After a while, Ye Jian asked in confusion, "Why haven't we exchanged letters in four years?"
"Because, when our country was researching missiles and satellites, it was done secretly on a 'zero basis'. To keep it secret, all scientists involved in the research were not allowed to leave the research base easily, let alone contact their families at will. They lived a life isolated from the world." Xia Jinyuan answered Ye Jian in a deep and respectful voice, "It's normal that the old man hasn't had any correspondence with his family for four years."
Hearing this, Ye Jian stood in awe.
Li Jinnian knew that Xia Jinyuan was speaking for him, so he nodded slightly to express his gratitude. "My grandparents are both engaged in research and development, and they seldom come home. They can't always know what's going on with my mother and uncle. It's normal for them not to receive letters from their children for a year."
"That's why my grandfather didn't know that my uncle had been in solitary confinement for a year, let alone that he was planning to get married."
"After my uncle secretly reported this matter, my grandfather immediately asked his friends to inquire about it, but he found nothing. There was no female soldier named "Hongmei" in the army."
Ye Jian's fingertips were trembling. Didn't mom... tell... anyone her real name? So, no one knew where she was?
A year later, she returned to the army to look for her mother. At that time, her mother was not in the army at all, but had returned home to give birth to her!
So, that’s why I didn’t find out her whereabouts?
Ye Jian's heart was already in turmoil as she made random guesses, thinking...
"A year ago, my uncle and aunt were planning to get married. A year later, my grandfather went to inquire about them, but there was no news at all. For a long time, my grandfather wondered if my uncle had gone insane after being locked up for a year, and the so-called fiancée was just a figment of my uncle's imagination and did not exist."
"If it weren't for this photo..." Li Jinnian took out the old photo of Ao again, lowered his eyes and stared at the young man and woman in the photo, and his cold voice had a slight ripple, "It was this photo that allowed my grandfather to confirm that my uncle did have a fiancée who was ready to get a marriage certificate."
Handing the photo back to Ye Jian, Li Jinnian's cold and stern eyes revealed a faint light that was full of hope. "Ye Jian, I would like to ask you to take a good look at this photo again, okay?"
There were so many emotions in his eyes that made Ye Jian's heart heavy that she didn't even have the courage to reach out.
What if... I really recognized the wrong person?
She was hesitant to reach out to take it, so Li Jinnian kept handing it to her, waiting patiently for her to reach out her hand.
"Take it and take a good look at it." Xia Jinyuan tightened her hand in his, moved closer to her, and said gently and calmly: "For your own sake and for the old man's sake, you should take it and take a good look at it."
The familiar scent that brought peace of mind to her heart lingered around her, giving her the courage to reach out her hand.
The moment he took the photo, Ye Jian saw that Li Jinnian's straight shoulders relaxed significantly... He was actually afraid... afraid that he would be rejected again.
Ye Jian took a deep breath and lowered her eyes. She was not mistaken. The young woman in the photo was indeed her mother.
There is a photo in the diary of my mother wearing a military uniform and showing the same smile. Even the size is the same. The only difference is that it is a photo of my mother alone.
