"you?"
Cheng Jin opened his mouth, unsure whether to agree or dissuade him.
After he came back to life, he did indeed have an impact on them.
Personally, he was naturally happy that their eldest brother had returned, but he was even more gratified by his nephew.
With his elder brother back, Cheng Chao finally had family and was no longer all alone.
However, Cheng Chao's emotional fluctuations made him uneasy.
Logically speaking, for such a joyous occasion, even if it's not a cause for universal celebration, at least there should be a smile on everyone's face, right?
However, Cheng Chao's behavior was only quite obvious at the beginning. After figuring out the whole story and what had happened over the past ten years, his emotions became visibly unstable.
Cheng Jin was well aware that his concern for his father was something that no ordinary person could replace, and because of this, everything about his father was sacred in his heart.
But these sudden years or so have left an indelible mark on Cheng Chao's image of his father, whether it's a crack or a stain. In short, for Cheng Chao, his father's image, once as clear and cold as the moon in the sky, has fallen to earth almost instantly.
The once iron-willed, cold-faced man has become powerless.
While he was all alone, relying on his uncle for support, Cheng Jia was living a happy life with another man, and also showing his fatherly love to other children.
Naturally, the things he did while being deceived for so many years were also a thorn in Cheng Chao's side.
Cheng Chao, being a true-blue second-generation revolutionary, naturally found this kind of thing difficult to accept, but the other party was his own father, which put him in a dilemma.
The lingering feelings, coupled with a gap of over a decade, have created this awkward situation.
Cheng Jin could actually anticipate almost all of these awkward situations.
If they weren't in this position, if they weren't soldiers, they might find it easier to accept.
But this was their lifelong belief, and it was the same for Cheng Jia.
Actually, it wasn't just them who were upset; Cheng Jia felt the same way.
"I know that he still resents me."
Actually, let alone him, even I despise myself right now.
There was definitely some joy in it; anyone would be happy to know that their loved ones were still alive. What troubled Cheng Chao was that the image of his father in his mind was completely different from the father he actually saw.
Cheng Jin understood the two men's thoughts fairly well, but he didn't intend to persuade them.
His brother was wronged. Half a lifetime of military achievements were ruined by a single mistake, and he was exploited by someone with ulterior motives for more than a decade. Fortunately, no major accident occurred, otherwise, there would never have been a chance to face him.
On the other hand, it's normal that Cheng Chao felt uncomfortable and kept avoiding it.
However, Cheng Jin also wanted to sigh. He had originally hoped to use his brother's illness to ease the tension between the two of them, but now, Cheng Chao was caught in the middle, and it seemed that no matter what he did, it wouldn't be a good situation.
Watching Cheng Chaowan and the others walk over in a few steps, then immediately get to work, I was speechless for a moment.
Their real intention wasn't to have him come and work; they just saw that he was uncomfortable and wanted to find an excuse to let him come out and get some fresh air.
Cheng Rui had cut the watermelon and brought it over to greet them.
"Sis, the watermelon is cold."
"Big brother, come and try the watermelon my sister grew. This one was picked by Xiao An. Come and have a taste!"
Seeing the three children's cautious yet clearly worried expressions, Cheng Chao suddenly froze.
He was getting all sentimental about these trivial and unfounded things, completely oblivious to the fact that his three younger siblings were also worried and upset about him. Once he thought about it, the frustration in his heart suddenly dissipated like air escaping from a balloon.
What was troubling him seemed to have become unimportant at this moment.
He pondered for a moment. In fact, it was less than two minutes. Jian Dan watched his expression change a few times before returning to calm. However, Jian Dan always felt that something had changed about him.
"Big brother? Want some watermelon?"
Regardless of their thoughts, many things in this world do not go according to people's wishes.
Three days later, Jian Dan returned with her child and a pheasant when she heard unexpected yet predictable news: Cheng Jia was gone.
Moreover, given Cheng Jia's current status, he can't even handle the funeral arrangements; he can only hastily pack things up.
With Cheng Jin stepping forward, Liu Weimin didn't make things difficult for him, since Cheng Jia had indeed made a contribution in this matter.
But at that time, even when villagers held funerals, they didn't make a fuss about it, let alone those who had been sent down to the countryside.
Even though Cheng Jin and Cheng Chao were unhappy, they couldn't go too far. They could only tidy up the body properly and then, with Jian Dan, go into the mountains to find a beautiful place to bury it.
Actually, it's hard to explain what kind of feeling it is.
It's hard to say how reluctant I am to part with it.
Cheng Jia has been here for quite some time, but there hasn't been much time to get along. On the surface, Cheng Jia and Ming's father are both sent down to the countryside and have to work during the day.
Jian Dan didn't want to cause trouble, so he didn't have any official connection with them. Even when he delivered things there at night, he did it secretly, and at first, he didn't even show his face.
Jian Dan isn't a very enthusiastic person, and he hates trouble. He'll stay silent if he can avoid it, and it's even less likely that he'll take the initiative. How deep can the relationship be?
However, after all, he was a blood relative, and there was also the connection with Cheng Chao, so Jian Dan still felt quite heavy-hearted. Cheng Jia had fought for the country for more than ten years and was a hero.
