On New Year's Day in 1996, the heavy snow that had just stopped for a few days fell one after another, putting a layer of silver makeup on the ancient city of BJ.
However, no matter how cold the weather is, it can't stop people from traveling, and shopping malls or parks with "Welcome to New Year's Day" hanging are full of laughter and a festive atmosphere.
"Brother, brother, I can't hang up, come to help......"
Liu Lanlan held a few red lanterns and was about to hang them in front of the door, but he was too short to reach them.
Most of Liu Lanlan's generation is an only child, the children of her uncle and aunt are more than ten years older than her, and they usually don't have any relatives of the same age to play with.
"Lan Lan, I'm coming, don't fall......"
After Ye Tian heard Lanlan's shout, he lifted the curtain and walked out of the house, seeing Liu Lanlan moving a bench to step on it, he quickly picked her up and hung the lantern himself.
Since the last time he returned to this courtyard house with Liu Wei'an, Ye Tian's identity has also been revealed, which is different from what obstacles he imagined he might encounter, including the second aunt who rushed from Dongcheng to Ye Dongmei's house overnight after hearing the news, and they all loved him very much.
If it weren't for the eldest sister Ye Donglan's grievances, the two aunts would have found this younger brother back long ago.
At the moment, there is an extra nephew in Pingbai, and these women are all smiling in their hearts, even the old lady who still complains a little about Ye Tian's father, how to see how pleasing this nephew is.
As for the money, Ye Tian pushed it all on Yu Qingya, saying that it was lent to him by a friend of Yu Qingya's father, Ye Dongping still didn't know about his sister-in-law's illness, Ye Tian wanted to wait until he came home during the winter vacation, and then talk to his father about it, and asked him to go back to Beijing to apologize to his aunt.
This principle is tenable, especially when it gives the old lady a step down, 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 passed down from the old Ye family, and they had to give them to Yu Qingya, which made the girl blush.
"Lan Lan, let your brother take a break, don't pester him all the time......"
Ye Dongmei's voice came from the room, but although she was reprimanding her daughter, her voice was full of joy, and their family ...... It's been a long time since I've 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 rooms were crowded with people.
Ye Donglan's wife passed away five years ago, and one of her daughters married into Jinan, which is considered a BJ alone, but she often volunteers to go to the street office to help, but she lives a very fulfilling life.
Ye Tian's second aunt is called Ye Dongzhu, the husband and wife are both teachers at Xicheng Middle School, and they have not retired yet.
To be honest, although this kind of occasion made Ye Tian feel very warm, he was also a little unaccustomed to it, he was used to being alone since he was a child, and now a room of people was around him asking questions, and the idea of escaping was almost 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 was Lu Chen, he was Ye Tian's eldest cousin, graduated from forensic medicine, and now he works in the relevant departments of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, which is a very decent job.
"Cousin, here, Lan Lan, go ...... dinner"
Ye Tian nodded and took Lan Lan into the room, where there were already dishes on the table, four cold dishes, two meat dishes and two vegetarian dishes, and eight hot dishes, filling the table.
Lu Chen took a bottle of liquor, poured it for his father and Liu Wei'an one by one, looked at Ye Tian and asked, "Xiaotian, have some wine?"
"Drink some ......"
Ye Tian nodded, he had been drinking with his father since he was a child, and the taste of Erguotou had long been deeply rooted in his bone marrow, and one or two pounds was not a problem at all.
Don't look at Liu Wei'an is honest, the amount of alcohol is really good, in the end Lu Chen and Ye Ye can't bear it, it's still Ye Tian who made the 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 BJ ordinary families.
Looking back at the three aunts, they all looked like they were taken for granted, Ye Tian couldn't help but smile bitterly, no wonder Dad was so neatly involved in housework? I dare to have so many sisters, and I can't do it without being diligent.
"Ye Tian, come, aunt will 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 child and Lan Lan outside to play.
"Auntie, what's the matter?"
Ye Tian followed to the inner room, saw that the aunt and sister-in-law were all sitting on the bed, quickly moved a chair and sat down on the edge of the bed, and said: "Sister-in-law, don't talk about money again, I have said it, you don't have to take care of the money......"
After learning that Ye Tian's money was borrowed from Yu Qingya, his aunts added their thoughts, except for Ye Dongmei, who really had no choice, the eldest sister and the second sister were trying to find a way to collect money during this time.
After hearing Ye Tian's words, Ye Donglan shook her head and said: "Xiaotian, this is not good, you can almost make up 20 yuan a year ago, and you will return it to others when the time comes, our old Ye family can't take advantage of this ......."
"What's so cheap? Auntie, that bracelet is still wearing on her bracelet, besides, I gave it to you, you don't have to worry about this, let's think about my sister-in-law's surgery after the New Year......" Ye Tian shook his head, and changed the topic in a few 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 undergo a kidney transplant after the Spring Festival.
During this time, all Ye Dongmei has to do is to restore her body to the best state, strive to reduce rejection after the transplant is completed, and integrate smoothly with it.
Seeing Ye Tian's appearance of an adult kissing, Ye Dongmei and the others laughed, Ye Donglan said: "Xiaotian, this matter is not something you should worry about, don't talk about money, let my aunt tell you something else......"
"Something else? Auntie, you said......" Ye Tian sat up straight.
"Xiaotian, I don't know if Dongping has told you about your mother?"
She already knew from Ye Tian that Ye Dongping had come alone all these years, and her resentment towards her brother had basically disappeared.
"About my mother? Dad never mentioned it, aunt, do you know anything?" Although Ye Tian's tone was very stable, there was a hint of longing in his eyes.
After hearing Ye Tian's words, the three sisters looked at each other, and Ye Tian's aunt said: "Xiaotian, you are not young anymore, this matter should not be hidden from you, Dongping won't say it, aunt will tell you......
Your grandfather was once a high-ranking official in the Beiyang government, and later after the founding of the Republic of China, he also held public office in BJ, and the Ye family was a prosperous ...... at that time."
Ye Donglan's words lasted for more than half an hour, and the things she said were quite tortuous and bizarre, until the old lady finished speaking, Ye Tian did not come back to her senses.
It turns out that the old Ye family in the mouths of these three sisters is not unknown, and in modern Chinese history, they have also left indelible traces, especially Ye Tian's great-grandfather, who was also the number one person under President Yuan back then.
And Ye Tian's mother had an uncle, Song Haotian's uncle, who followed Mr. Sun before the Republic of China, and was arrested by Beiyang when President Yuan became emperor.
The Song family was also a deep-rooted big family in the capital at that time, and their direct descendants were arrested, and they immediately asked someone to spend money to find a relationship.
Who knew that the president at that time gave 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 was a common thing in that chaotic era, the old man of the Ye family didn't take it to heart at the time, but the Song family was not a small family, although he didn't immediately go to the Ye family to reason, but this hatred ...... But it was concluded.
As the saying goes, Feng Shui takes turns, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, and after the founding and liberation of the People's Republic of China, the Song family escaped several movements in the early fifties because they had given help to the ruling party during the war.
But the Ye family, there is no such good luck, the old man's experience in the Beiyang government and the Republic of China government has become a major stain on the Ye family, coupled with the Song family's push, the old man was imprisoned at the age of seventy or eighty, and before the final results came out, he ended up depressed a few months later.
In this way, the Song and Ye families formed a deep hatred, but the Song family was engaged in industry back then, and even in that difficult period, they could still develop and grow.
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.
However, although the Ye family was dilapidated, no one forgot the grievances between the two families, which was 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.
