Ye Zhiqiu took a long puff of cigarette, he heaved a sigh of relief, and then said to Ye Tianya: "It's all right now, I have been hiding two things that I cannot tell you, and these things have always been a burden to me.
One incident happened when I was in the army. I actually met my father-in-law, and he told me he was not doing well and asked me to take good care of my daughter and daughter. I kept it to myself, but because of a promise I made, I couldn't tell Xiaomei and the others. It was really hard and painful.
The other thing is about my aunt. They also asked me not to tell you, but I was so depressed! Now you found out by yourself, Dad. It’s not because I broke my promise and revealed it.”
Ye Tianya nodded and asked, "You are great. People who can keep secrets will not be troubled. Now can you tell me about your aunt's situation?"
Ye Zhiqiu nodded and whispered, "Actually, the first time I met my cousin was when I was in the army. We were participating in a secret construction mission at the time. I won't tell you the details.
My oldest cousin, Li Youguo, knew my details and came to meet me. I had just passed out from heatstroke. It was a strange experience. I opened my eyes and suddenly there was my cousin, and my lost aunt was back to life.
My eldest aunt has three children. My uncle is Li Zhenhua. My eldest cousin is Li Youguo, as I mentioned earlier, and he currently has a son named Li Weidong. My second cousin is Li Youmin, and they have a child named Li Weibing. My cousin is Li Youhong; I've never met her, but I know she's in the art troupe.
My aunt didn't let me share their information with you because they're in a tough spot. She's been sent down to a factory in Guangzhou with my uncle. And my cousins aren't doing so well either. After all, my uncle holds a high position, and many people are watching the Li family. They're even more afraid to acknowledge our family, fearing they'll be a burden to us.
As for my second and third uncles, my eldest aunt has already contacted them and given me their mailing addresses. She told me not to contact them unless absolutely necessary, as correspondence with them would be investigated.
This is the situation. In fact, your job was arranged by your uncle through many connections. His purpose was to improve our family's living conditions.
My job was the same. Originally, after I retired, I should have been treated as a deputy section chief, but they made me a full section chief. They wanted me to have more confidence to marry Feng Xiaomei.
Ye Tianya was very happy to hear this. He said happily, "That's good, that's good... God still blesses our Ye family. The four of us siblings are all alive. It's really great..."
Ye Zhiqiu spoke out the whole thing in one breath, and he felt much more relaxed. This kind of psychological pressure of hiding a secret is actually not usually manifested, but it really can cause a lot of mental stress.
Originally, the two secrets of time travel and space were enough for him to hide, but he still had to bear these unspeakable things. Now that he had spoken out, solving the two secrets hidden in his heart, he felt a sense of relief.
Ye Zhiqiu looked at the happy Ye Tianya and said with emotion, "Dad, you hid it well enough. If that's the case, did you already know about this when my cousins came over?"
Ye Tianya shook his head and said, "Actually, I didn't dare to confirm it at the time. After all, although their eyebrows and eyes resemble your grandmother, how could I dare to confirm it just because of this? In fact, what made me sure that your aunt was still alive was that Ye Dawu came to pay his respects!
When I saw Ye Dawu coming, I wondered if he recognized me. But then I noticed he was talking to you, and I started to doubt it. Then I thought about the two young men who were looking for you, and how much their features resembled your grandmother. Only then did I finally confirm that your aunt was still alive and had recognized you!
Now, I'm so happy to hear that your aunt is still alive! Son, have a few more drinks with me, I want to get drunk tonight!
"Then drink it. Dad, it's good that you know about this. Don't even think about going to meet them, and don't go looking for my cousins. At least not in the next few years. Not only will it not help them, but it will also be a burden to us!"
"Okay, I'll pretend this never happened. Even if your cousin comes to drink with you again in the future, I'll pretend I don't know about it so they don't worry too much."
The two of them opened the wine and started drinking. Ye Tianya really wanted to get drunk.
People are so strange. When they are in a bad mood, they want to get drunk. Now that he is in a good mood, he also wants to get drunk.
However, Ye Zhiqiu had noticed that Ye Tianya looked carefree and seemed to be heartless. After this incident, he completely changed his opinion of him.
I have been doubting it for so many days, but today I finally confirmed it to myself, proving that he is a person who can hide his thoughts!
Wang Xiaolan washed the dishes and added coal to the stove before turning off the kitchen lights and returning to the living room.
Seeing the father and son drinking from their glasses again, she said angrily, "What's wrong with you? Why are you drinking again?"
Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile: "Mom, if you are in a good mood, just drink. Oh, don't worry about it. My dad is in a good mood today and wants to drink a few more cups."
Ye Tianya also said happily: "Wife, I want to get drunk today. Don't worry, I won't vomit."
Wang Xiaolan was too lazy to pay attention to the two of them. She said, "If you dare to spit everywhere, don't blame her for hitting you," and went back to rest. She had no interest in staying here and watching the two of them drink.
Ye Tianya chuckled and said, "Don't look at your mother saying that. If she really vomited, wouldn't she still be taking care of your father and me? This is what happens between husband and wife after a long time. They may say they dislike me, but their concern is hidden behind these words of disdain."
Ye Zhiqiu nodded and said, "I understand this. Xiaomei is the same. I guess all women are like this, saying one thing and thinking another."
The father and son talked a lot and drank a lot until Ye Tianya passed out drunk, and Ye Zhiqiu sighed.
He actually understood that Ye Tianya was hiding a lot of things in his heart! It was just that he was good at disguising himself and didn't show it!
But not all men are like this. They keep everything in their heart and won’t tell others casually. Such men are mature.
If you keep everything to yourself, it's just immaturity. Whether you're happy or sad, it's useless to tell others about it. After all, you don't know what they're thinking, whether they're jealous or mocking you. You can't tell!
Ye Zhiqiu knocked on the door and called Wang Xiaolan. After she opened the door and came out, he whispered to her, "Mom, my dad is drunk. Let's help him together. Dad is really happy today, so he wants to get drunk. He works so hard, but he never tells us. Now I know why he wants to get drunk. It turns out that he is under too much pressure from work."
Wang Xiaolan muttered, "Who doesn't feel pressured? Really... Never mind, let's help him go back and rest. At most, I'll give him an extra dollar in pocket money later..."
Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help but laugh in his heart. He lied to help Ye Tianya explain. But he didn't expect there would be an extra reward. He didn't know when this money-grubber would really disappear.
