Three Hundred and Eighty: Call Him Brother in the Future
Ye Xiu's house is very simple, just a courtyard house, but this courtyard house is not an ordinary type of courtyard house. There is also a forest garden in the backyard, which can be said to be a one-to-one reconstruction of a retro building.
After Ye Xiu took Xu Cheng out of the car, he entered the Ye family compound. The Ye family was also very simple. Ye Xiu's mother was knitting a sweater while watching the news, and Ye's father was still raising plants in the yard wearing big flower glasses at night. Plants are not ordinary flowers, they are very precious, and it is a technical job to be able to support them.
And under a big tree in the corner of the hall, an old man was sitting in a wheelchair listening to opera while taking a nap. It was late at night and he still refused to enter the house, and he seemed to be nearly a hundred years old.
"Xiaoxiu, I called your grandfather into the house, and this old man will listen to you." Ye Xiu's mother in the hall saw Ye Xiu coming in and said to him: "I don't know what happened to the old man recently, Mr. It's a little emotional."
"What do you know, don't say a few words." Father Ye said a few words to his wife.
When Ye Xiu saw the old man under the big tree listening to opera at night, he shook his head thoughtlessly, walked over to his ear and said, "Grandpa, go inside and rest."
Xu Cheng also walked up to the old man, the grandfather of the Ye family suddenly opened his eyes and saw Xu Cheng was a little stunned.
"Xiaoxiu, is this your friend?" the old man asked.
Ye Xiu nodded: "Yes, his name is Xu Cheng."
The old man looked at Xu Cheng and nodded: "Not bad."
Then he said to Ye Xiu: "Go ahead and move a bed for your friend, I'll have a few words with your friend, and when you come out, bring my precious wine over here."
Ye Xiu looked at Xu Cheng and said, "Don't mind, he's just like this."
Xu Cheng nodded: "It's okay, I'll stay with the old man for a while."
Ye Xiu nodded, walked away, and went to prepare a bed for Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng noticed that the old man had been staring at him, and asked curiously, "The old man knows me?"
The old man looked at Xu Cheng with his cloudy eyes, and said calmly, "I've heard of the name, boy, if I were younger, I might kill you."
Xu Cheng was surprised, and then smiled: "Why?"
The old man raised his head to look at Xu Cheng, and said three words: "My surname is Ye. Strictly speaking, I still belong to your foreign grandfather, and your mother's Ye family only belongs to the branch relatives."
Xu Cheng was taken aback for a moment, then came back to his senses, and nodded: "I should have thought of it. But old man, if I come again, I will still do that."
The old man nodded, looked at Xu Cheng and asked, "Do you regret it?"
Xu Cheng squatted down in frustration, nodding his head vigorously.
The old man smiled wryly: "I also understand your feelings. As a member of the Ye family, if I were younger, I would kill you for revenge. Even if I am a great man, I am also a human being, and I also have emotions. But I may not live until now. I will do this. It’s like being a member of the clan, but for the sake of this country, I resolutely broke away from the clan. Even though I have so much reluctance in my heart, standing in front of righteousness, I admire you very much, you You know? At least at your age, I can't make such a bold decision, so you are very good."
Xu Cheng squatted beside the old man and shook his head: "Unfortunately, my mother won't come back to life. If I don't have my father's blood in my bones, maybe I should be more selfish. From the standpoint of the country and family, I will Wish I could choose family."
Mr. Ye: "But you can't, just like me, and you can't, even if you know about Brother Zhang Chenfeng's plan, but from the standpoint of the country, many older generations in the military region can only cooperate with him, because only we These older generations know how important it is for a country to be stable and stable, and how hard-won it is. Therefore, the reason why the plan of "genocide" has no sequelae is that many people actually want to resist, but for today Everyone has endured the situation, and you are not the only one who endures the torment, child."
Xu Cheng nodded thoughtfully, a little belatedly realizing why Beishan said "everyone will protect you", a declaration that you are not alone.
This is a kind of trust!
To be honest, if the four clans were wiped out, wouldn't there really be a backlash from their domestic heritage? Impossible without it, but afterwards it can be so calm. If there is no mutual tolerance and dedication, it would be impossible. How many people need to make sacrifices in terms of interests?
For the first time, Xu Cheng felt that a country can give him enough trust!
Ye Xiu came over with the old Maotai treasured by his grandfather and handed it to him.
"Dad told you to drink less."
His grandfather glared at him: "Open it, don't think that I don't know that he misses my good wines, he can't go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and only plays politics, don't expect me to leave these good things for him, hum!"
Ye Xiu was speechless. No matter what his father said, his position was high and powerful, but in the eyes of his grandpa, a man who couldn't go to the battlefield was not a man. Grandpa was the commander of the older generation who survived killing enemies on the battlefield, so he was concerned that his family could not inherit his mantle. His dad didn't want to see him very much, but fortunately Ye Xiu was more to his liking, so his grandpa usually dotes on this precious grandson very much.
After Ye Xiu opened the Moutai, his grandfather said to him, "Give it to me."
Ye Xiu: "Grandpa, lie down, I'll just pour it for you."
After Mr. Ye snatched it over, he made a move. He poured wine for Xu Cheng himself, and Xu Cheng picked up the cup with some trepidation: "Grandpa Ye, I can do it myself."
His hand was held down by Ye Laozi, and after pouring the wine, he poured himself another glass of wine, then raised the glass to toast Xu Cheng: "This glass, I respect you."
"What are you going to do?" Xu Cheng was in a hurry. He respected the veterans in his heart. Without them, China would not be where it is today.
"Drink!" Old Master Ye glared at Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng smiled wryly, and drank the white wine in one gulp.
Very spicy, but very refreshing, warming my heart on such a cold day.
Mr. Ye poured him another cup, then poured a cup himself, and said, "This cup, we can't help ourselves!"
Xu Cheng smiled wryly: "Okay, I can't help myself!"
Ye Xiu watched the two of them drink one cup after another, and finally Xu Cheng was helped back to the room by Ye Xiu. When he came to the lobby, Old Man Ye was still not completely drunk. He said to Ye Xiu, "You are younger than Xiaocheng, so call him brother from now on."
Ye Xiu was surprised: "Aren't we relatives?"
"His mother's surname is Ye." The old man looked at Ye Xiu meaningfully and said, "The biggest one is Ye! In terms of status in the family, I'm afraid your father is not as good as his mother."
Ye Xiu was taken aback.
"I want you to respect him not because of his mother, but because of what Xu Cheng has done, which deserves your respect." After finishing speaking, Old Man Ye pushed his wheelchair back to his room.
