As it turns out, Xiao Yanbao's little mouth is like it's been blessed.

Li Qicheng, who was in charge of contacting the old comrades-in-arms of the old man Li, carried out his mission very smoothly. He not only contacted many of the old man's comrades-in-arms who had a good relationship with him, but also found the brother who had lost contact with the old man for many years.

On the day of the old master's 70th birthday, Li Qicheng gave him a big surprise.

But time flies, and it is quite merciless.

They were once vibrant young people, but now they are elderly men with white hair.

So when the person in the wheelchair appeared in front of the old man of the Li family, the old man was clearly stunned.

The person in the wheelchair spoke first: "Old brother, do you remember me? I'm Xiao Ye!"

Upon hearing this, the old man of the Li family's pupils contracted sharply, and the next second, he began to tremble uncontrollably.

He immediately stood up from his seat and walked excitedly toward the person in the wheelchair, his voice trembling:

"Xiao Ye... Ye Hong! I may forget anyone else, but I will never forget you!"

Brothers who risked their lives together and saved each other's lives back then, even though we haven't seen each other for many years, even though our faces have changed and our temples are gray, we can never forget each other!

The old man's eyes were also noticeably red.

Ye Hong's eyes instantly welled up with tears, but he laughed heartily:

"Hahahaha... It's good that you still remember me. I was afraid that as you get older, your memory will get worse and you'll forget about your good brother!"

Upon hearing this, the old man of the Li family smiled and said, "Don't worry, even if I get Alzheimer's, I will never forget you!"

Ye Hong reached out and grasped the hand of the old man from the Li family, holding it tightly, and said, "It's been so many years, and you still love to joke around as much as before!"

This is probably what true brothers are like. Even if they haven't been in touch for a long time, they won't feel awkward when they meet again. They can even joke and tease each other as if nothing happened.

The old patriarch of the Li family personally pushed Ye Hong's wheelchair towards the living room, complaining as he went:

"You know we haven't seen each other for many years! I wrote you countless letters back then, but they all disappeared without a trace. What happened to you? Why did you suddenly disappear?"

Throughout the years they were out of contact, the old man of the Li family always kept his old friend in his thoughts!

Upon hearing the question from the old man of the Li family, Ye Hong couldn't help but sigh softly and said:

"Well, that's a long story. I'm so sorry, I sincerely apologize to you today, and I hope you can forgive me!"

Ye Hong's attitude seemed very sincere.

The old man of the Li family said arrogantly, "I will not accept your apology! Unless you explain the whole story to me."

Ye Hong pursed his lips slightly with a hint of helplessness and said slowly, "Do you still remember the little girl I rescued in the disaster area back then?"

"Of course I remember, your two old legs were lost because of that little girl."

As he spoke, the old man of the Li family's gaze fell on Ye Hong's two legs covered with a blanket, and a look of pity flashed in his eyes.

Disasters are merciless. If Ye Hong hadn't lost his legs, his life would definitely have been much smoother than it is now.

But Ye Hong's eyes were full of relief, and he proudly shared with the old man of the Li family:

"It can be considered a blessing in disguise. Because of these two legs, I didn't want to be a burden to others, so I never got married. I thought I would live a lonely life, but I didn't expect that the little girl I saved back then still remembered me. That girl has become successful. She became a scientist abroad and is now an academic."

The old man of the Li family stared wide-eyed in surprise, then exclaimed with delight, "Really? That's wonderful!"

Ye Hong's eyes also became noticeably moist, and he said with a smile, "She still remembers the kindness of me saving her life back then. She specially found me and asked me to adopt her as her daughter. Then she took me abroad. Everything happened too suddenly. I didn't have time to write to you to tell you about it, so I lost contact with you."

"Hmph! I wondered what it was all about? Turns out you're off enjoying yourself with your daughter! In that case..."

The old man of the Li family paused for a moment, then said magnanimously, "Then I forgive you!"

Upon hearing this, the two elderly people exchanged a knowing glance and burst into hearty laughter.

Their laughter successfully attracted the attention of the Li family's Calabash Brothers and Little Yanbao, and they all turned to look in that direction.

The eldest son, Li Muxing, said with deep emotion, "It's clear that Grandpa is genuinely happy this time."

The last time I saw Grandpa this happy was the last time.

The second son, Li Muchen, exclaimed in surprise, as if he had discovered a new continent, "So Grandpa has good buddies too! I thought Grandpa, with his domineering personality, would never make any friends!"

Upon hearing this, the third brother, Li Muhao, kindly reminded Li Muchen, "Second brother, be careful that Grandpa doesn't hear your complaints and spank you in front of all the guests!"

Li Muchen, however, simply scoffed dismissively.

The fourth sister, Li Muhan, looked at the two elderly people with envy and said softly, "The camaraderie between soldiers is indeed different from other friendships. I really envy this kind of friendship!"

The fifth brother, Li Mufeng, had his attention elsewhere. "So many guests have come to the house today! The banquet must be very grand!"

This means there will be even more delicious food to enjoy at today's banquet.

Li Mufeng's eyes were noticeably brighter than before.
