Grandpa Ye’s words were powerful.
Back then, when the war was raging, some people came from Shanghai to Bauhinia City in order to protect themselves and their families, just to seek a stable life. Now, when many people heard that Bauhinia City was going to return, they wanted to leave Bauhinia City and go to other countries.
Perhaps these people have never thought about their origins at all. They would like to erase their origins so that they can better integrate with people from other countries.
"Old Ye, you've been living in China. What's the situation there like?"
Grandpa Ye shouted coldly, "Stop, what do you mean by domestic? Let me tell you, this piece of land you are on is also ours."
At first, Grandpa Ye and Grandma Ye were immersed in the joy of meeting old friends.
But the more they got along with these old friends, the more Grandpa and Grandma Ye realized that their former friends had become unworthy of their friendship the moment they left.
"If you want to leave, leave."
"This is your own choice, I won't persuade you."
"If you want to be a second-class citizen, please feel free to do so."
"But in my heart, Ye, you will always be deserters and cowards..."
"When the country was humiliated by foreign powers, you chose to flee."
"When the country was in ruins, you chose to escape."
"When the country needs talent for development, you still choose to run away."
"I tell you, without deserters like you, our country can still thrive and get better and better."
"Everyone, let's say goodbye. May you all have a long and happy life and all the best. Please."
Grandpa Ye made a "please" gesture.
The other elderly people looked at each other, shook their heads and sighed, and left quietly.
The huge villa returned to silence from its initial bustle.
Grandpa Ye sat on the sofa, looking at the teacup in front of him, a trace of sadness and anger welling up in the depths of his eyes.
He watched helplessly as countless people risked their lives to reclaim every inch of land from the bandits.
He watched helplessly as countless hardworking and kind-hearted people built new homes one after another from the dark ruins.
He watched helplessly as the country got better little by little and took back everything he had lost little by little.
Obviously, everything is moving in the best direction, but some people still choose to "escape".
"Grandpa, don't be sad."
Ye Linlang saw how sad and upset Grandpa Ye was.
Grandpa Ye shook his head and said, "I'm not sad. They came to me just hoping that we could allow them to enjoy special privileges in the matter of Bauhinia City's return. Ha... What a joke! The feudal dynasty has long since perished!"
Ye Linlang also spoke softly and slowly, "Grandpa, if they want to leave, then let them leave! One day, their descendants will understand what a mistake their elders made."
Grandpa Ye smiled slightly and looked at Ye Linlang and Xie Xuning. He firmly believed that what Ye Linlang said was correct.
Grandpa Ye's eyes fell on the scenery in the distance.
He deeply loves every inch of land here.
In fact, Ye Guojin and Tang Tang’s work in Zijing City did not go very smoothly.
Even so, they still grit their teeth, overcome, persist, work hard and struggle.
"Linlang, I will live well and see this prosperous world..."
