Wednesday, April 18

Office of the Director of a Sub-district Office in East Fourth District of Sijiucheng City

Director Wang looked at the young man sitting across from the desk and sighed secretly.

"Deputy Station Director Li, I didn't expect Comrade Li Mingcheng and Comrade Li Yuan to be your father and brother. You didn't say anything about it the day you reported them."

"I didn't expect them to live in our subdistrict office. Furthermore, I thought the civil affairs department would handle the funeral affairs of my father and my brother, but I didn't expect that they had already been handed over to our office."

"It was indeed handled by the civil affairs department at the beginning. Your family's situation is quite special. You are in the army and there are no other relatives at home, so after the funeral arrangements were handled, they were handed over to our office."

At this point, Director Wang stopped, hesitated for a moment and then continued: "Although half a year has passed, I still want to say, Deputy Station Chief Li, people cannot be resurrected after death, so please be patient and accommodating."

"Haha, don't worry, director. I've been in the army for nine years, so I don't have to see too much about life and death. I'm fine."

The young man shook his head slightly and said it seemingly casually, but the keen Director Wang still saw a trace of sadness in his eyes.

How could he not be sad? It was his two closest relatives who died, the only two closest relatives in the world.

His mother died of illness not long after giving birth to her younger brother Xiaoyuan, and now he is the only one left in their family.

His name is Li Heng, nicknamed Er Heng. He is twenty-eight years old and is a reborn person.

He didn't know why he was reborn.

He only knew that he was sleeping peacefully in the office, and when he opened his eyes again, he was reborn as this seventeen-year-old boy.

At that time, the original owner, father and son, were on their way to Sijiu City due to the turmoil in the current situation. When he came over, he and the original owner merged together perfectly, regardless of each other.

As for why this happened, he didn't know, and what came with his soul was only an empty five-meter-square space warehouse.

After the three of them arrived at Sijiu City and settled down, he resolutely ran out of the city and joined the army.

He has been here for nine years, experienced countless wars, big and small, and struggled on the verge of life and death. Perhaps due to good luck, he was lucky enough to survive until now and successfully retired.

Just when their army finally settled down last year and he was about to take family leave to come back to see his father and younger brother, a piece of bad news came, which strengthened his determination to come back.

Because of his status as a cadre in the army, he was assigned to be the deputy director of the waste recycling station under the sub-district office after he returned. The salary level was level 20, that is, a second-level clerk. His monthly salary was 70 yuan. This salary was

This age can be said to be quite high.

After half a month of busy work, after he was completely settled, he went to the civil affairs department to check the arrangements for his father and brother after the accident, and then he had a conversation with the director of the office.

"Deputy Station Chief Li..."

"Director, you can just call me by my name or call me Er Heng. This is Deputy Station Director Li. It sounds awkward."

Director Wang from the subdistrict office is a kind-hearted aunt who always speaks softly, but also acts resolutely without delay, which makes people feel very comfortable.

"Haha, okay, then I'll call you Er Heng. Did the civil affairs department tell you about the compensation for your father and your brother?"

"Said something."

"Okay, let me get it straight. The compensation is divided into two parts. One is from the government, and this part is..."

At this point, Director Wang had already stood up and walked to the filing cabinet aside: "Wait a minute, I'll look for that file."

"Hey, this is it. You can take a look. Because the casualties at that time were very tragic, the government specially issued a document on the issue of compensation."

Li Heng took the document handed over by Director Wang and looked at it casually. There was not much in it. It mainly explained how the compensation should be paid out of the financial system, and how much compensation should be paid to the dead and injured.

His father and brother paid a total of 600 yuan in compensation, and also compensated for part of the tickets.

"Er Heng, this is compensated by the government. In addition, your father and brother are compensated by their work units, because it involves their work establishments. They are both teachers of No. 2 Middle School. Do you know this?"

"Ah? Xiaoyuan is also a teacher? I really don't know that. I know that my father is a teacher. He was a teacher before liberation."

"Well, that's right. Later, after your brother graduated, he also joined the No. 2 Middle School as a teacher. So because of their establishment, the No. 2 Middle School also gave some compensation this time, 200 for each person, and some votes. These together with the government's

The compensation is all locked in the safe in the finance room. I will take you there to pick it up later, but you still have to sign for me."

After listening, Li Heng nodded silently.

The money is indeed a lot, the cash alone is one thousand, but two lives are worth one thousand, plus some tickets?

"Alas~" Before he could say anything, Director Wang sighed and continued: "This was an accident. No one expected that things would turn out like this. I am not the person involved, and I am not qualified to say anything to make you look away, but

Things have become like this, and those who are alive have to live on, right? I believe that your father and your brother are in heaven, and I hope you will be well."

"Thank you, director!"

"You're welcome, our street office only serves the people, not to mention you are a member of our street office. By the way, there is also a house, I almost forgot the most important thing.

After the liberation, housing was redistributed. Your house is in the third alley north of our street office. It is a front yard and west wing with three courtyards. To be honest, the house is quite large, which means it was allocated to your family early.

, if it were now, it would definitely not be that big.

The keys to the house are at the back office. We haven’t touched anything in the house. We just added a lock to the door. I’ll find someone to take you there later. You happen to be working in the recycling bin’s office right now, right?

Now that I have my own house to live in, I can find a wife as soon as possible and live my own life."

This should be considered good news, otherwise he just returned from recovery and wants to wait until the housing is allocated, and he doesn't know how long it will be.

But he just couldn't be happy, he just forced an ugly smile on his face.

Director Wang looked at his expression and sighed in his heart. Who could be happy when something like this happens?

She opened the drawer and took out a book, flipped through a few pages and put it on the desk: "This is the details of the compensation. I will go over and get it for you now. You can check the numbers later and then sign."

"No need, director." Without saying a word, Li Heng picked up the pen on the side and signed his name on it.

"I'll go with you."
