The modern me and the Republic of China her

Chapter 317 Don't drive me away

Mr. Lin didn't show mercy, but he felt very sorry for his daughter's refusal to eat, so he quickly put meatballs in the bowl in front of her.

"I haven't eaten or drank since morning, aren't you hungry?"

Lin Mi heard that his father was not very angry with him, so he was relieved a lot, and the smile returned to his face.

Seeing her taking a small bite of the ball, Li Yan chewed it lightly with a surprised expression, and was also happy along the way.

"Miss, try this dish again!"

She quickly tasted the scrambled eggs he put into the bowl, and praised: "The dishes you cook are so delicious!"

"I cook every meal here, but the conditions are difficult, and I can't make better things for everyone to eat."

Lin Mi quietly looked at his father and cousin, they were all satisfied with the meal, while Caiwei probably didn't have a good appetite, so she moved her chopsticks a few times and left her seat.

She went outside to fetch water to wash her face, went back to the house, took a small bag with her, and was about to go out.

"I'm going to do some shopping and I'll be right back."

After she finished speaking, she left, leaving the four of them in the room, and the surroundings were quiet as usual.

Mr. Lin waited until the bowls in the hands of the three children had run out, and the plates and dishes on the table were also empty, so he stopped them and started talking.

Lin Yitang was afraid that his uncle would reprimand him again, and wanted to find an excuse to slip away. As soon as he stood up, he was dragged back like an eagle catching a chick.

Li Yan has followed him for many years and deeply understands Mr. Lin's temper.Seeing this scene, I immediately guessed that something important was going to be said, so I sat upright, ready to listen carefully.

The little guard held his chest and thought, no matter what the major general said, as long as he stays with him obediently and doesn't talk too much, he will be fine.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Lin's eyes fell directly on himself, and his tone was not only serious, but also heavy.

"Son, I'm sorry, I have kept something from you for 17 years."

Lin Mi and Lin Yitang looked at each other in confusion when they heard this, and were stunned at the same time.

They looked at him in unison, as if they were getting to know him again for the first time.

Li Yan was happy one second, but fidgeted the next.

Regardless of the reactions of the three juniors, Mr. Lin seemed to be detached from the matter, and continued to talk about the following with an attitude of wanting to be more realistic with the past.

"Before you were picked up by the cooking soldier Lao Li, you were the young master of a big family."

"Have you ever thought about finding your relatives all these years?"

Li Yan was confused, he patted his head, and responded in confusion: "Major General, I don't care about my background, as long as I can follow you and Miss, I am very content."

Mr. Lin couldn't help but burst into tears, and his tone became even lower: "A relative is digging three feet and looking for you everywhere, you should meet each other as soon as possible, so that the flesh and blood can be reunited."

As soon as these words came out, this little man who had shed blood but not tears for many years cried.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu."

Lin Yitang hastily touched his ankle with the toe of the shoe under the table, begging his uncle to calm down with a helpless look.

Lin Mi hurried over and handed Li Yan a small handkerchief, and patted him on the back by the way.

"Don't be sad, my father is reluctant to let you go. My cousin and I are also reluctant. The four of us will always be together."

Seeing that Li Yan was crying so hard that he couldn't speak, Mr. Lin remembered that his expression was too serious and scared him.After all, he is only a 17-year-old boy, so it's no wonder he can stand it when he mentions his background in a decent way.

"Son, I mean, you want to go, or you want to continue to suffer with us here, it's up to you to choose."

He sighed deeply, bit his lips, and made up his mind to reveal the truth:

"General Hong, who holds real power in the city now, is your uncle. Since last month, he has sent people south to find you—"

Lin Yitang's eyes widened.He had seen General Hong's photos and information not long ago when he was looking through the secret file bag kept by his uncle, and he still had a deep impression.

He carefully compared the facial features and figures of the two in his mind, and exclaimed: "It's really similar, the eyebrows and eyes are almost the same!"

Li Yan suddenly remembered, on the night Mr. Lin was admitted to the hospital, he met Mrs. Lin when he rushed to visit.

At that time, she said meaningfully that the Lin family was defeated, and Lin Yitang was imprisoned without knowing when he would be released, and she wanted to betroth her daughter to herself
At that time, the little guard only thought it was Mrs. Lin's angry words in a moment of confusion. After all, his identity and status were far from Lin Mi's. It was a great honor and contentment to be able to work for her for the rest of his life.

Now that Mr. Lin and Lin Yitang reacted like this, Li Yan, who was belatedly aware of it, finally understood Mrs. Lin's good intentions.

This choice is related to his future and destiny.

He always believed that Major General Lin was a noble person in his life, who changed his entire life trajectory——
Ever since he could remember, the cook soldier Lao Li had brought him up in an extremely rough way.

There are endless tasks to be done day and night, carrying water, lighting a fire, washing vegetables, cutting vegetables, and washing dishes.
Lao Li is half-deaf, and his words are pitiful, and he can't read even half a basket of characters.Li Yan grew up in the kitchen, smoky, and had no chance to learn cultural knowledge. Even his name was chosen with the help of a veteran with a little ink.

If it wasn’t for Major General Lin’s sympathy for his subordinates one day, he went to the kitchen to see the food situation of the soldiers, and found a little boy buried in the ground writing with a branch. retired.

Scenes of the past flashed before his eyes.Li Yan is only 17 years old. He is brave enough and smart enough to be regarded as a handsome young man with both civil and military skills. But facing such a heavy choice, he is really stumped.

Mr. Lin felt a headache hit him, and he had to suppress the massacre of the Hong family that had been brewing in his heart for a long time.

At that time, General Hong and himself were from the same township and classmate, and had worked together before. Later, because of the different roads, they went north alone, which touched the interests of some local people and caused a catastrophe.

Looking at Li Yan's state of serious injuries, if he had to face the tragic fact that his parents died in the fire immediately, and the whole family was left with only his uncle and himself, he might not be able to bear such great grief.

"Son, that's all I'm going to say today. Go or stay, you decide for yourself."

Lin Yitang had heard a little bit of the inside story from his elders, and at first he was worried that his uncle would tell the whole story, afraid that Li Yan would find it hard to accept.

Mr. Lin's sanity is still there, and he kept some related secrets in time.

Although Lin Mi didn't know the ins and outs of this matter at all, he was relieved to see that his father was no longer pressing.

Li Yan wiped away his tears and bowed to Mr. Lin.

"Major General, I only have one request, don't drive me away!"

"Where are you, where is my home!"

His eyes were filled with sincere tears, Lin Mi wiped him several times, the handkerchief was soaked.

Mr. Lin hugged Li Yan, touched his head, and said softly: "From now on, call me Uncle Lin. Mi'er and Yitang don't call you Miss and Young Master, just call them by name. At least, right now, we are still a family." people."
