"My grandma and grandpa had different personalities from my grandparents. They all came from scholarly families in Beijing, and my grandpa's grandfather was a government official in Beijing.

During the revolution, they knew their background was not good, so they donated their house in Beijing and some money to the country, and moved with me to the mountains of Fang County, south of Beijing, thus escaping the disaster.

Fan Hua listened carefully and couldn't help asking, "So you lived in the mountains for a few days before you became an educated youth."

Zhao Yilu hummed softly.

"No wonder you're so strong, it seems you climb mountains a lot."

Zhao Yilu chuckled: "It seems that my wife is quite satisfied with my physical strength!"

Fan Hua was speechless. Once this man started talking about dirty things, he couldn't stop talking about that!

"So actually, your personality and temperament are more like your grandparents, and your eldest brother He Siyan is more like your grandparents, right?" Fan Hua asked curiously.

Zhao Yilu thought for a moment and replied seriously, "In terms of temperament, my eldest brother does take after my grandma and grandpa more, and is more gentle, but in terms of personality, he doesn't take after anyone."

"My grandma and grandpa are also very warm and easygoing, not as aloof as my eldest brother. My eldest brother's current personality may have something to do with his health. Because of his poor health, he often needs to stay at home. Gradually, he has fewer friends and has become more aloof."

"During the time you were an educated youth, did your brother live with grandma and grandpa? And since your brother was in poor health, was he forced to go to the countryside?"

Zhao Yilu nodded. "I was only ten years old then. My elder brother wasn't in good health and didn't need to go to the countryside, but Grandpa's mortal enemy had put him on the list. If Grandpa had used his connections to prevent him from going, he would not only lose his job, but would also be severely criticized..."

"Later, my grandfather secretly wrote to my grandfather to discuss countermeasures. When I found out, I took some money from my grandfather, left a note, and ran down the mountain. I walked for almost a whole day to Fang County and took the last bus to the city."

"I knew that my elder brother and I looked quite similar, so I decided to go to the countryside in his place..."

"My family didn't agree at first, especially my eldest brother, who was adamant I wouldn't go in his place. Finally, I persuaded my grandmother. On the morning of our departure, we locked my eldest brother in the house, and I changed into his usual white shirt and black-framed glasses and set off in his place."

"Luckily, I've always been quite sturdy. At ten, I was already almost as tall as my seventeen-year-old brother. With some proper dressing up, anyone who wasn't too familiar with my brother could easily mistake me for him."

"Later, my family was relieved to see that I had adapted well, so my grandfather secretly sent my eldest brother to live with my grandfather. We lived in this exchange pattern for four generations."

"Although my eldest brother has been in poor health these past few days, he has been studying hard in the countryside. When we heard the college entrance examination had been resumed, our family was very excited, thinking that as long as he passed, we could return to college. However, he coughed and wheezed so badly during the exam, and it was winter, so he couldn't go. In the end, he went to take the exam again and again."

Zhao Yilu glanced at Fan Hua, chuckled, and continued, "It's a good thing that Big Brother didn't take the exam the first time. Otherwise, if we had switched back earlier, I wouldn't have met you."

"Then, Big Brother Xiatian signed up for the army in my name. I jumped out of the window in a hurry that night, not only because I was afraid of being caught, but also because I had a physical examination the next morning, and Big Brother couldn't do it for me. I was originally on the list of people returning to the city and would have left in a few days, but because of that night, after my physical examination, I asked Grandpa to say goodbye to Yuanshui County and didn't return to the village."

"My eldest brother had just finished his exams and was waiting for the results. I really didn't dare to risk returning to Fanjia Village, nor did I dare to stay and take responsibility for you, so I left a letter for you and gave it to your only friend in the village. I didn't expect you to receive the letter..."

"Fortunately, we didn't miss it in the end, otherwise I would have felt guilty for the rest of my life!"

While driving, Zhao Yilu slowly told Fan Hua about his experience as a prostitute.
