After talking with two scientists from the Institute of Aerospace, Mr. Fu came to his usual rest room on crutches. He suffered a lot when he was young, and worked day and night after entering the Institute of Aerospace. Now he is old and has difficulty walking. He has to use crutches even at home.
Li Jinnian was resting with his eyes closed. When he heard the sound of the sliding door, he suddenly opened his eyes and quickly stood up.
"Please go slowly." He helped the old man into the house and gently reminded him. He helped his grandfather, who was still busy with his white hair, to sit down steadily. "You are old now. It is better not to worry about the affairs of the Aerospace Institute. Don't work too hard or your body will not be able to bear it."
Facing his only grandson, Mr. Fu patted the back of his hand and said kindly, "I don't worry about him, I just chat with him occasionally. Once a person has some free time, his brain will get rusty if it is not used properly. It is better to use it more while it can still work."
The old man who sat down saw the photo album on the low table at a glance. Due to its age, the edges and corners of the album had turned yellow. His eyes, although cloudy but still full of wisdom, fell on the album. His skinny hands trembled as he stroked the album cover. On his face, which was so old that there were brown age spots, there was a faint but indelible sadness.
"Since your grandmother passed away, I have rarely looked through it." The old man sighed softly. The album contains memories of his life, as well as the indelible sadness of his life.
Born into a wealthy family, even though he was still served by a housekeeper and two servants when he studied in the United States, he and his wife suffered torture in order to return to serve their motherland, and were almost killed by American bullets several times.
After finally returning to China, their family had fallen into poverty and before they had a chance to show their talents, they were forced to leave the Aerospace Institute and live an inhuman life. Between the ages of 28 and 35, his three sons and one daughter born to his first wife died young, and he experienced all the sorrows of the world.
Mr. Fu's ancestors enjoyed too much, and he brought all the retribution on his children. Many times he and his wife wanted to tie him to a tree with a hemp rope and tie it around his neck. It would be better to die.
But thinking of their own motherland in dire straits, with no aerospace, missiles, or satellites, they could not bear to leave such a great country so backward. They cried several times and wiped their tears after crying. The couple continued to draw various pictures silently, lived in the basement, and completed the simplest experiments with the simplest materials.
The old man flipped through the album and looked at the photo of his first wife whose smile remained in time. He smiled and said to Li Jinnian, "When your grandmother was young, she was a beauty within a ten-mile radius. People who wanted to marry her lined up at the gate of Yangzhou. Her aloof temperament attracted countless suitors even abroad."
Recalling his first wife, the old man smiled softly, with a little sparkle in his wise eyes, "Your mother looks like your grandmother, and you also look like your grandmother."
"Uninformed about worldly affairs? Grandfather, are you kidding me?" Li Jinnian was afraid of making the old man too sad, so he rarely joked to himself, "If I became ignorant of worldly affairs, you would be worried. You might worry that I would become a monk."
The old man laughed, "You are not much different from a monk now. You are so young but you always have a cold face. If a girl sees you, she will be scared."
"When your mother was alive, she often told me that being mature at a young age is not a good thing. She was afraid that you would be too cold-tempered and easily suffer losses. Your grandmother and I were also worried, but later when we saw how smart you were, we realized that these were unnecessary worries."
