1977: It all started with a wrong love

Chapter 37 Veteran Father
After searching his memory, Lu Yifan discovered that his previous life's understanding of his father was very vague.

My entire impression of him is that his father is an ordinary old farmer in the countryside, the father who gave birth to him and raised him. Apart from that, there seems to be nothing else.

But through the eldest brother's return from visiting relatives, he had a simple conversation with his father.

He clearly felt that his father might not be as lacking in presence as his previous impression had suggested, and that he was just an old farmer working in the countryside.

After all, if one can casually say "sacrifice one's own family to protect the greater good", and becomes a citizen of the country, one must be responsible for the country throughout one's life.

It is really extraordinary to have such ideological awareness.

Moreover, in the four months or so that he had been with his father after his previous life and after his rebirth, his impression of him was that he was always taciturn and not good at socializing with others. Whenever he had something to do, he would always put his pipe in his mouth to launch a biochemical attack, as if he had something on his mind that he could never finish telling...

He had won the provincial top scorer in the college entrance examination a while ago, and the county and the countryside went to the countryside to announce the good news with drums and gongs...

It was because he had completed the installation and commissioning of the precision CNC machine tools for the county agricultural machinery factory that Director Wang came to thank him with a congratulatory float, gongs and drums, and a two-meter-long plaque...

Later, two famous universities in Beijing came to recruit students...

In the past few days, when sensational rural events happened again and again at home, although his old father was very happy, he always left him the impression of being a "dull and taciturn" old farmer who didn't like to socialize with outsiders.

He has performed so well and is about to become a member of the country.

But the thing is, my father has never said to him such heartfelt words as "sacrifice your own family to protect the whole society" like he did to my eldest brother!

Tell the truth.

After coming to my senses.

Lu Yifan was a little jealous of the father-son relationship between his father and his elder brother.

Doesn’t the old saying go like this: The royal family loves the eldest son, and the people love the youngest son.

We were not born in a royal family.

Why does our old farmer father treat us so clearly?

Or, should we put it another way, this honest old farmer father of ours obviously has higher life standards than the eldest brother? !

As for him, his second brother, eldest sister, and youngest sister, since they were born in ordinary families, it is enough for them to live an ordinary life peacefully? !
It's a bit double standard?!
The eldest brother's return to the village to visit relatives made the house lively.

Not long after, neighbors, such as the village secretary and other elders, came to visit the old house one after another.

The Lu family was a big family in the village, and all the uncles and brothers from my father's side of the family came to visit.

The yard around the old house is too noisy with people coming and going.

After lunch, Lu Yifan returned to his own courtyard, climbed onto the kang and fell into a deep sleep. He slept until dark.

Too much sleep deprivation.

I've been really sleep deprived over the past week.

Just as it got dark, the younger sister and several nephews swarmed over and started to argue with him from the kang, "Third brother, third brother, don't sleep anymore, parents and eldest brother have asked you to come over for dinner. We have prepared a lot of food and wine at home today, and even made dumplings stuffed with pork and green onions. Don't sleep anymore, everyone is waiting for you to come over for dinner!"

Lu Yifan got out of bed because of the noise.

He put on his cotton-padded clothes and cotton shoes and got off the kang yawning.

Seeing that their goal had been achieved, the nephews shouted and rushed out again, disappearing in the blink of an eye. When the younger sister was about to run out, Lu Yifan grabbed her ponytail, startling her and screaming, "Oh, third brother, you hurt me, why are you pulling my head!~~"

Lu Yifan quickly let go of his hand, surprised, "I didn't use much force! Did it really hurt you?"

The younger sister nodded aggrievedly, "Third brother, don't you know how strong your hands are now?"

Lu Yifan was stunned for a moment. It seemed that during the more than four months since he traveled through time and space and was reborn, all aspects of his physical condition had been slowly increasing and changing.

Apart from his unparalleled performance of fighting power on the night when his ex-wife Zhong Xiuping consummated their marriage.

In his daily life, his hand strength, foot strength, and physical fitness are all getting stronger and stronger.

Seeing that the younger sister pouted her lips and looked angry, Lu Yifan quickly coaxed her, "Okay, okay, it's Third Brother's fault. I'll give you one dollar as compensation, okay?" As he said that, he took out a one-dollar bill from his pocket and slapped it on the younger sister's palm.

It’s easier to get things done if you have money.

The little sister who was originally feeling aggrieved suddenly changed from cloudy to sunny.

"Hehe, thank you for the reward, Third Brother. If you still like to pull people's heads, please don't hesitate. I'll give you a discount price. How about one yuan for pulling three times..."

Well, she also took the opportunity to start pit brother's business.

"Go away, go away. Who did you learn these capitalist methods from? You just interrupted me. Third brother, I just wanted to ask you something..."

"Brother, what do you want to ask?"

As Lu Yifan pushed his sister out of the house, he asked in a low voice, "Don't you think that our father's life standards for our eldest brother are much higher than those for the four of us siblings?"

"Hey, I'm the third brother, what do you want to ask?"

The younger sister was nonchalant when she heard this, "Dad has always had high standards for my eldest brother! How come you don't remember your childhood? It happened the year my eldest brother was going to the army. I was only 5 years old at the time, but you were already 7 years old. You should remember it better than me!"

Lu Yifan was a little confused.

Is there such a thing?

I searched my memories of my previous life, but unfortunately my memory of my 7-year-old childhood was blank and I couldn't remember anything.

He said in annoyance, "Tell me now. I was too dumb when I was little and I can't remember anything. What happened that made our dad treat our eldest brother and the four of us siblings so differently? Besides, our dad rarely speaks to us normally, but this time when our eldest brother came back, wow, I didn't expect that our dad would actually be such a chatterbox, and he didn't even bother to smoke his pipe while talking, tsk tsk tsk ..."

The younger sister suddenly burst into laughter, "Third brother, why do I smell a vinegar odor in your house? You are jealous of our eldest brother, hahahaha..."

Lu Yifan's face darkened, "Don't laugh, or I'll give you ten more test papers to practice."

The younger sister immediately felt guilty, "Please don't be so cruel, it's New Year's Day, brother, and let me celebrate the New Year while doing homework..."

"Why don't you tell me the situation now!"

"Our eldest brother is not actually our parents' biological son. He seems to be the orphan of our father's comrade-in-arms. Our father was bravely wounded in the battlefield of the Northern Dynasty and returned from the army. He hadn't married our mother yet, but he already had our eldest brother with him. It was said that in order to save our father on the battlefield, our father's comrade-in-arms lost his life. I heard that he was a platoon leader. Our brother wanted to join the army that year, and our father was determined not to agree at first. Later, our eldest brother made a big fuss, so he had no choice but to agree..."

Lu Yifan was stunned when he heard this:
Tsk tsk, I really didn't realize that my honest old farmer father, who was taciturn, not good at speaking and didn't like to deal with outsiders, actually had such a tragic past. He was a veteran who was wounded and retired in the battlefield of the Northern Dynasty!
Another thing is that my eldest brother is actually the orphan of my father’s comrade-in-arms.

No wonder my father was so hypocritical in treating my eldest brother.
