Chapter 3: 66 Years Later

Ye Rong is a little confused, this year is 2015?

It was ...... from 1949 66 years later? 66 years have passed!

Astound!

But it makes sense......

Otherwise, why did the eldest nephew Ye Yanwu, who was only 3 years old yesterday, become an old man around 70 years old today?

Otherwise, why did the old cave of the Ye family, which was cleaned up and tidy and full of popularity yesterday, collapse and abandon it today?

Otherwise, the pepper tree in front of you, as well as the small mulberry tree at the door of your house, have grown into towering trees? Four large fish ponds were also built next to the stream at the bottom of the ditch......

This world, spanning 66 years, has changed so much!

Fellow relatives, the same has changed a lot!

Ye Rong suddenly wanted to know the changes in this world, the slogan of socialism at that time, "Electric light and telephone, upstairs and downstairs; Do you not need oil to light the lamp, and you don't need oxen to plow the land...... have all been realized? Is New China Still Behind? Have the people been lifted out of poverty and become rich? What has happened all these years? Is Lao Mei still so arrogant? What about the little devils?

I also urgently want to know how my relatives and descendants are living now?

Former friends, comrades-in-arms, former villagers, and even former enemies, 66 years old, at least 90 or 100 years old, are they still alive? I guess they're almost all dead......

The younger brother Yema died during the buzzing period, but what about the younger siblings?

……

Ye Ma has too many problems and is entangled in his heart, so he picks up the scissors discarded by the injured girl on the ground, stands next to the pepper tree, and helps them cut the peppercorns.

At the same time, think about ways and means to ask questions and answer questions.

Directly said that I am your grandfather, and I disappeared that year because I traveled through time and space, and came to 2015, standing in front of you. Well, I'm not sure what happened in 66 years, so please tell me everything!

That's not going to work...... Ye Rong will definitely be regarded as a neurotic!

You can only knock on the side and ask indirectly......

When Ye Rong was still thinking, his eldest nephew Ye Yanwu saw this stranger helping to cut peppercorns, and hurriedly greeted enthusiastically: "Young man, you don't need to help, it's embarrassing." ”

"It's okay."

Ye Rong kept cutting scissors, had a plan, and continued: "I didn't help in vain, I have some doubts, and I hope you can answer them." ”

"What is not answered, we rural people are hospitable, you have questions, you know, everything you say, everything you say."

"That's good!"

Ye Rong asked: "I heard you just now, your ancestors are still heroes of the Anti-Japanese War, I am very interested in this aspect, tell me everything you know, okay?" ”

"Yes!" When it comes to this aspect, Ye Yanwu's ravine-strewn old face is radiant, which seems to be a supreme honor for the family.

However, the granddaughter was full of vigilance against Ye Rong, the eldest grandfather, and asked, "Who are you?" What is this for? ”

"Uh......" Ye Rong had already calculated, explaining: "I'm a reporter...... Writer...... What kind of profession specializes in collecting anti-Japanese war veterans...... The story? That's why I'm here......"

"Great writer! A ragged colt may make a good horse! Ye Yanwu praised, "If you can write the story of my father's Anti-Japanese War into a novel, or make it into a TV series, then my Ye family will thank you!" Come on, come on, I'll tell you more about ......"

The granddaughter was still skeptical, but didn't say anything more.

Ye Yanwu talked endlessly and energetically......

"If you want to talk about our Ye family, it is a good contribution to the country! Let's just say that my father Ye Rong and my father Ye Ma have been Rong Ma all their lives, and they have participated in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and fought devils...... Big Daddy Ye Rong also participated in the Liberation War ......"

"Besides, my sons Ye Guang and Ye Fu are taken from the meaning of recovering China. The eldest son, Ye Guang, is also the father of my youngest granddaughter......"

Ye Yanwu pointed to the girl and introduced: "Her name is Ye Yu, his father Ye Guang went to be a soldier in 1978, just in time for the 1979 Vietnamese self-defense counterattack, and he went to the front line as a recruit for a year......

"Besides, my second son, Ye Fu, was also a soldier, and he had already stayed in the army and could be a soldier for a lifetime, but unfortunately in 1985, when the eighth major disarmament was streamlined and reorganized, he was gloriously restored to ......."

“……”

Ye Rong had a general understanding of the three generations of the Ye family today.

Ye Yanwu is his grandfather, this is Ye Rong's nephew.

Ye Guang and Ye Fu, sons, are Ye Rong's grandchildren.

Ye Yu, grandchildren, this is Ye Rong's great-grandchildren......

Of course, there are other people in the family, Ye Yanwu did not tell them one by one, and the focus of Ye Rong's listening finally fell on the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam in 1979, and the eighth major disarmament in 1985, which was the eighth major disarmament......

In the past 66 years, a lot has really happened in New China!

In the later chats, Ye Yu, a weak girl, seemed to know more than her grandfather, was very knowledgeable, and was an intellectual.

The Ye family also has college students!

Ye Rong was overjoyed, he was particularly disdainful of this greenhouse flower before, but now he admires and is proud!

For example, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea in 1950 extinguished the arrogance of US imperialism, shattered the myth of the invincibility of the United States, and greatly inspired the courage and confidence of the people of the world to oppose aggression and defend peace! It was a strategic war to be proud of!

The atomic bomb was successfully exploded in 1964, the first explosion in 1967, and the successful launch of China's first artificial satellite in 1970......

In 1976, a sad year, the first generation of important national leaders of New China passed away one after another, and the Tangshan disaster: the earthquake!

In 1979, it was a spring, an old man drew a circle in one place, and China began to reform and open up.

In 1984, Xu Haifeng shot down the first gold medal in the history of the Chinese Olympic Games, achieving a breakthrough of 0 Olympic gold medals.

In 1997, Hong Kong returned to China.

In 1999, Macao returned to the motherland.

In 2003, ** broke out. In the same year, the Shenzhou-5 manned spacecraft was successfully launched, sending China's first astronaut into space.

In 2008, a complicated year, there was sadness, most of southern China suffered a once-in-a-century ice and snow disaster, the Wenchuan earthquake; There was also celebration, Beijing successfully hosted the 29th Olympic Games, and China won the best result in history with 51 gold medals.

……

Ye Rong seems to be wandering in the picture scroll of time, the rapid development of New China is exciting and encouraging, and the natural disasters and disasters are also embarrassing, and even the chairman has passed away.

Unknowingly......

Ye Yu took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, and said, "Grandpa, it's more than 10 o'clock in the morning, let's go home for dinner!" ”

"Okay." Ye Yanwu agreed, and immediately began to pack his things.

And at this moment, Ye Rong stared at the glowing big screen in Ye Yu's hand in amazement, I don't know what this is?

Wristwatch? So can you see the time?

Ay......

Society has progressed, and watches have become so big, it's really bullish!

No, this shouldn't be called a watch, it's called a watch when it's worn on the wrist, and it's called a pocket watch when it's in your arms, and this thing of Ye Yu is in your pocket, it should be called a pocket watch!

"It's called a cell phone! Smartphones! ”

Ye Yu found that this strange uncle who didn't know his name and had many strange questions, kept staring at the smartphone in his hand, and explained loudly, "Uncle, just now you don't know anything about the contemporary history of New China, I need to doubt your identity as a writer!" I suspect you won't recognize that this is a mobile phone, right? Or are you trying to steal my phone? Just staring at my phone with such bright eyes? ”

"Mobile phone, ahahaha......"

As an elder, Ye Rong has the pride that an elder should have, how can he be despised by a junior? So he sneered: "How can I not know a mobile phone, but I haven't seen this style, well, what is this style of mobile phone for?" ”

"Make phone calls, surf the Internet."

"Oh!"

Ye Rong said that he understood, "I know when I call, there is a telephone in the 'electric light telephone, upstairs and downstairs', which should be similar to high-tech communication means such as telegraph and radio!" ”

New China has really developed rapidly, and a little girl has a mobile phone......

"Hmm, what does the second function mean?" Ye Rong is sensitive and studious, and he is not ashamed to ask.

"Oh my God, Uncle Weird, you can't run out of the primeval forest, do you? Or did you travel back in time from ancient times? Ye Yu stared at Ye Rong, as if he was staring at an ape who had not yet opened his mind!

"What's so strange about that! It's normal! Ye Yanwu interjected at this time, pointing to Ye Yu's mobile phone, "I don't understand this thing, I'm also from the primeval forest?" ”

"Uncle is so young......"

Ye Yu pointed at Ye Rong and retorted, "Grandpa is old, and he is not a person of the same era. It's understandable that grandpa doesn't understand, but he looks like he's in his 20s, at most in the late 80s and early 90s, it's too unbelievable that he doesn't understand mobile phones! And what he said, 'Electric light and telephone, upstairs and downstairs', these are the slogans of the fifties of the last century! It makes sense for grandpa to say it, but blame uncle, you say it...... In short, you are weird! He must not be a writer, not a journalist, so concealing his identity, if he is ill-intentioned, he is even a big liar......"

"You kid, no big or small, how can you talk......"

Ye Yanwu criticized.

Ye Rong waved his hand to show that he didn't take it to heart, he was an ancestor-level elder, and he wouldn't be as knowledgeable as the little children of his great-grandchildren!

Ye Yanwu invited: "Young man, you also helped my family cut peppercorns all morning, so that even if you are a part-time worker, I should take care of your meal!" Let's go, go to my house for dinner! ”

"Okay."

Ye Rong will not be polite, eating the meals of the juniors, even if they are poor, it is their due filial piety to the elders.

"What's your name, young man?" Ye Yanwu asked.

"Ye Rong ......" Ye Rong did not hide it and reported his name directly.

Ye Yanwu and Ye Yu's grandson were surprised at the same time, this is the name of the eldest grandfather! However, in this era, there are many people with the same name and surname, and then Ye Yanwu no longer doubted it.

But the little granddaughter Ye Yu has been staring at Ye Rong, deeply suspicious and full of vigilance! This strange uncle is definitely not normal! Maybe concealing his identity, falsely reporting his career, and having sinister intentions, grandpa brought him home to lure the wolf into the house! But she couldn't oppose her grandfather's decision, so she could only act in person and monitor all Ye Rong's actions!

"Your surname is Ye, too? Maybe 500 years ago, we were still a family! Ye Yanwu continued to chat.

"Uh-huh."

And Ye Rong had no time to chat, because he walked out of the overgrown wheat field and came to a wide cement avenue.

What was once a barren place is now lined with brand-new brick houses on both sides of the avenue.

Among them, there are many small second-floor houses, which are really the era of the country's great development, upstairs and downstairs! The deserted villages in the deep mountains that were once almost isolated from the world now have the charm of a new socialist modern countryside!

What is that? Armored vehicles?

In front of the armored car, there is also a large drum with a hollow barbed metal frame, which feels so fierce!

Ye Rong stared at a large harvester and expressed his surprise.
