Ye Dawu said happily: "I am nine years older than your father. In fact, I have taken care of him for many years. It was only because your aunt had to go to the war that the master sent me to protect her.
Later, she disappeared, and the master sent us out to find her alive or dead! But after a long search, we found no clues, so we returned home.
Our Ye family's old house was destroyed, and everyone scattered. I was the only one who didn't want to run away, so I stayed at the old house. Later, I reunited with your eldest aunt, and I followed her to fight against the Japanese.
Because for so many years, there was no news about your father, and we were all desperate, thinking that he was gone. Fortunately, the spirit of the master in heaven blessed us and helped Master Zuxin to turn the bad luck into good luck.
Ye Zhiqiu was a little confused. It was a new era now, but why did Ye Daou look so sad when he mentioned his grandfather?
Logically speaking, a child born in a family is the descendant of the family's slaves. Shouldn't he resent the fate of being a slave from birth?
He couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, what kind of person is my grandfather? My father said he was very strict, and he was away doing business for a long time, so he said he didn't understand my grandfather at all."
Ye Daogu was silent for a while, then he said very sadly, "The master is actually a very good person. You should know that I am a child of the Ye family. But you don't know that the master doesn't treat us as slaves!"
We grew up in the Ye family. We had no worries about food and clothing, and we all had to go to school. When we grew up and started our own families, the master would ask us to leave the Ye family.
In fact, the master was more like our adoptive father. After raising us and letting us get married, he gave us some money and sent us out to make our own way.
Whether you succeed or not, that is all up to each person. In fact, your grandfather was the most open-minded person. In an era that valued sons over daughters, he loved your eldest aunt the most!
So when your aunt joined the revolution, although he was worried about her safety, he also respected her choice. And the only time the master assigned me a task was to protect your aunt.
So don't misunderstand your grandfather. He is the best man under heaven. The most painful thing in my life is that I couldn't go home in time to protect him.
But I also followed your aunt and killed a lot of devils, avenging your grandfather! I only regret that I didn't kill enough devils. No matter how many devils died, it would not be enough to repay this hatred! "
For a moment, Ye Zhiqiu didn't know what to say. After so many years, Ye Daogu still gritted his teeth when he mentioned the word hatred.
He couldn't imagine how much his grandfather loved him.
No wonder my aunt and the others trusted him so much, and even told him all the information about my stepfather and myself.
After leaving the Gulou Police Station and driving for half an hour, they arrived at the gate of a large compound. Ye Dawu took Ye Zhiqiu out of the car, took him to register his information, and received a stamped temporary pass, and then he was released.
Ye Zhiqiu finally understood why the place was heavily guarded, because he actually saw some fortifications and even cannons and machine guns!
It was the first time he saw security personnel carrying machine guns and cannons, which was really scary.
After parking the car, he obediently followed Ye Daigu, who was holding a pass, and walked inside. It turned out that there were security guards checking passes on the first floor of each building.
After checking like this, Ye Zhiqiu followed Ye Daigu into the stairs and walked up.
As they walked, Ye Dawu said to Ye Zhiqiu, "Your cousin lives in Building 301. No one without a pass can enter here alone."
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and nodded. This defensive display made him feel a little uneasy. Would the aunt who lived here be particularly strict, with murderous eyes?
But since they were already here, there was no reason to retreat. Soon the two of them arrived at the door of Room 301, and Ye Daogu knocked on the door.
After a while, the door was opened and a young woman came out to open it. When she saw that it was Ye Daogu, she smiled and said, "Uncle, why are you here at this time?"
Ye Dawu introduced them with a smile: "This is Ye Zhiqiu, and this is Cai Shuping. You should call her cousin-in-law!"
Ye Zhiqiu hurriedly greeted her, but it looked like Cai Shuping didn't know him. It wasn't particularly warm, nor was it cold, just an ordinary greeting.
The two of them went inside, and Ye Dawu asked, "Where's my eldest sister? Isn't she home today?"
Cai Shuping replied, "She and Huaiqing took their two children to play at Uncle Liu's house next door, but Weidong and Weibing insisted on going over there to ride the wooden horse.
I also told her mother that it is so inconvenient for her to walk up the stairs, so she should not always spoil these two little ones! But she just won’t listen, and there is nothing I can do! "
Ye Dawu nodded and said, "Then go and tell her to come back. Don't say anything too much. Just say I'm here as a guest."
Cai Shuping was a little surprised because this had never happened before. In the past, her cousin Ye Dawu would always wait for her mother-in-law to come home. This was the first time he had asked her to come home.
She looked at Ye Zhiqiu and was a little suspicious whether it was because of this young man.
Seeing that Cai Shuping hadn't left yet, Ye Dawu spoke again, "Go quickly and come back soon. Remember, just tell her I'm a guest. No need to say anything else. Do you understand?"
Cai Shuping could only nod and then walked outside.
The house here is large, with a sofa, a radio, and appliances like a fan in the living room. On the table are apples, biscuits in a tin box, and some candy.
Ye Dawu went to make tea. He was very familiar with this place and it seemed that he came here often.
However, Ye Zhiqiu did not find it strange. According to Ye Daigu, the person closest to him in this world, besides his wife and children, might be Ye Zuying!
After the tea was brewed, Ye Dawu poured a cup for him. He then asked Ye Zhiqiu, "Zhiqiu, you haven't gone through the formalities for transferring to a new job yet, have you? If you have already done so, it would be difficult to arrange a job later."
Ye Zhiqiu shook his head and replied, "My cousin told me that before I go through the formalities, I should go to see you first and meet my aunt before I can go and handle it."
"Very good. I'll discuss this with your aunt later. Since you've made contributions in the army, and with the bonus of the top-secret mission over there, we'll definitely give you the rank of regular officer."
Ye Zhiqiu was actually a little amused, because this cheap cousin seemed to be only a regular student, right?
Why do you say such arrogant words?
But Ye Zhiqiu was not stupid enough to say it out loud, so he could only remain silent. It was inappropriate to say anything at this time, so it would be better to wait and see what seemed appropriate.
Ye Dawu was quite satisfied. The young master's son was much calmer than the young master!
In his impression, Ye Zuxin was still the naughty boy he used to be. Back then, when they took him out to play, they often took the blame for him!
