This time, Ye Ying was imprisoned for his mentor and friend Gu Xiangying. In June 1962, a well-known generalissimo was censored by the central government, and Gu Xiangying, as the generalissimo's descendant, was also investigated. Ye Ying then stood up and fought the grievances, the specific details were useless, in short, this master who dared to fire a cannon was once again defeated for the sake of his old friend, and the crime was that his position was not firm, and the poisonous roots of petty-bourgeois liberal thought were not removed. It needs to be forged again in the melting pot of the dictatorship of the proletariat.

Five years later, still under the mediation of the old superior, Ye Ying was released from prison and served as the director of the Gangcheng Revolutionary Committee of Liao Province.

In 1971, his fate changed again, and his old superior became the leader of the anti-party who conspired to rebel against the leader, and he was immediately imprisoned again, and this time after being imprisoned, he never left prison for the rest of his life, deprived of political rights for life, and was not even allowed to visit his relatives. In 1983, with the help of his old friend who served as the chairman of the Xijiang Autonomous Region, he was transferred to this place and imprisoned, and the old Mr. Gu was originally going to rehabilitate him in a few years, but he didn't think that in September 1983, Gu Xiangying himself was one step ahead of him because of lung cancer to see Marxist-Leninist-Mao. So the old gentleman became a loner who was never cared for.

During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea in 1951, Ye Ying, as the commander of the First Army, also led his troops to participate in that tragic war. Sixteen-year-old Gao Ping was his correspondent at the time. Gao Ping has always been sympathetic and regretful about Ye Ying's affairs, and Gao Ping has always had reverence for Ye Ying himself, so Ye Ying lives here like living in a dry rest house, Gao Ping even assigned two civil servants to the old man's family to take care of the old man's body and life.

There is no coincidence in the world, and Ye Haodong and Ye Ying would never have imagined that the first meeting between their grandfather and grandson would be in such a place. Ye Haodong and Ye Ying recognized each other, but it originated from a game of chess.

Ye Haodong was really bored that afternoon, so he set up an endgame in the yard, played chess with himself, and when he was feeling bored, an old man came and had to play a few games with him. Ye Haodong was worried that he had no opponent, so he readily agreed, but as a result, this old man was far from being Ye Haodong's opponent, and he was killed by Ye Haodong four times in a row. The old man was annoyed and angry, so he ran back to move reinforcements, and then the old men in the courtyard, the old men were alarmed by the old guys, and Ye Haodong was not afraid to kill the Quartet. In the end, all the old men unanimously agreed that this son had superb chess skills, and he could not be defeated by the old Yetou. So he introduced Ye Haodong into the small building at the back of the compound, which he had never been to for so long.

Ye Ying is the old Ye head in the mouth of this group of old people who have been locked up for decades. As soon as Ye Haodong appeared in front of him, he was taken aback, it was really because the little cub with the same surname as himself in front of him looked too similar to his youth, and Ye Haodong's messy steel city accent made the old gentleman's speculation even heavier.

However, this master, like the young master opposite, is a proud and strong character, and the old general did not rush to interrogate Ye Haodong's life experience, but first played with Ye Haodong with great interest. This game of chess finally became an unfinished game of chess, the reason was that Ye Haodong thought that he could win, but the old general thought it was a draw, and the two argued for a long time and no one gave in, and the old general's temper came up, and he glared and pouted the table. Ye Haodong's eyes were no smaller than the old general, and it was useless for you to lift the table, that game of chess was in my head, and it could be reviewed at any time, and the grandfather and grandson had a little more than half of the cow, and finally looked at each other and laughed. These two men are temperaments that come and go quickly, and they have a bold temperament without taboos.

Ye Ying's words were not shocking, and he came up and asked directly: "Is the little rabbit cub Ye Wenchang's species?" ”

Ye Haodong felt strange at first, but after thinking about it for a while, he remembered the legend of his disobedient son who often heard his grandfather curse countless times when he was a child, and that father always sighed first, and then talked about the grandfather who affected the fate of his father's life. If Grandpa Ye Ying is still alive, shouldn't he still be serving his sentence, since he was mysteriously transferred out of the Northern Political Prisoner Management Center in 83, the Ye family has never heard of his old man's home, and rumors say that the old man has been persecuted to death.

Grandpa spoke violently, and his grandson was not ambiguous: "Is Ye Wenchang your species?" ”

Ye Ying laughed: "Little rabbit, you dare to talk to me like this? ”

Ye Haodong was not to be outdone: "Could it be that I am now hugging your thighs and crying bitterly and shouting grandpa, you are proud and happy?" ”

Ye Ying stared at Ye Haodong, but this time he was looking inside rather than outside when they first met. After a long time, he finally walked over and slapped Ye Haodong on the shoulder, "Little rabbit cub, the body board is hard enough, it was your grandfather who played Xiaolian." ”

Ye Haodong nodded: "It's okay, master...... Grandpa, hey, it's really not customary to call this title coldly, or call you old man, the real respect lies in the heart and not in the mouth. ”

Ye Ying asked, "...... your grandfather?" ”

Ye Haodong replied: "* It's not a year, there was no illness or disaster before leaving, it's just that after a big night's sleep, I didn't come back, and there is no one you can't think of, that is, my father Ye Wenchang, liver cancer, died in ninety-three years, and our grandparents and grandchildren are children without father's pain." ”

Ye Ying's expression was low for a long time. After all, he has experienced too many life and death separations, and he has died two wives and two children during the war years. In the 60 years after liberation, he experienced the blow of his third wife and two younger sons who left due to hunger, and only one of the three sons, Ye Wenchang, was the eldest son who was ten years old at the time. Ruthless may not be a true hero, how can a poor son not be a husband, Ye Ying's pain has always been there, but he, like Ye Haodong, is good at burying the pain in his heart.

Ye Ying was silent for a long time, suddenly raised his head, there were faint tears in his eyes, but he gave him a fierce glare back, gritted his teeth, he tried to keep his voice as steady as possible, and asked, "How many sons did Ye Wenchang have?" How old are you? ”

Ye Haodong: "Three, I am the youngest." ”

Ye Ying thought about it, nodded, and scolded a little dissatisfied: "The finished goods, well, barely he passed." and to Ye Haodong: You kid is not bad, but your chess style is not good. ”

Ye Haodong didn't argue with him this time, he didn't say anything, and the grandparents stayed together in silence.

Ye Ying's voice sounded, a little hoarse: "Little thing, do you say grandpa, am I born hard?" Why do I have to experience so many people around me in my life? ”

Ye Haodong didn't speak, he himself continued to say to himself: "Those old things who saw Marxism-Leninism and Mao one step before Lao Tzu don't count, just say that our family, first your grandmother Fengqin and your two uncles were killed by the little devil early, then Gu Jinghui, and then killed by the Kuomintang, then your grandmother and your two uncles, then your grandfather Gu, then the old man, and now your father, little thing, tell me, should I die here alone, is it not that anyone who touches me will not be far from death?" ”

Ye Haodong laughed heartlessly: "I won't tell you, what you said really means something, didn't I come to Xijiang, I was almost escorted to the execution ground to shoot a target a few days ago, but it seems that my life is harder than yours, I didn't let you die, I came back to life again." ”

Ye Ying then remembered that he hadn't asked his grandson how he came here, so the grandfather and grandson sat down, Ye Ying asked the civil servants to prepare a table of meals, and the grandfather and grandson drank the state-supplied Moutai, chatting while eating, Ye Haodong told his experience since his father's death.

Ye Ying, this old man, is really extraordinary. During the whole narration process, he interrupted Ye Haodong's speech three times, all about the relationship between the three girls and Ye Haodong, and the old man's words were even more suspicious: "Did you kid leave the seeds?" Ye Haodong couldn't cry or laugh, but the old man shook his head suddenly, "Hey~ I guess it's enough to choke, now this young man is particular about not having children or having children late, in fact, it's all fucking bullshit." ”

Ye Haodong finally talked about the reason why he came here, and the old gentleman made a concluding speech: "Well done, boy, you should do this, man, you will not be humiliated by death, that prison guard called boxwood is purely looking for death, you should just kill him." ”

From that day on, Ye Haodong officially moved into this small courtyard specially arranged by Gaoping for Ye Ying to live alone. Only then did Ye Haodong figure out why Ye Ying could enjoy such a high-standard treatment here. The commander and political commissar of the Southern Xinjiang Military Region are all soldiers led by the old man when he was the commander.

Sixty-four-year-old Gao Ping was his correspondent during the war, when he was still a soldier, Ye Ying later played a key role in his promotion, examination, and subsequent step-by-step promotion, when Gu Xiangying was helped up again, it was Ye Ying who recommended Gao Ping to his old comrades-in-arms, and came to Western Xinjiang with Gu Xiangying.

Fifty-five-year-old political commissar Sun Guangming is Gu Xiangying's son-in-law, this political commissar Sun who is a little afraid of his wife is actually not a soft rice to climb to today's position, his marriage is the result of free love, if you talk about background, this person's background is even better than his wife who has a father who is a former state councilor, his father used to be the republic*, chief of the general staff.

These two chief officials are Ye Ying's juniors, so the old gentleman is here to live as an old warlord and earth emperor, no one can say it, no one can take care of it. The degree of freedom is extremely high. As long as the old man wants to, it is no problem to even let him go out to travel around the country. His case has long been decided, but now the leaders of the central government will care about this old man who has been away from the core of power for many years and has long been in his last years.

The news of Ye Haodong and Ye Ying's confession soon reached the ears of the two bigwigs in the military region. The two came together the next day to congratulate and hold a sumptuous lunch. Four people, three veterans, and a little old criminal, killed three bottles of Moutai.
