Siheyuan: Fighting against Japanese Aggression in Beijing

Chapter 242 Picking up my younger brothers and sisters

"Okay, go ahead!" Li Renyi said, "By the way, your brother and the others are still at home. I asked Xiao Liu to leave the children with your uncle Ma to take care of them. Go check on them. I think the children are scared."

"I know. I will go pick them up later. I have enough rooms there." Li Kangri said.

Hearing Li Kangri's words, Li Renyi was deeply moved. At times like this, his relatives are still the best. "Kangri, thank you. You are a kind and loyal child. Dad feels a little sorry for you..." Li Renyi said with emotion.

"Old Li, if you are moved, why not cry? I have never seen you cry." Li Kangri joked.

"You little brat, I finally had a chance to cry but you ruined it." Li Renyi said with a wry smile.

"Haha, that's right. I'll go see the reinforcements first. After I settle them down, I'll go talk to someone about your matter. You should reflect on your mistakes here first." Li Kangri said with a smile.

"What did I do wrong? I did nothing wrong," Li Renyi said speechlessly, "Go, go quickly, the children are important."

After leaving Li Renyi's unit, Li Kangri went straight to Li's house. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Xiao Liu comforting several children. "Reinforcements, your dad and others will be back soon, can you please stop making trouble?" Xiao Liu said helplessly.

"You are lying. You have said this several times. You are kidding me!" Li Yuanjun shouted.

Hearing the door opening, the four of them looked over. Seeing Li Kangri, Xiao Liu was overjoyed, "Kangri, you, you are finally here. It was so hard for me..." Xiao Liu said happily.

Before Xiao Liu could finish his words, the reinforcements came running over, shouting, "Brother!"

"Brother, mom has been taken away and dad hasn't come back yet. Brother, ah ah ah..." The reinforcements hugged Li Kangri's thighs and cried.

Behind them, Li Yuanmin and Li Qinglian also looked tearful and looked at Li Kangri eagerly.

"Don't cry, come home with me later, your parents will be back soon." Li Kangri said.

"Brother, is this true? Are you going to save mom and dad?" Li Qinglian cried, "Brother from the reinforcements said that mom and dad were captured and can't come back."

"Nonsense, Mom and Dad went out for something and will be back in a few days." Li Kangri said.

"Really? Brother," Li Qinglian said.

"Really, I promise you," Li Kangri said. After that, he looked at the two boys and taught them a lesson, "How could you two say such nonsense? Your father and mother went out for something. Don't say such nonsense in the future."

"Brother, but mom was clearly..." the reinforcement argued.

"Shut up. No buts. Come home with me later and your sister will cook for you. I can see that you haven't eaten well in the past few days." Li Kangri scolded.

"Okay!" said the reinforcement. Although he didn't believe it, he still had to listen to his brother. He felt that his brother would be able to rescue his parents. In his heart, his brother was omnipotent.

"Anti-Japanese, the leader..." Xiao Liu hesitated to speak.

"Reinforcements, take your brother and sister to their rooms first, we have something to discuss."

"Okay brother, Yuanmin, Qinghe, come with me to the room." Yuanjun said knowingly.

After the children left, Li Kangri said, "Why didn't you come to see me earlier?"

"As for the Anti-Japanese War, the leader said that I couldn't tell you because he was afraid of implicating you, so I didn't come to find you." Xiao Liu explained.

"Don't I know it now?" Li Kangri said with a smile.

"It must have been Xu Siyuan who told you. In fact, I've been waiting for you for a long time. I knew you would come, but I don't know what that brat Xu Siyuan was doing. He only told you now." Xiao Liu complained.

"It's not too late. I guess he thought about it for a long time before telling me," said Li Kangri.

"By the way, Kangri, have you met the leader? Is he okay? Can he come out?" Xiao Liu asked in rapid succession.

"Yes, I just saw him coming out. He can also come out, but after he comes out he will be an ordinary citizen and no longer your leader." Li Kangri said.

"What? How did he become Lao Bai?" Xiao Liu asked anxiously, "Is this even reasonable? Why are you doing this for no reason?"

"Haha, it's normal to go up and down. Let's let Lao Li take a break from now on. He's fifty anyway," Li Kangri said. "What about you? Xiao Liu, what are your plans? Do you want to change the leader? Or do you want to go to the front-line troops?"

"Me?" Xiao Liu asked.

"Yeah, anyway, Lao Li will be a commander without any troops from now on."

"I, I don't want to stay here anymore. I've been following the leader since I came in. Now the leaders are all ordinary people, what else can I do?" Xiao Liu said confusedly.

"Hey, how about joining the security department of our steel rolling mill? Then you can follow me from now on." Li Kangri suggested.

Hearing Li Kangri's words, Xiao Liu was delighted. He had actually had this idea when Li Renyi was taken away. Now that Li Kangri had proposed it, it was just what he wanted, so he said, "Is it okay? Can I go to your factory?"

"Haha, if you want to go, you can go. I will help you. How about it? Do you want to go?" Li Kangri said with a smile.

"I'll definitely go if it's not too troublesome," said Xiao Liu.

"Okay, it's settled then. I'll get it for you in a few days."

Just as the two were chatting, the door was pushed open and Political Commissar Ma walked in carrying several lunch boxes.

"Anti-Japanese? Why are you here?" asked Political Commissar Ma.

"Hello Uncle Ma, I'm here to pick up my brother and sister to go to my house."

"Have you met Lao Li?"

"Yes, I met him this morning."

"How's Lao Li? Is he okay?"

"I'm fine! I just haven't shaved for a long time, so I look a little haggard."

"Alas! As for the anti-Japanese war, I, your uncle Ma, have no way to do anything. Now I am just a supporting role in the unit. I hope you won't blame me for not helping Lao Li." Political Commissar Ma said sadly.

"Haha, Uncle Ma, what are you saying? You and Lao Li are friends who have risked their lives for each other. It's already very good of you to take care of the reinforcements. Do others dare to come at this time?" Li Kangri said with a smile.

"I am ashamed, ashamed, really ashamed. This is all I can do. Oh! This... I didn't expect it. The Anti-Japanese War, the fortune-telling you did for your father a few years ago was so accurate. I want to ask, where is the noble person who saved your father?" Political Commissar Ma said.

"Hahaha, Uncle Ma, that person is far away in the sky and right in front of you." Li Kangri laughed.

"You?" Political Commissar Ma asked in surprise, "Have you reached this level of ability?"

"Haha, Uncle Ma, I don't have the ability, but I have treated at least 800 leaders. These people together are very powerful." Li Kangri boasted.

"Hey, now that you put it that way is true," Political Commissar Ma said with a smile, "How is it? When will Lao Li come out?"
