"It's more than just rich! Back then, our family was truly wealthy, but unfortunately, in troubled times, wealth was useless! Your grandfather saw the situation most clearly, so he donated most of his wealth to our Party in the fight against the Japanese. But he couldn't let go of his ancestral legacy and was reluctant to flee Nanchang.
By the time he realized what was happening, it was too late to escape. After Nanchang was captured, he knew he couldn't escape. Given the brutality of the Japanese, there was no way he could escape. So he asked me to take some dry food and hide in a small secret room at the bottom of the well for a full ten days.
When I finished my rations and was too hungry to bear it, I climbed out of the well, but all that was left was ruins. Your grandfather had told me to flee to the capital, because that was the only way to survive. So I obeyed his orders and fled here.
Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help but sigh. In that era, the Ye family had been in such a situation countless times.
Although it was cruel, Ye Zhiqiu couldn't particularly empathize with it. After all, he wasn't the original body, and certainly not from this era. He just felt a little sad that this cheap dad's experience was a bit tragic.
But he was a little confused, so he asked, "Dad, why are you suddenly telling me this? You've been hiding it for so many years, why are you suddenly telling me?"
Ye Tianya patted his shoulder and said seriously, "This branch of our family has been passed down, but the copy of the family tree left to me was burned by the Japanese. If you have the opportunity to go to Hong Kong or Southeast Asia in the future, you must find your eldest uncle Ye Zuze and second uncle Ye Zuyou.
Ask them to copy the family tree and register our family in it, otherwise our ancestors won't recognize us! Remember, your father's real name is Ye Zuxin. According to the tradition of bringing honor to the ancestors and carrying on the legacy, you should be of the Cheng generation.
If there is a chance to re-record the family tree, you can choose a name with the character "Cheng" and enter it into the family tree. Given the current situation, I don't know if I will have the chance to see that day..."
Wang Xiaolan held Ye Tianya's hand tightly. The two of them had been through ups and downs for almost twenty years, and their relationship was truly wonderful. Whenever she heard Ye Tianya's somewhat disheartening words, she would comfort him with her actions.
Ye Zhiqiu felt a chill in his heart. They were already an old couple, but she was forcing him to eat dog food!
He said angrily, "Come on, if you want to show off your affection, go back to your room. What's the point of doing this in front of me? So, just because I'm single, I have to endure this kind of persecution?"
"Son, you're eighteen now, it's time to find someone to date!"
"That's right. I don't have much to do at home anyway. While I'm out shopping, I'll look for pretty girls and find a partner for our son."
Ye Zhiqiu rolled his eyes at the two of them, lit a cigarette, and then said to Wang Xiaolan, "I've already made an agreement with the villagers. Mom, you can go cut grass to feed the rabbits, but be careful not to damage other people's crops.
By the way, if anyone asks you, just say that you were the one who raised rabbits for the factory on the 16th, and no one will give you any trouble. "
Wang Xiaolan said happily: "Boss, you are really amazing. You solved this problem in one trip!"
Ye Zhiqiu said proudly, "That's right. I went to pass out some cigarettes and explained the situation. If they spoke politely to me, they wouldn't give me a hard time, and we were able to settle the matter smoothly.
In other words, it's now a collective thing. In the past, we wouldn't have needed their consent at all!"
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. This is the current social environment. Ye Zhiqiu has no choice but to abide by the rules.
After chatting with the two for a while, he went to get his clothes and take a shower. Tomorrow I have to go to the job registration process and pick up my stuff. I will officially start work on the 1st of the day after tomorrow.
In fact, generally speaking, the first day of employment involves arranging dormitories, distributing labor protection supplies, and giving new employees time to sort out their daily life affairs.
After taking a shower, Wang Xiaolan took the clothes and washed them. Ye Tianya was not idle either, and helped to get water from the kitchen.
Ye Wubing and Ye Bailu went to bed early. They had gotten up early this morning and they had put in a lot of effort in moving things, so they went to bed early tonight.
Ye Zhiqiu took a dry old towel, dried his hair, sat in the yard and smoked a cigarette, then went back to rest.
At six o'clock the next day, Ye Tianya's excited voice rang out.
"Boss, it's six o'clock, get up quickly!"
"Why are you doing this so early? I'm going to work today, not just the job application process..."
Since this place isn't close to a factory or a school, there's no announcement to remind us to wake up. However, among the things the factory gave us was a receipt for an alarm clock.
Because many industrial products are only issued with tickets to those who need them. Those who don't need them won't get the corresponding tickets. For example, if you really need a bicycle ticket, such as a family with a mobility disability who needs to go to the hospital frequently, you can apply for a bicycle ticket!
The big clock hanging in the Ye family is also the wind-up kind. It can run for about a week at a time. Everyone uses this kind.
Although he was talking, Ye Zhiqiu had already been woken up, so he got up and went to wash up.
I don’t know what time Wang Xiaolan got up, but she had already cooked the rice porridge. It was served with stir-fried beans with chili peppers, which was quite tasty.
After breakfast, it was not even seven o'clock and Ye Tianya wanted to take Ye Zhiqiu out.
He lit a cigarette and joked, "What's the matter? You're late and your work is gone? Seriously, I know you're excited, Dad. I didn't want to ruin your mood, but you're too silly!"
They start work at 8 o'clock, so there's no point in dragging me there early! What's the point of just waiting? We're only starting work today, so we only need to go there in the morning to complete the paperwork, collect our belongings, and bring our certificate to the police station to register our residence.
Then register the three of them, go to the street office and register, and you'll be fine! But I'm thinking about getting a bicycle ticket and getting you a bicycle. After all, it takes at least 25 minutes to walk there!"
Ye Tianya's eyes lit up. Bicycles are great! He quickly said to Wang Xiaolan beside him, "Wife, do you want to buy a bicycle? If I had a bicycle, I could take you out for a stroll on my days off! We used to rush around just to make ends meet, and we haven't really explored the capital yet!"
I have to say that Wang Xiaolan was a little tempted. Although her son was a purchasing agent and would be equipped with a bicycle, it was a public bicycle.
If you have a big item like a bicycle at home, it will be a big plus for your son when looking for a partner!
She gritted her teeth and said, "Son, you still have to buy a bicycle! After all, when you have a girlfriend, you won't be able to ride the factory bicycle with a girl. I remember the purchaser's panniers were all fixed with iron frames and couldn't be removed at all. So, I'll buy you this bicycle!"
This is indeed the case. After all, if the saddle basket is not fixed well, it is easy to fall down when pulling heavy objects. Especially when you purchase chicken and duck eggs, they will break in minutes!
But Ye Zhiqiu was a little depressed. He was only eighteen years old! His family was already thinking about him getting married so early!
