms look the best. Can we buy two more sets? We need to change and wash them. Children's clothes get dirty quickly."

"How can you, a kid, get the money? I'll give you two more sets. I'll just get them to sign later."

"Thank you, uncle. I want to buy two gun belts and a gun holster."

"You guys don't have any belts, Luo. Two are 1 yuan. But what do you want holsters for?"

"Put on the holster to protect my sister and deter the scoundrels."

"Hahaha, you're ambitious. Okay, I'll sell one to you for 1 yuan."

Sun Zhiwei happily paid the money, received four sets of clothes from the fat boy, and then ran back to the house excitedly.

The brother and sister put on their new uniforms, caps, and belts, and the feeling came out immediately. Sun Zhiwei looked heroic, and Nannan looked even more adorable with the two pigtails that Aunt Wang had tied for him.

Sun Zhiwei put the holster on his belt and inserted a flower-mouth pistol into it. Because this type of gun is small, it is not very conspicuous when inserted into the holster.

After finishing his preparations, he put on a canvas backpack and went out with his sister. When they arrived at the guardhouse, they said they wanted to go out to buy something.

The squad leader on duty came out after hearing the news. Hey, it was an acquaintance. It was actually Squad Leader Luo who was in charge of security in the team entering the city. He has now been promoted to platoon leader.

"Hello, Uncle Luo."

"Zhiwei, where are you taking Nannan?"

"Uncle Luo and Uncle Zhang are busy, so the house is empty. There are many things to buy, so I'll take my sister out for a walk. We'll stay nearby and come back after we finish shopping."

"Indeed, Old Zhang doesn't know how to live. He lives like a bachelor. You'll be in trouble if you follow him."

"Okay, I'll let a soldier follow you and help you get your things." Although Platoon Leader Luo was promoted, he was still responsible for security tasks, and the protection of family members when they went out was also within his protection range.
