"Uncle Liu, you don't have to blame yourself. All of this was caused by enemy agents. I hope our country will get rid of enemy agents as soon as possible, otherwise more of us will die at their hands in the future." Chen Xiaolin didn't know if the original owner would blame Liu. Commander, but Chen Xiaolin doesn't blame him. Someone has to do this task, and someone will sacrifice in the end. If it wasn't her father, it would be someone else. This is the mission of a soldier. She thought, her father would not regret dying for the country!

"Xiaolin, you are a good child. What are your plans next? How about I help you apply for a job?" Mr. Liu plans to find connections to arrange a job for Chen Xiaolin so that she can learn to support herself.

"My father asked me to go back to my hometown. I have packed my things and will leave in two days. I still have these two thousand yuan. Uncle Liu, please help me return it to those uncles." Chen Xiaolin put the two thousand yuan in the bag A thousand dollars was taken out.

"Just take what they give you! This is all their intention. When you leave, I will buy you a sleeper." Mr. Liu saw that Chen Xiaolin had her own plans, and he felt relieved. I'm afraid that Chen Xiaolin is still living in the past.

"You know I'm not short of money, so you'd better give it back to them! I accept their kindness." Chen Xiaolin put down the money and planned to leave. After all, she had something to do later.

"Okay! By the way, you haven't packed up the things in your father's family home yet? I forgot to tell you that day." Mr. Liu suddenly remembered that Chen Dazhu also had a house in the family home, but he didn't live there often. That's all.

"Then I'll go over and pack things up later." Chen Xiaolin actually planned to come over today to help the original owner's father pack things, so she brought all the keys.

Chen Xiaolin stayed at Mr. Liu's house for a while, refused Mr. Liu and his wife's invitation to stay, and went to Chen Dazhu's house in the family courtyard alone.

When Chen Dazhu first divided the house, he wanted a bungalow according to Cheng Xin's wishes.

Chen Xiaolin opened the door and saw a large yard with a dilapidated grape trellis and a small swing under the grape trellis.

There is also a peach tree in the yard, which was planted when Chen Xiaolin was born. More than ten years have passed, and this peach tree is still full of peaches.

Chen Xiaolin picked one from the tree, wiped it with her clothes and stuffed it into her mouth.

Well, it tastes really good. Chen Xiaolin planned to pick all the peaches and give them to the neighbors in the family home later.

After Chen Xiaolin finished eating the peaches, she went to the well to get a bucket of water and washed her hands before going in to pack her things.

There was nothing left in the room where Chen Xiaolin slept when she was a child, leaving only an empty bed and a large wardrobe.

The kitchen is also empty. Chen Dazhu usually sleeps here alone. He is too lazy to cook. Anyway, there is food in the dining hall.

Today, Chen Xiaolin mainly tidied up the room of Chen Dazhu and his wife. As long as Cheng Xin has time, she stays at home in the city to accompany Chen Xiaolin, so she doesn't have too many things here.

Chen Xiaolin found a clean snakeskin bag, packed Chen Dazhu's clothes and put them in it. As for the quilt, she didn't want it. She would ask her neighbor if she wanted it later!

Chen Xiaolin also found a photo of a family of three on her desk.

Chen Xiaolin looked at the family of three smiling so happily in the photo, and hoped that the family of three could continue to live happily down there.

Chen Xiaolin put the photos in the space. She planned to make a memorial tablet for their family of three when she had time, and secretly burn some paper money for them during the New Year and holidays.

After Chen Xiaolin packed her things, she found a pair of scissors and two large backpacks and went to the yard to pick peaches.

When she finished picking the fruits below and wanted to pick the top of the tree, she happened to look back and saw several little boys standing at the door, watching secretly.

"Do you want to eat peaches?" Chen Xiaolin saw the six sallow-looking children in front of her secretly swallowing, and she knew they were greedy for peaches.

"Sister, let's help you pick the top of the tree. Can you give each of us a peach?" Zhao Lin was playing with several of his younger brothers at the door today, and happened to see the elder sister of Captain Chen's family at the door. Pick peaches. It had been a long time since they had eaten fruit, but his father wouldn't let him eat other people's food, so he thought he could help with the work and try some peaches instead.

"If you want to eat, just come and get it yourself. Sister can just pick it by herself. I don't need your help." How dare Chen Xiaolin use child labor! The peach trees were not very good anyway, so she could just move a table and pick them herself.

"My dad said you can't just eat other people's food. I'm very good at climbing trees. Just let me help!" Zhao Lin looked at the peaches in the basket. What if he really wanted to eat them?

"That's right! Sister, can you just let us help?" Fang Aijun, who was a head shorter than Zhao Lin, was already drooling.

Several other children also nodded quickly, fearing that Chen Xiaolin would not let them help if it was too late.

"Then I'll pick it at the top, and you guys can pick it up at the bottom, okay?" Chen Xiaolin looked at the six pairs of expectant eyes in front of her. She couldn't say no.

"Okay!" The six children all grinned happily.

It took Chen Xiaolin and six children another ten minutes to finish picking the peaches.

This peach tree produced quite a lot of fruit, and I picked two baskets full of it.

Chen Xiaolin gave each of them two peaches. It's not that Chen Xiaolin didn't want to give more, but she also planned to give some to the neighbors to try. When the time comes, each family will give a little, but she doesn't know if it will be enough?

There are a total of twenty households in Chen Xiaolin's nearby bungalows, and she doesn't plan to give away the ones in other buildings. Chen Xiaolin calculated and found that each family could only give away six.

It took half an hour for Chen Xiaolin to finish delivering them, and her peaches were almost gone. There were only a dozen left that she planned to give to Mr. Liu.

Fortunately, the peaches in her space are almost ripe, otherwise she would definitely not be able to part with them.

Chen Xiaolin sent the peach to Mr. Liu's home, and at the same time handed the key to Chen Dazhu's family home to Mr. Liu and asked him to help return it to the logistics department.

She had just let Zhao Lin take the quilt that Chen Dazhu was covering home, and the pots and pans at home had also been taken away by several other children.

Chen Xiaolin left the military area family home with a snakeskin bag.

When Zhao Lin and the others saw that Chen Xiaolin was about to leave, they held her thighs and refused to let her go. Finally, Zhao Lin's mother came out and took them back.

Chen Xiaolin really had mixed feelings. She might never have the chance to come here again in the future

When we returned to the city, it was almost dark, and she was very tired after a busy day. Chen Xiaolin was too lazy to cook. She took a watermelon in the space, cut it, and ate it with a spoon.
