After a long time, I heard Ye Jian's puzzled question and asked: "Why haven't there been correspondences in four years?"
"Because, back then, when my country researched missiles and satellites, it was conducted secretly on the basis of "zero foundation." For the sake of confidentiality, all scientists involved in the research were not allowed to leave the research base easily, let alone contact with their families at will, and live a life of isolation from the world. "Xia Jinyuan replied to Ye Jian with a solemn voice and full of respect, "The old gentleman has not had correspondence with his family for four years. It is normal."
Upon hearing this, Ye Jian stood in awe.
Li Jinnian knew that Xia Jinyuan was speaking for him, and he nodded slightly to express his gratitude. "My grandfather and grandmother are both engaged in research and development, and rarely go home. I can't always know what is going on with my mother and uncle. It’s normal to have no letters from children in the year."
"That's why my grandfather didn't know that his uncle had been in confinement for a year, let alone that his uncle was about to get married."
"After my uncle secretly reported the matter, the grandfather who came back immediately entrusted a friend to inquire about it, but found nothing. There was no female soldier named "Hongmei" in the army."
Ye Jian's fingers trembled. Didn't her mother...never tell others her real name? That's why I didn't find out her whereabouts
After a year, I went back to the army to look for my mother. At that time, my mother was not in the army at all, but went home to give birth to her!
That's why I didn't find out her whereabouts
Ye Jian, who had already been overwhelmed in his heart, was guessing at random, thinking about...
"One year ago, my uncle and my aunt were going to get married. One year later, my grandfather went to inquire, but there was no news. For a long time, my grandfather was still wondering if his uncle had been locked up for a year because of a mental disorder. Come out, a character that doesn't exist."
"If it weren't for this photo..." Li Jinnian took out the old photo again, staring down at the young men and women in the photo, and there was a slight ripple in his cold voice, "It is this photo that made my grandfather Confirm that uncle does have a fiancee who is ready to get a marriage certificate."
Passing the photo to Ye Jian again, Li Jinnian’s dualistic expression was cold, and there was a faint light in his invisible dark eyes. It was a light full of hope, "Ye Jian, I am willing to invite you No matter how good, look at this photo seriously, okay?"
There were so many heavy emotions in his eyes that made Ye Jian's heart heavy, and she didn't even have the courage to reach out.
What if... you really confessed the wrong person
She didn't reach out for a long time, Li Jinnian kept handing it over, waiting patiently for her to reach out.
"Take it, take a good look." Xia Jinyuan tightened the hand she was holding in her own hand, approached her, and said softly and calmly: "For yourself and for the old man, you should take it and take a good look. "
The familiar breath that made her feel calm and entwined gave her the courage to stretch out her hand.
At the moment when he took the photo, Ye Jian saw that Li Jinnian's straight shoulders were obviously slack,... he was actually afraid... he was afraid that he would refuse again.
Ye Jian, who took a deep breath, looked down. She was right. The young woman in the photo was indeed her mother.
In the diary, there is a picture of a mother wearing a military uniform with the same smile, even the same size. The only difference is that it is a single picture of her mother.
