After Yi Ping'an returned to the research institute, he began to organize his future research and development ideas. Some things could not be popularized in the country for the time being, so he sold them.

First make money to develop yourself and national defense. Without weapons, you will feel insecure. You will have a fear of insufficient firepower. This is a serious disease and it is particularly difficult to cure.

Isn’t it often said on the Internet in later generations: “No one can be poorer than the rabbit, because when he is poor, he dares to sell anything.”

Patented technology is also a very profitable project. With Yi Ping'an's reminder, I believe that the developed brains of our predecessors will not suffer any loss. When it comes to strategy, Chinese people are the originators.

Time moves quietly without stopping, and before we knew it, 70 years have passed.

Over the years, Yi Ping'an has gained a lot.

In 68, Yi Ping'an was promoted to a second-level engineer, but this was because he did not have time to take the exam.

He has been working in the home appliance group. He made all kinds of home appliances he could and applied for patents for all of them, as if leaving no way out for others. Then he used all the money to earn foreign exchange.

Now everyone in the institute and the department knew that he was a golden child, a golden child who could earn foreign exchange continuously. Many enemy agents and spies also tried to find him, but they were taken away before they could reach him, which made him feel a little regretful.

There were also great changes in the family. In April 67, Meng Xiaoting gave birth to twin sons, Yi Zhisen and Yi Zhimiao. In June 69, she gave birth to two younger sons, Yi Zhiyan and Meng Zhiyao (pronounced Yao in the second tone).

That’s right, Yi Ping’an’s youngest son took his mother’s surname. This was something Yi Ping’an had agreed with Yi Zhonghai before they were born. The old man was sulking about this for a month, but finally agreed, which touched Yi Ping’an very much.

Spring Festival 69, Cross-campus Study Room

Yi Pingan: "Dad, I want to discuss something with you."

Yi Zhonghai: "What's the matter? Tell me."

"Let me make it clear first, you can't use violence, and you can't get angry." Yi Ping'an gave a heads-up in advance.

"Then you'd better stop talking. I don't want to listen. It must be something bad." Yi Zhonghai felt that what his son was about to say might be beyond his tolerance.

"Dad, it's boring if you say that. Let me tell you, Xiaoting is pregnant with two sons this time. I want the youngest one to have the surname Meng." Yi Ping'an said while observing Yi Zhonghai's expression.

As expected, as soon as he finished speaking, Yi Zhonghai's eyes widened: "What did you say? Say it again?"

"The youngest son's surname is Meng." Yi Ping'an repeated.

"Impossible, I don't agree. You are not marrying a daughter-in-law, so why should the child take the woman's surname?" Yi Zhonghai got angry when he heard this.

"Dad, please don't be so angry. Can you listen to me? My father-in-law's family is full of loyal heroes. Now Xiaoting is the only orphan left. I let the youngest child take her surname because I want to leave a descendant for my father-in-law's family. They gave their lives for the New China. The only thing we can do is to ensure that there is someone to carry on their legacy.

The big leaders all say that men and women are equal. The child can take my surname or my mother's surname. Dad, this is not marrying a son-in-law or adopting a child. I just want future generations to remember them and their contributions. This is inheritance."

After Yi Ping'an finished speaking, Yi Zhonghai was silent for a long time before asking, "Is this what you meant or what Xiaoting meant?"

"That's what I meant. She never said that, and I never told her that I had this idea. Dad, I will soon have five sons. I have no shortage of sons, let alone people to carry on the family line. If I only had one or two sons, I would definitely not say this to you, but now I have five.

Even if his last name is Meng, he is still my son, and he is still your grandson. He calls you grandpa. I just want him to remember his grandfather and those martyrs. "

After Yi Ping'an finished speaking, he just looked at Yi Zhonghai, and the study was silent.

After a long time, Yi Zhonghai took out a cigarette and didn't say anything until he finished it.

Later, Yi Ping'an couldn't help it anymore and said, "Dad, it's not that I don't want this son, nor will I ignore him. Except for the different surnames, he is the same as his brothers. There is no difference."

"Let me think about it." Yi Zhonghai said and walked out of the study. Yi Ping'an also knew what the thinking of this era was like. It was very conservative. For Yi Zhonghai, this was a difficult decision.

But Yi Ping'an did not regret it. He knew it was difficult, but Yi Ping'an was afraid that decades later, when Meng Xiaoting passed away, no one would remember the Meng family, or even people like the Meng family. He could not control others, but he wanted his son to remember his maternal family.

Yi Zhonghai thought about this for a month. He couldn't eat or sleep well. Even an aunt advised him to go to the hospital. Could he be sick? Why couldn't he eat or drink every day?

Until something happened. The deaf old lady in the backyard passed away. Sha Zhu sent her off in a very decent manner, but less than a month after the deaf old lady passed away, almost no one remembered the deaf old lady except Sha Zhu and the old people in the yard.

This incident made Yi Zhonghai feel deeply touched. It turned out that the world is really so realistic. When a person dies, it is like a light goes out. No one except your descendants will remember your existence.

So when Wang Kaixuan came back to deliver something, before leaving, Yi Zhonghai said to Wang Kaixuan: "Kaixuan, go back and tell Ping An that I agree with what he said."

After saying this, Yi Zhonghai returned to the courtyard.

In Wang Kaixuan's words, "Engineer Yi, what kind of problem have you given me? After he said this, I felt like he had aged several years in an instant."

Yi Ping'an smiled but said nothing. His father's leadership for so many years was not in vain. He finally figured it out. From now on, he will be filial to him. Although Yi Ping'an doesn't know if he can do it, he doesn't know if it can be considered filial piety if he is away from home every day.

When Meng Xiaoting gave birth to two little sons, Yi Ping'an finally had time to come back and welcomed his own two little sons.

In June of 69, two little ones were born in the Red Star Hospital. Their nicknames were Huanhuan and Lele.

"Xiaoting, thank you for your hard work." Although Yi Ping'an knew that giving birth was painful, when he really faced such pain, Yi Ping'an swore in his heart that he would never have another child. These five were enough.

Of course, he only dared to say this in his heart but not out loud, otherwise he might really be greeted with an education of love. After having a grandson, his status as a son in his father's heart declined a lot.

When registering the child's household registration after one month, Yi Ping'an directly changed his youngest son's household registration to Meng Zhiyao.

When Meng Xiaoting saw the household registration page, she was stunned. She stared at her youngest son's name in confusion. How could his last name be Meng?

She looked up at Yi Ping'an, and her look of disbelief made Yi Ping'an feel sad.

"Xiaoting, the bloodline of your father-in-law's family cannot be cut off with you. When Lele grows up, you must let him know how great his grandparents are and how great the Meng family is. Remember?"

"Boss, I...I..."

Meng Xiaoting could no longer speak. She hugged Yi Ping'an and burst into tears. It turned out that her husband had always remembered her. He remembered her in-laws' family. Even if she, Meng Xiaoting, went to see her parents in the future, she could hold her head high because the Meng family had a successor.

What Yi Ping'an could not have imagined was that among these five children, Yi Zhonghai loved the youngest one, Lele, the most, and Tietou was always ranked behind him.

Yi Ping'an found it incredible until he heard his father say, "Le Le, you are the most pitiful among all your brothers. You were given away by your father before you were even born. Alas, my poor grandson, grandpa will love you from now on, and we will ignore your cruel and broken father."

Yi Ping'an was so confused that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What was going on? It turned out that love could be transferred.
