This was the second time today that he called Xia Lu's name to Qin Hongfei.
Beside him, Zhou Daren reminded him, "Grandpa, you remembered the wrong person. This is not Aunt Xia Lu, this is Sister Hong Fei."
When Uncle Zhou heard this, he immediately looked at Hong Fei, uttered "oh" twice, and said in annoyance, "Look at me, I always blurt out the words."
Qin Hongfei also smiled obediently, "It doesn't matter, everyone says that I look a lot like my mother."
When Uncle Zhou heard this, he nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, you and your mother look alike. I didn't call you by that name wrong."
He felt better, but a little sleepy.
Zhou Daren saw it and said, "Grandpa, can I help you to rest?"
Uncle Zhou waved his hand and said, "No, I'm not sleepy." As he said that, he looked at the iron box.
Zhou Shaoan said bluntly, "You've been dozing off, and you're not sleepy yet."
Uncle Zhou glared at him and said, "I'm just not sleepy."
...
...
You say it, and if you say it again, you are an unfilial descendant.
He moved his gaze back to the iron box, hesitating to speak. He wanted to take it back, as it was his treasure. However, Jiang Ke's daughter seemed very interested in it. If he took it back, would she think he was being stingy?
After thinking about it, he could only try his best to keep his eyes open and wait, not going to sleep, and wait until they had enough fun and then take the iron box back to make sure it wasn't lost due to carelessness.
Qin Hongfei looked for a while and found that the old man had been looking over here. Zhou Daren advised him to go to bed, but he refused to go. After a pause, he looked at the iron box and suddenly understood something. He asked directly, "Grandpa Zhou, are you waiting for us to finish reading?"
Uncle Zhou denied it, "No, I'm just not sleepy."
That's what you say, but it would be more convincing if you didn't doze off from time to time.
Qin Hongfei did not read it anymore and put the things in the iron box back one by one. Anyway, she had read what she needed to read. There was no specific useful information. It just made her understand more about her father.
Uncle Zhou breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the iron box being put back.
Zhou Daren said he would take him back to rest, and he did not refuse. He could not help but think to himself helplessly, and said it was not for the iron box!
Qin Yun asked doubtfully, "Is Grandpa Zhou sick?"
Qin Hongfei said, "Alzheimer's disease." Seeing the others' puzzled expressions, she said, "It's commonly known as senile dementia."
The elders in the Qin family are relatively healthy, and there are no convenient patients at home, so Qin Yun and his family don’t know much about this disease.
Moreover, in this era, this disease has not yet been popularized among the entire population.
Zhou Daen finished his work and walked in to see the group of children. He also wanted to ask Qin Hongfei something. When he heard this topic, he was in a trance for a moment, and kicked something with his feet, which made a noise, attracting the children to turn around and look.
Zhou Shaoan shouted, "Uncle."
Zhou Daen bent down to pick up the toy, looked at Qin Hongfei with nostalgia, and muttered, "You really look like your father." Just a moment ago, he even saw the shadow.
Qin Hongfei raised her eyebrows.
Over the years, after my father passed away, the name Qin Jiangke has almost faded out!
But recently, it has been mentioned frequently again, and more and more frequently, as if everyone around me knows my father and has met my father.
Qin Hongfei had a premonition that as this feeling became more and more obvious, she might be getting closer to the truth about her father.
"Uncle Da En also stayed in Qinhuai Street in the early years, right?"
"Of course, your father and I grew up together." Zhou Daen grinned, "We both have the surname Zhou, and I also walked out of Qinhuai Street. Unlike your father and my cousins, I stayed in Qin City to develop after I walked out. In fact, your father could have walked out, but he missed Qinhuai Street, so he stopped there. I opposed it at that time."
"Uncle Da En, do you have a good relationship with my uncle?" Qin Yun asked curiously.
"Normally, Jiang Ke and I had a good relationship when we were in Qinhuai Street. However, once we developed in different places and took different paths, our friendship would naturally fade. This is a normal phenomenon. You may not understand it now." Zhou Daen sat cross-legged on the ground, looking at Qin Hongfei with shining eyes. "But your father is special. He has a different life path. We have fewer topics to talk about, so we gradually drifted apart. But your father and I only see him once or twice a year, and we can still talk. We can't stop chatting for hours."
"Your father is the best person I have ever met in my life. Some people are good in a very one-sided way, because they may be willing to help others, but they may also gradually calculate in some ways. But your father is different..." Zhou Daen said thoughtfully, "He is very pure. If it weren't for him, your mother might not be what she is now." Seeing the child's curious eyes, he smiled, "Don't look at me like that. I can't say it. If I say it, your mother will bear a grudge. I can only say that your father is really good."
Cheerful and generous!
Don't hold grudges and be willing to help others.
Some people would be jealous of their relatives and friends’ good lives, but Qin Jiangke is the type who hopes that his relatives and friends live well no matter when and where they are, and is concerned about development. "When your father and I were born, the environment was not good and it was difficult to study. Your family and my family were relatively good and focused on education, but even so, many people in Qinhuai Street still couldn't go to school. Later, Jiangke and I walked out of Qinhuai Street and found that people in big cities paid special attention to education. Most of them went to high school and college, and some even went abroad, so they developed well..."
"Jiang Ke said that our generation has little hope, so we should put our hopes on the next generation."
"We need to create a good environment so that the next generation will not have to go through hardships. Only when each generation becomes stronger can we stand up straight and our people will not be bullied by those foreign devils when they go abroad."
"So the roads on Qinhuai Street are being repaired one by one."
“From nothing to something.”
"But personal power is limited after all. The opportunity should be in 1981 or 1982..." Zhou Daen's memory has faded, but when he saw the child today, he couldn't help but think of the old friend.
"81?" Qin Hongfei seemed to be thinking about something. Was it the year when Qin Yan was taken away?
"Yes." Zhou Daen paused, "I don't know the details, but it seems that someone has taken a fancy to your brother..."
"..." Qin Hongfei understood. It was the year when her brother did it.
Zhou Daen doesn’t know the situation?
That was probably because he had left Qinhuai Street, and Director Zhou had never mentioned this to him, and Uncle Zhou might not have said it either. Uncle Zhou always remembered that it was Qin Jiangke's En, not Qin Yan, and he mentioned Jiangke the most, so he only mentioned it vaguely once or twice. It might also be that their friendship had faded, so he didn't mention it much, and Zhou Daen didn't ask specifically.
"An ancestor came to your family and approved a benefit! Originally, that benefit was promised to your Qin family, but Brother Jiang Ke changed it to building roads, elementary schools, and libraries."
"I was born in the 1950s. I went out to study in the 1960s. In the 1970s, I returned to Qinhuai Street for six years. After the reform, I came to Qinshi to look for development opportunities, and then settled down here. In the first two or three years, I went back several times a year. Later, I was busy and rarely went back. When I went back again, Qinhuai Street had changed a lot..."
Back in the 1990s, she became rich through scientific research
