Hearing that Anxi was going to pay homage to Anshu's parents at the Martyrs Cemetery in Beijing, Li Dawei showed great enthusiasm, and repeatedly said that he would help him make arrangements, whether it was a train ticket or accommodation on the road.

I don’t know how many times I’ve been to Anxi, the capital city, but the capital city in the future is completely different from the current capital city. Except for those landmark buildings, it must be different everywhere.

But this is not a problem for Anxi, after so many years of travelling, he is not troubled by this small problem, it is just Uncle Li's kindness, but Anxi refuses, so he has to agree.

The transportation in this era is inconvenient, and this place is located in the south. There are planes and high-speed trains in the future, and it can be done in a few hours.

But now, let alone a direct train, there are two trains and three buses on the way. It's such a toss-up, it's too challenging.

Fortunately, Anxi has internal strength and good physical fitness. He didn't bring much. He set off with a bag on his back. Most of the food and water in it were enough to satisfy his hunger.

I only brought a set of clothes for a temporary change, and I will just buy them when I go to the capital.

Because it was New Year's Eve, tickets were extremely difficult to sell. Even if Uncle Li came forward, he could only buy a hard seat, but as long as there was a seat, he could have a little rest at night.

After the new year, on the fifth day of the first lunar month, Anxi set off, first went to Li's house to get the bus ticket and letter of introduction.

This letter of introduction was also arranged by Uncle Li alone, and it lasted for half a year. This was the longest time allowed to go out except for business trips.

Anxi didn't understand why Uncle Li took so long to get him a letter of introduction just to pay homage to Anshu's parents in the capital.

You know, this is very difficult. Not only do you need to ask carefully what you are doing and where you are going, but you also need someone to guarantee you in the local area.

In case of investigation, the guarantor must go out.

That is to say, the letter of introduction that Anxi is holding must have someone living in the capital as Anxi's guarantee, and it must have a certain identity.

Sure enough, Li Dawei took out a large package, which contained three small packages, and each package had a note on it, indicating which family it was delivered to.

"This is for the old regiment leader. He was the immediate boss of your dad and me back then. He took us with us when we were recruits. He treated us very well. After your dad died, he was still thinking about it." You. You must visit him this time when you go to the capital. The old man is over 70 this year, and his health is about to die. , I can't let it go, you go and see him, so that he can feel at ease."

Li Dawei pointed to one of the burdens and explained to Anxi that thinking about the physical condition of his old boss, he was also worried, but he was really helpless.

Those of them who were soldiers didn't have many injuries on their bodies. The old man was able to last for so long, which is already very good. Most of them can't do it in their forties or fifties.

All we can do now is to satisfy the old man's wishes as much as possible, so that he has no regrets and can leave with peace of mind.

Anxi listened silently, and nodded solemnly when he was done, he will definitely go!

This is a soldier who defends the country and deserves everyone's respect. Anxi will try his best to do what he can do for them, let alone such a trivial matter.

Moreover, he also knows medicine, and he thinks that his medical skills are not bad. If he can cure the old man, it will be a good thing.

"This is for your Aunt Wang. She and your mother are both field nurses. They have a very good relationship. They came here together at the beginning. I have asked me for news about you over the years. Unfortunately, I have no news at all. She was disappointed again and again. Since you came back, I sent her a letter, and she wanted to come and see you immediately. But she encountered such a thing and couldn't help herself. Her husband was framed and became Backward element. She was denounced along with her husband, and has been reforming in a farm on the outskirts of the capital. I don’t know about others, but I can see that you are bold and careful, and you are definitely not afraid of breaking taboos. See you, Aunt Wang, back then your two families wanted to form a family, if you could take your Aunt Wang's daughter, it would fulfill the original agreement, hahaha."

Anxi's head is full of black lines, is this the shadow of urging marriage that can't be escaped anywhere?

Seeing him like this, Li Dawei laughed and nodded at him, "It's a pity, it's a pity, at that time their family also gave birth to a boy, but a girl behind them, now they are sixteen or seventeen, so it's just right for you!"

"Uncle Li, you are joking, you have a bad reputation for other girls." Anxi was helpless, but he did not expect Uncle Li to be so gossip-loving.

On the contrary, it was Aunt Li, who gave her husband a blank look, and said to Anxi, "Don't pay attention to him, he is a big man who likes to talk about his parents and his family all day long. In front of outsiders, he pretends to be a gangster. Li, but I don’t like to hear such gossip.”

Aunt Li is indeed very speechless to her husband. Tell me, a big man who was a soldier who defended his home and country actually imitated those mothers-in-law and mothers. He loves to talk about these things. .

At least he also knows how to save face and not speak indiscriminately in front of outsiders.

Anxi also understood that Uncle Li would joke with him so casually, it was an expression of being close to him and treating him as his nephew, so he didn't shy away from revealing his true nature.

Seeing him being humiliated by Aunt Li, she quickly helped to change the subject, "What about the rest?"

"Oh, this one is for your aunt's natal family. I need you to run an errand. Your aunt's natal relatives are all workers in the No. [-] Machinery Factory in Beijing. I wrote the address here." Come on, it's normal to ask relatives to help you bring things.

Anxi didn't hesitate, okay, no problem at all, he has great strength, so it's a trivial matter to bring this little thing.

After explaining clearly, Anxi wrote down the addresses of the three families, and An Tao's husband, Li Jiandang, sent them to the bus station and started the two-day and one-night journey.

Anxi wasn't tired during the bumpy journey, but it was inevitable that he would be disheartened. The key point was that he couldn't use his internal strength to protect himself. Otherwise, compared with the people around him, it would seem strange that he was so clean and bright that he was out of place.

This age is still very sensitive to such things, especially outside, it's better to be careful.

So when Anxi arrived in the capital, the first thing he did was to find a guest house, take a bath first, then have a good meal, and finally have a good sleep.

Although the facilities of the guest house in this era are simple, they have everything that should be available, such as toilets, water heaters, and kettles, and they are also clean.

Anxi feels that it is relatively clean, so for the price that is higher than the average level, he feels that the value for money is excellent.

Anxi made a reservation for three days, and made plans after visiting the three families.

There is no hurry over the Martyrs Cemetery. Since they are here specially, they can't just take a quick look and leave.

Moreover, Li Dawei took great pains to get a letter of introduction for Anxi for half a year, and secretly hoped that Anxi could stay for a while longer to accompany Anshu's deceased parents.

After all, An Shu had never been there since their sacrifice.

Anxi accepted his favor and planned to stay in the capital for a while, and if possible, buy himself a yard.

He didn't intend to pick it up, and the courtyards in this era are not so comfortable to live in. Not to mention crowded, they are all old. Basically, every household has demolished the east wall to make up the west wall, and cleaned it up with him in Xiahe Village. The new house is nothing like that.

And those spacious and well-preserved houses are not what Anxi, who has no background and not enough money, can imagine.

Anxi is mainly planning for the future. He plans to come to the capital to study at a university by himself after the resumption of the college entrance examination, so as to learn more things, which may be useful in the future.

For convenience, I was thinking of buying a house because I could have a place to stay in the capital.

Early the next morning, Anxi went to the shopping mall first, bought some melon and fruit snacks, took Uncle Li's package, and then went to the First Machinery Factory.

Aunt Li's surname is Yang, her parents are no longer alive, and there is only one older brother in her natal family. Brother Yang has three sons and a daughter. Except for the youngest son and daughter who went to the countryside to become educated youths, the other two sons are married and have children of their own.

Brother Yang's son and daughter-in-law both work in the machinery factory, so the two sons were allocated houses and did not live with them.

When Anxi came to visit, only Aunt Li's sister-in-law was there in the Yang family. She was a warm and cheerful person, and she was very happy to hear Anxi's intentions.

"Ah, you are my niece and daughter-in-law's natal brother. You are so handsome. You don't say anything when you come to the capital. I will let my boy pick you up. Tell me about my sister-in-law, who asked you to take such a heavy I don’t know how to say hello, so I can make arrangements. Young man, where do you live, or you can live at the aunt’s house, don’t worry, the aunt’s house can live, and I will live in the room of my third boy. If you're not here after going to the countryside, you will live in Anxi's heart, so don't be polite to us."

Aunt Yang spoke like a machine gun, chattering a lot without waiting for Anxi's answer.

Anxi wanted to interrupt several times, but she didn't interrupt her.

But her voice was so loud, and within a few words, the people around heard it, and they all came out to watch, looking at Anxi as if they were looking at some new species.

Anxi was helpless, and then raised a smiling face to greet the people around him.

Later, Aunt Yang seemed to notice that everyone was watching her lively, and waved her hands indifferently, "Go back, everyone, my house has guests today, and I will chat with you later."

Anxi handed her the gift she had brought and the package prepared by the Li family, and she chatted with her for a while.

She inquired about the situation of Aunt Li's family, obviously very concerned about her sister-in-law's family, Anxi patiently answered them one by one.

As we talked, before we knew it, it was already noon.

Anxi hurriedly got up to leave, but Aunt Yang refused to let her go and insisted on Anxi staying for dinner.

Anxi made an excuse that he had an appointment with a friend to have dinner at a state-run restaurant at noon, and he had already agreed with his friend that he would rent their house for the next six months, and the rent had already been paid.

After exhausting her words, Anxi persuaded Aunt Yang to leave the Yang family.

Anxi thinks that he is eloquent, but now he is not sure, it depends on who he talks to!

Still have to temper!
