Qiu Jingwen, who was sitting at the table, saw a man grabbing his wife and immediately stood up.
The man was dressed like a human, in a suit, and didn't look like an ordinary person.
Just as he was about to step forward, Jiang Yuping shook off the man's hand and said loudly, "Who are you? I don't know you!"
Seeing the change in Jiang Yuping's expression, the other party smiled and apologized: "Kawashima Eiko, I am Sato Hideyuki. Think about it, we participated in a Chinese literary society together, and we even met at Kagesa's family banquet."
Jiang Yuping became even more displeased at the mention of Yingzuo.
"I'm sorry, you've mistaken me for someone else."
She simply chose to ignore it.
After the memory returned, most of the childhood memories came back.
In previous years, her husband Qiu Jingwen had experienced repeated trials and tribulations in spy cases, and she did not want to have any contact with other unrelated people. Especially after coming to the capital and establishing contact with General Wang Chen, she did not want to have much interaction with other people.
“How could that be? You are Kawashima Eiko. I would never be wrong. Even though it has been decades, I remember the red mole on your ear very clearly.”
Nevertheless, Jiang Yuping still chose to leave.
Furthermore, she also saw her husband, Qiu Jingwen, stand up from the table and look in their direction.
Sato Hideyuki stood still, took off his glasses, and curled his lips into a sinister smile.
He walked into a private room and whispered a few words to a young man next to him. The young man nodded repeatedly and said, "Hey, hey, I guarantee I won't fail."
Jiang Yuping returned to her seat, and Qiu Jingwen asked, "Yuping, who was that man just now?"
As a former secret agent, he is naturally sensitive.
Although we live in a time of peace, spies still infiltrate every corner of the world.
In the years since I came to Beijing, although no one has come after me, the spy cases happening around me are frequently reported in newspapers and news. Of course, these are all cases of espionage that have been solved, but the activities of the spies have never stopped.
He was also worried that Jiang Yuping might come into contact with people she shouldn't be with.
"Jingwen, you've mistaken me for someone else."
Jiang Yuping was worried that her husband would misunderstand.
Since Kawashima Kenjiro and Jiang Yunxi were also sitting at the table, Qiu Jingwen didn't ask any further questions.
Soon, a sumptuous meal was laid out.
The family ate and chatted. Qiu Shui sat next to her grandmother, constantly picking vegetables for Jiang Yunxi. The old lady was so happy that she smiled like a flower, praising her daughter's kindness over and over again, sometimes even with tears in her eyes.
After a late-night meal, Qiu Jingwen's family said goodbye to the old lady, and Kawashima Kenjiro brought his mother back.
The next afternoon, Qiu Shui had Wang Hao drive a military jeep to take his mother to his uncle's house and bring his grandmother to his home. Everyone agreed that they would bring his grandmother home after Kawashima Kenjiro returned from Japan. Of course, it was also agreed that if his grandmother wished, she could stay at Qiu's house for a while longer. In short, it would be according to the old lady's wishes.
A few days later, with Wang Chen's help, Jiang Yuping invited an old Chinese medicine doctor to the old lady.
After examining Jiang Yunxi's condition through observation, listening, questioning, and palpation, and considering Jiang Yunxi's long-standing dementia, the traditional Chinese medicine doctor prescribed several herbal formulas for Jiang Yuping. He instructed Jiang Yuping to prepare the medicine according to the instructions and nervously administer it to his wife. Whether there would be any improvement remained to be seen.
Unexpectedly, after only about ten days of taking it, the old lady suddenly seemed to have an epiphany, saying that she remembered everything. She held Qiu Shui's hand and no longer called her daughter, but her granddaughter. Looking at Jiang Yuping, she also called out Yingzi and her daughter with tears streaming down her face.
The old lady, now fully recovered, chatted with Jiang Yuping about many things from her childhood.
“Yingzi, actually, although your father is Japanese, he has always been working for the people here.”
The old lady held her daughter's hand and looked out the window, seemingly lost in thought.
Jiang Yuping was startled; she naturally understood what her mother meant by the people from this side.
Kawashima Ayan was a good father. Although she was young at the time, she remembered his words of opposition to the war. But she never expected that her father, as a Japanese, would do things for this side.
"Mom, are you getting senile? You must have misremembered something from years ago."
Jiang Yuping felt that everything was in the past, and there was no need to turn the page on history again.
“Daughter, if I remember correctly, you were still young back then. For safety and secrecy, I naturally wouldn’t tell you these things. The person your father contacted back then was a middle-aged man surnamed Qiu. Later, your father told me that his public identity was that of a cloth shop owner. Later, due to betrayal, the couple were killed by secret agents of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics in order to cover up for a comrade named Wang Chen.”
Time seemed to freeze.
Jiang Yuping was so shocked that her mouth dropped open.
The mother knew what happened back then. The couple surnamed Qiu were the parents of her husband, Qiu Jingwen, and the comrade who had been protecting them was General Wang Chen.
Everything makes sense now.
My mother's dementia has been completely cured, and everything she said was true.
When Qiu Shui returned home, Jiang Yuping immediately told her daughter what had happened, and Qiu Shui was so happy that she hugged Jiang Yunxi.
That day, Qiu Shui spent the whole day listening to her grandmother recount the events of that year, with her notebook and pen in hand.
She never expected that her maternal grandfather, who was a Japanese soldier, would actually help her paternal grandparents and mother, as they were on the same side.
The notebook was filled with dense notes, and Qiu Shui treasured it like a precious gem. After her grandmother finished speaking, she even kissed the old lady, making the old lady smile from ear to ear.
"I must write a book about my maternal grandfather and paternal grandfather and paternal mother's espionage experiences to comfort their souls in heaven."
About two weeks later, one day.
After having breakfast, Jiang Yunxi took her mother to the nearby market to buy groceries.
Qiu Shou still went to school, and Qiu Jingwen, who became a junior leader, also went to work overtime.
