At the mention of his daughter who had passed away, the old man's smile faded. "Your mother was weak when she was young. It was your grandmother and I who mistreated her and caused her to pass away early."
"If you say that, Mom would be sad if she was still alive." Li Jinnian pursed his lips and looked at the old man with a steady gaze. "Mom never thought that you and grandmother mistreated her. If it weren't for you two protecting her, I might not even exist in this world."
"Your mother was considerate since she was young." The old man's withered fingers gently caressed his daughter who had passed away almost 20 years ago. Tears were already glistening in his eyes. "Your mother, your uncle … they suffered too much with us."
Li Jinnian raised his hand and gently wiped the tears from the corners of the old man's eyes. His grandfather and grandmother had suffered too much, but they still contributed to the country without any complaints or regrets. This was something he admired very much.
The old man and his grandmother's three sons and one daughter died one after another. When his wife was 37 years old, she gave birth to another daughter, Jinnian's mother, Fu Yu 'an.
Their life had been stable for less than two years, but then there was a storm. Because the Fu family was suddenly reported for harboring evil intentions, the Fu family, who had finally found a place to live, was in trouble again.
Old Master Fu's youngest sister and the only daughter of the Fu family, Miss Fu, got married in a hurry. Half a year later, Old Master Fu gave his one-month-old son, Fu Yusheng, to his sister's family. Originally, he wanted to go back and pick him up after the chaos, but he didn't expect that his youngest son, Fu Yusheng, would be left with his sister's family until he was four years old.
Later, his sister's family broke off contact, and he also lost contact with his only son, Fu Yusheng. It wasn't until Fu Yusheng was ten years old that he was found and brought back to his side.
"Yu An, Yusheng … I only wanted Yusheng to be safe, but in the end, I didn't want them to be safe." The old man flipped through the photo album page by page. When he saw his three sons and one daughter who died young and his youngest daughter who died young, his heart was heavy.
When he saw a handsome young man with dashing eyebrows and bright eyes, the old man sighed from the depths of his chest. It was so heavy that the air seemed to freeze.
"Jinnian, Uncle hasn't been home for four years. I don't know why, but I keep thinking about him." This was his only son who had grown up and was also the only child who was still alive. His lifeless voice trembled a little. "… I don't know if I can wait for him to come back."
After saying that, the old man coughed deeply. At that moment, his hunched back bent even more, and he looked even older.
Li Jinnian, who quickly stood up to soothe the old man, said in a low voice, "It's because of the nature of my uncle's work. He can't come back even if he wants to. Don't worry. He will come back to see you as soon as he finishes his work."
Li Jinnian's uncle, Fu Yusheng, had taken over his father's business and was now engaged in missile research in a remote area of the country. It was common for him to not return for three to five years.
The old man, whose health was deteriorating day by day, often thought of his only living son. Sometimes, he would stare at Fu Yusheng's photo for an entire day.
When he heard this, Li Jinnian, who was trembling with fear, pursed his lips into a sharp line. Due to the nature of his uncle's work, he couldn't be filial to his grandfather, but as a junior, he had to share his elder's burdens and solve his problems. Ye Chien … he still had to find her!
"Jinnian, if Grandfather doesn't wait for your uncle to come back, you have to remember to continue looking for your aunt on behalf of your uncle and the Fu family. You have to find her. Even if … she's no longer alive, you have to find her family, understand?"
