Ye Zuze pulled Ye Zhiqiu to look at him. He said excitedly, "Looks like him, very much like him! What's your name, kid? Why don't you call him Second Uncle yet?"
Ye Zhiqiu hurriedly called out, "Second uncle, my name is Ye Zhiqiu. My father's original name was Ye Zuxin, but he changed his name to Ye Tianya. I came to Hong Kong to complete a mission this time. I got your address from my aunt, so I wanted to pay you a visit, but I didn't expect that I couldn't even get through the door..."
"Haha, good boy, you need a pass to enter and exit here. I'll get it for you later. Now go home with your uncle and tell me about your father later."
Ye Zhiqiu naturally nodded in agreement, but it was actually quite awkward because Ye Zuze and Ye Tianya were too similar, just much older.
Just like that, Ye Zhiqiu got into the car and the two cars turned around and drove back.
Actually, not everyone could live in Repulse Bay at that time. This was a wealthy area for foreigners, and it was really difficult for Chinese to live here.
Moreover, these foreigners emphasize private territory, even the roads are private, and ordinary people don’t even have the right to use them. That’s right, walking on someone else’s private road is illegal!
You can imagine how low the status of Chinese people is!
Ye Zuze spent a lot of money to buy a villa here, so he naturally has the right to use it. Fortunately, these foreigners only care about money, and they treat the rich differently.
It actually took fifteen minutes to drive from the main gate to No. 16! Ye Zhiqiu was dumbfounded. No wonder he waited for more than twenty minutes without any response. It turned out that even Second Uncle and the others had to drive out for fifteen minutes!
He couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, how big is this place? It takes fifteen minutes to drive here. I'm afraid there must be quite a lot of people living here."
Ye Zuze explained with a smile, "Besides Mid-Levels and the Peak, there are also some wealthy families who have bought land to build private islands. Seventy percent of Hong Kong's wealthy people live here! Your uncle isn't doing well enough, so I can only buy a house in a more remote area. Naturally, it takes me longer to get home."
Ye Zhiqiu didn't take it seriously, as he knew his second and third uncles had left with a lot of money. Furthermore, they were able to help the mainland purchase the necessary machinery and equipment, proving they must be very wealthy.
But he doesn't care about these. After all, if he wants to make money, he might as well rob foreign banks!
Eh?
Ye Zhiqiu thought this was a good idea. After all, the foreigners were exploited, so it was only right for him to make some money himself!
But if you find the right time, you can really make a move!
The car stopped in front of a big gate, which was quickly opened. As the car drove in, Ye Zhiqiu was a little shocked.
This second uncle is not honest. He even says that he is not doing well. This three-story villa has many small buildings next to it, and there are seven or eight antique cars of various types parked in the yard.
Of course, Ye Zhiqiu looked at antique cars from the perspective of later generations. These were indeed antique cars, but in this era, these were popular luxury cars!
The servant opened the car door, and Ye Zhiqiu got out and looked around. The front yard was probably several acres of spacious land, with a pavilion, a pond, rockery, and a variety of flowers and trees.
But what made him feel most distracted was a few acres of land in a remote corner, planted with all kinds of vegetables...
Ye Zuze pulled Ye Zhiqiu and said with a smile, "What's so good about this shabby yard? Your cousins aren't home. I'll notify them to come back and meet you soon. You're not allowed to go anywhere. Just stay at home. I'm afraid you've suffered a lot over the years. You're much darker than your grandfather!"
Ye Zhiqiu explained with a smile: "Haha, Second Uncle, I served in the army in Xinjiang for two years. I was exposed to the sun and wind for two years, so I got tanned. I was demobilized and returned to Beijing at the end of last year. It's also because I've been recuperating for so long, otherwise I would have been even darker when I first came back."
Ye Zuze pulled Ye Zhiqiu inside and asked in surprise, "Are you settled in Beijing now? Is this why you contacted your aunt? Why did your father run away from Nanchang to Beijing? He should have gone to Guangzhou. Our family still had someone in Guangzhou at that time, so he could have come directly to Hong Kong!"
Ye Tianya did mention this matter, and Ye Zhiqiu explained, "Uncle, the situation was critical at the time. Nanchang had already been occupied by the Japanese invaders. My father fled with the crowd and got on the train to Shanghai by mistake.
When he arrived in Shanghai, he found that the situation there was not stable either. He was worried that the tragedy of the fall of Nanchang would happen again, so he fled to Beijing. He changed his name, married my mother Wang Xiaolan in Beijing, and gave birth to us.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he felt the countryside was safer, so he left the capital and went to live in the countryside. It wasn't until I grew up, got a job, and moved back to the city with my family that he revealed some things to me. Only then did I realize that the Ye family had so many members!
Ye Zuze said sadly, "It's not easy! Your grandparents died at that time, and even their remains have not been found! You have suffered so much over the years. I have been asking the mainland to help find your father's information, and accidentally contacted your aunt, but your aunt has never found your father either.
"So he changed his name. What a fool! We couldn't find him for so many years. All these years have passed, and I thought your father was dead. I burned paper money for him for so many years in vain!"
As I walked into the living room, a group of people came to greet me!
Ye Zuze introduced them.
"This is Li Wenhui, your second aunt. This is Wang Jingying and He Chunli. You can just call them aunt."
"Ye Zuxin's eldest son, Ye Zhiqiu, greets his second aunt! He greets Aunt Wang and Aunt He!"
Li Wenhui pulled Ye Zhiqiu and cried with excitement, which made him a little overwhelmed. She kept saying, "It's like, it's exactly like the old man!"
Ye Zuze explained, "There's a big age gap between your father and me. Your second aunt took care of your father for a long time, and they have a very good relationship."
Ye Zhiqiu scratched his head and could only let Li Wenhui pull him and answer her questions.
In fact, there were two people holding children present, who should be my cousin's wife. But given the situation, Ye Zhiqiu just smiled and nodded as a greeting.
Ye Zuze asked the housekeeper to inform his children to go home early today to meet their cousins.
After Li Wenhui controlled herself, she asked about Ye Zuxin's situation and family members, and then began to introduce him to his two cousins' wives.
He also introduced the population of their family, and it turned out to be quite a large one!
Ye Zuze's eldest son is Ye Chengye, 30 years old; his second son is Ye Chengfu, 27 years old; his third son is Ye Chengde, 22 years old; his fourth daughter is Ye Chengyue, 21 years old this year; and his fifth daughter is Ye Chengxuan, 19 years old.
My three cousins are all married, I have two nephews and one niece, and now only my two cousins are not married.
