The young soldier was a little confused when he saw Chen Ye's quick response. He only reacted when he heard Chen Ye's voice: "Okay, come with me. The car is parked outside."
Chen Ye nodded to the lady at the front desk and walked out of the guesthouse. She saw the military green jeep parked in front of the guesthouse. She had ridden in this car before, although it was in her previous life. But she did not show any fear in front of the car.
He reached out to open the car door himself and sat in. The little soldier withdrew his hand that was about to open the car door.
I was wondering, didn't the deputy battalion commander say that it was a young man from my hometown? Although his clothes were quite tattered, he didn't look like one.
But never mind him, he just needs to do what the deputy battalion commander tells him to do. His mother said, talk less and do more, you will never go wrong.
The car started moving. Chen Ye did not talk to the young soldier. She looked out the window and tried hard to memorize the route. She was afraid that she would have to walk back on her own later. She would easily get lost if she couldn't remember the way. She was very unfamiliar with this city.
The key is that this place is huge, and it would be hard to find your way if you get lost.
About half an hour later, the car drove into an alley. The courtyard walls here looked quite tall, a little different from ordinary houses. The courtyards looked quite large, and they all had separate entrances and exits.
The car stopped in front of a gate. The young soldier turned around and looked at Chen Ye: "Comrade Chen Ye, our Battalion Commander Chen is waiting for you in this house. Just go in."
Although the deputy battalion commander didn't say it, he knew that this was the deputy battalion commander's own house. He was the one who sent it here every time the deputy battalion commander came here, but he never told anyone about this.
If he hadn't kept his mouth shut, Deputy Battalion Commander Chen wouldn't have asked him to drive every time he went out. He never asked or talked about the leader's affairs, and just did whatever he was told to do. As long as the leader didn't do anything that harmed the country, he would pretend to be blind and deaf.
The young soldier was thinking about something and acted without any delay. When he saw Chen Ye get out of the car, he drove away directly. The rest of the things were not his business.
When Chen Ye turned around, she saw the back of the car. It moved so quickly that she didn't even have a chance to ask any more questions.
She looked up at the mottled door, which was obviously ajar. Chen Ye took a deep breath and pushed open the door, facing a carved screen wall.
She had only seen such a big house in TV dramas, and this was the first time she had seen one in real life. She was not in the mood to appreciate this quaint courtyard. She came here to deal with important matters.
Around the screen wall is a small square courtyard. From both sides of the courtyard, you can see that there is more than one entrance to the courtyard. The door of the room facing the screen wall is open, revealing the eight-immortal table inside and the people sitting at the table.
Although the distance was still a bit far, Chen Ye's eyesight was very good and he could basically see the face of the person sitting there.
This should be the person she is looking for, her Chen Shimei father Chen Dasheng.
Oh, by the way, after he joined the army, he changed his name to Chen Jiefang. I don’t know what people were thinking at that time. Did they think that calling someone Red Flag Jiefang was truly patriotic?
Chen Ye did not avoid Chen Jiefang's gaze. It was hard to describe the meaning of that gaze. It was very complicated, a little strange, a little regretful, and even some indescribable feeling.
Chen Ye calmed himself down before looking at Chen Jiefang's facial features. To be honest, this man looked better than Chen Laoer, but unlike Chen Laoer, Chen Laoer was a bit delicate, while Chen Jiefang was a bit tough. His appearance was quite consistent with his current profession.
That doesn't make sense. How come Chen Jiefang looks nothing like the three people from the Chen family's first wife? Could it be that Chen Jiefang is not the biological son of those two old guys?
That shouldn't be the case. Judging from the way those two old guys protect this person, it doesn't look like he was adopted. Just look at the character of those two old guys in the Chen family.
Chen Ye shook his head in his heart. Those two old guys couldn't be so nice to their adopted children. It was good enough that they didn't exploit them too much.
She kept this matter in her heart, thinking of asking around when she got back. Could it be that Chen Jiefang really wasn't the biological son of the Chen family? That would explain why he treated her like that.
Chen Jiefang had been sitting, but Chen Ye could still predict Chen Jiefang's height, which should be less than 175 cm. This height was not short. There were not many tall people in this era, and he could be considered the tallest one in the Chen family.
Chen Jiefang also kept looking at Chen Ye. This child was different from what he had imagined. If he hadn't known in advance that she was a girl, he would have thought she was a boy.
She was quite tall. If he remembered correctly, the child was only twelve years old this year. A twelve-year-old girl could grow so tall. It seemed that she must be living a good life.
He just doesn't have much flesh on his body, and it might be because he is too thin due to greed. But when I saw Chen Ye's face closer, this guess was no longer valid. He looked like a typical malnourished person, with dry and yellow hair, dark and yellow complexion, and sunken cheeks.
However, there are many such children nowadays. No matter how good the food is in the countryside, they may not even be able to fill their stomachs. He thinks that his parents have done their best to raise him to this age.
Chen Ye didn't need this person to greet him, and sat directly opposite Chen Jiefang. After all, Chen Jiefang was a soldier, so he could still see that Chen Ye was disguised.
He stared at Chen Ye's face without saying a word, mainly because Chen Ye's facial features gave him a familiar feeling. Before he could meet the person he had met before, he found that the person opposite him frowned, with displeasure in his eyes.
Chen Jiefang then withdrew his inquiring gaze, but he was still a little puzzled. Why did he still care about a child's displeasure?
Chen Ye didn't think much about it. After meeting this person, Chen Ye still didn't like him, so he decided to make a quick decision.
Chen Ye is a very polite child: "Hello, my name is Chen Ye, Ye as in leaf."
Chen Jiefang moved his mouth but didn't know how to respond. Should he just say hello, "Hello, I am your father Chen Jiefang whom you have never met"?
Chen Ye didn't wait for his answer and continued, "I came here today to tell you about the death of my grandparents. They passed away seven days ago. I don't know if my second uncle told you."
Chen Jiefang stood up suddenly. Although he hadn't been home for more than ten years, he still had feelings for his parents, otherwise he wouldn't be able to send money home every month.
"What did you say? Say it again?" Chen Jiefang's eyes were a little red.
The second son did tell him that his parents had suffered strokes one after another last year and were lying on the kang, unable to move. He said he had a job and could not take care of the elderly, so he wanted him to send some more money so that he could find someone in the village to take care of his parents.
He remembered that the second son had written to him last month saying that although his parents were lying on the kang and unable to move, they looked quite energetic. How could they suddenly pass away?
