Chapter 2175 In the courtyard house, the old man is the king.
Xiao Hua was starving, but the little girl still looked at her grandfather first.
"Little Flower, take this! Quickly thank the uncle and comrade for giving the child some food. We've been begging our way here... Little Flower hasn't eaten anything all day!"
After getting her grandfather's permission, Xiaohua looked at Lin Chen with tears streaming down her face.
"Thank you, Uncle! Can I exchange this for a cornbread?"
Xiaohua has never eaten candy, let alone milk candy. Right now, all the little girl wants is a steamed bun to share with her grandpa…
Lin Chen thought to himself, "You guys are really something, coming all this way to Beijing. Did you guys set off after Wang Tiedan entered Beijing?!"
"You'll get some steamed buns when you get to the Wang family. I'm in charge of this courtyard. Go to the Wang family to meet your relatives first. I have other things to do. We can talk about it when I get back tomorrow."
Baozhu's father thanked him immediately after hearing this, because Lin Chen's attire clearly indicated that he was not an ordinary person.
"Thank you, comrade! Thank you!"
Lin Chen peeled a piece of milk candy and put it into Xiao Hua's mouth.
"This will fill you up just as much, you guys go quickly!"
After thanking them repeatedly, the grandfather and grandson entered the courtyard house.
Watching the grandfather and granddaughter enter the courtyard, Lin Chen also hurried to Guanhu Garden. Now that Xiao Hua had arrived in the capital, there was no rush to deal with her.
Xiao Hua is a girl who would be irresistible to anyone. Wang Tiedan and his wife definitely won't take her in... so they'll just have her go to school with Yan Jiedi.
The three aunts couldn't stay with their daughters all the time, so it was just right for Xiaohua and Xiaojie to live together.
Lin Chen had just cured Baozhu's father's illness without any physical contact, as a way of thanking him for bringing Xiaohua all the way to Beijing.
At this moment, the grandfather and granddaughter turned around and watched Lin Chen's departing figure. Xiao Hua raised her hand and handed all the candies to her grandfather.
"Grandpa, you eat! Xiaohua isn't hungry anymore! This is really delicious, you should try it."
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen paused for a moment before continuing towards his car...
"Little Flower, eat up! We've met some good people today! Eat up... this is good stuff."
The father and son had been begging their way here; if it weren't for Baozhu's father taking them in, Xiaohua would have starved to death in Xinjiang long ago…
The old man is in poor health now! He just wants to find a place for Xiaohua to eat before he passes away, so that he can fulfill his wish. They have looked in many places, and now their only hope is the Wang family.
After making inquiries around, they learned that Xiaohua had an uncle in Beijing. The grandmother and granddaughter then set off to find him…
Wang Family Doorway
When Yan Jiekuang brought the grandfather and grandson to the Wang family, Wang Tiedan and his wife were stunned.
This guy is naturally inclined to fawn over the powerful and belittle the weak. He'll welcome any powerful relative, even visiting them personally. But as for relatives who are so poor they have nothing to eat, he truly doesn't want to acknowledge them…
Since Wang Tiedan entered the courtyard house, he has had several "godfathers," and everyone in the courtyard knows who he is.
"Old comrade, who are you? I don't even know you. Don't try to claim kinship with me..."
Wang Tiedan came directly from Inner Mongolia to Beijing; how could he possibly know Baozhu's father from Xinjiang?
The old man pulled Xiaohua forward a few steps: "Comrade Wang, it's normal that you don't recognize me. You know Wang Ximei, right? This child is hers. Years ago, your sister entrusted this child to me. Now my health is deteriorating day by day, and it's already a miracle that I've made it to Beijing."
Wang Tiedan has an older sister named Wang Ximei, who ran away with a stranger ten years ago! She lost all contact with the Wang family after that…
"Little Flower, quickly call him Uncle!"
For the past two years, Baozhu's father has been running around looking for someone to adopt Xiaohua, but none of his uncles, aunts, or cousins have been willing. Although Xiaohua didn't have any hope for this uncle, she still called out to him.
“Uncle! I eat very little, just one cornbread a day is enough. I can also wash clothes and gather firewood... I don’t go to school and I don’t spend any money.”
Elsewhere, Xiaohua might have had some hope. But this is No. 95 Courtyard; nobody wants to support someone who isn't their own child. After all, this child doesn't have a food ration, and raising her would mean the rest of the family would have to eat less.
"No, no, no, who knows if what you're saying is true or false. I do have an older sister named Wang Ximei, but that doesn't prove you're my sister's child. How about this, I'll send a telegram back to my hometown tomorrow to ask, and who knows if you're imposters."
Upon hearing this, Baozhu's father coughed violently. Beijing was Xiaohua's last hope. If they didn't take her in here, the child would starve to death after he died.
“Comrade Wang, we’ve been to your hometown. Your parents are old and unable to support you, which is why we’ve come to you. Don’t worry, I’m an old man and you don’t need to take care of me. I still need to find a way back. Just give Xiaohua something to eat…”
As more and more people gathered, Wang Tiedan still refused to let the grandfather and grandson in. At this point, Baozhu's father had no choice but to bring out the young man he had seen at the gate.
"Comrade Wang, we just ran into the person in charge of your compound at the main gate. He said that if we went to the Wang family, we would have a meal, and he also told us to wait for him until tomorrow morning when he would come and take care of it."
At this moment, Liu Erpang and Xu Quede exchanged a glance... They had originally come to watch the commotion, but the old comrade had brought up Brother Lin. Now things were getting interesting!
In a traditional courtyard house, the old man is the boss...
“Wang Tiedan, since Brother Lin said he’ll wait for him to come back tomorrow, why don’t you let your niece in first? She should be given a good meal, and Xiaohua can squeeze in with your Dandan. As for the older comrades, they can go to Qi Weiyi’s place; we’re a civilized compound, there’s no reason to kick out relatives…”
If Baozhu's father didn't bring up Lin Chen, Liu Erpang wouldn't want to interfere in the Wang family's private affairs. But since Brother Lin said he'd wait for him to return, he couldn't let Wang Tiedan drive the grandfather and grandson away. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to explain himself when Brother Lin returned tomorrow.
Xu Quede and He Daqing also stepped forward to persuade Wang Tiedan to take him in, saying they would discuss everything tomorrow.
At this moment, Ji Cheng and Zhao Lichun also advised Wang Tiedan to take in his niece first, since the old man already knew about it.
"Alright then! Let's do as Old Liu says. We'll discuss it again tomorrow when Uncle Yi comes back..."
Only after much persuasion did Wang Tiedan and his wife finally let Xiaohua in. The old man had promised that once she entered the yard, she would be fed. This wasn't a joke; if Wang Tiedan dared not provide food, the others would have to take her home, and if the old man returned tomorrow, things would be very serious.
When Baozhu's father saw that everyone was advising the Wang family to take in Xiaohua after he mentioned the young man, he realized how important the young man he had just met was in the courtyard.
"Thank you, Comrade Wang, thank you!"

Seven o'clock in the evening
Tong Zhi and Da Zhuang sneaked out of the small restaurant.
They had arranged to meet Jia Zhangshi at eight o'clock, and they needed to arrive an hour early to scout the location. It's always good to be cautious; they were also worried that Jia Zhangshi might try something.
Tong Zhi secretly led Da Zhuang to hide outside the alley...
"Da Zhuang, look, this is it!"
