As the father and son were talking, they heard someone knocking on the door. Auntie was cooking in the kitchen. When she heard the sound, she went to open the door. When she saw the person outside, she immediately exclaimed, "He Daqing?"

"Sister-in-law, long time no see. Is Lao Yi at home?" He Daqing said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, Brother He, come in quickly." Aunt Zhuo Shi was a little surprised and quickly let the person in. The father and son in the room heard the voice and stood up and walked out of the inner room.

"Brother He, you're back. Come in quickly. It's been a long time since we last met." Yi Zhonghai invited He Daqing into the house and said to Yi Ping'an, "Ping'an, this is your Uncle He, Zhuzi's father."

"Hello, Mr. He." Yi Ping'an nodded to He Daqing and said hello.

"Okay, okay, Old Yi, your son is much better than you. You, old man, really gave birth to a good son." He Daqing smiled and nodded to Yi Ping'an, and then greeted Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Ping'an quickly poured some water for He Daqing and handed him a cigarette. During this time, he was observing He Daqing, and He Daqing was also observing Yi Ping'an.

After looking at He Daqing, Yi Ping'an felt that he was not the kind of person who would elope for a widow. There was cunning and wisdom in his eyes, which made Yi Ping'an convinced that there must be a reason for his leaving.

He Daqing was also secretly observing Yi Ping'an. The more he watched, the colder he felt. He couldn't help but think that Yi Zhonghai really gave birth to a good son. Yu Shui had a good vision. But precisely because of this, this matter was difficult to handle. Yi Zhonghai would not agree.

Even if he could have such a son, he would not let him marry a woman from a humble family. But now that he is back, he should just do his best and leave the rest to fate.

"Old Yi, let's have a drink, brothers?" He Daqing said to Yi Zhonghai with a smile.

"Let's have a drink. But we haven't seen each other for a long time, about ten years, right?" Yi Zhonghai replied.

"Yes, it's been ten years, and things and people have changed." He Daqing sighed.

"Hey, who said it wasn't true? My dear, please make two dishes for me and Brother He so we can drink together." Yi Zhonghai said to the aunt.

"Okay, you guys drink first, I'll be ready soon." The aunt agreed and went to the kitchen.

When Yi Ping'an saw that the two men had something to say, he stood up and said, "Dad, I have some sausages here. Bring them over to you to eat with your wine." Then he left the house.

In fact, there were also red sausages here, and Yi Ping'an was just looking for an excuse. When he arrived at the kitchen, he told Auntie that he would go back to the courtyard to make something to eat. He looked into the house again, and Auntie knew what was going on, so Yi Ping'an went back to the courtyard.

When Yi Ping'an arrived at the cross-courtyard, he went straight into the west wing, moved a chair from the space, and leaned against the back wall of his house to listen to the noise. He wanted to hear what He Daqing wanted to say to Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai: "Brother He, are you back for the New Year?"

He Daqing: "No, I just came back for something and will leave after I finish it. Old Yi, let me toast you first. You have taken good care of Zhu and Yushui over the years."

Yi Zhonghai: "Brother He, you are being too polite. We live in the same courtyard, and I watched Zhu and Yushui grow up."

He Daqing: "Old Yi, I won't beat around the bush. I'll just say it straight. I came back this time just to find you."

Yi Zhonghai: "Looking for me? What's the matter? Tell me, I will definitely help if I can."

He Daqing: "It's Yushui. She likes Ping'an and wants to marry her to you. I know this is a bit presumptuous, but I have to leave in the next two days, so I'll just say it directly. You watched Yushui grow up, you know what she is like, and Zhuzi is married, so she won't be a burden.

I have seen your son, he is a rare talent. My family is marrying up, but the child has grown up. I feel guilty towards Yu Shui. I have to come back and help her no matter what. Lao Yi, tell me the truth, is there any possibility for us to become in-laws? "

Yi Zhonghai looked at He Daqing with shock in his eyes. He never expected that He Daqing came back for his son.

"Brother He, I can't make the decision about Ping An's affairs. You may not know that Ping An's daughter-in-law needs to be politically reviewed, at least for three generations. Can you pass the review?"

Yi Zhonghai said that it was true that he didn't want his son to marry someone from a humble family, but he also didn't want his son to marry someone from a wealthy family because such a daughter-in-law wouldn't get along with them. He was afraid that his son would be bullied by his father-in-law's family, and he was also afraid that his daughter-in-law would make them both angry.

Therefore, Yi Zhonghai always wanted Yi Ping'an to marry someone of equal status and talent, but he also knew how difficult it was. Moreover, with his son's talent, he would have to go on more and more secret missions. If he married a wife who would also go on missions all day, what would they do in the future?

But no matter how he thought about it, he didn't think about Yu Shui. Just based on He Daqing and Sha Zhu's unreliable personalities, he was afraid that they would drag down his son. It was fine to treat them as friends and relatives, but if they became in-laws, then forget it. It was too stupid. He was afraid that they would make his grandson stupid as well.

"Old Yi, I don't know what this political review is about, but when I came back today, I went to the street office and the police station and explained everything clearly. There is no problem with my background. The people who threatened me back then have also been arrested. I am just an ordinary citizen now." He Daqing said firmly.

"I don't know what the political review is about. I haven't even gone through this, so how would I know what it's about? Are you sure you have explained everything clearly? Is there no tail?" Yi Zhonghai confirmed again.

"No, I confessed everything."

"What happened back then? I know you left because of that thing in the backyard, was there any other reason?" Yi Zhonghai only knew what he saw, and he didn't know the deeper reasons.

"Well, it's my bad luck. When I was cooking at the Tan family, I met a person. At that time, the Japanese invaders still ruled the city.

The man was injured and starving at the time, so I gave him a lunch box and bought him some medicine, saving his life. I knew he was from that side, and thought that since we were all fighting the Japanese, I just saved him. I didn't think too much about it, but who knew that this guy would repay kindness with enmity.

When the city was liberated, the military control committee moved into the steel mill. That person knew I worked there and asked me to drug the military control committee. I'm not stupid, how could I do that? Did I not want to stay in the city anymore?

Later, I found out that Boss Lou trusted me, so he threatened me to pass on information about the steel mill to him, tell him the machine models of the steel mill, and steal the workpieces.

Otherwise, they would report me, saying that I was involved with them and had cooked for the Japanese, and that I would become a traitor.

I really had no idea at the time, so I went to ask the old lady in the backyard. The old lady gave me this advice. She told me to leave, leave the city, go far away and never come back. That person wouldn't be able to find me and wouldn't be able to do anything to me. She asked me to help take care of Zhuzi and Yushui, and I could just let Zhuzi break the pot for her in the future.

The reason I came back this time is to make this matter clear. The public security has confirmed to me that I am innocent. As for the accusation that I cooked for the Japanese, there were many people who did things for the Japanese at that time, and I didn't do anything treasonous, so they let me come back.

Lao Yi, what I said is true, not a single word of lies, if I lie to you, let my He family be extinct, just believe me. "He Daqing said a little excitedly.

When Yi Zhonghai heard He Daqing swear, he believed it. This oath was too cruel.

"Brother He, don't get excited. I believe you. The police and the street have proved it to you. How can I not believe it? But brother, I really can't make the decision. At least I have to ask Ping An. Besides, Yu Shui is still in school. Even if we get married, we have to wait until she graduates. Don't you think this makes sense?"

Yi Zhonghai’s main strategy is to delay, and it is impossible to agree anyway.

"Alas, children are a debt. I feel so sorry for them. They were still young at that time. I was afraid that they would be harmed by someone, so I had to say that I ran away with someone and didn't want them anymore. But you know, I never had this thought. They are my own children. I am counting on them to take care of me in my old age. How can I not want them?"

He Daqing started to cry as he spoke. He had been feeling aggrieved for a long time, and he didn't dare to come back until this matter was resolved.

"You mean that person was caught? And there was no trouble left behind?" Yi Zhonghai asked.

"Yes, they were caught. All of them were caught. They all ate peanuts. I don't have to hide anymore in the future." He Daqing laughed as he spoke.

"Then you want to come back?" Yi Zhonghai asked.

"Let's wait and see. I also have a job in Baofu now. If I come back, I will have to quit my job there. It's not easy to find a job here now. We have all formed a joint venture. If I can't stay there anymore, I will come back.

Don't worry, I'm not stupid. I gave the widow everything she deserved, but I won't give her anything she shouldn't have. I had no choice but to go with her. Now I can come back anytime, so what am I afraid of?" He Daqing said with a smile.

"You need to plan well for yourself." Yi Zhonghai nodded after hearing this.

"Old Yi, ask Ping An tomorrow. I know it's a bit of a step above my station, but what if he agrees? He treats Yu Shui well, right?" He Daqing still held on to a glimmer of fantasy.

"Brother He, I'll ask Ping An tomorrow. This kid seems to be clueless. Who wouldn't want a wife at his age? But this kid doesn't have any. It's really worrying."

Yi Zhonghai said this with a sigh, perfectly portraying the image of an old father who is worried about his son's marriage.

Yi Ping'an listened to the conversation in the room and realized the truth. Yi Ping'an felt that He Daqing was really unlucky as he ended up in trouble while saving people.

After knowing the truth, Yi Ping'an no longer stayed in the side room as it was too cold, so he put away his chair and went back to the main room.

As for what He Daqing said about the rain, just explain it clearly when his father asks.
