There is also spring for passers-by

She said "Oh" and took out a piece of paper. This was a photocopy she made. The colorful red seal was very realistic. There was no such thing as a photocopy at that time. "Donate the money, even if it is to contribute to the country and the people, it is in your name."

Zhao Wenjin took the list and asked, "Have you donated everything?"

"do you have any opinion?"

"No, I'm just curious how you knew each other?"

"I didn't know her, I figured it out, then I stopped someone at the intersection, gave her the check, and asked her to write a note."

His sister became more and more weird, but Wei Sufen always treated Wen Wan with awe. She treated her not like a daughter but more like a husband. Or rather, she just had a very strange feeling for him. As long as Wen Wan said something, Wei Sufen never objected because it represented her husband's opinion.

Zhao Wenjin carefully put the note away and said, "Next time you go out, say hello first."

"I told you, I told Mom."

Zhao Wenjin scratched his head and said, "Mom is cooking."

"Write a few words."

"What? I asked you to write a few big words on a piece of paper, and you wrote 'stinky eggs'."

After dinner, Wen Wan handed Wei Sufen a piece of paper with the four big words "Stinky Fen Egg" written on it.

Wei Sufen blushed, "Your dad even told you my childhood nickname."

Wen Wan glanced at him and continued mumbling, "At a quarter past noon, go three miles outside the south gate of Spring City. There's a big banyan tree there, and next to it there's a big, crooked apple tree. Stand under the apple tree, wave this paper, and shout 'Stinky Eggman' as you do so."

Zhao Wenjin asked: "Why?"

Wen Wan said, "My uncle and his family fled the disaster. They've all changed a lot. All the refugees look the same. If Mom doesn't wave the paper and shout, who would know who she's calling if she calls out 'brother'? If she calls out 'Choufendanzi', grandma, uncle, and aunt would all hear it. If brother wants to go, bring some water and some soft steamed buns and wait for him. You have to be there before 12:00. If you miss him, it'll be hard for you to find him..."

Wei Sufen looked at the words on the paper, her face flushing every time she read them. "Second Master is so mean. He even told the child such a thing. How can he live his life in the future?"

Zhao Wenjin said, "Mom, if you call me that, people will think you are calling me cousin. Who can call me by such a name?"

"Your aunt gave me this name when we had a fight when we were kids. Once she called it that, everyone else started to imitate it."

But the little girl with whom she quarreled when they were young married her eldest brother and became her sister-in-law.

Wei Sufen was busy all afternoon, preparing hot tea and water, and steamed buns, and took her son to the place Wen Wan had mentioned to wait for someone. They arrived before 3:00 PM, and when they called out, someone looked over. The old lady of the Wei family sat trembling on a wheelbarrow, being pushed by her son Wei Shuping and her eldest grandson Wei Changan. The wheelbarrow also contained the family's belongings.

When I met the person, I burst into tears and hugged my head.

Standing under the shade of the tree, I watched my family members eating hot tea and hot steamed buns. Some people came to ask for water and steamed buns. Each family member was given two steamed buns, and the rest were distributed by Wei Sufen to the refugees. However, there were no more later, and they did not ask for them again.

Grandma Wei was widowed early in life, leaving behind only a son and a daughter. She was a wealthy family in Jiangnan, with over a hundred acres of fertile land and a staff of servants. But now, as a family, they had left everything behind to escape the war. They fled with their son, daughter-in-law, and four grandchildren, enduring immense hardship along the way.

Fortunately, they had made all the necessary preparations before leaving, and several people from the same town came out together, but some of them had already found relatives and friends and did not leave, so only their family walked all the way to Chuncheng.

Grandma Wei's family came. The small house was spacious for the family of three before, but it seemed crowded with the arrival of these people.

Grandma Wei first lived in the same room with Wei Sufen.

The utility room on the east side was cleaned up and a simple wooden bed was built, and a wooden bed was also built in the warehouse on the west side.

Zhao Wenjin shared a room with his two cousins ​​from the Wei family. Uncle Wei and Aunt Wei slept in the warehouse, and his two cousins ​​lived in the utility room.

When the Wei family came over, they already knew what was going on.

They looked at Wen Wan with awe, and no one dared to sleep in the same room with her, just in case their uncle came up from below to look for Wen Wan...

The little girl was so frightened that her heart was trembling. She didn't dare to think about it. It was better to let her live alone.

The youngest, Wei Honglian, was very curious, "Cousin, does your uncle often come to see you?"

Wen Wan looked at her.

Wei Honglian immediately changed her tone, "Cousin, I don't want to see my uncle at all. Just let him find you. Really, I don't want to live in the same room with you..."

Grandma Wei yelled, "Shut up!" "This is what people in the north call offering sacrifices to a spirit medium. Your uncle is a man of loyalty and righteousness. Stop your nonsense."

Wen Wan was too lazy to explain because it was too confusing.

Three grown men came to the house and quickly cleaned up the utility room and the warehouse. They used local materials to divide the utility room into two rooms, creating an extra room. They moved the firewood in the room to the bathroom, and then separated the bathroom partitions and miscellaneous items. They piled them neatly under the eaves, which was neat and did not affect the appearance.

There were three more rooms on the east side: two cousins ​​lived in one room, two cousins ​​lived in one room, and the smaller room was given to Zhao Wenjin. The room Zhao Wenjin had previously given to his uncle and aunt.

Wen Wan called them to talk, drew a pattern of a food stall cart, and asked her uncle who was good at carpentry to make it according to the pattern. She also instructed her aunt and cousin to make snacks, and prepared to let them push the food stall out to sell.

She taught her aunt and cousin how to sell snacks, which was quite successful, with business coming in on the first day.

She took her two cousins ​​to a flour mill to apply for a job. When she arrived, the woman in the pink cheongsam had a bright look in her eyes. "Zhao Banxian, are you here to apply for a job?"

"This is my cousin from my uncle's family. He wants to find a job to help support the family."

"This factory belongs to me. I'll just say hello to them and start working tomorrow."

"The old lady is taking care of me."

This is the person who didn’t take out the gift I prepared last time.

Wen Wan nodded. "Madam, please hurry to the east gate before noon tomorrow morning and stand next to the stone tablet. Remember to hold up a sign with the words 'A string of turtles' written on it and go pick them up. As you pick them up, shout 'A string of turtles, I'm here to pick you up!'"

The wife's cheeks flushed.

Wen Wan said, "Why are you embarrassed? Your biological father isn't mad at you. 'A string of turtles' is his catchphrase. Just go and answer it. If you don't, all the refugees will look the same. How can you tell who your father is? When you go, take the pills your father always hears about, and some honey water. Whoever faints will be given honey water."

The wife felt ashamed. She went to answer the call, but she didn't write anything or call out, and she didn't see anyone until dusk.

She was very anxious and went to Zhao's house overnight.

Wen Wan shook her head. "Alas, I asked you to prepare honey water to save people. It means someone in your family is dying. Go to the Red Cross Hospital now and ask the nurse. You can find them by telling them your mother's name."

"What happened to my mother?"

"You've been wandering all the way, and you've suffered so much. Your body is weak, and as soon as you saw Spring City, you fell ill. If you just do what I say today, you won't have to endure this suffering. Go find her now."
