Siheyuan: Fighting against Japanese Aggression in Beijing

The next day, as soon as Li Kangri got up and put on his clothes, Xiao Liu knocked on the door.

After opening the door, Xiao Liu, dressed in plain clothes, walked in and said, "Anti-Japanese, the commander has already contacted you, pack up and follow me."

"Oh, did he say anything else?"

"The commander said to listen more and talk less, and try not to reveal his identity. Oh, I almost forgot, this is the martyr's certificate, and this is the bag the commander gave you."

As he spoke, Xiao Liu took out a red certificate from his pocket and handed it to Li Kangri.

"Okay, I understand. I don't have anything to pack. Let's go now!" Li Kangri said indifferently.

"Well, can you change your clothes? The leader said that there are clothes prepared for you in the bag. It's too much for you to look like this!" Xiao Liu said as he put the bag on the table in the room.

"Change clothes? You feel ashamed, right?" Li Kangri looked at Xiao Liu straight and said.

"Well, I think that although outsiders don't know your relationship with the chief, but, you are a little too...

"That's too shameful, right? You don't understand. Nowadays, the poorer you are, the more glorious it is. Besides, I don't steal, rob, visit prostitutes or gamble. I'm also an excellent college student. My family has been farmhands for three generations. There is nothing to be ashamed of." Li Kangri said proudly.

"Okay! Just forget I said anything!" Xiao Liu said speechlessly.

O(n_n)O

When I went out, a green jeep was already waiting at the door.

In the car, Xiao Liu was puzzled by the calm Li Kangri. He remembered how excited he was when he first got on the little green car.

"Kangri, have you ridden this car before?"

"Why do you ask?" Li Kangri asked puzzledly.

"How come you're not excited at all? It was my first time riding this and I was so excited for days!"

"Oh, this one! I've sat on it a long time ago. My grandfather is a famous village chief in our area. The county governor even came down to praise him! So I've sat on this big butt before." Li Kangri boasted.

After a while, the green train arrived at a factory. After getting off the train, Li Kangri saw several big red words on the door: [Red Star Steel Rolling Mill].

"Why does this name sound so familiar?" Li Kangri thought.

Just when Li Kangri was distracted, a hearty voice came over, "Liu Dachui, I miss you so much. Tell me how long it has been since you came to see us old brothers." As he said that, he hit Xiao Liu with a hammer.

After responding, Xiao Liu immediately said, "Old Ye is busy, I'll take a day off this Sunday, and we can have a good get-together then. I have something to do today! Did the chief call you?"

"We have fought, isn't it? It's just about arranging for the descendants of the martyrs! The chief asked me to take him to see Director Li of the Logistics Department. He has already made arrangements with the higher-ups." Ye Fusheng said carelessly.

Seeing Ye Fusheng's indifferent look, Xiao Liu whispered a few words in his ear, and he immediately became cautious.

"Anti-Japanese, right? Come on, I'll take you to see Director Li!"

After saying that, he secretly glanced at Li Kangri and thought to himself, "Really? They look at least 80% alike. I thought so! He even called me specially."

Soon they arrived at the door of an office.

After knocking on the door and announcing my name, a bald man with a big back immediately opened the door, "Come in, come in quickly, I've been waiting for you!"

The bald man quickly glanced around and locked his eyes on Li Kangri. "You are Li Kangri, right?"

"Yes, I am Li Kangri!"

"Oh, young man, you look very energetic. I am Li Huaide, the logistics director of the steel rolling mill. Come and sit down, let's talk!" Li Huaide said politely.

"Li Huaide? That's strange, why does he look so familiar? Where have I seen him before?" Li Kangri asked puzzledly.

"Chief Ye, my old man told me that he wants to arrange Xiao Li to the Security Department. Is there a vacant position of deputy section chief in your department now? Xiao Li is the orphan of a martyr and a college student. He must be given a good position, right?" Li Huaide said to Li Kangri with a smile on his face.

It seemed as if he was asking about Li Kangri, not Ye Fusheng.

"Yes, we are just short of a deputy section chief." Ye Fusheng said speechlessly.

He was disgusted by Li Huaide's pretending. Isn't he just the leader's son away? Why is he pretending? Besides, don't you know whether the security department is short of people?

But what he didn't know was that Li Huaide didn't know Li Kangri's identity at all. He was so polite because his father-in-law told him again and again to make sure to make good arrangements for this child.

"That's good. As for the salary, Xiao Li has a college degree, so we will use the third-level salary standard, which is 48 yuan a month. With the subsidy for the deputy section chief, it will be 53 yuan for now! Xiao Li, are you satisfied with the salary?" Li Huaide said to Li Kangri with a smile.

"Thank you, Director Li. I just graduated. It's good enough for me to have a job to contribute to the country. It's OK as long as the salary is enough." Li Kangri said politely.

"Well, OK, it's settled. I'll report to Director Yang later. Xiao Li, do you need any other help? To be honest, we were a family five hundred years ago." Li Huaide said with a smile.

"Director Li, I really have something to trouble you with. I may have to go home again. My sister is still at home. I want to bring her over. Do you think I can go back to work in a month?" Li Kangri asked.

"No problem, these are just small things. Is one month enough? If not, we can talk about it!"

"Enough, enough. If it's fast, I'll be back soon. Thank you, Director Li!" Li Kangri said embarrassedly.

"Thank you, Director Li. I still need to take Kang Ri to find a place to live, so I won't bother you any more." Xiao Liu said.

"Okay, you guys go ahead and do your work. If you need help, just come find me."

"Okay, Director Li, you're busy!"

"Goodbye, Director Li!" Li Kangri greeted with a smile.

Soon the two left the steel mill and came to the street office.

"Kangri, please tell Director Wang about your requirements for the house later. Don't worry, the leader has already informed him." Xiao Liu instructed at the door.

"Ok!"

After saying that, the two of them came to the door of an office. The door was not closed. Li Kangri tilted his head and glanced inside. He saw a middle-aged woman who was looking down at a newspaper and drinking water from a large teacup in her hand.

"Bang bang bang!"

The woman looked up and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"Director Wang, this is Xiao Liu. I have something to talk to you about. Did you receive the call this morning?" Xiao Liu asked.

"Oh, Li Kangri, right? Come in and talk." Director Wang immediately stood up and said politely.

"Director Wang, he is Li Kangri. The leader asked me to bring him to you." Xiao Liu said with a smile.

"Oh, Xiao Li, right? Hello, hello!" Director Wang said politely.

As he spoke, he extended his right hand as if to shake hands.

Seeing this, Li Kangri immediately reached out his hand and shook it gently, saying, "Director Wang, I am Li Kangri."

"Okay, okay, I've been notified by my superiors. They told me to make sure you get a good place to live. Did you bring the martyr's certificate? Let me see it!"

"Bring it!"

Li Kangri took out the martyr certificate and handed it to Director Wang.

"Anti-Japanese heroes, that's great. Your ancestors sacrificed their lives for the motherland. We must make sure to place you well. Tell us! Who else is in your family?" Director Wang said politely.

"There are grandparents, a mother and a younger sister in my family, plus me and my future wife, a total of six people." Li Kangri counted with his fingers.

"Well, there are a lot of people, so the house must be bigger. You guys sit down first, I'll find it for you!"
