Chapter 2216 Distinguished Family

Ye Jian’s reaction gave Li Jinnian a heavy blow, making him wake up from his excitement in an instant and immediately stopped pursuing the topic.

   

He was too anxious just now. He was so anxious that he didn’t get any evidence to prove that Ye Jian was his uncle’s daughter, but he didn’t regret it.

    

His grandfather’s time was running out.

 

“The light of mulberry and elm, there is no reason to shine; I hope that the sunshine of the sun will shine with the time.”

That was the helplessness of the old man, and it was a knot he could not let go in his whole life. The old man often said that Fu family had enjoyed too much blessing, and he also enjoyed all the blessings of his descendants and children, that was why he and his grandmother had four sons and two daughters but had only one son and one daughter that grew up well.

The son was his uncle, and he returned to his grandfather when he was ten years old.

  

The daughter was his mother. She had been married to the Li Family for less than ten years when she was frailty and sickly. She passed away in her illness, leaving only the eight-year-old him. Fortunately, she left after his grandmother, so the elder who had been troubled throughout her life had someone to rely on before death.

  

Thinking of his elderly grandfather, thinking of the cousin he had already found, Li Jinnian, who walked out of the hospital, drove directly to his grandfather’s house.

  

Li Jinnian’s grandfather was a leader in the space satellite industry. He laid the cornerstone for their country’s “strategic missile” establishment and put their country’s national defense technology industry on the right track. He was now respected as “Sir Fu.”

  

There was a sentence in the book “Mencius – Gao Zi Xia,” “the older bachelor was called Sir.”. After thousands of years, the meaning of the word “Sir” remained unchanged. It represented the strength of character, spirit, inheritance, and thought.

    

Sir Fu’s spirit was not as good as before. He suffered too much when he was young. Later, he worked hard for the country’s aerospace, satellite, and missile research and had gray hair before he was 50 years old.

Although he had retired now, he still had many guests coming and going at home, all of whom were scientists engaged in the country’s aerospace, satellites, and missiles.

Li Jinnian drove over. The housekeeper who was in charge of taking care of Sir Fu’s daily life whispered, “There are two guests from the Aerospace Academy discussing issues with the Sir in the study; I’m afraid you need to wait a while.”

  

“Okay, don’t disturb him.” Li Jinnian closed the door and changed his shoes into the house.

The state had taken care of the retired old scientists very meticulously. The food, clothing, housing and transportation given were all top-notch. Sir Fu liked ancient architecture. Therefore, he lived in a place surrounded by mountains and rivers. The homes and floors were all solid wood, and the interior was well-decorated in Chinese style. Walking in the house was like traveling to another time and space. One could even hear the sound of the wind blowing and falling leaves, sitting by the window.

Li Jinnian, who entered the house, pushed open the wooden sliding door and found a few old photo albums from a row of bookshelves. He sat cross-legged on the thin floor, holding a photo album and slowly flipping through it.

The album recorded Sir Fu and Mrs. Fu’s lives, as well as the changes in the prosperity and wealth of the Fu Family.

  

Sir Fu and Mrs. Fu were born in wealthy family. Both were agile and studious. They graduated from MIT and became lovers. Before the age of twenty-eight, the two elders lived prosperously, and they were very tough boned at the age of twenty-eight to thirty-five. No matter how tough life was, Mrs. Fu insisted on taking a group photo of the whole family every year.

The family portrait started with one child and slowly added to two children, and then three and four… Li Jinnian’s thin lips gradually tightened because he knew that when he turned to the next page, the four children would reduce one by one until…there was only his grandfather and his grandmother who was pregnant with a big belly.

Three uncles and an aunt who had no chance of seeing each other died of serious illnesses, and they had no money to treat them because of the ups and downs of their lives.

- my thoughts:
We've mistakenly translated 傅家祖 directly as 'Fu Jiazu' and a reader had kindly pointed it out. We've changed it to Fu family, however, if you do see any more of Fu jiazu, do let us know and we'll make the necessary change. Thank you
