Li Shuhua sat there in a daze, while Li Wenjing, Li Yuanshan and Li Yuanbing, brothers and sisters, helped Xia Yulan clear the dishes and leftovers from the table.
Li Yuanshan was still feeling uneasy about what Xia Yulan had just said, and Li Wenjing looked at Li Daniu's face again.
You can roughly see the situation. As the saying goes, there are no perfect parents in the world.
But not everyone has a good relationship with their parents, and many people have a weak relationship with them.
Just like myself in my previous life, I tried hard to fight for the parents who did not belong to me, wanting a little bit of their love, and finally ended up like that.
However, she was still worried about her father. She was afraid that he would be too sad, which would be bad for his health. After helping Xia Yulan finish her work, she went into the house to see Li Shuhua.
Xia Yulan was pulled into the kitchen by Li Yuanshan and Li Yuanbing to ask about what happened that year.
After what happened tonight, the image of grandpa in their hearts collapsed.
Xia Yulan was also very annoyed at this moment. She should have been happy, but it was ruined by that old man. Now she heard her two sons asking about those things. She said unhappily: "Go to bed quickly and stop asking nonsense!"
Li Yuanshan said: "Mom, didn't you say that I'm grown up now and know some things, so I can learn from them and not make such mistakes!"
Xia Yulan thought about it and felt that her son was right. Just because they were children, they should not be deprived of the right to know the truth.
Since they don't know the truth, they will still have hope for that grandfather.
"Your father also joined the army back then..."
It was the first time that Li Yuanshan and Li Yuanbing heard about this, and they couldn't help but open their mouths wide.
They heard this story for the first time and found out that it was all thanks to their father that their second uncle was able to join the army.
Their good grandfather had long known that their father was a man of loyalty and righteousness, so he was able to control him.
The father and daughter in the house were also talking about this matter. They were listening to Xia Yulan telling her past stories in the house.
"Dad, didn't Grandpa know that you would use your demobilization quota to replace Second Uncle's enlistment list?"
Li Shuhua hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes!"
"So, did Second Uncle just accept it so calmly?"
"By the time your second uncle found out, the enlistment notice had already arrived!"
Li Wenjing is a bit conspiracy-theoretic at this time!
She suspected everything Li Daniu did, and his second uncle knew it all, after all, he was the beneficiary!
"When your second uncle received the notice, he said to me..."
Li Shuhua was completely lost in memories again.
"Brother, I am sorry for you. I owe you my whole life!"
Li Zhihua was only sixteen years old at the time. The sixteen-year-old boy didn't understand why his elder brother, who was doing well in the army, wanted to retire instead of changing careers.
Whether Li Shuhua continued to stay in the army or retired, he would have had a good future.
And his elder brother exchanged his own future for his.
"Second brother, you haven't let me down. I'm very happy to be able to give you a place in the army. I'm the eldest in the family, and it's normal for dad to want me to come back and take care of him in his old age. This is what a son should do!
"When you go to the army, do your best. I hope you can shine in the army and contribute to the motherland by carrying my hope."
As the eldest in the family, Li Shuhua takes good care of his younger siblings, so he is really happy that his younger brother can join the army.
"Brother, Dad did this on purpose. He's not sick, but he pretended to be sick to call you back, to get you discharged from the army, and to get me a place in the army. He knew you would listen to him!"
Li Zhihua also overheard his parents arguing and knew that his father wanted to use his brother as a stepping stone for his future career.
He was very sad and didn't want to replace the life that should have belonged to his elder brother.
After hearing Li Zhihua's first words, Li Shuhua was completely stunned.
He didn't listen to what Li Zhihua said later.
At this moment, he only felt that his heart was in so much pain, as if it had been torn into several pieces and could never be put back together.
Li Zhihua did not want to go to the army and wanted Li Shuhua to continue to return to the army, but it was too late.
"Second brother, it's too late to say anything now. You must go to the army, otherwise my eldest brother's sacrifice will be in vain."
Finally, Li Shuhua forcibly took Li Zhihua's team to the gathering place.
Li Shuhua still doesn't have the courage to ask Li Daniu why he did that!
He didn't dare. He kept telling himself that when you stretch out a hand, the fingers are of different lengths, so it is normal for parents to be partial!
I just happen to be the one who is not favored.
At that time, Li Shuhua kept deceiving himself, but many things happened later that made him completely disheartened.
"After your father and your mother got married, the furniture factory in town was hiring. Your grandmother found out about it. She knew someone in the factory herself, so she wanted to help your father get a formal job.
At that time, your grandmother still had some valuable things. After selling them, she bought cigarettes, alcohol, cloth, and cakes.
I don't know how this matter reached your grandfather's ears. He gave the cakes to others, and even gave the cloth to He Zhaodi. He also gave the cigarettes and alcohol to his leader. In the end, your grandmother had no connections to use, so the matter had to be dropped!
I just can't understand why he can't stand your father being a good person, even though he's your grandfather's son.
Xia Yulan became angrier and angrier as she spoke.
"You don't know that when your father was young, he was not only good-looking, but also very good at carpentry."
Li Shuhua is good at carpentry, as can be seen from the small wine barrel he made this time!
After hearing this, Li Yuanshan and Li Yuanbing also spoke up for their father.
They didn't expect that Li Daniu, who looked honest, could do such a thing.
Li Yuanbing clenched his fist and said, "How could Grandpa be so mean!"
"I don't know what your grandfather is thinking, but he just can't stand seeing your father get along well. At first, we speculated that he might be reluctant to let your father go, and didn't want him to go far away, or have a successful future. He wanted him to stay in the village and take care of him in his old age."
Xia Yulan thought of Li Daniu's shameful plots and felt contempt for him in her heart.
Li Yuanshan was also a little confused and asked, "Why would Grandpa do this? Not to mention asking Dad to take care of him in his old age, even without Dad and Second Uncle, didn't he and He Zhaodi have two more sons?"
Didn’t we tell him tonight to give the list to Li Baofeng?
He was not only sad for his father, but also sad for himself.
Could it be that Li Baofeng is his relative, but he and his father are not?
Xia Yulan really didn't want to talk about these bad things anymore, so she said to the two brothers: "Okay, it's getting late, you should go wash up and go to bed!"
Li Shuhua walked out of the house and said, "It's better to let the children know about these things as soon as possible. We have done nothing wrong. As for what others think or say, we can't control it. We just need to take care of ourselves and have a clear conscience!"
