Yunnan Province was a revolutionary place. Martyrs Park was very magnificent. Those buried on the mountain were martyrs who sacrificed for the country in the past or recent years. Uncle Gen was buried in the newly developed land in the cemetery.
The monochrome photo of Old Uncle Gen wearing an old-fashioned military uniform, with a small smile on his face, stared in front firmly.
Ye Jian knelt down and looked at the photo of the benevolent Old uncle Gen. She bowed her head with strength, making knocking sounds that could be heard on the bluestone slab.
In this life, if it weren’t for his guidance to pull Ye Jian from the quagmire of revenge, she would certainly not be the successful Ye Jian like she was today.
Perhaps she would still be alive and live well, but she would just be a living shadow, living a gray life tormented by hatred.
It was precisely because of Old Uncle Gen that Ye Jian walked out of the dark revengeful road and became the Ye Jian today and finally led to the reunion of the father and daughter.
Ye Jian bowed her head three times to the old man who was sleeping eternally in another world, “Grandpa, I’ve come to see you, and so is my dad. Grandpa, I’ve found my dad. And I’ve come here with my dad to visit you.”
As soon as she spoke, her words were choked in her throat.
Father Fu knelt down at the same time and bowed to the old man who took care of his daughter in every possible way and protected his daughter as she grew up, “Uncle, I am Jian’er’s father and Hong Mei’s husband. Thank you for taking care of Jian’er and helping her to carve a successful road. Thank you so much.”
“You are the benefactor of our Fu Family. It is you who gave us hope. Without you, Jian’er wouldn’t be here today, and there would be no reunion in our family. Thank you so much.”
This was the first time Father Fu saw Old Uncle Gen. He was very polite, and he bowed his head every time he said a sentence.
The old man was no longer alive, so he couldn’t show his respect in any other way but bowing his head to express his deep gratitude.
The two father and daughter bowed their heads and then got up. They stood in front of Uncle Gen’s tomb and bowed deeply.
“Grandpa, my dad and I will be going to see my mom now. I will come to see you next time.” Ye Jian looked at the old man in the photo. The old man was looking back at her with a smile, just like every time she left the village, he would always straighten his back and watch her leave the village step by step with his eyes filled with kindness and encouragement.
“Goodbye, Uncle; I’ll bring my little girl to visit you again next time.”
The grateful Father Fu thanked Uncle Gen once again and then left with Ye Jian slowly.
After paying homage to Old Uncle Gen, both father and daughter felt a little heavy in their hearts. Ye Jian, who walked up the long stone ladder, talked about Uncle Gen’s deeds during his lifetime so that Father Fu could understand Uncle Gen more.
Father Fu listened, and then there was a faint question in his heart, so he asked, “You only stayed with Old Uncle Gen when you were in junior high school. Then what about before that? Who adopted you before you were fourteen? Now that I’ve returned to Yunnan Province, I have to thank the family who adopted you before after visiting Principal Chen.”
Ye Jian’s expression became a little stiff.
Oh, right.
She had been mentioning things in the army, such as Old Uncle Gen, President Chen, Regiment Commander Liu, Political Commissar Yan, and Major Xia. All of those events were when she was in junior high school. She didn’t mention anything that happened before she was fourteen.
She originally planned to tell her father more about her secrets after visiting their mother. Her father had been so distracted ever since meeting her, plus the sadness of his wife’s death, he also did not ask Ye Jian about her life before she was fourteen.
