Ruan Zaiqing held it in for many days before telling Mu Ruanruan about Jiang Xianfeng, also known as Jiang He's grandfather.
The incident of the traitor that year was indeed a misunderstanding. At the request of his superiors, Ruan Xianfeng went to the enemy camp as an undercover agent to carry out the tasks assigned by his superiors. He worked as an undercover agent for three years.
In order to make this matter true and credible, the news was directly released that Jiang Xianfeng had betrayed the country and was a traitor.
As a result, newspapers and news outlets reported on this incident. Since he held a high position at the time, this news was very shocking. According to him, he did not have any relatives or friends, so whether this incident would affect his family was not a consideration at all.
Later, the mission was completed. Jiang Xianfeng completed the mission gloriously and was praised by his superiors. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he changed his name to Jiang Chu.
Most people call him Jiang Chu, while a few are still used to calling him Jiang Xianfeng.
For example, Qi Siji is one of them. He said that the name Jiang Xianfeng is a symbol of honor, so why should it be changed? There is no need to change it at all.
But Jiang Xianfeng himself was very persistent.
The second year after he returned, he married a girl from the division headquarters and lived a happy life.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. The big boss at the division headquarters was labeled a rightist and demoted. Jiang Chu was also affected and became a rightist.
Jiang Chu also went to the countryside to work and only came back after working there for several years.
His wife also went to the countryside with him and gave birth to two children for him while they were there. One of them died in the countryside, and the other little woman came back with him.
But more than ten years ago, Jiang Chu's wife went out for a trip and fell while climbing a steep peak. Her body was never found, and his wife also died a few years later due to excessive grief.
Now, he has been cleared of all charges and reinstated, but there is no one around him who understands him.
He only had a sister-in-law who would visit him from time to time. Initially, he wanted her to stay with him, but she disagreed. He then isolated himself for several years, and only in the past three or four years has he begun to interact with his old comrades.
"That sister-in-law is Aunt Qian Xin?"
"Yes, she said that the two women of the Qian family couldn't both fall into his hands, so she was unwilling to do it."
"Aunt Qian Xin treats you..."
Ruan Zaiqing nodded, "She's fallen in love with the wrong person."
"Doesn't he know that his wife and children are still alive?" Mu Ruanruan asked.
He should know that there are other veterans in Shangshui Village. He would know the information by just asking around. Why does he act like he doesn't know anything?
He couldn't have been unaware of the impact of the traitor and rightist issues on his wife and children. Why, after returning and completing his mission, would he rather change his name than take care of his wife and children?
They will be branded as traitors for the rest of their lives.
Not only his wife, but even his grandson was badly affected.
They did the hardest and most tiring work, earned the fewest work points, and their eldest grandson even had a broken leg. The two brothers survived with such difficulty.
Does he really not know or care about any of this?
Ruan Zaiqing was silent for a long time, then he sighed deeply and said, "I may know the reason."
"What is it?" Mu Ruanruan seemed to empathize with him and wanted to know the reason behind it. She hoped that Jiang Xianfeng had his own difficulties.
"We were also infantrymen at first. Later, when airplanes were available, the army sent people to learn flying techniques. Ten people went, and he and I were selected. He was my senior, and our master taught us flying techniques. Later, during a mission, our master never came back.
He is very smart and learns things faster than I do. Without the guidance of a master, I still don’t understand many of the movements and their meanings, so he taught me, just like a master, step by step.
We practice together, go on missions together, and conduct exercises together.
Once, there was a problem with the plane. It was his plane. Because it was old, some parts had problems. We all thought he would not be able to come back, and he himself thought he would not be able to come back either.
That night, we lay in the same bed, neither of us spoke, and we just kept smoking.
Later, after finishing his cigarette and still unable to sleep, he said to me: "I'll tell you a secret."
I said, what secret.
He said, 'Actually, I'm married and have a son.'
I was surprised he never told me this.
His eyes were very sad and red, as if he had been crying. He said, "That son is not mine."
! !
Mu Ruanruan never thought that this matter would be so bloody.
He will feel that his son is not his.
So he would rather stay away than think about the mother and son, which may also be a bit of a punishment.
But no one in Shangshui Village has talked about this matter. If this matter is true, there must be some clues and gossip. Why is there nothing?
Since the matter is so ridiculous, it might be even more ridiculous that Jiang Xianfeng misunderstood his wife.
"How did he confirm this? Could he have made a mistake?"
Ruan Zaiqing was struggling, as if there was something he was reluctant to say, and Mu Ruanruan guessed it.
Maybe he caught someone cheating in bed, and then speculated about the birth of a child, so he confirmed his son's identity.
But this kind of speculation can easily be wrong.
"You don't have to worry about this. His tone was very certain at the time," said Ruan Zaiqing.
"Even now, he is unwilling to recognize the child?" Mu Ruanruan asked.
"From his tone, he doesn't seem as determined as he was back then. But I'm afraid it won't be that easy to recognize each other."
Mu Ruanruan was a little angry. "Is he so sure about what happened back then? Medical technology is advanced now. Why don't the two of them do a genetic comparison to avoid lifelong regrets in the future? I always feel that there is something fishy about this matter. It may not be what he thinks."
Ruan Zaiqing sighed.
Mu Ruanruan: "Grandpa, just go and persuade them. I'll go find Jiang Lan and the others. It will be quick. Doesn't he want to put an end to this matter completely? If not, then naturally their life and death have nothing to do with him, but what if they are relatives?"
For Ruan Zaiqing, who had just found his relatives, he understood this very well. He was unwilling to give up hope even if there was a slight possibility.
However, for Jiang Xianfeng, who has been heartbroken for more than 40 years, the past is like a thorn buried in his heart. It hurts even to move it, and it may not be easy to pull it out now.
But retreat is not Ruan Zaiqing's principle in life.
He called Jiang Xianfeng again, right in front of Mu Ruanruan.
The phone rang about ten times before someone picked up.
Ruan Zaiqing went straight to the point: "Let's do a genetic comparison. You're not entirely sure about what happened back then, are you?"
