Chapter 119: The Grievances of the Previous Generation
On New Year's Day in 1996, the heavy snowfall that had just stopped for a few days began to fall one after another, putting on a layer of silver makeup for the ancient city of Beijing.
However, no matter how cold the weather is, it can't stop people from traveling, and at the entrance of the shopping mall or park where the words "Welcome New Year's Day" are hung up, and the atmosphere is full of laughter and festive atmosphere.
"Brother, brother, I can't hang up, you come to help......",
In a courtyard courtyard in Jingshan Park, it was also full of festive atmosphere, Liu Lanlan held a few red lanterns, ready to hang them in front of the door, but she was too short to reach them.
Most of Liu Lanlan's generation are only children, the children of the uncle and aunt's family are more than ten years older than her, and they usually don't have any relatives of the same age to play with.
"Lanlan, I'll come, don't fall......"
After Ye Tian heard Lan Lan's shout, he lifted the curtain and walked out of the house, and saw that Liu Lanlan was moving a bench and preparing to step on it, so he hurriedly hugged her down and hung the lantern himself.
Since the last time he returned to this courtyard with Liu Wei'an, Ye Tian's identity has also been clarified, which is different from what obstacles he imagined, including the second aunt who rushed from Dongcheng to Ye Dongmei's house overnight after hearing the news, and they all love him.
You must know that the old Ye family has always been not vigorous men, and when it comes to Ye Dongping's generation, it is the only seedling, if it weren't for the eldest sister Ye Donglan's grudges, the two aunts would have found this younger brother back a long time ago.
Now that there is a nephew, these women are all smiling in their hearts, even the old lady who still has some complaints about Ye Tian's father, how do they see how this nephew is pleasing to the eye.
As for the money, Ye Tian pushed it all on Yu Qingya, saying that it was lent to him by Yu Qingya's father's friend, Ye Dongping didn't know about his sister-in-law's illness, Ye Tian wanted to wait for the winter vacation to go home, and then talk to his father about it, and let him go back to Beijing to apologize to his aunt.
This truth is defensible, especially when the old lady is given a step, which makes her very satisfied, and as a result, several elders like Yu Qingya more and more.
Ye Tian's aunt Ye Donglan even took a pair of gold earrings, saying that they were inherited from the old Ye family, and they had to be given to Yu Qingya, which made the girl blush all the time.
"Lanlan, let your brother rest, don't keep pestering him,
Ye Dongmei's voice came from the house, but although she was reprimanding her daughter, her voice was full of joy, and their family ...... It's been a long time since it's been so lively and happy.
Early this morning, the eldest sister and the second sister and the two families came to Ye Dongmei's house, plus Ye Tian and Yu Qingya, the entire inner and outer houses were crowded with people, except for Ye Dongping's absence, the people of the old Ye family were all together.
Ye Donglan's wife died five years ago, and one of her daughters married to Jinan, which is considered to be alone in Beijing, but she often volunteers to help in the street office, but she lives a very fulfilling life.
Ye Tian's second aunt is called Ye Dongzhu, both husband and wife are teachers in Xicheng Middle School, and they have not retired yet, and one son is married, and he has just been able to run after giving birth to a boy, and the family is here.
To be honest, although this kind of occasion made Ye Tian feel very warm, he was also a little unaccustomed, he was used to staying alone since he was a child, and now a room full of people surrounded him to ask questions, and the idea of running away was about to be born. "Ye Tian, don't be busy, come in and eat......"
The curtain was lifted, and a middle-aged man in his early thirties greeted Ye Tian, his name is Lu Chen, Ye Tian's eldest cousin, graduated from forensic medicine, and now works in the relevant departments of the Municipal ** Bureau, which is a very decent job.
"Cousin, here, Lanlan, let's eat"......
Ye Tian nodded, and took Lan Lan into the house, where the dishes were already set on the table, four cold dishes, two meat and two vegetarian dishes, and eight hot dishes, and a table full of them.
Lu Shen took a bottle of liquor, poured it for his father and Liu Wei'an one by one, looked at Ye Tian and asked, "Xiaotian, drink some wine?" ”
"Drink some ......"
Ye Tian nodded, he has been drinking with his father since he was a child, and the taste of the second pot has long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and one or two catties are not a problem at all.
After drinking, the atmosphere on the table naturally became lively, don't look at Liu Wei'an's honesty, the amount of wine is really good, and in the end, Lu Tanye couldn't bear it, and it was still Ye Tian's round.
After eating, what shocked Ye Tian was that Lu Chen and Liu Wei'an actually cleaned up the table honestly, which is not common in ordinary families in Beijing.
Looking back at the three aunts, but they all looked like they were taken for granted, Ye Tian couldn't help but smile bitterly, no wonder his father was so neat in housework? Dare to have such a few sisters, if you don't want to be diligent, you can't do it.
"Ye Tian, come, aunt and talk to you......"
The men went to clean up the housework, Ye Tian's second aunt asked Lu Chen's wife Yun Xi to take the children and Lan Lan to play outside, Yu Qingya saw this posture and also went out.
"Auntie, what's the matter?"
Ye Tian followed to the inner room and saw the eldest aunt and sister-in-law
They all sat on the bed, quickly moved a chair and sat down on the edge of the bed, and said, "Sister-in-law, you won't talk about money again, I said it, you don't have to worry about the money......
After learning that Ye Tian's money was borrowed from Yu Qingya, his aunts added their minds, except that Ye Dongmei really had no choice, the eldest sister and the second sister were trying to find a way to make money during this time.
After hearing Ye Tian's words, Ye Donglan shook her head and said, "Xiaotian, this is not good, you will be able to make up almost 200,000 yuan before the year, and when the time comes, you will return it to others, our old Ye family can't get this cheap ......"
"What's cheap? Auntie, the bracelet is still wearing on her bracelet, besides, I gave it to you, don't worry about it, let's think about my sister-in-law's surgery after the New Year......" Ye Tian shook his head, and diverted the topic in three or two sentences.
After Ye Dongmei got the 200,000 yuan, Liu Wei'an contacted the hospital the next day, and after some negotiation and communication, the person who matched Ye Dongmei's kidney source agreed to have a kidney transplant after the Spring Festival.
During this time, all Ye Dongmei has to do is to restore her body to the best condition, and strive to reduce rejection after the transplant is completed, and smoothly integrate with it.
Seeing Ye Tian's appearance of an adult's kiss, Ye Dongmei and the others laughed, and Ye Donglan said: "Xiaotian, this matter is not something you should worry about, there is no need to talk about money, Tiangu will tell you something else."
"Something else? Auntie, you said...... "Ye Tian sat up straight."
"Xiaotian, I don't know if Dongping has ever told you about your mother?"
When it came to her younger brother this time, Ye Donglan rarely got angry, she already knew from Ye Tian that Ye Dongping had come alone all these years, and her resentment towards her younger brother had basically disappeared.
"My mother's business? Dad never mentioned it, auntie, do you know something? Although Ye Tian's tone was very steady, there was a hint of longing in his eyes.
After hearing Ye Tian's words, the three sisters glanced at each other, and Ye Tian's aunt said: "Xiaotian, you are not young anymore, this matter should not be talked about and hidden from you, Dongping will not say it, my aunt will tell you......
Your grandfather used to be a high-ranking official of the Beiyang government, and later after the establishment of the Republic of China, he also held public office in Beijing, and the Ye family was in a prosperous situation at that time......"
Ye Donglan's words were spoken for more than half an hour, and the things she talked about were quite tortuous and bizarre, until the old lady finished speaking, Ye Tian did not come back to his senses. It turns out that the old Ye family in the mouths of the three sisters is not an unknown generation, and in the modern history of the China Creceous Kingdom, it has also left indelible traces, especially Ye Tian's great-grandfather, who was also the number one person under President Yuan Da back then.
And Ye Tian's mother has an uncle, that is, Song Haotian's own uncle, who followed Mr. Sun before the Republic of China, and was arrested by Beiyang when President Yuan was proclaimed emperor.
The Song family was also a deep-rooted big family in the capital at that time, and their descendants were arrested, and they immediately asked someone to spend money to find a relationship, and this search found Ye Tianzeng's grandfather's head and sent a large number of property.
At that time, Ye Tian's great-grandfather agreed and was ready to mediate this matter, who knew that the president at that time had an urgent order to transfer him to Henan, and when he returned to Sijiu City, Song Haotian's uncle was already on the ground.
Collecting money and not doing things, this is a common thing in that chaotic era, and the old man of the Ye family didn't pay attention to it at the time, but the Song family is not a small family, although he didn't immediately go to the Ye family to reason, but this feud ...... is settled.
As the saying goes, feng shui turns in turns, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China and liberation, the Song family escaped several movements in the early fifties because they had helped the ruling party during the war.
But the Ye family is not so lucky, the old man's experience in the Beiyang government and the Republic of China government has become a big stain on the Ye family, coupled with the Song family's encouragement, the old man was imprisoned when he was seventy or eighty years old, and before the final result came out, he died of depression a few months later.
In this way, the Song and Ye families can be regarded as having a deep hatred, but the Song family was engaged in industry back then, and even in that difficult period, it could still develop and grow.
The Ye family, on the other hand, has relied on the old man for decades, and as soon as the old man left, the whole family fell apart, and Ye Tian's grandfather could only enter the factory as a worker in the end, and the family that was prominent back then was completely defeated.
However, although the Ye family is dilapidated, no one has forgotten the grievances of the two families, which is also the main reason why Ye Dongping and Ye Tian's mother were criticized by the two families at the same time after they were united.
